Chapter 843: 646’s suspicion of Kunpeng_2

The power it exuded gave Jiang Chen a sense of grandeur and unfathomability!

Strong, incomparably strong!

The impression the Heavenly Star Divine Palace left on Jiang Chen was one of immense strength, capable of easily suppressing him, even eradicating him.

Divine Artifact, a peerless Divine Artifact, the might of the Heavenly Star Divine Palace had at least reached the late Quasi-Saint stage, which is to say, the stage of cutting away the secondary souls.

"Too strong, the feeling the Heavenly Star Divine Palace gives me is much more potent than it appears. The power it can exert must be stronger than it seems."

As he released his Divine Thought, Jiang Chen merged with the Heavenly Star Divine Palace, spreading into every corner of it, to comprehend its power and explore its capabilities.

Inside the Heavenly Star Divine Palace, no deities were born. No, it’s not correct to say there were none; rather, the deity nurtured by the Heavenly Star Divine Palace was the Heavenly Dao itself, devoid of any emotions and not descending into the world in the guise of deities.

This was, of course, Jiang Chen’s intention. He felt the power of the Heavenly Star Divine Palace was too vast and, as the future grave of the Demon Clan and Heaven Court, having his own will was enough; superfluous emotions were not needed.

Hence, the will of the Heavenly Star Divine Palace was the will of Heaven and Earth, seemingly unfeeling, but still bearing all sorts of emotions.

"Such tremendous power, even stronger than that of the Bear King. The realm of the Heavenly Star Divine Palace is indeed in the late stage of Quasi-Saint, but the power it can unleash far exceeds just that."

"I can feel that the Heavenly Star Divine Palace has an inexplicable connection with the Heavenly Stars. At full force, it can borrow the power of the stars from the boundless starry sky, erupting with might comparable to that of the Great Divine Transcendents."

"Moreover, these Heavenly Star Divine Palaces seem to be able to sense the other Heavenly Star Banners scattered about and thus determine their locations."

When Jiang Chen completely merged with the Heavenly Star Divine Palace, all the wondrous uses of this Divine Artifact spontaneously surfaced in his mind.

The Heavenly Star Divine Palace is composed of 365 Star Divine Palaces, arranged according to the positions of the Heavenly Star Array, each corresponding to one of the 365 stars in the sky.

Thus, when the Heavenly Star Divine Palace erupts with full power, it can immediately transform into the Heavenly Star Array, borrowing the might of the stars from the boundless starry sky.

Of course, the fragmentation of the stars means that even at full force, it no longer possesses the might to suppress a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, but suppressing a Great Divine Transcendent is still possible.

However, there are only 144 of the Divine Palace’s banners, not the full 365, so its power must take another discount, shifting from being capable of suppressing to merely contending with Great Divine Transcendents.

The difference between suppression and contention is stark.

Nevertheless, although the Heavenly Star Divine Palace doesn’t possess all the banners, the integration of many banners allows it to sense the locations of the other Heavenly Star Banners.

If these scattered banners could all be collected and integrated into the Heavenly Star Divine Palace, its prowess could be made complete, advancing further to a Quasi-Saint of perfect completion level Divine Artifact.

Its power would be enough to pressure Great Divine Transcendents!

"Rise!"

Regaining his senses, Jiang Chen manipulated the entire force of the Heavenly Star Divine Palace to form a vague silhouette in front of him.

This figure, exceedingly ethereal, had an indistinct face that was unseeable. He bore an air of loftiness, without a trace of emotion, giving off an immensely indifferent aura.

Cloaked upon his body was a robe of Heavenly Stars, with the Sun, Moon, and Stars moving upon it, radiating an aura unique to Innate Treasures.

This was an Innate Treasure, the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map!

In his hands, he held a grand clock of Chaos; this was the Open Heaven Bell, enveloped in the purple mist of the Heavenly Dao, a Holy Artifact of the Heavenly Dao, commanding power in this realm comparable to a top-level Innate Spiritual Treasure. Even outside this realm, it remains a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The Open Heaven Holy Artifact, needless to say, is the great clock of Chaos from the time of creation, formed from many fragments of Innate Spiritual Treasures. Therefore, upon its birth, it possessed thirty-six Innate Divine Banns, making it one of the strongest among the High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

As for the Innate Treasure Sun, Moon, and Stars Map, it was only a projection, not the physical entity itself.

