Synopsis : In the Province of the Nine Skies, far above the heavens, there exists Nine Galaxies of Astral Rivers made up of countless constellations interwoven together. For Martial Cultivators, they could form an innate link with one of the constellations, awaken their Astral Soul, and transform into a Stellar Martial Cultivator.
Legend has it that, the strongest cultivators in the Province of the Nine Skies, were beings that could open an astral gate every time they advanced into a new realm. Their talent in cultivation was such that they could even establish innate links with constellations that existed in a layer higher than the Nine Layers of Heavens, eventually transforming into the heaven-defying and earth-shattering power known as the War God of the Nine Heavens.
Qin Wentian is the MC of this story. How could a guy, with a broken set of meridians, successfully cultivate? There were countless Stellar Martial Cultivators, as there were countless constellations in the vast starry skies. What he wanted to be, was the brightest constellation of all, shining dazzlingly in the vast starry skies.

POSITIVE REVIEW :
Review from: c487
updated c650, updated c1775,
This novel start very average but it's get much better later +100, as expected of xianxia or xuanhuan in this case, the fist arc ends about the chapter 230+/-, also because the more you read the better you understand the "great picture" so here I'm going to list some characteristics of the novel.
Update after c1500. This novel is a very understimated novel. The only weird stuff happends in the beginning, the luck feels somewhat forced sometimes because is building the story and the story is developed in a lot chapters so it's usual that the beginning have this kind of stuff, but the story is getting better in later chapters, MC also is smarter, cunning, wiser and still not OP as ****, he's actually pretty much balanced for a MC O.O (he's not weak, but he doesn't crush everyone because he's the MC).
Start) MC a the beginning is a understimated young man that has been waiting his time to shine, but when he gets the oportunity he faces tragedies while he tries the best to protect himself becoming strong and getting some background until he's strong enough to revenge and slap the face to who did "bad" things to him and his nearby. I say "bad" because in these type of worlds there is anything "good" nor "bad" only the strong can know, talk and judge, the winner is the king and the defeated the villain so it's better to keep that in mind.
Early on, he gets a "cheat" that gives him powerful techniques based of his Astral Soul to help him start his journey but that's only in the start, after that he has to join an academy to get better techniques and so on, he don't really depend of that item to be OP it would be a lie if I say that doesn't help him, because it does and he keeps using those techniques all the time to boost his power but that's a technique, it's not a OP power/cheat that only has him so in the end all depends of his comprehension, luck and effort so it's not really a big deal.
Story) It's a xuanhuan, so it's a process of growing from weak to strong while moving to differents realms/countries/continents while revealing the truth behind the worlds, his background, his purpose while facing his enemies and also getting allies.
It has some repetitive stuff, like tournaments and trials and stuff like that he finds while adventuring, they don't repeat too much but you'll se some as the story progresses and they're not boring because in other novels a fight maybe takes 20 chapters analyzing the skills, spectators' reactions and stuff like that but in this novel the fights only take 1 chapter or 2 as much.
The main story progresses slow at the beginning but also it doesn't stop, it has his owns speed and meanwhile they're a lot of things going on as well. The story progresses around the strength of the MC so it depends of the point of the story.
Characters) There are the typical arrogant young masters that intimadate the weak while fearing the strong especially in the beginning of the story but later there are less of this arrogant young masters that only can talk bullsh*t sort of "Do you dare!? Don't you know who I am? My _Clan/Sect won't let you off" so this is a really important and good thing about this novel, MC is not just provoking some random canon arrogant young master and then destroys their sect and then the another ally sect and so on, it's not like that and this thing surprised me a lot also THERE ARE ALSO great cunning and logical "villains", the best in my opinion are those from the Chu country when is all revealed.
Update c650
Spoiler
Sadly the only cool villians are those, later I haven't seen so far any others, I mean any truly villains have appeared
They ally characters are fine, MC is not a solo heroe, it has his buddies and go with him along his journey, sometimes he's alone templating and cultivating himself but they are all the times doing stuff like him and when it's happening some important thing they group up, they are friends but they have also their own goals. It doesn't go too deep into their background but they had their own clear personalities.
There is a Harem tag but there is not real Harem when MC has a lot of girls that collects them like pokemon and then left them behind because they're too weak and can't follow him, it's more like thare a very few girls that fall in love with him but he doesn't correpond them so far, it's a 1 girl romance, and a good one actually, it's slow paces and solid one, it's get better with the time.
