A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

"Senior, how did you manage to get so many good things?"

"The Golden Dragon King grants my every request."

Yun Chu replied in a calm tone.

Su Chun was touched, but also somewhat worried.

"Then what will you do? Won't the Golden Flood Dragon King become suspicious?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

A sly glint flashed in Yun Chu's eyes.

"This old dragon is infatuated with me. Giving me a few things is nothing. But you, you shouldn't stay here any longer. I'll find a chance to send you away."

Su Chun was taken aback.

"Leave? What will you do if I leave?"

"I'm safer here."

Yun Chu replied calmly.

"After you leave, find a place to cultivate in peace and strive to break through to the mid-stage or even late-stage Core Formation as soon as possible. When the opportunity comes, I will come to find you."

Su Chun wanted to say something, but Yun Chu interrupted her.

"Your presence here won't be of any help, and you might even expose yourself."

In the following days, Yun Chu secretly began preparing for Su Chun's departure.

She used the excuse that she needed a kind of spiritual herb that only grows in shallow seas to get the Golden Dragon King to send his men out to sea to find it.

Although the Golden Dragon King was reluctant, he still agreed.

On a dark and windy night, taking advantage of the Golden Flood Dragon King's handling of clan affairs, Yun Chu took Su Chun away from the Dragon Palace and arrived at the border between the Outer Star Sea and the Inner Star Sea.

"Alright, let's go."

Su Chun was at a loss for words and could only bow to Yun Chu.

"Senior, please take care. Hope we meet again someday."

"Go, and remember, don't give up hope."

Yun Chu waved her hand, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

Su Chun gave Yun Chu a deep look, then transformed into a streak of light and flew away at top speed.

Yun Chu looked at Su Chun, who had already disappeared, and sighed.

Just as the aura of the Golden Flood Dragon King arrived, she saw that the Golden Flood Dragon King had appeared behind her at some unknown time.

But she didn't seem surprised at all.

"Fairy, I have fulfilled your request."

The Golden Flood Dragon King smiled as he looked in the direction where Su Chun had disappeared.

Yun Chu nodded.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

The Golden Flood Dragon King had already discovered Su Chun, but he knew that a human female cultivator who could be protected by Yun Chu within her inner space must have a relationship with her that was definitely not simple.

Of course, he first noticed that Yun Chu kept finding excuses to ask him for some materials, and that's when he realized something was wrong. So he carefully observed Yun Chu's condition and discovered that there was someone hiding inside Yun Chu's body.

But he didn't care. As long as he could please Yun Chu, what did it matter if he let go of a mere Core Formation stage female cultivator?

Chapter 150 Settling in Tianxing City

Su Chun transformed into a streak of blue light, speeding across the sea shrouded in night.

The salty sea breeze blew in her face, carrying the unique chill of the deep sea, but it could not dispel the complex emotions in her heart.

The scene of parting with Yun Chu was still vivid in her mind. The Nascent Soul demon who had lived for thousands of years was now like an ordinary woman seeing off a friend, with clear reluctance and worry in her eyes.

"Senior, please take care. We hope to meet again someday."

Su Chun said silently in her heart.

She understood that Yun Chu chose to stay in the Golden Dragon Palace not only to use its resources to recover from her injuries, but also to temporarily appease the sea monster overlord who was "infatuated" with her.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have had a chance to escape.

Or rather, Yun Chu couldn't get away with her.

Besides, someone has to go to the Heavenly Star Palace to investigate, at least to verify what the Golden Dragon King said.

The Golden Flood Dragon King's words about the ancient teleportation array in the Heavenly Star Palace leading to the Great Jin Dynasty were like a ray of dawn in the darkness, illuminating Su Chun and Yun Chu's hope of returning to their homeland.

Despite the slim chances and the thorny path ahead, they will not give up as long as there is even the slightest possibility.

They flew in silence, with Su Chun flying at full speed, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The Golden Dragon Palace is located deep within the Chaotic Star Sea, quite a distance from the core area of ​​the Inner Star Sea, Tianxing City. Relying solely on its own flying skills and familiarity with the Chaotic Star Sea, it operates by hiding during the day and venturing out at night, carefully avoiding several dangerous monster lairs and cultivator gathering points.

Several days later, the outline of an enormous island appeared at the horizon, like a giant beast lurking in the sea.

Above the island, the spiritual energy was so dense that it was almost tangible, with faint radiance flowing around it. Countless points of light, like stars, shuttled through the sky above the island; these were the spiritual lights of cultivators flying on their magical artifacts.

This is the headquarters of the Heavenly Star Palace, the most powerful human force in the Chaotic Star Sea. I've been to Heavenly Star City before, but it was too rushed to really explore the place properly.

Now, the feeling is different.

The closer you get to Tianxing City, the more ships there are on the sea, and powerful cultivators of all kinds can be seen everywhere.

Su Chun concealed her aura and suppressed her cultivation level to the late Foundation Establishment stage. The Core Formation stage was too conspicuous, and she didn't want to be targeted. So she discreetly blended into a group of merchant caravan cultivators heading to Tianxing City and slowly approached.

The port of Tianxing City was more magnificent than any city Su Chun had ever seen.

