Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 55 Fragments

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Bone Douluo looked at the intelligence report in his hand about Star Crown Douluo's powerful suppression of the Black Tiger School's sect leader, and suddenly remembered the dazzling starlight that forced him to appear outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Feng Zhi, who is in contact with Dugu Bo, is very likely the Star Crown Sect."

"yes."

Ning Fengzhi tapped his cane lightly on the ground, and it was a long time before Bone Douluo heard his voice.

"Uncle Bone, how many Title Douluos do you think they have?"

Early the next morning, Dugu Bo, who was playing with his granddaughter in the Dugu residence, received an invitation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

He wasn't in a hurry to accept the invitation. Instead, he wrote a letter to the Star Crown Sect, leaving the final decision on how to deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to them.

A few days later, Dugu Bo walked out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ning Fengzhi saw him off with a smile. The two sides reached a preliminary consensus to remain consistent in dealing with the Spirit Hall. As for other matters, it would depend on their respective abilities.

Since the destruction of the Black Tiger Sect, many sects have begun to restrain their petty actions, and for a time the continent seemed to fall into peace again.

The major sects and forces remained as stable as Mount Tai, and powerful Soul Masters and nobles remained high above. As for the fate of lower-level Soul Masters and ordinary people, who cared?

Anyway, Xu Mingxi didn't care. If he could, he wanted the Douluo Continent to be surnamed Xu, and everyone to be equal except for the Star Crown Sect, which was high and mighty.

He was so engrossed in his cultivation under the Star Tree that he didn't notice that the old vine on the Star Tree was watching him intently, seemingly deep in thought, showing no sign of falling asleep.

Looking at the starlight surrounding Xu Mingxi, feeling the coolness of the moonlight and the heat of the sunlight on him, Teng Lao felt a mix of emotions.

It and the Star Tree were originally just two ordinary, unknown little plant spirit beasts on this nameless hill.

The reason it has become what it is today is entirely due to a fragment that suddenly fell from the sky back then.

From that day on, two more soul beast races appeared on the Douluo Continent, and the nameless hill also changed, becoming known as Starfall Mountain.

Then, a Soul Master who used starlight to discover them discovered them and established a sect on Starfall Mountain. The two have lived together peacefully ever since.

Another stream of moonlight essence was drawn down by Xu Mingxi and injected into Teng Lao's body, startling him out of his memories and making him look at Xu Mingxi sitting cross-legged under the tree.

It watched him grow from a lazy and cunning child to who he is today, and saw him undergo two miraculous major changes. Perhaps this was divine guidance.

The old vine retreated back to the Star Tree and fell silent. It wasn't until the next day, when all the Star Crown Sect members except Xu Mingxi had left, that it sprang out from the treetop, its sturdy vines lightly touching the Star Tree.

"Old tree, old tree, wake up."

An aged face appeared on the Star Tree, looking at the Star-Seeking Vine with a puzzled expression. "Weren't we supposed to sleep together? It doesn't seem like much time has passed."

"Old Tree, is that thing we put underground still of any use to you?"

Speaking of this, the old tree was no longer sleepy. That thing was like a second life for the two of them, and its importance was self-evident. However, now it was really only useful for increasing the cultivation speed by a tiny bit.

But why is Old Vine bringing this up? The Star Crown Sect brat is right there. It's not like he wants to give their manhood to this human.

No way, the old vine can't be that generous...

"Old Tree, I want to give that thing to him."

No, you really want to? The old tree was a little overwhelmed. Although that thing was of little use to them, it was still a rare treasure in the world. How could you just give it away so easily?

"Old Teng, are you serious?" "Yes, take a closer look at this kid, and you'll see why I think this way."

The old tree, which had been asleep for many years, finally turned its gaze to Xu Mingxi. It was just the essence of moonlight, wasn't it? It knew that... Sunlight? What was going on?

It was a little confused. Had it been asleep for another hundred years? But the boy's appearance hadn't changed much.

"Alright, old tree, listen to me, you won't go wrong. Take the things out."

"Okay, okay."

Xu Mingxi was awakened from his cultivation by Elder Teng. Before he could ask any questions, he saw the roots of the Star Tree sprouting from the soil, with a small ball of light emitting a soft glow wrapped around it.

As soon as the ball of light appeared, the three Title Douluos of the Star Crown Sect raised their heads at the same time, looked towards the back mountain, and rushed towards this side.

Xu Mingxi, who was on the scene, hadn't looked away from the ball of light since he first saw it; he could feel a fatal attraction emanating from it.

Just as the two elders were about to speak, the sect leader and the two elders arrived and stood in front of Xu Mingxi, looking at the two elders and the ball of light in their hands.

"You don't need to be so vigilant. This thing was already in our hands before you even came to this mountain."

"I'm only giving it to this kid this time. You guys have Star Crown Martial Souls, so you should be able to feel the immense attraction from it."

Elder Teng was right. The three sect leaders were all forcibly resisting the attraction of the light orb to them. Their life experience was richer, and they were better able to control themselves.

After a while, Xu Mingxi finally woke up from her daze. Looking at the ball of light, she was no longer as captivated as before, and even a little wary.

"Elders, what exactly is this ball of light?"

"Aren't you Star Crown Sect wondering why you've never seen my and Old Tree's clansmen in the outside world?"

I can tell you, our birth depended on this very fragment.

Fragments? Xu Mingxi was about to ask when the tree elder's roots grabbed the ball of light and handed it to him. He subconsciously took it, but before he could examine it closely, the ball of light actually sank into his body.

The sect leader instinctively grabbed his arm and examined it carefully, while the two elders watched the Star Tree and the Star-Seeking Vine, two soul beasts, with vigilance.

Xu Mingxi shook his head and told the sect leader that he was fine. He did not feel any discomfort, but he also did not feel any fragments in his body.

He looked at the two elders, but only received three words in return: "I don't know."

The two elders were also surprised, and their feelings were even more complicated. They had had this thing for so many years and nothing had changed. How could such a thing happen as soon as it came into the hands of this kid from the Star Crown Sect?

There was no other way, so Xu Mingxi could only force himself to forget about it for the time being. The attraction of the fragment that the two elders had given him was definitely real, and he could even feel the Star Crown Martial Soul pulsating within him.

Just as the fragment merged into Xu Mingxi's body, the two special marks within him began to fluctuate violently, and two soft exclamations seemed to come from the void.

"I never imagined that my elder brother would still have some remains on this continent."

"Hmph, what a lucky kid."
