Sui Ye Star Kingdom, main Star Field, Daye.1
The palaces were like clouds in the sky, broad and extending into the distance, gold and jade in glorious splendor, brilliant lights and vibrant colors. In the city, there was a hundred zhang sized Buddha overlooking all things.
The Sui Ye Star Kingdom’s Star Marquis was naturally one of the Sixteen, Yang Guang.
Yang Guang advocated Buddhism, and thus, Buddhism flourished in the Star Field. Among the enormous palace halls, the elegant sandalwood, and in front of the passage palaces, there were nine thousand nine hundred ninety steps. The stone slabs were covered with gold bricks, colored glass, and precious stones, and each level had a different sheen.
In the Sui Ye Star Kingdom, this path towards the main hall, the “King of Emptiness Buddha” stairway, was also called the “Twelve Deva Stairway,” the meaning indicating Buddhism’s Indra, Agni, Yama, Rakshasa and the rest of the Twelve Devas. Of course, this Twelve Deva Stairway and Buddhism’s supreme Universe Eternity Level Spirit Treasure, “All Things Twelve Deva Stairway,” could not be compared, but the stairway cost the efforts of many casting masters, tool refinement masters, and array masters in supporting a powerful magic array. Even an average Heavenly Star would be hard-pressed to break through.
Yang Su walked atop the “Twelve Deva Stairway,” a step instantly covering several dozen meters. Every time she crossed this magnificent stairway, Yang Su’s heart filled with derision.
Among the Sixteen Star Marquis, Yang Guang had the most ambition. She had great undertakings, consuming her Star Kingdom’s power. She even prepared to establish a “Star River” to link the Three Thousand Star Fields.
“But it is a pity this kind of treasure ground was actually left to a tyrant.” Yang Su thought to herself, hiding the disdain in her heart.
“Lady Yang Su.”
The bodyguards defending the main hall were adorned in golden armor. Each one had Earthly Immortal level of cultivation. Seeing Yang Su walk over, they immediately saluted her.
In the Sui Ye Star Kingdom, Yang Su could be said to have high standing, and she was able to come into the main hall and go as she pleased.
The main residential palace was the “King of Emptiness Buddha,” facing south from the north. There were three main halls, and inside the halls were sculptures in the likeness of the King Of Emptiness. The gables had murals depicting the tale of how the King of Emptiness became a buddha.
The palace roof was adorned with three types of colored glass. Their workmanship was exquisite, fired with meticulousness, formed with lifelike clarity, as if they were about come to life.
Two rare colored glass steles were below the residential palace’s front porch. Their entire bodies were of fired glass, their bases a peacock blue. Black characters were written upon the steles. The top of the steles had two blue and yellow-green dragon pearls. Two sides had black and blue dragon markings as well as flower patterns adorning them. The eastern side documented the arduous process through which the King of Emptiness cultivated to buddhahood. The western side recorded the origins of the King Of Emptiness Residence’s construction.
The stele’s black characters were written in cursive, stiffly yet flexibly, inelegantly yet skillfully. They flew naturally, like a storming tornado, easily changing tens of thousands of times and were emotionally moving. Astonishingly, this was by Star World’s renowned “Wild Cursive Drunken Monk” Huaisu.2
Entering a backroom of the palace, a roughly ten year old girl wearing a brocade and an imperial robe sat upon the Dragon Throne, in the middle of spirited conversation with a woman dressed in simple Zen clothes.
Seeing Yang Su enter, this girl excitedly beckoned her over. “Yang Su, you came at the perfect time, come listen to the Great Master’s dharma together with This King.”
Yang Su faintly smiled and bowed.
That Zen-clothed woman rose and placed her hands together. She smiled: “Dao’an3 has long heard of Yang Su’s fame.”
“Dao’an?” Yang Su was taken aback. She returned the compliment: “So you are the leader of the Sa Sect.” The Sa Sect4 was a denomination of Buddhism, and this Shi Dao’an’s background was extremely significant. She was the current number one in the Sa Sect. Now wonder the Tyrant would be so polite with her.
No mistake, this innocent-looking ten year old girl in front of her was the famous Yang Guang of the Sixteen Star Marquis.
Nickname.
Golden Age Tyrant!5
“Your Servant has interrupted the Great Master.
“Your Highness Yang Su, you are overconsiderate.”
“Great Master Shi came from that Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows. Hee, hee, This King heard something very interesting.” Yang Guang giggled.
Without waiting for Yang Su to ask, the girl said: “That Wang Meng went to snatch a man, but he surprisingly escaped. This truly is humiliating to the extreme. Luckily, she is the Kingdom Destroyer Great General.”
“Perhaps there is some reason for that.” Yang Su had actually heard of this, which had spread widely among the Sixteen Star Marquis. Wang Meng’s prestige was very great, after all. She was the number one Star General of the Amrita Star Kingdom. To be able to escape from her grasp, it could be said that the entire Amrita Star Kingdom had lost all of its face. However, that Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows was extremely fond of Wang Meng and actually did not care that much.
The girl savagely grinned: “If I had such a trash subordinate, I would certainly have her realize the consequences.”
“Monarch, Your Servant has matters to inform you of this time.” Yang Su said solemnly and glanced at Shi Dao’an.
The Zen woman understood tacitly: “Then Poor Monk shall take leave for now and will return some other day to discuss the dharma with the Star Marquis.”
“Fine.” Yang Guang nodded. She waved her hand. Although she was young, each and every single one of her gestures had an emperor’s bearing.
