155: Final Star Search

The character for ‘Soldier’ formed.

Above, the Heavenly Book rapidly flipped its pages, and energy converged within the domain.

A long spear materialized in mid-air and fell into Shi Luoshu’s hand.

He held the spear with one hand, his figure darting out, using his finger as a brush to continue writing.

‘Wood.’

‘Fire.’

Two characters formed in quick succession.

As Shi Luoshu’s figure charged out, the Heavenly Book flipped its pages, and within this domain, illusory vines rose from the ground, intertwining and weaving towards Qin Chi, binding him.

Behind the vines, the power transformed into a fiery red, following closely, swirling with flames, attacking simultaneously.

Everything happened in an instant.

“Another evolutionary path.”

“Such a peculiar method.”

As these thoughts arose in his mind, Qin Chi moved.

As fellow Inheriting the seeds of Martial Abyss, since Mentor Meng Ning had revealed his secret, Qin Chi naturally wouldn’t hold back.

At this moment, with his Secret Treasure activated and power surging, Qin Chi displayed the full form of his Secret Treasure for the first time.

In this instant, behind him, a landscape of mountain and river appeared, a divine tree rising.

With the surge of power, the mountain and river expanded, and in a flash, the blessing of the Secret Treasure became a tangible phenomenon, truly manifesting in the current world.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the pressure around Qin Chi lightened, deafening roars sounded, and the Heavenly Book above vibrated violently.

That was the collision of domains, clashing with each other.

Secret Treasure against Secret Treasure, the entire Heavenly Book domain, starting from Qin Chi, saw the mountain and river landscape spread and expand.

It was at this moment that the illusory vines coiled around him.

Qin Chi took a step forward, his Spiritual Void Fire God opened its eyes, and flames surged around him, incinerating everything.

The moment the vines made contact, they were burned to ashes, and the power that transformed them was also annihilated.

Following closely were the flames sweeping through the domain.

But as those flames attacked, striking Qin Chi, they were instead devoured by Qin Chi’s own surging flames, becoming even brighter.

Blazing flames covered his front.

It was at this moment.

Shi Luoshu, holding his long spear, broke through the flames from the front, thrusting his spear downwards.

As Qin Chi raised his arm, fire, like a dragon, formed a great halberd in his hand.

He raised the halberd horizontally, blocking the spear strike.

Boom!

The two clashed, a roaring sound echoing.

Qin Chi’s figure remained still, while Shi Luoshu’s figure sharply retreated, landing on the ground.

“This feeling—”

“Grandmaster Realm?”

Shi Luoshu’s voice sounded, then he immediately denied it: “A genius like you, if you truly reached the Grandmaster Realm, you would be even more extraordinary.”

“You are one of the few whose fundamental power has already acquired Grandmaster-level might after transformation.”

His gaze grew more serious.

As the two clashed, the confrontation between their domains continued.

The divine tree stood behind Qin Chi, and the mountain and river landscape surrounding it, continuously expanding, gradually encroached upon the area within the Heavenly Book domain, already occupying half the area and still growing.

At this moment, Qin Chi was wreathed in fire, like a Fire God, standing atop the mountain and river.

Shi Luoshu looked at him: “At your age, you can simultaneously control both lightning and fire elements to such an extraordinary degree.”

“Terrifying.”

Uttering the word “terrifying,” he extended his left hand, which was not holding the spear, and clenched it in the void.

At this moment, the Heavenly Book suspended high above transformed into a stream of light, falling from the sky.

After landing beside Shi Luoshu, the Heavenly Book transformed into armor, and a white battle armor appeared on his body.

His aura surged, and the entire domain became even more solidified.

Pointing his long spear forward, Shi Luoshu’s voice held a hint of anticipation: “In the Civilization Remains, the first news we received was that you and the Heavenly Policy students together defeated that Divine Child.”

“But not long ago, I fought Dragon Cloud Safety, and in his domain, I heard him speak of you.”

“According to him, Heavenly Policy indeed contributed, but you were the true main force, and you delivered the final blow, completely annihilating the Divine Child.”

“Qin Chi.”

