“You appeared at the right moment.” Chen Mo insincerely smiled.
“I accompanied this Lord Of Heaven ever since we entered the Huang Valley. We are considered friends, for we drank wine together, after all.” Qingyi’s sincerity appeared impeccable.
Chen Mo could not find a hole to exploit, but not matter what, she indeed helped him by killing a Lord Of Heaven for him. If he continued to challenge the other party, he would instead appear to be a small person.
“To be able to instantly kill a Lord Of Heaven, Lady Qingyi’s Star Name surely is not simple. Your Servant is somewhat overwhelmed to be the Lady’s friend.” Chen Mo said.
Qingyi faintly smiled.
“Your Servant has no use for this Heaven Ascending Ruler. Take it, Brother.” Qingyi bluntly took possession of Lord Of Heaven Marching Sky’s Astral Bag. She was somewhat disdainful of that Heaven Earth Grade Spirit Treasure, the Heaven Ascending Ruler.
Heavenly Stars were able to traverse back and forth through Star Fields unfettered. To them, such a magic treasure was indeed useless, but to a cultivator, even a Lord Of Heaven, this was a helpful magic treasure that was necessary.
Chen Mo accepted it, considering his compensation for using the Yellow Emperor God Slaughtering Seal against Lord Of Heaven Marching Sky.
The woman apparently did not have intentions to leave. Chen Mo had no choice but to journey together with her. Qingyi said to him: “I was nearby all along. Brother Mo, Your Servant wonders what power you used, that was something Your Servant had never seen before. It was surprisingly able to surpass a difference of six or seven Realms to instantly kill Universe Origin cultivators.”1
“I inadvertently learned this power from an ancient place. I am not very sure of its name, but as you saw, it is indeed powerful. However, I must rest for a time after each use.” Chen Mo already anticipated she would ask and replied wearing a poker face. Although Qingyi had helped him, he nevertheless did not trust her completely.
Qingyi nodded: “Brother Mo is a Star Warrior?”
“I could not have killed Universe Origin cultivators unless I cultivated Star Energy.”
Qingyi laughed: “As you say. However, in Star World, other than Servant Stars, Star Warriors capable of practicing Star Energy abilities are rare.”
“Your Servant wonders what for what purpose Brother Mo goes to the Yuanshou to hunt qilin?” The woman feigned an innocent question. “Are you perhaps here for a qilin.”
Chen Mo noticed she was probing him. He smiled very honestly: “It is the legendary head of the Holy Beasts. I indeed want to see it. If I can kill it, then I naturally would not miss out. Lady Qingyi, you must also be hunting the qilin?”
“Martial Emperor Liu Hongyu uses ‘qilin’ to convene a Yuanshou to dupe people. She has run amok for centuries now without fear of repercussion. Your Servant feels the time has come to put a stop to this farce on behalf of the Central Star Field.”
Chen Mo was astounded. He gave her a thumbs up: “Lady Qingyi is courageous to not fear the Qilin Martial Emperor. Your Servant is a bit curious about Lady Qingyi’s Star Name.”
“Wait until the Western Fields. If we can work together to hunt qilin, Brother will naturally learn of Your Servant’s Star Name. Brother Mo, are you willing?” Qingyi lowered her gaze and faintly smiled.
“That is great, of course. However, we had better look at this Yuanshou’s situation first. We must be careful.” Chen Mo still urged caution. “The top priority is that we must first receive the qualifications to be Qilin Cub.”
“This will be easy.”
Qingyi smiled.
…
Houxiu stood atop a gorgeous mountain peak. The cool breeze blew the girl’s hair, fluttering warmly upon her beautiful face. The young woman used her eyes that could peer through Heaven and Earth to survey the valley.
In a range of a hundred li, no living creature could escape her sight.
Chen Mo and Qingyi’s particulars also entered her eyes.
“How incredible, is this the legendary Five Emperors Seal? Back then, Li Si, the founder of the ‘One Form For Eternity’ Calligraphy School, studied meticulously in the Connecting Valley. I never imagined she actually succeeded.” The rhinoceros-armored and silk-garbed woman let out a sigh of exclamation.
The girl beside her was aloof, as calm as still waters. “His Immemorial Five Emperors Seal is still not mature.”
“Capable of instantly killing a Lord Of Heaven despite not being mature. Then if it matures, would even Princess be hard-pressed to handle it?” Tayan’s brow tightly wrinkled.
