Five-Star Beast

Chapter 641 Eight-Star Beast

Located at the intersection of the Canglan Starfield and the Moyun Starfield, the ancient star Shenyuan 7 can only be entered by martial artists with Qi and Blood due to an agreement between the three starfields.

Chen Lie accumulated a massive amount of divine source within this ancient star of divine source, which is still stored in his storage bag.

Where did the divine source come from? Of course, it was obtained by the mining slaves, mainly the members of the Demon Heaven Sect, who mined day and night to seize it.

On the ancient star of Divine Origin, there were only Qi and Blood Warriors, and Chen Lie was at the first level of the Qi and Blood stage, which was far ahead of others. Therefore, he commanded many people in the Moyun Star Region.

This gloomy cloud is one of them.

At the time, when Chen Lie held the power of life and death, Yun Youyou once submitted to him and would even occasionally offer advice to show her loyalty.

He actually knew that Yun Youyou was the granddaughter of the sect leader of the Demon Heaven Sect, the head of the four major sects in the Moyun Star Region, and belonged to the top elites in the Moyun Star Region.

It is not surprising that he could be friends with Princess Chengning of Beimangxing, since the two were equally powerful and influential.

One's grandfather was the sect leader of the Demon Heaven Sect, and the other's grandfather was the emperor of the Holy Martial Dynasty; both were prominent figures in their respective star regions.

The Divine Origin Ancient Star is the Divine Origin Ancient Star, and the outside world is the outside world; the two should not be confused.

This Yun Youyou can use her power in the outside world to crush people from a barren planet without lifting a finger, even if...

It spans multiple star systems.

On the ancient star of Divine Origin, Yun Youyou had been in close contact with Chen Lie and must be familiar with his aura.

The moment Chen Lie saw Yun Youyou, he immediately restrained his qi and blood, using the Five Divine True Qi to conceal all his own energy.

If Yun Youyou finds out about this, it won't be a joke. Given their past grievances on the Divine Origin Ancient Star, if Yun Youyou sees through Chen Lie, she will definitely kill him.

Yun Youyou arrived at the jade platform, glanced at the twenty-odd people in front of her, and said indifferently, "This cultivation method is the ultimate cultivation method. Everyone here should have stepped into the Five Qi Gathering Origin realm."

The path of true qi circulation in the later stages of cultivation is missing. I will explain the key points from the previous chapters so that you can use them to preview the path of true qi circulation in the later stages.

Yun Youyou began to explain the key points of the first part of the cultivation method, her gaze sweeping over everyone, lingering on Chen Lie for a moment longer.

With Chen Lie deliberately concealing himself, it was unlikely that Yun Youyou would notice him. After all, on the Divine Origin Ancient Star, Chen Lie had also blurred his face with his spiritual power.

Beside the jade platform, Yun Youyou began to explain some key points of the first part of the cultivation method.

Looking at the markings on the parchment, Chen Lie understood.

This is an advanced cultivation method called "Five Qi Returning to the Origin".

The Five Elements Gathering at the Origin is the first ultimate realm for True Qi martial artists. After breaking through the Five Elements Gathering at the Origin, the five elements of true qi gather in the mind, and the five great divine treasures are successively opened. This is the cultivation of the ultimate realm of True Qi, the Five Elements Gathering at the Origin.

Based on Yun Youyou's description and the parchment, Chen Lie deduced that this extreme cultivation method must be extremely extraordinary, definitely exceeding the level of the Mo Yun Star Region.

Soon, Yun Youyou finished her story.

Princess Qin Zhenkui of Chengning said calmly, "I have given you the star olive leaves and blank parchment. You can use the star olive leaves as a medium to write the route of true qi circulation on the blank parchment, and add annotations and explanations."

Anyone who can successfully foresee both complete routes of true qi circulation, regardless of their skill level, I promise to guarantee them a first-level promotion at the Holy Martial Arts Academy.

Whoever is chosen will receive a substantial reward!

As soon as Qin Zhenkui finished speaking, everyone started discussing it.

Dong Changnan, standing beside Chen Lie, asked, "Brother Chen, do you know who the woman in white beside the princess is?"

"I don't know, I don't recognize him," Chen Lie shook his head.

"I guess you don't know him either. I heard that he seems to be from the Moyun Star Region, but someone who can be on equal footing with Her Highness the Princess must be of noble status and a top martial arts genius from the Moyun Star Region."

Chen Lie didn't respond. In his situation, he couldn't reveal his identity, otherwise he would be courting death.

"Anyone who can fully describe the path of true qi circulation can leave at any time. When they leave, they will receive a blank parchment and must hand over the second copy of the true qi circulation path to me within two days."

After Qin Zhenkui finished speaking, she said to Yun Youyou, "Sister Yun, my imperial aunt and my father should be arriving soon. Come with me to the coming-of-age ceremony, and they can come back to check on the results!"

"good!"

Yun Youyou nodded gently and left the courtyard with Qin Zhenkui.

