A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 389: Tianxing City and the Star Palace

Han Li naturally had no idea that a potential crisis that might have arisen had been averted just like that.

But out of caution, he still flew nonstop toward the northeast.

Since he was wanted, he could no longer stay in the southwest sea region. But if he went elsewhere, he would need a map of the entire Chaotic Star Sea.

However, Han Li only had a sea region map of the southwest.

So, a month later, Han Li paused on a small island.

Though this island was not large, because it was located at the junction between the southwest sea region and other sea regions, it had a very prosperous small market district.

Out of caution, Han Li had Quhun use a certain secret technique to simultaneously conceal both their appearances, and each of them wore a cloak.

In this way, unless a cultivator’s cultivation base was higher than Quhun’s, or unless they used their spiritual awareness to spy on their appearances, all they would see was a blurry red light.

During the next half day, Han Li replenished a large amount of raw materials and other goods in the island’s market district, and purchased many books introducing various aspects of the Chaotic Star Sea and related sea region maps, spending quite a lot of spirit stones.

The many small shop owners in the market district were extremely pleased by Han Li’s arrival as a big customer!

Having bought everything he needed, Han Li did not dare to stay long and left the island the same day.

Sitting on the Divine Wind Boat, Han Li took out Jade Slips one by one and studied them carefully.

After an unknown amount of time, he let out a breath, threw the Jade Slips into his storage bag, and fell into deep thought.

After careful examination, Han Li finally had a rough understanding of the entire Chaotic Star Sea.

The Chaotic Star Sea was vast! But just how vast no one knew, and no one was foolish enough to measure it.

The sea region maps so far only covered a small portion of the true Chaotic Star Sea, a fact recognized by all cultivators there.

The explored sea regions were generally called the “Inner Star Sea,” while the unexplored outer sea region was called the “Outer Star Sea.”

And what people generally referred to as the “Chaotic Star Sea” was actually only the “Inner Star Sea.”

The “Outer Star Sea” had an even more terrifying name: the “Demonic Sea.” This was because many incredible and powerful demonic beasts lived there, said to be able to match cultivators at the nascent soul stage, leaving many low-level cultivators who had never been to the Outer Star Sea dumbfounded.

Ancient texts also said that in ancient times, both the Inner Star Sea and the Outer Star Sea were dominated by sea demonic beasts, and cultivators could only hold onto a few lonely small islands.

Only after countless long years did many predecessors eliminate the powerful demonic beasts and open up what is now the Inner Star Sea.

Nowadays, the entire Chaotic Star Sea was governed by a huge power called the “Star Palace.”

This power had existed for so long that even the texts did not record the exact time of its founding.

The origins of its establishment were varied: some said it was founded by the predecessors who cleared out the demonic beasts; others said it was established by a former great overlord after unifying the original Chaotic Star Sea, and so on.

The current Star Palace had built a super city called “Tianxing City” on a gigantic island in the central Inner Star Sea.

The city was ruled by two city lords known as the “Twin Saints of Tianxing,” who governed the entire Star Palace organization.

These two city lords were extremely mysterious, never leaving Tianxing City or appearing in public, so no one had ever seen their true faces.

But cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea speculated that the two sacred lords were either cultivators at the late nascent soul stage or celestial beings at the legendary transformation spirit realm.

After all, the title “Twin Saints of Tianxing” had been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Ordinary cultivators did not live that long!
