Recalling some of the ingenious details of this True Qi Circulation Route Map, Yun Youyou secretly compared it with her actual cultivation process and found herself to have a sudden enlightenment.

She was delighted and paced back and forth in the room, holding the parchment in her hand.

Yun Youyou spent a long time looking through the library, while Qin Zhenkui had already left.

At this moment, Qin Zhenkui entered the library again.

"Sister Yun, have you finished looking at these True Qi Circulation Route Map?"

Upon seeing Qin Zhenkui, Yun Youyou immediately stepped forward. "Zhenkui, I was just looking for you!"

"What is it?"

"I just saw an amazing True Qi Circulation Route Map, and the annotations and insights in it are simply exquisite!"

It overturned my preconceived notions and was like a complete complement to my cultivation method!

"Oh, is it really that amazing?"

Qin Zhenkui glanced at it sideways, but since she had never practiced this technique, she naturally couldn't see its mysteries.

"It's truly amazing, but it's only half complete, probably because there wasn't enough time."

"Zhenkui, please help me find this person. I want to consult him personally!" Yun Youyou said.

Qin Zhenkui smiled and said, "I didn't expect that our Beimang Star could have someone that Sister Yun praised so highly. Okay, let me ask Niu Niu!"

Qin Zhenkui summoned the girl in the black dress named Wuxin.

"Sister Wuxin, come and take a look at this parchment diagram of the flow of True Qi. Whose is it?"

The girl in the black dress glanced down and replied, "I remember this True Qi Circulation Route Map. According to the records on the Star Olive Leaf, it was drawn by a man named Chen Lie. He claims to be the top freshman at Starry Sky University. He wasn't invited; he came on his own."

"Chen Lie?"

Qin Zhenkui narrowed her eyes. It was actually that bastard?

Yun Youyou was also taken aback. Was it that person?

No wonder he was so confident when he asked Qin Zhenkui for help; it turns out he really is quite capable.

However, Yun Youyou also knew that Qin Zhenkui and Chen Lie had a grudge against each other. Geniuses are all arrogant. If Qin Zhenkui made things difficult for him, it would be hard to ask him for a favor again.

As expected, the top freshman at Starry Sky University was no ordinary student.

Qin Zhenkui changed the subject, saying, "Sister Yun, you haven't finished looking at these parchments yet, have you? Why don't you take another look? What if there are better ones?"

"Oh well!"

Yun Youyou nodded. Seeing this astonishing True Qi Circulation Route Map, she suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the remaining parchment.

Yun Youyou sat down beside the desk and began to look at the remaining parchment.

After seeing Chen Lie's True Qi Circulation Route Map, Yun Youyou immediately felt bored with these mediocre ones.

After barely managing to look through all the parchments, Yun Youyou's eyes lit up again when she saw the last one.

This True Qi Circulation Route Map is almost identical to the one from before, except that the annotations and insights seem somewhat crude, probably because of time constraints and the lack of time to draw it.

"The Canglan Star Domain is indeed teeming with talent!"

Yun Youyou sighed. For the cultivation method of this Heavenly Demon Divine Embryo, she had searched for geniuses from almost all the four major sects of Chong Star, including Wildland Planet and Heavenly Intent Planet in the Black Cloud Star Domain, but no one had deduced such an amazing route for the circulation of True Qi for her.

"Zhenkui, take a look at this parchment. Who drew this?"

Qin Zhenkui looked at the girl in the black dress beside her again. The girl in the black dress said calmly, "It was done by a martial arts student named Dong Changnan from the Sacred Martial Academy."

"That's easy. I'll have someone bring this person over right away. Sister Yun, please wait a moment," Qin Zhenkui said.

Yun Youyou couldn't help but say, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Shouldn't we pay them a visit?"

"Don't worry, it's okay, we'll just wait here!"

Qin Zhenkui smiled and then ordered someone to summon the martial arts actor named Dong Changnan.

Not long after, Dong Changnan arrived at the Crown Prince's Residence.

Upon seeing Qin Zhenkui, he immediately bowed deeply. "My name is Dong Changnan, greetings to Your Highness!"

"Dong Changnan?"

Qin Zhenkui picked up the True Qi Circulation Route Map and said calmly, "This True Qi circulation route deduced on this parchment, was it drawn by you?"

"No, Your Highness!"

"Uh-huh?"

Qin Zhenkui's expression changed, and she said, "What did you say? This wasn't drawn by you?"

"Yes!" Dong Changnan replied, "At the time, I wanted to observe Her Highness's banquet ceremony, but time was tight, so a friend drew the illustrations for me!"

Who is it?

"He's from Blue Star, named Chen Lie, and he's the first freshman at Starry Sky University this year," Dong Changnan replied.

"What? It's him again?"

Qin Zhenkui immediately gritted her teeth.

Yun Youyou was also incredulous. How could one person deduce and draw two such exquisite paths for the circulation of True Qi? Chen Lie's talent was simply astonishing!

