Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Worried about being retaliated against by the Heavenly Emperor, Hua Yu was completely unaware that the formidable ally he had pledged allegiance to left the Heavenly Emperor self-occupied.

A month later, they had been completely integrated into the Source Star System.

The people they brought had each been given their own positions.

Everyone cooperated well, and there were no unexpected incidents.

Of course, the smooth transition was mainly due to the remarkable quality of Datong.

"Virtual World, revival opportunities, Galaxy Battleship, Wanxiang Instrument... Brother Hei Yang, I think joining Source Star might not be out of necessity, but rather a chance." After understanding Source Star, Hua Yu believed it was far superior to the Daluo World.

Especially the Virtual World.

As a strong figure in the Tenth Realm, he knew what a great opportunity this was.

Many worlds have similar things, but none can achieve this level of simulation, nor let all creatures in the system enjoy it.

Hei Yang nodded, "With top-notch resources for all living beings, it's no wonder it develops so rapidly."

The more they understood Datong's background, the more unbelievable it seemed.

Datong had been established for just over two hundred years.

Yet its foundation was almost as solid as the Nine Heavens World which had developed for over fifteen thousand years.

The potential was evident to anyone who wasn't foolish.

Bai Yue also agreed and nodded, "Originally, Hei Yang, you said it was a chance, which I didn't really agree with. But now, I also have to admit, joining Source Star is definitely better for development than staying in Nine Heavens World... It's just a pity about your Nine Heavens..."

"Speak cautiously, don't bring it up again. A treasure exchanged for future soaring opportunities; we haven't lost anything, in fact, we've gained!" Hei Yang interrupted Bai Yue.

Nine Heavens Opening Sword was definitely a treasure.

Hei Yang even vaguely guessed that the Lifeless True Saint was so powerful yet didn't appear immediately, possibly due to the Nine Heavens Opening Sword.

But what's done is done, saying anything further is meaningless.

"The Nine Heavens Opening Sword, perhaps only in the hands of the True Saint can it truly unleash its power. Compared to that, we should look forward to the Primarch launching the cross-border war; the military merits we need are extremely vast."

After gaining deeper understanding, he knew the importance of military merits, and regardless of the Nine Heavens World situation, they must strive to earn them.

"Next, focus on this; I heard from the Primarch that the cross-border war will resume soon, and there are over hundreds of thousands of worlds waiting for us. If luck favors, the military merits from reviving the Nine Heavens World could be almost half-accumulated."

Bai Yue and Hei Yang had their attention diverted and no longer focused on the Nine Heavens Opening Sword.

It was apparent to anyone that the Nine Heavens Opening Sword was extraordinary; they merely felt it was regrettable.

Compared to what's lost, it's more important to grasp what's right before them.

Indeed, that's the truth.

After handling a series of matters, Wang Sheng also shifted his attention to his spoils of war.

Nine Heavens Opening Sword, this was indeed something that posed a crisis for him.

During this month, aside from cultivation and curses, he also researched and discovered some things.

"According to Hei Yang's information, the Nine Heavens Opening Sword is the foundation of the Nine Heavens World. Once taken away, the Nine Heavens World collapses shortly and vanishes from the Star Map... As expected, it's related to Space Power, but this seems only a mere appetizer."

Nine Heavens World, Nine Heavens and Earth, was entirely built upon the Nine Heavens Opening Sword.

Containing spatial power, Wang Sheng was not surprised.

The most important thing was the other kind of power it contained—

"Creation..."

Nine Heavens Opening Sword, undoubtedly a terrifying treasure of attack and destruction.

Yet the laws it held were entirely opposite.

"It's truly interesting, the external forces are all about destruction, the laws of devastation, but internally, it contains a weak force of creation, vitality; one could say this is the core force of the Nine Heavens Opening Sword, with the exterior merely being an embellishment..."

If not for the existence of the "cultivation" skill.

Wang Sheng might not have discovered the core force of the Nine Heavens Opening Sword within this month.

