Eternal Deception!

Moonset and stars fade, outside the Tian Yuan Star Observation Manor Outer Sect East Courtyard, a thin mist drifts in the air, with glimpses of colorful birds chirping crisply and pleasantly.

Disciples rising one after another turned a deaf ear, as if the place where the birds lingered was isolated from the world.

In a dilapidated courtyard, a fairy played the zither, her slender fingers stroking the strings, radiating thousands of streams of light, one wave after another rippling into the clouds.

Countless birds circled around the flowing light, and as Han Yu Rou played to the end, the sound of the zither was like the sea, and the flowing light roared across the sky, weaving into a huge musical note, bursting out with terrifying Five-Colored Immortal Radiance!

Even within the magnificent and vast musical note, a Five-Colored Phoenix suddenly rushed out, bringing with it the Five-Colored Immortal Radiance.

"Chirp, chirp!"

The Phoenix spread its wings and soared into the sky, its cries forming the sound of celestial music, causing the courtyard scene to change drastically, presenting various rare spirit bird phenomena.

This was a picture of a Phoenix and a hundred birds, setting off Han Yu Rou as if she were a hundred-spirited celestial maiden, her snow-white gauze skirt fluttering in the wind, her whole body filled with Saint Light.

Especially her snow-white and delicate spine, engraved with complex patterns, splashed out dazzling halos.

In a trance, her spine looked like a sleeping Heavenly Phoenix, steaming, chirping, wanting to spread its wings and fly out, piercing the Azure Sky!

Behind Han Yu Rou, an even larger Phoenix picture slowly appeared, as if reborn in Nirvana, resting in the void, setting her off as even more stunningly talented.

"Lao Zheng, what do you think of my Granddaughter's 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'?"

In the inner room, Old Han sat in front of a simple table and chairs, praising triumphantly, and from time to time taking out various genuine materials from his space treasures.

There were Golden Mushrooms, Golden Branch Jade Leaf, Volcanic Wonder Lotus, Supreme Jade Marrow, Purple Spirit Bamboo Shoots, Abyssal Sea Spirit Fish, and so on.

Hundreds of ingredients inside and out, which ordinary people had never even heard of, and no one knew how long Old Han had collected them, as well as more precious Four-Colored Multi-Treasure Turtles, Phoenix Blood Chickens, Golden Crow Ducks, and so on.

Old Han, like a farmer, cleaned up these rare ingredients, "I say, Lao Zheng, my Granddaughter is not even twenty years old, and she is already a proud daughter of heaven famous in the Abyss Realm, she will surely become a great talent in the future."

"Hey, and that Dao Yang Furnace is close to her, tell me, isn't she strong?"

Old Huang was too lazy to pay attention to Old Han's boasting and was busy in the inner room. The hundreds of kitchen utensils hanging on the wall flashed with the light of the bright moon as he wielded them.

Old Huang's cooking skills had returned to simplicity, and with the Supreme Spirit Cauldron provided by Old Han, it autonomously received the fire of the earth's veins, moonlight, and Star Radiance to cook these precious ingredients.

"By the way, Lao Zheng, how have you been lately? I've been very busy, taking my Granddaughter to travel the world all day long. Along the way, I don't know how many strong people want to take her as a disciple."

"Guess what, none of those people are good enough, they are not qualified to cultivate the True Phoenix Body!"

Han Yu Rou was still playing, and had changed dozens of tunes. She was now a little flustered. The more Old Han praised her, the more frightened she became.

She had never heard Old Han praise her like this in her life. Was the old man crazy? And she heard Old Han rambling on and on for the first time.

"I am Lao Zheng..."

"Bang!"

Old Huang slammed the kitchen knife on the cutting board, and said impatiently, "Lei San, where have you gone? Come and lend a hand."

Old Huang's voice was transmitted to outside the courtyard. At this moment, Lei San, squatting on the ground, was doubting his life. Where had the courtyard gone? Why was it gone?

