537: Chapter 537 Seven Star Tower
"Master, there is a call inviting you to the Seven Star Tower."
"Who?"
"It's Ji Yu."
"What kind of place is the Seven Star Tower, and how do I get there?"
"The Seven Star Tower is a place established by the Holy Land specifically for Star Lord Realm geniuses to store martial arts," Yuanbao said, then waved a hand, and a door appeared in the courtyard.
"Master can go to the Seven Star Tower through this door."
Xiao Weiqing approached, and many locations appeared before him to choose from.
"Seven Star Tower, Demon Suppressing Abyss, Purple Sea Beach..."
Xiao Weiqing reached out and clicked on the Seven Star Tower interface.
The next second.
The door opened, and through it, one could see what appeared to be a plaza on the other side.
Xiao Weiqing stepped inside and disappeared from the courtyard.
His feet landed on solid ground.
A massive plaza came into view. On the plaza, doors appeared out of thin air from time to time, and people walked out of them as easily as walking from a bedroom into a living room.
All these people had the same destination: an Attic in the center of the plaza.
The Attic had seven floors in total.
Although it only had seven floors, this Attic was incredibly tall, even more majestic than the Blue Star's highest peak that Xiao Weiqing had once destroyed.
"Xiao Weiqing, over here."
Ji Yu waved from the side.
"Come on, hurry up. Ze and Yisha have been inside for a long time. If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have gone in long ago."
"We don't have any credits, do we? Why the rush?"
Ji Yu said, "Listen to yourself. Can't we just take a look even if we don't have credits?"
"When you see those powerful Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques, you'll be more motivated to Cultivate, then earn credits, exchange them for absolute techniques, Cultivate again, earn more credits..."
"A cycle that repeats, a virtuous circle."
"Are you sure?"
"Is it possible that you can't earn credits, can't learn powerful Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques, your Cultivation stagnates, and because your strength is insufficient, you still can't earn credits..."
"A cycle that repeats, a vicious circle?"
"?"
Ji Yu gnashed his teeth. "Xiao Weiqing, if you didn't have a Domain, I'd let you know whether the fists of us Burenites are salty or bland."
Xiao Weiqing's lips curled up. "Then you'll have to Cultivate hard, earn credits, and exchange them for powerful absolute techniques."
"Humph, just you wait."
The two of them walked side by side into the Seven Star Tower.
"Let's go, straight to the fifth floor."
"Not going to look at the floors below?"
Ji Yu whispered, "The first to fourth floors collect low-level, Intermediate, Advanced, and top-tier Starry Sky Martial Arts respectively. Most of the people there are members from the First to Third Heavens."
"Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques, on the other hand, are on the fifth floor."
Xiao Weiqing understood; no wonder he didn't see those people from the Middle Three Heavens.
"Then we'll go to the fifth floor."
Having tasted the power of a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique, who would still want to learn Starry Sky Martial Arts? It wasn't that Starry Sky Martial Arts were bad, but rather that Xiao Weiqing's horizons were now higher.
Entering the teleportation gate, their figures flashed, and the next moment, they arrived at the fifth floor of the Seven Star Tower.
The layout of the fifth floor was a bit like a library, with rows of tall bookshelves standing there, and people flying up and down from time to time.
Ji Yu walked toward a device in the corner.
Xiao Weiqing followed. "What are you doing?"
"Checking how many credits I need for the second move of my Starry Sky Ultimate Technique."
"How do you check?"
Ji Yu said while operating the device, "It's very simple, just like looking for a book in a library."
Ji Yu typed in the words 'Wind Thunder Blade', and the device's interface changed, displaying information related to the Wind Thunder Blade.
Wind Thunder Blade, created by an Undying Realm expert named Hope. Hope specialized in the Dao of Thunder and created the Wind Thunder Blade in a Sea of Thunder somewhere in the Universe. It has three forms in total.
First Form: Wind and Thunder Under Heaven, priced at 20,000 credits.
"Second Form... 50,000 credits. Not bad, acceptable." Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then mocked himself, "That's right, if it were too expensive, I doubt the Old Ancestor could have afforded it either."
This Starry Sky Ultimate Technique of Ji Yu's was something his Old Ancestor had struggled for half his life to leave for Bullen Planet before he died.
"Xiao Weiqing, do you want to use it?"
Ji Yu stared at Xiao Weiqing and asked.
Xiao Weiqing was amused; Ji Yu was testing him to see if he knew any Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques.
"Tch, boring. I'm going to experience the second form of the Wind Thunder Blade. You can browse on your own."
"You can even experience it?"
