Chapter 1238 1232: Date Revealed

"Incredible!"

In the blink of a mortal's eye, an entire starfield was established! If this was not 'incredible', there was nothing in this world that was! Those who were lucky enough to bear witness to this event were filled with turbulent emotions, from shock, excitement, reverence, disbelief, and concern.

"How silly," the Soul Saint King slightly frowned as he swept his lime-green eyes across the Dark Void, inspecting the true elites of the world and their expressions. They had all come here with the intent to seize a piece of the pie of a newly emerging radiant star but were instead turned into casual observers of a brand-new force.

Moreover, a legend's life's end marked the anniversary of its creation, establishing a dominance that could be considered unrivaled, and likely will last for countless years to come. In truth, while he wouldn't admit it, the only reason why he wasn't equally as shaken as the rest was because he knew this day would come.

That day, that fateful day of his battle against the Armored Saint, he had been forced into certain oaths. Among them was an Oath that prevented him from actively hindering or competing during the first decade of the Neo-Dawn Starfield's creation. It was minor at the time, barely an afterthought. When he swore it, he hadn't expected it to be like this.

The radiant star that was ten times bigger than the Aeternal Sky Star exuded a harmony of mortal and mystic-graded solar essence that far surpassed the Mystic Radiance Belt's mortal solar essence turned mystic-grade through its processing was far superior! It was now the centerpiece of the Neo-Dawn Starfield!

He observed the planets and Moons, finding quite a few that were extremely familiar. His eyes became slightly constricted after finding a particular planet with a faint golden glimmer in its atmosphere. "Goldspire!" It exuded a dense metal-attributed aura and had been a planet used to mine high-quality metal ores inside the Ninestar Starfield.

While the starfield was the main grounds of the Ninestar Sainthall, there was still a distinction between Ninestar Sainthall's property and certain powers within the Ninestar Starfield. Goldspire was a planet forged through the efforts of the Shen Clan, founded by Highlord Goldspire, a deceased Demi-Mortal Lord. It was his legacy planet, and the main headquarters of the Shen Clan.

He didn't think he would discover it here. Furthermore, he wasn't the only one to find familiar planets! Or the only one among the Soul Monarchs to notice!

Yue Lixiang had keen eyes, and she instantly remarked: "It really is Goldspire, the Grand-Gold Ore mining planet! I had heard that the Goldspire was lost in the bet between the Golden Life Pavilion and Everlore Association. Since then, there was heavy movement, and the vast majority of the Shen Clan was forced to evacuate for 'renovations'."

"They lost it? Isn't that Highlord Goldspire's legacy? How could they wager such a precious resource?" The Soul Waking Saint was in disbelief. That was extremely reckless!

"Unfortunately," the Soul Rumbling Saint chimed in, "the betting odds and circumstances were simply too favorable. How could anyone guess that the Everlore Association would lose all those decades ago?" The Soul Monarchs glanced at the Soul Rumbling Saint, their eyes curious and piercing, and he faintly scratched his cheeks. Clearly, they were all keen figures that instantly realized that he had lost quite a bit, and likely a ton of it too.

He coughed awkwardly.

"It's the planet's blessing," the Soul Creation Saint softly said as she regarded the newly established starfield. She was a top figure, renowned by the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region as among the top three Architects in the world. She had a modest appearance, with short, brunette hair, and a pair of peach-colored eyes. While she wasn't beautiful, she was certainly not ugly.

"..." Her words were met by a resounding silence that verified her words. Goldspire would be drenched in this rich radiance that would change it at a fundamental level.

"How did he do it?" The Soul Martial Saint asked, his bulky and muscular body exuded an imposing aura. Despite being an Earthly Saint, he hadn't grasped the Spatial or Temporal Runes, so his comprehension of either field was quite lacking. He was deeply shaken by the sudden emergence of so many planets and lunar satellites, and as they continued to inspect it, they could find renowned celestial bodies of various starfields!

Some planets were an amalgamation of Continental Flat Earths, so they were deeply unfamiliar. One of those continents was the Sword Dome Continent of Venerable Slayingsword's organization, the Reaping Sword, and a few other continental flat earths were combined to make a freshly established planet.

Furthermore, there was the Realm Region that mimicked the Endless Prosperity Domain's 81 World Realms. It was uncertain how exquisitely formed that was without a close and careful inspection.

