Chapter 458: Yellow Robe Ascension

Heavenly Yanwen Star "True Duke Of Dingxiang" Guo Yan stared strangely at this little girl. The girl that Mount Hua sent out to fight seemed about eight or nine years of age. Inexperience was written all over her face.

Of course, in Star World, apparent age and strength were never very correlated because while they bore a Star Name, Star Generals would maintain a eternal youth and complexion during certain stages; they would exhibit no growth. Some would appear to be immature lolis while others could be unfathomable old monsters.

Guo Yan was not sure if the girl was still growing or if she had already obtained an indestructible body, but recalling the case of Mount Hua's "Sleeping Immortal" Ancestor Chen Tuan, Guo Yan did not dare look down on her.

She was not filled with hot air like Self-proclaimed Great General Heruo Bi, and neither did she have so-called Star General's glory.

As they say, the subject obeys the king. She would faithfully execute everything her lord commanded. Guo Yan was able to sense the Gold Age Tyrant's intentions. Through the sweet-talking, she issued her order. The Tyrant once mentioned to Yang Su her assessment: "Only Guo Yan's mind is like mine."

Among the Nine Elders Of Sui, Yang Su was unfathomable, Shi Wansui was unstoppable, Heruo Bi was insufferably arrogant, and Yu Juluo's Double Pupils schemed…Guo Yan was Yang Guang's most favored. She was ever obedient and never showed exhaustion.

"I shall now grant you the most excruciating death." Guo Yan brought out her Star Weapon, a saber with interlocked rings. The sword's blade was wide, its back lined with rings, their numbers all different. The swordtip protruded with an exceptional sharpness. The handguard was disc-shaped and closely fitted to the blade. The hilt was a bit crooked, colored like the rest of the blade.

This blade could hack and slash, stab and thrust. In use, it produced formidable gusts and ringing noises.

It was named "Reverent Spirit."

The Red Fragrant Child practiced a calm Daoist mind at Mount Hua. She already concealed expressions of joy or fury and appeared to be sterner than an adult. The girl adopted a boxing stance. Although she was Gestational Phase, she had never neglected her martial arts.

After sparring with Chen Mo and assimilating the Bagua, her Four Symbols even had an exceptional vigor.

But seeing her posture, the surrounding cultivators were nearly laughing.

A Gestational Phase Star General. This was too pitiable. Such a Star General Realm could practically be ignored.

"Don't tell me that Mount Hua has no one left? They actually sent out a Gestational Phase Star General?"

"The tide is over, the tide is over. Mount Hua will change masters as of this moment."

"Don't be so quick to judge. Maybe she has some trump card."

"Huh, This Daoist does not believe that a Gestational Phase Star General can defy Heaven."

The surroundings coldly jeered and fiercely debated. This match was a bit disappointing.

A bit of doubt flickered past Sima Qian's aged eyes. The History Sage glanced at Su Mian. Dream In A Millennium flipped open the Birth Treasure Outline, but as the Star Name was still gestating, the Birth Treasure Outline showed a blank sheet.

Guo Yan received the Tyrant's command and did not hesitate to unleash her attack.

The ringed saber jingled, and a slash of saber-wind cruelly flew over. Her attack was sufficient to kill the Gestational Phase Star General.

Hè!

The Red Fragrant Child suddenly exhaled and punched with both fists, stepping forward. When her fists attacked, her speed became formidable.

Guo Yan's first slash missed while her second attack was caught by the astral qi. A heavy pressure forced her Reverent Spirit Saber to slant. The Red Fragrant Child was fully aware of the gulf between them and did not dare touch the blade. She used her cultivated punch astral qi to obstruct her opponent, fighting at range.

Before Guo Yan could react, the girl had unleashed a series of six punches.

One was like a collapsing mountain, another a thunderclap, a wave, a gale, a cannon, and an ocean.

These six punches contained the Bagua's Gen, Zhen, Kan, Xuan, Li, and Dui.

Punch-intent was unleashed, following closely afterwards. It was like Mount Hua's six sky-scraping peaks had rose up and pierced the sky and into the starry heavens. An ear-splitting hiss endlessly rolled Heaven and Earth.

This world also conformed to the bagua's Qiankun, combining with Daoism's concepts, exhibiting something that startled man and celestial.

"Earlier Heaven Bagua Diagram!"

The Earlier Heaven Bagua Diagram that the Red Fragrant Child created for her Longfist style was her strongest technique. She gathered Later Heaven True Qi to produce Earlier Heaven Astral Qi, and this punch was sufficient to strike at someone several stages away in terms of Realm.

