Although he couldn't be certain about achieving the Heavenly Connection realm, the good news was that he now was a martial artist in the late stages of orifice transforming, which ant he could light up another constellation.
The Chamber Constellation he encountered last ti was particularly sly, with a total of nine seals. Xiang Beifei had only unlocked seven, leaving two that he had not yet attempted to break. However, it was obvious that sothing inside the Chamber Constellation was restlessly stirring.
Now that Xiang Beifei's strength had reached another level, he should be sufficient to suppress whatever was inside. It was ti to see exactly what sort of entity it was.
He called Xiaohei over, took out the Spirit Gathering Book, and flipped to the page of the Chamber Constellation. Then he used two spiritual power crystals from the mid-stage of orifice transforming and unlocked the last two seals of the Chamber Constellation!
Hum!
A vague white fog slowly materialized and hovered in front of him.
This mass of fog was too ordinary. If Xiang Beifei had to describe it, it seed just like a common, unremarkable mist that could be seen anywhere on a moist morning.
Without a specific shape or any apparent abilities, it was just a clump of fog – simple and plain.
Xiang Beifei's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he stared at the mass of fog.
Since the fog had clearly tried to attack him last ti, he wouldn't really treat it as just any ordinary fog.
However, the fog seed to know its place; after being unsealed, unlike Erha that would beco all restless and eager for a fight, it stayed quiet, shrinking in its spot like a well-behaved baby.
If it weren't for Xiang Beifei knowing there was sothing off about this fog last ti, he might have indeed let his guard down.
"Woof woof!"
Xiaohei scratched its head in surprise, pointing at the words in the Spirit Gathering Book.
This ti, the Spirit Gathering Book had so markings:
[Chamber Constellation: Mustard Seed in Palm]
Beyond that, there seed to be no further description, but the na alone was enough to astound him.
"Mustard Seed in Palm!"
Xiang Beifei was extrely surprised!
Last ti at Zi Hou, that mysterious woman who took Zhao Ruizhong to Zi Hou deliberately ca up to him, sniffed him, and said he carried the scent of Mustard Seed in Palm!
At the ti, Xiang Beifei was pondering what Mustard Seed in Palm could be.
Yet, he had never imagined that his very own Chamber Constellation enclosed it!
But here ca the problem again, even if Mustard Seed in Palm was sealed within, he still didn't know what it was used for!
"Grandpa, do you know about Mustard Seed in Palm?" Xiang Beifei turned and asked.
"Mustard Seed in Palm?"
Xiang Qingde frowned slightly and shook his head after a mont.
"However, grandpa's system interface did show the words Mustard Seed in Palm." Xiang Beifei recounted in detail the words that appeared on his grandfather's system interface last ti.
"That must have been sothing that happened later on," Xiang Qingde said.
Xiang Beifei felt sowhat disappointed; he poked the mass of fog. It felt soft and elusive, and it lacked even a scent. Xiang Beifei could not sll the "scent of Mustard Seed in Palm" ntioned by the mysterious woman.
The fog seed to be playing dead, completely ignoring Xiang Beifei, and he had no idea how to control it.
"Woof woof!"
Xiaohei, on the other hand, was quite impolite as it jumped on top of the fog and kneaded it like clay, pinching here and there, shaping it into an image of Erha, looking sowhat dim-witted.
Xiang Beifei couldn't help but laugh.
However, even after Xiaohei's kneading, the Mustard Seed in Palm did not resist in the slightest, which was entirely different from the situation before it was completely unsealed.
Xiang Beifei tried for a long ti but still could not get it to move. In the end, he could only resignedly stuff it back into the Spirit Gathering Book, caution was necessary, after all.
Afterward, he turned his attention to the next constellation, the Bi constellation.
Bi constellation, there were only two orifice transforming late-stage seals.
Xiang Beifei had quite a few spiritual power crystals from the orifice transforming period; two late-stage seals weren't much of a concern.
Illuminating the Bi constellation beca routine.
[Bi constellation: Abundant Seal]
A square, black jade stone, just like a stamp. The stamp was no more than an inch wide, and underneath was a strange pattern that resembled a whirling vortex.