“Do I have a chance to witness the move you used to annihilate the Divine Child?”

On the other side.

Under the activation of the Fire God Technique, Qin Chi’s eyebrows also had a faint fiery hue.

The internal conflict of Martial Abyss had a less tense atmosphere.

Hearing Shi Luoshu’s words, Qin Chi raised an eyebrow slightly: “Mentor Meng Ning, are you sure?”

“Of course.”

Shi Luoshu nodded solemnly.

“I am based on martial arts, exploring other paths, and what I need most is vision.

Let me see what you can achieve, perhaps it can also inspire me.”

“In that case—”

Qin Chi’s eyes lowered slightly.

At this moment, the Spiritual Void Cave Heaven trembled, and under Shi Luoshu’s increasingly solemn gaze, Qin Chi’s aura climbed higher and higher.

The next instant—

The attack launched!

As the final battle progressed, all Po Xian Cup contestants had already returned to the planet to watch the battle through the giant screen.

However, in the giant screen’s footage, after the battle began, the arena was empty, and both their figures were obscured.

“What are we supposed to watch?”

“It must be Shi Luoshu’s method, some kind of domain ability.

I’ve seen it before.”

“The finals have started, but we can’t see anyone on the arena.”

Amidst the noisy chatter, at this moment, a closely observing contestant noticed an anomaly and exclaimed: “Wait.”

Only to see, within the giant screen, above the empty arena, intense ripples suddenly surged!

The ripples spread, expanding in an instant.

After about one breath, a figure suddenly leaped onto the arena, seemingly charging out, full of vigor.

That was a—

Kirin constructed from the power of lightning and fire!

The Kirin appeared on the arena, and as it appeared, like a shattered mirror, all obscuration vanished, and everything inside came into view.

One person stood, one person lay.

On the giant screen, the camera zoomed in on the standing figure, who was surrounded by lightning and fire, which was gradually diminishing at this moment.

As he made a grasping motion, the lifelike Kirin figure on the arena also dispersed.

Qin Chi.

And the one lying on the arena was Shi Luoshu.

His aura was weak, and his body was covered in wounds, but he retained his last shred of consciousness, now gasping for breath.

“What happened inside?”

“It looks like Qin Chi is the dominant one?”

“Hiss, is there a replay of the inside of the domain?”

“Good, good, good, I like not being seen by us, Qin Chi did great.”

“That Kirin, so lifelike, to what extent must one control power to achieve that?”

A clamor erupted.

On the Dengxing Arena.

The lightning and fire around Qin Chi dissipated.

In front, Shi Luoshu struggled to sit up, his Heavenly Book Armor already gone.

He looked at Qin Chi, showing no sadness, only speaking quickly: “I lost.”

“Qin Chi, thank you for showing mercy.”

When the lightning-fire Kirin formed and attacked with astonishing power, he knew he had lost.

Within the lightning-fire Kirin, a portion of its power had not yet erupted, otherwise his injuries would not have been so minor.

With the domain no longer obscuring them, Shi Luoshu said nothing more, only raised his head to look outside the arena and loudly declared: “I surrender.”

As the words fell.

A teleportation halo rose beside him.

Chasing Stars did not verbally confirm.

Because, in Chasing Stars’s judgment, the outcome of this battle had already been decided.

Although Shi Luoshu had not lost consciousness, his own consumption had reached its limit after resisting the lightning-fire Kirin.

On the Dengxing Arena, only Qin Chi remained.

Above the Dengxing Arena, a brilliant light projected downwards, enveloping Qin Chi’s body.

Under the shroud of light, the situation inside was obscured.

Qin Chi looked up.

From high above the Dengxing Arena, a palm-sized, meteor-shaped artifact slowly descended from top to bottom, landing in front of him.

“The reward for the final battle is actually a physical object.”

A thought flashed through his mind, and Qin Chi opened his palm.

Around this special artifact, soft light enveloped it, seemingly blocking its interior.

After it landed in Qin Chi’s palm, information was transmitted through the Dengxing Arena, surging into his mind.

Qin Chi browsed the information, his gaze slightly condensed.

