The Zhenhuan Mountains are a unique cultivation mountain range belonging to the Taiyi Sect of the Great Jin Dynasty. A branch of the Zhenhuan Mountains in the southeast is shaped like a reclining dragon, where three spiritual veins converge.

The brothers Su Mo and Su Yun stood atop the main peak, gazing down at the busy low-level cultivators below...

These are all family members arranged by their father, Su Ning.

"Brother, this mountain-protecting formation is truly wondrous." Su Yun pointed to the starlight screen that was taking shape, "It can even draw upon the power of the stars."

Su Mo nodded calmly.

He looks very much like Su Ning when he was young, except that he lacks the sharpness in his brows and has more of the scholarly air of Mo Caihuan.

Ever since they left Huangfeng Valley as children, the two brothers have lived in Taixu Realm. Now, Su Ning has finally shown them the true world of cultivation.

Previously, Suning's strength was insufficient, and they were constantly on the verge of collapse. So only now have they been able to establish a foothold in the market.

"The Nine Revolutions Star Radiance Array that Father brought from the ancient Star Palace is said to be a secret technique of the Star Clan in the Spirit Realm. You and I, brothers, must master the control method as soon as possible."

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the foot of the mountain.

A group of cultivators dressed in the attire of Burning Heaven Peak forced their way in, with the leader shouting, "By order of the Sect Leader, we are here to verify the distribution of spiritual veins!"

The two brothers exchanged a glance and simultaneously made a hand seal.

The newly formed Star Radiance Array suddenly unleashed seven beams of starlight, trapping the newcomers like a cage.

Su Yun sneered: "Hmph! Inspection? My Su family's formation is not yet complete. Anyone who trespasses will die!"

"Wait a moment." Su Mo pressed down on his younger brother and said gently to the newcomer, "Please show the sect leader's jade token, envoy."

The leader of the cultivators hesitated for a long time, unable to produce any of the Xuan Tianzi's warrants.

Just as he was about to argue, the sky suddenly darkened...

The enormous figure of the Wind-Splittering Beast swept over the mountaintop, while Su Ning descended through the air.

"Father!" The two brothers stepped forward in surprise and bowed, after all, Su Ning was the backbone of their Su family.

Su Ning didn't even glance at the disciples of Burning Heaven Peak, but simply waved his sleeve.

The Star Radiance Array suddenly activated, gently yet firmly "sending" all the outsiders out of the mountain gate.

"Remember," Su Ning said earnestly, looking at his sons, "In the world of cultivation, strength is the best jade token."

"Yes! Father."

"Strive to cultivate! Raise your cultivation level as soon as possible, and we'll find you women from other cultivation families to marry later. After all, our Su family is indeed a bit sparsely populated."

"As ordered."

……

The forbidden area behind Su Family Fortress has been transformed into a secluded cultivation cave, but in reality, the cultivators are cultivating on the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain in the Taixu Realm.

While the "Primordial Magnetic Divine Light" can help break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it also has many limitations, requiring one to stay in the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Star Palace Twin Saints have been in seclusion for cultivation. Fortunately, Su Ning possesses the Taixu Realm, which stores the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain; otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to directly cultivate this technique.

At this moment, three supreme treasures floated before him: the jade slip of the "Starry Sky Body Forging Technique" obtained from the ruins of the ancient star palace, the Nascent Soul Transformation experience bestowed by Ancestor Bai, and the Star Spirit Body essence blood secretly sent by Ling Yuling.

“I see…” Su Ning’s eyes gleamed.

Based on the comparison of the three, the key to the ancient star race's breakthrough to the Godhood realm lies in reshaping their physical body with the power of the stars.

As the essence of the five elements, Yuanci Divine Mountain is just right to replace the legendary "star core".

However, four auxiliary materials are still missing: Western Geng Metal, Eastern Yi Wood, Northern Dark Water, and Southern Fire.

The most troublesome thing is the Heavenly Fire. According to the jade slip, it must be the "Heavenly Fire Essence" formed by condensing the purest solar essence fire over ten thousand years.

"The treasure that guards the peak of Burning Heaven Peak..." Su Ning seemed to be deep in thought.

No wonder Old Ancestor Bai made this point out at the banquet; he wanted to use him to deal with the Burning Heaven faction!
Su Ning put away all the treasures, the God-Slaying Spear trembling slightly in his palm.

A storm is brewing, and this is the perfect opportunity to test the Su family's true strength.

