Chapter 176 News of the Starry Sky Divine Elephant

After countless attempts, Zheng Dong finally condensed three hundred and sixty-five bloodline clones.

These bloodline clones all had great growth potential.

However, their current combat power was equivalent to that of overlord-level extraordinary creatures.

They still needed time to grow.

Zheng Dong brought them into his beast-taming space, allowing all the clones to sense their respective bloodline powers and corresponding laws within the space.

These bloodline clones sensed their bloodline powers more adeptly, being at least ten times faster than the ordinary clones condensed by Zheng Dong using various clone skills.

As his comprehension deepened, Zheng Dong became increasingly familiar with various bloodline powers and their corresponding laws.

He planned to completely fuse all the bloodline powers into one before re-condensing the nascent divinehead.

While Zheng Dong was condensing his bloodline clones, Xiao Zi was also cultivating, attempting to condense a divine body.

The Death Spirit Devouring Star Beast had exhausted its strength and had completely become a corpse.

Xiao Zi, while referencing the divine body of this Devouring Star Beast, attempted to construct its own divine body.

Constructing a divine body required the use of a divinehead to integrate the power of laws into the body.

First, one's own blood needed to be transformed into divine blood, containing the power of laws.

Secondly, from the inside out, the internal organs, bones, and skin would be remodeled step by step.

Finally, the power of laws would be circulated stably within the body, causing the power of laws contained within the body to grow stronger, thereby constructing a divine body suitable for oneself.

Due to differences in the laws mastered and the divineheads condensed, the circulation of the power of laws would also differ, resulting in each divine-level extraordinary creature's divine body being somewhat unique.

Xiao Zi, using its divinehead, could mobilize and utilize the powers of Devouring, Gold, Earth, Dark, and Space laws.

Using these five laws, Xiao Zi attempted to construct its divine body.

The initial stages were smooth, but the construction of the law circulation within the body failed after multiple attempts.

It could only continue to study the corpse of the Devouring Star Beast.

In the blink of an eye, over two more months passed.

The fluctuations within the wormhole gradually stabilized.

Zheng Dong planned to travel to the Sea of Stars.

He condensed a clone to monitor the changes in the wormhole from outside.

As soon as the wormhole stabilized, he would immediately take Xiao Zi into it.

After waiting for a few more days, the opportunity finally arrived.

Zheng Dong did not hesitate and rushed into the wormhole with Xiao Zi.

The wormhole was not like a door as Zheng Dong had imagined, where entering would lead to another star domain.

He also spent a long time inside the wormhole, much like a train passing through a long tunnel.

However, the wormhole was not completely dark; various bizarre and colorful scenes could be seen.

Exiting the wormhole, Zheng Dong's eyes lit up as he arrived in an unfamiliar star domain.

Similar to the Star Sky Divine Elephant, Zheng Dong immediately noticed the Sea of Stars in the distance.

The Sea of Stars was very conspicuous, like a dazzling cloud.

It seemed to be formed by the convergence of countless starlight.

This puzzled Zheng Dong.

He knew that the convergence of starlight should be an illusion.

Otherwise, if starlight truly converged, this star domain would not be illuminated so brightly.

And the Sea of Stars should be completely dark.

Therefore, there was a visual distortion.

Under normal circumstances, something within the Sea of Stars would be continuously releasing starlight, illuminating the surrounding star domain.

This also caused the elemental energy concentration here to far exceed that of other star domains.

A large number of Star Sky Beasts also gathered here.

Among them were quite a few Star Sky Beasts that had condensed divineheads.

Zheng Dong sensed that as he exited the wormhole, at least six or seven Star Sky Beasts that had condensed divineheads were looking at him.

Fortunately, the growth level of these Star Sky Beasts was only at the Lower God, and they did not attack him.

This was because Xiao Zi exuded a powerful aura, no less than these Star Sky Beasts, and was even significantly stronger.

Zheng Dong planned to familiarize himself with the environment and understand the situation of the Sea of Stars before entering it to obtain the inheritance of the Star Sky Supreme.

Zheng Dong, with Xiao Zi, roamed this starscape.

He unexpectedly discovered a place where Star Sky Beasts traded resources.

Star Sky Beasts were enormous in size, and even when trading resources, it was difficult for them to shrink and enter a planet.

They would gather like humans at a market, agreeing on a time and a fixed day to meet at a certain location to exchange resources.

Zheng Dong found that the place where these Star Sky Beasts traded was in the open space outside a massive planet.

The starscape here was relatively stable, with few meteorites or comets passing by.

When Zheng Dong arrived in this star domain, he saw thousands of Star Sky Beasts trading resources here.

Such a scene was also quite astonishing.

The largest one among them was significantly larger than the nearby planet.

