Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1656 The Astrological Palace

On the sea.

As the two elders from the Protectorate Hall departed, Li Qing's gaze fell upon a simple, ancient blue token floating in front of him.

The token is engraved with a pattern of a boundless ocean, and countless blurry figures of human cultivators gather together to support a blue celestial palace hall marked with the word 'Guardian'.

Joining the Guardian Hall was completely unexpected for him.

He never expected that he would encounter the people of the Protectorate Hall on this trip.

"In any case, this is a good thing for me!"

Joining the Guardian Hall means that he has now truly become a member of the Star Sea Human Race's high-ranking members. He will be informed of any future changes immediately, including the will of the extraterrestrial humans.

For example, during the revival of the demonic path back then, the Guardian Hall directly transmitted the orders from above.

"Lord of the Sea!"

At this moment, Li Qing couldn't help but think of that Divine Transformation True Venerable who sat high above the Star Sea World, ruling over the entire world.

Perhaps at some point in the future, he will see the true face of that sea lord.

The only thing that is hard to predict is what kind of relationship the two sides will have in the future.

This is also what Li Qing is wary of.

"Thinking about these things now is still a bit far off. Once I reach the Great Cultivator realm, with the blessing of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, as long as I'm careful, I won't need to worry about the Sea Palace lineage."

In an instant, Li Qing once again descended towards the forbidden spirit island below.

At this moment, Yan Yingjun also stood up excitedly to greet him.

"Senior brother, I have discovered the secret hidden within the inherited golden eyes!"

"The Heavenly Qian Sect inheritance I am currently cultivating is only a branch of the true inheritance. With the revival of the Golden Eye of Inheritance, I have already mastered the entire core inheritance of the Heavenly Qian Sect."

Yan Yingjun revealed all the secrets he had discovered without any reservations, and without any worries whatsoever.

After all, this senior brother's level had already far surpassed his, and he wouldn't covet the opportunities of the inheritance he was cultivating.

"Just as my senior brother predicted, the sect is worried that we might acquire higher-level barrier-breaking power while our cultivation is still low, thus allowing us to enter even more dangerous places. The barrier-breaking methods of the core inheritance are far more powerful than the methods I cultivated before."

Yan Yingjun chuckled: "If it weren't for the crisis in the Feather World, I'm afraid the Golden Eye of Inheritance wouldn't have been forcibly revived, and I wouldn't have been able to access the true core inheritance ahead of time."

"In that case, wouldn't Junior Brother be able to advance to the later stage even faster!"

Li Qing smiled faintly.

The reason why Yan Yingjun was recruited back then was because of the uniqueness of his lineage.

Of course, Yan Yingjun did not disappoint him. It was because Yan Yingjun was there that he was able to participate in the Five Spirits Clan's opportunity back then.

"Once I finish cultivating the core inheritance, I will be confident enough to directly break through to the late Nascent Soul stage!"

Yan Yingjun nodded confidently.

"Then congratulations in advance, junior brother! Our sect has finally produced its first Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator!"

A smile appeared on Li Qing's face.

Although Guan Ming has also entered the late stage of the fourth rank, he follows the path of the witch clan, not the path of the immortal cultivators.

Before anyone knew it, the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect was finally starting to resemble a top-tier power.

"Junior brother, why don't you return to the sect and go into seclusion? I still have some matters to attend to."

After parting ways with Yan Yingjun, Li Qing also declined the invitation from Bingtian Sect and headed alone towards the depths of the Inner Star Sea.

Besides rescuing Yan Yingjun, he had another important purpose in entering the Inner Star Sea this time - to visit the Astrological Palace.

"Celestial Envoy!"

The situation of the Astrological Palace came to mind for Li Qing.

Unlike other powerful forces, the Astrology Palace is more like a single lineage, not recruiting disciples or occupying any particular sea or land, and its whereabouts are kept secret.

Besides the head of the Astrology Palace, there are two branches under the Astrology Palace: the Celestial Stars Branch and the Earthly Stars Branch, each with two Star Masters.

The person he contacted, Chen Yanxingzi, was a subordinate of the Heavenly Star Envoy.

Back then, the two branches of the Astrology Palace each presided over the competition for the Heavenly Gang Ranking and Earthly Fiend Ranking in the Yang Star Sea and Yin Star Sea respectively, which shows their power.

A streak of cyan light tore through the sky and accelerated toward a point where the two major seas of the Inner Star Sea met.

A corner of the vast and boundless sea.