"Alright, you can go now!"

Qin Zhenkui impatiently shook her hand.

Dong Changnan found it strange. Why was he summoned so urgently, only to be dismissed immediately after a few questions? What was going on?

However, since the princess had spoken, he had no choice but to obediently take his leave.

"Sister Yun, don't worry, the seal of the Saint Envoy Hall is still in my hands. This boy named Chen Lie will definitely come to retrieve the seal, and I will have a way to make him fill in the True Qi Circulation Route Map then," Qin Zhenkui said.

Yun Youyou simply shook her head. How could you force someone to do something like this?

What if they don't put in the effort, or even plant a trap in the simulation?

"Never mind, Zhenkui, I'll talk to him then."

"Don't worry, Sister Yun, I will definitely take care of this matter for you, so please don't worry about it," Qin Zhenkui said.

Yun Youyou. Of course, she couldn't let Qin Zhenkui act recklessly, but she still needed to see Chen Lie first.

"By now, Chen Lie should have been waiting at the Chamberlain's Office for quite some time, right?"

We're going there now!

Upon hearing this, Yun Youyou thought, "This won't do. We already need their help, and making them wait so long will only exacerbate the conflict."

Urged on by Yun Youyou, Qin Zhenkui quickly led Yun Youyou out of the library.

Upon arriving at the Crown Prince's Household Steward Chamberlain's Office, Qin Zhenkui asked the officials there, "Has anyone from the Eastern Star Region come to collect their official seal today?"

"No, Your Highness!" replied the official from the Crown Prince's Household Steward's Palace.

"What? No?"

Qin Zhenkui was taken aback. "Does the Eastern Star Region no longer need official seals?"

Without the seal of the Saint Envoy Hall, how could the Interstellar Allied Forces be formed? Logically speaking, that kid Chen Lie should have been waiting here this morning.

Qin Zhenkui had planned to leave him hanging for a few days to punish his arrogance and rudeness, but she didn't expect him to not come.

"Your Highness, the seal of the Eastern Star Region is no longer here!"

I just got it back from the Four-Star Inn yesterday, and Shaokang Commandery Princess took it away.

"Bai Ling? Why is she carrying the seal?" Qin Zhenkui asked.

"We don't know either. Shaokang Commandery Princess said that you asked her to send the seal to the Eastern Star Region."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenkui couldn't help but say, "What is Qin Bailing up to? When did I ask her to retrieve the seal and deliver it to the Eastern Star Region?"

She immediately ordered her maidservant to send a spirit pigeon to inquire.

A reply arrived shortly afterward.

"Your Highness, Shaokang Commandery Princess said that she owed a favor to a friend in the Eastern Star Region, so she took it upon herself to return the seal to the Eastern Star Region."

I also apologize to you and hope you can forgive me.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenkui was immediately enraged. "How dare she act on her own without my permission?"

Qin Zhenkui was annoyed, but then she thought that Qin Zhenling was no longer the same as before. She was no longer a marginal figure in the royal family, but a powerful princess who commanded a 2,000- Imperial Guard guard. Compared to her, she was only lacking a fiefdom, and she did have the right to challenge her.

"What about the people from the Eastern Star Region? Has the seal been handed over to them?" After calming down, Qin Zhenkui asked again.

"Your Highness, the seal has indeed been handed over to the Eastern Star Region, but the people from the Eastern Star Region have already left Beimang Star."

"What?"

Qin Zhenkui looked at Yun Youyou somewhat awkwardly. "Sister Yun, this—"

Yun Youyou was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Then I'll go to Canglong Starry Sky University."

It's better not to let Qin Zhenkui get involved in this kind of thing. Geniuses are all arrogant, and with such a sharp conflict between Qin Zhenkui and Chen Lie, letting her handle this kind of matter might just backfire.

"I've made many friends on Canglong Star, Sister Yun, let me introduce them to you," Qin Zhenkui said.

"Need not!"

Yun Youyou shook her head, then said, "If you sincerely want to help me, immediately write a letter of apology in your name, Princess Chengning, and have the Ministry of Rites of the Holy Martial Dynasty send an envoy to Blue Star to express your apology."

"Okay then!"

Qin Zhenkui knew what Yun Youyou was thinking.

This Chen Lie was so arrogant in Beimang Star, offending me again and again; he must be an extremely proud person.

While Qin Zhenkui could still control him within the territory of Beimang Star, now that he had left Beimang Star, she was even less able to do anything to him.

He must have a very bad impression of him, and even Yun Youyou, who was with him, probably left a bad impression on him as well.

In this situation, it would be extremely difficult to ask Chen Lie for a favor.

Yun Youyou probably asked her to write an apology letter because of this.

Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned to Blue Star aboard Star Boat.

After a three-day journey on the Star Boat, the group finally returned to Blue Star.

It was midnight when we arrived on Blue Star.

