Chapter 745: The Unique Dao

「One month later.」

Before the sealed entrance of the Ten Thousand Stars Hall.

A young man sat cross-legged.

His eyes were closed, yet he seemed to be looking up at the sky.

As if, this way, he could see the endless stars in the distant cosmos even more clearly.

And not far behind him.

A cyan-robed figure stood quietly.

A hint of joy showed in her eyes.

‘Yue’Er’s child is truly a genius. In just one short month, he has already thoroughly comprehended all the secret scriptures of my Dark Star Clan, including the Dark Star Scripture. Given time, perhaps he can truly help our Dark Star Clan return to the Void Dark Realm.’

Dark Star Cyan Nether thought to herself.

Her gaze toward Yang Xiao grew increasingly gentle.

He was, after all, the hope of their Dark Star Clan.

And just then.

Dazzling starlight flickered across Yang Xiao’s body.

A faint sound of Vibration emanated from within him.

As if something was circulating inside.

If someone were to carefully observe Yang Xiao’s entire body at this moment, they would discover that his acupoints were constantly drawing in and expelling powerful Star Power.

This power was incredibly dense, yet it was not simple.

It not only contained the Star Power that Yang Xiao had previously cultivated, but also possessed Dark Star Power.

Two types of power.

One represented the Star Power of the True Realm.

The other represented the Star Power of the Void Dark Realm.

Though they seemed disparate, they actually shared the same root.

As the two converged,

they spontaneously drew upon the Void Power between heaven and earth, pouring it into his body and flesh, as if trying to separate the two forces.

Yet Yang Xiao did not stop it.

He observed the 108,000 stars within the Ten Thousand Stars Hall.

He also observed the endless stars between heaven and earth.

He had come to understand a principle.

That is, the mutual attraction and rotation among the stars were not due to some Array, but because of the stars themselves—because of the spontaneous rotation of all stars.

And it was precisely this spontaneous rotation that formed an even more profound Array.

A natural Array.

‘Grandfather’s Great Star Dominating Body was influenced by the Ten Thousand Stars Array. Therefore, the Great Star Dominating Body only utilizes 108,000 acupoints in the human body. But this way, the remaining acupoints are unable to be tempered by Star Power. Over time, although the Great Star Dominating Body is strong, it will develop weaknesses.’

‘But when I observe the stars of heaven and earth, there isn’t the slightest trace of artificiality, yet they can attract one another. Moreover, stars come in all sizes and weights. If I were to refine them all myself like Grandfather did, I would lose out on endless possibilities. So now, I will let the miniature stars condensed from all the Star Power in my body rotate spontaneously, constantly absorbing the Star Power of heaven and earth. In the future, even if I don’t understand the Secret of the Stars, these stars will evolve on their own. Why interfere? And why bother trying to comprehend it?’

Yang Xiao smiled faintly.

This was the sliver of a different Star Dao he had comprehended from the Ten Thousand Stars Array.

And this different Star Dao…

…seemed almost unorthodox.

But in reality, it perfectly aligned with the ultimate mystery of stellar evolution.

Just as Yang Xiao had thought.

He did not interfere, only continuously absorbing Star Power while also integrating Dark Star Power.

Naturally,

these miniature stars would develop according to their own volition.

At the same time,

to compensate for the shortcomings of the Great Star Dominating Body, he also condensed miniature stars in his other acupoints. This way, even though the Array of Ten Thousand Stars he had previously formed had collapsed…

…even now…

…the countless stars within his body had not formed a new configuration.

And without forming a new configuration, he couldn’t consolidate the power of these stars, which meant Yang Xiao could not obtain immense strength.

However,

he did not try to control them.

Nor did he pay it any mind.

He was determined to let these miniature stars spontaneously absorb, rotate, and operate until they reached a delicate balance, just like the stars in the sky.

Rotating and twinkling on their own.

Forming a self-contained system.

Once that system was formed, he would then draw out this immense power.

This was Yang Xiao’s Great Star Dominating Body.

He believed,

that as long as the miniature stars in his body reached equilibrium, he would definitely obtain a Great Star Dominating Body far more powerful than the one he had cultivated using the Ten Thousand Stars Array.

At the same time,

in addition to his acupoints,

Yang Xiao began to condense miniature stars within his flesh, pores, and even his internal organs and bone marrow.

He let them rotate spontaneously.

Moving on their own accord.

He even lit up one miniature star after another within his sea of consciousness and his Divine Soul.

‘Right, the stars in the sky seem to have all sorts of different attributes. I’ve comprehended twenty different Great Daos and condensed twenty different Hearts of Secret Patterns. If I combine these powers with Star Power, how many more variables will that add to the mix?’

Yang Xiao began to smile.

He was filled with ever-increasing anticipation for the cultivation he was about to begin.

At this moment, he had already stepped into the Demigod Realm.

He possessed a cultivation at the Blue Flame Realm Second Revolution Great Success.

Ordinary people at this level…

…would need to fuse their successfully comprehended Heart of Secret Patterns with their Divine Soul, flesh, and Essence Qi.

Then, they would refine the Dao Fire.

Turning it into Divine Fire.

They would begin tempering their own body, then condense the most essential parts, along with their comprehension, to forge a Divine Format of their own.

Furthermore, they would need to comprehend enough Void Power from the void to stabilize it.

But Yang Xiao had comprehended twenty Hearts of Secret Patterns.

Which had likewise turned into twenty clusters of Dao Fire.

Originally, he had been worried about how to refine these twenty types of Dao Fire into a special kind of Divine Fire, such as his previous idea.

Which was to use the commonalities of the Chaos Secret Pattern to completely fuse these powers,

and forge a special Chaos Divine Fire.

But now,

Yang Xiao had a better idea.

And that was to infuse all the Dao Fire into all the stars within his body.

To see how many types of Great Dao these stars could retain.

This way,

they would truly become like the stars in the sky,

exhibiting all sorts of attributes.

At the same time, they would possess all sorts of wonders.

And this…

…seemed to integrate with the Void Sword Manual he had comprehended.

Using one Dao to contain all things.

But at this moment,

this Dao was no longer merely the Star Dao.

Nor was it simply about containing one Dao, or two.

Instead, it was filled with variables.

Perhaps some stars could only contain one Great Dao.

Perhaps two would appear.

Maybe three, four… or even as many as twenty would appear.

Moreover, even those that contained the same three or four Great Daos wouldn’t necessarily be identical.

It was filled with infinite possibilities.

It also looked incredibly chaotic.

But once he succeeded…

‘I’m afraid I will walk a path no one has ever walked before. And this… this might be the unique foundation for my ascension to godhood in this life! When that time comes, my strength will likely see immense growth. Putting everything else aside, just in terms of Physical Strength, I’m afraid that upon success, I’ll have the chance to possess the power of a True Dragon!’

With a faint smile, Yang Xiao closed his eyes.

The situation within his body was already incomparably complex.

For any Cultivator, it was incredibly dangerous.

Because if one thing went wrong,

he might just explode and die.

But Yang Xiao…

…showed no hint of fear.

He faced it with serene indifference.

His physical body grew stronger and stronger under the tempering of the starlight.

At the same time, the starlight on his body grew brighter and brighter as time passed.

It was incredibly dazzling.

Incredibly powerful.

Even Dark Star Cyan Nether in the distance couldn’t help but feel a tremor in her heart.

‘It’s too powerful.’

‘Once this power stabilizes…’

‘…and is truly wielded by Yang Xiao…’

‘…I’m afraid…’

‘…the entire world will be shaken by this child, won’t it?’