Several islands of varying sizes are scattered on the sea, and at first glance, they are inconspicuous.

The sounds of beasts echoed from the depths of the islands, appearing quite jarring in the otherwise tranquil sea.

However, at this very moment...

In the distance, deep within the azure sky, endless silver light began to emanate.

The entire sky was like a giant curtain being slowly drawn back, revealing a deep, dark void, with phantom stars scattered throughout, like a scroll painting of heaven and earth.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Six figures descended from the depths of the illusory stars.

The two leading figures were elderly men wearing Taoist robes printed with mysterious and ancient star patterns, surrounded by flowing mystical runes, exuding endless mystery and elegance.

"That person is almost here!"

The silver-haired old man on the left slowly spoke, "This is the first time our Astrology Palace has ever witnessed such a grand spectacle."

"That person is now hailed as the strongest below the Great Cultivator, so our Astrology Palace naturally cannot neglect him!" The black-haired elder on the right nodded.

"I remember that she was once the woman Chen Yan chose?"

The silver-haired old man's words carried a deeper meaning.

That's all in the past!

The black-haired old man shook his head: "Such beings are far beyond Chen Yan's reach, and even the two of us are not qualified to touch their true destiny."

"Such extraordinary beings, born from the miraculous restoration of heaven and earth, are beyond human influence."

During the conversation between the two star envoys.

A complex look flashed in Chen Yan's eyes as he stood at the back.

Normally, he should have already made in-depth contact with that person, thereby benefiting his own cultivation by leveraging that person's growth momentum.

However, the rise of such a being was too overwhelming, and if he got too close, it would surely backfire on him, so he had long since chosen to give up.

"That person has arrived!"

Just then, at the edge of the desolate sea in the distance, a young figure in a green robe stepped through the air and landed towards the people of the Astrology Palace.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan!"

The two star envoys, each accompanied by two star children, slowly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Greetings to the two Star Envoys. I hope you will not take offense at my abrupt visit!"

Li Qing's gaze swept over the two star envoys.

These two Star Envoys, both at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, exuded a mysterious and profound aura, clearly far surpassing that of ordinary late Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Although it is widely rumored that the Astrology Palace lineage specializes in divination and is not good at direct combat, it is estimated that the true strength of these two Star Envoys is far beyond that of ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul experts.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, you're too kind!"

The black-haired celestial envoy slowly smiled and said, "Countless top forces outside want to invite Fellow Daoist Qingxuan to be their guest."

"It is an honor for us that Fellow Daoist Qingxuan has chosen to visit our Astrology Palace."

During the exchange of pleasantries, Li Qing smiled and looked at the familiar face behind the Celestial Envoy.

"It's been many years, and congratulations to Fellow Daoist Chen Yan on reaching the late Nascent Soul stage!" "Greetings, True Monarch Qingxuan!"

Chen Yan then respectfully took the initiative to bow.

The two are no longer on the same level.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please come inside."

In an instant, endless silver light emanated from the depths of the sky.

Streaks of ethereal silver light, like chains of heaven and earth, slowly pulled open the entire sky.

Li Qing gazed up at the sky.

A dark and deep void gradually came into view.

The phantom images of stars hang within, radiating a mysterious glow. Upon closer inspection, each phantom image of a star is slowly moving along a special trajectory, causing the world that should have been still to flow as well, like a phantom painting of heaven and earth.

"Truly remarkable!"

He then realized that the Astrology Palace's headquarters were not only hidden deep in the void, but were also constantly changing. This sea area was just a passageway to the Astrology Palace.

Simply put, the location of the astrological house is constantly changing, and the next time it opens, it may be in another sea area.

"Is that the dojo of that mysterious astrology master?"

Looking into the distance, one can only see a hazy, silvery little world hidden deep within the mysterious and ethereal stars, as if concealed behind layers of space, only to be observed from afar and not perceived.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan has arrived just in time, and the Palace Master has already awakened!"

Just then, a look of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Celestial Envoy beside him, followed by a smile.

He didn't expect that the Palace Master would also awaken from his slumber because of the arrival of this True Monarch Qingxuan.

"It seems that this True Monarch Qingxuan truly possesses unimaginable divine power behind him, to the point that even the Palace Master values ​​him so highly."

The next moment, the group descended into the depths of that special starry world.

Led by the two star envoys, the group began to travel along a special trajectory through the depths of the void. After each journey, the passage behind them would turn into silver light and quickly disappear.

"It seems there's an unexpected surprise on this trip!"

