The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 571 - Star Posthouse

Chapter 571 Star Posthouse

“Crap…”
Bloody-moon Evil Master suddenly realized something, and his face paled drastically.
There was only one explanation for the sudden departure of the sea of blood.
It was summoned away by Saint of Blood Sea.
As it was a Taoist Treasure, Saint of Blood Sea had absolute control over it, and Bloody-moon Evil Master was only the subsidiary controller.
But now, a quarter of the sea of blood had gone away against his order. It must have gone to meet up with the rest of the Blood Sea.
On the upside, in the battle against Li Mu, Saint of Blood Sea, who only relied on three-thirds of the Blood Sea, was unable to do anything to Li Mu. On the downside, there was a possibility that Saint of Blood Sea was not a match for Li Mu and had been in big trouble.
Without hesitation, Bloody-moon Evil Master turned into a streak of blood-colored light and shot high into the sky.
He had no choice but to flee.
Even if he didn’t care about the safety of Saint of Blood Sea, after losing a quarter of Blood Sea, he no longer had any odds against Ding Yi. Staying here was no different from courting death.
He felt wronged.
His heart ached.
Bloody-moon Evil Master’s heart was bleeding.
Standing on the “fat sword”, Ding Yi did not chase after him immediately.
He looked at the crowd below, then he looked at Ye Wuhen and said, “Sect Master has already left. He won’t be back in a short period of time. He asked me to tell you that he’ll leave Mount Shu to you for the time being.”
When Ye Wuhen heard this, it was as if she had already expected that. The expression on her face did not change much as she said blandly, “I see.”
That’s right. She saw it coming a long time ago.
She just didn’t expect that this moment would come so fast.
It was a cruel word to say goodbye at any time.
“Take care.”
Ding Yi suddenly became a little serious, which made the others a little uncomfortable.
He nodded to Ye Wuhen and then waved at the people in White Emperor City below. The “fat sword” under his feet flashed and turned into a two-meter-long sword. It carried him up to the sky and flew to a higher place in the sky.
Ye Wuhen raised her head to take a look, but she didn’t look away for a long time.
“When will we ever meet again?”
For the sake of one’s lover, one would be haggard. Though the robes would gradually become loose, she would never regret it.
Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
As one of the noteless star regions in the Ziwei Star Zone, the universe tide in this star region was in a stable state, and there was no sign of it rising again. But in at least several eras, there would be no sign of decline either.
A streak of blood-colored light was rapidly escaping in the dark vacuum of space.
The faces of Saint of Blood Sea and Bloody-moon Evil Master were equally livid.
When they confidently went to the Bitter Star to hunt down Li Mu, they thought that what awaited them was Li Mu’s head that they could easily rip off and the reward that came along with it. However, they did not expect that it was not Li Mu but them who escaped like a defeated dog in the end.
This time, they had lost all of their dignity.
Fortunately, when they went to the Bitter Star, in order to take the bounty by themselves, they didn’t let many people know about their operation. Otherwise, the young master and his servant would really become the laughing stock of the entire Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
Saint of the Blood Sea looked back. Thousands of miles away, there was still a wisp of sword light visible. That light was relentlessly chasing after him in the pitch-dark universe.
That was Li Mu.
“Is that guy crazy?”
Saint of Blood Sea found it hard to understand him.
Li Mu actually left the Bitter Star to pursue them and chased after them all the way into outer space.
Saint of Blood Sea was really anxious and angry at the moment.
“How far is the nearest Star Posthouse?” Saint of Blood Sea asked, gnashing his teeth.
“We can get there within two hours.” Bloody-moon Evil Master unfolded a star map, carefully observed it, and said, “We’re in the Gold Sun Sect’s territory. The transportation fee is 30% higher than that of the transportation station of general sects.”
“Well, let’s go there and then take another path. Let’s go back to the Blood Sea. I’d like to see if Li Mu dares to chase us then. As long as he enters our territory, hehe,” Saint of Blood Sea said with a murderous sneer.
