Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 453: Thousand Stars Vine!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

The fist-sized fruit looked simple and unadorned. If Bei Feng had not watched it ripen and form before his eyes, he probably would not have taken another look at it.

The surface of the fruit looked like a rock that'd been blasted by many winds. It was rugged and rough, and dull ring patterns were etched on its surface.

There wasn't a single trace of fragrance from it, and it seemed no different from a regular stone.

"Pa-da!"

The fruit landed on the ground with a light sound, just like a normal stone.

Bei Feng stretched out his hand and grabbed the fruit.

"Ding! 1 Moon Grade treasure discovered, Nine Stars Fruit! (This is a fruit that'd been formed from the Thousand Stars Vine using the limitless lava and the flesh and blood of Demonic Beasts as fertilizer. Every ring around it represents 100 years. The fruit formed by a peak level Thousand Stars Vine can produce up to 1,000 rings, becoming a Sacred Fruit!

The thicker the Heaven and Earth Lingqi, and the more Demonic Beast flesh and blood it receives, the faster the Thousand Stars Fruit will grow!

The Nine Stars Fruit's exterior is rock; when the skin is peeled off, the flesh will be revealed. Consuming the flesh will improve blood and Qi, as well as mental power!) Experience gained: 0!"

The emotionless voice of the System resounded coldly in Bei Feng's head.

"What a pity, this Thousand Stars Vine grew in the wrong place. If it was a place with rich Heaven Earth Lingqi, and on a planet suitable for cultivation, it might not be impossible for it to form a true Thousand Stars Fruit!" Bei Feng muttered to himself with shock. The value of this vine could have been extremely high, and it might not be the slightest bit inferior to the Illumination God Tree!

It was just that the Heaven Earth Lingqi on Earth was simply too weak. To be able to survive here for 900 years was already the limit for this Thousand Stars Vine.

The Heaven Earth Lingqi here was already insufficient to support the growth of the Thousand Stars Vine any longer. At the end, the vine itself was transformed to ashes to provide nourishment for the Thousand Stars Fruit.

'This Nine Stars Fruits should be far from reaching its peak level. It's simply tailored for my current level, and can be used to strengthen my body's blood and Qi and mental power!'

Bei Feng felt a little regretful about the fruit, but this level of spirit fruit was already extremely extraordinary. The Nine Stars Fruit now was perfectly suited for his use. Even if the fully matured Thousand Stars Fruit was placed in front of him now, Bei Feng would not dare to eat it. The immense power contained in a Sacred Fruit was enough to directly explode his body in an instant!

With a thought, the Nine Stars Fruit disappeared into his spatial ring. Now was still not the time to consume it.

This fruit could be the most valuable spirit fruit in his possession so far. Although the Illumination God Tree was precious, the Illumination God Fruit would still need many more years of growth before it would become comparable to the Nine Stars Fruit!

Bei Feng's body was filled with hidden injuries right now. In addition, he was still in a weakened state due to the secret art Mixed Yuan Body. Consuming the Nine Stars Fruit right now would be a complete waste of a heavenly treasure!

After keeping the fruit, Bei Feng did not leave. Previously, he had been wary because of the Thousand Stars Vine. But now that it'd withered away, he naturally did not have to worry. With a light leap, he directly jumped into the shallow lava pond.

The huge lava pool still radiated a scorching temperature that remained after the lava was gone. However, this bit of heat was not enough to affect Bei Feng's movements.

Mystic One and the rest did not know what Bei Feng was doing by jumping into the lava pond, but they did not ask too much and just waited by the side of the lava pond.

The lava pond had a face width of over a thousand meters. The further down one went, the wider it became. At 3,000 meters down, it'd become over five kilometers wide!

At the bottom of the lava pond was a dark-red rock. The endless darkness at the bottom radiated red glow because of it. The black stone walls around it were also scarlet-red.

The temperature here had already reached over a thousand degrees. Bei Feng also had no choice but to utilize the power of the Star Gods to endure it—a light golden robe made of light appeared around him.

The scorching temperature around him was swept away, and Bei Feng could not feel the heat at all after that.

"What a powerful fire-attributed stellar energy! This must be a piece of meteorite!" Bei Feng mumbled to himself, making his conclusion after seeing the huge piece of rock as big as a house. When he thought back to the sheer depth of this lava lake, everything made sense.

"Did the Thousand Stars Vine arrive with this meteorite? And that is... a broken sword!"

Bei Feng grew increasingly shocked the longer he looked at the meteorite. The side of the meteorite still had remains of the roots of the Thousand Stars Vine on it. The roots were already dried out, but it were not incinerated by the terrifying heat around them. At the center of the meteorite was a palm-sized silver-white sword piece, radiating a shocking sharp edge!

It was unknown how many years this sword piece had endured, but it still gleamed brightly as though it was new. The sharp aura around it caused even Bei Feng to feel a cutting pain!

A dark gold chain that extended for several thousand meters could be seen on the giant meteorite, and while it looked extremely ancient, there wasn't any damage done to it.

"Ding! Peak 9 Stars treasure discovered, Dark God Metal! (This is a divine metal that's been formed through extremely harsh conditions. It is indestructible, and is capable of binding souls!) Experience gained: 0!"

Bei Feng held a link of the Dark God Metal in his hands. The chain was only about as thick as an infant's fist, but it was extremely heavy. Its density was also high to a scary extent!

