Soul Emperor Martial God
Chapter 1387: Another 18 High Grade Holy Artifacts
A trace of solemnity abruptly flashed across Xiao Yi’s face.
His heart also gave a sudden jolt.
At this moment, Guu Lianxing had already opened the gate to the Cave Mansion.
"The Cave Mansion is fully open. Everyone, follow me inside."
Guu Lianxing said, leading the way in.
A group of Martial Artists followed behind.
Xiao Yi temporarily halted his pondering and joined them. His foremost aim was still to see the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land.
As for other benefits, such as any treasures inside, Xiao Yi hadn’t considered them.
It’s evident that the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land is opened by the Heavenly Star Prefecture every few years.
If there were truly treasures, they would have been taken already.
The only benefit might be the enhancement effect on Starlight Dao cultivation inside.
Upon entering the Cave Mansion, a dense aura greeted them.
Before their eyes was a vast empty space.
Yes, once inside the Cave Mansion, it appeared empty, about a thousand meters wide.
"Huh, it’s completely empty, why is there nothing at all?"
"I thought the inside of the Cave Mansion would be a place where starlight gathers."
Some Martial Artists showed confused expressions.
Some older Martial Artists smiled, about to respond.
In front, Guu Lianxing chuckled lightly, saying, "There are many among you entering the Heavenly Star Cave Mansion for the first time."
"Lianxing will explain once for everyone."
Guu Lianxing paused, taking a deep breath, then slowly said, "This is the inside of the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land’s Cave Mansion."
"But as everyone saw outside the Cave Mansion, it is exceptionally large."
"Therefore, this is just the outermost part of the Cave Mansion."
"As for other areas within the Cave Mansion, they are all inside the Cave Mansion Restrictions, which even the Heavenly Star Prefecture cannot open." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Guu Lianxing spoke while pausing again.
Her body was indeed weak, needing to stop frequently when speaking.
"Everyone will cultivate within this Cave Mansion for 3 days."
"Now, although it seems empty around, once you gather Primordial Power and start cultivating, the starlight will gather."
"After about a day, when enough starlight gathers, the Main Mansion will be drawn out."
"Then, once the Main Mansion appears, the starlight power within the Cave Mansion will suddenly go berserk."
"Everyone’s cultivation in the Starlight Dao will be greatly enhanced."
"..."
Guu Lianxing thoroughly explained once.
Among them, many Martial Artists were not entering the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land for the first time and were already aware of the situation.
But they still politely cupped their hands, "Thanks for Lady Lianxing’s explanation."
Soon, Martial Artists began sitting cross-legged within this vast, plaza-like area, cultivating on the spot.
Xiao Yi also sat cross-legged, starting his cultivation.
Indeed, as Martial Artists cultivated, strands of starlight were drawn out, appearing in this empty plaza.
If the Cave Mansion was an entirety filled with countless starlight powers.
Then each Martial Artist present was a dispersed entity, using their Martial Arts Power in the Starlight Dao to attract these starlight powers.
Xiao Yi also cultivated while thinking.
"Will the Main Mansion be drawn out when the starlight power reaches a certain level?"
Xiao Yi mused internally.
Recalling earlier outside the Cave Mansion, there was also a Prohibition Formation.
Outside any Cave Mansion, there must be a Prohibition Formation to protect it, which is entirely normal.
And earlier, the Prohibition Formation was suppressed by the Token in Guu Lianxing’s hand, allowing everyone to enter.
And that Token clearly borrowed the power of the starlight from the sky.
No wonder opening the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land needs to take place at night since this is when the starlight power is the most abundant.
In other words, it is also when her Token is the strongest.
If my guess is right, all the restrictions inside this Cave Mansion are related to the starlight and ghost light.
They need to employ starlight methods and power to be unlocked.
Though the specifics are unknown to Xiao Yi.
But from his perception earlier, the Prohibition Formation outside the Cave Mansion, entwined with starlight, in terms of aura, momentum, and formation construct, felt quite similar to what he sensed outside the Cave Mansion in the Golden Light Forbidden Land.
No, it’s practically identical.
Xiao Yi slightly furrowed his brow, contemplating.
Suddenly, an exclamation interrupted his thoughts.
"Hiss." A Martial Artist suddenly drew a cold breath.
"Look at him... What... what terrifying speed of attraction."
A group of Martial Artists sat cross-legged in cultivation, strands of starlight drawn out.
Yet among them, one person drew out not the starlight but an entire enormous Starlight River.
"That guy, what astounding level has he reached in the Martial Arts Level of the Starlight Dao?" Ximen Guye squinted his eyes.
Nearly everyone’s gaze concentrated on Xiao Yi.
Yes, since Xiao Yi started cultivation seated cross-legged, the starlight power was drawn out at an extremely rapid pace.
The starlight hidden within the Cave Mansion, under his Martial Arts strength, almost turned into a river.
In just several minutes, with Xiao Yi as the center, the surrounding hundred meters had clearly transformed into a Starlight Ocean.
While elsewhere, where other Martial Artists sat, only a thin swirl of starlight power surrounded them.
Xiao Yi alone attracted more starlight power than nearly a thousand Martial Artists combined, and faster.
Understandably, Xiao Yi’s current Star Illusion Swordsmanship level controls eighty-five thousand starlight strands, with Martial Arts Level nearing Ninth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm.
The surrounding group of Martial Artists, merely in the Saint King Realm cultivation, are far from comparable in the level of the Starlight Dao.
Just after two hours...
Boom...
The entire wide plaza suddenly shook intensely.
At the plaza’s end, a thousand meters away, a building slowly rose.
"The Main Mansion is emerging." Guu Lianxing exclaimed.
The next second, she looked at Xiao Yi with astonished eyes, "Indeed, Young Master Xiao Yi, what a frightening power."
"Normally, to draw out the Main Mansion, even with a group of Martial Artists, it takes at least over a day."
"But now, it’s drawn out in just two hours."
After a brief moment, the Main Mansion stood there with a roar.
The shaking in the plaza vanished instantly.
Simultaneously, boom... within the plaza, the starlight power drawn by everyone went berserk.
The Martial Artists present rejoiced.
They could already feel the berserk starlight around them, sensing the rapid surge in cultivation speed.
Most importantly, usually, according to tradition, it would take a day to draw out the Main Mansion, leaving only three days within the Cave Mansion.
Meaning only two days were used for real cultivation.
But now, they will have all 3 days to enjoy the effect of a hundredfold increase in cultivation speed.
The Heavenly Star Forbidden Land opens only once every few years, Martial Artists swiftly closed their eyes to sit cross-legged.
At this moment, a figure slowly stood from cross-legged position.
It was Guu Lianxing.
Guu Lianxing slowly walked toward the Main Mansion.
Inside the Main Mansion, it appeared empty to the naked eye, also only around a hundred meters in size.
Yet inside, there was a stone altar.
On the stone altar, pieces of shining starlight items were neatly arranged.
Counting them, there were just 18 pieces.
"High Grade Holy Artifacts?" The Martial Artists present were shocked upon sensing those 18 shiny starlight items.
"No, 17 pieces." Xiao Yi looked seriously, furrowing his brows.
Those starlight items, he stared at them for a moment, suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
...
Third update.
