2536 Secret of the Perfected Star Transformation Realm

He had only been curious and surprised when Zhou Jingjing described the Infinite Mining Area. But now, after reading some information with his own eyes, he felt that there should be Monarchs here.

Old Chen said, “This is a free gift. Before answering your question, I have a question for you. Why do you think the people who came to the Infinite Mining Area went there knowing that it was extremely dangerous?”

Although Han Fei didn’t know much about it, he knew that the City of Scavengers would send a group of Sea Establishers here every year. And these Sea Establishers were mostly peak-level Sea Establishers, or at least late-stage Sea Establishers.

Sea Establishers came here for nothing but to improve themselves and make breakthroughs. Now that a large number of Sea Establishers gathered in the Infinite Mining Area every year, it was obvious that they took fancy on the environment favorable for nurturing Sky Openers. Only when they really couldn’t be nurtured or weren’t used to the environment here would they go home.

This was the current situation of the Sea Establishers here. They came here for opportunities and to make a breakthrough.

As for Sky Openers, according to some simple descriptions, they came here mostly for exploration, but their main purpose was still to make a breakthrough or even prove Dao. From the information given to him by the old man just now, he could obtain a lot of treasures from the mine demons, including crystals that carried the essence of mineral veins, mineral crystals that strengthened the soul, blood stones that strengthened blood and Qi, and so on…

And these were treasures that could only be obtained from the mine demons. And in some undeveloped mines, one could find the ruins and remains of their predecessors. When people explored the mines, they often obtained weapons, blood and flesh crystals, and luck stones left behind by former strong masters.

Furthermore, in the places where those powerhouses perished, there were often some rare precious medicines that could be classified as Spiritual Treasure of Heaven and Earth. They were bred from the flesh and blood of former powerhouses.

These things could greatly help a Sky Opener cultivate.

And what the Infinite Mining Areas had the most were resources. To develop his Origin Sea, one needed resources. Without resources, all was empty talk.

Therefore, although the Infinite Mining Area was dangerous for Sky Openers, there were opportunities everywhere. If they wanted to grow, they were naturally happy to come here.

There were many people and places here. It was inevitable that there would be conflicts in the exploration of various ruins and mining areas. When more people died, some people would want to dig up the resources on other people’s Origin Stars, or the Origin Stars themselves. Therefore, there was a way to find other people’s Origin Stars.

And this method was in the hands of some major forces. At least, Han Fei didn’t find a way to find other people’s Origin Stars from Qing Tuo’s memories.

According to the information, in the Hundred Alliance City, there was an organization that specialized in refining Origin Stars. If you handed over the remains, within a few days, they would provide you with an Origin Star.

However, the price for that service was very expensive. Basically, no matter how many good things there were on the Origin Star, they would definitely be dug out by them immediately. You didn’t master the way to find the Origin Star, you didn’t know what was on the other party’s Origin Star, and you didn’t know how many modified stars had been molded outside the other party’s Origin Star.

Therefore, that situation would definitely be a loss.

Later, those who couldn’t find other people’s Origin Stars set up auctions for this purpose. Such auctions were held almost every once in a while.

But in any case, this was an opaque industry with windfall profits. Han Fei was tempted by it. This meant that there would be a steady stream of people sending the remains of Sky Openers to you and you didn’t need to do anything.

As for refined stars, no matter how many there were, they were rare and many people competed for them.

Han Fei could almost imagine how much he could earn from these peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm and perfected Star Transformation Realm powerhouses in the Infinite Mining Areas. As long as the Star Path was big enough, wouldn’t it be enough to support them to prove Dao?

These cultivators weren’t here to die. They definitely wanted to come here to prove Dao. Therefore, they were here for opportunities.

Han Fei was silent for a moment. “Their fundamental reason for coming here is to find opportunities, to open the sky, or prove Dao.”

Old Chen said leisurely, “It seems that you have thought of a lot of things.”

Han Fei: “But what does this have to do with whether there are Monarchs here or not?”

Old Chen asked back, “Do you know the path of Monarchs? Do you know how Monarchs can become stronger?”

