After Pei Jinye noticed the approach of the youth in black, he chuckled softly, his expression inscrutable, filled with playful amusement.
Momentarily, he withdrew his attention.
He was seated, cross-legged, within a small courtyard.
Lifting his head to look at the sky.
“There are still four hours before night falls, just enough time to cultivate this newly acquired Cultivation Technique.”
A thought arose, and the complete “Taiyi Star Mastery Technique” unfolded in his mind.
With just one read-through, Pei Jinye’s proficiency panel for the “Taiyi Star Mastery Technique” had already advanced to the Small Success Realm.
“But only the Small Success Realm?”
Pei Jinye muttered to himself, “Indeed it’s powerful. When I first practiced the “Ten Stars Art”, a single read-through had brought me to Great Success, and yet for this technique to only reach Small Success… it truly shows there’s something to the title of being exclusive to the Xuan Yin Sect’s Inhouse disciples.”
He could hardly conceal a smile.
Pei Jinye continued his cultivation practice.
Infusing the Power of the Stars into a weapon could enhance its lethality.
Pei Jinye channeled the Power of the Stars within his body, constantly infusing it into the sword in his hand, feeling the sharpness drastically intensify.
However…
A slight change came over Pei Jinye’s expression.
The longsword in his hands was unable to fully withstand the Power of the Stars, managing to bear only a mere one-fifth of its potential.
“Is it because the quality of the weapon is too low-grade…”
“These longswords have undergone evolution through the Golden Mother Divine Tree, yet they still cannot fully withstand the full force of the Power of the Stars?”
He cursed inwardly.
Pei Jinye felt somewhat helpless.
“The bad news is, these supreme weapons in my hands are worth nothing in the Fragment World.”
“The good news is…”
“I haven’t absorbed much of the Power of the Stars myself.”
Pei Jinye revealed a wry smile, “Not absorbing much, using it on these weapons, turns out to be just enough…”
“Unless I improve the grade of these weapons… but given this strength, they are currently sufficient.”
With a thought from Pei Jinye.
Seventeen Flying Swords floated around his body.
After being infused with the Power of the Stars, their sharpness significantly increased.
“My Combat Power has again received an effective boost, not bad at all.”
…
Fragment World.
The youth in black sat cross-legged on the ground, his gaze fixed intently on the mantras of the Cultivation Techniques emerging on the Lotus Mirror.
He was cautious.
Not rushing to cultivate immediately.
Only after confirming that there truly was no one around, he pondered a bit before silently beginning to revolve the mantra of the “Innate Blood Absorption Skill”.
Half an hour later, the youth in black finally grasped the Qi Sense of the “Innate Blood Absorption Skill”, slightly faster than Chen Tianzong, but still far from the standard of a martial arts prodigy.
This did disappoint Pei Jinye a bit.
“Don’t tell me this time… it’s another waste?”
Two hours later.
The youth in black began to operate the “Innate Blood Absorption Skill”, sensing a sound from within his body like a small stream of water, his joy completely uncontainable.
“It really works!”
“It really does!”
“That damned Chen Tianzong actually hoarded such a treasure, deserving death!” The youth in black’s expression turned ferocious, “If I had gotten my hands on this earlier, how could I have been subjected to Chen Yongfei’s threats over the position of an Inhouse disciple, delaying for an entire year, wasting so much of my time!”
“Chen Yongfei, aren’t you just relying on having the Thirteen Peaks Master as your aunt? Once I cultivate this treasure to Great Perfection, I will definitely seek revenge for what happened last time!”
…
At dusk.
When the youth in black looked at the Lotus Mirror again, his complexion changed, “How come there are only the first two levels of the technique?”
“What about the rest?”
“Where are the subsequent techniques?”
The youth in black’s eyes fixated on the Lotus Mirror.
But sadly, the Lotus Mirror had absolutely no response.
This inevitably caused the expression on the youth in black’s face to flicker between light and dark, before he slowly put down the Lotus Mirror, murmuring to himself, “The “Taiyi Star Mastery Technique” is fairly good, but when compared to the “Innate Blood Absorption Skill”… the latter wins.”
“However… they only give me two levels, isn’t this a bit too stingy… or is it that the subsequent techniques are incredibly powerful?”
Once his thoughts trailed off, the smile on the corner of the youth in black’s mouth became increasingly uncontrollable.
“The first two levels currently suffice…”
“Isn’t it just a matter of wanting more techniques? I’ll just make a trip to the Scripture Library.”
“But…”
The youth in black resented inwardly, “Going to the Scripture Library still requires the consent of the Protective Law Elder, and right now I’m still in solitary contemplation. I’ll find a time to ask tomorrow.”
…
…
Federation, Central State.
“I have no leads on my end.” When the silver-haired elder approached Murong Jing, there was also a trace of embarrassment on his face.
The matter occurred in their Central State.
Yet they had come up empty.
Murong Jing’s face betrayed no discomfort; sitting at the stone table, he gestured for the silver-haired elder to sit, “Finding clues takes time; there’s no rush right now.”
The silver-haired elder hesitated, then sat back down, pondering as he spoke, “I heard there’s some trouble in the Western Continent.”

“Oh, are you referring to the Old Gods Association’s matter?” Murong Jing looked over calmly.
The silver-haired elder cautiously said, “Could it be that what happened here is related to the Old Gods Association?”
“It’s not out of the question.” Murong Jing shook his head and gestured for him to drink tea, “The reason I asked you here today is for another matter.”
“What’s the matter? Please tell me.” The silver-haired elder inquired.
Murong Jing suddenly showed his teeth in a grin, “I’d like to borrow your head for a moment.”
