Chapter 1049 Star Cocoon Acquired, Supreme Star Spirit

A mighty gale swept across the sky, and the first three meteors to fall scattered in different directions, with people from various holy lands below vying to catch them.

Little did they know that it was merely a deceptive vortex of stars, while the true formless star cocoon lay far beyond the heavens!

Many people had already passed the information to the rear, waiting for the ancestor while grabbing the meat in front of them.

Lin Shan didn't wait for the star cocoon to fall at all. Instead, he took the initiative to get up and fly into the sky. The Nascent Soul seed that he was tracking had long been left far behind.

As they passed through the Nine Heavens Gale, the biting cold air was mixed with illusionary mist, which even began to obscure their vision. Only by opening their Eyes of Truth could they see the streak of light in the sky!

The powerful barrier between worlds is unbreakable; only cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage can step into the void.

Thunder and lightning strike suddenly!

Tear ~

This was the first time he had ever traveled to the outer void of the illusion. He couldn't help but look back at the world he had just been in and found that it was completely different from what he had seen in reality. It was a huge halo, and everyone inside had turned into silhouettes!

Meanwhile, in the vast starry sky outside, countless colorful halos twinkled continuously.

"Have I left the final battleground and returned to the Mortal Star Sea? No, that's not right. This is a spatial interlayer within the Mortal Star Sea; the Formless Star Cocoon actually comes from a deeper underground region."

Without time to think too much, it was about to approach a shooting star, with a surging heat flow carrying a long tail flame. The strong acceleration gave it unparalleled impact force, and with no air resistance, it was so fast that it was dazzling!
"Stop right there!!!"

Lin Shan roared and, in desperation, took out the Heavenly Treasure Void Star Disc, which contained the Star Element Module for driving the star, and a powerful star-stabilizing force suddenly shot out.

sigh~
The straight beam of light collided with the meteor, illuminating the sky and the earth in an instant, drawing the attention of the entire outer world and the illusionary realm.

Those below, still scrambling for the star vortex, looked up in disbelief as the two rays collided in the void, mistaking them for two meteors exchanging fire.

The dissipated starlight, like splashing waves, created a magnificent fireworks display in the sky!

"Who are those people who can intercept us from beyond the heavens?"

"Need I say more? It must be a Nascent Soul cultivator, who else could it be?"

"I just informed the rear, and the Ancestral Master arrived so quickly. He must have been following us in secret. It seems Star Cocoon is safe!"

"Don't be so smug, it's still uncertain whose ancestor it is."

Lin Shan tensed up and retreated frantically. It was only because of his successful body tempering that he could withstand the impact force; otherwise, a Nascent Soul cultivator would not have been able to withstand it at all.

Fortunately, the star-stabilizing power of the virtual star disk allowed it to intercept the enemy from the heavens. The speed of the formless star cocoon was decreasing rapidly. After being canceled out, the tail flame became even brighter. Inside, an elliptical sphere engraved with star and earth patterns was cooling down rapidly.

A glimmer of light gradually emerged, seemingly about to change direction and escape his blockade.

"Want to leave?"

He channeled his true energy throughout his body and waved his hand to suppress it.

"Hahahaha, the Formless Star Cocoon has indeed emerged here. I haven't arrived too late!"

Suddenly, a spatial rift opened up beside them, and a burst of laughter came from it. A gigantic hand that blotted out the sky stretched out and was about to snatch it away in one step.

"Get out of here!"

Lin Shan roared, and the Thunder Pool Dharma Image appeared behind him. The True Spirit Thunder Elephant shook its head and swung its tail as it emerged, then blasted the Thunder Elephant into pieces in mid-air with a flick of its trunk!
"Huh? Someone beat you to it. Who are you, a powerful expert?"

Another spatial rift tore open on the other side, and a surprised voice came from it, as another large hand reached out.

"Ugh~~~"

The True Spirit Thunder Elephant roared to the sky, its trunk instantly stretching dozens of feet. With another fierce swing, it sent the hand flying back into the spatial rift!
The aura of the two primordial spirits suddenly surged, locking onto Lin Shan under the starry sky.

"How dare you, you brat?"

The cocoon of formlessness was now greatly aroused, and a hazy white light shone brightly as it dodged and weaved, preparing to descend to the world below to find the destined one it had chosen.

"Come here!"

Lin Shan fully activated the Star Sea, activating all 108,000 star veins throughout his body. The surging star power illuminated the sky, making it look like yet another star from below!
Exclamations came from two spatial rifts in the sky.

"The Celestial Body?!"

This is a renowned innate spiritual body that is said to be able to reach its peak. It is said that if one can cultivate it to the highest level, one can be called the king of all stars and the master of all stars. After ascending, one can directly enter the Star Court. When did such a person appear in this world?
A white-haired old man jumped out from the spatial rift on the left; he was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Tai Xuan Holy Land!
A yellow sword light flew out from the spatial rift on the right, which was the current Minghuang Sword Master of the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect!

