Chapter 74

~7 min read 1,230 words

Su Chen looked at his useless appearance and thought to himself: "Where is the majestic Heavenly River Marshal, this is clearly a young boy who has just fallen in love."

He cleared his throat and began to plan for Tianpeng.

"Marshal, do you remember what I told you before?"

"Remember, remember, send warmth, send sincerity," Marshal Tianpeng nodded repeatedly.

"Right!" Su Chen snapped his fingers. "Now, this is the time for you to express your sincerity. Don't send those rare treasures of yours, and don't mention your status as a Marshal. Now, just pretend you are an ordinary person passing by who was attracted by the fairy's dancing posture."

"You walk up, don't be too frivolous, and don't be too reserved. Just chat with her with an appreciative, equal attitude."

"Chat? Chat about what?" Marshal Tianpeng looked blank.

"Chat about things she hasn't heard of!" Su Chen guided him step by step. "Think about it, how many years has she stayed in this Guanghan Palace? Facing this cold palace every day, besides the laurel tree on the Lunar Star, she must have been bored for a long time."

"You just chat with her about the mortal world, chat about the love and hate of mortals, and tell her a few love stories from the mortal world that I told you."

Su Chen had told Marshal Tianpeng the classic love stories he knew from his previous life before.

"Marshal, just talking is not enough. Now, the opportunity is right in front of you, you must seize it," Su Chen patted his shoulder and encouraged him.

"Good!" Marshal Tianpeng took a deep breath, made up his mind, tidied his clothes, and was about to walk out.

But after taking one step, he shrank back, looking at Su Chen somewhat embarrassedly.

"Brother, why don't you go with me? I'm a bit nervous alone."

Su Chen almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

He hurriedly waved his hand: "Marshal, this won't do. This is your and the fairy's time alone, what does it count for if I, an outsider, follow?"

"Besides," Su Chen pointed to the vast Lunar Star around him, "It's rare for this little brother to come to the Lunar Star, so I also want to wander around and see the scenery of the legendary Moon Palace. You go with peace of mind, remember to perform well. This little brother will wait here for your good news."

Marshal Tianpeng heard this and felt it was the same truth.

He looked at Su Chen gratefully: "Brother, great kindness is not spoken of. When I, brother, win the beauty, I will definitely treat you to the best wine!"

After speaking, he didn't hesitate anymore and walked toward Fairy Chang'e in front of the Guanghan Palace with high spirits.

Su Chen looked at his funny back and shook his head with a smile.

"Go, go, it's best if you can chat for a while longer."

He turned around, ignored the "love story" about to be staged there, and cast his gaze toward the huge laurel tree that pierced the clouds in the distance.

"The Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun is not here, Wu Gang is not here, and most of the immortal officials are not here. Now, this is my best opportunity!"

His heart was beating violently.

True Fire of the Sun, I'm coming!

Su Chen didn't hesitate anymore, his figure flickered, and he galloped toward that huge laurel tree.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the vastness and antiquity of this divine tree.

That thick trunk probably needed thousands of people to embrace it, and the bark was covered with traces of time, as if they were natural Dao patterns, containing infinite mysteries.

A majestic life essence, accompanied by pure Lunar power, was emitted from the tree body.

"As expected of an innate spiritual root, truly extraordinary."

Su Chen praised in his heart.

He walked around the laurel tree once, confirmed that there was no one else around, and then pressed his hand lightly on the rough bark.

"As far as I know, this innate spiritual root is rooted in the origin of the Lunar Star."

He thought to himself, and then used his Hunyuan Jin Dan with perfect Wood attribute to activate the "Wood Escape Technique."

Hum!

Su Chen's body glowed with a faint green light, and like water waves merging into the sea, he merged into the huge trunk.

Entering the inside of the laurel trunk, Su Chen discovered that he was in a strange passage composed of countless light pulses.

These light pulses, some presented a jade-like green, full of rich Wood vitality; others presented a moon-like silver-white, emitting pure Lunar power.

The two forces were perfectly intertwined here, forming a unique energy flow.

Su Chen was like following a rushing river, sinking rapidly.

The pressure around him was getting bigger and bigger.

That coldness originating from the Lunar origin was also getting more and more terrifying, as if it wanted to freeze his spirit.

Su Chen didn't dare to be negligent, hurriedly operated his Hunyuan Jin Dan, and the Jin Dan in his body spun, emitting a warm magic power that protected his whole body, which made him feel a bit better.

"Good fellow, if this were an ordinary Human Immortal, they would probably be frozen into slag by this Lunar Qi before reaching the star core."

He secretly rejoiced that his foundation was solid and that he had refined the molted shell of Yang Mei Daxian, who was born as a Primordial spiritual root, otherwise he really might not have been able to enter smoothly.

He didn't know how long it had been, but when the feeling of falling finally stopped, Su Chen discovered that he had come out from the tip of a huge tree root.

He had arrived in a huge space.

Here, it was the deepest part of the Lunar Star, where its origin core was located.

Here, it was filled with pure Lunar origin Qi.

In the center of this space sat a magnificent palace emitting a faint clear radiance.

That palace was cast from silver crystals, with an ancient and elegant style, carrying a feeling of nobility and arrogance.

"Here, it should be the true residence of the Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun Chang Xi."

Su Chen looked at the palace not far away, excited.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully approached the palace a little bit.

However, he had only taken a few steps when a terrifying force that could not be matched slammed into him.

"Bang!"

Su Chen felt as if he had been hit heavily by an ancient divine mountain, and his whole person flew backward.

"Such a strong formation, fortunately it's just a defensive formation. If this were a killing formation, I would probably have died here just now."

Su Chen stabilized his figure, feeling lingering fear.

He activated his magic eyes to look carefully and saw countless profound innate runes appearing and disappearing on the surface of the palace and the nearby ground, forming a huge and complex formation.

This formation shrouded the entire palace and the area of several miles around it.

"This is definitely an innate-level formation; with my cultivation, it's impossible to break in."

That palace was as if it were a world independent of the Three Realms, visible but unreachable.
