âSenior martial brother, I want to stay on the Celestial Wood Star to cultivate." Suddenly, Qiu Jinâer said, âI want to stay here. There are many moons around the Celestial Wood Star, I can choose one and cultivate there. As long as I donât enter the Celestial Wood Star, the Kun Peng Celestial Race wonât know Iâm here. Staying here allows me to cultivate faster and it is more beneficial to my Wood Innate Spirit.â
Zhong Yue startled, he said, âBut you donât much air to breathâ¦â
Qiu Jinâer covered her mouth as she chortled, âDid you forget that Iâm the Wood Innate Spirit Body? My Yuan Shen secret realms are filled with immense life force, plants and trees grew all over the place. I donât to worry about air.â
Zhong Yue then realized, it was true that breathing air wasnât any issue to Qiu Jinâer. She had the Innate Wood Spirit Body and was able to control plants to generate the air she needed to breathe. Even when wandering the universe on her own, she wouldnât have to worry about running out of oxygen at all.
âWell then, Jinâer you can stay if you want to." Zhong Yue mulled and said, âBut we have to keep in contact constantly with the totem pillars. After I return to the Ancestral Star, I will sharpen my knowledge on the teleportation array formation. When you are bored of this place and want to come back, I will come with the teleportation portal and take you home.â
Qiu Jinâer gave a sweet smile before she leaped away from the star and flew toward a moon around the Celestial Wood Star. Her voice could be heard saying, âSenior martial brother, during the period of time where Iâm not around you, please remember to stay away from the flower bushes!â
âFlower bushes?" Zhong Yue was puzzled and he thought, Jinâer is afraid that Iâll be stuck with the pretty girls? Haha, she is worrying too much, Iâm not that kind of personâ¦
Tian Mo Concubine and the other demon ladies were overjoyed, they waved their hands at Qiu Jinâer while saying out loud, âSister of the Qiu family, we are not flowers, we are pretty little bees! Even if you senior martial brother donât come to us, we will fly to them too!â
Ji Xiang Concubine chortled and said, âWe demon ladies arenât like you humans, we speak what we think, we are never ashamed to voice our love toward our men!â
Saint Concubine was also waving at Qiu Jinâer, she said, âWhen you are back, your senior martial brother will be filled with bees around him!" She blushed coquettishly after she said.
Qiu Jinâer was piqued in anger, suddenly, she smiled brightly and waved her hands back at them, âNo matter how many bees are there, I will take all of them away from my senior martial brother!â
Tian Mo Concubine and the other demon ladies looked at one another, one of them said, âThis girl, what confidence. Does she really think that she can fight against all of us?â
Zhong Yue was speechless. He watched as Qiu Jinâer arrived safely at the moon of the Celestial Wood Star and his unsettled heart was eased.
The star they were traveling on flew at a faster rate, the gravitational field of the Celestial Wood Star pushed the speed of the little star to its maximum and abruptly, the star detached from the gravitational field and shot out toward the Celestial Fire Star.
With such an immense speed, it would only take a month for them to reach to the Celestial Fire Star, and from there, it would only take a few days to arrive back in the Ancestral Star!
âEy? There is a moon palace on this Celestial Wood Starâs moon?" Qiu Jinâer landed on one of the moons, just as she was going to find a place to settle down, she noticed something odd in the surrounding.
Qiu Jinâer inhaled a deep breath of air and blew toward the front. The moondust was blown into the space and a grand palace was revealed in front of her.
âWhen was this palace built? And who is its owner?" The young ladyâs interest was piqued as she walked toward the palace.
The palace door was tightly shut, there were rays moving on the surface of the door. It seemed like a kind of seal, a door seal that stopped any intruders from entering the palace.
The seal was incredibly ancient, and it had considerably weakened over time. Qiu Jinâer cast her Yuan Shen out and as soon as she tried to break the seal, it crumbled on its own and the door opened.
âWeird, why did the seal dispel on its ownâ¦" Qiu Jinâer was curious. As soon as the seal was broken away, a huge wave of life force gushed out from the palace, one that was incredibly similar to her own air.
âThis is ⦠the air of the Wood Innate Spirit!" Qiu Jinâer exclaimed.
She walked into the palace and the air brewed stronger within the hall. Clearly, this was the palace of an Innate Wood Spirit Body, one that had cultivated to deityhood and moved his abode to the Celestial Wood Star.
The palace had been sealed in anticipation for another Innate Wood Spirit Body holder to bring it into the light once again.
âSenior?" Qiu Jinâer asked, her voice echoed through the palace halls. There was no answer.
Qiu Jinâer looked around the palace. It was clean and tidy as though it were new; there was a tea hall, a cultivation hall, a treasure vault, and a garden. The divine herbs in the garden were nowhere to be seen but the divine soil remained. There was also a tea tree growing in the middle of the garden, emanating a faint and yet, refreshing fragrance.
Other than that, there were words left behind on the walls of the palace halls. Whoever the god was, he was a mad cultivator. After he left the Ancestral Star to the Celestial Wood Star, he spent over 2000 years just to study the secrets of the Innate Wood Yuan Shen.
âThis senior, he is one of those who are listed in the Lesser Void Worldâs Legendary Board!â
Qiu Jinâer was stunned, this Wood Innate Spirit Body been listed in the Legendary Void World when he was still a Qi Practitioner. after ascending into the deityhood, he started studying the ultimate abstrusities of the Wood Innate Spirit. He moved to the side of the Celestial Wood Star and recorded every finding he on the palace walls.