They had been keeping a close eye on their own Nascent Soul seed, and as soon as they received news of the Formless Star Cocoon, they immediately rushed over without any delay.

Upon seeing the celestial body, the two reacted differently.

The Sword Master of Bright Glory transformed into a streak of sword light and fled, relying on his unparalleled speed to avoid this place and pursue another far-off Formless Star Cocoon!

Grand Elder Tai Xuan remained motionless, determined to stay here and compete with Lin Shan.

Compared to the Holy Master of the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect, he, with his old bones, was probably no match for him. Fortunately, he had two Formless Star Cocoons. He always picked on the weak, and he didn't take a mere Great Divine Power Master seriously.

"This little guy is quite bold, daring to come to the Red Dust Star Sea all by himself, snatching meat from the mouths of various holy lands, isn't he afraid of breaking his teeth!"

Who said I'm all alone?

"Oh?"

The Supreme Elder of the Tai Xuan Holy Land glanced at the Kong Family Patriarch, who was standing guard at the inner wall of the world, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"So there was another great master, but he couldn't even shatter the void. He could only watch from below. What's the difference between you and that person?"

Lin Shan glanced at it as he grabbed it.

Sure enough, behind the barrier of the illusionary world, the patriarch of the Kong family stood there awkwardly, as if complaining that you hadn't said you were going to fight in the outer heavens. Now you can only stare blankly inside, making a fool of yourself.

But now is not the time to talk about this. He had clearly activated the Zhou Tian Star Body, but to his disbelief, the Wu Xiang Star Cocoon was not responding to his efforts!

Still nimbly dodging and weaving, trying to land in the illusory world below to find its destined one. Am I not the destined one yet? ???
Not only Lin Shan found it absurd, but even the Supreme Elder Tai Xuan found it strange.

The legendary celestial bodies have all come to your face, yet you're fleeing in all directions as if you're avoiding a calamity. What's the principle behind this?
He immediately joined in, participating in the capture of the Cocoon of No Form.

"Ang~~~"

The True Spirit Thunder Elephant crashed in from the side, its entire body crackling with lightning, flickering and interfering from the side.

"Don't make trouble."

Elder Taixuan spoke slowly and calmly, his tone neither too warm nor too cold, and with just one hand, he pressed down on the image, making it impossible for it to advance any further.

With the other hand, the power of the primordial spirit evolved, and the formless star cocoon was unknowingly drawn in amidst its chaotic movements, even emitting chirping spiritual star sound waves.

Lin Shan felt immense pressure. He knew that the Supreme Elder of Tai Xuan was an extremely ancient figure, whose calm demeanor made all the major holy lands wary. The Tai Xuan Holy Land was definitely not a benevolent force either. There was no point in fighting him. For now, he should focus on getting his hands on the Wuxiang Star Cocoon first, no matter what.

"Order it for me!"

The virtual star disk that had just been retrieved was revealed once again, replaced with a brand new star element module, and the thick beam of star power once again locked onto the formless star cocoon.

“Chichichichichi~~~~”

This thing is very intelligent and seems to know that it has encountered a natural enemy. It even went so far as to use its suction to get closer to Elder Taixuan in order to avoid Linshan like a snake or scorpion!

"A Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!"

Elder Tai Xuan suddenly widened his eyes, roared, and instantly lost his composure.

Looking at the star chart in the young man's hand, the powerful and heart-palpitating fluctuations seemed to gather all the starlight in the sky, and the entire mortal star sea seemed to be shaking!
This is a true divine treasure!

This kid has no primordial spirit power, so he can't unleash its true power. He can only rely on a sixth-order star core to drive it. Isn't this just a piece of fat meat delivered right to his mouth?

"Hahahahaha!!!"

He suddenly burst into laughter, stood up and blasted the True Spirit Thunder Elephant away. The calluses on his hands shimmered with dark green stripes, and endless white light surged under his palms. While grabbing the Formless Star Cocoon, he also tried to capture Lin Shan!
"Great, great, great! This is wonderful! I never expected to have two happy events today!"

"A mere Nascent Soul stage brat actually possesses a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure! It's like a child carrying gold in the market—a gift from heaven!"

"If the Sword Master of Bright Glory had seen that you possessed such a treasure earlier, he would probably have regretted it to the core!"

Even without him saying it, the illusory star disk caused such a commotion in the outer heavens that only the Bright Emperor Sword Master could not see it, and even the Kong family patriarch, who was separated by the world barrier, could see it!
Lying below, mouth agape, the shock in my heart was indescribable.

"This boy"

On the other side, the Sword Master of Minghuang, riding his sword light, felt the strong fluctuations behind him and couldn't help but turn around to look, his eyes also filled with a burning light.

Even sacred lands would covet such a heaven-reaching treasure!
However, I'm a bit far away right now, so I might as well get my hands on the Star Cocoon that's out in front of me and no one else is going to fight over it. I'll keep the good stuff in the family and come back to see if there's another chance later.

