Shengui Changsheng: Start from Zhenwuwei and add some points to cultivate immortality

He let out a low shout, fusing his pure North Star power with his void perception, like the most precise probe, penetrating deep into the earth veins and broken laws of the Meteorite Plain, tracing the aura that was in the dark and shared the same origin as the core of the star and his own heritage.

Mu Wanqiu stood guard to the side, her Ice Lotus Sword Intent transforming into an invisible barrier that isolated the inside from the outside.

Time passed slowly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Fu Shaoping's forehead. This kind of extensive and in-depth tracing was extremely mentally taxing. Just as his spiritual energy was about to run out, a faint but exceptionally ancient and pure stellar Dao aura emanated from an extremely hidden spatial rift in the southeast!
"Found it!" Fu Shaoping suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing.

The two immediately set off, stealthily heading in the direction they had sensed. The spatial rift was located at the intersection of several massive fissures in the earth, shrouded by natural spatial illusions and chaotic magnetic fields, making it virtually impossible to spot without clear guidance.

Fu Shaoping carefully smoothed out the spatial folds at the entrance with the power of the Return to Nothingness, and the two of them slipped inside.

The space suddenly opened up before them, not the cave or underground palace they had imagined, but a small, independent space! The sky was an eternal curtain of stars, and beneath their feet was a smooth, mirror-like floor of star jade. Dozens of broken star stone pillars stood around them. In the center of the space was a relatively well-preserved circular altar, upon which floated a palm-sized, dark golden token, neither gold nor jade, covered with star trails!

The Daoist aura emanating from the token is of the same origin as the Beichen inheritance and star core within Fu Shaoping's body, but it is even more ancient and majestic!
"This is... the Star Palace Token?!" Mu Wanqiu, well-versed in literature, recognized the item. "Legend has it that it is the symbol of the highest authority in the ancient Star Palace, capable of mobilizing some of the remaining restrictions of the Star Palace, and even... communicating with the Star Realm!"

Fu Shaoping's eyes were burning with determination. He could sense that this Star Palace Token was the key to unlocking the "Starfall Project"!

He took a deep breath and walked step by step toward the altar. The closer he got, the heavier the pressure became, as if the weight of countless stars was pressing down on him. But his Dao heart was firm, his Void Star Nascent Soul was activated, and starlight shone around him, allowing him to withstand the pressure.

Just as he reached out and was about to touch the Star Palace Token—

"Buzz!"

Around the altar, the dozens of broken star pillars suddenly lit up! One after another, illusory figures clad in star armor materialized, wielding starlight spears and exuding a chilling aura! These were the guardian spirits left behind by the Star Palace!
At the same time, a grand idea directly entered Fu Shaoping's mind:
"Anyone who is not a descendant of our palace and dares to approach the Star Pivot—die!"

Dozens of battle spirits simultaneously raised their spears, the dazzling starlight illuminating the entire space and coalescing into a destructive torrent that crashed towards Fu Shaoping! Its power was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator!
"Junior brother, be careful!" Mu Wanqiu's expression changed, and the Ice Lotus Sword Intent erupted instantly, with countless ice lotuses spinning to meet the torrent of starlight in an attempt to block it.

But Fu Shaoping laughed loudly: "I am the legitimate successor of Beichen, the next generation descendant of the Starry Sky Pavilion Master! What do you mean by 'not of my palace's lineage'?!"

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, his nascent soul appearing above his head. He held the core of the star in his left hand and activated the inheritance mark of the Star Evolution Pavilion Master with his right hand, releasing his purest Northern Star Power without reservation!

"Look at me, see who I am!"

The immense, pure power of the North Star, like water and milk blending together, resonated strongly with the oncoming torrent of starlight, the entire altar, and the Star Palace Token!
The destructive torrent of starlight suddenly became docile the moment it touched the starlight surrounding Fu Shaoping, flowing around him like rivers flowing into the sea without harming him in the slightest! And the guardian battle spirits, after sensing the same, even more refined and sublime, stellar Dao aura emanating from him, all stopped, then slowly knelt on one knee, their spears pounding the ground, making a gesture of submission!
“Beichen… Dao Yun… Pavilion Master’s token…” That grand thought resounded once more, tinged with a hint of daze and excitement, “Countless years… finally… the wait has come…”

The oppressive aura surrounding the altar dissipated instantly.

Fu Shaoping stepped forward smoothly and reached out to grasp the dark gold Star Palace Token.

The instant he touched it, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind!

Ancient secrets, the splendor of the Star Palace, the sudden "Starfall" disaster, and... the truth behind the "Starfall Project"!

It turns out that at the end of ancient times, it was not a natural disaster, but rather that extraterrestrial demons were eyeing this world, seeking to devour its origin! The Star Palace was the first to be affected. To protect this world, the current palace master activated the ultimate forbidden technique, "Project Starfall," gathering the power of the entire Star Palace into a devastating attack that kept most of the extraterrestrial demons at bay and annihilated them completely. However, the Star Palace also collapsed as a result, sinking into this place and becoming the current Meteorite Plain!

