Chapter 1981: 22: Star Annihilation Dharma Assembly, Taoist Book Manifested!

"Currently, the Empire has seven major ancient roads. Assuming the Ten Directions First Divination is absolutely accurate, just these seven existing major ancient roads are far from meeting the needs of the entire Xuanling Star Domain.""In the future, there might be more major ancient roads. I think constructing another star road here from the Annihilation Star Corridor would be more convenient and save a lot of costs."

"If we can open it up and make it a major ancient road, the emergence of several new Emperor-level families is entirely possible."

"Once built, everyone here will find it hard to be poor in the future!"

On Crystal Island, in a private space, dozens of Star Mirrors surrounded Zhao Xing, and many human figures appeared within the Star Mirrors.

Du Yun, Tuoson, Youling Fairy... all these partners were listening to Zhao Xing’s plans for the future.

"Zhao Xing, what you’re saying is all based on the assumption that the Annihilation Star Corridor can be developed successfully, and it must have sufficient value to transform into a major ancient road."

"I’m not questioning you... but currently, the development of the Annihilation Star Corridor indeed faces many difficulties." Someone raised a concern; he was Qi Tian of the Four Seasons Palace.

Zhao Xing turned to face the Star Mirror where Qi Tian was: "Brother Qi has made a good point. I wanted to briefly outline for everyone some of the objective problems encountered in the development of this ancient road."

"Clap!"

Zhao Xing snapped his fingers, and a three-dimensional map appeared in front of everyone.

It was a long band of shattered stars, part of which was spinning irregularly, like a twisted tunnel, with star debris colliding, and explosions seemed to happen constantly, with material suddenly disappearing or appearing.

"The first issue is the star-moving challenge."

"The Annihilation Star Corridor is a ruin formed by the collapse of top-level Boundary Stars and Yin Yang Stars."

"Within its range, there’s rarely a Sun Star or Taiyin Star to be seen."

"As we all know, establishing a permanent survival base in the Desolate Domain can’t be done without Yin Yang Stars."

"Otherwise, not only can’t we grow food, but the cultivators’ strength would also decline."

"As a result, a Reincarnation Realm expert could only exert Tao Domain Realm strength, and a Tao Domain Realm cultivator could only exert Origin Realm strength."

The Yin and Yang give birth to the Five Elements, the union of Yin and Yang gives birth to all things... this is an eternal truth of the universe. From the perspective of life development, regions without Sun Stars and Taiyin Stars can’t be called habitable territories, and it is extremely difficult for life to be born there.

Supplying food would cause costs to skyrocket.

From a cultivation standpoint, the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm and the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm already demonstrate that the Yin Yang Dao is an indispensable cornerstone.

In territories where these two Dao are absent or not evident, it’s as if you’ve knocked down or removed a load-bearing wall from the cultivation system.

Imagine a Reincarnation Realm strong person suddenly losing their experiences in the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm and the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, drastically reducing their understanding of the Yin Yang Dao. This would obviously lead to a significant decline in their strength.

In short, top-level Sun and Taiyin stars are not only the foundation of survival but also indispensable for cultivation.

This is also why in the Heavenly Time Sect’s theory, the "Extreme Star" is frequently mentioned, and the search for Extreme Stars is considered the ultimate goal. Because the "Extreme Star" is bound to provide the strongest Dao Realm insights.

"The most cost-effective way to build a survival base in the Desolate Domain is to move and settle a star system."

"In a spiritual energy territory, moving stars is a simple matter; even a Tao Domain Realm cultivator can easily relocate a Sun Star and a Taiyin Star."

"But in the Desolate Domain, the moving difficulty increases."

"Of course, the main challenge is the unique properties of the Annihilation Star Corridor."

"Once a new Sun Star or Taiyin Star is relocated here, it will collapse within a few hundred to a thousand years."

"So moving stars has become a major issue."

Pausing briefly, Zhao Xing zoomed in on the map, focusing on a small Star Land.

"Take a look, this is a small survival base built by the four families, where there are no existing Sun or Taiyin stars, and they used large Daoist Soldiers, Sun Star Lamps, and Taiyin Star Lamps to replace the Yin Yang Stars."

"With the Array and the Yin Yang Dao present in the Daoist Soldiers, they stabilized the surrounding space-time, turning chaotic Dao into a Dao that can be sensed and utilized, transforming chaotic voids into stable voids."

"And the basic cost for such a small survival base, just counting the two types of star lamps and the Yin Yang Cycle Array, is 880,000 Five Emperors’ Money, and that’s not even considering maintenance costs."

"Moreover, its usage period is just ten thousand years, after which everything needs to be replaced."

Qi Tian continued his role as the comedic relief, asking, "Mr. Zhao, if we were to follow the four major families’ methods, wouldn’t the money we have now run out before the Desolate Third Epoch?"

Zhao Xing humorously retorted, "Of course, if we did it the way those four silly pigs did, no amount would be enough. Their withdrawal was precisely because they saw it as a money-burning bottomless pit."

"Hahahaha~" Everyone burst into laughter.

Calling the four families silly pigs, only Zhao Xing would dare say such a thing.

Though it was unclear where Zhao Xing’s confidence came from, indulging in such talk was exhilarating.

Qi Tian also joked, "Mr. Zhao, they probably think the same about us, hahaha."

Zhao Xing glanced at Qi Tian.

This guy was getting too into his role!

That line wasn’t in the script Zhao Xing had given him.

At this moment, the second comedic relief, Xu Youling, chimed in, "So, Mr. Zhao, you have a better way, don’t you?"

"Yes, of course, we can’t do it like that," Zhao Xing replied, "The Annihilation Star Corridor is essentially an environmental issue."
