Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

The elder carefully took out something wrapped in animal hide from his bosom.

"This is our tribe's top secret."

Legend has it that only when the 'guidance of the stars' appears can this fragment lead us to the other map pieces.

Luo Qingchen stared at the fragment, her breath catching in her throat.

The familiar patterns and aura on it caused the bronze star chart disc inside his body to begin to heat up slightly.

The stone house was brightly lit.

Luo Qingchen, Lin Wan'er, Su Xiaowan, and Elder Canaan sat around a stone table.

In the center of the table lay a palm-sized fragment, made of neither gold nor jade.

The fragment is an irregular triangle with obvious cracks on the edges, and is engraved with some complex and mysterious star trails.

This is the fragment of the lost astral map that Elder Canaan spoke of.

"This breath..."

Su Xiaowan stared at the fragment, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

"It looks just like your bronze plate, Brother Luo!"

Even without her saying it, Luo Qingchen sensed it.

Ever since the elder took out the fragment, the bronze star map on his chest has been burning hot, as if a hungry person had seen delicious food.

They are one!

"Elder, may I give it a try?"

Luo Qingchen looked at Elder Canaan with anticipation in her eyes.

Elder Canaan gave him a deep look and slowly nodded.

"The prophecy says that only the guidance of the stars can return it to its rightful owner. Perhaps you are that guidance."

Having received permission, Luo Qingchen no longer hesitated.

He took out his bronze star map from his bosom.

The moment the bronze plate appeared, the map fragments on the stone table trembled violently and emitted a buzzing sound.

A faint starlight rose from the fragment, seemingly trying to break free of its constraints and embrace the bronze disc.

Luo Qingchen reached out and picked up the fragment.

Then, carefully, bring it close to the bronze plate.

Click.

A soft sound.

The fragments and the gap in the bronze plate fit together perfectly.

They fit together perfectly, as if they had never been separated.

next second.

Brilliant starlight burst forth from the bronze disc.

The entire stone house was instantly enveloped by a vast sea of ​​stars.

Countless stars circulate around them, rising and falling.

A vast and ancient message flooded into Luo Qingchen's mind.

It was a much broader and more complete star map.

On this star map, he saw their current location, a star region marked "Abandoned Land".

The Canaan tribes are just an insignificant little dot in this abandoned land.

In another distant corner of the star map, he saw an area shrouded in thick black mist, marked with two large, blood-red characters—Shadow.

Between the "Abandoned Lands" and the "Shadows," there are several places marked by special lights.

One of the points of light, shimmering faintly, was marked with the words "Ancient Star Ruins".

found it!
A surge of joy welled up in Luo Qingchen's heart.

The hope of returning home is right before our eyes!

As the light faded, the bronze star chart disk returned to its calm state.

But its surface is no longer damaged.

The extra corner makes the entire bronze plate look more complete and more mysterious.

"Success..."

The elder Canaan was so moved by this scene that he trembled all over and tears streamed down his face.

"The wish of our ancestors has finally been fulfilled in my generation!"

He bowed deeply to Luo Qingchen once again.

"My Lord, please lead us to the ancient star ruins and obtain the power to fight against the shadows!"

Luo Qingchen helped the elder up, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

He came into this world only to find his way home.

Unexpectedly, through a series of unforeseen events, they found themselves shouldering the hopes of an entire race.

"Elder, rest assured, I promise you, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help the Canaanite clan."

Luo Qingchen solemnly promised.

This is not just for repaying kindness, but also for his own sake.

The threat of shadows is like a sword hanging overhead.

He could sense that those black-clad demonic cultivators were definitely connected to "Shadow".

Even if he finds his way home, he may not be able to leave safely if this problem isn't resolved.

In the following days, the status of Luo Qingchen and his two companions in the Canaanite tribe underwent a dramatic change.

No one dared to look at them with rejection and hostility anymore.

Instead, they were met with heartfelt respect and admiration.

Even Kyle, who had always disliked them, would lower his head and respectfully address them as "Divine Messenger" when he saw them.

Strength is always the best passport.

