Daughter of the Star Seeker, Sheng Yingluo
Chen Lie was unaware that he was mistaken for a martial arts genius from Ten Great Star Provinces of the Central Galactic Empire.
However, his Strength Value of 15.99 times is something that even many geniuses from the Ten Great Star Provinces cannot achieve. It is hard to say what the future holds, but at the Small Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi stage, he is not a martial arts genius of the Central Galactic Empire level, but he is better than a martial arts genius of the Central Galactic Empire level.
"I've actually been matched with an alien race from another star system. It seems that outside of the Ten Great Star Provinces, there are few humans in any of the star systems who can rival me."
The matchmaking rule in the Sumeru Illusion Realm is that humans will be matched with other humans. Only if humans have difficulty finding opponents will they be matched with other races.
If even the alien races from various star systems cannot find a match, then it will probably be necessary to match the scope of the Ten Great Star Provinces.
Just as Chen Lie was about to engage in another Virtual Duel Arena, his Personal AI received a message from Mu Yunyao.
Mu Yunyao: "Mr. Chen Lie, you came online at noon!"
Chen Lie: "What do you want from me?"
Mu Yunyao: "I would like to invite you to the Canglong Star Exchange Area in the Central Star Region first, so we can talk in person, shall we?"
Chen Lie: "Okay!"
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lie received a message.
' Mu Yunyao invites you to travel through space. Do you agree?'
Chen Lie immediately agreed.
In an instant, Chen Lie descended directly from the Eastern Region to the Central Star Region.
"Mr. Chen Lie, we've finally got in touch with you!"
Chen Lie only saw that he was in a pavilion, and before he could observe his surroundings, he heard Mu Yunyao's voice.
"Speak up, what do you need me for?"
Mu Yunyao quickly replied, "It's like this, the Saint Envoy Hall has already read the jade slip containing the incomplete cultivation method that you completed last time, and they praised it highly."
Apart from you, none of the incomplete cultivation manuals completed by anyone else have caught the eye of the Saint Envoy Hall.
The Saint Envoy Hall assumed that I had completed the cultivation method and invited me to the Saint Envoy Hall.
But with my Mental Power insight and attainments, how could I possibly compare to a top-tier Divine Sense Master in the star field? Naturally, I dare not take credit, so I mentioned you.
"What did you say?" Chen Lie asked.
"That is, to answer truthfully, I stated that the person who completed the incomplete cultivation method was a friend from another planet."
Sky Moon Princess of the Beimang Star Sacred Martial Dynasty specifically instructed me to contact you immediately.
"Why are you contacting me?" Chen Lie asked.
"It seems... the daughter of the Star Seeker has encountered some bottleneck in her Mental Power cultivation and urgently hopes to discuss it with a genius with high attainments in Mental Power."
"That's impossible. The daughter of the Star Seeker wouldn't lack guidance from powerful Divine Sense Master. Even if she has encountered some bottleneck, I'm powerless to help her."
Chen Lie knew very well that, generally speaking, the children of the Star Seeker from all over the Central Galactic Empire cultivated in the Ten Great Star Provinces. Such people would not lack powerful figures to guide them, and even if they really needed guidance, Chen Lie was indeed powerless to help them.
The children of the Star Seeker certainly don't lack cultivation resources. Even if they're around his age, they're most likely Grandmaster -level Martial Artist at the Eighth-Order Innate Embryonic Breath Realm. How could he possibly guide them?
"I'm not entirely sure either, but I have something to ask of you. Why don't you come and meet him?"
"If we can truly provide assistance, the Saint Envoy Hall will certainly reward us handsomely."
"Alright, let them come over!" Chen Lie nodded.
"That... Sky Moon Princess means that you need to go to the Saint Envoy Hall in the Canglan Star Domain."
She said that the outer star system is definitely extremely far from the Canglan Star Domain, possibly trillions of cosmic kilometers, but every star system has Space Jump Station. She suggested that you come to the Canglan Star Domain by space jump.
She promised to pay you a sum of Galactic Coin as a thank you, regardless of whether the deal goes through or not.
"Tell them I can't go there; whatever you have to say, let's talk it out in the Sumeru Illusion Realm."
Chen Lie's current level is far from reaching the Saint Envoy Hall.
The Saint Envoy Hall can be considered the highest authority and the most powerful force in the Canglan Star Domain.
Theoretically speaking, the Saint Envoy Hall can govern the entire Canglan Star Domain. Chen Lie is no fool; if a real person goes there, with his limited strength, he will be powerless to control anything.
If the Saint Envoy Hall harbors even the slightest ill intentions, he will never return.
"Alright, I'll inform Sky Moon Princess."
Mu Yunyao used the Personal AI of the Sumeru Illusion Realm to send a message to the Saint Envoy Hall.
