Chapter 245: Falling Star Ceremony
In the desolate and dark universe, a divine iron star core with a diameter of nearly 100 miles is flying towards the ancient star Beidou at an incredible speed.

Along the way, they passed through one small galaxy after another, and finally broke through numerous obstacles and arrived at the outer space of the ancient Beidou star.

However, after being captured by the huge gravitational force of the ancient Beidou star, it did not fall directly to the land of Beidou.

Instead, it turned into an asteroid and flew at high speed around the ancient star Beidou outside the domain.

At the same time, in the land of Zhongzhou, Luo Xingchen, the super genius of the Star Sect and also the previous Star Saint, finally became a king not long ago after practicing for five hundred years. As soon as he practiced the Star Sect, his cultivation level skyrocketed to the second level of the king. At the same time, he also practiced the ancient magical power of the Star-Picking Hand to the small success level.

Xiaocheng's Star-Picking Hand allows the king to stand on the ground and directly pick asteroids from the outer space.

The old leader of the original Xingchen Sect was unable to achieve the Dao of Destruction, so after Luo Xingchen came out of seclusion, he passed the position of leader to him.

Luo Xingchen has officially become one of the successful people in this great trend of replacement of the old with the new.

As the world recovers, there is no longer any stopping the cultivators from cutting through the Dao.

In various regions of Beidou, the geniuses who were stuck in the 29th level of the Immortal Realm began to cut off their paths one after another.

Some of them failed, some succeeded, but the group with the highest probability of success were the former saints and saints who had retired from the major sects.

The saints and saintesses of all religions in the world are replaced in a cycle of almost 500 years.

Those monks who have resigned from the position of Saint Son or Saint Daughter have become one of the candidates for the leader of the religion. When the old leader abdicates or dies unexpectedly, the new leader will be selected from the Saint Sons or Saint Daughters of each period.

Luo Xingchen was the Holy Son of the Star Religion five hundred years ago. His talent back then was no worse than that of the Holy Son of the Star Religion today.

Except for those monks with special physiques, his qualifications are among the best among the human race.

Three hundred years ago, he had raised his cultivation to the 29th level of the Immortal Realm. After failing to achieve the Dao of Awakening, he focused his energy on the difficult-to-learn supreme ancient method of picking stars.

The Star-Picking Hand, this ancient magical power, was not created by the founder of the Star Sect, but was an ancient method left by a great emperor of the human race. Many major forces in the five regions of the world have collected it.

However, there have been very few monks who can truly master this ancient method since ancient times.

Cultivators who have achieved minor success in their cultivation are even rarer.

After Luo Xingchen's sword was cut, he relied on his slightly accomplished Star-Picking Hand to defeat the joint attack of ten living fossils over two thousand years old from the Xingchen Sect with one palm.

As a result, he won the unanimous support of the entire Star Sect and successfully took over the power of the Star Sect.

After taking over the power of the Star Sect, Luo Xingchen did not publicize it to the outside world, but instead prepared to hold a star-falling ceremony.

Ever since the last leader of the Star Sect who possessed the cultivation of a king passed away six thousand years ago, the Star Sect has not held the Falling Star Ceremony for six thousand years.

It’s not that the Star Cult has no king in the past six thousand years, but that the Falling Star Ceremony can only be performed by the leader of the cult.

There are countless dragon veins in the land of Zhongzhou. The Pure Land of the Star Sect is located on a dragon vein that sparkles with mysterious starlight. Unlike most of the other schools of thought and religions, the Star Sect did not build an immortal city to nurture the dragon veins and evolve the Pure Land.

The entire sect was built around a vast star lake and an ancient observatory.

The Ancient Observatory is a treasure that the founder of the sect dug out from an ancient quasi-emperor Taoist temple. It is engraved with mysterious Taoist patterns that reach the sky. Standing on the platform, one can see the extremely vast and profound starry sky.

The Star Lake that is associated with the Observatory actually has a name within the Star Cult called "Falling Star Abyss".

The Falling Star Abyss was formed when the founder of the sect mastered the supreme ancient method of "Picking Stars" and plucked a star from the starry sky and smashed it on the earth, forming the abyss.

Later, rivers flowed back and gradually filled up Luoxing Abyss, thus turning it into a star lake.

When the founder of the Star Sect cultivated the Star-Picking Hand to the great realm, he was eager to try its power. Through the ancient observatory, he discovered a star full of mysterious Taoism deep in the starry sky.

When the ancestor brought the mysterious star back from the depths of the outer space, an accident occurred when he was near the ancient star of Beidou. A mysterious force suddenly appeared and directly shattered the star. The shattered star fragments fell on the earth, forming a terrifying abyss that was a hundred miles deep.

