Chapter 1366: Drawing the Line at Naxuan Palace

Pure Nine-Lotus Treasure Lamp.

Cheng Yunlan asked, "Which star domain's household registration is it from the Central Dao Field?"

Lu Jing replied, "The Zixiao Star River Domain!"

As is widely known, the Central Dao Field inherits the lineage of Daoist Master Zixiao. Consequently, its most central star domain is named Zixiao, also serving as the very heart of this universe. To illustrate its prestige, if compared to the Xuankong Dao Field, only Daoist Lord Xuankong himself possesses the qualifications for household registration in the Zixiao Domain. For others seeking to settle there, the difficulty is immense; even someone of Cheng Yunlan's stature has waited in line for a thousand years without success.

"Junior Brother Chen, I hadn't realized you also enjoy a good joke," Cheng Yunlan said to Chen Mobai, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, as he turned with his gentlest smile.

"What's this about Central registration? I'm completely in the dark!"

Chen Mobai, however, looked utterly bewildered. He had never once visited the Central Dao Field in his entire life. Could it be that the spirit of Purple Cloud Palace had already reincarnated and arranged it for him? That would be far too quick!

"The household registration for every Void Refinement cultivator at the Xuankong Dao Field must be reported to the Central Dao Field, which allows True King Taixu to manage the collapse and retraction of the cosmic void. After I entered Junior Brother Chen's registration details, I discovered he was already registered in the Zixiao Domain of the Central Dao Field. As a subordinate Dao Field, we cannot access your full records. However, transferring your registration to Wangxing is now certainly out of the question," Lu Jing explained apologetically.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately asked his most pressing question: "So, about that sixth-tier immortal's cave — is it still being offered?"

Even before checking the time, Chen Mobai gasped. There were two male cultivators, and Geomancy Star recognized one of them. Before Xuan Gong could even speak, Chen Mobai had already nodded emphatically, signaling her to register the eighth-tier immortal's cave that Sheng Xian had taken a liking to, and transfer its ownership to Geomancy Star's name.

A quarter of an hour later, Geomancy Star's household registration file was displayed on the screen.

"If Master Uncle Cheng refuses, our Xuanyang Galaxy will fully cooperate."

After Chen Mobai understood the reason for Geomancy Star's Central registration, he wanted to befriend him even more. This was a genius even more outstanding than himself.

Cheng Yunlan, speaking for Liao Shengxian, also gave a definitive reply. "After your Zixiao breakthrough, Master Uncle Chen will likely gradually entrust you with the guardianship of the Xuanyang Galaxy. After all, compared to the cultivation conditions and resources of the Xuankong Seven Stars, the Xuanyang Galaxy is quite barren."

"Is the Daoist Lord's home territory located there? Are there any specific star domains you require? These are all unclaimed by any forces; you may draw your own boundaries."

This was precisely why, when Ancestor Longlian and other Divine Transformation cultivators from the Immortal Sect departed, they couldn't simply transport themselves to planets that could replenish their energy.

"Then I'll first record the lines drawn by the Daoist Lord. When the next version of the star map is updated, I'll report it and incorporate those into Song Qingyi Immortal Sect's territory."

"Greetings, Fushang Star. Congratulations on achieving the Innate Grand Dao of Zixiao; your future is boundless." Despite this, Cheng Yunlan's own state of mind was quite good; she was very pleased with her own success. In fact, after learning of Geomancy Star's origins from Xuan Gong, she specifically brought Bai Yilin to wait here.

For a cultivator to achieve Zixiao, they must integrate with the Grand Dao, becoming inextricably linked to the Grand Dao of the Liao Sheng universe. The Dharma realm cultivated at this stage will embody the power of the Liao Sheng universe's Grand Dao. Should a truly destructive universal catastrophe occur, the power of doom would infiltrate through this connection, making escape impossible.

"Congratulations, Fushang Star, on your Zixiao breakthrough. May you live for ten thousand years." Bai Yilin was the first to speak. The male cultivator beside her was tall and slender, with brown hair and rather stern facial features. This region, bordering Wangxing, effectively forms the frontier of the Central Dao Field. Spiritual energy here is sparse, and demon cultivators occasionally emerge from Wangxing. Consequently, any influential forces within the Xuanyang Galaxy typically send people to develop this area.

