Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Of course, Sun Bu Er was not the only one who came to give gifts.

Second Senior Sister Luo Qinghan was in the Endless Star Domain and could not return for the time being.

She entrusted someone else to deliver a Taiyin Moon Soul.

This object was the size of a fist, moon-white throughout, with Taiyin Laws flowing inside it.

Fourth Senior Brother Baili Hong's congratulatory gift also arrived quickly.

Three pieces of White Tiger Sha Gold, palm-sized, their entire bodies emanating a bone-chilling killing intent.

Baili Hong also attached a voice message: "Lao Jiu, congratulations on reaching Refining Void!"

Sixth Senior Brother Feng Buhui's congratulatory gift was a copy of the *Taigu Spiritual Herb Seed Mulü*.

This booklet was not a jade slip, but made from an extremely rare type of Taigu tree bark.

Xu Zhangqing flipped through it; inside were recorded over dozens of Taigu spiritual plants, all lost spiritual seeds scattered across the myriad heavens.

Every page had detailed growth environments and requirements attached.

Third Senior Brother's whereabouts were unknown.

Seventh Senior Brother was traveling outside.

Only Eighth Senior Brother Xunxian's congratulatory gift gave Xu Zhangqing some surprise.

A palm-sized wooden box was sent over; the box had no patterns, yet its body emitted a strand of ancient life aura.

Xu Zhangqing opened the wooden box, and inside lay two things.

The first was a single seed.

Pitch-black throughout, its surface covered in fine, dense golden patterns.

A note was pressed next to the seed, introducing the item.

This object was actually a Taigu Divine Tree seed.

It only grows in the Void Turbulent Current zones deep within the Endless Star Domain.

Its growth cycle is extremely long, and it takes Chaos Laws as nutrients.

Within the entire Endless Star Domain, the number of surviving specimens does not exceed three.

Once the tree seed is planted in the Shen Guo, it can automatically absorb Chaos Laws from the void, without needing any additional supply of spiritual energy or resources.

The second was a piece of wood.

Arm-length, its texture extremely light.

Holding it in hand, one could barely feel any weight; every grain on its surface shimmered with green light.

On the note, it was shockingly written: Biluo Immortal Wood tree marrow.

This object originates from Biluo Tian.

The spiritual energy concentration and law density there are more than several times higher than the Floating World Four Domains.

This Biluo Immortal Wood is unique to that domain, known as the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Woods.

This thing would not appear in any auction house in the Floating World Four Domains, because it fundamentally cannot flow out.

At the end of the note was Xunxian's own handwriting: "Lao Jiu, these two things have been in my hands for too long, never finding a suitable master.

Now that you have become the Yuheng Star Lord, I gift them to you!"

Xu Zhangqing closed the wooden box, then put it away into his Shen Guo.

He stood before the bamboo hut, tallying up the congratulatory gifts he had received today.

Eldest Senior Brother's Time Dao Pearl.

Second Senior Sister's Taiyin Moon Soul.

Fourth Senior Brother's White Tiger Sha Gold.

Sixth Senior Brother's *Taigu Spiritual Herb Seed Mulü*.

Eighth Senior Brother's Taigu Divine Tree seed, Biluo Immortal Wood tree marrow.

Any single one of these, taken out, is a treasure that could make Mahayana stage cultivators, even Mahayana stage cultivators, mobilize their entire family property to fight for.

Now, they were all piled up in his own hands.

Xu Zhangqing thought it over and simply rose into the air, flying toward Yao Guang Xing's home.

Since the Dao Zun's verbal decree has been issued, there is no point in hiding it anymore.

Ever since entering the Beidou Xianfu, Ruo Qunshuang had been extremely anxious and uneasy.

She always felt she would not stay long in this place.

With Xu Zhangqing becoming the Star Lord, this worry naturally disappeared.

……

……

Night deepened.

Inside the quiet room, Xu Zhangqing sat cross-legged on the steam cushion, taking out the *Yuheng Star Art* and the *Zhoutian Star Dou Array Chart* from his storage item.

A sweep of divine sense, and the contents were branded into his mind.

The *Yuheng Star Art* is an extremely complete cultivation method; every layer has extremely detailed mantras and operation routes.

Then came the *Zhoutian Star Dou Array Chart*.

The information content of this array formation is greater than that of the Star Art, such as the connection method of the nine-layer array formation, the starlight flow routes between the seven stars, the activation nodes of the defense barrier, the techniques for cross-star-domain attacks, etc.

Moreover, both cultivation methods share a common trait: they require consuming a huge amount of lifespan.

For an ordinary person, just entering the door requires over a hundred years of lifespan.

Thereafter, increasing layer by layer, each breakthrough requires several hundred or over a thousand years.

A Lianxu cultivator's lifespan is usually around ten thousand years.

Therefore, very few people can cultivate these two methods to perfection.

The vast majority of Star Lords only cultivate to the Fifth Layer and stop there.

A minority with heaven-defying talent can cultivate to the Seventh Layer.

As for perfection, in the entire Beidou Xianfu until now, those who can achieve it do not exceed two people.

However, now it is about to become three people.

After all, Xu Zhangqing is not an ordinary cultivator.

