CHAPTER 713: Violet Star Heritage Estate
How sharp are the senses of a golden core cultivator?
Even the slightest sound from a thousand zhang away can be clearly perceived with careful listening, as if someone were shouting in one's ear with a trumpet.
Thus, even though they were hundreds of zhang away, the whispers of a charming female cultivator were immediately heard by other golden core cultivators.
Seeing that this woman seemed to have picked up on something, recognizing that this was the legacy dwelling of an ancient cultivator and understanding its origins, many gazes turned towards her with a hint of malice.
Some even looked particularly aggressive; even though they were also golden core cultivators, they still displayed a strong and domineering demeanor.
"Did you discover something, fellow daoist?"
"Why not elaborate a bit, to enlighten us all?"
A gaunt old man in a loose grey robe, whose appearance suggested he was not a good person, spoke suddenly with a sinister tone.
His gaze brazenly swept over the charming female cultivator's body, filled with a certain lewdness.
Observing that his two followers were both female cultivators, it seemed they were still in their prime despite their age.
"How despicable."
Regretting her momentary slip of the tongue and feeling the old man's gaze, the charming female cultivator was filled with anger in her heart.
However, since the other party was at the golden core mid stage and she had no helpers in this desolate wilderness, she could only suppress her anger.
Seeing the piercing gazes of the cultivators of the same realm scanning her, she felt increasingly pressured.
Worried that she might become the target of their collective aggression if anything went wrong, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke up:
"Based on the pure spiritual energy emitted by the small mountain, we can determine that the spiritual vein of the cave dwelling is at least fourth stage or above."
"And even in ancient times, a fourth stage spiritual vein could not be occupied solely by cultivators below the golden core level, so it can be inferred that the master of the cave dwelling is most likely at the yuan ying realm."
"I have been observing the purple mist phenomenon for some time and found that this purple glow contains certain characteristics of starlight, which allows us to conclude that the master of the cave dwelling cultivated a star cultivation technique."
"After the ancient great war, not only did the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually thin out, but the 'Power of the Stars' has also become increasingly rare."
"To this day, very few cultivate star techniques, and among those who can reach the yuan ying realm, there are no more than a handful."
"Each one has a clear path to follow."
"Thus, we can basically ascertain that the time period in which the master of the cave dwelling lived was likely in the ancient era, when the Power of the Stars had not yet diminished."
"And among the ancient era, the most famous cultivators of star techniques were none other than the 'Thirty-Six Star Sovereigns' of the heavenly court."
Seeing that the situation was increasingly unfavorable, the charming female cultivator spoke quickly, sharing all her deductions in one breath.
Her reasoning appeared logical, seemingly not fabricated.
"The Thirty-Six Star Sovereigns of the ancient heavenly court?"
Upon hearing this title, many golden core cultivators fell into thought, while those who had never heard of it eagerly sought out answers from others.
The treasure snatching could begin at any moment, and gentlemen should not lag behind.
"The Thirty-Six Star Sovereigns?"
Upon hearing this title, Liu Yu frowned.
After being cut off from the Central Domain, Tian Nan had experienced several major upheavals, and many records about the ancient times were lost or destroyed in the chaos, so he was not very informed on related matters.
Even after arriving in the Central Domain, although he had supplemented his knowledge, his main focus had been on the medieval and near-ancient periods, as the ancient era was simply too distant.