This Star Palace Token is not only a symbol of authority, but also the key to controlling the Star Palace's ultimate weapon—the remnant of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array"! It is also the coordinate for sensing the residual aura of extraterrestrial demons, and... to draw upon the true power of the star realm!

The Heavenly Court's interest in this place is not solely due to Fu Shaoping. Their deeper purpose is to obtain the Star Palace Token, control the remnants of the Zhou Tian Star Array, and perhaps even... they may be colluding with the few extraterrestrial demons who managed to escape back then, attempting to use the remnants of the array for some purpose!
"Extraterrestrial demons... the Zhou Tian Star Array..." Fu Shaoping digested this shocking information, his heart reeling. He finally understood why the Bei Chen inheritance and the power of Gui Xu had an instinctive hostility and restraint towards extraterrestrial demons. It was because Gui Xu was the end of all things, while extraterrestrial demons were destroyers of order, termites at the end point!
"Junior brother, what did you see?" Mu Wanqiu asked with concern when she saw Fu Shaoping's changing expression.

Fu Shaoping transmitted some information to Mu Wanqiu, especially regarding the possible collusion between the extraterrestrial demons and the Heavenly Court.

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqiu's face paled, but her eyes immediately hardened with unwavering resolve: "If that is truly the case, then we cultivators have an inescapable duty to protect this realm!"

Fu Shaoping nodded emphatically, holding the Star Palace Token in his hand, feeling the immense power and responsibility contained within it. He looked at the dilapidated Star Palace space and said in a deep voice:
"Senior Xinggong protected this realm with his fall. Now that I, Fu Shaoping, have inherited his legacy, I will certainly live up to his expectations! If the Heavenly Court truly colludes with the evil forces from beyond the realm, then it will be an enemy of all the heavens!"

He tried to communicate with the Star Palace Token using his divine sense, and vaguely sensed that deep within the earth's veins of this Meteor Plain, the core of the broken Zhou Tian Star Array was still slowly operating, maintaining the final seal and suppressing something... At the same time, he also vaguely sensed that at the far north, there seemed to be a faint call, of the same origin as the Star Palace Token, but even more ancient and desolate...

"The Star Palace's mission is not over yet." Fu Shaoping put away the Star Palace Token, his gaze seemingly piercing through space as he looked north. "There, the last embers of the Star Palace remain, or rather... the final test."

He looked at Mu Wanqiu: "Senior sister, we may be going to an even more dangerous place."

Mu Wanqiu's Ice Lotus Sword Intent was chilling: "Even if it's the Nine Netherworlds or the Yellow Springs, I will go." The two looked at each other, everything understood without words. Having obtained the Star Palace Token and learned the truth about the "Starfall Project," their journey entered a new phase, no longer merely about personal grudges and the survival of their sects, but also involving the safety of this world and the mission of continuing the ancient lineage!

A new storm is brewing in the far north. And Fu Shaoping, who holds the Star Palace Token, is destined to become the center of this storm that will sweep across the heavens!
Having obtained the Star Palace Token and learned the secrets of the "Starfall Project" and the extraterrestrial demons, Fu Shaoping and Mu Wanqiu did not immediately set off for the far north. Fu Shaoping knew that the road ahead was fraught with danger and unknown, and that he must be fully prepared. Using the authority granted by the Star Palace Token, he opened the long-sealed Time Realm within the dilapidated core space of the Star Palace.

Time flows differently in the secret realm than in the outside world. One month outside is equivalent to one year in the secret realm.

During this year, Fu Shaoping and Mu Wanqiu devoted themselves to cultivation. Fu Shaoping completely refined the star core, his Nascent Soul became increasingly solid, and his cultivation steadily rose to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. His mastery of the laws of stars and the power of the void reached a state of perfection. More importantly, he initially refined the Star Palace Token, allowing him to mobilize a portion of the power of the broken "Zhou Tian Star Array" deep within the Meteorite Plains. Although it was far inferior to its peak in ancient times, its profound mystery was enough to threaten even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

Mu Wanqiu lived up to her reputation as a genius. Nourished by the Starry Sky Secret Realm and Fu Shaoping's Starry Sky Dao Rhyme, her Ice Lotus Sword Intent underwent a transformation, incorporating a trace of the eternity and coldness of the stars, greatly increasing its power. Her cultivation also broke through to the Golden Core Perfection stage, half a step into the Nascent Soul stage, only needing one more opportunity to condense her Nascent Soul.

After a year, the two emerged from seclusion, both with a completely new aura.

“It’s time.” Fu Shaoping sensed the increasingly clear call from the far north emanating from the Star Palace Token, his gaze resolute.

