The sages’ aspirations bolstered Chen Mo. The Four Symbols Azure Dragon was nowhere to be seen, and the Ten Thousand Sages Hall’s barrier had finally faded. Su Mian approached swift as lightning, her Purple Rose True Qi becoming a divine sword that pierced through the nine firmaments, stabbing into Zhu Yuanzhang’s body.
The blinding light faded, and the Ten Thousand Sages Hall distorted space.
Yet Su Mian was still a step too late. She was inwardly furious to see Zhu Yuanzhang’s True Spirit snatch away the Ten Thousand Sages Hall.
“Wanyang, Chen Mo, are you two alright.”
Chen Mo, Liu Yong, and Su Shi walked out from the ashes and dust. White Clothed Court Official and the Peerless Star Hero were very exhausted and drained of energy. All of their strength had been completely sapped.
Su Mian ordered the Poem And Ode Army to look after the pair.
“Big Brother, you were so amazing, this poem is too overwhelming.” Bai Juyi cupped her fist, a look of reverence on her face.
The other spiritual power Star Generals also gathered around. Everyone looked at Chen Mo in shock.
If it could be said that those verses from before, “each embodying literary excellence for centuries” and “he asked if I would be the Green Emperor,” were grand words that made people sit up and take notice, then this “Spring Snow Seeping into the Land” was sufficient to move Star World and last for eternity.
“Pity that Emperor Qin and Emperor Han of Wu lacked literary talent; Emperors Tang and Song had little literary excellence to speak of…Chen Mo, once your poem gets out, I fear even the Sixteen Star Marquis will not sit around any longer.” Su Mian stared meaningfully at Chen Mo.
“That’s fine.” Chen Mo nodded. “But what do you plan to do about Zhu Yuanzhang?”
In the short moment after Chen Mo’s astonishing “Spring Snow Seeping into the Land,” Su Shi then looked at this sorry Lesser Court Hymns district.
“I never imagined Zhu Jiujiu had such a plan. This Palace was aware that she intended to revolt, but This Palace had heard that hers was a strategy to ‘store up grain reserves, build up the ramparts, and claim the throne in due time.’ This Palace did not follow her closely at all. Never did This Palace consider that she had the assistance of the ‘Divine Son Of Heavenly Mystery,’ nor that she had obtained the Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams. Now, she has even obtained the Universe Eternity Spirit Treasure, the Ten Thousand Sages Hall.”
She completely did not expect that the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, which her father was unable to control, would be seized by someone else.
The Ten Thousand Sages Hall had already flown off, taken by Zhu Yuanzhang’s True Spirit. Of the Seven Sages Of The Bamboo Grove, only Sage Of Writing Han Yu survived, but this was the silver lining of this tragedy. Not only had Sun And Moon True Dragon Zhu Yuanzhang cultivated a True Spirit Projection, she had even refined the combined Sun and Moon, the “Great Ming.” This could be said to be unprecedented. As expected of the strongest of the Sixteen Star Marquis.
Su Mian admitted she had underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang.
“Zhu YUanzhang killed the Seven Sages and stole the Ten Thousand Sages, offending everyone. This Palace must subjugate her and seal her Star Name into the Register Of Stars.” Su Mian said, ice-cold.
“If you need my help, feel free to tell me.” Chen Mo said.
“Of course, it was all thanks to your poem’s Realm that we could suppress Zhu Yuanzhang’s Great Ming. Did you obtain the Azure Dragon?” Su Mian asked.
“Yes.”
At the last moment, Chen Mo and clashed with Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang obtained the Ten Thousand Sages Hall while Chen Mo saved the Azure Dragon at the first moment he could. Now, the Azure Dragon’s True Spirit was in his mind. After coming into possession of the Black Turtle and White Tiger, the Azure Dragon’s refinement did not need much time.
“Good. Wang Anshi.” Su Mian shouted.
“Present!!” Wang Anshi was deferential.
“Inform Dongzi of what happened to the Ten Thousand Sages Hall and of Zhu Yuanzhang’s murder of the Seven Sages. As the Master Of Heaven And Man, she is the model for Star World’s Spiritual Generals, and thus, she should subjugate Zhu Jiujiu.”
The events this time were too serious. Wang Anshi knew that she could not refuse. “Banshan accepts your orders.”
“Your Majesty, this is bad.”
All of a sudden, a Star General penetrated the Lesser Court Hymns district in a panic.
“Is there anything that could be worse than Zhu Yuanzhang killing the Seven Sages?” Su Mian harrumphed.
