Wu Shattered Star River

In the backyard of a palace, Bai Xue looked somewhat solemn as he said to Bai Jie, "Mother, is Qingluan putting on this act today to warn us not to act rashly?"

"Yes!"

Bai Jie nodded and said, "However... if we can verify that Jiang Han is not the son of the Eastern Celestial Emperor, then we'll disregard Qingluan. We must get our hands on this Zhuxu Blade."

"But!"

Bai Xue frowned and asked, "Won't that anger Qingluan and, in turn, incur the displeasure of Immortal Emperor Qingyun?"

"Now that the various clans are openly aiming to destroy our White Egret Mountain lineage, we'll be in danger without Immortal Emperor Qingyun's support."

"What do you know?"

Bai Jie snorted coldly and said, "You don't know how terrifying the power of the Zhuxu Blade is. If your grand-aunt can obtain this blade, her battle prowess will definitely surpass Immortal Emperor Luosheng. At that time, even if the Guling Clan, Flower Clan, and Tatar Clan had a hundred times their courage, they wouldn't dare to attack the mountain again."

"The current problem is to quickly ascertain whether Jiang Han is the son of the Eastern Celestial Emperor. As long as we can confirm that he isn't, I will immediately report to your grand-aunt and forcibly seize the blade!"

"I understand!"

Bai Xue nodded slightly and said, "Arrangements have already been made. I'll send another message to urge them on."

As Bai Xue left, the fervent desire in Bai Jie's eyes remained obvious. She sighed softly, "Jiang Han, you absolutely must not be Jiang Henshui's son."

...

After the great battle a few days ago, the various clans suffered considerable losses.

Not only did Jiang Han assist in the battle, but Luo Lin and the others also lent a hand. The strength of White Egret Mountain has now greatly increased, and the various clans dare not act rashly.

However, now that they've clashed, they definitely need to fight for a result. The powerful leaders of the various clans have sent messages back, requesting the mobilization of reinforcements.

Therefore, White Egret Mountain has become unusually quiet during this period. The various clans are not attacking, and White Egret Mountain is on the defensive, so naturally, they won't take the initiative to strike.

Jiang Han and Yu Xi have been in closed-door cultivation in their room, while Immortal Venerable Wu Yun is on guard outside.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed!

Jiang Han stopped to rest, his face full of worry. This Starry Sky Array Diagram is too difficult to comprehend.

He has been comprehending it within the Heavenly Beast Cauldron for over a hundred years, but he still hasn't grasped it.

"Should I ask Qingluan?"

Jiang Han got up and walked outside, arriving at the courtyard where Qingluan was. Soldiers were stationed here, and after announcing his presence, Jiang Han was invited in.

Qingluan was sitting in a pavilion in the backyard, drinking alone. Seeing Jiang Han, she quickly said with joy, "Jiang Han, come and have a few drinks with me."

Jiang Han walked over and sat down, pouring a cup of wine for Qingluan. The two toasted and drank.

The wine was good, and it was also a great tonic, making one feel comfortable all over after drinking it.

Qingluan didn't like to stand on ceremony. She picked up the wine jar and poured a cup for Jiang Han, asking, "What do you need from me? My father hasn't returned yet, but when he does, I'll take you back to Qingyun Mountain."

Jiang Han nodded slightly and asked, "Miss Luan, have you heard of the Starry Sky Saint Body?"

"Of course!"

Qingluan nodded, her eyes scanning Jiang Han's body as she asked, "Do you want to cultivate the Starry Sky Saint Body?"

"I've been cultivating it for some time!"

Jiang Han said with a wry smile, "My Celestial Apertures have long been fully opened, but I've been stuck at the second step. Miss Qingluan, do you have any good suggestions?"

"No, I don't know much about it!"

Qingluan shook her head. After a pause, her eyes lit up as she said, "Immortal Venerable Black Jade has an ancestor who once cultivated the Starry Sky Saint Body. Perhaps he can help you!"

"Go!"

Qingluan said to a maid outside the pavilion, "Summon Immortal Venerable Black Jade."

The maid hurriedly left, and Jiang Han was filled with anticipation. After waiting for a moment, a black-faced old man arrived. Jiang Han had seen this old man before; he was one of the Immortal Venerables of Qingyun Mountain.

"Greetings, Miss Luan!"

