Chapter 42

Relaxing his tense mind, he slowly sat down in meditation, regulating his breathing. Gradually, he inhaled and exhaled the abundant water essence from the lake's depths.

A vast black light enveloped his body, the aura spreading around where he sat. Streams of light like water waves gently wrapped around his form, and a vast blue light slowly converged into a stream, gradually being refined and absorbed by the dazzling black light.

Wuzhantian, who was guarding around him, showed a look of surprise. In the boundless lake, the water essence formed a huge vortex behind Jun Wuming, the blue light vortex shining brightly. It transformed into a massive blue moon behind Jun Wuming, radiating a brilliant light and emitting a powerful aura that startled the surrounding fish, making them scatter, and no living creature dared to approach!

The substantial blue light seemed to caress him like gentle clouds and water. Wuzhantian stared intently at the young man sitting in the vortex, his eyes blank, and four words involuntarily escaped his mouth!

"Yinshen anomaly!"

Wuzhantian was shocked. The yinshen anomaly only occurs when a high-grade yinshen achieves resonance with the laws of heaven and earth! However, the number of people who can achieve a high-grade yinshen is one in ten thousand!

Cultivating the body, cultivating qi, cultivating the soul, cultivating sha, and yinshen—these five stages of the yinshen realm are not something ordinary strong people can achieve. This time, Jun Wuming had a great opportunity, using the essence of the cave to cultivate his soul and the water element's destructive sha qi to cultivate the foundation of the yinshen. Now, the primordial fetus was about to be fully formed, and it was a natural progression.

If the second stage of the four realms is the amniotic sac of the yinshen, then the third stage of cultivating the soul is the spiritual pivot of the yinshen, and the fourth stage of cultivating sha is the limbs of the yinshen, with every movement possessing immeasurable power, relying on the protective sha qi for defense and cultivation.

The yinshen is like a divine palace, divided into nine grades: lower, middle, and upper. This time, Jun Wuming inadvertently achieved the upper-grade Ziri天河神府 from the essence of the cave, and before he could fully comprehend its subtle power, he had already advanced to the fourth stage of cultivating sha.

Although he did not feel any difference from other upper-grade divine palaces, Jun Wuming was certain that the power of his Ziri天河神府 to store magical energy was far superior to other types of divine palaces. At least, Jun Wuming had never heard of any divine palace that could contain the magical energy of a stream several hundred feet long!

Slowly opening his eyes, the night had already fallen, the moon high in the sky, and a clear, bright full moon shone with the light of the Taiyin star, the stars in the sky emitting countless rays of light, appearing peaceful, natural, and bright under the dark night sky.

Looking at the distant stars radiating light, a hint of joy flashed in Jun Wuming's eyes! The time had come!

He instructed You You, who had returned from hunting, and Wuzhantian, who was standing guard at the door, to follow him. Transforming into a black light, he emerged from the water, his feet touching the surface.

Crack! Crack!

Cold energy spread outward, and ice spikes instantly extended across the lake, shimmering with a cold, eerie light.

He gently sat down in a cross-legged position, calling the snake and the turtle to guard the surroundings to prevent any external demons from intruding!

He then closed his eyes and entered meditation, his mind as vast as the void, his thoughts transcending the heavens. He carefully sensed the mysteries of the boundless stars in the sky, silently reciting the spell, his mind merging with the heavens and earth.

As Jun Wuming closed his eyes, a gentle silver light slowly gathered around him.

As time passed, a layer of silver light gathered around the young man sitting cross-legged, the dense silver-white starlight gradually forming a sea around Jun Wuming.

It was as if Jun Wuming were a massive meteor, the boundless light undulating around him. The young man in the silver light seemed to transform into an ancient star lord, with endless nebulae forming behind him. The starlight seemed to merge intimately with the young man, undulating with his breathing, as if the starlight in the sky was born and extinguished according to his will. With each breath, the birth and destruction of stars were played out in the nebulae.

Suddenly, a vast cosmic star sea formed in the dark void, radiating boundless starlight and light, and a powerful will of heaven and earth pressed down.

Still in deep meditation, his mind and spirit as one, he did not resist this vast will of heaven and earth. His thoughts arose from his heart, adapting to the heavens and transforming into formlessness, like a gentle breeze, drifting with the pressure.

His mind followed a cool, water-like starlight and suddenly rushed into the star sea!

In an instant, he traversed thousands of miles in this star sea. Jun Wuming's mind seemed to be a ray of light, moving instantly across billions of miles, leaving him amazed!

His mind slowly spread, and the starlight intensified. Suddenly, an endless cold aura, like a Taiyin dragon, swept toward him. Jun Wuming's mind was greatly alarmed, and before he could react, he instinctively turned and transformed into a black light, darting away.

He narrowly avoided the bright, massive star radiating endless cold starlight. This was the Taiyin Star, extremely cold and not a good match.

Jun Wuming smiled bitterly, standing firm in a distant place, gazing at the ancient, bright silver star and sighing. The Taiyin Star was extremely cold and not suitable for cultivators like him, who were rich in innate yang energy!