This seemingly ordinary artifact had a rather resounding name.

[Seed of Finality]

The reward was in hand.

Light flashed on the arena, and Chasing Stars’s figure appeared in front of him.

He looked at Qin Chi, his serious expression unwavering, and congratulated him: “Contestant Qin Chi, congratulations on becoming the ultimate victor of this individual competition.”

“I look forward to your next appearance on the Dengxing Arena.”

Two sentences sounded.

As the words fell, light rose around Qin Chi, enveloping his body.

Under the protection of this light, just like when he first came to the Dengxing Arena, his speed was extremely fast, leaving the Dengxing Arena and rapidly soaring towards the planet below.

Qin Chi was already accustomed to this transfer, his gaze remaining on the Dengxing Arena.

Just as he was about to enter the planet, within his sight, the Dengxing Arena, this colossal transcendent construct, subtly vibrated, then suddenly vanished from its original spot, departing in an instant.

“So—”

“The progress of this individual competition was so fast precisely because of the Dengxing Arena?”

“It seems like it had an urgent matter to attend to.”

Thoughts flickered in his mind, and Qin Chi, enveloped in light, returned to the planet.

On the planet’s surface, a podium had already been set up for the awards ceremony.

Undoubtedly, the biggest winner of this Po Xian Cup was Martial Abyss.

Winning the team competition and sweeping the top two spots in the individual competition, it was a huge harvest.

Including the prize money from the team and individual competitions, Qin Chi took home 37 million Star Yuan.

After returning to the academy, there would also be rewards from the academy.

However, after joining Martial Abyss and becoming a Martial Abyss Inheritance Seeds, money held less significance for him.

Now, it was merely cold numbers in his account, only to be consumed when he eventually planned to introduce technology into the Great Wilderness.

Awards, photos, after a busy period, the Martial Abyss students, with smiles on their faces, returned to the lounge area.

Mentor Meng Ning leaned against the entrance of the lounge area, smiling as he watched everyone.

Martial Abyss had developed to this point, and most of the Heavenly Human mentors teaching at the academy were from Martial Abyss.

Seeing the academy achieve such honors, they were naturally happy.

Beside him, the exit of his spatial equipment appeared.

Seeing everyone approach, he kindly said: “First, retrieve the items you stored.”

“Pack up, and we’ll return to the academy.”

The students complied, lining up to retrieve their belongings.

Qin Chi walked last, retrieving his stored azure lightning dark halberd and Heavens Might.

Just as he was about to enter the lounge area, Mentor Meng Ning’s voice sounded beside him: “Qin Chi, how does it feel to win the championship in one fell swoop?”

Hearing this, a flicker of thought crossed Qin Chi’s eyes.

He pondered for a moment, then said: “Mentor Meng, from now on, unless the academy needs me, I probably won’t participate in these academy-level competitions anymore.”

Mentor Meng Ning raised an eyebrow slightly.

He didn’t need Qin Chi to explain, already understanding the reason, and nodded: “Reasonable.”

“Being able to overpower Shi Luoshu and win the championship, these academy cup competitions no longer hold much tempering value for you.”

“After this competition, I imagine the academy will also change its cultivation plan for you.”

At this point, he gave Qin Chi a deep look: “I have to say, your performance this time exceeded many people’s expectations, surprising quite a few.”

At this point, he sighed slightly: “What a pity.”

Qin Chi offered a polite smile.

“Go pack up, then board the ship.”

Patting Qin Chi’s shoulder, Mentor Meng Ning stepped towards the parking area on the side.

The students, having changed into casual clothes, looked relaxed, chatting with each other as they boarded the ship.

After Qin Chi retrieved his communication device, countless messages popped up, and he replied to them one by one.

The Wen Wu Hao ascended.

At the same time, on the surface, starships soared into the sky, beginning their return journey.

Qin Chi leaned against the porthole, thoughts flashing through his mind.

“As a Inheriting the seeds, helping the academy achieve honor now is probably the only way I can repay the academy at the moment.”

“Not long after returning to the academy, it will be the holidays.”

