From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 278 - 273: Star Sect

The Star Sect, this ancient sect is located in the Inner Sea, very close to the Continental Cultivation World, only a few hundred thousand miles away.

The sect is perpetually shrouded by the boundless starry sky.

Even during the day, the sun and moon are unseen, only the dazzling starry sky shining brightly, with a star river traversing the heavenly vault.

On this day, a silvery-white small star flew from afar, its immense gravity tearing apart the seawater, leaving a deep white mark below.

Li Quanqing gazed at the Star Sect, with peaks rising from the ground, momentarily thinking he had arrived on the mainland, with mountains undulating endlessly.

In reality, these were just a few large islands connected together.

They did not approach rashly but took out a Sound Transmission Jade Plate to notify their emissary friend from the Star Sect.

Soon, Zhou Qingmu flew out from the sect, transforming into a stream of light that descended before them.

"Fellow Daoists of the Li Family, it’s indeed been a long time."

Zhou Qingmu said with a smile, his features handsome, his every movement carrying the composure and demeanor of a major sect’s disciple.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, as agreed, we have transported this star here."

Li Quanqing said, inviting him to inspect the star together.

Although its diameter is not very large, only over ninety miles, its material is very solid and it contains abundant star essence and the power of void and space.

After Zhou Qingmu inspected it, he immediately took them into the sect, where vast starlight poured down from above.

This was still Li Quanqing’s first visit to the Star Sect, and there weren’t many cultivators, making it seem rather sparsely populated.

Remnants of stars were buried in the sea and hidden in the mountains, upon which stood ancient and grand palatial groups, exuding a majestic and grand atmosphere.

A rich and intense star essence came rushing toward them, mixed with nature’s spiritual energy, imposing a great suppression on cultivators practicing different cultivation techniques.

They traveled along with the stars; such scenes might have appeared many times before, drawing little attention here.

Zhou Qingmu led them to the place for forging the Star Skyship.

This location wasn’t on an island but within a Cave Heaven Secret Realm, ancient and mysterious.

When they stepped inside, they felt as if they had once more arrived in the outer starry sky; here, there was no land or sky, only stars floating all around.

There were also many cultivators sitting cross-legged among these stars, breathing and meditating, using starlight for Qi refinement or body tempering, condensing the Star Suppressing Demon Seal.

"Are your spirit stones adequately prepared?"

Zhou Qingmu asked, also using his Golden Core power to help them hoist the star, making it a bit easier.

"Can we use these Void Spirit Crystals to pay off the debt?"

Li Quanqing asked, taking out the silvery-white crystals, magnificently radiant.

After all, the Li Family is an Immortal Cultivation Family, needing to support thousands of clansmen and unable to provide millions of low-grade spirit stones at once.

"That would work; these stones containing mysterious power are always extremely popular with those guys in the Star Casting Department."

Zhou Qingmu nodded, leading them to the deepest part of the Grotto Heaven, where a surging heatwave came upon them, emitting infinite light and heat.

A small star like a mini sun loomed there. Though not as large as the Sun Star, its emitted heat was nonetheless formidable.

Li Quanqing opened his Dharma Eye, instantly seeing a refining furnace standing in the depths of this fiery star.

The furnace, red as fire and glowing with immense golden light, depicted the Dao Trace of the radiant sun, with flames transforming into phoenixes circling in the depths of the star core.

Clearly, this was a powerful Spiritual Treasure of unimaginable grade, whether Fourth Rank or Fifth Rank, manifesting the Star Sect’s powerful foundation.

Dozens of small stars orbited around the furnace, with artifact refiners like ants busily forging magic artifacts, setting up arrays, and radiating colorful spiritual light.

Evidently, these were the forming Star Skyships.

The next process was simple; Li Quanqing and his group met the Vice Director of the Star Casting Department, a Golden Core Perfect Cultivator.

After finalizing the starship’s refining plan and paying enough of the void spirit crystal share, Star Sect cultivators stepped forward to take away this silver-white star.

Thereafter, the Li Family had no more responsibilities; they just needed to wait for a period, awaiting the completion of the Star Skyship’s refinement, after which they would be notified by cultivators.

This process would take quite some time, ranging from several years to a decade, with the possibility of refining failure.

If it failed, only half of the cost would be refunded.

The entire process went very smoothly with no issues at any stage, and no cultivators secretly demanded benefits, acted pretentiously, or were slapped in the face.

Watching the silvery-white star finally being taken away, Li Quanqing couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Indeed, even within the Nascent Soul Sect, Golden Core Cultivators held a sufficiently high status.

"Exploring the starry sky is tedious and exhausting. Now that all matters are finished, why not rest a bit at my place?"

Zhou Qingmu invited, intending to explore some alchemy insights with the fellow daoist before him.

"Very well, we will trouble you for a few days then."

After a moment of thought, Li Quanqing nodded in agreement.

After all, the Star Sect is the Li Family’s superior, so it is necessary to foster good relations.

At night, the starlight above the archipelago grew more brilliant, with boundless starlight almost transforming into a silvery-white Heavenly River, cascading down from the heavens.

Li Quanqing stood in the courtyard of the cave mansion used for guests, similarly drawing a strand of star essence in for silent enlightenment.

This power was grand and majestic, upright and awe-inspiring, indeed the nemesis of the Demon Path.

By cultivating day and night with the power of stars, one could even temper the Dao Heart and prevent the birth of a heart demon’s mischief.

He took out the Hanhai Bowl, using this starlight to temper the magical treasure, also infusing strand after strand of heaven and earth essence qi to nourish the spiritual beasts within the bowl.

This was indeed a Fourth Rank spirit vein, with spiritual energy abundant beyond imagination; just this cave mansion for entertaining guests reached an astonishing Third Rank High Grade.

Li Quanqing gained much in the starry sky, collecting many treasures, then dove into the bowl to carefully organize them.

Among them, ninety-nine percent were ores formed from various star remnants, along with a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine gifted by Li Changqing, and a pile of void spirit crystals as high as a mountain.

After sorting, he fed the spiritual beasts and checked their cultivation levels.

This time, having stayed in the starry sky for half a year was not brief, and finally, a demon beast had broken through to the Second Rank Foundation Establishment Realm.

Rumble!

On the summit of Purple Thunder Peak, the silver Thunder Peach Tree stood proudly beneath the heavenly vault, with endless thunder bursting forth, vividly displaying majestic heavenly might.

"Hiss!!"

The Thunder Horn Python Queen bathed in thunder light, stretching her serpentine body freely, her blue and purple scale armor growing even more vibrant, letting out a delightful hiss as she raised her head.

After Li Kunlun’s baptism with Exorcism Gold Thunder, this Spiritual Python finally broke free from her bloodline shackles and advanced her realm on this day.

Thick thunder erupted, like raging pythons roaring, sweeping through the air, with strands of white air currents issuing from the Thunder Python’s body, finally forming a flashing light group.
