Chapter 613 - 612: The First Place Indicated by the Coin

Chapter 613: Chapter 612: The First Place Indicated by the Coin

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan steadied herself. ’Perhaps it’s not a matter of his Realm. The Reverse Star River might be strange, but there must be a normal way to overcome it.’

’Maybe that person just knew about it in advance.’

’Or maybe he has some kind of Talent that’s perfectly suited for it.’

’Still, I need to be vigilant. I have to keep an eye on this person.’

’Especially since he might be connected to the Holy Land.’

’After all, we’re within the Holy Land’s territory right now. I don’t want to make an enemy of them.’

’Mainly because Jian Shisan is just too strong.’

Then, faint ripples appeared beneath Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan’s feet, and her pace suddenly quickened, nearly catching up to Jiang Zuo.

Although she couldn’t do it exactly like Jiang Zuo, she understood the principle. With her knowledge and abilities, creating a similar effect was simple enough.

And so, she too had freed herself from the hindrance of the Reverse Star River.

Jiang Zuo didn’t even spare her a glance. The Reverse Star River was simple to begin with, so it was perfectly normal for someone to figure out a way through.

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator wasn’t surprised either. His master was his master, after all. She was formidable.

"Name your price. I want all the information you have on that man," the Black-robed Demon Cultivator suddenly heard his master’s voice transmission.

Without much hesitation, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator refused. "Master, I can’t afford to sell it. Really."

"One Ninth-Grade Spirit Stone," his master named a price directly.

Hearing this price, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator trembled.

’A Ninth-Grade Spirit Stone... for just a few sentences of information.’

’To pass up on a deal like this would be a crime against heaven itself.’

In the end, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator said, "Master, I don’t dare. Please don’t raise the offer. He’s someone we can’t afford to provoke."

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan frowned and didn’t send any more transmissions.

’Not even a Ninth-Grade couldn’t move my disciple. That’s truly rare.’

’For a Ninth-Grade deal, my disciple would normally risk his life, wouldn’t he?’

’Back then, he earned a single Seventh-Grade and caused so much trouble for me. He’s good at running away, but did he forget he still has a master?’

’Did he not realize they would come knocking on my door?’

’So, for him to refuse a Ninth-Grade deal, it must involve no ordinary person or matter.’

Although she was curious, Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan didn’t dwell on it.

She had a purpose for this trip, and achieving her goal was paramount. She didn’t want to stir up any unnecessary trouble.

In the end, Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan departed in silence.

But before she left, she glanced at Chi Xue Child.

After Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan was gone, Chi Xue Child said, "That senior just glanced at me, right? Am I in some kind of danger?"

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator said, "Master has probably been thinking about finding a partner for my junior sister lately, and she thinks you’re not a bad choice."

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Witch Dan Xue? She’s a bit of an oddball, but I doubt she has trouble getting married, does she?"

Chi Xue Child said, "I think she has plenty of trouble. After all, she’s a Zombie Fairy."

Jiang Zuo had seen Witch Dan Xue’s true face. In theory, as long as she didn’t wear makeup, she shouldn’t have any trouble getting married.

But in matters of Cultivators, looks weren’t the deciding factor.

The ones who prioritized looks were usually High Tier Cultivators looking down on Low Tier ones.

A Low Tier Cultivator had no power to resist a High Tier one. It didn’t matter what they looked like; resistance was futile.

Of course, what Low Tier Cultivators cared about was also strength.

For example, how would a Tier Three Fairy choose between an average-looking Tier Five Cultivator and an incredibly handsome Tier One Cultivator?

The choice was tantamount to choosing between life and death.

Unless one’s background was powerful enough.

And Witch Dan Xue had Tier Three Cultivation, good looks, was considered a genius by normal standards, and had a powerful background to boot.

So, she really shouldn’t have any trouble getting married.

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator shrugged. "It’s mainly because my master thinks my junior sister has fallen for Mo Yan."

Chi Xue Child was stunned. Blade Master Hai Bian was stunned. Even Jiang Zuo was taken aback for a moment.

’Does the Cultivation Realm have these kinds of problems too?’

Then, with a tacit understanding, they all dropped the topic.

It was too complicated.

Jiang Zuo’s pace wasn’t fast, and he had no intention of chasing after the Black-robed Demon Cultivator’s master.

He just needed to proceed step by step.

He didn’t want to waste too much Spiritual Qi.

The Celestial Star Cave Mansion contained many useful things.

But the inside was not a friendly place.

For instance, the Celestial Star Cave Mansion was built upon a Spirit Locking Stone.

Or rather, the Celestial Star itself was a Locking Spirit Star.

Spiritual Qi was completely non-existent on its surface.

Only Spirit Medicines and Spirit Grasses could absorb Spiritual Qi from the ground.

If one wanted to absorb Spiritual Qi inside, the method was simple: find plants and eat them directly.

Jiang Zuo didn’t know how many people were aware of this, but it was impossible that no one knew, since the Celestial Star Descent had occurred more than once.

Before long, Jiang Zuo and his group saw it: a lonely, solitary planet.

This planet was at the end of the Reverse Star River, looking as if it had rested there silently for countless years.

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "There’s nothing here but a single planet."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator shook his head. "Not necessarily. It’s possible that from our position on the Star River Road, we can only see the final destination."

Jiang Zuo remembered that there were other planets nearby. Although they were far away, there were still things like suns.

Of course, none of that mattered.

They quickly approached the Celestial Star, finally stepping out of the Reverse Star River and onto its surface.

The moment they set foot on the soil of the Celestial Star, they could no longer sense any Spiritual Qi.

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator frowned. "There’s no Spiritual Qi here."

