Revisiting an Old Haunt: The Black Star Realm!

Laugh!

The blood-red blade flashed, slicing through the surging Blackwater.

A scream seemed to come from within, followed by the sight of two willow branches being swept out by the undercurrent. The willow Ye'er emerald green, and even broken in two, one could still feel the powerful vitality contained within them.

With a single strike, the enemy was beheaded by the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Saber.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Lu Qingfeng's legs felt unsteady, his body staggered, and his face was deathly pale. But upon seeing the two willow branches, a smile appeared on his face.

He turned and put the divine sword away.

Reaching out to grasp, the two willow branches, as large as mountains, instantly shrank to the size of a palm and landed in my hand. With a thought, I connected with the life force within them.

It guides and nourishes the physical body and the spirit.

In an instant.

The damage to his soul caused by the Red-Haired Ancestor gradually healed, and his physical body and Primordial Spirit, which were almost torn apart by the use of the 'Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Saber', were also nourished.

I immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

The injuries that had been aroused, not yet fully healed, and even recurred due to the use of the divine blade, were gradually suppressed and healed under this boundless vitality.

Following this trend...

Lu Qingfeng's injuries, which would normally take hundreds of years to fully heal even with his six senses sealed and focused on recovery, could probably be cured in just a few years.

"Earth Immortal Willow Spirit".

"It is a first-class treasure in itself."

Lu Qingfeng praised in his heart.

The vitality of a willow tree lies primarily in its root system.

Lu Qingfeng grabbed the tree crown and threw the root half out, which landed right on the back of the Six Wings.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Golden Silkworm flapped its Six Wings, and although most of its ferocious aura had dissipated, it was still astonishing. Its bloodlust was difficult to suppress; even ordinary True Immortal who came here might have their minds overwhelmed by this ferocious aura and bloodlust, and thus fall into the Demon Dao.

"Well!"

Lu Qingfeng reached out and placed his hand on Six Wings's head. Seeing Six Wings struggling painfully to suppress his violent aura and bloodlust, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

After the battle at Redwood Ridge of Nine Netherworlds Buiting Mountain, he suffered a blow from the Red-Haired Ancestor, which severely damaged his soul. Before falling into a coma, he used the "Dutian Demon God Blood-Transforming Flight Technique" to escape into Shaohe Abyss.

He then lost consciousness.

Fortunately, the Six Wings protected him and carried him out of Shaohe Abyss. They plunged into the Blackwater and escaped the pursuit of the Red-Haired Ancestor.

For thousands of years.

Without any bumps, Lu Qingfeng continued to close his six senses to recover from the trauma to his soul.

Six Wings Shaohe Abyss, traversing the Blackwater against the current, while simultaneously maintaining the "Iceheart Formula" to suppress his malevolent energy. This hindered his ability to unleash his full power and even affected his mind. In order to protect him, he encountered countless powerful enemies along the way, sustaining numerous injuries.

After the battle with Willow Immortal, his vitality was further diminished.

If it weren't for the 'Six-Winged Golden Silkworm's' formidable strength, it would probably have long since been exhausted and dying.

Looking at the Six Wings, Lu Qingfeng felt a pang of tenderness in his eyes.

Do not rush to recite the Iceheart Formula.

Lu Qingfeng gently stroked the top of the Six Wings head and said in a gentle voice, "This Willow Immortal has already cultivated to the Earth Immortal Pinnacle and contains boundless vitality. If you refine half of its body, the lost vitality and all its injuries can be restored."

"Take good care of yourself."

"Leave the road ahead to your master."

With its Six Wings and bloodshot eyes, and a palpable aura of malevolence emanating from it, it was unclear whether it could hear Lu Qingfeng's words.

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Sit cross-legged on the spot, keeping one hand on the top of your head, and silently recite the "Iceheart Formula" in your mind.

Time flows on.

Three full days have passed.

The malevolent aura surrounding the Six Wings creature finally seeped into its body, and although it was not resolved, it was temporarily suppressed.

Lu Qingfeng then stood up and opened his sleeves towards Six Wings.

The Six Wings seemed delighted. It first circled Lu Qingfeng three times, then transformed into a Golden Light and disappeared into his sleeve, where it quietly went to recuperate.

Lu Qingfeng stood still, glancing at the dark current where Willow Immortal had ambushed him. His eyes gleamed with Radiance, peering through the Blackwater into the depths of the dark current. There, a spatial rift led to an unknown place, where a lush willow grove appeared vibrant with life, but in reality, it was a place teeming with murderous intent.

"Willow trees are inherently resilient; they can survive even from a single branch."

"Not to mention the willow tree spirit that has cultivated into Earth Immortal."

"Therefore, this Willow Immortal has many clones. His main body is hidden in the forest, and he uses his clones to hunt in the Blackwater. If he is not strong enough, he will lure the enemy deep into the forest and trap them there. Even if Earth Immortal of the same level, they will suffer."

