Maiden Galaxy

Chapter 517: Without Ultimate True Qi, A Rapidly Changing Situation

Snowfield.

Chen Mo practiced the Bagua, his legs carving perfect and immaculate Bagua patterns. His arms and fists swung, and four types of Seven Star Mansions appeared in the cardinal directions. The Azure Dragon soared in the east, the White Tiger bowed in the west, the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings in the south, and the Black Turtle defended the north.

The Four Symbols danced. Like the grand supreme deities outlined in the "Classic of the Transcendent," there were twelve Azure Dragons to the left, twenty-six White Tigers to the right, twenty-four Vermilion Birds to the front, and seventy-two Black Turtle behind. They were all very imposing, truly awe-inspiring.

In Chen Mo's reactions, the Four Symbols presided over the four directions. Twenty-eight Star Mansions outlined a vast picture, and all worldly things seemed to be a large Yin Yang formation. Good, bad, orthodox, unorthodox, active, quite, man, woman, everything was contained within. And a person's life was an enormous forge, one that all people were smelted in. Some were refined into the essential, some into jewels, and others remained unchanging and stubborn. But even more were destroyed during the refinement.

The power of the Four Great Spirits endlessly melded inside Chen Mo's body. His acupuncutre points were all covered in the power of the Four Symbols. Because of the Bodhi Soul Technique, the Carefree True Qi, and sages' aspirations, the Four Symbols' harmonization was extremely swift.

Xiang Yu cocked her head, watching with endless interest.

The Bagua's changes, the Four Symbols' transformations, the life and death of the Dual Modes.

When she saw Chen Mo perfectly control the Carefree True Qi, a consummate Daosim, like that highest Realm of Daoism, "return to the Without Ultimate," encompassing the Bagua, Four Symbols, and Dual Modes entirely.

"This man is truly formidable. Seems he completely comprehended the Book Of Changes." Xiang Yu twitched her mouth. She was more entranced the more she watched. This was the first time she had seen such a sight ever since she birthed her Star Name. Back then, the Purple Rose Star Emperor also had tremendous abilities and was unparalleled under Heaven, but even he did not control the Four Symbols.

The Book Of Changes was Star World's most sublime canon of martial arts. It contained the quintessence of the great universe, and legend said it came from Maiden Mountain. Countless Star Generals all pursued it, but not a single one was able to achieve it. She never imagined there would be a Star Warrior capable of it in this era, and that they would be a man.

"In change, there is the Supreme Ultimate, which gives rise to the Dual Modes. The Dual Modes give rise to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols to the Bagua!"

Chen Mo adopted the Supreme Ultimate. His fists stopped, and he looked at the deep lines of the Bagua. The Four Symbols' brilliantly dancing True Spirits and the Yin Yang of life and death, of activity and stillness, could be seen melding into Chen Mo's mind with the naked eye. Then, everything returned to silence, like boundlessness, brimming with the air of the infinite.

This air was formless, but it nevertheless actually existed everywhere at once. Each breath seemed to contain the origins of the universe, the rules for the operation of all of Star World. Chen Mo opened his palm, and the formless air slowly took shape, forming a vortex of nothingness.

This void vortex was extremely similar to the compressed Star Fields in the void sea of stars.

Carefree True Qi!

The Book Of Changes' highest Realm, that which combined the Bagua, Four Symbols, Dual Modes, and Carefree True Qi. Fortunately he already had Carefree True Qi, otherwise, harmonizing the Four Symbols would perhaps need a century. Fortunately, Zhuangzi's lifelong legacy was honestly tremendous, the carefree True Qi of Heavenly Dao.

Xiang Yu's eyes widened. All of a sudden, she sinisterly grinned.

"Let This Hegemon King taste just how powerful this Four Symbols harmony is." She impatiently entered her tyrant personality and threw a punch towards Chen Mo's face.

The punch carried enormous pressure, as if it to sink Heaven itself. Even a Lord Of heaven could not stop it.

Bang!!

The Hegemon King's first was caught by Chen Mo's palm. Under the powerful urging of Carefree True Qi, her formidable power was instantly silenced in his grasp. All of a sudden, Xiang Yu felt a fierce Star Energy bound over, like a pouncing White Tiger. Her body was pushed back.

Hm?

Xiang Yu lifted her gaze to see that Chen Mo had already pursued her at light speed. His fingers clenched, brandishing an iron-like fist.

