Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood-Chapter 2078 - 1026: Dragon Emperor’s Blessing! The Stellar Dragon Nest!
They arrived beneath the Star Gate.
Passing through the shimmering light screen, like rippling water.
The scene before them left everyone holding their breath.
The sight in front of them defied any description.
There were no magnificent palaces, nor piles of Treasures.
Before them was a complete, miniature universe!
Countless stars transformed into reachable points of light, flowing gently around them, converging into brilliant celestial rivers.
Space lost its meaning here.
They seemed to be standing at the center of the universe.
And in the very center of that miniature universe,
Suspended was an unimaginably enormous, majestic structure resembling a bird’s nest.
It was entirely constructed of a semi-transparent Crystal Stone emitting a seven-colored radiance.
Through the Crystal Stone, one could even see a small "sun" inside, emitting endless light and heat!
This "sun" was the source of light and energy for the entire space.
The pure and extreme Star Force it radiated made Luo Qingchen and the others feel a slight advancement in their Cultivation just by taking a breath.
"This... is the core of the Ancient Star Ruins."
The voice of the Star Soul was filled with pride and nostalgia.
"The Dragon Nest of the Star Clan."
"It is the last refuge and cradle of our Star Dragon Clan."
"The Dragon Nest of the Stars?"
Luo Qingchen murmured, their eyes full of shock.
Using a real star as an energy source to construct a massive nest.
This operation is just too grand!
This is no longer the means of a Cultivator; it is the creation of a deity!
"Ya! Ya!"
Bai Ling’er, who had been quiet all along, suddenly became extremely excited upon seeing the Star Dragon Nest.
She wriggled free from Lin Wan’er’s embrace and rushed towards the Dragon Nest on her short little legs.
Her small body emitted an unparalleled noble and pure Dragon Power during her flight.
"Bai Ling’er!"
Lin Wan’er was startled and hurried to chase after her.
"No worries."
The Star Soul stopped her and said soothingly.
"She is of the True Dragon Bloodline, and the Star Dragon Nest will not harm her."
"True Dragons and our Star Dragon Clan were the steadiest allies during the Ancient Era."
"To her, this place feels like returning home."
Indeed.
As Bai Ling’er approached the Star Dragon Nest, its surface glimmered gently as though welcoming her arrival.
She resembled a joyful little bird, fluttering around the Dragon Nest, emitting bursts of happy laughter.
Seeing this, Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan finally felt at ease.
"Follow me, Inheritor."
The Star Soul led Luo Qingchen towards the center of the Star Dragon Nest.
The closer they got, the grander the Dragon Nest felt and the more insignificant they realized themselves to be.
They passed layer upon layer of complex Formations and restrictions formed by Star Force.
Any of these restrictions could easily obliterate a Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage.
But under the guidance of the Star Soul, it was as if they didn’t exist.
At last.
They arrived at the very core area of the Dragon Nest.
Here lay an enormous, vast platform.
In the center of the platform lay a colossal dragon bone nearly ten thousand meters long, resting silently.
Even after a hundred thousand years, this dragon bone still exuded a terrifying Dragon Power that seemed capable of crushing the heavens.
The shape of the dragon bone was identical to the Star Dragons depicted on the nine celestial pillars outside.
Yet, the pressure it emanated was many times stronger than those nine Dragon Souls combined.
This was once the master of these Ancient Star Ruins.
The last Emperor of the Star Dragon Clan.
"This... Is this... the remains of the Star Dragon Emperor?"
Luo Qingchen gazed at the giant dragon bone in front, their spirit trembling.
"Yes."
The Star Soul’s tone grew somber.
"A hundred thousand years ago, to resist the invasion of the ’Shadow,’ His Majesty the Dragon Emperor exhausted his last ounce of strength to seal himself and the entire Dragon Nest in this temporal rift, preserving the final spark of our clan."
"Shadow..."
Luo Qingchen clenched their fist unconsciously.
That cursed organization again.
Their gaze landed on the colossal dragon bone.
They saw it.
In the huge, mountain-like, bony claws of the Dragon Emperor,
A dazzling "heart" the size of a human head was being held quietly, seemingly containing the entire starry sky.
That heart, composed entirely of the purest Star Energy, was beating slowly and rhythmically.
Every beat gently resonated through the entire space.
"What is that?"
Luo Qingchen couldn’t help but ask.
They could feel a terrifying force capable of world destruction emanating from the heart.
"That’s the most precious Treasure His Majesty the Dragon Emperor left for you."
The eyes of the Star Soul glistened with reverence.
"The Heart of the Dragon Emperor!"
"It is the culmination of His Majesty’s lifetime of Cultivation and all his insights into the Star Path."
"If you can merge with it, you will ascend in one step!"
Ascend in one step!
Hearing these four words made Luo Qingchen’s heart skip a beat involuntarily.
This temptation was too great!
"However..."
The tone of the Star Soul suddenly shifted.
"The Heart of the Dragon Emperor, though an ultimate Treasure, contains immense and wild power."
"Across a hundred thousand years, there have been no lack of destined individuals who, having passed the trials, arrived here."
"Yet without exception, they were all destroyed, body and Divine Soul, while attempting to merge with the Heart of the Dragon Emperor due to its terrible energy."
Luo Qingchen frowned.
"Then how can it be successfully merged?"
He certainly didn’t want to overcome three trials only to die in such a place.
"Merging the Heart of the Dragon Emperor requires two indispensable conditions."
The Star Soul held up two fingers.
"First, a sufficiently strong ’container’ to bear the power of the Heart of the Dragon Emperor."
"As the Inheritor, your unique physique, blending Chaotic Power and Heavenly Dao Laws, is the perfect container in this world."
"Your Chaotic Power can devour and assimilate all energies, theoretically enough to contain the power of the Heart of the Dragon Emperor."
The eyes of the Star Soul focused on Luo Qingchen.
"And the second condition?"
Luo Qingchen pressed.
The Star Soul chuckled, not answering directly but looking at the small figure flying joyfully around the Dragon Nest.
"The second condition requires a ’catalyst’ to soothe the wild energy of the Heart of the Dragon Emperor."
"That little girl with the purest True Dragon Bloodline is the perfect catalyst."
"Her True Dragon Power and our Star Dragon Power share the same origin, yet possess a gentle attribute, capable of perfectly harmonizing the wild intent of the Heart of the Dragon Emperor."
"Container and catalyst."
"Inheritor, you and she, both are indispensable."
"Perhaps this is the decree of destiny."
The Star Soul’s voice was laden with sentiment.
Luo Qingchen also glanced towards Bai Ling’er in the distance.
Now he finally understood.
Why all the signs along the way pointed simultaneously to Bai Ling’er and himself.
From the beginning, they were predestined to be the twin keys to unlock this legacy.
"So, it requires Bai Ling’er and me to merge this Heart of the Dragon Emperor together?"
Luo Qingchen confirmed.
"Precisely."
The Star Soul nodded.
"For you, this process is filled with danger."
"But for her, it is an unparalleled opportunity."
"By aiding in calming the Heart of the Dragon Emperor, she too can absorb the purest Star Dragon Power to awaken her True Dragon Bloodline, allowing her to undergo an important transformation ahead of time."
"This is immensely beneficial for her future growth."
Hearing this, the final shred of hesitation in Luo Qingchen’s heart disappeared.
As long as it’s beneficial for Bai Ling’er, the risk is worth it.
He took a deep breath, his eyes gaining an unwavering resolve.