Beyond that, there was no detailed introduction, and he didn't even know how to handle this stamp.
"What the hell is this Abundant Seal?"
Xiang Beifei rubbed his forehead, increasingly helpless.
He didn't want to complain anymore; up to now, the closer he got to the end of the twenty-eight constellations, the more puzzling the unlocked items were—the kind where he had absolutely no clue.
Xiang Qingde furrowed his brow slightly; even he had not seen many of the items from Xiang Beifei's twenty-eight constellations, not even the Five Pieces of Stone—he could only na them but knew not their origin.
This was a headache for Xiang Beifei.
"Well, better than nothing."
Xiang Beifei wasn't too concerned; he directly tossed it back into the Spirit Gathering Book to see if it would be of use in the future.
However, his attention was more on Mustard Seed in Palm.
Because of the Mustard Seed in Palm, he felt it was very strange; in his eyes, it definitely ant sothing.

Xiang Beifei eventually set out, departing from Skeleton Village.
After half a year in Skeleton Village, Xiaohei and Erha had beco familiar with the skeletons. Erha, especially, was quite reluctant to leave; after all, it had been catching desolate beasts for barbecuing, tirelessly experinting with recipes, and even created dishes with different flavors based on different flas.
For example, Erha's current favorites were the white, red, green, and purple flas—four types of flas that produced a mix of four different flavors. Before leaving, it took a large amount of this fla-mixed roasted beef, storing it in Xiaohei's bubbles.
Xiang Beifei couldn't help but be reminded of Kong Daming's Gluttonous Feast System. When he was a pioneer, he possessed culinary skills, and he had a special ability nad "Samadhi Fire," which allowed him to infuse the flavor of cumin, spicy hot, and five-spice into the fire when roasting desolate beasts.
His ability seed to be not much different from the flas used by the skeletons; perhaps the essence of this world was interconnected after all.
"Young master Xiang, please take care. On behalf of the Si Fire Tribe, I thank you once again!"
The White Fla Skeleton accompanied Xiang Beifei all the way to the border of Si Hou, bowing solemnly.
"No need to thank ; I've reorganized this place, and the formations I've laid down are sufficient for dealing with those Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage. The conscious my grandfather left behind will protect you," Xiang Beifei stated.
Xiang Qingde watched his departing grandson, with worry and reluctance in his eyes. He was rely an independent consciousness that remained, bound to this land and unable to stray too far; otherwise, he would have followed Xiang Beifei on his journey no matter what.
"Be careful." Xiang Qingde patted Xiang Beifei's shoulder.
"I will," Xiang Beifei replied.
He was going to seek the end of the outer wilds, to find the Dao that belonged to him.
Youmong scampered out from the embrace of a Green Fla Skeleton, where it had been rooted among the bones for the past half-year, growing robustly. Yet, compared to them, it still preferred Xiang Beifei's spiritual power.
All the skeletons stood there, watching Xiang Beifei, then each of their eye sockets flashed with a faint fla. These flas, varying in color, swirled in the air like fireworks, converging around Xiang Beifei.
"This is a little bit of the life essence fire from all our tribespeople, hoping to be of so assistance to you. Our very existence is to nourish and nurture this essence fire," the White Fla Skeleton bowed and said.
The life essence fire was fundantal to the skeletons' existence, a race born from these fires—extinguishnt ant their life's end. This was similar to the life essence stones of the stone people encountered earlier.
The life essence fire possessed imnse power; to the Moon God Race, it was a supre offering to exchange for greater might from the underworld. It was also a sought-after prize by the Moon God Race and the Ghostly Visage.
For Xiang Beifei, having the life essence fire's use was unknown, but to Erha, it was a condint, and thus it was more overjoyed than anyone else, happily accepting it.
After farewells, Xiang Beifei continued on his way to the next mound.
He had controlled the mound spirit of the blood altar with two bricks, transforming the mound spirit into a compass. The compass pointed the direction very accurately.
Next target: Wu Hou!
