Strong Forest Star is a vast Star Planet, which is a certain distance away from the Continent where Peter Brown originally resided. Some Cultivators would leave the Cultivation Continent and venture into the space in search of their immortal fate.
Cultivators weren’t actually capable of completely abstaining from food. Though such ascetic practices existed, more people preferred to sit in a celestial restaurant to eat and chat.
When Peter arrived at one of the restaurants, he found the business to be extraordinarily booming.
Sitting there, Peter began once again to inquire about recent happenings from the waiter.
"There’s not much going on here. The influence of the Tribulation Association doesn’t reach this place, so their affairs have long been forgotten by people."
Hearing the waiter’s account, Peter was taken aback, having not expected the Tribulation Association’s power to be so weak on such a planet.
However, this was good news for Peter, and he decided to let go of this matter.
"Do you know if there are any planets with immensely powerful thunder?" Peter asked casually.
No sooner had he asked the question than a plump man at the next table chimed in with a smile, "Fellow Damian, you must be thinking about exploring the mysteries of Thunder Star, right?"
Peter quickly responded, "I’d like to ask for guidance. What’s the situation with Thunder Star?"
As he spoke, he said to the waiter, "I’ll cover this fellow Damian’s bill."
Seeing Peter’s generous offer, the fat man laughed heartily, "I’m Bailey Simpson, I’ve had the honor to meet you, fellow Damian."
Upon hearing the name, Peter looked over at the young man, thinking the lad’s name was a bit odd.
Nevertheless, Peter courteously replied, "Damian Bailey, why don’t you join me? It’s my treat."
Bailey Simpson laughed and, without any pretense, walked over and sat at Peter’s table, saying, "Thank you, fellow Damian. It’s not that I, old Bailey, like to brag, but there’s really little in the Cultivation World that I don’t know."
"I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for years, so I really don’t know much about the outside affairs. My name is Peter Brown."
As the wine was served, Peter said, "Let’s eat and talk."
After tasting the wine, Bailey Simpson said, "Fellow Damian, are you planning to go to Thunder Star in search of immortal fate?"
"Not exactly, I’m just curious about the situation on Thunder Star."
Bailey Simpson looked at Peter and explained, "Let me tell you about Thunder Star. It’s not just any Star Planet, it’s completely a domain of thunder, with global Heavenly Thunder every day. These descending thunders are extraordinary, with the power akin to Heavenly Disaster. Yet, do you know? Despite the powerful thunder striking the planet, it remains unscathed."
Peter was invigorated by the prospect. If such a place truly existed, his worries about immortal power would be over.
"Then why do people still go to that planet?"
"The peculiar thing is, every once in a while, that planet will spew out a Spiritual Treasure, and it’s even said to have produced Immortal Artifacts. If you’re lucky, you might just come across an Immortal Artifact. Wouldn’t everyone be interested in going there?"
"Can it really spew out these things?"
Peter was astonished, the place appeared to be shrouded in mystery.
Bailey Simpson said, "It’s really true. Many people have obtained them. The most intense outbursts happen a few days each year, and many people go there during that time, hoping for some luck."
"This truly is a mysterious place!"
"Haha, I knew you’d be curious about that place. I’m actually planning to go myself. How about we go together?"
After finishing their meal, the two set out together.
"Fellow Damian Peter, that place is a bit peculiar. You cannot reach it through a teleportation formation. You’ll have to fly there, and it’ll probably take us about a week."
Indeed, a mysterious place!
As Bailey Simpson spoke, he summoned a flying vehicle that resembled a UFO and said, "This is my Disc Treasure. How about we sit inside and talk on the way there?"
Peter didn’t hesitate; he could tell that the young man was hospitable.
To be honest, Peter had never really had true friends in the Cultivation World. Apart from those who were coerced into submission by his power, there were only a few women who clung to his strength, without true emotional connection.
Seeing the young man’s hospitality, Peter was pleased.
The Disc Treasure was a spacious flying vehicle with several rooms. Bailey Simpson offered one of the luxurious rooms to Peter.
Once inside, Peter, being an Alchemist, surveyed and investigated the Disc Treasure with his Divine Sense. It seemed to have no issues.
Of course, even if there were any problems, Peter wasn’t afraid. With his Immortal Power, it wouldn’t be difficult to destroy something of magic treasure level.
Fortunately, Bailey Simpson had no ulterior motives and was sincerely inviting Peter to join him.
The two sat inside as the Disc Treasure automatically set off in the predetermined direction.
"It’s all set now. We just need to wait. The direction is set for automatic flight. You don’t know, many people are heading there this time, and many are masters who have gone beyond crossing tribulation," Bailey Simpson mentioned.
Peter had already assessed Bailey Simpson’s cultivation level, which was also at the Golden Core Level.
"Will our Golden Core Stage cultivation face any issues there?"
Upon hearing Peter’s question, Bailey Simpson replied seriously, "That’s another special feature of Thunder Star. Once you’re there, you cannot use your True Qi. What matters more is the strength of one’s physical body."
"I’m wondering, fellow Damian, how good is your Body Refinement? If you haven’t reached the Body Refinement standards of the Golden Core Stage, then it’s better not to go. Look at me, I forgot to ask about this earlier."
Peter said, "No worries, my Body Refinement has indeed reached the early stages of Golden Core."
"Then all’s well. As long as you’re at the Golden Core level, you have nothing to fear once there. You’re not aware – the energy within the Thunder Star region is very peculiar, believed by many to be Immortal Power. However, no one has been able to absorb it."
Moved by this information, Peter pondered, "Can’t Mahayana masters absorb it when they go there?"
"Haha, that’s another unique aspect. It’s a one-way ticket to death for Mahayana masters. There have been Mahayana masters who ventured there, but guess what happened? A tremendous amount of Immortal Power surged into their bodies, and in an instant, their bodies exploded due to the overwhelming energy."
Such a thing happened?
At this, Peter also began to hesitate. His Immortal techniques were designed to absorb Immortal Power in large quantities. What if the energy automatically rushed in? Would he be able to withstand it?
Despite his momentary doubt, Peter knew that the path of cultivation was a path of no return. It made no sense to shrink back without even seeing what lay ahead.
