Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 298 Immortal Abode Token

"The Stellar Transformation technique is indeed powerful. After breaking through to the Star Core stage, my power has become more and more concentrated and powerful. I can even easily kill demon cultivators in the early stage of the Void Realm."

Zhou Yang let out a long breath, but when he saw his spoils, he couldn't hide his excitement.

A nascent soul of a demon cultivator in the early stages of the Void Realm.

A black banner of the highest quality, a spiritual artifact.

And then there are the spatial rings of demon cultivators. You should know that the smaller the size of spatial equipment, the more difficult it is to forge.

Generally speaking, even experts in the Nascent Soul or Void Transformation stages use large spatial devices like storage bracelets. But this demon cultivator's spatial device is actually shaped like a ring. Zhou Yang didn't believe there wasn't something good inside.

Zhou Yang first refined and integrated the silver spatial ring into his body, and then put the demon cultivator's nascent soul, the black banner left behind, and the corpse into the spatial ring all at once.

He then stopped and flew off in a streak of light on his sword towards the Jinyang Sect.

Not long after he left, two young Taoist priests dressed in moon-white robes arrived on their swords at the spot where he had killed the pale-faced youth.

"There are still some lingering fluctuations from the aura of a demon cultivator here; it seems this is the place I sensed earlier."

One of the thinner young Taoist priests looked around and quickly gleaned some information from the remaining fluctuations in the aura.

"No wonder we waited for days on the way to the Silver Moon Sect without seeing anyone. I never expected that the Silver Moon Sect disciples would hide in the territory of my Immortal Dao Sect."

The young Taoist's eyes flickered, then a hint of doubt rose within them. "Judging from the lingering aura here, the fight shouldn't have lasted long. I just wonder what the final outcome was, and where that Silver Moon Sect disciple went."

Just as he was pondering this, another burly Taoist priest with a somewhat dark complexion lazily spoke up:

"Hey senior brother, a demon cultivator in the early stage of the Void Realm can just run away, why are we chasing after him like this?"

"Have you forgotten the elder's instructions?"

The slender Taoist glanced at him indifferently and coldly rebuked, "If it were an ordinary demon cultivator, it wouldn't be worth paying attention to. But this is a disciple of the Silver Moon Sect. You're not unaware of the recent uproar over the Immortal Abode. The Silver Moon Sect was almost wiped out because of it. The elders have ordered that any Silver Moon Sect disciple found must be captured or killed, and all spoils must be handed over. You should be able to guess why, right?"

"Ah! Could it be a keepsake?"

The dark-faced Taoist gasped in surprise, but then hesitated, "But senior brother, something so important is definitely in the hands of the Silver Moon Sect's strongest expert. What's the point of chasing after a mere Void Realm cultivator?"

"Hmph, how could it be meaningless!"

The gaunt Taoist snorted coldly, "A month ago, the five major immortal sects joined forces to launch a surprise attack on the Silver Moon Sect, killing the sect's strongest sect leader and several elders on the spot. However, the Immortal Mansion token was not found in their storage rings. Tell me, where did that Immortal Mansion token go?"

"Where did they go?" the dark-faced Taoist priest asked instinctively.

The thin Taoist priest glanced at him helplessly, but still offered an explanation:

"Where did they go? Either they were offered up to the other major demonic sects for protection, or they're hidden in a secret place, or they've been placed with some insignificant Silver Moon Sect disciple. Judging from the elders' orders, the last possibility is clearly more likely!"

"Ah? I see, I see. Senior brother, I must say, you're really quick-witted. No wonder Master's wife adores you!"

The dark-faced Taoist priest suddenly realized what was going on.

"What nonsense are you spouting! If you keep talking like that, I'll cut your tongue out!"

The gaunt Taoist glared at him fiercely, and seeing that he finally stammered and stopped speaking, he said coldly,

"I just used a secret technique to investigate and discovered that the demon cultivator's aura ended here. However, an extremely hot and intense aura lingers there. If I'm not mistaken, our target may have been beaten to it!"

"Get there first? Who, who dares to steal the fruits of our Jingyang Sect? Are they tired of living?!" Upon hearing this, the dark-faced Taoist's eyebrows furrowed.

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true. After all, Jingyang Sect isn't the only immortal sect on the Abyss Continent."

A cold glint flickered in the calm eyes of the lean Taoist. He addressed the dark-faced Taoist, "Judging from the lingering aura here, the person who made the move must have left recently. Here's what we'll do: you and I will split up and use our sect tokens to mobilize the surrounding cultivators and sects to help us search for any unfamiliar cultivators appearing nearby. We must find this person!"

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

The dark-faced Taoist priest responded.

The two then did not linger. After briefly dividing their tasks, they flew off in different directions at high speed.

Inside the secret cultivation chamber owned by Zhou Yang of the Jinyang Sect.

Zhou Yang, who rushed back to Jinyang Sect, then unleashed several streams of light to set up a small isolation formation.

He then sat cross-legged on the soft couch and began to examine the spoils he had obtained from killing the demon cultivator.

Leaving aside the Nascent Soul of a demon cultivator in the early stage of the Void Realm, Zhou Yang's soul realm had already reached the mid-stage of the Void Realm. After absorbing this Nascent Soul, he should be able to raise his cultivation to at least the peak of the Star Core Stage (Void Transformation Stage). At that time, with the power of the "Stellar Transformation" technique, his full power should be enough to rival cultivators at the peak of the Void Realm or even the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. With such strength, he would be considered a formidable expert on the Abyss Continent.

As for the top-grade spiritual artifact long banner, Zhou Yang was not interested in this demonic weapon since he already had a top-grade spiritual artifact short sword obtained from the Seven Shadows.

Aside from these two items, the biggest gain this time was the spatial ring belonging to a cultivator in the early stages of the Void Realm!

Zhou Yang only glanced at it briefly before a look of delight appeared on his face.

Not to mention the various elixirs, medicines, ores, crystals and other materials, there are even several finished high-grade and top-grade spiritual weapons.

Among these abundant materials and magical artifacts, one particular item caught Zhou Yang's attention.

He raised his hand and flipped it over, revealing a piece of ancient blue jade that looked somewhat like a crescent moon.

The ancient jade was crystal clear, and on the back were the two ancient seal characters "thirteen".

A vague attraction emanated from the ancient jade. Zhou Yang merely swept it with his spiritual sense and immediately felt a jolt in his mind as a mysterious message flooded into his brain.

After a moment, Zhou Yang's vision gradually cleared, and a hint of unexpected surprise appeared on his face.

"Xuanyuan Immortal Abode. Immortal's Relic? Interesting, very interesting."
