"I don't know if they're crazy, but I'm a little dizzy."

Xu Guifen felt it was unbelievable. Which nerve of whom did the Forbidden Path touch?

If her guess was correct, a large number of experts from the Heavenly Star Manor would definitely come to fight for this opportunity, and the Black River would soon be extremely lively.

After all, how difficult is it to be promoted to Star Lord? Even if Xu Changfeng continued to work hard for hundreds of years, it would be useless without someone above him.

In fact, a Star Lord can order any Star Palace to act for him. Who can resist this privilege alone? Once the position is secured, the descendants will all be super second generations.

But in Xu Guifen's understanding, if Xu Changfeng had a choice, he would not choose the Star Lord reward, but the Dao Yang Furnace.

The Dao Yang Furnace is the treasure of the Heavenly Star Manor, and its value is by no means comparable to the Flood Dragon Ship.

It is rumored that the Dao Yang Furnace takes the essence of Dao Star as its root, and it took an extremely long time to refine it into a treasure, engraving the supreme mysteries of infinite Stars. It is also a treasure handed down from the Ancient Zhou Dynasty!

It is even said that the Dao Yang Furnace is related to the destroyed Ninth-Rank Star!

Three years of secluded cultivation in the Dao Yang Furnace? It can cultivate a physique no less than a top-grade treasure body. Within the Star Gazing Manor? This spot is more than just sky-high, it is basically sought after.

After all, the Dao Yang Furnace cannot be used easily, only the Successor Disciple of the Star Gazing Manor is qualified to use it.

"Is the Forbidden Path really so cruel? Could it be a cultivation method of devouring living people?" A beautiful female disciple asked in confusion.

"I just heard that it can help mortals rise."

"What? Hahahaha!"

These disciples shook their heads and laughed. Mortals? Without cultivation talent, they are like weeds. Wanting to defy fate, what a load of nonsense!

The world's style respects Star Masters. Xu Guifen also thinks this statement is a fantasy. She estimates that there are more bloody cases, but they have not been announced.

"If these legends are not true, why search like this?"

Chen Fusheng raised a question: "Could it be that the Star Palace needs the cultivation chapters of the Forbidden Path?"

"Chen Fusheng, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

Xu Guifen warned: "No matter what the higher-ups want to do, we just need to follow the instructions. Don't pay attention to other things."

The surrounding disciples were all silent. Who would dare to talk nonsense when it comes to the Star Lord's nerves?

"Senior Sister is right, I was talking nonsense."

Chen Fusheng's mood was a little low. He had come all the way to the Other Shore Realm, and this path was also a righteous path!

Are Meditation Method and Contemplation Method destined to be opposed?

He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand it. He could only remain silent, and his desire to become stronger surged like crazy.

Otherwise, he would die!

Soon, the treasure ship docked.

A large number of Imperial Guards surrounded them. Chen Fusheng felt the horror of this team. Once the order was issued, the five hundred Imperial Guards combined team was destined to be earth-shattering.

What made him even more frightened was that there was a faint, terrifying divine sense scanning over.

A strong person, definitely an extremely terrifying strong person!

He was scanned, thoroughly understood, his entire body's secrets about to be exposed, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Chen Fusheng knew that running was pointless. The powerhouse sitting in the Starry Sky was truly terrifying, able to traverse across in an instant.

Chen Fusheng had already anticipated the storm after his death, but this immense sense of impending doom dissipated like the tide.

His face pale, he looked around and found that the situation of the surrounding disciples was the same as his.

Chen Fusheng's violently trembling heart stabilized. Was he really going to get away with this?

"That gaze just now saw my Qi Sea, and should have seen the Star Chart as well? Why didn't it attack? Could it be that it didn't see the Star Chart?"

Chen Fusheng felt a strong sense of joy in his heart. This thing could help him shield himself from the exploration of powerhouses!

Xu Guifen faced the inspecting Imperial Guards with a cold expression, throwing a token over.

After the leader of the Imperial Guards checked it, he respectfully returned it, "Madam, according to the highest order from the Star Palace, the entire Tian Yuan Kingdom is within the lockdown range. Please refrain from going out recently."

