Chapter 1062: Skins and Bones

Huang Jinghan nodded in agreement. “If we want to send experts out to patrol the sea of stars, not only do we need even sturdier Star Ships, we also need many Martial Dipper Realm experts on board each ship. Star Origin City and the other Spirit Worlds might have the capabilities to send out many Star Ships while even stationing Martial Void Realm True Immortals on some of them, but we can’t do that! Even if we wanted to, how many Star Ships can we gather? As for cultivators in the Martial Dipper Realm... The various factions managed to produce some of them but they are still considered rare existences. It’s difficult for us to send experts out to patrol the sea of stars.”

Zhang Xuansheng spoke suddenly, “No matter what, we have to do it. Sudden attacks like this won’t be too rare in the future and today, we were able to react quickly because all of us were gathered to deal with the matter of the Heavenly Star Palace. In the future, we might not be gathered together like this. If a few of us head out in the future and fail to return in time, the results might be catastrophic!”

Everyone agreed with Zhang Xuansheng’s point of view. This time, even though the invasion of Star Beasts caught them off guard, they wouldn’t be able to succeed. However, sudden attacks like that might cause great damage to the heavenly screen if the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World couldn’t react quickly.

One had to know that along with the overall upgrade of the martial inheritance of the Spirit Luxuriant World and their increased interaction with other worlds, they were no longer the same as before. They were a lot more prosperous with many giant land masses floating outside the heavenly screen with Star Ships docked around them.

All sorts of resources, goods, and deals took place in those land masses. There were even massive black markets that formed. The land masses outside the heavenly screen were getting busier as they gathered considerable wealth.

If those markets were attacked and destroyed, they would have a huge negative impact on the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Li Jidao muttered in a low voice, “That’s not all. They would be able to discover tracks of other worlds we sent our experts to patrol the sea of stars. Even though the possibility of that is small, it’s not impossible. Moreover, there are a lot of opportunities in the vast sea of stars and high level treasures. All we need is a chance to discover them.”

When the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World discussed among themselves, close to 10 Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Heavenly Star Palace arrived above the heavenly screen. They started to draw on the power of the starlight they drew over to launch a massive offensive against the Star Beasts.

Star Beasts were able to roam the vast sea of stars, and other than their innate talent, they had abilities comparable to the Martial Extermination Realm at the very least.

Because they had to travel through the vast sea of stars, they had much sturdier physical bodies and larger energy reserves. Fighting a rank four Star Beast was taxing even for a Martial Dipper Realm expert.

It didn’t take long for the ten or so pack of Star Beasts to start pushing out of the encirclement.

Even if Yin Jingxu had the support of the powerful starlight from the vast sea of stars and possessed combat strength in the Martial Void Realm, facing the largest rank five Star beast, he was able to maintain the upper hand and constantly injure the creature, but it was difficult to obtain victory in one proper strike. All he received was the screams and yells of the Star Beast.

The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World weren’t the only ones above the heavenly screen. Other high-level experts had already discovered what was happening and had arrived above the heavenly screen.

One had to say that ever since the ascension of the Spirit Luxuriant World, they had been attacked too many times. They were already ready to resist any sort of invasion.

However, the situation was clearly different at the moment and seemed pretty strange.

The Heavenly Star Palace seemed to be in a pretty bad spot, but the True Immortals around weren’t just standing at the side to watch. They concealed their aura well and didn’t disturb the Star Beasts in the slightest. In fact, all of them seemed entertained by what they were seeing.

Did the Heavenly Star Palace offend every single True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World?!

That was the thought that ran through the minds of those present. Many cultivators couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath and praised the Heavenly Star Palace in their minds for that amazing feat if they managed to achieve it.

Even so, there were several experts who had some friendship with the Heavenly Star Palace who moved to help. They worked up their courage and rushed over to resist the invasion of the Star Beasts.

Those who were still watching saw that the True Immortals didn’t seem to care that people were helping and another batch of experts who were friendly with the Heavenly Star Palace joined.

It was also then that Yin Jingxu burst forth with extraordinary power and 9 star disks crashed into the massive body of the rank five Star beast. It quickly destroyed the insides of the beasts.

In the void, Shang Xia nodded slightly to indicate his approval of Yin Jingxu’s method of killing the beast.

