Chapter 803: 627 A Good Thing Doesn’t Come Easy (5000)_2

"Alas, such a troublesome autumn!"

"These disciples, each one is less hassle-free than the last."

After Jiang Chen left, the Upper Qing Saint shook his head and then, with his fingers together like a sword, pointed towards the Nanji Star in the boundless starry sky below. Instantly, an invisible barrier outside the Nanji Star shattered, once again allowing it to reconnect with the outside world.

"Hmm?"

"The Nanji Star!"

Just at the moment the barrier was broken, from the other end of the outer Chaos, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign in the Jade Void Palace opened his eyes involuntarily and looked puzzled in the direction of the Nanji Star.

"What is my younger brother trying to do, suddenly lifting the restriction on the Nanji Star?"

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign was somewhat puzzled. Back in the day, he had quarreled with the Upper Qing Saint, resulting in their mutual confrontation, which sealed the Nanji Star, making it inaccessible to others. But now, the Upper Qing Saint suddenly took action to shatter this restriction. What was he up to?

In his bewilderment, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign saw a figure rushing from the outer Chaos, heading straight for the Nanji Star.

"It’s him, Yu Dou, what is he doing going to the Nanji Star?"

After leaving the Golden Turtle Island, Jiang Chen discerned the direction in the outer Chaos and flew towards the boundless starry sky.

Now that he had obtained the guarantee of the Upper Qing Saint, the first thing Jiang Chen needed to do was naturally to retrieve the Innate Star Maps from the Nanji and Taiyin Stars, to create an Innate Treasure for his protection.

Back in the boundless starry sky, Jiang Chen thought for a while and decided to head to the Nanji Star first. It wouldn’t be too late to retrieve the map from there before going to the Taiyin Star.

Ever since he learned that Xihe was hiding on the Taiyin Star, Jiang Chen instinctively felt aversion to that place, not wanting to get close, and simultaneously feared it greatly.

This wasn’t to say that Jiang Chen was afraid, rather he was affected by Xihe’s Divine Ability and in turn developed an aversion and fear of the Taiyin Star, hence his reluctance to approach it.

Jiang Chen was not unaware that he was affected by Xihe’s Divine Ability, but it was precisely because of this that he was even more reluctant to get close to the Taiyin Star. The logic was simple, if Xihe truly didn’t welcome him, why else would she use her Divine Ability to prevent him from getting close to the Taiyin Star?

Knowing that someone dislikes you and still deliberately approaching them isn’t that just looking for trouble?

"Hiss, when I go to the Taiyin Star to get the Taiyin Star Map, I need to be fast, as fast as possible, definitely cannot linger." While passing by the Taiyin Star, Jiang Chen did not even glance in that direction and hastily left.

In the southern part of the boundless starry sky, amidst countless remnants of stars, a tremendously large star shone brilliantly with azure light, illuminating the dim starry space.

This was the Nanji Star, one of the five supreme stars of the Prehistoric World.

"What a rich vitality, even more so than that contained within the Great Ancient Cangtian, truly worthy of being the symbol of vitality."

Just approaching the Nanji Star, Jiang Chen felt a dense vitality wash over him, invigorating his spirit tremendously.

The Nanji Star, also known as the Star of Longevity, governs vitality, and therefore, the Emperor of the South Pole is also referred to as the Emperor Nanji of Everlasting Life.

"Alas, being born in such a place, the Immortal of the South Pole indeed has profound potential, but it’s a pity that he was born in the wrong era. Of all the times to be born, he found himself in the era when the Demon Clan was at its most prosperous, otherwise, with his background, how could he have fallen to his current plight?"

"If he had been born before the Great Ancient times, by now he would at least be a Great Divine Transcendent."

Truth be told, Jiang Chen thought the Immortal of the South Pole was quite unlucky, primarily because he was born in the wrong era. In the entire Prehistoric World, there were only five Supreme Stars, and the Nanji Star was one of them.

As the Innate Star God nurtured by the Nanji Star, the background of the Immortal of the South Pole could be imagined, extremely noble and extraordinary. In the boundless starry sky, his status was second only to those three at Heaven Court - Di Jun, Taiyi, and Xihe.

If he had been given enough time to cultivate and grow, his future might not be comparable to Di Jun Taiyi, but the difference wouldn’t be too great. At the very least, he could reach a level akin to that of the ancient ancestor Kunpeng.

Unfortunately, the Immortal of the South Pole was born too late.

By the time of his birth, the Demon Clan had already been established, and as the Nanji Star God, he was nothing but a thorn in the eye and a nail in the flesh of the Demon Clan. If he had continued to stay in the boundless starry sky, it was uncertain when he would suddenly fall.

Thus, the Immortal of the South Pole fled. And with that flight, he also forfeited his future, now leading a life of displacement.

"In life, choices are very important. Had the Immortal of the South Pole not chosen to flee but instead chose to join the Demon Clan, his future would have been vastly different."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen stopped thinking about the Immortal of the South Pole and stepped foot on the Nanji Star. The Immortal of the South Pole was a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, after all, his future was not Jiang Chen’s to worry about; the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign would take care of everything.

On the Nanji Star, everywhere was brimming with the aura of life, seemingly boundless, flowing in every direction, and creating surges, forming life storms. However, despite the dense vitality, no trace of life could be seen anywhere there.

The extreme of life is death. Precisely because the aura of life here is too rich, it is difficult to nurture life, rendering it a true land devoid of life.

Things go to extremes only to reverse, and that’s the fact.

The deeper one ventured in, the richer the surrounding life aura became, with the contained vitality also more magnificent. When Jiang Chen arrived deep within the Nanji Star, the level of vitality filling the area was so high, it almost matched that of the Original Source of life. Even with his cultivation, he felt tremendous benefits.
