Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

"Brother Su?!"

A slightly trembling voice came from his side.

Su Chen turned his head away.

A familiar figure was staring at him with wide eyes.

It is Chiling.

Since their parting outside the auction house that day, Su Chen hadn't seen this person for quite some time.

"It's you."

Su Chen nodded.

Chi Ling was completely stunned at that moment.

His eyes scanned Su Chen from head to toe, and his lips trembled for a long time before he finally managed to utter a single sentence.

"Brother Su...you..."

"It's only been a few days!"

"How... how did you become a deity?!"

His shout startled the wandering cultivators at the nearby stalls, who all turned to look.

Chi Ling then realized what was happening, hurriedly lowered his voice, and came closer.

"No, no, that's not right."

"Now, I must call you senior."

A fawning smile spread across his face.

"No need."

"We've known each other for a while, why be so formal?"

"Just call me Brother Su."

Su Chen waved his hand.

Chi Ling was wringing his hands, unsure of what to say.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a figure in pure white behind Su Chen.

That female cultivator was truly exceptionally beautiful.

His demeanor was truly extraordinary.

Chi Ling's ability to read people is top-notch.

He immediately made up his mind.

"Ouch, Brother Chen!"

Chi Ling moved even closer, speaking in a low voice with a sly grin on his face.

"Your taste is truly impeccable."

"That spirit slave before was an exceptional one, one in a million."

"What's going on? Another one?"

"You..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

A chilling pressure suddenly descended upon him without warning.

"I am a late-stage Star Luo Divine Transformation cultivator."

Yao Ji's clear, cold voice came from behind her.

"You dare utter another single arrogant word?"

Stars and constellations.

Late stage of Nascent Soul transformation.

worship.

These words were like three thunderclaps.

Chi Ling felt his legs go weak and swallowed his words.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

"A huge misunderstanding!"

"This junior was blind; this junior deserves to die!"

This guy's head was practically buried in his crotch at that moment.

"Alright."

Su Chen patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's find a place to sit down and have a cup of tea."

...

The teahouse faced the street, and next to the private seating area on the second floor, there was a half-open window.

The sounds of the market downstairs drifted up from there.

Su Chen found a seat by the window and sat down.

Chi Ling stood below, wearing a smiling face.

As for Yao Ji...

She originally did not want to be involved in this mundane world.

However, he could not disobey his master's orders, so he could only find a spot as far away from Su Chen as possible, hold a cup of tea, and adopt a distant and unapproachable demeanor.

The waiter at the teahouse was a junior cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Perhaps it was the first time he had entertained such distinguished guests, because his hands were trembling slightly.

When serving the tea, I almost knocked the teacup over.

"Speaking of which..."

"Brother Chen, you've made the right choice coming to Tian Shu Star City this time."

"I've recently had an incredible stroke of luck."

Chi Ling rubbed his hands together.

Oh?

"What opportunity?"

Su Chen asked casually.

"Star Remains Ruins"

"I accidentally obtained a map that leads to the ruins of that star."

"Brother Chen, you are unaware of this."

"That stellar ruins is said to be the remains of an ancient star god that fell from the sky."

At that moment, Chi Ling muttered to himself.

"Star God?"

Yao Ji, who had been silent, suddenly stopped holding her teacup.

What a joke! The so-called Star God is an being that can control a cultivation star.

Generally, cultivators who have mastered the Void Refinement stage advance to the Body Integration stage.

The realm of fusion is already a legendary existence in the Xuanhuang Continent, and no one has ever seen it.

Only those who reach the God-King realm beyond the Integration stage are entitled to the title of Star God.

Is this kid sure he's serious?

"yes...."

"The Star Debris Ruins are located in a void rift in the far west of the Azure Nether Realm."

"It was formed from the shattered core remnants of an ancient star god when it fell."

"The interior of those ruins is a world unto itself."

"Inside, there are countless fragments of chaotic laws, as well as the remaining memories of the Star God."

Star God's Remains?

Fragments of the Laws!!!

"How is that possible?"

"If that is truly a relic of the Star God."

"That means this is the remnant of a star."

"It was left behind by an ancient cultivator who even Void Refinement cultivators have to look up to."

"I think it's mostly just hearsay and rumors circulating in the streets."

Yao Ji, standing to the side, frowned and spoke coldly.

These words were spoken without any politeness.

Chi Ling was speechless for a moment, and dared not refute him.

Su Chen laughed.

"That sounds quite interesting."

"Whether it's a rumor or the truth, it doesn't matter."

Su Chen put down his teacup.

to be frank.

Su Chen didn't take the rumor too seriously.

The remains of a star god—that sounds rather far-fetched.

But there was Yao Ji watching him from the side.

These past few days, I can't shake it off no matter where I go.

Being stared at like that made Su Chen extremely uncomfortable.

Since we have to wait for Mi Luo to verify the information, we're just waiting anyway.

Instead, find an excuse to go out and clear your head.

Incidentally, we can also take a look at what those Star Remains Ruins are all about.

"Red Ridge".

Su Chen tapped on the table.

"How many people are you planning to go with?"

Upon hearing Su Chen's tone, Chi Ling immediately beamed with joy.

"In reply to Brother Chen, I originally invited a few familiar fellow Daoists."

"That place is dangerous. With my meager skills, I dare not go alone."

He leaned closer, his face full of anticipation.

"Brother Chen, if you would do me the honor of coming along, please do me the honor of coming with you."

"Then I can finally feel more confident!"

With you, this great Buddha, presiding over things.

Let alone the ruins of star remains.

Even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, I, Chiling, dare to venture in.

Chiling didn't dare say the second half of that sentence.

But the meaning was clearly written on his face.

"Fine."

Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Since I have nothing else to do, I'll go with you."

These words were spoken.

Chi Ling was so happy he almost jumped off his chair.

However, Yao Ji, who had been observing coldly, suddenly turned pale.

"You're going to that planetary ruins?"

She put down her teacup, her voice tinged with displeasure.

"No, it won't work."

Su Chen turned his head and looked at her with a half-smile.

"What? You think you can stop me from offering sacrifices to Yao Ji?"

Yao Ji was choked by his words, and the little bit of air in her chest felt suffocating.

She had no desire to go with this kid to that godforsaken place.

She is currently at a crucial juncture in her cultivation.

That Star Shattering Divine Power was about to enter a new realm.

At this critical juncture, we should be closing ourselves off and focusing solely on the attack.

Unfortunately, her master assigned her the task of keeping watch.

Wherever she goes, you have to follow.

"you..."

Yao Ji stared at Su Chen's calm and composed demeanor, her teeth practically grinding to powder.

hateful!

No matter how you look at it, it seems like this kid in front of me is destined to bring me bad luck.

Even though he was the one who came to keep an eye on this kid, he felt like he was being controlled by him instead!
