Chapter 117: The Disciple’s Misdeed, the Master Takes the Blame!

Myriad Star Fire: Originating from the vastness of the starry sky, it was formed from the convergence of the light of stars. When it fell to the earth, it spread like a desert for a thousand miles. The one who refines it would gain the Myriad Star Body.

The Myriad Star Body allows the user to autonomously absorb the power of the stars, continuously strengthening their physical body, healing injuries, and even regenerating flesh. At the same time, it could store the power of the stars.

Even if a vital part of the body, such as the heart, was destroyed, the stored star power could sustain the vitality of the body. If the owner of the Myriad Star Body reached the Golden Core stage, then even if their head were severed, with time, it would grow back.

Upon reading the description, Ye Chen’s excitement reached an unparalleled level. The importance of strengthening the body and healing injuries went without saying. Just the ability to store star power—enabling the body to stay alive even with a destroyed heart—was already enough to make it akin to an immortal body.

As far as Ye Chen knew, even in the Golden Core stage, a person whose heart was removed would die. But with his heart gone, he could remain alive for a time. Not to mention that he could regenerate flesh, repairing organs with star power.

If his arm were severed, another would grow back. If his heart were destroyed, another would form. This was simply outrageous. It was as if he had a second life. No wonder this was a seventh-grade spiritual fire. Its power was staggeringly excessive.

From what Ye Chen knew, there were other spiritual fires on the ranking list. Some had even more outrageous effects. There were those that could devour. Some could accelerate cultivation speed. And even others could enhance one’s aptitude.

However, top-tier spiritual fires were exceptionally rare, even unique. Even the strongest cultivators in the cultivation world might spend their entire lives searching for one and still never find it. And even after finding it, whether they could subdue it was another matter entirely.

But with the system, as long as he collected lower-grade spiritual fires and gifted them to female cultivators, high-grade spiritual fires could be triggered in return—this was simply too satisfying.

Ye Chen hesitated no longer. Upon returning to Sword Peak, he decisively announced the suspension of his cultivation for the night. In the disappointed gazes of the three women, he retreated to his room. There, he began refining the Myriad Star Fire.

The Myriad Star Fire was a deep purple-black. At a single glance, it resembled a miniature starry river, exuding an immense and terrifying power that could be felt simply by looking at it. It was leagues beyond the Green Stone Fire. Even those in the Nascent Soul stage might struggle to refine such a fire.

Yet, before Ye Chen, the Myriad Star Fire offered no resistance. The primal fire was effortlessly absorbed into his dantian. In the next moment, terrifying purple-black flames erupted from his body. Ye Chen’s expression shifted.

The pain was excruciating!

But Ye Chen did nothing but silently endure. After refining the Myriad Star Fire, he had learned much more. The path to obtaining the Myriad Star Body was one that could only be walked through such suffering.

Above the firmament, endless starlight converged, piercing through the roof and cascading into Ye Chen’s body. It continuously healed his searing flesh. The starlight fused into his body. In this process of refining and healing, Ye Chen’s body underwent a monumental transformation…

…

At the top of Sword Peak, Gu Yunyun, who had been refining starlight and awaiting the beginning of her heart cultivation session, suddenly sat up, her face filled with fury. The loosely draped red gown she wore fluttered as she sat up, presenting a breathtaking sight.

“How dare someone come to Sword Peak and steal the starry energy from me?”

With a casual motion, Gu Yunyun summoned her azure spiritual sword. The starlight power in each area could only be absorbed in a fixed amount. If too many people gathered in one area, the amount available per person would decrease.

Originally, Gu Yunyun had been receiving a continuous flow of starlight, but now, it had abruptly stopped.

Stealing was one thing, but leaving me nothing?

Gu Yunyun, who had never suffered such a slight in her life, was enraged. With a burst of energy, she shot into the sky. Her spiritual eye opened, scanning the surroundings. She was determined to find out who dared to challenge her. But the next moment, a look of disbelief crossed her mature and alluring face…
