The bright starry sky stretched over ten thousand li, and a vast galaxy spread to the ends of the horizon, filled with twinkling stars.
The Connecting Valley that lost its Primeval Chaos qi had a picturesque nightscape. A cool wind blew, and the serene night’s sounds of nature could be heard, enchanting to the ear. But to the group that had just emerged from the Five Emperors Seal underground palace, the lovely scenery was unable to that heavy exhaustion in their hearts.
“Are you leaving?”
Atop a high mountain, underneath the starry sky.
Chen Mo stared at Wang Yuanji’s lake-like beauty.
While the Commandery Princess Of Lanling’s expression was still apathetic, her blue eyes were all the more depressed. The girl did not hesitate to say: “Sister Xianzhi and Sister Xiang Starfell here. Xixue must return to the Wang Clan of Langya to beg forgiveness with Sister Ningmei.”
“I’m also very sorry about their Starfalls…But you can’t shoulder the responsibility for this reason.” Chen Mo was a bit distressed at the girl’s sorrow.
“I will go with you back to the Wang Clan of Langya!”
“No, you cannot.” Wang Yuanji turned down his kindness.
“We already signed a contract, you still treat me as an outsider?” Chen Mo furrowed his brow.
Wang Yuanji gently shook her head. The girl did not say anything, but her quiet eyes were stronger than any reply.
“The Wang Clan is very strict. If they learn that you are my Servant Star, they will treat you poorly. I do not wish for things to be difficult for you.”
Chen Mo wrinkled his brow: “But for you to go back like this.”
“If you return with me, there will actually be more trouble.”
“Very well, then.” Seeing she was so resolute, Chen Mo could only relent: “But no matter what happens, I will hurry and find you.”
“I promised Sister Xianzhi. I will live on, for sure.” Wang Yuanji quietly said. She paused, then continued: “The Thousand Gold Pavilion dispatched Xiao Mohe to kill Sister Xianzhi. This enmity can never be forgiven. The Wang Clan is certain to take revenge. Xiao Mohe is following you now, but if something happens in the future, you are on your own. Someday, if our sides must battle, Xixue will definitely stake everything for revenge.”
Chen Mo bitterly smiled.
He feared that the hostility between Xiao Mohe and Wang Yuanji would take a very long time to disappear.
Below the mountain.
Jiang Yuezhuo and Mi Fu were chatting. “Sister Yuezhuo, just what kind of person is your Junior Brother? He surprisingly is able to obtain the Five Emperors Seal and form a Servant Star Contract with Wang Yuanji.”
After learning of the events in the ruins, the Unknown Literati was now full of curiosity regarding Chen Mo’s identity.
Jiang Yuezhuo was not sure either, however, after he solved the Supreme Ultimate Diagram game, she was not at all surprised by anything that involved Chen Mo.
“He actually can even win over Xiao Mohe. She is the Heaven Devouring Demon King.” Mi Ji spoke and sighed. “I think the Xuannü Seven Stars are about to become the Xuannü Eight Stars.”
“He has the Five Emperors Seal now. If word of this spreads, I wonder if this will prove to be fortune or misfortune.”
“Let us keep it secret for now.”
The two of them chatted. Suddenly, they saw a clear light flash in the night sky. A copper chariot appeared. There saw a single young woman aboard it. She was none other than Commandery Princess Of Lanling Wang Yuanji.
Wang Yuanji drove the chariot very quickly, vanishing into the night sky.
Then, Chen Mo descended the mountain.
“Why didn’t you keep Wang Yuanji?” Mi Fu asked.
“Wang Xianzhi Starfell here. She has to go back.”
“But won’t something happen? You two are bound by Servant Star Contract.”
“Given Wang Xianzhi’s attitude towards Wang Yuanji, nothing should happen.” Chen Mo actually was not worried.
Mi Fu sighed: “Ai, Wang Xianzi is the Little Sage Buried In Books, comparable to the Wang Xizhi’s Calligraphy School. Pity she unexpectedly Starfell here.” As someone who was an expert in calligraphy, the Unknown Literati was quite regretful.
Chen Mo suddenly recalled something. He flipped his wrist over to reveal several tablet fragments.
“This is Wang Xizhi’s Orchid Pavilion Preface True Work. Wang Xianzhi left it behind. Can you two restore it?”
“Eh? Wang Xizhi’s True Work?” The two girls huddled over. Although the tablet was smashed, the characters were still faintly discernible. Given their skill, they actually could restore it.
“You didn’t give it back to the Wang Clan of Langya?” Mi Ji teased.