Not only that, Qiu Jinâer also found the godâs discoveries and insights pertaining to medicinal pellets in the medicinal hall, the godâs attainments in the cultivation techniques in the cultivation hall, his understanding in forging weapons in the treasure vault, and also the godâs past time of enjoying tea in the tea hall.
âWhat a strange man, but why isnât his name anywhere to be found in the Ancestral Starâs records?" Qiu Jinâer was puzzled.
âNevertheless, this is the perfect place for me to cultivate. Senior martial brotherâs progress is way too fast, not only am I unable to catch up to him, but the gap between us is getting even bigger now. If this continues, I will not be able to walk alongside him anymore, till one day, our paths will inevitably diverge.â
Qiu Jinâer calmed her mind and she prepared some tea for herself. She watched the steam wafting out of the teapot as she mumbled, âJust like Ting Lanyue and the other ladies, they were close to senior martial brother once, but as their cultivation progress lost pace with his, their relationship naturally become more distant. Even if they are to bump into senior martial brother, there wouldnât be much they can talk about anymore. If I want to stay with him, I have to cultivate as hard so I can stay by his side.â
â¦
A monthâs time passed in a flash, the star Zhong Yue and the others were on flew into the Celestial Fire Starâs gravitational field and into orbit around it.
The Celestial Fire Star was smaller than the Ancestral Star â it orbited around the Celestial Fire Star and disrupted the balance of its gravitational field. This caused the Celestial Fire Star to move around like a drunkard, probably only when the star leaves would the Celestial Fire Starâs gravitational field return to its usual balance.
If the Fire Innate Spirit Body is here, he would be able to cultivate at an incredible speed. What a shame Lei Hong died from Feng Wujiâs nefarious plans, what a shameâ¦
Zhong Yue sighed, he looked at the fire-red star and suddenly, a hand suffused with the air of darkness rose within the blazing fire ball while reaching for the star they were at!
âWhat is this!?â
The experts were shocked as they watched the demonic hand moved closer to them.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sounds of explosions came from the demonic hand as it moved deeper into the space, closer to the experts. Totem patterns formed around it and weaved together. As the hand opened, its palm was at least a thousand miles long from one end to the other and the star the experts were at was in its grasp!
âBrat! I finally caught you!" A voice of anger came from the Celestial Fire Star, âHow dare you scheme against me, how dare you!â
A demon god rose high underneath in the Celestial Fire Star, it was a thousand miles tall and stood astride on a piece of fire desert and a rocky canyon. The demon godâs head was nearly piercing out into the space!
The demon godâs three heads had expressions between laughter and tears. Zhong Yue was just maneuvering the course of the star and when he saw the faces, he exclaimed, âShi Tuo!?â
âYes, itâs me!" The demon god roared, his fingertips barely scratched on the star, wounding the Flowery Corpse God Chrysalisâs flower petals.
The Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis lost control and spurted out light rays in random directions. Immediately, the star was tossed off balance and moved randomly in the space.
Without any hesitation, Zhong Yue cast the Divine Wing Saber and slashed down on the Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis. Only then did the star regained its balance.
Fang Jiange and Gu Hongzi heaved a breath of relief, if Zhong Yue hesitated and acted any slower, the Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis would push the star into the Celestial Fire Star and they wouldâve all ended up dying in there!
However, with the Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis taken away, the star lost its drive, it was impossible to run away from the demon god Shi Tuo anymore!
With the strength of this demon godâs spirit, there was no doubt he could kill them all in just one strike!
Suddenly, Zhong Yue opened his mouth and projected his voice out with his psyche, âSenior Martial Brother Feng, congratulations on taming the demon god Shi Tuo! However, can you ask him to keep quiet?â
âNot an issue. Shi Tuo, my junior martial brother spoke his will, you will then keep quiet.â
A placid voice reverberated the sky. Shi Tuo, who was chasing the star, instantly stopped, his eyes burned with fire as he stared intently at Zhong Yue. Shi Tuo raged as he shouted, âIf not for you, how would I have ended up in this position!? I swear, I will make you pay for this!â
Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief, rays flashed across his eyes and he mumbled, âIâm correct then, itâs Senior Martial Brother Feng Xiaozhong down there. But if he is here in the Celestial Fire Star, then, that meansâ¦â
His eyes thumped and he finished the sentence, â⦠his Yuan Shen is already in the Pure Yang state!â
âFeng Xiaozhong ascended into the deityhood? He is a god now?" The experts were in shock. They all looked down and saw a white-robed man in his prime age standing beside Shi Tuoâs huge body. He was so small in their visions that they didnât even notice his existence before this.
The man manned himself like a gentle scholar, his eyes were clear like the crystals and his aura deep like the abyss, it was as if he couldnât be perceived by the senses of the experts if he didnât want to.
âFeng Xiaozhong, he is really a god now!" The expertsâ faces turned solemn.
Although Feng Xiaozhong was a human, he knew no evil nor virtues, he only the world as either one of two things: living beings that can be used as research materials, and living beings that werenât worth wasting time on. The only thing he ever cared about was exploration of discovery to understand the fundamental nature of the universe and the principles of life and death.
Back in the days when the old headmaster was still alive, Feng Xiaozhong already caused a huge disturbance across the whole Ancestral Star. However, as the old headmaster was now gone and he himself was a god now, no one would be able to stop him anymore!
âIâll send you all back to the Ancestral Star first." Zhong Yue stiffened up his face and he said solemnly, âWhen you reach the Ancestral Star, stay on the moon first and wait for me to come back. But I donât think I can return so soon. Also, whatever you do, do not go near the moon palace.â
âJunior Martial Brother Zhong, can you send me to the Celestial Gold Star?" Suddenly, Fang Jiange asked.
