ldn't be assigned to go out. Junior brother Qin, you don't have to wade into this muddy water. Let's still follow our previous agreement, you take me to near Guixing Island and then leave first...">Qi...After Ji Wu arrived, two more beams of light descended one after the other.

At this time, on the Stargazing Island, there were a total of thirty-three people, including Qin Sang. They were the top cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage from all over the chaotic waters of the island.

These people are mostly from small and medium-sized sects in Xiao Han Yu, and the remaining few scattered cultivators also have some connection with Yin Shan Guan.

All of them are human cultivators and there are no demon cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Hill.

During the three years of stalemate, there was no sign of any demon cultivators.

At most, one could see some cultivators' tamed spirit beasts, mostly disciples of the Yuling Sect. Among those present was one named Mu Zhige, whose spirit beast was a golden eagle, said to be a descendant of the Heavenly Demon Hill Demon King.

As for how the various forces in Xiaohan Domain interacted and competed, Qin Sang had no way of knowing.

As the last person arrived, the stone gate of the main hall suddenly swung open on its own.

Everyone stopped chatting, looked at each other, and walked in silently together.

Gold pavement, pearls shining brilliantly.

Inside the resplendent hall, there were only a few mighty dragon pillars; nothing else adorned the space.

Two people stood in the golden hall.

It was actually Snake Woman and Deputy Island Master Xiao who arrived!

This kind of scene is not common.

After seeing the identities of the two island masters, the crowd not only secretly marveled, but also showed respectful expressions on their faces. Their demeanor became even more cautious.

"See the Two Island Lords!"

The serpent woman walked over, leaning on her snake staff. Her face was withered and old, her triangular eyes radiating a slightly cold gaze, much like the serpent man's.

Feeling the gaze of the snake woman sweeping over him, although Qin Sang knew she had no ill intentions towards him and wouldn't consider someone like him, a small character, he still felt a tightness in his chest.

"You are all the outstanding heroes who emerged from this great battle, each of you with remarkable achievements..."

For the first time ever, I heard praise from a Golden Core cultivator, and it came from the Island Master of Guixing Island.

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Some people were secretly pleased, speculating if they would be rewarded.

The snake charmer spoke slowly, but everyone was very patient and no one showed signs of impatience.

This is a test.

“…There is one thing you need to do.”

The Snake Woman's voice carried an undeniable weight. As she reached this point, she paused slightly and fixed Qin Sang and the others with a piercing stare.

"Show us the way, island master!"

Qin Sang and the others bowed without hesitation to accept the order.

There are no rewards, only new tasks.

Faced with such disappointment, everyone couldn't help but feel uneasy. With the two island masters personally appearing and summoning all the renowned experts, this mission was definitely not simple, and there might even be great danger.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

But their movements were not slow, and they were very orderly. Years of warfare had long since accustomed them to obeying orders.

Especially the orders personally issued by Snake Madam and Deputy Island Master Xiao, who would dare to object

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

The snake charmer, seeing this, nodded in satisfaction.

Yu Ling Zong's Mu Zhi Ge was bold, "Dare I ask Island Master, are only we here Or is everyone in the team..."

"Only you."

The Snake Woman glanced over them, seeming to see through their thoughts, and let out a meaningful chuckle. "This journey does indeed hold danger. But for some of you, it might just be an opportunity."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked expectantly at the Snake Woman.

Unexpectedly, the Snake Woman's tone changed. "Among you, many should know about Mount Tianzhi. Its location is right under the beam of light from last night's battle, sealed by a barrier. When the barrier opens, you will need to enter and collect a strange item called Xing Yuan Stone."

"Starstone!"

Before the Snake Woman's words could even fade, someone suddenly cried out in surprise, disregarding their status and rushing to ask eagerly: "Senior, what you said... could it be that rare treasure born from the power of stars, capable of summoning the celestial energy of the universe, a celestial energy stone"

All eyes turned to the source of the voice, and they saw that it was a disciple of Yuanshen Gate who called himself Jiuzhenzi.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

These people knew each other, more or less. Jiuzhenzi had always been cold and aloof, even on the battlefield he had never seen him so out of control.

