The Immortal Race discusses the recent deaths of three Heavenly Immortals from Luoning City, angered by the disruption of their plans and vowing revenge against the Human Heavenly Immortal responsible. Meanwhile, Jiang Fan inventories his immense gains from the City Lord's Mansion, including billions of Immortal Stones, hundreds of thousands of Five Elements Immortal Pills, and rare treasures like Stellar River Shattered Sand, which he believes will significantly evolve his Pocket World.

The so-called Stellar River Shattered Sand is formed from the primordial stars of billions of heavens after they perished, with their star cores fragmented and refined over eternal voids, ultimately settling into the star origin spiritual sand. It is the top-grade innate star-type spiritual material of Grotto Heaven.

It is not ordinary sand; each grain is a condensed essence of star orbit, starlight Dao rhyme, and star force origin, born in the ancient void from the collapse of star seas and the extinction of stars, inherently carrying the cycle of creation and destruction of the Star Dao.​​

Its appearance is extraordinarily divine; the sand grains are finely transparent, with a deep glazed silver-blue color, within which flow specks of star brilliance, resembling a miniature sky full of stars.

Each grain may appear tiny, but in reality, it is exceedingly heavy, containing star gravitational force and Void Origin.

When left undisturbed, the sand grains hover unwaveringly, slowly rotating, naturally presenting delicate star orbit patterns that flicker alternately like the cycle of birth and death of real stars.

When gathered in clusters, it is akin to capturing a segment of solidified star river—quietly vast and profoundly ethereal.​​

This material excels at constructing the celestial canopy of Grotto Heaven, harnessing the star force of heavens, and evolving star laws. By evenly spreading the Stellar River Shattered Sand over the Vault of Grotto Heaven, one can instantly replace the original empty void, forming a tangible, ever-revolving vast star river canopy.

Millions of sand grains correspond to millions of stars, each aligning their star orbits and autonomously cycling in circulation, ceaselessly drawing pure starlight, spiritual power of stars, and the celestial mechanism of the star Dao.​​

Once integrated into the spiritual veins of the Grotto Heaven and void, Stellar River Shattered Sand will continuously extract pure star essence, permeating mountain spiritual soil, spirit veins, and flora. It can allow the Grotto Heaven to birth a complete star spiritual vein system, interweaving and complementing with the sun and moon spirit veins, forming a perfect world pattern of sun, moon, and star light coexisting.

Nourished by the power of stars, the Grotto Heaven can give birth to Star Spirit Immortal Grass, Star Patterned Spirit Stones, Star Beasts. Cultivators residing inside can deduce celestial mechanisms through star orbits, stabilize their primordial spirit, refine their divine soul, and cultivate Star Dao Techniques with double the result using half the effort, making understanding the Star Formation Dao and life orbit more transparent.​

Moreover, Stellar River Shattered Sand inherently possesses the Power of Star Suppression, arranged at the boundary voids of Grotto Heaven, can form a natural Star Sand Boundary Array. Intersecting star orbits and star forces locking the void can stabilize space barriers, smoothen void fractures, and defend against external astral winds and demonic erosion.

Additionally, it can be paired with the Destiny Dao Pattern, to let star trajectories reflect the lifelines of all beings, greatly enhancing the capacity for celestial mechanism deductions and destiny calculations within the Grotto Heaven, making the entire world law system increasingly meticulous and perfect.​

For Jiang Fan’s Sun and Moon Cave Heaven, Stellar River Shattered Sand complements the deficiency in the pattern of "Sun and Moon devoid of stars," allowing the millions of miles of Grotto Heaven to truly achieve sun and moon suspended eternally, star river hanging in heaven, three lights illuminating universally, forming a top-grade Immortal Family Grotto Heaven state.

"Master, you’ve really benefit this time, you’ve truly benefit."

"This indeed is Nine Heavens Cloud Marrow, a rare treasure of the Immortal Realm."

"Even Golden Immortals covet it."

"If incorporated into the Pocket World, it can lay the foundation for the master’s ascension to Golden Immortal."

"Who knows how many thousands of year-long arduous cultivation can be saved."

"Never thought these three Celestial Immortal Clans would possess such treasures."

"Seems even Heavenly Immortals cannot be underestimated."

The Immortal Artifact Heaven-Stealing Claw said excitedly, as it is incredibly knowledgeable about various rare treasures of the Immortal Realm.

The so-called Nine Heavens Cloud Marrow, also known as Nine Heavens Rhythm Marrow, is the highest layer of innate spirit cloud of Nine Heavens and Nine Skies. It forms after billions of years of inhaling Taiqing Pure Qi, bathing in sun, moon, and star brilliance, layer by layer refining and purifying impurities, becoming the cloud Dao’s origin essence, and the supreme spiritual material of All Heavens Cloud Dao, Void Domain, and Qing Rhyme. It is the core treasure to construct the Grotto Heaven High Sky Divine Realm and Floating Immortal Realm.

Its substance is neither gas nor liquid, like cloud yet not fog, appearing as a transparent pale blue glazed color, with a texture that is warm and light, ethereal and fleeting, congealing yet not solidified and dissolving yet not dispersed.

In its normal state, it is a flowing vaporous cloud essence, with intricately exquisite and elegant Nine Heavens Dao rhyme patterns circling inside, naturally carrying an unsurpassed aura of Taiqing purity, high and far-reaching.

Holding it yields a gentle coolness, soft like clouds yet deeply embodying the order of heavenly heights, able to support mountains, stabilize floating entities, and imbue heavenly rhymes.

Nine Heavens Cloud Marrow primarily gathers celestial rhymes, forms cloud seas, creates floating realms, purifies the air, elevates Dao states. Once integrated into the upper void of the celestial canopy in Grotto Heaven, it can instantly transform the heavenly void domain structure, giving rise to an endless Nine Heavens Immortal Cloud Sea region.

