The Master of Beasts-Chapter 551 - 133: Starmoon Lake

The Star Moon Pond covers only several hundred miles, which isn’t considered large among the ponds and Spirit Lakes Chen Jiuge has seen.

Surrounding the Star Moon Pond is a lush grassland stretching for thousands of kilometers, where a large quantity of Star Moon Spirit Grass grows. This Spirit Grass absorbs the power of starlight and moonlight to flourish, making it quite valuable.

This place is also the main resource area for people like You Xue, and usually, there are no outsiders here. Now, with You Xue’s submission, the Golden Clan guards naturally dare not stop Chen Jiuge from entering.

Picking up a stalk of Star Moon Spirit Grass, Chen Jiuge examined it closely.

About a foot long, its form resembles wild grass, with silver specks scattered on the blades, containing a considerable amount of Star Power. In terms of grade, it has reached the Sixth Rank.

"It’s a Spirit Grass formed by the baptism of starlight and moonlight power, though it’s a bit low in grade, it just so happens my second senior brother has returned, perhaps I can try to enhance its quality," Chen Jiuge pondered.

His second senior brother is a Mutated Heavenly Yuan Pig contracted in the Infinite Star Sea, possessing great talent in Star Power, and should be able to increase the concentration of Star Power here, thereby enhancing the grade of the Star Moon Spirit Grass.

"Let’s have a look at the Star Moon Pond."

Crossing through a large expanse of Star Spirit Grass, Chen Jiuge reached the edge of the Star Moon Pond, squatted down, scooped up some of the water, and sensed it with both his Divine Sense and immortal power, expressing some surprise: "Such rich Star Power?"

"Let me take another look."

He released the power of his Divine Sense extensively, and with the support of the Chaos Pearl, Chen Jiuge’s Divine Sense quickly reached the center of the Star Moon Pond.

Unlike the bluish glow of the outer lake waters, the water at the center is silver-white; these silver-white liquids aren’t dispersing, formed purely by Moonlight Power.

However, Chen Jiuge discovered that this Moonlight Silver Water couldn’t be collected as if it were confined to the center and unable to flow.

"Interesting, this is a natural Star Moon Array!" Chen Jiuge exhibited a trace of delight on his face.

The Star Moon Pond, formed by such a natural array, possesses great creation, where the aforementioned Star Moon Spirit Fish is but one of the most numerous and Star Power-rich Spiritual Fish. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

In the previous probe with Divine Sense, Chen Jiuge already found many other Spiritual Beasts, all united by the properties of stars and moonlight, with excellent qualifications, and even sensed a far stronger aura beneath the lake.

"It’s a good place, though the presence of a Heavenly Immortal Spiritual Beast is somewhat troublesome, hopefully, it’ll be savvy enough." Chen Jiuge isn’t afraid of a mere sneaky Heavenly Immortal Spiritual Beast, for he has such beings by his side too.

"Ci Yao, have your clan build some houses here, not too large, just enough will do, and remember to arrange arrays."

"By the way, after finishing the construction, have someone enclose the Star Moon Pond with an array," Chen Jiuge instructed.

"Yes, my lord."

Despite being petite, Ci Yao acts with the decisiveness of a man, completing all of Chen Jiuge’s arrangements within a few hours.

"My lord, the arrangements are complete."

"Ha ha ha, good, come, take a look at this crab," Chen Jiuge said with a laugh, holding a giant blue crab the size of a millstone.

The crab’s cultivation isn’t high, only at the Seventh Rank, equivalent to a True Monarch Realm cultivator, though its body is filled with dense Star Power, with its shell constantly sparkling with starlight.

"My lord, are you planning to eat it?" Ci Yao asked while pulling out a dagger, ready to help prepare it.

"Hey hey hey, this isn’t for eating," Chen Jiuge stopped him.

Placing the now-docile crab on the ground, Chen Jiuge placed his hand on its shell, the Chaos Pearl slowly rotating, and a unique energy began to flow.

Before long, the previously calm crab suddenly became violent, Chen Jiuge said with a smile, "Go ahead, eat."

Freed from restraints, the crab darted about on the grassland like an unbridled wild horse, devouring all the Star Spirit Grass it passed.

In response, the crab’s body began to swell, its blue body slowly fading to reveal polka dots of silver light.

"Looks like the blue color is an impurity, or perhaps low-quality Star Power," Chen Jiuge remarked, stroking his chin.

Watching for over an hour, the crab finally completed its first mutation, with its azure body becoming light blue, and its shell adorned with numerous silver spots, its size having doubled.

"It’s at the Eighth Rank now, still able to mutate once more, with potential to break through to a True Immortal, it seems the Spiritual Beasts in the Star Moon Pond hold great potential, even a casually caught crab has such potential, truly a good place."

Chen Jiuge was quite pleased with this, knowing that besides regular cultivation, his enhancement relies chiefly on feedback from the Chaos Pearl, which requires nurturing many Spiritual Beasts.

This is not like the Five Elements Sect, which has endless Spiritual Beasts to choose from; he thought it might slow his cultivation pace, but unexpectedly found such a great place like the Star Moon Pond.

"This grassland shouldn’t go to waste either; perhaps it can support some herbivorous Spiritual Beasts, though their numbers should be controlled, as the Spiritual Energy concentration is slightly low."

After searching in the Chaos World for a long time, Chen Jiuge extracted several Spiritual Stone Mines, embedding them into the grassland’s earth veins, and found a Spiritual Beast suitable for such an environment.

The Star Spirit Horse, a name with star connotations but is actually a Water Element Spiritual Beast, though containing a faint, intangible hint of Star Power in its bloodline.

"Let’s make do with these; if I can enhance their Star Power, perhaps I can truly transform them into real Star Horses."
