Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 1: The Star-Breaking Sword and the Zhoutian Star Map (New Book, Please Collect)
In a small mountain village in the Xingluo Empire.

Ling Qianyao walked into the magic circle constructed by six black stones, with a golden halo flowing.

"Stretch out your right hand." A Spirit Hall master wearing a badge engraved with a long sword on his chest said to Ling Qianyao.

Light golden spots of light gradually gathered in Ling Qianyao's hands, and an iron sword with a diamond-shaped gem inlaid in the center of the sword guard emerged.

"Weapon spirit, iron sword." Su Hantao nodded with satisfaction. Being able to see spirits other than blue silver grass and hoes in a place that was not a town gave him some psychological comfort for the fatigue of these days.

"Put your hand on the crystal ball and test your soul power, kid." Su Hantao's voice was soft.

Ling Qianyao nodded and placed his hand on the blue crystal ball. The soul power in his body automatically flowed into the crystal ball, flashing with fluorescent light.

"Innate soul power level 6!" Su Hantao's eyes lit up. As everyone knows, the level of innate soul power is directly proportional to the aptitude of a soul master. The child in front of him might become a soul emperor in the future!
Thinking of his distant relative Su Yuntao, he felt extremely happy.

If this child could be lured into the Spirit Hall, then the date for marrying his "Sisi" would be much earlier than that of his cousin!

Ling Qianyao's eyes moved slightly. Although he felt a little regretful that the great soul master did not say "abandon the martial soul" when his martial soul awakened to lay the foundation for his own godhood, he was very satisfied with his martial soul.

Moreover, in a place that no one else could see, there was a shadow in the sword guard that was slowly dissipating and merging into the sword body.

It was an extremely magnificent star crown, with eighteen stars gathered around a diamond-shaped gem in the center.

His martial spirit was not this sword at the beginning, but this star crown, which is one of the top martial spirits on the continent represented by the six patterns on the Spirit Hall Elder Order.

Ling Qianyao silently put away his martial soul. He could feel that as the shadow of the star crown dissipated, his soul power was constantly growing.

In his mind, the Zhoutian Star Map that came into this world with him also reacted at this moment, reviving from silence and flashing with light.

His martial soul was shattered and reshaped because of the Zhoutian Star Map.

After completing the awakening ceremony for all the children and delivering the practice concepts of the "Meditation Method", Su Hantao took Ling Qianyao alone with him and led the children out of the wooden house.

Old Jason, who was waiting outside, came forward and said, "Soul Master, our village is..."

Su Hantao nodded, smiled, and patted Ling Qianyao's shoulder. "Iron Sword, your innate soul power has reached level 6. Congratulations."

Old Jason laughed so hard that his face was trembling with wrinkles. He slapped the boy's shoulder hard and said, "Okay, okay! I'll kill my sheep tonight."

Ling Qianyao grinned. Is there anyone speaking up for the sheep?
After the other children left, Old Jason looked at Ling Qianyao and said, "Qianyao, are you willing to study at Wuhun Academy? This year's work-study student quota in our village is yours."

"Of course I am willing. Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief." Ling Qianyao nodded heavily.

"Child, go home first. I have something to say to your village chief grandfather. When you come to Xingluo City in a month, you can find me at the Wuhun branch hall there. My name is Su Hantao."

"I understand, thank you, Brother Su." Ling Qianyao bowed slightly, then went to his residence alone.

Old Jason and Su Hantao looked at Ling Qianyao's departing back and talked to each other.

"Is he an orphan?" Su Hantao was stunned.

"He was abandoned. There was an old, single woman in the village who felt sorry for him and took care of him for several years. Unfortunately, by the time Qianyao was able to take care of himself, the old woman had passed away due to a cold."
-
After returning home, Ling Qianyao did not rush to tinker with his martial soul. Instead, he waited until late at night when everyone was asleep, closed the doors and windows, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

He opened the most common "Meditation Method" in Douluo Continent. There were only a few pages in the thin book, and Ling Qianyao quickly memorized the description on it.

