"Undying Star Body... I knew there was something unusual about this kid's body."

Master Wu shook his head.

"This kid, really picks everything clean, swallowed quite a bit of Celestial Marrow Star Liquid. Well, consider it your fortune..."

At the same time, a five-colored divine light descended from the sky, condensing into a bright silver Starlight Pointer, falling into Zhou Leng's Will World, merging with the Ancient River Compass that had no pointer.

The Starlight Pointer spun rapidly, and on the compass, the stars shone brightly, the star paths stretched endlessly.

Thus, Zhou Leng was promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple of the Ancient River Sect.

Master Wu, however, sighed.

The star paths on that Ancient River Compass centered around the star system where the Ancient River Sect was located.

That star system had long been destroyed.

The Ancient River Compass lost its practicality, reduced to a symbol of an Inner Sect Disciple.

A Martial Shadow Wall, three meters high, flew over and shrank into a palm-sized square jade pendant, falling onto Zhou Leng.

Master Wu took a closer look and nodded slightly.

"This kid truly has good luck. The Bitter Purgatory rewards that Ancient River Sect can now offer are already few, yet it is still a half-copy of the rare 'Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique.' Although it's just half, it's enough to use until the Void God stage."

"This 'Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique' is the strongest self-healing technique of our sect, and if practiced to the highest realm, no matter how severe the injury, the flesh and blood can regenerate, the bones and tendons can be remade."

"It's just that the cultivation difficulty is somewhat high..."

Master Wu waved his dragon-headed cane and pointed at Zhou Leng.

The two returned to the front of the Innate Pavilion.

Zhang Xinglie and Song Juesi saw Zhou Leng lying on the ground and hurried over to check carefully.

Zhou Leng's eyes were tightly closed, his breathing long, seeming to have fallen asleep from fatigue, with no visible injuries on his body.

The two then felt reassured, guarding by the side.

A full day and night later, Zhou Leng opened his eyes.

His entire body felt comfortable, with seemingly new power surging through his body.

With a slight perception, he found that the Martial Arts Will had successfully encircled the void image of Ceres 100%.

A faint, subtle connection formed between himself and Ceres.

The Undying Star Body, successfully initiated.

"How is it?" Zhang Xinglie asked.

"Very well, I can now teach you the Divine Text Technique."

Zhou Leng got up, and the Martial Shadow Wall of the 'Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique' slid off.

Master Wu said, "You keep this for study, don't expect to finish learning it in a short time."

"Yes."

With a slight perception, Zhou Leng found that this technique required at least the Innate Realm to use, and stored it in the Magic Spirit Bag.

"Let's go, I will help you translate the Divine Text."

Zhou Leng walked to the Martial Shadow Wall selected by Zhang Xinglie, translated the Divine Text, taught it to Zhang Xinglie, and then helped Elder Song translate.

While the two cultivated, Zhou Leng returned to the entrance.

"May I ask, Master Wu, can I use recording equipment to document the techniques of the Innate Pavilion now?"

Master Wu remained silent for a moment and said, "You might be the only remaining Inner Sect Disciple of the Ancient River Sect. Though you bear the duty of heritage and can teach outsiders, you must be cautious."

"If you must pass them to your civilization, do it step by step. After all, passing it to a few won't violate the sect rules, but passing it to an entire civilization will definitely trigger the rules."

"You have sworn an oath and being the chief priest, breaking the sect rules, you would face severe punishment, possibly ending with the old man dealing with you personally."

Zhou Leng said, "Disciple understands. Moreover, our Ancient River Sect techniques are broad and profound, it's impossible for the majority to benefit in a short time. It must be done little by little."

Master Wu said, "Now is different from the past. These techniques, during the glory days of the Ancient River Sect, were insignificant, but now, they have become the foundation of the Ancient River Sect. Those being taught must complete ritual ceremonies, bound by the Ancient River Sect's oath."

"Disciple will adhere to Master Wu's teaching, and will not carelessly pass on the Ancient River Techniques." Zhou Leng said.

"Good." Master Wu nodded.

Zhou Leng turned around, took out the Demonized Watch, first recording the basic Martial Arts outside.

Then entered the Innate Pavilion to record other techniques, leaving none untouched.

Master Wu shook his head, this kid truly did not regard himself as an outsider.

These items, though said to be precious, are at most Innate level, already widely spread in the Starry World.

The Martial Shadow Walls numbered in the thousands, and Zhou Leng tirelessly recorded, feeling no hardship.

While recording, listening to the white-clothed individuals in the Martial Shadow Walls speaking Divine Text, simultaneously strengthening his Divine Text and Martial Arts knowledge, achieving multiple goals.

The summer wind of May blew across the world of Blue Star.

This year's Ten Realms Youth Battle officially began.

The entrance to the Ten Realms Youth Battle was in Shuizhou Demon City.

The high-level experts from the Ten Realms escorted numerous trial takers, arriving at a mountain outside Shuizhou Demon City.

On the mountain's cliff face, a strange aurora curtain appears, shimmering brilliantly in a rainbow hue, gently rippling.

The grand event of the Ten Realms beneath the Innate Realm unveils its stage.

Under the gaze of the masters, twice as many Vitality Stage experts as before enter the aurora.

In the end, a total of 7309 people step into the battlefield.

The Seventh Division guards Shuizhou Demon City.

Division Leader Chen Changyi, Martial Arts Brigade Brigadier General Chen Shouhu, Martial Guard Bureau's Wang Boxiong, and several Grandmasters stand side by side, watching the slowly converging aurora curtain.

Chen Changyi sighed, "What a pity, Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie couldn't enter."

"I thought they'd catch up at the last minute..." Chen Shouhu said.

