"Where did this bewitching wind come from?"

Liang Yi shivered inexplicably, feeling a sudden chill beneath him.

"Sister Pang, what's happening to Brother Wang?" A few disciples, who seemed to belong to the Inner Sect, hesitated as they observed the clearly troubled Wang Fuxian.

"Brother Wang has encountered a bit of trouble; I need to take him to the Star Palace," Pang Qingshi naturally would not foolishly voice her suspicions in such a public setting.

Without evidence, not to mention it could cause unnecessary panic.

"Oh."

The disciples noticed the strange atmosphere, though they were still puzzled—why did Brother Zhou Yu, who usually had a good relationship with Brother Wang, now seem so cold and indifferent, picking up Brother Wang as if he was carrying a dead pig?

But their status was not high enough to warrant answers to their questions, so after briefly greeting and glancing a few more times at Liang Yi, they turned and flew away.

"Let's go." Pang Qingshi had no intention of staying here any longer—staying longer made it easier for others to detect something amiss.

"Alright." Liang Yi and the others were naturally easy-going, following Pang Qingshi's lead, transforming into streams of light and merging into the flow of stars, entering the vast starry Heavenly Realm of Senluo Wanxiang Sect.

Even though many places looked identical, Liang Yi, upon closer observation, still noticed subtle differences between the two sects.

The Sect Protection Array of the Complete Heaven Sect was based on the stars that spread across the sect, connecting peak by peak to form the array.

By contrast, Senluo Wanxiang Sect's array was woven like a net from countless Star Palaces, forming a Sect Protection Array that shared the same origin with Complete Heaven Sect but differed fundamentally.

"How powerful!" Su Youyi marveled at the beautiful scenery, her mind occupied with other thoughts.

"Mhm." Even without speaking her thoughts aloud, Liang Yi instantly understood what his junior sister was implying and nodded in agreement.

Senluo Wanxiang Sect and Complete Heaven Sect had developed after their separation into two of the most powerful sects of the time. Should they reunite, how powerful would they be?

Surely the unmatched number one sect in the world?

Old Master Orange wasn't interested in the strength of the sect; instead, it was captivated by the pair of star-fish swimming leisurely in the heaven above, licking its chops and lifting its head.

Zhou Yuqing silently followed next to Liang Yi. From the moment she entered Senluo Wanxiang Sect, she had been quietly marked by several faint presences that made no attempt to conceal themselves.

She knew that Pang Qingshi did not recognize her because of her youth, but a sect was never lacking old figures.

Moreover, she was hardly an unknown figure, being the highly acknowledged Third Princess of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty.

And previously, during the battle at Qingliang City, she had revealed her power of the Vermilion Bird before the eyes of the public. Now in Senluo Wanxiang Sect, her Vermilion Bird aura could not be concealed from the masters of this place.

The space in the starry Heavenly Realm spanned wide and contained all sorts of mysteries. Although Liang Yi felt his flying speed was only average, the distance they covered within the time of an incense stick was extremely far.

"We've arrived." Pang Qingshi's cool voice rang out, revealing before Liang Yi and the others a grand hall where the light of numerous stars converged, magnificent and resplendent.

"Got to say, the presence of Senluo Wanxiang Sect is truly remarkable!" Liang Yi had seen this great hall in his previous life, but even now, witnessing it for the first time with his own eyes, he felt utterly astounded.

Compared to Complete Heaven Sect's bare mountain, it definitely had a presence.

The grand doors of the Star Palace opened without a hint of wind, and as Liang Yi and the others stepped onto the staircase, the doors had already begun to slowly part.

The starlight of the heavens converged here, their unpredictable light illuminating everyone's faces. It was the first time Su Youyi and Grandpa Orange laid eyes on this scene, and their faces showed nothing but curiosity.

Only Pang Qingshi and Lu Shanxing were unfazed, if anything, exhibiting a hint of helplessness.

As they entered the hall and progressed further, what was originally pitch-black above the hall was gradually filled with light. It was only then that Liang Yi realized that the ceiling bore the patterns of eleven Star Palaces.

As the light grew brighter, Su Youyi and Grandpa Orange belatedly discovered that these eleven Star Palaces were not murals carved into the ceiling, but a projection of the myriad stars of the Heavenly Realm right here!

Grandpa Orange even found the two swimming stars that he had seen before within the projection above, and they even blinked at him!

It turned out that this Star Palace they were in, named the Converging Star Palace, was precisely the location amongst the twelve palaces that constituted the Mountain Protection Array.

Zhou Yuqing also glanced solemnly at the eleven star projections above; several of the presences that had been monitoring her before had come from these Star Palaces, with the strongest emanating from the Converging Star Palace they were currently in.

And the master of the Converging Star Palace could be guessed by anyone—it was none other than the lord of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect!

"Qingshi, bring them here." An ancient voice resonated in everyone's ears,

The Star Map that had just been blocking the way unfolded slowly, with stars surging and coalescing into a starry path beneath their feet, extending deep into the starry sky.

Without a word, Pang Qingshi and Lu Shanxing silently led Liang Yi and the others along the starry path.

Walking on the star path, an incomparable, rich, and pure spiritual power washed over their bodies. This spiritual power also contained the unique force of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect, making everyone feel lighter. It was as if a thick fog had been lifted from their eyes, and their Divine Souls became clearer.

After taking several dozen steps, the view brightened before Liang Yi's eyes, and the surroundings were instantly illuminated.

They had reached the end of the star path, only to be greeted by a river formed by the convergence of starlight. Was this also the inherited legendary treasure of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect, the top-tier Immortal Treasure for divining the Heavenly Mechanism: Star River!

Liang Yi and Su Youyi stared a bit too long, and their once clear Divine Souls now seemed to be covered once again by a thin fog, and they felt somewhat dizzy.

They couldn't quite tell if the river before them was flat or three-dimensional, feeling as if it was everywhere, above and below. And although they had only glanced at it a few times even without extending their Divine Souls, beyond an inexplicable insight, they also faintly felt danger lurking in their hearts.

Zhou Yuqing gently patted Liang Yi and Su Youyi's shoulders with her hands, pulling them out of that strange sensation.

"Ding! Observing [Star River] has improved the sword move [Southern Dipper]!"

Liang Yi's vision cleared, and a notification from the System echoed in his mind.

Despite being impressed with the incredible intuition, he dared not look at the dazzling Star River of this world anymore.

Beside him, Su Youyi also appeared pensive, clearly having gained some new insights from the Star River as well.

Pang Qingshi, who was ahead of the two, nodded slightly at Liang Yi and the others' reactions. Besides the instructions from her master, she had also wanted to see if the rumors that both of the Banished Immortal's disciples were prodigies were true.

Now it seemed, the rumors were indeed true.

"Hum!"

A faint humming sound arose
