In the Star Secret Place, the night sky was dark and boundless.
Chen Zong's eyes flickered with light. Within his eyes, there seemed to be thousands of stars twinkling endlessly. It was so dense and so magnificent. Thousands of mysteries were circulating within his eyes without rest.
A hundred years of time had turned into a speck of light that wandered through the dark starry sky. Amidst the haziness, the half-asleep consciousness had seen many mysteries. The mysteries of the universe were deeply engraved in his heart, as if they had been branded.
His cultivation base was still complete. His Mixed Yuan Heart Force was still the same. There was no improvement, but Chen Zong knew that his strength had become stronger. His Single Hearted Sword Principle had greatly improved.
"Vaguely, I already know how to break through to the next realm. What I lack is an opportunity," Chen Zong thought.
Immediately, Chen Zong left the Star Secret Place. Countless mysteries lingered in his heart and filled his mind. They were like imprinted tracks that Chen Zong constantly comprehended and completely turned into his own. Even if he did not go into seclusion, it would not affect him.
How was the invasion of the Demon World?
Had they been defeated?
Or had they really been invaded?
In addition, he seemed to have spent many years in the Star Secret Place. Where was Yu Nianxin?
Had he come out of seclusion?
Thinking of this, Chen Zong immediately left the Star Secret Place and met the Star Sword Palace Master.
"Greetings, Palace Master." Chen Zong saluted the Star Sword Palace Master.
Whether it was status or the most important cultivation base and strength, the Star Sword Palace Master was superior to him.
"Little friend, did you learn a sword technique in the Secret Star Land?" The Star Sword Palace Master's eyes were shining with a strange light. He had a feeling that he wanted to see through Chen Zong.
"I did comprehend a sword principle," Chen Zong admitted directly.
"That is the supreme secret of our Star Sword Palace, the Prodigious Stellar Thousand Layers Sword Art." The Star Sword Palace Master said in a faint voice, "There are very few people in our Star Sword Palace who can master the Prodigious Stellar Thousand Layers Sword Art."
"It is my honor to be able to comprehend the Prodigious Astral Myriad Sword Art." Chen Zong replied immediately. Although he was not sure what the Palace Master of Star Sword Palace meant, Chen Zong felt that the Palace Master had some sort of plan or goal.
Chen Zong didn't know what the purpose was, but Chen Zong wouldn't be taken in because of that.
Generally speaking, comprehending someone else's supreme sword technique was like taking away someone else's legacy treasure. One would always feel guilty and embarrassed, as if one owed someone a favor.
There were big and small favors, but learning another person's supreme sword technique was not a small favor. Such a favor was not easy to return. It was a debt, a very big debt.
Chen Zong knew this very well. Of course, he wouldn't agree to it so stupidly.
At the end of the day, there were two reasons why he could comprehend it. Firstly, it was directly related to the Star Secret Land. Secondly, it was because his swordsmanship foundation was extremely solid and his comprehension was extremely high. Coupled with the assistance of the Heart Sutra.
Without any of these, it was impossible to comprehend the complete Prodigious Astral Myriad Sword Art.
In other words, Chen Zong had comprehended and mastered it with his own ability, not with someone else's charity. Of course, this was still inseparable from the Star Secret Land, and it could be said that it was closely related to it. Chen Zong would not deny it, and he was also grateful for it. However, it was impossible for him to restrict himself because of this.
The Palace Master of Star Sword Palace couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. This young man's answer didn't follow the usual routine.
He originally thought that the other party was young, a few hundred years old. Compared to himself, the other party was indeed very young. He planned to use words to scare the other party before making a plan. He didn't expect the other party to be so natural, as if it was a matter of course for him to comprehend it with his own ability.
Suddenly, the Palace Master of Star Sword Palace smiled and said again, "Little friend, the Prodigious Astral Myriad Sword Art is the supreme secret of Star Sword Palace. In the past, there were people outside of Star Sword Palace who entered the Star Secret Land to comprehend it, but at most, they could only comprehend some of the mysteries of the Prodigious Astral Myriad Sword Art. It's not surprising."
"I'm not telling you this to get back the Prodigious Astral Myriad Sword Art. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it," the Palace Master of Star Sword Palace said honestly.
This was also the truth. Swordsmanship wasn't equal to cultivation. Once one learned it, it was an instinct of the body. One's cultivation could be abolished, but how could one's swordsmanship be abolished?
Of course, it was not impossible. If the person was crippled or killed, then the swordsmanship would naturally be gone and would not be able to be used. However, it would directly cripple everything and not just a swordsmanship.
"Palace Master, please speak." Chen Zong knew that the Palace Master of Star Sword Palace must have a purpose.
"Little friend.
Not only have you learned the Prodigious Astral Myriad Layers Sword Technique, you have also entered the Phaseless Astral Realm for a hundred years. I would like to invite you to join the Stellar Sword Palace as an elder of the Stellar Sword Palace. "The Stellar Sword Palace's Palace Master said seriously.
"Thank you for your kindness, Palace Master. However, I'm not really a rogue cultivator, so I'm not suitable," Chen Zong replied.
He was a member of Taihao Mountain. Even if he left the outer universe and came to the inner universe, it didn't change.
"In that case, you can be an honorary elder," the Palace Master of Star Sword Palace said.
