The scenery changed in a flash. The Tail Fire Star Field completely vanished from Chen Mo’s sight already.
Alright, Chen Mo already had mental preparations to enter the legendary Inner Star Fields, but when he passed through that starry sky-like tunnel, the surroundings had changed in the blink of an eye to a large bridge enveloped in fog. This kind of rapid shift left him quite astonished.
Chen Mo and Wang Meng walked over a straight bridge. He was unable to see any rivers in the surroundings, as if the bridge was constructed over a stream of stars. The surroundings were full of countless stars, light specks, and mist-like clouds.
Though it seemed like fog or a nebula, it was best to not touch it.
Chen Mo clearly sensed a dangerous air from within it.
These starry void bridges passed through the obstruction of the barrier between Star Fields. Each bridge was a road sign leading to another place. So long as one possessed a passage plaque, even the ordinary person who was without the slightest bit of magic energy would be able to travel to any world.
The “Star Net”1 was the Central Star Fields’ greatest creation. It was able to easily link the nine thousand Star Fields into one, and it was precisely because of this that the Purple Rose Star Emperor from back then was able to firmly control all of Star World and become Star World’s ruler.
“Are we already in the Inner Star Fields now?” Chen Mo asked.
Wang Meng walked in the front, completely unlike an escort’s position. Of course, the Kingdom Destroyer Great General had the confidence for this. As for Chen Mo’s idle question, clearly, the woman had no interest at all in answering.
However, Chen Mo would not give up like this.
“What do you say about me joining your Imperial Empress. Since I can defeat Huan Wen, I must have boundless potential. Maybe I can become some Seven Grand in the future.”
“Won’t you consider it?”
“Wang Meng, there’s a saying, don’t discriminate against a poor young man.”
“There’s also another saying, fortune knocks on every man’s door at least once.”
“I heard that the Purple Rose Great Emperor wasn’t a Star General either, do you detest me that much?”
The woman showed formidable patience for the noisy man behind her, so much so that even Chen Mo was extremely impressed. Wang Meng’s nature was as immovable as stone, without any gaps. A Star General like this often harbored powerful capabilities, and they were very frightening.
Chen Mo was unwilling to give up. Since she did not kill him, then this was the perfect opportunity to find out her weakness. Chen Mo watched Wang Meng’s unmoved appearance. All of a sudden, he recalled various matters pertaining to the Wang Meng of Chinese history. Although Star World’s Star Generals and the historical figures were not very related, but in the end, there would be some predestined existences.
A thought flashed through Chen Mo’s mind. He used a frivolous tone to say: “Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows Fu Jian takes both men and women. Did you also become property of Fu Jian’s harem, Wang Meng?”
“She doesn’t kill me, but wants to catch me. Don’t tell me she’s taken a fancy to me. Fine, then. I will definitely show her lots of love, make her forget about you. This way, you can escape from your wretched suffering, Wang Meng, no need to thank me.”
In front, Wang Meng’s figure stopped. Suddenly, an enormous killing intent erupted, and the surrounding stars seemed to freeze under the woman’s baleful aura. Even though Chen Mo possessed the Black Turtle’s body, he felt unable to breathe.
Wang Meng stared at him from out of the corner of her eye. Though he could not see her under her cloak, her expression was clearly revealed. That was a pair of overwhelming pupils, as if they could devour the world without stop.
So incredible.
Chen Mo immediately felt himself surprisingly have the fear of being eaten just from being glanced at like this.
“If what you say about the Imperial Empress is nonsense, then This General will make you regret it for your entire life.” Wang Meng coldly spat out this sentence.
Her first words finally after so long. Although they were full of hostility, this could be considered a good start.
Chen Mo’s heart moved. For an instant, fear rose in his calm mind. He slightly smiled, for it appeared that Wang Meng’s weakness should be this Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows Fu Jian. Their relationship seemed to be much “deeper” than he had imagined. “Then I was wrong. However, for you to let me follow behind you like this, don’t tell you aren’t worried one bit that I’ll run away? After all, I am the man who defeated Huan Wen.”
