"Yes."
Luo Feng nodded, touched his hair, and said with a wry smile, "In order to avoid repetition, I racked my brains, and my hair is about to fall off."
"The design of this Star Card is quite ingenious and mysterious. It's very different from the common Star Card," Profound Sage seemed to be quite interested in this Star Card and said, "Where did you get the inspiration?"
Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "When I was young, I loved to dream. In my dreams, I went to many strange places, and according to the inspiration I got from my dreams, I made a Star Card."
"Your dreams are so rich?" Profound Sage ridiculed.
"Yes." Luo Feng's old face turned red, and said, "It's still necessary to have dreams."
Profound Sage looked at Luo Feng with interest and said, "Can you let me see your other Star Card?"
Luo Feng nodded, took off the Emperor Battle Armor, and then summoned the other Star Card one by one:
Uzumaki Ninja Frog, Uchiha Skin God, Gatling Buddha, Iron Man, Fa Hai …
"Not bad, not bad at all."
Profound Sage's gaze swept over these Star Card one by one. In his heart, besides admiration, there seemed to be some inexplicable feelings.
Luo Feng smiled bitterly, and said, "Speaking of which, I was just lucky. I thought that since there are so many Star Card Masters in the Tianyuan Continent, it would be easy for them to come up with the same idea. However, these Star Card patterns of mine have never been drawn before, so they easily passed the review of the Star Card System."
Profound Sage nodded, and said, "Indeed, when you draw a Star Card, you have the copyright of that Star Card. So, if the Star Card made by others is too similar to yours, it won't pass the review."
"But, if you die in battle, all the copyrights of your Star Card will be cleared and dissipated."
"At this time, if someone else makes a Star Card that is similar to yours, they can also pass the Star Card System's review."
"So that's how it is." Luo Feng suddenly understood. After his death, the copyright would be released, which was a good thing.
Otherwise, if this continued, the Star Card Masters of this world might really run out of ideas and be unable to create a new Star Card.
Profound Sage was silent for a while, and then said, "Of course, it's not just death. If you voluntarily give up all your Star Card copyrights, then others can also create a Star Card similar to yours."
"Under normal circumstances, no one would voluntarily give up their Star Card copyright, right?" Luo Feng said.
The Profound Sage's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
"Senior, you told me to find the next three relics. Where are they?" Luo Feng looked at him curiously.
The Profound Sage said, "The Sacred Bone is in a place called Longyuan Swamp. As for the Sacred Heart and Sacred Spirit, after you obtain the Sacred Bone, you will naturally sense them and know their whereabouts."
"However, you shouldn't be able to go to that place at the moment."
"Then, senior, do you remember a girl called Ruoxi?" Luo Feng was curious.
"Ruoxi?" The Profound Sage was startled. "How did you know her?"
Luo Feng said, "She came to me on her own initiative."
"Why did she come to you?" The Profound Sage's eyes narrowed. "Tell me in detail what happened that day."
Luo Feng scratched his head, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "That day, my nemesis, Qi Xiao, led dozens of people to encircle a Dragon Turtle called Boss. Then, when the Dragon Turtle was about to die, I took the Boss away …"
"Then, when I ran to the grove to count the spoils, she appeared and said that she wanted to take me as her disciple. She said that my actions today reminded her of an old friend …"
The Profound Sage was startled and fell into silence. In the end, he let out a long sigh full of sorrow.
He waved his sleeve, and another jade pendant flew over. It merged with the jade pendant in Luo Feng's hand, forming a complete jade pendant.
He looked at the jade pendant in front of him, and scenes of the past appeared in his mind.
It was two months before the old Emperor Yan sent Zhou Sheng to the Nebula Army to challenge them.
In the stone pavilion.
The young man was handsome, and the young woman was beautiful.
They were the young Xiao Xuan and Ruoxi.
Ruoxi smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Xuan, do you want to accept the challenge?"
"I don't think this matter has anything to do with me. After all, it's very important. I'm just a five Star Card Master. What can I do?" Xiao Xuan sighed.
"Not necessarily."
Ruoxi said, "Although according to the rules, as long as the person is a six Star Card Master, the other party has sent a junior. For the sake of our reputation, I'm afraid our army won't send an old monster to participate."
