Paragon Of Sin-Novel

"What?!"

The reactions weren't filled with awe and astonishment but bewilderment andconfusion, causing widespread uncertainty throughout the audience. Not only was this Neo-Dawn Star-Seed a low-tier, ninth-grade product, its effect was to act as a catalyst for a Solar Star? The first questionon the minds of those who were experienced in cultivation was:

"Why?"Tian Xiaocheng could feel the stifled murmurs and curious gazes leaking with disappointment, but her posture and smile remained undaunted as she expected this. She recalled her very own experience after learning of this product's effects, which made her feel that it was simply unworthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir and Neo- Dawn Vortex-Zone Pellet in terms of effects and properties.

Why exactly was this her first thought? Because the creation of a Solar Star was mostly irrelevant to the current state ofsociety. No, the proper word wasn't irrelevant but unneeded.In the cultivation world, those who've exceeded Mortal Limits, such as those at the Mystic Star Phase, the first stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm, and higher, can galvanize their accumulated powers of the Mortal Realms to recreate the circumstances of their advancement, generating their own Solar Stars with time, effort, and energy.

These were the overly numerous and abundant 'false' Solar Stars that were spread across starfields or acted as stabilizers for World Realms. Divine King Han Xei's Devil War Realm possessed a low- leveled Solar Star he had created, and most Mystic Star Phase-led organizations hadrealms with these types of Solar Stars, such as the Solitary Saber Sect that Su Mei had joined.All in all, for those who've exceeded Mortal Limits, the creation of a Solar Star was a relatively easy task. The only positive thing others could take from this Neo-Dawn Star-Seed was the fact that a Starlord would gain the chance to nurture their own Solar Star, but given the resource expenditure that one would have to undertake to do so, this was a highly unlikely and unpleasant activity.

It would be the equivalent of giving a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator the power to create Flat Continental Earths, Lunar Satellites, or Planets. It just wouldn't do them any good as they wouldn't be able to maintain or protect it. In fact, just traversing the smallest-sized officially recognized planet might take them years!And World Realms created by Starlords simply did not have the power to withstand the blazing radiance of a Solar Star. They would collapse instantly. While it wasn't much of a discussed topic due to the understated obviousness of it all, only the Mystic Ascendant Realm possessed World Realm-bound Solar Stars. The average Starlord that had just attained the bare minimum qualifications to consider themselves as 'human-sized' Solar Stars did not have the power or means to create a stable enough space to do so.

Additionally, the utter chaos of countless Solar Stars entering a starfield's natural orbit would be unimaginable anddestructive because even the smallest Dwarf-sized Solar Star was far, far larger than the smallest planet by a considerable degree and emitted a type of gravity that was extremely overbearing, enough to create its own starfield."..." So Tian Xiaocheng, despite her poise and excellent presenting abilities, was left with a subdued crowd with a mild reaction. They could only wait for further explanation.

Tian Xiaocheng inwardly sighed, and then she delved into the pill while maintaining her smile. Those watching had to admit, despite her background and haughty bones, the Empress was doing her job with astounding dedication. Some even forgot she was an Empress for a while, salivating over her gorgeous looks with lecherous dreams."The Neo-Dawn Star-Seed is a pill devised and concocted with a singular purpose: Creating a Solar Star that is harmonious with the world." When Tian Xiaocheng spoke out, her words only elicited the smallest of reactions. There were even some dry coughs resounding! Since the coughs had the intent behind them to judge the products, it was heard by all those focused on it.

