Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 121 - 117 Immortal Spirit Soldier

When Wang Xu opened his eyes again, he found himself in a familiar scene, Bailan’s Central Control Room.

"Master, you’re finally awake!" Celestial Spirit floated over, patting her chest with relief.

Wang Xu touched his chest, where there was a finger-width hole in his clothes, the place previously wounded by Tuba had already healed and scabbed over.

"Master, what exactly happened to you? It was really dangerous just now, the wound was only a millimeter away from your heart. Any closer and you would’ve died!" Celestial Spirit said worriedly.

Wang Xu smiled, "Did encounter some trouble, but it’s nothing."

Then, Wang Xu’s face turned solemn: "Unfortunately, this trip to the Ice Crystal Realm didn’t manage to bring back the mineral materials to repair Bailan."

"As long as you’re okay, the repairs for Bailan can take their time," Celestial Spirit reassured him.

Wang Xu laughed, "Celestial Spirit, your thoughts are becoming more and more human-like."

"Hehe, Celestial Spirit is an advanced intelligent system, already possessing the thinking intelligence of common beings," Celestial Spirit giggled sweetly.

"By the way, this trip to the Ice Crystal Realm wasn’t entirely fruitless; I did get a treasure." Wang Xu suddenly remembered the Bronze Bow he had fought desperately to acquire.

Wang Xu waved his hand.

Whooosh, a pile of giant debris suddenly gathered on the side.

Wham~

Suddenly, a vast spiritual pressure spread out abruptly, and Wang Xu, caught off guard, staggered back two steps. He quickly countered with his spiritual consciousness, dissolving the immense spiritual pressure.

Celestial Spirit, being a virtual being like a stone, wasn’t affected at all by the spiritual pressure.

Wang Xu stepped forward and picked up the crescent-like, white smoke-entwined, faintly glowing Bronze Bow from the rubble.

"Celestial Spirit, can you discern the origin of this Bronze Bow?" Wang Xu asked after examining it closely for a moment.

But Celestial Spirit floated towards the pile of Outer Heaven meteorite debris, her eyes sparkling.

"Master, you said there was no mineral material, but these are all Companion Divine Stones of Immortal Divine Soldier!" Celestial Spirit’s small face blushed with excitement.

"Companion Divine Stones... So this Bronze Bow is an Immortal Divine Soldier?" Wang Xu realized, feeling a bit disappointed.

Wang Xu had seen Immortal Divine Soldiers before; there were three among the treasures left by Xian Qu, but none of them were usable for him.

Was it really worth Tuba and the Ice Crystal King, He Luo, fighting so fiercely for such an Immortal Divine Soldier?

Celestial Spirit seemed to see through Wang Xu’s thoughts and floated over to say, "Master, this Bronze Bow is not just an Immortal Divine Soldier, but a rare item among them!"

"What rare item?" Wang Xu inquired.

"Ordinary Star Spiritual Treasures are for Star Level and Void Level Martial Artists, Void Warriors are for Void Level and Black Hole Level Martial Artists, and Immortal Divine Soldiers are for Black Hole Level, White Hole Level, and Mixed Universe Realm Cosmic Martial Artists."

"General Warrior Treasures can be used by any Cosmic Martial Artist as long as they can wield them, without any special requirements, but this Bronze Bow in your hand is different; it is tailor-made for Cosmic Spirits!" Celestial Spirit explained earnestly.

"Tailor-made for Cosmic Spirits, so this means the attack method of this Bronze Bow is spiritual consciousness?" Wang Xu asked.

"That’s correct, this type of weapon is called ’Immortal Spirit Soldier’ in the cosmos, and only Cosmic Spirits can use it," Celestial Spirit said. "Immortal Spirit Soldiers are so rare that among ten thousand Immortal Divine Soldiers, you might not find even one. Getting it is indeed a great fortune for you!"

Wang Xu’s eyes sparkled, realizing how precious this Bronze Bow was.

"Alright, let me try your power." Wang Xu exerted himself to pull the Bronze Bow, but the bowstring didn’t budge!

"Master, this is a weapon for Cosmic Spirits, an Immortal Spirit Soldier; you must use spiritual consciousness to drive it," Celestial Spirit reminded.

Wang Xu nodded, and with a thought, his spiritual consciousness enveloped the Bronze Bow. The Bronze Bow, upon sensing Wang Xu’s spiritual consciousness, suddenly generated an attraction, absorbing his spiritual consciousness.

"Spiritual consciousness arrow!" Wang Xu was surprised to find a slowly emerging arrow, seemingly cast of bronze, with vivid, fierce exotic beasts etched on it, as if they were roaring.

"Go!" Wang Xu pulled the Bronze Bow to a full circle, his face turning pale. The Bronze Arrow trembled, and upon release, it shot out like a streak of black light, piercing directly through Bailan with a small three-finger-sized hole suddenly appearing.

Normally, spiritual consciousness cannot affect physical objects. However, when concentrated to a certain strength, like what Wang Xu did, gathering massive spiritual consciousness into a Bronze Arrow, it could impact physical objects.

The Bronze Arrow whizzed through Bailan and flew off into the distance, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Wang Xu was drenched in sweat; firing a Bronze Arrow was a huge load on his current spiritual consciousness. At that level of strength, he could only shoot two arrows at most, unable to gather more.

Nevertheless, Wang Xu’s eyes were exceptionally bright.