Update 1775->Harem confirmed, rate 7/10. I don't like big harem, so for me more girls -> worse. but there are few girls that are 100% solid and worth so far.
Martial Dao) The way of getting strong is the same as others, but the system itself and is unique in some aspects. It has a CLEAR DIFFERENCE between realms (unlike ATG, novel that I still actually enjoyed very much), it's all around comprehension and perception and the Astral Souls is also a awesome feature. It tells some insight about Dao from time to time but it doesn't go too deep, I mean, it's not all around that, although it has some awesome insight and thoughts. There are Yuan meteor stones and pills, they both can be used to promote but the main resource are the Yuan meteor stones wich is also the curreny.
Update c1775. Later chapters all is about perception, insight, pondering and comprehension.
Martial combat is based of Astral Souls, inner techniques, combat techniques, bloodlines, mandates of will and a lot more things that only are available at higher lvls, It also has divine inscriptions that are similar to the spirit of MGA, divine inscriptions can apply to a lot of things like
Spoiler
weapons, armor, puppets, formations, combat inscriptions, strategies...
MC eventually jumps lvls but it's not somethings crazy so the combat is good and understandable.
Update c650
Our MC can jump lvls but of course he's not the only one and there are characters that jump the same lvls just like him, of course they are non common characters and still there are a lot but it's important to keep that in mind, the MC is not a god that can jump 123812312 lvls because he's the MC and you're not.
I also want to clarify something that some people are upset about the cultivation path that the MC takes because they're not right but I gonna but a spoiler tag here anyway. Update from c650, c1775.
Spoiler
The weapon that the MC uses is the Halberd but some people are upset because his 4th Astra Soul is a sword so they think that now he becomes a sword cultivator but it's not like that, his main Weapon is still the Helberd that uses to fuse with 2 Astral Soul Mandate and also sometimes uses spears to throw like a marksman. He has a very powerful sword technique that obtains and also has 6th layer Sword Astra Soul so of course it uses and of course uses his Astral Nova but so what? He develops a Halberd Law and some Halberd techniques and he uses them really often and fuses it with his another powers it's not because he has Sword Astra Soul now is a sword cultivator, His FIRST Astral Soul is a HAMMER but anyone is complaining that he is a hammer cultivator right? so WTF
Update c1500 he start to pay much more atention to swordmanship->sword qi and sword intent
Update c650. The coincidantes are only at the start of the story to boost the MC power at the Beginning, basically, leter on his strength is mostly from his own Effort and Comprehension.
Also there is another thing that dissapointed me a lot but happends later on the story and it's something that happends a lot in other xuanhuan but still... so I just gonna hide it.
Update c650, forget that, the author fixes it and he does good.
Spoiler
He goes through A LOT of effort, problems, pain and suffering to be with his beloved and when he finally saves her and can be with her she just dissapears with MC's clan to power up until he gets stronger... BUT later they find each other again not too later and the romance it gets a lot better
My rate to this novel is solid 4, 5. compared with a lot xuanhuan is really good, often the author make story more realistic but instead is criticized because of that and yet are still unbelievable things, for example cliches like arriving just in time to save the day but pretty much is only that so overall the story is worth reading.
It's sort of MGA, PMG, ED, CD, GOS, TDG, ATG... and also it doesn't have anything to envy to them, the MC is badass, also kills when need to kill and DOESN'T destroy 21903871290 sects like many people are saying just because of some arrogant young master, and speaking of arrogant young masters this novel has 1/10 of PMG so stop talking nonsense.
It's all about the type you like, if you like more action and adventure oriented, read this, if not, just go read something like TTNH or any novel of that author or similar.

NEGATIVE REVIEW :
Don't really get the hype this series is getting. Sure the starting was somewhat good but hardly something for which I would shout like a fangirl. People are praising the series for its so called unique cultivation method. Just because the cultivation involves constellation you would call it unique. People really loves to misuse the word "unique". Nope. There has been nothing new or unique in the story so far. Battles have been boring and author has shown no unique abilities for the characters. The techniques have impressive names but in all honesty they are boring. So far the storyline has been pretty generic. Really nothing new. Same cliché of girl refusing to marry MC as he is trash. It will be followed by MC showing his awesome capabilities. And then the event of MC showing his epic side takes a dark turn by the arrival of trouble for his clan/sect. Sounds familiar? Totally generic.
Then there is the descent of stupid villains who tries to kill MC and when MC is about to kill them they use the most stupid dialogue "If you kill me then my clan/sect would kill you." Just what you would expect from author of PMG.
