Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 750 - 671: Husband, why aren’t you speaking anymore?

Outside the Ancient Shang.

The starry sky is mysterious.

Countless eons ago, it was the Immortal Qin Era when Qin Zhen set up the Celestial Cycle Star Formation within the Immortal Qin Realm. However, as the 'Post Xianqin Era,' 'Immortal Han Empire Era,' 'Dark Age,' and 'Heavenly Court Era' unfolded, incessant great wars shattered the starry heavens.

The Celestial Cycle Star Formation fragmented.

It enveloped each continent separately, severing their connections henceforth.

Thus,

hidden within the starry sky, even Earth Immortals found it difficult to comprehend, prompting them to cultivate and seek enlightenment among the stars.

Lu Qingfeng, in charge of the ferocious formation, commanded the starry heavens.

He instantly realized—

Within the nine layers of space divided by the Celestial Cycle Star Formation, Earth Immortals meditated among the stars.

Some cultivating Great Methods, others understanding the formation.

As only the First Level of the star space can be contemplated and it's such a supremely mysterious top-tier formation like the Celestial Cycle Star Formation, even millions or tens of millions of years spent in contemplation may still yield only a fraction of its essence.

Perhaps they could slightly enhance their Dao ability.

Or comprehend a few layers of Great Methods.

But to fully understand the Celestial Cycle Star Formation and master all nine layers of star space outside the Immortal Qin Realm is utterly impossible.

Therefore,

over the years, the formation in the Immortal Qin Realm merely operated on its own.

Lu Qingfeng was different.

He possessed the 'Enlightenment' Great Method, the 'Point Transformation' Great Method, and Derivation Enhancement.

In just a thousand years, he not only completely grasped the Celestial Cycle Star Formation controlled by others in the Star Sea Realm, but also advanced the original incomplete formation to a more complete and mysterious version.

In terms of understanding and mastery of this formation, he far exceeded Qin Zhen.

At this moment,

as stars moved, the formation had its master.

Originally cultivating and comprehending within the starry sky, both Earth Immortals and some True Immortals felt the stir.

They sensed the stars shift, became disoriented and trapped within. Neither the exit above the starry sky nor the path below was visible.

All were greatly shocked.

Lu Qingfeng paid no mind to the other eight layers of star space.

His gaze turned to the Ancient Shang star space.

His eyes settled upon a dark shadow in the south and a mass of sword light in the north.

"It's them," Lu Qingfeng chuckled.

Next to that sword light, a slim and enchanting figure suddenly stood up, her Sword Intent soaring to the skies, her wary gaze scanning, despite being a True Immortal, she was also an acquaintance of Lu Qingfeng.

"What's wrong?" asked Ao Le, seeing Lu Qingfeng appear distracted.

"I've seen the Tongling Great Saint and Bai Changqing," Lu Qingfeng casually replied, a nostalgic look in his eyes.

Tongling Great Saint.

Bai Changqing.

To speak of them, they were among the few Earth Immortals he first encountered.

The former, 'Tongling Great Saint',

was the Earth Immortal Ancestor Master from the South Sea's Tongling Wujimen, one of the top-tier demons in the Ancient Shang Region, with his Six Desires Red Dust Divine Power that excelled in manipulating hearts.

His Great Method was unpredictable.

Ordinary Earth Immortals facing him could easily slip up, their minds ensnared.

Though not fatal, under the control of Six Desires Red Dust, shameful deeds were inevitable, resulting in a loss of dignity.

The latter, 'Bai Changqing', was also a name to be reckoned with.

He was the Earth Immortal Ancestor Master of the Jiuzhen Immortal Sword Sect from the North Sea Jiu Zhen Domain and the only remaining Earth Immortal after the demise of the One Yuan Ancestor.

If we were to delve deeper,

both had significant grudges with Lu Qingfeng.

Back then, as unfathomable as the sky and the abyss, truly invincible.

An utter despair.

Now they meet again.

He sees through them at a glance.

They no longer capture the interest of Lu Qingfeng.

Times change, and so wondrously at that.

"It's these two," Ao Le, who resided within Ancient Shang, was naturally familiar with its Earth Immortals. Hearing this, she looked at Lu Qingfeng: "Now that you've returned, how do you plan to deal with them?"

