Chapter 38 7 Star Transformation Technique
Wow! My older brother has ascended to heaven!
"Wow! Zilong, look! My older brother has ascended to heaven again!"
The commotion on this side of the pool had already alerted Pigsy, who was not far away. He watched quietly as the world changed.
When it saw Kongming enveloped by stars formed from runes, as if ascending to immortality, it began to ramble incoherently.
"Ganglie, do not disturb the Prime Minister!" Zhao Yun, who was guarding him, shouted sternly. His face was solemn, his eyes fixed on Kongming by the pool, his heart filled with doubt and unease.
However, Zhu Ganglie seemed not to have heard Zhao Yun's warning and continued to gesticulate wildly and speak recklessly.
Just then, Kongming slowly landed, then stood up, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He turned to look at Zhu Ganglie and smiled slightly, "You fool, are you expecting me to ascend to immortality while you're spouting nonsense here?"
Upon hearing this, Pigsy scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Brother, what are you saying? I, Old Pig, am not that kind of person. I... I just saw you enveloped in stars, and that's why I thought you should ascend to paradise soon..."
Kongming waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to hear any more sounds from that pig's mouth.
He looked at Zhao Yun and said in a deep voice, "Zilong, I may have discovered the reason why we traveled to this world."
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes. He pointed to the Jade Void Seal in Kongming's hand and quickly asked, "Prime Minister, could it be that the thing in your hand is the key to our time travel?"
Kongming nodded, a profound light flashing in his eyes: "That's right, but it's just my guess!"
After listening, Zhao Yun pondered for a moment, then said, "Prime Minister, is it possible for us to use its power to return to our original world?"
Kongming took a deep breath and shook his head: "I haven't reached a conclusion on this yet. The power of this object is mysterious and unpredictable. Although it can draw upon the power of stars, I don't know how to use its ability to travel through time, or whether it requires a guide. I know nothing about any of these things..."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded. He recalled the tragic scene on Wuzhang Plains when Kongming defied the heavens to borrow life, only to be struck by tribulation lightning. The memory still terrified him. He never expected that this object would save their lives in a roundabout way.
Kongming even asserted that Gu Xuan's ability to cultivate to that level was definitely related to these treasures.
Even when he later left this world, perhaps it was because of the constraints of the world that he was unable to take the treasure with him, rather than him intentionally leaving the treasure in the mortal realm.
Such extraordinary treasures, and Gu Xuan possessed five of them at the same time, which shows that he was also a chosen one who was blessed with great fortune.
But who could have imagined that these five treasures would later be used by ordinary people as national heirlooms, causing them to fall into disrepair?
The cultivation world today can hardly return to its former glory. Whether it's the overall level or the top few, it can't compare to the era of Gu Xuan.
Even their combat strength at the same level was far inferior to that of that era...
"I wonder what the triggers will be for activating the other four treasures!"
Kongming pulled himself back to reality. Now that he had obtained the Seven Stars Divine Transformation Technique, his top priority was to comprehend this technique as soon as possible. Since breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the Lianshan Technique had clearly become ineffective.
The Seven Stars Divine Transformation Technique can precisely make up for this shortcoming of his.
There was also a large amount of information inexplicably flooding his mind, which he had to process. He suspected that this was valuable experience instilled by successive holders of the treasure, and he couldn't let it go to waste...
"Zilong, I intend to go into seclusion for some time. During this period, you will be responsible for protecting me," Kongming said in a deep voice. He knew that cultivating the Seven Stars Divine Transformation Technique was no small matter and required complete concentration, without the slightest disturbance.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded solemnly and said, "Prime Minister, rest assured, with me here, I will not allow anyone to disturb you."
Kongming nodded, then turned and walked towards the secret chamber.
Everything needed for cultivation had already been arranged in the secret chamber. He sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to enter a state of cultivation.
He disregarded the changing winds of the outside world. At this moment, he was free of distractions and focused on improving his cultivation level first, since he disliked the title of a half-baked cultivator.
Time flowed by quietly like water. In the secret chamber, Kongming was surrounded by starlight, and his aura gradually became deep and mysterious. Every move he made was guided by principles.
The Seven Stars Divine Transformation Technique cannot be mastered overnight. It requires Kongming to reach a completely new level in his state of mind, cultivation, and understanding before he can continue to the next stage of cultivation...
Yu Liang Prefectural Governor's Residence.
"Your Highness, the situation is somewhat unstable right now. Fortunately, An Tingjing in the north is keeping the court in check, which gives us a chance to catch our breath!" Ji Yizhi said to Li Guangling with concern.
"Alas! I'm afraid the Jade Cauldron Sect's patience is almost worn out. We've occupied Jade Beam for more than half a year, yet we're still only guarding this small piece of land. If they abandon us, we'll be in imminent danger!"
These days, Li Guangling has been in a state of utter chaos. Although, as Kongming had predicted, Empress Wu did not send a large army to suppress the rebellion, Jinshan County was constantly pressuring him to reduce his troops or else they would launch an attack.
Li Guangling could only agree to their demands to buy time.
After all, how can one allow another to sleep peacefully beside one's bed? Li Guangling now commands 50,000 elite troops, a considerable force that far exceeds the size of a county-level garrison. How can the prefect tolerate him?
Perhaps Empress Wu saw this, which is why she hesitated to act. None of these border generals were easy to deal with.
They always said one thing to the emperor's face and another behind his back, only thinking about taking advantage of the chaos in this turbulent world to strengthen themselves.
The imperial court was more than happy for them to fight each other and keep each other in check.
"I wonder what Master Zhuge has been doing these past six months! If he were here, how would he have broken this deadlock?"
Li Guangling's eyes darted around, seemingly missing this cunning Zhuge Liang.
He paused for a moment, then looked at Ji Yizhi mysteriously and said, "Mr. Ji, could you help me find some handsome young boys? Remember to keep it a secret!"
"Why is Your Highness doing this?" Ji Yi asked in confusion.
"Don't worry about that, I have my own uses for it!" Li Guangling waved his hand to interrupt Ji Yizhi's question, a glint of something unfathomable flashing in his eyes.
Although Ji Yizhi was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions since Li Guangling was unwilling to talk about it. He turned around and left to make arrangements.
The next day, Li Guangling lied and went out, secretly heading into the deep mountains.
He grew up in the Prince's mansion and knew that some things had to be done in a way that pleased the person in charge for the effect to be immediate.
When Kongming was about to leave, he asked Zhao Yun to draw a map of Wolong Manor for him in case of emergency. They usually communicated by carrier kites.
Kongming's departure lasted for more than half a year, which made him somewhat uneasy. If, over time, their relationship cooled, then things would be in serious trouble...
