The Central Star Field was situated at the center of a Star Leyline. Back then, the Purple Rose Star Emperor established Central’s authority and projected it outwards from this center to the entirety of the Inner Star Fields. There was a Star Barrier that separated the Outer and Inner Star Fields. Those with sufficient strength to breach the barrier were able to travel through the Star Fields as they pleased. The Central Star Field had various phenomena like the Devouring Black Hole and the Void Turbulent Flow; the Devouring Black Hole could consume a first-rate Star Name and render them completely destroyed while a Void Turbulent Flow could make send Star Generals and cultivators entering a Star Field into some other Star Field.
Entering the Central Star Field could be described as extremely challenging. Without a travel pass to Central Star Field or talents like the School Of Diplomacy’s, it was very difficult to enter. In general, those tat wished to enter the Central Star Field were required to ride “Astrological” Star Boats.
The “Feng And Shan Sacrifice” was held at the end of the Su Mian Star Era. The Central Star Field was bustling, and the dukes and princes from the other Star Fields all passed through countless routes to gather at the Central Star Field.
Because Chen Mo had Su Mian’s imperial order, he very easily was able to obtain entrance privileges.
Yanhuang City, docks.
Chen Mo, Chen Qinghan and the rest disembarked from their Astrological Star Boat. Chen Mo looked around, a very disappointed appearance.
“Young Master, what do you think?” Gan Jiang and Mo Ye accompanied him along his flanks. Gan Feng blinked.
“Not exactly what I imagined.” Chen Mo pursed his lips. This was the first time he in the Central Star Field. He originally believed as the center of the ten thousand stars and the nine thousand Star Fields’ power, there would be something special about the Central Star Field. Now it seemed no different from the other Star Fields, seas of people everywhere.
“Are you His Distinguished Self Chen Mo?”
An ice-cold voice interrupted Chen Mo’s aesthetic mood.
A woman walked before him at this time. This woman was dressed quite arbitrarily. Half of her face was covered with a gorgeous tattoo, but her gaze was sharp; she appeared very solitary.
“You are?” Chen Mo nodded.
“Your Servant is ‘Tattooed Face General’ Di Qing! Your Servant is specially here on Her Majesty’s orders to serve Your Distinguished Self Chen Mo.” The woman introduced herself.
Tattooed Face General Di Qing, one of the Central Star Field’s Ten Permanent Functionaries.
Di Qing, huh.
Chen Mo held deep veneration for this Star Name. During the Song Dynasty, there were few military officials. Only Di Wuxiang,1 made meritorious contributions in Guangnan and thus rose slightly in prominence. Emperor Renzong installed him into various high offices and managed him well.2
The Purple Rose Star Palace was the head of Star World’s Nine Palaces. Located in the Northern Heaven Central, it was also called the Center Palace. Outside of the palace were the Three Enclosure Palaces. Each layer was like a heavenly body’s orbit, and each Enclosure Place also had “Ten Permanent Functionaries” and “Purple Rose Generals” standing guard, forming strict defensive measures. Chen Mo wanted to enter the “Three Enclosures,” so he needed Black Masked General to lead the way.
However, the Purple Rose Star Palace was extremely strict. Chen Mo actually was not in such a rush to go look; he was more interested in looking at other places in the Central Star Field.
“I will come find you later. I don’t want to go to the Purple Rose Star Palace yet right now.”
“Hm? What would Your Distinguished Self like to do?” Di Qing was expressionless, her gaze stern. “Her Majesty fears some things have changed. Even the Central Star Field is not safe.” The woman glanced at Zhao Luotong. Very clearly, she was only concerned with the Song Zhao Star Name.
“Your Servant’s orders are to escort Your Distinguished Self back.”
Seeing that Di Qing was a bit inflexible, Chen Mo was very helpless.
“Forget it, I will not go strolling around. This Palace is weary and wants to rest first.” Little Senior Sister Zhao Kuanyin stretched herself. “I will go with you back to the Purple Rose Star Palace first.”
“This will do.” Di Qing nodded.
But now, it was Chen Mo’s turn to be a bit worried.
