Chapter 64 Reverse Star Alliance (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

Looking at the information above, Li Shizhou's breathing became a little rapid.

Being able to freely enter and exit the Void Heaven Palace would be extremely useful, whether in the short or long term.

In the short term, he now possesses the complete "Spiritual Illumination Scripture," and if the Reverse Star Alliance becomes too aggressive and threatens his life, he can leave the Star Palace at any time.

But he has a Daoist partner, and he can't just wander around with a woman in tow. With this teleportation array, Zhuo Ruting can stay in the Void Heaven Palace first, and he won't have any worries about her.

In the long run, although the Void Heaven Palace is currently heavily guarded, as my cultivation level increases, I might one day be able to break through the restrictions and take all the treasures into my possession.

Keep in mind that they had only spent a short time at the Void Heaven Palace, yet they had already acquired eight priceless "Demon-Suppressing Grasses".

As long as you avoid the period when the Void Heaven Palace is open.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Shizhou began to scan the entire space with his divine sense.

This is a stone chamber about forty feet in length and width, filled with extremely rich spiritual energy, with an ordinary gray stone door on each side.

Before the teleportation array, there is a pool of water more than ten feet in size. The water inside is milky white and exudes mist and a faint fragrance. This is a "spiritual spring eye" that can continuously generate spiritual energy.

On the stone wall a few feet away from the pool, there is a white jade dragon head relief. Below the dragon head is a green long-necked jade bottle, which is half-filled with spiritual liquid.

Looking at the green, long-necked jade bottle, Li Shizhou's lips curled slightly, and he thought to himself, "This is the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk."

He picked it up and looked at it for a few moments, then took out two small jade bottles, removed all the millennia-old spiritual milk from them, and then put the green long-necked jade bottle back under the dragon's head.

In the original book, once a treasure within the restriction is taken from this space, the user will be teleported out of the Void Heaven Palace.

Therefore, the Soul-Nourishing Wood here can only be retrieved at a later time.

Li Shizhou carefully drew the teleportation array to enter this space on a piece of animal hide, and then knocked off a corner of the teleportation array and put it into his storage bag.

After confirming that the formation was temporarily unusable, they began to walk towards the stone wall in front and start breaking the restrictions on it.

A day later, Li Shizhou appeared on the surface of the Chaotic Star Sea and flew towards Tianxing City.

The Void Palace, radiating golden light, can still be seen in the distance behind us.

He now carried a black iron box in his arms. This object was also a storage bag-type magical artifact, containing a complete set of teleportation array setup tools, as well as related jade slips.

.

Li Shizhou originally wanted to take the contents out and put them into his own storage bag, but the teleportation array was too big and his storage bag didn't have enough space.

I can only keep the metal box in my pocket for now, and deal with it later when I get a larger capacity storage bag.

After flying for about ten thousand miles, he found a deserted island, set up an array, and successfully refined the longsword magic weapon he had obtained from the late-stage Core Formation ghost.

After some experimentation, Li Shizhou discovered that this treasure was not only extremely sharp, but also an excellent flying magic weapon.

When activated, its escape speed is more than twice as fast as that of flying with light.

Now that he has this flying magic weapon, and with the blessing of the Hidden Dragon Miasma, when he flies at full speed, cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage are extremely rare in terms of speed.

It's a pity that this was a natal magic weapon, and its power was weakened after its owner's death; otherwise, its value would have been even higher.

"Hopefully we won't encounter any Nascent Soul cultivators from the Reverse Star Alliance on the way."

After refining the longsword, Li Shizhou activated his full speed, not daring to linger for even a moment. When his mana ran out, he didn't hesitate to take out the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Elixir and consume it.

In the original book, the Reverse Star Alliance had already taken advantage of the opening of the Void Heaven Palace to launch a sneak attack on the Star Palace's territory.

When Han Laomo came out of the Void Heaven Palace and passed by Nanming Island, he happened to encounter the Reverse Star Alliance, which had occupied the island and even dispatched Nascent Soul cultivators.

It was only because Old Demon Han was a rogue cultivator that he was spared.

As a cultivator of the Star Palace, he would surely die if he encountered such a situation.

