When Wang Yuanji had only just joined the Wang Clan of Langya, the golden-haired and blue-eyed Commandery Princess Of Lanling did not receive the love of the clan at all. To a well-established literary family like the Wang Clan of Langya, her Star Name was insignificant and her calligraphy unremarkable.
In the Wang Clan’s eyes, her cold temperament brimmed with arrogant provocation. Very few of the Wang Clan’s people were willing to associate with this aloof Commandery Princess, save for one person.
This was the ranked fourth sister of the Wang Clan of Langya, Wang Xianzhi,1 Wang Xianzhi.2
Among the sisters of the Wang Clan, the position of “Little Sage Buried In Books” Wang Xianzhi could be said to be the complete opposite of Wang Yuanji’s. Her One Brush Book Innate Skill and appellation of Little Sage meant that she possessed a rank in the Calligraphy School second only to Wang Xizhi. Furthermore, Wang Xianzhi’s cultured demeanor won the reverence of all the Wang Clan’s people.
Wang Xianzhi showed great consideration for Wang Yuanji, treating the girl as her own. Wang Xianzhi was an enormous help in maturing her Realm, and she taught Wang Yuanji the calligraphy of One Brush Book. Additionally, Wang Yuanji’s comprehension was extremely high. In each of the Wang Clan’s Calligraphy School exchanges, Wang Yuanji always caught attention.
Eventually, Wang Yuanji received everyone’s recognition in the Wang Clan. In their eyes, this cold exterior had become a frosty pride like a winter plum blossom.
At some point in time, Wang Yuanji also treated Wang Xianzhi as her dearest person. Occasionally, her ice and snow smile was for Wang Xianzhi’s appreciation.
In that last moment her Star Name burned, Commandery Princess Of Lanling Wang Yuanji seemed to see that universally astounding couplet she made with Wang Xianzhi during the Wang Clan’s Winding River Feast: “Yellow scholar trees and green bamboo sprout in the new courtyard; purple swallows and red geese speak of bygone nobility.”
Thundering cheers all around, Fourth Sister’s astonished expression was deeply etched into the girl’s mind.
As long as it was for the smile of the person in front of her, even death was worth it.
In the blankness of Starfall, Wang Yuanji’s thoughts already faded. Just at this moment, a figure appeared in the empty world. Fourth Sister Xianzhi carefully told her, “You must live!”
“Live? What?”
Wang Yuanji was at a loss. Suddenly, she felt heat on her lips, and a pure Yang energy poured from her lips and seeped into her limbs. Her burning Star Name quenched, and under a powerful force, her splintered spirit gathered together again.
She sensed everything about her was exposed to her counterpart’s eyes.

“I’m telling you to live!!”
An awe-inspiring voice echoing in her ears pulled the girl back to reality. Wang Yuanji opened her eyes. Her detached expression could not help but be surprised. Chen Mo was right in front of her, a Star Crest between their foreheads currently linking them together.
Even a Gestational Phase Star General was able to understand what had just happened.
She had just been entered into a Servant Star Contract.
Wang Yuanji’s mouth hung agape as she stared blankly at him, already unsure of what expression she should use to face him. Evidently, what had just occured was beyond her imagination.
“Your elder sister left you to me, so I’m telling you to live. You must live at least while you’re in front of me.” Chen Mo spoke emphatically, not giving her any leeway.
Wang YUanji was blank for a moment. She seemed to see from her counterpart’s eyes the very same expression her Fourth Sister originally had.
The underground palace rumbled.
The others were basically too late to react when Chen Mo and Wang Yuanji signed their contract. Following the fall of the fifth Crimson Star, the underground palace’s Five Emperors Seal totems were all lit.
The remaining Star Generals eyed the Five Emperors Seal phenomenon covetously, but though the five totems were lit, the lone empty notch at the center was still dim. The lights of the surrounding four pearls that represented wind, thunder, water, and fire also gradually dimmed. The power of the fifth Star General’s Starfall did not summon the “Five Emperors Seal” as Lady Wei had thought.
