Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1383: Chapter 1383: Heavenly Star Forbidden Land, Opening

Heavenly Star Territory, a certain place.

The stars at night, densely packed with stars.

Many martial artists looked up with admiration, occasionally exclaiming in praise.

Suddenly, a beam of light swiftly streaked across the sky.

The speed of the beam was extremely fast; however, even at this high speed, it carved a long trail across the white clouds in the sky.

Around the long trail, the thin clouds of the night were scattered by half.

The beautiful starlit night in the high sky was suddenly ’shattered’.

It was like a beautiful picture suddenly being slashed by a sword, utterly excessive.

”Who is it?”

”Bastard.”

”Is being able to control the air so great? Watch me blow him down.”

Below, the martial artists who were admiring the stars all wore angry expressions.

As if sensing these unfriendly, angry gazes, the beam of light in the sky suddenly disappeared tracelessly.

...

Above the sky, a figure silently and swiftly descended with the night.

The figure was Xiao Yi.

”Phew.” Xiao Yi exhaled gently and shook his head.

The beam of light just now was, of course, him rushing rapidly.

Unexpectedly, his rapid travel had attracted so many unfriendly gazes.

Indeed, he had already reached the Heavenly Star Territory.

After leaving the Golden Light Dangerous Land, he raced all the way, and within just a few days, he had exited the Golden Light Dangerous Land. Then, after traversing the surrounding ten or so territories of the Heavenly Rope Prefecture, he finally arrived at the Heavenly Star Territory.

The Heavenly Star Prefecture happened to be right next to the Heavenly Rope Prefecture, separated by 15 territories.

This journey was not close, in fact.

However, Xiao Yi’s cultivation had improved a lot during a month of training, naturally increasing his speed considerably.

And most importantly, he leveraged the power of the starlight descent, with starlight enveloping him, forcibly increasing his speed.

However, not 85,000 rays of starlight descended wholly.

After all, it was extremely consuming of primordial power.

He only brought about 60,000 rays, roughly equivalent to the strength of the Sixth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm.

Xiao Yi sighed with relief and instinctively glanced at the sky.

Upon looking, he couldn’t help but marvel at this beautiful scenery.

The entire sky was like a black curtain.

And on this black curtain, stars were densely packed, shining brilliantly together.

The starlight in the Heavenly Star Territory was far denser and more dazzling than in other territories.

Among the Eighteen Mansions’ territories, although their strength was more or less similar, and their reputation in the Central Region was similar.

But if one were to discuss which mansion’s territory was the most beautiful, it would be the Heavenly Star Territory.

The starry night of the Heavenly Star Territory, even in the entire Central Region, is one of the famous beautiful sights.

”Indeed very beautiful.” Muttered Xiao Yi to himself, then withdrew his gaze from the sky.

He didn’t have time to linger over these beautiful sights.

In this Heavenly Star Territory, many martial artists practiced the Starlight Dao.

Also because every night, this region was filled with blazing stars, so the martial artists of the starlight path experience great training effects here.

According to what Xiao Yi knew, there were also legends of the Star Illusion Fire appearing here.

This was one of the reasons Xiao Yi specifically chose the Heavenly Star Territory for training.

The Star Illusion Fire, as one of the most mysterious and powerful flames in the world, was something that could definitely enhance his Fire Dao power significantly.

But regardless of whether there was any news of the Star Illusion.

His training here, even if just plain cultivation, would greatly benefit his Star Illusion Swordsmanship.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi flickered and took to the sky-controlling flight.

He did not fly to high altitudes to avoid inciting those martial artists admiring the beautiful starlight to curse at him.

He was merely flying quickly at a mid-height.

Currently, the area he was deeply within had already entered the edges of the Heavenly Star Territory.

The Heavenly Star Prefecture, one of the Eighteen Mansions, was situated at the center of this territory.

However, Xiao Yi was not aiming to head to the Heavenly Star Prefecture or those cities, but toward the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land.

The Heavenly Star Dangerous Land was the most renowned dangerous land in both the Heavenly Star Territory and the surrounding ten or so territories.

Its level of danger was about the same as the Golden Light Territory.

After crossing the Heavenly Star Territory, exiting it, and then flying approximately a two-territory distance, there was the unfrequented Heavenly Star Dangerous Land.

More than half a day later.

Just in time for the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yi arrived at the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land.

As he expected, in sight was an endless demon beast forest.

Xiao Yi flickered and landed, just about to begin training within, when suddenly...

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi halted his steps, frowning.

Outside the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land, a large number of martial artists had gathered at this moment.

There were young heavenly talents and elderly individuals with deep cultivation, no less than a thousand.

Judging by the aura of this group of martial artists, the weakest was above the Third Layer of Saint King Realm.

”So many martial artists?” Xiao Yi showed a look of doubt.

As far as he knew, inside the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land, there was nothing special nor anything to attract martial artists, hence it was usually unfrequented.

Different from the Golden Light Dangerous Land, inside the Golden Light Dangerous Land, every night, the golden light floated, and the demon beasts devoured this golden light, significantly increasing their strength.

Martial artists, during this time, would also kill demon beasts to obtain inner cores to refine Golden Light Pills.

Each Golden Light Pill was of considerable value, hence it attracted a large number of martial artists all year round.

However, here at the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land, not only because of its infamous danger, but also due to its lack of benefits, only a few martial artists would come purely for training.

But now, there were so many martial artists just outside the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land, and they were gathering together.

Xiao Yi felt a bit puzzled, his figure flickered, mingling within the group of martial artists.

”Brother, what’s happening here?” Xiao Yi approached a young man who still appeared somewhat serene and asked softly.

This young man, seeing Xiao Yi suddenly appear, was evidently startled.

Once he saw that Xiao Yi was just a young man about his age, he finally relaxed.

”Brother, you aren’t aware?” the young man asked curiously.

Xiao Yi shook his head.

”Oh.” The young man smiled and said, ”You must be a martial artist from another territory, brother.”

”Otherwise, you wouldn’t possibly not know what happened here.”

”Oh?” Xiao Yi showed a look of curiosity; it seemed to be quite a renowned matter.

The young man smiled and said, ”The Heavenly Star Forbidden Land is about to open.”

”Naturally, we martial artists practicing the Starlight Dao from the Heavenly Star Territory, and nearby territories have all rushed here.”

”Oh? Opening the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land?” Xiao Yi slightly frowned.

”Yes.” The young man wore a look of pride, casually explaining, ”The opening of the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land is once every few years.”

”The Heavenly Star Forbidden Land is actually a forbidden land designated by the Heavenly Star Prefecture within the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land.”

”However, the Heavenly Star Prefecture not only doesn’t swindle us ordinary martial artists but also sends strongmen to escort us in every several years when it opens.”

”Within the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land, for us martial artists practicing the Starlight Dao, training for one day equals a hundred days of results outside.”

”Naturally, martial artists from nearby regions have all flocked here these past few days.”

”I see.” Xiao Yi nodded, looking enlightened.

As he knew, although the Heavenly Star Prefecture was one of the Eighteen Mansions, and also one of the overlord forces in the Central Region, it had a great reputation.

In the Heavenly Star Territory, as well as in the surrounding ten or so territories, it was highly respected by martial artists from all directions.

”By the way, brother, are you also a martial artist practicing the Starlight Dao?” the young man asked.

”If not, you cannot enter the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land.”

Xiao Yi smiled and gathered a faint starlight between his fingers.