After Immortal Venerable Black Jade bowed, he bowed to Jiang Han again and said, "Greetings, Deputy Commander!"

"Come and sit!"

Qingluan was quite unconventional, unlike ordinary young ladies from large families, and she didn't act like a powerful Immortal King, putting on airs.

She waved her hand, and Immortal Venerable Black Jade, familiar with her temperament, walked into the pavilion and sat down.

Qingluan poured another cup of wine for the two of them before saying, "Black Jade, Jiang Han is cultivating the Starry Sky Saint Body and has now reached the second step. Do you know anything about it? Can you help him?"

"Oh?"

Immortal Venerable Black Jade was somewhat surprised. He turned his gaze to Jiang Han and asked, "Deputy Commander, you've opened all those Celestial Apertures? How did you obtain so many Celestial Aperture Pills? The materials required for these pills are very difficult to find."

Jiang Han smiled and didn't explain too much. He couldn't very well say that he had cleverly obtained these materials from Fairy Yinghuo, could he?

He said, "I am an alchemist. I was conferred the title of Divine Pill Marquis in the Heavenly Court. I refined the Celestial Aperture Pills myself."

"Oh?"

Immortal Venerable Black Jade was somewhat excited. He stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Then could I please ask the Deputy Commander to refine a batch of Celestial Aperture Pills for me? I have a grandson who is very suitable for cultivating the Starry Sky Saint Body. Hmm... I am being somewhat presumptuous, please forgive me, Deputy Commander."

Qingluan didn't interrupt, just drinking her wine on the side and listening to the two chatting. Jiang Han smiled without hesitation and said, "Refining pills is no problem, but you have to prepare the raw materials yourselves. As you know, these materials... are very difficult to find!"

"That's natural!"

Immortal Venerable Black Jade nodded and said, "I have already prepared some of the materials, but there has been no alchemy grandmaster who could refine Celestial Aperture Pills. I will do everything I can to procure the remaining materials."

"Of course... Deputy Commander, refining pills is hard work, I will naturally prepare some small gifts, I hope Deputy Commander will not dislike them."

Jiang Han picked up a cup of wine, took a sip, and said, "That's not important!"

"This old man understands!"

Immortal Venerable Black Jade stood up and said, "I will return now. My clan's ancestor left behind a cultivation manual for the Starry Sky Saint Body. I will make a copy and send it to the Deputy Commander immediately."

"Thank you!"

Jiang Han nodded, and Immortal Venerable Black Jade immediately retreated.

Qingluan picked up her wine, raised her cup in the distance, and smiled, "Jiang Han, if you can cultivate the Starry Sky Saint Body, combined with the War God Bloodline, I estimate you'll be able to sweep through the Immortal King Realm. Come... I congratulate you in advance on your Saint Body's great success."

Jiang Han gave a wry smile and said, "In more than a million years, very few people have been able to cultivate the Starry Sky Saint Body. Miss Luan, are you that confident in me?"

"Of course!"

Qingluan said with a sincere expression, "You are the son of the Eastern Celestial Emperor. Your father is a heaven-defying talent second only to the Jade Emperor and the Azure Emperor. How could his son not be able to cultivate even a small Starry Sky Saint Body?"

"You can even kill the Jade Emperor's grandson and escape here alive, which shows that you have amazing courage and intelligence. What difficulty is this?"

"You and I both need to work hard to cultivate and improve. When the time comes, I will lead you back to the Heavenly Court, crush the Hall of Universal Brightness, and cut off the Jade Emperor's old head."

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Han laughed loudly after hearing this. Although Luo Lin had also said similar things not long ago, they felt laughable.

But when Qingluan said it, it made him feel inexplicably heroic, and he couldn't help but feel surging emotions.

He picked up his wine cup and said, "Miss Luan has the ambition to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, a heroine not inferior to men. I admire you and wish you an early fulfillment of your long-cherished wish."

After drinking several jars and chatting for two hours, Immortal Venerable Black Jade arrived. He brought the materials needed to refine three hundred Celestial Aperture Pills, as well as a newly copied manual.

He cupped his hands to Jiang Han and said, "Thank you, Deputy Commander. I would be satisfied if you could refine a hundred Celestial Aperture Pills."

Jiang Han put away the Celestial Aperture Pills and directly flipped through the copied book. After scanning it a few times, his brow furrowed, and his expression changed slightly.
