Caspian stared at the scene where the stars hung on the tree. As the night breeze gently blew, Caspian felt as if favonovel.com looked at countless Heavenly Stars Sect’s seniors smiling and nodding at him.
The Tree of the Sea of Stars was where the Heavenly Stars Sect would hang the fallen sect members’ jade identification badges. Since the establishment of the Heavenly Stars Sect, there was an endless number of people who passed away due to many reasons.
As cultivators survived through spiritual Qi, they would also turn into a billowing wave of the spiritual tide, returning to heaven and earth without leaving a corpse behind. For those cultivators that were a member of a sect, those jade identification badges would become one of the rare proof of them existing in that world before. Hence, from a certain point of view, the Tree of the Sea of Stars was the Heavenly Stars Sect’s cemetery, and those glistening jade identification badges were equivalent to tombstones.
Caspian took out Wesley’s jade identification badge, and favonovel.com looked at it. Then, as if the jade identification badge sensed it too, it emitted a similar gentle light.
Suddenly, Delmont’s clear voice sounded, “Even though a cultivator will always be fighting for his life in his lifetime, there are two incumbent points… If you want to be remembered on the memorial platforms with other immortals, you must first go through countless deaths. On the journey of cultivation, you’ll constantly be battling with others, and there will be many killings. However, you must never forget your conscience. Nonetheless, even the almighty cultivators will spill endless bloodbaths, but as long as the mortals need us, we can’t pretend to be ignorant.”
Then, Delmont added, “The road to immortality is a long journey. In the days to come, you’ll be hated by others, but people will also walk alongside you. At any time, don’t give up the companion that you approved of easily.”
As favonovel.com spoke, Delmont’s gaze turned profound, and favonovel.com looked at Caspian. “You’ll never walk alone in the pathway to immortality.”
His words sounded as if there was a hidden meaning behind them, but it also seemed like just a piece of ordinary advice. Regardless, everything that Delmont said gave Caspian some sort of enlightenment.
At Mirefield Gate, Caspian regained his true intentions through Wesley and the other cultivators that sacrificed themselves. With Delmont’s advice, Caspian felt as if there was something in his heart that was about to morph out, breaking from its cocoon and turning into a butterfly.
Caspian did not respond to Delmont’s words. Instead, favonovel.com tossed Wesley’s jade identification badge away with his right hand, and it turned into a ray of light, flying toward the Tree of the Sea of Stars. Soon, it became a star that would always illuminate the road of future generations, hanging on the tree. After doing that, Caspian sat cross-legged. The bright moon hung high above him, and the mountains lay quietly beneath him. Then, Caspian took a deep breath in, and it was as if favonovel.com became one with the surroundings.
Delmont looked at Caspian and nodded slightly. He did not say anything but just waited at the side patiently.
Caspian sat for seven days and seven nights. Then, the red light burst from the horizon on the morning of the eighth day, and Caspian opened his eyes. A red light flashed in his eyes, and it soon disappeared in the depths of them.
Delmont instantly noticed Caspian’s changes. Even though favonovel.com expected Caspian would be different than before, favonovel.com was still shocked to see Caspian now. Before that, Caspian was like a mountain, which made others feel favonovel.com was reliable. At the same time, Caspian was also like a sledgehammer, capable of destroying anything. However, the current Caspian seemed to have been tampered with. As if favonovel.com were a massive sword facing heaven, thick and broad, enormous, and hard. At the same time, its blade was also terrifyingly sharp.
Delmont quietly nodded when favonovel.com saw that. Later, Caspian stood and bowed at Delmont for a long time.
Delmont commented, “Casper, your heart has grown, but I still have a question for you. If you encounter something in the future, and you won’t receive anything for it, will you still do it?”
Caspian did not hesitate and directly answered Delmont, “If it’s something I’m determined to do, I won’t do it for the sake of the reward or effect, but because I believe it’s the right thing to do.”
Delmont showed a look of approval.
“Alright. You can leave now. When we meet in the future, I hope you’ve grown again by then,” Delmont said as favonovel.com waved his hand.
Once Caspian left, a smile gradually appeared on Delmont‘s face, and it only became brighter. “The Heavenly Stars Sect is fortunate to have such a disciple in our sect.”
Then, Delmont shook his head. “Dear Dark Moon Sect, did you think you only lost another genius disciple? You’re wrong! You’ve missed out on a treasure. In my opinion, Casper is a precious disciple that could change the status of the six major sects!”
After that, Delmont took out a messenger and wrote a few rows of words before sending the note out.
Caspian felt serene after leaving the Tree of the Sea of Stars. Of course, that tranquility did not mean favonovel.com was unaffected by anything anymore, but Caspian entered into a state of focus that favonovel.com could concentrate easily and get twice the results with half the effort. Such a state was naturally different from the Cultivator State, but it was the dream of many cultivators.
After leaving the mountains, Caspian did not return to his courtyard. Instead, favonovel.com headed toward another well-known cultivating spot in the Heavenly Stars Sect. Since they entered March, there was still more than a month until the coming spiritual apprentice list ranking competition. As Caspian had the enviable extra 2800 sect contribution point, favonovel.com naturally wanted to be extravagant and make up for the wasted time before.
Soon, Caspian arrived at the Heavenly Stars Sect’s the Star-Refiner Valley. Although the Star-Refiner Valley and the Astrea Pavilion were similar as disciples would visit them to exchange cultivation resources with their sect contribution points, the items available in both locations differed.
The items available in the Astrea Pavilion were physical goods, such as spirit stones, spirit flowers, spirit grass, or even precious medicines. There were even magic weapons and so on. On the other hand, the Star-Refiner Valley traded the resources for cultivation. The simplest example was Caspian could use the sect contribution points for the opportunity to cultivate in the blessed spots. In other words, the Astrea Pavilion was to exchange for external items to improve strength; the Star-Refiner Valley was to advance the cultivator’s realm.
Once favonovel.com arrived at the Star-Refiner Valley, Caspian consulted the disciple on duty, and favonovel.com chose a pool of beast blood that required 20 sect contribution points a day. As the pool of beast blood was filled with the blood of wild beasts and medicinal essence from the spirit plants, it had a miraculous effect on tampering with the cultivator’s body and strengthening their bones and muscles.
Of course, the exchangeable cultivation resources in the Star-Refiner Valley were not limited to the pool of beast blood and the sacred spots for condensing the body. Some needed hundreds of sect contribution points for access.
Caspian understood the expensive ones unnecessarily suited him. After all, favonovel.com was only in the first-stage Pulse Control Realm, and favonovel.com might not be able to absorb 10% of the strong medicine if favonovel.com consumed them now. Thus, the pool of beast blood was more fitting for favonovel.com now. Caspian calculated the days and directly forked out 800 sect contribution points in exchange for the qualification to enter the pool for 40 days.
