Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

"Let's go. We can do anything. Let's try it out first," Ning Xingchen said, seeing that the others were somewhat afraid.

With the five of them together, Ning Xingchen, to prevent anyone from falling behind, picked up a rope and tied everyone together, leaving each person with more than a meter of space to move around.

Since it's a maze, if you get separated, you might never meet again.

They walked like this for half an hour, and then returned to the same spot. Another half hour later, it seemed they were back to the same spot again.

Once again, it was the same. Every time I chose a different path, I still ended up back where I started, and this maze couldn't be marked.

Ning Xingchen spent a whole day here, but still gained nothing.

While the group was resting and eating, Sword Douluo suddenly spoke up: "If we can't get out, we'll starve to death inside."

"I have enough rations for seven days at most," Sword Douluo said.

“Mine will last for five days,” Liu Erlong said.

“Mine can last for half a month,” Ning Dingling said.

“Mine, it should last me for half a year,” Ah Yin said.

so much?

All three looked at Ah Yin. As the day passed, they all knew that they might not be able to get out of this maze anytime soon, and food would determine how much time they had.

“I cultivate at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and the food is brought to me by the stars,” Ah Yin said.

“With the food Ah Yin brought and ours, the five of us can use it for three months if we’re frugal,” Ning Dingling said.

"Xingchen, what about you?" Ning Dingling asked.

“I have some too. It would be enough for the five of us to eat for half a year without any problem. We don’t need to worry about food. I don’t think it will take that long to break through this maze.”

After Ning Xingchen finished speaking, he released the Eye of Stars and looked at the maze.

However, at that moment, crystal blades suddenly shot out from the crystal wall, like a mechanism.

"The one-day protection period has ended. Attacks will occur at different frequencies every day within the maze, and their power will increase daily," said Xinghe Tianluo Teng.

"No wonder no one passed, so that's why," Ning Dingling exclaimed.

These crystal leaves are extremely sharp, just like swords.

However, the fact that the five of them were grouped together made it even more difficult for them to dodge.

Fortunately, the crystal leaves cut the rope at the beginning, and the positions of the group changed while they were dodging the crystal leaves.

When the crystal leaves stopped attacking, the group had completely separated and each appeared in their own space.

After they separated, Ning Xingchen looked at the broken rope at her waist and whispered, "We must break through this space as soon as possible, or they will be in danger."

Using the Eye of the Stars again, Ning Xingchen could see that these crystals were filled with the power of the stars.

I can absorb the power of stars in the sky, but what about the rich power of stars here?

The Star Sword struck the crystal wall in an instant, and then it seemed to be incredibly sharp, even sharper than Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword.

They were separated instantly, and then the Star Sword seemed to firmly adhere to the crystal wall, continuously devouring the star power within.

"How could you possibly... how could you possibly devour my Star Power? Stop... stop now!" The Star River Heavenly Net Vine panicked immediately, knowing that Star Power was its very source and could not be allowed to be lost in the slightest.

The star power within the Star River Heavenly Net Vine was incredibly dense, having condensed into a liquid state, which the Star Sword greedily absorbed.

However, some of the star power absorbed by the Star Sword entered Ning Xingchen's body.

"After absorbing the power of the stars, the Star Sword is actually helping me to condense its sword body," Ning Xingchen exclaimed in amazement.

He had previously progressed less than one percent in the third step of the Starry Sky Sword Body, which was transforming into a sword body, but in just a short while, he increased it from one percent to two percent.

As Ning Xingchen improved, his body also underwent changes.

"No, my cultivation level will regress!" Xinghe Tianluo Teng shouted, but Ning Xingchen's Star Sword absorbed the energy even faster.

"Why aren't you dismantling your maze yet?" Ning Xingchen whispered.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll leave right away."

Helpless, Xinghe Tianluo Teng had no choice but to cancel the maze. After the maze's effect disappeared, Ning Xingchen discovered that the five of them were only about twenty meters apart.

Didn't they just walk around in circles for a whole day and night?

"Star, you've broken through this maze?" Ning Dingling asked.

Looking at Ning Xingchen now, one can see his Star Sword piercing the crystal-like vines of the Star River Heavenly Net Vine.

"I've already dismantled the maze, can you let me go now?" Xinghe Tianlu Teng asked.

"Letting go is fine, but tell me, have we passed this hurdle? Can we enter the Valley of the Medicine God?" Ning Xingchen asked.

"It's over, it's over!" Xinghe Tianluo Teng said anxiously.

"Alright!" Ning Xingchen immediately tried to pull out the Star Sword, but after pulling it once, it seemed to have no effect.

"Why haven't you put it away yet?"

"I can't put it away anymore." Ning Xingchen said helplessly, the Star Sword had lost control in the face of so much star power.

