Change Cars Switch Vehicles Upon Entering the City

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deep within the starry expanse, over a dozen deadly beams of immortal light erupted violently.

It was the group of star pirates who had decided to strike earlier, tearing through the void and crossing millions of miles in an instant.

Among them were five Profound Immortals and eleven Celestial Immortals.

For a moment, the stars trembled, and thunder roared across the cosmos.

Yet, they perfectly demonstrated the saying: "The faster they come, the faster they fall."

"Kneel."

Two indifferent words drifted through the void.

The star pirates instantly paled in unison. In that instant, they felt as though a colossal demonic shadow, towering tens of thousands of feet high, had risen from the golden ancient war chariot, blotting out the heavens and shaking the ages. The terrifying demonic aura emanating from it made the very fabric of the starry sky quiver in fear.

The oppressive demonic might pressed down on them like countless divine mountains.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of bones shattering echoed.

The group of star pirates knelt before the golden war chariot, howling and wailing in agony.

Gu Qingfeng stepped out of the carriage with ease. Ye Wuyou, still stunned by his foster father’s overwhelming power, quickly snapped back to attention and helped him down.

With a disdainful glance at the star pirates, Gu Qingfeng spoke calmly, "I’ll give you a choice—submit or die."

The star pirates were no fools. A living dog was better than a dead lion. Besides, serving a master of such immense power might even lead to a better life than their current lawless existence.

Thus, Gu Qingfeng acquired a new group of lackeys to pull his chariot, finally restoring a fraction of the prestige he once enjoyed.

As the saying goes, many hands make light work. With their combined efforts, a little over a month later, Gu Qingfeng finally arrived at the Seven Stars Immortal City.

Through the star pirates, he had also gained a deeper understanding of this legendary city and the Seven Stars Assembly.

The reason for the Seven Stars Assembly lay in this region’s seven unique primordial stars, which had existed for countless eons, containing unfathomable mystical power.

Every ten thousand years, when the seven stars aligned, the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone would open.

Legend had it that within the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone lay a secret place known as the Flying Immortal Pool. This pool held the key to ascending to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm—an opportunity unlike any other.

Breaking through in the Flying Immortal Pool granted a chance to comprehend a higher and mightier Eternal Dao, laying a foundation far more profound than that of ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was a threshold unlike any other—far surpassing the gap between Profound Immortals and Golden Immortals.

While Golden Immortals could overpower Profound Immortals, enough ants could bring down an elephant. A sufficient number of Profound Immortals could defeat a Golden Immortal.

But Great Luo Golden Immortals were different. They were beings who had grasped the Eternal Dao—the supreme laws that governed the Eternal True World.

Such beings could not be defeated by numbers. No amount of Golden Immortals could overcome a single Great Luo.

Only another Great Luo could defeat a Great Luo.

(Of course, higher existences like Immortal Kings didn’t count.)

Thus, the once-in-ten-millennium Seven Stars Assembly was a grand event in the Sixth Star Ruins. No one could resist the temptation of becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even disciples of Immortal King factions, who could break through to Great Luo at any time, often chose to wait for the opening of the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone, seeking the chance to attain a loftier path.

......

Seven Stars Immortal City.

Gu Qingfeng lifted the curtain of his golden war chariot and gazed upon the magnificent, colossal city that resembled a primordial star.

Even for someone as worldly as him, it was a sight to behold.

The city sprawled across the starry void like an ancient divine dragon, its towering walls extending endlessly like rolling mountain ranges.

Starlight cascaded over the city, casting a golden radiance over the ancient, immortal-metal-forged walls, exuding an aura of solemn grandeur.

The sheer scale of Seven Stars Immortal City was staggering—vast as an ocean, boundless as the heavens. Though merely a city, it felt like an entire world, stretching beyond sight.

A true masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, radiating an immortal’s majesty.

"Move. Into the city," Gu Qingfeng commanded.

His lackeys immediately began pulling the chariot toward the city gates.

The closer they got, the more overwhelming the city’s majesty became. The walls alone stood like celestial pillars, towering beyond sight. The gates loomed like the legendary Southern Heavenly Gate, reducing all who passed beneath them to insignificance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The area outside the gates bustled with activity as beams of immortal light streaked through the void at blinding speeds.

Yet, miraculously, every single one slowed down upon reaching the city entrance, stopping to proceed on foot.

"Master, flying is forbidden in Seven Stars Immortal City," one of his lackeys explained.

"Even Great Luo Golden Immortals must abide by this rule—or face suppression by the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom."

Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly. "Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom? Why isn’t a treasure like the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone controlled by an Immortal King faction?"

"Master, precisely because the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone is so invaluable, the major Immortal King factions fought over it. After numerous battles and negotiations, they finally agreed to entrust its management to the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom, with the condition that only cultivators below the Great Luo realm may enter, allowing the younger generation to compete for the opportunity. The Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom’s ruler is a Quasi-Immortal King, standing at the pinnacle below true Immortal Kings, making them the ideal candidate in both strength and legitimacy.

"Since taking charge, the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom has hosted the Seven Stars Assembly every ten thousand years, inviting prodigies from across the heavens. Even disciples of Immortal King factions participate."

Gu Qingfeng nodded, now fully understanding the origins of the Seven Stars Assembly. With so many prodigies gathered here, information would flow freely—a perfect chance to inquire about the whereabouts of the Tear of the Stars.

As they spoke, his golden war chariot finally reached the city gates.

The area teemed with immortals, packed like fish in a river. Some rode in luxurious carriages, others atop divine beasts or spirit birds, each radiating dazzling immortal light, a spectacle of grandeur.

Gu Qingfeng’s eyes burned with envy. He glanced at his own golden war chariot and couldn’t help but feel disgusted. This thing was something he’d brought from the lower realm—top-tier back then, but now, in the upper world, it was downright shabby.

Like comparing a bicycle to a luxury car.

A man who valued face as much as he did—when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

New chariot. Absolutely necessary. The moment he entered the city, he was buying one.

But the thought of spending money made his heart ache. His gaze drifted to the towering city walls, their surfaces gleaming with dark golden light.

They were built from immortal stones, each meticulously refined and inscribed with arrays and runes—each one priceless.

And these walls, constructed from countless such stones, stretched endlessly into the horizon. If converted into immortal jade, their value would be incalculable—a true "fortune enough to buy a city."

At this thought, a faint crimson demonic light flickered in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.

One day… this city would bear the name "Gu."
