The Zhushen Star Kingdom was situated at the edge of the Inner Star Field and was near the Foreign Star Field. From the Star Atlas of the Zhushen Star Kingdom, one could retreat to the Outer Star Fields or go into the Inner Star Field, a clear distinction like a checkpoint. For the thousand Outer Star Field Star Generals who wanted to enter the Inner Star Fields, they needed to pass through the Zhushen Star Kingdom. Thus, among the Star Generals of the Inner Star Field, the Zhushen Star Kingdom was also described as the Star Field beyond the pass.
The ruler of the Zhushen Star Kingdom was “Complete Elder” Aisin-Gioro Hongli of the Sixteen Star Marquis, also known as the Qianlong Emperor.
As the Star Marquis overseeing the checkpoint, Qianlong did not have the high aims of other Star Marquis. Although she yearned in her dreams to conquer beyond the pass, to enter the Central Star Field, she knew that the Inner Star Fields were a galaxy of talent. Right now, she could only hone her strength and bide her time, wait for her opportunity for a chaotic world.
Today, like any other normal day, Qianlong Emperor Hongli invited her subordinate “Eight Banners” to Qian City, located in the main Star Field, the Qianlong Star Field, for a banquet. This was a warmup for the impending Literary Excellence Convention.
Pure and gradual awareness of the dark and dense green, hear first the forest’s yellow chestnuts remaining.
Laugh at my lack of skill, there is no need for a pair of oranges to be outstanding.
The Sparrow Hawk Dance finished. Aisin-Gioro Hongli’s poem was a mournful “A Play on Listening to the Sparrow Hawk Shop.” This poem could only be described as a rhyme at best. As an officer of the Qianlong’s “Eight Banners,” the others already were accustomed to their lord’s miserable poetry. No one could stop her. Their lord had already treated poetry as something in her life that she could not be without or lack. To her, poetry was not a pretension to culture, rather, it was true love. For example, the “Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains” by “Gongwang.” Every time their lord admired it, she would compose a poem. Eventually, she had composed more than 50.
And for “Sage Of Calligraphy” Wang Xizhi’s “Coming Snow Clear Weather Card,” the entire work was about 5.5 meters long, with Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy occupying only a fraction of it. The rest of the space was practically stuffed with Qianlong’s poems.
This improvised poem was actually quite pleasing to the air, honestly much better than her other so-called poems.
“My beloved generals, how is this ‘A Play on Listening to the Sparrow Hawk Shop?’ Could it have the qualifications to go display My talent at the Literary Excellence Convention.” Qianlong’s expression was one that eternally cursed gods and blamed others and indulged in self-pity. The distress in her eyes honestly was more endless than the rivers leading to the East Sea.
“If this one does not work, This Emperor has nine thousand nine hundred ninety others. I believe I can amaze the others at the Literary Excellence Convention.”
“Pfft.” Great General of the Eight Banners “Bordered Yellow Governor General” Nian Gengyao could not help but smile. The woman shot a sideways glance: “My lord, those writer spiritual power Star Generals are merely dissenters. My lord need not mind them.”
“Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout sounds amazing, but in a thousand years, those who could actually achieve it were very few. Even the Central Star Field’s Seven Sages Of The Bamboo Grove are only exceptional in one aspect, but they are unable to accomplish this.”
Nian Gengyao sipped her longyan and jujube soup, savoring it.
The other officers of the Eight Banners expressed their approval one after another.
“Is This Emperor’s poem inadequate?” Qianlong was even more worried.
Nian Gengyao shrugged. Her gaze shifted to a woman nearby who was as cold and stiff as a statue. She shrugged, an expression hinting that the Elder Sister go soothe her.
“Dorgon,1 what do you say?” Qianlong anxiously asked.
“Not worth a mention.”
As the head of the Qianlong Eight Banners, “Imperial Family’s Heavenly General” Dorgon coldly spat.
“Wuu. Dorgon, you bully This Emperor.” Qianlong planted her face into the desk, utterly dejected.
This was already not the first evaluation. Dorgon harrumphed and continued to drink her wine. “My lord, perhaps you should stop composing poetry, use more of your time to train.” The Imperial Family’s Heavenly General pursed her lips, very stern.