The Star Sword continued to greedily absorb the star power of the Star River Heavenly Net Vine.

Ning Xingchen's sword body also gradually increased, rising from two percent to five percent in a short time.

"Can't you put it away?"

"Big sister, come save me!" Xinghe Tianluo Teng shouted loudly.

At that moment, a light shone from the forest, and then a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties walked out.

She looked very young, her perfect body covered by a colorful dress, a stunning goddess whose beauty rivaled anyone else present.

Have you unlocked the hidden characters in Douluo Continent?

The woman walked over slowly and said, "Little Star, wouldn't it be easier to cut this vine off?"

"Big sister, I forgot." Xinghe Tianluo Teng may not have participated in a formal battle for a long time, or it may be the first time he has encountered Ning Xingchen's situation, so he panicked.

After the branches of the Star River Heavenly Net Vine broke, Ning Xingchen's Star Sword absorbed the last bit of star power and returned to Ning Xingchen's hand.

At the same time, the Star River Heavenly Net Vine also transformed into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

However, since she has not yet taken human form, she still retains some characteristics of a soul beast, such as a crystal on her forehead that condenses a large amount of star power.

When she noticed Ning Xingchen looking at her, she was so frightened that she immediately retreated behind the woman in the colorful clothes.

Seeing this, the woman smiled and said with a doting expression, "It's rare to find a human you're afraid of."

After speaking, the woman looked at Ning Xingchen and the others with a serious expression.

"Now that you have passed through the clouds and the little star, you are qualified to walk the path of the Medicine God. Once you walk the path of the Medicine God, you will be qualified to inherit the legacy of the Medicine God," the woman said in a low voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, a light screen appeared behind the woman, and then five passages appeared.

"If you want to carry on this tradition, start here!"

This is not a divine test, but an assessment to determine eligibility for inheritance.

Ning Xingchen asked, "What if we can't get through? What will happen then?"

If everyone is to participate, then it depends on whether there is any danger. Ning Xingchen doesn't believe that every one of them will have the opportunity to enter the Valley of the Medicine God.

"Don't worry, the Medicine God is merciful. Those who fail will not be in mortal danger, but they will have to stay in Medicine God Valley as a herbalist for life. Of course, if any of you successfully pass the inheritance, all of you will be treated differently," the woman explained.

"Does Medicine God Valley have Qiluo Tulip?" Ning Dingling asked. Wasn't her purpose in coming here precisely for this divine plant?

The woman in the seven-colored dress said, "We have the exquisite tulip-shaped herb!"

"How many?" Ning Dingling asked again.

“A lot! There are currently immature plants in the medicinal herb field, plus the stock that has matured over the years, I estimate there are about seventy or eighty plants in total,” the woman replied.

Ning Dingling was delighted to hear this, as the number had exceeded her expectations.

If they can obtain the Qiluo Tulip, then in the future, more than seventy or eighty people in the sect could evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

“Star, I’m going to walk this path of the Medicine God,” Ning Dingling said, then looked at Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo said, "I'll go with you, even if it means becoming a herb farmer."

“Sword… Brother Chenxin.” Ning Dingling looked at Sword Douluo.

Within the sect, he was called Uncle Jian; outside, he addressed Chen Xin as his elder brother.

This form of address left Ah Yin and Liu Erlong bewildered, but a closer look at their eyes revealed their relationship.

“Ling, wherever you are, I will be there,” Sword Douluo said.

"Alright!" Seeing the determination in Sword Douluo's eyes, Ning Dingling knew she couldn't stop him.

He turned back to Ning Xingchen and said, "Xingchen, your brother Chenxin and I will take this path. You shouldn't go. If I can't get out of the sect, I'll have to rely on you and Fengzhi."

"Sister, hang in there, you'll definitely get through this," Ning Xingchen said.

"Okay!" Ning Dingling nodded, then walked into one of the passages leading to the God of Medicine, while Sword Douluo went to another one.

After the two went inside, the woman looked at Ning Xingchen and the other two.

"If the cave entrance they took has disappeared, it means they have failed. If you still want to continue on the Path of the Medicine God, you can take one of the other three passages."

After the woman finished speaking, she disappeared in front of Ning Xingchen and the other two in the blink of an eye.

"Star, shall we go?" Ah Yin asked in a low voice.

Ning Xingchen said, "Let's wait for the results!"

We were all tired from the maze, so we took a break.

Ning Xingchen tidied up the ground and laid down a mat.

All they can do now is wait!

However, on the second day after entering the Path of the Medicine God, the entrance to Sword Douluo's path disappeared, indicating that Sword Douluo had failed the test and that the Path of the Medicine God was indeed not suitable for him.

Ning Dingling is still holding on!

The entrance remained on the third day, the fourth day, and even the eighth day.