Taking advantage of this time, Chen Lie once again concealed his information and appearance.
Mu Yunyao wasn't surprised to see Chen Lie's face become blurred again, veiled by a layer of mist.
She knew Chen Lie definitely wouldn't want to reveal his identity, otherwise he would have simply accepted the Saint Envoy Hall's invitation.
Before long, a woman in a green dress and a stunningly beautiful woman in white appeared outside the pavilion.
Upon seeing the two appear, Mu Yunyao quickly introduced them to the woman in the green dress, "Mr. Chen Lie, this is Sky Moon Princess of the Beimang Star Sacred Martial Dynasty in the Ten-Star Alliance the Canglan Star Domain, Qin Yingyue!"
Chen Lie hummed in agreement. He had seen Qin Yingyue Sumeru Illusion Realm.
"Sky Moon Princess, this is Mr. Chen Lie from the outer space."
Mu Yunyao then introduced Qin Yingyue.
Qin Yingyue gave a soft "hmm," then her phoenix eyes scrutinized Chen Lie before she asked, "You're from that outer star system, so which star system are you from?"
Chen Lie replied, "I'm sorry, but I cannot disclose that for certain reasons."
"You can't even reveal which star system it comes from?" Qin Yingyue frowned.
Chen Lie simply nodded.
"We heard you refused our invitation to the Canglan Star Domain. How can we trust you?"
"Speak freely about whatever you have to say. Even within this Sumeru Illusion Realm, there's always a way to resolve it."
Qin Yingyue snorted coldly, "I think you're just a Blood-Qi Stage cultivator, and a cowardly fellow who hides his true intentions. Don't try to play tricks on us!"
"It seems that you were the ones who contacted me first, so how did it become me making fun of you?"
"Our matter is top secret and of utmost importance. You refuse to reveal any information about yourself, and you're only at the Blood-Qi Stage. Put yourself in your shoes, how can I believe you have the ability to help us?"
"So they didn't believe in my abilities, which makes sense."
Chen Lie pondered for a moment, then said, "I am indeed only at the Blood-Qi Stage, but Blood-Qi Stage doesn't necessarily mean I can't prove my abilities. How about this..."
"As everyone knows, the Sumeru Illusion Realm cannot be faked. I allow you to view my information. If you still believe this after seeing it, then there's nothing I can do."
"Oh?"
Qin Yingyue looked at Chen Lie with some confusion.
Chen Lie secretly granted access to the Sumeru Illusion Realm.
Mu Yunyao knew that Chen Lie wanted Sky Moon Princess to see his Strength Value, which was thirteen times greater than normal.
The thirteen-fold Strength Value Blood-Qi Stage is indeed very convincing, because in the Canglan Star Domain, no one has ever been heard of whose Strength Value has exceeded twelve times.
"You can check my martial arts information recorded in the Sumeru Illusion Realm."
Although Qin Yingyue found it strange, she did as Chen Lie said.
Upon seeing Chen Lie's martial arts information, Qin Yingyue was immediately stunned.

Consciousness Spirit: Bi'an, Golden Ghost Sheep (???)]
Almost sixteen times the Strength Value? How did he do that?
Qin Yingyue found it unbelievable. She had already overcome countless difficulties to reach 12 times her Strength Value, so how could this 16 times Strength Value be possible?
If she hadn't known that the Sumeru Illusion Realm couldn't be faked, she would never have believed such an outrageous thing.
"Yingluo, come and take a look!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Yingyue spoke to the stunningly beautiful woman in white behind her, who had remained silent until now.
Chen Lie had realized early on that the woman in white was the real person. The reason she hadn't spoken was because she was observing, and she would make a decision once she had finished observing.
In fact, Chen Lie was happy to make this contact with the Saint Envoy Hall, as this would ensure that he had a place for his two Extraordinary-Grade Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid. Otherwise, he would have had a great headache over the matter of the Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid.
Extraordinary-Grade Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid is not easy to obtain.
The stunning woman in white hummed in acknowledgment as she examined Chen Lie's martial arts information.
When she saw that Chen Lie's Strength Value was 15.99 times, her perfectly sculpted face immediately showed surprise, losing its previous cool and elegant demeanor.
15.99 times the Strength Value?
She had heard of this in the Ten Great Star Provinces under the empire's jurisdiction; it was a level that only the top-tier martial arts geniuses could reach.
Once Strength Value reaches this level, their minimum future achievement will likely be that of Martial Artist at the True Essence Realm, Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood.
A 15.99x increase in Strength Value requires a massive amount of resources to build up, but it can't be achieved simply by accumulating a huge amount of resources; it also requires a certain amount of luck.
In an instant, the beautiful woman was certain that the man before her was from Ten Great Star Provinces of the Central Galactic Empire.
Because outside of the Ten Great Star Provinces, it is simply impossible to cultivate Strength Value to such a level.