Because of Qianlong’s hobby, this led to her Purple Rose Qi cultivation being very slow. Among the Sixteen Star Marquis, her position was also the lowest. Whenever her name as the Complete Elder was mentioned, there were always jeers.
“Urging cultivation to console me for my poem, I also know that my poetry is lacking. But the Pure Feast Festival is upon us, can I leave other matters sometime else not slacking?” Qianlong answered with another poem.
“You are incorrigible.” The woman was helpless.
“But This Emperor truly wishes to go participate in the Literary Excellence Convention. It has been so long since I went beyond the pass.” Qianlong lifted her head. One of the Eight Banner officers wiped those faint tears of hers.
“My lord, conduct yourself with dignity.” Dorgon’s words of pity were like gold.
“I wonder when This Emperor can enter beyond the pass and into the Central Star Field.” Qianlong pined.
“Not much longer.” Dorgon’s eyes were like blades. The woman appeared extremely stead, filled with the energy to vie over the world. “Dong Zhongshu uses Confucianism to control Central. Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang have intentions to supplant Central. We need only wait beyond the pass, wait for them to slaughter each other. I already bribed some of the Star Generals in the Central Star Field. When the time comes, we can move in unchallenged.
“And who know how long that will take.” Qianlong sighed.
Just at this moment, a Zhushen Star Kingdom Star Warrior hurried in: “My lord, this is very bad.”
“What happened for you to be so flustered and interrupt This Emperor’s poetry composition.” Qianlong reproved.
That Star Warrior was pale in the face. He anxiously said: “My lord, a group of people have charged into the Zhushen Star Kingdom. They have already broken through fifty consecutive Star Field guards and are headed straight for Qianlong City.”
“What?”
Everyone at the banquet was astonished.
“So any cat and dog can breach This Emperor’s Star Kingdom now, can they.” Qianlong was even more worried.
“My lord, you cannot be careless. Several years ago, the White Robed God Of War charged into the Central Star Field, repelling its massive army. Now that troubled times are coming, we must proceed carefully.” Dorgon said calmly.
“Very well.”
Outside Qian City, the blue sky was vast and the prairies extensive, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Groups of twos and threes were outside the city, appearing very leisurely.
“These people charged straight through the Star Kingdom: The Star Warrior fearfully answered: “The armies of the other Star Kingdoms have already been wiped out.”
Such a radical change occurred during their short feast. Qianlong and the Eight Banners all retracted their smiles.
“Who are you people, how dare you invade my Zhushen Star Kingdom!” Nian Gengyao asked with a strict tone.
A girl with a build as delicate as jade sauntered out confidently.
“I want to enter the Central Star Fields and destroy yours along the way.”
“Huh??”
Everyone was stunned, having not expected her first words to be so arrogant.
Aisin-Gioro Hongli put away her worries and gazed at the young girl, beginning to compose a poem.
Dorgon said: “Who are you, state your Star Name.”
“How annoying, I won’t tell you…” The girl’s figure flickered. She was on the city ramparts in the blink of an eye, hovering in the air, the Eight Banners reflected in her eyes.
Although the girl was very petite, she exuded a boldness that wished to take the world.
These Heavenly Star Great Generals had a kind of feeling of insignificance in front of her.
The girl threw a punch.
The punch-wind was explosive, unstoppable. The city walls crumbled to the force of her punch. Everyone was shocked. The capital of a Star Kingdom was not constructed of ordinary stone. It used materials from ten thousand meters deep in the sea, cast from pouring Molten Iron True Qi. It was incomparably hard, so much so that True Phoenix One or Second Stage Star Generals were unable to break it.
But the girl had not used a Heaven, Earth, Dark or Yellow. Just the power of her punch had disintegrated the entire wall.
“Cease your impudence!!” Plain Red Banner Great General “Plain Red General” Hong Chengchou of the Qianlong Eight Banners was furious as a vajra. She similarly countered with a punch, and hers was like a buffeting tidal wave, flowing down from the sky.
This was Dark Rank “Force Of Watery Waves.”
The girl snorted and threw a punch.
She fought against the tide, and the frightening punch-force surprisingly recoiled. Hong Chengchou was astonished. This was the first time he had seen her Star Energy was surprisingly repelled by her opponent’s power.
The red armor on her body shattered. She vomited blood, heavily injured.
“Chengchou!” The others of the Qianlong Eight Banners were astonished.