An honorary elder was different from an elder. It didn't mean that one was completely a member of Star Sword Palace, but it was still considered as at least related.
People from other forces could also be honorary elders in other forces.
Chen Zong pondered for a while and agreed.
He had also benefited greatly from the Secret Star Land, so he was worthy of being an honorary elder of Star Sword Palace. In this way, the Palace Master would feel better. After all, the one who learned the Prodigious Astral Myriad Sword Art was one of his own.
"Palace Master, have I stayed in the Secret Star Land for a hundred years?" Chen Zong asked, "Have the gods and demons been defeated?"
"No." The Palace Master of Star Sword Palace frowned. Obviously, the things that happened in the past hundred years weren't good. On the contrary, it was terrible.
As the Palace Master of Star Sword Palace explained in detail, Chen Zong finally knew everything that had happened in the Secret Star Land for a hundred years.
A hundred years ago, he was the first to discover the invasion of the Celestial and Demon Realm. It was also the beginning of the fall of the Nine Flames Supreme Sage.
After that, the Valley Master of Non-Return Sword Valley took action, followed by the Sword Master of Star Sword Palace. However, they didn't break the space-time gate of the Celestial and Demon Realm, nor could they stop the invasion.
This time, the Celestial and Demon Realm was determined to invade the Ancient Mystic World and were not afraid of death.
In the past hundred years, the invading Celestial and Demon Realm experts and the Ancient Mystic World's experts had fought dozens of times. Each battle didn't necessarily determine life and death, but there were always casualties.
In the past hundred years, the Celestial and Demon Realm had lost more than ten Righteous God Realm experts and two Spirit God Realm experts. None of the Divine Master Realm experts died, but one Divine Master was seriously injured and retreated to the Celestial and Demon Realm.
As for the Ancient Mystic World …
There were seven Little Saint Realm experts who died, and three Great Saint Realm experts including the Nine Flames Supreme Sage. As for the Divine Ancestor Realm experts, there were no casualties, but two of them were injured and were recuperating in seclusion.
The area around Green Sword City was now completely occupied by the Celestial and Demon Realm experts. The Celestial and Demon Realm experts had also set up the Great Celestial and Demon Realm Formation, turning it into an impenetrable fortress.
The hundred-year war had also become a tug of war.
The experts of the Ancient Mystic World were not to be trifled with. They had a natural advantage and besieged the Celestial and Demon Realm experts in the area of Green Sword City, preventing them from expanding. It was also not easy for the Celestial and Demon Realm experts to spread their faith.
Another important point was that the Celestial and Demon Realm experts couldn't stay in the Ancient Mystic World for too long because the Ancient Mystic World was not the Celestial and Demon Realm. Unless they could develop faith and obtain the power of faith, they could truly gain a foothold in the Ancient Mystic World.
Without the power of faith, they couldn't stay in the Ancient Mystic World for too long with their strength. They could force themselves to stay in the Ancient Mystic World, but the longer they stayed, the greater the impact.
Because of this, when the Celestial and Demon Realm experts weakened, the power of the Great Celestial and Demon Realm experts also weakened. Just half a year ago, the Four Great Swordmasters of the Myriad Sword Ancient Realm, Great Saint Realm, and Small Saint Realm experts all joined forces and finally broke the Great Celestial and Demon Realm experts and repelled the Celestial and Demon Realm experts.
Without the support of the power of faith, the strength of the Celestial and Demon Realm experts weakened after a hundred years. They couldn't hold on any longer and were forced to retreat into the Celestial and Demon Realm.
Once the Celestial and Demon Realm experts returned to the Celestial and Demon Realm, their weakened strength would recover.
However, the Celestial and Demon Realm experts couldn't be destroyed. Even the Four Great Swordmasters couldn't do anything to the Celestial and Demon Realm experts. After some research, they found that the Celestial and Demon Realm experts contained a supreme power that surpassed the Divine Ancestor Realm.
"A power that surpassed the Divine Ancestor Realm …" Chen Zong couldn't help but frown slightly as he pondered.
Through the first Taihao, Chen Zong had learned more. There was a level above the Divine Ancestor Realm where one's strength began to transform. It was the power of the first Taihao.
After comprehending the second True Essence, one's strength would complete the transformation and break through to the Demigod Realm. After comprehending the third True Essence, there was hope to see through the last mystery and become a True God.
Then, the power of the Celestial and Demon Realm experts was tyrannical. It might be the power of the Demigod Realm. As for the True God Realm, Chen Zong thought it was impossible. According to the first Taihao, the path to God was broken.
The path to God was broken, which meant that one couldn't become a True God.
As for why the path to God was broken?
It was very simple. It was because of a great battle a long, long time ago. In that battle, the strongest experts on both sides broke the Heavenly Path of the core universe and made it incomplete. The Heavenly Path was incomplete, and the path to God was broken. Because of this, the Sky Tower was also affected and left a sword mark. Its power was also constantly lost with the passage of time.
The path to God was broken!
Then, the power of the True God Realm should no longer exist.
However, how could there be a Demigod Realm expert in the Celestial and Demon Realm?
Chen Zong suddenly felt that the Celestial and Demon Realm was even more mysterious.
Fortunately, the Celestial and Demon Realm was repelled, but unfortunately, the Celestial and Demon Realm still existed. This meant that the Celestial and Demon Realm would invade again, and the next invasion would be much stronger.
