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

"I'm ready."

He said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Elder Canaan nodded.

He walked to the edge of the pool and sat down cross-legged.

Then, he bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of his life essence into the pool.

hum!
The entire pool instantly boiled.

The star mark also burst forth with dazzling light.

"Please step onto the altar!"

The elder's voice echoed in Luo Qingchen's mind.

Luo Qingchen no longer hesitated.

Holding Bai Ling'er in his arms, he took a step forward, his figure as swift as lightning, and landed steadily on the altar in the center of the pool.

The moment he stepped onto the altar.

As if drawn by some force, the star mark suddenly pressed itself toward him.

It went straight into his brow!

boom!
It was as if billions of stars in Luo Qingchen's brain exploded at the same time!

A vast and boundless torrent of information, indescribable in words, mixed with terrifying power capable of destroying the world, surged wildly into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"what!"

Even so, Luo Qingchen's will was as firm as steel.

At that moment, he couldn't help but let out a painful roar.

His body was covered in bulging veins, his blood vessels looked like they were about to burst.

His mind was in turmoil, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

That force was immense!
It was so enormous that it could burst any Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
He felt that his body and soul were being torn apart, broken down, and then reassembled bit by bit.

That pain was ten times, a hundred times more intense than when he refined the fragments of the Heavenly Dao!
"Hold fast to your true self! Refine it!"

Elder Canaan's voice, like a morning bell and evening drum, resounded in Luo Qingchen's mind.

Luo Qingchen gritted her teeth and desperately tried to circulate her chaotic power, attempting to refine that violent force.

However, the results were little.

The power of chaos, though powerful.

But faced with this primordial power that seemed to come from the entire starry sky, they also seemed somewhat powerless.

His consciousness began to blur.

He felt as if he was about to be completely burst apart by that force.

Right here, at the most critical moment.

A sudden change occurs!
The nightingale slept soundly in his arms.

The golden dragon-shaped mark between his eyebrows suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling golden light!
An overwhelming, supreme, and incomparably noble aura of a true dragon swept out from her small body.

That oppressive aura, like the power of the star mark, originated from the same source, but it was far more ancient, far pure, and far... noble!
It was as if a king was facing his subjects!

The stellar power that was raging within Luo Qingchen's body suddenly became docile after sensing the pressure of this true dragon.

It's like a naughty child meeting his strict father.

at the same time.

The bronze star map disc on Luo Qingchen's chest also began to tremble violently.

It flew out automatically and hovered above Luo Qingchen's head.

On the chart, the complete star map was fully illuminated.

It forms a wonderful triangular resonance with the dragon-shaped mark between Bai Ling'er's eyebrows and the star mark between Luo Qingchen's eyebrows!
hum!
Ancient and mysterious golden runes flew out from Bai Ling'er's dragon-shaped mark.

One after another, purple-gold star runes flew out from the bronze star map disc.

The two runes converged and merged in the air.

Ultimately, it transformed into a power that Luo Qingchen had never seen before—a power that was even more profound and powerful.

This power surged into Luo Qingchen's body.

They began to help him sort out and refine that immense, world-destroying power of the stellar origin.

Luo Qingchen's pressure suddenly eased.

His consciousness also returned to normal.

He could clearly feel that his body was undergoing tremendous changes.

His meridians are expanding.

His bones are being remodeled.

His soul is being elevated.

And in his sea of ​​consciousness, a new ancient memory, not his own, sealed away for countless years, appeared...

That was a sacred covenant signed between the ancient dragon and the Star Clan.

That was a crucial piece of information about a magnificent ruin, forgotten in the long river of time.

A shocking secret, powerful enough to overturn the entire history of the astral plane!

It was a vast and boundless starry sky.

Countless enormous stars are slowly rotating.

Giant dragons, as large as mountains and composed entirely of starlight, roam the sea of ​​stars.

They are the Star Dragon Clan from ancient times.

It is innate, the master of the starry sky.

On the other side of the starry sky.

It was a darkness so deep it was almost impenetrable.

