This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Long Chen and Qu Liushang walked side by side. Seeing Qu Liushangs gloomy expression, Long Chen couldnt help but speak up.

Palace Master, you dont need to be angry on my behalf. I really am not interested in the Starry River Sovereign Palaces legacy. From the beginning, I only wanted my brothers and sisters from the nine heavens to have a fair chance to compete. Things have already gone far beyond that.

I dont want the two vice palace masters to turn against each other because of me, as it would only worsen the Starry River Palaces situation. If you simply say that Im leaving with the disciples of the nine heavens, all this trouble will end. Most people here already see us as a waste of resources. Once were gone, everyone can be at peace.

Qu Liushang sighed.

Long Chen, youre a smart person. From the moment you entered the Starry River Palace, you saw everything clearly. Why bother comforting me? The palaces problems are far more serious than I imagined. If this continues, we truly will be doomed. Thats why I must report this to Master immediately. Even if Im punished, its worth it.

They arrived at the highest level of the palace. The hall appeared empty, but at its center lay a vast astral formation.

Little Brother, wait for a moment. I will report this to my master.

Qu Liushang walked over to the astral formation. Starlight wrapped around him, lifting his body as it slowly faded into the ceiling.

Above the roof? Is the palace masters seclusion area inside the starry river?

Long Chen was startled. He felt like this guess was right.

A short moment later, Qu Liushang returned. Long Chen was about to ask what had happened, but the look on Qu Liushangs face stopped him. It wasnt exactly a bad or a good expression. It was simply odd.

Qu Liushang brought Long Chen away. As they stood in the void, he suddenly made an announcement to the entire Starry River Palace.

Master has spoken! The matter of Long Chen entering the Starry River Sovereign Palace is deferred for now.

The Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Rankings will be reset in one month. Every disciple from the nine heavens will receive three years worth of inner palace disciple rations.

During this month, they are free to enter the treasure pavilions, the trial by fire grounds, and cultivation rooms.

Other than the Starry River Sovereign Palace, Long Chen has free access to anywhere in the Starry River Palace. He may exchange his points for any cultivation technique, medicinal pill, weapon, or other items.

One month from now, the Starry River Gate will open, and we will initiate the devil slaughter battle. We will use kill points to decide the new Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Rankings.

When the devil slaughter battle ends, if the disciples from the nine heavens occupy one-third of the rankings, all of them will be promoted to inner palace disciples.

As Qu Liushangs voice resounded throughout the entire Starry River Palace, everyone, including Li Wanci, was stunned.

What? This is impossible! shouted Li Wanci.

Li Wanci could hardly believe her ears, even suspecting that Qu Liushang had made it all up. But she knew him too well. Even with ten times the guts, he wouldnt lie about such a thing.

Three years of inner palace rations for those homeless trash?!

Resetting the rankings only benefits those from the nine heavens! Theyre given every chance to grow stronger, while our points are wiped clean! How are we supposed to survive this month?!

The experts of the Starry River Palace practically exploded when they heard this announcement. They could not accept it.

As for the disciples of the nine heavens, some had just been promoted to outer palace disciples, only to be forcibly driven back to the desolate mountain. Their anger had not yet subsided when this announcement descended like a thunderbolt.

The disciples of the nine heavens were struck dumb. They couldnt believe it.

Then, a furious roar split the air.

This isnt fair!

In response, a bolt of lightning shot out of the starry river above the grand palace and struck the one roaring. The Divine Sovereign Elder was obliterated on the spot, reduced to a cloud of blood mist.

The starry rivers wrath! Heavens, it really is the will of the palace master! Anyone who dares to defy it will be killed!

Terrified screams rang out.

Rumor had it that Palace Master Li Canghao was especially talented. His body was one with the Dao, his will fused with the starry river itself. Thus, the starry river flowing through the Starry River Palace was like his eyes.

However, Li Canghao had not appeared for many years. As a result, many elders had started to forget his powerand his infamous temper.

Qu Liushangs announcement had barely ended when someone cried out in protest and was instantly killed by the starry river. The lesson was brutal and absolute.

Now, no one else dared to complain out loud. They could only curse silently.

After finishing his announcement, Qu Liushang started walking alongside Long Chen again.

What do you think? asked Qu Liushang.

What can I possibly say? Long Chen couldnt help smiling bitterly.

Master delayed the opening of the Starry River Sovereign Palace to give the nine heavens a fair chance, Qu Liushang said slowly. But these rations this kind of fairness is something I dont quite understand.

With a questioning look, Qu Liushang glanced at Long Chen.

Long Chen smiled faintly.

You dont understand?Just keep pretending. Since your master could give the nine star heirs of the nine heavens such a generous boost, Ill keep pretending too.

Qu Liushang felt a twinge of embarrassment. In truth, he understood it, but not completely. Then, Long Chens expression made him wonder if he had misunderstood something fundamental.

He wanted to ask, to confirm his thoughts. But Long Chens smile seemed to say that the palace masters intentions were obvious. To ask further would only make Qu Liushang appear as if he were too stupid to understand.

Qu Liushang had his own pride. If he couldnt figure it out immediately, he would just ponder it slowly.

Now, Long Chen had the authority to go anywhere he wanted, except for the Starry River Sovereign Palace, so Qu Liushang didnt keep him here any longer.

Qu Liushang showed Long Chen the locations of the sacred recovery zones and cultivation lands, then told Long Chen to decide what to do himself. In any case, Long Chen had the points of everyone from the Three Rankings. He wouldnt be able to spend them all even if he tried.

Long Chen bade Qu Liushang farewell and immediately went to find Qu Yingying. She was still a little pale, but her eyes sparkled with excitement. The foolish girl had been waiting for him the entire time.

Haha, little brother, youre amazing! Youre a big shot now! But dont forget your big sister! Qu Yingying exclaimed, immediately grabbing Long Chens hand.

This time, Long Chens sudden wealth was, without question, thanks to Qu Yingyings all-seeing eye.

From now on, Im following you! she declared, clearly afraid he would forget her.

No problem! Long Chen laughed. Come, lets go to the desolate mountain. I want to see my people.

With Qu Yingying leading the way, they went through multiple transportation formations and arrived at the desolte mountain almost instantly. When Long Chen saw a group of people blocking the entrance strictly, his expression sank.

Without Palace Master Wancis orders, no one can

Pow!

Long Chen directly slapped the arrogant man standing in his way.
