Mortal: I can enter the spirit world at the beginning

"It's time to completely complete my spiritual roots."

Yang Qian's eyes flashed with a sharp light, like the brightest stars in the night sky. He flicked his fingers lightly, and the spiritual power on his fingertips flashed away.

Two brilliant rays of light suddenly burst out from the storage spirit ring, drawing an elegant arc in the air, and finally stopped floating in front of Yang Qian.

It spun around, and as the light faded, three demon pills of different colors slowly appeared before their eyes.

The golden demon pill is as dazzling as the sun, and comes from the Golden Dragon King in the Chaos Star Sea; the green demon pill is as crystal clear as jade, and comes from Mu Kui in Kunwu Mountain; the red demon pill is as red as blood and as hot as fire, and comes from the ancient fire toad in the Demon Valley.

Yang Qian himself possesses thunder spiritual roots, which are mutated from water and earth spiritual roots. Therefore, if he wants to complete his spiritual roots, he only needs demon pills with the attributes of gold, wood, and fire.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Qian waved his hand, and three demon pills floated in the air. The next moment, hundreds of precious materials of various shapes flew out from the storage ring one by one.

Time flies by like a white horse passing by.

Ten years have passed like a dream.

Fifty years have passed, and the world has changed a lot.

A hundred years later, everything has changed.

Over the past two hundred years, the legend has gradually settled into an ancient memory.

And more than three hundred years have passed.

The name of Yang Qian, the Holy Lord of the Star Palace, has become a legendary symbol in the Chaos Star Sea.

The young low-level cultivators’ understanding of Yang Qian was limited to those legends that had become somewhat blurred by the passage of time.

As they listened to Yang Qian's legendary deeds, their hearts were filled with yearning and awe, but they found it difficult to imagine the true face of the Star Palace Saint Lord.

In the hearts of this group of young monks, Yang Qian has long become a mythical figure in the Chaos Star Sea. His existence is as distant and mysterious as the stars.

As for those high-level cultivators in the Jindan and Yuanying stages, many of them have left their traces in the long history of the Chaos Star Sea, and many of them have seen the true appearance of Yang Qian, the Holy Lord of the Star Palace, with their own eyes.

However, as time went by, most of them died for various reasons.

Some died in fierce battles, some disappeared forever in their search for the secrets of the outer sea, and others died helplessly due to the end of their lifespan.

Therefore, the number of people who have actually seen Yang Qian has become very small in the world of immortal cultivation.

Even some monks from the sects began to speculate whether the Holy Lord of the Star Palace was seriously injured due to practicing some powerful secret technique, or was on the verge of death.

They believed that the reason why Xinggong did not announce the news to the outside world was just to maintain the stability of its own rule.

However, these are nothing but conjectures of these cultivators. As for how the veil of truth will be unveiled, perhaps only those who have had in-depth interactions with Yang Qian can get a glimpse of it.

Amid the turbulent waves of the Chaos Star Sea, Yang Qian's legend is like a lighthouse in the sea, still shining brightly in the long river of time.

Whenever night falls, when the stars and waves complement each other, people always silently mention the name that once caused a stir in their hearts.

However, in the eyes of some experienced and weathered cultivators in the Chaos Star Sea, Yang Qian is like a miniature of the Twin Saints of the previous generation of Heavenly Stars.

These people speculated that the Holy Lord of the Star Palace was trapped alive in Tianxing City because he practiced the Yuanci Divine Light and was unable to get out.

Various speculations are as surging as the waves of the starry sea, with so many different opinions that it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

However, the Star Palace was like a dead silent deep sea, and no one was willing to step forward to uncover the truth behind this chaotic situation.

Therefore, although the situation in Chaos Star Sea seems calm on the surface, there are actually undercurrents. Some scoundrels are beginning to stir, trying to seek their own interests in this chaotic situation.

In the bustling market of Tianxing City.

A medicine shop named "Wangyou Pavilion" stands quietly.

Inside the shop, a middle-aged man with a square face was holding a green porcelain bottle in his hands, his eyes full of entanglement and reluctance.

The porcelain bottle contains a panacea called "Zhenyuan Pill", which is an excellent choice for cultivators in the foundation-building stage to improve their magic power.

Next to the square-faced man, there was a girl with pigtails, innocent and curious in her eyes. She looked at the porcelain bottle in the man's hand, and seemed to be able to feel the extraordinary nature of the elixir.

On the other side of the counter, a fat man with a red face was yawning out of boredom. He glanced at the square-faced middle-aged man and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Fellow Daoist Qin! I'm sure you know how precious the Zhen Yuan Pill in your hand is." The red-faced fat man shook his head and said, "This is a top-notch elixir for improving your magic power during the Foundation Establishment Period. If it weren't for our friendship, I wouldn't have given you such a favorable price."

