Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5359 Wind Spirit Violet Crystal



Chapter 5359 Wind Spirit Violet Crystal

Long Chen spread his divine sense, doing his best to avoid the senses of the surrounding devil creatures. If he couldn’t avoid them, he would instantly kill them to prevent alerting other devil creatures.

Moving swiftly, Long Chen felt a growing sensation of being summoned by something. He wasn’t sure what the Radiant World Star Crystal was, but the pull he felt made it clear that it was connected to his Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.

As Long Chen ventured deeper, the concentration of the devil creatures increased. This place was the hive of the Fiend Wind Blood Devils, and even Long Chen had no choice but to proceed with caution. Soon, he came across a sparkling mountain entirely made of crystalline ore.

“Heavens, those are all wind spirit stones!” Long Chen was completely shocked to realize that those sparkling crystals in the mountain were wind spirit stones.

This was an enormous wind spirit stone vein, yet it wasn’t marked on Tang Wan-er’s map. It was likely that the higher-ups of the Wind God Spirit Pavilion had deliberately kept it hidden, fearing that their disciples wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of coming here to take some of it. After all, this was the heart of the Fiend Wind Blood Devils’ hive, and stealing from right under their noses was no different from courting death.

Now, Long Chen understood why the Fiend Wind Blood Devils had chosen this spot for their hive. Being wind element creatures, cultivating here would greatly enhance their growth and power.

Long Chen proceeded cautiously, but suddenly, a disturbance made him freeze in his tracks.

There’s someone there?

To his surprise, Long Chen saw a short, fat humanoid figure in strange clothes that fully covered its body. Despite their odd appearance, the figure moved swiftly and stealthily, making for a comical sight.

Clay Jar?

Long Chen guessed it might be Bu Qingyan, based on the figure’s unique build. Though its face was hidden and its aura concealed, he couldn’t shake the feeling that it was her.

Is she after the wind spirit stones too? Long Chen wondered. But before he could dwell on it, Bu Qingyan headed deeper into the hive, moving within mere meters of the blood devils without being detected.

How strange, she’s definitely up to something… But I have my own business

Long Chen was not interested in her motives. After all, he was in a rush to find the Radiant World Star Crystal.

Bu Qingyan had clearly come prepared, using an invisibility cloak to hide from the blood devils. Long Chen, however, didn’t have such an invisibility cloak, so he didn’t dare to get too close to the blood devils. It was only with great difficulty that he arrived at the foot of the mountain. Here, the pull was particularly strong, and the starry sea in his Dantian also reacted intensely.

After finding a secluded area, Long Chen set up formations to conceal himself and slowly circulated his astral energy in an attempt to connect with the Radiant World Star Crystal. His divine sense followed the astral energy deep into the mountain, revealing layers of rock embedded with sparkling wind spirit crystals.

As he had suspected, the entire mountain was a massive wind spirit stone vein. The deeper he probed, the higher the quality of the stones. Eventually, he began seeing violet wind spirit crystals—top-grade wind spirit stones. Even though he wasn’t a wind cultivator, the sight excited him.

His divine sense went deeper, and the violet wind spirit stones grew more common until he saw violet wind spirit stones everywhere. He felt a chill run over him. Now, he had the urge to dig out this entire mountain.

When his divine sense penetrated a thick crystalline layer, a beautiful world appeared before his eyes. This was an unimaginably huge space. Within it, he saw a starry river flowing, which filled this world with wondrous divine light. He felt like he was floating within a starry river.

This was not a real starry river but a projection of light. At the heart of this space was a fist-sized crystal.

Long Chen’s starry sea stirred in response, and his astral energy surged uncontrollably. Startled, he suppressed his aura to avoid alerting the blood devils, but the starry sea within him continued to boil with desire for the crystal.

The crystal, in turn, seemed drawn to him, pulsing with energy that made the entire mountain tremble.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Stop!” Long Chen used his soul to calm the crystal, which responded to his emotions and slowly settled down, giving him a chance to examine it closer.

The crystal was translucent, and inside, a miniature starry river swirled like a cosmos. Long Chen was shaken by its boundless power, feeling like a mere speck of dust in comparison.

The sight of the swirling starry sea was like a bolt of lightning striking Long Chen’s mind. It felt like he had comprehended something, but when he tried to think of it, he couldn’t quite grasp it. 

Reaching out instinctively, he was interrupted by the Earth Cauldron’s urgent voice.

“Are you suicidal?! Even if you only use your will to touch it, its power is enough to wipe you out a thousand times over.”

At this moment, Long Chen was in his spiritual form, not his true body. However, he didn’t expect that he couldn’t even touch it. 

Long Chen hastily asked, “Then what should I do?”

“Use your astral energy to commune with it. Place your astral seal on it and then draw it into the primal chaos space. Right now, you can’t touch it—it’s a masterless object and will attack anything that tries,” advised the Earth Cauldron.

Long Chen obediently followed the Earth Cauldron’s suggestion. Using the starry sea in his Dantian, he tried forming a resonance with the Radiant World Star Crystal. His Spiritual Strength served as a bridge between them. 

Once he was on the right frequency, he started carefully placing his spiritual seal on the crystal, infusing it with astral energy. After what felt like an eternity, Long Chen successfully imprinted a three-flower star diagram on the crystal. That was his astral mark.

Even then, he didn’t dare touch it directly. Instead, he guided the crystal out of the mountain slowly and carefully. The power of the Radiant World Star Crystal was immense, and a single misstep could shatter the mountain. Of course, if he were alone, he wouldn’t mind. He’d just take it and run.

However, because Tang Wan-er and the others were not that far away, they would definitely be affected. Hence, Long Chen let the Radiant World Star Crystal slowly come through the mountain.

Yet, just as everything seemed to be going smoothly, furious roars echoed from the distance. Long Chen then saw countless blood devils come pouring out of their hive.

Have I been noticed?

At first, he thought he’d been discovered, but then he saw figures in strange clothes rushing off in all directions. Rage surged through him.

These bastards, how dare they?!

BOOM!

The mountain collapsed. With no time to spare, Long Chen sent the Radiant World Star Crystal into the primal chaos space and had the Earth Cauldron gather the scattered wind spirit stones. Lightning wings burst from his back as he shot toward Tang Wan-er’s location.

“Crush the tablets!” Long Chen shouted.

Tang Wan-er and her group were in the midst of cleaning up the battlefield and gathering devil crystals, but they froze at the sound of furious roars and Long Chen’s warning.

Tang Wan-er was shocked. But without hesitation, she ordered everyone to crush their tablets.

They tried, but to their horror, the transportation runes had lost their power. The tablets, which should have been effortlessly breakable, were now as hard as iron.

“It’s not working!” someone cried in disbelief.

“Not good!” Tang Wan-er and the others exchanged shocked glances as the blood devils closed in.
