Cultivation begins with separation.

Three days passed quickly.

At this time, Yi Dong had given permission for the Longquan Sword to be used to suppress the destiny after the God War.

In a corner of Purple Mountain, the Seven Star Sword found the Dragon Spring Sword, its blade radiating dazzling starlight, and its sword spirit proclaimed:
"Longquan, in the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm, my abilities may not be as good as yours, but in this vast starry sky, when it comes to the convenience of suppressing destiny, even the Xuanyuan Sword may not be as good as me, right?"
"Suppressing destiny, how could you exclude me?"

Longquan sword didn't take it seriously.
"You may indeed be better than me at consolidating and increasing the fortunes of humanity."

However, I also have a general understanding of the nature of your core supernatural power.

You can refine stars and condense star destinies similar to innate energy. You can then transfer these star destinies to living beings, creating beings with so-called "celestial star destiny," allowing them to draw upon the power of the stars to a certain extent.

For a being to possess the qualities of an emperor, it would likely require a destiny associated with imperial stars such as Ziwei, Zhongtian, or Tianxiang.

Let's not even talk about whether you have condensed a destiny with imperial potential, such as the Ziwei destiny.

Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to find the right person.

Among the countless humans in this vast starry sky, there are probably no more than 100,000 people who can accommodate the destiny of an Emperor Star. In my opinion, such people are basically concentrated in the core area. Moreover, these people are probably pre-selected by major sects and religions even before they are born, so you can't find them even if you want to.

If you can create someone with the destiny of an emperor, I won't even argue with you without you having to tell me.

But can you find it?

The starlight on the Seven Star Sword's blade became bright and dazzling, as if the sword spirit had been angered. It took a while for it to calm down.
“What you say makes sense. Currently, my star-shaped destiny is indeed not as favorable as your dragon energy. You are quite lucky to have found someone who is compatible with the human dragon energy. However, what will happen when we go to the core area?”

"You still don't understand. After the human dragon energy is unleashed, not everyone will become like a dragon, but throughout the entire empire, the talents and bloodlines of the human race will gradually develop in the direction of adapting to the human dragon energy."

Xuanyuan and the others saw this, which is why they didn't compete with me. They knew they couldn't win, and you yourself understand that too. However, you still harbor wishful thinking. Do you really believe that with me suppressing the empire's fortune, there will be a day when it declines or even changes dynasties?

You should understand that neither of us are ordinary True Spirit Longswords. We can both transform the power of the void, possessing limitless energy. Our sword bodies are, to some extent, even more resilient than our predecessors, the Undying True Spirits. With my abilities, unless it's a treasure of destiny born from that river of human destiny that spans the starry sky and represents all humanity in this vast universe, I don't believe any treasure can surpass us in suppressing destiny."

The Seven Star Sword's light receded.
"Alright, I was just joking. After the God War, the Interstellar Empire was established. Since it was you who suppressed the nation's fate, the empire is unlikely to decline. However, nothing is absolute, so what if something does?"

"Did you hear something from Zhanlu and Chengying?"
Fine, even if they foresee a bad future, I will change that future.

Since you put it that way.

If you can find a suitable person to infuse the imperial star destiny into, and if the empire I've suppressed declines, then it's not impossible for you to take its place.

Alright, as you know, our competitors here are two other types of Holy Body puppets.

In particular, the supernatural powers and sacred abilities of the causal puppets have been greatly enhanced in this vast starry sky.

If one were in the external void, how could one, at the Bodhisattva level, possibly rely on the power of past Dharma bodies and be guided by past Buddha treasures?

After the empire is established, the causal puppets will be the greatest threat. If we are not careful, the fate of the nation may fall into the hands of those puppets, turning the empire into a Buddhist kingdom under their control.

"Alas, it's all because when we entered this calamity, we scattered our forces to intercept a large number of Great Awakening Puppets, which made it impossible to stop the Pagoda of Causal Puppets."

We thought the supremely intelligent Great Awakening Puppet was our real competitor, but unexpectedly, the Karma Puppet, which showed little in terms of combat power and immortality, was even more of a threat than the Great Awakening Puppet.

No wonder this puppet is the best of the three sacred bodies.

The True Spirit Longsword and the two types of Holy Body Puppets already knew of the existence of the calamity before they entered it.

After all, unlike Yi Dong, they have some understanding of the situation around the Frozen Continent. It would be strange if they were completely unaware of the Holy Spirit Sect's centuries-long plans on the island not far from the Frozen Continent.

Especially the Great Awakening Puppet, which is good at predicting the future, probably already knew when that teleportation magic would take effect. If it weren't for the True Spirit Sword intercepting it, and especially the Xuanyuan Sword blurring the interference time, causing the Great Awakening Puppet's time perception to be confused for a short time, how could only a little over a thousand Great Awakening Puppets have been teleported in with Yi Dong?

The fact that humans and demons were able to dominate this void region is also related to this calamity.

While this calamity and danger present great opportunities, they also offer considerable chances for advancement.

Among them are even the True Spirit Longsword and the opportunities needed for the transformation of two sacred bodies.

The True Spirit Longswords showed no hostility towards the two types of Holy Body Puppets. In fact, their interception of the two Holy Body Puppets was also for Yi Dong's sake.