But when she saw the Consciousness Sea World in Chen Lie's Mental Power section, she was shocked.
The Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky?
It's actually the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky?
If I am Eastern Heavenly Seven Mansions, cultivating the "Mengzhang Divine Refining Chapter," then wouldn't the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky be cultivating the "Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter"?
"Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter" is the supreme Mental Power cultivation method of the Taia Star Province Martial Arts Academy, and it is a closely guarded secret.
Among the national-level Mental Power cultivation methods of the Central Galactic Empire, the four methods—"Mengzhang Divine Refining Chapter," "Jianbing Divine Refining Chapter," "Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter," and "Zhiming Divine Refining Chapter"—share the same origin.
The four methods belong to four transcendent forces within the Central Galactic Empire. Among them, the "Mengzhang Divine Refining Chapter" belongs to the Central Galactic Empire's Order Army, while the "Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter" belongs to the martial arts of Taia Star Province.
The origin of this person in front of us is now quite obvious!
He is a successor of the Martial Arts Academy in Taia Star Province.
Seeing the beautiful woman's unusual expression, Chen Lie knew she had also finished reading, so he hid the information again.
"This is the only way I can prove myself. If you still have doubts, then there's no need to talk anymore."
What's your attitude?
Qin Yingyue felt indignant when she heard Chen Lie's arrogant tone.
In this Blood-Qi Stage realm of Sumeru, if this were the real world, who would dare treat her like this? She could crush them with a single finger.
"Yingyue, you mustn't act rashly!"
Having guessed Chen Lie's terrifying background, the stunning woman immediately reprimanded Qin Yingyue for her rudeness.
She stepped forward and greeted Chen Lie respectfully.
"My name is Sheng Yingluo. My cousin was very rude just now. Please forgive her, sir!"
"Sheng Yingluo?"
Chen Lie glanced at the stunningly beautiful woman and asked, "Do you think I have the ability to help you now?"
"Of course we do. We apologize for our ignorance."
Qin Yingyue was puzzled to see Sheng Yingluo adopting such a humble attitude. In the Canglan Star Domain, wouldn't it be unusual to treat someone at the mere Blood-Qi Stage with such deference?
"Yingluo, you..."
"Yingyue, this gentleman is no ordinary person. You must not be so presumptuous. Treat him with respect."
Sheng Yingluo said.
Seeing this, Qin Yingyue said no more.
"Tell me what you want to see me about!" Chen Liedao.
"The problem lies with me. I sought your help to resolve some difficulties in my Mental Power cultivation."
If you would be so kind as to offer your guidance, we will be eternally grateful!
Upon learning that Chen Lie was cultivating the "Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter," Sheng Yingluo's confidence in Chen Lie increased significantly.
The Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter and the Mengzhang Divine Refining Chapter share the same origin, meaning there's a high probability that Chen Lie can help him.
"Let's talk about this generous reward first. I'll make it clear beforehand: I can help you, but regardless of whether it works out or not, I want two portions of Extraordinary-Grade Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid from you."
Sheng Yingluo was slightly taken aback, and said, "That's only natural, and I certainly won't let you work for nothing."
Chen Lie nodded. He wasn't really sure if he could help Sheng Yingluo, so he made his request first.
Beside her, Qin Yingyue sneered, "You don't even know the specifics yet, and you're already making demands."
"If you can't help Yingluo, how dare you ask for benefits?"
"Shut up, Yingyue! Don't be rude!"
A frosty expression appeared on Sheng Yingluo's face as she sternly said, "It's already a great blessing that Mr. Chen was willing to help. A small reward is all we have; surely you can afford it?"
Chen Liedao, "Alright, tell me about your situation!"
"Plz follow me!"
With a flick of her sleeve, Sheng Yingluo caused the Sumeru Illusion Realm to change, bringing both Chen Lie and her into a closed space.
"Mr. Chen, let me first explain the situation I'm facing."
My name is Sheng Yingluo, and my father is the Star Seeker of the Canglan Star Domain.
But before serving as the Star Seeker of the Canglan Star Domain, my father was a general in the Order Army under the Central Galactic Empire. Please forgive me for not being able to elaborate on his specific position."
"When I was six years old, my father received a military order from his superiors to lead an Order Army to hunt down a Starry Sky Behemoth, the ' Starsea Longwhale.' The hunt failed, and the Starsea Longwhale escaped."
The Starsea Longwhale possesses an extremely strange ability: its cries can emit deep, melodious sonic attacks that can cover millions of miles of starry sky and destroy a person's Mental Power.
Although the sonic attack from the Starry Sky Behemoth wasn't specifically aimed at me, I was right in the center of it. The sonic wave struck, causing irreversible damage to my Mental Power. I slept for almost half a year before finally awakening with the help of an elder.
