Chapter 1196: Weakened Triple Divine Light Water

Shang Xia realized how stupid his question was as soon as it left his lips.

When the both of them worked together to draw over starlight, they even needed Shang Xia to assist them in condensing extermination origins. The starlight they drew over at the moment couldn’t even be considered the pseudo-Seventh Order power of starlight!

Indeed... As soon as the words left his lips, Xin Lu forced a smile and mumbled, “True Immortal Shang, this... This request is a little too much...”

Shang Xia broke out in laughter to alleviate the awkwardness. “Apologies... I was too impatient.”

“It’s impossible to gather the power of the stars in our current state. Taking the Star Observatory in Star Origin City as an example, we need at least a Grand Stargazer, 3 to 4 Stargazers, and 12 or more Astronomers. We also require the assistance of many disciples of lower ranks. With the 3 of us... Even if we are able to barely make use of such a massive Star Observatory, we can only make use of its most rudimentary abilities.”

“It’s impossible for the Tongyou Institution to possess such a massive team of experts. Even if you got the assistance of the Heavenly Star Palace, you won’t be able to gather everyone required. Without mentioning anything else, the Spirit Luxuriant World doesn\'t have a Grand Stargazer.” Pausing slightly, Xin Lu continued, “Also... Gathering the power of the stars isn’t as simple as getting enough people to work together in the Star Observatory. Even gathering pseudo-Seventh Order power of starlight requires a special method and it’s something only Brother Xiao and Xing Xingtian know...”

Shang Xia felt even more depressed after hearing her explanation.

“It might not actually be impossible!” A soft grunt came from the distance, but despite his unsteady tone, he sounded very confident in himself.

Everyone turned to look at the source of the void and saw Yuan Qiuyuan walking slowly over to them.

Streams of extermination qi could be seen swirling around him, but his aura wasn’t as unsteady as before. He might not have consolidated his foundations fully, but his cultivation wouldn’t regress.

“Many thanks, True Immortal Shang, for the assist. I am truly grateful for your help.” Yuan Qiuyuan gave Shang Xia a deep bow.

Quickly reaching out to support Yuan Qiuyuan, Shang Xia chuckled, “Come on... The way you’re addressing me is a little too formal. Both of us were once students of the institution... Just call me Senior Brother Shang.”

Yuan Qiuyuan thought about it seriously for a moment before shaking his head. “When I was in the Outer Division, I had an instructor called Meng Liangchen. It’s said that he’s from the same batch as you. When I entered the Inner Division, Ju Hang and Zhang Jianfei were my teachers... When I entered the Upper Division, Instructor Sun Haiwei directed my cultivation path... All of them are my seniors... I should call you Martial Uncle Shang instead!”

Shang Xia forced a chuckle and didn’t try to change his mind.

Even though the Tongyou Institution didn’t have a habit of classifying people by their seniority, there was still a general guide that every 20 years signified a new generation of disciples. Those who were within 20 years of education in the Tongyou Institution of each other would address each other as Senior and Junior Brothers or Sisters, but anything older and they would address each other as Martial Uncle or Aunt.

Actually, the reason the Tongyou Institution came up with something like that was so they would be able to relate to the other great powers...

Seeing as Shang Xia didn’t reject his term of address, Yuan Qiuyuan paused for a second before getting back on track. “Disciple heard that Martial Uncle Shang and Seniors have been trying to gather the power of starlight with the Star Observatory, and I have something to say. Actually, I know that it requires a special method, but I have another idea to gather the pseudo-Seventh Order energy.”

“How do you know?!” Xin Lu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in shock. The next second, she gasped with realization, “Is it related to the Heaven Observation Sect’s inheritance?”

Yuan Qiuyuan nodded with some embarrassment as he explained, “This method is recorded in those bronze shards... After arranging the contents, I learned of those methods.”

Seeing the look of questioning in Shang Xia’s eyes, Yuan Qiuyuan continued, “Martial Uncle Shang, you might not know, but after you brought back the Heaven Observation Sect’s inheritance, Senior Xin and Senior Yan passed those bronze shards to me for organization. They didn’t touch them at all! That is why they didn’t know anything about the inheritance.”

Shang Xia raised his eyebrows and glanced at the 2.

Xin Lu chuckled in response. “My path has already been set and the Heaven Observation Sect’s inheritance is useless to me. To be able to browse through the inheritance is a privilege I never dreamed of. If we were in Star Origin City, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance.”

