Today, the Li family's Star River was bustling with activity, filled with guests who were all important figures from the surrounding celestial bodies.
Almost every sacred sect had such days, aimed at showcasing the sect's strength and intimidating other cultivators.
The Li family's Star River Rotation Day was just such an occasion, and it also helped to enrich the spiritual energy in the Star River, aiding the cultivation of the cultivators within.
Li Yang and Li Yue, the twin sacred cultivators, stood at the heights of the Star River. Their expressions were similar, both cold and austere. As the rulers of the Li family, they were like divine beings to the surrounding celestial bodies.
Countless sect patriarchs worshipped them, seeking the protection of the Li family.
This was the power of a sacred cultivator in the star realm.
Cultivators came and went in the Star River, but four individuals moved in a peculiar manner, lingering in one area.
They didn't seem to be here for the grand occasion, but rather appeared to be up to no good.
"Did you see? Li Yang and Li Yue are at the top of the Star River. Should we approach them separately or together?" Qiu Li asked.
Emperor Capital raised an eyebrow disdainfully and cursed, "Damn it, why are you so cowardly? What's there to fear? Let's go together, I don't believe she can take on all four of us at once!"
The logic was sound, after all, Chen Xia's strategy was to use numbers to their advantage. He nodded and said, "Let's use spirit communication to call her out first."
Having received the order, Qiu Li began to act. He gathered spiritual energy and used spirit communication to penetrate Li Yang's protective barrier, saying, "Li Yang, old friends reunite, come out quickly to meet us!"
At the top of the Star River, Li Yang immediately frowned. Her terrifying spiritual sense spread out instantly, scanning the entire Star River in just over ten breaths, but she found no suspicious presence.
"What's wrong?" Li Yue, standing beside her, noticed the problem and inquired.
"Trouble has come knocking," Li Yang replied, glancing obliquely at the upper reaches of the universe, alert for any arrivals from above.
"A million miles south of the Star River, come quickly, it's urgent," the spirit communication sounded again.
Li Yang wasn't afraid. She wanted to see what kind of vermin was causing trouble, so she rushed directly towards the location mentioned in the message.
Naturally, Li Yue followed her. The Li family's twin sacred cultivators traveling together were unrivaled below the level of great sacred cultivators in this star realm.
A million miles was but a moment's journey for sacred cultivators.
Li Yang and Li Yue quickly arrived, standing in the universe, their spiritual senses scanning the surroundings.
"Old friend, old friend, it's been so long!" Emperor Capital's excited voice rang out as he walked out with a smile.
"It's indeed this scoundrel!" Li Yue sneered, already gathering divine abilities in her hand.
Li Yang's expression was equally cold, clearly showing no goodwill towards Emperor Capital. Divine abilities manifested, ready to start the battle.
"Wait, wait, it's not just me, there are others," Emperor Capital hurriedly waved his hands.
Li Yang said in a deep voice, "It's Qiu Li, right? Come out together!"
"How did you know I was here?" Qiu Li's puzzled voice sounded as he walked out from the universe, expressing his confusion.
Li Yang replied disdainfully, "Do I need to think much about you two scoundrels?"
"That's true," Emperor Capital nodded.
"What the hell are you agreeing to?" Qiu Li frowned and retorted.
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Li Yang spoke first.
"Since it's you two plotting, it can't be anything good. I won't waste words with you. Either you leave now, or we fight."
"Uh... actually, there's more than just the two of us," Qiu Li replied.
Li Yang's brow furrowed again, and she guessed, "Jia Bai?"
"No, you'll never guess who it is!" Emperor Capital said proudly.
"Did you bring your father?" Li Yang raised an eyebrow and asked.
"My father died long ago, how stupid," Emperor Capital once again proved that honesty was the only sure-fire killer.
Li Yang and Li Yue were both puzzled. Their eyes met, already discussing countermeasures.
If the other side had another sacred cultivator, they would fight while retreating, not giving them a chance to surround and kill them.
"It's me," a deep voice sounded as Chi Yu appeared in the starry sky, not saying much.
"Chi Yu!" Li Yang naturally recognized him immediately, and asked in disbelief,
"With your honest nature, why are you mixed up with these two scoundrels?"
"Because of my brother," Chi Yu answered.
Li Yang became even more confused, "You have a brother? How come I've never heard of him in all these years..."
"You have heard of him, seen him, and know him," Chi Yu corrected her.
Li Yang's expression suddenly froze, as if in deep thought. After a while, her pupils quickly dilated as she realized something incredible, causing her to exclaim,
"Chen Xia!"
"Indeed, it's me," a young man in cyan robes walked out leisurely from the Star River, smiling at Li Yang.
"It's been a while since we last met."
"You're not dead?!" Li Yang asked in shock.
Li Yue beside her was already stunned, never expecting to see Chen Xia, this legendary figure.
"I've never died. I just wasn't in the star realm before. Now that I finally have some free time, I thought of gathering the cultivators of the Blue Sky Sword Sea to retrace it."
"Huh." Li Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and asked in return,
"Why should I agree to your request?"
"Good question," Chen Xia nodded, "You used to owe me ten thousand spirit stones. This is a great opportunity, surely you should repay me with an opportunity?"
Li Yang was taken aback, then chuckled, "Think carefully about who owes who spirit stones. If anything, you owe me ten thousand spirit stones!"
"Huh?" Chen Xia frowned, his eyes moving as he turned to Emperor Capital, Qiu Li, and Chi Yu, asking in confusion,
"What spirit stones? Do you know about this?"
"No idea."
"Never heard of it."
"Hmm."
The four of them knew how to play along with each other.
Li Yang laughed again, looking at Chen Xia, and asked, "Where in the world do you find help without benefits? You need to offer something good, then I'll consider agreeing."
"Damn it, Brother Chen, you're really giving her face. I can't stand this anymore, let's get her!" Emperor Capital suddenly shouted, his great dao beginning to manifest, spiritual energy fluctuating.
"If it's a fight you want, who's afraid!" Li Yue responded with a shout, her great dao confronting Emperor Capital's.
Chen Xia looked at Li Yue, falling into silence. After a while, he nodded and said,
"If you join, I'll give you a great opportunity for advancement!"
"What kind of opportunity?"
"I'll make you the Grand Elder of the retraced Blue Sky Sword Sea!"
At this, everyone fell silent.
They had expected Chen Xia to make empty promises, but they hadn't expected him to make one that even a dog wouldn't accept.
Li Yang smiled faintly and replied,
"Haha, forget it. Although we have an old friendship, you need to show your strength to convince me. You were the first in the Blue Sky Sword Sea, but after twenty thousand years, that may no longer be the case."
She suddenly flicked her finger, and a great sun appeared, suspended behind her like the center of the universe. She laughed heartily and said,
"Twenty thousand years have passed, with the great sun before us. Chen Xia, can you still stand at the forefront of geniuses like you did twenty thousand years ago?"
Chen Xia looked at her calmly. Since Li Yang spoke this way, it seemed she wouldn't be convinced without a fight.
He lightly pressed down on the universe with one hand.
Suddenly, black mist appeared and spread throughout the starry sky, the thick aura of death covering all light.
Li Yue immediately focused her gaze, her expression becoming extremely serious as she sensed a familiar aura.
"Huff."
Chen Xia gently blew.
A giant hand extended from the black mist, larger than a thousand celestial bodies, broader than all the star rivers of the universe. It reached directly for the great sun, as if to extinguish its light!
The moment the black giant hand appeared, Li Yue exclaimed,
"Lord of Dead Star!"
Good night, everyone.
