Nine Astra Skies

543 The star soul is a race

~~

Ye chen picked up one of the boxes, removed the lock on it, and opened it.

With a soft “poof,” a cloud of black dust appeared.

Damn it! He didn’t know what had once been in the box, but it had rotted into powder. It was probably something that wasn’t easy to preserve, and it had a choking smell.

Fortunately, it was not poisonous. Ye chen had no choice but to throw the box away.

Ye chen picked up the second box. This box was larger and required two hands to hold it. He carefully opened the lid and looked inside. He saw an entire set of armor inside. This armor was originally silver but after being placed here for tens of thousands of years, the color of the armor had become much dimmer.

Ye chen reached out and touched the surface of the armor. It was cold to the touch and hard. There were all kinds of mysterious array seals engraved on it. An ancient aura hit him in the face. He could confirm that this was not the purple Demon Armor but he did not know what kind of armor it was. There were still sword marks on it. It was clear that the owner of the armor had been through hundreds of battles.

Ye chen could sense that this suit of armor exuded an energy that was even more powerful than the human tier purple Demon Armor!

Ye chen did not know if he could make this armor recognize him as its master. He cut his finger and dripped a few drops of blood on it. When the blood landed on the armor, it sizzled and instantly turned into a blood mist, leaving no trace on the armor.

Ye chen did not feel any signs of this armor recognizing him as its master.

This set of armor was a little strange. He had to find someone to confirm what kind of armor it was.

Ye chen closed the box and kept it in the armguard space.

He continued to open box after box. Ye chen obtained three sets of human tier purple Demon Armor, some medicinal pills, soul Jade essence, and other items. It was not bad but there was nothing particularly tempting. In the end, there were two wooden boxes left unopened.

The first two boxes should be the first items of the auction house, and the last two should be the last treasures!

Ye chen opened the smallest box and looked at the contents. He was stunned for a moment. There was a fruit quietly placed in the box. The fruit was pink in color and crystal clear as if it was carved out of Jade. It was as if water would drip out of it at any time. A strong fragrance wafted into his nose. The faint fragrance in the entire back hall was coming from this fruit.

Tens of thousands of years had passed, but this fruit still looked as if it had just been picked. It was fresh and tender, and the fragrance of the fruit was overflowing!

However, what surprised ye chen the most was not how magical the fruit was, but that it was exactly the same as the fruit produced by the Spirit Tree in the ye clan’s Valley!

Although the fruits on the Spirit Tree had not fully ripened yet, this fruit should be fully ripened. However, the appearance and fragrance were basically the same, so ye chen would not be mistaken.

Since this fruit could become the finale of the auction, it must be extraordinary. He just didn’t know what it was called and what function it had. Although ye chen had done a lot of research, he still did not know what kind of tree the Spirit Tree in the ye clan Valley was.

It seemed that the spiritual tree had a mysterious origin that was far beyond his imagination.

Ye chen carefully put away the fruit and prepared to find someone to ask about it.

Ye chen looked at the last wooden box, wondering what was in it. He let out a soft breath and opened the box. A tortoise-shell compass appeared in ye Chen’s sight. The compass was engraved with all kinds of mysterious symbols and in the center was a floating needle. It could be seen that this thing was very ancient. Looking at the compass, he seemed to be able to see endless stars, like the vast starry sky.

He wondered what this compass was used for. Could it be used for divination?

Sensing the mysterious and vast power on the compass, ye chen had a feeling that this item was even more powerful than the heaven rumbling cauldron! When he had first activated the heaven rumbling cauldron, it had almost sucked in his psyche. Ye chen did not dare to activate the compass anymore.

It was better to first find out what this compass was used for.

Ye chen, Little Wing, and the others had swept the entire floating city clean, leaving not even a strand of hair behind. Ye chen was still a little embarrassed and hoped that senior Tian Yuan would not take offense.

The seventh floor of the sunken Jade Tower was fraught with danger. Even those in the spirit sea realm could not guarantee their safety. Ye chen decided not to go in for the time being. He would come back after his cultivation base had improved!

This time, ye chen had gained a lot. Just the eight sets of human tier purple Demon Armor were enough to make ye chen extremely excited. He had come here for them! As for the set of battle armor, spirit fruits, and compass, they were a pleasant surprise. He would leave them aside for now and determine their uses when he had the opportunity.

Just as ye chen and the others were about to leave, a deep, ancient voice rang out. It was senior Tian Yuan!

the simu astrolabe in your hands is one of the six great star soul Dao artifacts on the Tian Yuan planet. You must take good care of it and not let it fall into the hands of the ancestral fiend! Senior Tian Yuan’s voice reached ye Chen’s ears. His tone was unprecedentedly serious.

“A star soul Dao artifact?”

“That’s right. On the Tian Yuan continent, above spirit treasures are Dao artifacts. Dao artifacts are divided into nine grades. Supreme treasures like the soul Pearl and the heaven rumbling cauldron in your hands are also Dao artifacts, but they’re all Dao artifacts that can grow. There are very few Dao artifacts in the world, and they are extremely expensive.”

