Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Gao Yang died miserably, with black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, obviously he committed suicide by taking poison. Gao Xingchen clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and anger surged in his heart. This assassin who suddenly appeared and was very powerful actually chose to die so easily, which was too strange. Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Gao Yang's death was just the beginning, and a bigger crisis was still to come.

The next morning, Gao Xingchen invited the family elder, Elder Zhao, to the secret room and told him in detail what happened last night. After listening, Elder Zhao also frowned and remained silent.

"Elder Zhao, what do you think?" Gao Xingchen asked.

Elder Zhao stroked his beard and said slowly, "Master, this matter is of great importance. Gao Yang's death and the teleportation array show that the Sun family is no longer satisfied with secretly opposing us. They are going to tear their faces apart and attack us!"

Gao Xingchen nodded, and he also realized this. "Elder Zhao, do you have any suggestions?"

Elder Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Master, instead of just sitting there and waiting for death, why not take the initiative to attack! Since the Sun family has a teleportation array, let's use it to counter them!"

"How to counter?" Gao Xingchen asked.

"We can send people to sneak into the teleportation array and find out what is on the other end of the teleportation array and what the Sun family is planning. As long as we grasp their movements, we can prepare in advance and catch them off guard!" Elder Zhao's eyes flashed.

Gao Xingchen's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea! "Okay, let's do it! Elder Zhao, I'll leave this matter to you to arrange!"

"I'll do it right away!" Elder Zhao took the order and left.

Soon, Elder Zhao selected an elite team, led by Xuanfeng, to sneak into the teleportation array. Before leaving, Gao Xingchen specifically warned: "Xuanfeng, this trip is dangerous, you must be careful! Remember, your mission is to gather intelligence, don't act rashly!"

"Yes, Master!" Xuanfeng and others took the order and then set off for the abandoned house.

As night fell, Xuanfeng and his team sneaked into the house and came to the dry well. Looking at the teleportation array emitting a faint light in front of him, Xuanfeng took a deep breath and said to the team members behind him: "Brothers, be careful!"

After that, Xuan Feng took the lead in entering the teleportation array, followed by the rest of the team. After a while of spinning around, they arrived at an unfamiliar space.

This is a desolate valley, surrounded by strange rocks and gusty winds. Xuanfeng looked around, full of doubts. What exactly is this place? Why did the Sun family set up the teleportation array here?

At this moment, there was a burst of noisy voices in the distance, as if someone was talking. Xuan Feng's mind moved, and he signaled the team members to lighten their steps and move towards the direction where the voice came from...

Xuan Feng and the others held their breath and quietly approached the source of the sound under the cover of night. When they pushed aside the last bush, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

A huge underground cave suddenly appeared before their eyes. The area around the cave was brightly lit and crowded with people. Warriors in uniform black uniforms kept coming in and out, carrying boxes of items deep into the cave.

"This...where exactly is this place?" a team member couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Xuanfeng made a gesture to silence everyone, signaling them to continue observing. In the boxes carried by the warriors, the light of spiritual stones could be vaguely seen flickering, and there were even some precious herbs emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.

"These are..." Xuan Feng's pupils shrank slightly, and a storm surged in his heart. As a member of the Gao family, he naturally recognized the value of these things. Such a huge amount of cultivation resources is enough to make any family's strength advance by leaps and bounds!

"Could it be that... the Sun family secretly controls a secret realm?!" This thought flashed through Xuanfeng's mind, making him shudder. If this is true, then the Sun family's ambition is not just as simple as annexing the Gao family!

Xuanfeng didn't dare to delay any longer, and signaled two team members to stay here and continue monitoring, while he took the other two back the same way.

After returning to the Gao family, Xuanfeng immediately told Gao Xingchen and Elder Zhao about their discovery.

"What?! Secret realm?!" Elder Zhao exclaimed, his face becoming extremely solemn, "This matter is of great importance, we must report it to the head of the family as soon as possible!"

After listening to Xuanfeng's report, Gao Xingchen's eyes sparkled. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Xuanfeng, you did a great job!" Gao Xingchen patted Xuanfeng on the shoulder, his tone full of praise, "You have done a great job this time!"

"Master, I am just doing my job." Xuanfeng said respectfully.

"No, you did a great job." Gao Xingchen shook his head. "If you hadn't discovered the Sun family's secret in time, we would probably still be kept in the dark, and the consequences would be disastrous!"

"Master, what should we do now?" Elder Zhao asked, "Should we take the initiative while the Sun family hasn't reacted yet?"

Gao Xingchen pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No, it's not the right time yet. We know nothing about the Sun family's deployment in the secret realm. A rash attack will only alert the enemy."

"The master's plan..."

"We will use the teleportation array to transfer all the resources in the secret realm to our hands!" Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and his tone was firm, "Since the Sun family wants to use the secret realm to deal with us, then we will use their tricks against them and use them in return!"

"The head of the family is wise!" Elder Zhao, Xuanfeng and others all showed admiration in their eyes when they heard this.

That night, Gao Xingchen brought the master of the family who was proficient in formations to the abandoned house. He placed his hands on the teleportation array, mobilized the power of the stars in his body, and began to transform the teleportation array...

