Chapter 1596: I Will Ignite the Star

Being able to come here and leave words on the stone tablet—these are all big shots who have amazed an entire era!
Although Chen Dao only said it lightly and casually, Jiangnan knew better than anyone how difficult it is to develop a spiritual technique from scratch!
The Chen family ancestor was also a path opener back then!
Jiangnan's scalp went numb, and a smile involuntarily curled at the corner of his mouth!
Ancestor, the spiritual gauze you developed has been completed, and many people are cultivating it!
Who knows how many lives it has saved!
If this ancestor knew about this, he would surely be gratified, right?
It's just that your descendants might be a bit underwhelming or something...
And Chen Dao was the last person to leave words in that era!
Going further down, there are knife-carved characters with iron strokes and silver hooks!
The handwriting is the same as the one who drew the innermost two circles of the curse formation!
Jiangnan took a look, let out a long breath—fortunately, the building didn't tilt!
This line of characters was left by Yu Shen, written in the ancient Aisinuo language. Jiangnan had learned it, so he recognized it at once!
It read:
"Following the wind of the predecessors, I came to the moon, not knowing victory or defeat, not knowing the path ahead! Ashamed before the sages!
The situation of Spirit Severance has risen! The chance of victory is slim, perhaps there is no more chance of victory! Here, I add more fuel to the flame for the spark!
If not defeated, I am willing to sacrifice my bones and blood, burn this body completely, to open a peaceful world for future generations! I hope future generations will ignite the star, and hereby vow!"
——Ji Yu

At this moment, everyone stared blankly at the words left by Yu Shen!
And this was also the last line of text on the stone tablet!
Jiangnan's fists were clenched tightly, his eyes slightly red!
Yu Shen... this was a person who gave everything for an era!
He really did it!
He created the Star Ring, paving the way for future generations, sat in the formation for a thousand years, condensed the Tears of Yu Shen as the drive source for the Star Ring!
Even when his flesh and blood dissipated, leaving only a skeleton, he never stopped!
He could have abandoned all this, gone to the vast starry sky, and had a bright future!
But Yu Shen didn't. He bet everything on future generations!
Jiangnan looked at the words left by Yu Shen on the stone tablet, not knowing what feeling welled up in his heart!
In a daze, it was as if he saw a person standing before the tablet, using the Godslayer Blade in his hand to carve this passage!
At this moment, Yu Shen probably hadn't yet broken through to above Dao Heaven, and the Godslayer War hadn't fully begun!
He didn't know if he could lead this era through, his heart full of confusion...
"You were not ashamed before the sages; you have done very well, really very well!"
Jiangnan whispered softly, his nose a bit sore!

Bai Kou couldn't hold back her tears any longer, sobbing, constantly wiping with the back of her hand, but could never wipe them clean!
(❅•́﹏ก̀❅)
So Yu Shen had already planned to burn himself out at this time?
Bai Kou choked up!
(ᵒ̴̶̷̥́﹏ก̀❅) "Wuu~ I came over too, and so many people came, did you see them?"
"Your preparations, your expectations were not in vain! This is the best era. We will definitely make it! Definitely!"
Perhaps Jiangnan could never understand Bai Kou's feelings at this moment!
Seeing the words left by a comrade from a thousand years ago, and that comrade is no longer in this world!
Only she remains alive, carrying Xiao Di's expectations, Yu Shen's entrustment, living through two eras!
Just to accomplish this one thing—igniting the star. For this, Bai Kou has paid too much!
Sometimes, the one who survives is the most painful, isn't it?
Jiangnan didn't try to console her, but let Bai Kou vent her emotions freely!

At this moment, even Ba Di and Zhang San looked solemnly at this blood-red monument!
The inheritance of the spark spanning three eras, the long river of history of more than three thousand years!
It began with Jiang Fan. Every era lord added more fuel to the spark, making it burn brighter!
It has been passed down until today!
What Jiangnan needs to do is to add the last handful of fuel, turning this spark into a blazing star that illuminates all living beings!
Ba Di swallowed his saliva, filled with awe!
"Nan... Nan Shen! Now that we've come too, you should write something on it, as a response to the expectations of the predecessors!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiangnan!
Having worked so hard for the counteroffensive, it was only fitting that Jiangnan be the one to write!
But Jiangnan shook his head!
"Let's not write for now. We haven't achieved anything yet, have we?"
"How could we have the face to leave words on the stone tablet?"
"Wait until we truly accomplish this task, truly ignite the moon, and let the light of origin shine on every human being!"
"Then we can come back to the stone tablet and write a stroke that belongs to our era!"
"Only then will we not fail the past! Not fail the future!"
As he spoke, Jiangnan bowed deeply before the stone tablet!
This man, who faced the falling meteor without changing expression and never retreated before ten thousand enemies, now bent his spine for this monument!
Because it was worth it!

At this moment, Jiangnan's eyes were firmer than ever before!
I will ignite the star!
Whoever blocks will die!
The spark passed down through three eras, the flame passed through three thousand years, one passed to another, this fire burned brighter and brighter!
Now it has been handed to me!
The spark must be ignited in this era—this is what I must do!
You watch! Just watch!