"It suits me quite well..."

Whether it's spatial power or the coexistence of two opposing forces, both are suitable for him.

As he himself has the forces of Pure Yin and Pure Yang.

"The destructive and killing power of the Nine Heavens Opening Sword should be absorbed when the Nine Heavens World dissolves. Using bit by bit, it may eventually vanish, but if I intervene..."

Wang Sheng pondered and injected a little immortal power into the Nine Heavens Opening Sword.

After a month of cultivation, he had basically mastered it. With the injection of immortal power, Wang Sheng could clearly discern the changes in the Nine Heavens Opening Sword.

The two nearly opposing energies stabilized, resembling the forces of Pure Yin and Pure Yang within him, mutually harmonious yet uninfluenced, not producing any new force, but rather strengthening its spatial power.

"The creative force merges, suitable for developing space, establishing Secret Realm; the destructive force merges, suitable for attack... Though more fitting than the Four Seasons Seal as the core of Qingshan Holy Land, it's even a suppression item for Source Star!"

Previously, the Nine Heavens Opening Sword suppressed the Nine Heavens World's Divine Artifact.

Immortal power brought about wonderful changes, as now this capability was even stronger.

"Let it suppress Source Star; Source Star's defense needs enhancement!"

Upon discovering the existence of the old land, he had continually been strengthening Source Star's defense.

Various methods were employed, the most important being Array.

A strong array can command incredibly fearsome forces.

Now Source Star seemed unchanged, but the defensive level was extremely well-disguised.

Yet the array was always missing a suitable core.

Now it appeared that the Nine Heavens Opening Sword was very fitting.

"With the cultivation presence, as the core of Source Star, both Nine Heavens Opening Sword and Source Star can benefit, but it mustn't be as deeply involved as it was with the Nine Heavens World."

Source Star was his base, he wanted to strengthen it but not impose excessive limitations.

Besides—

"Moreover, I need to be able to use it at any moment..."

The space-time domain formed by the fusion of Time and Heaven and Earth can be used individually, but if it includes space-time treasures will be stronger.

He has time treasures; both the Four Seasons Seal and Time Dice can be used within.

But he lacked suitable space treasures; he intended to gradually refine one, now has the more fitting Nine Heavens Opening Sword.

He obviously wouldn't pass this up.

"In that case, both the array and Nine Heavens Opening Sword need to be refined anew..."

Having made the decision, Wang Sheng started working.

On refining the Nine Heavens Opening Sword anew.

The crucial part involved integrating the nearly endlessly growing Starry Sky Gold.

Starry Sky Gold is rare, but across tens of thousands of worlds, some can always be found.

Wang Sheng had naturally collected a bit.

He wanted to integrate Starry Sky Gold to strengthen its potential.

Otherwise, without this enhancement, even on the Nine Heavens Opening Sword's efficacy, it would eventually be discarded.

Additionally, the array also needed modification to suit himself.

...

Time passed, soon arriving in the new calendar year of 210.

After a lengthy period of adjustment, all strong figures in Datong were sharpening their knives, eager to reopen cross-border wars.

It was precisely on this day.

A phantom image of a long sword appeared high above Source Star, visible from anywhere by all.

Simultaneously, an unseen array emerged, incorporating the long sword phantom.

The phantom gradually disappeared.

This scene only lasted for a moment, yet swiftly, any living being on Source Star could sense the change occurring within Source Star.

"I feel my vitality has grown stronger; my lifespan has been extended..."

"Energy levels seem higher..."

"There's been no announcement of planetary advancement; what's happening?"

"No need to ponder; it's undoubtedly the True Saint's means. Other than the True Saint, no one could accomplish this."

Most could infer this was linked to the Lifeless True Saint and that long sword phantom.

Thus, great interest arose regarding the long sword phantom, yet no information was known.

Only Hei Yang discerned some things.

"Can the Nine Heavens Opening Sword achieve these feats?"
