Chapter 94 Star Sea Roaming Kun

Central Continent Manor.

Third floor of the main building.

Lin Yuan and Fang Qing sat facing each other.

"Brother Lin, I obtained some intelligence in advance regarding the Seven Stars Cave trial and wanted to share it with you." Fang Qing did not dare to delay in the slightest.

The roar of the White-bearded old man was still ringing in his ears.

Fang Qing was not willing to endure that torture again.

"Oh?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

The intelligence related to the Seven Stars Cave trial of the Red Kun Star Lord was sealed by the Cosmic Human Alliance and the Red Kun Star Lord himself.

Evolvers who could still obtain intelligence under such conditions…

…were all of extraordinary background, with at least a behemoth standing behind them hailing from some high-level life planet and dominating a region.

Or they were major factions backed by sixth-rank Falling Stars.

As a medium-level life planet, Canglan Star simply did not have the prerequisite conditions to give birth to such a faction.

"It seems the guess is true."

Lin Yuan's expression was slightly solemn as he looked at Fang Qing.

During the tournament, someone had already collected the profiles of the top fifty Evolver contestants at that time.

The speculation regarding Fang Qing was that he supposedly obtained a great Opportunity and received the Legacy of some powerful Evolver.

Later, Fang Qing displayed the methods of the "Ancient God" evolution path, which further proved this guess.

The "Ancient God" evolution path used a powerful "Ancient God" deep within the starry sky as a reference to Cultivate.

Without extremely detailed guidance, if a practitioner was slightly negligent, they would be polluted by the "Ancient God."

Consequently, they would become a servant or even a Puppet Incarnation of this "Ancient God."

For those powerful life forms, a single glance or a single thought was enough to destroy countless low-level lives.

Among the evolution paths publicly disclosed by the Cosmic Human Alliance currently, there was no "Ancient God" evolution path simply because its Cultivation risks were far too massive.

For other evolution paths, even if your Cultivation failed, at most you would just die.

Whereas for the "Ancient God" evolution path, if something went wrong with you, you would directly become the descent vessel for the "Ancient God."

Of course, Cosmic Human Civilization merely prohibited the widespread dissemination of the "Ancient God" evolution path and did not completely eradicate it.

As for the reason, it was because many "Ancient Gods" deep within the starry sky had already fallen or disappeared in the long river of history.

Cultivating the "Ancient God" evolution path certainly carried certain risks, but it was also possible to inherit the authority and everything else of that "Ancient God."

Overall, since Fang Qing dared to Cultivate the "Ancient God" evolution path, he at least possessed detailed guidance for this evolution path, and even had dedicated intelligent life correcting problems during Fang Qing's Cultivation at all times.

"It's just that I know nothing about the Seven Stars Cave trial."

Since Fang Qing came over to share intelligence, logically speaking, Lin Yuan also needed to share intelligence with the other party, so this point had to be made clear.

"It's fine."

"We are all from Canglan Star; we ought to help each other."

Fang Qing waved his hand. Anyway, intelligence was the kind of thing that could be said to be a priceless treasure or completely worthless, since it didn't require any follow-up costs after all.

"However, before I speak, Brother Lin, please first have the Goddess of Wisdom stop monitoring. After all, Seven Stars Cave intelligence is explicitly prohibited by the Alliance—"

Fang Qing seemed to have thought of something and quickly said.

This manor was Lin Yuan's territory, so only Lin Yuan had the right to privacy and could dismiss the Goddess of Wisdom.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan nodded, then connected to the Goddess of Wisdom, having it temporarily stop paying attention to this place.

After finishing all this…

Fang Qing began to recount the intelligence regarding the Seven Stars Cave trial.

"Actually, the Seven Stars Cave trial rarely appears. Generally, it is only opened when the Red Kun Star Lord is in a good mood."

Fang Qing said with emotion.

The Chi Kun Star Region possessed eight major galaxy systems. After each tournament, the Red Kun Star Lord would select a galaxy system and conduct trials for the top ten individuals on each life planet.

The vast majority of trials were ordinary ones meant to deal with the Cosmic Human Alliance. Only when true Geniuses were seen would he consider opening the Seven Stars Cave.

"However, this is also our Opportunity."

"After the Seven Stars Cave trial opens, the twelve Disciples of the Red Kun Star Lord will begin to pay attention. As long as one passes the seven star caves, there is a chance to become a Disciple under these twelve people."

Speaking to this point, Fang Qing paused and continued, "Do not underestimate these twelve Disciples. Among these twelve people, the weakest are at the sixth-rank Star-Falling Class, and the strongest two or three have even surpassed the sixth rank—"

"Surpassed the sixth rank." Lin Yuan's spirit shook slightly.

Not to mention surpassing the sixth rank; even for the sixth rank, Lin Yuan still had a very long distance to go.

According to Lin Yuan's estimation, if he wanted to make a Breakthrough to the sixth rank, he would need at least another two to three shuttles, which would probably take several hundred years.

