Chapter 358: Chapter 301 Transfer of the Law (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Ghastly Realm, Falling Star Pit.

The gray mist drifted, resembling a cavernous space where passages were sometimes narrow and sometimes spacious, just like the myriad of cavernous spaces spread throughout the Great Domain.

The smaller ones could be as compact as an underground parking lot, so constricting that powerful beings could pierce through the spatial layers directly.

Yet the larger ones, just a single cavernous space, could be bigger than an entire ordinary world, containing environments such as mountains, rivers, forests, and more.

However, this was, after all, the Ghastly Realm.

The mountains were bald and rocky, the rivers displayed a death-like gray that discouraged any crossing, and the forests consisted only of twisted, dead trees that stretched out ghastly limbs like a myriad of demons.

Only the Crystal Stones that emitted a faint luminescence, embedded within the cavernous space’s layers, added a touch of magnificent color to this otherwise dull environment.

"However, these fallen star crystals can only serve as decorations, having no function of their own."

In the carriage, the third princess was still enthusiastically acting like a tour guide, introducing Citina to the unique geographical features of the Falling Star Pit.

The fallen star crystals were the most peculiar feature here.

"These crystals are incredibly hard, and only a master of Superhuman Rank might be able to destroy them and excavate them... There were many who tried to do so in the past. However, once the crystals were extracted, they lost their mysterious properties, no longer glowing or being hard but instead becoming like common stones, inferior even to the most basic mystical materials."

"It is said that the fallen star crystals exhibited their mysterious characteristics because they were embedded with the space of the Falling Star Pit. Once removed, they revert to their original state."

This legend was almost universally known in the Falling Star Pit and was hardly a secret.

For people from foreign realms, it was probably still quite novel.

But Citina was uninterested.

Whether it was the legends of the Falling Star Pit or the City of Fallen Stars tourist guide and cultural reviews, she had no interest in any of them. She would rather spend her time gaining strength, aiming for the day she could seek revenge against the Evil God!

She had never dared to entertain the thought, as no one had ever dared to harbor the intention to challenge the Evil God.

But,

having experienced her mentor’s formidable power, Citina harbored a sliver of wild ambition. What if, by some chance, there was an opportunity? For that slim and possibly nonexistent chance, she was willing to give her all.

Because the purpose of her organization, Torchfire, was to perpetuate humanity as well as...

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, we are about to arrive at the Starlight Fortress."

Outside the curtain, the voice of Captain Zel, the head of the guard, interrupted the third princess’s chatter.

Citina finally exhaled in relief.

At the same time,

In Shuize City on the Blue Star, Fang You received a notification from Xiao Huan — the news that Citina was about to reach the City of Fallen Stars.

He immediately returned to the Secret Realm base and to his Level Four dormitory.

He brewed a cup of tea, grabbed some seeds and peanuts, and then shifted his vision to Citina’s location.

"Starlight Fortress, huh? It is said to be the trade city of the City of Fallen Stars, the pearl of the falling stars, and also the only city in the City of Fallen Stars open to outsiders."

Mhm, Fang You had learned quite a bit about the City of Fallen Stars from the third princess.

In all likelihood, he knew more about the City of Fallen Stars than the higher-ups of the Great Oasis such as Yi Yuan Luxi; although, his knowledge was purely theoretical.

Although ’City of Fallen Stars’ included the word ’city,’ it was actually a nation.

It was a grand nation formed by many ordinary oases, the Great Oasis, and even superior oases.

The City of Falling Star itself was the capital, the core and foundation of the entire ’City of Fallen Stars’. ’Starlight Fortress’ was the second most prosperous city, the gateway for foreign trade. Its commerce might even surpass that of the capital, ’City of Falling Star’. There were many chambers of commerce, some of which were capable of long-distance travel across the Ghastly Realm, conducting business between the City of Fallen Stars and other Great Oases.

As for exactly how many cities and oases made up the City of Fallen Stars?

The third princess did not mention this, but Fang You had also gleaned some information from Yi Yuan Luxi.

The general rumor was of eight cities, but the specific locations are the City of Fallen Stars’ secret, with even an extensive domain like the Blackstone Alliance knowing little.

Fang You was also curious about such a prosperous place and dominant power.

At this moment,

Citina, perhaps out of curiosity, perhaps no longer able to tolerate the presence of the third princess, also exited the carriage and followed the convoy on foot.

Gray mist still swirled in front of her. As the convoy advanced, the fog was rapidly dispelled by the candlelight on the carriages, clearing an area several hundred meters wide. Inside this range, the vegetation was clearly visible, but outside, the mist was like a wall.

Gazing at the wall-like fog,

Citina’s eyes sparked with golden flames, easily piercing through the dense mist, allowing a certain mentor to also share this view.

However,

The view was empty, with only faint outlines of bald mountains or tall ruins of buildings. Not a shadow of the magnificent city fortress was to be seen, and everything in front appeared utterly desolate, with no signs of human habitation.

The entourage to the City of Fallen Stars found nothing strange in this.

They were simply growing more joyful and excited, eager to return to a safe environment to enjoy a grand meal, sleep soundly, and cleanse themselves.

