Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 268: Entering the Star Palace and sign in at the Wanxing Tower

For Han Xuanji, the cultivation of various Grand Dao had not fallen behind.

However, the Dao of Stars indeed needed to be strengthened, otherwise it would not keep up with the progress of Grand Dao such as Destiny and Chaos; if not, he would still need to comprehend it when he made a Breakthrough to the Grand Unity Realm.

Han Xuanji held the jade talisman given by Myriad Stars Daoist in his palm; star patterns flowed on it, and a faint light shimmered.

His Divine Thought stirred slightly, and a wisp of pure Immortal Power was injected into it, then a thread of Divine Thought was separated and entered it.

“Om…”

The jade talisman trembled lightly, suddenly erupting with brilliant starlight; countless dense star runes leaped out from the talisman and flew towards Han Xuanji.

“Is this the way to the Star Palace?”

Han Xuanji was very calm.

Similar to entering the River of Destiny or the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode, there was no need for his true body to go.

A single Divine Thought was enough, so there was no need to worry about his safety.

The space around him shifted, as if he was traveling through a galaxy.

Moments later, his consciousness was in a peculiar place.

Before his eyes was not the imagined palace or pavilion, but a high platform suspended in the endless Void Realm, and in the distance, he could see an infinitely tall Star Tower, with huge stars swirling around it, as if it were the center of heaven and earth.

Feeling the extremely pure Star Power permeating the air, Han Xuanji’s heart stirred.

“Star Palace… truly extraordinary.”

Lingxu Heavenly Palace also had a Doutian Star Tower, which was probably modeled after this Star Tower.

The Doutian Star Tower of Lingxu Heavenly Palace was equivalent to a top-grade Immortal Artifact, while this one was at least an Immortal King Magic Treasure, and possibly even an Immortal Emperor Supreme Treasure.

Just then, the starlight in front fluctuated, and a figure quietly appeared.

The newcomer was dressed in a silver-white robe embroidered with intricate star patterns, with a handsome face, eyes as clear as stars, and a profound aura; he was clearly a Cultivator of the Mystic Immortal Realm.

He looked at Han Xuanji, with a hint of scrutiny and curiosity in his gaze.

“Your Excellency holds my Star Palace’s invitation token and has come; may I ask which Elder introduced you?”

The silver-robed Cultivator bowed, his tone still polite, but with a formalized inquiry.

The Star Palace invitation token was no small matter; its holders were all extraordinary, and perhaps this person before him would be a future powerhouse of the Star Palace.

Han Xuanji returned the bow and said calmly, “It was given by Myriad Stars Daoist.”

“Elder Myriad Stars?”

A hint of surprise flashed in the silver-robed Cultivator’s eyes, and his attitude became noticeably more respectful.

“So it’s Elder Myriad Stars’ guest. I am Xuan Guang, the Star Palace’s Emissary. May I ask Your Excellency’s name?”

Myriad Stars Daoist held a respected position in the Star Palace, and anyone he recommended could not be treated lightly.

“Just call me Beidou.”

Han Xuanji casually gave a pseudonym and said,

“I heard that the Star Palace gathers the essence of the Dao of Stars, so I came to observe it.”

“Fellow Daoist Beidou.”

Emissary Xuan Guang nodded, but his heart stirred.

To dare to use Beidou as a name, he had quite a tone.

He was most likely another Prodigy with the Northern Dipper Star Fate.

However, there were many Prodigies with the Northern Dipper Star Fate; to achieve the position of Northern Dipper Star Lord, a certain amount of competition was inevitable.

He carefully scrutinized Han Xuanji again; although his aura was restrained, he possessed a natural demeanor of commanding the heavens, and his heart was involuntarily awestruck.

That kind of temperament was something no ordinary Cultivator could possess.

“The Star Palace does not ask about Origin, only about one’s affinity with the Dao of Stars.”