Li Qing quietly sensed the accelerated passage of space around him, his eyes flickering slightly.

I thought that meeting the two star envoys would be enough for this trip, but I didn't expect that the incredibly mysterious master of the astrological palace would also awaken.

This is naturally a great thing for the purpose of his trip.

"Hopefully, we can find some clues this time, so I won't waste time waiting for help from forces outside the realm."

A moment later.

The group traveled through a slowly flowing silver galaxy and finally arrived at the main camp of the Astrology Palace.

The layout that comes into view is very simple.

In the deep, dark void, four silver palaces floated silently on the outermost edge, undoubtedly the cultivation grounds of the four Star Princes. Behind them were two vast and mysterious silver moons hanging high, and beyond that was the mysterious silver world that Li Qing had seen earlier.

"You four may leave on your own!"

The Celestial Envoy waved his hand: "If the Palace Master wishes to see Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, the two of us will accompany him."

"As ordered!"

The four Star Princes, including Chen Yan, bowed and withdrew.

Li Qing and the two star envoys continued their descent into the small silver world deep within the dark void.

The deeper you go, the faster the surrounding space flows, as if you will be swept into another space at any moment.

call!call!
Just then, the small silver world in the distance began to light up slightly.

Strands of mysterious and vast silver light descended and transformed into a massive silver light curtain, while large swaths of silver light intertwined and condensed into a jade table and a futon.

The next moment, a tall, illusory figure wearing a silver jade crown stepped out from the depths of that silver miniature world.

"Greetings, Palace Master!"

The two celestial messengers bowed in greeting.

"Qingxuan greets the Palace Master!"

Looking at the increasingly clear face of the middle-aged man wearing a silver jade crown, Li Qing felt a sense of admiration.

He had personally witnessed powerful cultivators more than once, and was naturally well aware of the suppression and constraints that the rules of heaven and earth in the sealed land exerted on such powerful individuals.

Even that great cultivator from the Baili family was hiding deep within the array world to cultivate.

And this mysterious Lord of the Astrology Palace appeared in the outside world so simply and calmly. Although it was just an avatar, it was enough to prove that this Lord of the Astrology Palace was extraordinary.

From afar, the figure resembled countless flowing, unique star patterns converging together. Though clearly in front of him, it seemed to have transcended the heavens and earth, unrestrained and as if nothing existed.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, there's no need for such formalities!"

The Palace Master of the Astrology Palace smiled faintly: "Although this is the first time I have met you, young friend, I have long heard of your illustrious reputation."

"You flatter me, Your Highness."

The next moment, the Palace Master of the Astrology Palace descended with a smile towards the silver jade table that had materialized below: "I hope you won't find it offensive, young friend. Please have a seat."

Li Qing and the two star envoys then took their seats on the giant silver screen.

"In fact, I already know the purpose of your visit, young friend!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing stood up and bowed, saying, "I hope the Palace Master can offer some guidance."

The avatar of the Palace Master of the Astrology Palace gently shook his head: "It is difficult for us to directly instruct you, young friend."

"Young friend Qingxuan is a person of great fortune born within the sealed land, bearing the destiny of heaven and earth. How could we possibly offer him guidance so easily!"

"Then, according to the Palace Master's words, how should I seek the opportunities needed for my subsequent cultivation?"

Li Qing naturally understood the hidden meaning in the words of the Palace Master of the Astrology Palace.

"Of course, it depends on you, young friend!"

"Rely on myself?"

Seeing the calm gaze of the Palace Master of the Astrology Palace, Li Qing felt a sense of doubt.

He is not proficient in divination, so how can he know where the next opportunity lies?

"Young friend, don't be hasty!"

The avatar of the Palace Master of the Astrology Palace slowly said, "All we in the Astrology Palace can do is provide you with other prerequisites. As for everything that follows, it has nothing to do with us."

"However, I do have one small request!"

"Please speak, Palace Master. I will do my utmost within my capabilities!"

Li Qing was all too familiar with this kind of direct exchange of benefits.

"This request is something that young friend Qingxuan can easily fulfill!"

The avatar of the Palace Master of the Astrology Palace said solemnly, "After this matter, young friend, we will have no further connection with the Astrology Palace!"

"Our astrological palace also has no desire to have any further contact with you, young friend!"

Upon hearing this, even the two star envoys standing nearby were taken aback.

Li Qing also looked surprised.

He had assumed this would be a trade-off, but he never expected the head of the astrologer's palace to propose such unusual conditions.

"I am willing to comply with the Palace Master's arrangements."
