Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

The order to block the news was quickly passed down, and the Xingchen Pavilion was immediately shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Gao Xingchen understood that the more times like this, the more he had to stay calm. He held the warm jade pendant tightly in his hand, and a strange energy flowed through his palm, as if guiding him in the direction of progress.

"This jade pendant..." A trace of doubt flashed in Nan Li's beautiful eyes, "It seems to be related to the Xingchen Pavilion's skills."

Gao Xingchen nodded, "I think so too. Perhaps, it contains everything we want to know."

Nan Li frowned slightly, "But, the words on it..."

The jade pendant was emerald green all over, with intricate patterns carved on it. In the center were a few ancient characters engraved on it, which looked like some long-lost characters that they had never seen before.

"Master Li might know." Gao Xingchen thought of the respected master of magic weapons in the Xingchen Pavilion. He was knowledgeable and proficient in various techniques of Qimen Dunjia. Perhaps he could unlock the secret of the jade pendant.

Master Li carefully examined the jade pendant, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes. "This is an ancient divine text. I have only seen it in ancient books. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today." He pointed at the text on the jade pendant and said slowly, "It records a place..."

According to Master Li's interpretation, the place recorded on the jade pendant is an ancient relic located in the far north. It is the origin of the Star Pavilion and also hides many unknown secrets.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li did not dare to delay and took a few trusted disciples with them and, under the guidance of Master Li, embarked on a journey to the Far North.

Along the way, they encountered various dangers, including attacks by ferocious monsters and secret obstructions by mysterious forces, but they were all resolved one by one by Gao Xingchen and Nanli.

Finally, they arrived at the ruins that Master Li had mentioned.

The scene before me is shocking. I see ancient buildings rising from the ground and towering into the clouds. After years of baptism, they still exude a solemn atmosphere.

"Be careful, there are traps everywhere." Master Li warned.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly cracked, and several cold lights flashed, heading straight towards everyone.

"Everyone be careful!" Gao Xingchen reacted quickly, swinging the sword in his hand and knocking down the attacking hidden weapons one by one.

Nan Li dodged nimbly, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly, and forced back several men in black who tried to launch a sneak attack.

Under the leadership of Master Li, everyone advanced cautiously, cracked one trap after another, and finally arrived at the depths of the ruins.

"This is it." Master Li pointed to a huge stone door in front and said, "The secret of Xingchen Pavilion is inside." The towering stone door was engraved with ancient patterns, as if telling a long history. Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the heavy stone door.

Behind the stone door was a spacious secret room with an ancient altar placed in the center. There was nothing on the altar except for an ancient secret book lying there quietly, emitting a faint light.

"Is this the secret of the Star Pavilion?" Gao Xingchen walked to the altar and carefully picked up the secret book.

There was no text on the cover of the secret book, only intricate patterns. Gao Xingchen gently opened the first page, and a breath of vicissitudes of life came to his face.

The secret book was written in an ancient script that Gao Xingchen did not recognize, but he could feel that it contained powerful power.

"Let me see." Nan Li walked to Gao Xingchen, curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Master Li also came over, his cloudy eyes full of surprise, "This is an ancient divine text, I didn't expect it to really exist!"

With the help of Master Li, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li finally deciphered the contents of the secret book.

It turns out that the founder of the Star Pavilion was an extremely powerful man named Xingchenzi. He comprehended the power of the stars, founded the Star Pavilion, and left behind a set of powerful exercises - the Star Art.

Xingchenzi hopes that Xingchen Pavilion can protect the peace of the area and pass on the Star Secret to his disciples, passing it down from generation to generation.

However, human minds are unpredictable. The thirteenth Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion, the mysterious man, was gifted and practiced very quickly, and soon surpassed all previous Pavilion Masters.

However, as his strength grew, his ambition also began to expand. He wanted to obtain more powerful power and control the entire Nine Star Realm.

In order to obtain the forbidden power, he betrayed the Star Pavilion, practiced evil skills, and was eventually sealed by the elders of the Star Pavilion.

"It turns out that he is the sinner of Xingchen Pavilion!" Gao Xingchen clenched his fists, flames of anger burning in his eyes.

"He is not dead, but has found a way to break the seal. Now he has made a comeback, probably to take revenge on the Star Pavilion!" Nan Li said in a deep voice.

Gao Xingchen nodded solemnly. He knew that a big battle was about to begin.

"Xingchen, what should we do?" Nanli looked at Gao Xingchen, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, a determined light flashed in his eyes, "Since he is the sinner of Xingchen Pavilion, I will clean up the mess!"

The secret book records that Xingchenzi left a prophecy before his death:

"When the stars fall and darkness descends, a young man with the power of the stars will appear. He will lead the Star Pavilion to glory and defeat all darkness!"

Gao Xingchen understood that he was the person in the prophecy, and he was tasked with guarding the Xingchen Pavilion and the Nine Star Realm!

