The Black Turtle Flying Swords became the Zhi Ming Seven Stars, and the seven sword-lights rampaged.
Su Mian's expression was calm. The Seventy-two Outer Void Flying Immortals Swords' sword-spirits emerged. The purple sword-spirit beauties faced the assault of the Black Turtle Seven Stars, brandishing their swords to block.
The purple sword-light did not lose out to the Black Turtle in the slightest.
Chen Mo's Divine Intent moved. The Black Turtle Swords' magic energy flowed, and the purple light sword-spirits kept the Black Turtle Swords occupied. Su Mian pointed her finger. Sword-light flashed, and the sword-spirits already surrounded Chen Mo, their sword-qi assaulting him directly.
"Your Majesty Mian's Flying Swords are very formidable. My Black Turtle Swords are unable to stop them." Chen Mo was a bit surprised. His sword chant was one of Star World's Three Great Sword Chants. Although it was not very complete, the Black Turtle Swords also used the Zhi Ming Seven Stars in their forging. But against Su Mian's sword chant, they grasped no advantage at all and were easily suppressed.
Her sword chant was very peculiar as well. Chen Mo had never seen the like. The sword-light was magnificent, able to manifest True Spirits, impossible to defend against.
Recalling her identity as the ruler of the Central Star Field, to be able to possess such a peerless sword chant was only natural.
"These Flying Swords are forged of This Palace's Purple Rose qi. Even the Destined Star Weapons of first-rate Star Generals may not necessarily be able to block them." Su Mian said self-confidently. "Your Distinguished Self's sword chant is incomplete. We can try again later."
"Your Servant will challenge Your Majesty again in the future." Chen Mo nodded.
The two of them sheathed their weapons.Liu Houxiu watched all along from the side, her expression considerably warm.
She said: "These things should be returned to their rightful owner."
Six star-like Star Stones glimmered in the air, forming every kind of unique shape. They were none other than the other six of the Jian Bing Seven Stars.
Back when Chen Mo injured the White Tiger, he had lost consciousness before he could collect the six Star Stones. Afterwards, he learned that Liu Houxiu had taken them, but he could not easily ask for them back. After all, she had saved his life. These Jian Bing Seven Star Stones were very beneficial to the Star Mansion Palace Cloud Terrace's Star Generals. He did not expect that she would surprisingly give them to him.
"Your Cloud Terrace officers won't use them?" Chen Mo asked.
"That would be a reward undeserved. You obtained these Seven Star Stones yourself."
Chen Mo was not modest. These Jian Bing Seven Stars were enormously helpful to him, but it was a pity the last Bi Mansion Star Stone was taken by Li Qingyi as she used Fury Of The Beginning; this was the one he was missing.
Su Mian stayed at the Star Mansion Palace for three days.
Owing to caution towards the Central Star Field, as well as the scene with Liu Che, it appeared that Huo Guang and the other Star Generals were not at all unreconciled. The situation was clearly quite suspicious. Chen Mo asked her about many things, but the girl was still very guarded. Many of her answers were ambiguous dismissals or barely scratched the surface.
Su Mian was very curious about Chen Mo's background. She could see that the man in front of her concealed many things. The two of them had a tacit understanding about this, and for the past three days, they were quite harmonious.
After she left, Chen Mo engrossed himself in recovering his Star Energy and cultivating the White Tiger's soul. The time until the Mount Hua contest was already down to a few days. Chen Mo was currently recovering his power with all his might. Fortunately, the Star Mansion Palace was on a Star Leyline, and he also had access to the Cloud Pool's star water. In just a few days, most of his Star Energy was replenished, and the White Tiger's soul was more or less harmonized.
Having stayed at the Star Mansion Palace for about a month, Chen Mo decided to bid Liu Houxiu farewell.
"Where are you prepared to go next?" Liu Houxiu asked.
"I'm preparing to return to Mount Hua first." The Mount Hua contest was about to begin. The Senior Sisters were also worrying about him. It was time to go back.
"‘Western Moon' Mount Hua?"
"I hear that Western Moon Mount Hua has gotten into a spat with the Golden Age Tyrant. The two of them have wagered Mount Hua in this contest, which left the Central Star Field with its hands tied." Ma Yuan threw Chen Mo a puzzled glance: "Do you want to go watch the contest? Your Servant advises you not tread into these muddy waters. The Golden Age Tyrant is not easy to get along with."
