"Only thirty-seven points of Celestial Dao Origin remain. Despite exterminating numerous otherworldly cultivators in this battle, I have not obtained substantial Celestial Dao Origin…"
Lu Qingyang's gaze fixated on the Celestial Dao Origin.
The original hundred points of Celestial Dao Origin had been used to break through to the sixth level.
Now, only thirty-seven points remained, all gained from the fierce battle in the Northern Territory.
Through this battle, Lu Qingyang roughly understood how much Celestial Dao Origin could be obtained from otherworldly beings.
The Celestial Dao Origin released by lower-level otherworldly cultivators was extremely sparse.
For instance, a second-level cultivator could only contribute one ten-thousandth of a point of Celestial Dao Origin.
If encountering a third-level otherworldly being, one could obtain one-thousandth of a point of Celestial Dao Origin.
A fourth-level cultivator would provide one-hundredth of a point!
A fifth-level cultivator would yield one-tenth of a point!
As for a sixth-level cultivator, though he had not personally experienced slaughtering one, based on the situations with third, fourth, and fifth-level cultivators, it was estimated that killing a sixth-level cultivator would directly yield one full point of Celestial Dao Origin.
To obtain one point of Celestial Dao Origin required the life of a sixth-level cultivator, demonstrating the difficulty in acquiring Celestial Dao Origin.
"Although the Celestial Dao Origin from lower-level cultivators is minuscule, it can accumulate over time. By exterminating tens of thousands of otherworldly cultivators this time, I managed to accumulate thirty-seven points of Celestial Dao Origin."
Lu Qingyang pondered, recalling the vast and boundless land of the ancient wilderness, inhabited by countless beings.
If just one ancient wilderness cave was so, considering the entire Wuxian Realm, the number of beings was even more staggering!
However, compared to otherworldly beings, if he could absorb the Celestial Dao power of the Wuxian Realm, Lu Qingyang could acquire vast amounts of Celestial Dao Origin.
He had once fought against the previous Celestial Dao of the Qingyang Realm, causing severe damage to the Celestial Dao of the Wuxian Realm, forcing it into slumber, undoubtedly weakening its cultivation.
Generally, the power of a world's Celestial Dao would be at the ninth level.
However, this ninth level differed from the usual understanding of the ninth level.
Typically, even a ninth-level cultivator stood no chance against a ninth-level Celestial Dao.
The depth of a Celestial Dao's foundation was unfathomable, making it unbeatable even by beings of the same level.
But Lu Qingyang was different.
After merging with the Celestial Dao Origin of the Qingyang Realm, he transformed into the Celestial Dao Immortal Tree.
His life form had reached a level equal to that of the Celestial Dao, naturally eliminating the disparity in foundation.
Once Lu Qingyang advanced to the ninth level, his power would be on par with the Celestial Dao of the Wuxian Realm.
However, all this was premised on the Wuxian Realm's Celestial Dao being in its prime state.
After battling the previous Celestial Dao of the Qingyang Realm, the Wuxian Realm's Celestial Dao had fallen into a state of required slumber.
This indicated the severity of its injuries.
In this condition, how much power the Wuxian Realm's Celestial Dao retained remained an open question.
"The current strength of the Wuxian Realm's Celestial Dao might not maintain the ninth level but should still be around the eighth level."
"As for me, just stepping into the sixth level, I cannot challenge the Celestial Dao. However, if I could exploit the opening of the two realms' passage and have the cultivators of the Qingyang Realm infiltrate and quietly harvest Celestial Dao Origin, it would greatly benefit my future path to breaking through!"
Thoughts swirled in Lu Qingyang's mind. If the Wuxian Realm's Celestial Dao were not in slumber, any invasion by otherworldly beings would surely be detected by the Celestial Dao.
Unless another world's Celestial Dao were willing to pay a huge price to obscure the heavens, it would be impossible to evade the Celestial Dao's detection.
Now, with the Celestial Dao in slumber, the Wuxian Realm was like an open door.
As long as cultivators could infiltrate, they could quietly harvest the Celestial Dao Origin.
Large-scale harvesting of the Celestial Dao Origin from the Wuxian Realm would undoubtedly weaken its Celestial Dao's power.
Just like the previous Celestial Dao of the Qingyang Realm.
In ancient times, the Qingyang Realm's Celestial Dao was extremely powerful, even surpassing that of the Wuxian Realm.
However, after the great catastrophe of ancient cultivators and the world entered the end of the law era, the power of the Qingyang Realm's Celestial Dao gradually weakened.
Because of this,
The Celestial Dao of the Qingyang Realm was defeated by the Celestial Dao of the Wuxian Realm and eventually perished.
"The goal of the Wuxian Realm's Celestial Dao is to devour and merge with the Qingyang Realm's Celestial Dao to become stronger."
Since the Wuxian Realm can devour the Celestial Dao of other worlds to achieve integration, I can do the same!"
Lu Qingyang's thoughts became clearer.
The universe was vast and boundless, and beyond the Qingyang Realm lay the vast starry sky.
In this boundless starry sky, countless worlds must exist.
Just like the Wuxian Realm and those worlds once invaded by it, they all belonged to the same starry sky.
Therefore,
Lu Qingyang could fully imitate the Wuxian Realm's Celestial Dao by seeking out other worlds' Celestial Dao in the vast starry sea.
Step by step, he could enhance his own strength.
However,
Finding other worlds in the vast starry sea was not an easy task.
At this moment,
Lu Qingyang's thoughts stirred, and in an instant, he found himself within the boundless star river.
...
"This is the star river!"
Lu Qingyang gazed at the star river before him, filled with awe.
The starry sky and star river were places all Celestial Dao could reach, a mysterious area.
If the world's Celestial Dao were compared to individual entities, the starry sky would be the grand world carrying all Celestial Dao.
This was a mysterious space within the starry sky, and the flowing star river actually encompassed the entire starry sky.
Countless points of starlight drifted along the star river, resembling a brilliant starry sky.
Each point of starlight represented a world within the starry sky, and Lu Qingyang was one among them.
The method to explore other worlds was quite simple. He only needed to touch the points of starlight representing other worlds and tear the barrier with the power of the Celestial Dao, thus initiating a confrontation.
However,
Despite the star river appearing densely packed with endless starlight, the space was vast beyond measure. Even the adjacent points were unimaginably far apart.
Moreover,
The worlds behind these points of starlight did not all have surviving Celestial Dao; some worlds' Celestial Dao had perished, and their beings were extinct.
Devouring such destroyed worlds would be meaningless.
Lu Qingyang gazed at the vast starry sky and star river. No matter in which direction he looked, it was endless. For him, thoroughly exploring the end of the starry sky was impossible.
The reason was simple,
Lu Qingyang's divine sense was still shallow, limiting the range he could perceive.
Furthermore,
He dared not casually touch other worlds at this moment.
Because his current strength was still weak, establishing a connection with another world might invite catastrophe.
