Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

The night fell like velvet, and Xinghui Pass was illuminated by the starry sky, making it look like a dream. Lin Fan and Jiang Shuiling stood in an open space, surrounded by the spiritual power nodes they had carefully arranged. There was a crystal stone at each node, flickering with a faint light, as if pulsating like breathing. The altar was located in the center of the open space, ancient and solemn, and engraved with runes unique to Xinghui State. These runes flowed with a faint light, as if telling a thousand-year-old secret.

Lin Fan slowly placed the Star Fan in his hand on the altar. Jiang Shuiling stood beside him with a solemn look. The moment the Star Fan touched the altar, it seemed to resonate with the ancient runes. The starlight on the fan flickered and gradually connected with the light of the runes, forming a mysterious picture.

"Senior Sister Jiang, let's get started." Lin Fan's voice was particularly clear in the silent night, revealing a bit of solemnity and expectation. He took a deep breath, raised his hands slightly, and a warm spiritual light emanated from his palms, flowing out from his palms like spring water, slowly pouring into the Star Fan.

Jiang Shuiling also raised her hands, and a cool spiritual power condensed in her palms. Her spiritual power merged with Lin Fan's spiritual power, like two winding rivers meeting each other, and gradually merged into the Star Fan. Under the stimulation of the spiritual power of the two, the star pattern on the fan became clearer, and a vast and profound power gradually awakened from it. The fan surface vibrated slightly, making a low humming sound.

The runes on the altar began to flicker with the infusion of spiritual power. The runes seemed to be awakened, gradually changing from static to flowing. The starlight flowed between the runes and finally gathered into a star map in the sky.

A dazzling starlight shot out from the star fan and reflected in the sky, forming a complex and magnificent star map. The star map depicted different areas of Xinghuizhou, with twinkling stars marking several particularly conspicuous places. Each place exuded a strong spiritual power fluctuation, as if inviting them.

"This is..." Jiang Shuiling stared at the star map in front of her eyes with wide eyes. She felt the power contained in those marked places, and countless conjectures emerged in her mind.

Lin Fan was also shocked by the scene before him. He stared at the star map with a bit of excitement and deep thought in his eyes: "This seems to be a map of Xinghui Province, with several important places marked. Maybe there are more secrets about the power of Xinghui Province hidden there."

Zhong Ling'er, Jin Bu Ke, and Ye Wuhen also rushed over, standing around the altar, looking up at the star map in the sky. Zhong Ling'er frowned and carefully studied the twinkling stars: "Look at these marks... Every place seems to hide some kind of power, perhaps it is directly related to the star power of Xinghuizhou."

Jin Buk stared at one of the marks, holding a long sword in his hand, his eyes filled with the flames of battle: "Perhaps there are some powerful guardians or restrictions hidden in these places, but no matter what, we must find out. Only by becoming stronger can we deal with future enemies."

Ye Wuhen seemed to be in deep thought, and pointed to a certain direction on the star map: "I feel that the spiritual power fluctuations here are the strongest, maybe we can start from here. This area is closest to us, and there may be some clues."

Lin Fan looked at everyone and said with a firm gaze: "In this case, let's follow the guidance of this star map and explore these places of power. The secrets of Xinghuizhou may be of great help to us."

After a brief discussion, the team decided to follow the guidance of the star map and explore the marked locations. They knew that each marked location might hide unexpected dangers, but it might also hide powerful opportunities, which was an opportunity they must seize.

Inside Xinghui Pass, an abandoned ancient post station became their temporary base. In this post station, they took a short break and prepared for the next exploration. In the dead of night, the light of the stars fell on this ancient land, as if a layer of dreamy gauze covered every corner.

Lin Fan sat cross-legged in the house, closed his eyes and meditated, the spiritual power in his body slowly flowing under his guidance. From time to time, his mind appeared the vast starlight of the Star Fan and the huge star map in the sky. The secret of Xinghuizhou seemed to be inseparable from the stars in the sky, and this connection was the source of their power.

"Lin Fan." Jiang Shuiling's voice came from outside the door, waking him up from his meditation. Lin Fan opened his eyes and saw Jiang Shuiling standing by the door, holding the Star Fan in her hand, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

"Senior Sister Jiang, what's wrong?" Lin Fan stood up and walked in front of her.