That is the predecessor of Luoxingyuan.

Moreover, the founder of the Star Religion collected those star fragments and used them to refine them into the religion's legendary holy weapon - the Fallen Stars.

The Fallen Star is not only a holy weapon handed down from generation to generation, but also a super heavy weapon. Even for a king, it would be very difficult to use it.

Only masters at the saint level can truly control that holy weapon passed down from generation to generation.

Normally, fallen stars are placed in the deepest part of the Star Lake (Falling Star Abyss). Although they cannot be used by cultivators below the level of Saints, they have a special ability that can draw power from stars outside the domain.

Later, the successors of the Cult of the Star developed a star-falling ritual based on this ability.

It is possible to use up the tremendous star power that Luo Xingchen has accumulated to pull in some asteroids rich in special substances from outside the domain.

However, in order to hold this ceremony, the master's cultivation must be above the king level.

The Star Religion has also pulled many asteroids rich in divine materials from the outer space for the Falling Star Ceremony since ancient times, making them one of the richest forces among all the schools of thought.

Almost all the masters in history who had cultivation levels above the king level would hold a star-falling ceremony on the ancient observatory after they inherited the position of leader.

Luo Xingchen was no exception. At the same time, he cultivated the Star-Picking Hand to the minor success realm, which increased his confidence. He was sure that he could use the power of fallen stars to attract a truly divine star with great fortune from the depths of the outer space.

Just like the ancestors did back then, they will guide the stars that truly possess destiny.

For this purpose, he specially asked the eldest disciple of the divine fortune teller to calculate an excellent date for him to pick the stars.

With the arrival of the Falling Star Day, everyone in the Star Sect is looking forward to it.

On the ancient observatory, Luo Xingchen, wearing a star robe and holding a seven-star magic sword in his hand, was holding a ceremony before the falling star under the protection of more than a dozen powerful elders.

It is not an easy task to unlock the star essence that has been accumulated in the fallen stars for thousands of years.

It requires a complete set of techniques to cooperate.

Luo Xingchen cast mysterious runes one by one into a mysterious metal ball with a diameter of only more than ten miles at the bottom of the Falling Star Abyss. That mysterious metal ball was the Falling Star, the legendary holy weapon of the Star Religion.

After the fallen star was activated, the star's essence gradually began to escape from its interior.

The originally calm lake surface began to boil, and countless disciples of the Star Sect showed excitement after seeing this scene.

After thousands of years, they saw the Falling Star Ceremony again, and they were all looking forward to what they could bring from the outer space this time.

In the past, during the Falling Star Ceremony, he not only received the Star God Iron, but also the Holy Weapon Fragments. He even received a scripture from the God Source that was sealed in a meteorite 50,000 years ago.

At the very least, it can attract some refining materials from outside the domain.

"Brother, the headmaster has practiced the Star-Picking Hand. What kind of treasure can he bring this time?"

"Junior sister, when the falling stars begin, you stand behind me and let me protect your safety."

"I am really looking forward to being able to receive the living creatures sealed in the stars during this Star-Falling Ceremony. The founder speculated that the star that was shattered by the mysterious force was actually shattered by the power that escaped from the Life Forbidden Zone. It should be that the power of good fortune was sensed from the mysterious star. After the real good fortune was taken away, the remaining fragments were priceless and were refined into holy weapons that were passed down from generation to generation."

"Brother Luo has great power and can look across the world. He must be able to pick up some real treasures from the depths of the outer space."

……

The disciples of the Star Sect surrounding the Star Lake were all discussing this matter, hoping that Master Luo could pick up the real treasures from outside the domain.

Gradually, as the Falling Star Ceremony progressed to the later stages, a mysterious star shadow with a diameter of more than a hundred miles, formed entirely of star essence, flew out from the Star Lake.

The previous star-falling ceremony had lost control at this point, and the star was allowed to rise into the sky. As for what kind of items could be brought from the outer sky, it was left to fate.

This time, the falling star ceremony was different. Luo Xingchen had mastered the Star Picking Hand, and flew directly from the observatory, sinking into the star shadow composed of the star essence. Afterwards, the star shadow began to shrink rapidly, turning into a palm with a wrist.

"Pick!"

Following Luo Xingchen's loud shout, the giant star hand that was a hundred miles in size turned into a stream of light and flew towards the outer starry sky.

In the blink of an eye, it flew out of the Big Dipper world and entered the outer space.