"Not bad!" Xiang Yu's palm swatted Chen Mo's punch away, leaving her palm surprisingly feeling numb.

After harmonizing the Four Symbols, Chen Mo's every move right not contained the power of the Four Symbols. His offense, defense, spirit, and speed matched even the best Star Marquis.

"Xixi,¹ what are you preparing to do next?" Chen Mo pondered whether or not to borrow Xiang Yu's power to handle the other great Star Marquis. Wang Mang and Ran Min had already Starfallen. The Central Star Field's disarray was already unavoidable. The future would be dangerously chaotic, but Xiang Yu seemed to be the public enemy of the Central Star Field. It did not seem very appropriate either for her to be with Mount Hua.

The tyrant personality Xiang Yu coldly snorted, disdaining to answer a man's question. The coldness in her eyes faded, subsequnetly replaced by her soft personality.

"Why make This Hegemon King face this man." Xiang Yu indignantly said.

"Scared that I'll eat you?" Chen Mo could not help but smile.

Xiang Yu cast him a sidelong glance. The Four Symbols harmonization and Chen Mo's Book Of Changes had improved markedly, and his body had a Without Ultimate air. He appeared unfathomable. "This Hegemon King will go kill the other Star Marquis. Do you dare go?"

"Why do such a thing?" Chen Mo only then recalled this serious question. The current Hegemon King Of Western Chu Xiang Yu appeared like the role of a traitor. "Can it be for revenge?"

"This Hegemon King wants to create a new Star Era. In the previous Star Era, This Hegemon King was unable to best the Purple Rose Star Emperor a nd was even sealed by him. This time, This Hegemon King will take back everything that had been lost." Xiang Yu sneered.

"Do you actually feel that you can face the entire Central Star Field?" Chen Mo wrinkled his brow.

"Are you doubting This Hegemon King?" Xiang Yu glowered.

"The Central Star Field's Su Mian is a good friend of mine, but you are also my little sister. Can't you two get along?" Chen Mo felt this was troublesome.

"You are familiar with Dream In A Millennium?" Xiang Yu was very surprised.

"Of course."

"She cannot be trusted."

The current Xiang Yu wanted to overturn Central's Star World. Chen Mo did not want to argue with her about Su Mian's conduct, but he was certain that if Xiang Yu actually continued like this, the situation would be no different from back then. It seemed he would need to find time to speak with Su Mian, to see if there was the possibility of defusing the situation. "She is not a bad person. If you two get along, you will become friends."

"This Hegemon King is very understanding of the Purple Rose Star Emperor's daughter. If you not believe This Hegemon King, then do not. In short, This Hegemon King will overturn Star World. Should the time come that you stand in the way, This Hegemon King absolutely will not show mercy. This Hegemon King has returned your favor of saving this life. We are even."

Chen Mo was helpless, and there was not enough time to bother about her. Mount Hua's situation was urgent and required that he immediately hurry back.

Chen Mo used his Without Ultimate True Qi, transforming into an Azure Dragon that sped quickly through the void sea of stars. The primordial fetters that existed in the void sea of stars were completely obliterated as he raced for the Western Lin Star Field.

…

Li Shimin, Su Mian, and the others hurried to the exterior of the Great Ming Palace. They happened to spot Li Ziyan, Wang Dao, Li Xunxu and the others manage to once again seal the sage True Spirits of Du Fu, Wang Xizhi and the others back into the steles, but what made Li Liangyi change expressions was not this. Zhu Yuanzhang's Sun And Moon True Spirit Projections were destroyed by the Star Generals. The Ten Thousand Sages Hall's sage-light dimmed, and the sages suddenly vanished.

Those nine steles at the center of the hall flickered and glowed.

The Universe Eternity Spirit Treasure suddenly became a masterless thing.

Liu Hongyu, Li Shimin, Su Mian, Wu Zhao, and the rest had gone to the Great Ming Palace to attack Zhu Yuanzhang's true body. Although the remaining Li Cunxu, Li Bai, Li Jing, and Dong Zhongshu were also top-notch existences, they did not dare face "Buddha-killing Monster" Tuoba Tao's power head-on.

The Eight Pillars Kingdom and the the Fubing Twelve Great Generals all adopted a defensive formation around Tuoba Tao, appearing overbearing.

Tuoba Tao's expression was sinister as she flew into the center of the Ten Thousand Sages Hall.