The square-faced middle-aged man smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and said, "Brother Wang, I have long coveted this Zhen Yuan Pill, but I am a little short on cash. Can you give me a discount?"

Upon hearing this, the red-faced fat man's eyes immediately widened as big as copper bells, and he snorted, "You want a discount? Do you think I'm running a charity? The value of this Zhen Yuan Pill is well known to you and me. I'm giving you this price because of our friendship over the years. If you dare to bargain again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After he finished speaking, he moved swiftly, snatched the green porcelain bottle from the square-faced middle-aged man's hand, and held it tightly in his palm. The action was decisive and crisp, leaving no room for the other party.

"Hey, hey! Brother Wang! Brother Wang!"

The square-faced middle-aged man reached out his hand hastily, but did not dare to act rashly.

The shops in the market town of Tianxing City are all equipped with restrictions that will be triggered if you are not careful. In addition, there are patrolling guards from the Star Palace outside the city who are closely monitoring the situation. Any disturbance will lead to an investigation.

What's more, the red-faced fat man has a strong background. His uncle is the owner of one of the twelve star islands in the Star Palace. He is a great master in the Jindan stage and has the support of the Star Palace. Who among the ordinary foundation-building cultivators dares to offend such a force easily?

Although the square-faced middle-aged man had reached the late stage of foundation building, and the red-faced fat man was only in the middle stage of foundation building, he did not dare to act rashly in front of such a force. Seeing this, the red-faced fat man's expression eased slightly. After a pause, he continued, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you and I have known each other for many years. I have already lowered the price of this Zhenyuan Pill to the lowest. You are now in the late stage of foundation building. If you get the help of this pill, it will not be difficult to break through to the peak of foundation building. You must think carefully."

He held the porcelain bottle in his hand, with a gleam of light in his eyes, as if he had seen the square-faced middle-aged man's heartbeat.

"Alas! My cultivation progress is slow now. If I can have this bottle of Zhenyuan Pill, perhaps my magic power can leap forward and enter the peak realm of the foundation-building period. Then, I can try to condense the golden pill! If I can form the golden pill successfully, I will be qualified to participate in the 'Star Picking Conference', which is what I have always wanted." The square-faced middle-aged cultivator sighed lightly, revealing a deep yearning in his words, but also a bit of helplessness.

"Star Picking Conference? You want to participate in the Star Palace's Star Picking Conference?!" Upon hearing this, the red-faced fat man had a strange smile on his face, and then he burst into a hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Qin, you have lofty ambitions, but it's not that easy to participate in the Star Picking Conference. Although cultivators in the early stage of Jindan can sign up, the ones who can really stand out are all strong people in the late stage of Jindan. Even among cultivators in the middle stage of Jindan, there was only one lucky person who was able to stand out in the last session."

After hearing this, the square-faced middle-aged monk's heart trembled slightly, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

"Master, what kind of event is this Star Picking Conference?" The girl with pigtails nearby asked softly with curiosity glittering in her eyes.

"This is a long story." The square-faced monk turned around and looked at the curious girl, and was about to explain in detail.

However, the red-faced fat man next to him took the lead and took over the conversation, smiling proudly:

"Hehe, this Star Picking Conference is a major event in our Chaos Star Sea cultivation world!
Let me tell you about it!

Xinggong, as the ruler of our Chaos Star Sea, in addition to Tianxing City, has also established directly governed sub-islands in each of the eight outer areas and the four central areas of the Inner Star Sea, taking the three largest islands.

It is said that there are twenty-four outer star islands and twelve inner star islands, forming a supporting shape for Tianxing City.

The appointment of these Star Island Masters is carried out in two ways.

The inner twelve star islands are appointed by the two holy masters, the Twin Saints of the Sky Stars, who each select six people from within the organization.

As for the outer twenty-four star islands, a challenge and selection will be held openly in Tianxing City every hundred years. The final winner will automatically become the island master and enjoy the treatment of holding great power.

Therefore, the conference held every hundred years in Tianxing City to select the masters of the outer islands is called the "Star Picking Conference" by many cultivators who want to make a leap forward. When the conference is about to be held, almost all the high-level cultivators in Chaos Star Sea will gather here. "

After listening to the red-faced fat man's story, the girl with pigtails nodded slightly, her eyes flashing with thought.

Then, she bowed respectfully and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, Senior Wang, for telling me!"

"Hey! You, a girl, have good aptitude. You have reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining Stage at such a young age. It's just a matter of time before you break through to Foundation Establishment Stage. How about this, do you want to join Xing Palace? With your aptitude, it's not impossible for you to become an outer disciple of Xing Palace." The red-faced fat man's eyes turned, and a hint of cunning flashed in them. He smiled and patted his belly, and the fat on his face trembled.