His lifespan had already reached an astonishing six million years when he was in the Huashen stage.

Now having broken through to Lianxu, his total lifespan has already broken through to ten million years.

He lacks everything else; only lifespan is not lacking.

Throwing away several million years fundamentally cannot hurt the foundation.

Whether to consume 15,000 years of lifespan to upgrade the Yuheng Star Art to max level?

Xu Zhangqing nodded decisively: "All in!"

Immediately, his whole person entered a profound and mysterious enlightenment state.

Content related to the Yuheng Star Art emerged endlessly.

Unknown how long passed, he exited the enlightenment state.

Yuheng Star Art: Max Level

Effect One:

Relying on the Yuheng Star, the Divine Kingdom gives birth to starlight, increasing the cultivator's mana recovery speed by one tenth.

Effect Two:

Starlight in the Divine Kingdom condenses into stable starlight bands, like an aurora encircling the Divine Kingdom.

The cultivator can convert Yuheng starlight into their own mana; when fighting near the Yuheng Star, mana is nearly infinite.

Effect Three:

Starlight is no longer just light; it begins to possess entity.

The cultivator can use starlight to condense a defense barrier, with strength equivalent to two times their own cultivation.

Effect Four:

Starlight begins to possess spirituality, able to automatically identify friend or foe.

When the cultivator receives an attack, the starlight will automatically condense into a shield, no need for active triggering.

Effect Five:

The cultivator can perceive everything occurring on the Yuheng Star through starlight; Divine Sense coverage expands to the whole Yuheng Star.

A two-way channel is established between the Divine Kingdom and the Yuheng Star; the cultivator can transfer part of the damage to the Yuheng Star at critical moments.

Effect Six:

Starlight feeds back the flesh body; the cultivator's physical strength greatly increases, lifespan increases by a thousand years.

Effect Seven:

The cultivator can manifest the Divine Kingdom externally, forming a domain composed of Yuheng starlight.

All laws within the domain are assimilated by Yuheng starlight; enemy cultivation is suppressed by two tenths, all own effects increase by two tenths.

Effect Eight:

The cultivator becomes the Yuheng Star's "Dao Standard"; even leaving the Beidou Star Domain, they can summon the Yuheng Star's power at any time.

The laws of the Divine Kingdom and the Yuheng Star begin to permeate each other; the Divine Kingdom's scale expands by one time.

Effect Nine:

The cultivator fuses with the Yuheng Star, becoming the Yuheng Star's will.

Within the Yuheng Star's range, the cultivator is the law itself.

The Divine Kingdom and the Yuheng Star fully synchronize; the Divine Kingdom does not perish, the cultivator does not die.

After reading the effects, Xu Zhangqing did not rest, directly starting the second part.

Whether to consume 42,100 years of lifespan to upgrade the Zhoutian Star Dou Array Chart to max level?

Xu Zhangqing expressionless: "To me, it is merely a trivial matter, continue all in!"

In an instant, he once again entered a profound and mysterious enlightenment state.

And this time, the duration lasted much longer.

Zhoutian Star Dou Array Chart: Max Level

Effect One:

The Star Lord's Divine Kingdom establishes a connection with the corresponding star; faint starlight flow begins.

When the Star Lord receives an attack, the two adjacent stars will provide a small amount of starlight support.

Effect Two:

The starlight flow between the seven stars is no longer one-way, but forms a closed loop.

When the Star Lord receives an attack, the remaining six stars can provide support simultaneously.

Effect Three:

The seven stars produce resonance, and the starlight concentration of the entire Beidou Star Domain increases by two tenths.

All cultivators within the corresponding stars have their cultivation speed increased by one tenth.

The spiritual array can operate automatically for seven days without a Star Lord.

Effect Four:

At the Beidou Star Domain Outer Perimeter, a defense barrier woven from the radiance of the seven stars forms, its barrier strength equivalent to five tenths of the sum of the seven Star Lords' cultivation.

When enemies invade, the barrier automatically activates.

Effect Five:

During battle, a Star Lord can briefly borrow one tenth of power from each of the other six Star Lords, lasting one incense stick.

During the borrowing period, a temporary power resonance forms among the seven stars, and the law density of the entire Beidou Star Domain increases by one fold.

Effect Six:

A Star Lord can at any time switch the spiritual array from passive defense to active attack.

The spiritual array can condense the power of the seven stars to form a "Beidou Destruction Light," its might equivalent to a strike from the sum of the seven Star Lords' cultivation.

This light can attack across star domains, its range covering the entire Floating World Four Domains.

Effect Seven:

Can, for a short time, thoroughly isolate the Beidou Star Domain from the Wai Jie, blockading all teleportation, space traversal, and causal tracing.

During the blockade period, all operations within the Beidou Star Domain are controlled by the Star Lords.

Effect Eight:

The Beidou Star Domain is no longer seven independent stars, but a whole.

When any one star receives a fatal attack, the remaining six stars will share the damage.

As long as the seven stars are not destroyed simultaneously, the spiritual array will never collapse.

Effect Nine:

The seven stars thoroughly fuse into a complete Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Array, its coverage expanding from the Beidou Star Domain to the entire Floating World Four Domains.

Current remaining lifespan: 9942969 years!
