Bi Changchun's gaze lingered on the slanting sun for a moment before he remembered that the boy had entered a meditative state and it was unknown when he would wake up. He was afraid that the boy would not think of the Deficient Flame Mysterious Fruit for the time being, so it seemed that he would have to do it himself.
After idling away for so long, it's rare to have this kind of luck when I finally calm down! Bi Changchun glanced at Yue Qianchou, shook his head and smiled bitterly again, then flashed into the garden where the Deficient Flame Mysterious Fruit was planted, took out Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and started working...
Yue Qianchou was unaware that his state was a rare and precious state that even Bi Changchun envied. For him, as long as he was willing to calm his mind, this state should appear at any time, just like when he comprehended the Star Flame Fire Art last time.
In fact, as Bi Changchun suspected, there might indeed be an element of fate involved, or perhaps luck. The golden bead, whose name neither Bai Suzhen nor Yue Qianchou knew, if Bi Changchun were to learn of its mysterious effects, he could immediately recount its origin: this object was the "Star Pearl," the one that sparked the High Antiquity war in the Cultivation World, and indeed, it was more than just Cultivation World ...
Bi Changchun, the Punishment Envoy of the Demon Ghost Domain, also knows other secrets. In the High Antiquity war Cultivation World, many experts from the immortal realm risked divine punishment and the danger of never being reborn or reincarnated to come to the mortal world to fight for this "Star Pearl".
Back then, this world was a place where humans, demons, and ghosts coexisted. The three types of beings adhered to their own rules and generally did not openly offend each other. They each cultivated their own paths, and eventually, one would become an immortal and the other would become an immortal. However, a group of powerful people, for the sake of a bead, turned this world into chaos, and the rules that humans, demons, and ghosts adhered to became utter nonsense.
In short, the high-level power struggle dragged down those below, who, unaware of what was going on above, joined in the chaos, throwing the world into turmoil. Demons and ghosts roamed freely, and those uncultivated humans, with their flesh and blood, suffered the consequences. Just then, a remarkable figure appeared, luring a group of brawlers to a desolate continent in the east. There, he set up some kind of "Heaven and Earth Qiankun Grand Array," trapping the troublemakers. That place is now the ridiculous "Eastern Pole Sacred Land."
However, the powerful figure was severely injured in the process by a group of thugs. Before dying, he unleashed his power once more, forcibly driving most of the demons and ghosts to another barren land. Being near death, he lacked the strength to perform any more powerful spells or formations, so he simply used a magical artifact to make do. In the absence of a powerful figure, the powerful figure chose one of the remaining, reasonably skilled individuals to be the Punishment Envoy, meaning that if any demons or ghosts disobeyed, the executioner could use torture on them. This is the origin of the Demon Ghost Domain, which is why Bi Changchun, as the Punishment Envoy, knew that the golden bead was called the "Star Pearl."
The vast universe, eternally existing, bestowed a pearl by the primordial chaos, which grants one godhood.
A legend passed down through generations of Punishment Envoy in the Demon Ghost Domain says that whoever obtains and controls the "Star Pearl" can become a god who rules over a region—a being even higher than an immortal, someone who can be restrained by nothing except the Great Dao Primordial Chaos. Therefore, such a powerful item naturally couldn't be contained even by the experts of the Immortal Realm, so they came to the mortal world to cause trouble. Unfortunately, this large group was dealt with by a single, formidable figure.
If Yue Qianchou knew he possessed such a thing, he would be ecstatic. Fortunately, he didn't know. However, he wasn't stupid. Even if he didn't know, he still treated the Golden Pearl as his most prized possession. Apart from Bai Suzhen, who already knew, no one else could probably get the information out of him even if they beat him to death. He was increasingly appreciating the benefits of the Golden Pearl, so he decided to keep it all to himself for the rest of his life.
This explains why Yue Qianchou was able to enter a state that even Bi Changchun envied so easily. Having been possessed by the "Star Pearl," understanding the movement of the stars was as easy as finding something in one's own home compared to others—far more effortless.
Immersed in the jade seed, Yue Qianchou had no idea how much time had passed. His Divine Sense was filled with the ever-changing trajectories of the stars, and he racked his brains trying to transform them into a cultivation Method Formula. Because of his accidental experience of comprehending the Star Flame Fire Art, the star map woven from countless stars was slowly merging and becoming clearer...
Bi Changchun finished replenishing the Spirit Stone Deficient Flame Mysterious Fruit, a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he instantly appeared beside Yue Qianchou. He saw that Yue Qianchou, who had been sitting casually, was now sitting cross-legged properly, with a gratified smile on his face, looking as if he had finally figured it out.
He's figured it out! It's only been a little over a day! Bi Changchun is an experienced person, and he could tell at a glance. His expression twitched slightly, and he could also see that Yue Qianchou was obviously still in a state of enlightenment and had not yet awakened. Everything he was doing now was like a dream.
Bi Changchun's gaze fell on the jade tablet that had fallen to the ground. He raised his hand and drew it into his palm, channeling his Divine Sense into it. It was filled with a jumble of seemingly random, densely packed points of light—who knew what they were? But Bi Changchun had a gut feeling that Yue Qianchou's entry into the realm of immortality might be related to this object, so he patiently examined it, hoping to discover something.
One sat, the other stood, and another day passed by unnoticed. Dawn broke again, Bi Changchun slowly opened his eyes, shaking his head with a wry smile. He had intruded on the other's privacy without permission, which was already unacceptable for someone of his status, even though the person was his disciple. Unfortunately, despite his shamelessness, he hadn't been able to figure out what was inside; the countless points of light were truly impossible to identify.
In truth, even a deity wouldn't understand these markings, let alone him. These were marks of the countless stars that Yue Qianchou had hastily jotted down. To be precise, they were markings of the Five Directions Star Dou, missing the southern constellation. Since they were incomplete, and Yue Qianchou had created them for his own eyes, it was like someone writing illegibly—only the writer could decipher them.
The jade tablets contain such mysterious and unfathomable things that even immortals cannot understand, let alone Bi Changchun, despite his profound cultivation.
Bi Changchun regretfully and quietly put the jade tablet back in its original place. He felt guilty for doing something wrong and thought to himself, "I will make it up to you in the future!"
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed something was wrong. He looked around but couldn't see anything, so he immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate. He saw Yue Qianchou tiny, crystalline bright spots, barely visible to the naked eye, surging onto the surface of the lake in front of him. These bright spots were like happy little elves, dancing joyfully around Yue Qianchou 'Yue Qianchou body, and finally entering through his pores.
What is this thing? Could it be an external evil invading the body? Bi Changchun was shocked. He still had many questions to ask this disciple. He couldn't afford to have anything go wrong at this time. He immediately raised his hand with a solemn expression, intending to use his profound cultivation to drive away this unknown little thing.
But in the end, he didn't make a move, stopped by the satisfied expression on Yue Qianchou's face.
External pathogens invading the body should cause pain, not comfort. The experienced Bi Changchun did not make a rash decision, but carefully acted as Yue Qianchou's protector, ready to intervene and save him whenever something went wrong.
Standing beside Yue Qianchou, one could feel the air growing increasingly humid, so damp it seemed one could squeeze water out of it. A faint, ethereal transparency began to envelop Yue Qianchou, until he transformed into a clear, translucent liquid. Bi Changchun breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had worried unnecessarily. This kid seemed to have mastered some kind of profound Law Technique. Looking at the blazing sun high in the sky, he smiled wryly again, and Bi Changchun teleported to the garden of the Deficient Flame Mysterious Fruit...
