Chapter 306: Chapter306-The Invitation, and the Human Ancestor’s Concern

Daniel blinked, then immediately learned the Sacred Art.

[Ding! You have learned the Sacred Art [Celestial Grasp]!]

"The threshold for this Sacred Art is extremely high. It requires a tremendous amount of energy to fill it. Even if an ordinary quasi-sage obtained it, they would find it difficult to control. But it is extremely suitable for me."

Daniel pondered silently.

His greatest strength lay in his boundless foundation, and this Sacred Art could store his energy within it. Once activated, he could freely control its eruption. This was simply perfect!

Its power was no weaker than using a clone to self-destruct.

Just then, another system notification sounded beside Daniel’s ear.

[Ding! You have obtained the reward for this mission!]

[Ding! You have obtained the [Scroll of Astral Prosperity] (Rare).]

Daniel raised his brows.

Rare items had no grade divisions, so naturally, they could not be boosted by the Millionfold Boost either. After all, they had no lower limit, and they had no upper limit.

Daniel took out the item.

[Scroll of Astral Prosperity] (Rare)

Type: Bound

User: Faustus

Grade: Rare

Effect: A pass for entering and exiting the Astral Realm. The holder of this scroll may enter the Astral Realm without obstruction.

Description: The number of these scrolls is limited. In each era of the Endless Starsea, only seven exist. Only those blessed by the Goddess of Fortune may obtain one. The holder may freely travel through the Astral Realm.

[Astral Realm]: Star systems that are about to be born but have not yet fully taken shape are collectively known as Astral Realms.

Because an Astral Realm is on the verge of formation, it will condense supreme Sacred Materials on the level of Primordial Law Grade treasures, foundations of laws manifested from countless profundities, as well as various Primordial Grade treasure lands. It possesses an extremely rare and supreme space for advancement.

The birth of an Astral Realm is extraordinarily rare.

Generally speaking, only after the lifespan of a star system reaches its end and it completely perishes will there be a chance for an Astral Realm to be born after another million years.

From the birth of that newborn world to its final stabilization, the time left to all beings is merely a short span of one hundred years.

After one hundred years, once the Astral Realm fully takes shape, even someone holding a Scroll of Astral Prosperity will no longer be able to enter it freely.

Regarding the Scroll of Astral Prosperity, ancient records described it as follows: this item was personally forged by an eternal sage-rank supreme powerhouse. Even an existence of eternal sage-rank cannot increase its number.

However, the next lower-tier item, the [Scroll of Radiant Stars], has slightly looser restrictions on quantity.

Although it is similarly rare, it can also be used to enter the Astral Realm. However, the holder can only linger around the outer region of the Astral Realm, and there is a time limit.

Faustus carefully finished reading these records, and his heart surged with emotion.

The Scroll of Astral Prosperity... was actually this precious!

Especially an existence like the Astral Realm—unless a star system’s lifespan naturally came to an end, turning it into dead silence, and then another million long years passed, there would only then be a chance for an entirely new star system to be born.

And this newborn world would actually exist for merely one hundred years!

One had to know that in the Endless Starsea, it was very common for supreme-grade powerhouses to live for tens of thousands of years, and it was not strange for Divine-grade powerhouses to exist for hundreds of thousands of years.

To them, a hundred years was nothing more than the blink of an eye.

Precisely because of that, grasping this hundred-year opportunity was all the more precious.

The Astral Realm was undoubtedly an incomparably rare existence.

"With the Scroll of Astral Prosperity, it is equivalent to obtaining the key to enter the Astral Realm."

Daniel put the scroll away.

After counting all the gains from this trip, he felt utterly refreshed.

Both the Divine-grade secret treasure and the Sacred Art were top-grade. The Scroll of Astral Prosperity was even something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought after.

The harvest from this trip was truly enormous.

Only then did Daniel turn his gaze toward the tournament grounds.

The arenas that had previously been divided into several independent spaces had now been restored to their original state.

The powerhouses of Budelica Starfield were busily arranging the venue.

An Oracle-grade powerhouse’s transmission of mysteries was an extremely particular matter, especially when that powerhouse was a T8 Oracle-grade!

