The Elder carefully took out something wrapped in animal hide from his chest.“This is the highest secret of our tribe.”
“Legend has it, only when the ‘Guidance of the Stars’ appears can this fragment lead us to other pieces of the map.”
Luo Qingchen looked at the fragment, and his breath suddenly hitched.
The familiar lines and aura upon it made the star map bronze disc within him start to heat up slightly.
The stone house was brightly lit.
Luo Qingchen, Lin Wan’er, Su Xiaowan, and Elder Jianan sat around a stone table.
In the center of the table lay a palm-sized fragment, neither gold nor jade in material.
The fragment was an irregular triangle with obvious break marks at the edges, engraved with complex and mysterious star trajectories.
This was the fragment of the lost star realm map mentioned by Elder Jianan.
“This aura…”
Su Xiaowan stared at the fragment, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
“It looks so much like your bronze disc, Brother Luo!”
Without her saying, Luo Qingchen could feel it too.
Since the Elder took out this fragment, the star map bronze disc on his chest has been heating up, like a hungry person seeing delicious food.
They were originally one!
“Elder, may I try it?”
Luo Qingchen looked at Elder Jianan, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Elder Jianan looked deeply at him and slowly nodded.
“The prophecy says only the ‘Guidance of the Stars’ can reunite it with its owner. Perhaps, you are that guidance.”
With permission, Luo Qingchen hesitated no more.
He took out his star map bronze disc from his chest.
The moment the bronze disc appeared, the map fragment on the stone table suddenly trembled, emitting a buzzing sound.
A faint starlight rose from the fragment, seemingly wanting to break free and embrace the bronze disc.
Luo Qingchen reached out and picked up the fragment.
Then, carefully, he brought it close to the bronze disc.
Click.
A soft click.
The fragment and the gap on the bronze disc fit together perfectly.
Seamlessly, as if they had never been apart.
In the next second.
A dazzling starlight burst from the bronze disc.
The entire stone house was instantly engulfed in a vast sea of stars.
Countless stars swirled and extinguished around them.
An immense and ancient message surged into Luo Qingchen’s mind.
It was a broader and more complete star map.
On this star map, he saw their current location, a star domain marked as the “Abandoned Land.”
And the Jianan Tribe was just an insignificant point within this abandoned land.
In another distant corner of the star map, he saw an area shrouded in dense black fog, marked with two blood-red characters — Shadow.
And between the “Abandoned Land” and “Shadow,” there were several places marked with special light points.
One of these light points shimmered with a faint glow, marked as the Ancient Star Ruins.
Found it!
A wave of ecstasy surged in Luo Qingchen’s heart.
The hope of returning home was right before his eyes!
The light faded, and the star map bronze disc returned to calm.
But its surface was no longer incomplete.
The extra corner made the entire bronze disc appear more complete and more mysterious.
“It worked…”
Elder Jianan watched this scene, trembling with excitement, tears streaming down his old face.
“The ancestors’ wish has finally seen hope in my generation!”
He bowed deeply to Luo Qingchen again.
“Divine Envoy, please, you must lead us to find the Ancient Star Ruins and gain the power to resist the Shadow!”
Luo Qingchen helped the Elder up, feeling a mix of emotions.
He came to this world just wanting to find a way home.
Unexpectedly, by some twist of fate, he ended up bearing the hope of an entire race.
“Rest assured, Elder, I promise you, as long as I can, I will certainly help the Jianan Tribe.”
Luo Qingchen solemnly promised.
This was not just for repayment, but for himself as well.
The threat of the Shadow was like a sword hanging over his head.
He could feel it; those black-clothed demonic cultivators were undoubtedly connected to the “Shadow.”
If he didn’t solve this problem, even if he found the way home, he might not be able to leave safely.
In the following days, the status of the three in the Jianan Tribe underwent a complete transformation.
No longer did anyone dare to look at them with exclusion and hostility.
Instead, there was genuine respect and admiration.
Even Kael, who always looked down on them, would lower his head and respectfully call them “Divine Envoy” when he saw them.
Strength is forever the best pass.
With the help of Elder Jianan, Luo Qingchen began systematically learning and understanding this star realm.
From the tribe’s classics, he learned a great deal about this world’s information.
For instance, the cultivation system in this world both resembled and differed greatly from their original world.
Here, people do not cultivate Golden Cores or Nascent Souls but instead feel and absorb the Star Force, condensing a “Star Core” within themselves.
The level of a Star Core ranges from One-star to Nine-star, corresponding to the various realms from Qi Refinement to Mahayana.
Elder Jianan, for instance, is a Three-star Core expert, equivalent to the Initial Realm of a Nascent Soul.
Kael, on the other hand, is at the peak of a One-star Core, just one step away from condensing a Two-star Star Core, entering the Golden Core Stage.
In addition, Luo Qingchen also learned that this world is extremely rich in resources.
