Void Star Hall

"Young friend, it seems you've gained a lot this time. It won't be long before you reach the Body Integration Realm."

Deep within the Dao Repository Academy, in a lakeside pavilion, Bai Shu looked at the two people opposite him and said with some amazement.

"The harvest is indeed excellent, Senior Bai. Your Dao Repository Academy truly lives up to its long-standing reputation as a prestigious institution; its collection of books is indeed abundant."

"Would you two be interested in registering your names with us?" Bai Shu suggested with a light laugh. "The Void Star Hall will be opening soon, and our Dao Repository Academy has thirty spots available. I can make the decision for the two of you."

"The Void Star Hall?" Bai Lili became interested and asked, "What kind of secret realm is this? It sounds quite impressive?"

Seeing that they didn't know, Bai Shu explained, "This Void Star Hall isn't technically a secret realm, but rather a vast star battlefield. The major sects have jointly established a rule that occurs once every three thousand years: there's only one rule—slaughter!"

"You kill me, I kill you. Although it's extremely dangerous, the benefits are also immense. After all, the tempering in life-or-death battles always has great advantages."

"Oh?" Shen Ge asked, "Now that you mention it, Senior Bai, that place does seem interesting. But it only opens once every three thousand years, so how long is that?"

"There's no time limit; you can stay inside as long as you want. However, there's one rule: those in the Body Integration Realm cannot stay inside any longer, and they absolutely cannot attack anyone else."

"After all, this place is just a training ground for those in the Spirit Severing Realm. No matter how fierce the battles are, no one beyond the Nascent Spirit Severing Realm is allowed to be present."

"Interesting." Bai Lili chuckled softly, then asked, "When does this place start?"

"It will begin in one year," Bai Shu said.

"Alright, we agree. We'll be troubling your Dao Repository Academy for the next year." Shen Ge nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, under Bai Shu's arrangement, the two of them moved into a separate courtyard to wait for time to pass.

Spirit Moon Sect's headquarters.

On this day, the sun shone brightly, casting golden rays that illuminated the area around the mountain gate, transforming it into a fairyland.

"Junior sister, please wait." A tall, refined-looking man waved his hand and said, "Junior sister, please think carefully about what I'm about to tell you."

After seeing that person off, several figures returned to the main hall.

Su Liuyue looked at Mo Qingyu: "Master, what are your plans?"

"Currently, our Spirit Moon Sect only has six Spirit Severing Realm. Apart from Junior Brother Shen's clone, only you and I are at the Late Spirit Severing Realm. As for that Void Star Hall, only the two of us have the strength to venture into it."

"Don't we have clones?" Mo Qingyu said calmly, "The main body doesn't go, the clone goes. Even if it dies in the end, we only lose one clone."

"That's one way too." However, Su Liuyue didn't take it too seriously. After all, the clone's strength was much weaker than the main body. Even the main bodies weren't very confident of escaping unscathed, let alone the clones. It would probably just be sending a clone in for nothing.

At this moment, Mo Qingyu suddenly asked, "By the way, any news about that kid lately?"

Su Liuyue knew who her master was asking about, so she shook her head and said, "There's no news, but the ghostly realm in the Yellow Wind Sands has disappeared, so he must have left too."

"That kid's out now but he doesn't even bother to come see us. He's getting more and more distant." Mo Qingyu shook her head and sighed, "One relationship has tormented him his whole life. His love tribulation is truly difficult."

"If the tribulations of love were easy to overcome, so many geniuses throughout history would not have been killed."

"Forget it, let's leave him be. He has to walk his own path anyway, and we can't interfere anymore." Mo Qingyu sighed softly, then waved her hand and asked, "Are there any promising disciples among the recently recruited ones?"

Because Mo Qingyu basically doesn't manage affairs, she isn't very familiar with some matters within the sect.

The current leader of the Spirit Moon Sect is a disciple in the Nascent Soul Late Stage. He was one of the children captured by the Blood Devil Grotto and was personally taught by Zhang Fengge.

His strength is alright, but reaching the Spirit Severing Realm is probably out of the question.

"The last time we recruited disciples was three years ago. The one with the best aptitude was a girl with a single, high-grade Water Spirit Root Spirit Root root. Now..." Su Liuyue scanned with her divine sense and continued, "She's already at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement. I estimate she'll break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in a few years."

"A girl, and with a top-grade Water Spirit Root." After murmuring this, Mo Qingyu's eyes darkened slightly as she thought of an old acquaintance.