"I won't hide the truth. I am a disciple of Mount Hua. I'm going to participate in the contest." During this month of contact, Chen Mo treated Liu Houxiu as a friend and thus informed her.
"Huh?" Ma Yuan was flabbergasted. "You are a disciple of Mount Hua? No wonder you are so formidable…Western Moon Mount Hua is one of Star World's Five Moons. Although their position among the Five Moons declined and are already not as prominent as they once were after the Central Star Field took control of Star World, to be able to become a distinguished disciple is not something the average Star Warrior can achieve." Thinking of this, Chen Mo's astonishing capabilities seemed to have a very reasonable explanation.
Ma Yuan's expression was strange as she said: "But the distance between the Western Lin Star Field and the Yuanwu Star Field is very long. I fear it would be already too late even if you hurried back right now."
Chen Mo nearly fainted. Only then did he recall that Star World had nine thousand Star Fields, and the distance between them was extremely vast. Unless he was a Heavenly Star, he was basically unable to traverse several large Star Kingdoms as he pleased. Even if he relied on the Shifting Star Array, that would still require some time if the two kingdoms were far from each other.
If he had realized it sooner, he would have sought out Zhiyan.1 She was of the School Of Diplomacy and was apparently able to easily go anywhere in Star World.
"Is there any solution?" Chen Mo asked.
"You will need to pass through at least a thousand Star Fields in order to reach the Sui Ye Star Kingdom. Along the way, you will also be required to issue every kind of Star Field travel pass." Ma Yuan analyzed. This would take at least three months.
Seeing Chen Mo's vexation, Liu Xiu flatly said: "I just so happen to want to watch the Mount Hua contest. I will send you over."
"Princess, you want to go to the Sui Ye Star Kingdom?" Ma Yuan was astonished.
"En."
"But the Golden Age Tyrant, she…" Ma Yuan was a bit hesitant. The two kingdoms did not have much correspondence. Yang Guang was also quite the grandiose in her ambitions and achievements, and the last time she was at the Purple Rose Star Palace, she proposed the construction of the Star River Channels to link several large Star Fields. Because this engineering project was too vast and a waste of manpower and resources, she was overruled by Liu Xiu, earning her the Golden Age Tyrant's severe displeasure.
"She will not discover me." Liu Houxiu said.
"Then please allow Your Servant to accompany you, Princess!" Ma Yuan requested.
"No need. I merely want to go to Mount Hua to watch. You stay at the Star Mansion Palace to mend for now. The Yuanwu Star Kingdom needs you to help Yin Lihua, Deng Yu and the others."
Liu Houxiu declined.
Ma Yuan understood the princess' personality. She would not budge on what she decided.
"Then I will have tor trouble you." Chen Mo was very delighted to have the Son Of Heaven's accompaniment. Should trouble happen during the contest, perhaps she could even help him.
"Not a word of this to anyone." Liu Houxiu ordered.
"As you command."
That night, Chen Mo bade everyone farewell. Upon learning that he was leaving, Deng Yu, Jia Fu, and the other women politely wished him well. Over the past few days, Chen Mo had become acquainted with them. After harmonizing the Four Symbols soul in his body, the stars of the Star Mansion Palace also felt considerably familiar, their relationship markedly better.
Even the initially very opposed Jing Dan no longer protested or acted fussy.
"Next time, you can't be injured. The Princess will not let you live in the Star Mansion palace ever again." Heavenly Bat General "Female Earth Bat" Jing Dan2 snorted.
Chen Mo smiled, warmth in his heart. "Many thanks for the concern, Little Sister Nanxiu.3 The next time I come to the Star Mansion Palace, I'll definitely be in perfect shape."
Hearing this man utter her True Name, Jing Nanxiu snorted and looked away.
…
As agreed upon, Chen Mo first waited for Liu Houxiu on a mountaintop outside the city.
Chen Mo grew bored of waiting and practiced his martial arts on the summit, throwing a punch towards the forest. Punch-wind blew, and a large, skyscraping tree was completely uprooted and toppled over.
