Chapter 544: Chapter 544

A lot of similar scenes played in the vicinity of the forest. Those who were greedy were killed by the forest and those who knew how to follow the rule of not taking everything were saved by the forest. Even though the trial in the hall of nature is simple and advocates freedom. The death count is still higher than in the hall of water. Well, though most of these failures come from those who didn’t have the supervision of seniors and had entered the dungeon through luck alone.

The real rule of the cultivation world was also at peak in this hall. Those who were weak were either killed or exploited. They got their treasures stolen or used as baits. Many kinds of scenes unfold this way. However, the seniors, most of them, turn blind eye at this scene. After all, in the cultivation world the one with the strongest fist is the rule.

As for the case of those from the Starfield Sect

They are now following the lead of their sect master who had asked Xia Baiyu to do the calculations. After all, a moment later, he is the only one who is capable of avoiding the heavenly punishment whenever he uses star divination. Things are simple calculations when finding uncommon and rare immortal herbs. But when it comes to divine grade ones, even Xia Baiyu can feel impending danger when he calculates.

They had just finished picking a lot of immortal herbs and killed a lot of spirit beasts as well. They are now trying to find a path that shows the way toward those divine grade treasures within the hall.

"Sect Master, I can feel danger when I try to find the locations of Divine herbs. One or two is alright but when I try to find out everything, I can feel danger looming above my head," Xia Baiyu said.

Sect Master Xing Kunlun said, "Hm. Actually, I’ve also tried but I was only allowed to divine one place. Where is your divination pointing at?"

"One northwest and the other is north. The northern one might be the one the Moon Goddess told Princess Tan and her dao companion," said Xia Baiyu.

The Sect Master looked at his disciple and Lan Guye, "How about you?"

"I can only feel something in Southwest but not the exact location," answered Xing Suiri.

Lan Guye, on the other hand, is hesitating. The other three noticed his nervousness.

Xing Suiri asked worriedly, "What’s wrong?" Ever since Lan Guye had protected him from the last hall. He had taken the position as Lan Guye’s guardian making the young man a bit uncomfortable. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novｅlfire.net

Lan Guye glanced at the Sect Master and hesitated but in the end said, "I can’t divine anything at divine level. B-But... I think a few meters ahead of us, there is both danger and opportunity."

"You’ve divined including us in the picture?" Xia Baiyu asked.

Lan Guye nods his head. Since what he had calculated isn’t for treasures and so, with his level divining for divine treasure is not possible. But the Blue Star Tower he is from is good at divining dangers and opportunities.

As for the Crimson Star Tower led by the supreme elder, they excel in future divination while White Star Tower under the Sect Master is good for Fate Divination.

"Alright! Get ready and put your guard up. We are going ahead first, then head south, then move counter clockwise in this hall."

Sect Master Xing Kunlun turned serious. Though the divination of this disciple, Lan Muye, isn’t mature like the First Elder, his talent was enough for the First Elder to choose him as his heir. That means his divination might be close to hundred percent being the truth.

As they walk forward, they were welcomed with a cliff which they would never expected.

Xia Baiyu commented, "If the cliff is the danger, what is the opportunity?" He walks towards the cliff with Xing Suiri and peek below.

Unexpectedly, under this cliff is not a running water or a dark humid area. Instead there is a river of stars under it and a glowing tree with golden apples were found.

Xing Suiri felt that the golden apple is a treasure and reported it to the sect master.

"Master, there is a river of stars and a tree with golden apples is found under the cliff!"

"Golden apples?" When this fruit was suddenly mentioned the expression on Sect Master Xing Kunlun showed a rare hint of surprise as he also went at the edge of the cliff to peek down. Lan Guye was also looking down.

Sect Master Xing Kunlun recognized the golden apples and said, "The Golden Star Apple. This is not a divine grade treasure but for us Diviner, this is a treasure we cannot be without. By eating this our connection with the stars strengthened and lessened the divine punishment on us every time we use divination."

"Let’s grab it then!" Xia Baiyu said.

Xing Suiri and Xia Baiyu were about to jump down but were pulled back by Lan Guye.

"You can’t jump down. The danger is coming from the river of stars!" Lan Guye said.

Upon hearing the words of Lan Guye, the three of them turned serious. Sect Master Xing Kunlun even personally peeked down and saw something swimming around the small land where the Golden Star Apple is located. It looks like a star beast who can not only use camouflage but also hide its presence.

Sect Master Xing Kunlun said, "Star Beast at Early Huashen Realm.

"B-But... there are two of them," Lan Guye said with fear on his face.

He had once again calculated the danger that the Sect Master and two of his Senior Brothers would suffer from. As expected, he found the reason why the dangerous feeling he got from his first divination showed him danger for their group. It was because there is another hidden beast under the river of water.

Sect Master Xing Kunlun asked, "What is the danger level you are feeling while looking at the Golden Star Apple, Disciple Lan?"

"High, if you focus on one. Mid if you split up. But... Senior Brothers might fall in danger," said Lan Guye.

Xing Suiri said, "As long as there is no danger for life then splitting force should suffice."

"Even if we can’t kill it, we can keep it busy until the first one is killed by the Sect Master. So don’t worry and pick the fruit at the timing you feel is the safest," said Xia Baiyu.

Xing Suiri pats Lan Guye’s head and says, "Return to the edge of the cliff as soon as you take the fruits."

"Let’s go," said Sect Master Xing Kunlun.

The moment the three of them jumped down, Sect Master Xing Kunlun activated his domain and a path of white stars appeared in the cliff. He immediately came to look for the second star beast hiding its presence. Meanwhile, the first star beast had jumped out of the water with its mouth open intending to eat them. This star beast looked like a mutated cobra with its head covered in star ore. Its scale pattern is completely the same as the river of stars under them.

Xia Baiyu and Xing Suiri looked at one another and made their move. One binds the star beast with restraining technique while the other kicks the beast head far away from the tree. The two followed after the beast and fought at the distance.

"Minor constellations converge! Star Linked Hand!"

On the other hand, Sect Master Xing Kunlun’s eyes filled with stars finally found a beast. He created a hand made from a star constellation and made a grabbing motion. The small land with the Golden Star Apple Tree was pushed away from its original location as the constellation hand grabbed a struggling star beast that looks similar to the one Xia Baiyu and Xing Suiri are fighting with.

The Star beast tried to swallow the Sect Master whole but another constellation hand appeared and slapped the Star beast to the cliff wall. Sect Master Xing Kunlun flew towards the beast and fought it away from Lan Guye.

Now, with the task of taking the Golden Star Apple, Lan Guye made another calculation to test the danger for him if he jumped down. It was only a mild warning where he would need to fight but not endanger himself. After pulling out his new weapon from the Moon Goddess, he jumped down.

The closer he got to the Golden Star Apple Tree, the more low level star beasts tried to attack them and he could only kill his way towards that small piece of land. The star beasts didn’t dare to attack him anymore the moment he landed on the land. It seems the tree is preventing star beasts from eating its fruits and is guarded against it but not against humans like Lan Guye.
