Chapter 381 Weird Breath
"No buts." Nan Li interrupted him with a firm tone, "We have no way out. Instead of sitting here and waiting to die, we might as well give it a try!" Her eyes were full of determination, like two flames in the darkness, illuminating the confusion in Gao Xingchen's heart.
"You're right!" Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, his eyes gradually firmed up, "We can't just give up like this!" He stood up, walked out of the cave, looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, his heart filled with lofty ambitions. "Power of the stars, here I come!"
However, the process of practicing the "Star Body Refining Technique" is much more difficult than they imagined. This secret technique requires the absorption of a large amount of star power, and the star power is extremely violent, and the slightest carelessness will cause damage to the meridians.
Although Gao Xingchen had made full preparations, he was still knocked back by the violent energy when he tried to absorb the power of the stars for the first time. "Xingchen!" Nan Li exclaimed and hurried forward to support him.
Gao Xingchen's face was pale, with a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, but there was no fear in his eyes, instead he was burning with a stronger fighting spirit. "I'm fine." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to stand up, "Come again!"
Failure after failure, injury after injury, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's cultivation path was full of thorns and ups and downs. Their bodies and minds were under tremendous pressure, and their hearts were gradually shrouded in despair.
"Is it true that we can't master the power of the stars?" Gao Xingchen murmured to himself, his tone full of bitterness. Nan Li held his hand, her eyes full of heartache, but she didn't know how to comfort him.
At this moment, a faint light shone from Gao Xingchen's arms, illuminating the dim corner of the cave. Gao Xingchen was stunned, and subconsciously reached into his arms and took out a crystal clear jade pendant. This jade pendant was the only relic left to Gao Xingchen by his father, and he had kept it close to his body.
"This jade pendant..." Nan Li looked at the jade pendant in surprise, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Gao Xingchen also felt strange. This jade pendant had never emitted light before, so why was it at this moment...
He held the jade pendant in his hand, and a warm feeling came from his palm, as if there was a force guiding him, and he gently put the jade pendant on his forehead. The next moment, the jade pendant shone brightly, and information poured into Gao Xingchen's mind.
"The Heart of the Stars...ancient secrets...cultivation methods..." Gao Xingchen murmured to himself, and a glimmer of hope gradually appeared in his eyes.
It turns out that this jade pendant is no ordinary object, but the key to unlocking the secret realm of the family, and in the secret realm, there is an ancient secret book about the "Heart of the Stars"!
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li followed the records in the secret book, found the entrance to the secret realm, and entered it. The secret realm was full of spiritual energy and beautiful environment, like a paradise. Deep in the secret realm, they found an ancient altar. In the center of the altar, there was an ancient book, emitting a faint light.
"Is this... the secret book about the Heart of the Star?" Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, carefully picked up the book, and opened the first page.
The book recorded a brand new cultivation method, which was completely different from the "Xingchen Body Refining Technique", but more exquisite and more powerful. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were overjoyed and began to practice according to the method in the secret book.
Although the training process is still full of challenges, they have seen the dawn of hope. Their strength is gradually improving, and they are getting closer and closer to mastering the power of the Heart of the Stars...
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li practiced hard in the secret realm day after day, and their efforts finally paid off. Gao Xingchen became more and more proficient in controlling the power of the stars. The originally violent energy was like a docile sheep in his hands, and Nan Li's swordsmanship became more and more fierce. Every sword he swung carried the power of the stars, doubling its power.
One day, the head of the Gao family and Elder Zhao suddenly appeared in the secret realm. Looking at the two young people who were practicing hard, they all showed gratified smiles on their faces. "Xingchen, Nanli, you did a great job." The head of the Gao family's tone was full of praise.
It turned out that the head of the Gao family and Elder Zhao had been following their movements, and were extremely delighted to learn that they had found the family secret book. This time, they came in person to teach them the secret technique inherited from the family.
"Xingchen, you are the hope of our Gao family. You have a great responsibility and must not let down the power of the Heart of Stars." The head of the Gao family said earnestly, handing Gao Xingchen an ancient ring, "This is the Star Ring that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Gao family. It can help you better control the power of the stars."
Gao Xingchen solemnly took the ring and put it on his hand. A powerful force instantly surged through his body, and he felt that his connection with the power of the stars became closer.
Elder Zhao also walked up to Nan Li and looked at her kindly, "Child, you are extremely talented. Given time, you will become a great man. This set of 'Star and Moon Sword Technique' is what I have learned throughout my life. I hope you can practice it well and carry it forward."
Nan Li took the secret book and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Elder. I will live up to your expectations."
Under the guidance of the head of the Gao family and Elder Zhao, Gao Xingchen and Nanli's cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds, and they have already vaguely touched the true meaning of star power.
At this moment, an unexpected person appeared at the entrance of the secret realm. It was Mr. Sun, who had fully recovered after a period of recuperation. When he saw Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, there was no resentment in his eyes, but instead he was full of guilt and admiration.
"Xingchen, Nanli, I'm sorry, I was wrong before." Young Master Sun apologized sincerely, "Now I finally understand that you are the ones who truly care about the world, and I am just a selfish villain. Please give me a chance, let me fight side by side with you against the evil organization."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and saw the surprise and relief in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that Master Sun would take the initiative to admit his mistakes and offer to join their team.
"Mr. Sun, we are all very happy that you can turn over a new leaf." Gao Xingchen patted Mr. Sun on the shoulder, "Welcome to join us!"
