Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 255 Qinghua Palace, the impending attack
Time passed, and three years passed in the blink of an eye after the Heavenly Court was established.

Inside the inner domain of the spaceship, in a secret chamber containing a cyan token.

The Blood God Child's incarnation stood in mid-air above the vast ocean world, with endless crimson light spreading out, instantly covering every corner of the entire independent space.

The next moment, Lu Jin was overjoyed and teleported to a distance of more than 20 light-years in front of him.

As divine power surged, the vast seawater below churned and broke apart, and a majestic, pale blue palace covered with cloud-shaped reliefs rapidly rose up.

With the infusion of divine power, Lu Jin quickly completed the recognition of the palace as its master. Subsequently, the palace doors opened, and hundreds of supreme treasures, as well as a large amount of refining materials and various precious resources, flew out.

After the examination, Lu Jin's face was full of smiles.

Compared to the entire cosmic ocean, the spaceship is not very large, only a few hundred million light-years long, and has no natural wormholes inside.

The previously obtained spaceship map is a panoramic map. After calculating the direction and distance based on the map, one can directly reach the desired area by traversing space using the Kunlun Mirror. At most, there are some errors in the map and calculation.

Therefore, after exploring the many black artifact spaces within the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, Lu Jin used the Kunlun Mirror to teleport the Blood God Child's avatar to the inner domain of the Cosmic Ship.

Within the inner domain of the spaceship, if a spatial chamber appears, it is rarely the lowest-level black token spatial chamber; it is mostly a higher-level cyan token spatial chamber.

As for the highest-level silver token space chamber, it can only be found by going deep into the core area.

The black and cyan token-filled secret chambers differ significantly in terms of the probability of finding treasure and the quality of the treasure.

Perhaps because the cyan token space chamber is located deeper into the inner region, there are fewer cyan tokens than black tokens, and the probability of finding treasures left behind by powerful individuals in the cyan token space chamber is also lower.

However, while the probability of finding treasure is even lower, if treasure does appear, its value is usually far greater than that of the treasure in the Black Token Space Chamber.

Just like the treasures in this vast ocean world right now, their value has once again broken the record since the start of the treasure hunt.

According to the feedback after the palace was recognized as its owner, this majestic, light blue palace covered with cloud-shaped reliefs is named 'Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace' and is ranked as a top-grade palace treasure.

Among the hundreds of treasures left behind in the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace, there are two peak palace treasures, four peak soul treasures, six peak domain treasures, and more than forty peak treasure weapons and armor.

Aside from the fact that it still lacks the most powerful and supreme treasures, this treasure is of extremely high quality.

Then, Lu Jin looked at one of the supreme treasures, which was shaped like a light blue stone tablet.

Although it is a supreme treasure, this item has no other function besides recording some information; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a very sturdy brick.

"A top-tier treasure-level treasure-refining master? No wonder the treasures he left behind are so abundant."

After briefly reviewing the information within the Peak to Gemstone Stele, Lu Jin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

According to the information recorded inside, this treasure was left behind by a top-tier tenth-order True God named 'Palace Master Weiyun' before he entered the cycle of reincarnation in an unknown era.

Furthermore, this 'Palace Master Weiyun' is not only a top-tier True God of the tenth rank, but also a master treasure refiner at the peak of the treasure level before venturing into reincarnation at the end of the first reincarnation era.

Moreover, he is not just an ordinary top-tier treasure-refining master; he can also refine top-tier treasures of the domain, soul, and palace categories.

Inside this pinnacle gemstone lies her secret techniques and treasure-refining legacy.

'The 9th True God's Legacy.'

As Lu Jin ran his fingers over the stone tablet, he thought to himself.

During his three-year treasure hunt aboard the spaceship, he unearthed quite a few treasures.

Among these treasures, many have no recorded information and are simply treasures.

There are also those who, although their information is recorded, are only at the level of the Lord of the Universe.

However, he still received as many as nine complete inheritances at the True God level.

Furthermore, all nine of these True God inheritances are from ninth or tenth-order True Gods; there are no inheritances below the ninth order.

Perhaps he was a poor man with insufficient strength, too embarrassed to leave behind a legacy?
Shaking his head, Lu Jin stored the treasure left behind by the Palace Master of Weiyun into his external storage space, and his Blood God Child avatar continued his treasure hunt.

Meanwhile, in the Lingxiao Palace of the Great Luo Heaven, a high-level meeting of the Heavenly Court is underway.

The twelve attendees included Lu Jin, the Lord of the Ninth Palace of Heaven, Xu Xin, the President of Yanhuang Company, and a woman in a silver dress.

This meeting had nothing to do with Zi Nishang and Hong'er, so the eight of them did not participate.

Lu Jin looked at the woman in the silver dress and said, "Yin Yue."

"Emperor of Heaven."

Previously, Lu Jin had cultivated a universe-level heavenly general using the divine spark of the laws of time and space. The Lord of Silver Moon stepped forward and bowed.

"The Heavenly Court has established the Qinghua Palace. You will step down from the Heavenly Generals and become the Palace Master of the Qinghua Palace, specializing in cultivating geniuses. The missing personnel will be drawn from the Xuanhuang Heaven and the Heavenly God Palace."

