Chapter 1056: Chapter 1055: One Tree, Ten Eggs

Ye Tianchen learned about the events from millions of years ago, when a Buddhist Emperor Realm monk exterminated the Golden Crow Clan. The only discrepancy he knew from Master Fang Yi was that this monk, after annihilating the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan and sealing the egg of the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor’s Nirvana Rebirth on ”Sealing Demon Cliff,” did not immediately pass away at the top of the ”Sealing Demon Cliff.” Instead, he left Sealing Demon Cliff and went to the Sun Star...

The Buddhist Emperor Realm monk, upon reaching the Emperor Realm, could perceive things that were far beyond the reach of ordinary powerful martial artists. When a martial artist becomes an Emperor Realm figure, their personal magic laws connect and communicate with this Martial Arts World’s magic laws. In other words, those who reach the Emperor Realm have passed the Emperor Tribulation Thunder Punishment and gained recognition from this Martial Arts World. They are even Great Divine Ability Users who can know anything happening in any corner of this Martial Arts World if they wish.

Millions of years ago, after exterminating the Golden Crow Clan, a Buddhist Emperor Realm monk learned that the egg in the sea of fire was the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor’s Nirvana Rebirth. It had been guarded by the Golden Crow Clan for countless millennia. Naturally, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk was a person of great wisdom and realization, immediately associating it with many things. Why did the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor decide to undergo Nirvana Rebirth just after glancing at this world upon arriving and wait billions of years before reemergence? Why, during the Late Ancient Times to Ancient Early Stage, did powerful ancient alien races disappear one after another? Certainly, there is an earth-shattering secret aligned with the great mystery of the entire Martial Arts World. Thus, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk, even in grave injury, went to the Sun Star.

”Master, can you tell me what you saw and heard on the Sun Star?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but want to know what kind of scene was above the Sun Star.

”I will naturally tell you. You have learned the Eighteen Golden Arhat Array, inherited my Heavenly Eighteen Forms, and can be considered half my disciple. Your blessings are much deeper than mine. Having obtained the inheritance of the Buddhist Muscle Strengthening Scripture, you may be the only cultivator of the Yijin Jing in the entire Martial Arts World. It is hailed as the strongest Cultivation Immortal Scripture in the Martial Arts World for a reason. You should thoroughly comprehend it.” The Buddhist Emperor Realm monk said to Ye Tianchen.

”Thank you for your guidance, senior,” Ye Tianchen said, nodding.

Then, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk revealed to Ye Tianchen his journey to the Sun Star. It turned out that after he sealed the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor’s Nirvana Rebirth egg, he went to the Sun Star, the root origin of the Golden Crow Clan. Legend says the Sun Star fell from another world, and the Golden Crow Clan fell with it. They are interlinked, with divine fire burning both inside and out. Except for the native Golden Crows, no martial arts expert dares to approach, let alone enter the Sun Star. Those who merely get close would be obliterated. Only with an Emperor Realm cultivation can one face the divine fire unafraid and enter the Sun Star. The divine fire on the Sun Star is a hundred times more potent than the karmic fire of the Fire Dragon Pond or the demon fire of the Flame Valley. This is said to be the divine fire brought down from the Immortal Domain, unimaginable in its power. Without the Emperor Realm, passing through these burning divine fires and entering the Sun Star is simply impossible.

Back then, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk, eager to uncover why a being as powerful as the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor would undergo Nirvana Rebirth and wait billions of years before reemergence, ventured to the Sun Star. Given his Emperor Realm cultivation, he arrived outside the Sun Star in a few breaths’ time, where the fierce divine fire burned. The entire Sun Star was like a giant fireball. Even with the Emperor’s pressure emanating from him, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk could not suppress this divine fire. He could only protect himself with mighty Emperor True Qi and charge toward the Sun Star’s interior.

