"Ah!" Han Xu shouted. The starlight on his fingertips immediately disappeared, and the true qi he had gathered dissipated. Now, he only felt a burning pain in his hand, as if his skin was being torn apart.
"Uncle Huang, what's going on?" Han Xu hurriedly asked.
"You don't have to panic. Focus on your dantian first and let the turbid zhenqi stabilize. The burning on your hand will gradually improve.”Uncle Huang reminded.
Han Xu hurriedly stabilized his true qi back into his dantian, but he immediately felt that the true essence he had just recovered seemed to have been consumed by more than half, and the qi in his dantian felt empty.
"Uncle Huang, why do I feel that my primeval essence consumption is so huge?”
"Don't worry, this is normal. The power of the Twenty-Eight Celestial Light Technique depends on the twenty-eight constellations in the sky. To master and use them skillfully is naturally not something that can be done in a short period of time. Let's call it a day. You should rest well first and recuperate your true essence before continuing to cultivate!”
Han Xu watched as the three of them returned to their respective rooms. He felt a sense of disappointment. He had thought that he could master this technique, but he did not expect it to be so difficult. Han Xu looked at the sky with melancholy. The stars in the sky kept flickering, as if they were playing with him. He felt a wave of distress in his heart. He knew that the road ahead would still be difficult.
Time passed day by day and in the blink of an eye, two months had already passed. Han Xu still did not seem to have grasped the trick of the Twenty-Eight Celestial Light Technique very well. He could only execute the spells two or three times a day at most before feeling his primeval essence depleting. " Lonely Glow Meteor " would always die before it could be launched, and " Shifting Stars " was even more so. It had only moved a few steps before the true essence in its body was overdrawn.
Uncle Huang and the other two saw that Han Xu did not improve much, but they were not anxious at all. Perhaps they did not want Han Xu to leave early. However, Han Xu was eager to go home. Too many questions and concerns forced him to practice harder. Han Xu did not feel disappointed after failing again and again. Instead, he became more and more courageous.
One night, the night was as cold as water. The bright moon hung in the sky, and the stars in the sky were still flickering with a mysterious light. A trace of mystery enveloped the entire peak of the Snow Region. Han Xu was already prepared in the open space in front of the thatched cottage. When the starlight appeared, he seized the time to practice his secret technique.
"The vast celestial light, the meandering horned flood dragon, as fierce as an overbearing dragon, the dual splendor reflecting each other-Lonely Light Meteor!”
Han Xu's incantation sounded leisurely in the empty snow. A ball of faint starlight slowly accumulated on his fingertips. Han Xu tried his best to control the flow of true essence in his body. After two months of practice, although he still did not successfully use the Lonely Meteor, his control of true essence was becoming more and more proficient.
Han Xu seized the opportunity and pushed out his vital essence from his fingertips. The starlight shot out from his fingertips. Han Xu was secretly delighted, thinking that he had firmly controlled his primeval essence. However, the starlight didn't shoot far before it fell and slowly landed on the snow, melting into a puddle of snow.
Han Xu did not give up. He tried a few more times with all his primeval essence, but the starlight was always useless. He did not succeed even once. Just as Han Xu was feeling a little discouraged, Ah Ling silently appeared behind him.
"What's wrong, Little Xu? You still haven't succeeded?”
"Granny Ah Ling, I really did my best, but when the starlight shot out, I couldn't control it anymore…Don't tell me I don't have the talent to learn this dao art?”
"Yes, sometimes, doing too much is not necessarily a good thing. Many profound and mysterious secret techniques naturally have their own mysteries. If you keep forcing yourself blindly like this, things will go against each other when they reach an extreme. Why don't you calm down now and think about how you should cultivate? Perhaps it might be of some unexpected help to you.”
After hearing Ah Ling's words, Han Xu's heart was filled with grief. He also felt that he was too stubborn, to the point that he had completely ignored the mysteries of this secret technique. Since this secret technique was called the Twenty-Eight Celestial Light Technique, it was naturally inseparable from the celestial light in the sky. Han Xu looked up at the starry sky. The stars were still resplendent, as if pairs of beautiful eyes were telling moving stories.
The night was peaceful and quiet. Haoyue was not stingy with her radiance, so the starlight around her did not seem so dazzling. However, the stars in the sky could not stand the loneliness. They emitted a faint light together, changing one after another in the dark night, competing with the moon for beauty.
The sky was filled with stars. Han Xu couldn't tell which ones were the 28 stars that Uncle Huang had mentioned, which were the 28 constellations. However, the faint mystery of the stars made him fascinated. Han Xu looked at the mysterious starlight with appreciation. He felt relieved and awakened. Perhaps the stars in the sky were like him. They always wanted to shine in the eyes of others, but only by relying on each other could they shine sporadically.
Seeing that Han Xu was in a daze, Ah Ling did not say anything to disturb him. Han Xu looked at the stars in the sky and felt a faint throb. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. The array of stars gradually became clear and profound in his mind. The light of the twenty-eight stars in the four directions became more and more obvious, reflecting the bright moon in the middle. The seven constellations in the east were lined up like a long, winding dragon. The seven constellations in the south spread out from the middle like eagles flapping their wings. The seven constellations in the west were arranged in a V-shape like majestic tigers. The seven constellations in the north were arranged like nebulas, like an indestructible black turtle.
