Maiden Galaxy

Chapter 527: Like Seeing An Old Friend



Purple Cypress Divine Tree. Purple qi wafted about, concealing the nine firmaments.

Ever since the Purple Cypress Divine Tree's fruit had ripened, the vast Mount Hua was already covered in skyrocketing purple light such that the entire Western Lin Star Field could see it. Chen Tuan meditated under the tree, a glowing diagram below her. Depicted on it were Bagua patterns, Five Qi Origin Return, the "gate of the black ox, reverse to circle' and other mysteries. This was one of Ancestor Chen Tuan's Three Great Diagrams, the "Without Ultimate Diagram," and it was also the most profound. This diagram practiced a path of longevity that tempered energy to restore the mind and cultivated the mind to return to nothingness. It could prolong a Star General's Star Fate and could also rapidly recover wounds. However, this Without Ultimate Diagram was too complex. Even after the "Sleeping Fairy" had researched it for six or seven centuries, she still did not reach a Realm of proficiency. The result was a considerable decline in output.

Although she was heavily injured in the battle for Mount Hua, Xiyi still maintained her sage-like indifference.

From her external appearance, she did not seem that weak right now.

Chen Mo pointed a finger. A ray of Without Ultimate True Qi entered Ancestor Chen Tuan's Without Ultimate Diagram, and once this True Qi was inside, like rain after a long drought, the Without Ultimate Diagram savored the True Qi's nourishment. Then, the diagram became even more complex.

Without Ultimate True Qi was originally the apex True Qi that combined Daoism and the Book Of Changes, and it perfectly filled in the last missing bit of the Without Ultimate Diagram.

The diagram transformed once more, suddenly revealing the meaning of "refine the mind to return to nothingness, return to the Without Ultimate."

The Without Ultimate Diagram was complete, and its light surged. The girl issued a soft groan and was wrapped in the light of the Without Ultimate, quickly mending her internal injuries.

Chen Xian'er opened her eyes: "Chen Mo."

"Ancestor Xian'er." Chen Mo respectfully greeted her.

"Mount Hua is truly in your debt this time." The girl kindly smiled.

"Disciple did as he should have." Chen Mo looked at her: "Are the Ancestor's wounds better now?"

"En." Chen Xian'er said: "I sought you out this time because I have something to tell you."

"Xian'er, please, speak."

"Soon, you and Zhao Kuangyin will be summoned by the master of Central to the Central Star Field. When you go this time, Star World's predestiny will be fixed in place once again, something treacherous." Chen Xian'er looked at the fruit on the Purple Cypress Divine Tree: "The Purple Cypress Divine Fruit has been forced to maturation by someone. Or perhaps this is Heaven's will. I shall bestow this Divine Fruit upon you to turn misfortune into blessing."

"The Ancestor wants to give the Divine Fruit to me?" Chen Mo promptly shook his head: "Disciple has joined Mount Hua for hardly a few years. Your Servant's qualifications are lacking. Great Senior Sister, Law Protector Gao, or even Senior Sister Ling'er all have better qualifications to possess the Divine Fruit. The Purple Cypress Divine Fruit is Mount Hua's greatest treasure. Even Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows Fu Jian coveted it especially.

"You need not refuse the Ancestor's good intentions." A grave and stern voice spoke. Gao Shanxue stepped forward. She first greeted Chen Tuan, then she said: "The Purple Cypress Divine Fruit has matured and is an unknown variable to Mount Hua as long as it remains here. Now that Xiang Yu has been born, it is difficult to say there will not be more trouble."

Chen Mo wanted to speak, but Gao Shanxue waved him off, "Do not refuse."

Chen Mo could say nothing more.

Chen Tuan beckoned for Chen Mo to enter the Without Ultimate Diagram and sit opposite of her. They locked eyes, and their clear eyes reflected each other's silhouettes. Chen Mo remembered an experiment on television from his previous life that made some intimate couple stare at one another. After a minute, they were able to enter deepest thoughts of their counterpart and could not help but have red-rimmed eyes. Chen Mo at once was very affected, but the girl's heart was like a pure and untainted valley, containing only Heaven and Earth.

Let alone red-rimmed eyes, even a blushing face could never possibly happen to Chen Xian'er.