In that darkness, it seemed as if countless greedy and evil eyes were hidden.

These are the "shadows".

It is the plunderer of the universe, the terminator of all things.

Finally one day.

War broke out.

Darkness launched a full-scale invasion of the light.

Countless stars were swallowed by darkness and lost their light.

Countless Star Dragons perished in the battle, turning into cold dust.

The entire astral plane was engulfed in war and wailing.

Just when the Star Dragon Clan was on the verge of complete annihilation, in a moment of despair.

A powerful group of allies from a distant world has arrived.

They are true, pure-blooded dragons!

They possess the most noble bloodline and master the most fundamental laws.

Their arrival instantly turned the tide of the battle.

The True Dragon Clan fights alongside the Star Dragon Clan.

Together, they fought against the endless army of shadows.

It was a brutal war that lasted for tens of thousands of years.

Ultimately, they repelled the main force of "Shadow" at an extremely heavy cost.

Furthermore, the most powerful "source of shadow" was sealed deep underground in this world.

That is, the "nest" beneath the sacred spring in Canaan.

After the war.

To prevent the "Shadow" from making a comeback.

This is also to commemorate this hard-won victory.

The True Dragon Clan and the Star Dragon Clan signed a sacred covenant.

They combined their most primal powers to create a unique keepsake.

That is the mark of the stars.

At the same time, they also worked together to build an incredibly magnificent "Ancient Star Ruins".

That ruin was both their armory and their ancestral hall.

Inside, all the cultivation techniques, secret arts, and the most powerful weapons of war from both races are stored.

The key to unlocking this ruin consists of three things.

The possessor of the true dragon bloodline.

The heir to the Star Mark.

And, the star map bronze disc, which can locate the coordinates of the ruins!

All three are indispensable!

……

The torrent of memories slowly recedes.

Luo Qingchen's consciousness also returned from that ancient battlefield to reality.

He finally understood.

Everything is connected in series.

Bai Ling'er's true dragon bloodline. The star mark guarding the Canaanite tribes.

And there was also the bronze star map disc in his hand.

These three things were destined to come together from the very beginning.

This is not a coincidence, but an arrangement of fate.

It is that ancient covenant that transcends endless time and space, that provides guidance!

And he, Luo Qingchen, was the chosen executor!
"call……"

Luo Qingchen let out a long breath.

That breath of foul air was actually grayish-black, carrying a trace of purified curse power.

He slowly opened his eyes.

A dazzling starlight flashed across his pupils.

He was a completely different person at that moment.

Although his cultivation level remained at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, he had not truly broken through.

But his aura became more restrained, more profound, and more...powerful.

That kind of power is not a sudden increase in strength.

Rather, it is a fundamental transformation at the level of life itself.

If he was once a piece of refined steel, then...

So now he is a piece of divine iron containing the power of stars!

He felt that with every move he made, he could draw upon the power of the stars in the world.

He seemed to have become a part of this starry sky.

"Success..."

"He really succeeded!"

Elder Canaan, who had been standing guard by the side, was moved to tears upon seeing Luo Qingchen's transformation.

He could sense the vast aura emanating from Luo Qingchen, a aura that was perfectly integrated with the star mark, and even faintly surpassed it.

He knew he had made the right bet!

Luo Qingchen stood up and bowed deeply to Elder Canaan.

"Thank you, Elder, for granting my request."

He bowed willingly.

Without the trust and entrustment of the elder Canaan, he would not have achieved his current success.

"I can't do it! I can't do it!"

Elder Canaan quickly helped him up.

"Lord Luo, you are now the holy son of our clan, the hope of our clan! It should be me who bows to you!"

Luo Qingchen smiled and stopped worrying about etiquette.

He looked down at Bai Ling'er in his arms.

The little girl is still asleep.

But her complexion became much rosier.

The dragon-shaped mark between his eyebrows became even more solid and dazzling.

He could sense that the true dragon bloodline within the little girl's body had also received tremendous benefits during this resonance, and was reviving and growing at an astonishing speed.

