Heavenly Sun Star Palace

"Devouring Moon!"

Chen Fusheng thought the name was quite domineering.

He raised his hand, gripping the hilt of the saber, and suddenly realized that Devouring Moon had life!

It seemed to be breathing, pulsating, harboring an unparalleled power.

However, Chen Fusheng swung it a few times but couldn't grasp the method, finding it even more unfathomable.

"To control Devouring Moon, you need to clearly see the star skill engravings on it."

Huang Tiancheng took a bowl of medicinal juice refined from the treasures of Spirit Fish from the fire vein. Seeing Chen Fusheng swinging the saber with his eyes closed, he spoke in an aged voice,

"Devouring Moon, remember not to show it to others easily, and I hope you won't bury its potential in the future."

Chen Fusheng nodded, coming back to his senses. It seemed Devouring Moon was connected to Huang Tiancheng's past.

He gulped down the fish treasure medicinal juice, feeling like his butt was on fire, and rushed towards the back mountain under the night.

In the reflection of the moonlight and starlight, the black jade scimitar he held refracted the halo of the bright moon, scattering it among the rocks, forming the image of a moon disc.

Tian Yuan Star Observation Manor, Inner Courtyard.

The Star Palace hung high in the firmament, silvery-white and magnificent, like a celestial palace in the Milky Way. Under the traction of the operating rules of the stars in the sky, the Star Palace slowly rotated.

At the core of the Star Palace, a huge stone platform stood tall, engraved with various strange ancient patterns, sun, moon, stars, primordial beasts, flowers, birds, fish, insects, divine weapons, and so on.

This was the Star Observation Platform, surrounded by nebulae, like a spine connecting the Nine Heavens. Standing here, one could better observe the sun, moon, and major stars, making it the core pillar of the Star Palace.

An old man wearing a blue Daoist robe sat cross-legged on the platform, looking up at the crescent moon hanging in the starry sky.

"Lord!"

A ghostly woman leaped onto the Star Observation Platform, uttering a hoarse voice, "The statistics of those suffering from Cold Syndrome throughout the Tian Yuan Kingdom are complete. Do you need to make a trip yourself?"

"Is he still alive?" the old man muttered to himself, gazing at the moon.

"In this subordinate's humble opinion, what you've searched for high and low comes effortlessly. This time, it will surely work."

"You have a way with words."

The old man couldn't help but smile, "That secret realm is about to open. Are we just going to turn back like this? Go verify it as soon as possible. I'm a little tired after all these years."

The ghostly woman remained silent, noticing that the Lord's spine was somewhat hunched. These ten years had passed like a thousand, and the past glory seemed like a dream.

This made her feel a little sad. There was no cure for the Cold Abyss Poison!

Old Han had traveled to various ancient kingdoms in the Abyss Realm for ten years, mainly for the future achievements of Han Yu Rou.

But that person had been hiding for ten years. Was he really still alive? It was said that the poison he suffered was at ten-tenths, making it impossible for him to last until now.

"Junior Xu Changfeng, along with a group from the Star Palace, have come to pay respects to Old Han."

A loud voice suddenly came, its sound rumbling and its momentum overwhelming.

The scene within the Star Palace changed drastically. A middle-aged man with disheveled black robes, leading hundreds of Star Officials, stood in the distance, paying their respects.

Xu Changfeng's black hair cascaded down his back, his physique imposing. As the Master of the Star Gazing Manor, he was a Star Master of the Four Realms.

The other Star Officials, regardless of their rank, all bowed and scraped, following Xu Changfeng's steady pace as if on a pilgrimage, forming a grand procession.

At the rear of the group were some talented youths, including the one-armed Ling Yao. Their eyes were filled with excitement, eager to gain Old Han's appreciation.

They didn't know who Old Han was, only that he had a significant connection with the Heavenly Star Manor, holding a position equivalent to a Star Lord, his divine might astonishing the world!

Such a terrifying figure had come in a low-key manner, and everyone was speculating about his purpose. They secretly hoped that the Heavenly Star Manor was about to recruit disciples.

In fact, the status of a Star Lord was too transcendent, like the embodiment of the starry sky, with overwhelming power. Even the ruler of the Tian Yuan Kingdom had to greet him with the highest etiquette.

The reason was that the Heavenly Star Manor had absolute control over the starry sky.

"It's enough for Xu Changfeng to come. You may all withdraw."

The cold voice spread throughout the Star Palace, like an unparalleled sharp sword cutting through the aura gathered by the group of Star Officials, chilling to the bone.

"What?"

Ling Yao and the others were shocked to see a white-skirted woman as graceful as a startled swan, like a sword immortal stepping out of the moon, scattering their long-brewing momentum with her words.

Everyone felt a chill from head to toe. A Heavenly Star Master? Could she be a disciple of the Heavenly Star Manor!

"A Heavenly Star Master of the Four Realms is terrifying!"

Xu Changfeng was also extremely shocked. As a Sixth-Rank Four Realms Star Master, he felt the destructive sword edge from Han Yu Rou's vast sword aura.

But Han Yu Rou only flashed by and disappeared, and no cultivator saw her true face.

"Junior Xu Changfeng greets Old Han!"

Xu Changfeng walked towards the Star Observation Platform with absolute respect, bowing deeply to the old man sitting with his back to him.

"You recognize me?"

"Ten years ago, this junior, at the peak of the Third Realm, used Spirit Roaming as an external member to cooperate with the senior brothers of the Heavenly Star Manor to excavate the Ancient Zhou Dynasty secret realm in the Cold Abyss. I was fortunate enough to witness Old Han's demeanor and have never forgotten it!"

