Chapter 2087

Zi Chen looked around and saw huge spheres floating in the sky, extending to the end of his line of sight.

Some of the spheres were emitting bright light, while others were as dull as iron and stone.

"Those are Xing Chen's."

Zi Chen looked ahead in a daze. It was the first time he had seen such a scene.

"Those are Xing Chen's. They are also cultivation stars. This is the real starting point of the Star Path."

Xing Chen's son looked ahead and said, "These Xing Chen's are naturally evolved. Most of them are occupied by foreign races, and some contain great danger. They are marked as places for training and exploration. Of course, there are also dangerous places like forbidden areas that no one dares to set foot in."

Zi Chen was standing in the real void.

Standing in the void, he looked at the huge planets around him and felt the ancient aura emitting from the planets. He felt that he was so small.

"Although we still can't recover our energy here, as long as we find the trading location, we can exchange for Heaven Crystals. According to our harvest for such a long time, we can still exchange for a lot of resources."

Listening to Xing Chen's words, Zi Chen noticed that this was also a world, and these planets existed between heaven and earth.

But in the next moment, Zi Chen's expression became strange. He looked at Xing Chen and asked, "You mean, there is no way to recover energy here?"

"That's right. This is a stretch of void. No one can recover energy from the void," Xing Chen said with certainty.

Zi Chen couldn't agree with this point.

Because at this moment, he, who was in the void, could feel that the consumed energy in his world was recovering. Although the recovery speed was much slower than in the Tianwu Continent, it was indeed recovering.

Sinking his consciousness into the world, Zi Chen looked for the source of the energy recovery.

Perfect World didn't have any special situation here. It couldn't absorb energy from the void.

With a flash, Zi Chen arrived at the edge of the world. This place was hazy, as if it was the beginning of the world. The light of energy was drifting in the air.

In this Starting Ground, there were many large green trees. They were constantly changing between illusion and reality. Every time they changed, a wave of energy would flow into Zi Chen's world from the treetops.

"So that's it."

Looking at these constantly changing trees, Zi Chen had a look of realization on his face.

This was the Void Tree that Zi Chen had not paid attention to for a long time. At first, they were only as tall as a person, and some were even in the form of seeds. But after many years of growth, they had become large trees.

If he had not deliberately released his perception, Zi Chen would have forgotten about the existence of the Void Tree. They could absorb energy from the real void, which was a pleasant surprise for Zi Chen.

After all these years of growth, the Void Tree emitted light, becoming more lively. It seemed to be a sign that it was about to develop spiritual intelligence.

Sensing the source of the energy recovery, Zi Chen retrieved his consciousness. His cultivation method was different from Xing Chen's. Even if he gave the Void Tree to Xing Chen, it couldn't help him recover the energy he had consumed.

Thus, Zi Chen didn't tell him about this. He just asked, "Where should we go to exchange for the Heaven Crystal?"

Xing Chen frowned. After pondering for a while, he said, "The best way is to exchange for the Heaven Crystal at the neutral trading point. The Conservative Sect is also fine."

"There are different factions in this Star Path."

"There are three kinds: the Conservative Sect, the Radical Sect, and the Neutral Sect. The main basis of these three groups is their attitude towards the cultivators on the life stars. The Conservative Sect doesn't proactively take action, but they follow some old rules. It's okay to trade with them. Most of the time, you will be ripped off. You might even be assassinated. However, as long as you don't provoke them, they won't provoke you."

"The Neutral Sect is neutral. Their attitude towards the cultivators on the life stars is the friendliest among the three groups. If we can find the trading point of the Neutral Sect, it's the best."

"As for the Radical Sect, you can know from their name that when they meet, they won't stop until one of them dies. The cultivators on the life stars can't enter the area under the Radical Sect's control."

Listening to Xing Chen, Zi Chen frowned. "Is it useful to divide them so clearly? After hundreds of years, the total number of Heaven Realm warriors on the life stars shouldn't be more than ten who have entered the Star Path."

Xing Chen smiled. "You mean the Sky Martial Continent and the Zhan Wu Continent, right? Life star is just a general term. It includes many continents, such as the Demon Clan's Continent, the Winged Clan's Continent, the Starlight Continent, and many others. They are all called life stars."

Looking at Zi Chen's doubtful face, Xing Chen explained, "It's like dividing the sky into two. Things on one side are called life stars, while things on the other side are the alien races in people's eyes. What you know is just the two most special and eye-catching things on one side of the sky."

"It's not easy to explain the specific situation. Because of the many wars and the intervention of the God Clan, some of the continents are out of the control of the life stars."