Following the vast will of heaven and earth, he drifted again. Soon, a scorching starlight, like a massive sun, burst forth, and rolling flames seemed to form a huge fire sun! A star of extreme yang! He smiled helplessly, his spiritual sense transforming into wind, and he avoided it again. The extreme yang energy was too intense and clashed with water-element cultivators like Jun Wuming!

The starlight drifted, and he passed by the mysterious Ketu Star, the noble Tianfu Star, the greedy and arrogant Tianlang Star, the murderous Tiansha Star, and countless other stars.

Suddenly, a massive purple star slowly appeared in the sky, its bright purple light majestic and grand, exuding a supreme aura.

"The Ziwēi Star?"

Overjoyed, he urged his mind! His mind flew, transforming into light, and he rushed toward the Ziwēi Star.

The purple light was vast and continuous, like a noble, ancient purple sun, massive and dazzling. The black light sped, covering billions of miles in an instant, about to approach this ancient, supreme star!

Suddenly, boundless purple light erupted, like a solar storm in the sun. Endless purple waves of light radiated, and the surging purple starlight formed a huge wave, instantly pushing away the black starlight.

Before Jun Wuming could react, a massive pulling force descended, sweeping away the black light and enveloping it.

Jun Wuming felt dizzy and disoriented, his soul spinning, and everything became vague.

He did not know how long it had been or where he had arrived.

When he came to, Jun Wuming suddenly found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.

It was also a large star, though not as supreme and noble as the main star of the destiny palace, but it was vast and boundless, with a vast, gentle starlight that carried a sense of dignity and weight.

Suddenly, a thick, towering silver light pillar rose from the starlight sea, and a point of silver light emerged from the star pillar, rising into the air as if crossing time and space, instantly merging with Jun Wuming's dazed mind.

In an instant, in the ancient, unchanging universe, a large star in the northern star region emitted a surge of silver light, the starlight as bright as a full moon, illuminating the sky, and then quickly fading, as if the sudden surge of starlight had never existed, leaving no trace.

At this moment, a great change also occurred in the space of Jun Wuming's Ziri天河神府!

Receiving the essence of the silver star, the divine palace suddenly radiated a bright light, and a point of starlight, like a sun, instantly formed a slightly dim silver star in the space of the divine palace.

At the same time, six streams of light flew over, and six more slightly illusory stars appeared in the sky of the divine palace.

The seven mysterious stars slowly rotated, forming a huge silver spoon, slowly moving. They revolved around the purple yinshen sun in the black water river of the divine palace, forming a mysterious array, slowly absorbing the naturally generated purple aura in the divine palace, emitting a powerful aura like a huge divine mountain or an ancient star, suppressing all directions!

With a slight movement of his mind, a golden palace emitting a golden light suddenly appeared in a certain place in the divine palace, slowly descending to the first dim star among the seven stars.

It stabilized the slightly floating star, replacing Jun Wuming's mind in suppressing the area.

Slowly opening his eyes, Jun Wuming frowned, sighing inwardly, ultimately falling short by a step.

The first sentence of the Star Destiny mentioned condensing one's own destiny star, using the star to represent one's destiny and suppress one's fate.

The stars are modeled after the North Star, so only the northern stars can be sought. In terms of position, the Ziwēi Star is the main star of the northern stars, the emperor of the heavens, and naturally Jun Wuming's first choice.

In fact, the purple ancient star that appeared in the star sea of his mind was the Ziwēi Star. When Jun Wuming tried to approach it, he did not expect that it was precisely the time when the seven stars were shifting.

The seven stars working together, the other stars giving way. Jun Wuming's mind, coincidentally colliding with the star sea, was instantly engulfed by a star storm, merging into the essence of the seven stars, and the essence star was chosen!

The Big Dipper is the guardian of the North Star, the general of the heavens. Although its power is formidable, it is still inferior to the supreme Ziwēi Star. Although Jun Wuming chose the seven main stars of the Big Dipper this time, the combined power of the seven stars might not be inferior to other ancient main stars!

Thus, the Star Destiny that Jun Wuming was now cultivating could also be called the Big Dipper Divine Number. If Jun Wuming had chosen the Ziwēi Star as his essence destiny star, it could have been called the Ziwēi Divine Number, but unfortunately, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and he fell short at the last moment!

Silently using the newly formed Big Dipper Divine Number secret technique, he summoned the seven illusory stars in the divine palace!

Vast silver Big Dipper star power from the sky fell like a waterfall, surrounding the young man sitting cross-legged, the silver starlight shining, illuminating the area around him like daylight.

The starlight slowly entered the body of the young man sitting cross-legged. In the divine palace, the dim silver star gradually lit up, and streams of silver light slowly emerged from the star, forming a large star ring in the purple space, appearing slightly cold and bright.

With a slight flick of his finger, *puff*!

Red light spread, and a bright red light suddenly appeared in the silver light!

He used the cold energy in his body to cut his fingertip. Two drops of purple-red blood, like crystal gems, instantly flew out!

*Whoosh* *Whoosh*!

As if they had a will of their own, the two gem-like essence blood droplets flew around Jun Wuming, the sound of breaking air causing ripples in the air, trying to return to his body!
