501: Chapter 501 The Treasures Left Behind by the Illusionary Moon Star Lord

"Because of the Source Power concentration!"

"Source Power?"

Xiao Weiqing was bewildered. "Be more specific. What is Source Power?"

Xiaoyue said solemnly, "The Power of Origin, the foundation of all matter, the energy from the beginning of the Universe's birth—we call it Source Power."

"Isn't it called cosmic energy or divine charm?"

"No."

"cosmic energy is a general term. To be precise, it's called Source Power, which is what you call divine charm."

"As for Spiritual Qi, that is Source Power evolved due to the special rules of the Incubation Ground; it's only useful within your Incubation Ground."

"In the Universe, there are tens of millions of Incubation Grounds. Some have magic, some have Origin Qi, and others have Battle Qi—there are all kinds."

"But it doesn't matter; all civilizations in the Fifth Universe call it cosmic energy. It's just a name."

Xiao Weiqing's eyes shook slightly; this was the first time he had heard of this.

"So, is Starry Sky Martial Arts also because of Source Power?"

Xiaoyue looked surprised, then said, "Smart. That's exactly it."

"Starry Sky Martial Arts is driven by Source Power and is incredibly powerful. However, the concentration on Blue Star is low, so its power is limited. If you were outside the Incubation Ground, the same strike would be far more powerful than on Blue Star."

"The Innate Skills you learned on Blue Star are also difficult to exert power in the starry sky because Spiritual Qi cannot compare to Source Power."

"Source Power is backward compatible, and so are Starry Sky Martial Arts."

"But your Blue Star's Spiritual Qi is not upward compatible, and the same goes for Innate Skills."

Xiao Weiqing nodded, roughly understanding Xiaoyue's meaning.

Xiaoyue continued, "Actually, the Star Lord Realm is barely considered stepping into the ranks of the strong. But human power has its limits; the total amount of Source Power in a human body compared to the Universe—no, there's simply no comparison."

"I'm afraid only experts of the Undying Realm can fight endlessly without being restricted by the environment. However, I cannot even describe such existences."

"Understood."

Xiao Weiqing stepped forward.

He reached out again.

Xiaoyue stopped him, "Hey, after all I've said, do you still not understand?"

"The box has a Restriction left by my master. The Source Power is thick and incredibly pure; you won't be able to open it."

"Is that so?"

"I don't believe it!"

Boom~

Flames overflowed from Xiao Weiqing's palm, and his five fingers turned golden.

"Pfft~"

His fingers easily passed through the blood-colored ball of light.

"Snap!"

The box was opened.

Xiaoyue was dumbfounded, her eyes wide with shock.

"How is this possible?"

"How can this be?"

Xiaoyue was certain that without her help, Xiao Weiqing would never be able to open the box, but things had gone contrary to her expectations.

"Anything is possible," Xiao Weiqing smiled as he looked at the treasure in the box—a Blood-red Jade Bracelet with several cracks, looking as if it might shatter at any moment.

Xiao Weiqing picked it up and examined it. "What is this?"

Xiaoyue remained silent.

"Tell me. I definitely won't take it; this belongs to Wei Lan."

Xiaoyue sighed, "A defensive treasure that can block attacks, but it's about to be destroyed."

"Is that so?"

Xiao Weiqing didn't think much of it and put the bracelet down.

He walked to the second table and reached in again.

"Don't, don't."

Xiaoyue saw the flames in Xiao Weiqing's hand and hurriedly stopped him.

Xiao Weiqing turned to look at Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue stepped forward helplessly and took out a blood-red bead from her bosom.

Suddenly.

The boxes on the remaining four tables seemed to sense something and opened automatically.

"Wouldn't it have been easier to do this from the start?"

Xiao Weiqing looked at the contents of the second box.

It was a thirty-centimeter flying dagger, thin as a cicada's wing and entirely blood-red. It was very beautiful, with a surface smooth as a mirror; it was clearly no ordinary item.

"So light?"

When he took the flying dagger, Xiao Weiqing couldn't feel even a trace of weight.

"Of course. The Blood Cicada is a Grade 2 Divine Weapon. Depending on the user's Divine Soul power, it can transform into up to ten thousand Blood Blades. Although light, it is incredibly sharp, with cutting power comparable to a Grade 3 Divine Weapon."

"Ten thousand?"

Xiao Weiqing asked curiously.

Xiaoyue raised her head. "Yes, impressive, right?"

"Then when the Phantom Moon Star Lord fought the Mechanical Race, why did she only manifest a few hundred blades, not even a thousand? Was her strength insufficient?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"You must have seen it wrong."

Xiaoyue retorted.

"No, I saw it with my own eyes when I took the assessment last time." Xiao Weiqing pointed to his eyes and raised an eyebrow.

"You must have seen wrong. At that time, you were only in the Seventh Realm. How could you clearly see a battle between Star Lords?"

Xiao Weiqing said with certainty, "My eyes definitely didn't see it wrong."

"I don't believe it. Don't even think about lying to me."

Xiao Weiqing shrugged. "Whatever you say."

Then.

He came to the third table. Xiao Weiqing had seen this treasure before; it was a Red Battle Suit worn by the Phantom Moon Star Lord.

On the fourth table, there was a lump of iron in the box, looking somewhat like a tortoise shell with some patterns on it.

"Xiaoyue, what is this?"

"A Divine Soul Method left by my master."

"It was originally intended for the Little Master, but before Master left, she said the Little Master already had one, so this Divine Soul Method was discarded."

"Oh?"

Xiao Weiqing became interested. "Look, leaving this Divine Soul Method here is just a waste. Why not give it to me?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't take a single thing?"

"Uh..."

Xiao Weiqing was a bit tongue-tied and quickly explained, "I definitely won't take anything else. But since you said this Divine Soul Method is discarded, why not do me a favor and give it to me?"

"What do you want it for?"

"Your Divine Soul is incredibly powerful. Master said your Divine Soul Method is better than her Family's, so it would be useless to you, right?"

"Of course, it's not for my own use. But I can take it back for our Blue Star Civilization to use. Divine Soul Methods are scarce in our Blue Star Civilization, and even fewer people can Cultivate a Divine Soul."

"This..."

Xiaoyue hesitated. Xiao Weiqing's Blue Star Civilization was also the Little Master's civilization. In principle, it could be given to Xiao Weiqing; increasing the strength of the Blue Star Civilization would also be a good thing for the Little Master.

"Xiao Weiqing, do you know the precautions for practicing a Divine Soul Method?"

"What precautions?"

This was the first time Xiao Weiqing had heard of this. When he first obtained the Star Contemplation Method, he was too happy to think about such things.

Now, hearing Xiaoyue's words, there were apparently some nuances to practicing Divine Soul Methods that he didn't know about.

Xiaoyue said slowly, "The Family my master belongs to is quite powerful in the Universe, but being powerful also means having many strong enemies."

"If your civilization all Cultivates the Divine Soul Method left by my master, you will automatically be classified as part of her Family's allied camp."

"If you encounter hostile forces in the future, you might suffer an attack without even realizing it."

Xiao Weiqing asked, "How would others know we've practiced the Phantom Moon Star Lord's Divine Soul Method?"