The third princess was now less talkative.

The convoy accelerated.

All of a sudden,

Citina’s pupils narrowed slightly. Thanks to the golden flames burning within her eyes, she saw, amid the distant fog, the outline of a grand city appear.

Just moments before, there had been nothing.

Did it appear out of nowhere?

No, not suddenly, the fortress had always been there, yet previously the view was obstructed, as if something blocked it, and just now, after turning a corner and bypassing whatever obscured it, the fortress lay revealed before us.

Although, the convoy had been moving in a straight line all along.

As we drew closer, the oppressive aura of the majestic fortress assailed us.

Fang You had seen the great walls of Sword Flower City, but compared to the walls of Starshine Fortress, those were hardly worth mentioning. This wall was at least a hundred meters tall, studded with raised hexagonal crystal stones that diffused a faint glow. If one had to say, it somewhat resembled...

The Crystal Stones of Falling Star Pit.

Behind the towering walls, one could vaguely make out a sky-piercing spire within the city, likely the highest point of the fortress, crowned with a gem resplendent like a star, scattering a faint starlight.

The gray mist gradually thinned, and upon the barren land, sparse hints of greenery emerged, with streaks of sunlight spilling down. In a blink, it felt as though we had returned from hell back to the realm of the living.

Arriving at the foot of the fortress wall, there was an even stronger sense of life’s hustle and bustle.

Under the vast gate, the portcullis was half-raised, with merchant companies slowly making their entrance, registering, queuing, entering.

However, the convoy of the Third Princess naturally didn’t need to queue. When the emblem representing the City of Fallen Stars’ royal family caught the attention of the guards and the merchant lines, there was a stir of excitement.

The merchants dutifully made way.

The guards formed ranks to welcome them.

This was the weight of the City of Fallen Stars royal family’s name, a legacy that had been passed down for a thousand years!

For beings of myth, it meant nothing, but for all those beneath the myths, the City of Fallen Stars royal family might as well be the heavens themselves.

Once inside the city, Citina politely declined the Third Princess’s invitation to a banquet.

As for the residence the Third Princess had arranged for her, Citina thought about it and then accepted.

"Whatever requests you have, Sister, please command freely. Our Starshine Fortress has most things you could want..."

For example, servants. Not only male and female attendants, but also the very rare non-human kinds, typically exotic species that live in the Ghastly Realm.

"There are flower fairies, blue sprites, minotaurs among several types. However, fantastic creatures are very rare and scarce, and even we in the City of Fallen Stars don’t have many. Furthermore, some fantastic species are extremely powerful. I remember reading in ancient texts as a child about an epic species called ’Gluttonous Behemoth,’ which is said to possess the strength of the Five or Six Senses once matured."

"Yet, despite their might, it seems that Gluttonous Behemoths later became extinct. The ancient texts mention them only in fragments; it’s unclear, but it seems... as if they were hunted to extinction."

The Third Princess shook her head.

How could that be?

High-level fantastic creatures like Gluttonous Behemoths might contain mythical beings within their groups. Even if they were spotted by the City of Falling Star, they wouldn’t dare to capture them.

Moreover, when they, the City of Falling Star, capture relatively common fantastic species like flower fairies and blue sprites, keeping them in captivity proves useful.

Hunting them down? The thought alone is strange.

Perhaps the ancient texts had their inaccuracies.

"However, that ancient book also mentioned a legendary species called ’Phantom Spirits,’ which are said to move between illusion and reality. Their traces can no longer be verified... Those have truly become mere legends."

Before she knew it, the Third Princess talked a lot.

Citina found some of these topics quite interesting and listened, but...

"I won’t need any servants; I prefer quiet."

"Oh, then please wait a moment, Sister. I need to return to the City of Falling Star. The round trip will take a few days."

"Hmm..."

Citina had no objections.

She did need some time to receive the Transmission of Skills from her mentor. A few days... she wondered if that would be enough.

She followed a guide maid to the most high-end ’inn’ within Starshine Fortress, where elegant and delicate pavilions stood, each aglow with the faint light from Fallen Star Crystals.

Inside the pavilion, special incense was lit that had the effect of calming the mind and spirit.

The flowers and trees planted around were also extraordinary.

All this showcased the luxury of the City of Falling Star·Starshine Fortress, making the relatively ’struggling’ life in the Great Oasis not even comparable.

Citina entered the room, her divine sense spreading out, scanning the interior and exterior.

Looking at the ornate bath, she was momentarily tempted. But after a thought, she restrained herself. She was already of mythical rank, with an almost spotless body, and besides, it wasn’t time to rest yet.

There was serious work to be done.

In her mind, Citina called the name of her mentor, her eyes filled with anticipation.

After a long moment,

she finally got a response from her mentor.

"Adjust your state, I will bestow upon you several legacy skills."

"Do not worry; it will be over soon."

That gentle voice echoed in her heart.

Citina swallowed nervously, suppressed her restless heart, and waited.

Like on the day of her Awakening, her mentor’s indistinct face appeared before her, reaching out a finger to gently touch her.

Instantly, the world spun and everything turned upside-down.