At this point, her heart sneered with contempt, ignoring the fact that she had much of the same response when it was explained to her. In her mind, however, she still insulted these so-called experts as they were lacking in essential knowledge of cultivation despite their elevated sense of worth. "Pathetic frogs in a well," she ruthlessly called them in her thoughts as she wore the most delicate and beautiful smiles.She continued: "The product is a pre- concocted Star Seed that contains genuine Elemental Origin Essence and Energy as its foundational structure. Moreover, it can be developed after initial consumption in one's Dantian, much like a fetus in a womb, to grow with additional resources. When it has reached its bare minimum level of requirement, it'll be a Dwarf-sized Solar Star that can then be expelled."When expelled, continued growth will be possible by investing the innate energies, Starforce, or Star Power of the cultivator that refined it, allowing the Solar Star to reach, depending on the quality of the pill, potentially the size of a Colossus Star!" Tian Xiaocheng began to list its effects, but the majority of the crowd was unable to properly understand the relevance of this. Those at the Qi Condensation Realm, or even those at the Starlord level, simply couldn't grasp the complexity and importance of this product. They were either too young or too ignorant.

But those who had exceeded Mortal Limits had fundamentally different reactions. This was even more so for the educated!"Impossible!" A Mortal Sovereign Alchemist who worshiped the Seven Sages Tower's Echoing Stars of the Vastness Pill and the history of the War of Fallen Stars and the Dark Stars Era and their origins was trembling from head to toe, his eyes bulged and his mouth wide with disbelief. His reaction caused his fellow companions to gasp in shock and confusion.

"Are you okay?" They asked.

But the Alchemic Sovereign had long since lost himself in his chaotic thoughts and couldn't respond.

Tian Xiaocheng didn't stop, "The end product will also have a natural harmony with the world, allowing it to be classified by our standards as a 'natural' Solar Star. It directly enables a path to the process of the Star Ascension but at the cost of resources.""..." Evergod's pupils constricted.

San Luoyang's heart began to race.

San Yongli's eyes bulged almost out of their sockets. She might be among the younger generation, but she had 'obtained' a fortuitous encounter meant for someone else, acquiring knowledge of the World- Bound Star Domain and its cultivation requirements. She was so floored by this product that her mind blared like sirens.

She had spent the last twelve years trying to find a material that could replace a natural Solar Star that had more or less been hunted into extinction, causing the Dark Stars Era and countless deaths in the cold void of space. The only material she had a lead on was an Astralis Star, an amalgamation of greatly condensed and refined Astralis Essence, the core component of a Solar Star.She had even desired to obtain an Ultimate Astralis Star, which was said to be able to not only act as a World-Bound Star Domain, but when one condenses their Astral Idol using it as the foundation, it generates an Ultimate Ability that relates to the Mortal Dao. From how the inheritance described it, the Ultimate Astral Idol would gain limited dominion over the Mortal Dao, even capable of inducing strange powers such as Mortal Annihilation-permanently.

This was unlike the limited range of a World-Bound Star Domain's Mortal Annihilation, which could be likened to a Worldly Domain's control over the essence, energies, and mana within its territory.

"Isn't that!" Lin Ming outright shouted as he pointed at the jade box. He looked at Lin Xianxei with raging disbelief in his eyes."A World-Bound Star Domain catalyst!" Lin Xianxei said quiveringly, unable to stop her hands from trembling. As a Starlord, shehad obtained the legacy of her Master, the Divine King Han Xei, and had acquired a pseudo-Solar Star with natural properties infused with Elemental Heart Intent, much smaller than a dwarf-sized Solar Star, a bypass to establishing a World-Bound Star Domain!

He had devoted time and effort to creating that substitute for her, and it was how she could exceed everyone's expectations and why she survived Zhang Ziyi's assassination attempt. It was also why she was severely injured, as the World-Bound Star Domain was unstable, and she couldn't fully utilize its power.It was her greatest regret that the War of Fallen Stars had caused almost all thenatural Solar Stars to become extinct and refined away into ninth-grade pills. Otherwise, she could truly partake in the most natural path of cultivation to the peak.

Lin Ming had been trying to find a World- Bound Star Domain as well but had resolved to prepare a substitute if he couldn't find a proper replacement. Given his Elemental Heart Intent, he should be able to remedy any issues from it post- Ascension. This was what the voiceinstructed, but all of his arduous plans and hectic gathering of materials that oftentimes had him tethered on life and death were...

