Fishing the Myriad Heavens-Chapter 495 - Star Palace!

Using only a short period of 10 years, the City Lord of the Sky City rose from the First Layer of the Hundred Year realm to the Thousand Year King realm! The speed of his growth was extremely shocking—countless people were stunned speechless!

And after so many years, he’d already reached the advanced middle stages of the Thousand Year realm. As for the peers who’d surpassed him early on, most of them were still stuck in the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm!

Late bloomers did exist, but they were very rare. It was more common for people to be strong all the way, and remain undefeated among their peers as they broke into the Thousand Year King realm!

Of course, with a larger forest, there would be more species of birds. For example, there was a weakling who was defeated countless times by everyone. But in the end, by simply cultivating bit by bit, he actually managed to break through to the Thousand Year King realm as well.

There wasn’t such a thing as impossible in cultivation. So when everyone saw the old family head breaking through, although they were extremely shocked about the inconceivabilility of the matter, they quickly tossed the matter to the back of their heads.

As people who’d been taken in by the Lu Family, everyone had been branded with the Lu Family mark when they were young. Even if they wished to turn traitor, no other powers would dare to hire them. Because they had been raised by the Lu Family, other powers would be wary of them. Besides, if a person could betray the family who raised them, what was there to stop them from betraying whomever took them in as well? Thus, unless they were heaven-defying geniuses, no one would dare to take any runaways in.

While Lu Bu and the rest were quite talented in cultivation, they were only at the level of normal geniuses—not enough for other powers to poach them.

Right now, they were locusts on the same rope as the Lu Family. The stronger the Lu Family grew, the better it was for them.

Bei Feng had taken note of Lu Bu and the rests’ actions over the past few months, and he approved of them internally. As people who were raised by the Lu Family, their loyalty did not need to be questioned. However, Bei Feng did not wish to impart his skills to others so soon.

‘Wait a little more; when I’ve achieved an initial mastery of my Yin-Yang legacy, we can begin my plan,’ Bei Feng thought silently.

The hearts of men were easily susceptible to change. Bei Feng did not wish to gamble, especially when he was still too weak.

The benefits of having his own powerful organization were many. Bei Feng also understood that if he had to do everything himself, he would be wasting too much of his precious cultivation time.

After breaking through successfully, Bei Feng began to focus his time on comprehending the Yin-Yang legacy. With just a step more, he would gain an initial understanding on it.

At this time, Bei Feng was sitting at the peak of a mountain and gazing up at the countless stars in the sky. But if one observed carefully, they would find that Bei Feng’s gaze was blank and unfocused.

The most basic point of entry into the Yin-Yang legacy was to light up the star palace. By copying the stars’ projection into the star palace, and repeating it constantly, one could form their own constellation.

Inside Bei Feng’s sea of consciousness, a veil of mist had been torn apart, and countless wisps of mental power had congealed together to form a small star palace not even three meters tall.

Although the star palace was small, it was complete. With Bei Feng’s mental power guiding the construction, it began to take form quickly.

As the star palace took form, Bei Feng’s mental power began to deplete rapidly. Like water pouring out of the flood gates, it continuously gushed into the star palace.

Bei Feng felt a feeling of intense weariness spreading through his entire body. This construction was too demanding on the mind and spirit, and there couldn’t be even the slightest mistake. If anything went wrong, the mental power construct would collapse, and he would need to recuperate for at least 10 days to recover it.

Bei Feng had actually failed many times already, but it was not without gains. At least, his control over his mental power had grown much more nimble as he tried to copy the stars into his star palace. His mental power had also grown slightly throughout this period.

Bei Feng’s mental power could envelop 800 meters around him originally, but in just three months’ time, the range had increased to 832 meters!

Although it was only an increase of 32 meters, it was already very good. Mental power was harder to cultivate in the later stages. At this point, Bei Feng was quite sure that when he finished constructing the star palace, his mental power would achieve another qualitative transformation.

Time slowly passed, and countless tiny beads of sweat appeared on Bei Feng’s face.

“Just a little bit more, form for me!”

Bei Feng’s soul cried out soundlessly as the mist in his sea of consciousness was torn apart. But in the next moment, the veil of mist flowed back again.

“Stellar energy, empower my body!”

Bei Feng squeezed out every ounce of his strength. His mental power was already drained, and this point was make or break.

With his mental power competely drained this time, the consequences of failure would be many times heavier than before. He would need to recuperate for several months to recover the mental power if it collapsed at this point. Or, in the worst case scenario, the quality of the mental power could even drop!

A violent whirlwind rose up around Bei Feng, and countless plumes of dust, branches, and leaves were stirred up into the air in a vortex.

Bei Feng’s body shook, and he suddenly felt like he’d left his current space. When he opened his eyes, his mouth dropped open, while a look of incredulity appeared on his face.

“How is this possible? Wasn’t I still in the gorge just now? Where is this?”

Bei Feng looked around him at the countless stars in the sky. He was currently suspended among the starry space, and his heart and mind were heavily impacted by the shock.

“Not good!”

A sharp, piercing pain jolted Bei Feng awake as his mind trembled, waking him. His mental power was completely sapped, and the shimmering star palace was beginning to crumble.

This phenomenon signified that the star palace was going to fall apart soon. Bei Feng did not dare to dally and began to use the technique in the Yin-Yang legacy.

The Yin-Yang legacy was not a technique to train blood and Qi, but to cultivate stellar energy!