"Of course. You can try on clothes before buying them, let alone a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique. 50,000 credits—even if we sold our Bullen Planet, it wouldn't be worth that much."
Ji Yu waved his hand and flew toward one of the bookshelves.
Xiao Weiqing stood there thinking. Should he search for the Seamless Slash? According to the panel's display, the Seamless Slash belonged to Starry Sky Martial Arts, but the power of Soul Slash was beyond doubt.
But since he comprehended Soul Slash, there had been no follow-up.
Xiao Weiqing remembered that the Seamless Slash had a third stage, 'Seamless', and he could also feel that perhaps his strength was not yet sufficient, which was why he had been unable to reach the third stage of the Seamless Slash.
"Forget it."
After some thought, Xiao Weiqing gave up. That broken Civilization Ruins had clearly existed for a long time, and even the assessment mechanism had developed issues. Perhaps the Seamless Slash truly was an absolute technique from some ancient civilization.
Xiao Weiqing reached out and typed the words 'Star-Slaying Fall' into the device.
Before he left Blue Star, Xue Yuan only said that it was inconvenient to reveal her teacher's name, but she didn't mention anything else to be wary of. Furthermore, having given him the Star-Slaying Fall so early, there was clearly no need to hide it.
The interface changed.
As expected.
The Seven Star Tower had information related to the Star-Slaying Fall, though not much—only a few lines of text.
Star-Slaying Fall: creator unknown. Seventy million years ago, it was used by an unnamed Dominator to heavily injure an Undying Realm expert with a single strike.
It belongs to the top-tier Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques, priced at 1.5 million credits.
"1.5 million credits?"
Ji Yu cried out in surprise, "Xiao Weiqing, are you crazy? What kind of family background do you have to dare eye a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique worth 1.5 million credits?"
Xiao Weiqing turned around and said calmly, "If I'm going to learn, I'll learn the best. I use a blade, and this Star-Slaying Fall is quite suitable."
"Listen to you. How should I put it? Should I say you have great ambitions, or that the ignorant are fearless?"
"This is 1.5 million credits. Even if you can enter the Sixth Heaven, you won't be able to earn that much without thirty to fifty years."
"You would need to take missions frequently and leave the Holy Land, but then your Cultivation would fall behind. It's not worth the loss."
"Are credits hard to earn?"
Ji Yu said seriously, "Please remove the 'are they' part."
"Members of the Middle Three Heavens can probably only earn 10,000 to 20,000 credits a year; otherwise, it would definitely affect their Cultivation."
"I suggest you wait until after you break through to become a Dominator before eyeing that absolute technique."
Xiao Weiqing nodded. "I'll take your advice."
"Mm, good, you're receptive to advice. If you don't know any Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques, you can learn one for 10,000 to 30,000 credits as a transition first."
"Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques generally require between 10,000 and 1,000,000 credits. Absolute techniques costing a few tens of thousands are just the lowest level."
Xiao Weiqing didn't refuse Ji Yu's suggestion. "I understand."
"Mm, do you want to keep looking?"
"Are you ready to leave?"
Ji Yu said, "Yeah, I just came to check on the Wind Thunder Blade to give myself some motivation. Looking at other things is useless."
"What about you?"
"I'm planning to check out the sixth floor."
"The sixth floor? You're going to look for a Soul Cultivation Technique?" Ji Yu was somewhat puzzled. "Your Divine Soul is so powerful; don't tell me your Soul Cultivation Technique is no good."
"It's not for myself, but for our Blue Star Civilization. Our Blue Star Civilization doesn't have a widespread Soul Cultivation Technique yet."
"I see. That makes sense; you are the first Star Lord of your civilization."
"Alright, go ahead."
"By the way, for a situation like your Blue Star Civilization, you can first apply for a low-tier Soul Cultivation Technique. The cost won't be very high. Although it can only be used to Cultivate up to the Star Lord Realm, it can quickly improve the overall strength of your civilization. That's what our Buren Civilization did back then."
Xiao Weiqing was delighted. "I understand, thanks."
"Don't mention it. I'm off."
After Ji Yu left.
Xiao Weiqing went up to the sixth floor; only Soul Cultivation Techniques were stored here.
Although there were also Soul Cultivation Techniques in the azure dragon divine stele, Xiao Weiqing didn't want to bind the Blue Star Civilization to the power his teacher belonged to.
No one knew if they would encounter unknown enemies in the future who would drag Blue Star into their conflicts.
Struggles in the Universe weren't like the minor squabbles with the Yao Race represented by the Blood Moon Star Lord. A single strike from a powerful expert, and Blue Star would likely cease to exist.
Therefore, it was better to prepare for a rainy day early on.