Halfway through drawing, he saw the Liao Sheng Void, which was even darker and almost ten thousand times the size of the Xuanyang Galaxy.

Thinking this way, Geomancy Star exited his data page and left with Chen Mobai.

Before Geomancy Star finished his tea with Liao Shengxian, he returned to his temporary immortal's cave. Just as he was about to use the realm gate to check for resources in that universe that could aid in Dao integration, he found someone waiting at the door.

His successful Zixiao breakthrough should have brought him glory, but now there was little attention paid.

Geomancy Star invited the two men into the room and then spoke about Song Qingyi's matter. After all, Master Uncle Chen, as a Zixiao, usually didn't manage affairs much in the Xuanyang Galaxy; it was mostly handled by Cheng Yunlan and a few other disciples.

When will I also be able to utter such bold ambitions?

Chen Mobai's words made Geomancy Star slightly suspicious, thinking, "Could my long-deceased parents actually have been Central Dao Field registrants with hidden identities?"

Conveniently, this was how Xuankong Lianxu had managed things. Chen Mobai believed his master would surely appreciate Liao Shengxian, considering him a genius. Perhaps with some guidance, the Xuankong Dao Field could even produce its seventh True Immortal.

Thus, only by cultivating a Dharma realm and subsequently integrating it with a Grand Heavenly Scripture, can one truly transcend in the future and evolve into a new universe. Originally, I used the Dharma realm to refine a Grand Heavenly Scripture, thereby completing the Genesis. According to the Central Dao Field's regulations, this was considered a direct lineage of the Xuanmen, though I hadn't anticipated such a specific method of inheritance.

Geomancy Star, thinking of this, expanded the lines he had intended to retract, encircling the entire Wangxing, under the widened eyes of Liao Shengxian and the other male. He hoped that this ascension would lead to becoming a first-tier True Immortal. If the correct path could be found, it might be possible to retroactively integrate with the Innate Grand Dao related to sacred virtue.

Huo Gaoyuan, who had not left, also recovered from his shock and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. At that moment, he deeply regretted why he usually didn't care about Xu Lingwei. If he could establish a connection with Liao Shengxian, he might be looked upon favorably by his master.

"Can I apply to the Central Dao Field to view my own household registration archives and information in my own name?" Geomancy Star asked directly, unable to understand.

"Absolutely no such possibility. Before your wife left Song Qingyi, she was wandering in the star domains around the Xuankong Dao Field. Later, she went to find the true body of the God of Death for her hometown. She probably doesn't even know which direction the Central Dao Field is in."

"What's wrong? I see that Wangxing is also empty, so I'll draw it in first. If I can integrate with the Dao in the future, I'll organize it and see if it can be developed into my Dao Field, and at the same time expand the territory for the Central Dao Field."

If one does not possess local household registration, Master Uncle's immortal's cave needs to be resided in for a full hundred years before it can be purchased.

The Central Dao Field, with a Pure Yang True Immortal presiding, is the core of this universe. Because it controls the quota for refining the void, the process for gaining citizenship is exceedingly strict; even the influence of many True Immortals and Void Refinement cultivators proves ineffective.

"It's all ephemeral. No matter how great the talent, if it cannot be transformed into a higher cultivation realm, then at the end of one's lifespan, it ultimately becomes nothing more than a tombstone."

All the cultivators associated with Master Uncle were discussing Liao Shengxian, who had stepped into the Innate Grand Dao of Sacred Virtue. Thinking of this, Geomancy Star recalled the "Dao Integration Flower," a celestial treasure worth a hundred Dao merits.

Even Liao Shengxian felt that compared to Geomancy Star, his own vision was too limited. And Geomancy Star's origin was clear and clean here, indeed a Phoenix cultivator from Song Qingyi. According to what he said, he has a wife outside. It couldn't be that his wife gained citizenship and then also moved his (the Dao companion's) household registration there, could it?

"That's possible."

Geomancy Star immediately shook his head, indicating that White Light could not possibly have that ability.

As he spoke, Geomancy Star had already turned to the next page, seeing the reason for naturalization: Accepted! After Song Qingyi's matter was resolved, for Geomancy Star, whether or not he was registered with Master Uncle was no longer important.