Perhaps, when she wakes up next time, she will give me a huge surprise.

He looked again at the bronze star map disk floating in front of him.

The bronze plate has now undergone a complete transformation.

The entire piece has a dreamy purple-gold color, and starlight flows on the surface, as if it contains an entire universe.

In the center of the bronze disc, a brand-new, three-dimensional star map slowly emerges.

On that star map, a coordinate point shrouded in brilliant golden light was flashing incessantly.

That is the true location of the "Ancient Star Ruins"!
"Elder, it's time for us to set off."

Luo Qingchen put away the bronze plate, looked at Elder Canaan, and said solemnly.

The threat of "Shadow" is like a thorn in my side.

He must get to the ancient star ruins as soon as possible and find the power to fight them.

And I found my way home.

"it is good!"

Elder Canaan nodded emphatically.

"I'll go right away and gather the tribe's most elite warriors to follow the Holy Son and go on the expedition together!"

"No need."

Luo Qingchen shook her head.

"The tribe has just suffered a great calamity and is severely weakened. It needs to recuperate and rebuild."

"Moreover, the seal beneath the sacred spring also requires your personal supervision."

"The journey ahead is long and fraught with unknown dangers. The three of us are enough."

Elder Canaan thought about it and agreed that Luo Qingchen's words made sense.

He took out an ancient horn made of animal bone from his pocket and handed it to Luo Qingchen.

“Your Holiness, this is our clan’s ‘Wind Whisper Horn’.”

"As long as we blow this, no matter how far apart we are, we will receive your message. If we encounter danger, our Canaanite clan will rush to our aid, even if it takes the strength of the entire clan!"

"Thank you, elder."

Luo Qingchen solemnly accepted the horn.

They left the forbidden area and returned to the settlement.

Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan were already waiting there.

Their injuries have been mostly healed thanks to the healing elixirs and the nourishment of the sacred spring.

When they saw Luo Qingchen, unharmed and whose aura had become even more unfathomable, their hearts finally settled down.

"Brother Luo!"

The two women came forward at the same time, their eyes filled with joy.

Luo Qingchen smiled at them and briefly recounted everything that had happened.

When they heard the secrets of the "True Dragon Covenant" and the "Ancient Star Ruins," both women were so shocked that their mouths dropped open.

They never imagined that this unexpected misadventure would uncover such a shocking ancient secret.

"So, does this mean we really have a chance to go back?"

Tears of emotion welled up in Lin Wan'er's eyes.

"Ah."

Luo Qingchen nodded heavily.

"The ancient star ruins are our only hope."

The moment of farewell has finally arrived.

The entire Canaanite tribe spontaneously gathered at the entrance of the settlement to see them off.

The previous rejection and doubt have disappeared.

Respect, gratitude, and reluctance were on everyone's faces.

"Your Highness, take care on your journey!"

"We're waiting for you to come back!"

Under the watchful eyes of all the clansmen, Luo Qingchen and his two companions walked out of the huge cave and embarked on a brand new journey.

The road ahead is unknown.

Perhaps, it will be full of thorns and dangers.

But in their eyes, there was no confusion, only determination.

Because they already had a clear goal and the hope of going home.

According to the guidance of the star map bronze disk, the "Ancient Star Ruins" are located in a chaotic space known as the "Annihilation Starfield".

That place is extremely far from the Canaanite tribes.

Even for Luo Qingchen, with his current strength as a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, it would take at least half a month to fly at full speed.

To save time and effort, they decided to use the naturally occurring "space jump points" in the astral plane for long-distance teleportation.

This is also the information that Luo Qingchen obtained from the inheritance of the Star Mark.

however.

The space in the astral plane is far more unstable than they imagined.

Just as they completed their first spatial jump and emerged from a jump point.

An accident happened.

A terrifying spatial turbulence, without warning, swept in suddenly like a flood bursting its banks.

That power was extremely violent.

In an instant, it swallowed the three of them whole.

Luo Qingchen felt dizzy and disoriented.

An irresistible tearing force acted upon him. (End of Chapter)
