Section 72: So I Have the Star Saint’s Will!
2014-06-18 Author: Gu Zhenren
“Hehehe…” Hearing Chu Yun’s refusal, the Star Maiden threw her head back and laughed. “You hypocrites, you all want us, yet you use noble excuses. You, Chu Yun, are no different from the Country Lord of Tang Jin Kingdom, a cunning wretch. Do you think imprisoning the Blissful Joy Ship means I have no other options? Sisters, can you hear my call? Come out swiftly and join me!”
Before her words even fell, her entire body erupted with brilliant starlight. Guided by this starlight, the Blissful Joy Ship, which was initially trapped in the blood plain of the Upper grade Immortal Pouch, was no longer controlled by other Immortal Consorts. It broke free from Chu Yun’s Immortal Pouch and appeared before the Star Maiden.
“You can actually influence the Blissful Joy Ship. You must be one of our sisters.”
“But why have we never seen you before?!”
“Stop plotting against Young Master Chu Yun. We have signed an ally Contract with him. He is our true friend and has been working tirelessly for our sisters’ cause!”
On the Blissful Joy Ship, Hongshang Fairy, Feiyang Fairy, and others were already prepared for battle. Amidst their sweet voices, they completely dispelled the Star Maiden’s misunderstanding regarding Chu Yun.
“What?” Seeing that the sisters she had eagerly awaited were all on Chu Yun’s side, the Star Maiden was deeply astonished.
“Sisters, it’s me.” The Star Maiden removed the veil from her face, revealing a countenance as beautiful as a goddess.
At this moment, she looked at the Immortal Consorts before her, her star-like eyes filled with concern and urgency. “Are you saying this under his secret command? Don’t be afraid. I calculated it countless times to arrive at this peerless opportunity. If we seize this chance, we can not only eliminate all others but also control this Supreme grade Immortal Pouch and become the rulers of this chaotic World ourselves. From then on, we will roam freely, and no one will be able to threaten us!”
“You are Xingyu Immortal Consort? Why is your aura so indistinct, and why do you have such a great influence over the Blissful Joy Ship?” Upon seeing the Star Maiden’s true face, Xia Fan Immortal immediately recognized her old friend.
“By chance, I was used as refining material by Bai Xiaosheng and was mixed with innate star essence, then re-refined. I am now an innate Demon Soldier, hence my aura has changed. The moment the refining was complete, I broke free from the furnace and escaped Bai Xiaosheng’s control. I have been using the identity of the Star Maiden as a disguise, diligently gathering other Immortal Consort Demon Soldiers. After much scheming, I finally calculated this opportunity to reunite with my sisters!” the Star Maiden hastily explained.
“So that’s how it is. Welcome back, good sister!” Xia Fan Immortal’s eyes welled up with tears of excitement. But immediately, her delicate body trembled, and she stomped her foot, exclaiming, “Xingyu, quickly tell us the method to win. Young Master Chu Yun is truly our ally. If we delay any longer, it will be too late.”
“Indeed, Xingyu, quickly reveal this method. We are Chu Yun’s allies, we cannot be ungrateful!” At the same time, Hongshang Fairy, Feiyang Fairy, and the others also urgently asked.
“Is it possible that there are men in this World who truly do not covet the beauty of our sisters and have no intentions of defiling them?” Xingyu Immortal was greatly surprised. She and the Blissful Joy Ship were a set of Demon Soldiers and could sense that the Immortal Consorts’ words were sincere.
“Oh my, now is not the time to argue about this.” Many fairies began to stomp their feet.
High in the sky, Chu Yun’s Net of Law had already been half-swallowed. If not for the unyielding nature of Old Dan King’s law and the subtle restraint of the Tathagata Law on the Ghost Continent’s Net of Law, Chu Yun’s Net of Law would have collapsed long ago.
“Alright, Chu Yun, I will tell you. As long as you take out the Star Saint’s Will you hold, you can immediately defeat the enemy. The Star Saint’s Will was written by the Star Saint and contains some laws from the supreme Net of Law of Xingzhou. Each copy of the Star Saint’s Will has as many as one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six laws,” Xingyu Immortal said without further hesitation, her clear voice extremely pleasant.
But Chu Yun was stunned. He spread his hands in confusion. “How could I have the Star Saint’s Will? If I did, I would have read it long ago.”
“This is impossible! I clearly calculated that you have it. Without the Star Saint’s Will, how could your cultivation level have improved so quickly?” Xingyu Immortal’s beautiful eyes widened.
Hearing this, the Spirit within Chu Yun’s body trembled. His expression shifted from confusion to realization, and then to great joy. “I know! So that was the Star Saint’s Will! No wonder I could see the Supreme Law King of Xingzhou through it!”
He took out the sealed scroll.
It was the scroll he had obtained from the Night Emperor’s coffin by searching his body.
The Night Emperor had held it in his hand before he died, indicating its importance. However, it was covered in countless seals placed by the Night Emperor, and Chu Yun had never seen its contents.
Later, by relying on the seals on it, he achieved the cultivation of half a sealing master. Then, by chance, he discovered that by holding the scroll and activating his Heavenly Eye, he could see the supreme Net of Law of Xingzhou with one hundred percent clarity.
So that was it!