The Falling Star Ceremony made quite a noise, and was seen by powerful figures from many forces in Zhongzhou.

Then they all headed towards the Star Religion.

After each Falling Star Ceremony, many people would come to visit the Star Sect, just to get a glimpse of the treasures that fell from the outer space.

Seeing the starry hand flying out of the domain, Luo Xingchen's eyes showed a hint of excitement.

When the best moment calculated by the divine fortune teller's eldest disciple arrived, Luo Xingchen immediately activated his profound skills and suddenly retracted the big hand that had flown out of the domain.

Then, based on the inexplicable connection between the Starlight Hand and the Starlight Hand, he felt that the Starlight Hand had grasped a mysterious star with a diameter of one hundred miles.

Judging from its weight, it must not be an ordinary rocky star.

Luo Xingchen mobilized all his magical power and pulled down with all his strength.

He attempted to pull the mysterious star from the outer space into the Falling Star Abyss.

"boom!"

Under the tearing of the giant hand of starlight, the mysterious star finally changed its previous trajectory and fell towards the land of Beidou.

After entering the thick atmosphere of the ancient star Beidou, the stars began to burn.

It was as if a golden sun fell from the sky.

The golden sun exuded a torrent of life energy that even made Luo Xingchen change color.

It's like a star made entirely of pure source.

According to ancient records, these stars, which are rich in life essence, often contain extremely precious treasures.

Luo Xingchen hurriedly shouted to the elders in the sect: "Notify all disciples to temporarily retreat a hundred miles outside the Xinghu Lake. All elders are to prepare to set up the star formation to deal with the impending crisis."

As the star emitting overwhelming life energy transformed into a golden sun and rapidly set, many cultivators in Zhongzhou saw this scene.

There were even many powerful people who sensed the vast life essence emanating from the golden sun.

In an instant, hundreds of masters above the level of great power rushed towards the Star Sect. Faced with this situation, they all wanted to get a piece of the pie.

The golden sun was burning rapidly.

The diameter is also shrinking rapidly.

When the sun was less than ten thousand miles away from the ground, its diameter was less than ten miles.

However, the concentration of life essence has increased by hundreds of times, as if it were a huge divine star with a diameter of ten miles.

At a height of thousands of miles, the divine consciousness of some kings can already capture it.

Feeling the vitality in the golden flames that seemed like the origin of life, everyone showed excitement.

Several powerful auras rose up into the sky from all around the Star Sect, and all of them stretched out their huge hands to grab the burning star.

"How dare you!" Luo Xingchen was furious and directly used his Star-Picking Hand towards the rays of light.

"Boom!" The divine light produced a violent collision in the void.

Even the powerful Star-Picking Hands couldn't do anything to those people.

"Haha, this is an ownerless object outside the domain. Only those who are destined to get it can get it. I hope Master Luo will not be angry." A mysterious king laughed after repelling Luo Xingchen's star-picking hand.

I saw the seven kings flying towards the burning star, and each of them used the Heaven-Covering Palm to try to change the falling trajectory of the burning star.

After all, things from outside the domain will have two completely different endings if they fall into the Star Sect or outside the Star Sect.

Nine thousand miles high in the sky, the golden star, which was less than ten miles in diameter, was imprisoned in the void by the kings with great magic power and could no longer fall.

Luo Xingchen, along with a group of masters from the Star Sect, soared into the sky and flew towards the star.

Luo Xingchen waved the Seven Star Sword in his hand, releasing star sword energy and slashing towards those kings.

As for the other powerful people of the Star Cult, they directly set up an array, forming a star map and heading towards the star that was imprisoned in the void.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

"Qiang!"

Faced with such a precious treasure from foreign land, no one could sit still, and a huge melee immediately broke out in the void.

In addition, people continue to come from all directions to join the battle for the mysterious star.

Soon, hundreds of powerful masters were involved in the war.

There are even more than ten strong men at the king level.

Moreover, there is a steady stream of powerful people coming out of the domain gate to join the battle for the mysterious star.

Just when they were fighting fiercely.

The mysterious golden star began to dim rapidly.

The vast amount of life energy that had previously dissipated was also rapidly dissipating, as if all of it had been sucked away by an unknown existence.

At the same time, a mysterious heartbeat sound was heard from inside the star.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Every beat seemed to cause the resonance of all the paths, the tremor of the void, and even cause the attacks of those kings who were fighting fiercely to deviate from their original directions.

"There are living things in the stars, everyone stop!"

A king from one of the top ten sects instantly shouted to everyone on the battlefield.

The originally fierce battle came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at the star that seemed to have a mysterious existence reviving inside.