Lu Qingfeng saw through Willow Immortal's scheme at a glance. The one he had just killed was merely an avatar of Willow Immortal. "There are many avatars, and they are not easy to provoke. I will spare his life for now."

The Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Saber contains boundless ferocity, and given his current state and cultivation level, it is not advisable for him to use it frequently.

A thought arose in my mind.

Lu Qingfeng did not stay here.

The Golden Light from the sleeve was faint. Lu Qingfeng understood and immediately continued forward in the direction that the Six Wings creature had just been moving against the current.

In the blink of an eye.

No trace of them.

Willow Immortal Realm.

Stretching across the land, willow trees grew in abundance. Among them sat a young man, his long hair flowing, his face somewhat pale. He sat cross-legged atop a tree canopy, gazing up at the distant horizon, a hint of lingering fear on his face. "That demonic blade—"

Although this clone only possessed a third of his power, it was still at the peak of the Earth Immortal Pinnacle level within the Blackwater. It rarely failed in hunting powerful enemies. But three days ago, such a clone was annihilated with a single strike, not even its inner spirit escaped. How could this not be terrifying?!

"The Demon Blade".

"Six-Winged Golden Silkworm".

"And that boy—"

On the young man's pale face, amidst lingering fear and shock, lay greed and regret.

What they coveted was the invincible Demon Dao and the ancient ferocious beast that had cultivated to the level of an Earth Immortal— a rare sight indeed. Unfortunately, the young man wielding the demonic blade was far too ferocious and not to be trifled with.

I'm determined to catch up.

However, considering the dangers of the Blackwater and the power of the Demon Blade, the young man shook his head in the end, only muttering "what a pity" to himself. Without moving, a willow tree that could block out the sky and Heaven-Shrouding the void rose from the ground and crashed into the Blackwater.

Its roots spread, taking hold in the dark, murky Blackwater.

Its branches and leaves are lush and dense, obscuring all vital energy.

They were simply repeating the same old trick, waiting for a new batch of prey to come to them.

The space between heaven and earth and the four directions is called "Yu" (宇), and the past and present are called "Zhou" (宙).

In High Antiquity, the Demon Dao ran rampant, wreaking havoc on the world. Venerable Nujuluo the Buddhist Sect and Yang Sen, Four Sages Grand Marshals of the Lingxiao Palace, discussed the Dao in the Black Star Realm, promoting both Buddhism and Daoism, and passing down the Daoist lineage of the Great Thunderclap Temple and the Daoist lineage of the Supreme Clarity Jiejiao on Nine Dragon Island.

From then on, Buddhism and Daoism flourished, while Demon Dao were abandoned.

A thousand years later, the immortals and Buddhas have departed, and the Demon Dao has risen again.

The struggle between Buddhism, Daoism, and Demonism intensified, ultimately shattering a realm, causing the earth to curl up, transforming into stars, and evolving into a starry universe.

From then on, eight or nine out of ten Spiritual Qi dissipated.

In the starry sky, Spiritual Qi has ceased to exist, except on the Spiritual Qi themselves. High Antiquity cultivators either ascended to heaven or departed, and the Black Star Realm gradually declined.

For countless years, the Black Star Realm has devoured the Chaos void, growing ever more boundless. Above the stars, immortal sects and great clans have risen, gradually stepping out of the stars and colliding and merging with each other.

Buddhism, Daoism, and demonism rose up again, battling against the stars.

"Black Star Realm".

"It's been a long time."

In the desolate starry sky, a young man tore through the void with his hands, revealing his figure.

It was Lu Qingfeng.

"Then."

"The Six Wings went from the Black Star Realm to the Southern Florescence Realm. They were relentlessly pursued in the Southern Florescence Realm and, in their panic, returned to the Black Star Realm, where they discovered the Blackwater. They then followed the Blackwater and escaped into the Nine Netherworlds."

As Lu Qingfeng gazed at the starry sky and the universe, images flashed through his mind.

These scenes were all seen when he met Six Wings and used the "Iceheart Formula" to help him dispel his resentment; they were fragments of Six Wings's memories over the years. Although incomplete and intermittent, his general circumstances and trajectory could still be discerned.

"Southern Florescence Realm".

"It should be the escape route explored by many immortal sects and cultivators after the Black Star Realm was shattered."

Lu Qingfeng, with his hands in his sleeves, did some calculations and his mind became roughly clear.

Similar to the relationship between the Five Directions Realm and the Heavenly Shaman Realm.

The relationship Southern Florescence Realm and the Black Star Realm is similar.

"Lin Feng and his three companions are in the Southern Florescence Realm."

"But--"

Lu Qingfeng paused, then looked into the depths of the starry sky. This starry sky was both strange and familiar. Back then, when he had no path to cultivation, Lu Qingfeng traveled through the starry sky with his Six Wings, searching for a way out.