She was once an elder of Heavenly Sword Peak, possessing a superior-grade Water Spirit Root. But now, thinking back, she may already be...

never mind...

"By the way, you also have a high-grade Water Spirit Root. Although you haven't majored in this Spirit Root, you should have some insights into it. Why don't you teach her a thing or two?"

"We'll see," Su Liuyue nodded. "If she catches my eye, taking her as my disciple isn't out of the question."

How is Fengge doing lately?

"She..." Su Liuyue sighed softly, "The situation is bad, her lifespan is almost over."

"Yes, it's about time."

"That kid is really something else. He doesn't even come back to see his disciple who's about to die. He really doesn't care about his disciples at all."

Mo Qingyu waved her hand and said, "Never mind, you should go back and prepare too. We shouldn't leave the Void Star Hall empty-handed."

To the East Lin Domain.

In the Blue Sea Town.

A man dressed in white, looking like a banished immortal, was teaching in a school. Below him sat about a hundred students.

This person was none other than Mo Shang, the former giant of the demonic path. In recent years, he has calmed down and started to experience the mortal world.

However, he has made a name for himself in the East Lin Domain over the years. Despite being only at the Spirit Severing Middle Stage Nascent Soul realm, he has caused headaches for all the major and minor sects in the East Lin Domain and has even earned the title of Yin-Harvesting Devil Lord.

Over the past thousand years, from the most talented female disciples of major sects to women from various Lineage, more than five thousand people have died at his hands, and they were all exceptionally talented.

It is precisely because of him that female disciples in various sects and Lineage rarely go out now. Even when they do go out, they need someone to protect them, which is simply unbearable.

"Teacher, what are you deceiving me for?"

Mo Shang smiled slightly, put down the book in his hand, and said calmly, "Those who bully others should be crushed to ashes. Everyone's life is precious, why let yourself be bullied?"

"Life in this world should be lived freely and happily; why should one care about the life or death of others?"

"Teacher, if that's the case, then aren't we committing a crime against the law? We want to live a carefree and happy life, but the law hangs over our heads like a sword, making it impossible for us to be carefree. How can this be explained?"

"There's no solution," Mo Shang shook his head. "If you lack the strength, I advise you to abide by the law. Though you'll lose your freedom, you won't be in mortal danger."

Time flies, and the day for the Void Star Hall to open has arrived.

That day, Shen Ge and Bai Shu, along with a group of the Dao Repository Academy disciples, traveled by teleportation array to the Central Domain. This place was the very center of the entire Heavenly Desolation Domain. Although it was much smaller than other places, it was still quite vast.

Moreover, this place is home to two top-tier powers, the Holy Spirit Dao Heaven Sect and the Divine Immortal Grotto, so its status is naturally extraordinary.

"Starry Sky Mountain is just ahead. From here, you can reach the Void Star Hall via a special teleportation array, but the teleportation location is random, so please be careful."

"Besides..."

Bai Shu, who was in charge of leading the team, kept giving instructions and was doing his best.

As they approached Starry Sky Mountain, a rough laugh reached their ears.

"Hahaha, Bai Shu, I knew I wasn't wrong, it really was you from the Dao Repository Academy."

"You haven't shown your face often these past few years. It's been over a thousand years since I last saw you, since we parted ways in Azure Origin City."

"Brother Zilong, how have you been?" Bai Shu greeted him.

After exchanging greetings and reminiscing, the formation was activated, and all the forces that had arrived entered it. This was just the beginning; many more were still on their way. The formation would remain operational for at least a month.

In the crowd, Shen Ge and Bai Lili exchanged a glance, then calmly walked into the formation.

Of course, neither of them went there in person; they were split souls. Their split souls had an advantage over clones in the Spirit Severing Realm, and their strength was almost the same as their original selves.

After passing through the gray passage, countless starlight shone from all around.

Shen Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the surrounding star map in silence.

"Hmm, the Spiritual Qi is a bit lacking, but the stellar energy is quite abundant, which is suitable for the Demon Race."

"There's a desolate and sorrowful atmosphere, along with a mix of fighting spirit and killing intent; it's indeed a good place for honing one's skills."

"There are quite a lot of Star Stone." Shen Ge raised his hand and grabbed a floating boulder. With a slight movement of his fingers, the boulder's stone fragments began to fall off, and in the blink of an eye, the boulder in Shen Ge became a Star Stone the size of a human head.