Zi Chen recalled the scene when he had entered the Zhan Wu Continent from the Demon Domain. At that time, besides him, there were some other people. However, those people weren't from the Demon Clan or the Sky Martial Continent. They were from other continents.

The place where they were staying should be a life star too.

All of a sudden, Zi Chen was moved. He asked curiously, "God Clan, do they really have Gods?"

Mentioning the God Clan again, Xing Chen's eyes sparkled with a cold light. He sneered, "Bullshit God. How could there be Gods in this world? It's just a bunch of arrogant guys who call themselves that."

"But I've seen an existence who calls himself the God of Heaven. He's very strong."

Xing Chen glanced at Zi Chen with an unknown emotion in his eyes. "It's just a self-title. There's no God in this world. The only place where I think there's a God is the Thunder God Temple. However, those arrogant guys are really strong because they're living in another form."

"What form?" Zi Chen asked.

"I forgot. The memory that the Star Ancestor left in my head isn't complete."

Zi Chen suspected that the other didn't want to tell him, but he didn't continue to ask.

Next, they needed to find the trading place.

In a place where they couldn't restore energy, finding the backup materials was the most important thing.

Xing Chen sat down cross-legged and started to search his Sea of Consciousness to find the memories related to this place.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "My memory is a little fuzzy. But I vaguely remember one of the trading places. However, it's not a neutral one. It's a conservative one."

Recalling what Xing Chen said earlier, Zi Chen said, "It's fine as long as it's not a radical one."

Xing Chen was a little worried. "The conservative ones will indeed trade with us, but they've always had the habit of killing and robbing. If it's just a normal trade, they won't do anything. But if there's something they want, then it'll be dangerous."

"Killing and robbing?"

Hearing this thought that hadn't appeared in his Sea of Consciousness for a long time, Zi Chen's eyes flashed with a strange light. He then asked, "In a place like this, will there be a Saint guarding it?"

Xing Chen shook his head and said, "This is only the beginning of the Star Road. It's unlikely to meet a Saint. However, there's definitely a Half-Saint. There might even be a False Saint."

"What's a False Saint?" This was another strange title.

"They can use Saint power, but the rules don't correspond to it. They're existences who have walked on the wrong path of cultivation. They're stronger than Half-Saints. They're almost like new Saints, but they're the weakest among the Saints," Xing Chen explained.

"The weakest Saints? That's great. I'd like to see if I, the strongest Heaven Realm expert, can defeat the weakest Saints. Let's go. We'll go to the trading place of the conservative ones."

Seeing Zi Chen so confident, Xing Chen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go. We'll also see what the conservative ones are like. In the Star Ancestor's memory, some experts on the life stars specifically chose the conservative ones to trade with. And every time they traded, they would deliberately reveal the precious treasures and cause a war. It's another kind of killing and robbing."

According to Xing Chen's memory, the two started to move forward.

In their sight, the planet was clearly visible. But when the two got closer, they found that they were still very far away.

It took the two of them an entire month to fly to the nearest trading location that Xing Chen had mentioned.

During that time, they passed by a planet. When they got closer, they realized how big the planet was.

Pointing at a relatively small planet in front of them, Xing Chen said, "Usually, the trading place will be set on a small planet like this because it's less dangerous and easier to manage. Of course, it's not absolute. Some small planets are actually very dangerous."

As they spoke, the two rushed into the planet and landed on the ground.

It was a very small planet, only about ten thousand miles in radius.

The two landed on the ground and used their spiritual thoughts to sense the aura of many Heaven Realm experts of the alien races.

As for the trading place, it was easy to sense it with their spiritual thoughts.

As the two moved forward, they saw many alien races. Those alien race cultivators looked at the two with strange eyes. They smiled coldly and didn't hide their killing intent.

"This is the trading place. They don't dare to do anything. The Star Path has its own rules," Xing Chen said.

Suddenly, a burly man jumped out from the crowd and shouted at the two from afar, "Hey, what did I see? Two scumbags from the life star."

Zi Chen glanced at him, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Hey, I can see the killing intent in this scumbag's eyes. Scumbag, my name is Deren. Do you dare to fight with your grandpa?" Deren raised his fist at Zi Chen.

"Don't be impulsive. He just wants to provoke you. If you fight here, you will be punished by the Star Path manager."

Xing Chen reminded him. Then, he sped up and walked toward the trading place in front of them.

"Hey, scumbag," the burly man shouted again.

"Idiot, if you want to die, I will fulfill your wish. Wait for me outside the world."
