This was a perfectly round blue bead the size of a thumb. Its color was muddy and gray, and if it was thrown on the ground, no one would pick it up, to the extent where they wouldn't even give it a glance. It was hard to believe that this was a Star Stone.
If it were not for Chu Li's amazing intuition, he would not have treated this dull stone bead as a treasure. He would not have thought that it was the famous Star Stone.
Moreover, this small bead was not found on Xu Yongning's chest but in one of his sleeves. It was as if he had picked it up casually and did not care about it at all. It was easy to overlook it.
He pinched the Star Stone and narrowed his eyes. Even though he was usually calm, he couldn't help but feel excited. After spending so much effort, he finally obtained this Star Stone. It could make the power of his Heaven Peering Technique even stronger, reaching the peak level.
After learning the Peering Skill, he realized that it was not as powerful as he imagined but he did not lose heart. He had been waiting for this Star Stone. As long as he had the Star Stone, it would be like adding wings to a tiger and the Peering Skill would be able to unleash its power.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He activated the Heavenly Heart Technique and began to use the Peering Skill.
After a while, he frowned and opened his eyes. He looked down at the Star Stone.
After using the Peering Skill for a while, nothing happened. Not only did the Peering Skill not strengthen, it weakened. His mind was in chaos as if the Peering Skill was suppressed. He could not see the fragments of fate or any images.
He looked up and down at this ordinary-looking stone bead. Apart from its faint blue color, there was really no way to tell that it was a Star Stone. Could it be that he had made a mistake? Was this something Xu Yongning used to confuse him, and the real Star Stone was hidden somewhere else?
Unfortunately, he did not let Xu Yongning wake up to prevent any more problems.
If he followed his previous plan, he would first cripple Xu Yongning's martial arts, then wake him up and use the Omniscient Mirror to see through his mind. Finally, he would find the Star Stone and understand its secret.
This time, he did not follow that plan. He only killed Xu Yongning when he was unconscious because he was worried that Xu Yongning would have a trump card.
It would have been fine if it were anyone else, but Xu Yongning was the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries, a man of incredible foresight. Perhaps, he had already prepared a trump card beforehand. As long as he woke up, even if he had to cripple his cultivation, he would still be able to turn the tables.
He couldn't be careless when dealing with this kind of guy who could see through fate. He would rather not find the Star Stones than wake him up. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to find the Star Stones, but his own life would also be in danger. After all, his cultivation was not as good as Xu Yongning's.
He touched the Star Stone for a long time, and finally nodded slowly. This was indeed a Star Stone. His strong intuition told him this, so there was no need to doubt it anymore. However, he did not find the specific usage of the Star Stone.
Suddenly, a bold idea popped into his mind. He would impersonate Xu Yongning and go to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets!
He immediately dispelled this thought. Impersonating an ordinary disciple was fine, but impersonating Xu Yongning was hopeless. The Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries had far too many secrets. If he were to be exposed with just a few words, he would be courting death.
Perhaps the Star Stone needed to be refined bit by bit through the Heavenly Heart Sutra. He frowned and pondered for a while. Eventually, he gave up. It was safest to turn into Xu Hun first and slowly find out how to use the Star Stone.
He let out a long sigh and placed the Star Stone on his chest. He pondered for a moment, and then appeared in the depths of a dense forest in a flash.
The dense forest had turned into a battlefield. The people of the Virgin Palace were being besieged by more than 30 masters from the Divine Blood Church.
The ten women of the Virgin Palace were floating, and their swords were like lightning. They turned into a silver waterfall and blocked the palm strength of the masters from the Divine Blood Church. The ten men in the circle stabbed their swords from time to time, injuring the masters from the Divine Blood Church.
However, these masters from the Divine Blood Church did not seem to care after being injured. It was as if they had been bitten by mosquitoes, and they continued to attack. This was the advantage of the Bloody Garment Divine Power. Their bodies were full of vigor, and they could quickly stop the wounds after being injured. Their recovery ability was amazing.
Moreover, their Bloody Garment Divine Power was a unique protective Upstanding Qi that could isolate the erosion of internal energy. If one's cultivation was lower than theirs, it would be useless even if they were hit by palm strength. The palm strength would be directly dissolved by the Bloody Garment Divine Power.
Although one would be injured if one was stabbed by a weapon, as long as one's cultivation level was not higher than theirs, it would only be a flesh wound. As long as one was not stabbed in the vital parts, it did not matter how many injuries one suffered as they would recover quickly. It was the energy of the Bloody Garment Divine Power that was consumed.
Chu Li's Light Blade was terrifying to them, and they were deeply afraid of it. This was because Chu Li's inner energy was strong, and the flying blades often hit the vital parts. Even with the protection of the Bloody Garment Divine Power, it was still life-threatening.
When Xu Yin saw Chu Li, he hurriedly said, "Brother Zhao, why are you back?"
Chu Li suddenly appeared behind the masters from the Divine Blood Church and asked, "Can you do it?"
"No problem, we're just playing with them!" Xu Yin smiled.
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "Look at the situation now. Where are the Prophecy Pavilion and the others?"
"They've already escaped!" Xu Yin said. "They run faster than us!"
"It's time to use our secret skills, right?" Chu Li's energy blades shot out and sent four masters from the Divine Blood Church flying. The pressure on the people of the Virgin Palace was instantly reduced, and they hurriedly sped up.
Xu Yin said, "Our secret skills are different from theirs. We can't use them unless it's a critical moment. Brother Zhao, you're amazing. You can escape from Wei Wuwei's pursuit!"
Chu Li shook his head and said, "Wei Wuwei is going after Pavilion Leader Xu. He can't take care of me. Don't hold back and leave as soon as possible!"
"Alright, we'll listen to you, Brother Zhao!" Xu Yin smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a long roar. The long sword in his hand suddenly lit up, and his speed suddenly increased. Like a flash of lightning, he instantly leaped out of the Virgin Palace's sword formation and landed beside the masters from the Divine Blood Church.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!" The sound of the sword whistled. It was invincible, and none of the masters from the Divine Blood Church could block it.
Most of the masters from the Divine Blood Church had already used their secret skills, and their speed and strength had greatly increased. However, in front of his fast sword, they seemed clumsy. He stabbed them more than ten times, and ten masters fell.
"Young Xu, come back quickly!" A middle-aged woman shouted.
"I'm coming!" Xu Yin responded and stabbed another master from the Divine Blood Church. Suddenly, his face turned pale, and he stopped moving.
The master from the Divine Blood Church was stabbed in the chest, but his expression did not change. He glared at Xu Yin fiercely, and at the same time, he attacked with his Blood Jade Palm. It was obvious that he wanted to injure both sides, but he did not expect that he would actually hit Xu Yin.
"Ding!" Chu Li's flying blade hit the long sword. The flying blade contained a huge force that could not be blocked. Xu Yin and the master from the Divine Blood Church were sent flying at the same time, but they also avoided this palm.
Xu Yin was limp in the air as if his bones were pulled out. A bitter smile appeared on his pale face.
Chu Li floated over and caught him. He shook his head and said, "What kind of secret skill is this? It's too overbearing!"
"I owe you a life." Xu Yin shook his head and sighed. He smiled weakly. "This is my Overlord Sword Technique. It's not bad, right?"
"It's very powerful!" Chu Li nodded. "No wonder you haven't used your secret skill."
