Chapter 801: Chapter 470 Star Domain Map and Activating the Ten Thousand Fire Tripod

In this ninth month, within the third season of autumn, even the lushly verdant Heavenly Pillar Mountain gradually takes on a touch of desolation.

On this day, a streak of spirit light appears on the horizon, cutting through the vast sea of clouds like a meteor, swiftly diving into the misty depths of Heavenly Pillar Mountain and vanishing in a flash.

Within Zhao’s Secret Mansion, the Life Flame Great Sun hangs high.

Zhao Sheng hurriedly passed through the outer Barrier, soared to the wooden terrace under the Peach Tree, and looked up, just in time to see the giant and robust figure behind the Jade Table.

Upon seeing that Zhao Xuanjing had truly descended the mountain, Zhao Sheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately flew forward to greet respectfully.

"Qiong Tian, pay respects to the Ancestor!"

Zhao Xuanjing raised his head and withdrew his gaze from the tabletop, turning to Zhao Sheng and beckoning with a smile: "No need for formalities. Qiong Tian, you’ve come at just the right time. Come quickly and lend me a hand."

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s curiosity was piqued. He immediately appeared beside the Jade Table and looked down at the tabletop. There, he saw a Jade Skin Ancient Scroll spread out, its surface shimmered with spirit light, countless stars radiating a faint clarity. Each star was adorned with a string of special number symbols glowing faintly, seemingly representing some space-time coordinates.

Zhao Sheng’s focus sharpened, and he blurted out: "...Star Domain Map! It’s the legendary Complete Heaven Star Domain Map!"

Before he finished speaking, he abruptly looked at Zhao Xuanjing, his eyes burning with inquiry: "Ancestor, from where did you obtain this item?"

Zhao Xuanjing looked at him with a playful smile and teased: "Haven’t you already guessed it, boy? Why ask the obvious?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng suddenly realized and said: "This treasure... could it be a peace offering from that person?"

"Heh, I played Go with him for two months. It’s already given him enough face. Now that his skills are inferior, he naturally has to concede. Our family suffered quite a loss this time. A mere Star Domain Map, how could it satisfy me?

The young Xie boy was quite perceptive, voluntarily sending many treasures.

However, few of them caught my interest. Most have been handed over to Changdu for processing, just enough to compensate for our family’s loss."

After listening to Zhao Xuanjing’s recounting, Zhao Sheng subconsciously asked: "And what about the Mountain City? What was the outcome of the Nine Sect Assembly?"

Zhao Xuanjing replied casually: "The Mountain City, personally established by me, will never be taken by outsiders. From now on, the position of City Lord will always be succeeded by our Zhao Family. However, the Mountain City will now be open to the outside, city industries can be freely purchased, but only disciples of the Eight Major Sects may enter and exit."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately realized that this turmoil was nearly over.

In this round of confrontation, the Southern Sky Zhao Family won in substance but lost in appearance, while the Supreme Sensing Sect was the exact opposite, winning in appearance but losing in substance.

As the saying goes: "When clams fight, the fisherman benefits!"

Apart from the Zhao Family and Supreme Sensing, the biggest winners were undoubtedly the Seven Major Sects such as the Immortal Artifact, Ksitigarbha, and Alchemy Furnace.

However, Zhao Sheng had a suspicion that this "forced" opening of the Mountain City was likely intentional by Zhao Xuanjing.

After all, the Mountain City was too dazzling. If the Zhao Family continued to monopolize the first spirit cave of Heavenly Pillar, it would undoubtedly plant a cause for the family’s downfall.

Since ancient times, those who took all for themselves always met a bad end,

Today, the Zhao Family has a True Monarch overseeing, temporarily avoiding a tribulation of overthrow, but what about the future... what if Zhao Xuanjing were to leave the Tianzhu Realm for some reason?

It is said that today’s cause becomes tomorrow’s effect; the future Southern Sky Zhao Family may become the target of all if there is no True Monarch to guard it, leading to consequences... remain unknown!

Zhao Sheng thought through Zhao Xuanjing’s logic and inner thoughts, arriving at an understanding.

Throughout history, there was never a family that prospered eternally!

Precisely because the Southern Sky Zhao Family is at its peak, Zhao Xuanjing is worried about the potential for a talent gap in the family’s future, leading to a significant decline in overall strength.

Don’t assume that because Zhao Xuanjing can ascend to Divinity Transformation True Monarch, the descendants of the Southern Sky Zhao Family will produce True Monarchs generation after generation.

One must understand that Zhao Xuanjing, who came from humble beginnings, is the most legendary figure in the Tianzhu Realm in nearly ten thousand years.

His legendary experiences are impossible to replicate.

To be precise, the experiences of every Divinity Transformation True Monarch are impossible to replicate.

In today’s environment of declining Spiritual Energy, it is extremely difficult for the Southern Sky Zhao Family to produce a second "Dragon-subduing Demon-suppressing Great Master." It is indeed extremely difficult!

Of course, all of this requires removing a certain bug-level big shot!

For the sake of long-term planning, Zhao Xuanjing chose to retreat and comply by using this opportunity to open the Mountain City.

Otherwise, after he ascends to the Spirit Realm, the Southern Sky Zhao Family might very well become the target of joint attacks, ultimately resulting in division or even complete annihilation.

Upon thinking of this, Zhao Sheng immediately realized the purpose of Zhao Xuanjing calling him here.

Because throughout the family, only he has the best chance of breaking through the God Transformation Barrier.

Thus, Xie Jue Nan’s act of sending this Complete Heaven Star Domain Map is indeed not simple. It can even be seen as a plot with ulterior motives, yet also a kind of open strategy!

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng muttered to himself: "...A pretty good open strategy, but unfortunately aimed at the wrong target. With the Cross-border Transmission Array, this Complete Heaven Star Domain Map is ultimately just a chicken rib."

At this time, Zhao Xuanjing invited Zhao Sheng to sit down and take a look at this Star Domain Map.

Zhao Sheng complied and sat beside the Jade Table, carefully examining it.

At the same time, he heard: "This Star Domain Map covers an area close to three hundred Constant Years. Look here. This realm is called the Spring Birth Realm, located only sixteen Constant Years away from our realm, and it is the closest Cultivation World to ours. I have already calculated that if one were to traverse the Void to reach this realm, the fastest would take a thousand years of flying. If there is no other way, using the Ascension Array of the Spring Birth Realm to ascend to the Taiyi Spirit Realm is not necessarily a bad idea."