The exposure of the Heavenly Treasure was exactly what Lin Shan had expected. He showed no panic on his face, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Even with the help of the virtual star disc, the cocoon of the formless star still couldn't escape. It was frozen in place for a moment and then suddenly pulled over rapidly!

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp~~~"

The creature throbbed and undulated in a frantic manner, emitting piercing cries that seemed to both struggle and plead for help.

Elder Taixuan rushed to help, but his outstretched hand suddenly stopped!
The octagonal light cage descended unexpectedly from the sky, instantly locking him in place and making it impossible for him to move. With this slight delay, the Formless Star Cocoon was captured by the Void Star Disc in one fell swoop!
"Smack!"

Lin Shan gave this thing a huge thud.

"Shut up, you little chatterbox!"

The cocoon of the formless star was not obedient at all; instead, it twitched violently in his hand, expanding and contracting back and forth, trying to slip through his fingers. It even oozed a slippery blue mucus, resorting to any means to escape.

Unfortunately, under the immobilization effect of the Tongtian Lingbao, Lin Shan pressed him firmly onto the Void Star Disc, and the enhancement panel instantly displayed all the information.

【The Cocoon of the Starless】

Quality: Tier 7 Spirit Item

Introduction: One of the ancient branches of the Star Spirits, the Star Cocoon Embryo of the Formless Star Spirit of the Illusionary Cloud Starfield, born after 129,800 years of gestation, feeding on star power and star soil, and can reach at least the Void Transformation stage through normal cultivation! (Current Status: Embryonic Stage)
The embryonic stage has many uses, but be careful to avoid being haunted by the resentment of the Celestial Spirits, which may cause a backlash later on.

① Substitution: The user's soul and body are placed into a star cocoon, replacing and possessing a star spirit embryo. The star spirit's lifespan is burned as a sacrifice to evade the underworld's pursuit, altering the natural order of life and death, and allowing them to live a second life. (Note: There is a chance of being born with an "acquired formless star body.")
② Extracting Lifespan: Set up the Five Directions Platform, lower the Foundation of Spiritual Essence, offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, pray for the forgiveness of all stars, and seize the lifespan of the star spirit embryo to extend life by nine Jiazi (60 years). (Note: Lifespan-extending spiritual items below the seventh rank will become ineffective due to resistance.)
③Burning Spirit to Break Through Realms: Refine the Star Spirit Embryo and burn 100,000 years of Star Power as fuel to break through realms. (Note: Once this process begins, it is irreversible. Thorough preparation is required in advance, as there is no turning back.)

④ Star God Puppet: Using the Ghost Skull Technique, the embryonic consciousness is imprinted into the master's own mark, instilling loyalty from a young age and constantly feeding the master's own star power to grow, thus cultivating it into a puppet star spirit. (Note: If the star spirit's realm surpasses that of its master, it will suffer a backlash.)
⑤ Formless Illusionary Domain: Completely shatter and refine the star cocoon, integrating it into one's own domain space, gathering ever-changing characteristics to form a star domain maze. (Note: Only cultivators at the Void Transformation stage can possess and refine the power of a domain.)

⑥ Starburst Storm: In times of crisis, igniting the interior of the Star Cocoon and causing a self-destruction can unleash an indiscriminate starburst storm, destroying all living beings within a thousand miles and affecting an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. (Note: Entering the void also falls within this range; in most cases, it is limited to mutual destruction.)
⑦ Replace the Star Embryo: Transfer the soul of the unborn baby in the womb into the Star Cocoon, crush the Star Spirit as nourishment for the baby's growth. After the baby emerges from the cocoon, it will have its own Star Spirit Root and innate Star Body. (Note: This method may backfire, and the baby may be possessed by the Star Spirit. Even if successful, the baby's upper limit will be forever stuck at the Void Realm.)

⑧ Formless Star Pill: When a supreme alchemist takes action, there is a chance to refine the embryo into a primordial pill. One pill is produced per batch. After consumption, one can randomly awaken a "supreme divine power". (Note: This divine power is an illusionary divine power and can only be activated using star power.)

Enhancement requirement: 512 points (Cannot be enhanced after a Protoss emerges from its chrysalis)
"It really is an egg???"

Lin Shan was taken aback, never expecting that the legendary Formless Star Cocoon was actually just what the name implied.

It is an unborn form before the Protoss hatched!

No wonder!

The seventh-order formless star spirit, gestating for 129,800 years, exactly one epoch, resided deep underground in a world, and was born during a spiritual tide.

So this extraterrestrial meteorite from before the Red Dust Star Sea probably really did come carrying a star egg, which was incubated and nurtured on the ground, waiting to emerge from its cocoon in the future.

The sheer variety of information was dazzling!

"What a treasure! A seventh-tier spiritual item! No wonder it's the grand finale of the Wanhui Year!"

He trembled with excitement. The Supreme Elder of the Tai Xuan Holy Land opposite him was furious. He roared, broke free of the Devouring Soul Prison, and rushed straight at his face.

"Boy, put down the Formless Star Cocoon!"
