If you gather enough starlight during your journey to the Blood Huan Realm and fully refine it, you can unlock half its ancient power—no one below Soul Transformation will be your match.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light vanished, revealing the figures of Prince Xuan Ce of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace and the Azure Lizard King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a wondrous sight stirred even the great cultivator Canghe Shangren, filling him with profound serenity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the golden starlight, no larger than grains of rice, coalesced into a human figure before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eastern Sea Immortal Realm, Mobyuan Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If demonic cultivators infiltrated, it would be inviting wolves into the fold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Canghe Zhenjun bowed again in apology: “Thanks to the Old Ancestor’s intervention, I’ve recovered most of my strength. I’ve brought shame upon the sect—please punish me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, fellow cultivators, follow me to the Reception Platform.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming ordered Wei Wuyang: only those cultivators worthy of absorption by the Southern Wastelands would be permitted entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For among these cultivators were many wealthy immortal families and their descendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire floating isle shimmered with five-colored auroras, its peak hidden within golden clouds, invisible to the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet among the Star Palace, your talent is the highest—if you cannot break through this barrier and fully master the Star Scripture, you’ll find it exceedingly difficult to achieve Soul Transformation.” Yet the moment he appeared, five qi converged above his head, golden lotuses bloomed beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Your Star Scripture still lacks refinement; losing to Tianhen Demon Lord of the Blood Huan Realm is understandable. I’ve heard of him—he’s no ordinary foe. I don’t blame you,” the jade-robed middle-aged man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Rest assured, Old Ancestor—I shall break through my inner demon and forge straight toward the Dao!” Canghe Zhenjun bowed deeply, accepted the replica ancient Star Disc, and withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s even cultivated an Nascent Soul domain and wields a spirit cauldron magic treasure—I barely managed a stalemate with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These starlight specks appeared as if from nowhere, utterly silent—even Canghe Zhenjun, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, could not detect how they materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To the outside world, I’ll say you returned to the sect to receive punishment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They gazed at the nearby Void Eye, as if already seeing another world, their eyes brimming with uncontainable excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianhen Demon Lord listened, his eyes gleaming, nodded thoughtfully, then comforted: “Hmm, this matter is indeed unusual. Seven Sorrow Elder, rest well. The Southern Wastelands Immortal Realm must remain untouched for now—I’ll intensify assaults on other realms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the Southern Wastelands were well-prepared—the Moonwatch True Person seemed to have anticipated us; even the Ancient Mountain Demon Saint of Beiming Mountain arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s demonic Nascent Soul glanced at the crowd behind Xuan Ce—likely his faction’s followers—and wondered why they were so eager, so excited to return to the Dragon Clan’s embrace. “Prince Xuan Ce, no need for formalities. Since you’ve allied with us and demonstrated your worth, I shall honor my promise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these people’s arrival, many rare cultivation resources began flowing into the Southern Wastelands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this man, Canghe Zhenjun moved with utmost caution, every gesture as if treading on thin ice, daring not to overstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dragon Clan? My spirit rice irrigation just got its Jiao blood supply.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade-robed middle-aged man watched Canghe Zhenjun depart, sighed, and murmured: “Alas, the Dao is so arduous…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I hope you’ll use this opportunity to hone yourself and advance your cultivation,” the jade-robed middle-aged man flicked his finger, and a disc-shaped treasure landed before Canghe Zhenjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outer floating isles surrounded the central, largest isle like stars circling the moon, arranged in concentric rings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, how is your recovery progressing?” The jade-robed middle-aged man asked simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the seat of the Eastern Sea Immortal Realm’s foremost sect—the Soul Transformation sect, Star Palace. Within a tranquil grotto atop the Five-Colored Divine Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eastern Sea Immortal Realm lay near the outer seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Canghe Zhenjun, leader of the Tianhai Alliance, stood pale-faced on the open ground, respectfully awaiting someone’s arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mobyuan Island, near the massive Void Eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Canghe Zhenjun hurried forward and bowed deeply: “Disciple Canghe bows before the Old Ancestor!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianhen Demon Lord did not harshly reprimand Seven Sorrow Demon Lord—he could see the wounds were genuine, not feigned. “Great Elder Tianhen, I didn’t expect Moonwatch Island to be such a hard nut to crack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, merely having Nascent Soul True Persons guarding the Southern Wastelands wasn’t enough—if it were to rise, every aspect of its foundation needed to elevate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven Sorrow Demon Lord’s stern face broke into a rare faint smile as he spoke to the Dragon Palace group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, several streaks of light shot from afar and landed before him, bowing: “Seven Sorrow Daoist, we rely on you to introduce us—when this is done, I shall reward you handsomely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t favor you too openly—it would give the other sect elders grounds to criticize me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden clouds filled the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My time is short—the future rests on you, the sect’s younger generation.” The jade-robed middle-aged man sighed, then asked, “How goes the preparation to stabilize the void passage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But once you’re there, you’re on your own—I won’t be able to save you as I did this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though the Moonwatch Island Master is only early-stage Nascent Soul, his abilities rival those of mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here’s what I’ll do: once you’ve recovered, take Prince Xuan Ce of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace back to the Blood Huan Realm to meet an elder of the Dragon Serpent Clan—keep suspicion at bay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a refined middle-aged man in jade robes, with a square face and gentle expression, radiating warmth like a spring breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the group ascended the black platform, and Seven Sorrow Demon Lord crushed a black jade talisman in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum! Surrounding demonic energy surged, enveloping them all; a beam of light shone from the Void Eye, striking their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light faded—their figures vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1510,"2026-06-20T20:44:53.817Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bbf11affb0a5e6a235b26c9fa14a5509788f8ce35261480dff006daf375a4fd1","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-746","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-744",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
