The process of refining the Taiyi True Spirit Fish was even smoother than Su Ping had imagined.
Accompanied by the True Spirit Fish being completely enveloped by Su Ping’s mana and then transforming into starlight as it entered Su Ping’s body.
Su Ping immediately felt a flash of inspiration and hurriedly left the Pot Cave Heaven.
He returned to the Solar System.
A golden true spirit within Su Ping’s body couldn’t wait and shot out at near light speed, diving into the sun.
A few hours later, the golden true spirit transformed into an illusion almost identical to Su Ping, only more majestic and godlike, slowly emerging from the sun’s depths.
Slightly circulating the mana within his body, golden Great Sun Divine Light immediately covered his entire body for protection.
At the same time, a three-legged Golden Crow Dharma Aspect over ten thousand meters high appeared behind him!
This Dharma Aspect was entirely condensed with Great Sun Divine Light and Sun True Fire, reaching the realm of vividly transforming the virtual into reality.
With just a wave of the hand, it could generate a Golden Crow Domain spanning tens of thousands of miles around.
As a soul fragment of Demon Emperor Taiyi, it had already received the recognition of the unclaimed star sun in this Constant Star System.
Thus, it instantly grew from a mere true spirit into a humanoid soul body capable of summoning the Golden Crow Dharma Aspect.
"To receive recognition from a star and the infusion of star consciousness’s spiritual charm directly saves me at least a thousand years of diligent cultivation."
"This Taiyi soul fragment avatar of mine has reached at least the Seventh Tier level."
"And as a soul fragment of Demon Emperor Taiyi, even if this Seventh Tier cannot compare to the True Martial Demon Suppression Emperor or the Fox God Illusion, it shouldn’t be far off."
"And the most important point is, in this universe where I am."
"The stars among the vast cosmos aren’t just projections like in the Immortal Cultivation World’s Small Worlds."
"With billions of stars, each one can allow Demon Emperor Taiyi to gain recognition and acquire power."
"Recreating the splendor of Demon Emperor Taiyi’s past is just a matter of time, right?"
Su Ping decided to act immediately, first visiting the star systems of the Karlo Civilization, letting the soul fragment of Demon Emperor Taiyi receive the blessings of the Karlo sun.
Then he went to the Varo Civilization’s Constant Star System and received the blessings of the star there.
The soul fragment of Demon Emperor Taiyi, empowered by the strength of twenty stars, directly ascended to the eighth-tier Later Period realm.
At the eighth-tier Later Period, Su Ping estimated that even the old Heavenly Immortal who came to court death last time might not be a match for Taiyi in a one-on-one battle.
And as the soul fragment of Demon Emperor Taiyi grew.
Su Ping felt the Sun True Fire within him also thrived, growing fivefold.
Unfortunately, to continue obtaining the empowerment of star strength, he still needed to wait for a period.
Even though Su Ping, using the gravitational wave Divine Artifact obtained from the Varo Civilization, and with top-grade Spirit Stones providing energy, could already locate the space nodes within star systems, making the discovery and development of new star systems almost a template.
Regardless, every step, from traveling to space nodes, finding the resonance frequency, building space-time gates, or retrofitting exploration fleet equipment, and then reaching that unfamiliar star system, requires time.
Additionally, trying to break through from the eighth tier to the Ninth Tier, because the soul fragment of Demon Emperor Taiyi inherently has defects, solely relying on star empowerment requires more than a thousand stars to have a chance to break through with force.
Su Ping decided to simultaneously gather Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures needed for the progression of Demon Emperor Taiyi, while slightly tilting manpower and resources towards opening up new star systems.
Of course, the best would naturally be if he could fish another Taiyi True Spirit Fish after a year, to replenish the missing soul fragments of Demon Emperor Taiyi, ensuring no bottlenecks in future advancement and breakthrough.
Immortal Cultivation World.
The hustle and bustle of the Xuanling Realm finally welcomed their master once again.
Then Deacon Xiahou and others, for the first time, learned that the master also had a need for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"Sun True Gold, Nine Yang Divine Stone, Dawn Divine Light..."
"The treasures the master requests are all Yang attribute treasures, which are rare items even in the North King’s Time Domain, right?"
"It seems relying solely on Spirit Stones might not be enough to obtain them..."
Informed managers, initially at a loss, began to have their thoughts reignited after seeing the clarification.
Su Ping naturally knew that Spirit Stones were merely supplemental, specific to his situation.
The truly good items follow the principle of barter; Spirit Stones are just an add-on, a supplement.
So, this time, Su Ping had no fear of exposure risks.
He directly presented an array of Spiritual Medicines, cultivated over one to two thousand years, for exchange.
Millennial Spiritual Medicines, cherished rare species that were difficult to nurture.
Once they appeared, they stirred up a huge sensation in the Xuanling Realm.
Quickly, the news that Yang attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could be exchanged for Spiritual Medicines spread throughout the Cultivation Circles of the North King’s Time Domain.
Even some small and medium-sized sects that only occupied one or two Small Worlds heard the news that they could use Yang attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to exchange for life-extending Spiritual Medicines.
At the Mountain Gate of a dominant power in a particular Large World, the Great Light and Shadow Sect.
After the Old Sect Master heard the news, he specifically invited a few elders who were still in seclusion to a small meeting in a secret chamber.
After three days and nights of persuasion, the elders finally agreed with the Old Sect Master’s initiative to use the sect’s inventory to go to the Xuanling Realm to exchange crucial Spiritual Medicines for the Great Light and Shadow Sect.
"To gain, there must be sacrifice. If we don’t shed the sect’s blood, how can we exchange it for the hope of the sect’s further advancement?"
"Rest assured, elders, if this time acquiring the Spiritual Medicines ultimately proves to be more harmful than beneficial, I will bear all the consequences as the Sect Master!"
"Even if it means stepping down as Sect Master and going to the Underground Palace to suffer punishments for a thousand years, it won’t matter."
