Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

The biting cold swept over, and Gao Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes, only to find himself in a foggy forest. The towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and only a few faint rays of light shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground. The air was filled with a damp and corrupt smell that made people sick.

"This is..." Gao Xingchen tried hard to recall everything that happened before he fell into a coma, the mysterious power, the ancient stone platform, and the teleportation array that soared into the sky... Could it be that he was really teleported to another place?

"Xingchen, are you okay?" A cold voice came from behind. Gao Xingchen turned around suddenly and saw Nanli standing not far away, looking at him worriedly.

"I'm fine." Gao Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease. Seeing Nan Li was also here, he had a vague guess in his mind, "Did you come in with me?"

Nan Li nodded gently, "I sensed that you were in danger, so I followed the teleportation array here."

Gao Xingchen felt warm in his heart and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a noise coming from not far away.

"Ling'er, run slower, wait for me!" Xuan Feng chased Ling'er breathlessly, and the two ran out from the depths of the woods one after the other.

"Why are you here too?" Gao Xingchen asked in surprise.

"We were worried about you, so we followed you." Ling'er said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "This place looks so mysterious, there must be a lot of fun things!"

Xuan Feng rolled his eyes at her in annoyance, "Fun? I think it's more like dangerous!"

"Okay, stop arguing." Nan Li interrupted their quarrel coldly, "Since you are here, be careful. This is not a good place."

The four decided to explore the surrounding environment first to see if they could find a way back. They walked along a hidden path, the trees around them became denser and denser, the light became dimmer and dimmer, and a depressing atmosphere spread in the air.

"Wait!" Gao Xingchen suddenly stopped. He felt a weak energy wave coming from the front. "There seems to be something in front."

Everyone immediately became alert, slowed down their pace, and walked forward cautiously.

Behind a dense bush, there is a huge cave hidden. The entrance of the cave is sealed by a thin barrier, emitting a faint light.

"This barrier..." Nan Li frowned slightly, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, "It's not simple."

Gao Xingchen also felt the extraordinaryness of this barrier, and felt a little excited in his heart. Perhaps, the secret of this world was hidden in this cave!

"Should we go in and take a look?" Ling'er asked eagerly, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Of course I have to go in!" Xuan Feng rarely backed down. "I finally came here, I can't go back empty-handed, right?"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, and both saw the same determination in each other's eyes.

"Let's go in and take a look." Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and walked towards the cave first...

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and walked towards the cave first. The barrier sensed someone approaching and rippled, but did not stop them, as if inviting them in. The cave was more spacious and brighter than expected, and the cave wall was inlaid with unknown luminous minerals, illuminating the entire cave like daylight.

"Here..." Ling'er covered her mouth, too surprised to speak. Deep in the cave, on a white jade platform, there were piles of treasures shining with various colors, including elixirs, weapons, and martial arts secrets, all dazzling and overwhelming.

"I'm rich! I'm rich!" Xuanfeng rubbed his hands excitedly, wishing he could rush up and put all the treasures into his pocket immediately.

Gao Xingchen was not overwhelmed by the scene before him. He looked around cautiously and whispered, "Be careful, there may be other dangers here."

Nan Li nodded gently, her eyes swept across the treasures in front of her, and finally fell on an ancient jade pendant. The jade pendant exuded a faint chill, and was carved with a strange ice-blue lotus, the petals were lifelike, as if they would bloom at any time.

Nan Li walked to the jade pendant as if possessed by a ghost, and stretched out her hand to touch it. Just as her fingertips were about to touch the jade pendant, a powerful force pushed her away. Nan Li staggered back a few steps, her face slightly pale.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Gao Xingchen hurriedly stepped forward to support Nan Li and asked with concern.

Nanli shook her head and said nothing, but stared at the jade pendant with a complicated look in her eyes.

Gao Xingchen followed her gaze and found that the space around the jade pendant seemed to be distorted, as if hiding some secret. With a thought in his mind, he released his spiritual sense and carefully explored the area.

"boom!"

A strong stream of information poured into Gao Xingchen's mind, causing his eyes to go dark and he almost fainted. He quickly calmed himself down and carefully digested the information in his mind.

After a moment, Gao Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. "This... this is actually..."

"What is it?" Ling'er asked curiously.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, pointed at the pile of treasures and said, "These treasures are all the inheritance left by an unparalleled strong man in ancient times!"