At this time, in a dark palace thousands of miles away, a mysterious man was sitting on the throne, listening to his subordinates' reports.

"The people from the Xingchen Pavilion have already found the ruins..."

"Very good." The mysterious man raised a cold smile, "Let them be proud for a few more days. When I recover my full strength, it will be the time for the Star Pavilion to be destroyed!"

There was a gleam of resentment in his eyes, like a dormant beast, waiting for the best opportunity to strike a fatal blow to the enemy. Can Gao Xingchen and Nan Li be prepared before the storm comes and meet this unprecedented challenge?

A trace of worry flashed across Nan Li's beautiful eyes. She reached out and gently held Gao Xingchen's hand, saying softly, "Xingchen, I know you want to protect Xingchen Pavilion and the Nine Star Realm, but this enemy is too powerful. We can't take it lightly."

Gao Xingchen held Nan Li's hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, and a warm current surged in his heart. He said firmly: "Li'er, don't worry, I won't be impulsive. I will do my best to improve my strength and make full preparations before facing this powerful enemy."

Nan Li nodded gently, with a determined light flashing in her beautiful eyes, "Okay, no matter what happens, I will stay with you."

At this time, Xuan Feng hurried into the secret room and said solemnly, "Pavilion Master, Deputy Pavilion Master, we have received news that the mysterious man has begun to act. He has sent his men to search for our traces everywhere."

"It seems that he is more anxious than we thought." A cold light flashed in Gao Xingchen's eyes. He turned to look at Xuanfeng and said in a deep voice: "Xuanfeng, pass the order immediately to strengthen the defense of Xingchen Pavilion. At the same time, summon all members who can fight and prepare for battle!"

"Yes, Pavilion Master!" Xuanfeng took the order and quickly began to arrange defenses. The entire Xingchen Pavilion was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked out of the secret room and came to the Xingchen Pavilion's martial arts arena. At this time, hundreds of Xingchen Pavilion disciples had already gathered, each holding a weapon, with a firm gaze, waiting for Gao Xingchen's order.

Gao Xingchen looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The Xingchen Pavilion has a history of thousands of years since its establishment. Our ancestors have always taken it as their responsibility to protect the Nine Star Realm. Now, the Xingchen Pavilion has encountered an unprecedented crisis, but I firmly believe that as long as we unite and fight bravely, we can overcome any challenge!"

Gao Xingchen's words were full of power, instantly igniting the fighting spirit in the hearts of all the disciples of the Xingchen Pavilion. They shouted in unison, their voices shaking the earth.

"Protect the Star Pavilion! Protect the Nine Star Realm!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li smiled at each other. They knew that they would win this battle! However, Gao Xingchen knew that the mysterious man was only temporarily repelled and he would definitely come back. Can Xingchen Pavilion really withstand the next attack? Gao Xingchen knew that in order to completely resolve this crisis, he must take the initiative to find the hiding place of the mysterious man. Based on the sporadic intelligence he had collected before, he speculated that the mysterious man was likely hiding in an ancient ruin deep in the Sunset Forest.

The Sunset Forest is full of dangers, but Gao Xingchen and Nan Li are brave and decide to go there in person to find out. Just in case, Gao Xingchen specially invites Master Li, a master of magic weapons, to go with him, hoping that he can help crack the mechanism array in the ruins.

After entering the forest, the three of them fought their way through the thorns and finally found the secret entrance to the ruins three days later. The ancient stone door was engraved with mysterious runes, exuding a vicissitudes and dangerous atmosphere.

Master Li observed it carefully for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The restriction here is very ancient. It will take me some time to break it."

However, just as he finished his words, the stone door suddenly shook violently, and a powerful force surged out from the door, pushing the three people back several steps.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Gao Xingchen's face changed. Before he could react, a mysterious figure in a black robe and a golden mask on his face slowly walked out of the stone gate.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." The mysterious man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder.

"Who are you? Why do you want to be an enemy of Xingchen Pavilion?" Gao Xingchen stepped forward and asked sternly.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you all will die here today!" The mysterious man snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of Gao Xingchen and slapped him with his palm.

Gao Xingchen was prepared and dodged sideways, while at the same time punching out, colliding with the mysterious man's palm with a deafening noise.

The two were almost equally strong, and it was hard to tell who was the winner. Nan Li saw this and joined the battle, teaming up with Gao Xingchen to fight against the mysterious man.

In the fierce battle, Master Li finally found a way to break the ban. He shouted: "Master Xingchen, I have opened a passage. You must quickly enter the ruins!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li seized the opportunity and rushed into the ruins. The mysterious man saw this and was about to chase them, but was blocked by a formation that suddenly appeared.

"Damn it!" The mysterious man roared, but he could do nothing. He knew that this plan had failed.

However, he didn't know that this was just the beginning. A bigger storm was waiting for them...
