Chapter 250 - 250 247 Picking Stars with One Hand
Chapter 250: Chapter 247: Picking Stars with One Hand Chapter 250: Chapter 247: Picking Stars with One Hand The cosmos is vast, and the void is limitless.
Within the resplendent starry sky, a fortress hundreds of miles in size was speeding through the void, racing in one direction.
Compared to the countless stars, the fortress was undoubtedly tiny; even many of the meteors floating in the void were much larger than the fortress.
Yet within this seemingly insignificant fortress, there resided over two million Human Clan Cultivators, along with millions of Spiritual Beasts, ghosts, and an untold number of Poison Insects.

By now, the Power of Laws within the Cave Heaven World had come under the control of Elder Kongkong of the Beast Taming Sect.
He had long since altered the Cave Heaven Principle; otherwise, not to mention the Spiritual Beasts being unable to enter, even the cultivators from different Sects would probably have suffered attacks from the Cave Heaven Principle.
…
The reason why Elder Kongkong, rather than the Gui Ling Ancestor, controlled this Cave Heaven, was because, relatively speaking, Elder Kongkong’s understanding of the Space Dao far surpassed others.
There were also many dangerous zones within the endless void, as well as countless chaotic streams of the void, where any slight misstep could potentially trap the Cave Heaven Fortress within them.
Thus relatively speaking, it was safer for Elder Kongkong to manage the Cave Heaven; should anything go awry, he could promptly steer the Cave Heaven Fortress to avoid dangerous regions.
Qin Feng looked up, staring blankly at the starry sky above.
This was his first time experiencing the starry sky from such a close distance.
When he saw the enormous stars right before him, he was incredibly shocked.
When the Cave Heaven Fortress entered an asteroid belt made entirely of meteors, watching each meteor travel in its predetermined orbit was even more thrilling.

He even felt the impulse to pluck a meteor right out of the void.
Unfortunately, he did not have the ability to do so and could only watch as the Space Fortress nimbly avoided each large meteor, swiftly flying towards the distance.
Not until he saw a giant hand reach out from within the Cave Heaven.
The hand was so large it defied his imagination, as if it could cover the sky; once it reached out of the Cave Heaven, it directly grabbed an irregular meteor and then brought the meteor, which was dozens of miles in size, back into the interior of the Cave Heaven.
Seeing this, countless Cultivators were shocked.
They were also amazed by the boundless Daoist arts of those predecessors who had attained the status of Becoming an Immortal.
Qin Feng looked on with great envy.
Such a Supreme Divine Power was what he yearned for; he too wished for the day when he could pluck stars from the sky with his own hand.
To roam the Cosmic Void at will, and if he stumbled upon rare treasures, to be able to collect some.
Just like the individual who had just made a move, Qin Feng didn’t know which Sect’s Supreme Elder that was, who directly fished out an enormous meteor from the void.
To say that the meteor contained no treasures, not only would Qin Feng not believe it, but all the Cultivators who witnessed that scene would likely not believe it either.
In fact, the Endless Void actually had many treasures.
After those Void Giant Beasts evolved stars, even if they couldn’t evolve into complete worlds and eventually turned into dead stars devoid of any life, they might still give rise to some treasures.
However, they weren’t as numerous as the treasures in ordinary worlds, nor did they possess Spirit Veins like those worlds.
Actually, speaking of which, Spirit Veins are one of the most fundamental treasures within a world, because under the nourishment of Spirit Veins, new treasures can be continuously produced; as long as one refrains from over-exploitation and allows the Spirit Veins time to recuperate, the inside of a world will form a perfect cycle.
And some Great Powers roaming the Outer Star Space, visiting boundless worlds, would also occasionally collect some rare items from the void; the meteor that had just been snatched likely contained some kind of useful resource.
It didn’t take long before curious Elders from various Sects went to inquire, and they received news that it was the Gui Ling Ancestor who personally made the move, extracting a meteor that contained Meteor Star Iron.
Gui Ling Ancestor did not keep the massive meteor for himself but took it out directly, allowing people to refine the suitable Meteor Star Iron for treasure forging and turn it into various Magical Treasures and Magic Artifacts, planning to use it as a resource within the Cave Heaven, to reward Cultivators who distinguished themselves in warfare.
There were many Artifact Refiners capable of forging Magical Treasure Divine Weapons among the Sects, and even a Cultivator Sect that primarily relied on Spiritual Beasts like the Beast Taming Sect had Artifact Refiners, not to mention so many united Sects.
Among the Sects that had joined the alliance for this campaign, there was one Sect that primarily lived by Artifact Refining.
The Gui Ling Ancestor, with great generosity, primarily involved this Sect, calling together all Artifact Refiners from all Sects to forge Divine Weapons and Magical Treasures.
In addition, there were also many Cultivators skilled in Alchemy, Talisman Making, Array setup, and so on, all of whom were exchanging knowledge with one another.
Currently, there wasn’t an abundance of materials for them to use for Alchemy or Talisman Painting, but once they conquer the Otherworld, the Sects should be able to acquire a considerable amount of resources to bring back.
Then, it will be up to these Cultivators to show their capabilities and utilize the resources from the Otherworld.
For a true Alchemist, as long as they have the materials for Alchemy, they can ascertain the materials’ uses and medicinal properties within a certain period, thereby researching new Elixir Pills through various alchemical methods.
Alchemists are never only about adhering to the Elixir Recipes passed down from ancestors, and those who cannot innovate are considered mediocre.
Truly skilled Alchemists can deduce new Spirit Pills based on resources with different medicinal properties, even if those resources are not Spiritual Medicine but rather materials from Exotic Beasts; it’s not too much of a challenge for them.
