Chapter 10: The Star Bracelet and the Exquisite Star Stone

At this moment, cautiously attempting to draw out a trace of stellar power from the star core, it seemed to encounter no obstacles at all. That trace of stellar energy directly entered the body through the black star at the center of the brow, bringing a surge of joy to the heart. This time, there was no restraint; the stellar power within the star core surged forth as if stimulated by something, forming a clearly visible golden beam within the body. This beam was not much different in size from what was experienced during nighttime cultivation, yet Xu Yun faintly sensed a violent power within it.

The Era of Qianyuan is divided into five major chapters: Nations, Geography, Races, Powers, and Wonders

Forget it, do not be overly ambitious; obtaining a Naxing bracelet is already enough to bring joy. Being too greedy would not be wise. He put away the black stone in his hand, closed his eyes, and took a couple of deep breaths of the morning breeze, feeling much more at ease in his heart

I never expected it to be the Naxing bracelet

In the southern region, the population primarily consists of humans and barbarians. The so-called barbarians are not significantly different from humans; they are merely stronger in physique, yet their intelligence is considerably lower than that of humans. The northern domain is largely occupied by the Star Demon Clan, which is also known as the Star Beast. The Eastern Continent is the territory of humans and serves as the gathering place for their strongest forces. In the Eastern Continent, any foreign race that steps in is destined to die. The Western River region is particularly peculiar, being half desert and half rainforest, filled with countless large and small races, making it the most chaotic area on the entire continent.

As Xu Yunzhen was astonished by the might of the Star God Palace, he couldn't help but think of the Star Tower in the capital of the Martial Kingdom, which was even more magnificent than the imperial palace. It was a place he had long yearned to visit, yet he had never been able to approach it within a hundred miles. It was not that he did not want to, but rather that he could not; the tower seemed to be surrounded by some kind of restriction, preventing anyone from stepping even a single pace closer.

Three days later, in the early morning

Qin Hu once said that to harness the stellar power within the star core, one must rely on the power of their own natal star to resonate with the stellar power in the star core, thereby drawing the stellar power from the core into their body. This method is indeed simple

Xu Yun quickly shifted his gaze away from the black stone, having basically confirmed in his heart that this stone should be the Linglong Star Stone. However, he could not figure out how to use it, and he had no idea when the Star Tower would open again.

Carefully opening this worn book titled "Qianyuan Era," I began to read it earnestly

Xu Yun himself did not expect that this Star-absorbing Bracelet, obtained from Yan Yu, would possess a space of over one hundred square meters. However, what truly caught his attention were the only two items within the bracelet: a black stone and a book titled "The Era of Qianyuan"

The ability to steal is contingent upon opportunity, but I still have one chance left to acquire a star technique that I have not yet used. I should be able to select a similar star technique now. Xu Yun thought of this and felt an indescribable sense of ease in his heart. Initially, he had perused over ten thousand star techniques, yet none were suitable for cultivation. Ultimately, it was through a twist of fate that he obtained a technique called "Falling Star." However, this time, there should be no issues.

I suppose that old man must be missing me quite a bit. Xu Yunqing chuckled softly, flipping her palm to reveal a gold ingot grasped in her hand. This piece of gold is equivalent to a hundred taels of silver. Speaking of which, I really must thank Yan Yu for this; not only did he send me treasures, but he also sent me wealth.

The Qianyuan Continent is vast and boundless, home to numerous races and countless large and small nations, with majestic mountains and rivers. It is divided into five regions: the Southern Frontier, the Northern Domain, the Eastern Continent, the Western River, and the seemingly endless sea of stars surrounding the entire Qianyuan Continent. The Wu Kingdom is merely a small nation located in the remote area of the Southern Frontier, yet this small nation possesses a territory of a million miles and a population of several billion.

With a thought, an ancient book suddenly appeared in hand, or one might say it was worn and tattered, with even the cover showing signs of mold, a faint scent of decay wafting from it; however, under the starlight, the characters on the book could be clearly discerned

Although it was somewhat painful, the effect is indeed remarkable. Just one impact has caused this acupoint to crack open. With another, it will definitely be completely opened.

Xu Yun strode out of the attic, contemplating the full box of gold and five entire boxes of silver within the Star Ring. He resolved that the next time he encountered Yan Yu, he might consider granting him a quicker death.

Xu Yun took a moment to rest, clenched his fist tightly, and once again sat cross-legged to cultivate a star core.

However, after reading the "Qianyuan Era," I realized a truth: even if one dominates the outer sect, or even if the Yuandao Sect or the Martial Kingdom reigns supreme, they are merely frogs at the bottom of a well. To truly witness the vastness of this world, one must leap out of this well

Xu Yun stood up awkwardly, shook off the dust from his body, and his lips twitched unconsciously. "I still underestimated the power of the stars within this star core; this is no longer mere fury, it is simply life-threatening"

It must be said that the main theme of this world is powerful strength; without strength, one cannot move an inch. Xu Yun had to admit that powerful strength is intoxicating, and after last night's battle, a sense of complacency inevitably arose in his heart

At Ziji Peak, in the loft of the outer sect disciples' residence, Xu Yun sat cross-legged on a mat, playing with the Na Xing bracelet he had just received from the library. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing an unusual happiness.