"There are quite a few cloaked figures on the Demon side." Chen Changyi said.

"They should all be Demonized Martial Artists from the Demon Worship Sect, we'll deal with them gradually." Wang Boxiong said.

Chen Shouhu glanced at Wang Boxiong and asked, "I'll give you the Demon Slaying Camp qualification, are you letting him join the Vitality Stage or the Innate Realm?"

"Innate, if he gains benefits in the Ancient River Trial, he can quickly break through to Innate."

"You're that confident?"

"He's never returned empty-handed from the Dwarf World or Giant World. What, don't you believe it?" Wang Boxiong said.

Chen Shouhu snorted lightly.

Wang Boxiong smiled faintly and said, "You're actually afraid, rare."

"Stop provoking me, I won't bet with you anymore."

"I always beat you, I feel a bit bad about it, forget it, this time I'll let you win. The benefits of the Celestial Ladder should be big enough, right? Let's use the Celestial Ladder as a standard, if Zhou Leng's gains exceed the Celestial Ladder, I won't press you, when you return to the capital, get him a High Tier Innate marking qualification. If he fails, I'll give your subordinates a qualification, how about that?"

"So easy?" Chen Shouhu looked suspiciously at Wang Boxiong.

Wang Boxiong said, "I'm not sure either, so I don't dare to bet big, besides you're becoming less daring, not like during school..."

"Stop, I'll bet." Chen Shouhu feared Wang Boxiong would reveal his crazy school days.

Chen Changyi looked ahead, the light on the mountain wall dissipated.

The Ten Realms Youth Battle battlefield is closed.

"They should be teleported to various places now." Chen Changyi said.

Chen Shouhu asked, "By the way, Commander, why does a ranking list always appear during the Youth Battle, is it really the trial ground of the Starfield Sect?"

"Only a sect's trial ground can explain this phenomenon. A natural place wouldn't have rankings." Chen Changyi said.

Chen Shouhu said with emotion, "Last year Li Shenkong really earned us major recognition, the first time taking first place for the Human Race. Our generation was strong too, but the top ten were overtaken by giants and giant dragons."

"No way, giants and giant dragons have too strong physical advantages, below the Grandmaster level, they stably possess a realm or even two higher than regular martial artists. What do you think, how high can this generation rank?"

Chen Shouhu said, "I favor Kang Lanhe, last year he had the qualification to join the Youth Battle, but he didn't rush, instead he tried to get the 'Giant Tree Marvelous Body' from the Tree-man World. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the top for the Human Race this time. With good fortune, he could contend for the top ten against giant dragons and giants."

"Giant Tree Marvelous Body? Number one healing ability in the Ten Realms. Those at the same realm fighting him, their True Qi would probably be depleted without being able to kill him." Wang Boxiong said.

"In terms of strength and compatibility, indeed it is not as powerful as the Giant Body, but due to its healing ability, it leaves opponents no way to attack."

Wang Boxiong said, "I actually favor Yunhua's second newcomer, Ding Linglong, usually quiet, but lately revealed, she surprisingly possesses both the Magma Marvelous Body and Black Dragon Power Marvelous Body. Her index superficially is 11, if nothing unexpected, at least 12, maybe even reaching 13."

"I totally forgot about her. However, I'm not clear on her actual combat level, but I've personally seen Kang Lanhe's battle video, very fierce, very wild, very much my taste."

Chen Changyi said, "Besides those two, there should be others hiding some strength."

Chen Shouhu said, "Lou Fei Qiong is decent, he unexpectedly broke through index 11 reaching 12 a few days ago. The Lou Family used plenty of resources for him and this Youth Battle. I've met him, a nice kid, unfortunately born into the Lou Family."

No response from the others.

"What about abroad?" someone asked.

"Hmph, Eagle Alliance is busy with internal strife, Seagull Alliance still hasn't emerged from the shadows of the Demon Worship Sect control, Xiong Country sometimes acts like bears, other times like sled dogs, no strong ones this year. Maybe in two years, it'll be like several years ago, showing a batch of strong figures." Chen Shouhu looked down on everyone.

Wang Boxiong said, "I actually know one very talented fellow from the Eagle Alliance, Lucas Miller, just saw him. Last year, he had the qualification for the Ten Realms Youth Battle but was defeated in one move by Li Shenkong a month before entering, lost his confidence, and gave up joining. This year, knowing shame gives him courage, rushing straight to Eagle Alliance's first in the Vitality Stage, reportedly challenged new Innate entrants, winning continually."

"That strong? When I encountered new Innate entrants back then, we had wins and losses." Chen Shouhu's face turned serious.

"Eagle Alliance remains the second strongest nation, talents will always emerge, his good fortune led him to the Skeleton Marvelous Body, robust and lightweight bones, Lightweight Skill's stepping technique power far surpassing the same realm. Moreover, kids nowadays are becoming more formidable."

"Indeed, humanity as a whole gets stronger constantly, inevitably driving individuals to become stronger. After several days, I'll have more kids, benefit humanity." Chen Shouhu said with a serious face.

The crowd rolled their eyes at him.

Ten Realms Youth Battle battlefield.

A hundred massive, independent peaks rise sharply, standing like bamboo shoots, with no connection between the mountains.

At the summit of each mountain, a light ball hangs suspended.

Numerous exotic beast nests are built around the mountain tops.

On the tallest central mountain, a white cloud floats, above the cloud, a golden list flutters.

The list is carved with dragons and phoenixes, surrounded by intricate cloud patterns.

No matter where the trial takers are, as long as they look up at the summit of the tallest mountain, they can magically see the list.

Now, the list reveals the stereo images of all 7309 trial takers, ranked from top to bottom in sequence.