However, as the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk crossed layer upon layer of divine fire and neared the Sun Star’s central heart, he found himself trapped by a grand formation of divine fire, unable to proceed. Along the way, he didn’t find any living beings or any Golden Crows, which puzzled the monk. Through his powerful divine skills, he discovered that this grand formation was left by the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor. Breaking it was beyond his ability. This did not surprise the monk; if the legends were true, and the Golden Crow Clan, like the Sun Star, fell from the Immortal Domain, then they were once immortal birds within the Immortal Domain. In a Martial Arts World, where no one can become immortal, the word ”immortal” holds supreme status. In the face of an immortal, even an Emperor Realm individual is thought to be negligible; everyone believes so.

Blocked by the powerful formation set by the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor just as he was approaching the Sun Star’s core, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk did not insist on breaking it. Instead, he circled the formation and found it wasn’t too large, only a few hundred meters in diameter. The monk found it very strange that, despite being the birthplace of the Golden Crow Clan, not a single Golden Crow was on the Sun Star. It defied logic and led him to question why the Golden Crow Clan, coming from the Sun Star together, would reside in a sea of fire within the Martial Arts World.

The Sun Star is a divine fire planet. Besides the Golden Crow Clan leaving traces of life, no other living form can survive there. Its divine fire can destroy anything. Without Emperor Realm cultivation, entering is absolutely impossible. The Sun Star is the Golden Crow Clan’s mighty support and capital. Consuming divine fire for nourishment, they cultivate potent divine skills. Imagine the strength! When pursued by powerful foes, the Golden Crow Clan’s Golden Crows could return to the Sun Star. How many would dare pursue them there? Not to mention it being their lair with many powerful Golden Crows, overcoming the divine fire on the Sun Star is a monumental task. Consequently, the naturally powerful Golden Crow Clan becomes unbeatable unless faced by an Emperor Realm strong adversary!

Why did the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor decide on Nirvana Rebirth, emerging billions of years later? Why set a powerful formation at the Sun Star’s center? Why, instead of living on the Sun Star, did the Golden Crow Clan reside in a fiery sea within the Martial Arts World? Did something happen while living on the Sun Star during that time?

”Senior, even you couldn’t enter the Sun Star’s center?” Ye Tianchen asked, greatly astonished.

”Back then, I was gravely injured, and confronting this formation felt extremely difficult. In my critically injured and nearly exhausted state, breaking it was nearly impossible. As for whether I could manage it in my prime, I cannot say,” the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk replied after some thought.

”Senior, so did you truly gain nothing from the Sun Star?” Ye Tianchen asked once more.

Ye Tianchen gazed towards the Sun Star in reverence. Given his current cultivation strength, he had to look up to it. If he couldn’t reach the Emperor Realm, entering the Sun Star seemed almost impossible. Unveiling secrets about the Golden Crow Clan and ancient mysteries from the late ancient times seemed even more impossible.

Everyone yearns to uncover secrets of the Ancient and Late Ancient times. Every martial artist wants to learn more. The Sun Star, for instance, is said to have fallen from the Immortal Domain, with the Golden Crows descending alongside it into the Martial Arts World. If this legend is true, then grasping some secrets of the Golden Crow Clan and the Sun Star might glimpse a corner of the Immortal Domain, or perhaps invoke an understanding of the chance for Eternal Life. Who wouldn’t yearn for Eternal Life?

Ye Tianchen clearly understood that if he couldn’t gain insight from the senior Buddhist Emperor Realm monk about the Golden Crow Clan and the Sun Star, the time in which he could achieve the Emperor Realm himself to investigate was entirely uncertain, perhaps impossible within his lifetime.

”While on the Sun Star, I stayed for a day and night, observing the formation left by the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor. I found ten Golden Crow Eggs near the edge of the formation, and in the center, there was something resembling a tree,” the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk said, with a hint of shock in his voice.

Ye Tianchen was stunned and muttered to himself, ”Ten Golden Crow Eggs on the Sun Star? A tree-like form in the center of the Sun Star, could it be...”

”Indeed, those ten Golden Crow Eggs were the offspring of the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor. As for that tree, it should be the legendary Fusang Divine Tree!” The Buddhist Emperor Realm monk confirmed with a nod. (To be continued.