Regardless, their expressions all changed. The time, energy, power, and planning needed to perform all this must have been utterly massive. It would vastly exceed the Bone True Starfield's achievement of merging three starfields. Additionally, there wasn't the slightest disharmony in their orbit. It was clearly meticulously orchestrated.

"It's a thing of beauty," the Soul-Creation Saint remarked with a sigh. Her peach-colored eyes were suffused with pure appreciation. As an Architect, formations were the foundation of many things, and the arranged formation of orbits had some miraculous meanings and benefits that were hard to see at a glance. She could grasp a hint of this, and she was in total awe.

"That star isn't ordinary either," the Soul Destruction Saint commented. Whether it was a relic of the past eras or not, none of that mattered with how extraordinary it was. The urge to cultivate was rising from his Mystic Soul. If it wasn't for Jiang Jingshi's fate and those eighty-one Earthly Saints, including the newly arrived Grand Knight of Neo-Dawn, he might have simply breached and cultivated then and there.

"So what now?" The Soul Waking Saint asked. They were all here to investigate the new star, but Alchemic Sovereign Wei had already claimed this territory, and he was being extremely clear about his intent. More importantly, this was clearly well-thought-out and carefully invested. It would be foolish to intrude and make an enemy of the rising mortal youth, even in the face of such an astonishing star.

Were they going to simply go home?

"We wait," the Soul Saint King informed. He didn't delve into the why, but since Wei Wuyin had done this so publicly, there was bound to be something to be a world-shaking follow-up, and this was perfectly in line with his modus operandi. When Wu Yu broke through to the Earthly Saint level three decades ago, he announced All-Alchemic Clash Royale. Unfortunately, the event was replaced by the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit.

It was reasoned out and people understood. The Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit and Chosen King Competition were placed at the forefront of importance, so all else was relegated.

Could he be bringing it up again? Or perhaps, he wished to do something convention-breaking once again?!

The Soul Saint King began to feel a swelling of excitement in his heart. Just like the King of Everlore during his time, the arrival of Wei Wuyin established a trend of rise in the Dao of Alchemy and the growth of the entire world. The vast majority of Earthly Saints present was either directly or indirectly the result of the King of Everlore's influence.

The Ninestar Sainthall would not be the Ninestar Sainthall it was today if not for the King of Everlore's breakthrough into the Earthly Saint Alchemist level!

Now, the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill had redefined the standards of young cultivators, granting unimaginable, almost extremely difficult to compete again, benefits that were heaven-defying.

Multiple Alchemists had exceeded their previous limitations, rising from Official-tier to Prime-tier, or Prime-tier to Grand-tier! The Dao of Alchemy was flourishing, with more products on the market than ever before, and non-exclusively as well. He had entered a Golden Life Pavilion branch's small city shop in Hexaflame Starfield on a delegation mission to re-discuss trading agreements and was deeply taken aback by how filled the shelves were of lower-ranked products. It was from a nondescript city in the middle of nowhere amazing.

The foot traffic was astonishing there, and cultivators were happily cultivating and respecting every corner of the shop. The prices were low, affordable, and of high-quality. Not a single impure product was sold in that city. It was even illegal to sell impure-quality products there! ILLEGAL!

When he returned to the Ninestar Sainthall, visiting a similar shop, the shelves were almost barren—only low-quality or backdoor impure-quality products were sold, and the prices were at least three times as high. The atmosphere was extremely low, but when he realized this was the 'typical' environment that had been going on for centuries, he was stunned to see such a drastic difference.

Before, products were a commodity that was as rare as could be. Most cultivators resorted to seeking out the least impure products or used raw materials for their cultivation, a common practice. After all, low-quality products might have the term 'low' but it meant 100% pure with 100% effectiveness. It was at its 'lowest' potential as a product.

This was incredible!

San Luoyang had reached the Earthly Saint Alchemist level, proving the Everlore Association's Dao of Alchemy, showcasing that it was not declining in the slightest! The competition between the Golden Life Pavilion and the Everlore Association generated buzz and low prices, giving cultivators great opportunities. It was a sight to see, a rare sight, and certainly a welcomed one for the majority of cultivators.

"..." The Soul Monarchs all waited, and so did the other Ascended beings!

Wei Wuyin inspected the starfield and felt deeply satisfied. There wasn't the slightest error in its arrangements. Fortunately, Baby Defiant could emulate his projected gravitational strength and radiance of his previously calculated size. He also discovered that he could transfer power from Little Defiant to Baby Defiant by some miraculous connection. While he couldn't easily expand its size, he could increase the output of solar essence or other forces.

