Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Seeing that a consensus had been reached again, smiles appeared on the faces of all four.

They immediately made another vow regarding their trip to the former site of the Holy Star Sect.

For other Nascent Soul cultivators, this inner demon oath may not be very effective, since reaching the Nascent Soul stage is already the limit for them.

However, the reason why the four people present gathered here was to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and the binding force of their inner demon oath was definitely not low.

If violated, the backlash during the tribulation of inner demons would be enough to cut off their chance of breakthrough on the spot, so they should do their best to comply.

Once the oath was made, Xingchenzi said:

"There's no time to lose. If the three of you don't need to rest any longer, shall we set off now?"

Once the agreement was reached, Xingchenzi showed even more enthusiasm than Li Ye and the other two.

After confirming that they did not need to make any further preparations, he sent a command token back to the sect.

This was done to give an explanation, and also to order them to start copying the classics immediately, so that they could be given to the sect immediately upon their return from the old site of the Holy Star Sect, without wasting any time.

And he was also very perceptive and sensible.

Although they were leading the way to the location of the Star Teleportation Array, they did not go to the teleportation array set up inside the Holy Star Sect, but instead chose another teleportation array that was a little further away from the Holy Star Sect.

In this way, neither party will be in a relatively dangerous situation, thus jeopardizing their fragile trust in each other.

After all, whether it was Li Ye and his two companions suddenly turning on each other after entering the Holy Star Sect, or whether his words were merely a ploy to lure Li Ye and his group into an ambush within the sect, any possibility of these events would keep both sides on edge.

If even the slightest mishap occurs, things will spiral out of control.

The safest approach is to prevent such situations from occurring in the first place.

Upon entering the teleportation array, a faint silver-purple light flickered in Li Ye's eyes. He glanced over and confirmed that it was indeed a teleportation array.

The only difference is that, in addition to being inlaid with spirit stones, this array also has many complex array restrictions that resonate with the stars in the sky, and has many functions such as positioning and calling upon power.

Only in this way was the problem of the lack of spiritual energy in this world, which prevented the teleportation array from being used, finally resolved.

After confirming that everything was correct, he walked into the formation.

Seeing that he had given his approval, Meng and Bai also felt relieved and stepped onto the teleportation array.

If they hadn't had a master of array formations with them, they wouldn't have been able to remain so calm in this situation.

Xingchenzi was not offended by this, but instead smiled at Li Ye and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you have demonstrated your mastery of array formations by breaking the Inlaid Realm Spirit Void Array. Do you think our sect's ingenious teleportation array is worthy of your attention?"

"This formation is quite ingenious, truly an eye-opener for me... Your sect's foundation is indeed extraordinary!"

Li Ye gave a sincere compliment.

This arrangement also touched him deeply.

Among the spiritual plants he had cultivated over the years were those like the Heavenly Profound Seven Star Grass, which he had obtained from the secret realm of the Wood God Sect's side hall, and which touched upon the power of stars, providing Li Ye with an entry for the term "[Stars]".

Its simple effect gives him a special affinity and understanding of the power of heaven and earth and stars. Spirit plants can absorb the power of stars as nutrients and can generate corresponding changes.

For Li Ye, this ability only made comprehending the Southern Dipper Evergreen Technique much easier, allowing him to master it quickly.

The derivative variants of spirit plants didn't provide any new entries, making them relatively useless. Later, they only had a slight connection with the benefits brought by the Burning Sun Wood.

Now, when facing a sect like the Holy Star Sect, whose cultivation methods are based on the changes of stars, they have a certain advantage.

Seeing Li Ye's sincere praise, Xingchenzi smiled and activated the teleportation array without saying anything more.

As the celestial radiance descended from the heavens, the grand array was suddenly activated, and then the teleportation array corresponding to another star in the distance began to activate.

Taking advantage of the interplay between the stars, Li Ye and his group quickly traversed a significant portion of the Ancient Huan Realm, saving them at least several months of travel time.

Upon exiting the teleportation array, the group could see a dilapidated mountain gate still shrouded in starlight.

Even though it has collapsed and been sealed off, it still retains a sense of grandeur, seemingly even more mysterious than the current Holy Star Sect mountain gate.

"The teleportation arrays of our sect are all located in areas that correspond to the sky. This old site of the sect was originally in harmony with the constellations. Although it has changed somewhat due to the great changes in the world, it is still a key point. Fellow Daoists, please follow me..."

Xingchenzi explained, and took the lead in setting up his escape light and heading straight for the old site of the sect.

Without hesitation, Li Ye and his two companions followed closely behind.

Xingchenzi seemed to have a clear purpose, and went directly to a spot outside the collapsed mountain gate.
"Due to past upheavals, the mountain gate's restrictions are in disarray. I came here to explore and barely managed to find a passage that could be opened using legal decrees..."

"However, within the mountain gate, the remains of many predecessors had already undergone mutilation, transforming into ancient stellar corpses under the nourishment of stellar power. These corpses possessed considerable stellar transformations, and among them were many with formidable combat strength. Surrounded by a group of people and hindered by restrictive formations, we below had no choice but to retreat..."

"When the three of you enter later, please be sure to pay close attention."

Although he offered this suggestion, his tone was not actually very serious.

Four late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators arrived, and although they were not enough to break through the Holy Star Sect in its heyday, the ruins and wandering corpses of the Holy Star Sect were no match for them.

After saying that, Xingchenzi summoned a token that was decorated with tiny starlight-like specks and was entirely black.

After casting a few spells, the starlight-formed barrier in front of him was activated and opened, revealing a path to enter.

Xingchenzi stepped in first, followed closely by Li Ye and the other two.

Upon entering, almost instantly, everyone felt as if they were being struck by the solidified, watery power of the stars.

Even the starlight surrounding Xingchenzi immediately intensified.

"Our sect seems to have obtained some extraordinary treasure back then, which can stably draw the radiance of the Nine Heavens Stars into the array, nourishing the cultivation of the entire sect..."

"I did consider taking it with me, but that treasure is the core of this chaotic formation. Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator cannot get close to it. Otherwise, if one thing is touched, the whole thing will be affected, and the backlash from the formation's power would be enough to annihilate us instantly..."

"Perhaps only by breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, or by possessing some void treasure capable of stabilizing the great formation, can we attempt to pass through the formation's restrictions and enter the core of this ancient site to contact that extraordinary treasure... However, the risk is still too high, so it's best if we don't even think about it!"

Xingchenzi explained, "It was precisely these conditions that gave rise to the ancient star corpse that roams the sect..."

He spoke quite frankly, saying that even in such an environment, his supernatural powers were amplified, and Meng and Bai were unable to unleash them.

As for Li Ye... with the [Starry Sky] entry, he was also a beneficiary, so he had no worries whatsoever.

However, ever since he entered this place, a silver-purple spiritual light has appeared in his eyes from time to time. He is observing his surroundings unconsciously, as if he is deep in thought.

When Xingchenzi mentioned that extraordinary treasure, some thoughts also began to form in his mind. (End of this chapter)