Senior Tian Yuan paused for a moment and said, ” “The most powerful Dao artifacts are the star soul Dao artifacts. There are only six of them on the entire Tian Yuan continent. The simu astrolabe in your hands can calculate the secrets of heaven. Even I can’t see its profoundness. In order to prevent it from falling into the hands of the ancestral fiend, I activated the sunken Jade Tower and kept this Star City. With your current strength, you can’t activate it yet.”

This compass was actually so powerful!

Even senior Tian Yuan could not see through the mystery within. Ye chen was secretly shocked. He did not know who had made this compass.

“Senior Tian Yuan, what exactly is an ancestral fiend?”

at the mention of the ancestral fiend, tian yuan’s emotions seemed to fluctuate. he paused before saying, ” “Ancestral fiends are also known as heavenly fiends. They are an alien race that feeds on star souls and are mortal enemies of star souls. In this vast universe, there’s a race called Xing hun.”

“Xing hun is a race?” Ye chen was stunned.

“That’s right, everyone thinks that Xing hun is lifeless. Only when one reaches the star Lord level will they truly understand that Xing hun is a race, and the most ancient race. They are our mother race, and they were the ones who created us. In the vast universe, only a very small number of celestial bodies could give birth to an Astral Soul. When an Astral Soul was born, it would have intelligence and consciousness. They don’t have any combat strength, and there’s an ancestral fiend in the universe. In order to resist the ancestral fiend, they began to create intelligent life.”

“In other words, we were created by Xing hun?” Ye chen was shocked. It turned out that the astral souls were the creators of all intelligent life forms. They were hidden but omnipresent, controlling the fate of everyone on the planet.

“That’s right, they are our Masters of creation. They created intelligent life to fight against the ancestral fiend. Once they are devoured, the intelligent life they created will disappear. Only by fusing with an Astral Soul can we possess extraordinary talent and obtain powerful strength. In order to survive, we have to resist the ancestral fiends that come from the depths of the cosmos.”

Ye chen finally understood why some celestial bodies were suitable for life but did not give birth to any intelligent life. It was because those celestial bodies had not yet given birth to an Astral Soul. Only planets that had an Astral Soul would give birth to intelligent life.

“The simu astrolabe was refined from the star soul of the Tianyuan planet. Even at my peak, I could only unleash one-ten-thousandth of its power. Whether you can activate it or not will depend on your luck. It seems that you’ve been to the Tian Yuan continent and know a few things. What’s the degree of your Astral Soul Fusion?” Tian Yuan asked.

“0?”Ye chen answered honestly.

“His Astral Soul Fusion rate is 0? How did this happen?” Tian Yuan muttered, ” could it be that you’re not a candidate for the star Lord? Who could it be? If one’s Astral Soul Fusion rate is 0, it’s absolutely impossible for one to become a star Lord, because one would be completely unable to use the power of their Astral Soul.”

Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat. It turned out that senior Tian Yuan had mistakenly thought that ye chen was the next candidate for the star Lord. It seemed that ye chen had disappointed him.

“Forget it. I can feel that the cultivation technique you practice is somewhat special. Moreover, the creator of that Flying Dagger is also an Almighty existence. You might not even need to use the power of your Astral Soul to become an expert. As for how great your achievements will be in the future, it’ll all be up to you.” Tian Yuan’s voice gradually drifted away.

“Senior Tian Yuan, please wait!” Ye chen still wanted to ask what the armor and spirit Tree fruit in his hands were, but Tian Yuan’s voice had already disappeared without a trace.

Senior Tian Yuan was really elusive. Ye chen looked around. All he could see was an empty and boundless darkness. In the darkness, ye chen seemed to feel a pair of eyes watching him. It was not senior Tian Yuan, but the astral Soul that senior Tian Yuan had mentioned.

‘Perhaps it’s just my imagination,’ ye chen thought.

Perhaps to the star Soul Clan, humans, mystical beasts, and celestial beasts were merely their creations. To intelligent life forms like humans, mystical beasts, and celestial beasts, they were the Supreme creators. No one knew how they viewed the intelligent life forms on the heaven’s origin planet.

After collecting everything in the floating city, ye chen brought Little Wing and the rest back to the ye clan Valley. Other than the eight sets of human tier purple Demon Armor, the silver armor, the spirit wood fruit, and the simu astrolabe, ye chen prepared to leave the rest of the items to his clan for ye zhantian, ye changxuan, and the others to handle.

“Father, granduncle, I still have some matters to take care of. Once I’m done, I’ll immediately return to the Tian Yuan continent.” Ye chen said reluctantly. The responsibility on his shoulders was too heavy. He had to hurry.

“Why are you in such a hurry to go back?” Ye zhantian was surprised and a hint of sadness appeared on his face. However, he did not understand the responsibility ye chen had on his shoulders. Time was of the essence, so he instructed, ” you must be careful when you’re out.

“I understand.” Ye chen nodded and said goodbye to each and every one of his clansmen. He said with a determined expression, ” I’ll definitely lead you all to the other side!

Ye chen rose into the air. Ye zhantian, ye changxuan, Little Wing, one buck, and the others kept waving goodbye to ye chen in the ye clan Valley until he disappeared into the distant horizon.

Ye chen took a deep breath and looked into the distance. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. No matter what, he would change the fate of his clansmen. He would not let them die in vain!

He glanced in the direction of the Tian Yuan continent. Other than guiding his clansmen, he had to become an existence at the peak of the world if he wanted to survive in this world!