As for Little Defiant, it was quietly sending solar essence throughout his body, refining the Stellar-Paragon Physique. With every passing millisecond, he was stronger than before. This feeling of growing continuously stronger allowed him to understand that Little Defiant was exceptional!

Despite not actively doing anything, not only was his physique—Sea of Consciousness, Meridian, and Dantian—getting stronger, while his four Astral Souls were ravenously devouring the solar essence emanating from Little Defiant.

They were cultivating!

"I need to find some time to explore all my gains," Wei Wuyin quietly remarked as he kept finding miraculous changes to his body. The Stellar-Paragon Physique was already astonishing enough, but Little Defiant was his World-Bound Star Domain, and just a normal World-Bound Star could grant unimaginable benefits to one's cultivation, let alone a Solar Star that shattered the conceptual limit of the 'Absolute' size! He couldn't help but wonder what type of Mortal Intent he'd formed.

"Young Lord," Wu Yu appeared beside him with a faint grin. His eyes swept across the audience, lingering on Wei Wuyin's avatar that hovered above the Sky Destroyer, and then he couldn't help but chuckle softly. When he finally looked toward Wei Wuyin, his heart shook. His entire mind was blasted by an intense sensation that was uncontrollable.

In a blink of an eye, he found himself directly in front of Wei Wuyin, his eyes hazy, his knees bent, his head lowered, and his heart comfortable. He said once again, "Young Lord," but the words were said with the dignity of a loyal knight whose heart, body, and mind have long been given by his Lord.

The next words he wanted to say flowed smoothly, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Young Lord."

Wei Wuyin nodded as he regarded the kneeling Wu Yu, "Thanks." The Minor Authority of Imperial Law was passively in effect. No one had come too close to him, but Wu Yu, who cultivated the Imperial Heaven Aura and possessed an Imperial Mystic Soul, clearly felt its presence and had reacted in an incomparably natural manner. He directly kneeled!

"..." Wu Yu stayed kneeling, his mind whirling as he felt the oppressive aura emanating from Wei Wuyin. There was a feeling as if Wei Wuyin could determine his life or death with a single word, a feeling that he had never felt before in his life! But alongside it, the willingness to die by his word was also forming. What was this? Had his heart and soul firmly submitted to Wei Wuyin's Majesty?

Wei Wuyin allowed Wu Yu to bask in the aura of this law, he needed to grasp a better understanding of it for later, so having someone's experience will be great. Furthermore, his cultivation had finally reached the peak of the Mortal Realms, and he could now perform quite several things. For example, the 81 Mystic Rune Seeds and World Rune Seed in each of his Star Cores felt comprehensible.

He could understand them! Like reading a textbook! He simply needed to understand and piece them together, like a puzzle.

While it seemed simple, it was anything but.

However, he already met the bare minimum to ascend. He could feel all 326 Mystic Runes Seeds containing a unique force. The aura was like a latent calling ability to the Mystic Dao! It resembled the feeling of Astral Tribulations and their triggers.

"Interesting," Wei Wuyin had thought the Star Core Phase would somehow merge all his Astral Souls into one, but while they were closer, extremely connected, they still had their own independence. He couldn't tell if this was normal or if it'll cause issues down the line. After all, Debonair Wei Wuyin's experience was far different from his. He needed time to properly dissect the difference.𝐟𝓇𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝐛n𝐨ν𝙚𝚕. c𝚘ｍ

He quietly breathed out all these thoughts, no longer allowing himself to be distracted. There was a time and place for everything, and his situation was going to need lengthy experimentation and observation, so he didn't delay what he needed to do.

He lifted the flag and then slammed it against space. A resounded boom echoed out!

"Everyone!"

The attention of everyone was instantly focused on Wei Wuyin, and Wu Yu shifted to his side, rising slowly as he stood like a loyal knight by his Young Lord.

"In ninety days, the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo will begin!"

"...!" The eyes of many widened!

"The venue will be hosted here—the Neo-Dawn Starfield! All are invited!" Wei Wuyin announced succinctly.

All are invited!

The Soul Saint King's eyes were blazing with a glow of excitement. An Alchemic Expo was a defining moment of an Alchemist's career, he knew it was going to be heaven-shaking!

"The Ninestar Sainthall will attend!" A voice announced from somewhere, reaching every corner of the Dark Void, and it wasn't the Soul Saint King who said this!
