Chapter 585: Sword of the Holy Angel, Six-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform, Ziwei Palace

This was a long, strip-shaped branch, eighty centimeters long and as thick as a bowl's mouth, with purple electric sparks flickering faintly on it, looking quite miraculous.

The moment he touched this branch, wisps of purple electric sparks rapidly spread toward Li Zhangsheng's right hand.

Li Zhangsheng's right hand only felt slightly numb and was not affected much; his current physical immunity was clearly far superior to that of an ordinary Fifth-tier Beastmaster.

This was also the first time Li Zhangsheng had seen such a branch, and for a moment, he could not think of its specific information.

After putting the branch back into the wooden box, Li Zhangsheng took out the *Encyclopedia of Heaven and Earth Rarities* and began to search carefully.

He flipped through it very quickly, but unfortunately, he did not find his target in this book.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng turned to flip through other books, finally finding his target in a book titled *Encyclopedia of Spirit Plants*.

This was a book specifically introducing various spirit plants, including all kinds of Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, encompassing almost all the spirit plants in this world.

"So it's a branch of the Purple Heaven Thunder Wood!"

On the page was a pale purple tree, constantly wreathed in purple electric sparks, along with several purple fruits.

This was another type of Top-Grade Spiritual Root, which, like the Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree, belonged to one of the ten major branches of the World Tree, except that the Purple Heaven Thunder Wood was a Thunder Attribute Top-Grade Spiritual Root.

Although it was only a branch of the Purple Heaven Thunder Wood, it was still a rare Thunder Attribute Treasure material, which could be used to refine Thunder Attribute Treasures, was one of the materials for some Alchemical Pills and potions, and could also serve as a material for a mount.

After putting away the Purple Heaven Thunder Wood branch, Li Zhangsheng opened the jade box, which was only the size of a palm.

As soon as the Jade Box was opened, a strong, milky-white radiance shot into the sky, and for a moment, Li Zhangsheng's room became much brighter.

When the radiance vanished, a miniature treasure sword could be seen floating slightly in the jade box, about ten centimeters in length; the blade was bright, emitting a strong milky-white luster, and a six-winged angel was carved on the hilt, with the two sides of the hilt formed by the six-winged angel's three pairs of wings.

"A Top-Grade Treasure!"

Li Zhangsheng was, after all, a Refining Master; after careful identification, he discovered that this was a Top-Grade Treasure smelted from the bones of an unknown creature.

If there were no surprises, the material of this sword was very likely the bones of a six-winged angel.

The six-winged angel, like the flood dragon, the Great Sun Fire Crow, and the thirty-armed giant, belonged to the Demi-God Beast of the Master Race.

Holy Angel Sword: Top-Grade Light-type Treasure, increases the power of Light-type skills by 50%, and automatically activates the Holy Halo after being equipped.

Holy Halo: Increases the strike force against Darkness-type Spirit Beasts and weakens the power of Darkness-type skills.

Among Top-Grade Treasures, the amplification of this Holy Angel Sword was very average, but what was valuable was that it came with a halo-type skill—Holy Halo!

This was a halo dedicated to striking Darkness-type, and of course, Darkness-type also had halos dedicated to striking Light-type.

This Holy Halo alone was enough to significantly increase the value of the Holy Angel Sword; although it was not as good as the Crown of Thorns, it was still a boutique among Top-Grade Treasures.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng gave the Holy Angel Sword to Bailian to carry.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng opened the third box, which was an iron box only the size of a fist.

This was a fire-red crystal the size of an infant's fist; Li Zhangsheng recognized at a glance that this was a Fire Element Crystal, which could enhance the Elemental Power of fire spirits.

This was the second time Li Zhangsheng had obtained a Fire Element Crystal; last time, he completed a transaction with Zu Yu from the Yecheng Zu Clan, exchanging the Fire Element Crystal for a Tree of Life Branch and the remains of the Moon Elf Royal Family.

In addition, among the people Li Zhangsheng knew, only Zu Yu possessed a fire spirit, and he also had things on him that Li Zhangsheng coveted.

The Yecheng Zu Clan and the Huizhou Tian Clan jointly monopolized an entrance to the Elf Plane, with the Huizhou Tian Clan occupying a 60% share and the Yecheng Zu Clan occupying a 40% share; this news was obtained by Li Zhangsheng from Tian Jingling.

Li Zhangsheng had a long-term cooperation with Tian Jingling, and almost every month or two, he could get a batch of Moon Elf corpses from her, which was also a major part of his expenses.

Now Li Zhangsheng had accumulated two and a half jars of Elf King Essence Blood; if there were no surprises, the next batch would be enough to gather the Spirit Essence required for Kailan to evolve again.

However, Li Zhangsheng also had hidden worries in his heart, because Tian Jingling was Dou Yuanhua's fiancée, and in this Exchange Tournament, Dou Yuanhua would likely be slapped in the face by him on the spot.

As a result, Tian Jingling might be influenced by Dou Yuanhua and might no longer trade with Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng had to plan ahead, and he had already decided to establish a second stable channel for obtaining Moon Elf corpses with the Yecheng Zu Clan.