At this moment, everyone looked at Jiangnan's back. It even seemed a bit thin and bleak!
But it gave a feeling of infinite grandeur, as if it could already hold up a piece of the sky!
Xia Yao looked at Jiangnan, her eyes full of tenderness!
That's why he fascinates me so much!
Little Nan when he's serious is definitely the coolest!

Jiangnan, who had bowed, stood up again, a smile returning to his face!
(๑◔◡◔ิ) "This is a rare opportunity! The origin wind here is thick, and the bottleneck in our cultivation has been weakened too much!"
"Everyone, level up as many stars as you can! But don't aim too high. If you improve too much at once, the foundation you've built will loosen, and the gain won't be worth the loss!"
"Just do what you can!"
Everyone nodded and used the origin wind here to cultivate crazily!
Bai Kou was out of luck; she was already at Dao Heaven Ten Stars Peak!
What stood before her was the racial limit of humans, the locked door! Using origin energy to crush the door would take time!
The chance of breaking through to above Dao Heaven was slim!
But Mi Ye, who was at Dao Heaven Nine, still had a chance, and so did Ba Di!

While everyone was cultivating, Jiangnan wasn't idle either. He directly activated Soul Imprint!
He began to imprint the Ignite Star curse formation on the nine silver rings!
Although he didn't know when he would need it, the preciousness of such a curse formation was unimaginable. It was never wrong to memorize it!
At this moment, Jiangnan's eyes became emotionless, like a god, turning into a human camera!
He frantically imprinted around the Ignite Star curse formation, carving everything into his mind!
He even recorded the three circles that hadn't been engraved yet!
But the size and complexity of each circle had reached a staggering level!
Even if only three circles remained, it was still a massive engineering task!
If Jiangnan carved it himself, he wouldn't know how long it would take!
Let alone finishing it before dawn!
Presumably, Yu Shen and Qin Di also fumbled with it here for a long time, right?
Later, let the Bei family come to carve it. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of the Moon Eye first!

While imprinting, Jiangnan didn't slack off in cultivation either!
With another "boom," Jiangnan's level reached Diamond Eight Stars!
And he went straight to the peak!
It was almost as fast as a cow riding a rocket!
And his little whip was already at Diamond Ten Stars Peak!
At this moment, Jiangnan felt the bottleneck barrier!
And there was a vague sense of instability. He could still go up if he wanted!
But if he pushed further, his foundation would become unstable!
Still, charging from Diamond Five to Diamond Eight!
At the Diamond level, being able to level up like this showed how solid Jiangnan's foundation was!
But Greedy Jiang still angrily slapped his thigh!
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Tomcat's sake! Only three stars? How the hell is that enough?"
As soon as he said this, Zhang San beside him almost blew out his snot bubble from anger!
(´-﹏-`(ヾ)
Do you hear that? Is that human?
You're at the Diamond level, leveling up three stars in one go—what more do you want?
It took me a long time to get to Starlight recently, and leveling up one star takes a lot of effort!
Not only Jiangnan was abnormal, but his teammates were also abnormal one after another!

Just then, Greedy Jiang suddenly remembered the possibility Xia Yao had mentioned to him before!
Small Fire Jars can cut down stars, right?
If I take advantage of now to cut down a few more stars!
Then when I break through the major realm, I can charge back—Ehehe~
Thinking of this, Jiangnan's eyes suddenly lit up!
He quickly ran over to Xia Yao and took out a Small Fire Jar!
(๑・᷅ꇴ・᷄)ᓄ "Here! Pull my stars! Quick!"
Xia Yao was also startled, immediately understanding what Jiangnan meant. Little Nan, are you a genius or what?
So with a mischievous smile, she placed two Small Fire Jars on both sides of Jiangnan's chest!
Pretending to twist!
Startled, Jiangnan quickly covered his chest and teleported away!
(づᵒ̌⌂ᵒ̌ど) "You... where are you pulling?"
Xia Yao teased!
(•́.̫•̀) "I was afraid you wouldn't have any to use when you wanted them, so I'm giving you two!"
"Someone else's is never as good as your own, right?"
Jiangnan's face darkened: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "You're getting back at me, aren't you?"
She must be retaliating for the four he gave her before!
He's a grown man—how could he let her pull from his chest?
How weird would that look?

Xia Yao couldn't help but snicker: "Alright, alright, I won't tease you! Where do you want to pull?"
Jiangnan hesitated for a long time. After all, this was his first time using the Irresistible Small Fire Jar!
He was a bit nervous!
Finally, he gritted his teeth and came to Xia Yao, lifting his clothes to reveal his belly!
(•́﹏•̀٥) "J... just pull here!"
The eight sharp abdominal muscles immediately made Xia Yao's eyes widen!
Her little hand couldn't help but press on them and slide around, the corners of her mouth dripping with crystalline drool, occasionally letting out "Ehehe~ Ehehe~" giggles!
(ૢ۶⁼̴﹃⁼̴)۶
Jiangnan: (≖_≖)...
This frog with scheming heart has gone crazy again?