After all, the Reverse Star Alliance has many inside agents in Tianxing City, and they have information on the Core Formation cultivators of various forces. It's impossible to fool them.

Fortunately, he left the Void Heaven Palace earlier than Han Laomo. After flying at full speed for more than a month, everything was normal when he passed by Nanming Island.

Five days later, when they arrived outside Tianxing City, Li Shizhou's nerves, which had been taut for more than a month, finally relaxed.

At this time, Tianxing City was under complete martial law, and the city gates were crowded with cultivators dressed in various colors.

They need to go through several rounds of screening before they are allowed to enter the city, even Core Formation cultivators.

Although most of these monks looked dissatisfied, they all obediently cooperated when it came time for inspection.

Li Shizhou took out the jade token from inside the gate and, amidst the envious gazes of the other cultivators, easily entered the city through the exclusive passage left for the Star Palace disciples.

Not long after he went inside, someone next to him greeted him: "Senior Brother Li, what a coincidence!"

Li Shizhou turned his head and saw that it was Pei Ze, his senior brother who had gone to Changzhou Island with him to exorcise demons.

Pei is about fifty years older than him and entered the Core Formation stage in the same year, but he is still in the early stage and seems to have encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation.

"Brother Pei, it's been a long time. Where are you headed?" Li Shizhou returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"Go to the Inner Affairs Hall. The two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu, spearheaded some kind of Reverse Star Alliance and launched a surprise attack on the islands surrounding Tianxing City. Five days ago, Nanming Island fell, and the sect is organizing a counterattack. I just happened to be conscripted."

Li Shizhou was shocked to hear this. Five days ago, Nanming Island fell. It was attacked right after he left.

He felt incredibly lucky; thankfully, he wasn't the kind of person who would risk his life for money, and he had used quite a bit of the millennia-old spiritual milk along the way.

Li Shizhou also needed to report to the Imperial Household Department, so he went with Pei Ze.

Inside, he finally heard some good news: the exemption that Uncle Leng had previously granted him from conscription for the next hundred years was still valid.

But now ninety years have passed, and we must hurry to send Zhuo Ruting to the Void Heaven Palace in the remaining time.

However, there is a possibility that Nascent Soul cultivators from the Reverse Star Alliance could appear near Tianxing City at any time. We can only wait for the Star Palace to launch a counterattack and for both sides to enter a stalemate.

This great war was protracted and lasted for hundreds of years; it is no exaggeration to call it a catastrophe.

Eight years later, one night.

Zhuo Ruting leaned against Li Shizhou's chest, her face full of worry.

She said softly, "My lord, do you really want me to stay alone in this secluded place you mentioned? The Star Palace has already reclaimed a lot of lost territory, so Tianxing City should still be safe."

"The safety of Tianxing City is only temporary. Don't worry, no one will discover the place I've prepared for the next hundred years. I will come out when the time comes, and I can also go in from time to time."

In the past few days, Li Shizhou has informed Zhuo Ruting of part of his plan. Now the Star Palace has stabilized and some sea areas are still safe.

Of course, he didn't mention that he had used a teleportation array to go to the Void Heaven Palace this time.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhuo Ruting, but rather that his Daoist partner had had such a smooth life over the years and lacked shrewdness, so he was afraid that the news would leak out.

"Well, should I take all the spiritual herbs I've cultivated?"

"At this point, don't worry about such petty gains. Last time I took the cultivation technique from the Void Heaven Palace, Uncle Ximen seemed to have become suspicious. If you take away all the spiritual herbs, it will only arouse suspicion."

Zhuo Ruting nodded and replied, "Okay, Ting'er will listen to her husband."

When dawn broke, Li Shizhou left Tianxing City.

He planned to leave the city first, and after a few days, Zhuo Ruting would pretend to leave a message talisman before setting off to meet him at the agreed-upon place.

Therefore, before leaving, he left Mo Li, the beast dog, with Zhuo Ruting.

Five days later.

Li Shizhou sat cross-legged on a deserted island, his divine sense probing outwards from time to time.

Suddenly, two slender figures entered the range of divine sense.

His face turned cold, and he thought to himself, "Why did Zi Ling come along too?"