"I understand." Xu Guifen nodded.

Chen Fusheng looked at the sky. He thought he would be safe once he left the Black River, but it turned out he had only broken through one encirclement.

He now understood the power of the Heavenly Sun Star Palace. An ancient kingdom with hundreds of millions of people could be locked down just like that.

Waiting until he returned to the Star Gazing Manor, inside and out, it exuded a heavy atmosphere.

Chen Fusheng clenched his fists slightly, "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, I am still an Outer Sect Disciple. There are elderly people bedridden at my home, so I will go back first."

These disciples all nodded with serious faces. If Xu Changfeng fell, Chen Fusheng's life would be difficult, and they would also suffer.

Chen Fusheng hurriedly headed towards the Outer Sect, there were some things he needed to ask clearly.

Devouring Moon, it was definitely a top-grade Star Skill!

Then, was the Devouring Moon Blade also top-grade? If it really was, then Huang Tiancheng's former status and position were probably comparable to a Star Lord!

"Grandfather, I always feel that searching like this will be difficult to yield results."

Xuan Yuanchang, sitting in the central area of the Black River, walked into the camp tent of the ruler of the kingdom. Inside, a dignified old man sat quietly, exuding a very terrifying vitality.

"We must dig him out, this is a gift given to our Tian Yuan Kingdom by heaven!" The kingdom ruler's eyes were like lightning.

"How many years has it been since a Contemplation Method has appeared? The more those who slip through the net, the higher the value, and perhaps we can dig out a large group by following the vine!"

The kingdom ruler said, "Even the Star Lord from the Headquarters, I have some friendship with him, the credit can be recorded on my Xuan Yuan Family!"

"But, isn't the reaction of the Heavenly Sun Star Palace a bit too much?" Xuan Yuanchang was certainly surprised but also confused, could it really be that serious?

"You don't understand this."

The kingdom ruler replied indifferently, "Judging from the scale of the Starry Sky Phenomenon, the talent and comprehension of the Contemplation Method practitioner are probably top-notch, and the potential is difficult to estimate. At the very least, it can be compared to a Heavenly Star Master!"

"And in the past, almost no members of the Forbidden Path who were caught triggered a Starry Sky Phenomenon!"

Xuan Yuanchang suddenly understood, it turned out it was related to the Starry Sky Phenomenon, no wonder it touched the nerve of the Heavenly Sun Star Palace.

"Top-notch potential, the ability to seize the power of the stars, this guy, hehe, has mastered the orthodox Forbidden Path chapters, definitely not the forbidden books circulating among the people!"

The country lord said, "The Contemplation Method lineage was eradicated long ago, so such an orthodox chapter likely hides an unseen power. If we can unravel it, the rise of my Xuan Yuan Family will be in the spring of next year."

"Grandfather, I understand. Now that luck has come, how can it escape our grasp!"

After Xuan Yuanchang respectfully withdrew, the attendant following him approached, "Your Highness, a female disciple from the Star Gazing Manor has come to see you, inquiring about Ling Yao. She says Ling Yao has been missing for several days."

"Ling Yao, that good-for-nothing!"

Xuan Yuanchang's eyes turned cold, "If she wants to inquire, she must offer some price, so I can find someone."

He now wields great power, swift and decisive, and any Flood Dragon Ship mobilization requires his approval.

Currently, the Black River is in chaos, and fleeing demonic beasts have triggered large-scale battles, resulting in significant casualties for the Star Gazing Manor.

"Your Highness may not know, but this female disciple is quite beautiful and is currently in your camp tent."

"Hmm, that's more like it."

A wicked fire ignited in Xuan Yuanchang's heart. He had been unable to conquer Mu Zhen for a long time and had lost the Gathering Star Pearl, so he had long wanted to vent his frustration.

Waiting for him to return to the camp tent, he glanced at Huang Li, who was standing there properly, and coldly walked to the end of the jade table and sat down.

The guard tactfully withdrew, instructing the patrols on both sides to stay away.