With the help of Elder Canaan, Luo Qingchen began to systematically learn about and understand this star realm.

He learned a lot about the world from the tribe's records.

For example, the cultivation system in this world has both similarities and significant differences with their original world.

The people here do not cultivate the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage, but instead condense a "Star Core" within their bodies by comprehending and absorbing the power of the stars.

The star cores are ranked from one star to nine stars, corresponding to the various realms from Qi Refining to Mahayana.

Elder Canaan, for example, is a powerful expert with a three-star core, equivalent to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Kyle, on the other hand, is at the peak of the first-star core stage, just one step away from condensing a second-star core and entering the Golden Core stage.

In addition, Luo Qingchen also learned that this world was extremely rich in resources.

Various ores and spiritual herbs containing the power of strange laws are everywhere.

These are all excellent materials for refining weapons and alchemy.

In order to improve his strength and repair the magical artifacts damaged in the previous battle, Luo Qingchen decided to collect some materials before heading to the "Ancient Star Ruins".

Elder Canaan naturally gave his full support to this.

He not only handed over the tribe's treasured illustrated guides on various rare and precious materials to Luo Qingchen.

They even specially dispatched the tribe's best guides and warriors, led by Kyle himself, to protect their safety.

"My Lord, please rest assured, with me here, I will absolutely not allow you or the two of you to suffer any harm."

Before setting off, Kyle patted his chest and solemnly promised.

Looking at his sincere face, Luo Qingchen wanted to laugh.

This guy changed pretty quickly.

"Good work."

Luo Qingchen nodded without saying anything more.

The group left the Canaanite settlement in a grand procession and headed towards the vast world beyond the mountains.

The place they were heading to was an area that the Canaanites called the "Crystal Meteor Mountains".

There, a type of ore called "Star Iron" is abundant, which is a top-grade material for refining magical artifacts.

At the same time, a kind of "calming flower" that can stabilize the soul also grows there.

This was of paramount importance to Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan, who had just experienced a storm of laws and whose souls were damaged.

Of course, with opportunity comes danger.

The Crystal Meteor Mountains are home to a variety of powerful star beasts.

According to Kyle, even a three-star powerhouse like the elder wouldn't dare to venture too deep.

Along the way, Kyle dutifully introduced the surrounding environment and things to be aware of.

"My Lord, look, those red mushrooms are called 'Exploding Mushrooms.' Don't touch them, they'll explode with a force comparable to a one-star core cultivator's self-destruction." "And that river, there's something called a 'Bone-Eating Fish' in it. Its teeth are harder than star iron. Even a two-star core expert who falls in will be gnawed to the bone."

Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan listened in stunned silence, gaining a deeper understanding of the dangers of this world.

Luo Qingchen remained calm.

His divine sense had been covering an area of ​​dozens of miles.

He can sense even the slightest movement.

After entering the Crystal Meteorite Mountains, the surrounding scenery began to become peculiar.

The earth was a deep purple, and the rocks, like black crystals, shimmered with an eerie light under the illumination of three different colored moons.

The concentration of stellar energy in the air was several times higher than in the Canaanite tribe.

"We've arrived. That area shimmering with blue light ahead is the Star Iron ore vein."

Kyle pointed to a mountain wall not far away and said.

On that mountainside, large expanses of blue metallic ore were exposed, gleaming beautifully in the moonlight.

"Everyone be careful. The area around the Star Iron Ore Vein is usually guarded by 'Crystal Armor Beasts'."

Kyle reminded him.

"It's a star beast whose entire body is covered in crystalline armor. It has extremely strong defense and likes to live in groups."

He just finished speaking.

"Roar!"

An angry roar came from the mountainside.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so star beasts, the size of rhinoceroses, covered in blue crystals, and with a single sharp horn on their heads, rushed out of the mine.

Each one exuded an aura that reached the level of a star core.

The leader of them had even reached the early stage of the second star core.

"Ready to fight!"

Kyle roared and raised his spear.

The Canaanite warriors behind him also assumed their fighting stances.

