Back in the Star Realm, Qu Hongshan had sent a Peak Void True God Realm expert to hunt down Chen Fei.
At the time, Qu Hongshan did not know Chen Fei's exact identity, but he knew that the secret art this junior possessed would greatly benefit his own actions within the Star Realm.
In the end, the Peak Void True God Realm expert he sent had perished, body and soul extinguished.
When Qu Hongshan finished handling his affairs and arrived at the scene, he discovered that the junior had already broken through to the Late Void True God Realm.
Using Late Void True God Realm cultivation to defeat a Peak Void True God Realm opponent was naturally an extraordinary display of talent, but in Qu Hongshan's eyes, that was all it was.
After all, Qu Hongshan had captured and killed far too many prodigies who had yet to truly mature. One more meant nothing, especially within a secret realm like the Star Realm, where the deaths of a few prodigies were perfectly normal.
But what followed exceeded Qu Hongshan's expectations.
With his cultivation at the peak of the Early Immortal Realm, he had actually been unable to fully lock onto that junior's aura, allowing him to escape his perception again and again.
At first, Qu Hongshan had merely believed that the junior possessed an Immortal Realm treasure capable of rapidly restoring the Void Secret Treasure he burned away.
But as time passed, Qu Hongshan realized things were not that simple. That junior must possess a supreme treasure useful even to Immortal Realm cultivators, perhaps even a greater secret.
Regardless of which it was, it was worth Qu Hongshan pursuing him relentlessly.
Yet heaven did not grant his wishes. The Star Realm's ruler drove all living beings of Xuan Yu Realm