“Sister Yuezhuo’s Sequel will be successful with this True Work, let alone that the Wang Clan has most of Wang Xizhi’s Orchid Pavilion Preface True Work. They won’t mind.” Chen Mo admitted he quite liked Wang Yuanji, but he did not really care for the Wang Clan. Presently speaking, Mount Hua’s Senior Sisters were much more important.
“Let’s go back and restore it. When the time comes, these fragments can be combined into an Astral Treasure. Sister Yuezhuo will be amazing. Even against the Nine Elders, you won’t need to be afraid.” Mi Fu said in excitement.
Jiang Yuezhuo was unable to refuse the enticement of the Calligraphy Sage’s True Work.
A noise came from the forest. The group turned to see two women walk over. One of them was an absolute beauty. Even the vast curtain of night dimmed under her beauty.
“Chen Mo, were are going back for now to report to the Hegemon King.” Yu Ji looked at her sister, Yu Ziyu.
Yu Ziyu’s injuries were somewhat mended. She barely nodded, speaking a bit powerlessly: “Many thanks for your aid this time. I would like to know why you helped us?”
“Is it because of my beauty?” Yu Gewu batted her eyes.
Mi Fu jealously snorted.
Chen Mo smiled: “I had some contact with one of the Five Great Generals. She helped me in the past, and since you’re her friends, that naturally makes you my friends, too.”
“Who?” Yu Ziyu’s brow wrinkled. One of Her Excellency Xiang Yu’s Five Great Generals had an exchange with a man. She never imagined this had happened.
“It must be Sister Long Ju.” Yu Gewu said with certainty: “I knew I felt something familiar. Your Book Of Changes Black Turtle was definitely something she passed on to you.”
Chen Mo smiled, “Sanmei. Is she well right now?”
“Zhongli Mo? Could it be that the one you know is the King Of Extinguished Ashes?” Yu Ziqi muttered: “I indeed heard that she had stayed in the Outer Star Fields for a period of time…”
“Zhongli Mo is currently in the middle of recovery. She is already nearly Heavenly Star. You need not worry about her, the Hegemon King treats her very well.” Yu Ziqi said.
“I’ll have to go see her when I have time.” Chen Mo said.
“However, we cannot disclose the Hegemon King’s location to an outsider.” Yu Gewu pursed her lips and smiled.
Chen Mo understood, for he had also heard some rumors. Ever since the Hegemon King’s Star Name was born, the majority of the Sixteen Star Marquis had long been eager. Even the Central Star Field was somewhat apprehensive.
“Since we already know you are related to her, we owe you one this time. We will not tell anyone regarding you and the Five Emperors Seal.” Yu Ziyu vowed.
Chen Mo thanked them.
“Gewu, let’s go.”
“Chen Mo, This Lady will find you at Mount Hua when there’s a chance in the future. This Lady wants to see those Ancient Five Emperors, too.” Yu Gewu pointed at Chen Mo as if issuing a challenge.
Yu Ziyu was frustrated with her little sister’s romanticized fantasies. Ordinarily, she fantasized about the Purple Rose Star Emperor. Now, if they actually indulged her, that perhaps would waste several months.
The King Of Bronze stared at Chen Mo.
This man was actually different from the rest, indeed. He was outstanding in bearing, and whether it be his strength or Realm, Yu Ziyu herself was endlessly astounded by him. He currently was even able to persuade the Heaven Devouring Demon King Xiao Mohe to follow him. Someday, if the Hegemon King challenged Star World, having this man’s aid would be a good thing.
When she returned, she would have to thoroughly inquire with the King Of Extinguished Ashes and the King Of Qiankun, ask about the particulars of this man.
After bidding farewell to Commandery Princess Of Lanling Wang Yuanji and sending off King Of Bronze Yu Ziqi and Wife Of The Hegemon King Yu Ji, the empty valley became cold and cheerless. During this trip to the Connecting Valley, not only had Chen Mo obtained the legendary Five Emperors Seal, he even was able to surprisingly contract with Wang Yuanji and win over Xiao Mohe. This could be said to be unimaginable. But this was also the first time that Chen Mo had felt a Star General’s cruelty.
Several top-notch Star Generals had Starfallen in succession as quickly as a snap of the fingers.
Before overwhelming power, any sense of ease was a pavilion in the air.
Chen Mo could not help but remember Auntie. Auntie charged into the Central Star Field, rising to fame and provoking fear and deadly pursuits from every party. Some time ago, she even issued a challenge of single combat to the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom’s “Lord Commander God Of War,” the fierce general, Gui Ziyi.1 Chen Mo knew that his current strength was still insufficient. As long as he was unable to face a Star General’s Heaven Rank without withdrawing, he had no way to help Auntie.