……

In the dead of night, Su Ning quietly arrived at the Su Family Ancestral Hall.

The two sons had been waiting there for a long time, with a topographical map of the Zhenhuan Mountains spread out on the table.

"Mo'er, go to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion in person tomorrow." Su Ning flicked his finger and set up a soundproof barrier. "Give the entire 'Nine Revolutions Star Radiance Array' to the Pavilion Master in exchange for his 'Thousand Machine Puppet'."

Su Yun's eyes lit up: "Father wants to..."

"Yun'er has led thirty elite troops to ambush at Feiyan Gorge." Su Ning pointed on the map, "If Zhang Tie comes, he will definitely take this route."

After making the arrangements, Su Ning took out two jade talismans: "These are life-saving items, containing thirty percent of my magical power."

He paused, then added, "If things become impossible, crush the jade talisman and immediately head to the Chaotic Star Sea to find Ling Yuling."

After the two brothers left to carry out their orders, Feng Xi flew down from the beam: "Master, should I go to the Yinluo Sect first...?"

"No need," Su Ning sneered. "I have my own plans."

He took out a blood-red jade slip, which was the very one he had obtained from Yin Jiuyou years ago.

After divine sense was injected, Zhang Tie's phantom image appeared on the jade slip...

This rising star of the Yinluo Sect was cultivating in a secret chamber, his five-colored blood-red pupils between his brows flickering between light and shadow.

"It'll be soon..." Su Ning gently stroked the God-Slaying Spear. "Once I gather all five elemental treasures, it will be time for me to become a god."

Outside the window, the first rays of morning light pierced through the clouds.

A storm is brewing, and within this storm lies the potential for something extraordinary to rise to great heights!

……

Inside the secluded cave on the back mountain of the Su family, a branch of the Zhenhuan Mountains, Su Ning displayed everything he had obtained from the ancient star palace ruins.

The Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain slowly rotated within the Taixu Realm, emitting a soft, multicolored glow; the jade slip of the "Starry Body Forging Technique" floated in mid-air, projecting dense golden characters; and the remains of the Star Gazing Platform...

To be precise, it was the ring on the skeleton's hand, which was now lying in its palm, emitting a faint blue light.

"I actually misjudged it..." Su Ning gathered a wisp of spiritual energy at her fingertips and gently stroked the surface of the ring.

While at Taiyi Sect, his attention was entirely focused on other rare and precious materials. It wasn't until he was taking stock of his gains that he discovered that this seemingly ordinary ring was radiating a restrained power!
As spiritual energy was infused, the ring suddenly became scalding hot.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of azure light shot into the sky, projecting a vast starry sky onto the top of the cave.

Three ancient seal characters appeared in the pillar of light: Starry Space Ring.

"A storage ring?" Su Ning tentatively touched it with his divine sense and was immediately sucked into a strange space.

The sight before him shocked even this well-traveled Nascent Soul cultivator…

The Star Ring contains a hidden world, with the entire space divided into ten regions: the Star Mirror, Planet Mirror, Satellite Mirror, Comet Mirror, Meteor Mirror, Dwarf Planet Mirror, Asteroid Mirror, Nebula Mirror, Star Cluster Mirror, and Galaxy Mirror.

The first realm, "Asteroid Realm," is a small mountain made of top-grade spirit stones.

These spirit stones are completely different from those circulating in the cultivation world today. Each one contains the power of stars and spontaneously forms constellation patterns in the void.

A rough estimate puts the number at least at 100,000, enough to support a giant sect's consumption for a hundred years!
In the original drama, Han Li only obtained a top-grade spirit stone from the Golden Flood Dragon King, which shows how precious top-grade spirit stones are in the human cultivation world.

The second realm, the "Dwarf Planet Realm," is a sea of ​​floating jade slips.

Thousands of jade slips floated like stars, categorized according to cultivation techniques, formations, alchemy, and so on.

The three crimson gold jade slips at the very center were entwined with star chains, emitting a heart-pounding fluctuation.

With this valuable knowledge of cultivation, Suning's future path to immortality will be smooth sailing.

When Suning attempted to enter the third realm, the "Meteor Realm," he was blocked by a starlight barrier.

Through the semi-transparent light screen, a mass of liquid starlight could be vaguely seen flowing slowly, sometimes transforming into the shape of a dragon, and sometimes into a star map and a vast palace, which was truly mysterious.

"Could this be... Star Essence?" Su Ning recalled the records in the "Star Body Forging Technique" and his heart pounded wildly.