So this was the Star Saint’s Will, no wonder the Night Emperor valued it so much. No wonder holding it allowed him to see the supreme Net of Law of Xingzhou. But why did it resonate with that ancient bowl? Could that ancient blue pottery bowl also be a Saint Artifact of the Star Saint?
In an instant, Chu Yun’s mind raced with thoughts, connecting various points. At the same time, he did not stop his actions. He wielded the Drunken Snow Saber, unleashed the Dao Transformation, and continuously unsealed the scroll.
“No—!” Seeing this, one of the Night Emperor’s five great avatars, the mysterious Dream Talk Master, completely lost his composure and shouted.
His cry was filled with unwillingness, anger, and shock.
He had previously tried to recruit the Star Maiden precisely to guard against her potential discovery of the existence of the Star Saint’s Will and the revelation of this secret.
However, the Star Maiden, who was solely focused on rescuing her sisters and was also an Immortal Consort Demon Soldier, was psychologically wary of powerful Monster Tamers. When the Night Emperor tried to recruit her, she almost believed he had seen through her true identity and dared not agree.
Failing to recruit her, the mysterious Dream Talk Master could only place his hope in the possibility that the Star Maiden would not calculate the existence of the Star Saint’s Will. But things went against his wishes, and the scene he least wanted to see ultimately occurred.
Chu Yun had discovered the existence of the Star Saint’s Will.
The Star Saint’s Will!
It was a supreme Saint Artifact that he, the Night Emperor, had sealed with immense effort in the past. It was precisely because of its existence that the Night Emperor felt the vastness of Heaven and Earth and his own insignificance.
However, unlike the powerhouses of previous generations, he did not exert his full effort to comprehend the laws inscribed on the Star Saint’s Will. Instead, he took an opposite approach, began to ponder how to counteract these laws.
He summoned all the powerhouses of that era and set them short-term goals, having them conduct continuous research. Anyone who dared to disobey him, no matter who they were, even a King level expert, he would either kill them or imprison them in the high tower at the center of Night Emperor City.
That was his era, where he cast endless darkness, leaving infinite mysteries for future generations.
However, as the research deepened, he increasingly felt the profound mysteries within Heaven and Earth and glimpsed a trace of the world’s truth.
But just as he was about to succeed, Heaven and Earth sensed it and unleashed boundless Lightning Tribulation.
The Night Emperor had long foreseen this. He understood that Heaven and Earth could not tolerate such a traitor. With great effort, he utilized more than half of his research results to erect the Dao Transformation Wall, resisting wave after wave of Lightning Tribulation.
Just as he thought he was about to succeed, a meteor fell, and the Outer Heavenly Demon Calamity descended.
He had failed!
Even as powerful as he was, he was defeated by his own Outer Heavenly Demon. However, even in death, he had made arrangements for his future.
He had long ago made an alliance with the Underworld Emperor of Ghost Continent. In exchange for the divine ability level Dao Transformation, and with the Underworld Emperor’s help, he returned to Xingzhou.
But he could not directly revive. Night Emperor City was constantly being sensed by Heaven and Earth. The moment he entered, he would be attacked by the Outer Heavenly Demon again.
He could not even have his soul fully possess a body. Nor could he use Dao techniques beyond Supreme grade, divine ability level. This was because doing so would reveal his aura, leading to the descent of the Outer Heavenly Demon once more.
He divided his soul into five parts and began to cultivate anew. To counter the laws of Heaven and Earth, he even made a sacrifice, having one of his avatars personally become an Abacus Master to study and counter the supreme Net of Law of Xingzhou.
The Star Saint’s Will!
This was the starting point of his Night Emperor’s rebellious path, the driving force that ignited his unyielding struggle. To master it was to master a part of the supreme Net of Law of Xingzhou and comprehend a corner of Heaven and Earth. It was a treasure among treasures.
But now, it was being used by an enemy to counter him.
Even more ironically, it was the Dao Transformation technique originating from the Night Emperor that unsealed the seals he had previously established.
The seals were completely broken!
In fact, Chu Yun had only dispelled part of them when the Star Saint’s Will in his hand vibrated more intensely. Ultimately, it shattered the remaining seals and, like a shooting star, flew towards the sky.
Whoosh!
It unfolded, emitting boundless radiance. As if it were a sovereign descending upon the world, looking down upon all living beings.
The Night Emperor’s Net of Law was frozen by its light, and so was Chu Yun’s. The turbulent chaotic sea around them gradually calmed down. The space originally opened by Chu Yun and the others also expanded outwards with the dazzling starlight.
Gradually, it formed a vast space nearly a hundred times larger than its original scale.
This was the might of the Star Saint’s Will!
The methods of a Saint, power beyond comprehension.
“No! My Night Emperor calculated everything, and even in this situation, I foresaw it. I will never give up! I will rebel to the end!” The mysterious Dream Talk Master let out a tragic laugh. “Although I do not have enough Spirit to fully integrate the Dao Transformation technique, even this unfinished version is enough to kill you all! Let us perish together!”
With that, the mysterious Dream Talk Master spread his arms, abandoning even the Netherworld Umbrella. His entire body ignited with deep gray flames.
His body melted completely in the flames, like a candle meeting heat. The flames burned quietly, emanating an infinite, eerie aura. Then, the gray flames cut through the sky and directly struck the Star Saint’s Will.