"Inheritance?!" Xuan Feng's eyes widened. "Are you saying that there is a secret manual to improve cultivation?"

Gao Xingchen nodded, pointed to one of the ancient scrolls and said, "Yes, this scroll records the technique that the powerful man has practiced all his life, called "Star Art"!"

"The Secret of the Stars?!" Xuan Feng exclaimed, "This is a legendary technique that can be cultivated to the divine level!"

Gao Xingchen ignored Xuanfeng's exclamation and turned to look at Nanli, his eyes full of worry: "How are you? Are you injured?"

Nan Li shook her head, her gaze still fixed on the jade pendant, as if possessed by a demon.

Gao Xingchen's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Do you recognize this jade pendant?"

Nan Li was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This jade pendant may be related to my life experience..."

"Is it related to your life experience?" Gao Xingchen stroked Nan Li's hair and asked softly, "If you want to know, let's go find the answer."

Nan Li raised her head, Gao Xingchen's resolute face was reflected in her deep eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Okay."

The four decided to leave the cave temporarily and bring the treasures back to the sect first. On the way back, Gao Xingchen held Nanli's hand all the time, and the warmth of his palm conveyed each other's feelings. There was no need for words, but it was better than a thousand words. Ling'er and Xuanfeng walked behind, looking at the two people leaning on each other in front, smiling at each other, everything was said without words.

After returning to the sect, the sect leader learned that Gao Xingchen not only recovered his cultivation, but also obtained the inheritance of an ancient powerful man. He was overjoyed and immediately decided to hold a grand celebration for Gao Xingchen.

The celebration was held under the starry sky at night, with a blazing bonfire reflecting everyone's happy faces. Gao Xingchen was dressed in white, handsome and extraordinary, while Nan Li was dressed in red, bright and beautiful. The two stood side by side, like a fairy couple.

"Junior Brother Gao, congratulations!" Ling'er said with a smile, holding the wine glass, "You are a great hero of our sect!"

"Senior Sister Ling'er, you're joking. This is all thanks to everyone." Gao Xingchen said modestly, but his eyes involuntarily drifted towards Nan Li.

Nan Li felt his gaze, turned around and smiled at him. The starlight sprinkled down, reflecting her flower-like smile. Gao Xingchen's heart seemed to be gently bumped by something, and an indescribable feeling of happiness arose spontaneously.

"Nanli," Gao Xingchen held Nanli's hand and said affectionately, "Thank you for always being by my side."

Nan Li held his hand in return, interlocking their fingers. No need for words, everything was said without words.

In the distance, Xuan Feng looked at the intimacy between the two and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "Hey, it looks like I'm going to eat dog food again."

With laughter and starlight shining, this night is destined to be an unforgettable night for Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.

However, just when everything seemed perfect, a letter from afar broke the peace. The letter was delivered by a masked man in black. After handing the letter to Gao Xingchen, he left quietly.

Gao Xingchen opened the envelope and saw only one line of words on the letter paper:

"Xingchen, come to Tianyun City quickly, my life is in danger..."

The signature is Gao Xingchen’s master, who is also his only relative.

Gao Xingchen's face turned pale instantly, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Seeing this, Nan Li hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, handed the letter to her, and said in a deep voice: "Master is in trouble."

After reading the letter, Nan Li frowned, looked up at Gao Xingchen, and said firmly: "Let's go together!"

Gao Xingchen nodded, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and the happy smile gradually disappeared, replaced by endless worry and determination.

Under the starry sky, Gao Xingchen and Nanli made a vow to face future challenges together. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, they will fight side by side and never separate.

As the night deepens, the stars remain bright, but in this quiet night, there is a hint of impending storm.

Starlight poured down, like silver light, falling on Gao Xingchen and Nanli, reflecting their happy smiles. Gao Xingchen looked at Nanli affectionately, his eyes reflecting the starlight, flashing with an unwavering light.

"Nanli, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will always be by your side and will never leave you." Gao Xingchen's voice was low and gentle, like the most beautiful oath in the night sky.

Nan Li gazed at Gao Xingchen, a sweet smile on her lips. She gently leaned her head on his shoulder, feeling this peaceful and beautiful happiness.

"Xingchen, I believe you." Nanli's voice was gentle and firm, like a breeze blowing through Gao Xingchen's heart.

However, at this happy moment, a letter from afar broke the peaceful night. The letter was delivered by a masked man in black. After handing the letter to Gao Xingchen, he disappeared into the night like a ghost.
