Chapter 509: Jade Shakes!

"It's actually a Star Token, a Star Token lost for hundreds of thousands of years!" The purple-clad girl's bright eyes shot out divine radiance. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly cried out, moving with extreme speed, and in a flash she was gone, heading in the direction the jade token indicated.

"I wonder if you could lend me the Star Token for a while?" After a moment of silence, the White Tiger was secretly startled, then spoke with a light laugh. This token seemed extremely unusual.

"Hmm, that won't do." Hearing this, Yang Tian shook his head like a rattle-drum, looking as if he would never agree, and muttered, "The Star Token isn't something just anyone can borrow. What use do you have for it..."

"This..." The White Tiger King was taken aback. His eyes rolled for a moment, then he said with a faint smile, "I happened to obtain a jade slip. Perhaps the Star Token can help me open it."

"A jade slip!" Hearing this, Yang Tian immediately thought of the jade slip he had obtained from the Star Dust Sect. He fell into thought, his expression uncertain.

Seeing Yang Tian lost in thought, the White Tiger King immediately began to persuade him, promising valuable treasures.

Scratching his head, Yang Tian said with some reluctance, "Alas... I can help you open it, but I need to do it myself. Since I hit it off with Brother Tiger at first sight, I'll go against my master's instructions just this once."

Yang Tian put on a righteous look, and the White Tiger felt a surge of excitement. In truth, this jade slip was one their clan had treasured for eons, never having been opened.

"This guy's not bad. He's actually the young master of the Star River Sect. But wasn't the Star Array Diagram lost long ago? Looks like those old fellows weren't telling the truth last time." The White Tiger muttered to himself for a while before handing the jade slip to Yang Tian.

Holding the jade slip in his hand, Yang Tian examined it for a moment, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes. This jade slip was extremely similar to the one he had obtained.

"How do I open it?" Yang Tian felt a surge of anxiety. If he slipped up, it would be hard to explain.

Seeing Yang Tian's hesitant look, the White Tiger King did not urge him. This jade slip was extremely extraordinary, and of course, he was absolutely confident he could get it back.

After a long silence, Yang Tian took out the Star Token. It emitted a strange fluctuation, its surface shimmering with starlight like a brilliant sea of stars, dazzling and resplendent.

A thousand miles away, the graceful, slender girl in purple robes was grinding her teeth. The fluctuation had just disappeared.

Buzz! The silent jade token trembled again. The purple-clad girl clenched her jade hand and said fiercely, "Little thief, let's see where you can run this time."

As soon as the Star Token appeared, the jade slip began to tremble, as if about to erupt with a terrifying surge of energy.

"Strange, where did you get this jade slip? Why haven't I seen it before?" Yang Tian made up a story on the spot, pretending not to know.

"Oh, this was obtained from a relic. Brother Mengtian can give it a try." White Tiger rubbed his nose and urged.

"Oh..." Nodding, Yang Tian cast a surprised glance at White Tiger, then a wisp of star power appeared in his hand, pouring into the jade slip.

Sure enough, the jade slip erupted with powerful energy fluctuations, as if sealing formidable energy within.

"Indeed, it's no ordinary jade slip. No wonder the ancestor was right." White Tiger's eyes burned with desire. The Star River Sect was a hidden force in the Central Region, rarely emerging, yet its foundation was terrifyingly deep.

The jade slip hummed for a while. Yang Tian licked his dry lips, never expecting to obtain a cultivation technique for nothing today.

After a moment, Yang Tian cautiously extended his divine sense into it, scanning the characters inside, and his eyes froze.

Stellar Divine Body! Four golden ancient characters, imbued with immense divine might, enough to crush one's mind.

Yang Tian was ecstatic. What he needed now to perfect his technique was exactly such a peerless divine ability.

Tens of thousands of golden characters. Yang Tian's eyes swept over them rapidly, forcing them into memory.

White Tiger was also excited. Though he didn't need this divine skill, the method of tempering the body with stars was exactly what he required.

"Brother White Tiger, this is our sect's supreme divine art. How did you obtain it?" Yang Tian's expression turned hostile, and he instantly sealed the star token away into the Ancestral Dragon Ring.

Now that he had forcibly memorized it, and the Star Sect had long been destroyed, it was a good chance to extort something.

Cut off abruptly, White Tiger was full of annoyance. He had just been comprehending the technique and forgot to memorize it.

"Brother, this jade slip was obtained by chance, not stolen." White Tiger rubbed his hands and chuckled. "Whatever you need, just say it. I can trade. After all, it was a chance find."

"And I swear by my cultivation that I will never leak this technique. Moreover, I won't cultivate it myself; I only need the essence of star tempering. Otherwise, may my cultivation never advance in this life."

"Is that so..." Hearing this, Yang Tian licked his lips, putting on a troubled and tempted look. White Tiger's oath was indeed harsh, but Yang Tian didn't care about that at all.

"This guy is probably lying. Come on, how could a sect's ultimate technique be leaked?!" Fatty rubbed his hands, looking disdainful. But he chuckled and transmitted: "Ask him for divine blood and precious herbs, and also a White Tiger fang."

"Brother, I have precious herbs and artifacts here. Feel free to take whatever you want." White Tiger put on a generous air.

"Uh, I don't lack those things. I have plenty, can't even store them all." Shaking his head, Yang Tian couldn't agree.

"That's right, brother is distinguished in his skills, so naturally he looks down on this." The White Tiger smiled awkwardly, hesitating over what to exchange.

"Distinguished in status?" Yang Tian frowned, sensing a hint of something amiss. The White Tiger was extremely wary of his identity.

"Brother, just say what you want. I can't think of anything good either."

"Well, how about this: since this big tiger follows me, just give me some divine blood treasures and tiger fangs or something..." Yang Tian nodded, looking reluctant. "That jade slip you have to hand over to me; you can't keep that."

