Immortal Road.

A commotion broke out in the hall as all the elders recognized the newcomer. Wasn't this the very same True Lord Yuxing, the one who single-handedly founded the Star Palace and the Hundred Clans, depicted in the portrait of their clan's ancestor?
After ten thousand years, it has come back to life!

They unconsciously made way for them, their shock barely concealed on their faces.

Xing Jinshu stood helplessly at the end of the hall, watching as the person approached her step by step, the shadow growing longer and longer until it enveloped her as well!
"Auntie, I'm back. Why are you hiding from your husband?"

Upon hearing this voice, Xing Jinshu was startled and immediately roared, her voice trembling with fear:

"Zhou Qiyu, don't come any closer! If you take another step, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Oh? You're my fourth concubine, my youngest and most beloved one, and you were the most tactful in pleasing others. Why are you now keeping your master at arm's length when he returns?"

The newcomer's tone suddenly changed, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes!
"Could it be that you've achieved the primordial spirit, grown powerful, and now intend to betray your wifely duties, abandon your family, and bring misfortune to your husband?"

"!!!"

Everyone on the field was so frightened that they trembled like leaves, standing on both sides, barely daring to breathe.

They were filled with fear. They never expected that the return of the Jade Star True Monarch from ten thousand years ago would lead to a tense confrontation with the Ancestor Star Jinshu!
Shouldn't this couple, reunited after so long, be overjoyed and weeping? What's going on here?

Xing Jinshu stared intently ahead, her whole body tense like a string. Two horns on her head lit up, drawing in the starlight from the outside world. Although it was daytime, this half of her body instantly turned into night!
"The news of your return will soon spread throughout this realm. Those great holy lands from back then will definitely not let you go. Once the spiritual tide ends and they have time to spare, you will face endless pursuit!"

"Instead of thinking about running away and hiding in some corner, you still dare to cause me trouble. It will only make your future worse!"

"Furthermore, to tell you the truth, I am not what I used to be. If it really comes down to a fight, who's afraid of whom?"

"Hahaha, great!"

The newcomer clapped his hands and laughed, seemingly not in a hurry to make a move right away. After so many years apart, there must have been some pent-up emotions. How could the grudges from the past be so easily forgotten?

"You don't need to tell me about those holy sites; I will visit them one by one in the future. If they dare to come to me, I would be more than happy to oblige!"

"It's a pity that all those people from back then are gone, and we don't know how much the younger generation is capable of withstanding the power of my Yuxing!"

"As for your humming,

"You betrayed your master, sold out your own people for personal gain, and secretly colluded with various holy sites to leak my whereabouts, causing me to be surrounded in that desperate battle!"

"I'm here today to settle this score with you!"

This statement is tantamount to a definitive conclusion: the downfall of True Lord Yuxing was the result of Xing Jinshu's secret manipulation, instantly nailing her to the pillar of shame as a traitor!

Most of the elders of the Star Palace Hundred Clans felt their hearts pounding. They never expected there to be such a hidden secret, and only now has the truth come to light.

No wonder that after the last Wanhui year ended, the major holy lands did not exterminate her, but allowed her to gather the old forces of Yuxing and rebuild the Star Palace and the Hundred Clans. Not long after, she successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. It turns out that she had joined forces with her enemies.

If they had known back then that this woman had already betrayed them, how many Inhumans would have been willing to follow her?
Unexpectedly, Xing Jinshu's temper flared up, and she started yelling and cursing at the top of her lungs!
"Who was at fault first?"

"You lecherous, cruel, and perverted monster! For hundreds of years, you have been searching the world for Star Spirits. We four sisters were forced into becoming your concubines, forced to submit to you, and not only did we have to endure your daily gratification of desires, but we also had to endure being whipped and tortured!"

"Humans and Protoss are different races. You insisted on having children with Johnson, which caused all three of my sisters to die in childbirth. If I hadn't compromised, would I still be alive today?"

"And that traitorous chief steward, Xing Lingjin, is out there capturing Xingling and harming my fellow citizens. If I hadn't failed to catch him last time, I would have torn him to pieces to vent my hatred!"

Ok?
Did this story exist back then?

The elders of the various races looked at each other in disbelief. They had thought that the True Lord Yuxing's taking a concubine ten thousand years ago was a romantic affair, but they never expected that he would be so focused on the Star Spirits and even want to have children with humans!

Is this so fantastical?

From their perspective, they are all Inhumans and have no good feelings towards Humans or Protoss, so they don't care about this matter and don't have any sense of right or wrong if they don't project their own race onto it.

However, from the perspective of the Celestials, Celestial's rebellion was clearly a result of long-standing resentment, which seems reasonable in hindsight.

The visitor did not argue with her about right and wrong, but instead asked a question with slight surprise:
"Where is my Grand Steward Xing Lingjin? I protected him in the Star Palace back then, he should be alive by now, how come he's gone?"