Han Fei didn’t say anything, but Old Chen continued, “The opportunities we see are not of much use to Monarchs. What they need is completely different from what we need. Therefore, if Monarchs come here, they can only explore mining areas. Other things are not opportunities for them at all. As for exploring mining areas, to put it bluntly, this matter is accumulated with human lives. The more people die, the more mining areas will open. Some mining areas can’t be opened no matter how many people die. Do you think Monarchs can definitely open them?”

Han Fei shook his head. Nothing is certain. But he said, “But at least, the existence of a Monarch can greatly reduce the mortality rate of the Sea Establishers and Sky Openers here.”

Old Chen smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, first of all, Sea Establishers don’t participate in the exploration of mining areas. Secondly, which strong master doesn’t experience countless life-and-death situations? If Sky Openers don’t risk their lives, how can you expect Monarchs to risk their lives? Is it necessary? In the Infinite Mining Area, there is only one situation that will attract a Monarch, which is the discovery of some ancient ruins that even a Monarch-level powerhouse is tempted by. Then they will naturally come. Other than that, there is no reason for a Monarch to come.”

Han Fei frowned. “At least, Monarchs can guard this place and maintain the stability of their faction, right?”

Old Chen said, “If every power has a Monarch guarding them, there will be fights, and the Monarchs will definitely be implicated in the end. The war between Monarchs is devastating. Who wants to see it happen? Besides, this kind of thing happened frequently in the past.”

After a pause, Old Chen continued, “Also, there’s a rumor outside that the existence of a Monarch will attract powerful mine demons. Mine demons are very territorial. They won’t stop fighting you just because you are a Monarch. About 30,000 years ago! The major factions in the East Sea Divine Realm sent Monarchs to explore the Infinite Mining Areas. Do you know what happened in the end?”

Han Fei asked, “What happened?”

Old Chen said, “Half of them were killed or injured.”

Han Fei’s face slightly changed. “Half of them were killed or injured? What level of Monarchs are they?”

Old Chen smiled and said, “Led by Great Monarchs, the Immortal-Level cultivators tried to push forward. However, the terrifying creatures in the mining area were attracted out and the two sides fought for many days. In the end, the battle of the Monarchs caused all the places they once pushed forward to become forbidden areas that others could no longer explore. From then on, Monarchs often disappeared for no reason… Therefore, Monarchs are unwilling to come now.”

Han Fei was shocked. It seemed that this Infinite Mining Area was much more dangerous than he had imagined!

Old Chen said, “So! In summary, it’s more of a thankless task for Monarchs to participate in the Infinite Mining Area. They won’t get any treasures, and there’s a chance that they will die there. Even if they survive, the places they fought in will become forbidden areas, meaningless to other explorers, and they can’t get close to those places at all. Therefore, over time, Monarchs refuse to come here. If they want resources, they might as well go to the Sea of Stars, the Sky Crater World, and some unknown ruins in the wilderness. And the Infinite Mining Area gradually became a battlefield for Sea Establishers and Sky Openers.”

Han Fei asked, “Is it OK for Sky Openers?”

Old Chen said matter-of-factly, “Of course, Sky Openers won’t rush in stupidly. Without knowing the specific situation of a mining area and sensing the emergence of a treasure, Sky Openers won’t stupidly push into the Infinite Mining Area. Besides, even if they do push, they will usually join forces to fight and divide the spoils. If a force wants to conquer a mining area, this force has to enter the top 100 forces at least.”

Although Old Chen’s explanation was very logical, Han Fei felt that there was something wrong. Unfortunately, he didn’t know what the problem was, so he could only drop it.

Just when Han Fei was about to end the topic, Old Chen suddenly said, “Fellow Daoist, are you interested in knowing a secret?”

“Huh?”

Han Fei couldn’t help tilting his head and looking at Old Chen, who said with a smile, “Secrets always have a price. This secret has a different price for different people. It may be worthless for those below the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm, but for those in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm or perfected Star Transformation Realm, this secret will be very valuable.”

Han Fei asked, “How much is it?”

Old Chen looked at Han Fei and extended two fingers. “Because you’ve spent a lot of money on me, I’ll give you a cheaper price. Five refined stars with a radius of 250,000 kilometers, or two with a radius of 360,000 kilometers. Of course, if the stars don’t have a heavenly-number star transformation, you’ll have to give me more of them. Believe me, you won’t lose anything if you learn this secret, because normally no one will tell you this secret.”

