"Senior, don't you dislike that this junior is a mortal... I am a handyman disciple, and Senior Brother Wang Qiang saved my life from Tianhuang Mountain..."

After spending half an hour washing up and changing into clean clothes, Li Xiuyuan returned to the library.

At this time, the old man had made tea, burned a stick of incense, and opened the doors and windows that had been closed for several days. A new and fresh breath spread throughout the library.

The old man glanced at Li Xiuyuan and replied with a smile: "What's wrong with mortals? The old man's sword technique cannot be practiced by the disciples of Tianyun Mountain..."

Li Xiuyuan was startled, picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip, and asked: "Why? Most of the disciples in the sect practice immortal magic and swords?"

The old man looked at him with a smile and said: "They use fairy energy, but mine is different..."

Li Xiuyuan was stunned, and ignored the old man's Zen intention, but blurted out: "It's not the immortal energy, could it be the power of the stars in the endless starry sky?"

When the words came out of his mouth, Li Xiuyuan was startled. The power of the stars?

Is it possible that his master, the old Taoist priest, is like this? In his opinion, only the power of the stars may have a chance to compete with the one on Mount Sumeru.

The old man was stunned, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said blankly: "How do you know the power of the stars? Where did you hear this news?"

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said leisurely: "If you continue to practice the immortal energy, you will always be walking on the same path that others have walked... You are moving forward, and others are also moving forward...

"

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of all the troubles on Mount Xumi.

Is it possible that the old Taoist priest wants him to come to the world in the starry sky to find the power of the stars? Otherwise, there is no need to kick himself out of the small world of Mount Sumeru?

Only this explanation makes sense.

The old man looked at the young man in front of him as if he were looking at an uncut jade, and nodded with satisfaction.

He smiled and said: "Yes, it is the power of the stars. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to surpass your predecessors and reach a new height."

"For example?" Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and asked, "Is it related to the five peaks of Tianyun Mountain?"

"Of course!"

The old man looked at him and sighed, and said leisurely: "The five peaks of Tianyun Mountain correspond to the five constellations in the starry sky, and each has a different meaning."

"Why are there only five peaks? Are there two more?"

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and asked, because he had read a lot of books these days and knew the legend of the Seven Stars.

The old man looked at the peaks outside the window, shook his head gently and said: "Tianyun Mountain once was glorious. There were seven peaks. Later... two of them disappeared in the long river of time."

"So, did they ever exist?"

Li Xiuyuan sighed and asked softly: "Why are there no records in the library?"

The old man sighed, shook his head and replied: "Those things... everything in the past is not important, you will gradually know it in the future."

"You just need to remember what I told you now. If you want to practice my swordsmanship, the first thing you have to do is to communicate with the seven stars in the sky, attract the starlight into your body, and temper your soul and body."

The old man took the spiritual tea handed over by Li Xiuyuan, took a shallow sip, and continued: "Only by condensing the power of starlight can the power of the sword be unleashed."

"Introducing starlight into the body? How?"

Although Li Xiuyuan had some guesses, he didn't expect that he would have to communicate with the seven stars in the sky and draw the power of starlight into his body to temper his soul.

In his opinion, his soul is already powerful enough.

But compared with the stars in the night sky... He finally understood what the old Taoist master said, how difficult it was to be on par with the sky.

"How to induce? That is, on a starry night, release your soul, communicate with the stars in the night sky, and see if you can get a reaction? Then induce the star power into your body and refine it into your own power...

.”

After the old man finished speaking, he handed Li Xiuyuan a black stone.

Li Xiuyuan was startled and blurted out: "Teacher, what kind of spiritual stone is this?"

Touching the dark stone in his hand, it was just like the first time he got the Fairy Spirit Stone, he couldn't feel a trace of spiritual power fluctuations.

Could it be that this is the Star Stone?

If the old man hadn't handed it to him solemnly, just based on the density of the black stone, it would be good to use it to make a sword.

"Yes, this is the star stone. There are many such stones on the Xuanwu land, but few people can use them for their own use, because no one can communicate with the stars in the night sky..."

The old man thought for a while and continued: "Because all monks hope that they will have immortal bodies, immortal roots and immortal veins, and then rush to practice immortal spiritual energy, hoping that one day they will practice immortal magic..."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he laughed and said: "It seems that this disciple has no real energy, but he got an advantage!"

"If you possess the true energy of the immortal spirit, you will not be able to become my disciple!"

The old man sighed and said leisurely: "The monks in Xuanwu Land cultivate spiritual energy and immortal energy, but my technique requires you to communicate with the stars, guide the stars into the body, and build the meridians of the whole body into star veins.

!”

"Condensing the power of the stars into the star veins, or turning the Dantian into a star?"

Hearing the old man's words, Li Xiuyuan was startled. He made his meridians into star veins, gathered the power of the stars into the star veins, and cut out the sword with the power of the stars...

What will happen again?