Nan Li also nodded and smiled, "One more person means one more strength. I believe that we can defeat evil and protect the peace of the Nine Star Realm!"
The three of them stood side by side, looking at the sky outside the secret realm. There, it seemed that a ray of dawn was slowly rising...
The sky of the secret realm was like a huge blue gem, clear and deep. Gao Xingchen, Nanli and Sun Gongzi stood side by side, exuding vigorous vitality, just like the towering trees in this secret realm, full of vitality and vigor.
"Xingchen, Nanli, and Master Sun, you have done a great job." A clear and pleasant voice sounded in the ears of the three people, and then a woman in a lavender dress appeared in front of them. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like stars, and she exuded an ethereal and otherworldly temperament. It was Fairy Zhou from Xingchen Pavilion.
"Fairy Zhou!" the three of them shouted in unison, their faces full of surprise.
Fairy Zhou smiled slightly and walked up to them. "I felt the fluctuation of the power of the stars, so I came to see what happened. I didn't expect you to be here." She swept her eyes over the three people, finally landing on Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. "It seems that you are ready."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. The training during this period not only improved their strength, but also made them understand their responsibilities and missions.
"Fairy Zhou, we have decided to challenge the evil organization again and protect the peace of the Nine Star Realm!" Gao Xingchen said in a firm tone, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
Nan Li also nodded and clenched the sword in her hand, "I won't run away anymore. I will use my strength to protect the people I want to protect!"
Fairy Zhou looked at them with admiration, her eyes full of satisfaction, "Good! You are worthy of being the people I have chosen, you all have a brave and fearless heart!" She paused and continued, "I came here this time to lend you a helping hand."
After saying that, Fairy Zhou formed seals with her hands, and a powerful star force surged out of her body, turning into starlight and merging into Gao Xingchen and Nanli's bodies.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li only felt a warm and powerful force flowing in their bodies. The bottleneck that was originally difficult to break through was instantly broken through, and their strength made a qualitative leap at this moment.
"This is the secret method of the Star Pavilion, 'Starlight Initiation', which can help you quickly improve your strength." Fairy Zhou explained, "I believe that with your current strength, you can definitely defeat the evil organization!"
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at Fairy Zhou with gratitude. They knew that without Fairy Zhou's help, they would have to work harder to defeat the evil organization.
"Thank you, Fairy Zhou!" the two said in unison, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
"Well, it's getting late, you should set off." Fairy Zhou looked at the sky and reminded, "Remember, you must be careful, the strength of the evil organization should not be underestimated."
"We will!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li nodded solemnly.
After bidding farewell to Fairy Zhou, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked out of the secret realm and returned to their family. They told the head of the Gao family and Elder Zhao about their decision and received their support and blessings.
“Xingchen, Nanli, you must remember that the family will always be your strongest backing!” Family head Gao said earnestly, “No matter what difficulties you encounter, remember that you are not fighting alone!”
"We will definitely return triumphantly!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li said firmly.
Before setting off, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li promised their family and friends that they would definitely return victorious this time. As the sun sets, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li embark on the journey to fight against the evil organization with full confidence. Their backs appear particularly determined in the afterglow of the sunset. What awaits them will be a more brutal battle, but they believe that justice will eventually defeat evil, and light will eventually dispel darkness!
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked around at the crowd for the last time. The weather-beaten face of the Gao family leader was full of worry. Elder Zhao kept patting Gao Xingchen's shoulders, as if he wanted to pass on all his life's skills to him. Young Master Sun was full of envy, wishing he could join this adventure.
"Xingchen, Lier, be careful!" The voice of the head of the Gao family was a little hoarse. He knew that this mission was a life-threatening one, but for the peace of the Nine Star Realm, he had to let go and let the two young people face it.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, we will definitely come back!" Gao Xingchen gave the head of the Gao family a firm look, then took Nan Li's hand, turned and walked away.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, as if they were covered with a layer of golden armor. They did not look back, because they knew that behind them were the earnest expectations of their families and friends, and they could not disappoint them.
The two headed west, through dense forests, over towering mountains, across turbulent rivers, and finally arrived at the area where the evil organization was active. This place is shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere all year round, with no grass growing, no birds or animals, and it is like a dead place.
"Be careful, the atmosphere here is very strange." Nanli warned in a low voice. She clenched the sword in her hand and looked around vigilantly.
Gao Xingchen nodded. He also felt this unusual aura, which made him feel depressed, as if something was secretly spying on them.
They slowed down their pace and moved forward cautiously. The "Starlight Initiation" taught to them by Fairy Zhou not only improved their strength, but also made them more sensitive to the power of the stars. Gao Xingchen could clearly feel that under this dead land, there was a powerful force hidden. This force was evil and dark, and it was the root of the evil organization.
"It seems that we are not far from their lair." Gao Xingchen said in a low voice, with a gleam in his eyes.
Nanli smiled slightly. She understood what Gao Xingchen meant. Their goal this time was to find the headquarters of the evil organization and completely destroy their conspiracy.
As night fell, the sky was dotted with stars, but there was no starlight over the land shrouded in evil. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li hid behind a huge rock, and carefully observed the situation ahead in the faint moonlight.
"The Black Wind Valley is ahead, and the evil organization's lair is at the bottom of the valley." Gao Xingchen pointed to the dark valley ahead. There were gusts of cold wind, ghosts howling, and wolves howling, which was creepy.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other with determination in their eyes. They knew that the next battle would be even more difficult. Could they successfully sneak into the headquarters of the evil organization and find the leader's hiding place? Everything was still unknown.