It's a question that cannot be avoided.

With significant enmities of the past, it would've been fine had Lu Qingfeng died. But now that he has returned, Ao Le knows that, given her husband's nature, he would surely settle the score.

"Revenge for those who are owed it."

"And grievances to be aired."

Lu Qingfeng pointed to the south, saying, "This 'Tongling Great Saint' once sought to thwart my integration of the Three Treasures and wanted to kill me. Naturally, I won't let such enmity go."

Back then, he stole the three Supreme Treasures from the Three Great Dragon Palaces, aiming to fuse them into a Spiritual Treasure within the Blood Sea to aid Ao Le's cultivation into an Earth Immortal.

Earth Immortals from all directions came to stop him,

including the Tongling Great Saint.

That old demon's 'Red Desire Bag' was extremely malicious.

If not for Lu Qingfeng's 'Five-Colored Divine Light' that brushes aside all, and if not for the Dragon Ancestors also keen to stir the waters and block interference,

perhaps before the Spiritual Treasure could be completed, Lu Qingfeng would have perished in the Blood Sea.

There would've been no chance to use the 'Buddhist Sect's Little Wheel Three Ride Marvelous Forms Transformation Birth Method' to help Ao Le attain Earth Immortality.

Now that he has returned, how could he forgive him?!

"I knew my husband wouldn't let it rest."

Ao Le laughed gleefully, for even after a separation of fifty to sixty thousand years, her husband remained as unyielding as ever.

"It seems Le'er has some misconceptions about me."

Hearing this, Lu Qingfeng was about to touch his nose, then realised the gesture was unappealing and instead pinched a magical formula, controlling the stars, "Watch how formidable your husband is!"

With a single thought,

the stars conspired.

Within the Ancient Shang star space.

In the south,

an old man dressed in emerald green robes, lively and spirited, was now frowning, dashing through the starry sky like a headless fly.

It was the Tongling Great Saint.

"How odd!"

Tongling Great Saint's brow furrowed, a sense of foreboding rising within him. As an Earth Immortal, to lose direction and be unable to escape the starry space was truly strange.

Suddenly,

this top-tier demon from Ancient Shang heard something and darted in a direction.

He saw fleets of Immortal Ships vast as the sky and flaunting their banners, appearing amidst the stars.

"Whence cometh these troops?!"

Tongling Great Saint rushed forward to capture a few commanders to interrogate.

But he saw the Immortal Ships firing all at once, seeking to obliterate him.

"How dare you!"

Tongling Great Saint instantly exploded with rage, snatching a blood-red bag about a foot long from his waist. He tossed it into the air, and it instantly grew to the size of an acre, looking from below like a blossoming red cloud.

As the blood-red bag caught the wind, it swelled enormously, emanating waves of pinkish aura. The pink seemed pure at a glance, yet concealed filth and was co-mingled with the sinister energy of the Six Desires, causing anyone who looked to feel their state of mind waver.

This was no ordinary object.

It was the Supreme Treasure refined by the Tongling Great Saint himself, the 'Red Desire Bag'!

With the magical treasure deployed.

It tore through the Immortal Qin Army's fleet amidst the stars, obliterating dozens of warships in an instant.

The might of an Earth Immortal.

Was not to be underestimated?!

If they could take command over the stars, this million-strong army could dare to battle even a Heavenly Immortal.

But where was the formation for them to control at this moment?

They suffered heavy losses right then and there.

However, the Immortal Qin Army was unending.

In no time at all.

Three million six hundred and fifty thousand soldiers of the Immortal Qin Army, along with three thousand six hundred Immortal Ships, all entered the starry sky.

Tongling Great Saint suddenly found it a bit overwhelming.

At this critical moment.

"Ha ha!"

"Been waiting a long time for this!"

A hearty laugh echoed across the stars, reverberating in all directions.

"Is this—"

After many years, even Tongling Great Saint couldn't recall the voice of the 'Guangyuan Divine Monarch' from days gone by, but as the voice spread through the stars and the void trembled, it still made his hair stand on end and set off alarms in his heart!

He was about to move.

When he abruptly felt the starry sky shake.

The billions of stars, nearly motionless before, began to revolve suddenly.

