Guests from the various stars

After the soldiers' commanders had arranged the defenses, they immediately ordered, "Open up the star coordinates and Star Boat approaching Blue Star, guiding it to East River Province."

"Yes!"

The soldiers received the order and immediately went to carry it out.

On the other side, on May 10th, before dawn, many guests arrived at Chen Lie's house.

Hearing the noise, Chen Lie, who was cultivating his Mental Power in his room, immediately left his room and went to the living room.

Upon entering the living room, Chen Lie saw many relatives.

There were the families of my eldest uncle Chen Chaoqun, my second Chen Guangqun, my aunt Chen Ruoqun, my two maternal uncles, and many other relatives and friends.

There are also many younger generation members, such as Chen Ying, Feng Shuangshuang, Feng Shanshan, and Jiang Qiongqiong.

And then there's Chen Ye, alone in a corner.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Feng Shuangshuang exclaimed first, "Cousin!"

The younger generation all looked at Chen Lie and greeted him in unison.

Chen Lie nodded and said, "Hello everyone!"

"Oh? Chen Lie is out?"

Chen Lie's aunt, Chen Lie Chen Ruoqun, saw him and stepped forward, saying, "Chen Lie, today is your Martial Artist banquet. Your aunt wishes you great progress in martial arts, may your progress be rapid and boundless!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Chen Lie casually thanked him.

At that moment, a low, mocking laugh rang out.

"His martial arts have already reached their peak, how much more can they improve?"

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw that the speaker was Chang Guirong.

Under the gaze of so many eyes, Chang Guirong felt a pang of panic, but said, "What? I'm praising him, praising his martial arts achievements as being at their peak, isn't that enough?"

Chen Ying said calmly, "Second Aunt, you were detained for half a year and only recently got out. You should have learned a lesson by now."

"As an elder, shouldn't your words and actions reflect the manners expected of an elder?"

Chang Guirong, immediately enraged, retorted, "You know I'm your elder? How dare you, a junior, speak to your elders like that? Who taught you that? You have no respect for elders!"

Chen Guangqun was standing nearby, scolded, "Alright, that's enough!"

Chang Guirong simply snorted coldly.

Everyone withdrew their gaze and ignored Chang Guirong.

At this moment, Chen Gequn's comrade-in-arms, Lu Qidong, asked, "Brother Chen, sister-in-law, when are we going to the Chuandu Grand Banquet venue for the Martial Artist Banquet?"

"Let's wait a little longer. They should be setting up the scene over there. They'll let us know when they're done," Chen Gequn said.

"They're still setting up the venue. Shouldn't the venue be set up in advance?"

"Why do you want to install interstellar coordinates? Anyway, it won't delay the banquet," Chen Gequn said.

"When I passed by this morning, I saw that the Chuandu Grand Banquet was surrounded by rows of troops, and a large area in front of the Chuandu Grand Banquet was set up as a parking area for airships. It looked like it could hold at least several hundred airships."

As more and more relatives and friends arrived at Chen Lie's Chen Lie, the living room soon became too crowded for them. Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan had no choice but to ask their relatives and friends to wait outside.

Just then, two giant, crimson birds suddenly flew in from the distant sky.

Chen Lie's younger cousin, Jiang Qiongqiong, looked up and saw two Red Giant Birds.

"Hey? Look, what's that?"

Many relatives and friends looked up and saw two Red Giant Birds pulling a golden wooden chariot, flying swiftly towards them and beginning to land.

"I'm coming down!" Chen Ying said.

In the blink of an eye, two Red Giant Birds pulled the carriage and landed outside Chen Lie's house.

A very beautiful young woman, dressed in Ancient Garments and adorned with Flying Immortal Hairstyle hairstyle, stepped down from the carriage.

This young girl is none other than Zhu Jingxi, the Princess of the Red Flame Planet Princess Lingyan.

Zhu Jingxi saw Chen Lie from afar. She walked forward with graceful steps and bowed slightly to Chen Lie.

"Brother Chen, please forgive my abrupt visit!"

Chen Lie shook his head. "Why would Princess Lingyan come here?"

Zhu Jingxi smiled sweetly, "I haven't visited Brother Chen yet. I took advantage of Brother Chen's banquet to ask the officials of the Blue Star Imperial Court about your residence, and came here to visit Brother Chen's parents. Please forgive my intrusion."

May I ask who your parents are...?

Zhu Jingxi glanced around, her eyes questioning Chen Lie.

These are my parents!

Chen Lie introduced his parents to Zhu Jingxi.

Zhu Jingxi immediately stepped forward and bowed slightly to Chen Lie's parents, giving them a dignified curtsy.

