Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Beside it, the Star Core Purple Chen Seed had a layer of extremely thin fine frost covering the soil surface.

Of course, it wasn't real frost, but rather caused by the Star Power being too concentrated.

Especially the Purple Chen Seed's stem, which had already grown to half a person's height.

Its entire body was deep purple, with countless dense light spots flowing continuously inside.

Every ten breaths it emitted an extremely faint starlight fluctuation; as the fluctuation spread outward, the surrounding Star Power was drawn over, like ripple after ripple.

In this Spirit Field, the Purple Chen Seed was the most stable source of starlight.

All other spiritual plants needed its output to exert their true effects.

The Firefly Star Heart Grass was the most numerous, occupying a large area of the Spirit Field.

Every single Star Heart Grass leaf resembled a miniature lantern, emitting a soft glow.

The vein patterns on the leaf surfaces constantly shifted within the light.

When surrounding starlight and Spiritual Energy passed by, they would be automatically gathered.

Not only were impurities removed and purity raised, but they could also be transported to other spiritual plants.

Xu Zhangqing noticed that the Star Heart Grass was growing extremely well; the leaves' purification efficiency had increased by nearly half compared to the early stage.

Their root systems and the Purple Chen Seed's root systems intertwined and tangled together underground, forming a dense Symbiosis network.

The Rift Universe Star Pupil Flowers were not many in number, but their presence was not weak in the slightest.

Their petals were currently in a closed state.

Each flower had eight petals; when closed they resembled a tightened flower bud, the petal tips' edges refracting colorful spatial light fragments.

Every short interval, all petals simultaneously opened at an extremely slow speed.

With each petal unfolding, an extremely fine Space Rift would form deep in the flower heart; the rift precisely cut out a small independent space undisturbed by the Wai Jie, locking the surrounding starlight inside.

This Space Rift's range was not large, but its precision was extremely high, just enough to cover a distance of about one zhang around the Star Pupil Flower.

When all eight petals fully unfolded, the independent space's coverage would expand to a radius of three zhang, perfectly connecting with the other spiritual plants.

Locking the starlight so it does not disperse relies precisely on this periodic opening and closing.

In the very center of the Spirit Field, an ancient tree stood straight and Ting Qiao.

Its bark was dark gold, its surface distributed with irregular star-flare patterns.

And every single pattern emitted a faint, barely perceptible heat.

The crown was not lush, but every leaf seemed forged from pure silver; as the Qi brushed past they collided with each other, producing a sound like wind chimes.

The Ten Thousand Calamities Star Marrow Wood's growth speed was extremely slow.

But its root system was the most Critical thing in this entire Spirit Field.

Thick tree roots extended in all directions underground, like a giant net, concentrating and conducting the scattered starlight from different areas to the Core Area.

The root systems of the other several spiritual plants all depended on the Star Marrow Wood's root network, accepting its unified allocation of starlight supply.

Among the four spiritual plants, a complete closed loop had already formed.

The Purple Chen Seed outputs starlight.

The Star Heart Grass purifies and refines.

The Star Pupil Flower locks it so it does not disperse.

The Star Marrow Wood uniformly coordinates.

After the closed loop formed, the starlight concentration inside the Spirit Field was nearly ten times higher than the Wai Jie, and it was still rising steadily.

And the nutrient supply and starlight circulation of all spiritual plants ultimately pointed to the same endpoint, a single seedling strictly guarded by the Star Pupil Flower's Space Rift.

Two cotyledons had just emerged from the soil; the stem was as thin as a silver needle, the front of the cotyledons was moon-white, carrying a faint iridescent halo.

The root system below, however, had spread to a considerably wide range.

Every single rootlet was deeply embedded in the core soil where starlight was most concentrated, greedily absorbing the essence that had passed through layer upon layer of filtration and purification.

The He Tianhe Moon Marrow Flower, a thousand-year growth cycle.

Now with ripening methods, plus the seedling condition being good, it will definitely bloom within a hundred years.

Xu Zhangqing stood at the edge of the Spirit Field for a long time, until the Star Pupil Flower's eight petals completed another opening and closing, then he slowly withdrew his gaze.

These spiritual plants' growth was all within expectations; the closed loop had formed, nutrient supply was stable, no need for him to intervene further.

Afterward, he walked toward the Bamboo Hut.

When the Door was pushed open, it made a "creak" sound.

No lamp was lit inside, but the starlight coming through the window was enough.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing did not meditate, did not circulate a Cultivation Method.

He simply lay on the bamboo bed, slowly closing his eyes bit by bit.

Before his Consciousness blurred, many images flashed through his mind.

Li Sancai serving as examiner at the Outer Sect Spirit Field.

Hu Bugui squatting by the field ridge stealing watermelon.

Zhao Ziyue looking at an empty fish hook.

Chu Qiu standing on He Qi's back looking down.

Pei Mo drinking pot after pot of wine.

Li Lingbi held a birthday banquet at the Water Pavilion.

Bai Ling'er cast the Small Cloud Rain Technique and then left.

Senior Sister Yu stood alone in the snow falling across the sky.

Eldest Senior Sister looked at Mu Ning with a helpless expression.

Figures and images flashed by one after another.

Two hundred years?

No, plus one thousand three hundred years in the gap.

Actually, one thousand five hundred years have already passed!

"Sigh~"

A thousand words cannot match a single light sigh.

The former Xu Zhangqing knew nothing of the Qing Di Great Dao, nor of the Floating World Four Domains.

One mu and three fen of land, a few bad friends—that was all he had.

But now, these things are becoming more and more distant.

The images spun faster and faster, finally stopping on a back view.

In the depths of the Shi Jian Jian Xi, that mysterious back view.

Though facing away from him, the distance between the two kept drawing closer.

Just like that, Xu Zhangqing fell fast asleep.

For the first time in many years, true sleep.

No dreams, only a heavy, bottomless drowsiness.

Like diving into the black waters at the deepest part of Gui Xu, hearing nothing, sensing nothing, his entire Divine Soul emptied from head to toe.

When he woke, it was already dawn.

"Mm~"

Xu Zhangqing stretched, then walked out of the Bamboo Hut.

After resting for a night, his condition reached an unprecedented peak.

Zhang Zaizhi clasped his hands and smiled in greeting: "Xu Zhangqing, the inner disciple, is back?"

Xu Zhangqing's mouth corner curved slightly: "Just got back. What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Zaizhi said with a proud face: "My newly cultivated Seven-Star Borrowing Light Grass has matured."

Xu Zhangqing patted his shoulder: "I'm going out for a trip; we'll talk about this when I return."

Zhang Zaizhi nodded vigorously: "Got it."

Immediately, Xu Zhangqing summoned Kong Ling and rose into the air.

Whoosh—man and bird flew toward beyond the Star Domain.

Xing Mai Yuan Quan.

Absolutely safe, gentle tempering.

Tai Gu Lei Chi.

High tempering, high return, but the risk is also high.

Qing Di Hou Hua Yuan.

The compatibility is indeed high, but his identity cannot be exposed.

These three places each have strengths and weaknesses, but none is the core reason Xu Zhangqing chose the Starfall Secret Realm.

The real reason actually lies in the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

In others' Refining Void Tribulation, the xiuxian zhe is a passive recipient of tempering.

But Xu Zhangqing is different; his Qi Sea has long since fused into one with the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Primal Fire does not burn the flesh body, but burns the laws.

This means that when undergoing tribulation, he is not only enduring the attacks of the Thunder Tribulation, but can also use the Thunder Tribulation to forge his Yuan Dao Foundation!