Countless Divine-grade powerhouses were rushing about, laying the ground with top-grade Sacred Materials, decorating the surroundings with rare spiritual flowers and spiritual trees. There were even Divine-grade powerhouses individually using their Immortal Singularities to give rise to all kinds of rare, top-grade items.

Just then, Dustin’s voice sounded beside Daniel’s ear.

"Daniel."

"Dustin, is something the matter?"

Dustin’s voice was calm, and even carried a trace of closeness.

"Before I left the Chaosverse, His Excellency Hyman specifically instructed me to pay attention to your existence. He said that you possess the potential of a great Oracle-grade being. Although we Chaos Humans have left this homeland for far, far too long, the homeland still remains here. It needs you to protect it."

"I also benefited greatly from this battle with you."

Dustin chuckled softly.

"In the past, I was far too arrogant. It was your appearance that made me wake up."

Daniel blinked, then also smiled.

"My battle with you also broadened my horizons and allowed me to understand just how vast the Endless Starsea truly is."

"You joined Golden Holy Mountain?"

Dustin suddenly asked.

Daniel’s thoughts shifted, and he probed, "Do the Chaos Humans also want me to join them?"

"Don’t overthink it."

Dustin hurriedly explained, "We exist in different universes. If we made you join the Chaos Humans, it would bring you no benefit, and it would bring no benefit to the homeland either."

Daniel nodded slightly.

The Chaosverse and the current universe were, after all, two independent universes. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Between the two great universes, slaughter and conflict often broke out over the struggle for benefits.

There was a tacit understanding between Daniel and the Chaos Humans—the Chaos Humans would not ask him to join them. They would only show goodwill.

Daniel had chosen Golden Holy Mountain, while also maintaining goodwill toward the Chaos Humans.

Otherwise, Dustin would never have been able to leave alive after fighting him.

If Daniel unleashed the full power of his Crusader’s Physique, then even if Dustin was not killed on the spot, he would still undoubtedly die.

"Then what is this about?" Daniel asked in confusion.

"It is like this..."

Dustin slowly explained, "You share a bloodline connection with us Chaos Humans. I came here under the ancestor’s orders. Aside from participating in the tournament, there is one other matter—I am here to invite you to go to the Astral Realm together!"

What?

The Astral Realm!

Daniel was slightly stunned.

An ultimate secret realm like the Astral Realm—and Dustin was actually inviting him to go there together?

"You possess a Scroll of Astral Prosperity?" Daniel asked.

"How could a treasure like that be something I am qualified to possess?"

Dustin smiled and shook his head.

"The Scroll of Astral Prosperity is extremely rare and extremely miraculous. It can even recognize its master on its own. Unless one is a child of fortune, they can forget about obtaining it!"

"I do not have that kind of treasure, but I do have a Scroll of Radiant Stars."

Dustin said, "The Scroll of Radiant Stars can also grant passage into the Astral Realm, and it is relatively easier to obtain. This time, I brought two scrolls with me. One of them is something the ancestor entrusted me to give to you."

"Then I truly must thank you. Please convey my gratitude to the ancestor on my behalf!"

Aside from being shocked, Daniel was also deeply touched.

Separated by two great universes, that human ancestor was actually still thinking of him, and had even gone so far as to take out an entry pass to the Astral Realm for him!

He did not reveal the fact that he had already obtained a Scroll of Astral Prosperity.

He had originally known that the Scroll of Astral Prosperity was extremely rare, but he had not expected it to be rare to such an extent.

He was worried that once this news was exposed, it would attract the covetous eyes of great Oracle-grade beings.

Although he had Golden Holy Mountain as a backer in the current universe and did not fear a great Oracle-grade being launching a sneak attack from the shadows, what if the Astral Realm was located in another universe, beyond Golden Holy Mountain’s reach?

Therefore, he had to act with discretion.

"Easy enough. Once the matters here come to an end, I will give you the Scroll of Radiant Stars and explain the details of the Astral Realm clearly to you," Dustin said solemnly.

This time, he had come carrying two missions.

The first was to participate in the tournament.

The second was to invite Daniel to go to the Astral Realm together.

Therefore, no matter how fiercely they had fought to the death during the competition, Dustin had never harbored killing intent toward Daniel.

Of course, even if he had harbored killing intent, it would have been useless.

Daniel’s strength was far above his!