"Uncle and Aunt, I am Zhu Jingxi, from Red Flame Planet in the Eastern Star Region. I am a classmate of Brother Chen at Starry Sky University."

I apologize for this intrusion and hope you will forgive me!

Chen Lie's relatives and friends had never seen such a graceful and elegant Chinese greeting before, not to mention that Zhu Jingxi's attire resembled that of a noble lady from Blue Star hundreds of years ago, which amazed them all.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Feng Yuelan quickly stepped forward to help Zhu Jingxi up and asked, "Zhu Jingxi? You just said you're from Red Flame Planet?"

"Yes, Auntie." Zhu Jingxi nodded slightly.

The many relatives and friends standing nearby were all astonished.

They all knew that there were life-bearing planets beyond Blue Star, but they had never made contact with them. Today was the first time they had seen people from Outer Stars.

"Jing Xi, you and Chen Lie are classmates, so please take good care of him at Starry Sky University in the future," Feng Yuelan said.

"I wouldn't dare... Brother Chen's talent is exceptional, and Jing Xi may not be able to take care of him. I would like to ask Brother Chen to take care of Jing Xi instead."

Zhu Jingxi started talking with Chen Lie's parents.

A relative exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Lie is really doing well now; he actually knows people from Outer Stars!"

"So what? Once you leave Blue Star, isn't everything Outer Stars? What difference does it make if you meet a few people outside?" Chang Guirong said.

Several relatives and friends nearby glanced at Chang Guirong and then walked away.

Chang Guirong glanced at her son Chen Ye, noticing his lifeless eyes, and said, "Xiao Ye, you need to pull yourself together. You only missed out on one opportunity compared to Chen Lie. Under the same conditions, you are much better than Chen Lie."

Chen Ye did not respond, appearing out of place among the people around him.

Jiang Qiongqiong approached Chen Lie and cautiously asked, "Cousin Chen Lie, is this Sister Zhu Jingxi really from Outer Stars? What kind of person is she from Outer Stars? What does her family do?"

Chen Lie said, "She is Princess Lingyan of the Great Yan Dynasty Red Flame Planet. The Great Yan Dynasty is like an ancient dynasty on Blue Star, and she is the twelfth daughter of the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty."

"What? A princess?"

Jiang Qiongqiong was startled and looked at Zhu Jingxi. So she was the emperor's daughter. Her status was too noble.

Just then, Chen Gequn suddenly received a communication.

After receiving the call, Chen Gequn said, "Dear friends and relatives, the Chuandu Grand Banquet has been arranged, so we can go now."

Many relatives and friends boarded airships and headed to the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel.

After all their relatives and friends had boarded the airship, Zhu Jingxi stopped Chen Lie.

"Brother Chen, why don't you ride with me in my Spirit Beast Carriage?"

"Good!"

Chen Lie didn't refuse. After telling his parents, he boarded Zhu Jingxi's Spirit Beast Carriage.

Driven by Zhu Jingxi, the two Red Giant Birds pulling the carriage spread their wings and flew towards the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

Soon, Chen Lie arrived at the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Wang Shou, the president of the Blue Star Martial Artist Association, immediately said, "Chen Lie, you've arrived!"

"Hello, Chairman Wang!"

Chen Lie stepped down from the Spirit Beast Carriage and greeted Wang Shou.

Wang Shou led Chen Lie to a place and asked, "Chen Lie, we sent invitations to all your contacts using your Communication Bracelet, but only two people gave a clear reply. The others haven't given any definite answer either. We don't know if they're coming or not."

"So you're not coming?" Chen Lie said.

"Forget it, it would be best if it could deter the other Three Faction Starfields, but if not, we won't force it," Wang Shou said.

At this time, Chen Lie's parents and a group of relatives and friends arrived at the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel.

"As expected, there are many guards protecting the area; ordinary people can't get in without Admission Letter," a friend remarked.

Upon seeing this, Lei Jinglong, the Blue Star University President, immediately stepped forward to greet Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan.

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Feng, I am Lei Jinglong, the Blue Star University President. Hello!"

"Blue Star University? Principal Lei? Hello, hello!"

Chen Gequn naturally knew what the Blue Star University President meant—the most important figure on Blue Star. He never expected that the president would take the initiative to greet them.

"You two truly have a wonderful son. Chen Lie's talent is unparalleled throughout history. Blue Star Blue Star truly fortunate to have him!"

"This... I really don't deserve it..."

Lei Jinglong added, "You don't need to be modest on behalf of Chen Lie. What I said is absolutely true."

Since you two are the hosts today, please go in and preside over the banquet.

As he spoke, Lei Jinglong arranged for staff to invite Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan inside.

Just then, a Star Boat flew by from afar.

