Chapter 497: 497: Exposed Star
The night conversation between the two ladies continues. The Primordial Poison Witch accompanied the Moon Goddess all night and told her anything she can remember about the Immortal World. The Immortal World in which she and her elder sister yearns to return to.
Tang Yuri said, "Aside from the Immortal Moon Palace, only the Lei Royal Clan and the Death Valley remained from the original big families. As for the sect, the Primordial Demon Sect, the Buddha Temple and Mystic Jade Sect remain. They didn’t surrender under the Star Emperor and the Fairy Queen. It’s because they have Immortal Emperors that they are able to reject them."
"Moreover, the Immortal Star Emperor didn’t exterminate them like the Immortal Sun Empire as they needed them to balance the power in the Immortal World. These are some old sects and clans with a long history behind."
"How about the situation at the Cosmos Battlefield?" Yue Xuexia asked.
’According to the information the Divine Doctor, this Battlefield is something the immortal emperor cultivators are to join mandatory. The result of this battlefield will result only in two: Aborigines successfully defend and Intruders successful entrance to their world. The latter would cause cosmos wars.’
Unfortunately, the Primordial Poison Witch isn’t as powerful as an Immortal Emperor Cultivator and didn’t know anything about this subject.
Tang Yuri asked, "Cosmos Battlefield? What is this, Senior?"
"... If you don’t know then... Forget about it. You can go and rest now." Yue Xuexia said as she asked the Primordial Poison Witch to leave.
Tang Yuri, knowing that she was being asked to leave, stood up and bowed her head once again bidding her farewell.
"Have a pleasant evening. I shall take my leave now," said the Primordial Poison Witch as she flew away returning to where her disciples were.
After she left the eyes of the Moon Goddess who was left behind had turned serious and profound.
She murmured, "You wouldn’t be too foolish to sell your world to the outsiders aren’t you? Or maybe you are one of them from the beginning, Immortal Star Emperor? If so... It’s no wonder you killed the strongest guardian of this star, the Immortal Sun Emperor."
Yue Xuexia closed her eyes, "Lately, I had been dreaming a lot of things. Not only my life when I lived as the Moon Empress but something else unknown and others had longed forgotten."

At the Starfield Sect...
The Supreme Elder, Xia Lianyu had received a letter from Tan Bingyu. She had immediately informed the elder about her mistress’s intention to go on a journey while finding the others on the way. Xia Lianyu was enjoying the breakfast his wife, Su Hialun had made while reading the letter he had just received.
"So Xue’er is currently at the Herb Valley. A journey alone is it? With her cultivation, in this realm those who can become her enemies can only be counted by hand. No worries about Xue’er. What I am worried about is that there is still no news about Su Luli and the others. Though they would be lucky if Yuya is with them, if not then..."
Xia Lianyu was mumbling at the table while his Elven Wife, Hialun, was arranging the meals for the two of them.
"Believe in the children. You know that Xue’er is strong so there is no need to worry about her. Yuya is also extraordinary. He should have a way to pull Lili and his other daughters with him when we are teleported to this realm. At least I saw him make a move before we were teleported to this realm," Su Hialun said.
At his wife’s words, Xia Lianyu felt a bit calmer. He knew that his wife was right. All of them are cultivators, in a way they should be able to be capable of protecting themselves. Yue Xuexia had given them lots of treasure before leaving the Mortal Realm. The one he should be worried about are the others who had come with them.
Xia Lianyu said, "You are right, wife. I should focus on something else instead of worrying about the children."
All of the sudden, a young man arrived in the crimson tower where they are in. This is a child the two of them had picked up on the way and made their disciple. This child is quite handsome and seems to be gentle by nature. His name is Xia Baiyu. The Supreme Elder allowed him to use his family name and considered him as his successor due to his high talent of Star reading and Divination.
Xia Baiyu had softer features yet masculine at the same time. He looked like how a holy son should look. His medium length blond hair was tied to one side and his eyes were violet.