Qin Feng sat cross-legged on a large blue stone at the mountain peak, habitually summoning the Swallowing Sky Toad, gently caressing its cool, sleek skin with his hand—soft and comfortable.
“Gurgle, gurgle…”
The Swallowing Sky Toad called out a few times.
It was communicating with its master through the link between their spirits, speaking to its master.
Qin Feng quickly understood its meaning and couldn’t help but be slightly startled, then he let out a wry smile.
He had been foolish; the Swallowing Sky Toad had originally merged with the Swallowing Star Toad’s Bloodline Divine Power, naturally possessing the ability to draw in Star Power.
In the past, he would often let it out to draw in Star Power for cultivation on its own.
Later, when he went to cultivate the “Azure Dragon Divine Technique” in the Dragon Transformation Pond of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven, he had forgotten about this.
Several months went by without him letting it out.
At this moment, as the Cave Heaven Fortress moved through the Endless Void, the Star Power within the void was dense, far surpassing that within the world, so the Swallowing Sky Toad could easily sense the boundless Star Power.
It wanted to draw in Star Power for cultivation.
For this, Qin Feng certainly had no objections, and he directly placed it on a piece of green stone nearby.
One could see the Spiritual Toad, which had grown to the size of a small watermelon, croaking a few times from its belly.
Then, its body enlarged by a third, its snow-white underside bulging high, and the numerous Star Patterns on its back gleaming.
Thick Star Power from the void quickly fell through the transparent barrier outside the Cave Heaven World, enveloping the Swallowing Sky Toad within.
Cultivating in such a dense concentration of Star Power allowed the Swallowing Sky Toad’s cultivation speed to far exceed ten times its previous rate.
This was the benefit that came with having a suitable cultivation environment.
Qin Feng watched with eager interest for a good while, and even took out a piece of hard Purple Gold to gnaw on, making a crisp sound as he bit into it.
In the distance, a few Inner Sect Elders sensed fluctuations of Star Power over here and extended their Divine Senses to check.
Although they knew that the chances of being invaded by beings from the Outer Star Space were slim, they still had to be cautious.
Upon seeing it was a Spiritual Beast drawing in Star Power, they didn’t pay much attention.
The Elders saw him eating with relish and thought he was enjoying some Spirit Fruit.
However, upon seeing clearly what was in his hand, they couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain in their teeth.
If they hadn’t already confirmed that the youth munching on pieces of metal was their Beast Taming Sect’s newly appointed True Disciple, they would have suspected the lad to be some sort of Spiritual Beast transformed into human form.
“This kid, doesn’t he find it uncomfortable for his teeth?”
Someone couldn’t help but mutter under their breath.
“Hehe, it must have something to do with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast.”
Other Elders of different lineages laughed: “I heard this kid’s Lifebound Spiritual Beast is the Ruyi Golden Snake, a kind of Spiritual Snake from an Ancient Mutant Species; similar to the Iron-Eating Beast, it can devour all kinds of metals to enhance its own strength and cultivation.
It seems that this kid has already cultivated a Divine Power Seed, otherwise even if he could swallow these metals, he wouldn’t be able to digest them.”
These comments were agreed upon by the other Elders.
“Senior Brother Ning has indeed accepted a good disciple.
He might prove to be more promising than the previous generations of True Disciples in the Spiritual Snake Lineage.
Like Long Qibian from the last generation, although he was not bad, he didn’t step out of the traditional range of the Spiritual Snake Lineage Cultivation Technique Inheritance; he could only be considered to have followed the norm.
This kid’s Lifebound Spiritual Beast has never appeared before in the Spiritual Snake Lineage.
His cultivation path from now on will be somewhat different from all previous Spiritual Snake Lineage Cultivators.
Perhaps, he might even have the chance to create a new Divine Technique.
After all, the Ruyi Golden Snake belongs to the Gold Element, and there’s no Gold Element Divine Technique in the cultivation methods of the Spiritual Snake Lineage yet.”
“It’s hard to say, the path of cultivation is filled with countless accidents.
Creating a new cultivation technique is not that simple.
Let’s see if he can reach that step in the future.
I just hope he doesn’t fall in the upcoming great battle; that would be such a pity.”
Qin Feng, with his lower level of Divine Sense, of course didn’t know that several Inner Sect Elders were discussing him at the moment.
Nor did he realize that in the Moyun Ridge Great Hall, the moment the Star Power from the void started to fall, it had already attracted the attention of those Supreme Elders.
But those Supreme Elders only glanced over it without paying much attention.
It was just the Spiritual Beast of a Foundation Establishment junior, nothing worth their concern.
As Elders of their respective sects, they should be more concerned with the imminent great battle; they should focus on how to break through the World Barrier of the opposing world and safely descend within it.
Fortunately, the Void was boundless, and even if they had already locked on the location of the other world, it would take several months of flight to reach the vicinity of the opposing world.
So, they still had time to slowly deliberate, deduce, and decide how to break through the World Barrier and withstand the attacks of those Demon Gods.
Qin Feng, who was happily munching away, suddenly noticed a shadow overhead, even affecting the Swallowing Sky Toad’s Star Power drawing cultivation.
He quickly looked upward.
Upon realizing what was blocking the space of the Cave Heaven, he was so startled that his spirit trembled, and he didn’t even notice the half-eaten piece of Purple Gold falling from his hand and hitting his foot.
For, outside the Cave Heaven Fortress at this moment, an enormous eye was peering inside through the fortress’s barrier.
