Chapter 44 The Star Field, the Star Map
Chapter 44 The Star Field, the Star Map
Gao Ge lies on his bed, feeling the power of stars flowing smoothly inside him, he cannot sleep well.
After a while, he sits straight slowly and looks out of the window.
Through the window, he can see those twinkling stars. Actually, the window of this room is very good, Gao Ge can see the starlight pouring in when he opens the curtains.
Looking at the stars, Gao Ge couldn’t help but think of the star map he saw on the Star Tree.
He stretches out his finger and draws lines in the air, trying to find the corresponding star map.
“Hey?” Gao Ge suddenly feels stunned and walks towards the window. He looks at the star field, eyes filled with shock.
He is surprised to discover that the star field he sketched out before suddenly turns bright, but soon becomes darkened again, and now it is similar to the surrounding stars.
His mind is running fast, thinking about those star maps he sees today.
“Right, it’s here!” Gao Ge slaps his thigh and shouts out. When he sees the star field, he immediately has a sense of familiarity. What he just saw correlates to a star map that remains in his mind.
With this discovery, Gao Ge glances at the sky excitedly. He now feels the same way as Columbus discovered the New World. After watching that map for a long time, Gao Ge still cannot find out what is hidden in that star field even though his eyes are sore.
However, the power of stars inside him becomes insurgent.
He stands up, quickly gets dressed, holds his slippers and rushes down stairs.
He can feel that when he reaches his hand out and paints the star field, the power of stars in his body changes greatly after being gathered into a line.
The night is quiet, a small patch of poplar forest stands behind Gao Ge. He can sense the night breeze running through the forest, making leaves rustle.
He sits cross-legged and continues to look up at the star field he managed to find.
“Is it a star map?” Gao Ge is at lost.
He thinks the star field is actually a map formed by stars, but now he is not so sure.
It’s more like, a thing formed by many messy words.
He doesn’t know what it is, a painting with some vague ideas?
Or just some random and chaotic characters?
Gao Ge closes his eyes, trying to sense the power of stars inside him.
In front of him, the Star Tree with stars on it reappears.
Gao Ge endeavors to communicate with the power of stars and run it again. Surprisingly, he finds that the power of stars he mobilizes is much stronger than before.
This feeling makes Gao Ge excited again.
“Because it’s during night?”
“But last time, I also tried to mobilize the power of stars at night. Although I was in my room, and my curtains were closed.”
Gao Ge doesn’t know how long it takes before he slowly opens his eyes, he then stands up and returns to the house. Although he hasn’t found the answer he is looking for, he has a hunch that he is close to it. He is just one step away from finding a way to control the power of stars and to start practicing it. If he can, he will be much stronger than cultivators who can spread out their strength!
After sitting on the coach, Gao Ge still ponders the star map he saw before.
He could perceive that the Star Tree in his body is associated with the stars. And each star map may represent a star field. “Although I may not find the remaining star fields, they do exist!” Gao Ge thinks to himself.
“Indeed, mobilizing the power of stars at night is much smoother, this must be a key point.” Gao Ge feels his chin and thinks. “At my current level, my sudden outbreak is really powerful, but I haven’t found a way to control it. Fortunately, I am now getting started, which is a good thing after all.”
“Besides, I just counted carefully and found that the Star Tree forms a total of 35 star maps. There are 36 martial meridians in a human body, exactly corresponding to my 35 martial meridians which have disappeared, I wonder if there is a special connection?”
He thinks carelessly.
And soon falls asleep.
After a while, he wakes up with a start.
Gao Ge immediately opens his eyes and jumps out of bed. He walks towards the window and sees several black shadows passing by quickly.
Soon, another few shadows follow.
According to his judgment, Gao Ge thinks those are all ancient martial cultivators.
He runs down stairs, and sees several men standing in his house, each of them looks very strong.
“Awake?” Asks the man standing in the lead in a bright and clear voice. He is about 40 years old, holding a large bladed weapon which looks antique and thick, several spots of blood can be seen on its blade.
“Yeah,” Gao Ge nods and asks, “what was that?”
“Just several bastards of the Ning Family. I drove them away.” Says the man in the lead.
Gao Ge smiles thankfully.
Obviously, these are experts sent by the Zhao Family. Since the man in front said those were just a few bastards, it would be very easy for them to kill those guys with their strengths. The reason why they didn’t do it is simple. On the one hand, they aren’t sure if they can kill them without being noticed. On the other hand, they probably don’t want to irritate the Ning Family. They are now only helping to protect the family of Gao Ge, so there is still room for collaboration between the Zhaos and the Nings.
Even though Gao Ge totally understands, he isn’t going to burst that bubble, it’s no good for him.
Besides, it’s undoubtedly acceptable for the Zhao Family to make this decision.
They don’t need to make the Ning Family a foe even though they plan to get closer to Gao Ge, otherwise it would be unwise.
Making a deal and exchanging favors are totally okay. Actually, his relationship with the Zhao Family is not close enough to let them wilfully compete with another ancient martial arts family in Jiangnan City.
He thanks the third master of the Zhao Family sincerely, then goes back to his room without questioning their names.
Zhao Kan, the third master of the Zhao Family smiles and rubs his nose.
“I now understand why my big brother is so concerned about this kid. He looks so calm and steady, I believe he will definitely make a success in the future. But this kid thinks too much, I really don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...”
After saying these words, anxiety shows up inside Zhao Kan’s eyes.
He is worried about Gao Ge.
After coming back to his room, Gao Ge begins to sense the first star map in his body. Although when he was outside, he has mobilized the power of stars for a long time, the effect of it was not obvious. Now, he notices a star looking especially dazzling. After recalling the picture of stars suddenly lighting up the sky, he has an intuition.
When he completely lights up this star map, his strength will be immensely improved.
At present, the most urgent thing is to find a martial technique which can help him mobilize the power of stars, otherwise everything will be in vain.
“I have to count on my chance to get a suitable martial technique. The Cultivation Academy is a perfect place to go.” 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶
Immediately.
Gao Ge’s expectation for entering the Cultivation Academy grows larger than ever.
