Ye Xiao opened his eyes and stared at the Great Star Lord for a few seconds and finally asked: "If I join the Star Domain, I wonder what benefits the Great Star Lord will give me?"
? Upon hearing Ye Xiao's question, the Great Star Lord secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He understood that as long as he paid a reward that satisfied the other party, this matter would most likely be settled.
The Great Star Lord took out a stone that emitted a dense purple light and threw it to Ye Xiao.
"This is..." Ye Xiao felt the terrifying energy contained within the stone and was startled. The energy contained within this stone was not only majestic but also of very high quality. It was completely different from the Divine Stones Ye Xiao had seen.
Ye Xiao knew this world doesn't have True Essence. So, martial artists could only absorb Spirit Energy to increase their cultivation. Even Rulers, Exalted Rulers, and Gods can only absorb the Spirit Energy to increase their cultivation base.
Because of this, they are too weak compared to the martial artists of the same cultivation base of Heavens.
Even a God here would be defeated by an ordinary Heavenly Divine Lord of Divine Realm. This world was this weak because of the lack of True Essence. Maybe, this was one of the reasons why Ye Xiao's cultivation speed was this fast. It is because he was not absorbing the True Essence but Spirit Energy.
Because of the lack of Spirit Energy, he simply didn't need to cultivate the Dao Manifestation Realm which could turn an Immortal's body, soul, and energy into Divine Body, Divine Soul, and True Essence.
One can directly step into the Divine Lord Realm after breaking past the barrier standing at the Late Stage of the Ancient Immortal Realm.
Although they are said to be Divine Lord, Worldly Divine Lord, and Heavenly Divine Lord, in reality, the word 'Divine' was really not suitable for the martial artists of this world.
So, it was really not surprising for him to be able to cultivate to Nine Mark Heavenly Divine Lord from the level of Immortal Foundation Realm in just a short period of twenty years. After all, he also received the support of the world itself.
"This is the Impeccable Energy Stone." The great star said.
"Impeccable Energy Stone?" Ye Xiao's eyes narrowed. This was the first time he had heard of this stone. Even in the memories of three Ancient Gods, he was unable to look for the three words 'Impeccable Energy Stone'.
The Great Star Lord started saying: "I don't know anything about the world you have come from. I have only heard of other worlds from the stories told by Gods and Ancient Gods. It is said that there are many worlds out there but we are all trapped in this world so we are unable to visit any other world."
"From the expression on your face, I can tell that you have never seen an Impeccable Energy Stone before. An Impeccable Energy Stone is a rare and could be said to be evolved version of High Grade Immortal Stones. As you know, Immortal Stones are divided into Low, Mid, and High Grades. Above High Grade Spirit Stone is Impeccable Energy Stone. Immortal Stones become useless after cultivating to Nine Mark Heavenly Divine Lord Realm. If a Nine Mark Heavenly Divine Lord wants to become a Ruler and if a Ruler Realm and above martial artists wants to increase their cultivation further, absorbing spirit energy from the air and relying on Immortal Stones is not enough, they need Impeccable Energy Stones to support their cultivation. Only by relying on Impeccable Energy Stones could they continue cultivating further at a normal speed. Only geniuses' speed of cultivation would be slightly faster."
Ye Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard these words from Great Star Lord. Maybe, the Impeccable Energy Stone was exclusive to this world only.
Ye Xiao was not surprised when the Great Star Lord said that Immortal Stones could support a martial artist to cultivate to Nine Mark Heavenly Divine Lord. It is because he knew that the 'Divine' Lords in this world are not true Divine beings. They don't have a single trace of the divine in their bodies. Since this world doesn't have True Essence, there is no Divine Stone in this world. Instead, there are Impeccable Energy Stone that contains denser and purer spirit energy than an Immortal Stone.
As for Spirit Stones, it is ranked even below Immortal Stones. There is simply no need to talk about it.
