Chapter 120 Stars, Why Do You Blink?

"His words were a bit arrogant, but he had the right to be arrogant."

“He came from an unknown place called Xiaomengshan, where he was protected by ancient gods, favored by the God of Heaven, and greatly cultivated by the Divine Dynasty.”

"Although he has not been a practitioner for long, he has already reached the third level of the Divine Ascension Realm, and it is rumored that he is about to achieve Great Perfection. The cultivation method he practices is the Divine Scroll Innate."

The Goddess of Langya sighed with emotion. This was a genius being heavily cultivated by the Divine Dynasty, with a limitless future ahead of him. It was only natural for him to be arrogant.

“Oh, the son of my traitorous slave, just in time to kill the traitorous slave.”

Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly, speaking casually.

"You're Liu Chengfeng—"

The Goddess of Langya paused for a moment, then suddenly made the connection.

Because Zhao Tian ordered the killing of a man named Liu Chengfeng, she had never connected the two.

"You are truly remarkable, with an unfathomable family background. Zhao Tian is of little importance."

Li Daniu immediately became awestruck, his admiration flowing like a mighty river.

"Okay, okay."

Liu Chengfeng was both amused and exasperated, and interrupted his flattery.

"Zhao Tian will definitely seek revenge on you."

The Goddess of Langya gave a reminder.

Zhao Tian has reached the third level of godhood, making him even stronger than his siblings.

"Then let him come—"

Liu Chengfeng's eyes were like a tiger's, radiating murderous intent.

The Divine Child of Langya returned quickly.

"It's done—"

The Divine Child of Langya brought back the Sovereign's Token and handed it to Liu Chengfeng.

From this moment on, Liu Chengfeng is the ruler of Juling Peak Heaven.

"So easy? No questioning? No summons?"

Liu Chengfeng was surprised that the position of ruler came too easily; something was amiss.

"No--"

The Divine Son of Langya was also puzzled. He hadn't even seen Empress Yin, yet the matter was already settled. Empress Yin, Miaofengtian, hadn't even checked the protective token of the Giant Spirit God.

They directly let Liu Chengfeng take over the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven.

This puzzled the Divine Child of Langya. Wasn't the Empress Yin being far too domineering? Was the work of the main god always so simple and unadorned?
Upon seeing the talisman, Li Daniu bowed deeply, showing even greater respect.

"Has the Queen Mother said when I may have an audience with her?"

Liu Chengfeng's greatest desire was to see Empress Yin, for only by seeing her could he find out her true nature.

"The message has been sent that if you can rebuild Giant Spirit Peak Heaven, you will be granted an audience."

The Divine Child of Langya relayed a message.

"Damn, how am I supposed to build it? Isn't this just freeloading?"

Looking at the collapsed Giant Spirit Peak, Liu Chengfeng wondered how he was going to manage such a massive project.
The Divine Son of Langya didn't care about any of that. He grabbed his sister and ran away. They had inexplicably become errand runners. If they stayed any longer, they would become Liu Chengfeng's wet nurses.

"Brother Golden Melon, Sister Golden Robe, how can I possibly manage such a huge peak all by myself?"

The Langya Divine Child and his sister wanted to run away, which gave Liu Chengfeng a headache; he wanted to run away with them.

"You also govern three ancient kingdoms; if you need anything, go to them."

The Divine Son of Langya didn't care about any of that and didn't want to stay a moment longer.

"When can I see my older brother and sister?"

Liu Chengfeng didn't want to let these useful people escape.

"Keep in touch if needed."

The Prince of Langya left with a polite remark and fled with his sister.

"I don't eat people."

Seeing how quickly the Langya Divine Child siblings escaped, Liu Chengfeng scoffed.

Looking at the massive Giant Spirit Peak, Liu Chengfeng was also at a loss. The entire giant city was suspended in the sky, and apart from him and Li Daniu, there was no one else.

Moreover, the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven is on the verge of collapse at any moment, so his title of ruler is merely nominal.

What are the stories behind the three ancient kingdoms?

Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to ask Li Daniu.

"My Lord, our Giant Spirit Peak Heaven has three ancient kingdoms: Xuanwu, Luming, and Lie Rong. I am from the ancient kingdom of Lie Rong."

"Then what's going on with you? Why are you guarding the Palace of Domination all by yourself?"

Liu Chengfeng glanced at him. Li Daniu, as a first-level demigod, would be a genius in any ancient country.

"My ancestor was once a member of the royal family of the Lie Rong Kingdom. Later, the kingdom declined and he was appointed to abdicate. After I achieved some success in my cultivation, the Rongquan Emperor sent me to guard the main hall."