“Don’t tell me the Five Emperors Seal is fake?” Yu Ji was at a loss.
“No, one Origin Pearl is missing.” Yu Ziqi whispered.
“There’s another one?” Yu Ji was taken aback.
“The fifth Origin Pearl must be under your protection, Primordial True Spirit.” A weak voice suddenly piped up. Hearing this voice, Chen Mo was shaken.
Surprisingly, she was Lady Wei.
That killing filling the sky receded following the Five Emperors Seal’s light, and only then did Chen Mo discover that when his Dance Through The Willows archery punched through Miracle Brush Famous Concubine Lady Wei, she had not Starfallen at all.
But the bruised and battered Miracle Brush Famous Concubine had already lost her original grace and charm.
“You’re not dead? Then who Starfell just now?” Chen Mo looked around in astonishment. The Yu Sisters, Wang Yuanji, Xiao Mohe, and Huang Tingjian were all still present.
Lady Wei was completely uninterested in who Starfell. So long as it could reveal the Five Emperors Seal, that would be enough. “Xiao Mohe, hurry and defeat this Earthly Star. We can surely obtain the fifth Origin Pearl.” Lady Wei hastily issued orders. At the same time, she activated the Stardust Calamitous Kill Array to protect herself.
Xiao Mohe brandished the Ghosts And Gods Nirvana.
Sun Yueying was a Primordial Earthly Star. She possessed fame as the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, and she was not far behind a Heavenly Star.
The Ghosts And Gods Nirvana’s swift and tyrannical attacks were completely harmless before her.
The two of them instantly exchanged a hundred blows. Xiao Mohe suddenly stepped backwards, her greatsword slicing open space. Sun Yueying shifted her steps. Thousand Snowpiles and Ten Thousand Clouds blocked the attack.
“I wonder whether or not you can withstand Your Servant’s Heaven Rank!!”
The Heaven Devouring Demon King was already weary of this battle as she made a cold declaration.
“Show me what you are capable of. Perhaps I can tell you of the fifth Origin Pearl.” Sun Yueying flatly smiled, acknowledging Lady Wei’s words. Her iron club and spear were perfectly coordinated like arms.
Hundred Birds Devouring Clouds Slash.
Hanging Scroll Drops Flowers Like Snow.
Two Dark Ranks followed each other very closely.
Xiao Mohe raised her sword. The wide blade reflected a gloomy flower blossom. The murderous aura of countless demons suddenly manifested in the surroundings and clashed with Sun Yueying’s double Dark Ranks.
Earth Rank.
Darkness Mandala!
…
“I never thought that there would still be a fifth Origin Pearl. Looks like we miscalculated this time. Big Sis, we’d better go for now.”
Although Yu Ziqi was unwilling, she had no choice.
If the following battle proceeded as they expected, Xiao Mohe would inevitably use the power of her Heaven Rank to settle things with Sun Yueying. At that time, there would already be no way to run.
Yu Ziqi seriously nodded.
“Yuanji, protect the two of them.” Chen Mo instructed Wang Yuanji.
“Are you not leaving?” The two of them had signed a contract. There was an invisible spiritual link between them, and Wang Yuanji also began to worry for him.
Chen Mo mysteriously smiled. In a flash, he escaped the underground palace first.
The group retreated to open space outside, yet Chen Mo did not pay them mind. He instantly arrived in front of the stele at the end of the bridge. “Hm?” The women were very perplexed as to what Chen Mo was doing.
Below the bridge of chains was a bottomless abyss filled with ancient Primeval Chaos Qi. Even a Star General felt chills, as if they might be ripped apart by this Primeval Chaos force if they fell in.
“Xixue, protect them.”
Chen Mo leapt, surprisingly jumping down into the abyss.
“Chen Mo!”
Yu Ji turned pale with fright. Was this man insane?!
“Look out!!
Wang Yuanji shouted. The Winding Stream Dragonfly darts flew out.
Bang, bang, bang.