"You must obtain that pill! At all costs!" The voice in Lin Ming's head strongly reminded him.

Almost every Alchemic Sovereign was blasted by shock and surprise, while those experts who lived for a long time were shaken to their very core.

"As some of you may know," Tian Xiaocheng began to give a history lesson, "The War of Fallen Stars that was triggered by the trailblazing creation of the Echoing Vastness of the Stars Pill, a pinnacle-tier product, and the Dark Stars Era, the result of the former ruling clan of our Stellar Region establishing the Supermassive Solar Star by gathering Solar Stars and then falling due to their oppressive actions, had all been due to the 'natural' Solar Stars that had miraculous effects.

"This product will be able to, with time and effort, refill the Stellar Regions with these stars-YOUR STARS!

For a moment, hype began to swirl as her explanation allowed others to recall the history of both events.

But it only came together when Tian Xiaocheng said: "Alchemic Sovereign Wei created this product with the hope of giving the Stellar Regions, that have long since been forgotten and the existing Stellar Region, including the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, a chance to be reborn into its former glory!"

"Oh!" At this point, many people began to understand that these Solar Stars were 'different'. Then, and only then, did they start to rise with excitement. Discussions erupted, and knowledge began to spread, including the implications."But like before-THERE'S MORE!" Tian Xiaocheng finally got the reaction she wanted and responded with similar energy. "The Neo-Dawn Star-Seed can not only assist one in forming a Solar Star, but can also provide traces of Starforce properties to Astral Force! The benefits this will have to your strength shouldn't be underestimated. Additionally, the fully formed version of the Solar Star will also be automatically linked to the main refiner of the pill, allowing them to use it as the foundation of their World-Bound Star Domain! But be wary; doing so will intensify the lethality of the Star Core Astral Tribulation."

"World-Bound Star Domain?"

"What's that?"

"Huh?!"Instantly, confusion began to rise from the crowd.

However, those who exceeded Mortal Limits were not as ignorant. When one ascended, they became aware of the possibility of a World-Bound Star Domain, but given the War of Fallen Stars and the Dark Stars Era that led to a severe depletion of the natural Solar Star resource, including the fact only a few have ever birthed Elemental Heart Intent, there was no need to try creating it.

Of course, countless have tried using false Solar Stars, but the disharmony would get rejected, and the perpetrator who brought it with them would experience a merciless execution via Mortal Annihilation.After tens of thousands of years, it was simply forgotten, kept in the corner of everyone's inner regret, not even listed in things like the Myriad Monarch Canon. So it wasn't out of the ordinary that the crowd was ignorant of what a World-Bound Star Domain was unless they had an ancient inheritance.

"The magnitude of this pill...is greater than the other two..." Tian Muyang said in a daze. The severe lack of reaction did not do it justice, but if the products were ushered by relevance to a new era, then this pill was worthy of the third slot!

The Empress truly didn't do its description justice! But it made sense because it was hard to describe the utter importance of this pill, especially to those who hadn't reached the Star Core Phase yet."I wish I was born in this generation," Tian Lingyu pouted her lips as envy flowed from her pupils as she observed the ignorant and contemplating expressions of the princes and princesses of the younger generation. But when she saw Tian Guyan, the Second Prince, there was only pity.

Tian Yinwu hadn't reached the Star Core Phase yet, at least to her knowledge, so he was going to be given the best conditions to ascend. All because he was born in this generation...

The sentiment echoed in the hearts and minds of every Ascended silently as they observed the Neo-Dawn Star-Seed Pill. The quiet that formed was a mixture of the older generation's mourning of their past and the younger generation's ignorance of their future.Tian Xiaocheng received new instructions, and then she shook her head. Eventually, the world will know the importance of this product, and the uproar will be absolutely legendary.

"For this product and the next fortune of the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo, there will be a short competition! All those between the World Sea Phase and Temporal Eye Phase, please do prepare yourselves!"

The fifth bout of good fortune was about to begin!
