Chapter 651: 653: Divine Punishment Star (Third Update)



After some deliberation, he had a hunch that Lin Zhen was originally a World King, and the one messing around in the Star System Stage must be his clone!

When he thought about how he was being toyed with by a World King, he fumed with anger.

“Son of a bitch! No wonder I could never quite beat you. Turns out you were just digging a hole for me, deliberately scamming me out of my money!”

Although angry, Liang Chen didn’t lose all rationality.

Since the other party was a World King, he was definitely not a match for them. The World King of the Purple Gold Divine Clan was no joke.

As for this Star System Stage clone, it was not easy to deal with either. Not to mention that it was difficult for him to win, but after Lin Zhen was promoted to Great Elder, it wouldn’t be long before two Longevity Realm experts would come to guard him. By that time, Liang Chen would probably never have a chance for revenge.

Now this warrant was also useless. It was impossible to arrest a Great Elder of the Association of Alchemists, even if he was wanted by the Empire, because the Association wouldn’t allow it.

“No, I can’t handle this on my own. I have to go back and tell my mother.”

Just as he was about to go back and find Ning Qingxuan, Liang Chen stopped.

The words “Purple Gold Divine Clan” were taboo in front of Ning Qingxuan. Unless it was certain that this member of the Purple Gold Divine Clan was the one called Hua Hua Taisui, no one else should mention the Purple Gold Divine Clan in front of her.

“Hua Hua Taisui… and Lin Zhen can use the Finger Sword Qi too.”

After reading the introduction on the warrant, another idea surfaced in Liang Chen’s heart.

However, there was insufficient evidence for this idea. Eager for revenge, Liang Chen decided to investigate further.

If he wanted to get to the bottom of it, Liang Chen couldn’t stay in Nan Liang any longer. He decided to go to Xianle County to find out how Gu Yunting died in the first place and to investigate Lin Zhen’s past.

“Lin Zhen, if it is as I suspected, then you’re as good as dead!”

Liang Chen was a man of action. He knew that the investigation might not be easy, as many clues had disappeared over time. But he had to do it.

Not only did he have to do it, but he also had to do it quickly, because in three years, the Divine Punishment Star would be open, and that was an event Liang Chen had been looking forward to for a long time. He needed to return before then.

*********

There were legends in the Original World that the Longevity for the Martial Artist was not the end. The strength of Longevity experts also varied, and there was a realm above Longevity.

But to continue advancing beyond Longevity, one must refine a Divine Body before entering the Longevity Realm, or they would forever be stuck in Longevity Realm.

The process of refining a Divine Body was extremely difficult. The most common method was to enter the Divine Punishment Star when it was open in the Endless Star Sea. The achievements inside would determine the potential of one’s Divine Body and how far one could go in the future.

In Nan Liang, Crown Princess Ning Qingxuan, for example, missed the opportunity to refine her Divine Body in the Divine Punishment Star. The Qingye Sect had used their entire force to help her refine her Divine Body, allowing her to intimidate other Longevity Warriors at a young age.

The so-called Divine Punishment Star was a Dangerous place where a god with supreme power brought divine punishment onto a planet, causing great changes in the planet. Everything became unknown, and it was a perilous hell. To refine a Divine Body, one must go to this planet.

Moreover, not just anyone could enter the Divine Punishment Star when it descended. The vastness of the Original World was unimaginable. No matter how big a planet was, it couldn’t accommodate that many people, so there were always limits to the number of people who could enter.

Take Nan Liang Empire, for example. There were only a thousand slots available!

Don’t think that a thousand slots is a lot. Nan Liang, a country much larger than Fire Kirin Empire, had a population many times greater than that of Fire Kirin.

When those thousand slots were distributed, it meant that only one person in ten trillion would get a chance!

There were too many hidden forces within an empire. Even Liang Chen, an Imperial Grandson, wouldn’t have been able to secure a spot at the Divine Punishment Star if it weren’t for Ning Qingxuan’s help.

Liang Chen knew that another Imperial Grandson, who was even favored by the Emperor, couldn’t get a slot either!

As for others wanting a slot, it was simply out of the question.

So Lin Zhen’s matter needed resolving, but it couldn’t delay Liang Chen’s trip to the Divine Punishment Star. That was the bottom line.

********

Lin Zhen’s days in the Association of Alchemists had calmed down a bit.

As a Great Elder, he was almost undisturbed, and he concentrated on studying Alchemy every day.

Liang Chen had never challenged him again, and no one challenged his spot in the Star System Arena. Lin Zhen simply withdrew his challenge platform.

His current goal was to enter the Star Domain Stage.

After reaching Tier Nine Star System, Lin Zhen needed some time to digest the medicinal power before he could devour more pills to become a Domain King. The transition period for the medicinal power hadn’t arrived yet and would take about half a year more.

During this time, Lin Zhen accumulated a large amount of medicine daily and handed it over to the association for sales.