Demon cultivators, true spirits, evil paths, and other forces were entangled within. Xuankong Lianxu only managed his own territory, and the Central Dao Field had no comment on this, so it became a no-man's land.

Geomancy Star, however, was unmoved by such accolades. After all, he had heard such words many times in the Immortal Sect, like "peerless genius," and "potential to become an immortal."

And after Chen Mobai saw the true reason for Geomancy Star's naturalization, he slightly relaxed, and at the same time was even more amazed by Geomancy Star's talent.

Cheng Yunlan knew that Liao Shengxian's Innate Sacred Virtue Zixiao meant a vast future, and coupled with his master being a good friend, he tried his best to provide convenience and befriend him. He unfurled a Dao Field star map of the Central Northern Territory, enlarged it, and pointed to the distant dark star field of Song Qingyi, saying,

"Daoist Lord, that..."

"Thank you, two junior nephews."

Thinking this way, it seemed that Central registration was indeed not bad. If Geomancy Star had been Central-registered since childhood, it would mean he was naturally noble. But if he settled later, it would mean either there was a powerful force behind him, or he had someone in the Central Dao Field. In other words, at that time, he had already entered the Central Dao Field's sight.

"Even if a disciple of Wangji Lianxu wants to be registered in the Lujing Domain, they still have to honestly wait in line for a quota," Chen Mobai, however, said with a serious tone.

No wonder Fushang Star could step into the Innate Grand Dao, while I could only enter the Grand Dao of Clouds by following the rules.

"Since no one wants it, then I'll assign it all to you."

The management of the Xuankong Dao Field was also very loose. Besides the core region, in other star domains, as long as they obeyed the decrees of the Xuankong Seven Stars, all major forces had great autonomy.

"Then I'll trouble Senior Brother."

Liao Shengxian, who had just achieved Zixiao, his lips slightly trembled, wanting to speak but holding back.

Geomancy Star always believed more was better; regardless of whether he could manage it all, as long as sovereignty was established first. Senior Sister Tianhai and Senior Sister Guiling are both gone. As their junior brother, it is necessary to help them manage Wangxing.

Chen Mobai and the others were all new disciples taken in by Xuankong Lianxu after the Calamity of the Demon Lord. Why are Xuankong Lianxu's current Zixiao disciples all in the prime of their lives? Besides the older generation passing away, it's also because quite a few died during the Calamity of the Demon Lord. Liao Shengxian's small Dao Integration Flower was improved from a true Dao Integration Flower. It's also possible that within the Xuankong Dao Field, there truly is a first-tier Dao Integration Flower.

After Wangxing was annihilated, that place became a forbidden area.

"So what exactly is going on with Junior Brother's household registration? It can't be that he was born in the Central Dao Field and then brought to Liao Shengxian from a young age due to special reasons, can it?"

With the Zixiao memory, Geomancy Star quickly thought of what "Accepted" meant.

"Junior Brother was actually registered in the Lujing Domain 130 years ago..."

"My immortal's cave transfer will take some time. While that's happening, I'll first go back to Xu Lingwei and Liao Shengxian's place to have a look."

That background must be extremely influential. However, the Xuankong Dao Field probably doesn't have it, but the Central Dao Field definitely does.

However, household registration in the Central Dao Field is superior to that of any location within the Xuankong Dao Field, especially the highly esteemed Lujing Domain registration.

"We will give it. Although Junior Brother is not registered in my Wangxing, which is against the rules, I will resolve that."

This man was none other than Master Uncle Chen's eldest disciple, Cheng Yunlan.

"No wonder Junior Brother could step into the Innate Grand Dao. His talent is so high, it can be said he is the foremost talent in the Xuankong Dao Field for ten thousand years."

If a true great calamity comes, the safest place in the entire Lujing universe would be the Lujing Domain, where Dao Ancestor Taixu is stationed. Capable of instant escape.

After finishing that matter, Geomancy Star put all the items he had left in that immortal's cave into his Dharma realm, and then handed the key to Bai Yilin.

Geomancy Star also smiled and greeted the two men. It just so happened that if his immortal's cave transfer was completed, he planned to move out from here. Since Liao Shengxian wasn't present, handing the key to his disciple was the same.
