The Universe Mirror Immersed in the Star Source

Chen Yi turned his head to look.

Sect Master Wan?

It was none other than the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Dharmas Sect, the chubby Wan Sanqian.

He was accompanied by a group of disciples from his sect.

Does this little brother know me? I only arrived in the Star Realm for the first time yesterday...

Chen Yi's mind spun incredibly fast.

As the Ten Thousand Dharmas Sect is the head of the Five Realms and Eight Pillars, even those of us in the Shen family hold it in high esteem. How could we not recognize Sect Master Wan's handsome demeanor?

The flattery hit the mark perfectly, and Wan Sanqian smiled, stroking his goatee.

Indeed, indeed... By the way, I wanted to ask, in which direction is the Profound Dharma Star where the Star Convention is being held?

You see, little brother, my disciples are newcomers to the Star Realm and find everything fascinating.

Fearing they might run off and cause trouble, I followed them all the way.

Without realizing it, we lost our bearings and do not even know where we are in the Star Realm now.

The Star Convention is about to begin, and it would be a complete disgrace if I, the dignified Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Dharmas Sect, failed to show up.

Speaking of which, the Star Realm had been quite bustling lately.

While strolling around, Chen Yi noticed that representatives from surface-dwelling martial artist factions, like the Ten Thousand Dharmas Sect, had been appearing in the Star Realm one after another.

Of course, they all entered through the proper entrances, unlike Chen Yi, who smashed his way in with his fists.

Those who came were all major powers.

The Five Realms and Eight Pillars, the Li Imperial Family, the Three Great Holy Lands, as well as other first-tier sects and clans.

With a little inquiry, Chen Yi learned that they were here to attend the Star Convention, held once every sixty years.

The so-called Star Convention was an event where the Shen family shared their knowledge in disciplines like alchemy, artifact forging, array formations, and beast taming with other factions. Everyone would sit together to discuss the Dao, exchanging experiences and addressing difficulties.

They would also host competitions for the younger generation, such as artifact forging, alchemy, and martial arts tournaments.

The entire event lasted for a full year.

When he first heard about the Star Convention, Chen Yi felt a brief pang of shame.

I misunderstood the Shen family patriarch. The disciplines the Shen family studies are not just kept within the Star Realm out of sectarian bias; they actually share them with the surface. Are the surface factions just that incompetent, unable to learn some of these methods even when taught?

But Chen Yi had misunderstood again.

The reason most of these disciplines had limited spread and low mastery on the surface was not because the surface martial artists were weak.

It was because the necessary related resources were scarce.

Or perhaps those disciplines could not be put to great use there.

Naturally, no one bothered to deeply study and master them.

However, the resources in the Star Realm were relatively complete, with the countless stars hiding inexhaustible wealth.

Because of this, surface martial artists would often gossip and complain about the Shen family monopolizing the Star Realm.

The Star Convention organized by the Shen family was essentially a vanity project.

It was their way of saying: Look, as the leader of the Human Realm, our Shen family is inclusive and generous.

We share our research results with you, invite you to eat, drink, and have fun, and even hand out prizes. Are we not good to you? Call us big brother, will you?

Where is the Profound Dharma Star...

Do you not know, little brother?

As a Golden Body Realm member of the Shen family, it would be unjustifiable for him not to know where the Profound Dharma Star, the venue of the Star Convention, was located.

In this direction, just past sixteen stars, and you will be there.

Of course Chen Yi knew.

During his fourth simulation, he had stayed in the Star Realm for over a decade and had even seen a panoramic star map of the realm.

Thank you for letting me know, little brother. A small token of gratitude, please accept it.

Wan Sanqian was generous, directly handing Chen Yi an Earth-tier spiritual artifact as a reward.

It was a Dragon Binding Rope, very similar to the Immortal Binding Rope, just a lower-end version.

Wan Sanqian was just about to leave when a figure flew over at high speed.

Sect Master Wan!

The newcomer was Shen Wanquan, the Grand Elder of the Shen family's Sun Lineage Elder Council.

Chen Yi was no stranger to this person.

He had dealt with him a few times in the previous simulation.

