Maiden Galaxy

Daoist Mind Hall.

Sun Yingmeng and Tan Daoji carried Li Xiao into the hall and put her on a mat. The Spirit Hinge Ice Heart unleashed immortal-spirit qi. The King Of Medicine surveyed Li Su's injuries, her expression increasingly grim.

Li Xiao's breath was thin as a strand of silk, only one gasp left.

Sun Yingmeng stuck her with needles for acupuncture, scolding her in grief: "Xiaoxiao, you really are an idiot. What were you doing facing a Heavenly Star so stupidly like that. As long as I'm with you, you can break through to any Realm."

"Once you're better, This Girl will give you a taste of the Formulas Worth A Thousand Gold's most bitter ‘Rhubarb Monkshood Soup.' You'll also need to eat ‘White Tiger Qi-bearing Soup…'" Sun Yingmeng wept as she pricked. Her Spirit Hinge Ice Hearts were Divine Needles, able to utilize the Medical School's Apricot Forest Qi healing. 

Tan Daoji was nearby listening to the girl's sobs, a bit of jealousy in her eyes.

She knew of the two secret medicinal soups that Sun Simiao just mentioned. The White Tiger Qi-bearing Soup was able to rejuvenate a Star General's marrow, making her attacks brim with destructive power like the Four Symbols White Tiger. This soup required the King Of Medicine's Earth Rank Star Energy to be concocted. Each bowl was worth more than a thousand gold.

However, Tan Daoji was aware that Li Xiao and Sun Yingmeng's relationship was very intimate. Although Sun Yingmeng did not join the Mount Hua Sect, Mount Hua's disciples had already treated her as a friend and obtained Sun Yingmeng's medical care, particularly the reckless Li Su. She often sojourned with Sun Yingmeng for experience and always trained until her body was covered in wounds. 

Chen Mo walked into the Daoist Mind Hall.

"Junior Brother, why are you here? How is the competition?" Tan Daoling asked.

"Momo." Sun Yingmeng wiped away the tears in her eyes. She did not want to let this man see her sorry appearance.

Chen Mo smiled, "Mengmeng, don't be sad. Li Xiao is fine. After this, hear Realm will advance by leaps and bounds, very beneficial for breaking through to Heavenly Star."

"Ai." Sun Yingmeng sighed.

"The Ancestor wanted me to bring this ‘Heaven-mending Pill' to Li Xiao." Chen Mo produced a pill that was smooth and round, emitting a thick medicinal scent.

"The Heaven-mending Star Vitality Pill." Sun Yingmeng was endlessly excited.

The Heaven-mending Star Vitality Pill was a Grade One Star Pill. The so-called Star Pill, as the name implied, was for use by people who cultivated Star Energy. They were very rare in Star World, and so long as a Star General drew breath, the Heaven-mending Star Origin Pill was able to make this near dead vitality gathered and slowly refine it into Star Energy to heal the Star General. By the time the Star General awakened, her Realm would have vastly increased.

Sun Yingmeng promptly made Li Xiao ingest it. A golden glow flowed over Li Xiao's body. Slowly, that weak breathing gathered into a golden pill and did not disperse.

"How is the competition?" Tan Daoji asked.

"Right now, Milu and Heruo Bi are fighting." Chen Mo answered.

"The Self-proclaimed Great General?!" Tan Daoji gasped. This opponent was a bit troublesome. Even she did not have a guarantee of victory, but thinking carefully, every single one of the Nine Elders Of Sui's Single Character Heavenly Stars were troublesome.

"Milu's performance isn't bad. She's not letting Heruo Bi seize the advantage." Chen Mo summarized the events of the match.

"Can she win this round?" Tan Daoji asked.

"I'm afraid that will be very difficult." Chen Mo was not optimistic at all. Li Guang, after all, was an Earthly Star; to have her win against Heruo Bi was not very realistic. If she forced Heruo Bi into using her Heaven Rank, then that would bode ill.

"However, right now, everyone is already captivated by Li Guang. This can be considered a silver lining."

"En."

"Senior Sister, stay here and watch over Mengmeng and Li Xiao. I'm going back to Ascending Heaven's Summit for now. The last few matches will be the turning point." Chen Mo said.