"It's more likely that we'll send a junior of the same age."
Xiao Xuan rubbed his forehead and said, "Although logically speaking, I'm the number one of the younger generation in the Nebula Army, and I should be the one to fight."
"But there are only two months left until the battle for the commander of the army. With my cultivation speed, it's basically impossible for me to break through to six stars in this period of time."
He drank all the tea in his cup and said, "Although I want to help Master and win glory for the army, my strength doesn't allow me to do so."
Ruoxi looked at Xiao Xuan's appearance and felt a little helpless. She sat quietly on the side and thought of a solution for him.
After thinking for a while, Ruoxi's expression suddenly changed. She stretched her jade-like hand to her neck and took out the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant.
Xiao Xuan looked up and saw that the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant was engraved with complicated patterns, and a desolate aura spread out from it.
Ruoxi played with the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant and said, "This jade pendant has been with me since I was born."
She gently broke it with her hand, and the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant actually split into two pieces.
It wasn't forcefully broken. Instead, it was like two pieces of jade that fit perfectly together.
"Here, this half is for you." Ruoxi held one of the pieces in her small hand and handed it to Xiao Xuan with a smile.
Xiao Xuan was slightly startled. He said, "This is?"
"Touch it first." Ruoxi blinked her beautiful eyes.
So, Xiao Xuan picked up the jade pendant. The moment he touched it, he felt a cold touch. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant glowed, and a gentle force flowed out of it and into his body.
At the same time, he could clearly feel that the astral energy in his body was circulating faster, and his cultivation speed was also much faster.
He had a very strange feeling. With this Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant, he might really be able to break through to the six-star level in two months!
Taking a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions, Xiao Xuan returned the jade pendant and said, "Thank you, but this is too precious."
Ruoxi didn't take it. Instead, she tilted her head slightly, and her long hair fell on both sides of her cheeks. She chuckled and said, "These two pieces of jade are a pair. The two pieces of jade have similar functions. There's no difference whether I have one or two pieces.
"Moreover, I'm lending it to you. When I need it one day, I'll ask you to give it back!
"After all, we're friends. Friends should help each other, shouldn't they?"
…
The words of the past beauty were still ringing in his ears.
After a long time, Saint Xuansheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I've forgotten her. It's just that I left in a hurry. There are some things that I didn't have time to say clearly before the story ended."
He flicked his finger, and the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant flew out and slowly fell into Luo Feng's hand.
"If you meet her again, I hope you can return this Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant to her for me.
"If she asks about me, you can tell her that everything is destined. If it's fate, we'll meet again."
He looked at Luo Feng and said, "If you meet again, Ruoxi should give you some help for the sake of this Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant.
"Behind Ruoxi is the Nebula Legion. With her, the entire legion won't make things difficult for you."
"Saint Xuansheng, don't worry. I'll definitely give the jade pendant to her personally."
Luo Feng's expression turned serious. He carefully put away the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant and said, "Saint Xuansheng, have you really fallen completely?"
Saint Xuansheng's eyes flickered. He pondered for a while and said, "My situation is quite complicated. I can't explain it to you clearly in a short time, so you don't have to worry about it. Just treat it as if I've fallen.
"However, when you gather the four items and synthesize the Saintly Body, we should be able to meet again."
"Many thanks, Saint Xuansheng."
Luo Feng nodded, seeming to understand. He cupped his hands together and said, "Junior will definitely not disappoint Saint Xuansheng. I will find your legacy, unlock the Saintly Body, and carry on senior's will."
Saint Xuansheng smiled. "You don't have to thank me. Mediocre people can't reach here. You fought for this opportunity yourself."
Luo Feng looked at Saint Xuansheng. After he absorbed the golden liquid, Saint Xuansheng's figure had become much fainter.
Evidently, without the Saint blood as a carrier, this remnant will wouldn't be able to persist for long.
Luo Feng stared blankly, and inexplicable respect and admiration rose in his heart. The current him was too insignificant, and he still didn't know what Saint Xuansheng had experienced.
But in order to protect his master and the peace of the Tianyuan Region, Saint Xuansheng didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself. Such righteousness was enough to make him revere him.