Li Daniu carefully explained his situation to Liu Chengfeng.

Li Daniu's ancestor was the emperor of the Lierong Kingdom. Later, the royal family declined, and he was appointed by the Giant Spirit God to abdicate.

Li Daniu is highly talented, his ancestral blood has been awakened, and he has great potential. He has cultivated to become a first-level demigod.

In the end, however, he was sent by the Rongquan Emperor to guard the Sovereign Palace, but Giant Spirit Peak Heaven was already an empty city.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengfeng immediately understood that the Rongquan Emperor feared that Li Daniu would seize the throne once he became powerful, since the power of the Lierong Ancient Kingdom had once been held by Li Daniu and his ancestors.

"Can the throne be designated?"

Liu Chengfeng was also surprised that the ruler of Giant Spirit Peak Heaven had such great power.

"My Lord, the three ancient kingdoms are all under your rule, and you can control everything in the three ancient kingdoms."

Li Daniu honestly told the truth.

"Alright, go and summon the emperors of the three ancient kingdoms to pay their respects. I have something for them to do."

Liu Chengfeng gave instructions to Li Daniu.

He couldn't build the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven on his own; he would have to mobilize all the resources and manpower of the three ancient kingdoms.

Li Daniu responded and left.

Liu Chengfeng settled in the Sovereign's Palace, activated the celestial bodies, and explored the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven.

Giant Spirit Peak Heaven is not only this giant city in the sky, but also the three ancient kingdoms under its jurisdiction.

The territory of the entire Peak Heaven is extremely vast. Even though Liu Chengfeng is now much stronger and his perception is like a vast ocean, it is impossible for him to explore the entire Giant Spirit Peak Heaven in a short period of time.

Open your senses to the fullest, listen to the heavens and earth, and all sounds resound and flood your mind.

Countless sounds rose and fell: insects and snakes conversed, ancient temples whispered, and old streets complained…

All kinds of voices were heard.

Liu Chengfeng discarded useless words and filtered out all the whispers and conversations.

Ultimately, three voices caught Liu Chengfeng's attention.

"Stars, why do you blink?"

A voice echoed between heaven and earth.

At first, Liu Chengfeng couldn't find where the sound came from, nor did it appear in his mind.

It seems like you can hear this sound everywhere.

Finally, Liu Chengfeng realized that the sound was coming from the sky.

At that moment, a star came to mind.

"Stars, why do you blink?"

This star is talking to itself in the starry sky.

"Aren't you a star? Don't you know why you blink?"

The star kept singing this phrase, which made Liu Chengfeng very curious.

"I'm talking about another star."

The star in the sky seemed to look down on Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng activated his full senses and peered into the starry sky, but found no second star.

"Your senses aren't strong enough. You're weak. You need to keep practicing."

The star looked somewhat disdainful.

"Damn, you know about this kind of supernatural power of mine?"

This was the first time Liu Chengfeng had encountered such a being, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

The star glanced at him, making a fuss over nothing.

"Master, what else do you know?"

Liu Chengfeng was very devout and sought guidance from the star.

"He knows everything about astronomy and geography; he is omniscient and omnipotent." This star's boasting is so convincing that everyone believes it.

"Then let me ask you something: do you know about the Queen of the Underworld? Do you know her background?"

"Get lost. Human affairs are fleeting, not worth my time."

This star is proud.

"Tell me what the expert knows."

Liu Chengfeng was very curious, as it was the first time he had ever heard stars speak.

"There's a treasure mine on the east mountain, and the west mountain is about to collapse. Do you know that there used to be a city near the burial site..."

Once the star started talking about what it knew, it became quite talkative.

What I'm talking about are all changes in the earth, the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields, and the changes over millions or tens of millions of years.

By the end, Liu Chengfeng was about to doze off, because what he wanted to know was not the changes in the mountains and seas.

"Get lost. If you don't want to listen, fine. You can listen later."

Liu Chengfeng listened absentmindedly, which enraged the star.

"I will definitely listen carefully to the master's teachings next time."

Liu Chengfeng was sincere and hurriedly apologized.

The star snorted coldly and shut its mouth.

Another voice also piqued Liu Chengfeng's interest.

"Ten thousand sands bury the immortal boat, guarding against a thousand prison tribulations!"

The voice is incredibly powerful when it's sung.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengfeng perked up.

"What kind of immortal ship is it? What is the Thousand Prisons Tribulation?"

Liu Chengfeng pressed for more information.

"Why should I tell you?"