“Star World already is unable to allow the Immemorial Five Emperors Seal be capable of its true potential. Back then, Li Si barely devised it, but in the end, she was unable to control the Five Emperors Seal. She had no choice but to seal it away in the Connecting Valley.” Houxiu softly said, as if she was complaining about something insignificant. “The Central Star Field and the Sixteen Star Marquis may have coveted it, but there is no one who can succeed.”
“How could that man have obtained it?” Tayan was puzzled. If she had not seen it herself, she basically could not possibly believe that an Earthly Immortal actually was capable of controlling the Five Emperors Seal.
“They say…Only power that comes from Maiden Mountain is capable of making the Five Emperors Seal submit…” Houxiu lifted her gaze to stared at the far-off mountain. At the very ends of the Star Field, she seemed to see an enormous mountain that jutted into the cosmos and primordial chaos.
“I truly want to see it.” The girl softly sighed.
Tayan was silent. If it was any other Star Marquis or a slightly ambitious Star General, if they learned that an Earthly Immortal had obtained the Five Emperors Seal, then they would use any means possible to bring that man under their control. But she was very aware of her princess’ personality. To her, Star World’s disputes were insignificant.
There was never a thing that could stir Houxiu.
However, Tayan found that, for the first time, her princess was looking at a man more than once.
“The Dragon Of Pushan has joined hands with that man now. Presumably, she wants to exploit the Five Emperors Seal’s power to hunt the Four Symbols White Tiger. Perhaps they can actually succeed. Sister Houxiu, will this not be somewhat unfavorable for us?” Tayan’s eyes already began to flare with murderous intent.
Houxiu shook her head, not minding at all.
“Eh.”
An astonished gasp suddenly came from above. Tayan looked up to find a Lord Of Heaven cultivator had arrived here. The Lord Of Heaven saw the two women were whispering to one another and stared at them for a long time.
Due to that simple and honest air about Houxiu, the Lord Of Heaven was practically unable to sense any threat or pressure from her. But the moment Houxiu gently raised her gaze, the Lord Of Heaven seemed to be electrified, showing an amazed expression.
“So beautiful, could you be one of Star World’s Seven Beauties?” The Lord Of Heaven grinned. He immediately had the idea to take her and clawed with his hand. A cloud-qi emerged from his palm, unfolding towards the two women like a roll of silk. “Come serve This Lord Of Heaven.”
“Outrageous!!”
Tayan bellowed and intercepted the cloud-qi.
The cloud-qi had boundless magic energy, as if it was an ocean. “Even a True Phoenix Star General cannot flee from my, Lord Of Heaven Cloud Approaches’, ‘Churning Cloud Sumeru Realm.” Lord Of Heaven Cloud Approaches disdainfully smiled. Cloud-light twinkled and trapped Tayan. Although this woman was also beautiful, she was much inferior compared to that elegant white-clothed woman.
Lord Of Heaven Cloud Approaches shifted his thoughts. His “Cloud Wave Annihilation” sword array emerged from out of thin air. Layers of cloud seemed to devour gorgeous mountaintop in its entirety.
Houxiu extended a finger.
“To have allowed the princess to take action is Subordinate’s dereliction of duty. Please leave this to Tayan.” The girl knelt and pleaded.
Lord Of Heaven Cloud Approaches was taken aback. What the hell, a princess?
That apparently very gorgeous woman’s status seemed to be high.
“As if you can look down on This Lord Of Heaven’s Sumeru Realm.” Lord Of Heaven Cloud Approaches sneered. He operated his magic energy at full power. The sea of clouds rolled with waves, and endless magic energy squeezed the mountain. He wanted to destroy their will.
Houxiu lowered her beautiful finger.
Tayan rose. Facing the sea of clouds and waves, she fiercely roared. The layers of cloud-light suddenly dimmed. Lord Of Heaven Cloud Approaches was incredulous as a weapon already manifested in Tayan’s hand.
Rather than weapon, it would be more accurate to say it was akin to a pennant.
As condensed as azure waters, dense as Heaven and Earth, assuming form according to her will. It was wide like a vast ocean, flowing like a splendid river of stars everywhere, auspicious and pleasant.
“Water And Heaven United!!”2
The color drained from the Lord Of Heaven’s face as he recognized this Destined Star Weapon: “You are ‘Wave Quelling Dragon King’ Ma Yuan!!”3
“Then that means…Could you…Be…” Each of Lord Of Heaven Cloud Approaches’ words trembled.
“Wave Queller is Your Servant’s Innate Skill.” Tayan sneered.
Lord Of Heaven Cloud Approaches’ cloud-light suddenly vanished.
