Chapter 1811
Chen Xuan felt a warmth in his heart, tightened his arms around her, and gently patted her shoulder:
"After entering the Immortal Abode World, you must also cultivate diligently. I have added several more layers of formations to that octagonal ten-story tower, making the Ancient Immortal Corpse's attacks even more unpredictable, surpassing even the previous ones; also, the spirit herb garden managed by the Five Immortals has several ancient spirit herbs that are about to mature, and you will need to put in extra effort to cultivate them."
"Don't worry, Master, I will take care of these things and won't distract you." Bai Li snuggled into Chen Xuan's arms, her tone firm.
To outsiders, they appeared to be master and servant, but only Chen Xuan knew that from beginning to end, he never treated Bai Li as a tool or servant—from the moment they met, she was one of the most important people to him in this vast starry sky, a family member who could make him let down his guard.
After Bai Li was taken into the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion, only Chen Xuan remained in the endless void.
He slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on the deep universe—every twinkling point of light in the distance was not an ordinary star, but the light projected from vast nebulae in the starry sky. Each nebula was large enough to contain tens of thousands of stars, so vast that it inspired awe.
Chen Xuan took a deep breath, slowly raised his left hand, and gently beckoned to a distant nebula emitting a pale purple light.
At his fingertips, a subtle starlight quietly gathered. The next second, a wisp of starlight from that distant nebula seemed to be drawn by an invisible thread, traversing billions of light-years and flying straight toward his fingertips.
"Shift stars, change constellations!"
A deep voice echoed in the void, and three distinct Dao ripples instantly appeared around Chen Xuan—the Starlight Dao representing the movement of stars, the Qiankun Dao containing the laws of heaven and earth, and the Space Dao controlling the movement of space.
The three great paths intertwined and formed a dazzling cocoon of light, enveloping Chen Xuan's figure within.
The next second, the cocoon of light suddenly dissipated, and Chen Xuan's figure had disappeared from the spot. Only the starlight he had captured remained, flickering slowly for a few moments before turning into specks of fluorescent light and dissipating into the void.
From the perspective of cultivation theory, as long as a cultivator comprehends the Great Dao of Stars or the Great Dao of Starlight, he can perform the "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations" technique.
However, those who can truly unleash the full power of this technique are often cultivators who have mastered the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, Space, and other Daos—multiple Daos complement each other, which can greatly increase the traversal distance of "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations".
Chen Xuan is a case in point. Now, every time he absorbs starlight to cast a spell, he can traverse half a nebula in a single trip—such terrifying speed is no less impressive than that of True Immortals and True Gods who are not good at traveling.
It is important to understand that "shifting stars and changing constellations" is not flight in the physical sense, but rather the process of absorbing starlight from distant nebulae and using the power of the Great Dao to exchange positions with the starlight. This is equivalent to instantly traversing billions of light-years, which cannot be measured by ordinary speeds.
The distance of half a nebula, if converted to a mortal scale, is equivalent to Chen Xuan traversing half the diameter of the Milky Way in an instant.
Even so, in the face of the vast and boundless starry universe, this distance is still as slow as a snail's pace—after all, although the Purple Mansion Holy Land is located in the central area of the Purple Mansion Realm, it is still separated from Qilin City by thousands of nebulae.
Fortunately, "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations" only requires mobilizing the power of the Great Dao and consuming a small amount of magical power to perform, unlike flying which requires continuous mental exertion.
Of course, even so, after hundreds of consecutive traversals, Chen Xuan needed a short rest to recover his depleted mental energy—this kind of mental fatigue caused by the operation of the Great Dao could not be quickly replenished by elixirs or source liquids.
Whenever they rested, Chen Xuan would move Bai Li out of the immortal abode.
After all, in this deep starry sky, it is rare to see a creature acting alone. Even if one occasionally encounters a cultivator's flying warship, both sides will be wary of each other because they fear that the other is a murderous and plundering demon, and there is no way to communicate.
Only when he is with Bai Li can his lonely journey as a star be warmed.
On this day, Chen Xuan chose to rest on a broken star.
This star had long since lost its vitality, with only half of its body floating in the void, its surface covered with bottomless cracks, as if it had been forcibly cleaved in two by a tremendous force.
Although the surface of a star has an atmosphere, there is no vegetation; all you can see are cold rocks and dust.
Chen Xuan found a relatively flat boulder, sat down with his back against it, and held a white jade wine pot in his hand, slowly drinking the wine. This wine was brewed from spiritual fruits from the Immortal Abode's Spiritual Herb Garden, which could not only nourish the body but also soothe the mind.
Not far away, Bai Li was squatting beside a campfire, holding a wooden skewer of spirit meat in her hand, carefully turning it over.
The campfire was lit by Chen Xuan using his magic power. The flames were pale blue and burned steadily even in the extremely cold void, emitting a warm light.
"Master, the roasted meat will be ready in a little while, please wait a little longer." Bai Li looked up at Chen Xuan and smiled, her cheeks glowing red in the firelight, her eyes full of tenderness.
Chen Xuan put down the wine pot, nodded to her, and turned his gaze back to the distant starry sky.
Starlight fell on his face, reflecting the deep anticipation in his eyes for the Purple Mansion Nebula—there lay not only the inheritance of the Purple Talisman Supreme and the Emperor's Weapon, but perhaps also the news and opportunity for him to find his sect and his Daoist partner, Lu Xueqi.
