Chapter 1597 - Glorious Heart

Though Ye Chen had made it to the second level as well, the way he’d done it was just like everyone else and there was nothing interesting about it. At that moment, Tianming noticed something exciting. "Omnisentient Will!"

A small part of the divine wills of the tens of millions of people of the imperium formed a white mist and flooded toward Tianming's Imperial Will. If this continued, he would eventually be able to use the power of the people like he had in the Flameyellow Continent. This was also a sign that he had succeeded in the Violetcloud Imperium where he’d failed at the Azurecloud Continent and Xuanyuan Dragon Sect. After all, he was only controlling things in the background in the former, while most of the faith during the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect's grand battle had flooded toward the temporarily resurrected Dragon Imperials.

The cloud of Omnisentient Will of such a large empire was definitely nothing to scoff at. Though it seemed immaterial, it was a huge help to Tianming's growth. "At this rate, I'll probably really be able to form Omnisentient Threads here and use the power of the entire star!"

His former goal was the Myriad Solar Sects, and he didn't think he would be able to make so much progress with the people of the imperium through his results in the Astraldome. Now he was even more certain of his path. Everyone continued looking at Tianming with fervent respect, among whom were youths from the Pentarchy's archclans.

"Congratulations, Astralking Tianming!" Shengui and Gong Xiong said, leading many other seniors to do the same. Even they had been impressed by his achievements, and Tianming was quite surprised to notice Astralking Xuanluan among them.

"Astralking Tianming, your performance was thoroughly convincing," said the astralking. He was a core member of the Goldseal Archclan; did his words represent the will of the archclan as a whole?

"It's thanks to your generosity that I even have this opportunity," Tianming humbly said.

"It's a small matter. If you need anything else, feel free to bring it up."

"Many thanks." Now, Tianming had achieved most of his goals. Five ore veins were far from the limit of Yin Chen, so having Astralking Xuanluan's help would be essential. I wonder if the other archclans would see how useful I can be to them and put aside the infighting as Astralqueen Ziyan hopes. Only time will tell.

"Alright, let's stop keeping Astralking Tianming from his cultivation. Time to leave," Shengui said, sending the respectful cultivators off with excitement still brimming in their hearts.

Even without intentionally spreading the word, many people had gone to the wondersky realm and witnessed the battle for themselves. Now, Tianming was a legendary household name across the entire star. As Shengui had said, "The myriad worlds of the astralscape are so far apart that it's hard for them to convene. That's why every one of them is so eager to prove themselves when they have the chance! All this time, our performance in the Astraldome has been less than stellar, leading to the belief that we would definitely lose in an actual astral war. However, your fight has given us the confidence boost we needed. It's a historic moment."

The unique nature of the astralscape gave rise to the desire to compete against other races and worlds, and the Astraldome was the only place where such competitions could be realized without any significant cost, but with the benefit of greatly boosting morale. It didn't matter that Tianming wasn't a native, since most people weren't aware of that fact anyway.

"I can't dally! I have to continue working hard for the battles ahead!" Tianming returned to Violetpeak and continued cultivating.

......

Dense fog made of nova source surrounded Tianming. The worship he had just received, coupled with the change in the bloodlines of Meow Meow and the rest and his combat experience from the Astraldome, made him feel that he was on the threshold of moving to the next level. His Imperial Will had grown considerably this time around. The sword-shaped divine will in each of his albi kept growing larger and tougher, stabilizing Tianming's five-layered astral discs even further.

"Let's try increasing the amount of astralforce to see if I can take it." He used the codices of all five Primordial Chaos Beasts, rapidly filling his astral discs with power. As the nova source here slightly differed from that of Orderia, being a little gentler, the effects it had on his astral discs would be slightly weaker. However, this was perfect for his primordialdisc and radixdisc, allowing Lan Huang and Xian Xian to grow faster.

A few days later, he finally succeeded in reaching the tenth level of the Constellation stage. "I'm coming closer and closer to becoming a solarian. By now, first-level solarians are no longer my match. Let's hope I can meet someone who’s that strong on the second or third level of the Tranquil Battlefield. Otherwise I’ll have no choice but to go beat up Ye Chen again."

He needed a good match to continue raising the faith of the people in the imperium. "There's no rush, though. Yin Chen will be done soon and have ten million bodies. If that isn’t its limit, I'll ask for more ore veins from Astralking Xuanluan. I still have to work on the Frozen Glasstree, too."

The most important part was still the Ninedragon Tribulation. He had run into quite a bit of trouble at the seventh basic move. The Ninedragon Tribulation was the key to controlling the Imperial Dragon Tomb, yet it was incredibly difficult to master! He had already more or less mastered Goddess Flowerfall, but that couldn't even begin to compare. He still had no idea how the seventh strike worked.

In time, Yin Chen managed to reach ten million bodies, and Tianming had also absorbed more than half of the Frozen Glasstree, though he still had no luck with the seventh move. That made him feel a little anxious.

These days, Feiling spent much time with him, playing and cultivating together at all times. When he felt down, she consoled and guided him, or even played around and teased him. Since Tianming wasn't making any progress either way, he focused more of his attention on her, instead.
