It was a cluster of narcissus flowers, huge, about a zhang tall. Within several zhang, its leaves were everywhere, and in the center grew nine washbasin-sized flowers.
It grew in the center of the Immortal Pool, with petals and leaves covered in specks of starlight, like billions of stars twinkling.
The twinkling starlight illuminated the entire cave like a vast starry sky, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Treasure."
When Long Chen saw this narcissus, his eyes nearly popped out of excitement. The Qiankun Cauldron had long said that there is a rare plant in the Nine Heavens called the Heavenly Star Narcissus, a rare species of heaven and earth, possessing the power of the stars. It is the treasure that the Nine Star successors dream of.
For so many years, Long Chen had been searching, but even Huayun Trading Company had never heard of this name, let alone seen it.
Now, seeing it and feeling its vast star power, Long Chen immediately knew it was the Heavenly Star Narcissus mentioned by the Qiankun Cauldron.
"Boom boom boom!"
At that moment, loud crashes came from behind Long Chen, and figures sped through the waterfall.
So many people entered at once, some wielding divine weapons, radiating murderous intent. When Long Chen saw their weapons, his expression changed dramatically.
At this moment, he noticed that the starlight around the Celestial Star Narcissus was rapidly dimming and began to wither quickly.
"Not good."
Long Chen saw this scene and was so frightened his face turned green. The weapons in the hands of these fools carried a murderous intent that crashed into the spirit plant, causing it to wither and enter a dormant state.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen flickered and appeared above the Heavenly Star Narcissus, with a starry sky behind him, divine radiance enveloping the entire plant.
When Long Chen's star power erupted, the Heavenly Star Narcissus trembled slightly. It actually sensed an affinity toward Long Chen's star power, and its courage gradually grew.
The Heavenly Star Narcissus is a companion spiritual strain that every Nine Star successor dreams of. With it, their cultivation can be twice as effective with half the effort.
The Celestial Star Narcissus seemed to have been born for the Nine Star successors. They hated all living beings, but felt a special affinity for the star power of the Nine Star successors.
"Kill him and seize this rare treasure."
Seeing this scene, the group's eyes instantly turned red. A tall, thin man holding a compass clearly found this place through it. He roared and charged at Long Chen.
This person, relying on the compass in his hand, discovered that there was a treasure here. Clearly, he didn't recognize the Heavenly Star Narcissus, nor did he know that aside from Long Chen, no one else could obtain it.
If Long Chen hadn't stabilized it with the power of the stars, it would have withered long ago, eventually turning into a seed that tore through the air. When it found a suitable place, it would take root and sprout again.
"Get out of my way! You've ruined my plans. None of you will survive."
Seeing these people causing trouble, Long Chen roared angrily, his voice like wild thunder, shaking the entire cave into a buzzing sound.
However, with Long Chen's furious roar, the Heavenly Star Narcissus beneath him was instantly frightened and began to wither again. Frightened, Long Chen quickly channeled his star power to comfort it.
The Celestial Star Narcissus is extremely timid. If you let it wither, it will be troublesome. Once it becomes a seed, it triggers the star formation and will break through the void and leave. It has the ability to break through the world's barriers; within the nine heavens, there is nowhere it cannot go. Finding it again is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Long Chen's furious roar made their eardrums ring, blood flowing from their ears. They were stunned by his furious roar.
This was a group of human powerhouses. Judging by their attire, they belonged to the same sect. There weren't many of them, only a few hundred thousand. I wondered if they were from a single branch, but there were always so many of them.
"There are so many of us, he's the only one. Let's attack together and kill him!"
The man holding the compass shouted, simultaneously sheathing his compass and wielding his sharp sword, sending a sword aura down.
"Damn,"
Long Chen was furious, but he had to suppress the murderous intent in his heart, or else he would scare the Celestial Star Narcissus.
"Boom!"
The man's sword energy struck Long Chen's starry sky barrier, producing a loud explosion. The sword energy shattered with a thunderous crash, but Long Chen's star barrier also trembled.
"He doesn't dare fight back. Let's fight together."
The man was shocked to see Long Chen shatter his sword energy using just the barrier, but soon discovered Long Chen's weakness.
Seeing that Long Chen could not fight back, these powerful figures struck simultaneously, sending out beams of divine light that bombarded Long Chen relentlessly.
"You bunch of little bastards, just you wait."
Long Chen was so angry his face turned green, but he couldn't fight back, let alone harbor murderous intent. Still, with so many people attacking madly, the consumption of his star power was enormous.
What troubled Long Chen most was that he could only use the power of the stars now. If he used other powers, it would scare the Celestial Star Narcissus, and all his efforts would be wasted.
"Boom boom boom...
Endless attacks landed on the star barrier. Long Chen's barrier quickly shifted from dazzling to dim, clearly consuming it at an astonishing rate.
Seeing this, these people thought Long Chen's power would soon be completely exhausted, and once the star barrier shattered, it would be time to kill him.
Long Chen's hands trembled. As his star power rapidly drained, he used his soul to communicate with the Heavenly Star Narcissus, hoping to gain its trust. Only by gaining its trust could he move it into the chaotic space.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, Long Chen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The power of the stars was about to be completely depleted, forcing him to burn the power of purple blood to sustain it.
Purple blood power is the only one that can briefly burn to provide energy for the power of the stars, but wielding it also requires great risk. If the Celestial Star Narcissus senses something is wrong, she will immediately flee.
Fortunately, the Celestial Star Narcissus did not react much to the purple blood power. Seeing this, Long Chen was overjoyed and immediately began burning the purple blood power to maintain the star barrier.
However, among the attacks of these hundreds of thousands of powerful fighters, a small portion were sealed off. The power of so many people had consumed Long Chen terribly.
Fortunately, only a dozen or so people here had condensed a strand of Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi, so Long Chen could barely hold on. If there were only a few dozen, Long Chen would be completely finished.
"Boom boom boom...
Seeing Long Chen start burning his essence blood, these people were both shocked and furious. Only then did they realize that Long Chen's strength exceeded their imagination.
But now they were caught in a dilemma. Since they had made a move, it was either you die or I lived, and they began to attack even more frenziedly.
Just as Long Chen's purple blood power was about to run out, finally, the Celestial Star Narcissus was completeHis body glowed as he floated up from the pool.
"Whew."
Long Chen was overjoyed at the sight. The power of the stars flowed, and he sent it directly into the chaotic space.
When Tianxing Narcissus was stored in the chaotic space, Long Chen's sword-like brows shot up, murderous intent soaring. With a wave of his hand, the Dragon Bone Evil Moon was in his hand.
"All of you, go to hell!"
Long Chen roared, and the Evil Moon of Dragonbone streaked across the sky, a black crescent slashed out.