Of course, the several hundred years here referred to the time spent shuttling to other worlds; the passage of time in the Main World should not be very long.

Even so, for the current Lin Yuan, the sixth-rank Star-Falling Class was already enough for him to look up to.

"Therefore, during the trial, you must do your best to showcase yourself, because every move of everyone falls into the eyes of those twelve Disciples."

"Even if you ultimately fail to pass the Seven Stars Cave trial, as long as your performance satisfies those twelve people, you can still join the Chi Kun lineage."

Fang Qing said, lowering his voice.

Even many Star-Falling Class factions were not clear about this intelligence.

It belonged to the top-secret among top secrets. Back when his teacher was alive, it also took a lot of effort to find out.

"I see."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

He firmly remembered it.

"Having said so much, I haven't mentioned the content of the trial yet."

Fang Qing seemed to realize something and grinned. "Actually, the Seven Stars Cave trial is not complicated; it is divided into seven star caves."

"Each star cave is a trial."

"As for the specific trial content, it varies endlessly, but summed up, it is a trial targeting the Physical Body, speed, will, mind, and Comprehension Ability aspects."

Fang Qing spoke up.

"I see."

Lin Yuan understood in his heart.

No wonder when other Evolvers participating in the trial asked him which star cave was the most difficult…

Whether Lin Yuan answered that the First Star Cave was the most difficult or the Seventh Star Cave was the most difficult, both would be wrong.

In reality, exactly which star cave was the most difficult and which star cave was the simplest was completely "dependent on the individual."

For example, if a certain Evolver was good at speed, then the star cave testing speed would be the simplest for him.

If a certain Evolver's mind was the weakest, then the star cave testing the mind would be the most difficult for him.

Therefore, the specific answer to this question was that there was no most difficult and weakest.

"However, in my opinion, what the Red Kun Star Lord values most is still the Evolver's 'Comprehension Ability.' As for other aspects, such as Aptitude, Bloodline, and so on, they can only determine the lower limit. If you want to truly reach the Peak, step into the sixth rank, and surpass the sixth rank, Comprehension Ability is the most important."

Fang Qing said with a solemn expression.

This sentence was actually not spoken by him, but rather by his "teacher" who had long since fallen.

"That is because the Red Kun Star Lord himself possesses the Bloodline of the highest Peak of the Cosmic Starry Sky." Lin Yuan smiled.

There were many rumors related to the Red Kun Star Lord, the most prominent of which was that when the Red Kun Star Lord was at the fifth rank, he took a battleship to explore an unknown Star Domain and accidentally discovered a planet.

All living creatures on this planet were dead, and even the planet itself was about to be devoured.

The reason was that this planet had already degenerated into a hotbed for nurturing the Star Sea Roaming Kun, a special life form.

The Star Sea Roaming Kun was one of the most powerful special life forms in the Universe, extremely rare, reaching the sixth rank upon adulthood, with a size comparable to a normal planet.

Generally speaking, when an adult Star Sea Roaming Kun nurtured offspring, it would find a suitable planet and inject its offspring, which was still in the egg, into the planet's core.

To incubate it using geothermal heat.

During this period, the cub of the Star Sea Roaming Kun would begin to slowly devour all the energy of this planet.

By the time this Star Sea Roaming Kun was close to adulthood, this planet would basically have been devoured clean.

The planet discovered by the Red Kun Star Lord, who was still at the fifth rank at the time, was being slowly devoured by the cub of the Star Sea Roaming Kun.

However, it should have been in the early stages of devouring; the cub of that Star Sea Roaming Kun only had vague consciousness and instinct.

Realizing this, the Red Kun Star Lord immediately knew that the Opportunity had arrived.

In the boundless Universe with countless planets, encountering a planet currently incubating a Star Sea Roaming Kun cub had less than a trillion-trillion-trillionth probability.

After confirming the guess in his heart, the Red Kun Star Lord immediately used the "Possession" secret technique of the Cosmic Human Alliance to take over the body of that Star Sea Roaming Kun cub.

Such a special life form could simply be called the darling of the starry sky Universe, reaching the sixth rank upon adulthood, and being at the Peak among sixth-rank beings, given its size after all.

Comparable to the size of a normal planet, how much energy was contained within its body? I'm afraid it was enough to make normal sixth-rank Falling Stars despair.

Why the Red Kun Star Lord took "Red Kun" as his name was precisely because his true form was a Star Sea Roaming Kun.

Of course, after taking Possession of the Star Sea Roaming Kun, the Red Kun Star Lord secretly Cultivated for several millennia, successfully making a Breakthrough to the sixth rank and stepping into the seventh rank, before returning to the Cosmic Human Alliance.

Then, after Experts of the Cosmic Human Alliance confirmed that the Red Kun Star Lord's Soul was of the Human Race and not disguised by an alien race, he successfully established himself within the Human Race.

All in all, the experiences of the Red Kun Star Lord were simply like he was cheating.

That was a Star Sea Roaming Kun! The absolute Peak Bloodline of the Universe, whose lower limit was the target that countless Human Race members looked up to for a lifetime.