"The Ten Thousand Sages Hall is mine now!" The woman cackled. Black qi covered all of the steles, "Writings of the Huainan Masters, all barbarians unite!"

Everyone looked at each other, unsure of how to proceed.

Li Liangyi's tone sank: "Your Majesty Mian, will you just let Tuoba Tao steal the Ten Thousand Sages Hall?"

"Where has Zhu Yuanzhang gone, can it be that you killed her?" Su Mian asked in amazement. She appeared to not care about the Ten Thousand Sages Hall at all. She wanted only to dispatch the scourge Zhu Yuanzhang as quickly as possible.

"Was Zhu Yuanzhang not at the Great Ming Palace?" Dongzi asked in astonishment.

The others showed their surprise.

At this time. Li Cunxu and the others killed the last of the Brocade Uniform Guard. The Lord Overseeing All Under Heaven wrinkled her brow and looked to Su Mian.

"Not good, Zhu Yuanzhang left the Ten Thousand Sages behind and fled. She must have gone to refine the Great Ming. Everyone, we must hurry and search all of the Sun And Moon Star Kingdom's Star Fields. We absolutely cannot allow Zhu Yuanzhang to have her way." Su Mian promptly ordered.

"Your Majesty!!" Li Shimin's tone sank, shaking like thunder.

"Liangyi, what is the matter.?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty will allow Tuoba Tao to steal the Ten Thousand Sages Hall?" Li Liangyi was unable to tolerate this.

"No need to worry. The Ten Thousand Sages Hall is a Universe Eternity Spirit Treasure. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the Great Ming to control it. Tuoba Tao is simply wasting her own Star Energy like this, completely senseless. Right now, we should find the hidden Zhu Yuanzhang." Su Mian disagreed.

Li Shimin apathetically stared at Tuoba Tao.

The Eight Pillars Kingdom and the twelve great generals defended around the Buddha-killing Monster. They were filled with vigilance and hostility for anyone not of the Xianbei Star Kingdom.

THe others showed strange expressions when they heard Su Mian's words.

A Universe Eternity Spirit Treasure was right in front of them, yet this Dream In A Millennium was surprisingly not moved in the least. Even if it was very difficult to refine, if they were successful, then they would become the next Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Heavenly Khan!" Zhangsun Wuji showed a worried expression.

Tuoba Tao continued to refine the steles, her black qi practically covering the Ten Thousand Sages Hall.

"If this wicked woman obtains the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, that will be dangerous." Zhangsun Wuji clenched her fist tightly.

Li Shimin naturally knew that Tuoba Tao had the sinister intention of "destroying Buddhism." The greatest feat of her life was not the pursuit of the unification of Star World, but rather the destruction of a sect of Buddhism. Besides, she was Tuoba Tao's greatest enemy. Similarly, Li Shimin was very discontent with Tuoba Tao.

The two were great Star Kingdoms. The Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom as a whole was higher than the Xianbei Star Kingdom. However, this time, Li Shimin was subjugating Zhu Yuanzhang without her three law protectors. The Lingyan Pavilion's Twenty-four Meritorious Officials did not holy a significant advantage against Tuoba Tao's Eight Pillars Kingdom and the Fubing Twelve Generals.

"Elder Sister, Her Majesty Su Mian does not care about this. Why not let us seize the chance to eliminate Tuoba Tao!!" Holy Divine Empress Wu Zhao said.

"Tuoba Tao, quickly renounce the Ten Thousand Sages Hall. Otherwise, We will not be polite." Li Shimin shouted.

This shocked everyone.

Tuoba Tao was completely unafraid. The evil woman wore a triumphant grin: "If you kill me, then you must pay the price. Why not heed Her Majesty's words. I am just wasting Star Energy, you can just watch from the side, Li Liangyi."

Saying this, Tuoba Tao did not care either. She fired Purple Rose Qi into the steles. She need only find the gaps left by Zhu Yuanzhang, and control would not be difficult. Generally speaking, this was an impossible feat, but fortunately, someone had informed her of the gap – the Writings of the Huainan Masters!

The black qi grew more and more concentrated, more and more dense.

As if the entire Ten Thousand Sages Hall was dyed black.

Li Liangyi looked at Su Mian again. Dream In A Millennium was completely focused on dispatching people to search for Zhu Yuanzhang's true body. She could not be bothered to mind this at all.

"You seek your own doom!" Li Shimin's face was like frost, her every word ice-cold like a harsh winter freezing the world.

"Kill her!"