The Sleeping Fairy pointed a finger, and the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit fell between them.

A clump of qi wrapped around the Divine Fruit, and the Without Ultimate Diagram emitted divine light. The Purple Cypress Divine Fruit entered Chen Mo's eye like a grain of sand visible to the naked eye. Chen Mo only felt that his eyes had entered an endless darkness, and the outside world became entirely imperceptible.

"Some people has come. Go entertain them nicely."

"As you command."

Gao Siji obeyed and descended the mountain holding her Four Seasons Spear.

Mount Hua main gate.

Yu Juluo, Yang Su, and the others were currently in a standoff outside the gate. A group of people had invaded the mountain, and their leader was a girl in armor. She was stern and overbearing, a glare from her sufficient to scare one witless. While Yu Juluo had the Double Pupils, the girl had Triple Pupils, which were far more terrifying.

"This Hegemon King heard Mount Hua bore a Divine Fruit and came specifically to see it."

"Hegemon King Xiang Yu!!"

The color drained from everyone's faces.

They had just escaped the encirclement of two great Star Marquis. No one imagined they would encounter an even more powerful enemy so soon.

Ever since Hegemon King Of Western Chu Xiang Yu was born, it was reported that she had killed many Star Marquis, including the Buddha-killing Ghost. In Star World, she was akin to a peerless existence, such that Dream In A Millennium even called for a Feng and Shan Sacrifice to face her.

"The Great King has recently experienced discomfort in her eyes. We heard that Mount Hua has the cure." A well-groomed and advisor-like woman stepped forward. "We would like to borrow it."

Against the Hegemon King who had just killed a number of great Star Marquis and even bested the formidable Ancestral Dragon a thousand years prior, everyone present was suppressed by her air. Even breathing felt very challenging. Fortunately, Gao Shanxue arrived at this time.

"The rest of you return to the main hall for the time being." Gao Shanxue ordered.

Yu Juluo and the others retreated.

"You must be the headmaster?"

"Hegemon King, Mount Hua seems to be preparing to use the Divine Fruit for themselves." Fan Zeng saw the feeble purple qi and immediately realized what was happening. Gao Shanxue did not utter a word. She brandished the Four Seasons Spear, attacking with Four Seasons Cycle. The spear-light became the cyclical scenes of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, forcing the woman back.

Then, Mount Hua and its gates shut tight. The formation had activated.

"Is this the way Mount Hua treats its guests? This is too rude. The Great King has been but very sincere." Fan Zeng shook her head.

The girl snorted. Her Triple Pupils spun, and she pounded the gate.

The entirety of Mount Hua quaked. The Five Moons Formation was suddenly on the verge of collapse.

"Sister Shanxue, what do we do?" Everyone was on edge. The chain of troubles these past few days had left them weary and exhausted. This time, they actually attracted the Xiang Yu that even the Central Star Field feared.

"Xiang YU only wants the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit. Maybe we should just hand it over." Mi Fu gulped.

"The Ancestor has already given the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit to Junior Brother Chen Mo." Gao Shanxue was expressionless.

The gate rumbled with an enormous boom. Even the Five Moons Formation was unable to stop the Hegemon King Of Western Chu's divine might.

"Rumor has it that the Hegemon King Of Western Chu took advantage of the mutual conflict between Li Shimin and Tuoba Tao to kill the latter. Her Star Name is far too powerful. Not even we are a match for her." Xiao Mohe calmly analyzed. "It would be better for us to stall until His Highness completely consumes the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit."

"Right."

Yang Su and Yu Juluo both concurred. Without their knowing, the women had treated Chen Mo as a mountain they could lean upon. Against the invincible Hegemon King who struck fear into all of Star World, everyone remained calm, as if everything would be solved as long as Chen Mo was around.

Hardly had they spoken when the formation shattered.

The heavy mountain gates slammed open, and an ice-cold spear light split the door in two.

A peerlessly breathtaking figure stood before everyone.

Chen Qinghan gripped her spear, cool as ice, as she stared at Xiang Yu and the rest.

"Hm?" Zhongli Mo was slightly taken aback to see Chen Qinghan.

"Mount Hua's treatment of its guests is most unfriendly. The Hegemon King has heard that Mount Hua suffered misfortune, yet the Great King did not rudely barge in. So long as she can see the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit, we will not cause you trouble." Fan Zeng continued.

