Chapter 626 The Seven Mansions of the Eastern Heaven, the Second Star God Kang Jinlong
After Chen Lie finished teaching Shen Jiuxi, he bid farewell to the Elder Zhenyuan and left the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Chen Lie went to the school affairs and resources office of the central campus.
He had originally planned to collect the spiritual treasure he received as a reward from the martial arts competition after he returned, but since he would be returning to Blue Star for half a month, he had to collect it ahead of time.
Upon arriving at the School Affairs and Resources Office, Chen Lie walked to the front desk in the middle of the lobby and approached a staff member.
"Hello, I'm here to collect my prize from the martial arts competition!"
"The reward for the martial arts competition? What is it?" the staff member asked, looking up.
"A rare spiritual treasure, and a high-grade earth-level martial arts technique."
As Chen Lie spoke, he handed the star card to the staff member.
The staff took the Star Card and swiped it on a special optical computer device.
Upon seeing the numbers displayed on the computer, the staff member exclaimed in surprise: "You're the top student in this year's freshman martial arts competition?"
"Yes!" Chen Lie nodded.
"You have already claimed all your rewards, except for a high-grade Earth-level martial arts technique and a rare spiritual energy treasure."
"I'm here to collect these two rewards," Chen Lie said.
"Okay, come with me!"
The staff member got up and led Chen Lie to the Starry Sky University's resource library.
Chen Lie followed the staff all the way to the mental energy resource storage warehouse on the first basement floor.
Upon entering the resource repository, the staff member led Chen Lie to a light curtain wall.
"Starry Sky University has more than 14,000 kinds of spiritual energy treasures. Every three months, a batch is purchased from Aurora Star. Now, more than two months have passed, and less than 3,000 kinds of spiritual energy treasures are left."
"Look at the light curtain wall. The gray and dark-colored ones are currently out of stock, so you can't choose them."
Chen Lie nodded. A spiritual treasure is a spiritual gem. Different planets may have different names for it, but it is the same thing.
Of the more than 14,000 spiritual treasures, most of the spiritual treasures in the Canglan Star Region are probably in the Starry Sky University's resource library.
However, now that only three thousand kinds remain, Chen Lie needs to carefully select them.
He looked at the naturally bright spiritual treasure on the light screen wall, then lowered his gaze and began searching.
Suddenly, he saw a fourth-tier spiritual treasure called the Spirit-Refining Divine Leaf.
Chen Lie pointed to the light screen wall and said, "I want this, the Spirit-Enhancing and Divine-Refining Leaf." "Okay!"
The staff placed Chen Lie's star card on the sensor below the light curtain wall, and then operated the instrument next to the sensor.
Fan.
A crystal box suddenly popped out from the wall above the mental energy resource bank.
A crystal box landed in front of Chen Lie.
"This is a rare fourth-tier spiritual power treasure, the Spirit-Enhancing and Divine-Refining Leaf. Keep it safe!"
Chen Lie took the crystal box, opened it, and sure enough, found a glowing green leaf inside.
After using his divine sense to examine the Spirit-Refining Leaf, Chen Lie put it into his storage bag.
"Would you also like to claim your other reward, the Earth-grade martial arts skill?" the staff member asked.
"Take it!" Chen Lie nodded.
"Okay, come with me!"
The staff then led Chen Lie to another martial arts resource library.
Upon arriving at the light curtain wall, a staff member stated, "There are tens of thousands of martial arts techniques here, including martial arts skills, fist techniques, palm techniques, and movement techniques..."
It has all kinds of knife skills and sword skills.
There are over a thousand Earth-grade martial arts techniques. As long as it's an Earth-grade technique, whether it's swordsmanship, knife skills, fist techniques, palm techniques, or movement techniques, you can choose from them.
Chen Lie looked at the light screen wall. He was selecting martial arts techniques because he intended to sell them, so he could not choose niche techniques. In addition to being powerful, the techniques must also be suitable for most people to practice.
After looking around, Chen Lie took a fancy to a high-grade earth-level fist technique and said, "I choose the Golden Sun Barrier-Breaking Fist."
The Golden Sun Barrier-Breaking Fist is a high-level Earth-grade fist technique suitable for martial artists who have cultivated both the Golden True Qi and the Yang True Qi. Even those who have only cultivated the Golden True Qi can also practice this fist technique. The threshold for cultivation is extremely low, since no one would not cultivate the Five Elements True Qi.
However, if someone who cultivates both metal and yang energies practices this fist technique, they can unleash even greater power.
After a few steps, the staff quickly retrieved a high-grade Earth-level martial art called "Golden Sun Barrier-Breaking Fist".
He handed Chen Lie a booklet and a crystal, saying, "This is the 'Golden Sun Barrier-Breaking Fist.' Practice according to the manual. Once you have a certain foundation, you can use the 'Golden Sun Barrier-Breaking Fist's' exclusive crystal to comprehend the profound meaning of the martial art and accelerate your training!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Chen Lie nodded and accepted the "Golden Sun Barrier-Breaking Fist" and its exclusive crystal.