'Just who was it that placed this set of chains here? And what was it for?'

Bei Feng felt somewhat suspicious, but there was no one to answer his thoughts.

This Dark God Metal was quite obviously not a part of this meteorite. It must have been added on later.

'Then, how heavy is this meteorite? Or does it have any special attribute?'

Bei Feng looked at the huge meteorite with amazement. The lava python's strength was over millions of jin, but it had still been trapped here for so many years. The Dark God Metal Chains were directly pulled through the meteorite and linked together. If the meteorite had just been a normal meteorite and had the weight of such, or if it hadn't had any special attributes, the lava python would have dragged it away and left long ago.

"No matter what, I can be considered to have lucked out greatly this time."

Bei Feng stopped thinking about the matter. This lava python was extremely strong, but it was restricted by the chains and could not move its tail, only being able to dodge about in place.

Otherwise, even if Bei Feng had the Mixed Yuan Body secret art activated the entire fight, he would still not be a match for it.

Right now, he did not try to touch or move the huge meteorite. Instead, he directly floated beside it and rotated the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique.

Numerous strands of red mist-like stellar energy flowed into Bei Feng's stellar acupoint, causing his chest to feel warm and comfortable.

Bei Feng's heart began to glow with red light, and a portion of his chest also lit up!

From the outside, it was possible to see the scarlet stellar energy flowing into his body. A ball of light the size of a fingernail pulsed gently, contracting and expanding!

The countless blood vessels, muscles, and bones in Bei Feng's body could be seen through his skin now. Golden and red blood flowed within his veins, with the golden portion taking up a third of the blood.

Each bone was akin to white jade, transparent, and did not contain any impurities.

Inside the stellar acupoint, large amounts of scarlet stellar energy congealed, turning into countless drops of red liquid. A short moment later, a hundred zhang wide pond was created!

Bei Feng's mental power muddled along without any aim, flowing into the stellar acupoint and sinking into the scarlet pond.

Large amounts of stellar energy flowed into his body without rest. Bei Feng in that state completely forgot time, and where he was. He'd even forgotten who he was.

The only thing he could feel was an endless darkness before him, and a constrained feeling. At this moment, he only wanted to break the darkness and see the light again.

But no matter how he struggled, the darkness remained solid and unyielding.

Large amounts of the scarlet energy flooded into the darkness, and an unknown amount of time passed. Perhaps it was one second, or perhaps it was a thousand years, but Bei Feng finally accumulated enough energy!

"Boom!"

After countless clashes, a tiny crack finally appeared in the darkness, revealing a scarlet pond!

Bei Feng's muddled mental power also began to awaken. In an instant, he remembered who he was and what he was doing. His mental power seemed to have been refined through fire and water, finally upgrading in quality. As his mental power returned, a light and dreamy feeling spread through his body.

Bei Feng's mental power instantly swept out in all directions. It was only able to extend 500 meters away from him, but inside his body, he could perceive every small detail. Although the stellar acupoint was tiny from the outside, the space inside it was seemingly boundless!

Bei Feng also finally understood what the darkness he had been trapped in was. A tiny thumb-sized lotus seed was condensed after absorbing an inestimable amount of stellar energy. At this time, shoots were growing out from the little seed!

'So this is the true magic of the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique? The birth of every Star God is the beginning of an evolution of my consciousness!'

How could Bei Feng still not understand? His consciousness had sunk into the tiny lotus seed earlier, and at the moment that the lotus sprouted, he made use of the opportunity at the edge of life and death to improve his consciousness!

At this moment, Bei Feng was like an outsider, observing the lotus seed's transformation from the side. His heart was tranquil and unmoved by external factors.

The moment the lotus seed sprouted, the absorption speed of the stellar energy increased by over 10 times! The large amounts of energy quickly condensed into liquid, which was then absorbed by the lotus!

The absorption speed was so fast that a small whirlpool appeared on the energy pool's surface!

In the outside world, Bei Feng sat down cross-legged, and ribbon-like scarlet stellar energy waves rippled around him. Following that, the stellar energy in the meteorite seemed to gush out like water off a floodgate, directly into Bei Feng's body!

The scarlet stellar energy was like a huge patch of red cloud that covered the sky inside the stellar acupoint. Large amounts of stellar energy liquid rained into the pool, forming a balance between the absorption and replenishment rate.

The lotus plant grew very quickly; large amounts of roots began to extend outwards, gulping in the stellar energy greedily. The main stalk also grew upwards rapidly before fanning open to reveal a scarlet lotus leaf!

This lotus was incredibly beautiful, like a crystalline flower that was impossible to describe with words!

More lotus leaves appeared continuously, and the hundred zhang wide pond was soon filled with lotus leaves. Numerous lotus flowers bloomed resplendently, each one as red as fire.

As stellar energy continued to pour in, the lotus flowers grew brighter. Each one was the size of a bowl and looked extremely eye-catching. Each lotus flower was akin to a ball of flame!

The lotuses soon grew closer together and formed into a ball shape. The lotus leaves under them began to wither, and countless wisps of green essence flowed from the lotus leaves into the huge ball of flowers.

As time passed, the radiance of the meteorite outside began to dim slowly, and numerous pieces of shattered rock rolled down from it.