"Alright, I've explained everything. Next, it's up to your luck."
In the silent world, the transparent figure rippled faintly.
Saint Xuansheng smiled, but there was a trace of regret in his eyes.
"With you in this world, I can rest assured. Goodbye."
Saint Xuansheng's eyes slowly closed.
His body grew fainter and fainter.
Gradually, he, who was like a lamp that had run out of oil, turned into spiritual light that filled the sky and dissipated between heaven and earth.
"Farewell, Saint Xuansheng!"
Watching Xiao Xuan's figure slowly disappear, Luo Feng felt as if his heart was being ruthlessly squeezed. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in the direction where Xiao Xuan had disappeared.
Although he had never met Saint Xuansheng before, the latter gave him a natural sense of closeness.
Chi.
At this moment, the ancient door slowly opened, and Mu Qingluan's figure appeared in front of him again.
"How was it?" Mu Qingluan asked curiously, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
Luo Feng didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, giving her a meaningful smile.
A smile blossomed from the corners of Mu Qing Luan's mouth when she saw this scene. At this moment, she understood.
She could clearly feel that the current Luo Feng had a completely different temperament compared to before.
He was like a hidden dragon that was about to come out of the abyss.
"This trip to Heavenly Abyss was not in vain."
Luo Feng raised his head and recalled all kinds of things in the ruins. He sighed inexplicably in his heart, then smiled and said, "Let's go."
"Okay." Mu Qingluan nodded.
Thus, the two of them took out teleportation stones at the same time and crushed them.
Whoosh!
The next moment, two pillars of light soared into the sky, wrapped around their figures, and teleported them out of Heavenly Abyss.
At this time, outside Heavenly Abyss, it was unusually lively, and countless figures flew out continuously.
When Luo Feng and Mu Qingluan came out together, they attracted countless gazes in an instant. These gazes were full of awe and amazement.
The famous scene of Luo Feng wiping out the Star Card Masters of the Western Sacred District and Fahai fighting against Desolation was still deeply imprinted in their minds.
Especially when Fahai was chanting the incantation, that thunderous roar had brainwashed them even more.
In the crowd, Xie Yang secretly glanced at Luo Feng, and his face was a little ugly.
After today's incident, he was afraid that he would become the laughingstock of the entire Holy Land.
He clenched his fists, and his face darkened slightly. If he wanted to clear his name, his only chance was perhaps the next match.
If he could defeat Luo Feng in the arena, then who would doubt him?
At that time, he was afraid that everyone would change the topic and say that Luo Feng only knew how to use some tricks.
Su Yang walked over and patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Little guy, I know all about the commotion you caused inside."
"I have to say, this news is extremely comforting."
Luo Feng looked bitter, and said, "I was so scared that I was really forced to counterattack."
Su Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "Well, go back and cultivate well, and prepare for the semifinals and finals."
"Of course, calm your mind. Winning or losing is not important, the most important thing is to participate."
Luo Feng nodded.
They waited outside for a moment, and when all the Star Card Masters came out, the mentors led the way and sent them back to the Holy Land.
Luo Feng went into the cave residence, entered the cultivation room, and began to cultivate.
He sat cross-legged and looked down at his mind, only to see a drop of golden liquid quietly floating there.
"Whether I'm a dragon or a worm, it depends on my efforts."
Luo Feng took a deep breath and slowly calmed his mind. Then, he clenched his teeth and injected his astral energy into the drop.
Boom!
In the next moment, Luo Feng's face changed abruptly. He felt an indescribably terrifying force spread out from his body!
It was as if there was a flame burning inside his body.
His flesh began to dissipate at a terrifying pace.
"Ah!"
The terrible pain spread out. Luo Feng's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but roar at the sky.
In a few breaths, his body melted rapidly, and in the end, he became a skeleton!
Around him, thousands of fluorescent dots flickered.
In the next moment, the dots of light whizzed over, fell into the skeleton-like body, and gradually merged with it.
Boom!
An extremely powerful aura of life swept over, and wherever it touched, flesh and blood were instantly reborn!
In just a few breaths, Luo Feng's skeleton-like body was restored to its original state.
