Yun'er quickly regained her composure, gently tapping her forehead with her hand. "I was so silly! We couldn't leave before because we were waiting for you to return. Now that you're back, of course, we're going with you!"

"Go with me? But aren't you unable to leave this Star World?"

During their conversation, Woo Zhengyang had learned that Yun'er and her companions couldn't withstand the Purifying Rain. One of their sisters had ventured out once, and upon returning, her body began to deteriorate rapidly. Fortunately, as flower spirits, their essence remained in the Hundred Flower World, but even so, her powers declined, forcing her to start over.

In this Star World, however, they could advance to the Martial King Stage without issue. This world could resist the Purifying Rain, something other small worlds couldn't achieve, not even Woo Zhengyang's Ice Crystal Fire Hall.

So when Yun'er mentioned leaving, Woo Zhengyang was understandably skeptical.

"Yes, I can't leave this world, but you, with the Star Bead, can break the seal of the Star World and take the entire world with you!"

"Take the entire Star World with me?" Woo Zhengyang was astonished.

"Yeah, don't forget, your wife is still here. Are you planning to abandon her?"

"What do you mean by abandon..." Woo Zhengyang felt a bit embarrassed. "I don't even know if I can leave safely myself, let alone take such a vast Star World with me."

"Vast? You might not know, but the core of this Star World is the Star Bead. If you fully control the Star Bead, you can store the entire world inside it. It's not like your Ice Crystal Fire Hall that fits into a spiritual space, but carrying it around wouldn't be too much, right?"

"How is that possible? Such a large world can fit into the Star Bead?"

Woo Zhengyang had learned about these small worlds before. In the previous Heavenly Martial Realm and the small world within the Azure Sun Martial Mansion, carrying them around was impossible. Not to mention, this Star World contains so many smaller worlds.

"The Star Bead is a rare treasure of the world. This world can withstand the cleansing rain because of the Star Bead's power. Nothing is impossible."

"Then why didn't the Star Pavilion's master take the Star Bead when leaving?"

"When the great calamity struck, the situation was extremely dangerous. The master and the Palace Lord were very cautious, wanting to leave a way out for themselves and you, so they sealed this world here."

“How should I proceed?”

“Well, Yun'er isn't sure. The method to control the Star Bead should be inside it. You'll have to figure it out on your own.”

“Alright, I'll take a look.”

Woo Zhengyang approached the Star Bead once more. As always, it floated in mid-air, crystal clear and slowly rotating.

As he focused his mind on it, a familiar sensation washed over him, making him feel as if he were one with the entire world. The entire Star World was under his control. He could even alter the position and shape of each small Hundred Flower World, yet he couldn't change the size of the Star World or draw it into the Star Bead.

Deciding not to force it, Woo Zhengyang stood before the Star Bead, pondering...

Half an hour passed, and Woo Zhengyang suddenly opened his eyes. It dawned on him that he might have been approaching this the wrong way. Since the Star Bead was the core, and the entire Star World could be drawn into it, the key must lie within the Star Bead itself, not the Star World.

“What’s inside the Star Bead? Can I enter it?”

With this thought, Woo Zhengyang placed his hand on the Star Bead and focused his mind. In the next moment, his body was drawn into the Star Bead!

When Woo Zhengyang opened his eyes, he found himself in a truly mysterious place. It was a simple courtyard, almost rustic, with a thatched cottage, a picket fence, and a stone path. Everything seemed ordinary.

What was extraordinary, however, was that this courtyard floated in a realm of chaos.

Stepping into the thatched cottage, he found it equally simple yet impeccably clean. It was furnished with basic necessities like tables, chairs, pots, and pans, resembling a humble country home.

Of course, this was just an appearance. Woo Zhengyang knew better than to believe it was merely a country home. The fact that this small courtyard existed within the Star Bead was enough to capture his attention.

On the wooden table inside the cottage, a simple letter caught Woo Zhengyang's eye. It was unsealed and unsigned, so he naturally opened it.

The letter was left by the master of the Star Pavilion. Upon reading it, Woo Zhengyang understood why it lacked a signature; the master hadn't named his child yet. He couldn't even be sure that the person who would eventually find this place would be his child.

The letter's message was straightforward, expressing a hope that whoever ultimately controlled the Star Bead would treat Yun'er and others kindly. It also included instructions on how to fully master the Star Bead.

Woo Zhengyang had hoped to find some clues in the letter that might reveal his connection to the Star Pavilion, but he found nothing.

With a single thought, Woo Zhengyang found himself back in his previous position. Following the method described in the letter, he placed his hand on the Star Bead. A radiant glow of seven colors appeared, and once again, his surroundings shifted. He was now at the edge of the Bewilderment Dragon Stream within the Misty Mountain Range, and the Star Bead had transformed into a crystal pendant hanging from his hand.

This crystal pendant was the true form of the Star Bead, originally crafted by the master of the Star Pavilion for his wife. Woo Zhengyang marveled at the exquisite craftsmanship of the pendant, which, despite its simplicity, held a world of wonders. He admired the dedication of the Star Pavilion master and the unique nature of the Star Bead, which contained an entire Star World within, yet appeared so small.

Without the support of the Star World, the formations within the Misty Mountain Range lost their power, and the age-old mist began to thin and gradually dissipate, revealing the true landscape of the mountains. Woo Zhengyang, merely conducting an experiment, knew he couldn't leave just yet, so he released the Star World once more.

As the Star World emerged, the formations of the Misty Mountain Range reactivated, and the mist that had started to fade thickened and rose again...
