Chapter 75

"What to do?"

Su Chen stood outside the formation, at his wit's end.

The goal was right in front of him, but he could only watch, unable to enter.

"Could it be that I really have to give up?"

His heart was full of unwillingness.

Since the Heavenly Secret Treasure Mirror gave the clue, it meant he had a chance to obtain it.

But where was the opportunity?

He looked around; here, besides the Lunar origin and the palace in front of him that he couldn't enter, there was nothing else.

"Calm down, Su Chen, you must calm down."

He calmed down and carefully recalled every event and every detail since ascending to Heaven.

"Marshal Tianpeng... Wu Gang... Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun coming out of seclusion... and leaving..."

"All of this is too coincidental."

"It's as if an invisible hand is secretly arranging all of this, step by step, leading me here."

"Could it be that..."

Just as his thoughts were chaotic and he couldn't figure it out, a cold and pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in this space.

"Little Daoist, you've already reached the door, why don't you come in?"

Hearing this voice!

The hair all over Su Chen's body stood up instantly.

He looked up fiercely, staring at the palace shrouded by the formation, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.

It was her! Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, Chang Xi!

She was actually in the palace!

She hadn't left at all!

In an instant, a bone-chilling coldness rose from Su Chen's back.

"I've been deceived! The news Marshal Tianpeng got was fake, this is a trap!"

Su Chen's brain was blank.

It's over!

This is completely over!

His little tricks were as ridiculous as a child playing house in front of this ancient great god who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.

She had been watching the show from the beginning.

Watching him like a clown, thinking he was smart, walking step by step into the trap she had set.

Escape? This thought only flashed in Su Chen's mind for a second before he pinched it out himself.

Are you kidding?

In the core of this Lunar Star, in the lair of this innate god.

Let alone him being just a Human Immortal, even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal came, they would only have to surrender!

Su Chen's heart was full of despair and bitterness.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the fear and panic in his heart.

Since things had come to this, thinking about anything else was useless.

If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided.

Stretching his head is a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife, so he might as well be straightforward.

Besides, if she really wanted to kill him, he would probably have been a cold corpse as soon as he entered this Lunar origin space, and wouldn't have waited until now.

Since she opened her mouth to let him in, it meant that perhaps there was still a glimmer of life.

Thinking of this, Su Chen calmed down instead.

He tidied his Daoist robe and bowed respectfully to the palace.

"Junior Su Chen, not knowing that the Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun was here, I have offended you, please forgive me, Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun."

In the palace, that cold voice sounded again, seemingly carrying a trace of a smile.

"Come in."

Su Chen looked at that deep portal, knowing he had no choice.

He gritted his teeth, took a step, and walked in, not being blocked by that innate formation.

Su Chen passed through the formation and entered the palace.

The interior of the palace was not the magnificent sight he had imagined, but rather appeared somewhat empty and cold.

The layout of the great hall was simple and ancient, everywhere revealing an ancient and long-lasting vicissitude of life.

And in the deepest part of the great hall, on that high Moon Brilliance throne, sat a woman.

She was wearing a magnificent silver palace dress, her long hair like a waterfall, her cloud bun high, and a beautiful face that seemed to be the most perfect masterpiece in the world, without a single flaw.

Her temperament was noble, cold, and carried a trace of indescribable loneliness.

She sat there quietly, like the focus of this world, attracting everything in the world.

An invisible pressure permeated, making Su Chen almost unable to breathe.

This was the Moon Goddess of ancient times, the current Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, Chang Xi!

Su Chen didn't dare to look up, hurriedly bowed and knelt again, his attitude humble to the extreme.

"Mortal loose cultivator Su Chen, greets the Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun. Junior trespassed on the Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun's place of cultivation, I deserve to die, please punish me, Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun."

On the throne, Chang Xi's eyes, which seemed to contain stars, quietly looked at Su Chen below, as if wanting to see through him from inside to outside.

Su Chen only felt that under her gaze, he had no secrets at all.

After a long time, Chang Xi spoke slowly, her voice cold.

"A mere Human Immortal, you do have some courage. And you have such means to find your way here to me."

"Speak, you racked your brains to sneak into my Lunar origin space, what exactly is it for?"

Here it comes! Su Chen's heart jumped to his throat.

He knew that his answer would directly determine his life or death.

Tell the truth, or continue to make up lies?

His brain was spinning rapidly.

Say it was for the True Fire of the Sun directly? Would it make her unhappy?

But if he lied, he was afraid of being seen through.

The consequences of deceiving an ancient great god might be even worse.

In a flash, Su Chen made a decision.

As the saying goes, flattery never hurts.

Su Chen raised his head, met Chang Xi's gaze, and said with a look of awe on his face: "Reporting to the Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, Junior heard that the Lunar Star is a holy land of the Heavenly Court, and you, Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, are a legendary figure, so Junior was full of curiosity and admiration."

"Today, Junior dared to come, just wanting to see this legendary Lunar Star with my own eyes and admire the place where you, Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, reside, with no other intentions. I didn't expect to trespass into this place and disturb your cultivation, Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun. Junior deserves to die!"

After speaking, he bowed deeply again, putting on the excitement and fear of a "brain-dead fan" seeing his idol.

However, a light laugh came from the throne.

That laughter was crisp and pleasant, but it made Su Chen's heart sink to the bottom of the valley instantly.

Chang Xi's laughter echoed in the great hall.

"Curiosity? Admiration?"

She looked at Su Chen, who was bowing and saluting, her eyes carrying a bit of playfulness.

"Little Daoist, this set of words of yours, if you went to deceive those immortal officials in the Heavenly Court, perhaps there would be a few possibilities. But wanting to deceive me, that won't work."

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, thinking it was over.

This one didn't seem to eat this set, was he going to plant himself here today?

Su Chen straightened up, looked at the cold and magnificent ancient Moon Goddess on the throne, and braced himself: "What this little Daoist said is true."

Chang Xi didn't pay attention to his words this time.

This ancient Moon Goddess smiled, looked at the panicked Su Chen below, and spoke slowly, her voice carrying a reminiscence of the ancient era.