Ye Xiao had already cultivated to the Nine Mark Heavenly Divine Lord. He was really in need of these Impeccable Energy Stones to become a Ruler and cultivate further.
Talking about cultivating Divine Lord Realm, Worldly Divine Lord Realm, Heavenly Divine Lord Realm, becoming a Ruler and cultivating further, since the cultivation path of this world is fake, there is no need for a martial artist to cultivate Divine Marks, awaken Nascent Soul, give birth to Dao Fruit and comprehend the Profound Meanings of Laws in order to cultivate further.
A Divine Lord, Worldly Divine Lord, and Heavenly Divine Lord of this world only cultivates Immortal Marks instead of Divine Marks. As for Nascent Soul and Dao Fruit, they don't even know the existence of these things. To them, Nascent Soul and Dao Fruit are foreign words that they have never heard of, and the Profound Meaning of Laws is the same.
Ye Xiao no longer had any bottlenecks because of the support of the world itself. As long as he had enough energy, he would be able to smoothly breakthrough and cultivate further. Ye Xiao estimated that a few hundred Impeccable Energy Stones would be enough for him to break through and become a Ruler.
"I wonder how many Impeccable Energy Stones can you give me?" Ye Xiao played with the Impeccable Energy Stones as he asked.
"Star Lord's standard is to get one hundred Impeccable Energy Stones every year." The Great Star Lord replied.
Ye Xiao's face twitched when he heard this. One hundred Impeccable Energy Stones every year? This must be a joke.
Seeing Ye Xiao's expression, Great Star Lord smiled bitterly. "Do you think it's easy to give birth to these Impeccable Energy Stones? I've already told you that it is a rare treasure. Impeccable Energy Stones are very difficult to obtain. This is why the Impeccable Energy Stones are considered rare treasures."
Ye Xiao's expression relaxed slightly when he heard this. "So that's how it is. But one hundred Impeccable Energy Stones every year is still too little. To be honest, I'm in urgent need of these Impeccable Energy Stones, for I can sense my breakthrough is near. I'm about to become a Ruler. If you can give me more Impeccable Energy Stones, I can swear, as long as I'm in the Star Domain, I'll do my best to protect the Star Domain."
"This..." The Great Star Lord didn't expect Ye Xiao to demand more. After pondering for a moment, the Great Star Lord flicked his sleeve, and 149 more Impeccable Energy Stones appeared in front of him. Giving them to Ye Xiao, he said, "I can only give 150 Impeccable Energy Stones and it is only for this year. From the next year, you will receive only 100 Impeccable Energy Stones a year just like other Star Lords."
"But don't worry, there are some other ways to obtain these stones, you'll know it in the future." Saying this, the Great Star Lord gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I only hope that you will fulfil the promise you just made and will do your best to protect the Star Domain along with me and other Star Lords."
"I have always kept my promise. Great Star Lord, you can rest assured. I'll definitely not go against my words." Ye Xiao once again promised Great Star Lord that he'll not go against the promise he made, and will definitely do his best to protect the Star Domain.
Great Star Lord also showed a smile on his face after hearing this. Star Domain was the weakest among all the Domains in this world. Ye Xiao was already slightly more powerful than a Ruler with his current cultivation base at the Nine Mark Heavenly Divine Lord. If he can become a Ruler, doesn't it mean Ye Xiao could even rival Exalted Rulers?
With Ye Xiao here, the strength of Star Domain increased by another layer.
However, if you know, can you tell me more about Evil-eyed Lions." Ye Xiao was very curious about the Evil-eyed Lions. He asked Great Star Ruler to tell him more about Evil-eyed Lions because he wanted to know what was the black crystal in his hand?
Before this, he was worried that someone would find out the problem, so he didn't go ask the City Lord. Now that he had decided to join the Star Palace and stay in the Star Domain for a while, and the Great Star Lord had already known that he was an outsider, Ye Xiao no longer had any scruples and asked about his doubts.
