"In the stellar space, there are not only various celestial bodies but also many unique phenomena, known as star marvels. However, these marvels differ from the wonders within domains, as most star marvels possess a considerable degree of danger," Lu Ye explained simply. "Did Senior Yang Qing tell you these things?" Jian Guhong asked. Since Lu Ye had left the Nine Provinces with Yang Qing, it was likely he obtained information about the starry sky from him. It matched his understanding, because a Nine Provinces Constellation Realm cultivator had passed on intelligence about star marvels here, stating that Mental Consciousness cannot penetrate the area where the light clusters converge. He attempted to delve in but dared to go only ten thousand miles forward, as he felt more threatened the deeper he went. Ultimately, he had to withdraw, and no one knows what risks lie within. Lu Ye shook his head and took out several ancient jade slips, handing them over: "I found out from here." These jade slips were given to him by Number Nine previously, containing a variety of information, including cultivation beyond the Constellation Realm and introductions to star marvels. Jian Guhong took them, immersed his mind to observe, and couldn't help but frown. He encountered the same issue as Lu Ye before, as the records in the jade slips were fragmented due to their age, making them hard to peruse. Yet, these were extremely important pieces of intelligence, so Jian Guhong patiently probed them. While Jian Guhong was investigating the jade slips, Lu Ye was examining the star map in front of him. The star map before him was undoubtedly incomplete, with many blank spaces where Nine Provinces cultivators had yet to explore. Although the Nine Provinces now had a significant number of Constellation Realm cultivators, when plunged into the vast stellar space, they were still but a drop in the ocean. With the current manpower, it would take at least ten to twenty years to fully explore the outer space near Nine Provinces. By then, Nine Provinces would have a complete star map, albeit relatively speaking, covering only a limited distance. But as Nine Provinces cultivators continuously emerge and venture farther, it is believed that this star map will become increasingly perfected. After observing for a while, Lu Ye took out a blank jade slip and copied the star map in front of him. This was not difficult for him; it just required spending some time. A half-day later, he was finished, and Jian Guhong too had completed investigating those jade slips, showing a thoughtful expression: "So Constellation Realm cultivation still has these aspects, no wonder those of us old folks always felt something was slightly off during cultivation." "What was off?" Lu Ye humbly inquired, as after advancing, he hadn't begun cultivation. Jian Guhong said: "We also tried to refine the strength within the spirit jade before but found that these refined powers only affected the blood and flesh, appearing difficult to penetrate the body's interior—it was for everyone. Because there was no clear path to follow, we thought it was a mistake in cultivation methods, but now we know it's not the method that's wrong, it's an essential step!" "Essence of Blood and Flesh!" Lu Ye stated. Jian Guhong nodded: "According to the records in the jade slips, Constellation Realm cultivation is divided into three stages: Essence of Blood and Flesh, Essence of Inner Organs, and Essence of Bones, corresponding to the Early, Mid, and Late stages of the Constellation Realm. Presently, the Constellation Early Stage corresponds to the Essence of Blood and Flesh, so the strength refined from spirit jade naturally accumulates within the flesh." This is precisely why those in the Constellation Realm can rapidly heal injuries and even regenerate flesh after being wounded; the more one cultivates during this stage, the more vitality their body holds. Until reaching the Constellation Mid-Stage, the refined power begins tempering one's internal organs. In the Constellation Late Stage, it refines the bones. The entire cultivation in the Constellation Realm can be seen as a detailed honing of the flesh from outside to inside, and by reaching Great Perfection, one can achieve limb regeneration. Moreover, once advancing to Moon Jade, it signifies that the cultivator's physical form no longer has any glaring weaknesses. At that point, the body strength of each cultivator won't be inferior to the most supreme spirit treasures. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽 This intelligence is crucial and needs to be disseminated quickly, enabling Nine Provinces cultivators who have advanced to the Constellation Realm to understand, preventing continual feelings of unease in their cultivation or the emergence of bizarre cultivation techniques that might lead to prioritizing incorrectly. "I'll keep these jade slips," Jian Guhong announced. "Certainly, Senior. Take them," Lu Ye nodded, having read them thoroughly himself; they held no further utility for him. Instead, by allowing Jian Guhong to oversee them here, future advancements to the Constellation Realm at this locale could reference the contents, gaining preliminary understanding of Constellation nuances. Turning towards the star map, Lu Ye remarked: "Senior asked me earlier which direction I intended to travel, suggesting I explore these blank areas, correct?" The blank areas inevitably need exploration, but no one will be forced into anything. For Lu Ye, if truly left to his choice, he would actually prefer those unexplored regions, as they present greater opportunities to find spirit jade. Following