My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

"That's how it is in theory."

Lei Hong nodded, "But in practice, it's not that simple!"

"First of all, the Star Tower's assessment is extremely rigorous, and very few people can pass it."

"Secondly, even if one obtains the title of Immortal Venerable, challenging a Domain Lord is an extremely dangerous undertaking..."

"Win and you'll reach the pinnacle of life! Lose and you'll suffer serious injuries, or even death!"

"Over the years, many have challenged the domain lord, but few have succeeded."

"Like eight hundred years ago, before the outbreak of that Great Emperor War, when the Great Emperors were still active... There were 126 super star domains, of which more than 80 were ruled by 'Great Emperors'."

"These eighty-odd Great Emperors never stepped down after becoming Domain Lords... until eight hundred years ago, when the Great Emperors retired, their Domain Lord positions were either left vacant and obtained by other Immortal Venerables, or they were indirectly passed on to their 'representatives'."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Meng Chuan's eyes: "The Great Emperor's spokesperson... is also a Celestial Venerable?"

"That's right." Lei Hong nodded. "Only a Celestial Venerable is qualified to become the domain lord of a super star field—this is a rule set by the will of the Great Dao of the Universe, and no one can change it."

"Their representatives are mostly not invincible Immortal Emperors, but merely peak Immortal Emperors who cultivate ordinary laws, and their strength may be slightly inferior to mine."

"The reason these people were able to pass the Star Tower assessment and become Immortal Venerables is because they possessed Great Dao Emperor Weapons lent to them by the Great Emperor!"

At this point, he looked at Meng Chuan, a hint of envy in his eyes.

This person also possesses a Great Dao Emperor Weapon!

Moreover, it was clearly not the kind of loan the emperor was making temporarily!

Meng Chuan nodded in realization, then asked, "Fellow Daoist Lei Hong, have you ever participated in the Immortal Venerable assessment of the Star Tower?"

Lei Hong smiled wryly: "I participated. It was a few years ago... I didn't pass, I fell short by a little."

He spoke frankly, without any attempt to hide anything: "I cultivate the Law of Thunder, which is considered a superior law among the many elemental laws. I also possess a top-grade innate imperial weapon that is suitable for me, but I am still just one step away from the standard of an Immortal Venerable."

He looked at Meng Chuan, a hint of seriousness in his eyes: "But, Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan... you should be able to pass the test!"

"I?"

"Yes." Lei Hong nodded. "With your current strength, which is still a bit stronger than mine, you should be able to barely obtain the title of Immortal Venerable."

"Celestial Venerable is the highest honorary title for an Immortal Emperor!"

"As long as one passes the Star Tower's test, the will of the Great Dao of the Universe will immediately announce to the entire universe that a new Immortal Venerable has been born."

"At that time, your Taoist name and your title will spread to every corner of the universe, known to everyone!"

"Speaking of which, the last time a Celestial Venerable appeared was ten thousand years ago."

"Of course, with your current strength, even if you barely manage to obtain the title of Immortal Venerable, you are still no match for that Domain Lord of our Tianyan Star Domain."

Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow: "That domain lord is very strong?"

"Very strong!"

Lei Hong's tone was unwavering. "He was a peak Immortal Emperor who had followed the path of spatial laws and possessed two top-grade innate imperial weapons. Although we were both peak Immortal Emperors, he could easily defeat me."

"If you want to defeat him... even if you have a Great Dao Emperor Weapon, you'll probably need to break through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm at least."

Lei Hong paused here, then looked at Meng Chuan: "Once you defeat him and become the new domain lord, you will control all the resources of the entire Tianyan Star Domain."

"You should know that there are too many benefits to becoming the domain lord of a super star field."

Lei Hong held up one finger: "First, the spiritual energy concentration in the core area of ​​a super starfield is more than ten times that of the core area of ​​a large starfield. Cultivating in that environment will result in a much faster breakthrough!"

He then held up a second finger: "Secondly, the Super Star Domain controls a vast amount of cultivation resources—spirit stone mines, spiritual herb producing areas, entrances to secret realms, ancient ruins… Only the Domain Lord has the right to allocate these resources. Whatever you want, you can get it first."

He held up his third finger, lowering his voice slightly: "The third, and most crucial point—the lord of a super starfield has the power to mobilize the entire starfield's power. If you become the lord of the Tianyan Starfield, you can make all the forces under its command work for you!"

"If we compare a super star field to a secular dynasty, then the domain lord is the supreme emperor."

It must be said that what Lei Hong said really made Meng Chuan's heart flutter.

The spiritual energy concentration is more than ten times higher, cultivation resources are allocated preferentially, and the power of the entire star field is mobilized...

These resources are not only greatly beneficial to his cultivation, but more importantly, they allow him to access things at a higher level in this universe.

The lord of a super star field must possess more secrets about this universe.

Perhaps those secrets hold the clues to returning to the primordial world.

The resources controlled by the domain lord are too tempting!

"So...the current domain lord of the Tianyan Star Domain is an invincible Immortal Emperor, rather than a representative of the Great Emperor?" Meng Chuan asked.

Lei Hong nodded.

"So... with my current strength, I'm actually no weaker than some of the Great Emperor's representatives?" Meng Chuan asked again.

"Yes." Lei Hong nodded again, "But I don't recommend that you challenge the representatives of the emperors in other super star regions."

He paused, his tone becoming serious: "First, you might not be able to reliably defeat them, who wield Great Dao Emperor Weapons. Second, you'll indirectly offend the Great Emperors behind them!"

"Those emperors who designated a representative and were unwilling to relinquish a super star field often left behind a legacy that they valued highly in that star field."

"Though he is a transcendent emperor, he is still bound by worldly ties!"

"If you oust his representative and take the throne for yourself, it's one thing if he can't return, but if he does return—that's the return of the emperor! What will you use to withstand his wrath?"

As he spoke, Lei Hong's face was filled with apprehension.

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan nodded in agreement.

This is definitely not a good choice.

However, the position of Domain Lord did indeed tempt him!

It's not just about resources and power, but also about finding a way back to the primordial world!

She is still waiting for him.

"How about it, Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan? Would you like to give the Star Tower a try?"

Lei Hong was also curious whether the person in front of him could clear the Star Tower and obtain the title of "Immortal Venerable".

Meng Chuan put down his teacup and looked up: "I really want to give it a try."

Seeing that he agreed so readily and without hesitation, Lei Hong immediately stood up: "Since you want to give it a try, I'll personally see you off. And while I'm at it, I'll see if I'm fortunate enough to witness the birth of a 'Celestial Venerable'!"

The two of them left without hesitation!

Destination—the only Star Tower within the Tianyan Starfield.
