Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7918

Chapter 7834: The Imperial Star Palace!

“We… I heard that only the imperial palaces of third-level star systems have them, but this place has one too. Does it give martial soldiers a chance to cultivate?” Sen Xia’an’s beautiful eyes widened.

“No, you’ll find out when the time comes.” A martial soldier beside her said with a smile.

“Brothers and sisters, what exactly is this Imperial Star Palace? What’s so special about the Starlight Hall we’re going to?” Li Tianming looked to his side and asked politely.

“The Imperial Star Palace is actually something above the Ancient Star Palace.” Cang Mishuo said calmly from the side.

“There’s actually another kind of Star Palace above the Ancient Star Palace? Wouldn’t that be even stronger and bigger?” Li Tianming was slightly surprised.

“Of course, and relatively speaking, the threshold for using a Star Palace to cultivate at the Great Wall of the Corona Borealis should be lower than in other places.” Qin Huaishan said with a smile.

“What’s the reason for that?” Li Tianming asked with a puzzled look.

“Because the Great Wall of Corona Borealis is famous for its many Star Palaces!” Chi Wan said with a burning gaze and a hint of pride. “Here, countless predecessors have sacrificed themselves for their descendants, leaving behind a large number of precious Star Palaces for the Great Wall of Corona Borealis!”

“Sister Wan, why do you say that? Does leaving behind a Star Palace require sacrifice? To be honest, I didn’t know much about Star Palaces before. I only knew they could be used for cultivation. Please enlighten me,” Li Tianming said, cupping his hands.

Before this, he only knew that the Star Palaces of the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect were a reward from the Great Wall of Corona Borealis, and he really knew almost nothing about them.

“Star Palaces themselves come from those powerful individuals. They are the product of those powerful individuals choosing to sacrifice themselves before their passing. At least, only those above the Great Ruins Realm can leave behind such a treasure!” Chi Wan said slowly, her eyes filled with reverence.

Above the Great Ruins Realm!

Only those who are qualified to leave behind Star Palaces!

Li Tianming was shocked upon hearing this.

It’s no wonder that the people of the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect basically don’t know the origin of the Star Palace, after all, their strength is still quite far from that of those above the Great Ruins Realm.

“The Great Ruins Light-Year Avenue corresponds to the Star Palace! And those powerful beings who are hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of light-years away, before their passing, will extract their creations and leave them to their descendants. This is the origin of the Star Palace.” Qin Huaishan also said somewhat solemnly from the side.

“I see. In other words, it’s something similar to the Primordial Great Dao, a kind of treasure left behind by our predecessors? However, the Star Palace is not a one-time use item, and its effects are much greater.” Li Tianming said in surprise.

“The principle is similar, but the Primordial God of the Universe and the Star Palace on the Great Ruins are far different.” Chi Wan nodded.

“I understand.” Li Tianming nodded, then asked, “Since the Star Palaces were left behind by powerful beings from the Great Ruins, how are Ancient Star Palaces and even the so-called Imperial Star Palaces distinguished?”

“That’s easy to distinguish; almost one Star Palace corresponds to one realm. If the Star Palace Master had a body of a Cosmic God spanning hundreds of light-years in life, what they left behind after death would be an ordinary Star Palace. If the Star Palace Master had a body of a Cosmic God spanning thousands of light-years in life, what they left behind would be an Ancient Star Palace, and so on. A body spanning tens of thousands of light-years corresponds to an Imperial Star Palace,” Chi Wan patiently explained.

“I’m truly sorry. Before this, I really didn’t know so much, and I didn’t even know that the resources I used during cultivation were all left behind by our predecessors after their self-sacrifice,” Li Tianming said somewhat ashamed.

Although Wei Sheng Mo Ran had already entered that realm, she hadn’t ‘sacrificed,’ so her cultivation path was naturally different from the Star Palaces Li Tianming had seen.

“That’s normal. In the Great Wall of the Corona Borealis, these are just common knowledge, but in many places they are not popularized at all. They simply don’t understand the significance of Star Palaces to us,” Qin Huaishan said slowly.

“I have another question that I can’t figure out: how did they manage to make these star palaces so enormous, even larger than the bodies of these powerful beings themselves?” Li Tianming asked again.