Once Shi Dao’an left, Yang Guang sat back down in the Dragon Throne and asked. “What is it, that you would need to come so urgently and interrupt This King’s affairs, Yang Su.”
Yang Su paused. She took out the Water And Fire Prisoner Dragon Staffs and sighed, “Monarch, Yang Shuang has Starfallen.”
“Hm?”
Hearing that her subordinate great general had fallen in battle, Yang Guang was not very moved. She was merely slightly unhappy: “She died? Who dares to kill This King’s subordinate.”
Yang Su summarized the events that transpired.
“What a good Yu Juluo. This King just knew that she would harbor unfathomable motives after gaining the Double Pupils, that she would desire to replace This King’s position.” Yang Guang slammed her Dragon Throne, her expression furious.
The scented lanterns in the hall were all extinguished.
“Summon Yu Juluo to the palace, This King wants to slaughter her.” The girl harrumphed.
“Monarch, you must not be impulsive.” Yang Su advised.
“How is this impulsive. She colluded with Mount Hua’s disciples to kill This King’s Great General. This King wants her dead, who dares to stop This King.” The girl shouted.
“Of course, Yu Juluo should die, but if you kill her like this right now, that would be detrimental to us. Yu Juluo possesses the Double Pupils Innate Skill. Killing her would significantly hurt us. Now that Xiang Yu’s Star Name has already been born, and she seeks to wrest one of the Sixteen Star Marquis seats, the Central Star Field will be interested in a compromise. If we let the Central Star Field find an excuse right now, that would be disadvantageous.” Yang Su analyzed the merits and drawbacks.
Yang Guang nodded and blinked: “Then can it be This King must let her go? Yu Yanluo is in possession of the Double Pupils. This King knew from a glance that she harbors ill intentions. Leaving her be is inappropriate, after all.”
“Why not wait for the martial competition with Mount Hua.”
“Hm?”
“Yu Yanluo should have been taken to Mount Hua by the disciples to recuperate. On the day of the martial competition, perhaps we can take her and Mount Hua all at once.” Yang Guang mysteriously smiled.
The girl’s eyes glinted, and she smiled in elation. “That is excellent. Everything regarding this will be left to your discretion, Yang Su. After you take Mount Hua, This King will be the number one Star Marquis. When that time comes, This King will not treat you unfairly. A portion of this Purple Rose Qi will also be apportioned to you.”
“Many thanks, Monarch.” Yang Su smiled.
“Right, Monarch, how should these weapons be handled?”
Yang Guang looked at the Water And Fire Prisoner Dragon Staffs. She impatiently waved her hand as if she was looking at garbage, “Dispose of them. The weapons of a loser pollute This King’s sight.”
“Then Chesu shall let them return to their destiny.” Yang Su said. Yang Shuang was her sister, after all. Even if she was the Cold Blooded Beauty, her heart had some sadness.
Yu Juluo.
Mount Hua!
Yang Su gestured with her hand. The Water And Fire Prisoner Dragon Staffs hovered, and then they slowly split apart, vanishing from sight.
Yang Guang excitedly pulled Yang Su to a seat and spoke of the “Star River Channel,” the “Buddhism Promotion,” and other major undertakings.
…
“Chen Mo, you have done something unwise.”
When Lu Xiujing saw Chen Mo had brought Demon Faced Military Commander Yu Juluo back, Mount Hua’s Senior Sisters were at a loss of what to do. Lu Xiujing shook her head, her brow locked tight.
After letting Sun Yingmeng bring Yu Yanluo to a room for treatment, Lu Xiujing spoke with Chen Mo.
Chen Mo understood what she was worried about.
Yu Juluo killed Yang Shuang, which inevitably would incur Yang Guang’s murderous wrath. Bringing Yu Juluo back to Mount Hua would direct that fury to their sect.
“Yu Yanluo forcefully used a Heaven Rank. RIght now, she is very weak, and other than Mount Hua, she has nowhere else to go.” Chen Mo said.
“Yes, this time, she can be considered as having saved my and Chen Mo’s life.” Li Xiao, in a rare case, also spoke up for her. “Although I, Li Xiao, loathe these Nine Elders Of Sui, I am not a cold-blooded person.”
“Thirty-six Stratagems, Obtain Safe Passage to Conquer Guo. I fear Yang Guang will find an excuse to cause trouble.” Lu Xiujing said apprehensively.
Hearing the most resourceful Lu Xiujing say this, the girls fell into contemplation.
At this time, Chen Mo smiled: “I actually fell this is an opportunity.”
All of the girls looked at him, confused.
“Yu Yanluo killing Yang Shuang already shows that she’s wholly incompatible with the Tyrant. This is actually an opportunity to make her join Mount Hua. Her strength is overwhelming, and she has the Double Pupils Innate Skill. These are not bad things for Mount Hua.”
“Everyone already knows that the Tyrant covets Mount Hua, why is there a need for us to be afraid of even the smallest thing.” Chen Mo smiled.
When even he said this, Lu Xiujing also felt she was being too cautious.
“Chen Mo is right. Yu Yanluo only possesses the Double Pupils Innate Skill, then it really is intolerable bullying that Tyrant wants to kill her. This Lady cannot watch.” Sun Yingmeng nodded, raising her fist to stand on Chen Mo’s side.
Jiang Kui and the Red Fragrant Child did not oppose either.
“Let’s do this for the time being. We must ask the Ancestor to make the final decision.” Lu Xiujing suggested. She had nothing else to say.