The originally thin high-altitude void layer by layer generates heavy auspicious Nine Heavens Spirit Cloud, with a layered arrangement, high and low interspersed cloud sea layers, regenerating Cloud Palaces above the clouds, ascending layer by layer directly to the peak of Grotto Heaven, forming a majestic and vast Nine Heavens Cloud Realm.

The cloud sea formed by the Cloud Marrow is not ordinary cloud vapor; every wisp of cloud energy contains Nine Heavens Qing Rhyme Dao Power, able to automatically purify the impure, hostile, and karmic Qi within the Grotto Heaven, scouring away all chaotic and disordered spiritual power, making the heaven and earth’s aura within the entire Grotto Heaven increasingly pure, high, sacred and beyond worldly.

Year-round, the cloud sea descends Purifying Immortal Wind, blowing across all regions, smoothing earth vein disturbances, stabilizing the heavenly atmosphere, harmonizing Yin and Yang, Five Elements, making the Grotto Heaven’s four seasons mild, disasters and tribulations nonexistent, chaotic phenomena naturally dissipate.

The most mystical aspect is that Nine Heavens Cloud Marrow possesses the supreme application of floating domain generation.

Supported by the cloud marrow origin, the high sky of Grotto Heaven can spontaneously condense numerous Floating Immortal Islands, Floating Jade Platforms, Cloud Summit Immortal Palaces, Suspended Spirit Mountains. These floating Secret Realms root in the cloud sea, neither falling nor sinking, distributed layer upon layer in the high-altitude domain, corresponding with the ground mountains, underground spirit veins, celestial canopy with sun, moon, and star river above, constructing a complete four-layer structure of "underground spirit veins, ground mountains, high sky cloud domains, celestial dome star canopy at the top".

Meanwhile, Nine Heavens Cloud Marrow constantly disperses Nine Heavens Dao Patterns, vaguely ethereal, highly transcendent, merging with the dense Earth Dao Pattern, fierce Sun Pattern, cool Taiyin Pattern, deep Star River Pattern, profound Destiny Pattern, making the Dao rhyme layers of Grotto Heaven richer and more perfect.

Cultivators residing beneath the Nine Heavens Cloud Sea can attain Calm Heart and Enlightenment, shedding earthly restlessness, making the Dao Heart increasingly clear and ethereal; spirit plants grown under the cloud rhyme inherently possess noble immortal character; exotic beasts residing on Floating Immortal Islands are highly likely to awaken Ancient Celestial Bird and Cloud Dao Bloodline.

Once Jiang Fan integrated into the Great Thousand Grotto Heaven of Sun and Moon, the Nine Heavens Cloud Marrow thoroughly perfected the high sky system of the grotto heaven, transforming the entire great world to not only have vast lands, but also the ethereal Nine Heavens Cloud Sea, numerous Floating Immortal Realms, and boundless Heavenly Rhythm. Truly achieving a supreme perfect immortal family’s Great Thousand Grotto Heaven with the Nine Heavens Cloud Sea above, Sun and Moon Star River in the middle, and ten thousand veins of spiritual soil below.

"Master, your destiny is truly overflowing."

"Even Immortal Kings yearn for such a rare treasure, something that is virtually unattainable."

"Yet it’s amazing that the master has obtained it."

"However, it’s likely that even if those three Heavenly Immortals obtained such a treasure, they would be unable to enjoy it."

"That is probably why it has not been used up to this day."

The Immortal Artifact Heaven-Stealing Ladder said with great emotion.

Honestly, those Heavenly Immortals did not use it purely because their pocket worlds simply could not bear it.

The larger the pocket world, the better, naturally.

However, for ordinary Immortals, a massive pocket world is instead a burden to bear.

If the number of Heaven and Earth Laws comprehended is insufficient, a too-large pocket world might instead crush one’s soul, resulting in one’s demise.

In the past, some greedy immortals once risked devouring rare treasures of the Immortal Realm, but their Law comprehension was insufficient, and their entire pocket world shattered into pieces.

Therefore, without a solid foundation, even if one obtains some treasures of heaven and earth, they cannot be used at all.

One can only look on with envy.

"As they say, treasures belong to those destined for them."

"Evidently, I am that destined person."

"Luoning City is not suitable for cultivation; returning to the Time Sect for training is best."

Jiang Fan’s eyes revealed a trace of excitement.

Even if one becomes a City Lord, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have to stay in the city.

In fact, many newly appointed City Lords also return to the Heavenly Immortal City of the Time Sect for cultivation.

After all, the cultivation environment of the Time Sect is vastly superior, and the flow of time is a hundred times faster.

This greatly accelerates the growth of Heavenly Immortals.

As long as one leaves an avatar in the city to handle various affairs, it is entirely sufficient.

Of course, if any issue arises, one must return immediately.

Otherwise, it would be considered dereliction of duty and surely punished.

However, this is only something new Heavenly Immortals would do.

If it’s a veteran Heavenly Immortal, they rarely return to the Time Sect.

For they have long hit a bottleneck, and even if they return to the Time Sect, their cultivation would not advance much further, instead squandering their lifespan.

Instead of returning to the Time Sect, searching for opportunities outside is better.

Only new Heavenly Immortals, still in a period of rapid growth, would frequently return to the Time Sect for cultivation.

Whoosh!

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan hesitated not a moment longer, immediately scouring the treasures here and placing everything into his pocket world, then took the Teleportation Array back to the residence in the Heavenly Immortal City of the Time Sect.

At the same time, he also left an avatar to manage various affairs in Luoning City.