"No, I must watch you obliterate them." Sun Yingmeng said: "Once I stabilize Xiaoxiao, I'll come watch you. Momo, you must help take revenge for Xiaoxiao, defeat Yang Guang."

Chen Mo nodded. "I will."

Exiting the Daoist Mind Hall, a woman stood at the entrance. Her long bangs covered half her face, her black hair descending like snow. Her revealed eye possessed double pupils like a god.

The woman appeared gloomy.

Chen Mo nodded at Yu Yanluo. She could be considered the reason for this Mount Hua bet. The Demon Faced Military Commander herself should know that they did this was not only for her.

Yu Yanluo returned the nod. She gazed at the sky, her thoughts unknown.

…

Chen Mo returned to Ascending Heaven's Summit.

"Chen Mo, how is your Senior Sister?" Mi Fu asked.

"With Mengmeng's care and the Ancestor's medicine, she'll be fine." Chen Mo gazed at the platform and wrinkled his brow.

The innumerable cultivators spectating the battle already held their breath with rapt attention. The scene unfolding on the arena was already beyond their imagination.

Five Star.

Six Star.

"Self-proclaimed Great General" Heruo Zhilan's longsword, the "Azure Dragon Dotted Eyes," already displayed six shimmering stars. Each of her slashes unleased dragon-shadows. The defenses of Li Milu's Quiet Phoenix Cry were becoming increasingly strained.

Although Quiet Phoenix Cry's speed appeared unbelievable to an outsider, its dazzling blinks around her forming an impenetrable barrier that left Heruo Zhilan's Six Star attacks fruitless, the murderous desire in Li Guang's eyes was becoming more and more severe. Blood leaked between her teeth.

"If This Great General uses Heaven Rank against you, that is considered my loss!"

Heruo Zhilan grinned.

"Then you lose for certain." Li Guang coldly responded.

Heruo Bi's left fist finally found an opening. Her True Phoenix Sixth Stage Realm punch slammed into Li Guang's body.

Her Innate Skill "Immovable" possessed powerful defensive instincts, but she was pushed back a hundred paces by this blow. Heruo Bi would not miss out on a chance to kill. The Azure Dragon Dotted Eyes drew a chilling sword-light.

An azure dragon came whistling out from the sword.

Phoenix Dark Rank – Boundless!

The ground split apart, and dense energy wreaked havoc on both sides, covering Li Guang.

Li Guang stamped her foot and steadied her posture. Quiet Phoenix Cry let out a phoenix cry and spiraled over. "Boundless" let out an ancient rumble. The arrow did not move, dispelling a majority of the force, but the remaining sword-qi still knocked heavily against her. 

Li Milu was pushed back again and vomited blood.

Heruo Zhilan immediately followed up with a decisively fatal attack. She wanted to take this woman's head in front of everyone in the world.

Quiet Phoenix Cry appeared out of nowhere.

The gem-framed red stone defensive array greatly deflated Heruo Zhilan. 

Another Earth Rank.

It was that impeccable defensive technique again.

Heruo Bi had the experience of countless battles, but this was the first time she had encountered such a sturdy defensive technique. Her Star Energy was plentiful yet unable to be wielded. This jewel mirror was simply able to make any martial general lose their joy of battle.

"This Great General is very upset right now!!" Heruo Bi roared like a mad beast.

This was the first time that Shi Wansui, Han Qinhu, and the others had seen this conceited woman forced into such a state. This was honestly…

A bit ridiculous.

"That Li Guang's defenses are actually able to leave Zhilan without options. Is she really an Earthly Star?"

The Great Generals looked at one another.

They all had the same thought.

Western Moon Mount Hua was much more unfathomable than they had thought.

Quiet Phoenix Cry's solid red stone array made Heruo Bi's offensive falter. At the same time, the arrow endlessly whirled about and stabbed at the enemy. Star World's greatest sword chants were nothing special in comparison.

Heruo Bi's was struck several times in succession by the arrow. Although her injuries were minor, they already sullied her pride.

"Starfall!!!"

The Azure Dragon Dotted Eyes ignited a seventh star. Thereupon, this Destined Star Weapon could be fully wielded, its starlight resplendent beyond compare.

Sword-light swept in all directions.

That speed was fleeting.

A dozen cultivators were still maintaining passive spectating postures as they were cut in half. Fountains of blood gushed into the air.

