Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Earth Tiger Star!"

Lu Feng's heart trembled.

He had not only heard of the immense power of the heavens and stars, but was also almost intimately familiar with it!

Because he had once found two fragments of star maps of unknown origin, and although the contents recorded on them were slightly incomplete, they were related to the stars and celestial bodies from beyond the realm.

However, the two fragments of star charts in Lu Feng's hands recorded celestial bodies with a different origin. They were the "Earth Flame Star," ranked ninety-sixth, and its power was much stronger than the "Earth Tiger Star" mentioned by Yin Baili.

"The Earth Tiger Star, ranked 104th on the Heavenly and Earthly Stars Ranking?"

At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from inside the treasure basin. He then stroked his beard and chuckled, "Hehe, Lu family boy, I didn't expect you to have such good luck. You actually managed to stumble upon another celestial star at the small Cangmang Mountain Falling Star Academy..."

"This is truly a stroke of luck from heaven...!"

"A stroke of good fortune? You must be kidding me."

Faced with Gu Canyang's sigh, Lu Feng didn't react as expected. Instead, he muttered to himself with a helpless expression, "Not to mention that for ordinary cultivators, subduing a celestial star is almost impossible, requiring nine deaths and one life, and also requires a powerful soul force as support..."

"With my mere fifth-level soul power, let alone subduing a celestial body, I should be grateful if I can even refine a sixth-grade pill. I should just wash up and go to bed."

"Hmph, what a spineless coward!"

Hearing Lu Feng's dismissive words, Gu Canyang's beard trembled slightly, and he immediately rebuked, "I didn't tell you to go and subdue that Earth Tiger Star beneath Cangmang Mountain right now. There's plenty of time, understand?"

"Furthermore, since this Earth Tiger Star has been buried underground for thousands of years and remains unclaimed, it means that the people from Falling Star Academy have limited power and are unable to subdue it in the short term. For you, kid, this is a golden opportunity!"

"Alright, alright! I understand, sir. You should go back to your treasure bowl and rest for now..."

Faced with Gu Canyang's lecture, Lu Feng agreed, but with time and a heavy task at hand, he didn't have time to argue with him and could only nod in agreement.

"Lu Feng, what are you muttering to yourself about?"

Nearby, seeing Lu Feng whispering to himself with his head down, Yin Baili also cast a questioning glance, seemingly unaware of the existence of the Treasure Basin's spirit, Gu Canyang.

After all, Gu Canyang was an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years. Even now, with only a wisp of his soul remaining, he was still far beyond the reach of a mere Yuanhai Realm warrior like Yin Baili, and naturally, the latter could hardly detect his presence.

"Uh, Elder Yin, I'm fine!"

Coming to his senses, Lu Feng grinned again and asked, "By the way, Elder Yin, could it be that your arrangement for the students to enter the Starfall Secret Realm is also related to this Earth Tiger Star?"

"good."

Nodding, Yin Baili explained slowly, "Although the power of heaven and earth and stars is extremely strong and cannot be controlled by ordinary people, our ancestors managed to do so with great difficulty."

"About three thousand years ago, our ancestor not only sealed the Earth Tiger Star within the Falling Star Valley inside the Starfall Secret Realm, but also set up numerous arrays to gradually absorb the Earth Tiger Star's power, ultimately benefiting the entire Cangmang Mountain and Falling Star Academy....!"

"I see...!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng nodded slightly.

With this, he finally understood why Cangmang Mountain was a blessed land with abundant spiritual energy, far surpassing the outside world. It turned out that all of this was inextricably linked to "Earth Tiger Star," one of the celestial bodies.

In other words, the reason why Falling Star Academy has endured for thousands of years and ranks as the number one academy in the Yuanfeng Realm of the Eastern Xuan Region is inseparable from the support of Earth Tiger Star.

"However, everything in this world has its advantages and disadvantages..."

Just as Lu Feng was filled with emotion, Yin Baili suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming increasingly solemn, "Although the power of Earth Tiger Star can benefit the entire Cangmang Mountain and Falling Star Academy, it is also a double-edged sword. If we are not careful, we will also suffer a great disaster...!"

"Elder Yin, what do you mean?"

Lu Feng was somewhat surprised.

"Although our ancestor sealed the Earth Tiger Star in the Falling Star Valley of the Starfall Secret Realm, in recent years, as the seal of the formation has gradually loosened and weakened, the power of the Earth Tiger Star has become increasingly violent and difficult to control..."

At this point, Yin Baili glanced at Lu Feng across from him again, and then said meaningfully, "You should also know that the heavens and stars come from beyond the realm, and are born with intelligence, which is beyond the control of ordinary people."

"According to the patriarch's initial deduction, the sealing formation of Falling Star Valley should only need to be reinforced every thirty years. However, this method is no longer feasible, and the interval has gradually shortened to twenty years, ten years, or even five years...!"

Yin Baili's tone was solemn, seemingly tinged with helplessness, "Therefore, in order to prevent Earth Tiger Star from breaking through the array seal and destroying the entire Cangmang Mountain and River Falling Star Academy, the academy will proactively open the Starfall Secret Realm every so often, and at the same time send a group of powerful students to Falling Star Valley to reinforce the array, in order to prevent any unforeseen events..."

"As for your mission on this trip, that's exactly it."

"I see...."

Having learned the whole story, Lu Feng also showed a sigh, thinking to himself, "The heavens and stars are indeed not something ordinary people can control..."

"As for the Earth Tiger Star, which ranks 104th on the Heavenly and Earthly Star Ranking, even though it has been sealed in Falling Star Valley by the founder of Falling Star Academy for thousands of years and has been constantly stealing power, it still has not submitted. Instead, it is always thinking about breaking free and escaping..."

At first, Lu Feng thought it was some thrilling mission, but he didn't expect Yin Baili's arrangement to be so simple. He was only asked to go to the Falling Star Valley in the Starfall Secret Realm to reinforce the array seal.

And all of this is related to the fact that Earth Tiger Star plans to break the seal.

After all, the yearning for freedom is the nature of all living things, even the heavens and stars.