“Yes, Your Majesty. Dongzi has dispatched Fu Jian, Yang Guang, and Wu Zhao to subjugate Mount Hua and the Zhao of Song’s Purple Rose. God Of Slaughter Bai Qi has also gone there.” That Star General reported.
“What??”
Everyone was astonished.
Jiang Kui, who had been checking on Chen Mo, gripped him tight.
“Subjugate Mount Hua?” Chen Mo’s tone turned cold.
“How audacious. She actually dares to summon the Star Marquis of her own accord without This Palace’s orders!” Su Mian wrinkled her brow.
Hearing of the crusade launched against Mount Hua, everyone was shocked, falling into spirited discussion.
“Chen Mo, do you currently still have energy?” Su Mian asked.
“Even if I die, I’m going back to Mount Hua right now!”
“Good. There is no time to waste. You will follow This Palace together to Mount Hua.”
“Wanyang, Fengxi, thank you, both.” Chen Mo gave them his thanks. The two girls were utterly exhausted. He could not pretend that scene of them exchanging spirits at the Ten Thousand Sages Hall did not happen.
“Circumstances forced Me to, nothing more. Do not misunderstand, I certainly do not like you.” Su Wanyang snorted.
“Your Lord Chen Mo, go save Mount Hua first.” Liu Fengxi was very kindly.
Chen Mo spoke with Jiang Kui and the others because Su Mian’s “School Of Diplomacy” was unable to bring them along.
“Be at ease. I will arrange people for them.”
Su Mian grabbed Chen Mo’s hand and took a step forward, vanishing into thin air.
Everyone looked dazed and confused at the enormous hole where the Ten Thousand Sages Hall was formerly anchored at. They still felt they were dreaming a bit.
“Those who are outstanding look to this age…How did this man compose such a formidable poem!”
“Yes, only a Purple Rose Star could be capable of composing such a poem? He even received the sages’ aspirations…”
“Did you not see that he and Her Majesty Mian are very close? It is no surprise that he was capable. Her Majesty disdains the Star Marquis.”
Everyone discussed, their faces still recalling the Realm from just a moment ago.
“Is Chen Mo actually the reincarnation of the Purple Rose Star Emperor?” Mi Fu was amazed.
Yet Qin Weiyu thought of something else as she listened to them discuss Chen Mo’s Poetry Realm.
Star World will be in upheaval.
…
“Star World will be in upheaval.”
Su Mian brought Chen Mo through void star space by using the “School Of Diplomacy.” The barriers of several dozen Star Fields were passed in a single instant. As they shuttled through, Dream In A Millennium softly sighed. It was unclear if this sigh was because she regretted that the regime her father established was on the precipice of overthrow.
“Zhu Yuanzhang has openly rebelled. Dongzi brazenly flouts your authority and sets Central to subjugate Mount Hua. Su Mian, you lack control over the Central Star Field.” Chen Mo said.
“Confucianism currently wields significant power, and the majority of the Central Star Field are her people. Furthermore, although This Palace has a Star General bloodline, I am, in the end, not a Star Name. They naturally do not submit to This Palace.” Su Mian said.
“Then what do you plan to do?” Chen Mo’s tone was full of killing intent: “The way Fu Jian and Yang Guang treat Mount Hua leaves no room for coexistence!”
“Chen Mo, you cannot panic. Leave everything to This Palace. This Palace has been very discontent with some of the Star Marquis as well.” Su Mian said, calm as water.
Chen Mo knew that he could not get flustered no matter how bad things got. After all, three Great Star Marquis could not be done away with just some bold words alone.
“Right, can you give your weapon to This Palace to look at?” Su Mian asked.
Chen Mo handed Northern Dipper to her.
Su Mian took it into her grasp. Her white hand gently ran over Northern Dipper, her gaze as gentle and warm as water. Chen Mo was a bit perplexed. Dream In A Millennium seemed to be full of feelings for Northern Dipper.
All of a sudden, Su Mian’s wrist flipped. A gem appeared in her palm. This gem was resplendent, glowing, as if it was a star.
“This is the Eta Ursae Majoris Stone?!” Chen Mo was taken aback.
“Your weapon appears to need the seven Northern Dipper Star Stones. This Palace just so happened to have one. Treat this as a thank you gift for saving Wanyang.” Su Mian smiled and said. She gently pressed, inserting the Eta Ursae Majoris Star Stone into its corresponding slot. Purple qi flowed from her palm. A moment later, this Eta Stone was embedded in the Northern Dipper. Then, she handed the Northern Dipper back to Chen Mo.
“Many thanks.” Chen Mo said gratefully.