Boom, boom, boom!

Stars fell into chaos, the cosmos grinding like a millstone.

Targeting the Immortal Ships, they smashed down, reducing everything in sight to dust in a blink.

In just an instant.

Countless unknown Immortal Ships were lost, their formation shattered, collapsing without resistance!

"Not good!"

"My life is over!"

Tongling Great Saint, at the center of it all.

His face underwent a drastic change.

With no time to escape or dodge, powerless against what was coming, he watched as stars grew nearer and larger, until he was smashed by nine great stars and plummeted deeper into the starry abyss!

In the midst of the stars.

"Is this the true face of the starry formation?!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Bai Changqing protected Su Mu.

The two watched a million-strong force collapse in a single day, watched Tongling Great Saint plummet with nine stars, unsure of life or death, too shocked for words. All they could sense was that the starry realm they pondered for years had changed its form, from a dormant divine beast into a bloodthirsty monster.

An Earth Immortal would be terrified!

While on guard.

Another roar emerged from beyond the starry sky, shaking the cosmos—

"How dare you deceive me?!"

Qin Zhen was like a madman, a witness to the Celestial Cycle Star Formation turning before his eyes, seeing the three million six hundred and fifty thousand-strong army perish in the stars.

How could he not realize that the Celestial Cycle Star Formation, which he thought was secure in his grasp, was now controlled by another, lying in wait for his Immortal Qin forces to walk into a trap, set to annihilate them all.

In a fury.

Seething with rage.

"Wah!"

He spat out a mouthful of heart's blood, his appearance growing even more frenzied!

...

"This matter is concluded."

"Let's go back."

Having temporarily subdued Tongling Great Saint, trapped Bai Changqing for the moment, and reduced the three million six hundred and fifty thousand-strong Immortal Qin Army to ashes, Lu Qingfeng saw Ao Le's shock and burst into laughter, "Now you know how formidable your husband is?"

With control over the Celestial Cycle Star Formation.

Lu Qingfeng was naturally in an invincible position.

Within and outside Ancient Shang.

Even Qin Zhen would likely pose no threat to him.

"That Tongling Great Saint—"

Ao Le was indeed startled.

She gazed towards the location where Tongling Great Saint was struck down by the stars, curious about the fate of this Earth Immortal.

"It's too cheap a death for him if the stars simply crushed him."

"First, suppress him."

"He has his uses."

Lu Qingfeng played coy, while Ao Le didn't mind and her eyes sparkled with anticipation, "With my husband's return, it's time for Ancient Shang to change hands!"

She then suppressed Tongling Great Saint with a wave of her hand.

Even Ao Le couldn't fathom the extent of that power.

Her heart was immediately relieved.

Although she had never voiced it, she had concerns that Lu Qingfeng's return to Ancient Shang would be fraught with difficulties due to his obsession with vengeance. But now, all her worries vanished—

"The three Dragon Ancestors are so arrogant. I personally went to borrow the 'Dragon Transformation Pond' to help Xiao'er and Yao'er break through to True Immortal, even trying to get a spot for Ao Jun, and was refused."

"Now that my husband is back, don't go easy on them!"

Waiting for Lu Qingfeng, Ao Le remained in Fu Long Mountain, losing interest in all else.

Now with her husband returned.

And seeing Lu Qingfeng's overwhelming strength, Ao Le began to recall these years and the many events of the past.

When near cinnabar, one becomes red.

She clearly wasn't one to forgive and forget either.

"Precisely my intention!"

Lu Qingfeng laughed heartily.

The couple didn't linger in the stars.

Lu Qingfeng asked Ao Le about the changes in the Ancient Shang Region over the years, and not in a hurry, they slowly made their way back to Fu Long Mountain.

On their way back.

There was another voice that resonated in the stars, leaving a trace in the clouds—

"By the way, in the starry sky just now, 'Little Sword Immortal' Su Mu was right beside Bai Changqing. Aren't you going to see her, my husband?"

"I killed her master; what's there to see?"

"Su Mu has been heartbroken over Luo Fuzi for a long time, hiding in the stars for many years without coming out. It's a deep and pitiable attachment."

"..."

"Why aren't you speaking?"

"My husband?"

"My husband?"

...
