Chapter 422 - 415: Reunion
"Black Continent..."
"In ancient times, that continent was ruled by the Celestial Demon Ancestor ’La,’ known as the Master of Desolation. And now, the Black Continent is the most underdeveloped region in the world, shrouded in the shadows of war, poverty, and disease. It’s highly likely that the fuse to ignite global chaos is buried there."
"It seems the Celestial Demon and the Starry Sky Country’s next major plans are likely related to the Black Continent, and they will probably involve the Celestial Demon Ancestor’s Sealing Realm Image."
the guide said.
"What do I need to do now?"
Li Qingxuan asked.
"You don’t need to do anything. In fact, there’s nothing you can do. Let the protagonists of this era judge for themselves. All you need to do is find a way to relay this information to them."
"Now, I will teach you how to use the power of the Pure White Dream Realm to enter dreams."
the guide said.

「Shangjing Prefecture, Secret Inspection Bureau Headquarters.」
Zhou Yuanjue was once again in a state of seclusion. The Human Life Research Committee had been formally established, and the global situation was at a stalemate. The Martial Arts University was also gradually getting on the right track, with exchange delegations sent by various countries taking up residence and injecting new vitality into the entire Martial Arts Realm.
One could say that the Donghua Martial Arts Realm was currently in an exceptionally lively phase. Through these exchanges, countless top-tier Martial Artists found inspiration, achieved breakthroughs, and strode toward transcending their limits.
During this time, his young assistant, Ning Muqing, was not often by his side, only appearing for important matters. Although she was his assistant, she was also an outstanding Martial Artist herself. Now, faced with such a grand occasion, she also needed to seize her own opportunities.
As for Zhou Yuanjue, he was further perfecting his Star Cells to make himself even stronger.
After his battle with Ludi in his Shiva God state, he came to a profound understanding: no matter how perfect rapid advancements in strength seemed, they would ultimately have their flaws.
Previously, it was precisely because of a subtle flaw in his Star Cell resonance that he was at a huge disadvantage against the Shiva God’s Destruction Chain. It reached the point where he had no choice but to fight to a mutually destructive stalemate, barely scraping out a victory.
In the future, he would likely face even more powerful existences, beings who surpassed the First Generation and Celestial Phenomenons. He couldn’t guarantee that opponents of that caliber wouldn’t be able to exploit the flaws in his abilities, and he wasn’t willing to gamble on it.
Therefore, he could only invest more energy into perfecting the construction of his Star Cells.
During this period, he turned down all activities, even refusing requests for an audience from the representatives of various national exchange delegations. He seized this rare moment of peace to enter seclusion.
More than half a month passed. The effects of his seclusion—in which he worked day and night, almost to the point of madness—were obvious.
THUMP-THUMP! THUMP-THUMP!!
Inside the training room, Zhou Yuanjue was bare-chested, revealing a powerful physique and toned muscles. A dazzling Starlight bloomed from the area over his heart. If anyone could see through his flesh, they would discover that his heart had almost completely transformed into Star Cells!
The heart is one of the most important core organs in the human body. In cultivation methods similar to the Arhat Golden Body, the "Arhat-ization" of the heart is the most difficult and perilous part of the practice, requiring the most time.
But once the magnetic transformation of the heart’s cells was complete, given the heart’s crucial role in the body’s energy supply system, the magnetic transformation of cells in other parts of the body would be greatly accelerated!
At this moment, with his heart now completely composed of Star Cells, Zhou Yuanjue felt his cardiovascular system was stronger than ever before.
Each beat of his heart was like the core of a furnace, transporting immense energy throughout his body. Furthermore, the magnetic resonance structure emitted by the entire heart was denser, faster, and much harder to break.
His stamina, explosive power, and other abilities were all further enhanced. The stamina drain from his body’s Star Transformation was also reduced by nearly a third!
’Next, all I have to do is use my heart to induce Star Transformation in the cells of my entire body...’
’At that time, I might truly touch the absolute peak of the Celestial Phenomenon level and glimpse the form of the second shackle!’
"Hm?"
While in his state of cultivation, Zhou Yuanjue suddenly sensed a peculiar magnetic field fluctuation.
It felt like an invitation, hazy and indistinct, like a dream.
He seemed to have encountered this kind of remote invitation before, during his first remote conversation with the Chief Commissioner. However, the Chief Commissioner’s power had since swelled to an unknown realm along with Donghua’s rising prestige, so he no longer needed to go through such a process.
’A dream... a magnetic field...’
’Who on earth is sending this invitation?’
A trace of curiosity couldn’t help but rise in Zhou Yuanjue’s heart.
He pondered for a moment, then slightly expanded his own magnetic field, letting it entangle with the magnetic field’s information. He relaxed his mental guard just a bit, allowing that wisp of a magnetic field to pull at him.
In an instant, his perception grew hazy. His magnetic field frequency lowered, and it felt as if he was about to fall asleep.
’Sleep...’
For him, who had reached Saint Awakening, that seemed to be a long-forgotten word.
On his path of chasing infinite transcendence within a finite time, sleep had seemingly become a luxury and a waste.
Once he no longer needed it to restore his physical and mental functions, he had abandoned the act entirely.
’Still, since I’ve encountered something this interesting, there’s no harm in trying to sleep again.’
He followed the pull of the magnetic field, slowly calming his body and entering a sleep-like state.
...
...
He felt that as he guided his body into a state of sleep, his surroundings began to blur. Then, at a certain moment, all that was blurry suddenly became clear.
’A dream...’
Suddenly, his expression sharpened. The surrounding scenery became perfectly clear, and he found himself in a place he knew very well.
This place, one could say, was the beginning of his journey on the Martial Dao.
The arena.
TAP TAP TAP!!
He was standing in the center of the arena’s spacious grounds when a series of footsteps echoed from a shadow-filled entrance to the side.
’Is this the person who pulled me into this strange dream?’
Zhou Yuanjue narrowed his eyes slightly. He was quite curious to know who this person with such a miraculous ability was, and what their purpose might be.
The figure walked out from the shadows, and their form and face were gradually revealed before him.
"It’s you?"
Seeing the figure’s appearance clearly, even someone as composed as Zhou Yuanjue couldn’t hide a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"It’s been a long time since we last saw each other."
Li Qingxuan walked out of the entrance, a wistful smile on her face.
