A vast ring of nebula appeared before his eyes.

Ring after ring of nebular light converged, indescribably magnificent and grand.

Qin Feng counted them. There were a full twelve rings.

The Yihuo Palace, one of the Twenty-Eight Celestial Divine Palaces.

A piece of information automatically appeared in Qin Feng’s mind, letting him know where he was!

Just then, a star flew over and appeared before Qin Feng.

This ancient star was quite strange. As Qin Feng’s consciousness drew near, he could actually feel a force of vitality on it.

In the distance, Qin Feng saw a silvery-white ancient tree.

A Star Ancient Tree.

It was one of the Exotic Spiritual Roots that survived in the Star River.

The tall ancient tree towered into the sky, its silvery-white leaves swaying gracefully. It was a mystical sight.

Beside the ancient tree stood a dilapidated Ancient Temple.

Yihuo Villa!

As Qin Feng approached the star, he was surprised to find himself passing through an invisible barrier. A ring of starlight, so dense it felt tangible, enveloped him.

Qin Feng was astonished to discover that he now possessed a body condensed from starlight. At the same time, the full strength of his Condensing Vein Realm was present within this new body.

’This is a Star Battle Body! Legend has it that the rules around the Twenty-Eight Celestial Divine Palaces were twisted by a peerless expert. Any cultivator who uses Star Power can temporarily obtain a Star Battle Body upon approach!’

As the thought crossed his mind, Qin Feng felt as though he had walked out of darkness and into the light.

RUMBLE!

His body slammed onto the star, and the immense impact caused the ground to tremble for dozens of yards around him.

Qin Feng closed his eyes and activated the Mixed Element Star Technique. Immediately, countless streams of Star Power poured into his Star Battle Body.

’The Star Power here is so dense. Even some Level 9 Spirit Mountains would probably fall short of this!’

A thoughtful glint flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. The next moment, he activated the Eight Desolates Undying Profound Technique. Instantly, countless acupoints and meridians appeared all over his body, and his bones vibrated. The profundity of his Star Battle Body increased more than tenfold.

At the same time, the amount of Star Essence Qi his Star Battle Body could absorb every moment was now more than ten times greater than before.

Following a Vein Condensing Secret Technique, Qin Feng instantly formed three Star Spiritual Veins within his Star Battle Body.

All of Qin Feng’s power returned to this Star Battle Body. The only difference was that his three Fire Attribute Spiritual Veins had transformed into pure Star Spiritual Veins.

’This place is truly an excellent location for cultivation. According to the Mixed Element Star Technique, a portion of the Cultivation gained here can be brought back to one’s original body!’

’However, if this Star Battle Body perishes, it could also harm my original body. At best, I’d be severely injured. At worst, I could become an idiot!’

Qin Feng gazed at the nebula in the sky as information from the Mixed Element Star Technique surfaced in his mind.

The Mixed Element Star Technique recorded that the Yihuo Palace was located in the first layer of nine Star Rivers and had a total of twelve Star Rings.

The Yihuo Divine Palace was in the core, the first ring.

Generally speaking, the closer one got to the first ring, the more dangerous it was, as terrifying Nebula Giant Beasts might live there.

The Yihuo Divine Palace was located in an area of this Star River where the Star Essence Qi was unusually dense. Not only did this attract some of the Ancient Star River Clans, but it also drew in a steady stream of Nebula Giant Beasts like a beacon of light.

However, these beings were not the greatest danger.

The most dangerous were his own kind.

According to some secret information Qin Feng had purchased from the Wind Trust Hall at All Stars Academy, it seemed that besides the geniuses from All Stars Academy, some other prodigies of the Martial Dao would also break into the Twenty-Eight Celestial Star God Palace.

Qin Feng had also consulted Elder Qingmu about this.

It seemed to be related to the origins of the Star Sect. The Star Sect’s lineage came from an Ancient Sect, the Primordial Element Star Sect, but that sect had shattered into pieces due to internal strife long ago.

The Star Sect was just one of the more powerful factions.