Huang Li dressed meticulously, pleading bitterly with Xuan Yuanchang. She no longer cared whether Ling Yao lived or died.

Chen Fusheng was already dead, but he was still her nominal younger brother. Because of Ling Chen's accidental death and Ling Yao's disappearance, some members of the Ling Family pointed at her nose and said she was a jinx.

Huang Li felt extremely wronged. What did these things have to do with her? It was all because of Chen Fusheng, who left behind a mess even after his death.

But Xuan Yuanchang was different, a true noble who had inherited the position of Manor Lord. As long as he said a word, how dare the Ling Family make things difficult for her?

Seeing Xuan Yuanchang reading an ancient book and ignoring her, Huang Li cleverly came over to massage his shoulders, "Your Highness, I won't hide it from you. Actually, I am Chen Fusheng's older sister."

Xuan Yuanchang's body trembled slightly, and Huang Li explained in horror, "Your Highness, listen to me, I have no blood relationship with him, and we have long lost our sibling affection..."

Huang Li suddenly paused, because she saw the contents of the ancient book Xuan Yuanchang was holding, and suspiciously examined the patterns on it.

She frowned, these patterns looked very familiar.

"What are you looking at?"

Xuan Yuanchang didn't need to look to know her little actions. On the contrary, the Contemplation Method chapter in the ancient book was copied from the Heavenly Star Manor.

He had been studying it these days, wondering if this thing could really be cultivated?

"No, nothing, I just think the patterns on it look a little familiar," Huang Li said.

"Boom!"

Xuan Yuanchang's Qi Sea trembled violently. He suddenly turned his head, staring at Huang Li without blinking, his eyes bursting with an extremely bright light.

He stood up in shock. Forbidden books are absolutely not circulated outside!

He used to be curious, flipping through a few pages and copying them out casually, but she, Huang Li, a small Star Gazing Manor disciple, had actually seen it?

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Huang Li's breathing became rapid, and she retreated in horror.

"Where did you see it?" Xuan Yuanchang's brow shot out mental ripples, and his words resounded in Huang Li's ears like a great bell.

"I, I..."

Huang Li clutched her head, unable to resist Xuan Yuanchang's mental pressure.

She was terrified and couldn't help but describe the scene in her mind: Huang Tiancheng had just fallen ill, and his condition was not optimistic. She was rummaging through the house for valuables, preparing to take care of the old man's funeral, when she found a yellow scroll under Chen Fusheng's bed.

The human body patterns engraved on it were very similar to those in Xuan Yuanchang's ancient book, but they were definitely not as exquisite as those engraved on the scroll.

She had glanced at it before and didn't think it was any kind of cultivation scripture, so she didn't take it seriously.

"Chen Fusheng? Are you sure!"

Xuan Yuanchang was shocked, then overjoyed, "Successor of the Forbidden Path, it's him, it's actually him! Are you sure it's Chen Fusheng?"

"What?" Huang Li felt as if struck by lightning. People outside were looking for Chen Fusheng? What kind of jinx was this?

"It's his, but this matter has nothing to do with me. I just glanced at it and definitely didn't cultivate it."

Huang Li hurriedly explained, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can test me by any means."

"Ha, hahaha!"

Xuan Yuanchang couldn't help but laugh. From the Flood Dragon Ship incident to the Starry Sky Phenomenon? These could explain that Chen Fusheng was not dead at all!

He was still alive and had broken through to the Other Shore Realm. During his communication with the stars, he triggered the Starry Sky Phenomenon!

It all made sense now!

Xuan Yuanchang laughed wildly, "Chen Fusheng, hahaha, I'll see how he can revive!"

"Someone, come here quickly!"

Inside the camp tent, Huang Li's mind was somewhat blank. Chen Fusheng wasn't dead?

She was fearful, worried, and regretful, but the complex emotions in her eyes were ultimately devoured by greed. Capturing the Successor of the Forbidden Path would allow her to become a Star Lord. As the first to report, she should be given the position of a high-ranking female Star Official, right?
