Chapter 316: 2,000 Years Ago, Heaven Gate Opens
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Cui Heng did not know much about Taihong Star.
The first time he heard of Taihong Star was when he saw Hong Fugui’s message in the Heavenly Void World. He only knew that it was a planet a Great Divine Being.
Later on, when he saw Heavenly Saint Supreme Venerate, he further understood the situation of Taihong Star.
However, the Taihong Star described by Heavenly Saint Supreme Venerate was not very powerful.
Heavenly Saint Supreme Venerate’s father, Divine Lord Tianhe, had passed by Taihong Star on the way to Daozhou Star with the Dao God.
At that time, everyone, including the Dao God, took a group of people from the Living Star as their initial team.
This was also the origin of the Ten Immortal Sects of the Heavenly Void World.
That was 10,000 years ago. Back then, the Dao God was only a Limitless Golden Immortal, and the people accompanying him were only at the Golden Immortal realm.
Moreover, Divine Lord Tianhe had also described the situation of Taihong Star to Heavenly Saint Supreme Venerate.
The strongest was only a Mystic Deity. It was insignificant.
In the starry sky of the myriad worlds, stars of this level were insignificant. They were far from the Taihong Star that Hong Fugui had mentioned in his letter.
Great Divine Being was indeed a general term, not a term for a specific realm.
However, generally speaking, this title was at least for existences at the level of Sage Kings. Some places also called a Creator a Great Divine Being.
......
In short, this was unlikely to be a title that only a Mystic Deity-level planet could have.
Unless this planet had no communication with the outside world, it was possible to call the strongest person on this planet a Great Divine Being.
However, from the various traces left behind by Hong Fugui’s wife and her series of actions, this was not the case.
Taihong Star definitely knew a lot about the myriad worlds in the starry sky. It was impossible for such a low-level mistake to happen.
Moreover, after Cui Heng met Li Heng, he even obtained a star map that marked the location of Taihong Star. He then learned that Taihong Star had actually disappeared into thin air 2,000 years ago.
It was only when he saw the letter left behind by Hong Fugui and his wife in the Juntian Palace at the core of the Dark Sea Star that he finally learned of Taihong Star’s current location. It was actually very far from its original location.
In Cui Heng’s opinion, this Taihong Star had too many bizarre and inexplicable aspects that were very worth investigating.
After all, although he had already broken through to the Peak of the Nascent Soul realm, it did not mean that his Nascent Soul cultivation had ended.
Just like every minor realm from before, after reaching the Peak of the Nascent Soul realm, one could only complete this level of cultivation by constantly accumulating experience.
In other words, the current Cui Heng still needed to explore unknown knowledge to increase his Nascent Soul cultivation.
This was also one of the reasons why he asked about the Hong brothers’ situation.
Exploring this unknown was helpful to his cultivation.
After meeting the Hong brothers, Cui Heng planned to exchange for the Primary Grade Immortal Technique and enter seclusion for a period of time to study it carefully and think about how to break through to the Soul Formation realm.
At that time, he could explore the unknown and pave the way for breaking through to the Soul Formation realm at the same time.
It was a two-pronged approach.
Hong Renxi and Hong Renxu were not surprised by Cui Heng’s question.
In their opinion, a powerful supreme existence like Cui Heng could only be interested in Taihong Star.
After all, the development of Taihong Star could indeed be said to be a legend. It was also widely spread in the surrounding realms and was even compiled into a storybook in many places.
Hence, Hong Renxi organized his words and replied very respectfully, “Immortal Venerable, the current Taihong Star has a total of three Mystic Palaces, four Buddhist monasteries, and 21 Immortal Sects. These are the strongest forces.
On the surface, there are a total of 275 Sages, 68 Sage Kings, and five Creators. The surrounding 31 worlds and 105 starry skies are all ruled by Taihong Star.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent.
Hui Shi and Li Cheng were dumbfounded. They looked at Hong Renxi in disbelief, almost thinking that they had heard wrongly.
There was actually such a powerful star in this world?
It was not inferior to the Purple Sun Realm, which was known as the Immortal World. It was too ridiculous.
The Purple Sun Realm had a portion of its foundation as the Purple Sun Heaven, as well as the three main planets, but they only had eight Creators.
There were actually five Creators on Taihong Star.
And this was only on the surface.
There might be other hidden existences in the dark.
After all, the lifespan of a Creator was very long. It was not impossible for them to live in seclusion for tens of thousands of years and disappear without a trace. No one knew what would suddenly appear.
Cui Heng was also a little surprised.
However, he did not think that Taihong Star was powerful.
In the myriad worlds, and vast endless starry skies, even millions of Creators could not compare to a slightly larger star.
Compared to this vast universe, it was not even an insignificant adjective.
What surprised him was that Taihong Star only had a Mystic Deity 10,000 years ago. Even if it had undergone a huge development 2,000 years ago and had seven Sages, it was still a far cry from the current Taihong Star.
In just 2,000 years, a Mystic Deity might not even be able to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.
However, Taihong Star had developed from seven Sages to the current level of five Creators, 68 Sage Kings, and 275 Sages.
This leap was too exaggerated.
It was completely unnatural. It could even be said to be illogical.
“As far as I know, Taihong Star only had seven Sages 2,000 years ago,” Cui Heng said in a low voice.
“That’s right.” Hong Renxi nodded and said, “The 2,000 years period was a huge change for Taihong Star. It’s an earth-shattering change and a huge opportunity.
Other than the two who died, the former seven Sages have already become Creators. They are the five Creators of Taihong Star that I mentioned previously.
“They are in charge of the three Mystic Palaces and two of the four Buddhist monasteries. Junior also have to report to Immortal Venerable that my great-grandfather was one of the seven Sages at that time.”
“He and the other four seniors obtained a huge fortune in that drastic change. Only then did they have their subsequent achievements and created the current Taihong Star.”
Hui Shi and Li Cheng were amazed and shocked.
What kind of fortune was that?!
It could actually make a Sage become a Creator in just 2,000 years!
It was simply unbelievable!
If Mingzhen knew about this, his eyeballs would probably fall out of their sockets from jealousy.
“Is Taihong Star’s disappearance and transfer to its current location also related to this drastic change?” Cui Heng asked. “Why did Taihong Star disappear back then?”
He had made some guesses about this, but none of them seemed to be the right answer.
“Immortal Venerable, it’s indeed as you said. The reason why Taihong Star is in its current position is because of the drastic change 2,000 years ago,” Hong Renxi said respectfully.
“Because, just 2,000 years ago, the legendary Door of Heaven opened outside Taihong Star.”