The Great Elder’s reputation was still very useful. What’s more, Lin Zhen’s medicines had minimal side effects, making them very popular in the market. The situation quickly improved, and the daily profits reached millions or even tens of millions.

Every month, Lin Zhen would put out an improved Divine Power Pill for auction.

This kind of medicine aroused great enthusiasm in the Nan Liang market.

Especially for the first person who bought the Divine Power Pill for three billion, with it, they exacted revenge. After that, the price of elixirs skyrocketed.

The Divine Power Pill in the second month sold for seven billion, and the third month reached ten billion.

After that, the lowest transaction price remained at ten billion.

While making a lot of money every day, Lin Zhen was still accumulating wealth and elixirs. Once he entered the Domain King Level, the elixirs he needed to advance to Domain King Level Nine were all prepared.

News came from the Association of Alchemists. Now there’s a shortage of Longevity Warriors, and the alchemists have already recalled one from each of their major peers. At present, the association can only provide Lin Zhen with one bodyguard.

This news was brought by Nalan Chenxi. Just as Lin Zhen needed a bodyguard, the association adjusted its system. Moreover, the bodyguard hadn’t been dispatched yet, and he felt somewhat apologetic.

Hearing Nalan Chenxi’s words, Lin Zhen smiled: “Brother, this is not something you can decide. There is nothing to apologize for.”

Nalan Chenxi chuckled and said to Lin Zhen: “Little brother, actually I think there’s nothing wrong with not having a bodyguard for now. No one dares to trouble you in the alchemist’s association every day. With this opportunity, you can negotiate terms with the association.”

“Oh, what should I discuss?” Lin Zhen asked.

“The absence of a Longevity Realm bodyguard in exchange for a spot in Divine Punishment Star.”

Hearing this topic, Lin Zhen fell silent.

He had thought about this issue for a long time as well. The spots of the Divine Punishment Star were now the most sought-after things.

In the black market, the price of a spot on the Divine Punishment Star had been driven to an astronomical price – 50 billion! This was the price someone initiated at the beginning, but there was more demand than supply. Afterwards, the price kept climbing, and there’s still no transaction record to this day.

However, Lin Zhen had been busy with alchemy recently and didn’t know much about this matter. He took this opportunity to ask Nalan Chenxi.

“President, what is going on with the Divine Punishment Star?”

“It is said that at the beginning of the Original World, there were gods with unimaginable powers in the universe.”

“The gods watched over everything in the world, giving people opportunities beyond Longevity and a chance to ascend to divinity. That opportunity lies in the Divine Punishment Star.”

“Every hundred thousand years, the gods will grant a chance to refine the divine body on a particular planet. The people of that planet must have offended the gods in some way. After the opportunity to refine the divine body descends, everything on that planet will be destroyed, turning it into an extremely dangerous place. The opportunity to refine the divine body is hidden in some places on this planet. This is the origin of the Divine Punishment Star.”

Finally understanding, Lin Zhen asked, “Is the opportunity to refine the divine body limited in quantity?”

“Yes, according to historical records, there are only a hundred opportunities to refine the divine body in each event. There are sixty Primary Divine Body spots, thirty Intermediate Divine Body spots, nine Advanced Divine Body spots, and one Super Divine Body refining opportunity.”

“Martial artists from various places will compete for these opportunities here. Only those who win one of the hundred spots will have a chance to transcend the Longevity Realm and ascend to higher positions. This is an indispensable part of the process.”

Lin Zhen looked at Nalan Chenxi: “How about you, President…?”

“Sigh~! My life wasn’t timed well. Although I am over twenty thousand years old and have cultivated to the Longevity Realm, I no longer have the opportunity to go to the Divine Punishment Star. Otherwise, I would fight for it at any cost.”

“If I give up on having a Longevity Realm bodyguard now, can I get an opportunity to go to the Divine Punishment Star?”

“Merely giving up the bodyguard may not be enough. You should know how much the spots of the Divine Punishment Star are worth nowadays. However, your case is rather special. A Peak Level 6 Alchemist at just over a thousand years old is almost unheard of within the association. I’ll recommend you, and if you can put in some more money, it should be about right.”

“How much money will it take?”

“About three hundred billion. If you have three hundred billion, you should be able to secure this opportunity.”

“Entering the Divine Punishment Star and competing with the geniuses of the entire Original World, how long would it take?” Lin Zhen pondered.

If Lin Zhen didn’t have his alter ego, he believed he might not have the qualifications to participate in the competition. However, with his alter ego, Hua Hua Taisui, he felt that he could give it a try.

After all, among the World King powerhouses, Hua Hua Taisui’s alter ego was a top-notch existence.

The only problem was that the two Ice Soul God Needles couldn’t be unsealed for the time being.

However, this did not hinder Lin Zhen’s determination to try. If he missed the Divine Punishment Star this time, there might not be another opportunity!

“Alright, President, I agree!”