Xing Jinshu sneered!
"That guy was suppressed for ten thousand years just like you. He went missing not long ago and I sent people to hunt him down for tens of thousands of miles. It is said that he was eventually turned into a cursed spirit. Hahahaha, he deserved it, he deserved it!"

"Huh? Who dares to do this?"

The visitor was indeed furious upon hearing this. Xing Lingjin was his most loyal lackey. He had originally hoped to be able to gather his old subordinates after escaping after ten thousand years, but he never expected to be captured and refined!
Among the crowd, Lin Shan, who was secretly eavesdropping in Xiong Shan's arms, felt a sudden unease.

How did Xing Jinshu know that Xing Lingjin had been refined into a cursed spirit? Did someone leak the secret?
It's not hard to tell from their conversation that they are actually vying for the hearts and minds of the Star Palace's hundred races. True Lord Yuxing wants to regain this massive alien race power as his foundation and base after his comeback.

Xing Jinshu was reluctant to give up this millennia-old foundation. Although she hurriedly led her people away from the spiritual tide as soon as she realized that Yu Xing Zhenjun had escaped, she still obediently stayed in Kongsang Sea to guard it. Otherwise, she would have escaped alone long ago.

Now the two are advancing and retreating, with the former pressing forward step by step and the latter having nowhere left to retreat!

Lin Shan could understand it too. After so many years of development, the Star Palace Hundred Clan has become a behemoth comparable to a holy land. Which Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be tempted?
With such a large force under his control, he can do so many things he wants!
Yu Xing Zhenjun occupies a high position of righteousness. He was originally the founder of the Star Palace Hundred Clans. His purpose in returning this time is to seize power, reclaim everything he has had in the past, and take away the fruits that Xing Jinshu has cultivated for ten thousand years!

When he reveals the betrayal he suffered, he is trying to undermine the elders of the various races of the Otherworld. Everything is a ploy, and this is a confrontation between the two successive temple masters!
"You dared to kill my Grand Steward Xing Lingjin, and I will pursue this matter in the future. But today, all the races of the Star Palace must return what belongs to its rightful owner, and I will also eliminate you, this traitor, on the spot, so that you will know that retribution is swift and that betrayal will ultimately backfire!"

"Everything I could give you back then, I can take back at any time now."

"All elders present, disperse! After I have cleansed the house, prepare a banquet to welcome the new master back to his position!"

Yu Xing Zhenjun spoke with a firm and resounding voice, each word filled with confidence. Upon his arrival, he naturally issued orders to all the elders, and the key point was that no one on the field felt anything was wrong, as if these were golden rules!

According to the ancestral precepts passed down for thousands of years, True Lord Yuxing is the founder of the Star Palace Hundred Clans, the only true master, and the common master recognized by the cultivation world of surrounding countries!
His return immediately stirred the hearts of the elders of the Hundred Clans, who hesitated and looked back and forth, their steps showing signs of taking a step forward.

Xing Jinshu shouted out upon seeing this scene:
"All elders, listen to my command! Stay where you are and do not cause any disturbance. Anyone who dares to move will not be spared in the future!"

Now the elders of each tribe were caught in mid-air, unsure whether to take the first step or not.

While True Lord Yuxing is indeed famous, Xing Jinshu's prestige among the hundred clans of Xingdian over the years is also deeply rooted, a mountain that they can never shake off!
Now that the two ancestors are vying for power, whoever dares to take sides first will be singled out as a warning to others; everyone understands this principle. True Monarch Yuxing looked around, his eyes as calm as still water. Many elders lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze, and even the Bear Mountain Man stood there obediently.

But the next moment, a huge roar came!

Everyone immediately scattered and fled.

"Boom~~~"

The two powerful beings at the primordial spirit level clashed instantly, and night fell completely.

The stars and moon in the sky were as large as buckets, and pillars of starlight that stretched to the heavens and the earth were projected down. Blue star mist shrouded the entire island, and the two sides began to fight over it.

While powerful beings at the primordial spirit level can generally fight without relying on external forces, the power of heaven and earth is still one of the factors on the scales of victory or defeat, and should still be fought for.

The battle had a wide-ranging impact; the main hall was destroyed in just three breaths, and the area within a hundred miles of the island was razed to the ground in ten breaths!

All the elders fled through the air at breakneck speed, swaying in the wind like fallen leaves and duckweed, their hearts pounding with fear, lest they lose their lives if they were even a step too late!
Only after maintaining a safe distance did they dare to observe the battle from afar.

On Xing Jinshu's side, one can see a transparent horned giant's avatar. This is the Star Spirit's true form opening up, summoning the power of all the stars to flow down continuously, as spectacular as thousands of streams flowing into the sea, illuminating the night sky of Kongsang Sea.

