Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 90: The Gathering of the Crowd, at the Stargazing Platform!

"..."

As the manuscript was slowly closed, the profound sense of history spanning thousands of years gradually faded away.

A faint scent of books filled the air. Jiang Feng and Lin Lu remained silent, each silently processing the hidden past of the empire.

A long silence followed.

Jiang Feng was the first to recover, letting out a long breath to suppress the shock in his heart.

Whether it's the Martial King, divine blood, or even the legendary Martial Emperor, these things are all too abstract for him now.

In this historical site, the most practical thing to do is to find an opportunity to extract some resources.

"Shall we go?" After mentally preparing himself, he looked at Lin Lu and said.

"If this hidden history were to be revealed, it would absolutely shake the entire Southern Star Region. However, our most urgent task is to find a way out and go to... the Star Observatory."

Upon hearing the words "observatory," Lin Lu's expression finally returned to normal.

After all, there is the legendary Star Marrow there.

"Um!"

Lin Lu nodded heavily, then frowned and glanced around. "But how are we going to get out of here? We've searched everywhere we can think of, and there's only..."

Her gaze and Jiang Feng's gaze both fell on the huge desk in front of them.

On the messy desk, those strange symbols and equation drawings were still laid out.

"If this is his study where he studies the star system outside, then the portal to the outside world is most likely within his reach."

Lin Lu's eyes flickered as she analyzed.

"That's right. Given King Wu's status, it's impossible for him to go to that star field and have to take a detour."

Jiang Feng felt the same way, and the two quickly got to work, pushing aside the blueprints and searching on the large table.

soon--

A six-pointed star groove, previously hidden beneath a blueprint, came into view of the two.

"This should be it."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Feng tentatively poured a wisp of his own blood and qi into it.

With a "buzzing" sound.

In an instant, the originally dark table began to light up. Jiang Feng and Lin Lu were surprised to find that there were countless intricate runes engraved on the surface of the table, spreading out from the grooves. The light was not obvious before and was covered by the drawings, so the two of them did not notice it.

"This pattern...it looks like an electronic circuit," Jiang Feng muttered.

"What did you say?" Lin Lu didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing," Jiang Feng shook his head, then exclaimed in shock, "Look!"

The light from these runes grew brighter and brighter, their shadows shifting and changing as if they had come alive, before they intertwined in mid-air to form a miniature array.

Immediately afterwards, the space in front of the two seemed to be cleaved open by a sharp blade, and a spatial rift radiating brilliant starlight and an ancient aura burst open with a roar.

"It really is an observatory!"

Lin Lu's tone was excited; even through the crack, she could see the starry sky platform deep within it at a glance.

"Be careful!" Jiang Feng's eyes also gleamed. "Let's go see what that Martial King's observatory looks like!"

After saying that, the two of them stepped into the unknown starlight without hesitation, one after the other.

........

On a vast and boundless grassland.

Even with extra protection, Zhang Ruanruan couldn't completely ward off the cold.

Looking up, you see a magnificent starry night sky.

She felt that the starry sky was wondrous and somewhat special, but because of the distance, she could not get closer to perceive it.

Just then, her heart trembled slightly, as if she sensed something, and she subconsciously turned around.

A shooting star streaked across the night sky, hurtling towards her.

"Um?!"

Shocked, she was more confused, but she did not choose to flee, because under the influence of the Dao Bone, she sensed a familiar fluctuation on the meteor.

It is water.

"boom!"

The next moment, a deafening roar echoed through the air as a meteor crashed into the nearby field, sending up a spray of grass clippings.

Zhang Ruanruan stepped forward and saw a crystal, its entire body sparkling with a pale blue luster, lying quietly at the bottom of the pit.

A sudden realization dawned on her, and she guided a wisp of Daoist energy into it. In an instant, a massive flow of information rushed straight into her mind.

"A high-grade martial skill of the Dao level..."

"Cangming Water Control Technique?"

She was stunned, and a rare look of deep shock flashed in her crimson eyes.

It's actually a high-grade Dao-level martial skill?

This level of martial arts skill is extremely precious even in the resource-rich Tianyuan Star. Even though she is a genius with Dao Bone aptitude, she cannot possess it at her current level.

Who exactly is this King Wu?

Looking up again, what floated in the sky were not stars at all.

It turns out they were all cultivation techniques and martial arts skills.

........

Medicinal herb garden.

This is the next location after the previous round of assessments.

After a period of teleportation, no more people will arrive here.

Currently, there are only 47 people in the venue.

In other words, more than 200 people failed the assessment just now.

Lu Hengzhou led everyone around the herb garden and back to where they started.

"There's no way out." Chen Lin frowned, his gaze returning from the edge of the space.

The place was illusory and distorted, filled with thick gray fog, making it impossible for them to pass through. They had no choice but to stay in the herb garden.

"It seems we haven't found the core of this place yet."

Lu Hengzhou had suddenly become the leader of the crowd. His gaze swept across the room, but after searching in vain, he simply found a place to sit cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Everyone present fell silent.

for a long time.

Lu Hengzhou opened his eyes and stood up.

A surge of terrifying power condensed at his fingertips. He gazed at a certain spot in the herb garden, raised his finger, and shouted:

"go!"

With a low shout, the blood transformed into a crimson light, striking precisely a withered medicinal herb not far away.

"Ring ring~"

"Ring ring~"

A crisp bell rang out abruptly in the arena.

Zhang Shixu, who was standing nearby, subconsciously followed the sound until he discovered that the sound was actually coming from the medicinal herbs.

Only then did he belatedly realize, "That...it was actually fake medicine?"

Immediately afterwards, a thick silver beam of light shot into the sky from the medicinal herb, instantly enveloping Lu Hengzhou, Zhang Shixu, and more than forty others.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and steadied themselves.

The next second, the beam of light dissipated, and the desolate herb garden returned to calm once more, with only the herb whose energy had been completely drained swaying gently.

They too traveled to that final meeting place.

.......

The depths of space were silent and chaotic, with boulders floating about.

Somewhere, a solitary, high-hanging platform stands quietly beneath the stars; this is the "Stargazing Platform".

A stone tablet stands between the platform and the square below.

It is engraved with eleven large characters cast in gilded gold.

"Only those with exceptional talents can enter."