If he didn’t receive the assistance from the Star Observatory, his strength at the grand completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm would be comparable to Huang Jinghan, Yifeng, Jiu Du, of the past!

“Looks like the Heavenly Star Palace managed to pass through this test. It won’t be long when the 6 great powers of the Spirit Luxuriant World will become the 7 great powers...” Shang Xia muttered softly to Kou Chongxue beside him.

“So what if we become the 10 great powers? The key to our Spirit Luxuriant World growing stronger is the number of Elysiums! Even if a faction possesses a Martial Void Realm True Immortal, they wouldn’t be able to maintain their inheritances without an Elysium and everything will return to dust eventually...” Kou Chongxue’s clone spoke softly. “The Spirit Abundance World has 9 great Elysiums and the Spirit Mammoth World also has 9... I don’t think that’s a coincidence! I’m afraid the maximum number of Elysiums a world can produce is 9 and that should also be one of the requirements for a Spirit World to ascend.”

Shang Xia nodded slightly in response. Just as he was about to say something, he discovered something in the range of his divine soul. He saw Ren Huan waving anxiously at him while standing among other high-level experts of the Tongyou Institution in the distance.

“What’s the matter?” Shang Xia’s voice rang clearly in his ears after passing through the chaotic battlefield.

“Beast skin! The skin of Star Beasts is an extremely suitable material to craft high-level talisman paper!” Ren Huan gasped anxiously.

After Yin Jingxu killed a rank five Star Beast, the other members of the Heavenly Star Palace also managed to deal with some of them. Ren Huan quickly set his sights on one of the smaller beasts and managed to detect how useful the corpse of the beast would be.

Afraid that Shang Xia wouldn’t take too much notice of it, Ren Huan couldn’t help but remind again, “The skin of a Star Beast can be used to make talisman paper directly!”

What did that mean?!

That meant that the skin of a rank four Star Best would be able to be used as talisman paper without much processing! Wouldn’t that mean that... The skin of rank five Star Beasts would become rank five talisman paper? That would also mean that the skin of rank six Star Beasts...

Even though rank four talisman paper was nothing to Shang Xia at the moment, the same couldn’t be said for rank five talisman paper! If that was a rank six beast... Shang Xia would be tempted to make his move!

“The bones, the bones too!” Ren Huan’s panicky voice rang in Shang Xia’s mind again. “The White Bone Brush... The bone seems really similar to the material used to make the White Bone Brush!”

“What?!” Shang Xia turned his head to look at the rank five Star Beast. A flash of greed could be seen in his eyes.

At that very instant, Shang Xia, whose aura was concealed the best among all of them, failed to restrain it because of what Ren Huan said.

The moment the aura of a True Immortal emerged, the remaining Star Beasts felt their bodies trembling in fright.

The other True Immortals also turned to look at him.

9 remaining Star Beasts turned around in unison as they forcefully resisted the attacks of those around before attempting to escape.

Anggg...

A strange cry that was loud, but not too loud, rang from the depths of space as it was rebuking the beasts for turning to run. It also seemed to be challenging Shang Xia after discovering his aura.

That definitely came from a rank six Star Beast...

The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World instantly knew what was going on. The pack of Star Beasts who came to attack was only a part of a larger group. The rank six Star Beast was the leader of the entire pack!

As for how the smaller group appeared... They probably weren’t drawn over by the starlight gathered by the Heavenly Star Palace! The rank six Star Beast most likely discovered traces of starlight before bringing its entire pack over to the Spirit Luxuriant World by traveling through space!

“Hehe... It’s good that it came! Fellow cultivators, that Star Beast belongs to me! I hope you won’t fight over it with a junior like me!” The light in Shang Xia’s eyes grew brighter and he seemed to be able to see the giant beast hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Actually, what Shang Xia was looking at wasn’t really the rank six Star Beast. He seemed to be looking at sheets of rank six talisman paper and high-grade, or even divine grade talisman brushes!

Liu Jingsheng clapped and laughed, “All of us are looking forward to seeing True Immortal Little Shang show your moves!”

“I’m afraid it’s not going to be easy to cross the distance between us...” Li Jidao muttered.

Chuckling softly, Shang Xia’s figure disappeared from his spot above the heavenly screen. All that was left was his voice that rang in their minds. “Fellow cultivators, please wait for a moment. I’ll be right back.”
