Chapter 1128: Star Palace, Yao Guang Palace (First update, requesting all)

In the sky, countless stars were brilliant and dazzling, far brighter than ever before, as if celebrating the birth of the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform.

However, in the very next moment, 365 star pillars descended straight down, instantly submerging the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform.

The Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform frantically devoured the starlight, shining brilliantly; in the process, patterns symbolizing different stars began to emerge on each petal.

Without waiting long, a curtain of starry light automatically appeared above the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, within which one could see clear, miniature palaces.

There were 365 palaces in total, among which the Ziwei Palace was the most dazzling; like stars surrounding the moon, it was located at the very center, with the Sun and Moon palaces guarding it on the sides.

Suddenly, the Ziwei Palace within the light curtain shone brightly, and immediately after, a pillar of starlight descended from the sky once more, landing on the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform.

The nature of the power in this starlight pillar was clearly different from before, and the moment it made contact with the lotus platform, it fluctuated violently.

Ripples began to form in the void, and Li Zhangsheng could feel the space on the lotus platform becoming unstable, showing signs of shattering.

Before Li Zhangsheng could react, a three-meter-wide Space Channel appeared, reaching toward the end of the sky, though it was unknown where it led.

"Could the end of this Space Channel lead to the legendary Star Palace? Or perhaps the Ziwei Star?"

Li Zhangsheng was filled with doubt and surprise; he had not expected such changes to occur while upgrading the grade of the lotus platform.

Beside him, Ning Bizhen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think it is highly likely, but we know nothing about the Star Palace; there may be dangers lurking there."

"Hmm, we must be extremely cautious. I just don't know how long this Space Channel can be maintained."

Even after becoming a King and accomplishing a series of world-shaking feats, Li Zhangsheng always maintained a cautious attitude, never taking risks lightly and never fighting unprepared battles.

"This might involve the inheritance of the ancient Star Emperor; no matter what, we must make this trip."

Even someone as indifferent as water like Ning Bizhen found it difficult to remain calm at this moment.

"Great opportunities often represent great dangers. This Space Channel looks like it can be maintained for a while longer, so there is no need to rush; let us plan our retreat before we advance."

Li Zhangsheng carefully observed the Space Channel; because he could transform into a Dijiang, he was quite sensitive to the power of space.

To avoid accidents, Li Zhangsheng also called the Chi Dragon over, letting it watch the Space Channel and notify him immediately if any signs of instability appeared.

Li Zhangsheng began to make preparations, first leaving the Secret Realm to set up a Plane Teleportation Array in a hidden location; who knew if he could teleport back after entering the Space Channel? Setting up a Plane Teleportation Array was the best method, otherwise, he feared he would have to miserably wander the sea of stars.

As for the other end of the Plane Teleportation Array, it was installed on the Baisheng King Palace; this way, even if he went to another world, Li Zhangsheng could use the Baisheng King Palace to teleport back.

It was just that, in doing so, the Baisheng King Palace would likely be left behind there.

Li Zhangsheng had no other choice; the Baisheng King Palace came with numerous Defense Restrictions, and plane teleportation also took time—the further the distance, the longer it took.

He feared that the end of the Space Channel might be extremely far from the Fairy World; only with the defensive mechanisms of the Baisheng King Palace could Li Zhangsheng feel confident and bold enough to carry out the plane teleportation.

Taking a step back, with Li Zhangsheng's level as a Grandmaster of Artifact Refining, re-refining the Baisheng King Palace would be no trouble at all.

In addition to the Plane Teleportation Array, Li Zhangsheng also had Zuo Qiulin try his best to collect books related to the Star Palace, the Star Emperor, and the Zhou Tian Star Dou to take precautions in advance.

After making thorough preparations, three days had passed; just as Li Zhangsheng had sensed, due to the large amount of Starlight Power maintaining it, this Space Channel had not collapsed.

In the Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen looked at each other and stepped into the Space Channel together.

After entering the Space Channel, there was only a scene of flowing light and color, accompanied by a dizzying, spinning sensation and an intense feeling of pressure.

The longer the distance of the plane teleportation, the greater the pressure; if it were an ordinary Monster Tamer, they would likely be crushed into pulp, but for a King, it was still manageable.

Li Zhangsheng gripped the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords in his right hand and held the miniature Xuan Kun Creation Stele in his left, while Ning Bizhen gripped the Hunyuan Heluo Treasure Umbrella in her right hand and held the Starry Sky Gate in her left, staying on guard at all times.

After about five or six seconds, the scene before them finally changed.

The first thing Li Zhangsheng did was throw out the Xuan Kun Creation Stele to avoid having his combat power weakened.

Ning Bizhen threw out the Hunyuan Heluo Treasure Umbrella, which hovered and rotated above their heads, casting down a semi-transparent curtain of light that completely covered them both.

The two did not encounter the attacks they had imagined, and only then did they begin to examine the nearby scene.

Upon this look, they were clearly taken aback.

This was an unknown space; as far as the eye could see, there was no land, only misty clouds beneath their feet. Standing on them was no different from standing on solid ground, giving one the feeling of stepping on thick cotton.

Not far away was a massive palace, standing a full hundred meters high, and its footprint was even more exaggerated, giving the impression that it was built for Giants to live in.

Standing before the palace, the two felt exceptionally small.

At this moment, Ning Bizhen pointed to the southeast and said, "There is a palace over there too!"

Li Zhangsheng looked in that direction and could vaguely see a palace, which was likely several dozen miles away.

Only then did Li Zhangsheng's gaze fall upon the plaque of the palace in front of him, which bore three ancient characters.

"Yao Guang Palace! It seems this is the legendary Star Palace!"

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, condensing his Mental Power into a transparent giant hand, and pushed it toward the tightly closed doors.

Suddenly, the Yao Guang Palace erupted with extremely rich starlight, making one feel as if they were amidst the stars, wrapping the entire Yao Guang Palace in it. The transparent hand landed on it without even causing a stir, which showed the strength of the Yao Guang Palace's defense.

During the probing process, the two were more than usually vigilant.

However, there was no counterattack as they had imagined.

Looking at the Forbidden Array shrouding the entire palace, Li Zhangsheng inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, always feeling that it had a certain connection to the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, or perhaps it was just one part of it.

The two probed again, this time switching to using their Spirit Beasts to attack, but the result was not much better than before. Even when several Saint Grade Spirit Pets exerted their strength together, they could only cause ripples in the Forbidden Array, with no signs of it breaking at all. The key was that this Restriction also came with its own energy replenishment, and the recovery speed was clearly faster than the rate of depletion.

This was just like the Treasure Vat set up by the Baisheng King; only when the rate of depletion exceeded the recovery speed would there be a chance to break the Restriction.