Emissary Xuan Guang turned sideways to lead the way, explaining at the same time,

“Anyone who can resonate with their Destined Star can cultivate here; look…”

He pointed to a slowly rotating red star in the distance:

“That is Fellow Daoist Yan Yao’s Destined Star; he achieved the Mystic Immortal Realm three hundred years ago and has now condensed his own Star Dao Seed within the Star Palace.”

Han Xuanji looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the surface of the red star flowed with scorching Dao rhyme, indeed already having the rudimentary form of a star.

“In the outer area of the Star Palace, there are various ‘Star Gazing Platforms’ for people to comprehend the Dao of Stars and verify each other. In addition, there are many other places such as ‘Enlightenment Walls’ and ‘Star Pools’, all open to honored guests holding invitation tokens. If deeper Legacy or discussions with the Elders in the Palace are needed, a separate arrangement must be made, but it requires a certain amount of contribution points.”

“How are those contribution points obtained?”

Han Xuanji asked.

“Entering my Star Palace, all are Star Palace Emissaries.”

Emissary Xuan Guang paused and said,

“Star Palace Emissaries are divided into one to nine stars; Your Excellency has an invitation token, so you are already a three-star Star Palace Emissary, possessing certain privileges, and can enter a Secret Realm below three stars once a year for a month.”

“To obtain contribution points, you need to go to the Myriad Stars Hall to accept Star Palace missions, or go to the Star Tower to challenge it.”

Han Xuanji nodded slightly, following Xuan Guang; along the way, he could see a few Cultivators on the platforms, either sitting in meditation to comprehend the stars or practicing Star Divine Abilities, and when they saw Xuan Guang leading an unfamiliar face, they all cast curious glances.

Those who could come here were all those with an affinity for the Dao of Stars.

As Han Xuanji walked, he silently sensed the vast Star Dao rhyme of this place.

“Fellow Daoist Xuan Guang, what is the profound mystery of this Star Tower?”

Han Xuanji looked at the towering giant tower that seemed to support the entire starry sky and asked.

In his eyes, countless complex and unfathomable star runes were reflected on the surface of the tower, and he faintly felt the terrifying power and Dao Law contained within them.

Xuan Guang heard this and showed a hint of pride on his face:

“Fellow Daoist Beidou, this tower is called the ‘Myriad Stars Tower’ and is one of the Foundations of my Star Palace. Legend has it that it was refined by the Lord of Myriad Stars by collecting the Origin of the stars of the heavens, containing infinite star Realms and encompassing everything. The tower is divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine Realms of the Dao of Stars. Each level climbed allows for the comprehension of deeper stellar mysteries, and even the opportunity to obtain the Legacy of ancient Star Lords.”

He paused, looked at Han Xuanji, and his tone carried a warning:

“However, the Myriad Stars Tower’s trials are extremely strict; only those with a very deep understanding of the Dao of Stars can enter. Even some Prodigies mostly stop at the first six levels. Since Fellow Daoist is new, you might as well solidify your Foundation in the Secret Realm outside the tower first, and it won’t be too late to try challenging the tower when the time is right.”

Han Xuanji nodded, his gaze still fixed on the Myriad Stars Tower, and said,

“I do want to try it.”

Xuan Guang was surprised to hear this, but not overly so; he was just a little curious and nodded, saying,

“Let’s go.”

He had also seen many people who, upon first arriving at the Star Palace, wanted to try the Myriad Stars Tower.

He himself had actually gone to the Myriad Stars Tower very early, so he could understand Han Xuanji.

Soon, Han Xuanji followed Xuan Guang through the star path and finally arrived before the towering Myriad Stars Tower.

The tower body was cast from an unknown material, with countless star Dao patterns naturally imprinted on it; just by concentrating and observing closely, one could feel infinite star orbits flowing before their eyes.

[Detected an eight-star check-in location “Myriad Stars Tower”, do you wish to check in?]

“It is indeed an eight-star good place.”

Han Xuanji’s mind stirred.

“System, check in!”