Thousands of miles behind.
Li Mu and Ding Yi were in hot pursuit.
“Are we really going to keep chasing them like this?” Ding Yi said, “Mind you, a cornered beast might do something desperate.”
Li Mu said, “I just want him to do something desperate. The bigger the racket, the better.”
He sat cross-legged on Ding Yi’s “fat sword”, nourishing his natural qi.
In the previous battle, he defeated Saint of Blood Sea and gained more insights from the Broadsword Intent of the 24 Solar Terms. At this time, he was repeatedly measuring them up, trying to make sure that there were no flaws in the Broadsword Intent and the Broadsword Way.
This Broadsword Intent was the most powerful and satisfactory one among the Cultivation Methods he created, and it was also the most likely one to become a legend. Therefore, Li Mu paid extra attention to it, and he worked hard step by step to perfect the skill.
Leaving the Bitter Star and leaving Mount Shu was a plan that he had made a long time ago.
After the grand wedding, he didn’t know how to say goodbye to the people of Mount Shu, especially to Ye Wuhen, so he asked Ding Yi to pass the message on his behalf.
As for Ding Yi’s company, they had discussed it and planned it out beforehand.
Li Mu wanted to use his own body to attract the attention of the major sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. He would draw all the focus on himself so as to drive a part of the firepower away from Mount Shu on the Bitter Star. As long as the extraterrestrial cultivators didn’t swarm to Mount Shu all at once, it would not be a big problem for the Mount Shu Sect to protect itself with the Green Lotus Sword Formation and White Emperor City.
What he needed to do now was to use the hunt for Saint of Blood Sea to announce his arrival to the entire Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
Therefore, he hoped that this would be a big racket.
Then the news could be spread out.
Ding Yi, like a boatman, stood on the hilt of the “fat sword” and looked out.
“Those two cowards changed their direction… The major planets in the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy are interconnected by the Teleportation Deployment in the Star Posthouses. Even those experts in the Soldier Realm and the General Realm won’t waste their natural qi foolishly to cross the universe on foot. What’s more, the consumption of natural qi is no big deal compared with the danger they may face once they encounter a Star Storm. Those in the General Realm may die in that kind of a storm. Thus, I’m sure that these two cowards are heading for the nearest Star Posthouse.”
He seemed to be very familiar with everything in outer space.
Li Mu said, “It doesn’t matter. Let’s continue the chase.”
Ding Yi urged the “fat sword” under his feet. Like a silver shuttle, it zoomed through the dark vacuum at an amazing speed and went after the targets.
About two hours later, a huge mountain-shaped meteorite appeared in their sight.
The meteorite had a radius of thousands of miles. It looked like a floating pebble. It was completely black, as if it had mixed into the black vacuum. If the two had not been just 50 kilometers away from it, they would not have noticed it.
Li Mu opened his Third Eye, observed it carefully for moments, and clicked his tongue in amazement.
On the surface of this huge meteorite, there were strange patterns carved by some great tactic deployment master. An extremely inconspicuous power was flowing around the meteorite, making it still in the void instead of drifting in the universe. Obviously, in addition to being a posthouse, it also functioned as a navigation mark.
The martial arts civilization had indeed blossomed brilliantly in the universe.
Only by walking out of the primeval small planets and entering the real universe would one understand how vast this world was. One would also start to see how incredible the civilization that the real martial arts society had shaped and developed in this universe was.
It was no wonder that so many geniuses and giants wanted to enter the Void-breaking Realm, open the void, and step into outer space, even though once they would be regarded as humble bugs, even not be considered “ordinary” people, and fall from the peak to the bottom once they went to the universe with the strength in the mere Void-breaking Realm.
But only by walking into the universe could one see the real martial arts.
The martial arts on those primitive planets they learned in the past could only be considered superficial.
