Chapter 450 - 434: Star Core! (3/3)
"Star Core?" Zhou Heng asked, puzzled.
He knew of Demon Cores, which equated to the Dantian space of a Demon Beast. He knew of Spirit Cores, which were the essence of Spirit Stones condensed... Huo Tian could produce Spirit Cores during her cultivation, but who would dare let her cultivate?
But, what was a Star Core?
"A Star Core is the core of a planet, harboring billions or even hundreds of billions of years of the planet’s accumulated energy!" Old Swindler said very seriously.
"So that’s how it is!"
Zhou Heng finally understood. No wonder the Black Sword had always aimed for the Earth’s Core—it must have sensed the Star Core! However, the layers of earth were extremely thick, so it was undetectable in most places, with only a few small areas where it could be sensed.
Yet another question arose: The masters of the Four Great Death Places must have come from other planets, arriving through the Star Gate for the obvious purpose of contending for the Star Core to aid in their becoming immortal! But why? Did their planets not have Star Cores, forcing them to come here?
"Does the Star Core need time to ’mature’?" Zhou Heng didn’t know which word to use.
"Mature?" Old Swindler repeated and then laughed, "Your perception isn’t bad, you’re not wrong calling it mature! A Star Core is not something that can simply form; it only emerges when a planet approaches the end of its life, funneling all its energy into a small core—that is the Star Core!"
"So, the object of contention between the Great Eternal Emperor and the masters of the Four Great Death Places back in the day was Xuanqian Star’s Star Core?" Zhou Heng said.