As Bei Feng revolved the Yin-Yang technique, the major stars in the sky began to release wisps of multicolored stellar energy, which flowed into the star palace!

One round!

Two rounds!

Bei Feng had no idea how many times he’d revolved his energy along the Yin-Yang technique’s path. Countless amounts of stellar energy poured into his star palace without break.

The stellar energy of every star was different; some were violent, some gentle, some sharp, and some mysterious. Although only a wisp of energy was gathered from each star into his star palace, the number of stars was simply too many. It was to a point where all the stellar energy added together was enough to form an ocean!

Inside Bei Feng’s sea of consciousness, every wisp of stellar energy that flowed into the star palace would cause the star palce to grow more mystical and a hint more ancient in appearance.

At the same time, this star palace that had been constructed by Bei Feng’s mental power was becoming more and more solid. If what Bei Feng had created before could be said to be the architectural sketch, the stellar energy was the construction materials that continuously caused this star palace to grow more solid.

At this time, Bei Feng felt like he’d turned into a huge star in the vast space, experiencing the flow of countless years washing over him and watching the many vessisitudes of life.

“Ding! Ding!”

A sharp noise rang out, waking Bei Feng to his senses. The star palace had already formed, being three meters tall and six meters wide. It was now standing firmly in the middle of his sea of consiousness.

There was only one floor in the Star Palace which looked like the pedestal of a tower. On the slanting edges of the eight sides, there was a string of wind chimes. At this time, the wind chimes gently collided, creating a sharp clamor.

In Bei Feng’s ears, the tinkling sounds of the wind chimes sounded like the voice of his soul. As the chimes rang out continuously, it seemed to be playing out a soul-moving melody, causing Bei Feng’s spirit to feel incomparably comfortable.

Streams of black energy continuously flowed out of his soul and mental power. Following the clamor of the chimes, Bei Feng’s mental power and soul trembled, and began to shrink.

Unknowingly, the mental power that’d reached 1,000 meters wide shrank rapidly to 800 meters, 600 meters, 300 meters… until, finally, it was directly compressed to one meter’s area only!

But this was not the end. The mental power that’d shrunk to only one meter in size shook violently. Although it was much smaller now, the quality of this mental power had risen by an uncountable amount!

A tiny dot appeared in the middle of the mass of mental power, and following that, the mental power mass directly fell apart and collapsed into this one point!

A sesame seed-sized silver-white crystalline ball appeared on Bei Feng’s spirit hand. The crystalline material was multifaceted, and the mental energy contained inside it was several tens to a hundred times denser than before, vastly improving in quality!

Bei Feng’s soul had also shrunk from one chi to half chi tall. It was much more stangible than before, and the spatial energy that’d lingered on his soul after the accident had completely disappeared as well.

The wind chimes had stopped clanging an undeterminable time ago. A look of confusion flashed across Bei Feng’s eyes as he stared around him. The starry space had completely disappeared, and he was still inside the mountainous gorge.

In the eyes of Lu Bu and the rest, the entire space had suddenly tremored for a moment before resuming its calm. The earlier scene had not been caught by them at all.

Far away in space, countless light years away, a huge star was slowly rotating on the spot. On its surface, the shadow of another planet covered it entirely. Just the aura that the planet emanted created a pressure powerful enough to suppress the entire galaxy!

At this time on the humoungous planet, there was an incomparably large city. A gigantic altar spanning several million zhang stood in the center of the city, which seemed to be built around it as the heart.

The entire altar was made with countless precious materials. The amount of resources spent on its construction was extremely shocking, and could only be termed with the word: terrifying!

Eight Star God torches were placed on the altar, representing the eight principles of the Yin-Yang School. At this time, of the eight torches, one was unlit.

Over a hundred females were sitting cross-legged atop the altar. Each person was dressed in purple robes, a translucent veil wrapped over her face.

Looking at them closely, each girl’s face was constantly transforming, giving them an illusory look and a strange obscure beauty.

Countless streams of stellar energy poured in from all directions towards the huge stargazing altar, then into the girls’ bodies.

The Yin-Yang School was split into eight branches, and 100 people from each branch were allowed to enter the stargazing altar to cultivate. Many figures in black armor could be seen stationed all around the altar, and from their auras, every single one had extremely high levels of power.

In that moment, the Star God torch which had been snuffed out long ago suddenly burst to life. Following that, a burst of powerful stellar energy broke through the dense dark clouds above the altar. Beyond the dark clouds, one could even see the countless stars and planets beyond!

It was like the sky had a hole pierced through it. The sudden change instantly disrupted the flow of all kinds of stellar energy, causing them to turn chaotic. The numerous disciples who were cultivating spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

The stellar energy that’d suddenly appeared was extremely domineering and emanated a terrifying aura. Even from a large distance away, the pillar of energy was clearly visible!

Inside a seperate space in the stargazing altar, a woman opened her eyes. Through her eyes, one could see countless stars shining within!

“The third branch of our Yin-Yang School legacy has appeared.”

The woman’s full lips were pursed lightly and her voice was as cold as a fairy’s. Although most of her face was covered by a blue veil, one could see that she was a heaven-toppling beauty.

The woman’s mood seemed to have improved greatly in that moment as a faint smile appeared on her face as she closed her eyes again.

“Interesting, it seems that that person is too far away? No matter. As long as he constructs a stargazing altar, I will be able to contact him.”

The other leader of the Yin-Yang School was male, his face marked with azure patterns like an array of stars. The patterns blinked constantly, and his face seemed to change with it endlessly.
