842: Chapter 842 Entering at midnight, 50,000 Holy Land Contribution Points

Swapping the locations of the Saints' Hall and the Inner Hall was something Su Yuan had completely unexpected.

“After over a thousand years of continuous research, the Star Suppressing Land now has a complete system for increasing star power values.”

Su Jingnian continued with a faint smile, “Members of the Immortal Realm can enter on odd-numbered days of the month, such as the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th, with each visit lasting twelve hours.”

“Members of the World Realm High-Rank and below can enter on even-numbered days, such as the 2nd, 4th, and 6th, with each visit lasting twenty-four hours.”

As she finished speaking, Su Yuan swept his Star Consciousness over his terminal device and saw that today was indeed an even-numbered day.

Therefore, a group of World Realm members were currently Cultivating inside the Star Suppressing Land.

“There are many Immortal Realm members, and their endurance is not as strong as that of World Realm members, so their duration is not very long.”

“Additionally, the Star Suppressing Land will be closed on the last day of every month, as the Eternal Realm Star Beast needs a day to recover its energy.”

“It is indeed an Eternal Realm Star Beast, but after nearly a month of consumption, it still needs to recover.”

“We call the golden, misty gas released by the Eternal Realm Star Beast 'eternal star source qi'. Inhaling this eternal star source qi increases one's star power value as well as World Power.”

“Immortal Realm members who have not yet mastered World Power will have other abilities enhanced instead.”

“As for what exactly that is, it varies from person to person, and the specific ability enhanced differs as well.”

At this moment, Su Yuan asked the question that puzzled him: “Venerable Nian, what about the Saints' Hall members? Don't they need to absorb the eternal star source qi to Cultivate?”

Venerable Nian had only mentioned members from the Immortal Realm up to the World Realm High-Rank, but had not mentioned the Saints' Hall members at the World Realm Peak.

Su Jingnian looked at Su Yuan and explained.

“There is an absorption limit to the eternal star source qi.”

“Over the course of more than a thousand years, the Immortal Saint and all of us Saints' Hall members have long since reached saturation in the eternal star source qi we've absorbed, making it impossible to improve further.”

“Absorbing any more eternal star source qi would have no effect whatsoever.”

Su Yuan nodded. “I understand, Venerable Nian.”

So that was how it was. The eternal star source qi actually had an absorption limit.

Indeed, if one could absorb eternal star source qi indefinitely, wouldn't everyone be able to reach the World Realm Peak?

Su Jingnian thought of another point: “You can absorb the eternal star source qi released by the Eternal Realm Star Beast without worry. There's no need to fear that it is some kind of anomalous energy.”

“During a century of observation, the Immortal Saint and the others meticulously researched the source of the eternal star source qi and whether it contained any special, anomalous substances.”

“Their research revealed no anomalies; the eternal star source qi belongs to the power of the Eternal Realm Star Beast's own Eternal Core.”

Su Yuan smiled and nodded. “I understand. Thank you for telling me, Venerable Nian.”

Presumably, this was the reason why the Shenyuan Holy Land had grown increasingly powerful after the Star Domain War ended.

The sudden arrival of the Eternal Realm Star Beast to release eternal star source qi was as good as helping the Shenyuan Holy Land recuperate and build up its strength.

But who exactly this 'heaven' was remained unknown after all.

Su Yuan thought to himself.

Then, Su Yuan continued to ask.

“Venerable Nian.”

“More than a thousand years have passed, and we still haven't found who placed the Eternal Realm Star Beast in the Shenyuan Holy Land?”

A thousand years was far too long for Su Yuan, enough time to accomplish many things.

With the Immortal Saint's abilities, it shouldn't be that nothing at all was uncovered after so much time.

Su Jingnian shook her head. “No, we have no clues at all.”

“There is absolutely no trace of its origin. The Eternal Realm Star Beast descended silently, without any warning.”

“I see.” Su Yuan was slightly surprised. It seemed the person behind the Eternal Realm Star Beast possessed heaven-defying abilities.