Xu Changfeng flattered wildly. He didn't know Old Han's true origin and name, only that he stood on the decision-making level of the Heavenly Star Manor!

This kind of position could make decisions on any major event in the Heavenly Star Manor, and the Tian Yuan Kingdom would tremble at his every move.

In the eyes of mortals, Star Masters were high above, but in the eyes of Star Masters, the Heavenly Star Manor was supreme!

The so-called countries were just about protecting their borders and people, and the primary task was to send talents to the Star Gazing Manor, which in turn served the Heavenly Star Manor.

As for the Tian Yuan Kingdom, as well as dozens or even hundreds of surrounding ancient kingdoms, they all had to obey the orders of the Heavenly Sun Star Observation Manor: abbreviated as the Heavenly Star Manor.

"The Ancient Zhou Dynasty ruins, you can be considered an old-timer of the Heavenly Sun Star Palace."

Old Han sighed slightly. The Ancient Zhou Dynasty, the master of the Abyss Realm, ruled the entire Abyss Realm land. Since its destruction, heroes had divided the land, and countless kingdoms had fought for supremacy. After more than 30,000 years of development, the current pattern had gradually formed.

Too bad, the former glory had disappeared with the Zhou Dynasty and the Saint Star, buried in the river of history.

Currently, the Abyss Realm was dominated by the Heavenly Star Manors.

"Changfeng should do his best for the Heavenly Sun Star Palace. If I can follow in your footsteps, sir, I will have no regrets even in death!"

Xu Changfeng quickly expressed his loyalty, the Heavenly Sun Star Palace was naturally their headquarters. Old Han had him come up to report, was this a hint of promotion?

"Bootlicker," Han Yu Rou muttered in her heart from afar.

"Changfeng, is it? I'm here on a private matter, don't mention me to others. Oh, right, the secret realm in the Abyss Realm is about to open, prepare early."

"Changfeng will keep it in mind!"

Xu Changfeng's face flushed red. Ten years ago, he obtained good fortune, returned for further study, gathered stars, and established his nascent soul, stepping into the Four Realms.

Over the years, he naturally never forgot about that secret realm. He didn't expect to hear such core secrets upon meeting Old Han!

Moreover, Xu Changfeng only wandered around the outer areas back then. The depths were a place for Four Realms cultivators to fight. If he were to go again, he might be able to advance further.

"I have nothing to do, the owner of the Heavenly Water Star yesterday, can come to my place." Old Han thought of something.

"Thank you, sir, for your favor, Changfeng thanks you on behalf of his disciple!"

Xu Changfeng was in tears. What luck did the Mu family have, that Mu Zhen stepped into the Other Shore at this juncture and awakened a sixth-grade star.

He also knew why Old Han was so concerned about Mu Zhen. Why was the word 'Heavenly' added to 'Heavenly Water Star'?

Because the 'Heavenly Water Star' is an affiliated star of a seventh-grade Heavenly Star!

Any seventh-grade Heavenly Star has affiliated stars, and these stars all revolve around the Heavenly Star, which can be understood as a cluster of stars!

In the future, if Mu Zhen demonstrates even more outstanding talent, she has a slim hope of gaining the Heavenly Star's recognition, thereby becoming a Heavenly Star Master.

"Alright, you don't need to be so formal." Old Han smiled.

"Changfeng takes his leave, oh right, these Black River treasures, please accept them, Old Han."

Xu Changfeng quickly took out a dozen jade boxes from his arms, all of which were treasures he had collected in recent years. He knew that Old Han looked down on these things, but whether he wanted them or not was one thing, and whether he offered them was his etiquette.

"If Old Mu doesn't give me a spirit fruit tree, I won't bring her here!"

Xu Changfeng rushed to the Mu family. If Mu Zhen was appreciated by Old Han and became a disciple of the Heavenly Star Manor, he, as the controller of the Star Gazing Manor, would have a merit recorded in his book.

This was of great significance for his future promotion path.

The same goes for Star Officials from the first to the third rank, and Star Lords. The difficulty of each step of promotion is no less than breaking through a cultivation realm.

"Grandpa, are you planning to stay here for a while?" Han Yu Rou came over and asked, why did he suddenly become interested in guiding the younger generation?

"Yu Rou, do you know about the battle in the Abyss Realm?"

"Isn't that a war that broke out a long time ago? It is said that the Abyss Sea shook, and the seawater flooded the spiritual mountains and lakes, and over time formed more than a dozen rivers, the Black River being one of them."

"What you read is only one-sided. The Abyss Sea War not only involved ancient grudges and disputes over the Great Dao, but also the battle for the treasure, the Five Elements Soil."

"The Five Elements Soil, the Five Elements Soil that is said to be able to cultivate all kinds of spiritual seeds? Who got it back then?" Han Yu Rou exclaimed.

"I'll ask Heaven later."

Old Han shook his head, always asking questions he couldn't answer?

He once learned that after that battle, the Five Elements Soil sank into the Abyss Sea and disappeared without a trace, and there were no results after a long time.

And closely related to the Five Elements Soil is the Five Elements Series Star Master. The Heavenly Water Star happens to belong to water and has a probability of being close to the Five Elements Soil.

Just now, he also recalled this past event, which is why he became interested in giving Mu Zhen some pointers, never expecting to find Five Elements Soil.

"The place where an Ancient Prodigy inquired about the Dao, how could it not be worth a visit?"

Old Han sat quietly, gazing at the Black River, his eyes seeming to look out towards the Abyss Realm, lost in thought for a long time.
