Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 6 Breaking out of the cocoon and rebirth

"Oh no, it's a guardian beast!" Elder Zhang was worried about them, so he brought a team of people to support them. He happened to run into this situation. At this moment, his face changed and he commanded: "All disciples, form a formation to resist the enemy!"

Before he finished speaking, a huge monster rushed out from the depths of the ruins. This monster looked like a tiger, but it had three heads and exuded a suffocating pressure.

"Roar!"

The three-headed tiger roared and pounced towards Gao Xingchen and others.

Seeing this, Gao Xingchen hurriedly absorbed the power of the Star Soul Orb.

At this moment, he had recovered almost completely. Facing the powerful guardian beast, he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly activated the power of the star soul and turned into a stream of light to meet it.

"Xingchen, be careful!" Nanli exclaimed, and the sword in his hand was unsheathed, turning into a flash of lightning and following closely behind.

Gao Xingchen fought with the three-headed tiger, but the three-headed tiger's strength was far beyond Gao Xingchen's imagination, and each attack was overwhelming. Although Gao Xingchen tried his best, he was still defeated, and soon he had several deep wounds on his body.

Elder Zhang and others did not expect Gao Xingchen to be so reckless. Seeing him fighting with the guardian beast, they did not know how to help.

"Damn it, how can this beast be so powerful!" Gao Xingchen cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, Nan Li arrived, and the long sword in his hand turned into a series of cold rays, constantly attacking the three-headed tiger's vital points. With Nan Li's participation, Gao Xingchen's pressure was greatly reduced, and the two of them joined forces to gradually stabilize the situation.

“Hahaha, what a relief!” Xuan Feng was watching from the sidelines with his blood boiling. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and pointed at the three-headed tiger and shouted, “Xingchen, look at its belly!”

Upon hearing this, Gao Xingchen looked carefully and saw that there was a scale on the three-headed tiger's abdomen that was slightly lighter in color, as if it was an old wound that had not healed.

"good chance!"

Gao Xingchen's heart moved, and he seized this opportunity, condensing all the star soul power in his body into his palm, turning it into a dazzling beam of light, and blasted it into the belly of the three-headed tiger.

The three-headed tiger let out a painful howl and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

When the dust settled, the huge body of the three-headed tiger collapsed with a loud bang, and the huge impact force made the ground tremble slightly. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were a little exhausted, but there was a light of victory in their eyes.

"Success!" Xuan Feng jumped up excitedly, ran to the corpse of the three-headed tiger, circled it a few times, and exclaimed in amazement, "This is a guardian beast, and we actually killed it!"

Gao Xingchen ignored Xuanfeng's shouting, he slowly walked to the corpse of the three-headed tiger and searched carefully. According to the rules of the ruins, after defeating the guardian beast, you will get corresponding rewards, and this reward is often the key to improving your cultivation.

"Found it!" Gao Xingchen's eyes lit up. Under the lighter scales on the belly of the three-headed tiger, there was a bead emitting faint starlight. He carefully took the bead off, and a warm energy instantly flowed into his body. The originally exhausted star soul power was like a long drought and then a rain, and it quickly filled up.

"This is... the source of the star soul!" An old voice suddenly sounded, and Elder Zhang appeared behind them at some point, staring at the beads in Gao Xingchen's hand with burning eyes.

"Elder Zhang!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li saluted hurriedly.

Elder Zhang waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to be polite, his eyes still lingering on the bead in Gao Xingchen's hand, "The Source of Star Soul contains pure Star Soul power, which is the key to restoring your cultivation."

Gao Xingchen was delighted and asked quickly, "Please give me some advice, Elder! I have recovered almost everything through the Star Soul Orb just now. How should I use this Star Soul Source?"

Elder Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is a long story, let's talk about it when we get back."

After that, Elder Zhang turned and left, leaving only one sentence echoing in everyone's ears: "Gao Xingchen, you are better than I thought. I am looking forward to your future."

Gao Xingchen looked at Elder Zhang's back, his heart full of expectations and doubts. How should this Star Soul Source be used? Why did Elder Zhang look at him differently? All of this will be slowly revealed in the future.

After returning to the sect, Elder Zhang brought Gao Xingchen to a secluded courtyard. In the courtyard, ancient trees towered to the sky, with green shades covering the sun. A stone pavilion quietly sat under the shade of the trees, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

“Xingchen, the power of the star soul in your body was originally strong, but it was damaged by an accident, which led to the loss of your cultivation.” Elder Zhang motioned Gao Xingchen to sit down and explained in a gentle tone, “This source of star soul contains pure energy, which can help you repair your star soul and return to the peak.”

Gao Xingchen nodded and handed the Star Soul Source in his hand to Elder Zhang. Elder Zhang took the bead, and a strong Star Soul force suddenly spread out, making Gao Xingchen feel palpitations. Elder Zhang made seals with his hands and muttered something, and the Star Soul Source gradually emitted a soft light, covering Gao Xingchen.

Warm energy slowly flowed into Gao Xingchen's body, nourishing his damaged meridians and star soul. Gao Xingchen felt as if he was bathing in the spring sunshine, indescribably comfortable and enjoyable. He circulated his mind skills, guiding this energy to circulate back and forth in his body, repairing his own injuries bit by bit.

Time passed unnoticed, and when Gao Xingchen opened his eyes again, he felt refreshed and full of strength. He clenched his fists, feeling the long-lost sense of strength, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Congratulations, Xingchen, your cultivation has recovered to the fifth level of the Gathering Stars Realm." Elder Zhang's voice was filled with a hint of relief. "If you practice diligently during this period, I believe you will soon be able to break through to a higher level."

Gao Xingchen stood up and bowed deeply to Elder Zhang, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder!"

"This is what you deserve. No need to be polite." Elder Zhang smiled and patted Gao Xingchen on the shoulder. "Practice well. Your future is limitless."

Gao Xingchen left the courtyard, his heart filled with joy. He couldn't wait to tell Nanli and Xuanfeng the good news.

As soon as he walked near his residence, he saw Ling'er running towards him excitedly, "Gao Xingchen, you're finally back! Do you know that you created a miracle this time!"

"Oh? What happened?" Gao Xingchen pretended to be confused.

"The story of you defeating the three-headed tiger has spread throughout the sect, and everyone admires you!" Ling'er looked at him with admiration, "Even those inner disciples who usually look down on others now look at you with new eyes!"

Gao Xingchen smiled faintly, but there was no big ripple in his heart. To him, these false names were just passing clouds, and only by constantly improving his strength could he truly gain a foothold in this world.

As night fell, Gao Xingchen came to the courtyard alone and looked up at the starry sky. After going through so much, he finally saw the dawn of hope again. He knew that this was just the beginning, and the road ahead was still long, full of challenges and unknowns. However, he would not be afraid, because he believed that as long as he persisted in his efforts, one day he would stand at the top of the world and protect everything he wanted to protect.