A moment later, a loud voice came from the entrance of the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

"Commander Lü Boqi, Commander of the entire army of Jurong Star, representing the Western Star Region, has arrived!"

At this moment, a strong and muscular man walked into the Chuandu Grand Banquet, biting the red carpet. This was Lü Boqi, the leader of the entire army of Jurong Star, the Permanent Councilor Star member of the Western Star Region, a Ninth-Order Grandmaster in his prime.

Wang Shou hurriedly went to greet him, "Commander Lü, you've come from afar, I'm so sorry for not welcoming you properly!"

"President Wang, you're too kind!"

"This is what Lü Boqi, the representative of the Western Star Region, said."

He looked at Chen Lie beside him. "This must be Mr. Chen Lie, the candidate for Administrator of Blue Star? Truly a young hero."

"Commander Lü, you flatter me!" Chen Lie bowed.

"Commander Lü, please come in."

Under the guidance of Wang Shou and many staff members, Lü Boqi from the Western Star Region and the rest of the Western Star Region people entered the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel.

At this moment, another Star Boat flew in from outer space and landed in the venue of the Chuandu Grand Banquet. It was Langya Star from the Southern Star Region.

As the people from the Southern Star Region disembarked from the Star Boat, a loud and clear voice rang out once again.

"Representative from the Southern Star Region, Dean Qi Taiqi of Langya Star Martial Arts Academy, has arrived!"

Qi Tai and several representatives from the Southern Star Region walked onto the red carpet and entered the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

"Dean Qi, welcome."

Wang Shou stepped forward and shook hands with Qi Tai.

"The Four-Sided Star Domain were originally one family."

"Your Excellency Chen Lie, the candidate for Administrator of this esteemed star, is a genius unseen in a millennium in the Four Star Region. We must naturally attend his Martial Artist Banquet!"

As he spoke, Qi Tai looked at Chen Lie: "On the occasion of this banquet, the eleven stars of the Southern Star Region Chen Lie Mr. Chen Lie continued progress in his martial arts, reaching new heights."

"Thank you very much, Dean Qi!" Chen Liedao said.

"Dean Qi, distinguished guests from the Southern Star Region, please come inside!"

At Wang Shou's invitation, Qi Tai and the rest of the Southern Star Region attended the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

Soon, people from the southern, western, and northern Three Faction Starfields all arrived.

"Wow... so many people from Outer Stars!"

Chen Lie's relatives and friends were all shocked.

They heard the statistics that the people attending Chen Lie's martial arts banquet included important figures from 28 planets.

Such a grand banquet for Martial Artist is truly unheard of.

At that moment, another Star Boat flew in from the distant horizon.

The Star Boat landed in an empty space, and two boys and a girl Star Boat off.

These three were none other than Hou Yutan, Qiao Xuanxi, and Nie Cheng of Heavy Rain Star.

After disembarking from the Star Boat, Hou Yutan looked around and asked, "Is this Blue Star? Brother Chen's home planet?"

"It doesn't look particularly special; its construction is far inferior to that of Heavy Rain Star."

Qiao Xuanxi said calmly, "Blue Star is a remote planet; how can it be compared to Heavy Rain Star?"

"Then how do you explain Brother Chen's martial arts?" Nie Cheng asked.

"The strength or weakness of martial arts is attributable to people, but can it also be determined by the environment?"

Just as Heavy Rain Star and the other two were arguing, the Blue Star host stepped forward to inquire.

"May I ask where you three are from?"

Hou Yutan said, "We are from Heavy Rain Star, Chen Lie's classmates from Starry Sky University."

"So you're a Heavy Rain Star! Please come in!"

Heavy Rain Star and the other two nodded and entered the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

The three saw Chen Lie in front of the Chuandu Grand Banquet and immediately went up to him.

"Brother Chen, how have you been?"

Chen Lie saw Hou Yutan and the other two, nodded, and said, "You've arrived?"

"Yes, as soon as we received your invitation, we decided to come. We wanted to see what Blue Star was really like," Hou Yutan said.

"Okay, go ahead and watch!"

Qiao Xuanxi glanced into the Chuandu Grand Banquet and asked, "What's the deal with this banquet of yours?"

"It's just a custom on Blue Star. When a martial artist on Blue Star breaks through to the True Qi Martial Artist, they all hold a Martial Artist banquet," Chen Lie replied.

"But you've been Martial Artist for quite some time now, haven't you? And you're still holding Martial Artist banquet?"

"Reissue it!"

"There seem to be quite a few people inside. Shall we go inside and take a look?"

"Good!"

Chen Lie summoned several hotel staff members and had them lead Hou Yutan and the other two into the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

Just then, another miniature Star Boat landed.

A woman of about twenty-five years old with a beautiful appearance and a delicate girl of about 18 years old disembarked from the Star Boat.