“You were able to achieve the Ten Thousand Sages Simultaneously Shout this time, receive the sages’ aspirations. Perhaps This Palace will have to trouble you in the future to take care of those Star Marquis.” Su Mian faintly grinned. Her smile was beautiful and relaxed, putting him at ease. “This Palace actually knows of the other Northern Dipper Seven Star Stones and will help you complete the Northern Dipper.”
“Huh, you treat me so well, I don’t even know how to thank you.” Su Mian’s passion left Chen Mo a bit surprised.
“You will always have the opportunity to repay This Palace.” Su Mian gazed through the void star space, her eyes aglow.
Chen Mo felt Su Mian apparently had something weighing heavily on her mind.
…
Sun And Moon Star Kingdom, Ming City.
Great Ming Palace.
A seven or eight year old girl currently sat atop the lofty imperial throne. To her left and right, there were two martial generals. They stood upright and straight, emitting a ferocity like that of a sword.
The two women wore the contrasting styles of the sun and moon for their armor. One gripped a bright and flaming Coiled Dragon Spear, the other held an ice-cold Phoenix Spear. The two women stood left and right with imposing formidability. They had a kind of might that did not allow even an army to intrude upon them.
All of a sudden, the girl sitting on the throne opened her eyes. This girl’s expression was cold and unfeeling, completely lacking a child’s naivete. On the contrary, she brimmed with a kind of extremely profound detachedness. Her pupils were the sun and moon, very peculiar. The girl’s hands gripped the throne tightly, and she vomited blood, her complexion incomparably pale.
“Your Majesty!!”
The generals inquired nervously.
“Chen Mo, I actually should have killed this man!!” The girl spat out bone-chilling killing intent.
The two generals glanced at each other. Chen Mo? Man? What was the meaning of this?
“Your Majesty, is the Ten Thousand Sages Hall a failure?”
“Sun And Moon True Dragon” Zhu Jiujiu rose. When this apparently immature body stood up, the entire vast and magnificent hall became miniscule. “My projection has already obtained the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, but there was a slight mishap.”
The two female generals were even more grim. “Divine Son Of Heavenly Mystery” Liu Bowen used the “Baked Sesame Cake Song”1 to deduce the mystery of the Ten Thousand Sages Hall and had planned for everything. They even made use of the timing of Dongzi’s Mount Hua Subjugation during the “Literary Excellence Convention” to prepare their plan to seal the sages. So long as they obtained the Universe Eternity Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Sages Hall, they completely did not need to fear the power of the Central Star Field.
“Although the projection is heavily injured, she fortunately has the Writings Of the Huainan Masters. By the time I cultivate the Great Ming to perfection, hmph, controlling the Central Star Field will be as easy as turning my hand.”
“But Your Majesty, Dream In A Millennium will definitely not leave the matter at that. She will inevitably send a punitive force against us.” The general with the Coiled Dragon Spear anxiously said.
“Do not worry. Three Great Star Marquis have encircled Mount Hua. Su Mian is unable to intervene at this time because she is occupied. So long as I use the Ten Thousand Sages Hall to protect the Great Ming Palace and cultivate the Great Ming to perfection, it will be sufficient to handle Central.” Zhu Jiujiu sneered: “Send the order to make Li Rusong and Li Xueqing lead two million Sun And Moon Star Soldiers to stand guard outside.”
“As you command.”
Zhu Jiujiu walked out of the palace and lifted her head to gaze at the sky.
Although she had obtained the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, she had regretfully lost the Azure Dragon, leaving it incomplete. Why was that damned man capable of such a feat. Zhu Jiujiu was inwardly resentful.
“Pity that Emperor Qin and Emperor Han of Wu lacked literary talent; Emperors Tang and Song had little literary excellence to speak of…Those who are outstanding look to this age.”
Zhu Jiujiu narrowed her eyes. An overbearing qi surged. Even the Sun And Moon True Dragon felt this poem’s Realm was inconceivable. Why would a man without a Purple Rose Star Name have such superb Purple Rose comprheension. However, what made Zhu Jiujiu more displeased was that this poem mentioned the Ancestral Dragon, the Emperor of Wu, Tang, Song, and even Genghis Khan who once led an assault on the world. But he made no mention of her, the Sun And Moon True Dragon.
How could she, Zhu Jiujiu, be unable to compare to these people.
“Chen Mo!! You dare despise me. I will surely make you realize that Star World is under the Great Ming and that your poem is nothing but a laughingstock.”
Zhu Jiujiu opened her eyes.
Space broke apart, and a hall emerged.
