Chapter 677: The Other Side of the Void, the Secret Realm of Stars

Gu Jiuchen passed through numerous void turbulences, surrounded by the increasingly solid power of space. Every step he took seemed to be stepping on the boundless veins of the universe.

The desire for the unknown in his heart was like a blazing fire, driving him to keep moving forward and explore the wider world.

As the space continued to twist and expand, Gu Jiuchen's eyes suddenly lit up, and an unprecedented scene appeared in front of him.

Here is no longer a monotonous light spot intertwined with undercurrents, but a dazzling starry sky. The stars are like pearls embedded in the black sky, each one exuding a soft and mysterious light.

"Is this... the other side of the void that I am pursuing?" Gu Jiuchen murmured to himself, feeling an indescribable excitement in his heart.

He knew very well that being able to come here meant that he had crossed the threshold that countless practitioners dreamed of and entered the ranks of the truly strong.

Just as Gu Jiuchen was immersed in this shock, a crisp and sweet piano sound suddenly floated from the starry sky, like the sound of nature, washing his soul.

He followed the sound and saw a quaint palace suspended in the void on a huge star not far away. Outside the palace, a woman in white was sitting in front of the guqin. She played with her fingertips every time. Every note contains the truth of heaven and earth and is thought-provoking.

Gu Jiuchen was curious, and with a movement of his body, he came to the woman in white.

He bowed his hands and said: "I, Gu Jiuchen, accidentally entered this place and disturbed the fairy's elegant mood. I hope you will forgive me."

When the woman in white heard the words, she smiled slightly, as if the spring breeze was blowing on her face, making her feel relaxed and happy. "Young Master, you're welcome. This place is called the 'Star Palace'. It is the place left by my master. Anyone who is destined can enter. My name is Yun Xi, and I am the guardian of this Star Palace."

When Gu Jiuchen heard this, he secretly marveled that the owner of the Star Palace must be an extraordinary person to leave such mysterious relics.

He saluted again and said: "Fairy Yunxi, I am a cultivator. I have the opportunity to step into this place. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see the secrets of the Star Palace?"

Yun Xi nodded and said: "Since the young master has this intention, I should lead it myself. However, there are many tests hidden in the Star Palace. Only those who pass the test can see the true inheritance left by the master."

When Gu Jiuchen heard this, a look of perseverance flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Don't worry, fairy, I, Gu Jiuchen, have gone through countless hardships and tests since I started practicing, so why bother!"

So, under the leadership of Yun Xi, Gu Jiuchen stepped into the gate of Xingchen Palace.

Inside the palace gate is a road paved with star fragments. Every step seems to be stepping on a river of stars, making people involuntarily intoxicated.

However, Gu Jiuchen knew that this path was not as simple as it appeared. Every step contained hidden mysteries, testing the practitioner's character and wisdom.

He calmed down and worked step by step. With his perseverance and deep understanding of the power of space, he resolved various tests on the road one by one.

When he finally reached the end of the road, a huge stone tablet came into view. On the stone tablet, there were densely engraved runes, and each rune contained profound space laws.

"Is this what your master left behind?" Gu Jiuchen's heart moved, and he was about to step forward to check, but suddenly he felt a powerful force pouring out of the stone tablet, enveloping him entirely.

"Sir, be careful, this is one of the tests left by Master, called 'Space Enlightenment'!" Yun Xi's voice came from a distance, reminding Gu Jiuchen.

Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated, immersing all his mind in this power.

He seemed to be in an endless void, surrounded by endless darkness and nothingness. Only the runes flickered in the darkness, like a beacon guiding him forward.

He tried to understand the laws of space contained in these runes, and each realization gave him a deeper understanding of the power of space.

After an unknown amount of time, when Gu Jiuchen opened his eyes again, he found that he was already standing in front of the stone tablet, and those runes seemed to have been integrated into the depths of his soul and became the most precious wealth on his path of cultivation.

"I...succeeded?" Gu Jiuchen murmured to himself, his face filled with indescribable joy.

He turned to look at Yun Xi, only to see the latter looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of approval.

"Congratulations, young master, for passing Master's test and obtaining the inheritance in the Star Palace." Yun Xi's voice was like the spring breeze blowing on his face, making Gu Jiuchen feel even more comfortable.

Gu Jiuchen saluted and thanked Yun Xi again, and then immersed himself in this inheritance.