At the very least, they were an Eternal Realm existence, and not just any ordinary Eternal Realm.

To become an Eternal Realm was already extraordinary, but to Seal an Eternal Realm Star Beast was even more incredible, requiring unimaginably terrifying means.

Recalling what Shenxiao had said, the Eternal Realm Star Beast did indeed seem best described as 'some thing.'

Its race was unknown, and its appearance was definitely different from other Star Beasts.

For such a rare species with a mysterious origin, describing it as 'some thing' when its name was unknown was barely acceptable.

Chen Shenxiao silently listened to the conversation between Su Yuan and Su Jingnian without saying a word.

He had seen the Eternal Realm Star Beast inside the Star Suppressing Land. The first time he saw it was when he was seventeen and a half, when the Immortal Saint had taken him to see it.

After that meeting, he did not absorb any eternal star source qi, but merely took a few glances.

Even with Chen Shenxiao's memory, those few glances were not enough for him to remember what that Eternal Realm Star Beast looked like.

To this day, the Eternal Realm Star Beast remained extremely blurry in Chen Shenxiao's memory, with only the outline of a massive beastly shadow.

This indescribable, bizarre feeling left Chen Shenxiao at a loss for how to describe the Eternal Realm Star Beast.

Chen Shenxiao had also asked other members of his Family, and they all expressed having the same feeling as him—they could never remember what the Eternal Realm Star Beast looked like.

Only the Saints' Hall members could barely remember it.

They spent the longest time with the Eternal Realm Star Beast, slowly committing it to memory over time.

Perhaps this was an ability unique to the Eternal Realm.

“The timing isn't right today, so the two of you cannot enter the Star Suppressing Land for now.”

“However, once midnight passes tonight, you will be able to enter.”

“Midnight of each day is the time to enter the Star Suppressing Land.”

“Before then, you can familiarize yourselves with the Inner Hall's environment, the various martial arts facilities, and how many holy land contribution points each facility requires.”

“Saint Yuan, let's add each other as friends on our terminal devices. If you have any questions, you can ask me.”

Su Jingnian took out her terminal device and said to Su Yuan.

“Alright, Venerable Nian.”

Su Yuan quickly took out his terminal device and added Su Jingnian as a friend.

As for Chen Shenxiao, Su Jingnian already had his contact details on her terminal device, so there was no need to add him.

Su Yuan noticed this and thought to himself that Shenxiao must know Venerable Nian and be familiar with her.

“Over there is the residential area for the Inner Hall members.”

“The area on the left is for the Immortal Realm members, and the right is for the World Realm members.”

Putting away her terminal device, Su Jingnian took dozens of steps back, turned around, and pointed toward a certain direction on the right.

Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao came to Su Jingnian's side and looked in that direction.

“Understood, Venerable Nian.”

The two of them responded at the same time.

“There is a map of the Inner Hall in your Identity Tokens. You can familiarize yourselves with it when you have time.”

“If you have nothing else to do next, you can choose your residential palaces, or head to the Outer Hall to move your original residential palaces over.”

With that, Su Jingnian glanced at the two of them. “Do you need my help?”

Both Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao shook their heads.

Su Yuan said, “There's no need to trouble you, Venerable Nian. I can do it myself.”

Chen Shenxiao agreed, “Yes, moving our residential palaces is just a minor matter. We can handle it ourselves.”

“Alright.”

“Then I shall take my leave. You can arrange the rest of your time as you wish.”

“Remember, as soon as it hits 12:00 AM, you can head to the Star Suppressing Land.”

“You can enter by holding your Identity Tokens.”

“Each entry will cost fifty thousand holy land contribution points.”

Su Jingnian's figure had already vanished from the spot, but her voice still echoed in the ears of Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao.

Hearing the final sentence, Su Yuan couldn't help but open his mouth slightly in shock.

Tens of thousands of holy land contribution points?

Fifty thousand?

Previously, the reward for completing a three-star mission for the Wang Family was only twenty thousand.

He hadn't expected that entering the Star Suppressing Land just once would require so many holy land contribution points.