All geniuses under the Heavenly Court whose life level has not yet reached Immortality are under the jurisdiction of the Qinghua Palace. Only after reaching Immortality can they choose to become members of other palaces.

After saying that, Lu Jin waved his hand, and a pure golden perfect gene bloodline source crystal fell in front of the Lord of Silver Moon.

The heads of the various palaces in the Heavenly Court represent the face of the Heavenly Court; their strength cannot be weak.

The difference in strength between a hundredfold life gene and the ultimate secret technique of a nascent universe master, compared to perfect genes and the strongest talent secret technique, is enormous.

Immediately afterwards, a top-grade palace artifact appeared in his hand, which then traversed space and transformed into a magnificent palace complex of white jade in a certain place in the Great Luo Heaven, with the three characters "Qinghua Palace" hanging in the central hall.

Upon receiving the Perfect Gene Bloodline Origin Crystal, the Lord of Silver Moon bowed and said, "I obey the Heavenly Emperor's decree!"

Lu Jin then looked at the other hall masters and said, "All hall masters must cooperate."

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

Zi Zhenfeng and the other nine responded in unison.

"Mingyue, how is Yanhuang Company doing?"

Lu Jin asked Xu Xin.

"Heavenly Emperor, after three years of expansion, the Yanhuang Company has spread to all the star system capitals within the clan's territory."

Xu Xin said.

"Hmm, not bad! But simply expanding the scale is not enough; the defensive forces also need to be sufficient."

Going forward, ensure that each star region branch sends one King to oversee it, each star domain branch sends one Immortal to oversee it, and each star system branch sends at least one Domain Lord.

If manpower is lacking, it can be drawn from the Temple of Heaven. Lord of Light, the Temple of Heaven should cooperate well. If the Temple of Heaven is short-handed, it can continue to train more people.

As he spoke, Lu Jin looked at Zi Zhenfeng.

The so-called continued cultivation means opening up the lower-level law godhood repository to create immortal gods.

Although those cultivated from lower-level divine beings are all blank-slate immortals, the Heavenly Court has no shortage of F-grade immortal divine weapons, and the secret techniques corresponding to the immortal army lords are only mediocre, so this shortcoming is not difficult to make up for.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

Xu Xin and Zi Zhenfeng nodded.

Lu Jin added, "The three-year period has passed. The Heavenly Temple can begin to crack down on all those names in the Primordial Universe that are disrespectful to the Heavenly Court and refuse to change their names."

"Those who are not the rulers of the universe, the Celestial Temple can handle it themselves; those who are the rulers of the universe, I will handle."

The seven members of Hong'er's universe-level mother nest could not produce spacetime law godheads, so the corpse of the universe-level god was still quite important to the Heavenly Court.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

Zi Zhenfeng accepted the order and then said, "Heavenly Emperor, there are still four Universe Lords in the Primordial Universe who have ignored the warnings of my Heavenly Court. One is the Lord of Thorn Heaven of the Northern Frontier Alliance, a third-tier Universe Lord."

Secondly, he is the Lord of Breaking the Heavens of the powerful Miserly Clan, possessing the strength of a second-tier Universe Lord.

The third is Fengtian God Lord of the Ancestral God Sect, with the strength of a fourth-order Universe Lord, and possesses the secret technique of creating clones.

Fourthly, there is the Void Gold Lord of the Giant Axe Arena. While his title is not disrespectful, the Chaos Stele he erected in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe is called the Heavenly Ruins Chaos Stele.

Needless to say, 'Piercing the Sky' and 'Breaking the Sky' are definitely ways to invite death.

The character '烽' means beacon fire. Regardless of what the God of Beacon Heaven was thinking at the time, the name '烽天' (Fengtian) has a strong connotation of wanting to set the Heavenly Court on fire.

As for the words 'Heavenly Ruins,' that's even worse. Doesn't that imply that the Heavenly Court is about to be reduced to ruins? That's intolerable!
After a moment's thought, Lu Jin said, "Inform the Lord of Void Gold and ask him to change the name of the Chaos Stele."

Inform the Ancestral Gods that our Heavenly Court has a past relationship with the Lord of Dawn.

The Heavenly Court has taken on the vengeance of the Lord of Dawn, and the Lord of the Crystal Clan Holy Spirit is proof of that.

"If he does not change his name, the Heavenly Court will surely kill him the moment he steps outside the Ancestral Mystic Realm."

Lu Jin did not mention the Lord of Thorns of the Northern Frontier Alliance or the Lord of Breaking the Sky of the Miserly Clan.

Regardless of whether either party was aware of the Heavenly Court's public announcement, he simply assumed they refused to change their names.

Since they refuse to change their names, let them become divine beings of laws, adding two more cosmic lords to the Heavenly Court.

As for the Ancestral God Sect's Fengtian God Lord, both the Water Qilin clone and the Time Dragon clone have received favors from the Ancestral God Sect, so it is necessary to give this Fengtian God Lord another chance.

