Nine Stars in a Row

Lu Yang returned to Heaven Gate Peak, sat cross-legged on the giant rock shrouded in Sword Qi, opened his mouth to absorb Spiritual Qi, and began to cultivate in peace.

A continuous stream of Spiritual Qi flows into the body, and under the influence of the <Enlightenment Technique>, it is transformed into refined spiritual power, surging within the body.

He slowly extended two fingers, and a ten-foot-long cyan Sword Qi condensed at his fingertips.

"Go!" He pointed forward sharply, and the cyan Sword Qi flew forward, piercing through three trees and penetrating half an inch into the fourth tree before disappearing.

This is not a tree commonly seen in the outside world, but a dragon tree that the Silent Daoist specially planted on Heaven Gate Peak. Its roots are thick and strong, like a dragon, and its bark is layered on top of each other, like dragon scales.

Legend has it that a great war once broke out in the Demon Realm, in which the Dragon Clan participated. Countless true dragons perished, and their blood stained the lake red. The trees growing on the lake shore were mutated by the true dragon blood and gained the power of the true dragons.

This is the origin of the dragon tree.

The price of the dragon tree is high, and second- or third-rate sects only dare to buy one or two to decorate their facades. Unlike Heaven Gate Peak, where a small grove of trees is full of dragon trees.

Lu Yang opened his eyes and, through the gaps in the three trees, saw that the fourth tree had been pierced by half an inch. He was overjoyed.

In the past, he could only penetrate three dragon trees. When he reached the fourth tree, his Sword Qi ran out of power and he couldn't even pierce the bark.

"The training over the past few days has finally paid off!" Lu Yang felt that he was becoming more and more adept at using Sword Qi. The three-inch-long cyan Sword Qi coiled around his fingertips, as nimble as a snake.

He can even use Sword Qi to clean ears.

"It's a pity that no one in the same realm can compare with me in swordsmanship. Otherwise, it would be a wonderful thing to have a discussion with them." Lu Yang shook his head regretfully.

Although he had never sparred with anyone of the same level in swordsmanship, the confidence brought by the Invincible Pill made him believe that he was the number one swordsman of his level!

The Immortal Fairy nodded secretly; this was truly invincible power!

Lu Yang possesses the demeanor of this immortal in his prime; he is destined for greatness!

"By the way, fairy, since the Buddhist sect was made up by the five of you, do you know how to create a Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand?"

What is the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand"?

"Haven't you heard of this great Divine Ability, fairy? This is the supreme spatial supernatural Divine Ability of Buddhism, a level higher than the six Divine Ability such as the Heavenly Eye and Heavenly Ear."

"The Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand is a vast kingdom within your palm, with infinite space. Once it falls into your palm, no matter how great your supernatural Divine Ability or how fast you are in the world, you cannot escape. With one palm strike, an entire kingdom tilts down, unmatched by any other."

Some say that the Western Golden Buddha Kingdom is actually a manifestation of the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand.

The Immortal Fairy pondered, "I have never heard of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of My Hand. It must be Law Technique created in later generations, or perhaps Law Technique from our time with a different name."

"For example, I know of a Divine Ability called 'Universe in the Palm of the Hand,' which contains the universe within the palm of one's hand. The stars in the sky are merely playthings in the palm, and the sun and moon are just two spheres of yin and yang, ordinary things."

"Perhaps the universe in the palm of your hand is actually the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand, just given a different name in later generations."

"It's said that an unknown person refined countless stars and transformed them into a continent; this might just be the move they used!"

Lu Yang felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about the High Antiquity nameless man's "Palm of the Universe" technique—casually conjuring up stars—what kind of power was that?

Even natural disasters are as insignificant as dust before the mighty power of immortals!

"You know that the rotation of stars follows a pattern, right? Oh right, you've never been to the universe, so you've never seen the rotation of stars."

The Immortal Fairy spoke with a slightly boastful tone, "I once traveled through space and saw meteorites revolving around stars, and small stars revolving around large stars. I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the rotation of small objects around large objects is the law governing the movement of stars?"

"After observation, speculation, drawing, calculation, and verification, this immortal has finally..."

"Finally, Fairy, you've figured out the laws governing the movement of the stars?" Lu Yang couldn't help but ask, thinking to himself that the fairy still had her moments of intelligence.

"In the end, the Nine Immortals told me that someone had already calculated the laws governing the movement of the stars."

Lu Yang: "..."

Come to think of it, it's not like you have to become an immortal to go into space. Even those in the Body Integration Realm or Tribulation Transcendence Stage can go to space. If anyone is willing, they can just sit by a star for a few years and they'll be out of there.

If you encounter someone who knows time Law Technique, they might be able to calculate it by squatting for half an hour.

"Back then, it was popular to use stars for fortune telling. A great diviner pointed to a nebula and said that when the nine stars aligned, the star field where the nine stars were located would be in chaos, the people would be displaced, and the star field would be destroyed."

"According to the laws of celestial movement, the alignment of the nine planets will occur in three years!"

"This great diviner is named Shi Cang, from the Shi Huang clan. He is renowned and half of his divinations are accurate."

"As you know, some people who practice spiritual cultivation believe in fate, while others do not. So everyone started discussing how to deal with this disaster."

Those who believe in fate think Master Shi Cang is right. They should hurry up and relocate the people on these stars to other stars, where there are many habitable but sparsely populated ones to choose from.

Those who don't believe in fate think it's unnecessary to relocate hundreds of billions of lives based on one person's opinion. This would inevitably cause the death of a large number of lives. Once on a new planet, everything would have to start anew. How many generations would that take?

"So, fairy, do you believe in fate or not?"

"After hearing this, I immediately shattered one of the uninhabited stars, so that the alignment of the nine stars will never happen again!"

Lu Yang silently gave a thumbs up, thinking that the fairy was indeed amazing.

"Although I had not yet become an immortal at that time, crushing one or two stars was still very easy."

"After shattering one star, I discovered that its core contained a formation. Puzzled, I found eight more stars, and the cores of these eight stars also contained the same formation."

"My theory is that when the nine stars are aligned in a row, the formation resonates, triggering a massive explosion."

"Was this intentional?!"

The Immortal Fairy said viciously, "Yes, it's that grandson Shi Cang! Shi Cang uses divination as a pretext to disrupt order and reap huge profits. In reality, any disasters they predict are actually set up by them in secret!"

"In a fit of rage, I killed Shi Cang. Even when the Shi Huangshi tried to dissuade me, apologize, and offer compensation, it was no use. He still killed me without hesitation. Seeing that I was not giving him any face, the Shi Huangshi blocked my path to advancement Tribulation Transcendence."

The Immortal Fairy huffed and said, "It's no use trying to stop me. My talent is unique throughout the ages. If I'm destined to reach the Tribulation Transcendence, then I will!"

Lu Yang clapped his hands.

The conspiracies and schemes of High Antiquity times are truly unimaginable; they often used stars as the unit of calculation. How many people would have suffered under such circumstances?

Just as Lu Yang was pondering how terrifying the High Antiquity secrets and schemes were, he heard the Immortal Fairy ask a question.

"By the way, would you like to learn the Palm of Heaven and Earth technique? I can."

"The universe in the palm of your hand? Me?" Lu Yang looked at his small palm and felt that the fairy was overestimating him.

The second update will be before 11 PM.