"Many apologies. The Purple Cypress Divine Fruit has already been consumed by my Mo'er. If you would like to see one, you will need to wait." Chen Qinghan did not fear the Hegemon King's domineering aura at all.

"Your Mo'er? Do not jest. How can something the likes of the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit be given to a man to ingest." Fan Zeng laughed.

That surging purple light weakened to the extreme, "I will see it right now." Xiang Yu threw a punch.

Chen Qinghan blocked it with her spear, activating the Invincible Innate Skill.

At this moment, Long Ju and the rest were about make their moves.

"Great King said to not invade. Forget about it." Zhongli Sanmei urged them to stop.

Everyone was a bit perplexed, but seeing Xiang Yu apparently did not have the intent to issue a command, they abandoned the thought.

Meanwhile, Chen Qinghan blocked the punch, and her figure was knocked staggering backwards. Then, she stuck her spear into the spear. The girl's body was covered in ice-qi. She honestly had icy skin and jade bones, the cold as pervasive as frost. The qi of the cold ice suddenly surged from the ground. An ice-cold flame that seemed to come from the nine hells gathered into a clump that cleaved towards Xiang Yu.

A cold bitter to the bone, sad and unfathomable, became stunning divine light of hell.

This killing intent of this Phoenix Earth Rank, the "Awakened Resentment Of Hell," unleashed the might of gods and demons.

Even Xiang Yu felt goosebumps and cried out, "Truly splendid!" The girl raised the Heavenly Dragon City Breaker Spear and directly attacked the Phoenix Earth Rank. Her tyrannical power crushed the cosmos, and the cold-qi and spear-light were extinguished.

"All of you, attack. You had best send Me the Divine Fruit if you lose." Xiang Yu grinned, revealing her pearly white teeth.

Countless Earth Ranks swarmed over.

Break.

Break.

Break.

Sonic booms echoed through Mount Hua, and wind blew down the trees.

Even Gao Shanxue was among those whose power was outmatched. Their wounds were not even healed yet, so using Earth Rank was very taxing on them and proved inadequate against Xiang Yu's crushing might. "You are too weak, this is boring." Xiang Yu lost interest and swept her spear towards Chen Qinghan's neck.

Just at this moment a Dark Yellow arrow broke through space and time to strike the spear. The arrow-qi contained terrifying strength capable of shattering supreme power and scored a hit on the Heavenly Dragon City Breaker Spear's weakest point. Xiang Yu was a bit overwhelmed, and this arrow forced her to terminate her attack.

The girl wrinkled her brow and spotted the archer faraway.

A man in white clothes stepped down on a cool breeze, his vigor surging, his style suave.

Upon seeing this man, even the arrogant Hegemon King's heart was thrown into great disarray.

She had never wanted to see this man ever again.

Chen Mo faintly grinned.

"Xiang Yu, long have I heard your name."

Xiang Yu gawked.

"Your Highness!"

"Mo'er."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have troubled you." Chen Mo stood in front of them.

Fan Zeng stared at this man in bewilderment. She did not understand why when this man appeared, these first-rate Star Names and great generals actually seemed to have found their savior. This was honestly too confounding. Could it be they thought this man could face the Hegemon King Of Western Chu.

"They say a man defeated a True Phoenix Realm Star General at the Mount Hua martial arts competition. Would that be you?" Fan Zeng sized Chen Mo up. His appearance was quite impeccable. Though his figure was not robust, but he had an indomitable feeling about him. Upon closer inspection, he unexpectedly had qi that could watch over Heaven and Earth. Indeed, he was quite the source of comfort.

"Your Servant is Chen Mo, disciple of Mount Hua." Chen Mo courteously said.

"You ingested the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit?" Xiang Yu had been quiet for a while.

"Indeed."

Chen Mo's gaze focused. His eyes were like stars, purple light swirling in his pupils, becoming a galaxy. As if producing lightning, these eyes contained the spiritual power of Heaven and the mystery of the stars. No one else in the world could possibly possess such god-like and certain eyes that eclipsed even time. 

Xiang Yu was shocked in her heart, and she had an epiphany.

Dammit.

She was actually shocked.