The sound rang out, and a handful of yellow earth flashed through my mind.

"Was that you singing just now?"

Liu Chengfeng was dumbfounded. The domineering words he had just heard made him imagine a scene of lone smoke rising straight from the desert and the setting sun over a long river.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just a handful of yellow earth.

"Why, can't it?"

Feeling looked down upon by Liu Chengfeng, the pile of yellow earth suddenly became angry, like an angry girl, hands on hips, about to give Liu Chengfeng a good scolding.

"Oh, that's not what I meant. It was my fault."

Liu Chengfeng immediately apologized, saying he shouldn't have judged people by their appearance.

Uh, no, I mean judging a book by its cover.

Liu Chengfeng apologized, which finally calmed the anger of the pile of yellow earth.

"Tell me, where is the Immortal Ship buried, and what is the Thousand Prison Tribulation?"

Liu Chengfeng believed that what it said contained a huge secret.

Why should I tell you?

This handful of yellow earth is also a source of pride.

"It's fate that we met, isn't it? You've sung for countless years, but no one could hear you. I can hear you, isn't that destiny?"

Liu Chengfeng patiently and persuasively coaxed her, like a strange uncle trying to abduct a little girl.

“Come to the burial site, and I will tell you.”

Yizhuo thought it made sense, and after considering it for a while, he agreed.

"Damn, are you kidding me?"

Liu Chengfeng flatly refused, saying that the burial site was outside the Heavenly Gate and was an extremely dangerous place.

"If you're not coming, then forget it."

Even a handful of yellow earth is arrogant and disdainful.

Liu Chengfeng sensed something was wrong. His senses were exploring the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven, but he hadn't even finished exploring all nine peak heavens yet.

How could we possibly discover a burial ground?

Something's not right; this clump of yellow earth isn't at the burial site.

Liu Chengfeng immediately rotated Tianqiu, sensing and sweeping the surrounding area again and again, tracking this clump of yellow earth.

Persistence pays off, and Liu Chengfeng pinpointed the location of the mound of yellow earth.

"What do you want to do?"

Sensing something was wrong, he sternly rebuked Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng was startled to discover that this clump of yellow earth was in the main hall.

They immediately went to search for it and found the mound of yellow earth behind the gate of the Hall of Domination.

The loess crumbles easily when pinched, as fine as sand.

What are you?

Liu Chengfeng found it strange and tried to communicate with the pile of yellow earth using the Heavenly Hill, but there was no response.

It startled him. Had he accidentally crushed it to death?

"No way, it's that fragile?"

Liu Chengfeng collected the handful of yellow earth to see if it could be revived.

"Hmph, you bastard—"

The next day, the image of that mound of yellow earth flashed through his mind, and he cursed Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng immediately pulled out the handful of yellow soil, but it was still like sand.

The sound did not come from it.

Liu Chengfeng became even more curious and immediately rotated the celestial mound to pinpoint the location of the mound of yellow earth.

They found a handful of yellow earth at the back door of the main hall; it crumbled as easily as sand when pinched.

Liu Chengfeng put it away again.

"You bastard, if you dare come looking for me, I'll never speak to you again."

This handful of yellow earth is truly angry.

"Okay, okay, I won't look for it anymore, I'll never look for it again."

Liu Chengfeng found it very strange, and fearing that it might run away, he quickly promised not to try to locate it again.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time. I'll give you the first handful of yellow earth as a gift, and I'll keep the rest."

He was quite satisfied with the amount of loess he had collected.

Liu Chengfeng was startled to find that of the two bundles of yellow soil he had collected, only the first bundle remained; the other bundle was nowhere to be found.

What is this.

This left Liu Chengfeng bewildered and uncertain. This was definitely not as simple as a handful of yellow earth; there must be a secret behind it that he could not yet fathom.

What's in this gift?

Liu Chengfeng was curious.

"Its power is immense. If you blow it, yellow sand will fill the sky and shroud it for three days and three nights. Even a god cannot escape from it."

He was very pleased with the handful of yellow earth.

"so smart."

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine and carefully put away the handful of yellow soil, thinking that it might come in handy someday.

"And what are you then?"

Liu Chengfeng knew that its original form was definitely not a lump of yellow earth, but why would it leave behind a lump of yellow earth?

He didn't tell him with a handful of yellow earth, and remained silent.

Where is that fairy boat buried?

Liu Chengfeng changed the subject.

"Come to the burial site."

That's all there is to a handful of yellow earth.

"I'll go next time."

Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to agree; going to the burial site now would be tantamount to courting death.