Fortunately, Old Huang's voice came, and Lei San saw the courtyard gate in the mist. He hurried in, stunned when he saw the woman playing the zither.

Mainly because he couldn't see Han Yu Rou, he was in the clouds and mist. Waiting for him to run into the inner room in confusion, "Grandpa Huang, why did you get up to cook? This is terrible, if Fusheng finds out, he will have to scold me."

"Who are you, old fellow? Didn't you see that my Grandpa Huang is sick and still has to cook for you?" Lei San glared at Old Han with his bull-like eyes.

Han Yu Rou's face turned slightly cold, and she was just about to step forward to suppress Lei San when Old Han suddenly stood up, his pupils filled with lightning, staring at Lei San who was turning to walk into the kitchen.

"Who told you to get up? Keep playing!"

Old Han's face was extremely solemn as he stared at the dark-faced simpleton who was helping Huang Tiancheng. He couldn't help but walk in, surveying the area, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became.

"I've searched high and low with worn-out shoes, only to find it without effort."

Old Han's body trembled slightly. Was this an Innate Thunder Body? And even a handyman for Huang Tiancheng?

Old Han instantly became honest. Although the True Phoenix Body was unparalleled, it wasn't suitable for inheriting his mantle. The Innate Thunder Body was different because he also possessed such a physique!

From Lei San, Old Han vaguely saw his former self, which made his gaze extremely fervent. He chatted with Lei San, but Lei San held some prejudice against him, keeping a straight face and ignoring him.

Instead, he was surprised that Huang Tiancheng's movements were so swift, as if he had become decades younger, which made Lei San couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Huang, is your illness cured?"

"Cough, it was the Fire Dragon Pill I gave him that suppressed the Cold Poison!" Old Han proudly interjected. This was a supreme Star Pill refined by the Dao Yang Furnace, exclusively for his use!

"Fire Dragon Pill, what kind of pill is that?" Lei San hadn't heard of it either, but he still lowered his head and said thank you.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I still have five Fire Dragon Pills here, enough to support him for two or three years."

Lei San glanced sideways at Old Han. Did this old thing know how to talk?

"I say, Lao Zheng, I haven't seen you in so many years, you've become less talkative." Old Han asked enthusiastically.

"Can't you shut your mouth while waiting for food? I say, Xiao San, please show him out." Huang Tiancheng frowned.

Han Yu Rou's eyes were bright as she looked at Huang Tiancheng's hunched back. It was hard to associate him with the Big Dipper of Mount Tai in the Spirit Chef World.

Han Yu Rou knew a little about Huang Tiancheng and also knew that he was an extremely terrifying rogue cultivator, with a solitary temperament, rarely seen.

She had also heard that because Old Han had come to him by name to ask him to cook, Huang Tiancheng had bluntly said that he would not cook for Star Officials, which had angered Old Han.

As a result, they fought for three days and three nights, and thus became close friends. It was truly magical.

"Two pedantic old men, half their bodies are in the ground, what are they showing off to each other?"

Han Yu Rou muttered in her heart. She had seen the old man fight before. It looked ordinary, but in fact, the Stars in the Azure Sky were trembling.

At this moment, Old Han sighed and walked out of the kitchen. A full ten years, he had finally found his hiding place, but his heart felt even more guilty towards his old friend.

The cause was that if he hadn't invited Huang Tiancheng to open the Zhou Dynasty Remains back then, and encountered the Cold Abyss Poison in the process, how could Huang Tiancheng have fallen into his current situation?

"Oh, right, Lao Zheng, you should have heard of the Forbidden Path, right?" Old Han stood outside the kitchen, drooping his head, like a subordinate reporting his work.

Han Yu Rou wanted to laugh when she saw it. Old Han was eager to open the topic. He was just trying to talk to Huang Tiancheng face to face.

Old Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm not a high and mighty Star Official, why are you asking me this?"

"Did you see the Starry Sky Phenomenon a few days ago? It should be the leader of the Forbidden Path lineage, breaking through to the Other Shore Realm, causing the phenomenon."

