The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 1015: Wake Up

Two days later,

An old man was inside one of the rooms in his house, observing the condition of the man he had saved two days ago. The man still had not woken up even after two days.

The man’s body had already recovered without any wounds, and the severed limbs had actually grown back!

The old man truly amazed and surprised by the man’s rapid recovery.

Although he had helped the man using any available herbs to heal the wounds, the speed of recovery was extraordinary.

A few hours after he had pulled the man out of the river, the man’s severed limbs had already grown back, and all the wounds on his body had disappeared.

He knew that none of the herbs he had in his inventory could produce such a recovery speed. He also did not possess anything capable of regrowing severed limbs. Such effects could only be achieved by miracle pills or elixirs, which he did not have.

The only reasonable explanation was that the rapid recovery and regrowth of limbs came from the man’s own body.

Even if the man were a pseudo Immortal Establishment stage cultivator, it would still be impossible to reach this level of recovery speed unless he possessed an innate ability to heal wounds or regrow limbs quickly.

This made the old man wonder about the man’s identity.

Was he a vampire? But he did not have fangs, nor did he carry the aura of a vampire.

Feeling confused, the old man stopped guessing the man’s origin.

As he continued observing the man, a little girl peeked into the room. The old man smiled as he sensed her presence.

"What is it, my dear? Do you want to look at this man?" he asked in a loving tone. He knew that his granddaughter was truly curious about this strange man.

Their village rarely received visitors from outside, aside from bandits, and there had never been a stranger staying here before. That was why she was curious that someone was now staying in their home, even though he was unconscious.

The little girl nodded and entered the room, then stood beside her grandfather.

"Grandpa, why has he not woken up yet?" the little girl asked.

The old man sighed. "I don’t know. His body has already recovered, and there is no problem, but he still has not woken up."

The little girl understood and looked at Aldrian again.

"I think he will not wake up today either," the old man said, then stood up and walked out of the room.

The little girl looked at her grandpa and then at the man for a moment before she also left the room, leaving the man alone.

------------------------------

Aldrian, at this moment, fell into a dream. Inside this dream, he could not see anything. There was only darkness.

He floated in the nothingness. There was nothing around him. It was as if he was inside his being’s essence, but without a lone star.

It reminded him of that one time when he saw a vision where there was only nothingness, before any existence existed, before it burst into a blinding light that spread existence itself.

However, this time, he felt something different.

He felt lonely. He felt desolate. He felt confused. He felt bored. He felt that he did not know what to do. He felt that he had no purpose. He was just there, simply existing, and nothing more.

Aldrian, who felt this way, felt suffocated. He did not like this feeling. He did not like it at all.

He was someone who lived surrounded by people he loved and who loved him back. He was someone who lived for something, who did everything with purpose.

This place felt like a nightmare to him. He wanted to escape from it. He did not want to feel this way anymore.

He wanted to run away as far as possible from this place. He wanted to leave.

He wanted to scream because of this horrible feeling that encroached upon him.

He did not know how long he had been in this place, but this horrible feeling made him feel as if he had already stayed here for a long time.

As he tried to escape from this place, suddenly, a blinding light burst before him, illuminating his entire vision.

The moment he realized it, he had already opened his eyes.

He gasped for air, panting. Sweat rolled down his face, and he still felt disoriented.

After he finally managed to calm his heart, he realized that he was already in a foreign place. He turned his head left and right, observing his surroundings. He was inside a simple, small room, with sunlight passing through the window and illuminating his body.

He lay on a simple bed, with a blanket covering him. Aldrian then looked at his own body and tried to move it. He could move his hands and his feet without much problem. After finding no issues with his limbs, he sat up and observed the room in more detail.

He then spread his spiritual sense to check his surroundings, and he could sense many presences nearby. The nearest to him were two figures inside the house.

As he extended his spiritual sense to the maximum, he finally understood what kind of place this was. He released a deep sigh of relief, realizing that he was still alive.

He truly did not expect there to be a spatial disturbance within the teleportation gate.

With the teleportation gate being built by higher beings, there was no way it would easily become unstable, even though it had not been activated for a long time.

The only thing that made more sense as to why this happened was just what the Heavenly Demon’s son had already worried about.

There was something wrong with the gate on the other side. It might have been damaged or already destroyed entirely. This was also one weakness of teleportation gates that covered great distances, such as those between worlds.

If something happened to the other gate, then there was a chance that those who entered would instead be thrown into the void. Worse still, they might encounter a spatial storm.

He thought he would die in that chaotic spatial storm, but it looked like he had won the bet. The escape talisman from Xuanji had successfully brought him out of the chaotic space.

He truly felt grateful to Xuanji for it.

Now the question was: where was this place? He hoped that he had not been thrown far from the central region of Heaven.

He then sat on the edge of the bed for a moment before standing up. He walked toward the door of the room, which was simply covered by a plain cloth curtain.

He moved the curtain to the side, and he could see an old man and a little girl. The old man had duke stage cultivation and seemed to be pounding something in a small container while sitting, with the little girl observing him from the side.

The old man and the little girl also sensed his movement, so they looked in his direction. They were stunned, but Aldrian showed them a smile.

"Are you the one who saved me, sir?" he asked.

The old man put the pounder stick aside and stood up. "Oh, my granddaughter is the one who found you. I merely brought you here and did some first aid on your body. But I think I did not do much, as your body had already recovered by itself."

Aldrian then looked at the little girl, who was observing him curiously. He smiled at her, which made her blush and lower her head.

"I see. Then it looks like I owe you and your granddaughter. Thank you for saving me," he said, bowing slightly to them.

"Ah, no, sir, please don’t mind it. I just did what I could and what I thought was right. It’s fate that brought you here," the old man said.

Aldrian smiled at him. "You may call me Aldrian, sir...?"

"My name is Valuk, and my granddaughter is Ella," the old man said, which Aldrian acknowledged with a nod.

"Sir Valuk, and Ella," Aldrian repeated their names. "Still, although you said you did not do much, I am truly grateful that you brought me here, sir. There is a possibility I might have died somewhere if Ella had not found me, or if you had not brought me here. So I still owe you."

Valuk smiled and nodded. "If young master says so, oh may I call you Young Master Aldrian? I just feel it’s not polite to call your name directly when you have a higher status than me."

Aldrian raised his eyebrows. "You may call me however you feel comfortable, Sir Valuk. But why do you think I have a much higher status than you?"

"Well, despite your young age, your cultivation level is already at the pseudo immortal establishment stage. I think besides noble descendants, there is no one who could achieve that. Also, maybe it’s just my feeling, but Young Master, you exude a kind of noble aura," Valuk replied.

Aldrian nodded in understanding and smiled. "Well, I’m just a wanderer from a faraway place, so please don’t act too formal with me."

After he said this, suddenly the sound of boiling soup could be heard from the side.

"Ah, would you like something to eat, Young Master? We don’t have anything lavish, but I think it will be enough to fill your belly," Valuk offered.

Aldrian smiled. "Thank you very much. If it’s not too much trouble, that will be more than enough for me." He thought it would be impolite to decline the offer.

A few moments later, three bowls of simple soup, with pieces of meat and vegetables, were served.

Aldrian took a spoonful and savored the taste.

"This is good, Sir Valuk," he said, which made Valuk and Ella smile, especially Ella, who looked very happy.

"I’m glad you like it, Young Master," Valuk replied, before taking a spoon of soup himself.

"Sir Valuk, if I may ask, where is this place?" Aldrian asked after swallowing another spoonful of soup.
