That was indeed a possibility.

But... Other planets, Earth, upper dimensions, lower dimensions, spacetime tunnels... How are these explained?

A person's spatial star technique... like Jiang Xiao's Calamity Shadow Ruins right now, is just a planet?

Too many things cannot be understood by Jiang Xiao at this time.

The old man sighed softly and said, "You are currently at the Star Sea stage. When you reach the Starry Sky stage, the inner star map will close and readjust again. After that, the Candlelight Moon will no longer be the highest quality..."

The old man lay down again, looking at the setting sun gradually disappearing into the horizon, and said, "When your strength becomes stronger, you will know everything, and you will know my doubts. You will also understand why I embarked on another path, seeking the truth of this Star Martial world."

Jiang Xiao remained silent. The so-called truth – after star techniques reach a certain level of quality, one discovers that the world one lives in is the same in essence as one's own spatial star technique?

"I was too reckless." A trace of regret flashed in the old man's eyes, "I have 15 star slots, but in the stage of inflated desires and pursuit of power, I absorbed all kinds of combat star techniques."

This was also what Jiang Xiao had been wanting to ask!

During the rainstorm just now, when the star map bloomed on the old man's chest, Jiang Xiao thought he was seeing things. No matter how he counted, there were 15 star slots!

Terribly few!

Jiang Xiao was the most special one. 9 star slots were unique in the world.

The old man's 15 star slots were the standard. In the Star Martial world, even the person with the lowest aptitude has 15 star slots...

Uh... of course, it depends on who you're comparing with. If this old man is compared with Jiang Xiao, 15 star slots are definitely a lot...

At least 6 more star slots. According to the lowest standard of one star with two techniques, that's a full 12 more star techniques than Jiang Xiao!

The old man looked at Jiang Xiao again, his expression a little strange: "The path you have taken is different from mine, and your reaction after accepting the inner star map is also different from mine.

You only have 9 star slots, and you actually... actually absorbed functional star techniques.

You have many lures, and I also have water-type star technique lures, which can become clones and possess star maps after continuous improvement, but...

But you have the Earth Hibiscus Holder Star Bead.

It's really hard to imagine that kind of meaningless disguise star technique, after improving its quality and undergoing qualitative change, can actually create a new star map."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

The old man's smile was a little strange, and he said, "I am reckless, you are very... um, steady."

Jiang Xiao curled his lips. To put it bluntly, it's being a coward, right?

After a person possesses something as powerful as the inner star map, they still think about "disguise."

Being timid and hiding their head and showing their tail, they are simply disgracing the inner star map!

Not worthy of being called a Chosen One!

However, it was precisely because Jiang Xiao was such a coward that he has "cowered" until now...

Jiang Xiao said, "Old man, times have changed. I awakened in 2015, and you awakened in the middle of the last world."

The old man shook his head and smiled, "No, for some people, the times don't create any restrictions, it's just a personal choice."

The old man sighed, his voice full of regret: "I once had a star beast. If I killed it, I could free up a precious star slot, and I would have a chance to choose again.

However, in those years of conquering the north and fighting the south, I wasted this opportunity again on combat star techniques, alas..."

Jiang Xiao: ???

This old man killed his own star pet to free up a star slot?

Damn...

That's cruel! A ruthless character!!!

This old man's star power realm probably doesn't need a star pet to provide him with star power, right?

Moreover, compared to the star beasts on Earth, the star beasts on other planets are mostly more intelligent and don't necessarily have to form a "master-servant relationship" with humans. They can become companions and friends and travel together.

If Little Candlelight died, Jiang Xiao could also free up a star slot, but asking himself, Jiang Xiao would never be able to do it.

Looking at his star pets, Little Candlelight,嘤嘤 Xiong,噬海衣, 嗡嗡鲸, 嗷嗷 Dragon...

Which one isn't a treasure? How could Jiang Xiao bear to?

Raising a kitten or a puppy, over time, can create the feeling of family. How could this old man bring himself to do it!?

In addition, the most important thing is that after this old man killed his star pet and freed up a star slot, he still absorbed combat star techniques...

"I want to ask you for a favor." The old man's expression became serious, and he also sat up from the rocking chair.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao's heart tightened.

He has helped himself so much, expressed such goodwill, used actual actions to threaten, but has never harmed himself in the slightest. What is the reason?

The old man said word by word: "I hope you can grow faster, even faster."

Jiang Xiao: ???

The old man once again turned stars into martial arts, took out a thick book from his chest, and kept flipping through the pages: "From your choices and your life trajectory, I found that you are still in the stage of 'caring'."

Jiang Xiao frowned and said, "I will always be in the stage of 'caring'."

"Hehe, who knows? But no matter whether you will change in the future, I won't be able to wait until that day. I'm old, Little Pi, I think you can see these traces on my face." Saying that, the old man stopped flipping the pages and carefully read the mysterious words above.