A war is about to break out.

However, Luo Qingchen waved his hand.

"Don't be nervous, leave it to us."

he said calmly.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan beside him.

The two understood each other.

This is a minor matter; Brother Luo doesn't need to personally intervene.

"A cage of vines!"

Lin Wan'er let out a delicate shout, and countless vines rose from the ground, instantly weaving into a huge cage that trapped all of the dozen or so crystal-armored beasts inside.

"Array up!"

Su Xiaowan formed a hand seal, and a huge array pattern lit up below the cage.

The violent lightning condensed within the formation, transforming into streaks of lightning that lashed out at the crystal-armored beasts.

"Crack!"

Lightning flashed and screams echoed.

The crystal armor that those crystal-armored beasts were so proud of was constantly cracking under the attack of lightning.

Kyle and his people were stunned.

That... solves it?

In the past, every time they tried to collect a little bit of Star Iron, they had to pay a bloody price.
These two seemingly delicate female divine messengers are actually so powerful?

Luo Qingchen ignored their shock.

His gaze remained fixed on another grove of trees not far away.

From the moment he arrived, he sensed a subtle killing intent emanating from that place.

That aura was very faint, and it was also very good at concealing itself.

If it weren't for his chaotic power, which makes him extremely sensitive to all energies, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.

"Come out, aren't you tired after watching for so long?"

Luo Qingchen spoke calmly to the empty grove of trees.

Kyle and the others were all taken aback.

Is anyone there?

How come they don't feel anything at all?

The woods were silent; there was no response.

"Not coming out?"

Luo Qingchen's lips curled up slightly.

"Then, I'll ask you to come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared above the grove of trees and stomped his foot down hard.

boom!
The earth shook violently, and smoke and dust billowed everywhere.

A huge footprint appeared on the ground.

At the edge of the footprints, a black shadow tumbled out in a disheveled state.

The shadow bounced a few times on the ground before regaining its balance.

When it raised its head, everyone gasped.

That's not human at all!
It was a monster that was completely black, shaped like a cheetah, but had no facial features, only a gaping maw full of sharp teeth!

The strangest thing is that its body is constantly twisting and changing.

Sometimes it blends into the shadows, sometimes it turns into rocks, and sometimes it becomes the shape of a tree.

camouflage!

This is a star beast that can perfectly disguise itself as its surroundings!

If it weren't for Luo Qingchen, they wouldn't even have known that they had been lurking by such a deadly assassin all along!
A cold sweat broke out on Kyle's back.

He recalled the records in the tribal annals.

Shadowcat, an extremely rare and dangerous star beast.

They are natural assassins, skilled in disguise and ambush, and their strength is generally above the second-level star core.

Many three-star core powerhouses have died under their claws.

"Roar!"

The Shadow Cat, forced to reveal its true form by Luo Qingchen, let out an angry roar.

Its body instantly transformed into a black lightning bolt, lunging towards Su Xiaowan, who was closest to it.

It realized that this woman was the weakest among the group.

Choose the softest persimmons!

"Xiao Wan, watch out!"

Lin Wan'er cried out in alarm, wanting to help, but it was too late.

Shadowcat's speed is incredible!

However, Su Xiaowan showed no panic in the face of this deadly attack.

She simply stood there quietly, a hint of a triumphant smile even appearing on her lips.

Just as the Shadowcat's claws were about to touch her neck.

Golden array patterns suddenly lit up from beneath her feet, instantly enveloping her and Shadow Cat.

"Sorry, you've fallen into my trap."

Su Xiaowan's voice rang out within the formation.

"Welcome to... the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation!"

Shadow Cat's body suddenly stiffened.

It found that the space around it seemed to have frozen.

Powerful forces of confinement emanated from all directions, rendering it unable to move.

It was horrified to discover that the power of the stars within its body was rapidly dissipating!
What the hell is this?!
Just then, Luo Qingchen's figure appeared in front of Shadow Cat as if by teleportation.

In his hand, a gray longsword formed from the power of chaos had appeared without his noticing. (End of Chapter)