"That is indeed true."

Fang Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said.

Compared with the Red Kun Star Lord, his meager fortuitous encounter was nothing at all.

"Right, when you first entered the Seven Star Cave World, did you change your facial features and body shape?"

Fang Qing looked at Lin Yuan, asking with a concerned tone.

"I changed them." Lin Yuan nodded.

Having heard this prompt at the time, Lin Yuan took the initiative to change them. Anyway, it didn't waste anything, and there was no need not to listen.

"That's good."

Fang Qing let out a breath of relief.

"Although we are not in a competitive relationship in the Seven Stars Cave trial, it is best not to expose our true identities."

Fang Qing explained, "After all, the tournament videos are going to be spread all around. In case some lunatic harbors hostility toward us and happens to also participate in the trial, that would be a bit troublesome."

This kind of thing was a disaster brought about for no reason.

Therefore, changing appearance and body shape was best; nobody knew anyone,

and as long as each other's interests were not touched, they wouldn't easily make a move.

After thoroughly informing Lin Yuan of the intelligence regarding the Seven Stars Cave trial…

Fang Qing didn't ask much more, nor did he inquire about Lin Yuan's appearance in the Seven Star Cave World.

He then got up and left.

After all, if they knew each other's appearance, should Lin Yuan help or not help if Fang Qing encountered any trouble during the trial?

Fang Qing taking the initiative to inform Lin Yuan of this intelligence was entirely a form of investment. If he inquired about Lin Yuan's appearance afterward, it would carry the implication of leveraging a favor for reward.

Returning to his own manor…

Fang Qing connected to the Virtual World and appeared inside his personal space.

Swish.

A palm-sized White-bearded old man appeared on Fang Qing's shoulder.

"Well done."

The White-bearded old man nodded and praised.

"That Lin Yuan has a high probability of becoming a sixth-rank Falling Star in the future. When the other party needed it, you proactively brought the intelligence and presented it; you should have successfully befriended him already."

The White-bearded old man said with gratification.

Experts were lonely, yet they also moved in groups.

Within the endless Universe, the most powerful entities were never individuals, but rather the many Peak Groups such as the Human Race and the Zerg Race.

It was precisely these groups that occupied the most abundant territory resources of the Universe, continuously nurturing countless Experts.

Back then, the master of the White-bearded old man—that is, the Expert who left behind the Legacy of the "Ancient God" evolution path—was naturally reclusive, to the extent that when he was hunted down by enemies, not even a single friend stepped forward.

That was why the White-bearded old man had urged Fang Qing to go all out to befriend Lin Yuan.

"I wonder which star cave Big Brother Lin will be able to break through to…"

Fang Qing said with a curious tone.

"If I guessed correctly, given your Big Brother Lin's Aptitude, his identity in the Seven Star Cave World should be a Golden Mark."

The White-bearded old man glanced at Fang Qing.

"Golden Mark."

Fang Qing took a deep breath. A Golden Mark was not only an identity, but also the recognition of the Red Kun Star Lord.

"Passing the seven star caves shouldn't be much of a problem. For your Big Brother Lin, the important thing is choosing which Disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord to follow."

The White-bearded old man spoke.

Even among the twelve Disciples of the Red Kun Star Lord, there were distinctions of strength and weakness; the best choice naturally was to become a Disciple under the top three.

That was an existence that had surpassed the sixth rank.

The remaining nine were also not bad, all being sixth-rank Star-Falling Class.

If one really had to compare, the top three were definitely better.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, twenty-four hours passed.

Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly as he connected to the Virtual World, appearing on the white jade plaza of the Seven Star Cave World.

At this moment, a large number of Evolvers were also scattered across the plaza.

These Evolvers were either standing alone or gathered in groups of twos and threes.

For the vast majority of Evolvers, they did not know the content of the trial, so they would instinctively band together.

Right at this moment…

A towering figure appeared.

Overlooking the numerous Evolvers, he said in a grand voice, "Time has arrived. Presumably, everyone is almost ready."

"Next, I will repeat the rules of the Seven Stars Cave trial."

"The Seven Stars Cave trial is divided into seven star caves in total. Your goal is to break through these seven star caves."

"Each person can stay in each star cave for at most one month. If you fail to break through after more than one month, it will be considered a failure."

"If you die during the trial clearance, it is also considered a failure."

After the towering figure finished speaking, with a wave of his large hand, over a million Evolvers on the white jade plaza quickly vanished.

At the same time…

Inside a mysterious space within the Seven Star Cave World…

Twelve figures appeared.

These twelve figures were seated in two positions.

The ones closer to the top were three figures,

while the ones closer to the bottom were nine figures.

Judging by their aura and pressure, the top three figures clearly surpassed the bottom nine figures.

These twelve figures were naturally the twelve Disciples of the Red Kun Star Lord.

Every time the Seven Stars Cave trial began, they would split off a wisp of consciousness to descend, used to select their own Disciples.