After a few seconds, the old man slowly raised his head, held the book in both hands, and slowly handed it to Jiang Xiao, saying, "You have half an hour."

Jiang Xiao: ???

A smile appeared on the old man's face, and he said, "Believe me, my star map is very valuable and worth building."

Saying that, the old man leaned forward and put the thick star power book into Jiang Xiao's hands.

"Gudu." Jiang Xiao's Adam's apple wriggled for a while. The old man verbally threatened Jiang Xiao's comrades, but he sent whales, star power realms, and even star maps...

What kind of purpose would make the other party take such contradictory actions?

Purpose,

Grasp this word.

The old man said he wanted Jiang Xiao to grow faster...

Why go all out to create an opponent?

Jiang Xiao's mind raced, and he thought of the old man pointing to the sky earlier, saying that this world was the spatial world of other Star Warriors...

And Blind Girl had entered the Star Exhaustion stage, and she had a deeper understanding of turning stars into martial arts.

Combining all the factors...

Jiang Xiao suddenly said, "Because your teleportation and transmission star techniques have reached the highest quality you can achieve.

But no matter how you flicker, you are still in this universe, and you still can't break through the barrier of dimensions.

That is, the so-called outside world in your mouth.

You need me to verify the whims in your mind.

My turning stars into martial arts is about space. When I can understand turning stars into martial arts more deeply, maybe I can break this spatial barrier and take you to see the outside world."

The old man was stunned for a moment, seemingly quite appreciative of Jiang Xiao's analysis and deduction.

He looked at Jiang Xiao, the deep sea blue eyes lit up slightly, and an interesting smile hung on his old face.

He said lightly: "I am very honored to have met you in the twilight years of my life."

Jiang Xiao said in a deep voice: "I am very unfortunate to have met you. Tell me, how do you know everything about me?"

The old man replied without thinking: "In this world, for you and me, as long as you want to know, you will definitely know.

You still care, so there are too many rules and regulations that bind you. Maybe... when you reach my age, no, you don't need to reach my age, you will see through all this.

I just feel fortunate that in my twilight years, I encountered the fusion of Earth and other planets. Of course, this may not be luck, but an inevitable result."

Jiang Xiao: "Hmm?"

The old man reached out and pointed to the book: "Understand it, and you will understand what I mean."

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and carefully looked at the book.

"There are small cracks here, pay attention, don't make a mistake." The old man's head suddenly came over, pointing to a crack on the thick cover and instructing.

Jiang Xiao was shocked the more he looked at it. He had seen this book... this text... before! And more than once.

On the statues of the underwater civilization, the young scholar was holding this book. Interestingly, the scholar's face was blurred by the seawater, but the strange text symbols in the book could still be seen vaguely.

And the cover of this book, this...

When Jiang Xiao and Second Princess Sofia, Third Prince Bino, and Juliet explored the underwater ruins, they saw this book under the bed in a small room in the palace!

And in the second World Cup, Sofia and Juliet came to watch Jiang Xiao's game and invited him to explore the seabed again.

They clearly stated that they had opened the book, and there were many interesting pictures and stories inside that they needed to verify.

So... is it just the same cover? Same appearance?

Where did the pictures in this book of turning stars into martial arts come from?

Jiang Xiao sighed deeply and turned the pages one by one.

This time, building the star map was the most difficult time for Jiang Xiao.

The appearance was easy to imitate, but the strange text on the pages made Jiang Xiao difficult.

He couldn't understand these strange symbols at all, and the difficulty of creating the star map was greatly increased.

The "half an hour" mentioned by the old man was eventually extended to three hours...

Jiang Xiao opened the star technique while slowly turning the pages, "copying" all the symbols he saw in his eyes onto his star map.

The old man didn't eat or drink, and just sat in the rocking chair, watching Jiang Xiao quietly, accompanying him from sunset to night...

"Huff..." Jiang Xiao took a deep breath, his forehead covered in sweat.

In his inner star map, the option to create a new star map in the brackets behind Candle Moon·Earthlight had become (4/6)

A thick book star map slowly bloomed on Jiang Xiao's chest, but it did not open.

The old man's eyes lit up and said, "Success?"

Jiang Xiao frowned and said, "I can't turn stars into martial arts for the time being, I don't have the ability to open it."

"This star map is different from all your previous star maps." The old man took back his book from Jiang Xiao's hand and said, "You don't open it with your hands, but with your mind, with your knowledge, and with your understanding of this Star Martial world."

Jiang Xiao frowned slightly. After a few seconds, the book star map that was slowly floating on his chest emitted a dazzling light.

The tightly closed book suddenly opened a page and turned into a physical entity!

At the same time, a message came from Jiang Xiao's inner star map: "Turning Stars into Martial Arts: *Star Martial Chronicle*!"
