603: Chapter 52 Star Moon Plain_1 603: Chapter 52 Star Moon Plain_1 For Jiang Wang at this stage, the yellow-faced old monk truly represented an unsolvable entity.
He did not understand why Ku Jue was so persistently fixated on him, nor could he comprehend the enthusiasm behind his recruitnt efforts.
But whether he understood or not, it didn’t change the state of affairs between them.
Unable to provoke, unable to defeat, unable to out-talk, then the best course of action was to run.
Jiang Wang continued without rest, directly flying from the borders of the Hanging Monastery towards the northwest, heading for Zheng Country.
Xiang Qian should already be waiting for him in Zheng Country by now.
…
On this journey from Xu Country to the Hanging Monastery, and now back from the Hanging Monastery, he deliberately avoided Xu Country due to the incident in Songtao City, choosing instead to travel through Star Moon Plain.
Star Moon Plain, sandwiched between Xu Country and the sowhat more westerly Xiang Country, was a long and narrow plain.
Long and narrow is a relative description of the overall geography.
Star Moon Plain itself was quite vast, almost as large as the territory of any one country, whether Xu Country or Xiang Country.
The terrain here was flat, and the land fertile—a truly exceptional plain.
However, it did not belong to any of the neighboring Xu Country or Xiang Country.
Instead, it lay between them, unclaid, naturally serving as a boundary between the two nations.
The reason Star Moon Plain was unclaid is complex and difficult to ascertain at present.
However, one widely circulated theory is that it was precisely because the Star Moon Plain was so superior that both Qi Country and Jinguo wanted to claim it, and in the end, neither could.
Thus, it remained in limbo.
If even Qi Country and Jinguo could not claim it, Xu Country and Xiang Country stood even less of a chance, which is why Star Moon Plain remained unclaid to this day.
So minor forces had stationed themselves on the plain, but none were significant enough to dominate.
After all, if any power were strong enough to make an impact, Qi Country and Jinguo would not have stood by and allowed them to take control of Star Moon Plain.
That night, Jiang Wang ca to a halt.
Not that he needed rest.
The vastness of his Heaven and Earth Lonely Island was unparalleled.
Since his journey in the Forest Sea Source Realm, where he solidified the Heaven and Earth Lonely Island and liberated a trendous amount of Path Origin, the reserves of Path Origin he could utilize were incredibly robust.
Of course, when saying that Heaven and Earth Lonely Island was unparalleled, it was in comparison to ordinary cultivators.
Jiang Wang himself knew several individuals who were comparable, such as Wang Yiwu.
Since the Heaven and Earth Lonely Island is the feedback from opening the Heaven and Earth Gate, Wang Yiwu, who progressed further at the Tongtian Environnt stage, could only have a vaster one.
Jiang Wang’s pause at this ti was due to the routine evening lessons.
If the Inner Mansion Realm could be likened to a child “treasure hunting” at ho, the human body’s secret treasures were the gems cultivators sought, and the daily exploration process was the prerequisite for accessing these corporeal secrets.
The “treasure-seeking” child must first be extrely familiar with their ho to discover the rare and easily overlooked treasures tucked away in corners.
Star Moon Plain had many uninhabited spots, and Jiang Wang found a random grassy area to sit down.
There was no need for extra vigilance; with his current strength, even imrsed in cultivation, he wouldn’t miss the slightest rustling of wind or grass.
Between heaven and earth, a lone figure sat.
The vast expanse of the plains under the boundless sky allowed his mind and spirit to spread freely.
Only at night could one understand why it was called Star Moon Plain.
This plain was clearly not high in elevation, yet the sky here seed to have particularly sparse clouds, making the stars appear unusually close.
Looking up at the sky, both stars and moon felt so near, crystal clear, almost as if they could be touched by extending one’s hand.
It was as if the stars were resting here.
The beauty of nature was truly awe-inspiring.
Indeed, Star Moon Plain was nad for the stars and moon that enveloped it.
Of course, the outer world did not affect Jiang Wang’s cultivation.
Whether the environnt was ugly or beautiful, poor or exquisite.
He thodically completed each step,
ticulously “sweeping” through the Inner Mansion, accomplished the necessary exploration, then exited the Inner Mansion to resu cultivating the Fire Origin Codex, accumulating the power of the fire totem.
