Return first and attend to your affairs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I shall wait for you here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly bowed in thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Star Lord, for your favor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received Chang Xi’s permission, Su Chen dared not delay a moment and bowed deeply before taking his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Su Chen departed, Chang Xi sighed softly and murmured, “That monkey would have been the better choice, but his ties run too deep—he is also a pitiful soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen retraced his path, carefully exiting the palace deep within the Taiyin Star, then passed once more through the massive cassia tree roots to return to the star’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Tian Peng Yuan Shuai paced anxiously like an ant on a hot pan near the Guanghan Palace on the Taiyin Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he spotted Su Chen emerging from the direction of the cassia tree, he rushed forward and seized his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My dear brother, you’re finally out! Where on earth have you been?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen smiled at his state and said, “My lord, do not fret. I merely sought a quiet place to sense the Dao’s resonance of the Taiyin Star—and gained a little insight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? That’s good.” Tian Peng Yuan Shuai exhaled in relief, then grinned proudly, “Brother, let me tell you—heehee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face broke into a triumphant smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? So you’ve already spoken to Lady Chang’e?” Su Chen feigned surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spoken to her?!” Tian Peng Yuan Shuai puffed out his chest, waving his arms excitedly, “I followed your method and told her the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai—she was utterly entranced. In the end, she even wept for their fate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Tian Peng wore an expression of pure bliss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen couldn’t help but chuckle at his demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the power of a love story was universal across all worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, Yuan Shuai—this is an excellent omen!” Su Chen quickly bowed in congratulations, “It shows the Immortal Lady no longer resents you. If you keep pushing, winning her heart is within reach!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha! This is all thanks to your brilliant plan!” Tian Peng slapped Su Chen’s shoulder, grinning broadly, “When this is done, I’ll never forget your great favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few more words, Su Chen proposed to take his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, while attuning to the Taiyin Star just now, I felt a sudden insight—I may have a chance to break through to a Earth Immortal. I plan to return immediately to my residence and enter seclusion to cultivate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Tian Peng Yuan Shuai felt a pang of regret, but mostly rejoiced for Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Breakthrough? That’s a tremendous blessing!” he exclaimed, “You focus entirely on your seclusion. I’ll handle the Immortal Lady myself. I wish you smooth progress—I’ll treat you to wine when you emerge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Then I’ll take your good wishes, my lord. I’ll be off then.” Su Chen bowed to Tian Peng and took his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parting from Tian Peng Yuan Shuai, Su Chen summoned a auspicious cloud and sped swiftly toward the Great Sage Equaling Heaven’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was eager to return home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sooner he arranged matters for Sun Wukong, the sooner he could return to refine the Solar True Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the grand mansion of the Great Sage came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen descended from the cloud and landed before the gate, striding boldly inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chief Administrator, you’ve returned!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The celestial officials and clerks within the mansion bowed deeply upon seeing Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen nodded and asked directly, “Is the Great Sage in the mansion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang De, the lead Left Assistant Celestial Official, stepped forward and replied, “Chief Administrator, the Great Sage left early this morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Left?” Su Chen frowned. “Where to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang De whispered, “The Great Sage said the mansion was too stifling—he went to drink with the Third Prince…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen sighed and gave up on searching for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned Zhang De and the Right Assistant Celestial Official Li Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two, listen to my instructions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen’s expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang De and Li Ming immediately bowed and stood at attention, listening intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I shall now enter a prolonged seclusion to seek breakthrough. It may last three to five months—or years, even longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During my seclusion, you two shall manage all affairs of the Great Sage’s mansion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…?” Zhang De and Li Ming exchanged glances, visibly alarmed. “Chief Administrator, is this appropriate? Without you, how can we make decisions for the Great Sage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry about that,” Su Chen waved his hand. “Listen carefully: the most important thing is, when the Great Sage returns, you must repeat my next words to him, word for word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at them and said, “Tell him I’ve discovered a place of opportunity and must enter seclusion immediately to break through a bottleneck. Tell him not to worry about me—I shall return once my cultivation is complete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell him to remain in the Heavenly Court, behave himself, and never let petty grievances anger him. Wait until I emerge to deal with any issues.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen emphasized the phrase “never let petty grievances anger him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Sun Wukong’s nature—he feared most that the monkey would fly into a rage over deliberate provocations from the Heavenly Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you remembered all of it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have! Chief Administrator, rest assured—we shall deliver every word exactly as instructed!” the two replied in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having given these instructions, Su Chen felt a great weight lift from his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he still felt uneasy about Sun Wukong, he could do no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest now depended on the Monkey King’s own fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and left the Great Sage’s mansion, transforming into a streak of light that vanished once more into the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Taiyin Star’s primordial space, within the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Chen’s figure reappeared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Xi stood silently before the “Taiyin Locks Yang” Array, as if she had never moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back?” she asked coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I apologize for keeping you waiting, Elder,” Su Chen nodded. “Your disciple is ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Xi glanced at him and slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of her slender hand, the Taiyin Locks Yang Array opened another gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enter. I shall personally guard you. Do not disappoint me—or Emperor Jun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen took a deep breath, bowed one final time to Chang Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without hesitation, he stepped forward and walked resolutely into the core of the Array.\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d0e6f2554d3699fa1bf3e1f44db2ef8bbed0c4de9aee644bc709a3fdeef45b0f","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-79","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-77",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
