363: Chaotic Star Valley

After the exchange meet ended, the crowd didn't disperse; instead, they gathered to discuss the Dao.

Everyone cultivated a different Dao and followed different Cultivation Techniques, so their insights were naturally different.

But ultimately, all Daos lead to the same destination, and one could learn from others' strengths to gain their own insights.

Murong Lingchen was the first to discuss his own Dao. With his strength as a Peak Golden Immortal, his profound discourse truly allowed Su Yu to grasp a different meaning of the Dao.

In particular, Murong Lingchen cultivated the Great Dao of Thunder, which was inherently similar to the Great Dao of Slaughter.

Furthermore, the Great Dao of Thunder could be merged with the Great Dao of Blood and the True Demon Great Dao to upgrade into the Innate Great Dao of Slaughter.

It could also be merged with the Great Dao of Annihilation to upgrade into the Great Dao of Nirvana.

It was a versatile booster for merging and upgrading slaughter-type Daos.

Su Yu's years of cultivation were less than a fraction of the time these Golden Immortals had spent.

Even the top female Prodigy of the Murong Immortal Clan, Murong Weiwei, had cultivated for a full hundred thousand years before advancing to Golden Immortal.

His cultivation was still shallow, and in terms of understanding the Dao, he was indeed somewhat lacking.

Therefore, this discussion of the Dao benefited him immensely.

Looking at it this way, even without buying treasures to enhance his Dao power, his Great Dao of Slaughter could reach the Late-stage Golden Immortal level within a hundred thousand years.

While other Golden Immortals needed tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years to improve their Dao power by a small Realm, Su Yu only needed a hundred thousand years—this speed was incredibly fast!

With the help of the System, as long as he had enough immortal jade, he could improve his Dao cultivation in a few hundred years at most.

After a century of discussing the Dao, everyone had gained something, and only then did the exchange meet truly come to an end.

After everyone bid their farewells and left, Su Yu was called back by Murong Fuluo and stayed behind.

Murong Weiwei also stayed behind.

"Brother Su, my Murong Immortal Clan has many top Secret Realms that can enhance one's Dao power. I'm going into seclusion this time and won't emerge until after the Dao Child trials.

If you're interested, why not let Weiwei take you on a tour?"

To win Su Yu over, Murong Fuluo had to give him some benefits.

The Murong Immortal Clan provided many Trial Grounds for Golden Immortals, among which there were seven trial Secret Realms that could enhance Dao power!

These seven were almost never open to outsiders.

But during the Dao Child trials, those invited to help as Reinforcements could enter once.

Seven different trial Secret Realms were enough to save a Mid-stage Golden Immortal hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of bitter cultivation!

Murong Fuluo was determined to matchmake Su Yu and Murong Weiwei, so he used seclusion as an excuse to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

"Then I shall respectfully comply!"

Su Yu agreed immediately.

Seven trial Secret Realms—how many benefits could he get!

As for who would lead the way, it made no difference to Su Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Su, please."

Murong Weiwei led Su Yu out of Murong Fuluo's Immortal Mansion and flew toward the seven trial Secret Realms.

"The seven trial Secret Realms of my Murong Immortal Clan are divided into Chaotic Star Valley, Tianya Island, Miracle Mountain, Flying Cloud Sea, Qiu Dao Tower, Forest of Ten Thousand Laws, and Phoenix Flame Mountain!"

Along the way, Murong Weiwei introduced Su Yu to the seven trial Secret Realms of the Murong Immortal Clan suitable for Golden Immortal training.

This Chaotic Star Valley contained the Power of the Astral Constellations; in the sky, there were 108,000 stars.

Each star possessed a weight of nearly several hundred million Dao Jun. By training here, one could absorb the Power of the Astral Constellations to condense the Astral Constellation Dharma Body.

This Dharma Body had mystical uses for comprehending the Dao or combat; ordinary Immortal light hitting the Dharma Body would have its power reduced by twenty percent, up until the Dharma Body's limit.

However, this Dharma Body was not so easy to condense.

Each star weighed more than several hundred million Dao Jun, and one Dao Jun was equal to one hundred million billion trillion units of weight.

To absorb the power of 108,000 stars, one could only absorb them one by one. If one absorbed more than one at a time, the weight would stack.

A normal Golden Immortal could only absorb the power of a hundred stars at once; a Mid-stage Golden Immortal could handle five hundred, Late Stage three thousand, and a Peak Golden Immortal five thousand.

Each star only provided one wisp of the Power of the Astral Constellations per year.

To condense the Astral Constellation Dharma Body, one needed at least eighteen thousand clusters of star power.

Ten thousand wisps made one cluster. Even for a Peak Golden Immortal, after a hundred years, they would only be able to condense fifty clusters at most.

It was no easy task to condense the Astral Constellation Dharma Body and inject the astral power into the 18,000 Immortal Apertures in the body.

