Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"Sect Leader, He Xian requests an audience!" Outside the Cloud Top Palace, a stunningly dressed female cultivator, holding a flower lantern, gracefully descended.

"Come in, He Xian. You're conveniently free today, and I have a task for you to carry out!"

"Go find the young one called Yi Chengzi and ask if he's willing to join our Heavenly Star Sect."

"If he is willing, we shall list him as a candidate for the All Stars Dao Fruit in advance, and whatever cultivation resources he desires, our Heavenly Star Sect will strive to fulfill."

Zhan Xingzi glanced at the palace-dressed woman below him, his expression unchanged as he pondered for a moment before continuing,

"Hmm, didn't he say he likes beauty and wealth? Tell him, our Heavenly Star Sect's rules do not forbid indulgence in the company of women; as long as he does not employ force, he is free to do as he pleases. Just as long as he agrees to join our Heavenly Star Sect, while I cannot grant him beauty, I can make an exception and allow him to cultivate within the treasury of Heavenly Star. "

"That is where our Sect stores a vast amount of Jade Coins, treasures, and elixirs—a place I believe will bring him considerable pleasure."

"As long as he shows sufficient ability, I will allow him to take treasures of appropriate value according to his cultivation level upon leaving the retreat. How much he can take will depend on his own skills."

"Remember, if he agrees, you will be in charge of escorting him back to the Heavenly Star Sect for seclusion. This youngster, known for the name of a prodigal Daoist, has caused trouble for the True Blood Sect and the Ghost Worship Sect, putting everyone on edge. I'm concerned that practitioners from those sects, who've reached the Immortal Platform Realm, might cast aside their dignity and secretly strike to kill him. It's a good time for him to lay low for a while."

Thinking of the intelligence reports about internal rifts within the True Blood Sect and the Ghost Worship Sect that he had received, Zhan Xingzi's stern face couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

This was certainly one of the few pieces of good news he had received these days.

Time isn't on our side at present. The Sect Hierarch of the Ghost Worship Sect and Blood Dragon Son of the True Blood Sect are currently at the peak of their power, with the Heavenly Ghost Dao Fruit and Blood Demon Dao Fruit nearing revival. The only way to break the current deadlock is to discover the reincarnation of the Ancestor Master as soon as possible, prompting the return of the All Stars Dao Fruit, otherwise, the day of disaster draws near.

"This...very well," He Xian said.

"Hehe, He Xian, you must be wondering why I didn't send Li Yan for this task," Zhan Xingzi said.

"I know you have reservations about Yi Chengzi and favor Situ Zhaixing. However, you must not treat them differently. Although Yi Chengzi may have flaws in small matters, his integrity in significant matters is impeccable. Situ Zhaixing follows the path of a Sword Cultivator, so I've already sent Li Yan with him to guide his retreat. With Li Yan's guidance and various Spirit Pills and elixirs, I hope that upon leaving his retreat, Situ Zhaixing may surpass all and become a true All Stars Dao Fruit." Zhan Xingzi's eyes flashed with insight as he carefully admonished.

Hearing Zhan Xingzi's words, as if her thoughts had been seen through, He Xian couldn't hide a touch of embarrassment on her face:

"Sect Leader, He Xian has learned her lesson."

"I will be impartial towards Yi Chengzi. On the way escorting him back to the mountain, I will also carefully guide his cultivation. Sect Leader, you can rest assured, the Sect's significant matters, He Xian dares not mix with personal sentiment."

"However, I still believe that given Situ Zhaixing's rapid progress, he is sure to overtake Yi Chengzi in the future and become the true All Stars Dao Fruit. In my tens of thousands of years of cultivation, I have never seen such a talented cultivator."

"Hmm, as long as you understand the urgency of the matter, He Xian, that's good. Whether it's Situ Zhaixing, Yi Chengzi, or someone else, I have given them the utmost support according to their own conditions. Their future achievements will depend on themselves,"

"Just be careful on your journey. Go now; Yi Chengzi is currently enjoying himself in the Qiluo Palace at Star Moon City."

He Xian: "....."

Hearing the name of Qiluo Palace, He Xian couldn't help but feel speechless again, and she cast a puzzled glance at the Sect Leader, only to see Zhan Xingzi had already waved his hand, indicating for her to leave.

....

....

The Qiluo Palace was floating ten feet above the ground in the middle of Star Moon City.

The palace, with its azure blue glazed tile roof, looked more like a deep expanse of the sky, silently blooming in a corner of the Mortal World.

The Qiluo Palace is renowned throughout the East Continent. As the largest center for cultivators to connect and exchange in Star Moon City, and the designated strategic partner for the largest import and export trade in the East Continent, the Qiluo Palace is undoubtedly extremely successful in a certain domain.

They detected the customers' needs at the earliest opportunity, responded swiftly, and arranged agilely, which led to the establishment of this branch in Star Moon City today.

At this moment.

The sound of water flowing.

Amidst the rising steam, a robust figure sat leisurely in a hot spring pool, and to his side appeared a stunningly beautiful silhouette.

The shadow cast upon the wall presented an enchanting figure, exceptionally graceful and alluring.

What's more, this person had a past encounter with Yi Chen. She was none other than the female cultivator known as Wanwan, who had previously been sought after by a middle-aged cultivator and Mei Gongzi of the Jiangyou Alliance at the Gathering Stars Tavern.

For some reason, she now appeared before him, smiling charmingly.

"Taoist Yi Chengzi seems not to be surprised to see Wanwan here. Were the sisters just now not to your liking?" the feather-robed beauty asked enticingly, approaching Yi Chen. A jade hand played with the clear water of the hot spring pool, her voice soft as she inquired about Yi Chen's impressive stature.

Her tone melted like butter, her charm captivating. As she leaned slightly to the side, a striking scar inadvertently revealed added an intriguing allure to her already magnetic presence.

"Whether Wanwan matters to this humble Taoist Priest is not important. The Qiluo Palace's name is known throughout the world. I've heard it said that 'reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles'; I am merely here to see for myself what methods the famous Qiluo Palace employs."