He had discovered his greatest ace—the Bronze Bow!

The power of the Bronze Arrow was unknown to him, but the power of something formed from an Immortal Divine Soldier was unlikely to be weak. If one day he faced foes like Tuba again, he could use the Bronze Bow to rapidly break down and collapse their spiritual consciousness!

Ordinary Cosmic Martial Artists usually don’t have very strong spiritual consciousness; Wang Xu, though being Star Level, could use his spiritual consciousness to affect a Black Hole Level like Tuba. And for this all-out attack, even if Tuba came back, his spiritual consciousness might just collapse, turning him into a complete idiot!

"Unless absolutely necessary, it must not be exposed." The Bronze Bow is powerful, but its only drawback is its terrifying consumption of spiritual consciousness. If faced with an ambush, or if one strike can’t take out the enemy, Wang Xu would have to accept his fate."

Putting away the Bronze Bow, Wang Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the rubble on the ground, and asked, "Celestial Spirit, you just said these fragments are the Companion Divine Stones of the Immortal Divine Soldier. If we use all of them, can we repair the Bailan?"

"Of course!" Celestial Spirit replied, "With so many Companion Divine Stones, it’s enough to elevate the Bailan to Palace Level! It’s just a pity that I am not skilled in warship manufacturing, only in general repair methods."

"Alright, I’ll leave these Companion Divine Stones to you. Use as many as you need to repair the Bailan," Wang Xu said.

"I guarantee the task will be completed!" Celestial Spirit gave a sweet smile and waved her hand, collecting all the Companion Divine Stones.

......

In a remote corner of Earth, a simple wooden cabin was built over the jungle marsh.

"...I barely escaped with my life from the Ice Crystal Realm." In front of a sandalwood table, Wang Xu raised a cup of tea and sighed with emotion.

Sitting opposite, Luo shook his head with a bitter smile, "You have a tenacious life. If someone said you died, I wouldn’t believe it."

"Hehe," Wang Xu laughed.

"What’s your plan next?" Luo brewed a pot of tea and asked.

Wang Xu pondered for a moment, drank the tea in his hand in one go, causing Luo to shake his head repeatedly.

"I want to leave Earth," Wang Xu stated.

"For how long?" Luo asked calmly, without a hint of surprise.

"Quickly, one or two years; slowly, I can’t say for sure. But I have a feeling that this journey might not be short," Wang Xu took a deep breath, "While I’m gone, I entrust Earth to you, brother Luo."

Luo nodded, "Go ahead. I hope to see the day you return."

After that, the two chatted for a bit more, and Wang Xu bid farewell, soaring away.

......

"What? You’re going to leave Earth again?!" At the dinner table, upon hearing Wang Xu’s words, Wang Zhenguo immediately started shaking his head like a rattle drum, "No, I absolutely disagree."

The last time Wang Xu left, the father and son nearly parted forever, and Wang Zhenguo was unwilling to experience that kind of despair again, firmly opposing as he did.

"Xu’Er, isn’t it the same if you cultivate on Earth? Why go to an alien planet where it’s too dangerous," his mother Lin Hui expressed her concern.

"Brother, I support you," Wang Jun was for Wang Xu, only to get smacked on the back of his head by Wang Zhenguo.

Tang Yan didn’t say a word, burying her head in her food, clearly not wanting Wang Xu to leave either.

Wang Xu sighed, "Dad, there are too many strong beings in the cosmos. Your son is the strongest on Earth, but in the universe, there are many who could crush me with just a finger. If aliens invade again one day, without strength, how will I protect Earth, protect you?"

Wang Zhenguo wanted to say something, but recalling the time of the Doma Race invasion, the catastrophic disaster the whole world faced, and humanity nearly driven to the brink of extinction, he stopped.

That despair, that fear, and the hellish situation on Earth, Wang Zhenguo did not want to experience a second time.

Wang Zhenguo had personal desires too, wanting Wang Xu to stay beside him, to see a large family, everyone happy together, but he understood that Wang Xu was not just a member of the Wang family but also the guardian of humanity.

If Wang Xu fell, Earth’s destruction wouldn’t be far off either.

After a long silence, Wang Zhenguo took a deep breath, as if aging ten years in an instant, "Alright, then how long do you plan to leave?"

"Shortest, one or two years; longest... I can’t guarantee," Wang Xu replied.

In the end, the family all agreed to Wang Xu’s request to leave.

At night, under the starry sky, Tang Yan lay on the balcony, lonely watching the stars above.

"Honey, don’t be angry." Wang Xu hugged Tang Yan gently from behind, smiling softly, "I promise, I will be back soon."

Tang Yan’s eyes turned red, tears falling like broken beads. She turned and clung tightly to Wang Xu’s chest, grasping him with all her strength, as if he would disappear if she let go.

"Wang Xu, promise me, you’ll come back, okay?" Tang Yan whimpered softly.

Wang Xu gently patted Tang Yan’s back, "I promise you, I will come back."

"You’ll be out there for so long, surely you’ll meet many women prettier than me, richer, and who like you. You must promise me not to get involved with them, not even hold hands!" Tang Yan raised her head, pouting.

Wang Xu caressed Tang Yan’s hair, smiling, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t. In my heart, you’re the most beautiful, no one can compare to you!"

"Pinky swear!" Tang Yan extended her pinky finger.

"Pinky swear." Wang Xu extended his pinky finger too, and the two sealed the pact.