He found that his control over the power of space had reached an unprecedented level, and he could even create his own space domain. In this domain, he was the master and could control everything around him at will.

In the Palace of Stars, the light was shining brightly. Gu Jiuchen stood in front of the stone tablet, feeling the new power surging in his body, and his heart was filled with excitement.

He knew that this was not only an improvement in strength, but also a profound understanding of the laws of space, and a solid step on the road to becoming strong.

Fairy Yun Xi looked at Gu Jiuchen with a smile, her eyes flashing with approval and expectation. "Sir, you have passed Master's preliminary test, but the secrets in the Star Palace are far more than that. The next road will be more difficult and full of opportunities."

When Gu Jiuchen heard this, his eyes were firm and he cupped his hands and said: "Fairy Yunxi, now that I, Gu Jiuchen, have stepped into this place, I am not afraid of any challenges. Please lead the way and let me continue to explore the secrets of the Star Palace."

Yun Xi nodded gently, and moved forward, leading Gu Jiuchen to go deeper into the Star Palace.

The space inside the palace is vast and boundless, and every place exudes a mysterious atmosphere, as if hiding countless unknown secrets.

As they go deeper, ancient palaces gradually come into view, and each palace exudes a different light, as if telling its own story.

Gu Jiuchen is curious, but also remains vigilant. He knows that every place here may be a new test.

"Young Master, please look." Yun Xi pointed to the most dazzling palace in front. Above the palace, the stars flow, as if the essence of the entire universe is condensed here. "That is the core of the Star Palace - the 'Star Palace'. The true inheritance of the master is hidden here. But before that, you still need to pass the final test."

Gu Jiuchen looked at the dazzling Star Palace, and a strong desire surged in his heart.

He knew that this would be an important turning point in his practice and the ultimate test of his strength and will.

"Fairy Yun Xi, please tell me, what is this final test?" Gu Jiuchen asked in a deep voice.

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "This final test is called the 'Star Trial'. You need to enter the trial space in the Star Hall and face the deepest fear and desire in your heart. Only by defeating them can you get the true inheritance of the master."

Gu Jiuchen's eyes flickered when he heard this, and a fighting spirit surged in his heart.

He understood that this was not only a test of strength, but also a test of character. He took a deep breath and walked towards the Star Hall, and every step seemed so firm.

In the Star Hall, the light was brilliant, and a dazzling starry sky came into view.

Gu Jiuchen saw that the space around him was distorted and changed, as if he was in an endless void.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling everything around him, preparing to welcome the upcoming trial.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure descended from the void, enveloping Gu Jiuchen.

He only felt his mind tremble, as if countless voices were echoing in his ears, that was the fear and desire in his deepest heart.

"Hmph, a mere illusion, you want to confuse me, Gu Jiuchen?" Gu Jiuchen snorted coldly, his mind was focused, and he instantly defeated those illusions. He knew that a true strong man must not only have powerful strength, but also have an unwavering heart.

As the illusion dissipated, the space in the Star Hall began to change, and space cracks appeared around Gu Jiuchen, as if to swallow him.

But he was not afraid, but faced the difficulties, relying on his deep understanding of the power of space, he resolved these crises one by one.

Finally, after countless challenges and hardships, Gu Jiuchen came to the deepest part of the Star Hall.

I saw an ancient book quietly suspended on a huge altar, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

"Is this the real inheritance?" Gu Jiuchen murmured to himself, with an indescribable excitement in his heart.

He walked forward, slowly stretched out his hand, and held the ancient book in his hand.

In an instant, a huge stream of information poured into Gu Jiuchen's mind, which was the endless knowledge and wisdom left by the master of the Star Palace.

He seemed to be in a vast universe, feeling the mystery and power of the laws of space.

I don't know how long it took, when Gu Jiuchen opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of depth and wisdom.

He knew that he had obtained the true inheritance of the master of the Star Palace, and his control over the power of space had reached an unprecedented height.

"Fairy Yun Xi, thank you for your guidance." Gu Jiuchen turned and looked at Yun Xi, his gratitude overflowing. He knew that without Yun Xi's help and guidance, he would not have been able to pass the test so smoothly and get this inheritance.

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said, "You are too polite, this is the result of your own efforts and persistence. The master of the Star Palace once said that those who are destined will get it. You are that person with destiny."