The True Spirit Sword knew that Yi Dong did not truly trust the True Spirit Sword, the Holy Body Puppet, or the Primordial Purple Apricot. In fact, Yi Dong even intended for them to restrain each other.

The True Spirit Swords all share the same thought: since a relationship of restraint is needed, it is natural that the stronger their side is, the better.

That's why, during the teleportation, they did their utmost to intercept the two types of Sacred Body Puppets without attracting Yi Dong's attention. If they and Yi Dong were to enter this calamity and obtain an opportunity, they might be able to suppress the two types of Sacred Body Puppets and the Primordial Purple Apricot indefinitely.

Unfortunately, the Holy Body Puppet was eventually allowed to enter.

This calamity possesses both destructive and creative power; the cycle of destruction and creation simulates a calamity precept comparable to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The True Spirit Swords don't need to comprehend any Calamity Commandments here, but they can use the power of Calamity to destroy and create, thus reshaping their innate foundation.

If an ordinary person were to reshape their innate constitution, that wouldn't be a problem.

If a fourth-level cultivator wants to reshape their innate nature and return to their original state, it is simply impossible unless they possess a physique similar to Mu Mu's divine primordial energy.

The True Spirit Longsword is essentially formed from a small portion of the True Spirit's remains, making it far more powerful than any low-level cultivator. The conditions for reshaping one's innate nature are so stringent that there are probably only a handful in the world.

But here, they can do just that.

If they can rebuild their foundation, they will most likely be able to evolve it to the level of the original Undying True Spirit. In fact, their current supernatural powers will directly become comparable to those of the original Undying True Spirit. At that time, these thirteen True Spirit swords will probably truly be eternally indestructible.

Of course, if the True Spirit Sword thought this way, the two kinds of Holy Body Puppets were probably the same.

The holy bodies of both types of holy body puppets are also incomplete, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it is virtually impossible for them to evolve into true holy bodies.

Yi Dong was weak and unaware of the true changes that occurred after the two types of Sacred Body puppets entered the Calamity, but the True Spirit Longswords would not be mistaken.

After entering the calamity, the causal puppet can not only receive supernatural powers from the void, but also receive memories of past lives. In other words, the causal puppet is slowly becoming a true "person".

The Great Awakening Puppets don't have any memories of their past lives, but their thinking is becoming increasingly active. Their creative and innovative abilities have undergone tremendous changes, and even their emotions and desires are becoming stronger. Clearly, they are also showing a tendency to "start over".

In the years since the beginning of the Calamity, both the True Spirit Longsword and the Holy Body Puppet have made great progress.

On the contrary, Yi Dong only achieved a slightly more complete Dao foundation from beginning to end, and his gains were meager.

Of course, it wasn't that the True Spirit Longsword and the Holy Body Puppet didn't want to help Yi Dong; it was simply that Yi Dong himself was too wary.

For example, with the "Devil's Codex," if Yi Dong were to add his own techniques and use the help of many demon disciples to experiment and make mistakes, the progress of his techniques would probably be rapid, and his innate divine power would at least become comparable to that of the Primordial Purple Apricot.

Unfortunately, Yi Dong did not reveal any of his own innate cultivation technique.

As for reshaping one's innate constitution, Yi Dong probably has no interest in that either.

The True Spirit Sword also realized that Yi Dong's current strength was due to his supernatural abilities and his Abyss Dao Foundation.

If Yi Dong were to rebuild his foundation, and in the unlikely event that he created a spirit body incompatible with his soul's innate talent, giving birth to a spirit body with innate talent that could replace his original divine power, things might not be as good as they are now.

As for the Abyss Dao Foundation, it is virtually impossible to reproduce.

If suppressing spatial fragments were so easy, multiple magical space inheritances would have been perfected long ago in modern times.

Yi Dong was able to suppress tens of thousands of spatial fragments because the Yellow Spring Karmic Fire burned him from body to soul, and he also possessed the Red Lotus Karmic Fire supernatural power.

Having been tempered by the Yellow Springs' Karmic Fire, Yi Dong, though not possessing the Precious Lotus Holy Body, likely has some of its abilities.

The Holy Lotus Body is capable of manifesting the Yellow Springs World to destroy it. If the body were not strong, it would probably have died long ago under the pressure of the Yellow Springs World's power.

With some of the power of the Precious Lotus Holy Body, suppressing tens of thousands of spatial fragments would not be a problem.

If Yi Dong were to reshape his innate nature, unless he possessed a true spiritual foundation, he might not be as good as he is now.

Because it is highly unlikely that Yi Dong would allow the Yellow Springs Fire to burn him again.

Even if one were to encounter the Yellow Springs Karmic Fire, such as the Precious Lotus Puppet, it is highly unlikely that the Yellow Springs Karmic Fire would burn out even a fraction of the Precious Lotus Sacred Body's power.

After receiving a reply from the Dragon Spring Sword, the Seven Star Sword ceased all communication with it.

Through the power of humanity, the Dragon Spring Sword saw a demon disciple in the Demon Square of the Golden Glow Galaxy and thought to itself:

"I hope this person will live up to my expectations."