Old Han said, "I say, you've been here for so long, have you noticed anyone in the Star Gazing Manor secretly practicing it?"

Old Huang's body stiffened, and the kitchen knife he was holding trembled slightly. The Starry Sky Phenomenon was caused by the Forbidden Path? And it was detected by the Star Palace? Even mobilizing troops to the Black River to encircle and suppress it.

"How could this be? I've harmed Fusheng, I've actually harmed Fusheng!"

Huang Tiancheng's face was extremely pale, but in an instant, he thought that the soul imprint he had left on Devouring Moon was still there, which meant that Fusheng was not in trouble yet!

Old Huang suppressed his monstrous rage and said coldly, "You Heavenly Star Manor people have strictly blocked all information about the Forbidden Path, and even burned all the cultivation scriptures. How dare I come into contact with and study the Contemplation Method?"

"It's not deliberately blocking relevant news, mainly because breaking through to the Other Shore Realm and triggering the Starry Sky Phenomenon is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. It's no wonder you don't know!" Old Han replied.

Huang Tiancheng's emotions were extremely bad, which meant that Fusheng had reached a relatively terrifying height!

This made him blame himself, annoyed, and he didn't even know what the so-called Starry Sky Phenomenon was!

He gritted his teeth fiercely and chopped the kitchen knife heavily on the cutting board, and said in a cold voice: "You people, you don't allow ordinary people to cultivate, but you, your descendants who have no talent, practice harder than dogs, it's outrageous!"

"Lao Zheng, you!"

Old Han's face changed drastically, these words were too harsh.

"What about me? Am I wrong? What Forbidden Demon? Ordinary people cultivating are demons, and ordinary people cultivating in your clan are legal, what kind of bullshit world is this!"

Huang Tiancheng was extremely angry, he wished he could take out the kitchen knife, destroy the Star Palace, and kill all the enforcers of the Black River!

"Lao Zheng, you've gone too far!"

Han Yi was furious, and was about to step into the kitchen, but sighed and retracted his foot, "What are you saying these things for? Can we not talk about these things."

"Qiren is such a great man, you are not qualified to define his disciples as demons." Huang Tiancheng replied coldly.

Han Yu Rou's face turned pale, if these words were spread out? It's not just treasonous, it's simply punishable by the Nine Clans!

But she was a little confused, because Han Yu Rou didn't know that there were also members of the Contemplation Method system in their clan...

Old Han was exasperated, what crazy things was Huang Tiancheng saying?

And tens of thousands of years have passed, cultivating the Contemplation Method is a demon? This is already the supreme truth!

Even this kind of thinking is deeply rooted, who dares to question the truth?

But now Huang Tiancheng refuted it like this, and even called Qiren a great man?

This made Old Han's face uncertain. What had Huang Tiancheng experienced these years that even his cognition had been rewritten?

"You old geezer, can you stop saying these things!" Old Han was extremely annoyed.

"Yes, some truths are harsh to the ears, the children don't know the inside story, don't you know!" Huang Tiancheng satirized, he witnessed Chen Fusheng's rise, he was extremely sure that this was a great cultivation system!

Han Yu Rou was shocked, listening intently.

What's the situation? What eternal secrets are involved here?

"Enough, what can I know? Don't say any more!" Old Han became more and more annoyed, the water involved here was too deep, he didn't want to discuss it.

Huang Tiancheng still wanted to continue, Han Yi had been looking for him for ten years, what he wanted was his treasure!

Huang Tiancheng decided to take out the treasure and let Han Yi rescue Chen Fusheng.

Of course, doing so was extremely risky, because he didn't dare to gamble whether Han Yi would sell Chen Fusheng!

What is friendship?

Because in various Heavenly Star Manors, destroying the Contemplation Method and all related people is the supreme task, an inviolable iron law!

Who dares to disobey and harbor?

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, a raggedly dressed youth barged in, wielding a Great Sword that surged with Star power, tearing through layers of illusion.