"Little Senior Sister Fragrant Child's hard training wasn't for nothing." Chen Mo was impressed to see this "Earlier Heaven Bagua Diagram." Any other warrior, maybe even a Saint Of War, would be dead. If it had possessed Star Energy, it would be even more terrifying.

But the Red Fragrant Child's Star Energy was too weak. Empty was the Earlier Heaven and weak was the Later Heaven.

The Red Fragrant Child's six punches attacked. The Earlier Heaven Bagua Diagram covered the entire arena. The six punches conformed to a profound theory. Even Guo Yan's brow could not help but wrinkle. Her opponent's resilience surpassed her imagination. This Bagua Diagram's punch-intent apparently felt hardly able to control her situation.

Guo Yan used her ringed saber techniques, breaking the punches' power with slash after slash. That Bagua Diagram's array lines broke one at a time under the saber-light, but the Red Fragrant Child's Earlier Heaven Bagua Diagram was endless. Each trigram was broken, only to be immediately replaced.

Kan and Li interchanged, and mountains and marsh alternated. The girl remained composed, her expression stern. She honestly had the expression of the immemorial Emperor Fuxi on the seat of Qian and Kun, listening to the qi of the eight winds, and thus, drawing the intent of the Bagua.

The jeering audience all stare wide-eyed at this unbelievable scene.

There was no doubt. If this girl someday matured her Star Name, she would be terrifying.

Yang Su grunted, her expression slowly darkening.

"Little Senior Sister Red Fragrant Child's technique is so amazing." Jiang Kui was stupefied.

"Ancestor, so it turned out that your Earlier Heaven Diagram was given to Junior SIster Red Fragrant Child?" Tan Daoji asked.

"En."

"No wonder the Ancestor is so confident in her." Tan Daoji said.1

In history, Chen Tuan had the "Changing Dragon Diagram," the "Earlier Heaven Diagram," and the "Without Ultimate Diagram." In Star World, Chen Xian'er also had three Divine Diagrams, and Chen Tuan cultivated these three at Mount Hua for a thousand years, containing Daoism's quintessence.

Any person or Star General that could obtain even one of these could receive endless benefits and gain the boundless power of Daoism.

After the Red Fragrant Child entered Mount Hua, Chen Tuan already bestowed upon her the Earlier Heaven Diagram to cultivate.

So although the Red Fragrant Child was Gestational Phase, every single one of her movements and techniques was full of the Earlier Heaven's intent.

"But to defeat Guo Yan with just this…" Chen Mo's brow wrinkled.

In the arena, the Red Fragrant Child's Earlier Heaven Bagua Diagram trapped Guo Yan like a cage, and the True Duke Of Dingxiang was unable to break free. Her Star Weapon "Reverent Spirit" already glowed with five stars, her saber technique rampaged endlessly, and her Star Energy surged, yet she was still unable to shake off the Bagua.

Guo Yan sensed the Tyrant's displeasure. Not daring to underestimate the girl, she then used a Yellow Rank.

Saber-light broke through Gen, Zhen, Kan, and Dui in succession. The Red Fragrant Child threw her punches, their shadows rising like a gust, whoosh!

The Red Fragrant Child's punch-wind already slipped through Guo Yan's openings and struck her in the chest, practically touching her armor. Seeing her punches land, the girl did not dare delay. She punched in again and again, and that splintered Bagua cycled once more in her punch-wind.

It turned into the Earlier Heaven Bagua Diagram once more.

Situated in the midst of Qian and Kun, listening to the qi of the eight winds, drawing the Bagua, simply undefeated. A cultivator could surmount a difference of two or three Realms with this ability. A Star General who learned its profundity could fight evenly with a top-notch Star General. But it was a pity; had an average Earthly Star been under even just a bit of its power, they would hardly be able to escape defeat.

But the Red Fragrant Child's opponent was Heavenly Yanwen Star True Duke Of Dingxiang Guo Yan, one of the Nine Elders Of Sui.

She had an abundance of experience.

The Yellow Rank was once again about to be bound by the Bagua. At the moment punch-wind stuck to her skin and was about to enter, Guo Yan spurred forth her Star Energy like a vortex. A True Phoenix appeared and immediately knocked aside the punch-wind.

The Red Fragrant Child only felt herself powerless to resist, unable to defend. Her punches immediately were thrown into disarray. That position of Qian and Kun was unsteady.

Her breath destabilized, her trigrams dispersed.