Cold light descended like rain, the wave of attacks obstructing Yu Ji. Yu Ji herself did not react in time. After contracting with Chen Mo, Wang Yuanji’s condition was already restored. Add on that Chen Mo possessed Pure Yang Star Energy, the girl was astonished to discover that her darts were much fiercer than before.
“Today truly is my lucky day. I just killed one, and now there are more. Looks like I, Shen Guang, can ascend to Heavenly Star.”6
A sneer echoed from above the crumbling stele.
The three girls looked up and saw a golden armored and golden haired woman appear. She held a Coiling Dragon Crouching Tiger iron staff. Four stars shimmered upon it, its golden light intimidating.
“Shen Guang?? Never heard of your Star Name.” Yu Ji scoffed.
Shen Guang took no offense at all. She looked at them as if she was looking at corpses: “Earthly Zongchi Star ‘Corporeal Flying Immortal’ Shen Guang. This place will be your grave.”
The woman’s figure flickered, and she instantly vanished from their sight.
“Careful.” Yu Ziqi barely brought out the Ten Thousand Ancient Weapons Grave.
“Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff Yellow Rank: Tune Shift!”7
Shen Guang’s speed was very swift, inconceivably appearing in front of Yu Ji. The Star Weapon Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff she wielded swung down on Yu Ji. The woman had no qualms whatsoever hurting one of Star World’s Seven Beauties.
This attack would have left the weakened Yu Ji on death’s door.
A dozen darts attacked at this time, moving swift as a storm. Shen Guang had no choice but to withdraw and defend using the staff..
Yellow Rank Flying Rain caused Shen Guang’s attack to be fruitless. The woman disdainfully stared at Wang Yuanji.
“Throw away these two pieces of trash, you still have a chance to escape with your life right now!”
Hearing Shen Guang call herself and her elder sister trash, Yu Ji’s chest was about to explode from fury.
Wang Yuanji lowered her hands. Ten Winding Stream Dragonfly Darts were at her fingertips. Her blue eyes were as calm as a lake. “I promised that person that I would protect them.”
That person?8
A strange way of phrasing.
Shen Guang continued: “Then I shall tell you in another way. We each kill one Star General. Once we kill the sisters Yu Ziqi and Yu Ji, we can definitely ascend into Heavenly Spirit Realm from Heavenly Spirit Three Calamities.”
Wang Yuanji was expressionless, as if she had completely turned a deaf ear. The woman raised both her hands. Her slender fingers flicked, and the darts shot forth at high speed, forming an extremely cold blue light that passed through space and became Dark Rank “Black Light Ice Shiver.”
Negotiations had broken down!
“Fool, then you can die.” Shen Guang’s shame turned into rage. She roared, brandishing the iron staff in her hands.
The Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff shook with a dragon cry. The shadow of a yellow dragon flew out and coiled around the staff. This dragon-shadow unleashed every kind of killing intent, wreaking havoc in space.
Dark Rank Dragon Roar.
The darts in her hand fanned out, her golden hair fluttered, and Wang Yuanji rapidly attacked. The darts sprinkled purple light, endlessly entangling the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff like a misty rain.
Similarly, Dark Rank: Purple Cloud Shower.
…
“Big Sis, what do we do. Is Chen Mo crazy?” Yu Ji was somewhat at a loss of what to do.
This was the first time Yu Ziqi had ever seen her little sister so concerned about a man.
However, recalling beforehand that he continued to protect them closely, even a stonehearted person would be moved, let alone that Yu Ji was whimsically fantasizing about romance.
“Ai.”
Yu Ziqi sighed.
“Sister?”
“He should have gone to fetch the fifth one, the Earth Origin Pearl.” Yu Ziqi narrowed her eyes and gazed into the abyss.
Yu Ji was shaken, “Don’t tell me.”
“It is inside this abyss. But with so much Primeval Chaos Qi, I fear his odds are poor.”
“Then what do we do?”
Yu Ziqi did not even need to think.
“Run!”
