Lei Jun rifled through the many Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talismans in his possession and began to consider whether to attempt to locate his fellow disciples.
Fortunately, as the days of spring grew warr, Chu Kun finally returned.
"Has Eldest Senior Brother also returned to the mountain?" Chu Kun asked with joy.
Both Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan looked at him. "Are you alright?"
Chu Kun chuckled wryly. "I’m fine. It’s just that I was trapped in a place before, and it wasn’t convenient to use the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman, so I was delayed for a long ti. Otherwise, I would have been able to return to the mountain before the new year."
As he spoke, he also returned the Breathing Soil Banner to Lei Jun.
Lei Jun accepted the Breathing Soil Banner and, without needing to scrutinize it closely, roughly understood its condition. Chu Kun had used this Spiritual Treasure, but he hadn’t expended a great deal of its Spiritual Power.
From the looks of it, what Chu Kun said was true.
Previously, he must have indeed been trapped and attempted to use the Breathing Soil Banner to make his way out, rather than relying on it for protection.
It could be that the environnt he encountered was indeed trapping but not perilous, or perhaps this junior brother had other Spiritual Treasures to defend himself against danger.
Chu Kun didn’t go into detail with Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan.
At this ti, his thoughts were preoccupied with feeling unlucky, but even more so with relief.
This trip to Exploration Spirit Mountain, while he didn’t encounter any man-made disasters, was filled with natural calamities.
Fortunately, he hadn’t actually created a top-quality or even a superior High-grade Spirit Talisman.
Otherwise, he would have truly been buried alive under the mountain.
With such an earth-shattering collapse, even if he had many protective Spiritual Treasures, it would have been difficult to see the light of day again.
I was already so careful when dealing with the ’Portal’, but it seems I still need to be more vigilant... Chu Kun thought.
"Natural disasters, without encountering enemies?" Lei Jun inquired.
Chu Kun shook his head. "It was probably just my own carelessness. As long as you exclude the possibility of facing soone whose Cultivation is substantially higher than mine, I didn’t notice anyone harboring ill will towards ."
"Just in case, go see the Sect Leader later and ask her to check it out for you," Lei Jun suggested.
Chu Kun quickly nodded. "Of course, as long as the Sect Leader has the ti."
Under normal circumstances, if there were an enemy with Cultivation Strength far surpassing Chu Kun’s, they would have directly acted.
If there was indeed a significant gap in Cultivation Realm, even a Spiritual Treasure like the Breathing Soil Banner would struggle to fully protect Chu Kun.
But one couldn’t rule out the possibility that the opponent had other insidious thods and intended to play a long ga.
Therefore, Chu Kun himself was also eager to ask Celestial Master Tang Xiaotang for assistance.
He also felt that the spiritual mountain he explored this ti seed sowhat amiss, going beyond his initial expectations.
"Although I encountered risks, it wasn’t a complete loss."
Chu Kun soon cheered up again and showed Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan his gains.
Even though it was broad daylight, specks of starlight still lit up in the air, shining brilliantly.
Lei Jun focused his gaze and saw, at the center of the starlight, nurous loose bits of stardust gathered together, sowhat resembling the form of a sleeping fetus.
"The Powerful Intent is sowhat like the legendary Star Core..." Wang Guiyuan observed thoughtfully. "Yet, returning to the Innate, it appears more akin to its primal form."
Lei Jun also felt it looked familiar. After a brief recollection of the ancient texts he had seen in the Edict Hall, he said, "Nebula Star Dust?"
Chu Kun nodded repeatedly. "Yes, exactly—Nebula Star Dust!"
Lei Jun said, "This is indeed rare. It has been many years since such a thing was last seen. I have only read descriptions of similar treasures in ancient texts."
In recent years, the Global Spiritual Qi has surged, benefiting the cultivation of Cultivators.
Generally speaking, under such conditions, it’s possible for more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to arise, worthy of an era prosperous in cultivation.
But just as young Cultivators, though rapidly ascending in cultivation, still require ti to accumulate.
The various Spiritual Objects between heaven and earth are the sa. Even if the surge of qi brings the chance for long-lost treasures to reerge, so accumulation and maturation ti remain necessary.
Moreover, not all extinct Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures can reappear in the world.
In historical records, Nebula Star Dust is also extrely rare.
"With you possessing the Constellation Holy Body, this treasure seems destined for you," Lei Jun remarked.
Chu Kun then divided the Nebula Star Dust into several parts. "The ancient texts I’ve read ntioned that Nebula Star Dust can aid Cultivators of Our Sect in cultivating the grand Divine Skill of the Destiny Star God."
Wang Guiyuan repeatedly shook his head. "Don’t count in. You two divide it. Speaking of the Divine Faculty Talismans that can only be cultivated in the Upper Three Heavens, I am still a long way off, while Lei has a chance in the near future."
Lei Jun, now not needing to be too formal with Chu Kun, also did not stand on ceremony. "Keep a portion of Nebula Star Dust for , Junior Brother. We’ll see about the situation later."
Chu Kun asked, "Second Senior Brother, have you not yet decided on the First Divine Faculty to cultivate after reaching the Seventh Heavenly Layer?"
Lei Jun nodded. "Hmm, I’ll decide later."
He was considering cultivating either the Life Skill Human Script Talisman or the Destiny Star God, but had not yet made a final decision.
Nowadays, as Lei Jun pondered the Taoist Laws, nearly every day brought a new spark of inspiration.
Having Chu Kun save a portion of Nebula Star Dust for him gave him more leeway to decide later based on need.
If he needed to quickly enhance his combat prowess imdiately after reaching the Seventh Heavenly Layer, he would directly choose the Destiny Star God. His Tranquil Level comprehension, combined with Nebula Star Dust, would help him master this grand Divine Skill in a short ti.
If circumstances allowed for more leeway, Lei Jun could then ponder further.
With the passage of ti and Lei Jun’s personal refinent, many things gradually took on a new aspect.
About a month later, one evening, Lei Jun was silently contemplating and cultivating in solitude within his private chamber.
Suddenly, he felt a slight movent in his heart.
Within the True One Altar Cave Heaven, that page of the Celestial Book remained stable.
But the Dark Side of Celestial Book, which was close to the book itself, began to fluctuate.
Lei Jun carefully discerned the changes and was sowhat surprised.
He was not surprised by the change itself, but by the fact that the current fluctuation of the Dark Side of Celestial Book ca earlier than he had anticipated.
Lei Jun had long sensed that the Dark Side of Celestial Book would change, but he had thought that all this would only happen after he himself reached the Upper Three Realms.
After contemplating and confirming that there were no dangers, Lei Jun imrsed his mind into the Dark Side of Celestial Book.
The sensation was similar to when his mind entered the Celestial Book, stepping into the universe’s starry sky within the book.
Now, Lei Jun was entering another layer of starry sky within the book.
However, the scenery was completely different.
At the mont, his vision was not of the dark, profound universe. Instead, it was a vast expanse of white.
In that expanse of white, there were many small black spots scattered, like ink splattered on paper, or like...
In the white universe, specks of black stars.