He began to practice according to the meditation method, and the vitality of heaven and earth gathered towards him. The iron sword spirit appeared out of thin air in front of him, and the diamond-shaped gem on the sword guard gradually flickered.

The map of the celestial constellations in his mind also lit up at this moment. This long scroll of starry sky, which seemed both real and unreal, gradually unfolded, revealing an infinite galaxy containing 365 main stars and 14,800 auxiliary stars.

As Ling Qianyao's meditation technique was activated, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou diagram in his mind suddenly transformed into streams of light, immersing himself in Ling Qianyao's body. 365 rays of starlight imprinted themselves into 365 acupoints on Ling Qianyao's body. The remaining auxiliary stars sank into the remaining extraordinary acupoints.

When the last auxiliary star returned to its position, a faint dragon-like sword sound could be heard from Ling Qianyao's spine, and 365 acupoints lit up at the same time, outlining a complete Ziweiyuan star map on the surface of his skin.

In a flash, everything returned to normal.

"Full innate soul power." Ling Qianyao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the origin of his Star Crown martial soul had been transformed into nourishment for the new martial soul.

This change began when he began to awaken his martial soul, and now his soul power has reached level 10.

The iron sword suspended in front of him also underwent a transformation. As his soul power circulated, a miniature projection of the Zhoutian constellation shone on the sword guard. The sword body was transparent like stardust, and was covered with dense and fine lines, a total of 365 lines.

With a slight movement of his mind, this strange appearance returned to the appearance of an ordinary iron sword.

"Star-Breaking Sword." Ling Qianyao stroked the sword and murmured.

The departure of the Star Crown Martial Soul is worth Ling Qianyao's half-day remembrance. Its demise brings three basic skills to Ling Qianyao.

Astrology, once a day, can give you a glimpse of the good and bad signs for the next twelve hours.

Star Tempering, which can absorb the essence of stars to automatically strengthen the martial soul.

Xingyin can perfectly hide and disguise the original aura of the martial soul.

Looking inward at several points in the body, the flowing starlight flickers like breathing. There is some light, but it looks dim.

"Should we light them all up? But how do we do that?"

Ling Qianyao tried to use meditation to revive the Zhoutian Xingdoutu, but after a long time, he found that it was of no use.

He opened his eyes, sighed, got out of bed and opened the window.

The stars draw familiar star tracks in the night sky.

Ling Qianyao suddenly had an inspiration, and the now-disappeared map of the celestial constellations emerged in his mind. The boundless galaxy was performing endless changes in his mind.

He saw the Big Dipper, and all his attention was attracted by the star at the end of the handle.

In the void, wisps of star power poured into his body, and the "Mingmen Point" at the end of Ling Qianyao's spine suddenly burned like a branding iron - that was the exact point corresponding to the Yaoguang (Pojun) star.

"Pojun is a sign of killing." The dormant starlight in the Mingmen acupoint suddenly rushed up.

Three hundred and sixty-five acupoints vibrated at the same time, and only the Mingmen acupoint corresponding to the Yaoguang Star shone with brilliance. Among the 365 lines of the Broken Star Sword, the seventh line suddenly lit up.

He suddenly opened his eyes and closed the window instantly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Looking at the huge rock that had been placed in the corner for who knows how long, Ling Qianyao summoned Shattered Star and chopped it down!
With a slight sound, the boulder cracked.

Ling Qianyao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Visualizing the stars in the sky, and concentrating their power to temper oneself? If so, it can be called the visualization method."

He placed the Broken Star beside him, clasped his hands behind his head, and lay on the bed, closing his eyes to rest.

"It was originally the Star Crown Martial Spirit? It seems I have another origin story. It's from one of the top sects in the Xingluo Empire, the Star Crown Sect, a hidden sect during the Dou Yi period."
