Chapter 1349
Huge Gain: Primordial Star Marrow
Ye Yang took a deep breath and composed himself.
With a flicker, he transformed into a streak of azure light and sped towards the depths of the Star Ruins Ancient Road.
At this moment, he was no longer as disheveled as when he first entered the ancient road.
The spatial perception of the Immortal Fixation Technique allows him to clearly perceive the fluctuations of the surrounding spatial laws.
"With the ability to perceive space using the Immortal Technique, this Star Ruins Ancient Road is no longer a dead end."
Ye Yang's lips curled up slightly, and with a light touch of his fingertips, a phantom star chart formed in front of him in the next moment.
He quietly infused his spiritual power into it, and in an instant, the star patterns on the jade plate began to swirl rapidly.
Immediately afterwards, a clear silver line extended from the center of the jade plate, pointing straight into the distance, which was the best path to the exit of the Star Ruins Ancient Road.
At the same time, the spatial anchor points around him trembled slightly, and countless subtle spatial fluctuations surged into his sea of consciousness.
Where are spatial turbulence rampant, and where are law traps lurking?
The surrounding space fluctuated rapidly, then became crystal clear again, as if a detailed star map had been unfolded before his eyes.
"We need to avoid this area!"
He closed his eyes and concentrated.
The next instant, he suddenly opened his eyes, a look of fear flashing in them.
A hundred miles ahead, in the void, lies an extremely dangerous spatial strangulation array!
It was a death trap woven from countless spatial rifts, invisible to the naked eye and difficult to detect even with divine sense.
Once you accidentally enter it, you will be torn to pieces by countless spatial rifts, and even your soul will not be able to escape.
After bypassing the spatial strangulation formation, Ye Yang continued forward.
After several more days, the astrolabe trembled again.
This time, what guided him away was a remnant of an ancient immortal battlefield.
The area was shrouded in a dense aura of malevolence and resentment, with countless fragments of broken magical artifacts floating within it.
Each fragment contains a terrifying killing intent.
Furthermore, countless restrictions intertwine, forming a vast and inescapable net.
According to the lineage of the Xuanwu Holy Sect.
This ancient battlefield is a remnant of a great battle between two true immortals in ancient times.
Although countless years have passed.
However, the residual power of the laws within can still easily obliterate cultivators at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm.
Ye Yang carefully avoided this ominous place, his reliance on the Star Chart and the Immortal Fixation Technique growing ever stronger.
The third dangerous place is a region of distorted spacetime turbulence.
The laws of space and time are completely chaotic here; one wrong move and you could be swept into the spacetime turbulence.
They may be exiled to the depths of unknown time and space, or crushed by the torrent of time, never to be reborn.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would probably have perished countless times in those three dangerous places.
However, with the help of the Immortal-Stabilizing Technique, Ye Yang managed to avoid all dangers without incident.
Along the way, he also reaped considerable rewards.
With his keen perception of the laws of space, Ye Yang discovered seven or eight small star fragments hidden in the spatial interlayers.
Although these fragments are not large in size, the refining materials they contain are the finest of the finest.
There is a type of Frost Marrow Star Iron that emits a ghostly blue light. It is icy cold to the touch and is a top-grade material for refining ice-attribute magic weapons.
There is also the fiery red, extremely hot yang essence metal, which is the best choice for refining fire-attribute magic weapons.
There are also some rare materials such as Void Crystal and Star Chalcedony.
Ye Yang carefully put all the materials into his storage bag, his joy beyond words.
Any one of these materials, if taken out into the outside world, would be enough to cause a frenzy among cultivators.
Now he has easily acquired it. It has to be said that although the Star Ruins Ancient Road is dangerous, the opportunities it offers are truly extraordinary.
After traveling for another ten days or so, Ye Yang estimated that he should not be far from the exit of the Star Ruins Ancient Road.
Just then, the star chart in his arms suddenly began to tremble violently, more violently than ever before.
The star patterns on the disc suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling golden light that almost illuminated the entire void.
Ye Yang was startled and immediately stopped.
He took out the star chart, and saw that the star patterns on the surface of the chart were flashing wildly, with all the light pointing in one direction.
Three hundred miles to the right front, there is an area covered by countless layers of spatial turbulence.
Ye Yang stared intently, and the area was shrouded in chaotic spatial turbulence, making it difficult to see the situation inside with the naked eye.
Strangely, although the spatial fluctuations in that area were unusually intense, there was no trace of danger.
Instead, an extremely dense stellar power overflowed from the depths of the turbulent flow, creating ripples in the void.
"This is……"
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.
The astrolabe has never reacted so violently before, which means that there must be an extremely precious treasure hidden in that area!
Without hesitation, he moved swiftly and sped toward that area.
The closer you get, the stronger the power of the stars becomes.
Upon getting closer, Ye Yang could clearly sense that the purity and vastness of that power far surpassed any stellar power he had ever seen before.
Layers of spatial turbulence raged before my eyes, like invisible blades, cutting the void into pieces.
Ordinary cultivators would probably have no choice but to give up in the face of such turbulent currents.
But Ye Yang couldn't help but relax.
He formed a hand seal and gave a low shout.
"Certainly!"
next moment.
The Immortal Stabilization Technique was activated, and the space within a ten-foot radius around him instantly stabilized.
The turbulent spatial currents that touched this area immediately dissipated as if encountering a natural barrier. Ye Yang walked slowly forward, using his Immortal Stabilization Technique to stabilize the surrounding space with each step, breaking through the turbulence step by step and advancing deeper into the area.
After traveling about a hundred feet, the spatial turbulence in front of them finally thinned out.
The next moment, a thin spatial barrier appeared in front of Ye Yang.