They quietly left Meteorite Plain and headed north. The further north they went, the colder the climate became, and the thinner and more violent the spiritual energy of heaven and earth grew, as if it were the end of the world. Endless glaciers covered the land, and raging winds and blizzards were the eternal theme here; even space itself seemed fragile and unstable.

Half a month later, they arrived at the universally acknowledged border of the Northern Region—the "Permafrost Barrier." It was a vast, boundless wall of ice storms stretching across the heavens and earth, containing terrifying spatial fragments and extreme cold laws; even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators risked death if they ventured in. Beyond the barrier lay an absolutely desolate land, barely mentioned even in ancient texts.

"The source of the summoning lies behind the barrier." Fu Shaoping held the Star Palace Token in his hand. The token emitted a warm starlight, pushing aside the surrounding violent icy power and spatial fragments to form a relatively stable passage.

The two exchanged a glance and resolutely stepped into the permafrost barrier.

Under the protection of the Star Palace Decree, they traversed the storm barrier with great difficulty for an unknown period of time, when suddenly their eyes were filled with light and they broke through the storm barrier.

The sight before them was awe-inspiring, even to the two well-traveled individuals.

Contrary to the expected desolate wasteland, it was a vast, frozen ocean of stars! Countless enormous fragments of stars, like islands, floated in the deep blue void, frozen by eternal ice, preserving their moment of destruction. There was no sun or moon here; the light came from the starlight emanating from the fragments themselves, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, and from a distant, dreamlike aurora borealis that pierced the heavens and earth.

This is the final resting place of the core fragments after the ancient star palace collapsed—the Burial Pit of Ten Thousand Stars!
"Such a rich power of stellar origin... but it's also filled with an aura of death and end." Mu Wanqiu sensed the surrounding environment and said softly.

The Star Palace Token in Fu Shaoping's hand was burning hot, pointing deep into this star graveyard. He could sense a faint yet incredibly tenacious will waiting there.

They flew cautiously among the vast, frozen stars, avoiding some naturally formed, dangerous vortexes of energy. Along the way, they saw some strange ice sculptures, not naturally formed, but the remains of Star Palace cultivators preserved in various battle poses, instantly frozen, lifelike, telling the story of the brutality of that final battle.

Finally, at the very center of the Thousand Star Burial Pit, they saw a dilapidated palace entirely constructed from the core of stars—the last refuge of the Star Palace, and also the final place of inheritance.

Before the palace, upon an ice crystal throne, sat a figure clad in a tattered star-patterned imperial robe. His face was handsome yet lifeless, his eyes closed, and his body a translucent, crystalline form, seemingly fused with the entire burial pit of ten thousand stars. Only the broken star-patterned imperial sword he held in his hand still emitted a faint spiritual light.

As Fu Shaoping and Mu Wanqiu approached, the icy figure suddenly opened its eyes! There were no pupils in its eyes, only a swirling galaxy and endless vicissitudes.

"The successor..." A grand thought resounded, carrying endless weariness and a glimmer of hope, "I am the last guardian of the Star Palace, Star Skeleton."

"Senior." Fu Shaoping bowed and showed off the Beichen Inheritance and the Star Palace Token.

Xinghai's gaze fell on the Star Palace Token, remaining silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh: "Finally... the wait has come. The lineage of Beichen has not been severed."

He looked at Fu Shaoping, his thoughts surging like a torrent: "The extraterrestrial demons have not been completely annihilated. Their 'world-corroding demonic thoughts' are like a plague, lurking in the dark corners of this world, waiting for an opportunity to revive. The Heavenly Court... has already been corrupted by demonic thoughts among its high-ranking officials. Their 'Starfall Plan' is actually intended to use the remnants of the Zhou Tian Star Array to draw upon the source of demonic thoughts, completely corrupt this world, and sacrifice all living beings in order to transcend!"

Although Fu Shaoping had suspected it before, he was still shocked when it was confirmed. The Heavenly Court had actually fallen to such a state!

"Now that you have received the Star Palace Decree and inherited the Northern Star Dao lineage, you bear the responsibility of restoring order and protecting this realm." Xinghai's thoughts became serious. "However, your strength is still shallow and insufficient to directly confront the Fallen Heavenly Court and the source of demonic thoughts."

He raised his hand, and the broken imperial sword flew up and hovered in front of Fu Shaoping.

"This is the remains of the 'Sword of Annihilation Star God,' which once accompanied the Palace Master in slaying countless demons. I have infused my last essence into this sword to help you complete your final inheritance—the Body of Annihilation Star God! Once this body is fully developed, you can transform into a Star God, wielding annihilation, and become the nemesis of extraterrestrial demons!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xinghai's icy body began to transform into specks of starlight, flowing like rivers into the sea, surging into the broken Emperor Sword! The Emperor Sword erupted with unprecedented brilliance, then transformed into a stream of light, instantly piercing into Fu Shaoping's brow! (End of Chapter)