“The time ahead will be much freer.”

Thoughts flickered as the starship ascended.

Just then, looking at the ground through the porthole, Qin Chi’s gaze narrowed slightly.

As far as his eyes could see, the ground was empty and clear.

However, in Qin Chi’s memory, when they arrived there, that direction, that location, was a mist, which was precisely where the Civilization Remains was located.

“That Civilization Remains, was it directly cleared?”

“But I didn’t hear any movement.”

He was extremely confident in his memory: “To silently remove such a large area, what kind of power would that require, and the organizers wouldn’t need to act like that.”

“So—”

All sorts of conjectures arose in his mind: “The surface doesn’t seem to have any signs of damage either, so it wasn’t cleared, but moved?”

“Will I have a chance to see that Civilization Remains again in the future?”

While he pondered, the starship entered the star sea.

After entering the star sea, the disappearance of the Dengxing Arena attracted the attention of other students.

This year’s individual competition was already somewhat special, and various discussions and speculations arose.

Qin Chi listened for a while, then chose to go to the starship’s cultivation room.

After a warp jump, passing through the stargate, he returned to the Martial Arts Department of the academy.

A celebration banquet was held in the Martial Arts Department, and after much revelry, it dispersed.

Taking a vehicle back to the dormitory area, verifying his identity, and returning to his own residence, this temporary “home,” Qin Chi let out a long breath.

The Po Xian Cup didn’t last long, but he had been fully immersed in it.

Now that everything was over and he had returned to the academy, a sense of relief couldn’t help but rise in his heart.

Entering his room and tidying up his equipment, Qin Chi summoned his professional panel, his gaze focused on the portal below.

He did not intend to expose the existence of the Great Wilderness before he had enough strength to support it.

Because of this, he did not go to the Great Wilderness during the Po Xian Cup.

Now, back at the academy, his gaze lingered, and he had no hesitation.

Great Wilderness —

Activate!

Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Qin Chi’s figure appeared.

The moment he appeared, golden clouds surged towards him in mid-air.

That was the power of wishes generated by his tribesmen during this period.

His Divine Intent left his body and soared into the sky, overlooking the entire Si Huo Tribe.

From the initial handful of people to the current population of over ten thousand, the Si Huo Tribe was now quite large.

Overlooking it from above, the residential construction of the entire Si Huo Tribe was planned and neatly arranged, satisfying anyone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Recently, due to preparations for the ceremony, a group of tribesmen had been drawn from those working on tribal construction to assist with the preparations, and they were currently busy with construction in the distance.

As Qin Chi overlooked.

At the main entrance of the tribe, dust swirled in the distance, and a group of figures returned from outside the tribe.

Leading them was Bai Su, and behind her, groups of beasts, ridden by the young and strong of the Si Huo Tribe, were escorting many controlled fierce beasts, seemingly just returned from a hunt.

“Bai Su, this Deer General, is doing quite well, and it suits her.”

A thought flashed through Qin Divine Intent's mind, and he turned to look at the tribe, finally focusing on a certain area.

That was precisely the training ground for the Si Huo Tribe members.

At a glance, the young and strong were arrayed, and there were also some younger children who were diligently practicing their martial arts.

However—

This time, leading at the very front was neither Ding Yang nor any of the tribe's Treasure Technique masters, but a small figure.

Shi Cang!

He was very serious, his punches and kicks carried quite a stance, and after leading the practice himself, he even proactively stopped to carefully observe the tribe members learning behind him, pointing out any differences or problems directly, like a little adult.

“This little fellow.”

“What happened during the time I wasn't in the tribe?”

As the thought flashed, Qin's perception extended, and after approaching Shi Cang, it paused slightly.

“This aura—”

Inside the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, Qin Jin's true body raised an eyebrow, and his Divine Intent retracted.

The azure lightning dark halberd appeared, he boarded the mecha, transforming into the [Sacrificial Spirit Form], and as a thought stirred in his mind, a voice echoed in Shi Cang’s heart.

“Shi Cang.”

“Come see me.”

Outside.

