Chapter 1146: The Grand Revelation

Xiao Shengyi wasn’t too surprised by the fact that they failed to discover anything. Ever since leaving Liu Jiuzhen’s cell, he seemed to have confirmed that the problem didn’t lie in the grand formation itself. After all, he felt that if Liu Jiuzhen wasn’t capable of affecting the grand formation, no one else trapped in the prison could.

As the power of suppression returned to the prison, Xiao Shengyi and Xin Lu, along with the rest of the Star Origin Guards, started to take their leave.

Perhaps they were confident with the power of suppression, but Xiao Shengyi confidently declared the moment he started walking to the exit, “The problem didn’t stem from the prison. There is nothing wrong with the Star Observatory either. I suspect that our Dao Field’s reserves are starting to deplete and that is causing the problem...”

Xin Lu and Captain Fang glanced at each other in shock as they didn’t seem to understand what he meant.

Both of them realized that his words might concern high-level secrets of the Star Origin City they weren’t qualified to learn about. After all, Xiao Shengyi was a Grand Stargazer and his status was a lot higher than theirs.

Captain Fang asked cautiously, “Grandmaster Xiao, how can our Dao Field’s origins show signs of deficiency?”

Xiao Shengyi glanced at him, and he didn’t answer immediately.

Captain Fang immediately chuckled softly to cover his awkwardness, “Oh yeah... I shouldn’t have asked.”

He didn’t expect Xiao Shengyi’s reaction as a soft sigh escaped his lips, “Captain Fang, now that Commander Xing isn’t present, and you’re next in command...”

Xiao Shengyi seemed to be thinking of something as he paused for a moment before skipping what he originally planned to say. In the end, he simply concluded, “Whatever it is, there isn’t a True Immortal in the Seventh Camp and the Star Observatory at the moment. As the second in command, you will have to take charge of the situation. As such... I feel that you should know about some things so that you can prepare for it...”

By that time, Captain Fang had already walked a considerable distance away from the guards behind him.

Unbeknownst to them, there was another terrifyingly powerful True Immortal stronger than Liu Jiuzhen in the prison who wasn’t restrained at all! He might not be able to extend his divine soul down to the third floor because of the strong suppression, but sending it upwards to the first floor wasn’t a problem!

He was silently listening to their conversation.

Captain Fang quickly turned serious and he asked in a low voice, “Grandmaster Xiao, please enlighten me.”

Nodding slowly, Xiao Shengyi opened up with a question instead, “Do you know why our Star Origin Dao Field can form a body of its own?”

“Is it not because of the Star Origin Lord?” Captain Fang asked after a moment of hesitation.

Xiao Shengyi chuckled in response. “The Star Origin Lord is naturally our greatest source of confidence. However, it has been hundreds of years since he left. I’m asking if you know the true foundations of our Dao Field, in other words, this secret region.”

Captain Fang put on a humble expression and sincerely requested, “Grandmaster, please tell me...”

Grunting once, Xiao Shengyi explained, “Our Dao Field is able to exist in space because of 3 separate points. The first is naturally the fact that the Star Origin Lord created it by using the foundations of several stars. The foundations of the Dao Field is located in the Star Origin Manor at the center of the city. The second is the spatial tunnels that are connected to the various worlds...”

“The Star Relay?” Captain Fang couldn’t help but blurt.

He wasn’t the only one. Xin Lu was equally shocked at the revelation.

Xiao Shengyi remained passive and he continued slowly, “Exactly. The many spatial tunnels that connect to the various worlds form an excellent medium for us. Also... The spatial tunnels will slowly absorb the world origin, be it wherever it\'s connected to...”

Captain Fang revealed a look of shock and he gasped, “Grandmaster Xiao, please, say that again! Are you saying that the spatial tunnels we made absorb world origin from the worlds we connect to? How... How can we avoid the experts from their worlds from detecting it?”

“When we first created the Dao Field, the fact wasn’t actually concealed from the worlds we connected to. The Star Origin Lord didn’t hide that fact anyway. After all, many worlds that first connected to our Land of Star Origin did so for protection. They couldn’t wait to contribute a portion of their world origin to our Dao Field. Also, they wish to use it as a trade to use us as a platform to interact with other worlds...”

Captain Fang was completely stunned by the discovery and he could only mutter softly to himself. “This... What...”

Captain Fang wasn’t the only person shocked by the news. Even Xin Lu, the other Stargazer, and Shang Xia, who had been eavesdropping on them the entire time, were dumbfounded at the revelation.

Eventually, Xin Lu couldn’t help but ask a question Shang Xia also wanted to know the answer to. “Senior Brother, which are the worlds that were first connected to our Land of Star Origin? Does it mean that the worlds that formed the spatial tunnel with us later have no idea we’re stealing their world origin?”

“The Spirit Abundance World, Spirit Mammoth World, and several other Spirit and Azure Worlds were the first to form the connection. Over the course of 1000 years, many things happened. Some worlds continued to grow stronger and lived on, while others were invaded and destroyed. As for how many worlds know of this secret, I have no clue. What I know for sure is that the Spirit Abundance World and Spirit Mammoth World definitely know about the matter of us absorbing world origin...”

Xiao Shengyi sneered and continued, “As for the rest of the worlds... If they formed a connection to our city before the Star Origin Lord disappeared, they would have learned of it. For example, the Spirit Tinkle and Spirit Thistle World that came after... I don’t know if they learned about the secret. However, the Spirit Luxuriant World who came last and the other Azure Worlds definitely have no clue.”

Seeing as he didn’t mind her questions, Xin Lu continued to ask, “Senior Brother, for us to absorb world origin secretly... Won’t their experts be able to discover something amiss?”

“Hehe... Actually, they might not be able to. After all, when the Star Origin Lord first established those spatial tunnels, it was used to absorb the world origin that scattered naturally outside the heavenly screen. The ability was unique to the Star Origin Lord and it wouldn’t affect the operations of the worlds.” Xiao Shengyi chuckled.

He continued, “It’s a shame he disappeared back then... For hundreds of years, our city didn’t have his support and even though the power of our Dao Field wouldn’t drop drastically with the existence of those spatial tunnels, our growth still slowed down a lot. We could only form more connections to other worlds in order to absorb world origin from them.”

“Actually, since the previous Star Origin Guards Commander took up his post, every 30 to 50 years, we would secretly increase the absorption of world origin from the worlds. The last time we did something like that was when the Spirit Luxuriant World first formed the connection to us.”

“Because the Star Origin Lord was the one who came up with the foundations of those spatial tunnels back then, all we had to do was to connect it to the various worlds. Even if Zhuge Xiang or the previous Guards Commander activated the ability to absorb more world origin, the True Immortals of their worlds wouldn’t be able to discover a thing! Also, all the world origin we took from the various worlds would eventually be accumulated in our Dao Field!” Xiao Shengyi concluded.