However, before he could rejoice, flames rose in his body again. Luo Feng's newly restored flesh and blood were burned again!
Luo Feng's face was distorted. He clenched his teeth, stubbornly stubborn, and his eyes were full of determination.
If he had just transmigrated, he would not have been able to endure such pain.
However, after more than half a year of cultivation, his temperament had already transformed, and he was tenacious and indomitable.
"Again!"
He roared.
His body was burned, and then a majestic aura of life poured in. His body was rebuilt, burned, and rebuilt again. The cycle repeated itself …
In between the destruction and rebirth, his body became more and more perfect, and the fluctuation of astral energy in his body gradually became stronger.
…
Time flew.
As the noise caused by the Heavenly Abyss Ruins gradually subsided, the upcoming semi-finals and finals of the Holy Land League began to set off a huge uproar in the Yan Dynasty.
The Holy Land was the dream of countless people in the Yan Dynasty.
The Holy Land League represented the pinnacle of the Yan Dynasty's younger generation.
Therefore, everyone was looking forward to seeing who would become famous in one battle. Who would shine and become a legend of the generation?
"It's an irresponsible guess. In the end, Jiang Chen and Luo Feng will participate in the finals, and Luo Shen will lose the first place and win the championship with tears in his eyes."
"Tsk, the lots haven't been drawn yet. Maybe Jiang Chen and Luo Feng will meet in the semi-finals."
"Emm, to be honest, I don't think Luo Feng will win. Although his performance in the Heavenly Abyss Ruins was amazing, he's only a Six Star Card Disciple. According to his rule of one star per month, he'll only be a Seven Star Card Disciple when the competition starts."
"If he's a Seven Star Card Disciple, he'll have a higher chance of winning if he meets a Seven Star Card Disciple. He might even be able to fight the Eight Star Card Disciple, Ye Xiaomeng. But if he's in front of a Star Card Disciple, Jiang Chen, who's going to beat him?"
"Yeah, Jiang Chen has already become a Star Card Disciple. He'll definitely be the champion. Now, we'll see who will be the first place."
"…"
Discussions rose one after another. Indeed, due to the huge gap between their cultivation levels, almost everyone thought that Jiang Chen would definitely be the champion.
Because there was no suspense at all.
In the midst of these discussions, half a month had passed since Luo Feng went into seclusion.
…
In the cave.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged, flames rising around his body.
Sizzle.
His flesh and blood melted, making a slight sizzling sound.
However, Luo Feng's face was calm, as if he didn't feel this kind of pain. Indeed, after half a month of being cremated, he was already numb to it.
Although he had suffered inhumane torture for half a month, the strength of his body had increased to a very powerful level.
Boom!
There seemed to be a sudden thunderclap that exploded from Luo Feng's body.
A strong wave of astral qi burst out from his body like a storm. Compared to before, it was much stronger.
"Seven Star!"
"Eight Star!"
"Nine Star!"
His aura rose steadily, like the rolling waters of the east rushing into the sea, unstoppable.
Soon, all nine star meridians were opened!
His body suddenly became transparent and ethereal.
However, after reaching nine stars, the aura didn't stop there, but continued to move forward!
"Since the nine meridians have been opened, the next step is to form the star mansion, right?"
Luo Feng murmured.
The so-called star mansion was the place where astral qi was stored in the body, like a container for water.
In the card master realm, one had to build nine star mansions. The more star mansions one had, the more astral qi they could store.
The Taiyi True Water Art that he had practiced previously required him to open up the Sea of Qi in his body. Opening up the Sea of Qi was the same as the star mansion.
It could be said that the Sea of Qi was the small star mansion.
Now, he was going to open up the real star mansion. If he succeeded, he would be considered to have truly stepped into the card master realm.
"Let's begin."
Luo Feng took a deep breath. Immediately, the nine star meridians spewed out astral qi, which gathered at his lower abdomen, forming a whirlpool that kept spinning.
The whirlpool started to spin as soon as it appeared. It spun faster and faster until it was dazzling.
Luo Feng looked down at the whirlpool, his heart thumping nervously. He felt that the whirlpool was going to split apart at any moment, but it was still standing firm.
Boom!
