Even when he was practicing the Star Refining Technique, he did not know if it was some kind of illusion. However, Jiang Ming always felt that the speed of the stars seemed to be slightly faster, and more starlight was scattered down.

"It shouldn't be a real star. However, it might be refined from a star fragment that contains an astonishing amount of celestial energy. Those who can cultivate the Star Refining Technique to a high level might be able to obtain more celestial energy in this palace."

Jiang Ming realized that this seemingly unremarkable stone palace might have had an extraordinary position in this blessed land of immortal cultivation.

He even suspected that the blessed land of immortal cultivators had obtained the Star Refining Technique as well as the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body. That was why they created such a stone palace to select talented martial artists.

However, these were all guesses. The truth had been buried tens of thousands of years ago, and perhaps it would never be known.

"Ah." In the storage ring, the black sword suddenly cried out, "I can also cultivate the Star Refining Technique and absorb the celestial energy in this palace. It seems to be able to repair my body! Bro, can you let me out for a while?"

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and directly threw out the black sword. Anyway, there was no one in the palace. Thus, it was fine to let it out.

"Ah! The taste of freedom is so good!"

The black sword flew around in circles and screamed. Jiang Ming ignored it. He continued to comprehend and practice the Star Refining Technique.

As Jiang Ming's comprehension became deeper and deeper, more and more light gathered around his body. Gradually, his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of starlight, and rich celestial energy continued to gather in his body.

"Wow!" When the black sword saw this, it muttered to itself enviously, "This stone palace's celestial energy has been accumulated for countless years. Now that it has been opened, it's a pity that I can't absorb as much celestial energy as him."

Boom!

Suddenly, a shocking fluctuation burst out from Jiang Ming's body. The starlight on his body was sucked into his body and disappeared.

Jiang Ming's body seemed to have turned into a black hole. At this moment, it began to devour the surrounding celestial energy. The bright light around his body formed a vortex and poured into him.

The black sword was shocked. How was this possible?

No matter how monstrous a genius was, it was impossible for him to devour celestial energy like this. His physical body could not withstand such a huge amount of energy at all. Even a Golden Core Realm cultivator would collapse directly.

"This kid won't cheat, right?"

The black sword stared at Jiang Ming in fear. However, after a long time, the vortex of celestial energy was still pouring into Jiang Ming. However, Jiang Ming was still safe and sound. On the contrary, his aura became deeper and more restrained, making it harder for the black sword to see through him.

"Could this guy really be a descendant of some powerhouse?" The black sword looked at Jiang Ming and could not help but guess.

Jiang Ming was impossible to kill. He had survived so many harsh environments. However, he was still fine, which stumped the black sword.

"Perhaps following this guy isn't a bad thing."

From the beginning, it wanted to ride on Jiang Ming's coattails. However, it was just an idea to fleece him. Despite that, the longer it stayed with him, the more it realized that he was extraordinary. Perhaps there were some things that its previous master could not achieve. However, this person had the hope of achieving them.

The black sword sighed indifferently. Anyway, it did not matter. Its life was too long anyway. At most, it would wait for this person to die, and then it could freely continue to play around.

Jiang Ming naturally did not know what the black sword was thinking. Otherwise, he would have told it to stop being wishful.

At this time, Jiang Ming had already started to practice the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body while circulating the Star Refining Technique.

As soon as he started to practice, his body burst out with an amazing power. The celestial energy that was refined into his body was completely devoured by the circulation of the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body, forming wisps of energy that completely integrated into Jiang Ming's limbs and bones.

If the Star Refining Technique was to refine celestial energy into the body and store it, the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body would integrate it with the body. These techniques were inseparable.

Jiang Ming, who had started to practice the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body, felt his body have an increased desire for celestial energy, which caused him to devour the surrounding celestial energy violently.

"Everything in my body is being reconstructed!"

While Jiang Ming practiced, he felt the changes in his body. It was as if his whole foundation of martial arts was being destroyed and rebuilt!
