When the gate of the star palace opened, an incomparably rich power of the stars diffused outwards. This aura made Ye Xingyun, who possessed the Star God King Physique, feel extremely comfortable. However, he had no time to delay here and directly flashed into the star palace. Mo Fan followed suit.
Before long, Jun Xiaoyao and the others arrived. "Is this the Star Palace treasure trove? It's already been opened." Seeing the palace situated underground, overflowing with starlight, Jun Xiaoyao spoke. He knew that it was likely Ye Xingyun and Mo Fan who had gotten there first. But Jun Xiaoyao didn't care. As long as the Star Palace treasure trove was still here, the opportunity couldn't escape. "Enter." Jun Xiaoyao led Yi Yu and the Nine-Headed Lion through the treasure trove's gate. Subsequently, the Heavenly Star Holy Son, Zhao Lie, Chu Hongyi, and the others arrived. When they saw the Star Palace treasure trove, they were also stunned for a moment, then hurriedly flashed inside, afraid they wouldn't be able to seize any opportunities. As for the remaining prodigies, only a very small number managed to reach this place. The vast majority of cultivators had died halfway, without even catching a glimpse of the Star Palace treasure trove.
Inside the Star Palace treasure trove, Jun Xiaoyao and his group were moving through. The entire treasure trove was divided into numerous spaces, each filled with all sorts of rare treasures. "I didn't expect there to be such a treasure trove in the Lower Realm," the Nine-Headed Lion clicked its tongue. Its own origin was extremely extraordinary, with countless resources since birth, but the variety of treasures here was so abundant that even its eyes were a little dazzled. "These are just the cheapest things. There's no need to waste time on them," Jun Xiaoyao said, shaking his head faintly. His standards were even higher than the Nine-Headed Lion's; he didn't even deign to look at these things. The truly valuable things in the Star Palace treasure trove were in the deepest part. The Heavenly Star Holy Son and the others also came in. Seeing the treasures scattered all over the floor, they were truly shaken. "Hmm? I can sense a dense power of the stars up ahead!" The Heavenly Star Holy Son's eyes flashed, and he darted towards a compartment of the treasure trove. Seeing this, Zhao Lie and Chu Hongyi also followed closely. This compartment of the treasure trove resembled a starry sky. Numerous star-like crystals were twinkling within it. "Those are... Star Cores!" The Heavenly Star Holy Son's eyes widened. A Star Core was the core of a star's essence, containing extremely concentrated power. It could be said that the energy of one Star Core was roughly equivalent to one low-grade Immortal Source. And here, as far as the eye could see, there were thousands of them, densely packed! "Star Cores, comparable to low-grade Immortal Sources!" Excitement also showed in Chu Hongyi's beautiful eyes. Zhao Lie couldn't hold back any longer. He strode out, about to collect the Star Cores. Just then, a terrifying fluctuation came. From the depths of the starry sky filled with Star Cores, a giant Star Beast suddenly poked its head out. It was a Star Beast that resembled a Giant Kun. "Divine Fire Realm!" Upon sensing the aura fluctuations of this Giant Kun, Zhao Lie's face turned deathly pale. The Giant Kun did not give Zhao Lie any time to react and swallowed him in one gulp. Zhao Lie, perished! "Run!" The Heavenly Star Holy Son and Chu Hongyi were so scared their souls almost fled their bodies. They hurriedly turned to leave. A Divine Fire Realm Star Beast was definitely not something they could handle. However, the next moment, with a puchi sound, the Heavenly Star Holy Son was also swallowed by the Giant Kun. In the end, only Chu Hongyi was left. Her pretty face was as white as paper. With her strength, she would definitely not be able to escape being devoured by this Divine Fire Realm Giant Kun.
Just as this Giant Kun opened its giant mouth, about to devour Chu Hongyi, a sword light carrying the aura of time swept over, stabbing straight into the Giant Kun's mouth. Instantly, the Giant Kun let out a pained roar. Following that were attacking techniques like flaming arrows and the Dauntless Lion Seal. A look of joy from having survived a disaster appeared on Chu Hongyi's charming face. She turned her head and saw the figure resembling a white-robed sword immortal. It was Jun Xiaoyao. Yi Yu and the Nine-Headed Lion flanked it from the left and right, dealing with the Giant Kun. "I didn't expect there to be so many Star Cores here," Jun Xiaoyao said, completely ignoring Chu Hongyi. The reason he had acted was because he had seen those Star Cores. Each Star Core was comparable to a low-grade Immortal Source. These several thousand Star Cores were equivalent to several thousand Immortal Sources. The cultivation of the Da Luo Immortal Bone didn't necessarily require Immortal Sources; any resource with equivalent energy would do. Star Cores were one of them. "Thank you, Lord Divine Child, for saving me! Hongyi is endlessly grateful!" Joy from her narrow escape from death, along with apprehension, was in Chu Hongyi's expression. But she bit her lip and still braced herself to step forward and express her thanks. "Mm, no need. I only did it for the Star Cores," Jun Xiaoyao replied faintly. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Chu Hongyi's lips. On the Starfall Continent, she was the dream lover of countless male prodigies. Yet Jun Xiaoyao hadn't even given her a proper look. Chu Hongyi also knew that she and Jun Xiaoyao could not be people of the same world. After thanking him, she left dejectedly. Jun Xiaoyao didn't notice that he had already broken a beautiful woman's heart. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have felt anything. There were plenty of women who liked him. Was he supposed to console every single one of them? Obviously not. Soon, the Giant Kun was killed under the combined attack of Yi Yu and the Nine-Headed Lion. Jun Xiaoyao then collected the several thousand Star Cores. After finishing, Jun Xiaoyao looked towards the depths of the Star Palace treasure trove and smiled faintly. "Next, let me see what kind of opportunity that Ye Xingyun can bring me..."
Meanwhile, Ye Xingyun and Mo Fan, who had entered a step ahead, did not waste time in other places. Although those opportunities had dazzled Mo Fan's eyes, Ye Xingyun knew that the most important opportunities and inheritances were in the depths of the Star Palace treasure trove. They had also arrived a step ahead. As far as the eye could see, a heavy bronze giant gate lay across the way. "Mo Fan, it's up to you," Ye Xingyun said. Mo Fan was secretly resentful. This Ye Xingyun was simply using him as a tool-person. But Mo Fan was helpless. He could only step forward, place his hand on the bronze giant gate. The Star Figurine in his body sent out a stream of star power, and the entire bronze giant gate rumbled open. "I'm about to get it, the opportunity that belongs to me, Ye Xingyun! Then I'll be able to contend with Jun Xiaoyao!" Ye Xingyun's breathing began to quicken. Finally, the bronze giant gate opened, and the scene within was revealed before Ye Xingyun's eyes. The entire hall was extremely spacious. A total of six massive puppets were lined up on both sides. These six puppets had twinkling star-like spots all over their bodies, as if they were forged from star meteorite iron, and they permeated with the aura of the Saint realm. "These are... Star-Splitting Divine Puppets!" Ye Xingyun's heart shook. These Star-Splitting Divine Puppets were Saint-level puppets, a rare sight even in the Immortal Domain. After all, puppets comparable to the Saint level were still very rare. And here, there were a total of six of them! But the most important thing was not this, but what was in the center of the six Star-Splitting Divine Puppets. There was a tall throne of stars. And on the throne, a figure clad as if in the sun, moon, and stars, was sitting majestically! It was the very figure that had appeared countless times in Ye Xingyun's memories!
