What Kind of Inversion Sea Seventh Layer Is This

　　The cultivators in the star domain have recently discovered a strange phenomenon.　　The dead stars in the star domain seem to be gradually decreasing.　　Some of the commonly seen dead stars would suddenly disappear, no one knows where they went or how to find them.　　Although the cultivators are puzzled, they did not pay too much attention to it. After all, dead stars are not rare resources; they are something left untouched in the star domain.　　And because they more or less affect the mental state of cultivators, dead stars are somewhat despised by them. Now that they are disappearing, it is like roadside garbage being cleaned up.　　The cultivators were surprised only out of curiosity about how such large dead stars could vanish all at once.　　And this "garbage collector" turned out to be Chen Xia.　　He devoured these dead stars, and those he couldn't finish devouring, he took back to the Dead Star Domain, waiting to absorb them slowly later on.　　After devouring and absorbing, he didn't discard the dead stars but placed them in the Dead Star Domain as resting places for souls, nurturing even more powerful souls.　　Chen Xia's current goal is to move all the dead stars from the star domain to the Dead Star Domain and then devour and absorb them.　　This can accelerate his cultivation, allowing him to break through from the first level of the Heaven Mending realm to the second level within a century.　　For cultivators at the Heaven Mending realm, this is an extremely terrifying speed of cultivation, almost no one can keep up with him.　　Others cultivate step by step, first reaching the standard of spiritual energy, then comprehending the great way, breaking through the boundary limits of mind and spirit, and finally advancing.　　Chen Xia doesn't need to do that; he just devours dead stars, getting stronger the more he swallows.　　It's straightforward and clear.　　Moreover, his method of cultivation does not require enlightenment. Since merging with the Dead Star Domain, he has become the entire Dead Star Domain.　　Have you ever heard of the Dead Star Domain achieving enlightenment?　　That's not a thing.　　He only needs to gather enough power from the dead stars to naturally break through.　　In fact, now measuring Chen Xia's combat strength by realm is incorrect; it should be represented by the number of dead stars.　　Chen Xia thought for a moment. His current avatar's combat strength is roughly equivalent to the seventh level of the Heaven Mending realm, which is why he was beaten by Fisherman. This is due to the difference in realms.　　So he rarely goes out now, fearing he might encounter some reclusive top powerhouse and get disciplined again.　　Actually, this is Chen Xia's overthinking.　　In the entire star domain, he is already considered a reclusive top powerhouse.　　As for entities like Fisherman, they can only be described as relics from the previous generation, confined to the Azure Heaven Sword Sea.　　There are very few Quasi-Saints in the whole star domain, not even enough to fill one hand, with only four in total.　　Two or three of them include the deceased Fisherman and the former Azure Heaven Sword Sea Sect Master.　　This means that currently, there are at most two powerhouses in the star domain who can be called Saints.　　Chen Xia rubbed his head, recalling carefully.　　During his time in the Azure Heaven Sword Sea, he had heard of the powerhouses in the star domain bearing the title of Saint.　　There were four people, with two coming from the Azure Heaven Sword Sea, among whom only the Sect Master was the sole true Saint, while the others were Quasi-Saints.　　Fisherman doesn't need much explanation; he is the Quasi-Saint Chen Xia understands best and has actually engaged in combat with.　　As for the other two Quasi-Saints, Chen Xia has only heard their names but never met them in person or seen any portraits. It's said they have been in seclusion for ten thousand years, their fates unknown.　　After the great reckoning of the last era, these two Quasi-Saints may have passed away.　　If so, Chen Xia would definitely laugh sorrowfully.　　Therefore, the current openly known Quasi-Saint combat strength in the star domain is essentially Fisherman alone.　　Below him, the Heaven Mending realm cultivators are quite scarce, as seen in the late period of the Azure Heaven Sword Sea, when Elder Three was only at the first level of the Heaven Mending realm, while the Sect Master was a Saint.　　Even the ancient Sword Emperor existed within the sword sea.　　At that time, what the Azure Heaven Sword Sea lacked most were the middle pillars of the Heaven Mending realm.　　Not even a fifth-level Heaven Mending realm cultivator could be found, indicating a serious gap between generations.　　This was a sign before the end of the great era, after which various Heaven Mending realm cultivators would emerge like bamboo shoots after spring rain.　　For example, several of the original fourteen sons of Azure Heaven have already stepped into the Heaven Mending realm, standing at the peak of the current star domain, awaiting future imperial road contests.　　Emperor Capital and Qiu Li will follow suit, not falling too far behind.　　The only one who might be in danger is Li Yang.　　Last time Chen Xia saw Li Yang, he estimated Li Yang's strength to be at the seventh layer of the Inverse Sea realm, still a long way from the Heaven Mending realm.　　Falling behind during the imperial road contest could mean lagging behind in every subsequent step.　　Of the fourteen sons of Azure Heaven, said to be emperor seedlings, not everyone can become an emperor.　　In an era spanning tens of thousands of years, only a few can walk the imperial path. Being outstanding isn't enough; one must be the foremost among the outstanding.　　One can also achieve greatness late, but this achievement must surpass everyone else.　　Of course, the competition for the imperial road does not include Chen Xia.　　He doesn't need to rely on the imperial road; he only needs to wait day after day, year after year, cycling thousands or tens of thousands of times.　　Finally, one day.　　He will become invincible.　　This is both Chen Xia's fortune and his curse.　　Sitting on a lonely dead star, gazing at the profound starry sky, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.　　Immortality is just like this, isn't it?　　———　　Within the boundary domain.　　Since that day Wang Yangzi returned to his dwelling, he has been uneasy.　　He fears.　　Afraid that given Chen Xia's character, he might not get along with the other six cultivators participating in the Great Dead Star Domain battle.　　This is highly likely since these six cultivators are well-known figures in the upper echelons of the boundary domain, their families having significant influence. They are all Heaven Mending realm cultivators who might look down upon a mere Inverse Sea realm alchemy master.　　Ultimately, in the boundary domain, strength is paramount. Before these family heirs, alchemy merely adds luster to strength and doesn't count for much.　　If Chen Xia is arrogant, they might very well come to blows.　　Thinking of this, Wang Yangzi worries about Chen Xia's safety. Even if nothing happens, severe injuries wouldn't be good either.　　After all, Chen Xia has a Quasi-Saint backing him.　　Under this concern, Wang Yangzi thoroughly investigated Chen Xia's past deeds.　　After this investigation,　　he became even more afraid.　　Not afraid for Chen Xia, but afraid that the other six cultivators might not return.　　Mainly because Chen Xia's deeds are truly shocking.　　Beating same-realm cultivators like dogs, crushing ordinary Heaven Mending realm cultivators, and later even defeating a fifth-level Heaven Mending realm cultivator from Mount Triumph.　　Now, the collected information tells Wang Yangzi that Chen Xia is only a seventh-layer Inverse Sea realm cultivator.　　???　　What kind of seventh-layer Inverse Sea realm is this?　　Seventy layers can't be this strong!