The massive dock extends into the sea, where countless ships of various shapes and sizes are moored, from ordinary wooden merchant ships to multi-story ships that shimmer with forbidden light, and even several giant warships that are hundreds of feet long and resemble sea fortresses, flying the star flags of the Heavenly Star Palace and exuding a heart-palpitating pressure.

The port was heavily guarded, with each guard a Foundation Establishment cultivator, their eyes sharp as eagles, carefully scrutinizing everyone entering Tianxing City.

"Ah! Last time I came and went in a hurry, without having a chance to properly appreciate the number one city in the Chaotic Star Sea. This time I came with a different mindset, and the feeling is completely different."

After entering Tianxing City, Su Chun sighed slightly.

However, Su Chun was not blinded by the prosperity before her. She knew that the more prosperous a place was, the more likely it was to be a place teeming with hidden dangers.

She needed to find a safe place to stay as soon as possible, and then begin to inquire about the Heavenly Star Palace and the ancient teleportation array.

She did not choose to live in the area where monks gathered, as it was convenient but too noisy and would attract attention.

What she needs is a relatively quiet place where she won't be disturbed.

After making some inquiries, Su Chun arrived at the edge of Tianxing City, the mortal area.

Unlike the bustling and noisy monks' quarters, the mortal quarters were relatively quiet.

The buildings here are mostly made of wood, and the people walking on the streets are mostly ordinary mortals, as well as some low-level rogue cultivators with low cultivation levels.

Although the spiritual energy in the air is far less concentrated than in the cultivator area, it is more peaceful.

Su Chun wandered around the mortal district a few times, and finally found a two-story wooden building with a small courtyard deep in a relatively quiet alley.

The small building looks quite old, but it's kept clean and tidy, and there are a few ordinary flowers and plants in the yard.

The owner of the house is an old woman with gray hair. It is said that her son was once a monk who went out to train many years ago and disappeared, leaving her alone to guard this old house.

When Su Chun proposed to buy it, the old woman only remained silent for a moment before agreeing, and her asking price was very fair.

Su Chun bought the small courtyard with a small amount of spirit stones and added some daily necessities, thus having a home of her own in this huge city.

Standing in the courtyard, looking at the patch of sky cut off by the tall buildings above her, Su Chun let out a long sigh of relief.

After such a long and arduous journey, she can finally stop for a while, sort out her thoughts, and plan her future path.

In the days that followed, Su Chun lived a relatively peaceful life.

Every morning she would cultivate in the small courtyard, or she might change into an ordinary blue cloth dress and wander around the streets and alleys of Tianxing City like an ordinary rogue cultivator.

She wandered through the city's various markets, bookstores, and teahouses, silently observing how the city operated and collecting all sorts of information.

She discovered that Tianxing City was extremely strictly managed and had strict laws, but it was also relatively fair; as long as you had the ability, you could gain a place here.

Su Chun also found out quite a bit about Tianxing Palace.

As the overlord of the Chaotic Star Sea, the Heavenly Star Palace possesses unfathomable strength. It is said that it is guarded by two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, who are known as the Twin Saints of the Star Palace. In addition to them, there are numerous Nascent Soul cultivators and over a hundred Core Formation cultivators.

The Heavenly Star Palace controls the richest resources in the Chaotic Star Sea, including spiritual veins, mineral veins, entrances to secret realms, and most importantly, ancient teleportation arrays.

However, specific information about the ancient teleportation array is extremely scarce.

Su Chun subtly inquired with many people, and the answers were all similar: there was indeed a teleportation array located in the core area of ​​the Heavenly Star Palace, heavily guarded, and those who were not core disciples or had made significant contributions to the sect could not get close at all.

Moreover, activating the teleportation array requires an astronomical amount of spirit stones and rare materials, which even the Heavenly Star Palace itself would not easily use.

"It seems that getting in touch with that teleportation array is more difficult than we imagined."

Su Chun sat in a corner of a teahouse, listening to the loud discussions of the cultivators at the next table, and thought to himself.

Several cultivators at the next table were discussing the upcoming entrance examination for the Heavenly Star Palace.

"Have you heard? Next month is the once-in-a-century entrance examination for the Heavenly Star Palace. As long as you pass the examination, you can become a disciple of the Heavenly Star Palace and rise to the top in one step."

"Tch, it's not that easy. The Heavenly Star Palace's assessment is notoriously difficult. It's said that tens of thousands of cultivators participate in the assessment every year, but only a few dozen can ultimately remain."

"We should give it a try! Once you become a disciple of the Heavenly Star Palace, you'll not only get access to top-tier cultivation resources, but you'll also have the opportunity to learn the Heavenly Star Palace's supreme secret techniques!"

Su Chun's heart stirred.

Joining the Celestial Star Palace? This might be the only way to get close to the ancient teleportation array at present.

She carefully weighed the pros and cons.

Joining the Heavenly Star Palace does indeed provide access to better cultivation resources and core secrets, but it also means being bound by the sect and potentially getting involved in its internal power struggles.

"It seems I need to make some proper plans."

Su Chun put down her teacup, got up, and left the teahouse.

Back in the courtyard, Su Chun locked herself in her room and began sorting through the treasures she had brought from the Golden Dragon Palace.

The five types of longevity-enhancing spiritual materials are exactly the treasures she needs to break through to the mid-stage of Core Formation, but she doesn't need them yet.