“Why don’t you just rob me?”

Han Fei didn’t know what to say. How much do I need to pay for three pieces of information? You charge me so many refined stars for one secret? Are you robbing me?

Old Chen said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist, believe me, this secret may not be worth this price to others, but to you, it is definitely worth it.”

Han Fei said, “Interesting. Then I’d like to hear why the news is worth it for me.”

Old Chen said, “Because your killing intent is too strong. In the Infinite Mining Area, sometimes it’s not a good thing.”

Han Fei said, “With this price, you have to give me more information, right?”

Old Chen said, “How about this? You can listen to part of it first. I only want two refined stars with a 250,000-kilometer star transformation. The price can’t be changed. We’re all people who want to prove our Dao. We won’t do anything to ruin our reputation just for a few refined stars, will we?”

Han Fei narrowed his eyes slightly. This old man was not simple. He was definitely an old fox. Having guessed that Han Fei would be curious, he asked him if he wanted to listen to his secret first. If he didn’t think it was worth it, he didn’t need to give him a single cent.

Since Old Chen had said so, how could Han Fei not listen?

Han Fei smiled casually. “Senior, can you give me another cup?”

Old Chen poured wine for Han Fei with a smile as he said, “Fellow Daoist, you have to be careful of those strong masters in the perfected Star Transformation Realm.”

Han Fei took a sip. “I don’t understand. Senior, please enlighten me.”

Old Chen asked, “Have you heard that there are many dying and declining Perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators who like to come to the Infinite Mining Areas?”

Han Fei narrowed his eyes. “Yes.”

Old Chen shook his head. “Wrong. Those who are really going to die all run to the Sea of Stars. None of them will run to the Infinite Mining Area.”

Han Fei didn’t speak but just looked at Old Chen.

Then, Old Chen said, “This is a big secret, because all those perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators who came to the Infinite Mining Area can basically prove Dao, and their success rate is not low at all.”

Buzz!

Han Fei was refreshed and stared at Old Chen. This was indeed a big secret.

When he killed Mo Xuan and the other two, he felt that these three people were actually very strong. If he didn’t have the Void Stealing Technique, it would be very difficult to directly kill these three people with just the Star Fist.

Even so, they were not qualified to enter the Infinite Mining Area, which was a problem in itself.

However, Han Fei had always thought that there were also strong and weak people in the perfected Star Transformation Realm. However, it shouldn’t be to the extent that many perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators didn’t dare to enter the Infinite Mining Area.

Han Fei took a deep breath. “They can prove Dao, but they don’t, and still stay here. What’s their purpose?”

Old Chen smiled and said, “Have you heard of the Great Dao Lock? When a Sky Opener cultivates to the perfected Star Transformation Realm, they can’t prove Dao yet, but as long as they cultivate, their strength won’t stagnate. Then over time, their strength will exceed the ordinary perfected Star Transformation Realm. And when they reach a certain limit, the Dao Proving Heavenly Tribulation will descend, and then what should they do? Naturally it’s to seal their strength in their bodies with the Star Great Dao Lock… How about it? Fellow Daoist, judging from your strength, you should be reaching the perfected Star Transformation Realm soon. Not everyone can have the sealing technique of this Great Dao Lock. It’s fate that makes us meet. The price I charge you is really not expensive.”

“Great Dao Locks?”

Han Fei took a deep look at Old Chen, speechless.

Why should he ask the old man about this? He had already told him the secret. Wouldn’t it be nice to ask his senior brothers and sisters about it later? It would be free of charge.

“Gulp~ Ah~”

Han Fei finished the wine in his cup in one gulp, threw down the five lotus stars, and said, “It’s too expensive to afford. Senior, since you’ve reminded me, I’d better figure out the rest of the secrets by myself!”

With that, Han Fei turned around and left.

Old Chen was dumbfounded. F*ck? It wasn’t easy for him to meet such a spendthrift. He had tried so hard to persuade him, but this guy refused.

Old Chen’s face turned green.

After a while, Old Chen finally recovered and sighed. “I hope this is good karma.”