Martial arts of Earth grade and above are all equipped with exclusive crystals. Cultivating Earth grade martial arts is very difficult. Even if you use exclusive crystals to comprehend them, there are still many difficulties. The crystals are only effective in the first few times.
Just like the "Golden Sun Breaking Barrier Fist," a high-grade Earth-rank martial art, there was a martial artist who had cultivated the "Golden Sun Breaking Barrier Fist" to at least the level of divine mastery. He poured all the essentials and mysteries of the martial art into this small crystal through his spiritual power. Comprehending the crystal can make the cultivation of the "Golden Sun Breaking Barrier Fist" twice as effective with half the effort. However, the cultivation of Earth-rank martial arts is extremely difficult. Even with the assistance of a special crystal, without exceptional talent, one cannot master it within a month.
After Chen Lie got his Star Card back, he left the School Affairs and Resources Department.
Having obtained the spiritual treasure, they went directly to the Divine Will Cave.
Although he had five chances to use the Zero Divine Intent Cave or Martial Intent Cave, Chen Lie didn't waste them. Instead, he went to an ordinary divine cave.
Yidong.
Upon arriving at the Divine Will Cave, Chen Lie sat down cross-legged and took out the Spirit-Refining and Divine Tempering Leaf he had just received.
"I'm about to return to Blue Star to participate in the Four Star Domain Battle. The Four Star Domain has 28 stars with a population of trillions, and there must be many powerful heroes among them."
Before leaving, let's boost our mental strength one last time and use a special mental energy treasure to cultivate the second star god of the Seven Mansions of the Eastern Heaven, Kang Jinlong!
Chen Lie's martial arts realm has just been raised to the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and it will definitely be difficult for him to break through in a short time. His spiritual power is also at the early stage of the third level, which is a little short. He can only cultivate the second star god of the Seven Mansions of the Eastern Heaven, Kang Jinlong.
Chen Lie shut his mouth and began to circulate the spiritual energy circulation route of the "Meng Zhang Divine Refinement Chapter," focusing on cultivating the second of the Seven Mansions of the Eastern Heaven, the Kang Mansion.
The Kang constellation, also known as the Kang Golden Dragon, is the head of the four celestial spirits, and the neck of the Azure Dragon beneath the head of the Azure Dragon.
According to the "Mengzhang Divine Refinement Chapter", Kang Jinlong possessed the ability to stabilize the mind.
Once activated, the ability can imprison the opponent at the level of consciousness, sealing off their mind and preventing them from controlling their own body.
Its effect is just like the "immobilization spell" in the myths and legends of Earth.
In Chen Lie's view, this ability was even stronger than the "spiritual illusion of the second star of the Seven Mansions of the Southern Heaven, the Golden Sheep God" in the Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter.
However, the "Mengzhang Divine Refinement Chapter" is the foremost of the Four Spiritual Power Cultivation Methods, so this is not surprising.
With the blessing of the Divine Will Cave, Chen Lie's circulation of the "Meng Zhang Divine Refinement Chapter" was extremely efficient, and he quickly entered a state of high quality.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful spiritual force directly absorbed all the energy of the "Spirit-Refining Divine Leaf".
With the help of a spiritual treasure, Chen Lie's spiritual power flowed more smoothly.
The stars of the second constellation of the Seven Mansions of the Eastern Heaven, the Kang constellation, slowly coalesced, and a golden dragon phantom gradually formed above the Kang constellation.
Before long, the golden dragon materialized from its phantom form. Driven by the spiritual treasure, the golden dragon's size suddenly increased dramatically. In a short while, the golden dragon's size surpassed that of the Horned Dragon, the first constellation of the Eastern Heaven.
Chen Lie calmed his disordered mental energy and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"The second star deity of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, Kang Jinlong, has been successfully forged!"
After experiencing the power of "Kang Jinlong's Mind-Stabilizing Skill," Chen Lie felt a profound sense of wonder.
"The 'Meng Zhang Divine Refinement Chapter' is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, the complete text is missing."
Chen Lie finally understood why Sheng Yingluo, the daughter of the Star Seeker, was so unwilling to change her cultivation method. If she did, her combat power would definitely drop sharply. Not to mention him, even if it were Chen Lie, he would never change his cultivation method.
After completing his cultivation, Chen Lie left the Divine Will Cave.
When Chen Lie came out of the Divine Will Cave, it was already dark. He hadn't had much rest these past few days, so he went back to his dormitory and had a good rest.
The next day, when Chen Lie woke up, he saw some messages he had received on his communication bracelet.
Zhang Wenwu: "Chen Lie, one of our starships is returning to Earth today, at noon. Don't miss it. Also, President Wang Shou of the Martial Arts Association would like to speak with you. Do you have time to come to the school's working group?"
Chen Lie replied with a message: "I'm going to the office of the on-campus working group right now!"
Zhang Wenwu replied, "Okay."
After leaving his dormitory, Chen Lie took an airship to the office of the Blue Star campus working group.
