Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 104 - 100 Heaven-Reaching Pavilion

"Our Heaven-Reaching Pavilion is divided into seventy-two halls, and Cyan Yang Hall is just one of them." The white-haired elder stroked his beard as he spoke, "I am the Hall Master of Cyan Yang Hall, my name is Qing Zhang, and since you have become a member of my Cyan Yang Hall, you can call me Hall Master Qing."

"Hall Master Qing." Wang Xu immediately saluted, while simultaneously contemplating, so Cyan Yang Hall is merely one of the seventy-two halls, which means Mingyang Hall is also one of them.

"The three major powers of the cosmos are the ’Cosmic Alliance,’ the ’Mercenary Martial Arts Hall,’ and our ’Heaven-Reaching Pavilion,’" the white-haired elder said.

"Among the three major powers, the Cosmic Alliance controls the entire universe’s virtual network system, omnipresent, and is acknowledged as the most powerful among the three."

"The Mercenary Martial Arts Hall is a free-spirited alliance of cosmic martial artists. Anyone who meets the conditions can join, but to truly enter the inner circle, one must complete numerous tasks and earn the recognition of the higher-ups."

"In contrast, our Heaven-Reaching Pavilion is the most low-key and mysterious presence." The white-haired elder spoke, "The initial Heaven-Reaching Pavilion was known as the ’Treasure Pavilion,’ a mere treasure trading venue, nothing outstanding. What truly led to its rise was our pavilion’s ancestor, the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable!"

"The Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable!" Wang Xu felt a chill in his heart. To earn such respect from the white-haired elder, one could only imagine how formidable this Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable must be.

"The rise of the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable completely overturned the status of the Treasure Pavilion, transforming it from a small treasure trading venue into the powerful presence spanning the cosmos today, all thanks to the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable." The white-haired elder spoke with admiration.

"The Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable established the seventy-two halls, each independently formed, with numerous trials. Only those who can pass the trials can truly join the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion and enter the seventy-two halls," the white-haired elder said.

"But not everyone can participate in the trial; only those holding a trial token may enter." The white-haired elder waved his hand, and the trial token in Wang Xu’s space ring floated out, greatly startling Wang Xu. Just how powerful was this white-haired elder to be able to bypass him and retrieve something directly from his space ring!

"Then may I ask, senior, if Void Level or Black Hole Level martial artists come, wouldn’t they easily pass the trial?" Wang Xu asked.

"What you can think of, the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable would naturally have considered." The white-haired elder chuckled.

"This trial poses the same difficulty for participants of any realm. You as a Star Level must pass the Star Level difficulty trial, but if you were Void Level, the difficulty would rise several levels, so much so that many Void Level individuals can’t even pass the first stage, wasting ten years in the Land of Trial."

"I see." Wang Xu understood.

"The first stage of the Cyan Yang Hall’s trial tests comprehension. All secret techniques on the desk may be cultivated, and as long as you complete the cultivation before the time runs out, you can break open the city gate," the white-haired elder said, "If the trial taker has previously cultivated other secret techniques, they are not recognized."

"Of course, for those with less comprehension, the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable also left a method to break through, which is the Formless Giant Power."

"I think I don’t need to elaborate on the difficulty of cultivating the Formless Giant Power. You understand that the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable chose it as the only method to break through precisely to select those with great perseverance."

Wang Xu nodded heart palpitatingly, recalling the time he spent cultivating the Formless Giant Power, as if enveloped in pain, every day was like being in hell, worse than death — he even thought of suicide several times. Although Wang Xu eventually persisted, the profound pain lingered like a shadow in the depths of his heart.

"The second stage tests spiritual consciousness talent," the white-haired elder praised Wang Xu, "Your spiritual consciousness talent is average, yet you managed to utilize the painful state of the Formless Giant Power to enter the Void Spirit State, thereby accelerating cultivation speed. This is something I’ve only heard of, but never tried, your approach truly widened my horizons."

Wang Xu smiled knowingly, feeling pleased to earn the acknowledgment of the white-haired elder.

"Alright, I’ve told you everything I can. Follow the star map I gave you; I await your arrival at Cyan Yang Hall." After finishing these words, the white-haired elder’s entire body dissipated into a shower of light and flew away.

The hall returned to silence.

......

At the same time, on a star unknown distances away from Earth, amidst beautiful mountains and waters, two people sat on the ground with a simple table between them, laid with variously shaped chess pieces.

A white-haired elder wearing a golden crown slowly opened his eyes. The other person, a black-haired man in a purple robe, smiled and said, "Qing Zhang, why did you take so long?"

"I found a junior promising and said a few more words." The white-haired elder chuckled.

