Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5370 Comprehending the Star Crystal

chapter 5370 comprehending the star crystal

long chen was taken aback by feng xinyue. she was an enigma, and it was like there was nothing in this world that she did not know. her knowledge of both the brahma and yan xu lines was startling.

from the way she spoke, it was clear that long chen’s work for the wind god sea pavilion had not been in vain. the rewards were bound to be beyond imagination.

if anyone else had said this, long chen might have been skeptical, thinking they were trying to deceive him. but feng xinyue was different. long chen had absolute faith in her words. she even knew about the radiant world star crystal.

after tang wan-er woke up, she and long chen returned to hidden dragon island. upon returning, they were greeted by a somber scene. the hidden dragon warriors stood silently in the plaza, their eyes red as they stared at the corpses covered in white cloth. the pain of their loss was still raw.

all of them felt like the fallen didn’t deserve this. they had bitterly endured and were about to rise above their oppressors, only to die before they could savor it. tang wan-er’s eyes filled with tears again as she saw the bodies of her fallen comrades. long chen gently patted her shoulder, then turned to address everyone.

“say your goodbyes to your sisters. complaining or dwelling on it won’t change anything. some people give their all on the path of cultivation but can only walk with you for a short time. now, it’s up to you to live for them as well. you must see the world and its wonders for their sake. after all, you are carrying their dreams and hopes for the future. to honor that trust, you must become stronger and go further. the name of the hidden dragon legion must resound across the world. let them feel proud that they were part of this legion too.”

long chen’s words helped lift the spirits of the hidden dragon warriors. with renewed determination, they carefully placed the bodies of their fallen comrades in crystal coffins. but even though they felt better, it would take time for their hearts to fully heal. long chen didn’t push them to resume training right away. instead, he instructed them to meditate quietly, to slowly come to terms with their loss.

this meditation also served another purpose—to relive their experience on the battlefield. at that time, they had displayed a hint of the dragonblood legion’s fighting spirit. long chen wanted them to remember that feeling and build upon it.

afterward, long chen found a quiet place and entered seclusion, his mind sinking into the primal chaos space.

excitement surged through long chen. he had exchanged blows with a nine star disciple during the nine star trial and was profoundly shaken by the nine star disciple’s terrifying techniques.

long chen had memorized those moves and studied them afterward. but aside from the footwork technique, he hadn’t been able to replicate the other abilities.

later, he learned the god slaying cross. although this was a powerful technique, it was a move designed for a single, decisive strike. it wasn’t suited for long-term combat. thus, long chen thirsted for the techniques of that nine star heir.

with the earth cauldron’s guidance, long chen realized that if he could comprehend the orbit of the starry river, he would be able to use those moves. of course he would be excited.

hence, he started to focus on the starry river’s chaotic circulation. most people would have been overwhelmed by its complexity, but long chen had encountered countless cultivation techniques in his life. this challenge wasn’t beyond his abilities. the starry river looked lawless, but it actually operated according to a set rhythm. having previously studied his own starry sea, grasping this rhythm was nothing difficult for him.

once he understood the rhythm, his dantian’s starry sea began to resonate with it. the two forces started to interact, forming a strange resonance.

“no, what’s the point of copying its orbit? if they are able to mutually attract each other, i just need to form a bridge. i can just let them interact, no?”

long chen suddenly thought of a much simpler method. the method that the earth cauldron had told him was not wrong, but after all, it had never cultivated the nine star hegemon body art. its methods were all extremely inflexible. on the other hand, long chen always innovated stuff.

once long chen let his starry sea interact with the starry river through space, his whole body started to glow with radiant starlight. the earth cauldron was shocked.

“that’s fast! is he a monster?”