Zi Zhenfeng asked, "What if the Lord of Void Gold is unwilling?"

Lu Jin waved his hand and said, "That would be tantamount to rejecting the friendship of the Heavenly Court. And those who reject the friendship of the Heavenly Court, regardless of whether they are human or not, are all enemies of the Heavenly Court."

Of course, we're both human, so please be more tactful in your speech.

The Lord of False Gold is no saint either. In the original story, the representative of the Giant Axe Arena in seizing Earth's interests is this old Deng.

If this old man doesn't give us face and refuses the Heavenly Court's friendship, then he might as well die. The Heavenly Court isn't without powerful figures who haven't yet shown themselves to the outside world.

It's like the three Heavenly Kings of the East, South, and West, who are still in the accumulation stage.

He later became a true god by using the divine power of laws. If he encountered the Void Gold Elder in the Cosmic Sea, he could use a secret method to change his divine body and then kill him. How would the Giant Axe Arena know that the Heavenly Court was behind this?
As for why the Hall of Immortal Transformation was ineffective?

Even the Lord of the Universe sometimes cannot resurrect fallen lives! Special circumstances are always inevitable.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

Zi Zhenfeng responded and sent the locations of the Lord of Piercing the Sky and the Lord of Breaking the Sky, which the Heavenly God Palace had discovered, to Lu Jin's virtual universe account email address.

Subsequently, through the external storage space, Lu Jin retrieved the treasure left behind by the Palace Master of Weiyun Palace.

Aside from the supreme treasure 'Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace' reserved for his own use, and the stone tablet that records the secret techniques and treasure-refining inheritance,

The remaining treasures, materials, and various resources all fell before the Lord of the Spirit Treasure Hall, Lord Cangwu.

After three years of cheating-style treasure hunting, Lu Jin, Zi Ni Chang, Hong Er, and the other four have now acquired more than enough ordinary peak palace treasures.

He really wouldn't need a palace treasure that isn't top-tier.

Lu Jin said, "Cangwu, store these treasures in the Lingbao Hall's treasury."

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

The Lord of Cangwu bowed and put away the many treasures.

Over the past three years, his great Heavenly Emperor has been storing batches of treasures in the Lingbao Palace treasury from time to time, and he has become accustomed to it.

After the Heavenly Court's high-level meeting ended, Lu Jin was about to call Hong'er and the others to hunt down the Thorn Lord of the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Breaker Lord of the Qianlao Clan when Fatty's voice suddenly rang out: "Master, Luo Feng is looking for you."

Earth, inside a restaurant.

While eating hotpot, Lu Jin asked Luo Feng, who was sitting opposite him, "Are you planning to go to the outer battlefield for training?"

"I've been focusing on training and haven't had much real combat experience, so I feel like my speed has slowed down."

Luo Feng nodded and said.

"They say a fine sword is forged through tempering, so it would be good for me to practice on the battlefields beyond our borders."

After a pause, Lu Jin asked again, "Do you have any treasures that can disguise your life level?"

In the outer battlefield, it's normal for immortals to kill each other; apart from the other's family and friends, no one will seek revenge.

But if you were a Realm Lord, and your strength rivaled that of a Marquis, then the Kings of the opposing faction would be like mad dogs.

"Yes, Master Chaos also told me about this and gave me a treasure, wings, to conceal my life force."

Luo Feng nodded.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

Supreme treasure wings?

That's most likely a part of the wings that killed Wu in the original work.

Suddenly, Lu Jin's expression hardened, and he carefully examined Luo Feng.

"Uh~, what?"

Feeling a little uneasy under Lu Jin's gaze, Luo Feng asked with a puzzled expression.

"Where did you get your triple life force gene, kid?"

Lu Jin stroked his chin and asked.

Luo Feng's life force was several times stronger than that of an ordinary ninth-level peak Realm Lord. I hadn't noticed it before, but I realized it now.

The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual has come knocking?
Luo Feng said with a smile, "It was also a matter of luck. A couple of years ago, when I accompanied Xu Xin to Mount Everest to see the scenery..."

I was lucky enough to find a broken, strange metal plate with a secret manual inscribed on it, containing the words "Nine Tribulations," which could increase life gene multiplier by 3.

This 3 times is not an addition, but a multiplication, just like my Golden Horned Beast clone, after being trained, has its life genes increased by 30 times.

This saved me a lot of money, and I'll be less likely to suffer any more cuts from the Spirit Treasure Hall when I upgrade my life genes in the future.

Unlike the original novel, in the early part of the novel, Luo Feng regarded the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual as a heaven-defying opportunity.

But now, while this thing is good, it can't really be described as defying the heavens.

It's just life genes, right? No, in my nephew Jin's Heavenly Court, they even sell treasures that can enhance life genes. It's nothing special.

Moreover, all he obtained was a fragment.

In Luo Feng's view, the universe is so vast that the difficulty of collecting the complete Nine Tribulations Manual is unimaginable, and there is basically no hope.

'Good luck?'

Lu Jin pursed his lips.

This wasn't just good luck; it was because a powerful figure secretly offered assistance.