It is rumored that the Star Bracelet is made from a meteorite from beyond the heavens, within which certain powerful star cultivators have endowed spatial abilities. Each one is exceptionally precious; however, despite its rarity, the Star Bracelet serves only one purpose, which is for storage. The internal space varies in size, with the smallest being less than ten square meters, valued at the equivalent of a thousand top-tier beast cores. The largest, however, possesses the ability to capture stars, and its value cannot be measured by reason.

What Xu Yun did not know was that the stellar power within the star core, while capable of aiding in the opening of meridians and orifices, could not directly impact as the naturally drawn stellar power could. This is because the stellar power in the boundless starry sky is inherently peaceful and also possesses some effects of healing the body and alleviating pain. In contrast, the violent stellar power within the star core is fundamentally the opposite of the natural stellar power.

Xu Yunjun's eyes suddenly opened, and on her body, there were faintly twenty-six obscure points of light that flashed and vanished, creating an invisible ripple that spread outward

After a moment, Xu Yun resolutely turned around and returned to sit cross-legged on the mat. With a flip of his palm, a star core the size of a chicken egg appeared in his hand

This stone is approximately the size of an adult's fist, covered all over with tiny holes, yet strangely, not a glimmer of light penetrates it. Moreover, the occasional flickers of black light that emerge from it seem to possess some kind of magical power, or perhaps have the ability to draw in one's spirit. Just gazing at it for a moment induces an indescribable heaviness in the mind.

Half a stick of incense later

Xu Yun's interest in this book stems from the fact that during his fifteen years of study, he had encountered some secret accounts in ancient texts, which informed him that the continent he resides in is called the Qianyuan Continent, and that the Wu Kingdom is merely a small nation within this vast land. However, beyond this, he knows little else. Now that he has the opportunity to learn more about these matters, he certainly will not let it slip by.

Uh... Suddenly, Xu Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, jumped up. Upon landing, his distorted face slammed directly onto the ground, and his body convulsed repeatedly.

It is likely that Li Ruo and the others will not let this matter rest, especially Yan Yu, who I severed an arm from and whose treasured possession I obtained. He must be going nearly insane by now. Xu Yun muttered to himself, but did not take this matter too seriously; the next time they meet, he would certainly be the one they need to look up to.

What truly astonished Xu Yun, however, was an organization known as "Star Temple," which is recognized across the continent as the controller of order

With this star core, one can indeed cultivate during the day. However, it is rumored that the star power contained within the star core possesses a hint of beastly nature, making it more violent than the stellar power found in the endless starry sky. Therefore, utilizing the star power from the star core to open the meridians and awaken the senses brings about threefold more pain, but the effects are also significantly more pronounced. Xu Yun thought of this and smiled nonchalantly; pain had long since become a habit for him. Ever since he embarked on the path of star cultivation, so-called pain was merely a form of tempering.

I do not know when I will be able to climb out of this well. Xu Yun let out a sigh, and with a flash of light in her hand, the tattered book vanished, only to be replaced by a black stone.

However, the Starry Hall opens once every ten years, and entry requires a peculiar item known as the Linglong Star Stone. This Linglong Star Stone is quite extraordinary; each time someone uses it to enter the Starry Hall, it automatically disappears and randomly reappears in a location on the continent, awaiting discovery by others

The main hall of the Star Temple is unknown in terms of its establishment date and exact location. However, its subordinate branches are spread throughout the Qianyuan and Tushuguo continents, comprising members from countless races. It is said that within it reside the Ten Elders of the Star God, all of whom are powerful figures of the Star Transformation Mirror, and they are the true controllers of the Star Temple

Under Xu Yun's tightly closed eyes, his face involuntarily turned pale for a moment. Although he was not afraid of pain, it seemed that this time would be particularly severe. Gritting his teeth, he no longer hesitated and directly channeled the violent golden thread towards a specific acupoint, his heart pounding in anticipation of the thrilling moment.

Ten thousand years ago, the Star Palace established a Star Tower in the capital of each nation through unknown means. It is said that this tower possesses the ability to connect to the heavens. Those who emerge from it not only gain celestial transformations but also have the opportunity to become disciples of the Star God Palace. In an instant, countless races across the Qianyuan Continent went into a frenzy.

Xu Yuncheng pondered for a moment, yet he did not dare to speak. A mere outer sect disciple ranked ninety-seventh, Li Ruo, possessed such extraordinary abilities. Those ranked above him must surely have a variety of methods at their disposal, and it could be assumed that they would not be too simple.

Until the night fell and the sun rose in the east, Xu Yuncai somewhat dazedly retracted the "Qianyuan Era" in his hand, stood up, and walked to the door, gazing blankly into the distance.

After three days and nights of cultivation, having consumed over sixty star cores, I have surprisingly opened up nine additional acupoints. These star cores are indeed miraculous. Xu Yun sensed the immense power brought by the twenty-six acupoints in his body, feeling an indescribable joy in his heart. At this moment, even without using "Falling Star," he should be among the best in this outer sect. If he unleashed his full power...

Xu Yun took a light breath, no longer hesitating, and her consciousness directly merged into her destined star. That sensation of becoming one with the universe reemerged. As her consciousness turned, she could faintly sense a highly condensed starlight in her hand, stirring restlessly; this must be the prototype of the star core.