After the Star Boat landed in the plaza of the Blue Star Martial Artist Association, Chen Lie and the others Star Boat one by one.

"Dear students, you've all worked hard this time. Since returning from Starry Sky University, you've been practicing Combined Strike Technique, which has taken up more than half a month of your time."

The staff has arranged rooms for you. Please rest well today. After you've rested, we will hold a celebration banquet for you!

After disembarking from the Star Boat, Wang Shou addressed the group.

After speaking, Wang Shou arranged for staff to lead the ten participants to a special room to rest.

The Four-Sided Star Domain Contest secured Blue Star's control over an Interstellar Allied Forces, a feat comparable to winning Permanent Councilor Star of Blue Star —a historical achievement.

As a major contributor to this competition, Chen Lie deserves the greatest honor.

But Chen Lie already has no shortage of these honors. His previous position Permanent Councilor Star, his recent first place among freshmen at Starry Sky University, and now the Four-Sided Star Domain Contest —he has been showered with honors so many times that he has become numb to them.

Moreover, Chen Lie didn't seem to like being interviewed by reporters, which is why he didn't arrange for anyone to greet him, but a victory celebration banquet was absolutely essential.

On the other side, Chen Lie followed the staff back to their rest room, but instead of resting there, he found a Cultivation Room nearby.

After entering the Cultivation Room, Chen Lie closed the door and went to the Cultivation Room platform in the middle.

He has just broken through to the "Five Qi Converging at the Origin at the Five Qi Converging to Origin Realm" realm, but the breakthrough is not yet complete.

The so-called Five Qi Converging at the Origin Gathering at the Origin is the gathering of the Five Elements True Qi) in the mind to form a subtle cycle. Only in this way can one truly enter the Five Qi Converging at the Origin. However, Chen Lie merely gathered the Five Elements True Qi in his mind.

He calmed his mind, used his divine sense to introspect, and began to circulate the Primordial Limitless Qi Gong, fusing the Five Gods True Qi one by one.

"Fortunately, the ' Primordial Limitless Qi Gong ' is profound, allowing me to break through to the Ultimate Realm without first comprehending the Five Elements Martial Dao True Intent like ordinary people. Otherwise, I wouldn't have won this battle."

Chen Lie skipped the stage of comprehending the Martial Dao True Intent, because due to his limited aptitude, comprehending the Martial Dao True Intent would have required a tremendous amount of effort from Chen Lie.

"However, although I do not need to comprehend the Five Elements Martial Dao True Intent to break through to the Five Qi Converging to Origin Realm, the Ultimate Realm requires cultivating the Five Divine Treasuries. To unlock the Five Divine Treasuries, I must use the Martial Dao True Intent as a key."

Ultimately, one must comprehend the Martial Dao True Intent.

Relying on the profound mysteries of the "Primordial Limitless Qi Gong," Chen Lie fused the Five Gods True Qi one by one, achieving a subtle cycle of mutual generation among the five elements.

Under the introspection of his divine sense, Chen Lie discovered that the Five Element Gods located in his Five Viscera had solidified by three-tenths, which indicated that Chen Lie had completely stabilized in the Five Qi Converging to Origin Realm.

After finishing his cultivation, Chen Lie walked out of the Cultivation Room and saw that the sky was already slightly bright. He had arrived on Blue Star at midnight the night before, but he hadn't expected to have been cultivating for half the night.

"Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to be so diligent. You just returned from Beimang Star and came here to practice your skills."

Just then, a clear and melodious sound rang out.

Chen Lie turned his head and saw that it was Princess Lingyan Zhu Jingxi of the Red Flame Planet walking over.

"Greetings, Your Excellency, Candidate for Administrator of Blue Star!"

Approaching Chen Lie, Zhu Jingxi clasped her hands at her sides, slightly bent her slender waist, and performed a dignified curtsy.

"Princess Lingyan, there's no need for such formalities."

Zhu Jingxi simply said, "Propriety must not be disregarded!"

Seeing this, Chen Lie stopped trying to persuade him.

"Brother Chen, have you eaten yet?"

Chen Lie shook his head. "No!"

"Shall we go together? The food there has been terrible these past few days in Beimang Star, and Brother Chen hasn't had a proper meal in quite some time."

"Shall we?" Zhu Jingxi invited.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Chen Lie agreed and went to the Martial Artist Association's restaurant with Zhu Jingxi.

"By the way, I have something I'd like to ask Brother Chen. I apologize for any intrusion, but I hope you won't take offense."

Ask away!

Zhu Jingxi suddenly stopped. "I heard that Brother Chen already has a lover?"

Chen Lie nodded. "Yes!"

Zhu Jingxi said "Oh" and continued walking forward. After a while, she said, "Some of the laws of Blue Star are actually quite unreasonable."

On our Red Flame Planet, a hero like Brother Chen, or even a man with only a fraction of his brilliance, could marry multiple women.