Shen Wanquan had come looking for Wan Sanqian, presumably having heard that he was lost.

However, at this moment, in Chen Yi's eyes, Shen Wanquan's body carried a faint, almost imperceptible trace of Dragonkin aura!

This indicated that he had recently been in contact with the Dragonkin, tainting him with a sliver of their aura that was now on the verge of dissipating.

You can search high and low for something only to find it without any effort at all!

Chen Yi could not help but look at Wan Sanqian, his eyes revealing a sense of gratitude.

This chubby fellow really is my lucky star!

Shen Wanquan's divine sense swept over Chen Yi, and upon realizing he was just a minor fry in the Golden Body Realm, he paid him no mind. He greeted Wan Sanqian with a smile and led the way to the Profound Dharma Star.

Little brother, we will take our leave then.

Before departing, Wan Sanqian even bid Chen Yi farewell, forming a stark contrast with Shen Wanquan, who treated Chen Yi like thin air.

Chen Yi pretended to return to the Barbecue Star.

Only after Shen Wanquan and his group had flown far enough to be outside the sensory range of their divine sense did Chen Yi chase after them.

The Shen family really does have a mole, and it is someone at the level of a Grand Elder! No wonder the Shen family members were captured alive and reduced to slaves. This is a massive discovery!

Shen Wanquan's cultivation base was as high as the Martial Saint Realm, and he held immense power and prestige within the Shen family.

Getting rid of him would be no easy task.

But Chen Yi already had a plan in mind.

Of course, he would have to execute it in the simulation.

Tracking that imperceptible wisp of aura on Shen Wanquan's body, Chen Yi followed him all the way to the Profound Dharma Star.

Then, following the clues from the Profound Dharma Star, he tracked it all the way to the Star Source Star.

The Dragonkin aura reached its highest concentration on the Star Source Star.

This proved that the Dragonkin who had infiltrated the Shen family were on this very star!

Star Source...

Recalling the memories inherited from the simulation.

Chen Yi knew exactly what this Star Source was.

Everywhere in the Star Realm, the concentration of heaven and earth essence was comparable to a Heaven-tier spiritual vein.

But on the Star Source Star, there was a divine spring.

The spring water within it was formed when the heaven and earth essence reached an extremely high density, surpassing a certain threshold and condensing into liquid!

This spring held extraordinary significance for the Shen family.

The genius younger generation of the Shen family could soak in the spring water to aid in their cultivation breakthroughs and shatter realm bottlenecks.

When refining medicinal pills or forging spiritual artifacts, using a bit of this spring water could easily elevate their quality or increase the success rate.

Most importantly, it was used to repair the Universe Mirror!

Ever since Brother Kun was damaged, it had spent most of its time soaking in the Star Source.

Otherwise, in the last simulation, it would not have been Shen Yue who handed the Universe Mirror to Chen Yi.

Because under normal circumstances, the Universe Mirror should have been in the hands of the Shen family patriarch.

But since Old Shen rarely left the Star Power Profound Realm unless it was for something important, repairing the Universe Mirror naturally required separating the mirror from the person.

The Universe Mirror should be here right now. Could I just swipe it? But I cannot even get into this place...

Given how important the Star Source was, it was absolutely impossible for Chen Yi to force his way in.

At least two Martial Saints were stationed there year-round, large numbers of bloodthirsty mutated beasts prowled the area, and powerful array formations covering the surrounding star region stood guard.

Suddenly, Chen Yi thought of a breakthrough point.

The Star Convention!

One of the segments of the Star Convention was a competition among the younger generation of martial artists from various factions across different fields.

Alchemy, artifact forging, array formations, and straightforward arena combat.

The faction of the first-place winner in each competition would receive one quota to enter the Star Source, allowing them to stay inside for up to a year.

Because the environment within the Star Source could help people break through major realms, this reward was highly enticing.

Even the top geniuses of various sects faced times when they were stuck at a realm bottleneck, so the significance of breaking through a bit earlier was self-evident.

The corners of Chen Yi's mouth curled up as he cast his gaze toward the Profound Dharma Star.

"Sorry, but I'm off to stomp some noobs in the beginner zone!"
