He was reborn, returning to his miserable starting point in high school, where he was strung along and treated as a servile dog by the school beauty.

In his previous life, his humble efforts ...

Chapter 212 The Second Star Compendium

"They resonated with each other," Zhang Jingtian explained. "The three Star Mirrors, which the Star Soul Lord separated from his own body, were originally one. Later, they were distributed among the three major families for safekeeping, and they still resonate with each other."

Dongfang Wantang added, "When enough star mirrors are gathered, it might trigger a stronger reaction. Grandpa said that if all three star mirrors are collected, there will be unexpected changes."

Han Feng carefully separated the two star mirrors, and their brightness gradually returned to normal. However, when he tried to inject the power of stars into the Zhang family star mirror, a powerful backlash suddenly pushed him away, and he took three steps back before regaining his balance.

"Sorry, sorry!" Zhang Jingtian quickly slapped his forehead, his gray beard trembling with the movement. "To prevent the Star Mirror from being stolen, our Zhang family has always placed protective formations on it."

Han Feng rubbed his chest, which felt tight, and said irritably, "Couldn't you have told me about this beforehand?"

Zhang Jingtian chuckled as he accepted the Star Mirror, his withered fingers rapidly tracing several complex runes across its bronze surface. With a soft sound, the fine lines that appeared on the Star Mirror's surface unfolded as if alive, then gradually faded away.

"The restriction has been lifted." The old man solemnly handed the Star Compendium back. "Please try again, Star Master."

Han Feng took a deep breath and took the ancient artifact, which carried a thousand-year mission, back again. This time, when he slowly infused it with the power of the stars, he did not suffer any backlash. The Star Mirror, like a thirsty sponge, greedily absorbed every wisp of energy, and the star map on its surface began to light up one by one.

Suddenly, the barrier set up by Dongfang Wantang trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the air. Her expression changed drastically, and she rapidly formed hand seals: "The barrier is about to collapse!"

The two star mirrors in Han Feng's hands simultaneously erupted with dazzling light, the light weaving in the air like tangible ribbons.

The entire living room was illuminated as if it were daytime, and the clutter in the room swirled and churned in the energy storm. Han Feng felt an unprecedented surge of immense power coursing through his arms and into his body, causing every meridian to ache painfully.

"This..." He gritted his teeth, his legs feeling as heavy as lead. The two star mirrors were incredibly heavy, yet they were firmly attached to his palms like magnets.

Zhang Jingtian's eyes widened, his cloudy pupils reflecting the brilliance of stars.

A visible energy ripple exploded outwards from Han Feng. Dongfang Wantang's barrier shattered like glass, and she herself was thrown back several steps by the shockwave, landing on the sofa.

Han Feng's vision was completely filled with starlight. In this dazzling spectacle, he seemed to see an endless galaxy flowing before him, every star bowing down to him. A realization deep within his blood suddenly became clear—these stars were, after all, his territory.

"Welcome, Lord of Star Souls!"

Zhang Jingtian's trembling voice pulled Han Feng back to reality. The old man had knelt on one knee, his forehead almost touching the ground, his posture devout to the point of humility. His gray beard fluttered in the remaining energy winds, yet his eyes burned with the fervor of a young man.

"I am Zhang Jingtian of the Zhang family, and I am willing to go through fire and water for the Star Lord, even unto death!"

Han Feng looked down at his hands. The two star mirrors had returned to calm, but tiny starlight still shimmered on the surface of his skin. An indescribable pressure emanated from him, making even the air seem to freeze.

Dongfang Wantang barely managed to stand, her gaze towards Han Feng filled with complex emotions. She had personally witnessed him subdue the Dongfang family's Star Mirror, but compared to his power now, it was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

"Han Feng..." she called softly, but her voice trailed off. Because in that instant, she saw his pupils turn into a deep blue like the starry sky, with twinkling stars within.

This strange phenomenon lasted only a few seconds. Han Feng blinked, and his domineering aura receded like the tide. He looked around blankly: "What... just happened?"

Zhang Jingtian remained kneeling on the ground. Upon hearing this, he raised his head, tears streaming down his face: "Star Lord, you are unaware that the 'Starfall' phenomenon triggered by the resonance of the two mirrors is an extraordinary occurrence—the reappearance of the Star Soul Lord!"

Dongfang Wantang walked over, rubbing her sore shoulder, a rare look of awe on her face: "The way you were just now... it was like you were a completely different person. Our Dongfang family's ancestral teachings state that only a true Star Soul Master can control the immense energy of this Star Mirror."

Han Feng held the two Star Mirrors in his hands. With a mere thought, the surging power within him immediately began to subside. He suddenly realized a problem: "If two Star Mirrors can trigger this phenomenon, what would happen if all three were collected?"

The study suddenly fell silent. Zhang Jingtian and Dongfang Wantang exchanged a glance, and finally the old man slowly spoke: "It is said that 'when the three stars gather, the heavenly gate opens.' Even the Taoist concept of 'the three flowers gathering at the top' would likely require avoiding its sharp edge."

"Grandpa guessed that it might open some kind of spatial passage," Dongfang Wantang added, her eyes flashing with a mixture of anticipation and fear. "But we still haven't found the Star Soul Lord, so..."

A sudden rumble of thunder outside the window interrupted her explanation. The once clear night sky had become overcast, with lightning flashing intermittently among the clouds.

"It seems today's commotion has attracted considerable attention." Zhang Jingtian rose solemnly. "Star Lord, I suggest you carefully store the two Star Mirrors. According to the information left by the previous Star Soul Lord, it seems that forces outside of Blue Star are quite wary of your existence."

Zhang Jingtian's aged face appeared particularly grave in the lightning: "At the last meeting of the three families, that old fox Shangguan Ce played coy the whole time. I had someone secretly investigate, and they discovered that his granddaughter, Shangguan Mingyue, has been frequently in contact with Mu Xiaoxiao recently."

"Shangguan Mingyue?" Han Feng raised an eyebrow.

Dongfang Wantang snorted: "That's right, this woman is Shangguan Ce's granddaughter. I've been wondering why she's been acting so strangely lately. Normally, the children of ancient martial arts families shouldn't easily enter or leave the secular world, but she's been going in and out quite frequently lately."

"It seems some people can't wait any longer." Han Feng stood up and walked to the window, the power of stars flowing deep within his pupils. "Elder Zhang, you just said that the forces outside Blue Star are wary of the Star Soul Master?"

Zhang Jingtian and Dongfang Wantang exchanged a glance: "Star Lord, you may not know this, but the previous Star Soul Lord led the three great families to repel invaders from outer space. Those beings..." The old man's voice lowered, "...seemed to be quite wary of the Star Soul Lord's abilities, especially the Star Mirror passed down by the Star Soul Lord. However, due to some kind of energy, they cannot truly descend upon Blue Star."

After pondering for a moment, Han Feng said to Dongfang Wantang, "Wantang, can you help me deduce the location of the Shangguan family's Star Mirror?"
