Chapter 0675 Stellar Spirit Fairy

Qin Yun knew that if the Sun Moon Heart Sutra cultivation went wrong, the weaker cultivator would suffer the most severe injuries.

As for someone like Bingxing, even if something went wrong, she’d remain unharmed.

Now, Qin Yun nervously stretched out his palms.

Bingxing grasped his hands, locking fingers tightly with him.

Qin Yun had always found it strange—Bingxing primarily wielded icy power, yet her hands were always warm, soft, and so pleasant to touch, completely at odds with her cold exterior.

"Qin Yun, close your eyes and empty your mind! The Dual Cultivation I'm performing with you here is entirely different from what you've experienced before!"

Bingxing’s calm, ethereal voice reached him: "I’m now cultivating mental energy with you. You must cooperate with me!"

Qin Yun was worried about failure, as Bingxing had been prejudiced against him, even holding a grudge.

Cultivating the Sun Moon Heart Sutra required mutual trust between both parties.

Fortunately, the warmth of Bingxing’s hands gave him a sense of reassurance.

Gradually, Qin Yun emptied his mind.

Soon, he fell asleep.

When he awoke, he found himself in a vast space surrounded by ice formations of every kind—far larger than the Immortal Armory Hall.

"Wh-where is this?" Qin Yun exclaimed in surprise upon opening his eyes.

"This is within my Illusory Space!" Bingxing tightened her grip on his hands and chided, "Calm down. We’ve successfully entered the Dual Cultivation state!"

"Really? That’s great!" Qin Yun laughed happily. "Sister Bingxing, it seems you do trust me deep down!"

"Don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m only genuinely helping you break through so you can save Yang Shiyue!" Bingxing lightly snorted. "Now, I’ll help you control the Stellar Force to strengthen your Spirit Starcrystal!"

Qin Yun wasn't sure why, but he was genuinely happy that Bingxing had succeeded in Dual Cultivation with him—at the very least, it meant she trusted him.

Such mutual trust was precious.

Qin Yun quieted down, asking no more questions, and cooperated with Bingxing as she guided the flow of Stellar Force.

Ling Yuner said, "Xiao Yun, you’re essentially in a dream within a dream! The Celestial Armory Illusory Realm is an illusory realm, and now you’ve entered Bingxing’s dream from within it. This is a miraculous state that allows you to connect with your mental energy on a deeper level!"

"Sounds complicated, and I don’t really get it. But it’s not a bad thing, right?" Qin Yun asked.

"Of course not!" Ling Yuner chuckled. "Xiao Yun, Sister Bingxing might have special feelings for you—that’s why she trusts you so much! You could try to win her over!"

"Don’t talk nonsense. It’s only because I’ve earned the trust of Yuelan and Sister Yang that Sister Bingxing trusts me too. There’s definitely no such emotion involved!" Qin Yun protested.

"We’ll see!" Ling Yuner teased.

Qin Yun didn’t believe Bingxing had any feelings for him. He felt too guilty toward her—after all, his past life had caused her to be sealed away for so long.

Though Qin Yun was in the Celestial Armory Illusory Realm and had entered Bingxing’s Illusory Space through this special method, he could still absorb tremendous amounts of Stellar Force.

The Star Dao Pills and Yuanling Mystic Pills continuously released immense amounts of unique mental energy, flowing into Qin Yun’s Spirit Starcrystal.

"Qin Yun, because I’m on the Sun Moon Celestial Bed and you’ve entered my Illusory Space, you’re effectively within the Sun Moon Space-Time Realm. This will grant you more time for cultivation!" Bingxing explained.

"This is incredible!" Qin Yun exclaimed with a laugh. He could now sense that Bingxing was guiding his psychic energy with remarkable ease.

What surprised him was that a third type of energy was also flowing into his Spirit Starcrystal!

Besides the energies from the Star Dao Pill and Yuanling Mystic Pill, there was another unique and powerful psychic force—one reminiscent of Stellar Force but significantly stronger.

Just as Qin Yun was puzzling over this, Ling Yuner blurted out, "Xiao Yun, Sister Bingxing isn't human!"

"Yun'er, what are you talking about? Sister Bingxing may have had a grudge against my past life, but she's been very kind to me in this life!" Qin Yun replied.

"I mean she’s not one of us—she’s not human!" Ling Yuner sounded excited, as if she had just made a thrilling discovery. "Don’t you find that third energy strange and unusual?"

"It *is* strange—it might be Stellar Force… Maybe Sister Bingxing can transform her consciousness into a star or moon form? Her psychic energy has traits like that, so it’s not surprising," Qin Yun reasoned.

"No, no, no! If it were a star or moon transformation, it wouldn’t feel like this! Her psychic energy carries intense Stellar Force! Do you realize what that means?" Ling Yuner said. "Also, the star core you obtained earlier was instantly modified by her to release icy power!"

Qin Yun thought for a moment and found it odd too. He quickly asked, "Then what does this mean?"