Shi Cang was bouncing around, helping others correct their postures, his movements quite adorable, and the moment he heard the voice, his eyes lit up.

“Lord Sacrificial Spirit has come out of seclusion!”

He shouted, “Uncles and elders, you all continue practicing, I'm going to see Lord Sacrificial Spirit.”

After leaving a remark, he turned around and ran wildly, kicking up a cloud of dust, his figure agile.

Running wildly from the training ground, tribe members occasionally recognized the little fellow along the way, and calls rang out, but he only nodded in acknowledgment.

As he neared the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, Shi Cang slowed his pace, the wish power restriction was lifted for him, and he successfully entered the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, his eyes growing even brighter, he walked a few steps inside, and his young body bowed to the azure lightning dark halberd.

“Lord Sacrificial Spirit.”

The azure lightning dark halberd lowered its head, and Qin's gaze fell upon this little fellow.

He spoke calmly, “Come out.”

Upon that command.

Shi Cang was momentarily puzzled, somewhat unsure what was happening.

But then, he showed a look of sudden understanding, a flash of light beside him, and a broken stele appeared.

The wudao stele.

Just now, when carefully perceiving, Qin had indeed detected the aura of the wudao stele.

He had once forged his first Heaven-Cave with the heaven and earth divine peculiarity gifted by it, and was extremely familiar with the wudao stele's aura.

This accompanying treasure of Shi Cang had awakened again.

Thus, he was no longer confused by the previous scene; although the wudao stele was broken and had lost many memories, its own level was not low, so Shi Cang must have learned something from it and taught it to the tribe members, becoming a little teacher.

The wudao stele appeared.

Meeting the gaze cast by Qin Jin, the only remaining 'wu' character on the wudao stele flickered, and its voice rang out, “Sacrificial Spirit, we meet again.”

Qin Jin's voice was calm, “You awakened early?”

Beside them, hearing their conversation, Shi Cang waited obediently.

“For reasons I'm not clear about, my stele body was repaired a little, and I awakened early.”

The wudao stele's voice rang out, carrying a hint of confusion, “I was in slumber, unaware of what happened outside, and by the time I awoke, the repair was complete.”

It stated the time it was repaired, the 'wu' character flickering, “Little friend, do you know what happened then?”

Inside the azure lightning dark halberd, Qin's eyebrow raised slightly.

After the other party stated the time, he already had a correlation in his mind.

The time the wudao stele spoke of was precisely when he formed the wudao Heaven-Cave and broke through to the Heaven-Cave Realm.

“I broke through to the Heaven-Cave Realm, and because I used the divine peculiarity it gifted as a foundation, it also brought it a reward?”

“No—”

“Given the origin of this wudao stele, the Heaven-Cave Realm cannot achieve this.”

“Then—”

His eyes flickered, and a guess suddenly arose in Qin's mind.

“It's the Naming of Heaven and Earth!”

“After the Heaven-Cave formed, starlight once fell from the sky to name the Heaven-Cave.”

“The wudao stele was originally conceived by heaven and earth, perhaps at that time, a connection was established between them, and the starlight falling from heaven also discovered it, allowing this broken stele to be repaired a little and awaken from slumber.”

“If that's the case—”

“In the future, as Shi Cang continues to advance on this path, this treasure will continue to be repaired, which is a good thing.”

Thoughts flashed by, and Qin Jin's voice was steady as he said, “When I was cultivating, I once drew upon the power of heaven and earth.”

“You should have been noticed by heaven and earth and received repairs at that time.”

“So that’s how it is.”

The 'wu' character on the wudao stele flickered, and after receiving the answer, it verified it internally and quieted down.

Beside them.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Shi Cang quickly said, “Lord Sacrificial Spirit.”

Qin Chi looked at him.

He had a joyful expression on his face: “I have successfully unlocked the first realm of the Fire God Scroll.”

He pointed to the wudao stele beside him: “Lord Sacrificial Spirit, I plan to leave the tribe with it after the ceremony to find a suitable Dao Foundation divine item for myself and break through to the Dao Foundation Realm.”

“Leaving the tribe.”