Hearing this, the square-faced middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, he seemed a little nervous, his lips moved slightly, but in the end he did not say anything.

"Thank you, Senior Wang, for your kindness! But Chan'er just wants to follow Master and strengthen our sect! Please forgive me!" The girl with pigtails shook her head and refused neither arrogantly nor humbly.

Hearing Chan'er's answer, the square-faced middle-aged man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

The red-faced fat man didn't get angry when he heard this. Instead, his eyes flickered with admiration: "Tsk tsk, not bad, not bad! Fellow Daoist Qin, although your talent is mediocre, you have a unique vision in accepting disciples. This girl is not only gifted, but also loyal. It's really rare!"

"Haha, brother Wang, you really praise me too much!" The square-faced middle-aged man waved his hand, with a smile on his face, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face. "Chan'er is a child with extraordinary talent. She has already surpassed my cultivation level at my age. This is an indisputable fact. I have no other wishes, but I hope to break through the bottleneck and advance to the Jindan stage. In this way, at the Star Picking Conference a hundred years later, I can fulfill my long-cherished wish. If I am lucky enough to win one of the outer twenty-four star islands, it will be considered to have paved a broad way out for Chan'er."

"Well, nevermind. I'll trade this bottle of Zhen Yuan Dan to you. Come to think of it, Fellow Daoist Qin, you're not without a chance." The red-faced fat man nodded and smiled. After throwing the green porcelain bottle to the square-faced middle-aged man, he continued, "This Star Picking Conference will be held soon. I heard that one of the Twin Saints, Ling Shengzhu, will be there in person to hand out the Island Master Token to the final winner. This is a once-in-a-century event in the Chaos Star Sea. I'm afraid we'll have to wait another hundred years to see the next Star Picking Conference."

The square-faced middle-aged man looked delighted and hurriedly thanked him, then threw a bulging storage bag over.

But after hearing these words, his hand stroking the green porcelain bottle paused again.

"Saint Lord Ling? She will be attending as well?" The square-faced middle-aged man showed an undisguised look of surprise in his eyes. "I remember the last conference wasn't this grand."

Chan'er was listening to the conversation between the two people, her eyes wide open, her heart filled with infinite longing and anticipation for the upcoming Star Picking Conference, as well as awe and curiosity towards the Saint Lord of the Star Palace.

"Indeed, I also heard the news from my uncle." The red-faced fat man lowered his voice and looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping. "But this is not a secret. It has long been a hot topic in Tianxing City. And..."

His words suddenly became subtle at this moment, as if they contained a major secret.

"Brother Wang, do you have any secret information?" The square-faced middle-aged man's expression tensed and he immediately came over.

Chan'er couldn't help her curiosity and her little ears stood up.

"I heard that the other of the two saints, Saint Lord Yang, who is feared throughout the Chaos Star Sea, seems to be trapped in the Holy Mountain of Heavenly Stars and cannot escape." The red-faced fat man said mysteriously, "For the past few hundred years, the rule of the Star Palace has been turbulent because of this. Therefore, Saint Lord Ling showed up in person to stabilize the situation and restore the dignity of the Star Palace."

"You mean Saint Lord Yang?!" The square-faced middle-aged man's pupils shrank, his face was solemn, and his voice was very low. "I have also heard a lot of legends about this person. It seems that he is practicing a peerless magical power called 'Yuanci Divine Light'. He has never set foot outside Tianxing City for hundreds of years."

"Not only that?" The red-faced fat man continued mysteriously, "Even the elders in the Star Palace are said to have never seen the true face of Saint Yang. My uncle, who was elected as the island master of Zhenxing Island, one of the inner twelve star islands three hundred years ago, has never heard any news about Saint Yang in the Star Palace."

"Oh?" The square-faced middle-aged man frowned, with deep doubts in his eyes, "This is indeed a bit unusual! The old man Yang Shengzhu is famous and powerful. His cultivation and magic power are enough to suppress the entire Chaos Star Sea. But why has he never appeared in hundreds of years? Could it be..."

"Hush - be careful with your words!" The red-faced fat man waved his hand fiercely, interrupting the square-faced middle-aged man's speculation. His eyelids twitched slightly, and he seemed afraid to continue. "We have said too much today, and it is not appropriate to go into details. Fellow Daoist Qin!"

The red-faced fat man was about to say something else when suddenly, the entire Tianxing City seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force.

boom--

A deafening thunder, like a bolt from the blue, exploded in the sky.

The two were startled by the sudden noise and their faces changed drastically. They looked at each other with doubt in their eyes. (End of this chapter)