This Star Stone is a third-tier material, which isn't particularly high quality, but for a large sect with many disciples, it's something they can't afford to miss. After all, it is a third-tier material and can be refined into Law Treasure.

After collecting all the Star Stone nearby, Shen Ge glanced around and then flew towards a huge rock.

But as soon as he got close to the rock, a giant hand reached out to grab him.

Shen Ge raised an eyebrow and Qingyu, "It seems that killing truly reigns supreme here."

Immediately, Shen Ge flicked his fingers, and a dazzling sword light slashed towards the giant hand. Upon impact, the sword light actually sliced through the giant hand.

"You've got some skill, come again!"

As these words rang out, a streak of light crashed straight into Shen Ge, carrying with it an invincible aura that seemed to have no way to stop him.

"Cultivate your power?" Shen Ge smiled faintly, a surge of fighting spirit rising within him. A golden light erupted around him, and countless Sword Qi shot towards the man. "Want to cultivate an invincible aura? Then let's see if you're truly invincible!"

The two exchanged hundreds of blows, and for a short time, neither was gaining the upper hand.

Of course, it was also because Shen Ge intentionally did not use the Samsara Method. He was honing his Sword Qi, hoping to create his own Swordsmanship.

"You have some real strength; you're worth me revealing my true form!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a giant claw reached out and grabbed at Shen Ge!

Shen Ge raised an eyebrow and quickly retreated a distance to avoid the giant claw.

At that moment, a colossal beast, comparable to a mountain, appeared before him. Its entire body was purple, and its flowing fur crushed countless meteorites around it.

The three heads exuded an aura of majesty and dominance, their eyes blood-red, emanating a powerful, bloodthirsty aura.

"A three-headed lion can be considered an ancient and unusual species."

Shen Ge's lips curled up slightly, and instantly the Sword Intent around him became even more terrifying, as if a sword immortal was about to fall.

"That's more like it." The three-headed lion said in a loud voice, and then opened its three mouths and spat out three powerful beams of light that were capable of destroying the world, which shot towards Shen Ge in the next moment.

Shen Ge raised his hand and a long sword appeared in his hand. This sword was named Qiu Shuang, a flying sword of the Spirit Artifact level that he had once forged. Now it was just right to use it.

Shen Ge's longsword trembled, and a sword light slashed towards the three beams of light. The soaring Sword Intent seemed capable of tearing through space.

But the sword light was annihilated the moment it came into contact with the three beams of light.

"This power is quite impressive; few cultivators at the Spirit Severing Realm could withstand it head-on."

After dodging the first barrage of the three beams of light Shen Ge muttered a few comments, then raised his hand and slashed at the three lions with his sword.

The light of this sword strike silenced the entire space, its power far surpassing that of the previous strike.

The three-headed lion's eyes narrowed, and a fiery red light shield appeared around its body in the next moment.

The sword light vanished the instant it struck the light barrier, but the barrier itself was torn open, leaving a gaping hole stretching for dozens of miles, from which a faint aura of death emanated.

"Damn it, we've run into a tough one." The three-headed lion cursed inwardly, then dispersed its three beams of light and raised its claws to grab at Shen Ge.

As the claws continued to swing, countless claw beams spread across the space, heading towards Shen Ge Shen Ge completely blocking all of his paths forward and backward.

But Shen Ge had no intention of retreating. He unleashed sword strike after sword strike, each strike stronger than the last, and none of the three lions' attacks could penetrate within a mile of him.

"That guy is using me to hone his Swordsmanship!" The three-headed lion was furious. How dare he look down on me!

Immediately, the three-headed lion channeled all its Law Power into one claw. As this claw struck, three claw marks tore through the space and spread towards Shen Ge. Its power was terrifying. Whether it was its own attack or Shen Ge's Sword Qi, everything in front of it was instantly dissolved upon contact.

Shen Ge's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Well done!"

"Try this sword of mine!"

Spring and Autumn!

As Shen Ge unleashed his sword strike, a desolate sorrow swept forth, but in the next moment, this sorrow transformed into an inexhaustible vitality.

The moment the sword light touched the claw mark, a terrifying aura surged outwards. Within a radius of a hundred miles, nothing but Shen Ge and the three-headed lion remained; everything else had been reduced to dust and vanished.

"The sword is complete; I have no interest in playing with you anymore."

After speaking, Shen Ge's aura of Samsara evolved, with life and death intertwined and entwined, instantly forming an extremely terrifying sword aura.

"Life and death are but a thought in my own mind!"