Just as the whirlpool was spinning to its limit, an origin point suddenly appeared!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Almost at the same time when the origin point appeared in his body, the astral qi in his body seemed to be attracted and rushed into it.
As the astral qi continued to flow in, the black origin point started to expand, and finally turned into a spherical space.
A ray of golden light bloomed and filled the entire space, giving it a bright golden color and majestic aura.
The first star mansion was successfully opened!
At this moment, Luo Feng's closed eyes slowly opened. Astral qi shot out from the center of his eyes, and a shocking sense of oppression slowly spread out from his body.
A Star Card Master!
Inside the cave, Luo Feng felt the vigorous astral qi in his Sea of Qi, and an unconcealable joy appeared on his face.
A drop of Saint blood had allowed him to reach the sky in a single bound, saving him almost a year of effort.
Moreover, Senior Profound Sage had said that the increase in realm brought by the Saint blood was just a side effect.
The most important thing was to cleanse the marrow and perfect the foundation.
It was true that his cultivation speed was several times faster than before.
"A drop of Saint blood is already so subtle. I'm really curious. What kind of power will it have when it completely condenses into a Saint Body?"
Luo Feng's eyes were full of expectation.
"Next, it's time to prepare for the semi-finals."
His eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
…
In the Western Sacred District.
A young man was sitting cross-legged. Astral qi was rising around him, making him look quite extraordinary.
Beside him was an old man named Ye Ming, the dean of the Fourth Courtyard.
Boom!
At this moment, his aura was rising steadily, and he soon broke through the barrier of the Seven Star Card and stepped into the Eight Star Card!
"Disciple, congratulations on becoming an Eight Star Card Disciple."
Ye Ming looked at him with a smile, clapping his hands and praising, "I thought it would take at least two more months."
Xie Yang's face was also filled with unconcealable joy. A cold light surged in his eyes as he said, "Speaking of which, I also have to thank Luo Feng. If he hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have had such an epiphany these days and broken through to the Eight Star Card so quickly."
Ye Ming nodded, his eyes filled with admiration. "I'm very satisfied that you were able to become brave after knowing shame and turn humiliation into motivation."
"In the past, I was actually a little nervous about whether you could enter the finals. After all, your realm is only higher than Luo Feng in the top four."
"However, from the current situation, as long as your luck isn't too bad and you don't meet Jiang Chen in the semi-finals, then there shouldn't be much of a problem."
"Ye Xiaomeng is also at the Eight Star Card, and you two are at the same realm. It can be said that your chances are fifty-fifty."
"If you meet Luo Feng, then entering the finals will be even more assured."
Xie Yang was taken aback by these words. "Master, that's not what you said before. Didn't you say that you'd rather I meet Ye Xiaomeng?"
Ye Ming shook his head. "That's because you haven't broken through yet. If you hadn't, then you'd still be at the Seven Star Card Card level. However, although Luo Feng is at the Six Star Card Card level, he may have broken through to the Seven Star Card Card Card level before the competition."
"If that's the case, then your chances of winning aren't high, because Luo Feng has never lost to anyone at the same realm."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "But it's different now. You've broken through."
"Although Luo Feng's moves are stunning and he seems to be fighting very fiercely and unstoppably all the way, you have to know that the premise of this is that he and his opponent are at the same level in every match."
"After he came out of Heaven Abyss, I secretly probed him. His cultivation base is still at the early stage of the sixth star realm.
"Let's just say that he's lucky. At most, he'll only be able to break through to seven-star before the start of the competition. You're an eight-star, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to fight against a seven-star, right?"
There was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth as he said, "I'm afraid that's what he's thinking right now too. He hopes that you'll be ranked first, and then he'll eliminate you using the rule of winning against those of the same cultivation level."
"However, I don't think he would have expected that your cultivation would also increase when his cultivation level increased."
Hearing this, Xie Yang's confidence exploded. There was unconcealable excitement in his eyes. "Don't worry, Master. If I meet him in the semi-finals, I will make him pay for all the humiliation I suffered in Heaven's Abyss."
He counted on his fingers and realized that it would be about 30 days before the start of the competition.
"Thirty days to the west, thirty days to the east. You didn't expect this, did you?"