After the two left, the girl in the black dress named "Wuxin" stepped forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please begin! If you can finish before the banquet, you may move to the square to watch the banquet for the princess and her coming-of-age ceremony."

After speaking, the girl in the black dress, named "Wuxin" (meaning "Heartless"), said to the guards outside the courtyard, "Please take a seat!"

The guards outside the gate each carried a table and chair and quickly set them up in the courtyard.

Twenty-seven tables and chairs were arranged in two rows in the courtyard, and the guards quickly withdrew after they were set up.

"Please, everyone!"

At the girl in black's prompting, everyone took their seats and began to carefully examine the notes on the parchment.

The cultivation method of the vehicle.

Chen Lie chose a seat on the very edge. Before he could examine it carefully, someone suddenly sat down in the empty seat next to him. He turned his head and saw that it was Dong Changnan.

"Brother Chen! Let's finish quickly, maybe we can still make it to Her Highness the Princess's banquet."

Chen Lie asked, "After I finished deduce the path of this true energy circulation, I handed in the parchment. How do I ask Princess Chengning to fulfill her promise? Will I have to wait another two days?"

"The princess only promised to meet the requirements in martial arts; as for other requirements—I'm afraid that will be difficult—"

"Wasn't it said that if the submitted parchment's energy circulation route was adopted, there would be an additional reward?"

"That will have to wait two days. The princess said that we need to complete a true qi circulation route here, and then take a copy back with us when we leave. We need to submit it within two days. Only if it is adopted will we receive a reward."

Chen Lie nodded, thinking to himself, "How can this be allowed?"

On May 2nd, the battle for the Four Star Regions will begin as scheduled. He only has one day left, and at the latest, he can obtain the permission to enter Death Ridge by tomorrow morning. If he waits two more days, it will be too late.

He stopped thinking about anything else and focused on reading the key points of the incomplete martial arts manual on the parchment.

After reading through the contents of the parchment, Chen Lie understood completely.

It turns out that this incomplete cultivation method is for cultivating the Five Divine Treasures.

Within the Central Galaxy Empire, the conventional method of cultivating the Five Divine Treasures involves using a special secret technique to open the five divine treasures of the human body after the Five Qi converge.

Among the five internal organs of the human body, the heart stores the spirit, the lungs store the vital essence, the liver stores the soul, the spleen stores the intention, and the kidneys store the will. These are called the five divine embryos, which respectively represent the five major divine repositories: the divine repository of fire, the divine repository of metal, the divine repository of wood, the divine repository of earth, and the divine repository of water.

By fully exploring the power of the five divine treasures, one can manifest divine power and condense the five divine embryos.

This incomplete cultivation method, being an extreme cultivation method of this kind, ultimately aims to manifest divine power and refine the five divine embryos.

This type of cultivation method is a common extreme cultivation method in the Central Galaxy Empire, which Chen Lie looks down on.

Before he even opened the Five Gods Treasury, he had already absorbed the Five Gods and cultivated the Five Elements Gods.

Once he unlocks the Five Divine Treasures, the Five Elements Gods will only advance further.

After all, his current state of "the five gods are contained within him, and he is one with heaven and man" is a profound realm exclusive to the top geniuses of the Central Galaxy Empire. Facing the geniuses of the Canglan Star Region and the Moyun Star Region, it is a dimensional reduction attack.

Chen Lie had seen many of these extreme cultivation methods at the Tai'a Star Province Martial Arts Academy, but his aptitude and comprehension were far from sufficient to deduce the circulation route of true qi.

However, although Chen Lie couldn't deduce the circulation route of his true energy, he could apply it, since he had seen many such techniques before.

o

Thinking of this, Chen Lie began to recall similar techniques he had seen at the Tai'a Star Province Martial Arts Training Academy.

The parchment and star-shaped leaves distributed by the maids were used to write detailed descriptions of the flow of true qi.

Chen Lie picked up the star olive leaf and began to draw a diagram of the flow of true qi on the blank parchment.

Based on his memory, he described the path of the internal energy, but made some minor changes in certain details.

Before long, Chen Lie had drawn a diagram of true qi circulation. He used the star olive leaf to transmit true qi into the parchment, which resembled the meridians of the human body. The weak true qi of the five elements slowly circulated on the parchment.

After completing the diagram of the true qi circulation route, Chen Lie wrote down the principles of true qi circulation, along with his own insights and understanding, next to it.

It took Chen Lie quite a long time to complete the drawing and annotation of the true qi circulation route diagram on the parchment.

After completing the diagram of the true qi circulation route, Chen Lie looked around and found that everyone else was still studying it diligently.

Dong Changnan, who was standing nearby, noticed that Chen Lie had stopped writing and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, have you finished your 'True Qi Circulation Diagram'?"

Chen Lie nodded.

"Impressive! No wonder you're ranked number one at Starry Sky University. Your aptitude is definitely several times greater than mine!" Dong Changnan exclaimed.

