On the top of the tallest mountain in Pu Ban City, Ji Hao stood on the edge of a cliff. A strong gale blew against his Taiji cloak, causing a loud noise. His broad sleeves looked like the wings of a white crane, seeming to carry Ji Hao up into the sky at any time.
From time to time, he touched his ribs. Ever since he was injured by the star power released by Si Xi when he ascended to the sky, Ji Hao always felt uncomfortable, as if a little bit of star power lingered in his body, disabling him from calming himself down.
Si Wen Ming sat on a rock beside him with his legs crossed, with a long sword casually stuck in the rock. He raised his head and knitted his eyebrows, looking at the starry sky in a daze.
For an unknown reason, this night, the starry sky was especially bright and splendid. Countless different sized stars were right next to each other, glowing splendidly and brightly, making the night sky as bright as the daytime.
"Abba's star, where is it?" Si Wen Ming abruptly raised his hand, trying to find the star that Si Xi's soul merged with.
Ji Hao spread his hands and shook his head.
Every peak-level Divine Magus would absorb the star power from nine natural stars and condense eighty-one inner spirit stars inside their bodies, then build the ninety-nine star-sealing magic formation to prepare for breaking into the level of Supreme Magi in the future.
As for which nine natural stars would a peak-level Divine Magus choose, that was a top secret.
Si Wen Ming only knew that Si Xi chose nine natural stars with the nature of earth, but he didn't know exactly which nine natural stars he chose. Among these nine natural stars, which one would Si Xi seal inside his body with the ninety-nine star-sealing magic formation and use it to break into the level of Supreme Magus? That would be Si Xi's choice before the battle, and no one else could ever know.
In the vast starry sky, there were billions of natural stars, among which, the natural stars with the nature of earth accounted for the largest part.
These natural stars had been moving in the starry sky with complicated orbits. Even among those powerful beings who lived since the prehistorical era, very few of them could figure out the orbits of natural stars in the starry sky.
As for which star Si Xi was on, and where that star was now, no one knew, and no one could find out.
"One day, Minister Si Xi will absorb that natural star for good, then build a divine star king body with the star power, and show up in front of us again!" Looking at Si Wen Ming, who was in a trance, Ji Hao hurriedly comforted him gently, "As long as his soul is still there, Lord Si Xi is not dead!"
Si Wen Ming grinned, shook his head and said in a deep and powerful voice, "But we all know that it is different. How many years will it take before I can see my father again? Ten thousand years? Twenty thousand years? Or even longer? "
Spreading his hands, Si Wen Ming smiled at Ji Hao and said, "Do you know how many powerful human beings have truly become Supreme Magi after Emperor Fuxi gathered the wise ones and created the ninety-nine star-sealing magic formation, which opened a new path of cultivation for our humankind?"
Ji Hao tilted his head and looked at Si Wen Ming. He was indeed curious about this.
"Less than a hundred!" Si Wen Ming said a number that made Ji Hao's brain freeze, and he couldn't come back to his senses for quite a while.
What kind of joke was this? Ji Hao didn't know which era Emperor Fuxi was from. Emperor Fuxi was one of the three oldest human emperors, even older than Emperor Xuanyuan. From the era of Emperor Fuxi till now, no more than a hundred powerful human beings had become Supreme Magi, right?
Sighing slightly, Si Wen Ming reached out a finger, waved it towards Ji Hao, and said blandly, "A true Supreme Magus is a true Supreme Magus who can truly absorb the trace of natural law contained in the star core and control all the power of that star. With that, he can make breakthroughs, make further progress, and walk freely in the world. That is a true Supreme Magus!"
Raising his head and looking at the stars in the sky, Si Wen Ming continued slowly, "Those natural stars are dangerous … Draw the star into your body, and after your soul enters the star core, you have to slowly refine the star with great perseverance and willpower. You have to wear down the original marks left in the star core by those star kings. Then, you have to refine your physical body and soul until both of them reach an extreme level. Only then can you truly control that star."
"During this process, countless dangers exist. With a slight carelessness, your body will be turned into ashes, and your soul will perish!" Said Si Wen Ming in a low voice, "Abba's physical body is destroyed, and only his soul is left. Without the nourishment of his spirit blood, to control that star … I'm afraid that it will take a hundred times more time and effort."
"Do you know how many people managed to break into the level of peak-level Divine Magi and draw natural stars into their bodies since the era of Emperor Fuxi?" Si Wen Ming gave a faint smile and asked a question with a trace of frustration.
"More than a million, Ji Hao … Ever since Emperor Fuxi, over a million human beings have broken into the level of Divine Magi!" A trace of bitterness emerged on Si Wen Ming's face as he continued in a low voice, "But among them, over sixty percent were controlled by the real stars, and turned into star puppets."
Ji Hao popped out his eyes in shock, looking at Si Wen Ming.
Over a million human beings had broken into the level of Divine Magi? That was right. Based on the tremendous population of the humankind and the abundant resources in Pan Gu world, Ji Hao estimated that this number could not be small!
Only a million could fit Ji Hao's expectation.
But what did Si Wen Ming say? Over a million human beings broke into the level of Divine Magi, and over sixty percent of them were controlled by the real stars?
"Among the remaining thirty percent, more than ten percent of them had their souls disintegrated because they couldn't withstand the refinement of the star power."
"Of the remaining twenty percent, more than ten percent have their bodies assimilated with the power of the stars, turning their bodies into cages that imprison their souls for all eternity, unable to transcend."
"There are still more than ten percent of them. The ones who have lost contact with them for some reason and are uncontactable make up fifteen percent."
"Not counting other losses, at the end of the day, the number of Supreme Magi among our humankind is less than a hundred, and the number of people who are still cultivating themselves in the starry void, trying to become true Supreme Magi … About three to five thousand, right?"
Ji Hao swallowed his saliva. Out of a million human beings, only a thousand were left. This loss was way too scary.
Those who managed to cultivate themselves to the level of Divine Magi and eventually activate the ninety-nine star-sealing magic formation to become Supreme Magi were all top-grade elites of the humankind. Among a million top-grade elites, less than a thousand died. This was truly a shocking loss.
Ji Hao remained silent. He didn't know that breaking into the level of Supreme Magi would bring such a great risk and trouble.
But thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable.
After all, humans had tiny bodies and fragile lives, yet they were trying to subdue a Great Desolate Star and use its power to achieve eternity. Such a huge risk and loss seemed to be acceptable.
Si Wen Ming shook his head, sighed, and said, "Abba is a hero, but in the history of the humankind, which one of our ancestors who broke into the level of Divine Magi wasn't a hero? Therefore, although this is a bit disrespectful, I still have to say that the hope of seeing my Abba again is too small. "
Ji Hao wanted to comfort Si Wen Ming, but from the highest sky, an enormous seal emerged, coiled in earth power!
The million-miles-squared Hou Tu divine seal showed up in the air.