"Divine blood! Tiger fangs!" Upon hearing this, the White Tiger's face couldn't help but twist, turning pitch black. How precious was the essence blood of a divine beast? But then, recalling that it was their clan's supreme technique, he instantly felt relieved.

"I'll do as brother says. It's just a pity for this Blood Fiend Tiger. Brother truly surprises me." The White Tiger sighed in admiration—such magnanimity was simply unmatched.

At that moment, a jade jar appeared in the White Tiger's hand. He said slowly, "These are three drops of divine blood I prepared to save my life. Now I give them all to you, brother."

"Hmm, this White Tiger is truly ferocious—he had already prepared a desperate measure." Yang Tian's heart pounded as he quickly took the jade jar.

Then, a glittering tooth appeared in the White Tiger's hand, exuding traces of killing intent. He said slowly, "These are two tiger fangs that fell out when I transformed. They have been refined into a powerful artifact."

"Brother Tiger has struck it rich!" Big Tiger was truly shedding tears of old age, barely suppressing his laughter, because he knew it was all swindled.

"Alas, brother, you didn't get much benefit either. These ten stalks of extremely high-quality precious herbs are for you." White Tiger said with a grateful look, handing the ten herbs to Yang Tian.

"Good, Brother Tiger is truly straightforward." Yang Tian laughed heartily, not being polite at all, and put the herbs into the Ancestral Dragon Ring. He then took out the Star Token again and activated the jade slip.

The White Tiger King had learned his lesson this time; he memorized the techniques inside with great effort. The Star Firmament Body was renowned in ancient times as a supreme divine art of body refinement. With the star-forging method from this divine art, his physical body would skyrocket.

"Brother is truly straightforward. I wonder about that..." At this moment, the White Tiger King wanted the divine art of the Star Chart.

Yang Tian's eyes hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to swindle some more, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly erupted between heaven and earth.

A purple-clad girl, like a banished immortal, galloped at full speed, bursting forth with divine light that soared into the sky, enough to sweep away everything—truly fearsome.

The purple-clad girl suddenly appeared, and the White Tiger King's brow instantly furrowed. He whispered, "Why is Yuyao here?"

"Why her?" Sensing the appearance of the purple-clad girl, Yang Tian's mind instantly tensed. He had stolen this girl's precious herbs.

"It really is the Star Token!" When she saw the glowing token in the void, the purple-clad girl's eyes instantly widened. When she noticed Yang Tian's appearance, her eyelashes immediately shot up.

"Little thief, I'll kill you!" The purple-clad girl shrieked, still furious over the stolen precious medicine, which had left her sulking for days.

"Brother, why would a disciple of your sect want to kill you?" The White Tiger asked, his head covered in mist, unable to resist inquiring.

"Within our sect... oh no, I've been found out!" Yang Tian's nerves tightened again. Staring at the ferocious girl, he said urgently, "Yuyao is jealous of me. I am the young master now."

"Wah wah... What kind of young master are you? You dared to steal our sect's token—you're a little thief!" The purple-clad girl was nearly mad with rage; Yang Tian had the audacity to impersonate their sect's young master.

"You're talking nonsense!" Yang Tian declared sternly, then shouted, and said to the White Tiger, "This place is not safe. That girl's cultivation is almost at the Great Sovereign level. I can't beat her; we'd better leave quickly."

"Right, right, brother speaks wisely!" The White Tiger nodded in agreement, still needing Yang Tian's help.

"You stupid tiger, don't fall for his tricks! Help me get the Star Token back!" The graceful purple-clad girl was now frantic, shrieking so loudly that the mountains trembled, showing her ferocity.

"Yuyao, you only trained at the Star River Sect for a while; you're not even a core disciple. It's only natural that the young master isn't you." The White Tiger King seemed extremely wary of this girl's identity, speaking gently, and didn't even get angry when called a stupid tiger.

"Ah... you stupid tiger, I'll stew you and drink your blood!" The purple-clad girl, in a rage, her hair flying, charged forward, her jade body radiating divine light.

This furious demeanor contrasted sharply with her appearance and temperament, yet her angry look was still alluring.

"Let's go!" Yang Tian grabbed the big tiger's body and dashed into the distance. The fat man, sensing trouble, followed suit.

"What did Brother Yang Tian do to her? Why does she call him a little thief?" Yun'er murmured to herself, puzzled.

Several figures dashed forward at incredible speed, startling the White Tiger. Most shocking were the fat man and Yang Tian; he could sense they hadn't broken through to War Emperor, yet their speed was astonishing.

"The Star Token—how does that little thief have the Star Token?" Yuyao was very puzzled. She had been taken as a disciple by an elder of the Star River Sect since childhood, and her origins were mysterious, her identity terrifying. She was the foremost among the younger generation of the Star River Sect.

She knew everything about the Star River Sect's internal affairs. The Star Sect in the ancient Eastern Continent was merely a branch, and the Star Token had been lost in ancient times. It was the supreme token of the Star River Sect, containing great secrets.

"Little thief, I will catch you!" Yuyao gritted her crystal teeth, like a banished immortal descending to the mortal world, her speed like lightning as she shot forward.

Seeing the Star Token was like seeing the young master—this was indeed an ancient rule of the Star River Sect, but it had not been seen for hundreds of thousands of years. The Star Token had become a legend, and the token within the sect was a replica.

"Tell me, brother, why is your relationship with her so bad?" Seeing Yuyao's relentless pursuit, the White Tiger scratched his head and couldn't help asking.

"Brother Tiger, you don't know—she's jealous. The Star Token was passed down to me by my master, and this little girl has always wanted to take it back!" Yang Tian lied through his teeth without changing his expression.