Jiang Zuo said, "Here, apart from the things that grow from the soil, nothing else usually has Spiritual Qi."

Chi Xue Child looked at the barren wasteland around them and asked, "Is it easy to find any grass here?"

Jiang Zuo said, "It’ll be easy once we get inside."

The exterior of the Celestial Star was basically a barren wasteland with very little life.

Jiang Zuo then headed toward a large mountain in front of them. The entrance to the Celestial Star Cave Mansion was there, and any normal person should be able to see it.

After all, a stone statue of a middle-aged man was carved into the mountain ahead.

That man was probably the master of the Celestial Star Cave Mansion.

Arriving before the mountain, they saw a gateway made of a Barrier. The gate didn’t seem to present any obstacle.

And that was indeed the case; there was no obstruction.

’If someone flew directly to the Celestial Star, could they also enter directly?’

’Or perhaps the gate only opens after the Celestial Star Descent.’

When Jiang Zuo had come here before, the gate’s mechanism was broken, so he had no way of knowing.

Then, the four of them walked in.

The moment he entered, Jiang Zuo found himself alone. This was not surprising, as this was how things were here.

The cave mansions of powerful figures, as long as they were left for posterity, usually had random teleportation.

Upon entering, Jiang Zuo took out Duan Qiao and Sweet Potato.

The first thing Jiang Zuo did was ask Duan Qiao, "Do you have a signal?"

Duan Qiao was about to answer immediately, but it suddenly froze, then closed its eyes and began to search.

This lasted for about ten minutes.

During this time, Jiang Zuo remained perfectly still, just waiting for Duan Qiao’s reply.

’He wasn’t an idiot. Interrupting Duan Qiao while it was trying to establish a connection would be the height of folly.’

Ten minutes later, Duan Qiao finally spoke. "I’ve caught it, but the space here is a bit chaotic. It’s mainly just too far."

Jiang Zuo asked, "Is the interference significant?"

Duan Qiao answered truthfully, "A little, but we can definitely still talk normally."

In truth, Duan Qiao was very nervous. It hadn’t expected to be this far away. If not for its inherent Talent and the recent recovery of some of its abilities, it definitely wouldn’t have been able to catch a signal.

’If I can’t even act as a signal tower, what use am I?’

’The thought alone was terrifying.’

Jiang Zuo nodded without saying anything. ’It seems Duan Qiao is still a decent signal tower after all.’

Jiang Zuo’s current location was a Stone Forest. Within the Stone Forest were countless stone steles, on which many patterns were carved.

Some depicted Breathing Skills, some showed Casting Techniques, and others even displayed Divine Abilities.

All in all, this place could barely be considered a land of inheritance. As long as one chose correctly, the Cultivation Techniques recorded here were sufficient for even Tier Seven or Tier Eight Cultivators.

Some Magic could even be used up to Tier Nine. Of course, you could count the number of such spells on one hand.

What was more unfortunate was that Jiang Zuo had no interest in any of these things.

’What a load of junk.’

’To him, everything here was just common fare, as ordinary as could be.’

’It was all on the same level as the Cultivation Technique Su Qi practiced.’

Jiang Zuo took out a coin. Knowing the general direction, he began to travel quickly. Although he didn’t know which region his final destination was in, the fact that he could divine it meant that he could truly find the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique—and its origin—here.

Others might value the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique more, but Jiang Zuo cared about its origin.

However, in his previous life, he had never found the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique here.

’What did I do after obtaining the Immortal Mansion in my previous life?’

’I took everything inside that was beneficial to my Cultivation and used it all to raise my Cultivation.’

’Later, I wanted to raise some Spirit Medicines and Spirit Beasts.’

’But during a massive battle, I had no choice but to detonate the Celestial Star Cave Mansion.’

’Not only did I obliterate my enemies that time, but I also absorbed the Celestial Star Core that it had accumulated inside.’

’Although it was a near-death experience, my Cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.’

’And just like that, the Celestial Star Cave Mansion was gone before I even had a chance to explore it thoroughly.’

’However, if the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique, which is beneficial to Cultivation, had been there, I definitely would have taken it. I should have also gotten the Celestial God Flower.’

’But those things just weren’t there at the time.’

’They must have been taken by someone when it opened this time.’

’Thinking about it carefully, the one who took the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique was most likely that woman from last time. After all, in my previous life, she was the only one who practiced it, and she even reached the stage of Great Success.’

As for the Celestial God Flower, Jiang Zuo had no leads.

As his thoughts churned, Jiang Zuo arrived at an area with a particularly dense concentration of stone steles.

This was the result divined by the coin—the closest location.

The stone steles here seemed to form a circle, and the only apparent normal entrance was the way Jiang Zuo had come in.

Jiang Zuo began to examine the steles. There were words and patterns on them, but just as he was about to give them a quick scan, a bright light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

When Jiang Zuo saw this light, the light clearly saw him too. Without a moment’s hesitation, it fled.

"Trying to run?" Jiang Zuo took out his Array Stones. One hundred and eight Array Stones flew out and began to pursue the light.

However, just as they were about to capture it, a stone pillar suddenly erupted from the ground, blocking the Array Stones’ assault.

Jiang Zuo wasn’t in a hurry. He controlled the Array Stones to continue the pursuit.

But just as he was about to exert control, he frowned and leaped away from his spot.

In the next instant, a stone pillar shot out from where he had just been standing.

Soon, several more stone pillars flew toward Jiang Zuo. After he dodged them all, the stone steles that had formed a semi-circle now completely enclosed the area.

The light, naturally, had already escaped.

"Pretty fast." Shaking his head, Jiang Zuo paid it no mind and began to examine the steles.
