Should Old Monkey go with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need,” Su Chen smiled and shook his head. “It’s that Marshal I met at the banquet—I promised him I’d patrol the Tianhe River with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, go on your own,” Sun Wukong waved his hand carelessly. “If anyone dares to bully you, come back and tell Old Monkey—I’ll storm their doorstep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Brother Monkey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen replied, then turned and left the Great Sage’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rode the clouds, flying steadily toward the direction of the Tianhe River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianhe River was a celestial barrier of the Heavenly Court, stretching through the thirty-three heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its waters were no ordinary water—they were Ruoshui; ordinary immortals could only unleash six or seven tenths of their spiritual power within it, while Tianpeng could unleash twelve tenths, which was why he commanded the Tianhe River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headquarters of the Tianhe River Army was stationed in a special star region, far from the Heavenly Court’s center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flying for about half an hour, Su Chen finally saw, in the distance, a vast expanse of encampments floating above a glittering star-river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Tianhe River Army’s main camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he even drew near, a chilling, blood-soaked aura slammed into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless celestial soldiers clad in silver armor patrolled the camp’s interior and perimeter, wielding long halberds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere here was utterly unlike the serene, ethereal tranquility found elsewhere in the Heavenly Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What an impressive Tianhe River Army—truly the Heavenly Court’s elite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen silently praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he neared the camp’s gate, two squads of celestial soldiers blocked his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you? This is a restricted zone of the Tianhe River Army—no unauthorized entry!” The lead celestial general’s voice boomed like a bell, his gaze sharp as he fixed Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen remained calm, bowing respectfully: “I am Daoist Su Chen, Chief Advisor of the Great Sage’s residence, here by Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng’s order to pay my respects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The general studied him, noting his extraordinary bearing; though merely a Human Immortal in cultivation, he showed no fear before the camp’s lethal aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, you’re the Marshal’s guest. Please wait—I’ll notify him at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the general returned, his demeanor far more respectful: “Chief Advisor, the Marshal requests your presence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen followed the general into the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, Su Chen realized the camp was far larger than it had appeared from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the training ground, tens of thousands of celestial soldiers drilled in formation, their shouts shaking the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements were perfectly synchronized; the collective aura they emitted coalesced into a terrifying pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen was secretly startled—these soldiers, whose cultivation was lower than his own, could, when united in formation, force even a Heaven Immortal to yield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the central command tent, Su Chen saw Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Tianpeng wore no banquet finery; instead, he donned a sleek black armor that accentuated his already imposing frame, making him appear even more majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated on the main seat, his face bore no trace of the drunken grin from the feast—only the stern authority of a long-standing commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Su Chen, you’re here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Chen, Tianpeng’s sternness vanished instantly, replaced by a warm smile as he rose to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your humble servant greets the Marshal,” Su Chen bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bah, I’ve told you a hundred times—we’re brothers. Call me nothing but ‘brother.’” Tianpeng affectionately gripped Su Chen’s arm and led him to a seat. “Today I’m patrolling the Tianhe River—you’ve come at the perfect time. Come, let’s go together. We’ll talk as we walk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two boarded the largest Tianhe River warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warship slowly set off, gliding into the vast main channel of the Tianhe River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing beside him, Tianpeng pointed to a distant star radiating a cold, clear light: “Brother Su Chen, look—there, that’s the Taiyin Star.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen followed his gaze and saw a massive silver star, quietly suspended among the myriad celestial bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It emitted a soft yet icy glow—that was the Moon, the Taiyin Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly a magnificent place,” Su Chen remarked, then shifted his gaze to Tianpeng, feigning concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marshal, forgive my frankness, but just watching from afar won’t do us any good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” Tianpeng perked up. “How so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s like looking at someone through a gauze veil—you can never see clearly,” Su Chen explained. “We must draw closer—ideally, meet the Chang’e Immortal. Only then can I devise a plan truly capable of winning her heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianpeng found this reasonable, but his expression darkened: “Brother, I’d love to get closer, but the Heavenly Rules are strict. The Taiyin Star is the sacred retreat of the Taiyin Star Lord—designated a forbidden zone. No ordinary immortal or deity may approach. If my warship ventures too close and is spotted by the Celestial Patrol, and word reaches the Jade Emperor, it’ll be a serious problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen patted Tianpeng’s arm, lowering his voice and coaxing gently: “Marshal, that’s not right. We’re not breaking in—just drifting slightly closer to the edge, to feel the aura. What’s that called? It’s risking everything for love! For your lifelong happiness, this tiny risk is worth it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, who are you? You’re the Commander of a hundred thousand celestial troops! In your own jurisdiction, adjusting your patrol route slightly—who dares complain? Who dares question you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flattered by Su Chen’s words, Tianpeng’s lingering fear of the Heavenly Rules vanished, drowned out by his longing for the Chang’e Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine! I’ll follow your advice, brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and roared to the messenger behind him: “Issue my order—the warship advances toward the Taiyin Star!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marshal, but this…” the messenger hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Execute the order!” Tianpeng glared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Marshal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The messenger dared not speak further and immediately relayed the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive warship slowly turned its bow within the Tianhe River and sailed toward the cold, silver star.\u003C\u002Fp>",1189,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4d893ba1c747bddd1a887a2989e3a174965d1113a29aec342a96aff3765fc2b0","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-72","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-70",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
