Chapter 1022: Chapter 553: Factions Gather, Undercurrents Surge
Bei Ye experienced a calamity from nowhere, becoming a sacrificial pawn in a conspiracy. Upon awakening, he immediately returned to his clan to avoid witnessing his peers thrive while he suffered damage to his foundations, risking a collapse of his Dao Heart due to the inability to advance his cultivation.
"When the Deep Space Sea affair is over, I will go see him."
Their real target was himself, and Bei Ye suffered as collateral damage. Although this incident wasn’t Jiang Shu’s fault, he felt obliged, both emotionally and rationally, to visit him.
When Luo Venerable arrived, he saw the bustling scene.
As the leader of the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, he was naturally pleased to see the harmonious interaction among the young members of the Business Association.
The further advancement of a powerful force hinges critically on the supreme strength.
Yet the new generation is also extremely significant.
Looking at them now, perhaps in a thousand years, these geniuses might further their progress. Some might even step into the Eleventh Rank.
"Board the ship!"
With Luo Venerable’s command, everyone boarded the interstellar warship, heading majestically towards the Chaos Star Domain.
Jiang Shu stood at the bow, hands behind his back, resembling an otherworldly being, with an immortal aura and Dao Bone, exuding an indescribable elegance.
However, at that moment, he suddenly turned his head, gazing at the void behind.
Through years of battle and combat, Jiang Shu’s senses had become exceptionally acute.
Moments ago, he vaguely felt someone might be watching him from the shadows, harboring ill intentions and extreme malice. But when he turned, he found nothing, as if that feeling had merely been an illusion.
No, his senses wouldn’t deceive him.
Could someone really be observing him in secret?
But this was the Business Association’s ship. Apart from Luo Venerable, another strong individual in the Venerable Realm was aboard, making it impossible for outsiders to infiltrate.
Yet others’ cultivation wouldn’t suffice to obscure Jiang Shu’s senses.
Meanwhile, a figure suddenly appeared inside a cabin, patting their chest in a bit of relief.
Jiang Shu’s senses were so powerful that merely glancing at him led to detection, unable to avoid it, nearly meeting his gaze.
"Just a few more days of your carefree life."
...
In the Star Ruins Realm, undercurrents were surging.
The entire cosmic focus gathered within the Chaos Star Domain, as Supreme Geniuses and ancient anomalies shifted their competition from the Eternal Tower to the Chaos Star Domain. On their journey, even destroyed interstellar warships could be seen, with unknown whereabouts of the Supreme Geniuses and strong individuals aboard, likely perishing at others’ hands.
Present in the Chaos Star Domain were not only powerful forces from the inner circle but also many lesser-known weak forces, eager to seize this grand stage for their shining debut, creating their own glory.
Throughout the long river of history, there are never shortages of rising dark horses and fallen geniuses that captivate discussions.
However, the likelihood is minor, as most weak forces serve as embellishments or stepping stones for the powerful forces, risking slight injuries. It could even lead to disastrous consequences.
Those interstellar warships drifting among the cosmos prove how unfettered the strong individuals, possessing immense power, are in their rampant killings.
The mindset of being watched was etched into Jiang Shu’s heart.
He spotted a vast planet afar.
The Chaos Star Domain had arrived.
The Chaos Star Domain, expansive and boundless, with hundreds of colossal planets orbiting, occasionally accompanied by patrol teams formed by various forces, exhibited an orderly scene, entirely negating the "Chaos" in its name.
"Is that... a planet?"
A genius from Jiuyu Commerce Alliance stood on the deck, staring wide-eyed at the distant colossal planet in disbelief.
It was an extremely gigantic planet.
So massive that words failed to describe it.
Even Jiang Shu could not conceal his inner shock, stirred emotions.
It was colossal, Jiang Shu had never seen such a huge planet.
The magnitude of the Chaos Star Domain far exceeded everyone’s imagination, as the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance’s interstellar warship neared that gigantic star, appearing insignificant as a speck of dust.
A faint purple halo enveloped the star’s surface, with countless rune chains appearing intermittently in the void, exuding the aura of myriad Law Origins, as if consolidating the Three Thousand Dao, anchoring the entire Star Domain firmly.
Jiang Shu stood at the ship’s bow, gazing at this gigantic planet, his eyes flashing with brilliance, intricate patterns emerging within his pupils.
"Not to mention Deep Space Sea, these chains alone present an exceptional opportunity."
Yu Tianming followed behind him in admiration.
Jiang Shu nodded, saying, "This place is named Ten Thousand Dao Stele Forest, said to be crafted by the Manifest Saints who integrated the chaotic battlefield into the Chaos Star Domain in unknown ages past."
"They extracted their own Dao, solidifying it between heaven and earth with supreme might, forming this Ten Thousand Dao Stele Forest, signifying opportunity is here for later generations to seize. Yet, in reality, throughout the years, there’s no one able to discern anything from it. Only among those great forces circulate the notion that these Daos are sealed away, only breakthrough by fellow supreme powerhouses in the Saint Realm can reveal their true form."
With cultivation in the Manifested Saint Realm, why would there be a need to seek opportunities here?