He said, "Master, Mistress, a message from the Sect Master. He said to prepare for the opening of the Ancient Ruins?"
"Did he say when it will open?" Xia Lianyu asked while Su Hialun pulled the child over to join them to eat breakfast.
While holding a bowl of seafood porridge, Xia Baiyu answered, "He said that it will open three years later."
"You two eat first before talking about business!" Su Hialun said.
The master and his disciple responded, "Yes!"

Meanwhile at the boundary of the Mortal and the Cultivation Realm.
All this time, the reason why the Immortal Sun Emperor and his Great General, Taiyang weren’t able to enter the cultivation realm wasn’t only because the heavenly laws of the world is preventing them from entering but also because the cover that hides this small star had started malfunctioning exposing its existence to the outsiders.
Though the numbers of Void Refining (Mahayana) Realm Cultivators is rare in this Exiled Star, to other mid or high ranked worlds, Mahayama Realm Cultivators are normal. Now that the Exiled Star had exposed its coordinates, a lot of cultivators who deemed this star as a doomed star would come over to check if there are resources in this place.
At the spatial region, two cultivators in ancient robes were flying around between other stars and noticed the Exiled Star whose defensive formation was malfunctioning.
"Since when did stars appear here?"
"This color and shape. Isn’t this the Exiled Star?"
"Exiled Star? You mean that Prison Star! Shit! Look, it had no defensive cover. Will the prisoners escape from there!"
"But is this truly a Prison Star? Look at its color and the energy coming from it. It feels like a semi-high grade star."
"You are right. The world qi in this world is thin but it’s getting stronger. Is there an Earth grade treasure inside?"
"Do you want to check?"
"Will we be alright?"
"How about just looking and not descending?"
"Alright. That should be alright."
The two cultivators got close to the Exiled Star and the moment they got closer they realized that this is not a dead world at all. They even saw something extremely amazing.
"What the hell? Is that... Is that... fuck! Am I seeing things!?"
"That’s a world tree sapling!"
"So I am not seeing things. This is Heaven-grade treasure!"
"Hehe~ It’s gonna be mine!"
The two race to enter the Exiled Star however, even before they can enter the atmosphere of the Exiled Star, an extremely fast flash of red hits them. They were cut into half. Not only that, from that clean cut a red gold flames combusted their body and soul. This also affected their real bodies even if they are clones. After all, the flame that burned them down had a soul extinguishing effect.
The one who made that slash is none other than the handsome man with long crimson hair wearing a black gold ancient robes only emperors of ancient time wore. She stood in space holding a black sword as his golden irises turned cold while staring at the direction where those two men just combusted.
This is Shen Jueyang who was about to completely heal his soul injuries and returned to his peak strength.
"Coveting something isn’t yours. You deserve death," the one who said this is none other than Taiyang who was floating in space with his master.
"These guys are like bugs. Main body, we should repair the defensive formation of this star as soon as possible or more bugs like this will appear," said Taiyang.
The Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang, said, "I don’t have the materials. I can only ask Xue’er to gather it for us. Can you defend this place on your own?"
"Haha~ piece of cake. Unless that bastard emperor appears I can eliminate anyone!" Declared Taiyang. As for the bastard emperor in his mouth, it’s the Immortal Star Emperor who landed them in this situation.
Suddenly recalled how the Heavenly Laws blocked them out of the world, "Would the will of the world let you borrow the system avatar?"
"He is two unless he wants to get beaten up by me~" said Shen Jueyang, the Immortal Sun Emperor.
Taiyang watches from a distance as his king approaches the world only to be blocked by the will of the world again. They two started fighting verbally for a long time before the Heavenly Laws somehow got convinced and his lord was able to borrow the system’s avatar again.
Taiyang mumbles, "Maybe if you are this human-like from the beginning, the Moon Empress wouldn’t have suffered much and for you two to end like this."
"Xue’er is different from the old Moon Empress. She would have lived her life to the end even if it’s hard on her own. Even if we didn’t appear in her life, she is strong enough on her own."