Guo Yan's Dark Rank "Chained Bells." The bells on the blade's chains rang, saber-qi linked together, and it sliced the Earlier Heaven Bagua Diagram to ribbons, unable to recover.

The Red Fragrant Child watched the incoming Dark Rank. Though her face was pale, she did not panic. She kicked with her legs and used the Star-stepping Battle Steps. Like walking the seven stars, these "Seven Star Steps" were also practiced to perfection, and she evaded this mortal saber-qi.

But Guo Yan was relentless. Her remaining Dark Rank power was like a tidal wave that crashed over the Red Fragrant Child.

That red robe on her body was immediately punctured with several dozen holes. The girl took seven steps backwards, barely steadying herself with the Seven Star Steps. With the Earlier Heaven Bagua Diagram gone, the Red Fragrant Child had nothing else to depend on. Her power was weak to the extreme.

"To be able to make me use Dark Rank, your technique is indeed formidable. However, a pity that is still incomplete. It is a waste on you." The woman coldly said. From her perspective, this girl in a red robe had received Chen Tuan's Daoist true teachings, but it was regrettable that her Realm was honestly too weak. If she had been a bit stronger, not even Heavenly Spirit Three Calamities, but even Yellow Court Realm, she could not be defeated.

Of course, this girl's Star Name was not so simple, to be able to make a technique become so fearsome.

Guo Yan steeled her killing intent.

She took up her Reverent Spirit Saber. Suddenly, she wrinkled her brow. The golden blood remaining on her blade…This girl's blood was surprisingly gold in color.

"Golden blood…This is very curious. How can there be such a person?"

"Probably related to that Earlier Heaven Bagua."

The surrounding people were also shocked. Blood was red, unless they were a Divine Beast or Demon Beast, in which case they would have a different color. Of course, perhaps such a change would occur if an unusual martial art was practiced.

However, the Red Fragrant Child's golden blood was truly beautiful, sparkling like gold under the sun. Paired with the Red Fragrant Child's distinct fragrance, she brimmed with the aura of a honorable royal.

Guo Yan was displeased. With a series of quick and small steps, she arrived like a shadow in front of the Red Fragrant Child.

"Xiang'er." Jiang Kui cried out in worry.

The Red Fragrant Child's little hand moved to block and was cut by the saber. The girl screamed in pain. Guo Yan's expression was cruel, completely merciless. The Reverent Spirit Saber endlessly slashed the Red Fragrant Child's body.

The Red Fragrant Child barely produced True Qi, but she was no match at all. Guo Yan's Star ENergy cut her body. Terrifying wounds intersected all over her body, and blood sprayed into the air.

To see a little girl scream, even the most iron-blooded cultivators were unsettled, after all, she was only a seven or eight year old child, yet she was made to suffer lingchi in front of everyone. 

Yang Guang sneered. She had looked forward to such a scene for too long.

Jiang Kui buried her face in Mi Ji's chest, unable to watch. Tan Daoji averted her eyes as well, for she could not bear to see this with her own eyes.

"Ancestor!" Chen Mo looked to Chen Xian'er.

"If the Red Fragrant Child wants her Star Name to be born, she must pass through this tribulation." Chen Tuan calmly said: "Only a feat like this can bear it."

Everyone was flabbergasted.

"What Star Name requires a price like a Starfall?" Chen Mosaw that the Red Fragrant Child was already on the verge of Starfall.

Chen Xian'er did not speak further.

Guo Yan slashed hundreds of times. The Red Fragrant Child's red robe was already stained completely with her blood, and her peculiar scent filled the world and wrapped around Mount Hua. Flowers seemed to bloom everywhere.

Guo Yan stopped her attacks, her brow furrowed.

What is this? She clearly slashed a hundred times, but she nevertheless did not feel anything, as if her attacks struck not flesh but air.

The girl's red robe was completely stained gold, mixed with her fragrance.

All of a sudden, all light in the world concentrated into a single point and shone on the Red Fragrant Child. Then, her red robe molted to become a yellow robe. The girl's forehead was branded with a Star Crest, surprisingly manifesting a True Dragon.

Chen Mo felt this scene was apparently a bit familiar.

"Yellow Robe Ascension?"

Sifting through Chinese historical tales, Chen Mo suddenly remembered and was stunned.

"Hurry and kill her!!"

Yang Su screamed.

Guo Yan slashed.

Earth Rank – Great Sacrifice Divine Slash!

  1. This is going to be cliche. Chen Tuan isn't confident in her because she gave the Red Fragrant Child the diagram. She gave the diagram because she was already confident in her. ?