"Oh? I must have a good look then. Your high standards for people are renowned in the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, yet you’ve found a junior promising, this indeed is an event worth noting." The man in the purple robe teased with a smile.

As he spoke, the man in the purple robe waved his hand, and a water screen materialized in mid-air, displaying the silhouette of a burly figure with black hair and eyes.

"Haha... it turns out to be a member of our human race. You’ve never thought highly of the human race, and until now not a single member of the human race was admitted into the entire Cyan Yang Hall, so how come you’ve made an exception this time?" The man in the purple robe jested.

The white-haired elder picked up a chess piece, placed it gently on the board, and softly said, "He resembles me." freёweɓnovel_com

"Resembles you?" The man in the purple robe waved away the water screen. A chess piece flew over and he, gazing at the chessboard, frowned, hesitant to place the piece.

"Exactly, I see my shadow in him." The white-haired elder spoke, a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

The middle-aged man in the purple robe shook his head and put down the chess piece.

"You win." The white-haired old man smiled gently, placing the chess piece in his hand, leaving the middle-aged man in purple robe defeated, with not a single piece left.

"No, no! You distracted me, let’s play another round." The middle-aged man in purple robe’s face stiffened, quickly saying.

......

Vanish!

With the disappearance of Bai Xu old man, the entire palace began to blur, gradually fading, ultimately vanishing.

The vast world began to collapse, the blue sky and white clouds shattered like broken glass, revealing the darkness of the cosmos and the twinkling stars outside.

A moment later.

"Here I am!" Wang Xu stood in the void, gazing at the boundless starry universe, feeling the magnificence of the starry sky.

After four years of trials, Wang Xu experienced a tremendous change from inside out, whether in appearance or demeanor, he was transformed, as if he had become a different person.

Whiz whiz whiz!

"Master!" Eleven figures rushed out from Bailan, surrounding Wang Xu in the center, fearing any danger might come.

"It’s okay now, return." Wang Xu smiled and said.

The eleven servants nodded and returned to Bailan to continue their cultivation.

Wang Xu took a step into Bailan, and with a joyful expression, Celestial Spirit soared up: "Master, you’ve upgraded!"

"Yes, with some opportunities, I’ve reached Extreme Star Level." Wang Xu said, "Let’s go back to Earth."

"Yes, Master!"

......

Outside Earth.

"Come!" On the largest cosmic battleship, a towering figure spoke, immediately a subordinate came forward respectfully, "Leader."

"What is the time-space amplitude now?" the towering figure asked.

"Leader, the time-space amplitude has reached the critical point, but it will take another year to reach the full value." The subordinate reported truthfully.

"Good!" The towering figure’s eyes flashed, "Gather the fleet, advance to Blue Star!"

"But leader... If we forcibly break through the time-space amplitude now, the fleet will suffer great damage and could very likely be engulfed by time-space turbulence, leading to total destruction!" The subordinate said worriedly.

Time-space amplitude cannot be forced through, unless it reaches the complete value, there is always a chance of encountering time-space turbulence.

The terror of time-space turbulence is well-known in the cosmos, once engulfed by it, they couldn’t withstand even a moment, leading to total destruction.

The towering figure gazed directly at Earth, speaking solemnly, "I can’t wait any longer, and since the time-space amplitude has reached the critical point, there is no need to wait, convey my order, advance to Blue Star with the whole fleet!"

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, finally could only nod, "Yes, leader."

A moment later, thousands of cosmic battleships, after decades of waiting, finally moved, all like beasts with open bloody mouths, glaring at Earth aggressively.

(It’s the hundredth Chapter, taking only the first step in a long march of tens of thousands of miles. For you all, this is just a diversion that can be finished in less than one hour, but for me, its significance is huge, it’s my first signed book on Qidian, it’s my eternal memory, no matter how it crashes, I don’t want to easily give up like others do. I know the feeling of giving up, it’s easy, it’s pleasant, but after a while, it’s particularly directionless, as if there’s a huge void in life, wanting to turn back only to find it’s impossible.)

(I dare not guarantee how many tens of thousands of words this book will reach, nor will it ever be discontinued, or never-ending update, I prefer to use action to explain everything. This book has had some readers by now, most think it resembles Devouring Starry Sky, indeed, Tomato is my idol, his book once made me so obsessed, spending sleepless nights with my phone in hand, the excitement then, the novelty, indescribable, especially with "Devouring Starry Sky", it gave me a more expansive feeling, so I want to write a book bringing about a world as vast as Devouring Starry Sky, it’s my greatest wish.)

(So everyone, I sincerely thank you for willing to read my book, willing to collect, willing to vote, there’s nothing to repay, only thanks!)