The Nine-Array Formation's face was filled with shock, as if the Star Essence Stone were something extraordinary.

Qin Sang carefully recalled, confirming that he had never heard of Xingyuan Stone.

The snake woman frowned and glared at Jiuzhen with icy eyes. "Is there really a second kind of Xingyuan Stone in this world"

“I beg your pardon, Lord of the Isle. It was my blunder.”

Jiu-zhenzi hastily apologized, glancing around. He quickly concocted an explanation for the snake woman.

"Fellow cultivators, if you haven't thoroughly studied the art of spirit arrays, you may not be familiar with Xingyuan Stones.

"

“There is a kind of spirit array that can summon the power of the celestial stars to descend, with immense power. And the star essence stone is a necessary item for setting up such a spirit array.”

Today, these kinds of spirit arrays have almost disappeared and cannot be set up because of the lack of star essence stones.

In ancient times, there was a legend about a powerful being who could pluck stars and hold the moon. The legends also mention someone who cultivated Star Origin Stones. Unfortunately, this method has long been lost.

"I also heard about the legend of Xingyuan Stone from my teachers. I thought it was just a myth. Unexpectedly, Xingyuan Stone hasn't disappeared, and it's right here in Zhatian Peak! I was so shocked that I acted inappropriately..."

An unusual formation

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Qin Sang's heart moved, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He thought there might be celestial treasures, divine pills and elixirs within Zitian Peak.

The Heavenly Alliance and the Little Cold Domain were engaged in a massive conflict, which even attracted the intervention of Yuan Ying cultivators. They were all vying for Star Essence Stones, but it remains unknown what grand formation they intend to construct.

"As expected of a disciple of the Yuanshin Gate, you even know the secrets of Xingyuan Stones... I bet your Yuanshin Gate has many such ancient formations hidden away, doesn't it"

The Snake Woman narrowed her eyes and glanced at Jiuzhenzi.

Jiuzhenzi was greatly startled, and hurriedly bowed. "Island Master, please forgive me, this junior's cultivation is too low, I am not qualified to touch the hidden secrets of my sect, and I don't know if there are ancient formations within the sect."

The snake charmer snorted coldly, letting the nine soldiers go with a wave of her hand. She did not pursue the matter further.

Jiuzhenzi let out a breath, only then did he realize that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

These artifacts are called Soul Locking Bracelets, take them.

The Snake Woman took out a handful of silver bracelets and threw them to Qin Sang and the others. “These Spirit-Binding Bracelets are extremely difficult to forge. You need them to obtain Star Yuan Stones. Remember not to damage them, or you will return empty-handed.”

Qin Sang grasped the Soul-Locking Bracelet, bringing it close to examine it carefully.

This is an artifact that cannot be measured by conventional means. Artifacts like this have unique uses, and are not intended for combat. The Soul-Locking Bracelet is no exception.

The Soul Locking Bracelet was a silver bracelet, unusually slender, with a small gem embedded in it. Qin Sang examined it for a long time but couldn't figure out what material it was made of.

The gem is pure and flawless, shining with a clear light, like a star that has descended to earth.

It seems that the Soul-Locking Bracelet is just a pleasing piece of adornment.

It makes one worry that it would break if one exerted even a little bit of force.

After carefully listening to the Snake Woman explain the use of the Soul-Locking Bracelet, Qin Sang carefully put the Soul-Locking Bracelet into his pouch. However, he couldn't help but think about the reward the Snake Woman had mentioned.ng after the young man surnamed Fang like the thunder in the sky was controlled by the Qilin. The thunderbolt balls spat out from the Qilin's mouth were even more astonishing, hitting a mountain peak...