Through the barrier, he could vaguely see twinkling starlight inside, dazzling and bright, like an inverted galaxy.
Ye Yang took a deep breath, raised his hand, and slammed his palm onto the spatial barrier.
"boom!"
The barrier shattered instantly, turning into countless points of light that vanished.
The next instant, a star power so dense it was almost tangible rushed over, enveloping Ye Yang entirely.
He felt his pores open wide, and the Dao power within his body began to circulate spontaneously under the nourishment of this stellar power. Strands of pure stellar origin power slowly merged into his meridians, bones, and flesh.
"This is... a star mine nest!"
Ye Yang's eyes widened suddenly, filled with shock.
The sight before him almost made him hold his breath.
This is a naturally formed mineral nest, about a hundred feet in circumference, oval in shape, with countless pieces of ore that shimmer with starlight embedded on its inner walls.
The ores were silvery-white in color, with fine star-like patterns flowing across their surface, exuding a vast and pure aura—the legendary Star Essence Gold!
Star Essence Gold is a supreme treasure formed from the core essence of fallen stars. It is incredibly hard and can perfectly withstand the power of stars, making it a coveted material for crafting top-tier magical artifacts.
An ordinary cultivator could obtain a palm-sized piece of Star Essence Gold, which would be enough to forge a powerful magic weapon.
And the inner walls of this mine are inlaid with far more than a hundred pieces of star-refined gold!
To Ye Yang's even greater surprise, a large number of star core fragments were scattered on the ground of the mine.
The star core is the core of a star, containing the most essential power of the star.
Although these are all fragments, each one is no less valuable than a complete piece of Star Gold.
The entire mine was filled with the pure aura of stellar origin.
So dense it almost solidified, turning into specks of starlight that drifted in the air.
"It's out..."
Ye Yang muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed joy.
If all these materials were collected, it would be enough to forge dozens of treasure artifacts for suppressing meridians!
More importantly, he had previously obtained several high-quality Star Crystals in this Star Ruins Ancient Road.
Star Crystal combines with Star Essence Gold and Star Core Fragments.
It can help him reforge the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Evil King Blade.
In addition to achieving a qualitative leap, it even... touched the threshold of a true immortal artifact!
Ye Yang suppressed his excitement and began to carefully collect the treasures.
He first removed the Star Essence Gold from the inner wall, one piece at a time.
They carefully enveloped it with their divine souls to prevent the stellar power contained within from being lost.
It took Ye Yang a full hour to put all the Star Essence Gold into his storage bag, totaling 137 pieces, each about the size of a fist.
He then collected more star core fragments from the ground, numbering in the hundreds, of varying sizes.
Just as Ye Yang was busy, his gaze was suddenly drawn to the core of the mine.
There, a wisp of crystal-clear liquid, about the length of a finger, floated.
This liquid has a faint, chaotic color, with mysterious patterns flowing across its surface, exuding an ancient, vast aura that seems to trace back to the beginning of time.
"This is... Primordial Star Essence!"
Ye Yang's pupils suddenly contracted, and his breathing became rapid.
The Primordial Star Essence is the initial stage of the birth of stars.
Treasures formed from the essence of stars are extremely rare; even among ten thousand stars, perhaps only a single wisp of one can be born.
This item plays an irreplaceable role in nourishing the spirit of the artifact and strengthening its spirituality.
More importantly, the Primordial Star Marrow contains a trace of primordial chaos. If one refines and absorbs it, it can even cause a cultivator's foundation to undergo a transformation!
Ye Yang trembled as he reached out and carefully took the wisp of Primordial Star Marrow into his palm.
The moment he touched it, he felt a warm and vast power slowly seeping into his body.
His foundation, nourished by this power, became increasingly solid and perfect.
Ye Yang dared not delay and immediately used his divine soul to wrap the Primordial Star Marrow layer by layer, carefully storing it in the deepest part of his storage space.
After doing all this, he let out a long sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on his face.
The trip to the Star Ruins Ancient Road was far more fruitful than he had expected!
Just as Ye Yang was about to leave.
A deep roar suddenly came from deep within the mine.
"Roar"
The roar, filled with boundless savagery and killing intent, shook the entire mine nest.
Ye Yang's expression changed, and he retreated rapidly, the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Evil King Blade instantly appearing in his hands.
The next moment, three enormous figures burst out from the depths of the mine.
Those were three enormous monsters, their bodies formed from the fusion of star fragments and the remains of ancient ferocious beasts!
Each Starbeast was tens of feet tall, covered in silver-white star crystal armor, with a ghostly blue light flashing in its eyes, exuding a terrifying aura comparable to the mid-stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm.
As soon as they appeared, they locked onto Ye Yang, letting out a deafening roar as they pounced on him.
"go!"
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Yang's eyes. He unleashed the Dragon Abyss Sword, its azure sword energy crisscrossing, instantly colliding with the first Star Beast.
"boom!"
The sword energy collided with the crystal armor, sparking dazzling sparks.
The Star Beast was knocked back several steps, but its crystal armor remained undamaged. Instead, this fueled its ferocity, and it roared as it charged again.
The other two Starbeasts also launched an attack at the same time, and for a moment, the mine nest was filled with murderous intent.
Ye Yang remained calm and composed. He activated the Immortal Stabilization Technique, which stabilized the space around him. In his eyes, the attack speed of those Star Beasts was slowed down considerably.
His figure flashed, his sword and saber flashing simultaneously, the cyan sword energy and black saber light intertwining to weave a net of death in the void.
In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ye Yang slew the three Star Beasts, turning them into countless star fragments scattered across the ground. (End of Chapter)
