One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 374 Chapter 375: Bird in a Cage
Zhao Fuyun looked at the star official in front of him who was wearing a star robe, and then he raised his head to look at the star in the sky.

This star hangs lonely in the sky. The sky is no longer empty. Zhao Fuyun doesn't know if it is his illusion, but the light of the star seems to fall on this star official.

The cultivation method of this Xingyao Plateau must be unique.

He looked at the stars, then at the star official in front of him, and couldn't help but ask, "Is Xingyao Plateau so afraid of darkness?"

“It’s not a question of fear or not, but there is no need for it. Because you entered the Starry Plateau alone, thousands of people suffered. I will regret not being able to stop you today.” The old star official spoke the most determined words in the gentlest tone.

Zhao Fuyun did not use his second Yuanying to force his way in.

He looked at the other person again and said, "If that's the case, I'll leave now."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and the star official bowed to him.

The other party's manners were very considerate and impeccable.

Zhao Fuyun turned around and walked a few steps, then stopped and said, "Star Officer just said that I am the first disciple from Mount Tiandu to come here after Senior Brother Feng? Is that true?"

The star official replied: "Star officials should not lie. What I said is of course true."

Zhao Fuyun stared at him, trying to see if his words came from his heart.

But he couldn't see it, so he turned and left. In Tiandu Mountain, Senior Brother Feng once said that Senior Brother Chen Chengzhang's name had dimmed, which meant that he was either in some kind of predicament or was about to die.

Zhao Fuyun walked back into the darkness.

He did not walk the way he came, but instead walked along the edge of the Starry Plateau.

The star official did not leave, but followed Zhao Fuyun. Zhao Fuyun walked in the outer circle, while he walked in the inner circle.

He monitored Zhao Fuyun and did not allow him any chance to sneak into the Xingyao Plateau.

Zhao Fuyun was thinking, if Senior Brother Chen Chengzhang was in the Xingyao Plateau, then why did this person say that he had never seen other disciples of Tiandu Mountain.

Unless Senior Brother Chen Chengzhang did not reveal his identity, or entered here with another identity, or this person simply doesn’t know.

Another possibility is that they knew, but something happened to Senior Brother Chen Chengzhang here, so Xingyao Plateau decided to hide the fact that Senior Brother Chen had arrived here.

The last one is that Senior Brother Chen Chengzhang has really never been here.

Zhao Fuyun thought as he walked.

Since coming to the edge of the Starry Plateau, he found that the repulsion and highlighting of the darkness had weakened a lot.

But he also felt something like a mark. He felt that his body was shrouded in starlight. Unconsciously, he seemed to be marked by the starlight of the Starry Plateau.

He knew that this must have come from that star official.

Before he knew it, Zhao Fuyun had walked dozens of miles. He walked sideways, and because the mountain was steep, he was walking on cliffs.

However, on the Xingyao Plateau behind this star official, there was a man in a yellow robe walking step by step.

This is none other than Zhao Fuyun’s second Nascent Soul, the Taishan Hercules. He had already quietly escaped into the earth and arrived at the plateau.

He looked up at the sky and saw the stars.

Each star has a different color. He doesn’t know where these stars come from, how they appear, or what each star represents, so he just watches as he walks.

Because there are stars hanging in the sky, the sky has a height. Otherwise, all you can see is endless depth.

With the stars, the whole sky has height. Here, between heaven and earth, there seems to be only a mountain. If there were no mountain in the middle, heaven and earth would be overlapped.

As the strong man of Taishan walked along the way, he saw scattered houses.

These houses are grouped in groups of three or five, forming tribes.

At first glance, the endless grassland was peaceful. It would be bad to think that my arrival would bring disaster here.

However, the star official said that it was the arrival of Mars that brought about the disaster. His second Yuanying was of earth nature, without any fire nature, and would not ignite anything.

He walked along the way, moving forward all the way, going to the highest plains and the deepest parts.

He discovered that the residences of the people here were like a whirlpool, radiating from the inside out.

Zhao Fuyun walked silently on the starry land.

Observing their lives, I found that the people here mainly engaged in animal husbandry, with herds of cattle and sheep.

But every tribe living in groups has a star palace.

These star palaces are big and small, some are simple and some are luxurious. He stood outside the star palace and looked inside. With his understanding of the meaning of Taixu, he was not rejected by the heaven and earth here, so naturally no one could find him.

He saw stone statues of people in the Star Palace, and in front of the statues there were tablets with the names of certain star gods engraved on them.

The Taishan strongman looked at the statue inside, and then at the people in the Star Palace, but did not alarm them. He continued to go deeper into the plateau.

The deeper you go, the brighter the starlight becomes.

He discovered that there was a purple star in the very center, which was extremely brilliant and surrounded by other stars.

Of course, among the stars there are bright ones and dim ones, and he doesn’t know what the dim stars represent.

He met a man who looked like an apprentice of the Star Palace. He captured his thoughts and learned that the method of cultivation here was quite special.

The practice method here, from the very beginning, requires one to visualize a star shining in one's heart, and then integrate various true evil spirits.

To be more precise, it is to condense the stars with true evil.

The stars fall from the ethereal sea of consciousness between the eyebrows into the dantian, fall into the sandalwood, condense into star pills, and finally turn into starlight and return to the sea of consciousness between the eyebrows.

The cultivators here call the sea of consciousness the sea of gods, and the final transformation into gods is when the starlight from the sea of gods escapes from the body, flies up to the sky, and turns into a star.

After learning this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky. He saw that although the sky was not filled with stars, there were still quite a few.

I couldn't help but wonder, is it possible that this Xingyao Plateau has produced so many cultivators who have transcended the Nascent Soul stage and reached the level of God and Star?

In the entire Wu Zhou Dynasty, on the surface, there was only one Patriarch Xiyi. He felt that the brightest purple star in the starry sky might be the cultivator who had truly transformed his spirit into a flying star, but the others might not be.

With such doubts in mind, he came to the center of the plateau. It was still flat, but there was a mound with a palace built on it.

A city was formed around this palace.

He was walking on the street when he suddenly heard the sound of a piano.

The music sounded familiar, because he had heard it in Tiandu Mountain. The name of the music score was "Bird in a Cage", and it was composed based on the theme of a bird trapped in a cage, hearing countless bird sounds outside.

He once heard a Taoist master playing in Tiandu Mountain.