Legend has it that this primordial substance is only produced when stars are extinguished, and it is the best material for refining heaven-reaching spiritual treasures!
Of course, these would be the most precious natural treasures for body tempering, absolutely allowing him to take his body tempering technique to the next level. Suppressing his excitement, he first took out the three crimson gold jade slips.

The moment my consciousness made contact with the first one, a flood of information rushed into my mind:
The Complete Book of Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue – An ancient star palace sect's supreme cultivation technique, pointing directly to the Great Ascension stage!
Compared to the existing "Star Origin Scripture" by Suning, this technique focuses more on the use of stellar power, especially the last chapter, "Starry Sky Transformation," which is an unparalleled divine power to control star projections to fight enemies.

The second jade slip contains the "General Outline of Star Palace Arrays," which includes the complete version of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array" used by Ling Yuling to rebuild Tianxing City.

Even more valuable is the repair method for the "interdimensional teleportation array" recorded in the last few pages, which is exactly what Suning needs most.

Because Su Ning had always had a grand plan in mind: to take advantage of the fact that the ascension passage to the Guanghan Realm had been blocked, and to try to wipe out all the top cultivators in the Guanghan Realm in one fell swoop.

Alternatively, one could allow their own spatial world to devour the entire Guanghan Realm, in which case their own spatial world would grow to an unimaginable extent.

The contents of the third jade slip caused Su Ning's expression to change drastically...

The five blood-red seal characters of "Star Marrow Infusion Technique" are shocking.

This is a secret technique that uses star marrow to forcibly break through realms. According to records, the ancient star race once used this method to mass-produce Nascent Soul cultivators.

But the price is...

Consume the essence of the astral spirit!

In short, it means to cultivate with a female cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage of a Star Spirit.

"No wonder Ling Yuling reacted abnormally to the remains..." Su Ning suddenly realized.

The remains were likely those of a powerful Star Clan member who had used this technique in life, and Ling Yuling, as a Star Spirit, instinctively sensed the shared aura.

Perhaps Ling Yuling already knew this secret of the cultivation world and was worried that she would be preyed upon by those powerful cultivators.

Just as he was deep in thought, the Star Ring suddenly trembled violently!
A crack appeared in the Starlight Barrier of the Third Realm, and the Star Essence seeped out on its own, turning into a stream of light and entering Su Ning's brow.

"Well!"

Excruciating pain swept through my entire body.

The moment the star marrow entered his body, the Great Wilderness Technique and the Starry Sky Body Forging Technique automatically activated, and Su Ning witnessed a terrifying scene...

In the vast starry sky, countless stars are bound by blood-red chains, at the end of which is a hideous demon with three heads and six arms!

“Ancient Demon… Eclipse…” Fragmented information flashed through my mind.

After the intense pain subsided, Su Ning hurriedly checked his body and found that there was a star-shaped mark on the forehead of his dantian nascent soul. He had also broken through to the seventh level of the Great Wilderness Technique and entered the second level of the Star Body Forging Technique. Now Su Ning's divine sense and body refinement were infinitely close to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

Su Ning suddenly had a feeling that his current body-refining level was no less than that of Barbarian Beard, and he was confident that he could send Barbarian Beard flying with a single punch.

Even more strangely, when he checked the jade slip again, the page for "Star Marrow Infusion Technique" had become blank!

It's as if some entity deliberately erased this record...

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Su Ning transferred most of the treasures in the Star Ring to the Void Realm.

The Void Heaven Palace in the Taixu Realm has been renovated by Su Ning into the headquarters of the Su family, which will be the foundation for the Su family's rise in the cultivation world in the future.

Just as he was moving the last batch of jade slips, he suddenly noticed fine, hair-like blood-red lines appearing on the inner wall of the ring...

These lines formed a distorted human face, just like the golem he had seen in his hallucinations!
At this moment, Su Ning couldn't help but recall the strange behavior of the cultivator's skeleton when he retrieved the ring in the ancient star palace.

"There's definitely something strange about this." Su Ning immediately stopped moving the objects and unleashed his signature move, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

This divine lightning is specifically designed to counter demonic energy; it bursts forth with blinding lightning as soon as it approaches the barrier.

The blood-red face twisted in agony amidst the lightning, eventually solidifying into a talisman.

Suning recognized this as an ancient "Demon Sealing Seal," meaning that the Star Ring had been corrupted by an ancient demon, and the Star Marrow might be the key to the seal!
"Don't kill me! I can give you everything..."

