Undying Life

Chapter 887: Chapter 887: Star Hall

On the seventh of June, at the hour of Si, the Saint King Taiyi had already reached the starry sky.

Accompanying him was the Chess Saint Chimei of Taichu.

The scorching sun hung high, and the surroundings were filled with dazzling light. Visibility wasn't very high, but for ancient celestials, this wasn't an issue.

"Saint King, do you think the three princes of Taichu will come?" Chimei Chess Saint asked.

"Regarding the saint's relic of the Fox Clan, they should come," the Saint King Taiyi replied.

"Hopefully. Over the years, it has exceeded my expectations that you have managed to keep the three princes united and maintained Taichu," Chimei Chess Saint sighed slightly.

"Yes, the three princes of Taichu were with my father when he established the Taichu Sacred Court. When my father fell, he passed the legacy to me, doing it in such a secretive manner that it fooled the entire world. But the three princes must have guessed it," Saint King Taiyi sighed slightly.

"The old Saint King was a man of great wisdom and strategy. There is something that has puzzled me for years. Saint King, please do not be offended," Chimei Chess Saint said, frowning.

"Speak freely."

"Your younger brother, Mr. Li, is exceptionally intelligent. If the old Saint King had passed the throne to Mr. Li, it would have made sense. Why did he keep Mr. Li hidden from the beginning and only summon him back to assist you when passing the legacy to you? By rights, Saint King, you are a woman; passing the throne to Mr. Li would have been more understandable. Why did he pass it to you?" Chimei Chess Saint asked, frowning.

"My father was a man of great wisdom, and there were many considerations that made him do this. Moreover, our goal in Taichu is not merely to maintain a sacred court; we have our mission. Do not forget that," Saint King Taiyi said solemnly.

"A mission? Can that mission still be achieved?" Chimei Chess Saint showed a bitter smile.

"When your master's master deciphered the 'Heavenly Calamity Chess Game,' it began. Generations have strived for that goal and mission, exhausting their energy and lifespan but never giving up. Will you give up?" Saint King Taiyi said solemnly.

"Never, I will never give up!" Chimei Chess Saint replied firmly.

"Yes, generations have never forgotten. I believe that one day we will complete our mission, and then I can lay down this heavy burden," Saint King Taiyi said confidently.

"Yes!"

"The calculations from Xue Mei Mountain indicated the specific location is here. I don't know how many people he told," Saint King Taiyi said, frowning.

"Old Ancestor Xue Mei calculated that the Star Hall is in this star region. Does he have any ulterior motives?" Chimei Chess Saint asked, frowning.

"Ulterior motives are certain. The glamorous appearance of Old Ancestor Xue Mei is just a facade. Would he tell us the location for no reason? The more glamorous he looks, the bigger his plans. There must be something in the Star Hall that he is plotting," Saint King Taiyi said.

"A saint's treasure?"

"No, what Old Ancestor Xue Mei wants is more than a saint's treasure," Saint King Taiyi shook his head.

"Then what is it?"

"The position of a saint!" Saint King Taiyi confirmed.

"The position of a saint? Him?" Chimei Chess Saint's pupils shrank.

"Precisely him. But since he has informed us of the Star Hall's location, he definitely won't come this time. No need to worry about him," Saint King Taiyi said.

"Why?" Chimei Chess Saint asked.

"Because this news has undoubtedly reached the ears of some saints. I am certain that he doesn't want to encounter any saints," the Saint King Taiyi affirmed.

"The old Saint King was indeed wise. People say that Mr. Li is exceptionally intelligent, but it seems you are even more so. Chimei feels fortunate for Qingqiu," Chimei Chess Saint said.

At that moment, the movements of the stars in the starry region seemed to slow down, and the entire space felt as if it was being squeezed.

"Noon has arrived!" Chimei Chess Saint exclaimed.

The power of the starry sky gathered at the center of this star region, where a massive amount of energy compressed into an empty space. Though there was nothing there, the immense stellar energy compressed the space itself.

The space of the Great Thousand World began to show folds, with ripples of spatial waves continuously vibrating.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar, a massive black hole was created by the compressed space.

From the black hole, a palace slowly emerged. The enormous palace perfectly filled the black hole, creating a fascinating sight.

"The Star Hall has emerged? We're so close to it!" Chimei Chess Saint said joyfully.

Chimei Chess Saint and the Saint King Taiyi quickly sped towards the palace.

Although they were close, the vastness of the star region meant that even at their maximum speed, it would still take time to reach it.

Besides the Saint King Taiyi, other powerful figures had also witnessed this event. Like the Saint King Taiyi, many ancient celestials had received the message from Old Ancestor Xue Mei.

Nuwa's relics had drawn numerous schemers.

A multitude of powerful beings rushed towards the gigantic palace.

However, three individuals were faster than these ancient celestials: Zhong Shan, Princess Jiuwei, and Su Afo, who had come up from the sea below.

Using the passage left by Nuwa, the three approached the palace at the fastest speed.