"This simple punch is stronger than even the old Qiankun Seal. As expected of the harmonized White Tiger soul, heh, heh." Chen Mo was inwardly impressed with the power he sensed in the punch. He barely used even a bit of magic energy. If he used Star Energy in combination with a Heaven, Earth, Dark, or Yellow, he could fight off even an average Heavenly Star.
Chen Mo practiced for a while on the peak. All of a sudden, space contorted, and a ray of rainbow light pierced through the shadow of the night.
"Even from faraway, I could sense formidable power. Truly as expected of the Four Symbols White Tiger's soul."
When Chen Mo heard this voice, he smiled.
"This is all thanks to your help, Qingyi."
A chariot appeared in the rainbow light; it was none other than the Lunar Rainbow Thousand Chariot. On it were two women, a little girl dressed in a black skirt and long boots, and a silent and stiff woman dressed in green long robes.
The one who spoke was the driver of the Lunar Rainbow Thousand Chariot, Zhiyan. She looked at the Primeval Chaos Star Energy in Chen Mo's punch. Just by using her Vertical Alliance Innate Skill, she could feel its very powerful pressure.
"Seems you have been very cheerful in the Star Mansion Palace." Li Qingyi narrowed her eyes.
"Hee, hee, Qingyi even said you were not her man, but these words truly are sour jealousy." Zhi Yan snickered.
Li Qingyi wrinkled her brow.
"Can't blame her for being so jealous. Ai, even now, Qingyi still has not recovered from the injuries she sustained during the ‘Yuanshou.'" Zhiyan explained.
"Qingyi, need me to do anything?" Chen Mo kindly asked.
"You do not need to worry about me. We Star Generals are already accustomed to suffering wounds." Li Qingyi disapproved.
"You finally came out of the Star Mansion Palace, we didn't come find you to reminisce." ZHi Yan craftily said as she chuckled.
"Really? I still want to chat with Qingyi more." Chen Mo feigned a disappointed appearance.
"Fine, enough small talk. Hand them over." Zhiyan stuck out her hand.
"The Seven Star Stones?"
Chen Mo said.
"Of course, do you know why the White Tiger was so content to let you kill it in the end?" Zhiyan chuckled.
Chen Mo shook his head.
"Qingyi's ‘Fury Of The Beginning' was able to allow the White Tiger to fall into a Primeval Chaos illusion, to allow it to temporarily recover its consciousness. Although unable to kill it, the technique stirred the White Tiger's dignity as a Holy Beast. That is why it allowed you to free it."
Zhiyan's words were logical, but Chen Mo was not sure if they were true or not. However, no matter what, if not for Li Qingyi's Heaven Rank, he indeed would have been unable to kill the White Tiger.
"Fine." Chen Mo was a man who kept his word. The six Star Stones flew out from his body; they were indeed the Jian Bing Seven Mansions.
"I have the White Tiger's soul. These Seven Star Stones are rightfully yours." Chen Mo nodded.
"You are not reluctant?" Li Qingyi did not expect Chen Mo to be so frank.
"Those with integrity cannot be too greedy." Chen Mo smiled. He possessed the White Tiger's soul, so the White Tiger Flying Swords were actually not that important, and compared to this, to be able to cement a friendship with the Dragon Of Pushan was profitable.
"Zhiyan was right, this man definitely would give it to you." The girl sitting on the chariot kicked her legs.
"Then Qingyi shall take them." Li Qingyi pointed her hand, taking the six Star Mansion Stones into her grasp. Then, she took out that Star Stone she had obtained. The Jian Bing Seven Stars combined into one and suddenly showed the form of the White Tiger.
The Seven Mansion Star Stones spun in her palm, glowing bright.
Staying silent for a while, Li Qingyi said: "Do you realize why I wanted to recruit you to kill the White Tiger?"
"Wasn't it for the Seven Star Stones?"
"Besides the Seven Mansion Star Stones, Your Servant wanted to obtain the experience of fighting the White Tiger." Li Qingyi said.
Chen Mo knew the White Tiger's Realm was sufficient to be Xuannü Realm, equivalent to a super first-rate Star General. To gain the experience of fighting against such a Star General was extremely valuable.
"Your Servant returns these Seven Star Stones to you." Li Qingyi was silent for a moment. She pushed her hand, and the seven Star Stones flew before Chen Mo.