Han Xu looked at the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions in the eastern horizon and a strange thought arose in his heart. He mobilized the only true essence in his body and said embarrassedly,"The vast Celestial Light, the meandering Horned Flood Dragon, as fierce as an Ascending Dragon, its two splendor reflecting each other.”As soon as he finished speaking, the first two constellations of the Eastern Azure Dragon's seven constellations faintly emitted a faint light, covering the light of the other five stars. Han Xu had the mentality of giving it a try. He pointed with his index finger and uttered the words "Lonely Meteor". Immediately, a dazzling star radiance burst out from his fingertip and struck the snow on the opposite side. Although the snow had only cracked a small hole, this new breakthrough made Han Xu extremely surprised.
"Granny Ling, I've succeeded! I…"
Before Han Xu could finish speaking, he felt his body go limp and he fainted due to the exhaustion of his true essence. Ah Ling moved her body and caught the fallen Han Xu. Looking at Han Xu's tired but smiling face, Ah Ling said with satisfaction,""As expected of Master and Madam's child. You're talented and intelligent. It's only a waste for us to keep you alive. It seems that it's time to teach you the other two styles!”
After that night of stargazing, Han Xu had already grasped the mystery of using the power of the constellations to cast spells. Now, he was also very familiar with it. Lonely Meteor and Stellar Transposition were already clear in his mind. It was just that the power was still very weak, but this already made Han Xu extremely happy.
Two months later, when Han Xu had completely mastered the Lonely Meteor and the Stellar Transposition, Ah Ling began to teach him the second stage of the spell, the "Full Stars" and "Three Stars Alignment".
The " Star Gauze " relied on the power of the Vermilion Bird of the south, Jing, Gui, and Liu Sanxing to form a triangular killing formation. It attacked from three directions at the same time, making it impossible for the opponent to guard against it. The well belonged to An, the ghost belonged to Yang, and the willow belonged to Water Deer. Their wild nature and the gathering nature of the three could unleash powerful attacks.
"Three Stars Alignment" relied on the power of the three stars of the Northern Black Tortoise's Seven Constellations, Dou, Niu, and Nu. The three stars were connected into a string and mercilessly trapped the enemy in the formation. All Daoist spells within the range of the three stars would be ineffective. Dou belonged to Pi, Ox belonged to Ox, and Woman belonged to Bat. The righteousness of Pi, the persistence of Bat, and the perseverance of Ox made all the evil spirits unable to hide.
After Ah Ling finished her explanation, she also showed Han Xu her skills. The first was the Three Stars Alignment. Han Xu saw a burst of green light burst out from Ah Ling's body. The green light gradually shrank into three dazzling spots of light. Ah Ling's arm pulled, and the three spots of light connected into a string, enveloping Han Xu within. No matter how Han Xu executed the Seven Stars Dipper Steps, he could not escape the range of the three stars. Following that, Ah Ling formed a triangle with her hands in front of her chest and chanted the incantation " Scattered Stars ". Dazzling starlight suddenly appeared on the top three of the triangle. She slowly pushed forward, and the three stars immediately surrounded Han Xu after spinning once. Ah Ling changed her hand seal, and the three stars whistled and attacked Han Xu at the same time. Han Xu was trapped in the Three Stars Alignment and could not dodge. He could only watch the three stars smash at him. However, when the starlight happened to touch the Three Stars Alignment, After the two lights collided, a strong explosion sounded, but Han Xu was safe and sound.
"This Three Stars Alignment can not only trap the enemy, but it can also defend against external damage.”Ah Ling instructed Han Xu after removing the spell.
"Yes!" Han Xu nodded and began to practice according to the chant that Ah Ling had taught him.
Two months later, Han Xu had also mastered the Star Gauze and the Three Stars Alignment. Naturally, he could not wait to drag Ah Qiang along to teach him the third style of the Four Attacks and Four Defenses, the "Starfall" and the "Starfire Sky Array".
Ah Qiang saw that Han Xu was in high spirits and naturally did not refuse. He taught him both the third moves. "This third move is no longer as easy as what Big Brother and Second Sister taught you. You have to control two constellations at the same time, a total of four stars." This 'Starfall' used the two stars of the Azure Dragon's Seven Constellations, Di and Fang, as well as the two stars of the Vermillion Bird's Seven Constellations, Zhang and Xing. The power of the four stars erupted at the same time, like the Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon dancing together. Di was a raccoon dog, Fang was a rabbit, Xing was a horse, and Zhang was a deer. Their rapid attacks and unpredictable attacks caught the enemy off guard.‘Sparks to the Sky Formation used the power of the stomach and Pleiades of the White Tiger's Seven Constellations and the Void and Danger Stars of the Black Tortoise's Seven Constellations. The four stars formed a powerful restriction barrier. Flames soared into the sky and there was no way to escape. Stomach was a pheasant, Pleiades was a chicken, Xu was a rat, and Wei was a swallow. The defense of the ground and the sky was impenetrable, and the flames were as numerous as feathers, making the trapped people in a dilemma.”
After saying that, Ah Qiang did not show it to Han Xu and let him ponder on it himself. Although Han Xu was a little disappointed, this only strengthened the direction of his efforts.
The incantations of "Starfall" and "Starfire Sky Formation" were long and complicated, much more complicated than the previous two. However, Han Xu did not give up, even if his own true essence was extremely lacking. Therefore, he recited the long and complicated incantations every day, and at the same time stored up the empty true essence.