However, compared to Xiao Zi, it was still inferior.

Xiao Zi maintained its Devouring Star Beast form, and Zheng Dong sat on its back, heading towards the Star Sky Beast trading market.

The trading was also very simple, a bartering system.

These Star Sky Beasts would place the resources they needed to trade in front of them.

Those who were interested could step forward to inquire, and if they could offer resources that satisfied the other party, a transaction could be made.

Xiao Zi's entry into the Star Sky Market attracted the attention of many Star Sky Beasts.

Quite a few Star Sky Beasts looked at Xiao Zi.

Many of them were very afraid of Devouring Star Beasts.

Devouring Star Beasts could not only devour planets but also devour them.

They could be considered one of their natural predators.

However, in the Star Sky Market, even natural predators would not attack each other.

This was also a rule of the Star Sky Market.

Of course, after leaving the Star Sky Market, there were no restrictions.

However, this was just a customary rule, and some Star Sky Beasts did not abide by it.

Such Star Sky Beasts would incur the displeasure of other Star Sky Beasts, and few would trade with them again.

Zheng Dong had Xiao Zi enter the Star Sky Market merely to look around and broaden his horizons.

As for whether to exchange resources, he was indifferent.

Wandering aimlessly was also a way to relax.

After strolling around for about half a circle, Zheng Dong saw many divine-level resources, and even many fragments of divine artifacts, but none that he wished to exchange.

After wandering for a while longer, Zheng Dong felt it was not very interesting and decided to leave.

Just as he had Xiao Zi turn around, he saw the Star Sky Xuan Bird.

This Star Sky Xuan Bird was the one that had entered the Star Sky Maze with Zheng Dong previously.

It had left the Star Sky Maze earlier than the Star Sky Divine Elephant and was the first to arrive in this star domain.

Zheng Dong discovered that the Star Sky Xuan Bird had also condensed a divinehead, and its body had undergone significant changes, emitting a very different aura from before, appearing to be constructing a divine body.

The Star Sky Xuan Bird had also come to the Star Sky Market to exchange resources.

It took out a black and white artifact fragment, resembling a fragment left by a divine artifact of light and dark attributes.

Based on the power fluctuations of the fragment, it could be roughly inferred that the divine artifact of light and dark attributes was at least a mid-level divine artifact.

The value of this fragment was quite high.

It was equivalent to one or two divine skill resources.

Immediately, it attracted a Star Sky Two-headed Monster.

This Star Sky Two-headed Monster was also of light and dark attributes, resembling a yaksha covered in animal skins, and was very ugly.

Its two heads were discussing whether to exchange for the Star Sky Xuan Bird's fragment.

Zheng Dong did not linger, merely observing the scene from afar and continuing to wander.

He wanted to see if he could encounter the Star Sky Divine Elephant again.

This offered a greater chance than him searching aimlessly.

After all, at every Star Sky Market, ninety percent of the nearby Star Sky Beasts would gather.

Zheng Dong browsed for a while longer, and his gaze was attracted to a broken grinding mill.

The power fluctuations of the grinding mill were not strong, even tending towards nothingness, and if not felt carefully, it would be almost imperceptible.

From the outside, it looked very ordinary, like a stone mill used for grinding beans at home.

The reason Zheng Dong noticed this grinding mill was that Youyou sensed that the grinding mill might be part of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda.

This caused the fragments of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda to fluctuate violently.

Zheng Dong also sensed that as he approached, the power fluctuations of the grinding mill also strengthened slightly.

However, if one did not pay close attention, it could not be felt at all.

The one who wanted to exchange for the grinding mill was a Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino.

In front of it, besides the grinding mill, there were also several divine-level resources and several divine-level fragments.

This fellow appeared very wealthy.

Moreover, its strength was not low; it had not only condensed a divinehead but also constructed a divine body.

It was only one step away from growing into a Lower God.

Because of this, it occupied a large area in the Star Sky Market.

The surrounding Star Sky Beasts did not dare to approach it.

It also keenly sensed the change in the grinding mill's energy fluctuations and looked at Xiao Zi in its Devouring Star Beast form, saying:

"Friend, would you like to come and take a look? Perhaps there is something you want here!"

Zheng Dong also had Xiao Zi walk over to inquire about the exchange conditions.

This fellow actually made an exorbitant demand, saying with a face full of enthusiasm and laughter:

"Three divine-level resources, or a damaged beginner divine artifact."

Upon hearing the exchange conditions, Zheng Dong immediately had Xiao Zi leave.

There was no need to be ripped off by this fellow; he would find a way to obtain the grinding mill later.

Seeing Zheng Dong about to leave, the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino quickly said again:

"Friend, don't be in such a hurry. Tell me your price. If it's reasonable, I can take a small loss and trade with you."

