Heavenly Pass Star, Star Monarch Hall.
Lan Xiuzhu stood at the entrance of the grand hall, looking up at the stars in the sky, his face still wearing the same gentle smile that hadn’t changed over the years.
Light footsteps approached, and a small figure emerged from the depths of the hall.
Lan Xiuzhu turned his head to look at Meng Qingchan, who appeared as a seven or eight-year-old girl, his smile widened: “Senior Sister, you look radiant, your Dao must have already progressed further.”
Meng Qingchan’s face turned dark.
The way she looked now, how could one describe it as radiant?
It’s all because of that damned Chen Mu!
“Plotting against Lv Yue, harming the Star Lord, and leading the Nether Demon Heavenly Demons to invade.” Meng Qingchan glared at Lan Xiuzhu: “If Pure Yang Dao were to find out about these things you’ve done, huh!”
“Senior Brother Lv was counterattacked by the Plague Immortal Flag’s plague poison, devoured the Jiao Mu Star Lord was by your Green Worm Poison, as for the Nether Demon Heavenly Demons invading, hehe…” Lan Xiuzhu kept smiling.
“If not for Senior Sister swallowing the Jiao Mu Star Lord, causing the Star Spirit Light to fail, how would the Nether Demon Heaven have found the opportunity to invade?”
Meng Qingchan was so angry she laughed.
If it weren’t for you pushing things from behind, which of these could have succeeded?!
“You don’t think Pure Yang Dao would reason with you, do you?” Meng Qingchan sneered.
“Of course, they won’t reason, but what if I can bring enough benefits to Pure Yang Dao?” Lan Xiuzhu chuckled.
“Destroying the All Heaven Star Battle Array, what benefits could that possibly bring to Pure Yang Dao?” Meng Qingchan frowned.
“It’s just that several Dao Ancestors feel the human world is a bit too peaceful.” Lan Xiuzhu spoke with amusement.
Feeling the human world is peaceful, so they invite demons to invade?
This… this is the Qi Refining Orthodox?
How come their actions feel even more evil than my demonic ways!
Moreover, several Dao Ancestors?
Do Tianhe and Luofu also have a part in this?!
Meng Qingchan suddenly felt tight all over.
“Senior Sister wants to know the specific reason?” Lan Xiuzhu smiled wryly.
“No, I don’t want to know at all.” Meng Qingchan decisively turned and left.
Lan Xiuzhu stirred up this mess too thick.
She made up her mind, once she devoured the Jiao Mu Star Lord, she’d leave immediately.
…
Fire Dao Star.
The underground narrow cavern was widened by Chen Mu, covering an area of over a hundred square meters, with a height of more than ten meters.
Embedded in the rock walls, the fluorescent algae lamp balls illuminated the dark cavern brightly.
“Zhou Tong’s plan to traverse the void plainly has pitfalls, I’d be better off catalyzing the Ghost Gate for ground shrinking myself.”
Chen Mu sat on a stone platform projecting from the wall, while using the Exquisite Jade Plate to restore his mana, ruminating on how to leave the Fire Dao Star.
The thousands of ghosts in the Five Ghosts Bag had already been transmitted with the Secret Technique Netherworld Ferry, it was by relying on them to jointly cast Ghost Gate within the Yunzhou Tianhe Law Realm that he successfully escaped.
Now, just repeating the old strategy, he could successfully leave Fire Dao Star.
“The massive collection of demon beast corpses collected earlier is enough to sustain the operation of Ghost Gate.” Chen Mu silently calculated.
Although using this batch of essence might delay his cultivation.
But if one’s life is not secured, the higher the Dao, the more pointless it is.
“Fire Dao Star is occupied by demons, too dangerous, it’s best to leave early.” He made up his mind.
“As for the landing anchor point of Ghost Gate…” Chen Mu’s heart stirred, a vermilion feather magic sword emerged from his sleeve, flying before his eyes.
“Hide a few vermilion feather magic swords in the Heavenly Craft Camp, let Zhou Tong and others take the swords to the Yangmen Star?”
“Once the sword arrives, use it as an anchor point to catalyze Ghost Gate?”
“Just do it!” Chen Mu grinned.
Following Zhou Tong and others in traversing the void posed risks of encountering endless astral winds, but just letting the vermilion feather magic swords hitchhike and smuggle…
“Let the vermilion feather magic sword suffer a bit, if it truly breaks, it can be reforged in the Gourd Sword Box later.” Chen Mu pinched the constantly struggling and trembling vermilion feather magic sword before him, face full of smiles.