Inside the azure lightning dark halberd, ripples appeared in Qin Jin's eyes.

The Si Huo Tribe's exploration team had been working hard, and now there were quite a few treasures in the tribe that could serve as Dao Foundation items.

He hadn't expected this little fellow to have such an idea.

However, truly top-tier divine items are hard to find, and those suitable for oneself are even harder to come by.

After a moment of contemplation, the fluctuation in Qin's eyes faded.

To be able to attract such an extraordinary accompanying treasure upon birth, if there was a concept of good fortune in the Great Wilderness, then Shi Cang's fortune would definitely not be low.

True prodigies will always forge their own paths sooner or later, and with the wudao stele accompanying him, safety is not an issue, so this might be a good choice.

“Such a genius might be able to carve out his own landscape in the Great Wilderness.”

A thought flashed through his mind, and Qin Chi calmly said, “You may.”

As the words fell.

The azure lightning dark halberd raised its hand.

Under its own control, wish power surged into the mecha's palm, continuously gathering and condensing.

After meeting the Sacrificial Spirit of the Tu Yang Tribe, his control over wish power had improved to another level, mastering more methods.

As the wish power gathered and compressed, it finally formed a peculiar shape.

It was a [ruyi knot].

This was a creation from his awakened memories, now compressed and woven from wish power; once formed, the azure lightning dark halberd's palm lowered, and the ruyi knot, under Shi Cang's curious gaze, floated towards him, imprinted itself on his chest, and disappeared.

Sacrificial Spirit's blessing.

Although he was still young, seeing the little fellow of the tribe preparing to leave, he felt a bit worried, so he provided some protection for him.

At the same time, a calm voice rang out.

“Shi Cang, the outside world is not like the tribe; with the wudao stele accompanying you, you will be safe, but you must remember that harming others is not just about harming the body.

Shi Cang nodded, half-understanding.

Seeing this.

The azure lightning dark halberd waved its hand: “Go.”

“When the ceremony ends, go and truly see the splendid world outside.”

“Alright.”

Shi Cang responded, and the wudao stele beside him transformed into a stream of light and was put away; he bowed again and quickly ran out of the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Qin Chi watched this scene.

Young life is always full of vigor.

He slightly raised his head, as if looking through the dome to the sky.

“In the current Great Wilderness, under normal circumstances, all risks are predictable.”

“However, once the divine cauldron fragments in the sky dissipate and the ancient arrangements completely disappear, connecting with the outside [Divine Kingdom], everything will become unknown.”

“I still need to work hard to improve myself.”

“I cannot just wait idly in the Great Wilderness.”

The gate at the edge of the sky flashed through his mind: “Once both the Martial Arts and Heavenly Azure Method have made certain achievements, and I have the strength to support it, I can also take the initiative to explore the situation first.”

A thought flashed.

He stirred a thought, flipped his palm, and a meteorite-shaped creation appeared in his hand.

This was the only physical reward he received in the Dengxing Arena, named [Seed of Demise].

Upon acquiring it, the Dengxing Arena had already provided more detailed information, giving Qin a better understanding.

To be precise, the origin of this creation, in some sense, had a slight connection with Qin Chi.

Because it came from a planet that failed to conceive a Star God, and it was one of the creations produced after that planet failed and was destroyed.

Chu Tianyi, when describing matters related to Gaia Planet to Qin Jin, once said that within the Federation, there had been tragic incidents involving life planets that had conceived Star Gods and had the chance to advance to the Gaia level; it was precisely because of this that the Star God Chosen appeared, reducing the intensity of disputes over Gaia Planet within the Federation to the lowest level.

And this, perhaps, was a remnant of one such tragedy.

Its effect was simple yet extraordinary; it was a [visualization object] that could be carried with one.

How extraordinary are planets that contain Star Gods, Qin Jin had long understood through his hometown and Zhi Xia Star, and this [Seed of Demise], because the planet was destroyed, all the power contained within it was dormant, it was a [dead object] like the Eight Extremes Star, and could be visualized at will.

His gaze lingered on it, and Qin thought of more.