As soon as Chen Lie stepped off the airship, he saw Zhang Wenwu, the director of the Blue Star school-based working group, waiting outside.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, Zhang Wenwu immediately stepped forward and said, "Chen Lie, you've finally arrived! Come in and let's talk!"
I'm here to contact Chairman Wang.
Chen Lie nodded and said, "Okay!"
After entering the office with Zhang Wenwu, Chen Lie said, "Director Zhang, my mentor gave me a pass that allows me to go to Weiguang Star through the Starry Sky University's space jump station, then use the space wormhole between Weiguang Star and Chiyan Star to get to Chiyan Star, and finally return to Blue Star from Chiyan Star. This will save some time."
"Oh? It would be even better if we could use a space jump station!"
It seems your advisor values you highly. If you were an ordinary student, advisors at Starry Sky University wouldn't care about such trivial matters.
Zhang Wenwu said, "Alright, I'll inform the higher-ups within the star system later and have them inform Crimson Flame Star so they can prepare something for you in advance."
Build a starship.
"It's so much shorter to go from Crimson Flame Star back to Blue Star!"
After speaking, Zhang Wenwu immediately used his personal communication device to initiate communication with Blue Star.
Soon, Zhang Wenwu connected the working group with Blue Star, and a light screen projection immediately appeared in the office.
"President Wang, Chen Lie has arrived!"
Chen Lie took a step forward and saw Wang Shou, the president of the Martial Arts Association, and Lei Jinglong, the president of Starry Sky University, projected onto the light screen.
"Hello, Chen Lie!"
Inside the light screen projection, Wang Shou spoke first.
"President Wang, Principal Lei, hello!" Chen Lie greeted them.
"Chen Lie, Principal Lei and I, on behalf of the Blue Star government, would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to you for securing extraterrestrial resources equivalent to 30 million Galaxy Coins for Blue Star."
"It's nothing. We should strive for what we can."
"In addition, we would like to express our apologies for not being able to arrange for a representative to visit you in advance. It was an oversight on our part, and we hope you will not take it to heart."
Chen Lie nodded in agreement.
"Furthermore, Director Zhang Wenwu should have told you that he hopes you can take some time to return to Blue Star. Your ability to win first place in the Starry Sky University freshman martial arts competition demonstrates your exceptional strength. Blue Star is about to engage in a battle with Langya Star in the Southern Star Region, Jurong Star in the Western Star Region, and Hetai Star in the Northern Star Region. We hope you can return to lend Blue Star a helping hand!"
Inside the light screen projection, Wang Shou, the president of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association, spoke.
Zhang Wenwu said, "President Wang, Principal Lei, student Chen Lie is planning to come back."
His martial arts instructor gave him a pass, allowing him to use the Starry Sky University's space jump station to go directly to the Star of Twilight, then use the wormhole connecting to the Star of Crimson Flame to reach Crimson Flame, and finally return to Blue Star from Crimson Flame. This would greatly shorten the journey!
"Okay, that works too. Let's greet Crimson Flame Star right away!"
After communicating with Lan Xing, Zhang Wenwu saw Chen Lie out of the working group office.
Before he even left, Chen Lie encountered someone who shouldn't have been there: Shen Jiuxi.
Shen Jiuxi saw Chen Lie and said calmly, "So you really are here!"
"You were looking for me?" Chen Lie asked.
"Enough with the nonsense, use your communication bracelet to register a contact with me."
If I encounter anything I don't understand while tending the medicinal herb field, I can ask you anytime!
"Then you probably won't be able to ask. My communication bracelet lost signal after I returned to Earth!"
"Do you think I didn't think of that? If there's a real need, I'll have the family send a set of Starlink or other mobile orbital satellites that can roam across star systems to Earth. Then you'll have a signal!"
Chen Lie nodded and used the communication bracelet to register a contact with Shen Jiuxi.
As expected of a member of the powerful Canglong Star family, they speak with such confidence, casually deploying a satellite into orbit.
After recording Chen Lie's contact information, Shen Jiuxi turned and left without saying a word.
Zhang Wenwu was taken aback. He had thought that Chen Lie and this member of the Shen family were enemies, but now it seemed that they weren't.
For the people of Blue Star to be able to befriend such a powerful figure on Azure Dragon Star is truly a great fortune.
Chen Lie left the Blue Star campus work group and went to the Starry Sky University space jump station.
Upon entering the space jump station, Chen Lie saw multiple passages inside, some leading to planets of the Ten Star Alliance such as Tianming Star, Blood God Star, and Aurora Star. In fact, a considerable number of planets in the Central Star Region could be reached using this space jump station.
Furthermore, the space jump points in the Moyun Starfield, including Tianyi Star, Tianhuang Star, and Chongxing Star, are all included.
Chen Lie found the jump point on the twilight star and entered the space station's passageway.
As soon as Chen Lie entered, someone stopped him: "The space jump point of the Glimmering Star is ahead. You can only enter if you have a pass."