For a full three thousand years.

The scene from that time is still vivid in my mind.

I pulled myself back to reality.

"Let's see how the Black Star Realm will be different 120,000 years from now."

Lu Qingfeng flicked his sleeve, sending a cloud of dust falling from it. With a single step, the starry sky instantly transformed.

Approximately 200,000 years ago.

The evolution of the Black Star Realm has stabilized, and Spiritual Qi has gradually revived, beginning with the stars. Over the past two hundred thousand years, Spiritual Qi has gradually become more abundant, and even in the starry sky, Spiritual Qi can be found, providing a means for cultivation.

Spiritual Qi is reviving.

Position restoration.

The Black Star Realm, once a cultivation wasteland where even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could hardly achieve enlightenment 200,000 years ago, has evolved over time to the point that by 120,000 years ago, some individual stars had cultivators who could achieve True Person.

At that time.

The Golden Core represents the ultimate goal.

Another ten thousand years passed, and finally, a Primordial Spirit was born in a first-class star-spirited land.

The Spiritual Qi is becoming increasingly abundant.

Seventy thousand years ago, after the Great Destruction of the Black Star Realm, on Maple Moon Star, one of the nine celestial stars of the revival era, an ancestor of a celestial sect cultivated to become the first Mahayana True Immortal.

From then on, the Black Star Realm's status was mostly restored, gradually attracting the attention of the Southern Florescence Realm.

However, they were still in the exploratory stage.

Then came the ferocious beast, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, which destroyed the black hole at the center of the Black Star Realm, severing all communication between the two realms. Only today have cultivators been able to travel between the Black Star and Southern Splendor Realms on a small scale, either by following the Blackwater, using Ancient Teleportation Array, or through space-time rifts.

As exchanges between the two sides become more frequent, conflicts of interest arise, giving rise to signs of chaos.

War.

Or it may be very close.

The stars twinkled faintly.

Amidst the scattered points of light, there was only desolate darkness and deathly silence. In the silence, a figure pierced through the darkness and landed beyond the vast star.

The stars stretch endlessly.

Lu Qingfeng was extremely far away, and could barely make out the general outline. His eyes flashed with Radiance, and he could even see the distribution within the stars—

Dozens of continents, large and small, are separated by sea. Countless islands dot the sea. Both the land and the islands are teeming with Spirit Birth, creating a vibrant and thriving landscape.

"Spiritual Qi is reviving."

"This Maple Moon Star is much larger than it was 120,000 years ago."

Standing in the starry sky, Lu Qingfeng looked at Maple Moon Star, which seemed close at hand but was actually extremely far away. Returning to this familiar place, countless emotions welled up in his heart.

Back in the day.

When he first arrived on Maple Moon Star, there were only eleven continents on the planet. Now, there are as many as thirty-nine. Each continent is far larger than it was back then.

It is undoubtedly a top-tier star holy land in the Black Star Realm.

"120,000 years ago, there were very few stars in the Black Star Realm that could cultivate to the Golden Core True Person. Maple Moon Star was one of them. Back then, it was one of the top stars in the Black Star Realm."

"It still is."

Lu Qingfeng smiled.

His gaze shifted, looking towards the distance to one side. There, next to Maple Moon Star, was a smaller star, which had also expanded considerably.

The Spirit Birth inside is countless.

Times change and the world changes.

If not for Great Divine Ability, even Lu Qingfeng would probably find it difficult to recognize that this star was actually the 'Polarity Star' where he first arrived in the Black Star Realm in his two lifetimes.

"The Polarity Star are inferior to the Maple Moon Star in many ways."

"Even now, at most one can only cultivate to the Primordial Spirit True One. It is extremely difficult to cultivate to the True Immortal. If one wants to make further progress, one must go to Maple Moon Star to cultivate."

Things are different now than they used to be.

Lu Qingfeng's eyes had seen it all; understanding the vast star system was nothing to him. Even back then, it took him four years, even with the aid of a fifth-tier 'Cosmic Void Ship,' to cross the Polarity Star and Maple Moon Star, but now it was only a step away for Lu Qingfeng.

Twelve thousand years have passed.

The Black Star Realm has undergone tremendous changes, but Lu Qingfeng has grown even more.

Polarity Star.

Maple Moon Star.

Seeing this familiar place evoked a flood of emotions.

Looking around at the starry sky, most of the stars were empty and lifeless, but centered on Maple Moon Star, there were quite a few life-bearing stars in the vast star field. The cultivation levels were different, but most of them were closely related to Maple Moon Star.

"I didn't expect that."

"For 120,000 years, the Guangyuan Immortal Sect has still been able to stand firm."

Lu Qingfeng surveyed the surrounding stars, a strange light flashing in his eyes, before finally settling on Maple Moon Star. Without lingering in the starry sky, he took a step and arrived on Maple Moon Star—

Luo Jia Immortal Mountain!
