Mu Hanyan would never burden herself with the troubles of unanswered questions, and this time was no exception. Collecting her thoughts, she began her cultivation practice.
The last time she sparred with the remnants of Mu Tianlie’s consciousness, the vast and incomparable Nine Heavens Star Power had been sliced apart, pressing down on her over and over again. Yet she had taken it all into her Heart Meridian in one go without having time to convert it into Qi. Now, it was time to give it a try.
Intuitively, Mu Hanyan felt that the strength enhancements of Huayue and Zirong were related to the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate left by Mu Tianlie. What about herself then? If she could convert the Nine Heavens Star Power left by Mu Tianlie into Qi, what kind of improvement would her strength experience? Read full story at novel✦fire.net
Her heart was filled with anticipation.
Meanwhile, in the Treasure Vault of the Mu Family, within the tomb that Mu Tianlie had personally constructed for himself, the Great Elder was fully weary, seeming to have aged ten years overnight.
For a whole day and night, the Great Elder had searched the tomb desperately, only to come up empty-handed in the end.
"There’s nothing, how can there be nothing at all?" the Great Elder clutched his head, speaking in an utterly despairing tone.
In the tomb, even the bones of Mu Tianlie had turned to dust. Apart from a lone stone sarcophagus and two long-burning lamps, there was nothing else.
"What exactly are you looking for, great-grandfather?" Mu Feng asked cautiously.
The tomb was already sinister and terrifying; seeing the Great Elder frantically searching everywhere, one moment ecstatic and the next plummeting into madness, Mu Feng felt extremely uneasy.
"Your ancestor’s Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, how can it not be here, how can it not be here?" The Great Elder, with eyes bloodshot, roared lowly like a wounded beast.
"What ancestor, what Heavenly Destiny Star Plate?" Mu Feng asked, utterly bewildered.
"Ah..." With a long sigh, the Great Elder collapsed to the ground, and slowly said to Mu Feng, "The person buried in this tomb was named Mu Tianlie; he is our ancestor from Heishi City’s Mu Family..."
What the Great Elder had said was no different from Mu Rui’an, except for one small divergence.
"Before passing, the Heavenly Flame Ancestor told the people of the Mu Family that his transformation from a natural-born waste in everyone’s eyes to an extraordinary genius was all thanks to the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate. He built his own tomb and hid the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate within. Should descendants of the Mu Family be fated, finding his tomb and obtaining his Heavenly Destiny Star Plate would give them a chance to possess the same strength as him.
However, besides that, he called his two sons to his side and quietly told them a secret—that his cultivation was not derived from the Heaven and Earth Power we cultivate, but from the Nine Heavens Star Power.
But this Nine Heavens Star Power isn’t for just anyone to absorb. The true effect of the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate is to absorb the Nine Heavens Star Power. Even if one possesses the Nine Heavens Star Power, without excellent innate talent, they cannot refine it. Thus, before his death, he transformed all his cultivation, even his Essence Blood and Divine Soul, into Heavenly Star Source Power, leaving it within the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate.
Do you still remember the so-called useless Cultivation Technique I taught you? It was a secret passed down only to the two sons by the Heavenly Flame Ancestor, and it is a secret technique not shared outside our lineage. By using this Cultivation Technique, one can harness the Heavenly Star Source Power he left behind, gain strength gradually, and eventually refine the Nine Heavens Star Power. The achievements one can reach may even surpass those of the ancestor!" At this point, a trace of excitement reemerged on the Great Elder’s haggard and wan face.