“Then run.” Before Chen Mo could be elated, Wang Meng’s next sentence made him feel chills. “But if This General catches you once, then you will have one limb crippled permanently. You can have four chances to escape. The Imperial Empress only ordered This General to bring you back to the Purple Palace. There was no such condition that you were to remain intact. Rumor has it that ‘Demonic Queen’ Lü Zhi’s2 human swine shock all of the world. This General would like to try that.”
Human swine referred to a type of cruel punishment where people had their limbs, nose, and eyes all severed and gouged out, turning a perfectly healthy person into the most lowly existence. Even the mightiest of men could not bear it.
Chen Mo was unperturbed: “I won’t run. After all, if I really did, you are completely capable of venting your rage upon the Tail Fire Star Field. Then escape would be completely meaningless.”
“You need not worry. The Tail Fire Star Field has the Central Star Field’s care. This General will not do that. If you can escape This General’s grasp, then This General will view you as an outstanding talent. If you have the ability, run.” Wang Meng’s tone did not have any humor, only calm.
“So that’s how it is.” Chen Mo shrugged noncommittally.
Having conversed this short amount of time, the two finally reached the end of the bridge, and the shadow of a very large structure slowly revealed its true form.
How best to describe this enormous, classical3 giant?
Other than the extremely stereotypical gate, the lines of the construction were like flowing wave patterns, layered upon one another and intersecting with each other, extremely imaginative. These delicate flame patterns extended in all directions, extending past many windows that were partitioned with straight framework, splitting them into four even parts. The thin framework stretched around and was exceedingly gorgeous.
And the gatekeeping statues were carved to be diverse creatures that all appeared vivid and lifelike. Chen Mo had a type of odd feeling that they seemed able to come alive at any moment.
Two female imperial bodyguards in purple cloaks and armor were in front of the gate.
Their armor was extremely magnificent, like purple crystal, glittering with the brilliance of glass. Their long hair spilled over their shoulders, and they wore purple caps on their heads. A faint purple qi wound around their bodies.
Chen Mo clearly sensed that they were exceptionally powerful.
Seeing people approach, the female guards halted them. “This is an important location of the Inner Star Fields. Please show your Boundary Passage Plaque.”
Wang Meng showed hers, and the two guards turned their gazes to Chen Mo.
“Distinguished Self, if you do not have a plaque, please enter your Divine Intent into this. We need to know your identity.”
Wang Meng grunted, displaying her slight dissatisfaction.
The guard explained: “The Central Star Fields have issued an order imposing martial law. You must record your identities on file at each of the major Inner Star Fields’ Star World passages.”
“Because there is word that Jing Ke is prepared to harm the Central Star Fields, we ask for your understanding.”
“Jing Ke?” Wang Meng was taken aback: “She has shown movement?”
“Yes, Subordinate is not clear about other details.”
“I never expected that even Jing Ke would appear.” Wang Meng sneered in a low voice, speaking no further.
Chen Mo imbued the plaque in the guard’s hand with his Divine Intent. A cultivator’s Divine Intent could be considered something like a modern fingerprint. Recorded inside were the cultivator’s most fundamental identifiable characteristics. After the female guard inspected it for a few seconds, she then scrutinized Chen Mo’s face and nodded. After she determined that he was not a person on the Central Star Field’s “blacklist,” she let them pass.
The gate opened to reveal a brilliant light. After entering this light, only then did Chen Mo genuinely enter the domain of the Inner Star Fields.
After Chen Mo and Wang Meng entered the Inner Star Field together, the expression of the guard who inspected Chen Mo’s Divine Intent Earlier changed slightly all of a sudden. She then took out another Sound Transmission token and sent it into the sea of stars.
