All the exams had ended, and with the first sester of university coming to a close, Xiang Beifei realized he had been at school for less than half a year.
But it seed like a lot had happened during this half year; as a student who had just started, he had made countless trips to the wilderness outside the domain and even experienced attacks by desolate beasts from the frontier.
Such experiences were even more harrowing than what many pioneers had encountered.
The school quickly beca deserted, as many students couldn’t wait to go ho after their exams finished. Li Zimu and Long Guocheng had left yesterday, and Xiang Beifei planned to go ho tomorrow.
Once again, he spread out his journal and closely inspected its contents.
The journal repeatedly ntioned that his father went to seek an answer, but what that answer was, Xiang Beifei still hadn’t quite figured out.
Unfortunately, the Pioneer Stone was too severely damaged, and the information he had gleaned before and after was just that.
"If only the Pioneer Stone could be repaired with system abilities," he lanted.
This was where Xiang Beifei felt regret. Due to its functionality, the Pioneer Stone couldn’t respond to system abilities; otherwise, Elder Luo would have found a way to restore it long ago. After all, there were not a few people in the world with restorative systems, and with their contacts, it would be more than enough to find an SSR-grade restorative Awakener.
"Woof!"
Xiaohei suddenly blinked and barked.
Xiang Beifei looked at Xiaohei in surprise and asked, "You didn’t know, did you?"
"Woof woof!"
A light flashed beneath Xiaohei’s feet, and the Spirit Gathering Book landed in front of it. It pawed the Spirit Gathering Book, flipping it to the page of the Dou Constellation.
The Dou Constellation was eager to burst forth from the page the mont it was spread out, but Xiaohei smacked it down with a pat of its paw and flipped back a page, landing on the Basket Constellation.
The Basket Constellation belonged to the late stage of ridian Opening and could be unsealed then, with only four stars—that is, four seals of the late ridian Opening stage.
"Woof!"
Xiaohei indicated the Basket Constellation.
The God Refining stage was too powerful, and its seals were formidable; Xiaohei couldn’t perceive it in much detail, but it could vaguely grasp a bit about the constellations of the ridian Opening stage.
"It possesses the ability to repair?" Xiang Beifei exclaid in surprise.
Xiaohei first nodded then shook its head, indicating that it felt this constellation had the ability Xiang Beifei wanted, but it couldn’t be completely certain.
"But if I unseal this constellation now, isn’t it also uncontrollable?" Xiang Beifei pondered.
"Woof!"
Xiaohei suggested it was highly probable.
The last ti the Dou Constellation caused trouble, it had given him a tough ti. The Dou Constellation belonged to the God Refining stage, it had its own consciousness, and it could seek out Xiang Beifei for trouble even after just two seals were unlocked.
Xiang Beifei was currently only at the early stage of ridian Opening, and the next step should be to elevate his cultivation to the mid-stage of ridian Opening, first lighting up the Tail Constellation of the mid-stage, and then waiting until the late-stage to light up the Basket Constellation.

If he decided to skip the Tail Constellation and unlock the seals of the late-stage ridian Opening, it wasn’t impossible, but without the corresponding strength, it would be difficult to suppress such an odd star ability.
"I have to try first."
Considering the Basket Constellation belonged to the late-stage of ridian Opening, its seals were weaker than those of the God Refining stage’s Dou Constellation, so it should be easier to control than the Dou Constellation.
Xiang Beifei had a late-stage ridian Opening Beast Pill that he acquired when he followed Elder Luo to the outskirts of the desolate wasteland. He had provoked that desolate beast and couldn’t defeat it, so Elder Luo helped him kill it with a slap, giving him the Beast Pill.
He also had two UR-level system items obtained from Zhu Xinjue, which were equivalent to late-stage ridian Opening spiritual power crystals. He imdiately fused them.
The Basket Constellation required four late-stage ridian Opening spiritual power crystals. Xiang Beifei decided to unlock only three seals to see how it would go, leaving one seal intact. If he couldn’t control it, he would have Xiaohei imdiately close the book.
Xiaohei understood imdiately and produced the Beast Pill and the two UR items, converting them into three late-stage ridian Opening spiritual power crystals.
The spiritual power crystals quickly integrated into three of the stars of the Basket Constellation, and soon three stars lit up, leaving only one star dim.
Hum!
A strange aura emanated from the Basket Constellation!
This aura was very peculiar, like a mist, but it showed no sign of volatility. It was nothing like that troubleso ghost from the Dou Constellation that caused him trouble right off the bat.
Xiang Beifei cautiously used his own Spiritual Power to guide this mist. The mist spread out, intertwining with his Spiritual Power and slowly forming a vortex.
It didn’t seem to be anything wrong.
But since he hadn’t completely unlocked it, Xiang Beifei had no idea what this ability specifically was. He could only carefully explore it with his own Spiritual Power, relying on his past Perception of abilities like Learn by Analogy. He knew that using such abilities required guiding with Spiritual Power.
The mist didn’t show any abnormalities, drifting smoothly along Xiang Beifei’s fingertips, looking quite harmonious.
Soon, he felt as if his fingers were being pulled by sothing, his skin pulsating slowly. The strangest thing was that his nails seed to be slowly growing!
Xiang Beifei caught onto this change quickly because he usually kept his nails trimd, but for so reason, they had started growing again. However, the nails hadn’t grown long before they were trimd again, turning into little bits of powder.
At this ti, Xiang Beifei’s expression changed slightly!
Because he found that the ridians in his fingers seed to be shrinking!
It was known that the ridian Opening phase required one to develop ridians. By now, Xiang Beifei had already fully developed the ridians in both hands. However, the mist was interfering with the pinky’s ridian, causing it to decompose into strands of Spiritual Power and drift away!
Xiang Beifei gasped!
He imdiately disconnected his Spiritual Power from the Basket Constellation mist, shaking his pinky to dispel the remnant mist from it. The wisp of mist hung in the air and settled on paper.
Hum!
There was a spot on the paper the size of a fingernail that trembled, quickly turned yellow, cracked, and a bit of cotton-like tree sap erged. The tree sap then solidified, turning into a small pile of sawdust.
The mist vanished slowly, and where there had been paper, there was now a hole, surrounded by bits of fibrous tree pulp.
"Turning paper into tree pulp? This doesn’t look like repairing things, rather, it’s more like—," Xiang Beifei looked at the paper in amazent.
Xiaohei slapped its head and exclaid, "Woof!"
"Return to the Original State!"
Xiang Beifei was quite astonished. The ability of the Basket Constellation was actually Return to the Original State!
In other words, the ability of the Basket Constellation could remove the current state of an object, reverting it back to its original state continuously. If Xiang Beifei had enough Spiritual Power, it could even revert paper to a tree, or even to a seed, back to non-existence!
Touching his pinky, he finally understood why the ridian there had been decomposed.
The ridian had been opened by him, and when he had touched the mist with his pinky, the ridian was forcibly reverted to a pre-opened state!
