Chapter 874

On an unknown star passage in the Shang Shan Star Region, a spaceship was travelling at a steady pace.

Gu Chen was sitting in a separate room in the spaceship, quietly cultivating.

Beside him, White Ape was sleeping soundly. He would occasionally murmur in his sleep and drool, as if he was dreaming of something delicious.

Gu Chen had been travelling with the people of the Mental Ape Clan for half a month. They had left the Milky Way Star Region and had just entered the Shang Shan Star Region.

The journey was boring. Gu Chen spent most of his time cultivating. Most of the time he spent cultivating was used to study the Undying Stellar Body that he had just cultivated.

From the outside, Gu Chen didn't seem to have changed much. He still looked like a young man. He might have been taller and his muscles were more well-proportioned, but they weren't exaggerated.

However, if one looked into his body, one would discover that everything had changed.

His bones and flesh were bright gold. The characteristics of the Tyrant Body were more obvious than before. The meridians that covered his body had turned into silver rays that crisscrossed and perfectly fused with his body.

As the core of his strength, his dantian had changed even more. It had turned into an existence like a star nucleus.

The strength of Gu Chen's body was much stronger than before. Even if he stood still, an early-stage Immortal King wouldn't be able to hurt a single hair on his body. His dantian was even more exaggerated. It was completely indestructible and ten times harder than his body.

As long as he willed it, his dantian could be completely sealed, perfectly concealing all his aura. He would look like an ordinary person. Even an Immortal Venerable wouldn't be able to see through him.

This was just the external aspect of his dantian. The internal aspect was even more peculiar.

Now, his dantian was like a starry sky. His immortal power had turned into nine-colored light balls. They were like stars that revolved around a small tree in the center of his dantian.

This small tree was yellow-brown. It only had a trunk and a few branches. It looked like a small dragon.

It was rooted in the void and had leaves that were similar to the trunk. The leaves were filled with grey mist.

The grey mist was different from any other power in Gu Chen's body. It seemed out of place. One look at it would make one's heart palpitate inexplicably.

This strange little tree was formed from the Mother Root of All Things.

When Gu Chen absorbed the Origin Energy of the Wilderness God's Main Star and fused it with the Celestial Phenomenon Energy to refine the Indestructible Stellar Body, the Mother Root of All Beings also underwent the greatest change since the Seed of Origin had developed.

Everything about the Mother Root of All Things had always been a mystery. Gu Chen could not explain why it had grown from a seed of origin into the Mother Root of All Things. Now that it had evolved into such a small tree, he could not understand the reason behind it.

In the past half a month, whenever he had time, he would try to study the Mother Root of All Things. Unfortunately, even though it had turned into a small tree, Gu Chen still couldn't form any connection with it.

The only thing he was sure of was that if he wanted the Mother Root of All Beings to continue growing, the key was to cultivate the Nature's Sky Skill.

The Nature of the Heavenly Star Technique came with the Mother Root of All Beings, and the breakthrough in this technique also caused it to undergo new changes. There was clearly a relationship between the two.

Therefore, after Gu Chen's research was fruitless, he shifted his attention to the cultivation of the technique.

According to the description of the Nature's Sky Skill, once the Undying Star Body was formed, the second volume of the Star Core Volume would be completed, and he would naturally step into the third volume, the Black Hole Volume.

However, Gu Chen's cultivation had deviated from the normal path of the technique.

According to the description of the Star Core Volume, if Gu Chen wanted to form the Undying Star Body, he would at least have to complete the third, fourth, and fifth sky secret techniques.

After completing the third sky secret technique, Nirvana Void, the physique that he could form should only be at the Planet Realm.

However, because he had absorbed the enormous origin energy of the Wilderness God Main Star Core, he had skipped the cultivation of the second sky secret technique, and his physique had reached the Undying Star Body level.

This situation was not recorded in the Nature's Sky Skill, and this made Gu Chen feel distressed.

The Undying Star Body had an enormous amount of energy, and its existence made Gu Chen almost immortal. Even an Immortal Lord would find it difficult to kill him, and he had simply become a meat shield.

However, on the other hand, he could not mobilize the enormous energy in his body well.

He could only use his cultivation and the bloodline power of the Overlord Body. As for the enormous origin energy in his body, it would only appear when he was injured.

Gu Chen estimated that if he could mobilize the enormous origin energy in his body, he could easily kill an early-stage Immortal Lord.

However, because it was difficult to mobilize the enormous origin energy, his strength was equivalent to a peak Immortal King. He could only kill an Immortal Lord in close combat and in a few rare situations.

For example, in the previous battle with Qiong Qi, the other party was also a peak Immortal King, and he relied on his bloodline talent to fight against an Immortal Lord. However, because he had encountered a similarly powerful physique, he was immediately at a disadvantage.

However, his opponent was the Seven-colored Fire Phoenix, which was a genuine Immortal Lord. Although its attack could not hurt Gu Chen's powerful physique, Gu Chen could only injure it when he attacked with all his strength. It could easily escape if it wanted to.

As for his opponents, they became the powerful beings of the Yi Clan and the Gold Clan. His chances of winning were even slimmer. If Heavenly General Li had not stopped the battle in time, Gu Chen knew that he would have lost.

The reason was that although he had a strong physique that was not afraid of an Immortal Lord, his cultivation and realm had not kept up. There was still a long way to go.

After reflecting these days, Gu Chen decided to cultivate according to the original cultivation method. Only when his realm kept up would he be qualified to challenge Immortal Lords.

"It's not difficult to learn the fourth secret technique, Dust Flame Extinction, but I have no clue about the fifth."

As usual, Gu Chen meditated on the cultivation of the fourth and fifth secret techniques in his mind. After not making much progress, he shook his head.

The cultivation of the fourth secret technique, Dust Flame Extinction, focused on cultivating the star core fire in his body, while the fifth secret technique turned himself into a "light body".

These two secret techniques were closely related, and Gu Chen had cultivated the Immortal Stellar Body in advance, so he could completely comprehend and cultivate them at the same time.

What was the biggest difference between a star and a planet?

It was that a star could emit light on its own.

Therefore, only when the cultivation of the Immortal Stellar Body reached the Great Accomplishment Realm could he display the various magical powers of the Immortal Stellar Body. Only then would Gu Chen's cultivation of the Star Core Scroll be truly perfect.

Once the dust was gone, the light would shine through the mountains and rivers.

Although it was extremely difficult to cultivate two secret techniques at the same time, Gu Chen was extraordinarily diligent and persistent when he thought of the divine power of the Immortal Stellar Body once he reached the Great Accomplishment Realm.

Unfortunately, the cultivation of the Dust Flame Extinction required a specific celestial environment, which could not be met during interstellar travel. Therefore, Gu Chen temporarily simulated it with meditation.

After another day of meditation cultivation of the two secret techniques, Gu Chen relaxed and rested. Silver light surged in his palm, and an illusory soul appeared.