Before long, they felt the streaming light slow down, and the scenery around them suddenly changed.

They were no longer flying but instead found themselves in front of a colossal palace, towering tens of thousands of feet high. Above, a massive plaque read "Star Hall."

There was no air around, and the gravity was minimal, but this was not an issue for Zhong Shan and the others.

"We've arrived, the Star Hall!" Su Afo said excitedly.

Su Afo knew that following Zhong Shan would be extraordinary, but he hadn't expected it to be this thrilling, and now he was so close to Nuwa's relics.

"Quick, open it. Others are coming soon!" Zhong Shan urged.

"Right!" Princess Jiuwei nodded.

She approached the gate and placed her palm on it, closing her eyes as a surge of nine-colored energy emanated from her.

Within the nine-colored energy, Zhong Shan could faintly see nine enormous tails emerging from behind Princess Jiuwei, looking exceptionally beautiful.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous sound, the gate slowly opened.

"Let's go!" Princess Jiuwei shouted excitedly and stepped inside.

Zhong Shan and Su Afo exchanged glances and followed Princess Jiuwei into the dark hall. The three stepped into the Star Hall, glancing back at the ancient celestials flying towards them from the distance.

Someone had entered? And it was two heavenly immortals and a grand immortal? The ancient celestials were perplexed.

"Saint King, it's Princess Jiuwei. Princess Jiuwei has entered!" Chimei Chess Saint exclaimed excitedly.

"Hmm, block the entrance. No one except those from Qingqiu is allowed to enter!" the Saint King Taiyi commanded.

"Understood!"

"Whoosh!"

The Saint King Taiyi and Chimei Chess Saint were indeed the first ancient celestials to reach the entrance of the Star Hall. They stopped abruptly, standing guard. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Whoosh!"

The second group arrived: the leader of the Zixiao Sect.

"Master Zixiao, please hold. This is an artifact left by Nuwa for Qingqiu. Please do not touch it," the Saint King Taiyi said sternly.

The Zixiao Sect leader stared at the Saint King Taiyi, his expression shifting.

At that moment, two more ancient celestials flew in. Their goal was clear: they wanted to enter the Star Hall. With the Zixiao Sect leader, there were now three ancient celestials trying to enter, while only the Saint King Taiyi and Chimei Chess Saint were blocking the way.

"Saint King Taiyi, move aside. You can't stop us. Those enlightened by Old Ancestor Xue Mei to come to this star region are not just a few. We three are not afraid of you, but we're concerned that if we fight, others might take advantage," one of the ancient celestials said.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

A group of strong figures suddenly arrived. Among them, four stood beside the Saint King Taiyi.

"Greetings, Saint King!" they said in unison.

Among the four was Sima Qing.

"Sima Qing? I didn't expect you to reach the Ancient Celestial Realm. Congratulations!" the Saint King Taiyi said.

"Your praise is too generous, Saint King. I just broke through a few days ago, and it's still unstable," Sima Qing replied promptly.

The Taichu Sacred Court's side suddenly increased to six people, matching the six ancient celestials opposing them. Another stalemate ensued.

Sima Qing, seeing the situation, realized that a fight wouldn't break out immediately. He dashed into the Star Hall.

Everyone's eyebrows raised.

"Saint King, forgive him. My son is spoiled and impulsive, but since he is from Qingqiu, it should be fine. Perhaps he can even assist Princess Jiuwei inside," said a man in green robes, shaking his head and smiling.

It was clear that this man was the head of the Sima family and one of the three princes of Taichu.

"Six ancient celestials from Taichu? How powerful. However, those who came to this star region are not just us. Let's see how long you can hold them off," another ancient celestial said.

At this point, the leader of the Zixiao Sect looked deeply at Sima Qing's departing figure and suddenly smiled.

"Not long ago, someone from Taichu saved a saintess from my Zixiao Sect. I haven't had the chance to express my gratitude. This time, I will assist the Taichu Sacred Court in defending against external threats and guard the Star Hall together," the leader of the Zixiao Sect announced.

"Uh?"

The leader's sudden change of stance stunned everyone, making their eyebrows twitch.

Sure enough, several more ancient celestials flew in from the distance, heading straight for the Star Hall. The tension outside the Star Hall intensified, and a major battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Inside the Star Hall.

Zhong Shan, Princess Jiuwei, and Su Afo entered the hall and looked around.

The hall was pitch black, resembling a small, dead space similar to the 'Longevity Realm.' However, this space was unique, filled with numerous small planets.

The planets weren't large, mostly around the size of Lingxiao Heavenly Court.

Princess Jiuwei held her head.

"I can feel it. Over there, follow me!" Princess Jiuwei called out.

She led them towards a small green planet in the distance.

Zhong Shan and Su Afo followed closely, quickly arriving at a lush, green planet. The surrounding planets seemed to form a large formation, protecting this one.

Princess Jiuwei swiftly found a plaza, with a smooth mountain face to the north.

The three stood on the plaza, gazing solemnly at the mountain face. More specifically, they were looking at the words left by Nuwa.
