Star Origin Planet was shrouded in layers of rosy clouds and mist.
These clouds and mists were the essence of heaven and earth, dense to the extreme.
According to the analysis of the Shen family, the flow of the heaven and earth essence in space was not irregular. Like rivers, they circulated along fixed channels and spread to the surroundings.
And the location of Star Origin Planet was exactly where a large number of these essence rivers converged.
Thus, the Star Origin was born.
Upon landing on Star Origin Planet, Chen Yi and the others could see that the so-called Star Origin was essentially a giant hot spring.
Steam billowed above the Star Origin liquid, which looked like jade nectar and sweet dew.
The entire Star Origin was divided into one large pool and nine smaller pools surrounding it.
Disciples from the major factions of the Five Regions and the Holy Lands, one or two from each family, looked around curiously at everything here.
Chen Yi noticed that Wu Yue, whom he suspected to be his second sister, had not come.
She was clearly already at the peak of the Spirit Sea realm, so why didn't she take this opportunity to break through directly?
Everyone may freely choose a small Star Origin pool to enter, but you must not enter the large Star Origin pool.
Do not blame the Shen family for not warning you; soaking in the large pool is the extremely unstable Great Dao Immortal Weapon, the Universe Mirror.
It can create spatial turbulence at any time. If you rashly come into contact with it and perish, you cannot blame the Shen family.
Of course, the Shen family wouldn't just leave their family's supreme treasure sitting around with a group of outsiders.
The large pool where the Universe Mirror was located was surrounded by heavy restrictions. Outsiders couldn't enter at all, and any contact would trigger an early warning phenomenon.
There were also guardian exotic beasts and Shen family experts watching over it.
The Shen family elder leading the way was merely warning everyone not to harbor any crooked thoughts, otherwise, they shouldn't blame the Shen family for being ruthless.
As for the elder later mentioning that it was best to take off all clothes when soaking in the Star Origin, Chen Yi had already lost interest in listening.
Chen Yi's mind was completely occupied with three things right now:
How to slip away and deal with the Dragonkin?
How to swipe the Universe Mirror?
Could he pack up this Star Origin and take it away too?
The aura of the Dragonkin around here was very dense, indicating that Dragonkin had been active nearby just a moment ago.
Star Origin Planet was indeed the Dragonkin's stronghold within the Shen family.
To insert a stronghold into such an important place for the Shen family, the Grand Elder Shen Wanquan probably played a massive role.
The prodigy disciples from the major factions grouped up in threes and fives and jumped into the small Star Origin pools.
Of course, men and women had separate pools.
In the Star Origin liquid, everyone took off their clothes.
However, there was no need to worry about being seen by others.
The place was shrouded in clouds and mist, making visibility extremely poor. One couldn't even tell if the entity soaking in the next pool was a human or a ghost.
As for divine sense, it was banned.
Anyone who entered Star Origin Planet would find their divine sense rendered ineffective.
This special situation didn't just apply to divine sense.
The flight ability of the Martial King realm would also fail on Star Origin Planet.
It seemed that this place suppressed certain realm abilities of martial artists.
Even the Shen family only knew the what but not the why of these bizarre phenomena.
Wow! It's so cool and refreshing!
Threads of energy are continuously pouring into my body, and all my meridians have been opened up!
My spirit feels relaxed and comfortable, as if I've forgotten all my worries!
The water in this pool is truly magical!
Tian Xiaofeng of the Beast Taming Sect was in the same pool as Chen Yi. He lay in the water with an exaggerated expression, marveling at the magic of the Star Origin liquid.
This guy familiarly swam over to Chen Yi's side.
Brother Yi, we meet again!
Chen Yi wore a cold and aloof expression.
I don't like men getting this close to me, especially naked ones.
Tian Xiaofeng said with a chuckle.
Brother Yi, I have no interest in you. What I'm interested in are those young, graceful, and curvy female disciples, hehehe...
Your eyesight is truly excellent, brother. Even without divine sense, you can see so far in such thick fog.
I have this.