Zheng Dong turned to look at the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino. This fellow was indeed good at doing business.

With the existence of the Star Sky Market, there were naturally some Star Sky Beasts that specialized in reselling and exchanging resources to obtain the resources they needed.

These Star Sky Beasts were often quite powerful.

Otherwise, they would have been killed by other Star Sky Beasts long ago.

The Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino might be engaged in this line of business, otherwise, why would it be exchanging so many items?

Zheng Dong thought for a moment and had Xiao Zi offer one Earth-attributed divine-level resource.

The Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino had Earth, Gold, and Dark attributes, and an Earth-attributed divine-level resource would be suitable for it.

"No, no, no, one is not enough. At least two!" the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino said.

Zheng Dong did not have many divine-level resources accumulated. Although he had plundered a lot from the various Totem Kingdoms and the Star Sky Desolate Wolf Star Domain, he had also used a lot.

Thus, Xiao Zi said:

"If you don't agree, then forget it. This thing isn't of much value to me anyway, so you can keep it!"

Although this grinding mill was a fragment of some divine artifact, its power fluctuations were almost gone due to the immense passage of time. The Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino had only exchanged it as a supplementary item from another Star Sky Beast during a previous transaction.

It was essentially a freebie, and he hadn't paid much for it.

Exchanging it for a divine-level resource was still a profit for it.

However, it was very greedy. It knew that this item should be useful to Zheng Dong and intended to demand more.

"How about this, take a look at what else I have. If there's anything you want, and you can exchange a few more items, I can consider exchanging this grinding mill for one divine-level resource and five legendary-level resources."

Zheng Dong frowned, feeling that this Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino was a bit troublesome.

He scanned the other resources and divine artifact fragments displayed in front of the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino; none of them were what he wanted to exchange.

After thinking for a moment, he had Xiao Zi continue to say:

"I don't have many resources, so I can't exchange more with you. But if you can help me inquire about something, I can give you two divine-level resources in exchange."

Zheng Dong felt that the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino, having frequented this star domain for a long time, might have news about the Star Sky Divine Elephant.

Immediately, the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino's eyes lit up, and it said with a smile:

"What is it? Can you tell me?"

"I have a friend whom I can't contact. Perhaps something has happened to them. Help me find them!"

As he spoke, countless grains of sand surged from in front of Xiao Zi, piling up to form the appearance of the Star Sky Divine Elephant.

Xiao Zi, using the Earth law, could easily mobilize Earth elemental energy to form ordinary sand.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Star Sky Divine Elephant, the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino was stunned and said:

"I think I've seen it before. It should have been at the last market. I'll help you inquire, and you should get news soon."

Afterward, the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino agreed with Zheng Dong to meet again in this star domain a week later.

At that time, if the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino found the whereabouts of the Star Sky Divine Elephant, Zheng Dong would complete the transaction with it.

After leaving the Star Sky Market, Zheng Dong continued to wander in this star domain.

This star domain was vast, containing tens of thousands of star systems.

Many powerful Star Sky Beast races occupied multiple star systems, forbidding other Star Sky Beasts from entering.

Zheng Dong did not want to stir up trouble and did not enter the territories of these Star Sky Beasts.

He merely familiarized himself with the general situation of this star domain.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Zheng Dong returned to the Star Sky Market.

The Star Sky Beasts that had gathered here had already left.

The market had long since ended, and the next market was three months away.

Zheng Dong arrived at the agreed-upon location but did not see the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino.

He had no choice but to wait at the spot.

After waiting for a while, the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino also arrived.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Fortunately, I've also inquired about your friend's news. They haven't left this star domain yet."

After some communication, Zheng Dong obtained the general location of the Star Sky Divine Elephant.

According to the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino, it had used its connections and learned that some Star Sky Beasts had seen the Star Sky Divine Elephant near the territory of the Star Sky Badger.

Therefore, the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino had specifically gone there to confirm the Star Sky Divine Elephant's reported location before rushing back to trade with Zheng Dong.

"Friend, you definitely won't lose out on this trade. You don't know, but to get news about your friend, I paid quite a price, and it's also very far from here to the territory of the Star Sky Badger."

The Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino complained to Zheng Dong, wanting Zheng Dong to feel like he was getting a good deal and would seek it out for future transactions.

Zheng Dong did not pay too much attention to these matters and had Xiao Zi complete the transaction with the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino.

The reason he agreed to give the Star Sky Xuan Jia Rhino two divine-level fragments was not only to inquire about the Star Sky Divine Elephant's whereabouts but also because Xiao Zi, through its treasure-hunting skill, had also sensed that this grinding mill was unusual, and perhaps this was an opportunity to strike gold.
