"At this rate, I'm afraid he can really break through to the Ka-Wang Realm before the election for the Chief Pavilion Master," Luo Feng murmured.
"That's Zhou Sheng, the Pavilion Master of the Thunder Pavilion."
Luo Feng looked over and saw a man with white hair and an expressionless face. There were thunderbolts swimming in his eyes, and a terrifying sense of oppression slowly emanated from him.
"Is this the man who once fought against a Profound Sage?" Luo Feng's expression was solemn. Just by looking at Zhou Sheng, he could feel a dangerous aura.
"That's Su Qingge, the Pavilion Master of the Cloud Pavilion."
Luo Feng glanced over again, only to see that the young woman had a charming countenance. She was clad in a long green dress, and her reflection on the surface of the water was like a flower, exuding elegance and charm.
Three figures were suspended in the void, and the shocking sense of oppression made it hard for people to breathe.
"Are these the opponents I'll face when I run for the Chief Pavilion Master?"
Luo Feng rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly. He finally knew how difficult it was to become the Chief Pavilion Master.
There were nine stars in the Card Master Realm, and the distance between them was like a mountain. As a three star Card Master, he was five stars and five mountains away from them.
Although he couldn't measure his strength by his level, as the Pavilion Master, they also had the ability to surpass their level.
"Phew!"
Luo Feng took a deep breath and gradually suppressed the emotions in his heart. Fortunately, he still had time.
On the high platform, Jiang Yan looked down. His eyes seemed to be everywhere. It was as if he could see through the underworld and see through everyone.
Luo Feng felt that when Jiang Yan's eyes swept past him, they seemed to pause for a moment before moving away.
At the same time, his voice, mixed with astral qi, resounded between heaven and earth like rolling thunder.
Facing the crowd's worship, Jiang Yan nodded with a smile and said, "A total of 30 commanders from the four pavilions will participate in this Astral Source Ceremony. There are endless opportunities in the Astral Source Realm. I hope all the commanders will do their best."
"And the one who has the last laugh will be able to obtain the Star Source Spirit. If you can obtain the Star Source Spirit, it will definitely allow you to reach a higher level of enlightenment and achieve a greater breakthrough."
The moment these words were spoken, the gazes of the many commanders below suddenly turned fiery hot and filled with fighting spirit.
Jiang Yan looked at the many Star Card Masters who were in an uproar. He smiled and said, "Next, I will announce the rules."
"Firstly, you can't use external items in Astral Source Realm. The external items here refer to those super powerful one-time use magic Star Card, as well as pets or Star Beasts."
Everyone nodded. Both of these things might be bugs and should be banned.
After all, if someone asked Kawang to create a one-time spell-type Star Card that contained the full force of a Kawang warrior, who would be able to withstand it?
Or, he could bring a tamed eight-star or nine-star superbeast and flatten them all the way inside. How would others be able to play then?
"Mina, looks like you can't play with me this time." Luo Feng gently rubbed his arm and looked at the star pattern on it. He said, "Why don't you follow me first?"
Whoosh. With a flash of light, the star pattern turned into Mina. She looked at Luo Feng pitifully and wagged her tail. She said, "Meow, I can't bear to leave you. Don't leave me, okay?"
Luo Feng looked at Chu Man and stroked her gently. He said, "Good girl, I will take good care of you."
"No, I'm your star in life and your cat in death!" Mina lay in his arms and acted like a spoiled child.
Luo Feng was a little helpless. He gave Chu Man a look. The latter understood immediately and gently rubbed the star ring. Instantly, a skewer of jerky appeared.
"Meow?" Mina sniffed and smelled the fragrance of meat. Her eyes lit up.
Swoosh!
The next moment, she jumped into Chu Man's arms and hugged the jerky. She didn't even raise her head as she said, "Don't worry. Go."
Luo Feng: "Yes."
Jiang Yan paused and continued, "The Astral Source Realm is very big. It is divided into the outer and inner areas.
"The best resources and materials, and even the Astral Source Spirits, are all in the inner area. However, if you want to enter the inner area, you have to meet certain conditions."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand. Immediately, thirty balls of light fell into the hands of the various commanders.
Luo Feng reached out and took it. It was a bead the size of a pigeon's egg.
"This is a Star Origin Bead. Everyone is given one Star Origin Bead. There are quite a number of Star Origin Beads scattered around the Outer Region. They might be under ancient trees, at the bottom of lakes, or in the bellies of Star Beasts."
"If you can collect thirty Astral Source Beads, you will be qualified to enter the inner area.
"Therefore, after you enter the outer area, your first task is to collect Astral Source Beads. No matter what method you use, it will be tacitly approved."
Luo Feng's eyes flashed. Was Jiang Yan implying that they could directly snatch the beads from other Star Card Masters?
At this moment, Jiang Yan waved his sleeve. Astral Qi surged and turned into a huge screen.
On the screen were mountains and rivers. It was like a map. There were many markings on it: Blood Prison Island, Ancient Palace, Black Wind Cave …
Jiang Yan pointed at the screen and said, "This map is the general outline of the outer area.