“Relax, how could I be so fainthearted if the Central Star Field’s master wished to kill me.” Zhao Luotong twitched her mouth, disagreeing.
“En.”
“Young Master, where are we going?” Mo Huang asked curiously. “Why not go to the Purple Rose Star Palace to search for the Delta Ursae Majoris Stone?” Gan Feng also cast a puzzled look.
Chen Mo glanced at his aunt. Chen Qinghan knew intuitively: “You want to go listen in on the Delta Ursae Majoris Stone’s location?”
“Those who know themselves and know their enemies will emerge from a hundred battles unscathed.” After entering the Purple Rose Star Palace, their movements were easily restricted. It would be better to listen around first for the Purple Rose Star Palace’s situation, to see just what was happening. The Delta Ursae Majoris Stone was rumored to be the array eye of the palace’s formation. It was extremely important, and stealing it would mean becoming enemies with the Central Star Field. Such a matter would need to be treated seriously. Chen Mo did not want to cause Su Mian problems, but the Northern Dipper Seven Star Stones could not be missing it.
…
“Reporting to Your Majesty. Li Shimin, Liu Che, Liu Xiu, and the other Star Marquis have already arrived at the Central Star Field. They await Your Majesty’s summons.” Yue Li’s voice came from outside the Caiwei Pavilion.
Su Mian was a bit listless as she sat at her window, looking down upon Yanhuang City.
“Elder Sister must prepare for the Feng and Shan Sacrifice. Make them arrange themselves first. Elder Sister will see them later.” A warm voice answered for the preoccupied Su Mian.
Su Mian’s gaze did not shift in the slightest: “Wanyang, are you able to leave seclusion now?”
“Peerless Star Hero” Su Shi Su Wanyang strode to her side and looked at the streets packed with horses and carriages. Following the approach of the Feng and Shan Sacrifice, the streets were increasingly bustling. “It was difficult for Me to recover, yet why did Elder Sister fail at the final stretch?” After the Literary Excellence Convention, Su Wanyang’s vitality was debilitated, and she secluded herself in her chambers. Reportedly, her Heaven Rank took too great a toll on her, however, Su Mian was likely more clear on the cause.
“But I also heard about her. That Xiang Yu is so tyrannical, to actually have killed so many Star Marquis.” Su Wanyang furrowed her brow: “Is this Xiang Yu a newly born Star Name? Why is she so formidable.”
Su Mian grunted.
“Elder Sister, are you really certain about facing the Hegemon King?” Su Wanyang also heard that Dongzi was drained. Hardly a few of the Star Marquis were left.
“You need not worry.” Su Mian smiled: “Right, This Palace has called Chen Mo to the Central Star Field. You will follow This Palace to meet him.”
“Huh?” Su Wanyang blushed. These days, she always had dirty dreams about that man every night, “I do not want to see him.”
“I feel Chen Mo is not a bad person. Want This Palace act as your go-between? Never in Star World has a Star General married a man. Wanyang, why not be the first, this can be considered a reputation to last the ages.” Su Mian joked.
Su Wanyang did not even need to think about declining. “No, I am not so foolish, to sacrifice my life to give birth to his child…” All of a sudden, Su Wanyang recalled something and stopped. She showed an awkward and ashamed expression. “Cough…Elder Sister, apologies, I did not mean it that way…”
Su Mian smiled, “Oh, This Palace has indeed forgotten that someone has already achieve this reputation.”
Su Wanyang bit her lip and was just about to speak.
Su Mian suddenly said: “Right, Wanyang, why not you help This Palace entertain the Star Marquis. This Palace has something to do right now.”
“I am to go receive the Star Marquis?”
“En, can it be Little Sister is unwilling to help Elder Sister?” Su Mian softly said.
“Very well, Elder Sister, please focus on what your matters.” Su Wanyang did not hesitate to promise.
“En.”
Su Mian’s gaze turned to Maiden Mountain. Filled with a dull grief: “No Matter The Time, Any Place Is Home…Oh, Mother, why would you want to be the first to do that historic thing…”
Dream In A Millennium wanted to know the answer, but there was no one in Star World anymore capable of telling her.
