Chapter 777 - 32: The Bestowed Path of Dao

Chapter 777: Chapter 32: The Bestowed Path of Dao

The gaze lingered on the options of [Primordial Qi Intensity] and [Progression Path], as Gouchen was lost in thought.

He never imagined he would break through the Divine Gate in such a manner, touching that Celestial Gate that blocked most cultivators.

With the continuous influx of Gouchen Star Power.

The [Nine Heavens Qi] in the Primordial Qi section became blurred and started to change.

When the progress reached 100%, the words [Gouchen Star Power] suddenly replaced it.

Correspondingly, the primordial qi within Gouchen underwent a dramatic transformation, even vaguely forming a mysterious connection with the stars in the sky.

"That’s... the Beidou Seven Stars!"

Instinctively looking towards the northern sky, Gouchen seemed to see the Ziwei Star that was shifting its position.

At the same time, a sense of clarity arose in Gouchen’s heart.

In the [Progression Path] section of his personal interface, the enigmatic "Taiyi Path" seemed to refer to these All Heaven Star Gods?

In other words, not only has he penetrated the Divine Gate and touched the Celestial Gate, but even the path ahead has already been illuminated.

If he wished, it seemed he could become a Gouchen Star Monarch at any moment?

This triple-jump advancement, even for Gouchen, who was labeled a "genius" from a young age, seemed extraordinarily outrageous.

Moreover, being greatly influenced by Li Jingshu, Gouchen actually didn’t think much of those All Heaven Star Gods.

[So, "Daluo Path" is the normal certification path?]

Such a thought flashed through his mind, making Gouchen feel like he understood something.

"Taiyi Path" is a shortcut to certification.

These All Heaven Star Gods are existing paths, and they can even be "bestowed" upon others.

As to who "bestowed" this path to him?

Gouchen’s first reaction was to look towards the Yunmeng Marsh in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Aside from the Tao Ancestor, Gouchen couldn’t think of a second being who could easily bestow a path to someone else.

Yet, in this case, a new problem emerged.

What merit did he have to earn the Tao Ancestor’s favor, granting him a path to become a Star God?

In Gouchen’s impression, he had only seen the Tao Ancestor once during the graduation ceremony, and he had no doubt the Tao Ancestor didn’t remember his name.

Just as Gouchen was lost in contemplation, his personal interface suddenly popped up a series of friend messages without the owner’s permission.

[%#@￥*&#￥: Gouchen?]

[%#@￥*&#￥: Finally got in touch with you!]

[%#@￥*&#￥: This damn system that Lady Historian made is really hard to hack!]

[%#@￥*&#￥: Good thing the ’Star God Network’ center blew up, otherwise, I really might not have been able to find you, this sub-node.]

[%#@￥*&#￥: I’m Wu Zhen from the ’Tiangong Launch Center’, here’s my identity verification.]

Accompanied by a massive data stream, Gouchen quickly learned all the personal information and historical achievements related to Wu Zhen.

By comparing these with his past memories, Gouchen quickly verified the garbled identity.

The other party was indeed Wu Zhen from Flying Heaven Stronghold, the director of the "Tiangong Launch Project".

She wasn’t contacting him through the Star God Network but used an even more incredible way, forcibly invading his prosthetic implant through wide-range low-frequency electromagnetic waves.

[Gouchen: Hello?]

Gouchen tentatively inputted the message, and a new window almost immediately popped up in his view.

[%#@￥*&#￥: Now’s not the time for pleasantries, I have more urgent matters requiring your help.]

[%#@￥*&#￥: I believe you’ve seen, the Shanggui Star is falling.]

[%#@￥*&#￥: According to my observations, it’s actively adjusting its falling direction, targeting the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.]

[%#@￥*&#￥: Given the current situation, Lu Huaijin can’t stop it for long.]

[%#@￥*&#￥: I happen to have a ’weapon’ here that can intercept it...]

[%#@￥*&#￥: But there’s a key issue now, I need your help in pinpointing the Shanggui Star’s falling trajectory.]

After sending this series of messages, the pop-up obviously paused.

It was both to further gain Gouchen’s trust.

And to explain the mission’s importance to Gouchen.

Wu Zhen on the other end of the communication channel eventually chose not to hide it and continued explaining in more detail.

[%#@￥*&#￥: That ’weapon’ wasn’t originally intended for the Shanggui Star.]

[%#@￥*&#￥: To be more precise, this thing can’t even be considered a ’weapon’, so it can only strike fixed targets...]

[%#@￥*&#￥: If the Shanggui Star were just simply falling, our ’Qintian Instrument’ could completely calculate and preemptively lock onto the target.]

[%#@￥*&#￥: But the problem now is, that thing is clearly aiming at the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.]

[%#@￥*&#￥: Mere prediction can’t possibly target the Shanggui Star, it will definitely dodge in advance.]

[%#@￥*&#￥: So, we need a ’live coordinate’ for real-time positioning, calibration, and guidance.]

Looking at the series of upcoming pop-ups, Gouchen fell silent once again.

Although he didn’t know what Wu Zhen’s "weapon" was yet.

Just by looking at the term "live coordinates", the mission’s danger was obvious.

[Gouchen: Why not find Ying Long? Isn’t he stronger than me?]

Gouchen wasn’t questioning anything; he simply wondered why Wu Zhen chose him instead of Ying Long.

After all, by any measure, Ying Long’s success rate for the mission was much higher than Gouchen’s.

[%#@￥*&#￥: You think I wouldn’t want to?]

[%#@￥*&#￥: The problem is that brat didn’t implant a ’prosthetic’!]

[%#@￥*&#￥: Just because I screwed him over a few times, now he guards against me like I’m a thief.]

[%#@￥*&#￥: I’m at least half a mentor to him!]

[%#@￥*&#￥: You mountain people always emphasize respecting teachers and valuing the path, and this is how he respects and values it?]

Even through the screen, Gouchen could feel Wu Zhen’s intense resentment.

It was through this series of pop-ups that Gouchen vaguely remembered that Ying Long seemed to have graduated from Flying Heaven Stronghold.

As one of the few top experts who didn’t graduate from Hundred Lands University, Ying Long’s reputation in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range was quite prominent.

Through certain special channels, Gouchen even knew some secrets about Ying Long.

For instance, although the opponent’s whereabouts were mysterious, he often went to Great Xia to teach, being one of Great Xia’s external teachers.

Not knowing about the existence of the [Red Eye Tripod] and Yu Guo, Gouchen believed that Ying Long’s trips to Great Xia were definitely intertwined with Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen’s current admission only indirectly confirmed Gouchen’s suspicion.
