Chapter 253: Dawn Song, Kunlun

In the Four Realms of Earth and Moon, Divine Palace cultivators are not rare.

But those who achieve the Ultimate Divine Palace are one in ten thousand.

They are virtually unseen by ordinary people.

These individuals.

Each one bears immense renown!

Shen Xi once ravaged across the Moon Realm while on patrol, earning glorious military exploits.

In the Dawn Song Wonder, Shang Wuyuan of the Shang Clan stands alongside Shen Xi as another Ultimate Divine Palace.

Beyond these.

There is Xu Ying of the Chang’an Four Realms.

Li Yingying of the Sea Cliff Abyss.

Xu Qingxian of the Kunlun Wonder.

And many other top-tier Divine Palace cultivators across the Four Realms of Earth and Moon.

Compared to Shen Xi, these ultimate prodigies are by no means inferior.

This is the true reason why Shen Xi’s title of “First Divine Palace of Earth and Moon” has never been officially confirmed.

This title originated from a Spirit Platform cultivator who once praised Shen Xi.

Yet when these beings broke through, they all forged Ultimate Divine Palaces by unleashing the foundations of their prior two realms.

With Spirit Platform cultivators remaining hidden and secluded.

These Ultimate Divine Palace cultivators are the strongest combat forces on Earth and the Moon.

Precisely because of this.

They have never accepted Shen Xi’s so-called “First Divine Palace of Earth and Moon.”

Even that Spirit Platform cultivator, considering the sentiments of various Earth-Moon factions, never formally bestowed the title.

“After returning to the surface, go to the Yingtian Bureau in Chang’an Fu and find Vice Director Zhang Baimu.”

Shen Xi turned his head toward Jiang Jian, “Just hand him that object—he will know what to do.”

Meanwhile.

The door of the Breakthrough Hall opened with a thunderous roar.

Jiang Jian said, “I understand.”

Shen Xi nodded and said, “I’ve made arrangements. When you break through to the Divine Palace, you need not report to anyone—you may go directly to Yinshan and leave the Second Realm.”

“Before you leave, remember to take your identity device.”

He extended his hand, pointing to the pavilion nearby, “I had someone store your identity device there. Once you reach the Divine Palace, you can take it immediately.”

Jiang Jian replied, “Understood.”

“I must go.”

Shen Xi turned away, his expression slightly darkened.

“I have urgent matters left undone—I cannot afford any more delays.”

With that,

Shen Xi stepped forward and his form instantly vanished.

Jiang Jian stood in place, gazing at the spot where he had disappeared, his eyes filled with thought.

Suddenly,

Wei Yang’s voice came from nearby.

“Jiang Jian, you’re out already!?”

His expression was odd as he strode forward, scanning Jiang Jian up and down, his face filled with astonishment.

“Don’t tell me you’ve already cultivated the Star-Cosmos Qi in just a few days!”

Before him,

Jiang Jian withdrew his gaze and did not answer directly, but said, “I brought you the starstones you asked for.”

With that,

He lightly swept his moon-white robe sleeve.

A stone of black and white interwoven appeared in his hand.

The stone resembled a river pebble, its aura brimming.

What set it apart was

The Star-Cosmos Qi it contained was perfectly complete, leaking not a single fraction.

It was perpetually, at all times, at full capacity.

“This is Moon Stone!”

Wei Yang stared at the stone in his hand and could not help but gasp.

Moon Stone is far more precious than Star Stone.

Its appearance is identical to Star Stone.

Even its spiritual aura can only be clearly sensed and distinguished from Star Stone by those with exceptional perception.

“This single Moon Stone is worth dozens of Star Stones!”

“Its value for my unique cultivation method is unimaginable!”

Wei Yang’s eyes trembled as he reached out with his sleeve to take the Moon Stone, holding it in his palm and examining it closely.

“I never expected you’d find a Moon Stone—and bring it out for me.”

He raised his head, his tone sincere, “Thank you, Jiang Jian.”

Wei Yang’s cultivation method differs vastly from ordinary cultivators.

It is closely tied to Earth’s Star Ring and Star-Cosmos Qi.

This Moon Stone

Will greatly aid his foundational accumulation!

“This is yours too.”

Jiang Jian smiled, revealing pale, slender fingers from beneath his moon-white sleeve.

In his hand lay four stones, neatly arranged.

Each one was a Moon Stone!

“So many Moon Stones!”

Wei Yang’s pupils contracted in shock.

What followed was astonishment and delight.

“Jiang Jian, are you saying all these Moon Stones are for me!?”

Jiang Jian nodded softly, “I promised you five—I delivered five.”

Wei Yang froze, his gaze trembling, speechless.

For a moment, silence fell.

Five Moon Stones carried an astronomical value.

It filled Wei Yang with profound surprise and gratitude.

Gathering Moon Stones is already extremely arduous.

Even outside,

Across the Seventy Prefectures of the Surface Realm,

A single Moon Stone is a rare treasure with no fixed price.

Wei Yang did not know that

In Jiang Jian’s storage space,

There were over thirty such flawless Moon Stones!

And

All these Moon Stones were personally harvested by Shen Xi and given to Jiang Jian for his cultivation.

Jiang Jian himself exerted no effort.

“Thank you.”

Wei Yang thanked him again.

He looked at Jiang Jian, his tone even more sincere, “Once I leave the Academy World, I will repay you for these Moon Stones.”

With these stones, his original cultivation progress will surge dramatically!

The original agreement was for five Star Stones.

But Jiang Jian, without a word of extra explanation, gave him five Moon Stones.

He made no mention of demanding additional compensation.

This stirred Wei Yang’s spirit

For the first time, truly.