"The closer you are to the center of the outer area, the more Astral Source Beads there are. Similarly, the farther you are from the outer area, the fewer Astral Source Beads there are.
"Later, you will take the void warship and enter the outer area. The outer area will fly from the southeast corner of the outer area to the northwest corner along a diagonal line.
"When the void warship flies, you can choose a place to jump off and collect Astral Source Beads according to your own decision.
"You can jump off at the edge of the outer area. Although there are fewer Astral Source Beads there, there is less competition. It will be much safer and you can slowly develop there.
"You can also jump directly to the Ancient Palace at the center of the outer area and fight head-on. Although there are many Astral Source Beads there, there will also be many Star Card Masters. Therefore, the competition will be very fierce. At the same time, there will be many traps.
"Or you can jump between the edge and the Ancient Palace. There are not many Astral Source Beads there, so the competition will be neither great nor small.
"In addition, each of you will also have a teleportation stone. If you feel that it is not enough, you can crush the teleportation stone and leave the Astral Source Realm. When you leave or die, your Astral Source Beads will be taken away from you and left there for others to pick up."
Hearing Jiang Yan's introduction, Luo Feng's mouth twitched. He rubbed his forehead and muttered, "Is this the outer world's version of PUBG?!"
It smelled like that.
He stared at the map with a heated gaze. In an instant, the unfamiliar Astral Source Realm became familiar.
The Star Card Masters of the Star Card World were really imaginative and knew how to play.
Luo Feng looked at the map and observed the markings on it. Finally, his gaze stopped at a place called Moon Reflection Lake.
Previously, Zhuo Ying had used some tricks to let him know the mysteries of the Moonlight Jade Box. Just like its name, the Moonlight Jade Box could only display its greatest power with the help of moonlight.
Due to the restrictions of the rules, Luo Feng could not bring Mi Na there. Therefore, if they were targeted, the Moonlight Jade Box would be the only thing they could rely on.
But now, it was noon and the sun was blazing. There was no moonlight to speak of.
Therefore, he had to go to Moon Reflection Lake.
Emperor Yan had said that Moon Reflection Lake was an extremely special place. It was always night there, and the moon always hung high in the sky.
"It's just that Moon Reflection Lake is a little awkward."
Luo Feng frowned slightly. Moon Reflection Lake was located at the edge of the outer area. It was not easy to gather thirty Astral Source Beads.
It was really confusing.
"Next, all commanders, get on the void warship."
Jiang Yan flicked his finger. A Star Card flew out and then turned into a huge spaceship, floating in the void.
All the commanders nodded and flew towards the spatial battleship with a single movement.
"Well, I'm off." Luo Feng looked at Chu Man and said.
Chu Man helped him to dress up and said with a smile, "Brother Tu, good luck."
Mi Na complained in her heart, "Repetition of words is disgusting."
Luo Feng did not say anything more. He stamped his foot and soared into the sky. He turned into a light shadow and landed directly on the void warship.
"Let's activate the Astral Source Realm." Jiang Yan looked at Zhou Sheng and Su Qingge and said.
The two nodded. The three of them stared at the boundary outside the Astral Source Realm and suddenly attacked at the same time.
Boom!
Three streams of ferocious star Qi whizzed out of their bodies and slammed into the barrier like giant pillars.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Astral Qi pillars collided, and soon, the boundary slowly shattered, revealing a whirlpool. The whirlpool rotated and looked rather mysterious.
Through the whirlpool, one could vaguely see the ancient Astral Source Realm inside.
"Get ready to go in."
Jiang Yan chuckled. "When you jump off the void warship, remember to prepare your Flight Star Card. Otherwise, it would be bad if you fall to your death and turn into pearls."
Swoosh!
The void warship suddenly started to move and flew towards the whirlpool.
The atmosphere between heaven and earth reached the peak in an instant.
"Go for it, commander Jiang Yuan!"
"Go for it, senior sister Xinrou!"
"Go for it, commander Luo Feng. Show them the power of our Wind Pavilion!"
"......"
At that moment, the Star Card Masters outside were cheering for their commander.
The Star Card masters of the Wind Pavilion were cheering like thunder. They had very few Star Card masters participating in the competition, and Luo Feng represented their face. If he could do something, the Wind Pavilion would definitely be able to wash away their shame in front of the other three pavilions.
Luo Feng took a deep breath as he watched this scene. The blood in his body seemed to be boiling under such an atmosphere.
Who didn't want to become famous in front of so many people? Who didn't want to shine brightly?
Although he had obtained a lot of glory in the Sacred Land, this was not the Sacred Land after all. This was the Four Pavilions.
Here, his story had just begun. He would have to rely on himself for all his achievements.
Thus, the void warship flew through the whirlpool and into the Astral Source Realm amidst the cheers that filled the mountains.
Jiang Yan flicked his finger, and a Star Card flew out from his hand. It soared into the sky and turned into a giant mirror of light. It hung in the air like a bright moon.
On the huge mirror, many Celestial Source Realm cultivators were projected for the Star Card Masters outside the arena to see.
Thus, the excitement of the highly anticipated Astral Source Festival began.