In the universe, the achievements of the martial arts civilization had infiltrated every corner of the major races in every aspect of daily life. Many things, which were regarded as amazing secret skills and miracles on the primitive planets, were actually normal in the universe.
For example, the meteorite in front of Li Mu and Ding Yi was shaped like a mountain peak, which had been transformed and frozen in the vacuum. For many martial artists on primitive planets, it was an unimaginable work.
“They have entered the gravitational circle of this meteorite. It seems that they are going to land on it. There should be a Star Posthouse on this meteorite.” Ding Yi said, “Shall we continue to chase them?”
“Yes.”
Li Mu was also surging with emotions inwardly.
“Star Posthouse?”
“Great.”
“After putting in so much effort and struggling for so long, I could finally be considered to have truly stepped into the universe.”
The moment he saw this giant meteorite with a Star Posthouse set on it, he knew that he had finally reached the goal of a certain stage.
The fat sword cleaved the vacuum and entered the gravitational circle of the giant meteorite.
As they were approaching the meteorite before landing, Li Mu saw that there was a small black town on the rocky plain below, which was dotted with hundreds of buildings. Li Mu sensed that there was a strong martial arts aura flowing around the town, and knew there were cultivators stationed in the town.
The two landed outside the town.
On this meteorite, the gravity was weak, and the air was so thin that it was almost impossible for ordinary people to adapt to it. Warriors below the Void-breaking Realm would not live long in such an environment. Li Mu and Ding Yi also took some time to adjust to the change before they could walk on the surface of the meteorite.
Hearten by his powers, Li Mu went straight to the town without any symbolic cover-up.
As expected, the only entrance to the town was guarded by cultivators.
“Eh? From the looks of it, it’s the territory of the Gold Sun Sect?”
Judging from the style of the standard armor worn by those cultivators who guarded the gate of the town, Li Mu learned that they were from the Gold Sun Sect. Because in the Tomb of the God of Sin, the clothes and armor of the head of the Gold Sun Sect he killed were exactly the same as those of the dozen cultivators.
It seemed that this Star Posthouse was within the territory of the Gold Sun Sect.
Li Mu swaggered over.
“Stop.” A disciple of the Gold Sun Sect holding a battle spear stopped the two.
“Huh?
I’m already recognized?”
Li Mu started considering whether he should go on a killing spree right now.
At this time, the disciple of the Gold Sun Sect looked them up and down, and then said with a sneer, “It’s your first time? Do you know the rules at all? This is the territory of our Gold Sun Sect. Anyone who is not a disciple of the Gold Sun Sect who wants to enter the city has to pay taxes. Where are your tax receipts?”
The other disciples of the Gold Sun Sect also fixed their eyes on Li Mu and Ding Yi.
However, to Li Mu’s surprise, these disciples of the Gold Sun Sect seemed to only be interested in the tax. They didn’t even recognize that the person in front of them was the enemy of the entire Brilliance Immortal Star Region who had arrested and killed their leader. Or to say, they didn’t consider that possibility at all. How could they know a sinner who had become the target of public criticism in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region dared to show up in the open and come right to them?
Li Mu chuckled and threw out a piece of silver fairy crystal.
The team leader of the Gold Sun Sect had been sitting on a lounge chair in the distance, pretending to be asleep. At this time, his eyes lit up. He waved his hand and caught the fairy crystal first. Then, he simply gave the order to let them pass immediately.
A Silver Immortal Crystal! That was quite a fortune.
Generally speaking, when people entered the city, they would each pay a copper-colored fairy crystal. But these two bumpkins from nameless places were obvious that newbies who had just entered the universe. However, they were really generous.
“Go, inform the elders that two fat sheep have come in. Let’s observe them for a while. If they don’t seem to have any strong backup, we can slaughter them and take all their treasures, haha.” The leader of the cultivators from the Gold Sun Sect said with a greedy smile.
