Chapter 390: Chapter 389 Nine Star Connection_1

Lu Yang returned to Sky Gate Mountain, seated himself atop a giant rock imbued with Sword Qi, and opened his mouth wide, swallowing spiritual energy as he calmed his heart to practice cultivation.

An endless stream of spiritual energy flowed into his body, transforming into pure spiritual essence under the operation of the “Mind Seeing Method” and surging within him.

He slowly extended two fingers, coalescing a ten-foot long green Sword Qi at his fingertips.

“Go!” With a swift forward motion of his finger, the green Sword Qi shot forward, piercing through three trees before disappearing half an inch into the fourth.

These were not ordinary trees, but Qiulong Trees specially planted by Daoist Buyu at Sky Gate Mountain. The trees had thick roots, like dragons, and overlapping bark that resembled dragon scales.

Legend states that there was once a tremendous battle in the Demon Territory involving the Long Clan. Countless True Dragons fell during the battle and their blood stained the lake red. The trees that grew on the bank of the lake were dyed in the blood of the True Dragons and underwent a transformation, acquiring the power of the True Dragons.

This marks the origin of the Qiulong Tree.

Qiulong Trees fetch a high price, and smaller sects would only dare to decorate their entrance with one or two. In contrast, a small forest of Qiulong Trees flourished at Sky Gate Mountain.

Lu Yang opened his eyes. Looking through the three trees he had pierced, he was delighted to see that his Sword Qi managed to penetrate half an inch into the fourth tree.

In the past, his Sword Qi could only pierce through three Qiulong trees, and would run out of force by the fourth, unable to even pierce the bark.

“Days of practice have indeed paid off!” Lu Yang felt he was getting increasingly adept at using Sword Qi. His three-foot green Sword Qi twined around his fingertips as nimble as a snake.

He could even use Sword Qi to clean his ears.

“It’s a pity that there is nobody within my realm that can rival my Swordsmanship, engaging in a debate with them would have made an interesting affair.” Lu Yang shook his head regretfully.

Although he hadn’t sparred in Swordsmanship with people of the same realm, the confidence brought on by the Invincible Elixir led him to believe that he was the best in Swordsmanship among his peers!

Fairy Eternity silently nodded in agreement. This was the essence of invincibility!

Lu Yang demonstrated the same aura that she possessed in her early years, he was indeed destined for greatness!

“Speaking of which, Fairy, since you and the other four created Buddhism, would you know the Buddha Land in Palm?”

“What is Buddha Land in Palm?”

“Fairy, haven’t you heard of this Great Divine Skill? It’s the supreme spatial Divine Ability of Buddhism, a level above the Heavenly Eye Technique, Heavenly Ear Technique and other six Divine Abilities.”

“Buddha Land in Palm, means having a large kingdom within your palm, creating unlimited space. Even if someone possesses a great Divine Ability or is extremely fast, they cannot escape once they fall into the palm. With one palm down, it’s as if a kingdom is leaning over, it is invincible.”

“Some even say that the Western Golden Buddha Country is, in fact, a manifestation of Buddha Land in Palm.”

Fairy Eternity pondered: “I never heard of Buddha Land in Palm before. It should be a magic skill created later, or perhaps a skill from our time that has had its name changed.”

“For example, I know of a Divine Ability called Universe in Palm. Within the palm lies creation. The vast galaxies are just toys within the palm, the Sun and Moon are merely two spheres of Yin and Yang, and everything else is insignificant.”

“Perhaps Universe in Palm is Buddha Land in Palm, and the younger generations merely changed its name.”

“I remember hearing that the Ancient Nameless One molded the vast galaxies into a continent. Perhaps it’s this move!”

Thinking of the Ancient Nameless One performing the Universe in Palm move made Lu Yang’s scalp tingle. Just how powerful would one have to be to randomly integrate the stars?

Even the celestial calamities seemed insignificant in the face of such power from an Immortal!

“You know, the rotation of the stars follows a certain pattern, oh, right, you’ve never been to the cosmos, so you’ve not seen how the stars rotate.”

Fairy Eternity narrated with a touch of pride: “I once traveled through space, watching meteorites circle around the stars, smaller stars rotating around the larger ones, and I couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that smaller objects rotate around larger objects is the rule of star movement?”

“After observing, guessing, drafting, calculating, and verifying, I finally…”

“In the end, did you, Fairy, calculate the laws of star movement?” Lu Yang interrupted, admitting that at times, the Fairy does showcase her intellect.

“No, Immortal Jiuchong told me that someone had already figured out this law.”

Lu Yang: “…”

It makes sense, one does not need to ascend to Immortality to travel to the cosmos. One can do so during the Unification stage or Transcendence Tribulation stage. If someone were determined enough, spending a couple of years observing a star would enable them to figure out the laws.

And it would take even less time if one encountered a master of time magic, maybe just half an hour.

“Back then, our belief in astrology was popular, and one respected astrologer pointed to a certain nebula and said he had calculated that when the nine stars lined up, the star area they were in would fall into massive chaos, causing countless deaths and the destruction of the star area.”

“And according to the rotation of the stars, that alignment of the nine stars would occur in just three years!”

“The astrologer was named Shi Cang and he came from the Imperial Shi Clan, which had a far-reaching reputation. Half of his predictions turned out to be accurate.”

“As you know, some cultivators believe in destiny, while others do not, so they started discussing how to deal with this calamity.”

“Those who believed in destiny agreed with Shi Cang’s prediction and felt an urgency to relocate the people living on these stars to other stars which were livable but underpopulated.”

“Those who didn’t believe in destiny thought it was unnecessary to have billions of living beings move based on one man’s words. Such a move would inevitably cause a significant number of deaths, and starting anew on a new star would take countless generations.”

“Then, Fairy, do you believe in destiny?”

“After hearing this, I directly shattered one of the deserted stars, so that the alignment of nine stars could never occur!”

Lu Yang silently gave a thumbs-up, admiring Fairy’s quick-thinking and audacious actions.

“Although I hadn’t become an Immortal at that time, shattering a couple of stars was still quite simple,” she added casually.

“After shattering one star, I found an Array Method hidden in its core. This sparked my curiosity, and I went on to find eight other stars. These eight stars also had the same Array Method in their cores.”

“Based on my inference, when the nine stars lined up, the Array Methods would resonate with each other and trigger a massive explosion.”

“This was done intentionally?!”

Fairy Eternity spat out hatred-filled words: “Yes, it was that bastard Shi Cang! He used the name of astrology to sow chaos and gain enormous benefits. In reality, all the disasters they predicted were set up by them in secret!”

“I was so furious that I killed Shi Cang. The Imperial Shi Clan came forward to apologize and compensate for his actions, but I was indifferent and continued killing. The Imperial Shi Clan tried to block my path to advancing to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage because I refused to give face.”

Still fuming, the Fairy continued: “But it was futile, my talent is unique in all of history. When it’s time for me to reach the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, I will!”

Lu Yang gave a round of applause.

The tricks and schemes of the ancient times were indeed unimaginable, with stars as the unit of their calculations, just how many people would be affected?

As Lu Yang was contemplating how terrifying the hidden schemes of ancient times were, he heard Fairy Eternity asking him.

“By the way, would you like to learn Universe in Palm? I can teach you.”

“Universe in Palm? Me?” Lu Yang looked at his own small palm, feeling that the Fairy was expecting too much from him.