Tian Xiaofeng took out a cylinder with lenses from his storage ring, which looked very much like a telescope.
A Beast Catching Mirror. This is used by my Beast Taming Sect to observe exotic beasts from a distance. What is seeing through some thick fog to this?
Chen Yi glanced at the telescope.
How far can this thing see?
Through this tiny Star Origin Planet, from north to south, perfectly clear!
Chen Yi instantly realized that he could use this thing to first figure out where the Dragonkin were.
Tian Xiaofeng and the others couldn't see the Dragonkin in their soul state with their naked eyes, but Chen Yi could.
Brother Tian, this item is destined for me.
Tian Xiaofeng gave an I understand you look, pointed at Chen Yi.
Then he pulled out another Beast Catching Mirror from his storage ring.
Take it. Cultivation is boring, use it to kill time.
Just as Chen Yi got his hands on it, there was a splash, splash sound of water all around.
The male disciples from other factions in the same pool swam over one after another. A group of hot-blooded youths pressed against each other, muscle to muscle.
Brother Tian! This item is destined for me too!
Brother Tian! I beg you on my knees for one!
Adoptive father! Do you have any more!
The female disciples in the adjacent pool heard the clamor coming from Chen Yi's side, not knowing what they were arguing about.
Men are just like this. Whenever they get together, they are loud and noisy, never quiet.
Exactly, not like us girls, gentle and refined.
To have such an opportunity and not cultivate properly is truly a waste of heaven's gifts.
Chen Yi was different from lustful fellows like Tian Xiaofeng. After getting the Beast Catching Mirror, he only looked through it critically for two hours before focusing entirely on finding the Dragonkin.
Women, do not disturb my Dao heart!
The nine small and one large Star Origin pools were guarded nearby by four Martial Kings of the Shen family, stationed in four directions and ready at a moment's notice.
A massive number of guardian exotic beasts patrolled and roamed around the Star Origin. With ferocious fangs and claws and huge bodies, they were clearly not to be trifled with.
On the planet, array patterns could be seen everywhere, occasionally sprouting a wisp of brilliance.
Chen Yi's vision passed through the Beast Catching Mirror, piercing through the heavy fog, and looked into the distance.
If his divine sense wasn't disabled, he could have just scanned the entire Star Origin Planet directly.
Because this hemispherical planet was truly very small.
He saw it!
Chen Yi saw a Dragonkin in an inconspicuous cave in the corner of Star Origin Planet.
Chen Yi put away the Beast Catching Mirror, pretended to cultivate, and waited for an opportunity.
Martial artists were also human and needed to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.
While Chen Yi and the others were cultivating in the Star Origin, they still had to excrete and eat.
Of course, they couldn't relieve themselves in the pool; did they want to be beaten to death by the others?
Chen Yi took the opportunity of needing to relieve himself to leave the Star Origin pool.
Of course, he had to put his clothes on after coming out; flashing people under the moonlight was not allowed.
With thick fog everywhere and divine sense unusable, Chen Yi pretended to get lost on his way back and walked towards the direction of that Dragonkin.
Along the way, he carefully avoided the patrolling exotic beasts and refrained from touching the array restrictions.
As he was nearing the cave, Chen Yi heard the sound of a star shuttle sweeping past overhead.
He immediately turned into a prone crawler, using the cover of the thick fog and the effect of his Silent Step trait to crawl silently toward the cave where the Dragonkin was located.
Thud!
There was the sound of someone landing ahead.
Chen Yi took out the Beast Catching Mirror. His vision penetrated the thick fog, and he saw that the person who arrived was Shen Wanquan.
It really is him.
Shen Wanquan walked into the cave.
His mouth opened and closed.
The distance was too far, so Chen Yi couldn't hear what he was saying.
No matter.
Chen Yi knew lip-reading!
This trick was naturally learned from the Sword Master.
However, Chen Yi was not as formidable as the Sword Master, who could read the lips of the bizarrely shaped mouths of the demon race. Chen Yi could only read humanoid lips. He could also barely manage with the dragonkin, provided they were speaking the human tongue.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week?

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