He could only become stronger.
Returning to the Verse Pavilion on the second day, news that the Connecting Valley’s Five Emperors Seal had been unsealed quickly spread throughout the Cangwu Star Field. Then, the Wang Clan of Langya’s Wang Ningzhi, Wang Caozhi, Wang Laozhi and more mustered the clan’s disciples and advanced on the Thousand Gold Pavilion in force, but the situation was quieter than imagined.
Lady Wei was of the Thousand Gold Pavilion, and the Thousand Gold Pavilion had the backing of the Star Marquis. As the overseer of the Cangwu Star Field’s Thousand Gold Pavilion, the Wang Clan did not dare to actually kill Lady Wei. Furthermore, treasure hunting in Connecting Valley was always a dangerous matter. Life and death was one’s choice; others could not be blamed. One could only blame themself for not being strong enough.
In the end, the Wang Clan could only direct their animosity towards Heaven Devouring Demon King Xiao Mohe.
When the Wang Clan came around to inquire Chen Mo, he did not see Wang Yuanji. However, seeing as how the Wang Clan did not come to find him specifically, the Commandery Princess Of Lanling did not divulge their situation.2
Afterwards, the Lü Clan Spring And Autumn, who had similarly lost Lü Meng, also directed their hatred against Xiao Mohe.
In a short time, Heaven Devouring Demon King Xiao Mohe practically became the nemesis of several major powers in the Star Field. Mi Fu slightly sighed when she learned of this. Whether Chen Mo obtaining Xiao Mohe’s accompaniment was a good or bad thing remained to be seen.
However, what puzzled Chen Mo was that, while it was considered normal for neither Wang Yuanji nor Huang Tingjian to expose him, Lady Wei’s lips being apparently sealed was quite surprising.
Just like this, Chen Mo continued to cultivate the Five Emperors Seal. Jiang Yuezhuo and Mi Fu used all their power to restore the Orchid Pavilion Preface True Work and prepared to assemble all the True Work inscriptions into an Astral Treasure.
Seven days later, Verse Pavilion.
An uninvited guest broke the serene residence’s tranquility. The approaching woman was garbed in black clothes with a long skirt, as if she was covered in dark clouds. She approached the Verse Pavilion like a lead cloud.
Gods And Demons Spectral Clothes.
Jiang Yuezhuo and Mi Fu hastily ran out from inside their room.
Chen Mo stepped forward and approached the woman. “You’ve arrived.”
The woman pulled down her hood to reveal a beautiful and deadly face. A pair of slender purple pupils were full of a terrifying aura. She was none other than Heaven Devouring Demon King Xiao Mohe.
The past few days, Xiao Bore had specifically gone to investigate the Sui Ye Star Kingdom and determined the veracity of Chen Mo’s words. Since she agreed to follow him, Xiao Mohe naturally would not leave.
“This is something Lady Wei requested that I give you.” The woman lifted her hand to reveal a mirror.
Chen Mo saw that this was Lü Yu’s magic treasure, the Spring And Autumn Mirror.
“What does Lady Wei mean by this?” Chen Mo asked.
“When a woman gives something to a man, she obviously fancies you.” Mi Fu said in astonishment. She was quite understanding of Lady Wei. Given the lady’s methods, perhaps this was a gesture of goodwill.
Chen Mo would not refuse the Thousand Gold Pavilion’s goodwill. This Spring And Autumn Mirror was not a bad magic treasure, and it would be pretty good to give to someone for defense.
“How is your control over the Five Emperors Seal?” Xiao Bore asked.
“More or less proficient.” Chen Mo grinned: “Do you want to test me?”
Xiao Bore said: “Although you obtained the Five Emperors Seal, this is still next to nothing if you want to defeat the Sui Ye Star Kingdom’s Nine Elders.”
“I can only risk it once.” Chen Mo had no options. He already exhausted everything to increase his strength, but Star General’s were Star World’s apex existences. They could not be surpassed with simple cultivation.
“For the sake of growing strong, I want to know how great your courage is, what price you can pay.” Xiao Mohe said.
“Hm, Bore, if you have something to say, just say it. I’ll give it thorough consideration.” Chen Mo was not the impulsive type.
“Would you like to compete a bout against Qilin Martial Emperor Liu Che, Liu Hongyu?” Xiao Mohe lowered her voice, seemingly sneering.