Before even finishing her first swing, Heruo Bi continued to slash in midair with astounding speed.

Her formidable attack speed made the woman appear still, but her killing intent already made the surrounding cultivators suffer disaster.

Large numbers of cultivators were cut in half, and a bloody mist spread through the air. Lucky Primordial Spirits escaped calamity, but unfortunate ones were completely destroyed under the Seven Star Azure Dragon Dotted Eyes' sword-qi. To make even a scream was a luxury. 

Bang.

The gemstone facet's defense cracked, and then, it broke like glass.

The impenetrable defenses finally collapsed under Heruo Bi's powerful Star Energy.

Li Guang was taken aback. She pointed her finger, her scarlet eyes like boiling blood. Quiet Phoenix Cry immediately returned in front of her, but it was still too late.

An unbelievable figure suddenly approached her.

Li Guang's wrist was lowered as she instinctively moved to defend.

There was clang of colliding metal.

In its place were two completely incongruous wounds.

Heruo Bi sneered right in her face.

She finally buried this Star Name.

Li Guang swiftly retreated, a cut on her abdomen. Heruo Bi lowered her wrist, and the Seven Star Destined Weapon Azure Dragon Dotted Eyes unleashed bright sword-light, reversing direction in midair.

"Earth Rank: Great Thousand Heavenly Dragon Sword!"

The heavenly dragon-like sword-qi was awe-inspiring under the cold sunlight, turning the Ascending Heaven's Summit into a Great Thousand World. Everything in this Great Thousand World became a target that the Azure Dragon Dotted Eyes Sword destroyed.

Other cultivators hastily used their abilities in order to defend, draining their magic energy to barely escape this wave of sword-qi. They could feel this power from a hundred meters away. How wretched was the one at the center of the Great Thousand World?

The cultivators were unable to imagine the state of that woman.

However, to be able to make the Nine Elders Of Sui's best Star Name, the Self-proclaimed Great General Heruo Bi, use Earth Rank to kill an Earthly Star, even if she did Starfall, the Star Name of future Li Guang's would be a kind of glory?

Li Guang's expression still maintained this instant of surprise.

Stiff, rigid, frozen.

The Great Thousand World was blasted apart by the sword-qi.

The heavenly dragon sword-qi exploded over her entire body, and Li Guang vomited blood. Sword-qi was about to tear her apart when her forehead Star Crest glowed. The "Immovable" Innate Skill made her steady as stone.

"Hmph." Li Guang sneered and flipped the bird. Her red eyes were roses, even more gorgeous, even more blood red, even more captivating.

What?

Heruo Bi sensed something was not right.

She heard a phoenix cry which whirled rapidly in front of Li Guang. This exquisite arrow spun as fast as a car wheel. The arrow seemed to become a beautiful phoenix.

It spread its gorgeous wings and hugged Li Guang. The Great Thousand Heavenly Dragon Sword's sword-qi detonated against the phoenix's body. Countless rays of sword-qi immediately turned into birds that fused into the phoenix's scarlet wings, and the sword-qi of the Great Thousand Heavenly Dragon Sword Wave attacking cultivators also seemed to be absorbed into its body.

The phoenix was like an enormous inferno, making Heruo Bi's attacks vaporize like moths into a flame.

All of her attacks were like pebbles thrown into the ocean.

Phoenix Earth Rank – All Birds Venerate Phoenix!

"This is impossible…" Heruo Bi took a step back, her expression astonished.

Heruo Bi was depressed. She endlessly swung and slashed at Li Guang, but all of her attacks were absorbed by the phoenix.

Just a little bit more and she could kill this opponent. How could Heruo Bi be reconciled at this small gap.

Soaring Wind Sword Shadow, Cloud Mist Smashed Apart, Great Thousand Heavenly Dragon Sword!

Quiet Phoenix Cry completely protected Li Guang, and Li Guang once again showed no activity at all, as if she had fallen unconscious.

"You must die!"

The woman's eyes pupils widened as she swung her longsword with both hands. Her Ster Energy was even more terrifying than when she had used Earth Rank. The Ascending Heavne's Summit tottered on the verge of collpase, splitting apart inch by inch.

All of the cultivators' expressions changed as they hurriedly fled.

This Self-proclaimed Great General had gone mad.

"Phoenix Earth Rank: Forsaken Dragon Strike!!"
