The main mansion has appeared, and Guu Lianxing slowly walks towards it.

A group of martial artists sitting cross-legged are also drawn by the main mansion.

To be more precise, they are attracted by the seventeen dazzling objects inside the main mansion.

"It’s here, the Heavenly Star Lamp, the high-grade holy artifact within the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land."

Some martial artists present are not entering the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land for the first time.

But they still feel shocked every time they see these high-grade holy artifacts, their gaze still burns with desire.

"It’s these 17 Heavenly Star Lamps that make the starlight here amplify, incredibly so."

"Indeed, they are 17 high-grade holy artifacts, naturally their effect is terrifying."

Some martial artists engage in lively discussions.

Those pairs of blazing eyes remain fixated on the 17 Heavenly Star Lamps.

The 17 Heavenly Star Lamps, shimmer with starlight, surrounded by radiant streams, are dazzlingly beautiful to the extreme.

Moreover, these are exceptionally precious, high-grade holy artifacts rarely seen even in the Central Region.

Naturally, everyone keeps their eyes glued to them.

"Heavenly Star Lamp?" Among the martial artists sitting cross-legged, Xiao Yi furrows his brow.

Indeed, those 17 starlight items, look remarkably like lamps filled with stars from the heavens.

But, as Xiao Yi gazes at these Heavenly Star Lamps, he feels a peculiar familiarity.

Yet he cannot immediately recall what they are.

Xiao Yi subconsciously stands up, intending to move closer to the main mansion for a clearer view.

After all, the main mansion is at the end of the plaza, and those 17 starlight items are exceedingly bright, making it difficult to see clearly.

At this moment, the surrounding martial artists are still eagerly discussing.

"It is said that, countless years ago, there were originally 18 Heavenly Star Lamps inside the main mansion."

"But later, an unknown scoundrel took one away."

"Otherwise, the effect of our cultivation in the starlight dao within this Heavenly Star Cave Mansion would have been even stronger."

"Is it possible?" Some martial artists entering the cave mansion for the first time ask with a frown.

"Even if there really were 18 lamps countless years ago."

"Now there are 17, it’s only missing one, how much difference can it make?"

"Young ones, you do not know." Several elders say solemnly.

"The 18 Heavenly Star Lamps were surrounding the stone altar in the main mansion, forming a prohibition."

"Now, with one missing, it’s not just missing one lamp; the entire prohibition cannot be formed."

"That main mansion prohibition, that is true starlight circulation, with incredible power."

"I’ve heard that martial artists entering the Heavenly Star Cave Mansion several centuries ago could experience nearly a thousandfold increase in their cultivation."

"Now it hardly reaches a hundredfold increase, its effectiveness has considerably reduced."

The surrounding martial artists engage in lively discussions.

Xiao Yi had already stood up, bypassed the crowd of martial artists, and headed to the main mansion.

A pair of cold eyes stare directly at the Heavenly Star Lamps inside the main mansion.

Suddenly, a loud shout rings out.

"Little thief, what are you doing?" Gongsun Huowu yells loudly.

With the shout, the discussion around immediately halts, and suspicious eyes turn towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi did not pay attention, continuing to walk.

A nearby strong figure from the Heavenly Star Prefecture frowns, "Young Master Xiao Yi, what are you trying to do?"

"Aside from our Young Master, outsiders cannot approach the main mansion, please proceed with caution."

The strong figure from the Heavenly Star Prefecture, though wary of Xiao Yi’s strength, spoke clearly.

Aside from Guu Lianxing, outsiders are not permitted to enter or approach the main mansion.

Xiao Yi did not respond, and kept walking.

This action instantly made the strong figure from the Heavenly Star Prefecture frown deeply.

Gongsun Huowu, Ximen Guye, and others were immediately enraged.

"Could it be this little thief knows the amplification effect within the main mansion is strongest, and wants to enter the main mansion?" Gongsun Huowu sneers.

Surrounding martial artists also frown.

"With the appearance of the main mansion, the amplification effect within the plaza dramatically increases."

"And within the main mansion, the effect is astonishing, far stronger than the effects outside the plaza."

As the place where the 17 Heavenly Star Lamps are housed, naturally the amplification effect of cultivation is stronger, reaching several hundredfold strength.

"However, this is, after all, the forbidden land of the Heavenly Star Prefecture; every time the Heavenly Star Prefecture opens it, they generously allow us to enter together for cultivation, which is already a favor."

"To covet the effects within the main mansion is truly greedy."

Several elders speak in displeasure.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, it’s best to halt here."

Xiao Yi still ignores them.

Gongsun Huowu is already furious, "You, Xiao Yi the little thief, this girl knew you came to the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land with ill intentions."

"Want to enter the main mansion? Humph, in your dreams."

As the words fall, Gongsun Huowu flashes forward, blocking the way.

The woman called ’Sister Yue’ also shouts coldly, "Young Master Xiao Yi, it’s best not to overstep."

"Inside the main mansion, the effect is astonishing, it is Lianxing’s place of cultivation."

"Entering would plain halve the effect."

"Could you have entered if we hadn’t opened the forbidden land?"

Ximen Guye also shouts coldly, "The heart of man is never satisfied, and even Xiao Yi is such a greedy person?"

"Greedy? Hmph." Gongsun Huowu snorts coldly, "This guy is simply a white-eyed wolf."

Tap...

Gongsun Huowu stands in front.

Xiao Yi’s steps abruptly halt.

Yet, his expression remains as cold as before.

"Miss Gongsun, do you remember my warning outside the Starlight Danger Ground?"

Xiao Yi’s voice was icy.

"If you utter another word I dislike, I won’t hesitate to make you shut up permanently."

The cold killing intent suddenly permeates the cave mansion.

"You..." Gongsun Huowu is startled, showing fear, but quickly returns to her previous anger.

"Little thief, this girl is not afraid of you, if you have the guts, kill me."

"But the strong ones from the Heavenly Rope Prefecture, Heavenly Star Prefecture, and Heavenly Slaughter Mansion won’t let you go."

"Do you really think I fear your Eighteen Mansions?" Xiao Yi sneered.

Between his fingers, a Starlight Sword Qi condenses and appears.

With a light flick of the fingers, the speed reaches the extreme.

The fingertip instantly reaches Gongsun Huowu’s throat.

Gongsun Huowu’s pupils shrink, her expression reveals fear; yet she does not give way, merely closes her eyes in fear.

Her hands spread wide, her body trembles while blocking the path.

Snap...

Xiao Yi’s palm eventually lowers.

Gongsun Huowu can clearly feel the icy coldness on her neck, along with an unusual sense of smoothness.

"Move aside."

All she hears is a cold voice in her ear, yet she feels no pain.

In confusion, she opens her eyes.

Only to see Xiao Yi’s palm lightly shook her away.

"Huh." Gongsun Huowu paused, realizing that the smoothness she had felt came from Xiao Yi’s palm.

"This guy’s hand is as white as a woman’s, even smoother than a woman’s... but wait, this isn’t the time to think about that."

Gongsun Huowu snaps back to reality, about to block again.

But sees Xiao Yi had flashed into the main mansion.

Beside the main mansion’s stone altar, Guu Lianxing gasps, "Young Master Xiao Yi, you..."

Xiao Yi ignores her, tightly observing the 17 Heavenly Star Lamps before him, his expression full of amazement.

"Just as I thought." Xiao Yi chuckles, finally understanding why they felt familiar.

These Heavenly Star Lamps look exactly like his Star Illusion Bottle.