Jiang Shuiling gently handed him the Star Fan and whispered, "I always feel that this fan seems to be conveying something. Its power is more than just guiding the star map. We must be careful, there may be more complicated secrets hidden behind it."

Lin Fan took the Star Fan and gently brushed his fingers across the fan, feeling the deep power. He nodded, his eyes becoming more determined: "No matter what awaits us ahead, we will face it together. We will definitely uncover the secrets of Xinghui State."

The next morning, the five of them were ready to go, and they looked into the distance from the Xinghui Pass wall. According to the guidance of the star map, they chose the nearest marked place, which was located in the northeast of Xinghui Province, not too far from Xinghui Pass. The area was filled with rich star power, as if there was a mysterious relic hidden in the clouds.

Along the way, they passed through rolling hills and deep woodlands, and the scenery ahead gradually became strange. The mountains were filled with a strong spiritual energy, and the air seemed to carry a hint of the coolness of starlight. As they walked, they could faintly feel the power similar to that of the Star Fan calling them.

Soon, they arrived in front of a valley. The valley was filled with spiritual energy, and in the center stood a huge stone gate with star runes carved on it, just like the altar at Xinghui Pass. In front of the stone gate were densely packed spiritual nodes, like a series of prohibitions, guarding the stone gate firmly.

"It seems that this is the place we are looking for." Jin Buke held the long sword in his hand and stared sharply at the spiritual power node in front of the stone gate. "These restrictions do not seem to be simple. We must be careful."

Zhong Ling'er walked forward and carefully observed those spiritual power nodes, frowning: "These restrictions are set by the power of the stars, and it is not easy to unlock them. You need to use the power of the star fan and match it with a specific spiritual power frequency to remove them."

"Then let's give it a try." Lin Fan nodded and unfolded the Star Fan. The starlight flowed on the fan, echoing with the runes on the stone door. He took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and spiritual power flowed into the Star Fan like a galaxy. The fan suddenly shone brightly, and a beam of starlight shot out, rushing straight into the center of the stone door.

Under the illumination of the starlight, the runes on the stone gate gradually lit up, and the spiritual nodes around it were activated, flashing with strong light. The connections between the spiritual nodes were like chains of starlight, surrounding the entire stone gate, forming a magnificent picture.

"Senior Sister Jiang, give me a hand." Lin Fan said to Jiang Shuiling beside him. Jiang Shuiling nodded, raised her hands slightly, and poured her spiritual power into the Star Fan like a trickle. The two spiritual powers intersected, the starlight became more dazzling, and the stone door began to vibrate slowly, making a low humming sound.

Ye Wuhen stood aside, watching the changes in the stone gate intently. He keenly noticed that the spiritual power fluctuations behind the stone gate were gradually increasing, as if something was awakening. "Be careful! There may be a protective power inside!" he warned.

Sure enough, as the stone door opened, a strong spiritual pressure rushed from inside the door, as if the weight of thousands of stars was pressing on everyone at the same time. Lin Fan's eyes focused, and the Qiankun Axe appeared in his hand. The spiritual power was instantly stimulated, forming a shield to block them.

The stone door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside. It was a space with twinkling stars, as if it was a starry world independent of the human world, with starlight like mist, filling the surroundings. A huge stone statue stood in the center of the space, holding a star fan, with its eyes downcast, as if staring at the visitors.

"Is this... the ancient guardian of Xinghui Province?" Zhong Ling'er whispered, with a hint of awe in her tone.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and walked into the starry space. Jiang Shuiling followed closely behind him, and the others followed. When they approached the stone statue, it suddenly moved. It slowly raised its head, and the starlight in its eyes shone brightly, as if it was looking at everyone.

"Who are you? How dare you set foot in the land of stars!" The stone statue made a low voice, which seemed to come from ancient times, shocking people.

Lin Fan took a step forward and clasped his hands together: "I am the junior Lin Fan, and I have come with my companions to seek the power of Xinghui Province. Please give me some advice, senior." His tone was humble, but his eyes were firm.

The stone statue was silent for a moment, as if considering Lin Fan's words. Then it slowly spoke: "The power of starlight is not something that ordinary people can covet. If you want to obtain it, you must pass the test of this guardian."

Hearing this, Lin Fan nodded without hesitation: "We are willing to accept the trial."