The receptionist quickly stepped forward and asked, "Where are you two from?"

"Canglong Star!"

The beautiful woman said calmly.

"So you are a distinguished guest from Canglong Star! Please come in!"

Before the receptionist could finish speaking, the beautiful woman flashed by, like a blur, and was already in front of Chen Lie in the next second.

"Assistant Huang?"

Upon seeing this beautiful woman, Chen Lie was immediately surprised.

He hadn't expected that his teaching assistant, Huang Yuxi, would also come to Blue Star and attend his Martial Artist banquet.

The two people who arrived were Chen Lie's Martial Arts Assistant Instructor Huang Yuxi and her younger sister Huang Yucheng.

Huang Yuxi looked intently at Chen Lie and immediately asked, "You've broken through to the ' Five Qi Converging at the Origin ' realm?"

Upon close observation, Chen Lie Huang Yuxi keenly sensed that Chen Lie had already gathered the Five Elements True Qi Martial Artist Ultimate Realm, 'True Qi Five Qi Converging at the Origin '.

"Yes, just a few days ago."

Huang Yuxi remained silent. She had wanted to remind Chen Lie not to waste his martial arts training time by holding a banquet. Martial arts is about seizing every second, and Chen Lie had already been back on Blue Star for more than half a month.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lie skills had not declined at all; on the contrary, they were surprisingly fast. In such a short time, Chen Lie had already completed the ' Five Qi Converging at the Origin '.

This level of progress in martial arts left her unsure how to even offer any guidance.

"What? You've already broken through to the True Qi Ultimate Realm?"

Huang Yucheng, who arrived later, heard her sister's words and looked at Chen Lie in disbelief.

What level of martial arts talent does this person possess? How could they have reached the ' Five Qi Converging at the Origin ' realm in such a short time?

This is outrageous!

She has been comprehending the essence of martial arts, but it took her almost half a year to break through the ' Five Qi Converging at the Origin ' stage a few days ago. Such progress is already considered rapid on Canglong Star.

But compared to Chen Lie, it was like a snail's pace.

Even the most outstanding martial arts geniuses on Canglong Star are only this good, right?

Huang Yuxi paused for a moment and said, "Your martial arts progress is very fast, but you need to work harder in your training and save time. Strive to reach a higher level of martial arts before you turn 30. This is the most important thing for you."

Don't let external things interfere with your martial arts training, like this banquet.

Chen Liedao, "After the banquet, I will return to Starry Sky University. This banquet was only held because our home planet needed it; otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to such lengths."

Huang Yuxi hummed in agreement. Since it was something Blue Star needed, she didn't dare to say anything more.

"Teaching assistant, what brings you here?"

Chen Lie knew that Huang Yuxi was at the peak of the Eighth-Order Innate Embryonic Breath Realm, a top-level Grandmaster Martial Artist, and had been listed on both the Hidden Dragon Rankings and the Flying Dragon Rankings.

Although she is an eighth-level Martial Arts Grandmaster, she is a top-tier warrior of the Ten-Star Alliance. Even the top Ninth-Order Martial Artist on Blue Star might not be her match.

Logically speaking, we shouldn't waste time making a trip to Blue Star.

"Didn't you invite me?" Huang Yuxi retorted.

This sentence stumped Chen Lie: "You'll come just because I invited you?"

"Yes, then please come in, teaching assistant!"

Chen Lie personally escorted Huang Yuxi into the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel.

Huang Yuxi hummed in agreement and entered the hotel with Chen Lie.

Inside the hotel, Lei Jinglong saw Huang Yuxi and asked Chen Liedao, "Chen Lie, who is this young lady...?"

"Principal Lei, this is Huang Yuxi, my teaching assistant in the Martial Way Department of Starry Sky University," Chen Lie introduced.

"It's Assistant Teacher Huang!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Jinglong immediately greeted him, saying, "Hello, Assistant Professor Huang, I am Lei Jinglong, the Blue Star University President."

The Martial Arts Assistant Instructor at Starry Sky University are all top-tier geniuses from Canglong Star, and they are highly likely to become Heaven-Human Realm Martial Artist in the future. This is a heavyweight guest.

The fact that he was willing to attend Chen Lie's Martial Artist banquet suggests that he values Chen Lie highly.

Huang Yuxi responded softly, without saying anything more.

Chen Lie arranged for Huang Yuxi and her sister to stay in a relatively quiet place.

"Teaching Assistant Huang, please wait here for a moment. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Huang Yuxi simply hummed in response.

After Chen Lie left, Huang Yucheng couldn't help but ask, "Sister, are you sure you didn't see wrong? Did that kid really break through to the Five Qi Converging to Origin Realm?"