others' paths doesn't carry much significance, only picking up remnants they've left behind. "Exactly, would you be willing?" "Naturally, willing," Lu Ye casually pointed to a blank region in the stellar space, "Then I shall head in this direction." Jian Guhong cheerfully agreed: "That's excellent, though for your first exploration outside, I suggest not venturing too far. Also, frequently utilize Sun Taibai Star to pinpoint Nine Provinces' location within the stellar space, familiarizing yourself with this technique." Jian Guhong paused slightly, then said, "Additionally, after you leave, go find a Heaven's Augury Hall, connect with Heaven's Augury, and receive a Heaven's Augury Pillar to carry with you." Lu Ye was surprised, "Constellation Realm cultivators can receive a Heaven's Augury Pillar?" He hadn't heard of this before. Jian Guhong nodded, "It was also an inspiration from Heaven's Augury when we were constructing this Governor's Hall. Every Constellation Realm cultivator can receive a Heaven's Augury Pillar when leaving the Nine Provinces. This way, even when in stellar space, one can communicate back with the Nine Provinces. However, there is a distance limitation. According to their current feedback, within a half-year journey, you can contact the Nine Provinces at any time. But beyond this distance, the connection will be interrupted." This half-year journey naturally refers to the distance the current Nine Provinces Constellation can traverse within half a year while normally flying through stellar space. Such a distance is quite far. Number Nine did well with this. It must have realized the inconvenience for Nine Provinces cultivators to maintain contact with their home domain after going out, hence this inspiration and the granting of the Heaven's Augury Pillar. With such means, Constellation Realm cultivators out exploring can timely relay their discoveries back, which allowed Jian Guhong to draft an incomplete star map here. Since it's a benefit everyone gets, naturally Lu Ye will go and find Number Nine to receive one for himself later. Everything that needed explaining has been explained to Lu Ye. There's nothing more to remind. Once one has stepped into the Constellation Realm, it is inevitable to venture into stellar space. No one will remain stagnant in the Nine Provinces forever. Jian Guhong suddenly remembered something, "By the way, there's another matter I need to discuss with you." "Please speak, Senior!" Lu Ye became solemn. "It's about forms of address." "Forms of address?" Lu Ye was puzzled. What's the issue with addresses? "After discussions among us old folks, we've decided unanimously that after a Nine Provinces cultivator ascends to the Constellation Realm, we should consider each other peers. You know, the lifespan of us cultivators is far longer than that of mortals. In the past, the limit was the Divine Sea, so the generational hierarchy wasn't confusing. But now, with potential advancement to Constellation and beyond to Moon Jade and Sun Blaze, it's different. Take you, Yiye, for example. Given time, you will surely reach the Sun Blaze Realm! By then, perhaps some of us will still be stuck in the Constellation Realm. We can't possibly have you still call us senior, can we? Now we have you, Lu Yiye, and perhaps in the future, there'll be a Lu Liangye and a Lu Sanye..." Lu Ye didn't think it was a problem, "Since you're seniors, you'll always be seniors." Jian Guhong waved his hand, "That's true, but honestly, we elders can't bear it. So after much discussion, we felt that since Nine Provinces now has a new future, it should have new conventions. Let Constellation be the dividing line: below Constellation, the hierarchy stands as it is; above, treat each other as peers! With our long lifespan as cultivators, even if we elders are at least hundreds of years older than you, calling each other brothers isn't really a big deal. I reckon in those top domains, there are surely cultivators who are thousands of years apart calling each other brothers." Lu Ye vaguely sensed the pride among the elders. On one hand, they hoped for future generations to surpass them in cultivation. On the other hand, they dreaded the awkwardness of being called seniors by someone with higher cultivation. Hence, they set such a precedent. Lu Ye pondered briefly, then graciously cupped his hands in a salute, "Senior Brother Guhong!" Jian Guhong laughed heartily and returned the salute, "Junior Brother Yiye!" However, Lu Ye soon realized a problem, "But my sect master is also in the Constellation Realm..." Jian Guhong teased, "When you see him, try calling him brother!" Of course, Lu Ye wasn't that foolish. Among those not from the same sect, calling each other brother was not a problem. But within the same sect, naturally, one should strictly follow the generational hierarchy. "Alright, I've said all that needs to be said. Go back, prepare a bit, and set out when you're ready." Jian Guhong waved his hand, "After entering the Constellation Realm, you'll soon realize that the Nine Provinces is just a speck!" Lu Ye wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took out a ring, "Please accept this, Senior Brother." Jian Guhong received it, suspicious, "What is it?" "You'll see for yourself, brother. The things inside can be considered common property of the Governor's Hall." With that, he turned and left the hall, soaring into the sky. After he left, Jian Guhong inspected the ring in his hand, quickly understanding what it was. It turned out to be a kind of storage tool, similar to a storage sack, but the internal storage space was undoubtedly more stable and larger.