"Sister Bingxing is a Star Spirit!" Ling Yuner exclaimed joyfully. "She and I are kindred spirits—we’re of the same nature!"

Qin Yun looked baffled. "But Yun'er, you can’t leave my illusory space!"

"That’s because I’m the Dao Spirit of the Nether Sun Martial Soul... while Sister Bingxing is the Star Spirit of a celestial body. She must have cultivated a human heart!" Ling Yuner explained. "The star that nurtured her must be an ice star!"

Qin Yun pondered carefully and felt secretly amazed.

"And that ice star must be extraordinary—it’s still in the sky!" Ling Yuner continued. "Her disdain for the Demon Star Overlord earlier was because she herself is a powerful Star Spirit!"

"So, she must be extremely strong, right?" Qin Yun asked.

"She used to be, but... Star Spirits are extremely rare, especially ones as powerful as her. Many formidable beings seek them out. She mentioned her strength has weakened, which means her star was either damaged or sealed!" Ling Yuner said.

Qin Yun felt a pang of dread—he suspected his past life might have been responsible.

"Can I find her star in the Spirit Wasteland?" Qin Yun asked.

"Nonsense! She’s from the Immortal Wasteland. Her star must be there," Ling Yuner replied. "You’ll have to wait until you reach the Immortal Wasteland to learn more!"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Qin Yun gazed at the celestially beautiful Bingxing.

Bingxing was also watching him, her eyes cold.

"Bingxing-jie... are you a Star Spirit?" Qin Yun suddenly asked.

"You... how did you know?" Bingxing trembled, completely stunned. "Even your past self didn’t know this!"

Qin Yun felt slightly relieved—at least his past life hadn’t harmed her star.

"I... just figured it out!" Qin Yun said. "Your energy bears some resemblance to the star core power of that Demon Star Overlord, though he’s only a Star Demon."

"How much do you actually know about Star Spirits?" Bingxing asked urgently.

"Well, I'll be honest with you. I’ve mastered numerous StarMoon Sigils, mainly through a sect I was part of called the Sigil Sect!" Qin Yun explained. "That’s how I came to pick up knowledge about Star Spirits. Bingxing-jie, don’t you have a star in the sky?"

"That star is gone. If it weren’t, my power would be far greater," Bingxing said.

"Wait, what happened to it?" Qin Yun asked quickly.

"I don’t know. Once it was discovered, it drew too much attention. The star was simply too massive—I couldn’t hide it. There was no hiding it, and even if I tried, it would be discovered anyway."

"During my sealing, I lost contact with it, but I know my star still shines in the Star River of the Immortal Wasteland!"

Bingxing spoke of this matter, her eyes brimming with sorrow.

"Did someone hide it?" Qin Yun saw the sadness in Bingxing's eyes, and his heart ached too.

"The one who hid my star must wield tremendous power. Through that star, they can find me—and even control me. That's why I need the Nine Cycles Celestial Power. Only by becoming stronger can I break free from their control and reclaim my star!" Bingxing said indignantly.

Qin Yun sighed softly. "If only I had great strength, I could go to the Immortal Wasteland and help you!"

"Just focus on your training! When you reach the Immortal Wasteland, the troubles you face will be far greater than mine!" Bingxing gave a light hum.

In the following days, Bingxing dedicated herself to helping Qin Yun, guiding him through mental energy training.

Soon, nearly a year passed within Bingxing's illusionary realm.

Bingxing frowned deeply. "You've reached an impasse, and I don't know why."

She released Qin Yun's hand and added, "Clear your mind and try to sense what's happening."

Qin Yun closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, observing the glistening purple star—his Spirit Starcrystal—which had grown significantly larger, yet had not transformed into a moon.

"Xiao Yun, your situation is quite unique... You might need someone with the Lunar Martial Spirit to guide your moon transformation!" Ling Yuner said.

"My mental energy has strengthened considerably, but I still can't open the third pearl of the Nine Sun Divine Pouch." Qin Yun felt a little disappointed. For now, he could only wait and see.

Still inside Bingxing's illusionary realm, he unknowingly remained asleep for several days, immersed in his Spirit Starcrystal.

Bingxing watched over Qin Yun the entire time, guarding against any unexpected cultivation accidents. As she gazed at his handsome face, she slowly reached out and gently caressed it.

Though they were in an illusionary space, the sensation felt incredibly real—so much so that Qin Yun could distinctly feel Bingxing's smooth hand stroking his cheek.

"Xiao Yun, she's got the hots for you, teehee..." Ling Yuner suddenly giggled mischievously.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Qin Yun didn't believe that at all. He quickly opened his eyes and saw Bingxing's hand resting on his face.

Bingxing hastily withdrew her hand and turned away, her back facing Qin Yun.

"Bingxing-jie, what were you... doing just now?" Qin Yun couldn't read her mind.

"I was examining the state of your Spirit Starcrystal. Over these past few days, have you discovered anything?" Bingxing asked in her characteristically cool tone.
