The next day, in front of the astrological tower, Tan Zhou, dressed in a dark blue robe, stood on the steps, facing more than a dozen men and women wearing college uniforms, and solemnly explained and warned the precautions for entering the astrological tower.

Blue Mercury's astrological tower is open to everyone at the beginning of each month, charging 1,000 star coins, and no more than eighteen star cultivators can enter each time, and it is open to students of Blue College for free in the middle of each month, which is a privilege belonging to Blue College, after all, this is the star cultivation center of the whole star. However, it is limited to one entry per person per month, and there is a standard fee for re-entry. At the end of each month, the tower will be closed, allowing the tower to automatically regenerate its star power.

Ye Xing, who was standing at the end of the line, did not listen to the words that he had heard dozens of times and could be recited backwards, but looked at the astrological tower eagerly, eager to rush in immediately. His hands were clenched, his palms were sweaty, and his heart was full of anticipation and nervousness.

Breaking through to the second level of perception made Ye Xing full of confidence, but when he thought of the boundless dark star tomb, he was a little worried. What if I still can't find the Star this time? The path of star cultivation hasn't started yet, is it about to come to an end?

Just when Ye Xing was thinking wildly, a voice suddenly came from the side: "You are Ye Xing?" Ye Xing came back to his senses, looked up and saw a young man with slightly curly hair, a handsome face, and an arrogant demeanor, in his twelve, three years younger than himself. He confirmed that he did not know the boy and said, "I am, who are you?"

The young man didn't answer his words, but said in a disdainful tone: "How can there be a person like you who is completely ignorant of self-knowledge, and you can't communicate with the star after three years of apprenticeship, which means that you have no relationship with the star cultivator." But he still doesn't give up, and he keeps occupying the quota of the astrological tower, wasting resources!"

Ye Xing listened to the young man's inexplicable words inexplicably, his eyes were raised, and he spit out four words: "It's about your!" As soon as these words came out, Ye Xing suddenly felt that a depression in his heart dissipated, and his worries about entering the astrological tower also disappeared. He smiled and said to the boy, "Thank you." "Thank you for relieving me.

When the young man heard the first four words, his face was ugly, and he was about to get angry, and when he heard the latter sentence "thank you", he was stunned. Then, he was even more angry, although he didn't understand, he thought that Ye Xing was scolding him in disguise.

The young man looked at Ye Xing coldly and said, "I see if you can communicate with the natal star when you enter the astrological tower this time, if not, you should go back and be an ordinary person, don't try to climb to the world of star cultivation again, otherwise you will fall to your death." ”

Ye Xing didn't have the same knowledge as this little kid, but closed his eyes, adjusted his state, and prepared to enter the astrological tower.

Seeing that he was ignoring him, the young man's face turned red with anger, but when he saw Ye Xinggao's sturdy physique, he thought of something again, so he just snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.

"Prepare to enter the tower. Tan Zhou said in a solemn voice. Eighteen students immediately lined up in two lines and followed Tan Zhou into the astrological tower in turn.

Entering the tower, eighteen students sat in a circle, Tan Zhou sat in the center, glanced around, and said, "Start entering the Star Boundary." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Xing exuded all his perception and floated upward. At first, I came into contact with the misty starlight below the dome, which was slightly cool. His perception continued upwards, and after passing through the starlight, he saw the dome of the hemisphere. There is a complex star map drawn on it, shining with a little starlight, like a real starry sky. In the center of the dome, directly below the spire, is a deep black spherical gemstone. Ye Xing's perception floated towards the gem without hesitation, and as soon as he touched it, there was a suction force, and his perception disappeared into the tower.

Before disappearing, his last thought was: this gem that looked very much like a star stone was not a star stone, because under his second-level perception, the texture and luster on the surface of the gem were very different from that of star stone.

As soon as he was sucked into the mysterious gem, Ye Xing's consciousness body that had been condensed entered a dark passage, and a little silver light flickered in it. Ye Xing's consciousness body was pulled by some kind of force, and it quickly passed through the passage. It didn't take long for him to move from one darkness to another.

Ye Xing's consciousness body floated in the dark void, helplessly looking at the countless faint meteorites in front of him. Sure enough, it's still in such a hellish place. Ye Xing sighed, his eyes became firm, he looked at the darkness in all directions, and his consciousness body quickly drifted in a certain direction.