The power of the Four Great God Diagrams was so formidable that, when combined, they formed an Innate Treasure, even though Jiang Chen had already fused them into the Cycle Divine Palace, he still couldn’t refine them in a short period of time.

At present, the Four Great God Diagrams were still within the four divine palaces, merely waiting to be refined. Once refined, their power would reassemble within the Cycle Divine Palace and transform into a low-grade Innate Treasure.

This figure, without a doubt, was the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao will of the Cycle World, representing the strongest power of the Cycle Divine Palace.

"Merge!"

With a thought from Jiang Chen, his body suddenly moved forward, merging with this Heavenly Dao figure. Then, he seized control of all the power of the Cycle Divine Palace. Each and every move he made was now reinforced by the power of an entire Great Thousand World, endowing him with boundless might.

"This power, it’s so strong!"

"I think if a Mystic Sect master wants to take me on, it would be best to directly deploy a Great Divine Transcendent. That way, even if they can’t beat me, they would still be able to retreat with ease."

"Otherwise, sending a Quasi-Saint to deal with me, even one who is at the peak of Quasi-Saints, may not necessarily be a match for the Cycle Divine Palace."

Having witnessed the might of the Cycle Divine Palace, Jiang Chen began to worry about the Mystic Sect master who was about to face him. If his strength wasn’t up to par, he might not end up in a good place.

"It’s curious that even with the Cycle Divine Palace being so powerful, it still cannot resonate with the Purple Mist Star; how mysterious this star truly is."

"I just don’t know whether, when all three hundred sixty Heavenly Star Banners are gathered and the Cycle Divine Palace is completely perfected, it will be able to sense the Purple Mist Star."

Trying to sense the Purple Mist Star with the power of the Cycle Divine Palace, Jiang Chen suddenly discovered that, although he could see the location of the Purple Mist Star, he couldn’t borrow even a trace of power from it.

In an instant, Jiang Chen understood that the current power of the Cycle Divine Palace wasn’t enough to affect the Purple Mist Star; he could only wait for it to be perfected before attempting again.

As for where the remaining Heavenly Star Banners were...

Jiang Chen tried to sense their location, and a strange expression couldn’t help but emerge on his face, as he involuntarily looked in the direction of the North Sea.

"The North Sea, there..."

"Northern Netherworld Demon Teacher Palace!"

In Jiang Chen’s perception, those remaining two hundred plus Heavenly Star Banners were all gathered together, right in the North Sea. And the North Sea was the domain of the Great Ancient Demon Teacher, Kunpeng Ancestor.

"Demon Teacher Kunpeng is also a very mysterious Great Divine Transcendent, with deep ties to the Demon Clan. He’s said to have deserted his clan, but the truth behind the matter remains unclear, doesn’t it?"

"With so many Heavenly Star Banners in the hands of Kunpeng Ancestor, it inevitably leads to speculation. The seventy-two Earthly Fiend Star Banners that the Demon Clan used to ambush me in the Boundless Starry Sky, I wonder if they were borrowed from Kunpeng Ancestor."

"Furthermore, that Great Divine Transcendent who suddenly took action—could it have been Kunpeng Ancestor?"

Recalling how he obtained the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Star Banners, an ominous shadow loomed over Jiang Chen’s heart.

Kunpeng Ancestor’s penchant for collecting Heavenly Star Banners, having already amassed more than two hundred of them, made Jiang Chen wonder if the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Star Banners were also part of his collection, possibly lent out just to deal with him.

"Kunpeng Ancestor is highly suspicious. The records about him in Emperor Xi’s inheritance are scant, as if deliberately edited out."

With his suspicions towards Kunpeng Ancestor growing, Jiang Chen reviewed Emperor Xi’s inheritance in his mind, seeking to understand more about Kunpeng Ancestor.

However, it was at that moment that Jiang Chen suddenly realized that Emperor Xi’s inheritance contained pitifully little about Kunpeng Ancestor, almost as if Emperor Xi had intentionally ignored him.

"Mysterious!"

"I must make a point to visit the North Sea at some opportunity."

Labeling Kunpeng Ancestor as mysterious in his mind, Jiang Chen found him to be even more suspicious and resolved to find time to visit the North Sea in the future.