“The origin of this visualization object is extraordinary, and it can also be chosen as a Heaven-Cave divine item.”

“If successful, won't I be able to directly visualize my own Heaven-Cave in the future?”

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

The combination of Heavenly Azure Method and Martial Arts had brought him great improvement, and he didn't mind proactively making some attempts.

The Seed of Demise was put away.

“First, digest the transcendent factors obtained from the Dengxing Arena, then use it for visualization.”

“I can also continue cultivating the next scripture obtained from Senior Ji Lianxing to accumulate myself.”

“Within limited realms, strive for maximum growth, and only then can one forge an extraordinary path for the strong.”

Thinking of this, Qin's mind sank into the tiancang jade pendant.

His gaze flowed over the various cultivation methods, finally settling on a true scripture.

[Nine Secrets of Star Seeking]

This was a cultivation method related to the stars in the sky.

However, compared to other methods, this method could not be cultivated in the Great Wilderness at present!

The sky of the Great Wilderness was a remnant of the mountain and river Divine Cauldron, obscuring everything.

The great sun in the sky was a Golden Crow, and it was separated by the Divine Cauldron; as for the so-called true stars, Qin Jin had never seen them since arriving in the Great Wilderness.

“Stars in the Great Wilderness are unseen, so, what about the planets within the Federation?”

Light flickered in Qin's eyes.

He had briefly browsed this method; its foundation was for cultivators to attract the attention of stars and establish a connection with the stars in the sky, thereby laying the foundation for this method.

According to its information, during the Immortal Dynasty era, this method also required the assistance of special star-attracting towers, making it uncultivable by ordinary people.

Now, he couldn't do those things, unable to recreate the grand scene of the Immortal Dynasty era.

But in the star sea, there was a planet whose relationship with him was incredibly close, probably surpassing the connection between any star and cultivator.

“There really are a lot of things to do.”

“Cultivation, improvement.”

“First step, accumulate myself to reach the conditions for the next breakthrough.”

As his thoughts turned, Qin Jin gathered his mind, and as his spiritual void slightly trembled, external spiritual energy surged in rapidly.

As the semester neared its end, the academy quieted down.

Besides cultivation, Qin also didn't neglect his academy courses.

In the foreseeable future, until his strength reached a certain level, the star sea would be his primary world, so relevant courses could not be neglected.

He was like a sponge, absorbing everything.

Today.

Inside the academy's cultivation room, Qin, in visualization, suddenly opened his eyes.

He began to vaguely perceive his [limit].

This meant that if he wanted to, he could complete the last bit at any time and begin his third transformation.

Stopping his cultivation, Qin didn't rush into the transformation, thoughts flashing in his mind.

“Previously, the progress of Heavenly Azure Method cultivation led to self-improvement, initiating transformation and further advancement.”

“Then—”

“If both Martial Arts and Heavenly Azure Method break through at the same time, will there be a different effect?”

Leaving the cultivation room, on his way back to his residence, his personal terminal vibrated slightly.

Qin raised his hand to check; the message was from Candle Kite.

This artificial intelligence of the academy requested to meet him.

Under non-essential circumstances, Candle Kite would not disturb students.

Qin chose to agree.

Upon agreeing, a flash of light appeared before him, and Candle Kite, specifically responsible for communicating with Qin Chi, appeared; after her small figure condensed, she, who was usually active when facing Qin Jin, showed a hint of seriousness, her eyes earnest.

She waved her hand, and a barrier formed around them, blocking the outside.

Seeing this, Qin's expression became a bit more serious; he had never seen Candle Kite act like this in the academy, so it must be something important.

“Candle Kite, what's wrong?”

“Qin Jin.”

Candle Kite's voice rang out: “In five days, a specialist will come to the academy to take you away.”

“Your first academic year will end early, and you will enter vacation.”

Qin Chi's gaze became stern.

He didn't hesitate, speaking, “Who is coming to pick me up? Where are they taking me?”

“I don't know either.”

Candle Kite shook her head, her voice becoming more serious: “I received a message from the highest level of the Federation.”

“When I tried to get more information, I only got two words.”

“Top secret.”