“Apologies, my punch was a bit soft. Originally, I wanted to kill you directly, to make you not suffer.” The girl wrinkled her brow.
“Just who are you!” Dorgon brought out her Star Weapon spear, the “Eight Desolates Imperial Virtue.”
“Hmm.” The girl flourished her hand. A heavy halberd appeared.
This halberd was extremely tyrannical. Thunder jolted the earth, a dragon descended from the heavens and rampaged through the world, glancing out the corner of its eye. Dorgon’s Eight Desolates Imperial Virtue Spear already quite overbearing, and it was also known as “throughout the world, imperial virtue is omnipresent.” But compared to the girl’s giant halberd, its power was instantly lukewarm.
“This is…”
Dorgon’s pupils contracted.
Heavenly Dragon City Destroyer Halberd!!
“Could you be…!!” Dorgon was shocked.
The girl grinned widely, showing her pearly white teeth as her domineering aura abounded.
The Heavenly Dragon City Destroyer Halberd swept over them.
The earth cracked, and space split.
Powerful, tyrannical power launched straight at Dorgon. Dorgon completely unleashed her Realm and activated her Innate Skill. She was like a divine phoenix; shockingly, she was Divine Phoenix Realm.
“Help Elder Sister!”
The others of the Qianlong Eight Banners reacted instantly. WIth a shout, they pounced towards the domineering girl. Each of them brought out their Star Weapons, using their Earth Ranks and Phoenix Earth Ranks at full power.
“Imperial Family Sword Slash!”
“Bright Red Absolute Kill!”
“Blue Sky Strike!”
“Magic Cloud Linked Luck!”
“…”
The Eight Banners officers assembled a formation, combining each of their Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow Techniques, comparable to the power of a Heaven Rank. Even a top-notch Star General could not possibly escape unscathed. But the girl was unmoved. Her pupils rapidly moved, splitting into three. The triple pupils were like three endlessly spinning spirals, full of mystery.
A mysterious power manifested in the space surrounding the girl. The Qianlong Eight Banners were surprisingly completely unable to suppress her.
“Hmph, watch Mine.”
The Heavenly Dragon City Destroyer Halberd swept forth.
Its power quaked.
Everyone’s chests hurt. The Eight Banners together were surprisingly defeated, and three of them actually Starfell.
“How is this possible!” Dorgon did not dare believe this as she raised the Eight Desolates Imperial Virtue Spear.
At this time, Qianlong finally put away her anxious expression. Frost covered her face. No matter who it was, she could not bear to see her beloved generals Starfall. Qianlong roared. Thunder crackled everywhere, Purple Rose Qi covered her body, and her Star Crest turned purple.
She astonishingly entered the Realm of Purple Rose Stars.
Star Marquis could enter Purple Rose Star and reach Xuannü Realm by using Purple Rose Qi. In Xuannü Realm, no Star Name could hide. But Xiang Yu’s figure was still hazy in her eyes.
“Purple Rose Star. Back then, I did not fear the Purple Rose Star Emperor even though I was unable to defeat him.” The girl snorted. The Heavenly Dragon City Destroyer Halberd slashed.
“Great Destruction Under Heaven!”
Qianlong thrust out her palm, but she was repelled several steps.
“What, how are you still alive, you should be dead.” Qianlong was flabbergasted as she fired another purple light.
“Outrageous, courting death!”
Dorgon was infuriated. She plucked up the earth, and the Eight Desolates Imperial Virtue became an imperial dragon that devoured Heaven and Earth. The world was unable to stop the imperial dragon’s might.
Its divine might shook the entire Star Field, even breaching the Profound Star Barrier.
Heaven Rank.
“Imperial Dragon Destroys Ancestor!!!”
Qianlong also unleashed her power at this time. Her firsts moved, and the entire Star Field filled with punch-shadows that descended upon Xiang Yu.
“Break for this Hegemon King!”
The girl shouted.
Incomparably tyrannical power shook the world. Even Dorgon, who had just entered Divine Phoenix Realm, wondered how there could be such overwhelming power in the world. If not for Qianlong using Purple Rose Star to protect her, the “Imperial Family’s Heavenly General” would have thought to flee in a panic.
This was that legendary name that once battled the Purple Rose Star Emperor!!
She.
Was.
Hegemon King.
Xiang Yu.
