"Senior, it's been a long time! What are you doing here?"

Su Chun asked hurriedly.

Yun Chu smiled slightly.

"This beast tide was started by me at the request of the Golden Flood Dragon King."

"What? You, why did you do this?"

Su Chun's eyes widened.

"To create an opportunity for you, Tianxing Palace is heavily defended, especially the core area, which is impossible to approach. Only a large-scale beast tide like this can draw their attention to the front line, leaving their headquarters relatively vulnerable. This is the best time to investigate the teleportation array."

Yun Chu explained,

Su Chun suddenly realized, then worriedly said, "Would the Golden Flood Dragon King agree? This beast tide is quite large; he will definitely suffer great losses."

Yun Chu smiled.

"In his eyes, it was just a matter of doing it on a whim, but I've completely captivated him."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll tell you later. The most important thing now is to seize the time. If we miss this opportunity, it will be hard to get another one."

Su Chun hesitated for a moment.

"But what about the battle here?"

"Don't worry, with a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, although the beast tide is fierce, it won't be able to break through the inner star sea's defenses in a short time. Let's go and come back quickly," Yun Chu urged.

Su Chun nodded; she knew this was a rare opportunity.

The two dared not delay and quietly left the temporary stronghold, flying towards Tianxing City.

Along the way, they avoided all the patrolling cultivators and, relying on Yun Chu's understanding of the restrictions and Su Chun's exquisite movement techniques, carefully sneaked into Tianxing City.

The closer you get to the Tianxing Palace headquarters, the more heavily guarded it becomes.

But as Yun Chu said, most of the elite troops were transferred to the front lines, and there were not many cultivators left behind.

Guided by Yun Chu, they bypassed numerous restrictions and finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Tianxing Palace headquarters.

The spiritual energy here is so rich that it almost becomes tangible, and the magnificent palaces are scattered in a well-organized manner, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

"The teleportation array is located beneath that Star Palace."

Yun Chu pointed to the tallest palace in the distance and said in a low voice.

Su Chun looked in the direction she pointed and saw that the palace was shrouded in a faint light curtain, and its defenses were extremely tight.

How do we get in?

Yun Chu took out a jade talisman from her storage bag.

"This is a barrier-breaking talisman given to me by the Golden Flood Dragon King. It can temporarily break through this defense, but it can only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. We must hurry."

She activated the jade talisman and threw it towards the light screen.

The jade talisman transformed into a golden light and disappeared into the light curtain.

The light screen rippled, and a gap the size of a person appeared.

"Go inside quickly."

The two exchanged a glance and quickly crawled inside.

The Star Palace was spacious and solemn, with a huge circular platform in the center, covered with complex runes and radiating ancient spatial fluctuations.

"This is an ancient teleportation array?"

Su Chun exclaimed in surprise.

Yun Chu nodded, walked to the center of the platform, and carefully observed the runes on it.

"That's right, it's that one. However, this teleportation array seems to be damaged and lacks an energy source."

Yun Chu frowned.

Su Chun's heart sank: "That's troublesome."

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside.

"Someone's coming, let's go quickly."

Yun Chu's expression changed.

The two did not linger and quickly left the Star Palace, returning the way they came.

Back in a safe zone, Su Chun had mixed feelings.

Although the teleportation array was found, it could not be used.

"Don't be discouraged. At least we know it's still there, and there's always a way to start it up, but that will depend on your skills."

Yun Chu patted her on the shoulder.

Su Chun nodded, but in her heart she knew that this was probably harder than climbing to heaven.

Yun Chu took out a small jade talisman from her storage bag and handed it to Su Chun.

"This is a communication jade talisman specifically for contacting me. Keep it safe. If anything happens in the future, or if you make any discoveries, you can use it to contact me."

Su Chun took the jade talisman and carefully put it away.

"Senior, what are your plans for the future?"

"I'll go back to the Golden Dragon Palace first to keep that old dragon in check and see if I can get the method and resources to activate the teleportation array from him. You should also try to improve your strength as soon as possible. You can't activate that ancient teleportation array without sufficient strength. You also need to find a way to infiltrate the Heavenly Star Palace."

Yun Chu said.

"I see."

Su Chun nodded.

"Alright, it's getting late. I'll take you back to the battlefield. We're parting ways now. Remember, be careful in everything you do."

After Yun Chu finished speaking, she quickly led Su Chun back to the vicinity of their previous temporary base.

"Take care, senior," Su Chun said.

"You too."

Yun Chu transformed into a streak of white light and swiftly disappeared into the night.

Su Chun took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the stronghold.

Back at the base, Zhao Lie and the other team members were resting. Seeing Su Chun return, Zhao Lie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fairy Su, it's good that you're alright. We got separated from you during the retreat and were worried that you were..."

"Thank you for your concern, Commander Zhao. I'm fine. I just hid in a cave and only dared to come out after the monsters retreated."

Su Chun made up an excuse.

Zhao Lie had no doubts, after all, the Inner Star Sea was in great chaos.

"That's good. We suffered heavy losses this time. Our team of ten people has been reduced to just five."

His tone was filled with sadness and helplessness.

Su Chun remained silent.

War is so cruel; people die every moment.

"Everyone, take a break and recover your strength. We don't know when the next battle will begin."

Zhao Lie said.

Everyone found a place to sit down and began to use their internal energy to heal their injuries.

Su Chun also found a corner and sat down cross-legged.

However, she did not start cultivating immediately, but instead pondered how to activate that ancient teleportation array.

She knew that this would require a lot of resources and time, and even more importantly, strong support.

With this in mind, Su Chun no longer hesitated and began to circulate her cultivation technique, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. Her Five Elements Golden Core slowly rotated, transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into her own magical power.

Time passed quietly during the cultivation, and soon it was the next day.

As dawn broke, alarms sounded outside the outpost.

"The monsters are attacking again."

Everyone immediately stood up, picked up their weapons, and prepared to fight. Su Chun also stopped cultivating, and her eyes sharpened.

She knew that a new battle had begun.

She must survive this brutal war and become stronger. Only then will she have a chance to achieve her goal and return to the homeland she longs for.

Su Chun followed the flow of people to the defensive position.

On the distant sea, a dark mass of countless demonic beasts surged toward the stronghold. This beast tide was even more ferocious than yesterday's.

"Everyone, cheer up!"

Zhao Lie roared.

Su Chun took a deep breath and activated the Mulan Water Technique at full power.

The seawater in front of her instantly boiled, forming huge waves that swept towards the monster.

The battle resumed, with shouts of battle, explosions, and screams mingling together, plunging the entire stronghold into chaos.

Su Chun continuously unleashed spells, killing the charging demonic beasts. Her magical power was rapidly depleting, but she dared not slacken her efforts in the slightest.

Just then, several powerful seventh-tier demonic beasts reappeared from the beast tide and charged towards the defensive position.

"Damn it, it's a seventh-tier demonic beast."

Someone exclaimed.

Zhao Lie's expression changed, and he immediately led several Core Formation cultivators to meet them.

Without hesitation, Su Chun wielded the Moon Soul Sword and charged towards a seventh-tier octopus.

The Moon Soul Sword exuded a chilling aura. With a single slash, a massive icy blue sword aura flew towards the octopus.

The octopus let out a hiss, its huge tentacles waving as it blocked the sword energy.