"How much more do you need?" Chen Lie asked.

"It's only just begun; there's still a long way to go."

"How about this, I'll help you complete your Qi circulation route map. After you hand it in, you take me to see Princess Chengning, okay?" Chen Lie asked.

"Well—Brother Chen, if I may be so bold, I'm afraid your request is difficult to fulfill," Dong Changnan said.

"Whether we can succeed or not, we should at least try!"

"Oh well!"

Seeing that Dong Changnan agreed, Chen Lie took the parchment from Dong Changnan and began to draw the route of true qi circulation.

This time, he drew on another extreme cultivation method from the Central Galactic Empire, using the Star Olive Leaf as a medium to transmit the Five Divine True Qi to the parchment.

Dong Changnan, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Chen, don't you need to think or deduce anything?"

"No need. I've already come up with two 'true qi circulation routes,' so I can just draw them out."

Drawing from memory naturally eliminates the need for thought.

But Chen Lie certainly couldn't just hand over the cultivation method of the Central Galaxy Empire like that. He only wrote half of it and kept the other half hidden. He even made minor changes to the half he wrote. Both parchments were like that.

While making changes, Chen Lie would occasionally pause to think for a moment.

Soon, Chen Lie finished writing down the true qi circulation route diagram that belonged to Dong Changnan and returned the parchment.

"Done, hand over your papers and let's go!"

"So fast?"

Dong Changnan looked around at everyone and found that no one had handed in the parchment yet, but Chen Lie had completed the amount for two people in a short period of time.

The top freshman at Starry Sky University, is he really that talented?

"Now that it's finished, let's hand it in!"

Dong Changnan stood up and went with Chen Lie to the girl in the black dress in front of them, where they handed over the parchment.

The girl in the black dress took the parchment from Chen Lie and Dong Changnan and said calmly, "You can take another blank parchment back and deduce a true qi circulation route within two days and hand it in."

Chen Lie and Dong Changnan each took a blank piece of parchment.

Before he even left the courtyard, Chen Lie saw that Qi Donglin from Langya Star in the Eastern Star Region had also handed over the parchment.

After leaving the courtyard, Chen Lie arrived at a small path within the Crown Prince's residence when he suddenly heard a burst of ceremonial music in the distance.

"Could this be the beginning of the princess's coming-of-age ceremony?"

Upon hearing the ceremonial music, Dong Changnan immediately said, "Brother Chen, let's go over quickly!"

Chen Lie was looking for Princess Chengning, so he nodded and followed Dong Changnan to a square.

Upon reaching the edge of the square, Chen Lie could see many guests on both sides of the square in the distance.

In the very center of the square, Qin Zhenkui, dressed in a bright green silk dress, stood gracefully, with two maids arranging her hair.

In front of Qin Zhenkui, there was a young man wearing a dragon-patterned python robe, sitting upright in a chair. Next to the young man in the dragon-patterned python robe was a cold and beautiful woman.

"The coming-of-age ceremony for Princess Chengning has indeed begun."

Dong Changnan said to Chen Lie, "Brother Chen, do you see the person wearing a dragon-patterned python robe sitting in front of the princess?"

That is the Crown Prince of our Northern Star Holy Martial Dynasty. Next to the Crown Prince is Princess Tianyue, who is also the aunt of the Princess.

Chen Lie nodded. He was very familiar with this Princess Tianyue. They had met more than once or twice in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm. She was an arrogant princess.

At that moment, a loud voice rang out.

"Princess Chengning, the coming-of-age ceremony shall now begin."

The coming-of-age ceremony involves three additions, the first being the addition of a hairpin!

As soon as the voice fell, the two maids on either side of Qin Zhenkui began to add hairpins to Qin Zhenkui's hair, which was tied up in a bun.

"The second addition is a hairpin!"

As the sound rang out, the maids on both sides added more hairpins to Qin Zhenkui's hair.

"The third addition: a hairpin and a crown!"

At this moment, two more maids came forward carrying a bright red dress with wide sleeves and began to dress Qin Zhenkui.

The maids on both sides simultaneously added hairpins and crowns to Qin Zhenkui.

"The ceremony is complete! Bow to your father and aunts, our elders."

Qin Zhenkui clasped her hands together and bowed to the Crown Prince of Shengwu and Princess Tianyue, who were seated in front of her.

"Zhenkui bows to express his gratitude to his father for raising him."

I express my deepest gratitude to my aunt for her loving care.

Crown Prince Shengwu raised his hand: "Rise!"

Qin Zhenkui bowed slightly, then stood up.

Princess Tianyue, Qin Yingyue, then said, "Xiao Kui, today is your coming-of-age ceremony. Your aunt has prepared a gift for you. I wonder if you like it?"

"What gift?"

Qin Zhenkui blinked her big eyes twice.

"A Tier 3, 8-star beast, I wonder if you'd like it?"

"An eight-star beast?"

Qin Zhenling was slightly startled, then a surge of joy welled up in her heart.
