Walker Of The Worlds

Hearing Xukong's words, Lin Mu was intrigued.

"A Star Shard?" Lin Mu could make out the meaning but knew there was a lot more than just that.

"Yes, it is quite literally a shard from a star… or more accurately, a dead star." Xukong explained further.

"Huh… but why is it… like this?" Lin Mu looked at the strange shard in the center.

"Well, Star Shards are formed when either a star dies or is destroyed. And when that happens, a fraction of their characteristics are left behind in these shards. They can be of various types." Xukong replied.

"Like Fire?" Lin Mu asked.

"Indeed. Those are the most common types of Star Shards. Fire Star Shards are abundant and can be found in many places. Then there are Yang Star Shards, that are full of pure Yang energy of the stars." Xukong replied.

"If so… then what is this?" Lin Mu looked at the swirling black and purple energy.

"That is possibly the most terrifying aspect of a star… Gravity! That is a Gravity Star Shard and is considered the most dangerous. They are also very rare, and many times aren't even formed.

And even if they do, they have limited lifespans. Eventually, they run out of energy and disappear." Xukong explained in detail.

"I see… but then considering that the Great Meteorite Wall came into existence over a hundred thousand years ago… how is the Gravity Star Shard still active?" Lin Mu questioned.

"From what we know, the Gravity Star Shard was kept sealed for a long time. The murals show that. And the seal was lifted, which possibly caused the Great Meteorite Wall to form. But have you thought, why aren't there anymore meteorites falling here?" Xukong asked instead.

"Hmm… I don't know. Considering that gravity was strong enough to pull them from the atmosphere back then, it should still be pulling them. And yet it's not… I guess it actually got weaker?" Lin Mu replied after thinking.

"Exactly," Xukong responded. "It is highly likely that it expended a lot of its energy in pulling and compressing all those meteorites into a wall. That limited its range of effect and now it is at its current level."

"Then how long do you think this Gravity Star Shard will last Senior?" Lin Mu asked in doubt.

"It will depend on the situation in this area. If it continues to stay here, I don't think it'll last more than a thousand years. But if it's sealed again, it might be able to last for another hundred thousand years." Xukong estimated.

"Hmmm…" This put Lin Mu in deep thought as he wondered if he could make use of this. "Since the tribes fought over this shard… It can be used for something right?" he asked.

"Of course. Star Shards are considered treasures, albeit very dangerous ones. Even Peak Immortals can barely use them. And even if they do, it is usually common star shards like the Fire or Yang Star Shards.

At least those can be resisted by suitable Dao Embryos. But for something like the Gravity Star Shards, they can very easily result in a painful death." Xukong warned.