“That’s because after these powerful beings decide to sacrifice themselves and detach themselves from their own creation, their physical power tends to return to the universe, causing it to dissipate. They use special methods to seal their own creation and prevent this dissipation, causing their bodies to expand, thus forming star palaces larger than their own bodies,” Chi Wan explained, tucking a strand of her red hair behind her ear. “Powerful beings with a range of hundreds of light-years can still control the size of their star palaces because their strength isn’t quite at that level. They can even compress their star palaces to one light-year. Because of this, ordinary star palaces have a unique characteristic—the ability to fuse star palaces! The upper limit is one thousand. I believe you’ve already experienced this.”

“Besides ordinary star palaces, are there any others that can’t be fused?” Li Tianming suddenly became curious.

He remembered that he had always used ancient star palaces one by one.

“That’s right.” Qin Huaishan nodded, then continued, “Powerful beings from thousands of light-years away, and even those from tens of thousands of light-years away, will have their physical power expand after death due to leakage. During this process, even if they use secret techniques to seal their life force, they can only control it to a certain extent, ultimately limiting the size of their Ancient Star Palace and Imperial Star Palace to at least ten thousand light-years and one hundred thousand light-years

respectively. At this point, the corresponding Ancient Star Palace or Imperial Star Palace exceeds the size of their own bodies, making star palace fusion impractical.” “So, a star palace doesn’t necessarily have to be very large, right?” Li Tianming asked.

“Theoretically, that’s true, it depends on its Dao essence and inheritance, but in reality, it’s impossible to forcibly compress the size of a star palace.” Chi Wan nodded.

At this moment, Li Tianming had a deeper understanding of various star palaces.

It turned out that he had been cultivating within the bodies of those powerful beings all along!

Moreover, these powerful beings were all generous and selfless, dedicating their own creations to future generations, which is admirable!

At the same time, Li Tianming also secretly guessed that the reason why there were so few Imperial Star Palaces in third-level star systems was because there weren’t many powerful beings from tens of thousands of light-years away.

Even those powerful beings tens of thousands of light-years away might not exist, and it’s possible that the Imperial Star Palaces they possess were acquired through other means.

However, there’s no doubt that such powerful beings abound in the Republic of the Divine Heaven and the Great Wall of Corona Borealis!

The Great Wall of Corona Borealis, in particular, has a greater advantage in terms of star palaces, as the people there are generally more selfless.

Furthermore, this place has another characteristic: star palaces here are almost exclusively obtained by the capable!

Therefore, the Great Wall of Corona Borealis is most suitable for those without a background.

“Brothers and sisters, I have another question. What do I need to rely on to cultivate in the Imperial Star Palace? Martial achievements, or military merits?” Li Tianming asked.

After understanding these points, Li Tianming became more direct. He had already used many ancient star palaces and naturally wanted to try the more powerful Imperial Star Palace.

“You want to go?” Chi Wan raised an eyebrow.

“Who wouldn’t?” Li Tianming said speechlessly.

“Haha! That’s right!”

Everyone laughed, expressing their understanding.

“Tianming, to enter the Imperial Star Palace, neither of these things is important. The Imperial Star Palace is very special; it waits for those with the right destiny,” Qin Huaishan said mysteriously.

“What kind of destined person? Do I have to have my fortune told before I can cultivate?” Li Tianming asked in surprise.

“Don’t tease my little brother,” Chi Wan said with a slight smile, her red lips curving upwards. “Actually, it’s all about the approval of the Emperor Star Palace Master. If the Star Palace Master is willing to let you in, you can enter. There aren’t even many requirements regarding cultivation level. That’s what makes the Emperor Star Palace different.”

Qin Huaishan also stopped joking and said seriously, “You have high talent. You can consider giving it a try. If you succeed, you’ll be awesome.”

Li Tianming smiled slightly, his eyes seemingly burning with infernal fire.

He made no attempt to hide his ambition; he was determined to give it a shot!

“Alright, I’ll test the waters then!” Li Tianming said with a smile.

Li Tianming began to look forward to what surprises the Emperor Star Palace would bring him…