While floating, Ye Xing silently counted the time in his heart. Three hours later, Ye Xing stopped, looked around, and shook his head. The last time he was floating in one direction for three hours, then his senses ran out. This time I floated at the same speed for three hours, and the place I was in was different from the last time. Although they were all unchanging voids and meteorites, Ye Xing could still recognize the differences.

Without thinking about it any more, Ye Xing continued to start floating, and continued to increase his speed until it was three times the start, and then maintained such a speed, moving forward at high speed.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Xing's consciousness gradually weakened. He subconsciously looked around, and everything still hadn't changed. Ye Xing's heart was horizontal, he increased his speed to the fastest, and rushed forward desperately, his consciousness became blurred, and there were signs of dissipation.

Just when Ye Xing was about to give up in despair, a burst of white light suddenly appeared in front of him. He couldn't help but stop and stared blankly ahead.

A huge white ball of light, like a fireball, released a bright and dazzling light like the sun, illuminating the void. The light cluster is still getting bigger and bigger—it's flying at high speed, approaching in the direction of the leaf star.

Ye Xing looked motionlessly at the giant ball of light flying towards him, and muttered obsessively: "Is this a star? a star that will shine." ”

The light cluster got closer and closer, and Ye Xing realized that it was bigger than he imagined, bigger than Blue Mercury, bigger than all the meteorites he had ever seen, and occupied all the fields of vision in front of him. At the same time, Ye Xing's consciousness felt the increasingly intense light, and he couldn't feel the heat, but he almost melted himself.

The light cluster had already arrived in front of him, but Ye Xing couldn't avoid it, and it was too late anyway. He stared at the ball of light with wide eyes, trying to see through the ocean of light and see it as it was. His eye sockets were filled with pure white, and he lost his vision. At the same time, the light cluster had already hit his consciousness body, and Ye Xing lost consciousness.

When Ye Xing woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in the academy's medical room. When I opened my eyes, I saw not the ceiling of the infirmary, but two round outlines, which were wrapped in white satin, which was particularly conspicuous. In front of his right chest, there is a white sign that reads: Su Lingyu, Star Medical Association.

The round outline suddenly moved away from the rise, and a beautiful and moving face appeared in front of Ye Xing's eyes: the complexion was like snow, the lips were like blue, the green silk was dyed in the night, and the eyes were clear. Ye Xing was fascinated for a while, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Are you awake?" A voice like a dingdong mountain spring falling bluestone woke Ye Xing up from the fog, only to see the girl in white in front of him looking at him who opened her eyes, and said softly.

"Why am I here?" Ye Xing just wanted to sit up, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if someone had knocked him with a stone. He couldn't help but take a long breath, clasped his head in his hands, and tried to grope for the wound on it.

But he didn't feel any wounds, and the pain came from his head. The perception in his mind was like a wild beast out of control, rampaging through his mind. Ye Xing tried to exude his senses, but his headache was even worse, and his perceptions seemed to be locked and unable to be released.

The girl hurriedly stopped his movements and said, "Don't move yet, your perception has been greatly impacted, and it has caused some damage to the brain, so there will be a severe headache." I'll check it for you again, don't resist. As she spoke, she stretched out a snow-white and tender palm and gently pressed it against Ye Xing's forehead.

A cool and soft feeling covered Ye Xing's forehead, as if it had produced magic power, and Ye Xing felt that his headache had weakened slightly. In an instant, Ye Xing saw a burst of pale cyan light emanating from the palm of the hand that was as white as frost and snow and as soft as water, bright but not dazzling, warm but not burning. The blue light was like spring rain, slowly pouring into Ye Xing's mind.

Suddenly, the out-of-control perception in Ye Xing's mind gradually stabilized. Ye Xing carefully controlled the perception that had quieted down, and with the help of the continuous influx of blue light, he finally controlled his perception.

Ye Xing immediately tried to emanate the perception out of his mind, and then collided with the blue light that was still pouring in. The two collided, and Ye Xing was surprised to find that there was a soft and tough perception hidden in this blue light, which was much stronger than his own perception.