Turning his hand to store away the magic sword, he summoned a gray wall and looked at one of its sections.
Nine Cups Calculation Scripture: 5297/10000/Third Rank;
“This scripture still needs practice.”
With the Mechanical Talisman Seed, he and the vermilion feather magic sword can remain spiritually connected.
But if the distance is too great, this connection can become vague.
To make Ghost Gate use it as an anchor point, Nine Cups Calculation Scripture was needed to assist the calculations.
Back when he was in the Tianhe Law Realm, it was the scripture that calculated the landing spot for Ghost Gate.
“The distance between Yangmen Star and Fire Dao Star is unknown, and endless astral winds separate the void.”
“To be safe, the experience level of this scripture should be boosted a bit higher.”
“A deceptive secret technique for calculations has repeatedly become the key to my escape… Tsk tsk, the world indeed is capricious.”
The Nine Cups Calculation Scripture comes from Shen Yan, the military supervisor of Fengdu City in the Netherworld, who used the scripture to fool people with weather forecasts during his lifetime, eventually mixing into a position as a small state adviser.
A peculiar person.
Though the scripture’s accuracy was lacking, at times it completely misled him within the Netherworld, steering him towards hazardous areas rife with strange demons. But it truly did calculate the landing point of Ghost Gate accurately once.
“This secret technique still holds some value within it.”
So… it’s not the technique that’s deficient, but oneself?
“Then let’s grind it!”
…
Within a secluded valley.
The Daoist soldiers in Fire Dao City were bustling with activity.
With mana surging, countless long ropes in the form of overlapped white jade color with snake heads and eagle mouths continually extended and wove, stacking layer upon layer, transforming into an elongated spindle.
Its size comparable to an ocean liner, resembling an elongated giant goose egg.
White gauze soon covered the surface, gradually filling pits and crevices, rendering the surface smooth.
A haze of white smoke arose, enveloping the surroundings, adding an ethereal aura to the spindle.
In a dark corner, within the blind spot of everyone’s vision, a vermilion thread stealthily threaded out of the ground.
It crept along the ground quietly forward, upon nearing the giant egg spindle, quickly slithered into a corner not yet covered by light gauze.
And at the moment it disappeared.
Bang!
Energy wrapped in dust rolled, Zhou Tong’s figure suddenly appeared.
“Could there be any Nether Demon alien species lurking into the valley?” Fei Zhao appeared immediately after.
Zhou Tong shook his head, silently chanting dharma curse, meticulously probing the surroundings, but after a stretch of time, found nothing out of the ordinary.
He slightly exhaled, yet upon glimpsing the blood-colored sky above, his heart sank once more.
Although the Nether Demon Heavenly Demons hadn’t chased the Daoist soldiers extensively, the sky was transformed by Netherworld Demon Technique, enveloped in blood light.
Even though he had perfected his Dao Foundation for years, being shrouded in this blood light still made him agitated.
“Junior Brother, constructing Five Cloud Shuttle must hasten. I always feel this blood light above is evil, staying too long might lead to changes.” Zhou Tong’s expression turned solemn.
Hearing this, Fei Zhao couldn’t help but look serious.
While conversing, the two headed towards Li Jiu, who commanded the Daoist soldiers from afar.
Behind them, the pitted surface of Five Cloud Shuttle was gradually wrapped in Five Clouds Cloth, a thread of vermilion light emerged within the clouds.
It followed a white jade rope, finding its way to the snake-headed eagle-mouth’s end. Then, it pried open the eagle mouth, squeezed into the rope’s interior with familiarity.
…
“Speeding up, leaving sooner?”
“A good thing indeed!”
Within Thousand Lanterns City, Chen Mu reversed his mana to construct his Dao Foundation, while using the Giant Spirit Divine in the exterior cave as a relay, deploying Truth Listening Divine Power to monitor the valley’s changes.
“You leaving Fire Dao Star one day earlier means I gain safety sooner.”
Reflecting on Zhou Tong’s reaction just now, Chen Mu couldn’t help but feel impressed.
“Deserving of being the Heavenly Craft Camp General, truly ruthless, but indeed possesses skills.”
“The seventh vermilion feather magic sword I embedded within Five Cloud Shuttle nearly got discovered by him.”
“Hehe…”