And one could only stay in this trial Secret Realm for a hundred years.

Even someone as strong as a Peak Golden Immortal would need at least tens of thousands of years to condense the Dharma Body.

They would have to enter this trial Secret Realm dozens of times.

However, entering the Secret Realm was not free; each entry required ten thousand Murong Immortal Clan contribution points.

Therefore, very few people in the Murong Immortal Clan could condense the Astral Constellation Dharma Body.

As for the remaining six Trial Grounds, Murong Weiwei introduced them all one by one, but Su Yu chose Chaotic Star Valley.

If he condensed the Astral Constellation Dharma Body, he would be even better at close-quarters combat during fights.

Unless it was a Golden Immortal who practiced Body Refining, no one wanted to be approached by a Golden Immortal who cultivated both law and body.

Even if he couldn't finish it, as long as he condensed more than a hundred clusters of the Power of the Astral Constellations, he could Cultivate the Astral Immortal Gang, which could withstand a blow from a Golden Immortal.

Anyway, it wouldn't cost him a cent... "Brother Su, this is the entrance to Chaotic Star Valley."

Murong Weiwei took Su Yu on the clan's Immortal Formation, and in just a few hours, they crossed tens of billions of miles to reach the entrance of Chaotic Star Valley.

Murong Weiwei pointed to a cave entrance at the foot of a massive mountain and smiled at Su Yu.

Above the cave entrance were three large stone-carved characters: Chaotic Star Valley. These characters had weathered over time and were slightly eroded.

However, they were still clearly visible.

Within these three large characters, there was even a trace of the Great Dao of Stars. Looking closely, it was as if one could see billions of stars rotating within them!

"Truly extraordinary. Just the three characters 'Chaotic Star Valley' above the cave entrance bring a sense of pressure to me!

Could it be that your Murong Immortal Clan's Dao Lord Old Ancestor carved them personally?"

A flash of surprise passed through Su Yu's eyes, and he then asked curiously.

"Brother Su has a good eye. The characters on the stone plaque of Chaotic Star Valley were indeed inscribed by our Old Ancestor. It has been ten billion years since then."

Murong Weiwei complimented Su Yu and nodded.

"As expected of a Dao Lord's Divine Ability—to make simple characters inscribed on a plaque remain Immortal for ten billion years!

I'll choose this place. I'll trouble Young Miss Murong to send me in!"

"Alright."

Murong Weiwei agreed and then led Su Yu into the cave entrance.

The cave entrance was blocked by a Formation Restriction, which contained a terrifying power capable of killing a Peak Golden Immortal, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.

However, there was an old man stationed here, guarding this trial Secret Realm of the Murong Immortal Clan.

His cultivation was only at the Late-stage Golden Immortal level.

"Weiwei girl, why have you come? With your current strength, entering Chaotic Star Valley rashly will cause you to suffer greatly."

The grey-robed old man lying on a grand tutor chair raised an eyelid, first glancing at Su Yu with a flash of surprise in his eyes, before speaking to Murong Weiwei.

"Old Ancestor, it's not me who wants to go in.

This is Su Yu, a powerful expert my brother Murong Fuluo invited to help as a Reinforcement, named Su Yu.

He is the one who wants to enter Chaotic Star Valley this time."

Murong Weiwei shook her head.

"So it's a Reinforcement invited by that boy Fuluo. His Immortal light is brilliant; he is indeed extraordinary!

This item is called the Chaotic Star Token; it's the key to enter and exit Chaotic Star Valley. Take it and just walk into the Formation Restriction.

You can only stay inside for a hundred years. If you want to come out early, crush the token and you will be teleported out.

You will also be automatically teleported out when the time is up."

The grey-robed old man gave Su Yu a meaningful look and explained to him.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!" Su Yu nodded slightly, then bid farewell to Murong Weiwei and turned to enter the trial Secret Realm.

After Su Yu entered the Secret Realm, the grey-robed old man looked at Murong Weiwei teasingly and said, "Weiwei, is this fellow the husband your unreliable brother picked for you?"

Hearing this, Murong Weiwei's face immediately turned red with shame, followed by a look of worry. "This person is a disciple of Dao Lord Mingsui and reached the Mid-stage Golden Immortal after cultivating for only five thousand years.

He might not necessarily take an interest in me!"

"What! A Mid-stage Golden Immortal in five thousand years! My goodness, that's simply too Heaven-Defying!

But don't let such a 'golden turtle' son-in-law run away!

Man proposes, God disposes. As long as you're willing to put in the effort, you might just be able to win him over!"

The grey-robed old man's jaw dropped when he heard that Su Yu had cultivated to the Mid-stage Golden Immortal in just five thousand years.

But being an old-timer Golden Immortal after all, he quickly recovered and urged Murong Weiwei to seize the opportunity.

Murong Weiwei forced a smile and agreed, though she felt somewhat melancholy in her heart.