Just when Ye Xing's perception collided with Qingguang, the girl's delicate body stiffened, and even the palm of her hand on Ye Xing's forehead shook. The blue light in Ye Xing's mind suddenly withdrew the girl's palm like a low tide, the light faded, the girl withdrew her palm, exhaled lightly, looked at him with surprise, and said, "Okay, there should be no problem." ”

Ye Xing sat up, looked at the girl with clear eyes, and said sincerely with a smile: "Thank you, I should recover." He quickly glanced at the white sign on the girl's right chest, and continued, "Your name is Su Lingyu, right? Hello, my name is Ye Xing." ”

For Ye Xing calling out his name, Su Lingyu was slightly stunned, and then thought of something, her pretty white face flushed slightly, and she glared at Ye Xing with embarrassed eyes.

Ye Xing was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, is there your perception in the blue light you released just now? ”

Su Lingyu snorted lightly and said, "That's right, just now I attached my perception to the star power, so that I could easily observe the situation in your mind. After a pause, she looked at Ye Xing with a surprised gaze and said, "My second-level upper-level perception is not uncommon among high-level star scholars. It's you, you haven't even condensed the star seed yet, right? There is actually a second-level lower level of perception that is close to the middle level, could it be that you are the genius seed of this year of the academy?"

Ye Xingcai remembered what he had encountered in the Star Boundary before, his heart tightened, and he sank his perception into the dantian of his abdomen, and he was suddenly sluggish. His dantian was filled with white light, gathering closer to the center, forming a condensed light cluster. Is this a star species? Ye Xing is not sure.

Seeing his sluggish face, Su Lingyu couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Ye Xing described the situation of his dantian to her.

Hearing this, Su Lingyu's face turned straight and said to Ye Xing, "What was the situation you encountered in the Star Boundary at that time?"

Ye Xing recounted in detail how he encountered the huge light cluster that crashed into him in the astral boundary, and then looked at Su Lingyu with a nervous expression and said, "Is that light cluster my life star?

At first, when she heard the dead and silent void and meteorite that Ye Xing talked about, Su Lingyu was a little surprised at first, and then when she heard the huge light cluster, her face changed, she looked at Ye Xing with some hesitation, and said, "The light cluster you said may be a meteorite. ”

"Why, doesn't the meteorite glow? I saw a huge and bright cluster of light, and it crashed into me, and my perception was hurt by it. Ye Xing said in disbelief.

"When a meteorite goes out, it really doesn't shine. But there is a process that goes from the fall of the stars to the extinction of meteorites. In the process, that star releases all of its remaining star power until it is extinguished, becoming a meteorite. Su Lingyu glanced at Ye Xing and said softly: "The light cluster you met may be a falling star, and that is the last light before it goes out." ”

Ye Xing was struck by lightning and sat on the hospital bed stiffly, not moving. Su Lingyu looked at him like this, and his heart was anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Maybe my analysis is wrong, you can see if you can mobilize the light group at the dantian." If it could, it would be a starseed. ”

Ye Xing threw all his perception into the dantian like grasping a life-saving straw, desperately trying to mobilize that white light. But the white light did not pay any attention to it, but mechanically gathered, rotated, and surrounded the central light cluster. Ye Xing's heart was horizontal, and he manipulated his perception to collide with the central light cluster, but before he reached the center, he was repelled by the white light that was free around him.

Ye Xing retracted his perception, gave up trying, and sat on the bed with a dead face, as if the world had collapsed and everything had lost its meaning.

In the past two years, despite falling into the boundless darkness again and again, and not being able to communicate with the fate star, Ye Xing still persevered and did not give up, because there was still hope for everything. As long as he keeps trying, maybe one day he will be able to break through that dark cage, rush to a place with starlight, find a star that suits him, and embark on the path of star cultivation.

However, he actually chose a meteorite. It's all over, there is no more dark cage, no light, no hope. The path of star cultivation is cut off.

Ye Xing lifted the quilt, got out of bed, put on his shoes, bowed to Su Lingyu, and said, "Thank you." Then he walked out the door with blank eyes.

Su Lingyu raised her hand to Ye Xing, her lips were about to open, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't find any words to comfort her, so she lowered her hand again, sighed, and looked out of the door silently.