On Yu Xing Zhenjun's side, there was only one large star hanging alone in the sky, yet it was able to suppress the countless stars on the other side in their battle. A massive amount of starlight shot out like a rain of arrows, as if there were thousands of troops behind him.

These are two beings who have mastered the power of the stars in this world, engaging in an exceptionally rare battle of primordial spirits using the same methods!

In a daze, a loud shout came from inside:
"Nine Abyss Star Vortex!"

Nine enormous blue vortexes hung high in the sky, their powerful suction force frantically gathering the stellar energy between heaven and earth, before unleashing boundless star energy that surged forth like giant waves crashing against the shore.

Another voice burst into laughter.

"That move? I know that too, watch this!"

Nine more identical star vortexes hang in the sky, reflecting each other like mirror images, arranged on the left and right, each radiating an incredible suction force, like stars surrounding the moon!

Xing Jinshu's eyes instantly turned red upon seeing this.

"This is my eldest sister's innate supernatural ability, and you forcibly stripped it away from her, you madman!"

Lord Yuxing laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, didn't I teach you afterwards and also inscribe the inheritance jade slip of the Star Arts Divine Power for future generations? This is a grand plan that will benefit thousands of generations!"

"It's a small matter that she lost her innate divine power, but the fact that it has been passed down through generations of the cultivation world is what makes her famous for all time."

"I'm doing a good deed for her, accumulating merit. She'll be so grateful to me!"

"hypocritical."

Xing Jinshu roared loudly, and a large star rose slowly behind her; it was her natal star.

After encountering the calamity star Lin Shan in the mortal world, he spent several years refining it back. The natal star is the supreme means of the star spirit and the path that all star cultivators in the myriad realms have recognized.

A flash of light vanished into the void, then suddenly appeared on the back of True Monarch Yuxing's head and slammed down straight down!
bang~~~
The starlight vanished, leaving a puddle of starlight water, and the figure of True Lord Yuxing appeared from the other side.

"Your natal star was shattered before. Was it damaged in a battle against some powerful primordial spirit? You dare to show it off before it's even repaired, you 'Star-Piercing Eye'!"

As he spoke, his two gazes, like torches, locked onto his natal star, which was rapidly moving through the spatial rift. Then, he struck out with a palm, tearing through space and blasting the star apart in mid-air!
"Ah~~~"

Xing Jinshu cried out in pain, nearly fainting on the spot.

The destruction of one's natal star during a battle is fatal for a star cultivator, and she has encountered this scenario twice in a row!
Yu Xing Zhenjun's strength far exceeded her expectations. Even though she had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, she was still no match for him when they met again after ten thousand years. He remained a nightmare that she could not shake off.

The Zhou Tian Star Body contains the number of Huiyuan within its body, 129,800 star veins. It is a star vein flow outside the path of one's natal star, and is an ancient star cultivation method from millions of years ago. Its characteristic is that great effort can produce miracles!

In a battle of equals, his supernatural powers are far superior to yours!
"Auntie, you were once my most beloved woman. I never had the heart to force you to have a child, even until my death. Yet you betrayed me. This pain has lasted for tens of thousands of years! Do you know how much I hate you???"

Yu Xing Zhenjun's face was filled with hatred, and he showed no mercy. It was clear that the betrayal of that year was etched into his heart. This time, he had decided to eliminate this woman, even if she was his concubine. She must pay the price for what he had done!
"Go to hell, along with your three sisters. Remember to check the almanac before you're reincarnated!"

Under the gaze of the Star-Piercing Eyes, this woman had nowhere to hide and could not escape even if she wanted to, because she had been completely locked onto by a bright star in the sky without realizing it.

Yu Xing!

This is a star of wealth and nobility within the central palace of Ziwei in the heavens, holding a position equal to that of Zichen Star, exuding elegance and grandeur, and possessing immeasurable nobility.

Yu Xing Zhenjun doesn't need any innate spiritual treasures like the Zi Chen Star Ring; he can summon it on his own, and that is his true natal star!
The massive star pillar, like divine punishment, pierced through countless spaces in an instant, crashing down with lightning speed and completely covering the area.

Sudden——

All the members of the Star Palace Hundred Clan who were watching were shocked by this scene, their hands and feet turned cold, and their hearts trembled.

The ancient star spirit that had ruled the alien race for tens of thousands of years just watched helplessly as it perished, killed by the newly born True Monarch Yu Xing?

Among them were Xing Jinshu's confidants, but under the immense power of True Lord Yuxing, they had no right to resist and could only look into the distance in despair.

The starlight dissipated, and moonlight shone down.

Surprisingly, Xing Jinshu was still alive, even though she was kneeling in the air.

In front of her, a man in black robes stood with his hands supporting him against the wind.

"Who are you?" (End of Chapter)