Taking a step back, even if Tian Jingling continued to trade with him, Li Zhangsheng could still obtain more Moon Elf corpses.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng took out the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform from his Consciousness Sea; since the materials were ready, he naturally had to start the upgrade process.

To upgrade to a Six-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform, it required three drops of Three Lights Divine Water, a Tree of Life Branch, a Wind Element Crystal, and a large amount of same-attribute energy to upgrade the lotus platform.

In addition to these three precious materials, Li Zhangsheng also took out a large number of Star Stones containing Star Power.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng ground a section of the Tree of Life Branch into powder.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng pinched a Seal Technique and pointed at the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform.

In an instant, the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform flickered with radiance, and the flower bud located in the center slowly opened.

This time, the Tree of Life Branch would compensate for the origin consumed by the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform, while the other two precious materials were the root of the evolution.

The moment the flower bud opened, Li Zhangsheng stuffed all three precious materials into it at the fastest speed, only then pinching the Seal Technique again to close the flower bud of the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform.

At the moment of closing the flower bud, the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform began to spin rapidly, with a gentle breeze blowing, accompanied by rich cyan radiance.

Crack—crack—crack—

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng crushed one hundred Star Stones in one breath, and dazzling starlight filled the entire room.

Under Li Zhangsheng's control, these Starlight Powers turned into a star pillar thicker than a water vat, wrapping the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform in the blink of an eye.

The Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform shone brightly, the number of lotus petals increased rapidly, and it began to give birth to a sixth-rank lotus.

At the same time, the Starlight Power was also rapidly digested.

In the span of a few breaths, the Starlight Power dimmed significantly.

Li Zhangsheng frowned slightly; at this rate, the energy required for the Fifth-rank to upgrade to the Sixth-rank was afraid to be ten times that of the Fourth-rank to the Fifth-rank, which might be because the Six-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform had reached the level of a World Wonder, thus requiring so much same-attribute energy.

Regardless, Li Zhangsheng would supply it with all his might.

Crack—crack—crack—

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng crushed another hundred Star Stones to continue supplying the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform.

In less than ten minutes, hundreds of Star Stones were all exhausted, but it was still unable to satisfy the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng had to take out more than a dozen treasures containing a large amount of Starlight Power.

Among these dozen or so treasures, many belonged to the Heaven and Earth Wonder level, and the Starlight Power they contained far exceeded that of Star Stones, but it was heart-wrenching to use them.

After consuming nearly ten treasures, the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform no longer absorbed Starlight Power.

Li Zhangsheng breathed a sigh of relief; if it continued to consume like this, he simply wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Not long after, the Fifth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform successfully advanced to the Sixth-rank, beginning to emit a strange fluctuation that faintly resonated with this world.

Even though it was still evening, a vast number of brilliant stars appeared in the sky, as if celebrating the birth of the Sixth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform.

In Li Zhangsheng's room, a large number of light spots suddenly appeared, all of which plunged into the Sixth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform.

A total of 365 light spots, seemingly symbolizing the number of stars in the celestial sphere.

After all these light spots were absorbed, the Sixth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform began to shine brilliantly, with patterns appearing on each lotus petal.

Four Symbols, Big Dipper, Nine Luminaries...

When these patterns all converged, they formed a small patch of starry sky above the Sixth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform, transforming into blurred Miniature Palaces.

If one observed carefully, they would discover there were a total of 365 palaces.

"This must be the Legendary Star Palace."

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself; he had once seen a description of the Star Palace in an ancient book, which claimed that an inexplicable space existed in this world, and the Star Palace was located within that space.

Furthermore, the Star Emperor also seemed to have a key connection to the Star Palace.

As for whether it was true, who knows.

At the thought of the Star Emperor, Li Zhangsheng subconsciously thought of the Star Emperor Token and could not help but take it out.

Suddenly, a powerful force surged from the Star Emperor Token; caught off guard, Li Zhangsheng had it forcibly wrenched from his grasp.

In an instant, the side of the Star Emperor Token engraved with a silver galaxy shot out a dazzling starlight, which struck one of the blurred palaces located in the center.

The next moment, the originally blurred Miniature Palace instantly became clear; Li Zhangsheng looked closely and saw three golden seal characters written on the plaque of the Miniature Palace.

Ziwei Palace!

If one were to compare the sky to a funnel, then the Ziwei star is located at the very tip of this funnel, with the Big Dipper Seven Stars rotating around it throughout the four seasons; it is also the most important star among all the stars in the celestial sphere.

At this moment, the Star Emperor Token seemed to have lost its energy and was about to fall to the ground.

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, but as soon as he touched the Star Emperor Token, the token turned into fragments of dust, slipping through the gaps between his fingers.

"Could the Star Emperor's legacy be in the Ziwei Palace?"

Seeing such a change, Li Zhangsheng's expression flickered; he thought of this possibility.

Li Zhangsheng watched as the Sixth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform retracted the Star Palace light screen; now that the Star Emperor Token was shattered, it very likely meant that the Sixth-rank Star Palace Lotus Platform had become the key to opening the Ziwei Palace.

However, he first had to find the Star Palace.

Where the Star Palace was, he did not know either, and Di Zhiyi's partial memories contained no description of the Star Palace.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, verify!