Yan Ming also added, “After nurturing more students and Astronomers... I’ll focus on my martial path again.”

Shang Xia nodded to indicate his understanding.

He knew that those might not be the full truth, but he understood that they were only reassuring him that they wouldn’t lust over the Heaven Observation Sect’s inheritance or risk it leaking to the outside world.

“I would like to say that you guys are overthinking, but... Forget it. Whenever you have a change of heart, feel free to study the inheritance all you want.” Shang Xia shook his head and chuckled softly. He then turned to Yuan Qiuyuan to ask, “You said that there are 2 methods. The first is the secret method used by Star Origin City and there’s no need for more introduction. After all, we won’t be able to produce so many experts in such a short amount of time. What’s the second method?”

Yuan Qiuyuan pointed at the pool of Star Essence Liquid beneath the Starry Tree and mumbled, “That’s the second method.”

Shang Xia seemed to have thought of something and he asked, “Are you referring to the Star Essence Liquid? That’s just a rank five treasure...”

“Star Essence Liquid is a rank five spiritual treasure, but how can spiritual water that is used to nurture the Starry Tree be just an ordinary treasure? Even if we do nothing else to us, Star Essence Liquid is already a top-tier rank five spiritual treasure!”

Shang Xia finally understood that even though Yuan Qiuyuan looked like a nerdy disciple, his ability to build suspense had already reached a level of unparalleled excellence and he couldn’t help but sigh, “What else do we not know? Come out, out with it. Stop beating about the bush.”

Yuan Qiuyuan’s face flushed red and he looked slightly embarrassed. However, he was already a Martial Extermination Realm expert and he quickly regained his composure. Coughing softly, he continued, “There are records related to how to ascend into a True Immortal in the inheritance...”

“Huh?” Shang Xia raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuan Qiuyuan in confusion.

“Hmm...” Xin Lu and Yan Ming glanced at each other, and they seemed to have intentions to leave in order to avoid eavesdropping on secrets like that.

Waving his hand, Shang Xia laughed, “Go ahead.”

Feeling a lot more assured, Yuan Qiuyuan quickly explained, “The records were about the Starry Tree...”

This time, Yuan Qiuyuan didn’t beat about the bush and he started his explanation.

Shang Xia couldn’t help but turn to look at the tiny tree growing in the Star Observatory.

In the past, the tree forcefully produced a Starry Fruit before regressing into a fifth grade tree in order to preserve its bloodline.

After dozens of years, it managed to live on after the world ascension, but it was growing extremely slowly. No one knew when it would be able to become a rank six spiritual tree.

Yuan Qiuyuan didn’t seem to notice Shang Xia’s gaze and he continued, “... That’s because the Starry Fruit produced by the Starry Tree has the ability to greatly increase the success rate of breaking through to the Martial Void Realm, and Star Essence Water has the ability to nurture the Starry Tree. As such, a lot of Alchemy Grandmasters had set their sights on the production of Star Essence Liquid.”

“According to the records of the Heaven Observation Sect, their Alchemy Grandmasters tried countless times and managed to infuse Golden Crow Blood and Emperor Flow Heavy Water into Star Essence Liquid, bringing about a miraculous change. It transformed into a spiritual liquid that is close to reaching the seventh rank.”

Shang Xia’s gaze turned a little weird. Since Xin Lu and Yan Ming were still attracted to the explanation, they didn’t notice his strange expression.

Xin Lu couldn’t help but ask, “Spiritual liquid that is close to reaching the seventh rank... Is this the plan to gather pseudo-Seventh Order energy? However... Does the liquid contain the power of the stars?”

Yuan Qiuyuan quickly responded, “it’s not the power of the stars, but after repeated experiments by their Alchemy Grandmasters, they discovered that the liquid has some sort of restoration properties when sprinkled on spiritual treasures.”

Yan Ming also couldn’t hold back her curiosity. “However, the Starry Tree is only a rank six spiritual treasure. Since its fruit can already greatly increase one’s chances of entering the Martial Void Realm, who would use spiritual water close to the seventh rank to water the plant? It’s not worth it at all! Who’s dumb enough to do so?”

“That’s all I learned from those records. I didn’t know if they used the rank seven spiritual liquid to water the tree...” Yuan Qiuyuan sighed helplessly.

Finally, Shang Xia, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up. “There has to be some people who tried... What happens if we use the liquid to water the tree?”