…
After exiting the realm gate, what appeared in front of Chen Mo’s eyes was a magnificent scene. An endless chain of mountains like a ten thousand chi long crawling dragon was faintly discernible in the clouds. The size of this mountain range seemed to extend straight into the heavens, and the stars in the sky were even more numerous comapred to the Outer Star Fields. Below the mountain was an enormous city.
There was an endless flow of people in and out of it.
“Come with me right now.” Wang Meng lightly leapt into the air. Her body floated in the sky like a cloud. A pair of phoenix wings seemd to sprout from her back.4
Although Chen Mo was already prepared, to see this landscape still made his heart sink.
To be able to stroll through the sky was the greatest characteristic of a Heavenly Spirit Star General.
The Wang Meng in front of him was Heavenly Star level after all. However, it was not strange if he thought about it. With a Star Name as domineering as Wang Meng’s, Chen Mo was not too shocked. But what Chen Mo could not get a clear grasp about was just how strong a Heavenly Star was. He had traded blows with Auntie before, but Auntie had never truly used full power. He did not know if Wang Meng was able to easily obstruct his Three Worlds Immortal Movement Talisman or not. It seemed he could only use it when it was absolutely safe to do so.
Chen Mo examined the situation in his mind and was inwardly distressed.
This Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows honestly was too irregular. He had only killed a Yellow Court Realm Fiend Star, nothing more. To surprisingly mobilize someone as badass as Wang Meng, the distance in their levels was several dozen universes. He truly did not know what he should do.
“Are you still considering how to escape?” Wang Meng sneered.
“Oh, yeah.” Chen Mo did not hide this.
“Even if you have an escape dimension magic treasure, This General can seize you with naught but a finger. If you do not want to lose an arm, you had best understand this point.”
“Many thanks for your warning.” Chen Mo smiled: “I’ll keep this in mind.”
“Beyond the Heaven Concealing Mountain Range and past a few more Star Fields is the Amrita Star Kingdom. If you want to run, quickly allow This General experience your tricks.” Wang Meng coldly said, then swiped her hand.
An enormous pressure made Chen Mo’s body unable to help but move towards her hand. Chen Mo had no choice but to release the Nebula Flying Chariot and follow her.
Not long after Chen Mo left.
The Star World passageway’s array pattern again opened a gate to the void of stars. Three women stepped out. One of them was none other than the purple armored guard who inspected Chen Mo. The other two women were twins. One had hair as white as snow rolled into a snake bun. She wore a black gauze skirt, and a moon pauldron hung on her right shoulder. The other girl had hair as black as ink in a double bun style. She wore a snow-white long skirt, and her left shoulder also had a moon pauldron. The two dressed practically the same, except their black and white colors were different, and their accessories were mirror imaged.
The white-haired, black skirt girl appeared very earnest, “Are you sure it is him?”
“Yes.” The purple armored guard said: “Name is Chen Mo, comes from the Tail Fire Star Field, and his Divine Intent also carries her imprint.”
“He is with a Star General, but it appears as if he is being detained.”
“What is that Star General’s name?” The black-haired, white skirt woman asked vivaciously.
“Subordinate does not have the privilege to know, but she should be a very formidable Heavenly Star. Perhaps she is already past True Phoenix Ninth Stage.” The female guard said.
“En, many thanks to you, Ziwan.”5
“No need, Your Servant owes her a favor.”
“Leave what comes next to us.”
“Be careful.”
Ziwan stepped into the array and very quickly vanished from sight.
“Little Sister, the Young Master we waited so long for has finally appeared. Are you not as eager as your Elder Sister.” The black haired girl asked with excitement. “I wonder if Young Master is handsome or not.”
The white-haired girl shut her eyes then slowly opened them, speaking deliberately: “Young Master is in trouble. Now is not the time for games. If I save the Young Master this time, then it is your turn to be Little Sister.”
“Hee, hee, okay.”