Besides the Star Sect, there were several other powerful branches, such as the Sun and Moon Sword Sect, the Celestial Beam Sect, the Ten Thousand Stars Sect, and the Ancient Hunyuan Sect, which considered itself the orthodox line.

The experts of these sects all cultivated the same True Inheritance from the Primordial Element Star Sect: the Mixed Element Star Technique.

Naturally, the geniuses from these sects could also enter the Twenty-Eight Celestial Star God Palace to train.

These people were not necessarily friendly to their fellow disciples from the other branches.

In short, the place was fraught with danger, and it was best to be careful.

Qin Feng looked at the twelve concentric Star Rings. These rings were enormous, actually nebulas composed of thousands upon thousands of stars.

Relatively speaking, the twelfth and outermost ring was still quite safe.

The star beneath Qin Feng’s feet was one of the thousands upon thousands of stars in the twelfth ring.

Qin Feng glanced at the solitary Yihuo Villa, then his figure flashed and disappeared inside. An hour later, he reappeared outside the villa.

Aside from a statue of the Yihuo Star God being worshipped inside, there was nothing else.

Qin Feng’s gaze fell on the giant Star Ancient Tree outside the villa. This was a type of Star Spiritual Root, rooted in the star itself, absorbing Star Essence Qi to grow.

Qin Feng’s gaze was sharp. Although the Star Ancient Tree before him looked exceptionally mystical, its inner vitality had actually been completely devoured by something.

Qin Feng turned around and surveyed his surroundings. The star was desolate. The continuous range of Stone Mountains was empty, and besides the Yihuo Villa, there was not a single other splash of color.

This place was too barren!

Qin Feng frowned and tried to fly off the star. However, his expression changed the next moment. His body could only float a hundred zhang in the air; that was his limit.

It seemed that ever since he formed the Star Battle Body, his body had become much heavier, making it impossible for him to fly off the star.

’Am I supposed to just cultivate quietly on this star forever?’

Qin Feng’s expression was grim. If that was the case, he could only rely on arduous cultivation to leave this star.

If he had to rely solely on arduous cultivation, Qin Feng had no idea when he would be able to leave.

SQUEAK SQUEAK!

Just then, a strange sound suddenly broke the silence.

Qin Feng spun around. A hundred zhang away, a silver, star-glowing monster suddenly emerged from a hole in the ground.

It was a rat, one the size of a piglet, its body shimmering with silver light.

This was a Level 1 Nebula Beast Starfire Rat.

A hint of joy appeared on Qin Feng’s face. A Level 1 Nebula Beast was an Exotic Beast born from the star’s own Star Power. It was also a type of Nebula Giant Beast.

Above a Level 1 Nebula Beast was a Second-level Nebula Beast.

Only a Level Three Nebula Beast could leave a star and roam through the cosmos.

HISS!

A sharp whistling sound echoed as a black shadow pounced at Qin Feng. Two faint, vicious red glints were reflected in his eyes.

The Starfire Rat’s instincts told it that devouring this humanoid creature before it would bring unimaginable benefits.

"A mere Level 1 Nebula Rat dares to ambush me!"

Qin Feng spun around with a cold sneer. He channeled his Primordial Star True Power, forming a Battle Sword made of Star True Power. He gripped the hilt, and with a flash of brilliant light, the blade slammed down on the ambushing Starfire Rat.

BOOM!

The Starfire Rat exploded instantly!

From the remains of the Starfire Rat, a silvery-white wisp of essence qi appeared and shot out in an instant.

It was a wisp of Star Essence!

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up. He stood his ground as the silvery-white essence qi shot toward him with a WHOOSH and automatically merged into his body. As soon as it entered, the wisp of silvery-white essence qi transformed into a warm current that surged into his Star True Power. In the next moment, his Star True Power skyrocketed by thirty percent.

Qin Feng’s eyes widened in amazement. A single wisp of Star Essence Qi was equivalent to ten days to half a month of quiet cultivation for him!

(This is the third Chapter of the day. One more to come.)