In his opinion, the sword he slashed with the power of the divine dragon was already very terrifying.

If so...he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He just stared at the old man in front of him, speechless.

The old man shook his head and smiled faintly: "Let's wait until you can communicate with the stars to talk about all this. It is not that you can successfully communicate with this star stone..."

Li Xiuyuan calmed down and said quietly: "Since it is possible, no matter what, I want to try it."

"In that case, I'd better tell you the legend of the Seven Stars."

The old man smiled and said: "The Seven Stars are the Qi Yuan Jie Xing Lord, located in the Seventh Palace of the Big Dipper."

"He is the Tanlang Star Lord of Tianshu Palace, the Jumen Star Lord of Tianxuan Palace, the Lucun Star Lord of Tianji Palace, the Wenqu Star Lord of Tianquan Palace, the Lianzhen Star Lord of Yuheng Palace, the Wuqu Star Lord of Kaiyang Palace, and the Yaoguang Palace Po Star Lord.

Jun Xingjun..."

"The seven stars are strength, wisdom, courage, love, happiness, disaster and rebirth... The peaks representing love and happiness of the sect have disappeared, leaving only the five peaks in your eyes."

After saying this, the old man sighed again, as if he was nostalgic for the glorious days of the past.

Li Xiuyuan silently put away the star stone in his hand, thinking that no matter what, he had to give it a try. He couldn't come here in vain. Even if he had to give up the immortal energy, he would still have to fight for it with all his life.

Seeing his silent expression, the old man couldn't help but remind him: "It's not difficult to communicate with the stars. It's just like how you communicated with the aura between heaven and earth. The most important thing is to have peace of mind!"

"Teacher, please tell me. I was very excited after hearing what you said. How can I calm down?" Li Xiuyuan was stunned and looked at the old man in confusion and asked.

The old man smiled and explained: "How to get rid of the desire to have peace of mind? If you have the Tao in your heart, you will be silent. Too many desires are not the Tao. You will be silent, so this silence is very important."

"Where does silence start? Start with less desire, start with contentment, start with the state of mind, and finally start with wisdom. With wisdom, everything can be resolved."

The old man shook his head and said: "This matter can't be rushed. From now on, if you try it every night and try again and again, there will always be a glimmer of hope."

Li Xiuyuan lowered his head, savored it carefully for a long time, then looked up at the old man and said with a smile: "Disciple seems to understand a little, I will try to calm down and communicate..."

...

It was night, Li Xiuyuan sat under the eaves, trying to relax his mind.

He closed his eyes and meditated, but what he was thinking about was the truth that the teacher told him during the day.

The final state of a monk is to pursue the way of heaven. What is the way of heaven?

The sun and the moon shine by themselves without being burned, the stars sequence by themselves without being arranged, the beasts grow by themselves without being man-made, the wind moves by itself without being fanned, the water flows by itself without being pushed, the grass and trees grow by themselves without being planted...

Tao is the root of change. It neither arises nor dies, has no form or image, has no beginning or end, is all-encompassing, its big has no outside, its small has no inside, it changes over time, and remains unchanged forever...

For thousands of years, practitioners have gathered energy to form elixirs, then broken the elixirs to transform into infants, and then derived their own souls...

However, cultivating the power of the stars will either dissipate the true energy of your fairy spirit, or your Dantian will be shattered, and there will not even be a trace of true energy.

Then use Dantian as the center and meridians as bridges to communicate with the stars in the night sky, attract star power into the body, and transform your meridians into star veins...

Li Xiuyuan thought about what the teacher said and couldn't help but feel excited.

No matter what golden elixir or Nascent Soul, even if you reach the Mahayana realm like the five deities, you will still be able to cultivate the limited fairy spirit energy with your own strength. However, the fairy spirit energy that each monk can hold is ultimately limited.

.....

But the power of the stars is to communicate with the stars from the vast night sky, using your own meridians as a bridge, absorbing the power of the stars and transferring it to your own star veins...

Trying to calm down, Li Xiuyuan released his consciousness into the vast starry sky. The stars were shining brightly tonight, which was perfect for communicating with the power of the stars.

The Tianshu star represents the strength he wants to try, the Tianxuan star contains wisdom and is also the first choice star, and the Tianji star is a symbol of courage. Cultivation is to go against the will of heaven, and he needs more courage...

...

Li Xiuyuan secretly thought that he could not bring the Seven Stars into his body because his body could not bear it.

It would be nice to have one. As long as he can successfully communicate with one of the seven stars, he can exert terrifying power, which is unmatched by the immortal energy.

Moreover, the sword techniques used with the power of the stars will be even more terrifying.

Li Xiuyuan meditated, his consciousness drifted to the endless night sky, looking up at the mysterious galaxy, and was shocked in his heart.

Thinking of this, he quietly took out the star stone given to him by his teacher.

The star power in his hand condenses the power of the stars and can help him when he communicates with the stars.
