Chapter 343: Chapter 275 Yellow Stone Mountain, Land of Sword Relics_2
Inside, there was indeed a difference in numbers, but the strength of the star devices was undoubtedly higher than that of the skill star cards.
Zheng Chunsheng led Su Yuan to the stone gate, flipped his hand, and took out a talisman, activating it.
Accompanied by a burst of light, the ten-zhang-tall green stone gate slowly opened.
“Generally speaking, after academy students apply to enter the Land of Sword Relics, they have to wait for a period to gather enough people before entering together. It’s very rare to open for just one person.”
Zheng Chunsheng said, forming a few seal techniques with a raised hand and pointing toward Su Yuan.
A wisp of clear energy, the size of a forefinger, then flew down to the back of Su Yuan’s left hand.
“Teacher Zheng, is this the artifact guide?”
“Yes, this is the artifact guide for a blue top-grade star device. Among all the blue star devices produced in the Land of Sword Relics over the years, it ranks in the top ten. It is far more valuable than the Sea Returning Saber that Qi Tian took away last year! Originally, it was meant to be a reward for the national competition champion. However, now that you have repelled the people from Qiguang, which is of extraordinary significance, it surpasses the impact of the national competition! So, this artifact guide is given to you. As for whether you can subdue this star device, it’s up to you.”
“Thank you, academy.” Su Yuan looked at the clear energy artifact guide on the back of his hand, which kept spinning like a chaotic compass. After a brief contemplation, he turned to ask, “But Teacher Zheng, I still want to ask, how do you generally select a star device without an artifact guide?”
Zheng Chunsheng was taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, “I was being narrow-minded. Indeed, although this star device is of extremely high quality, you don’t necessarily have to take it.
Zheng Chunsheng originally thought that with this top-grade star device, Su Yuan would definitely go for it.
Now, with Su Yuan asking, Zheng Chunsheng realized that he might not necessarily have to choose this one.
What suits you best is the right one.
Zheng Chunsheng slowly said, “Without an artifact guide, generally, the deeper into the secret realm you go, the rarer star devices you can find.
By coming into contact with the star devices, you can get a rough idea of their strength. After that, by defeating the ‘Artifact Holder’ in the ‘Sword Heart Space,’ you can gain the star device’s recognition.
Although you can only take out one star device in the end, you can change your choice midway.
The Land of Sword Relics is vast, and the secret realm energy consumption is quite significant. Generally, the Land of Sword Relics will not be open for more than six hours. According to Dean Cai’s instructions, you will be given an entire day this time.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan nodded secretly. Being able to change choices was good. It wasn’t like at the Ten Thousand Demon Sleeping Ground, where once you made your choice, you would be teleported out.
Zheng Chunsheng said, “Alright, you can go in now. I’ll wait for you here.”
“Thank you for waiting, Teacher.” Su Yuan bowed.
Zheng Chunsheng waved his hand, “It’s not a bother. I’ll cultivate here as well.”
Su Yuan nodded, looked at the green stone gate, and stepped inside.
The scenery changed before his eyes, and when Su Yuan could see clearly again, the scene before him was utterly different.
A desolate view stretched out before him. A sense of bleak killing intent hit his face, stinging his skin.
Looking around, he could see weapons stuck in the ground everywhere; swords, spears, axes, halberds, hooks, and forks… all kinds of weapons.
However, most of these star devices were incomplete; very few were intact. One could imagine the kind of fierce battles they had gone through!
All the star devices in the Land of Sword Relics were summoned by the great ancestor of Great Flame from an ancient battlefield using divine skills and created this place.
Apart from the ancient star devices that could still be used, most of them were completely damaged weapons.
Despite the Land of Sword Relics being able to repair and nourish star devices, it was powerless against the completely damaged ones.
Su Yuan stepped forward, scanning the star devices stuck around the ground.
Because he had engaged in making the Phoenix Perch Saber, he had discussed a lot with Situ Qingyin, and consequently, Su Yuan had gained a good understanding of materials.
Looking closely, even the green star devices scattered on the ground contained third-level materials.
“During ancient times, the supply of heavenly materials and earthly treasures was indeed limitless…” Su Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.
Nowadays, because of the preciousness of materials, the basic requirement for refining green star devices was to use all second-stage materials.
Su Yuan looked up and saw that the entire Land of Sword Relics resembled a dilapidated ancient battleground, vast and boundless, with no end in sight.
Fortunately, time was ample. Su Yuan proceeded while concentrating on sensing the undamaged star devices along the way.

Under the rules of the secret realm in the Land of Sword Relics, all star devices were analyzed. By focusing intently on sensing them, one could view their information.
However, with the star devices in the Land of Sword Relics spread far and wide, such a method of investigation would take who-knows-how-long.