"Hmph! Could it be that Zhang Tie and the Yinluo Sect are looking for... this?" Recalling Zhang Tie's crazy behavior in the ancient star palace, Su Ning vaguely grasped something.

If that's the case, then the "Netherworld Mirror" that Zhang Tie obtained might very well be the key to breaking the seal...

However, Su Ning didn't care about the Yin Luo Sect's ultimate goal. Instead, he directly used the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to destroy the ancient demon.

It is said that the reason why the Guanghan Realm cannot allow Nascent Soul cultivators to ascend normally is because the spiritual energy here has been polluted by demonic energy, and can only support cultivators to cultivate to the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Just as he was deducing various possibilities, the cave's restrictions were triggered.

Feng Xi's urgent voice transmission rang out: "Master! Su Family Fortress has been attacked, and the attackers are from the Blood Fiend Hall of the Yin Luo Sect!"

"What? This is the heart of the Taiyi Sect! Has the Yinluo Sect gone mad?"

"Either the Yinluo Sect is desperate and resorting to desperate measures, or they have ulterior motives."

"..." At this moment, Su Ning immediately thought of the ancient demon that he had just destroyed.

At this moment, the sky above the southeastern branch of the Zhenhuan Mountains was already a sea of ​​fire.

The twelve blood-robed cultivators formed the "Blood River Formation," which caused the protective formation of Su Family Fortress to teeter on the brink of collapse.

The one-eyed old man at the head of the group, holding a blood-red banner, was none other than the Blood Fiend Hall Master of the Yinluo Sect…

The Blood River Monster, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage!
"Su family brat, hand over the ancient Star Palace treasures, and I'll spare your corpses!" The old monster grinned and waved his banner, as another bolt of blood lightning struck down.

Blood trickled from the corners of Su Mo and Su Yun's mouths, yet they stubbornly maintained the Nine Revolutions Star Radiance Array.

The main reason is that the Blood River Old Monster didn't want to kill Su Mo and Su Yun so quickly, otherwise the two of them, who were in the early and middle stages of Core Formation, wouldn't have been able to resist at all.

Just as the light shield was about to shatter, a bolt of silver-gray lightning struck from the back mountain!

"boom!"

Feng Xi's claws tore three Core Formation cultivators from the Yin Luo Sect to shreds, while Su Ning descended like a god at the heart of the formation.

He did not act immediately, but instead took out the Star Ring and put it on his right hand.

"Since you're courting death..." Su Ning sneered, raising his right hand, "I'll show you the true legacy of the ancient star palace!"

The star patterns on the ring lit up one by one, and seven dazzling stars suddenly appeared in the night sky.

As Su Ning closed his five fingers, seven beams of starlight fell like celestial swords, and the Blood River Formation instantly collapsed!
Blood River Old Monster was horrified: "Zhou Tian Xing Dou?! Impossible! This formation is clearly..."

Before he could finish speaking, his body was pierced by the starlight, and even his nascent soul could not escape.

The remaining Yinluo Sect cultivators were stunned.

How can this be called a fight?

This was clearly a one-sided massacre!

This is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator killing a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator, which is extremely rare in the entire cultivation world.

If Su Ning's killing of Yin Jiuyou in Tianxing City of the Chaotic Star Sea last time was a fluke, then his killing of the Blood River Old Monster, who was at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, this time was a testament to his strength.

Someone shouted "Run!" and the Yinluo Sect members scattered like birds and beasts.

Su Ning did not pursue, but instead stared at the Star Ring.

That attack just now consumed one-tenth of the star power within the ring, yet its power was comparable to a full-force attack from a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even more remarkably, he sensed a certain resonance between the Star Essence within the Ring and the Nascent Soul within his body…

"Father!" Su Yun ran over excitedly, "You killed a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage this time!"

Su Ning's expression was solemn: "Order the entire clan to enter a state of war preparedness immediately. Next, we will invite your grandmaster to the Su family to take charge."

He looked northwest towards the Yinluo Sect, "The real enemy... hasn't made a move yet."

The mountain wind howled, and the blood runes on the Star Ring appeared and disappeared.

What is the connection between the Netherworld Mirror in Zhang Tie's hand and this ring?

Why are the cultivators of the Yinluo Sect so fanatical?
Why was the Star Marrow Infusion Technique erased?

Behind these mysteries, a larger conspiracy seems to be hidden.