Gao Xingchen knew very well that in order to overcome the current crisis, it was not enough to rely solely on external forces. What was more important was to strengthen one's own strength and the determination to unite.

He summoned all the family members, stood on the high platform, looked at everyone with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice: "The Sun family has evil ambitions and wants to annex our Gao family. Now they are secretly controlling the secret realm. They deserve to be killed! As warriors, we should move forward bravely and defend the family's honor to the death!"

Gao Xingchen's voice echoed in the martial arts arena like a huge bell, stirring the blood of all the Gao family members present. They clenched their fists, their eyes burning with anger, and shouted in unison: "We will defend the family's honor to the death!"

"Okay!" Gao Xingchen nodded with satisfaction and continued, "I know that some people in the family are dissatisfied because of the previous changes, and even feel confused about the future of the family. But I want to tell you that I, Gao Xingchen, have never given up on any of my clansmen! As long as we are united, no force can defeat us!"

Gao Xingchen's words were sincere and powerful, touching the hearts of everyone present. Those clansmen who had once held doubts also put aside their grudges and rekindled their hope and loyalty to the clan.

In order to eliminate discordant voices and enhance family cohesion, Gao Xingchen decided to publicly teach high-level skills so that all talented children could have the opportunity to learn. He also took out the precious elixirs and weapons in the family treasury to reward those children who made breakthroughs in cultivation.

Gao Xingchen's actions greatly stimulated the family members' enthusiasm for cultivation. They practiced hard day and night, learned from each other, and their strength improved by leaps and bounds. The entire Gao family was immersed in a positive atmosphere.

Gao Xingchen did not forget Xuanfeng's contribution. He summoned Xuanfeng to his side and personally taught him the more advanced astrology. Xuanfeng was very talented, and with Gao Xingchen's careful guidance, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he was already a leader among his peers.

Seeing the high morale and hard work of the family members, Gao Xingchen showed a gratified smile on his face. He knew that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties and revive the glory of the Gao family!

However, just when everything seemed to be on track, the date of the family trial finals was suddenly moved forward, bringing them new challenges. This sudden change made Gao Xingchen and others realize that a bigger storm was coming...

Gao Xingchen brought Xuanfeng to a secret valley behind the family mountain. This place was full of spiritual energy and was the place where the Gao family's successive heads practiced in seclusion. In the valley was an ancient stone platform, which was engraved with intricate star patterns and exuded a faint sense of oppression.

"Xuanfeng, you are gifted and hardworking, and you are the hope for the future of our Gao family." Gao Xingchen pointed at the star pattern on the stone platform and said in a deep voice, "I have decided to teach you the star secrets that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Gao family. I hope you can live up to everyone's expectations and bring honor to the family in the future."

Hearing this, Xuan Feng was extremely excited. He knelt on both knees and kowtowed three times to Gao Xingchen respectfully, and said in a firm tone: "Please rest assured, young master, Xuan Feng will do his best to live up to your high expectations!"

Gao Xingchen nodded and motioned Xuanfeng to stand up. He took a deep breath and began to explain the secrets of the Star Art to Xuanfeng. The Star Art was created by the ancestors of the Gao family who observed the movement of the stars and comprehended the truth of heaven and earth. It is extremely powerful. If you practice it to the extreme, you can even control the power of the stars and destroy the world.

Gao Xingchen explained and demonstrated in person, while Xuanfeng watched attentively and tried to comprehend. Gao Xingchen imparted his understanding of the secret art of the stars to Xuanfeng without reservation and pointed out the misunderstandings in his practice.

Under Gao Xingchen's careful instruction, Xuanfeng's cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds. In just a few days, he broke through the bottleneck and reached a higher level. He became more and more proficient in controlling the power of the stars. With just a move of his hands and feet, he could mobilize the power of the stars and unleash astonishing power.

However, just when Gao Xingchen and the others thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, the clan elder, Elder Zhao, hurried to the valley and reported to Gao Xingchen with a serious look: "Young Master, something bad has happened! The clan trial finals will be held ahead of schedule!"

"What?!" Gao Xingchen's face suddenly changed when he heard this. The family trial is a grand event held by the Gao family every three years, which aims to select young talents in the family and focus on training them. The trial finals are the most important, which is related to the future fate of the family.

According to the original plan, the family trial finals should be held in a month. This period of time is enough for the Gao family members to make full preparations. But now, the trial finals have suddenly been moved forward, which undoubtedly disrupted all their plans and put them in a passive position.

"Who did it?" Gao Xingchen suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"It is said that the Sun family is the one who is causing trouble. They bribed several elders who were in charge of hosting the trial and jointly wrote to the head of the family, asking for the finals to be held in advance." Elder Zhao said indignantly, "The head of the family had no choice but to agree to their request."

A cold light flashed in Gao Xingchen's eyes. He knew that the Sun family deliberately wanted to catch them off guard and wanted to take the opportunity to give them a warning in the trial finals.

"The Sun family is really too much!" Gao Xingchen clenched his fists and secretly swore in his heart that he must make the Sun family pay the price in the trial finals!

However, time is running out and they don't have much time left. Can they make adequate preparations in a short period of time and win the final of the trial?
