Chapter 603: Rules Flexibility

Jing Yu's spiritual thoughts probed into the [Calculation Platform], and his consciousness immediately entered a starry sky sand table. The two main stars were facing each other from afar, and each main star was surrounded by densely packed satellites.

Nine crimson meteorites were hanging above the main star. Jing Yu only felt that as long as he moved his mind, the meteorites could be shot out instantly.

The Star Palace Tower Spirit on the opposite side has built an iron wall - the Azure Main Star is guarded by 36 satellites, forming a standard "Tian Gang Formation".

"The rules are simple."

Jing Yu chuckled, his spiritual thoughts surged out like a tide. One of the meteorites soared into the sky, leaving a dazzling red light in the void, just as a test.

The moment the first meteorite smashed into three satellites, Jing Yu's pupils suddenly shrank - the flying fragments were actually captured by the gravity of the surrounding satellites, and instead strengthened the defense of the seven nearby satellites!

"boom!"

The Star Palace Tower Spirit’s counterattack is here.

Two meteorites came in a horn-like shape. Jing Yu hastily mobilized satellites to intercept them, but saw that the two meteorites from the other side actually collided with each other, erupting with huge energy, destroying more than ten satellites around Jing Yu's side.

"Can this still happen?"

"This tower spirit's intelligence is not low!"

This was Jing Yu's first time playing [Meteor Chess], so naturally he didn't expect to win in one game. Instead, he wanted to learn from his opponent and carefully observed the skills of [Star Palace Tower Spirit] in manipulating satellites and meteorites.

A quarter of an hour later, Jing Yu's side's [Main Star] was destroyed by the seventh meteorite of [Star Palace Tower Spirit], and the game was lost.

His mind withdrew, but there was no sign of dejection on his face. Instead, he reviewed the game carefully and continued to play another game with great interest.

"The rules of Meteorite Chess aren't complex. It's more of a test of one's divine sense and arithmetic skills. My divine sense is far stronger than cultivators of the same rank, and while my arithmetic skills are a bit better than average, they're still nowhere near the level of Yun Xuance, Yang Dingfeng, and the like. This is a good opportunity to make up for my shortcomings in that area."

Jing Yu thought secretly in his heart.

It took him more than an hour to finally win the Meteorite Chess game on the first level of the arithmetic platform, which made the Star Ape beside him secretly wonder:

"Strange... Of the three tests in the Liu Yao Xing Palace, the martial arts test is the easiest, the math test is average, and the most difficult is the divination test."

"This kid is amazing. He passed by the divination platform in a flash, but stayed at this calculation platform for a long time... Could it be that the gap between his divination and calculation skills is really as huge as the difference between heaven and earth?"

Jing Yu looked normal. He passed all three tests on the first floor and obtained a total of [16] Star Points. So he did not stay for long and went straight to the second floor of the Star Palace Tower.

----

[Year 944 of the Changsheng calendar]

Jing Yu exited the Starry Sky Sandbox and breathed a sigh of relief. "Huh... This tenth level of [Meteoric Chess] is truly difficult to solve... It took me two full years!"

After four years, Jing Yu finally passed all the tests on the ten levels of the Star Palace Tower, and his star points accumulated to [3,879].

Except for using [one] star point to exchange for [Introduction to the Art of Six-Line Divination], all other star points have not been used.

"amazing!"

The Star Ape beside him laughed and said, "Young friend Xuan Jing is truly a rare genius among the countless small worlds. In just four years, he has completed all the trials of the ten-story Star Palace Tower..."

"As a fellow cultivator from the Immortal Continent, Xiao Guanying, who lived a thousand years ago, spent ten years and only managed to reach the seventh level."

Jing Yu shook his head: "It was just luck."

He wasn't being modest when he said this. After all, he had cracked the most difficult Divination test in the entire Star Palace Tower by burning his life and kryptonian life, which was almost the same as cheating. It would be strange if he still couldn't come out on top.

The Star Ape said, "Is there any treasure inheritance you'd like to exchange for? The list of treasures in this Star Palace treasury is so densely packed that it would be difficult to choose right away. Why don't you tell me, the old ape, what you need and let me help you choose it directly."

Jing Yu was not in a hurry to spend his Star Points. Instead, he looked serious and whispered:

"Senior Xingyuan, I have a favor to ask, but I'm afraid it might be a little awkward for you... I don't know how to begin."

Star Ape looked surprised and waved his hand: "What's the matter? Tell me, if I can do it, I won't refuse!"

Jing Yu said solemnly, "Senior, did [Suying Tianjun] Xiao Guanying use the [Six-Yao Star Tracker] in the Six-Yao Star Palace a thousand years ago to calculate his future path?"

"Of course! This matter was handled by me, the old ape. How could I not remember it?" said the Star Ape.

"Can I use my Star Points to exchange for some information?"

Xing Yuan vaguely guessed something and was speechless: "You...you want to..."

Jing Yu said in a deep voice, "I want to know what path Xiao Guanying deduced back then!"

"That won't do."

The Star Ape shook his head, a rare gesture, like a rattle. "Path deduction is a private matter for cultivators. Star officials like us shouldn't reveal the results to others. This is truly against the rules."

"If the boss of the old ape [Six Yao Xing Palace] knew about this, he would be punished."

Jing Yu's heart sank. He came here to figure out a crucial issue. If the Star Ape didn't cooperate, he would be helpless.

"But then again!"

Unexpectedly, Xing Yuan changed the subject: "Rules are dead, but apes are alive."

"Can a living ape be killed by holding its urine?"

The originally gloomy Star Ape instantly put on a smile and said with a grin:

"The [Star Palace Treasury] is a secret treasury connecting the entire [Six Yao Star Palace]. According to the rules, any Star Palace disciple can hand in treasures in exchange for rewards."

"In other words, Old Ape, I can completely list one of my treasures in the [Star Palace Treasury], and then you can buy it by spending [Star Yuan Points]."

After Xing Yuan finished speaking, he took out a jade slip and threw it into the air.

A crack suddenly appeared on the top of the tower, sucking the jade slip in.

The next moment, Jing Yu discovered that there was suddenly a jade slip named [Star Ape Diary] added to the treasure list of [Star Palace Treasure House], and the price was [one hundred] Star Yuan Points.

He spent one hundred star points to buy the jade slip without hesitation. The moment the star points were deducted, another crack appeared on the top of the tower, and the jade slip that the star ape had just thrown out was spit out and fell into Jing Yu's hands.

The Star Ape said leisurely, "This is the diary I wrote when I descended into the Immortal Continent over a thousand years ago to spread the Star Palace's heritage... The Star Palace doesn't have a rule prohibiting Star Officials from recording their daily lives!"

Jing Yu bowed gratefully, flipped through the jade slip in his hand, and quickly found the information he was looking for:

"In the 3156th year of my tour, I descended upon the small world [Xianzhou] and activated the Six-Line Star Tracking Instrument for the Jindan cultivator [Xiao Guanying] to calculate and deduce the path to the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation stages. The results are as follows..."