His progress was not fast.
If the power of the fire totem were compared to a bowl of water, it barely covered the bottom of the bowl.
He was not in a rush.
It was a slow and steady process.
Over ti, it would surely be filled.
Once the power of the totem was full, it would beco a trump card.
But tonight was different.
When he began to cultivate according to the thods in the Fire Origin Codex, what he felt most acutely was not the power of the totem, but the star power, which surged like a current.
Jiang Wang was certain his sensation was not mistaken.
In the Floating Land’s Endless Earth Den, he had absorbed star power countless tis.
In the ga of life and death, it was with the enhancent of star power that he managed to defeat Lei Zhanqian in one fell swoop.
Previously, Jiang Wang had never directly felt star power through the Fire Totem in the present world; in fact, not even in the Floating Land—there the star power ca from slaying Star Beasts.
But at this mont, he had such a sensation.
This ant sothing very clear to Jiang Wang—if he could feel it, then he could absorb it.
In other words, he had the opportunity to recreate that sword strike from the ga of life and death chess in the present world!
Jiang Wang, upon this realization, did not give into ecstatic joy but beca more vigilant instead.
He retraced his experiences and examined himself to pinpoint exactly where a change had occurred, where a problem could have arisen.
There must be a demon behind abnormal occurrences.
Even if there really were a pie falling from the sky, he wouldn’t just open his mouth to eat it.
Upon reflection, he found no issues with himself; every step of his cultivation had not deviated from what was recorded in the Fire Source Codex.
So why was the star power so clear?
Was it because of…
Star Moon Plain?
Jiang Wang looked around and faintly felt that this Star Moon Plain might be hiding so major secret.
Qi Country and Jinguo’s persistent interest in this place may not be just rumors after all.
Star power was different from the power of totems.
For instance, while cultivating the Fire Source Codex, the totem power he accumulated was of the fire elent.
However, star power was very pure, devoid of any attributes.
Being purer, it was also easier to utilize.
If it were fire elental totem power, Jiang Wang could only use it in combination with fire-based Dao Techniques, whereas with star power, he had no such concerns.
Jiang Wang didn’t rush to absorb it and instead quietly felt the star power.
Gradually, he realized that there were subtle differences between one star power and another.
The star power surrounding him now was actually not as pure as the star power he absorbed in the Endless Earth Den in the Floating Land.
It was likely because this star power “belonged” to sothing else.
For example, the densest and closest portion of star power, it should co from…
Jiang Wang looked up at the night sky—Jade Balance!
“We et again.” A gentle voice sounded just then.
To be exact, it wasn’t that the voice “sounded” and there was no sound existing around him.
Rather, the aning of the voice was conveyed to him through the star power.
If Jiang Wang couldn’t perceive this subtle difference and “recognize” the star power of Yuheng Star, he would not have been able to receive this voice.
Jiang Wang understood that this was Guan Yan’s voice.
“What’s going on here?” Jiang Wang asked in his heart.
After a pause, Guan Yan’s voice continued to co through Yuheng Star power: “You need to speak, make a sound.
The star power will carry it to .
Under these circumstances, I can’t communicate with you using my heart.”
“How does star power convey sound?” Jiang Wang asked out loud.
“Simulation.
You can understand it like this: your voice is broken down and refined, the star power replicates every point, then follows the structure of your speech to recreate it by my ear.”
That sounds even more complicated…
But Jiang Wang’s focus wasn’t on this.
He hesitantly asked, “Have you returned to the present world?
Through the burning of that monk’s robe?”
“No.
I’m still in the Forest Sea Source Realm.
That monk’s robe was just a way to conclude my past, to let face it openly.
Thank you for helping resolve my lingering concerns.”
“No, don’t ntion it.”
Jiang Wang, unusually at a loss for words, found the entire scenario utterly inconceivable.
Could Guan Yan actually be in the Forest Sea Source Realm, communicating with him across an unfathomable, incalculable distance from the present world?
This was not the Hanging Monastery.
If the voice left behind in the Hanging Monastery was due to the karma between that monk’s robe and the monastery, it was related to Guan Yan himself and the Monastery, a contingency planned before his flesh body collapsed in the Forest Sea Source Realm.
So what about now, what was the cause?
