Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Rejection
Upon entering the forbidden room, Lin Zheng greeted with a smile.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng opened his eyes, somewhat surprised. The Jade Stone Room could be said to be the most precious place for the Lin Family. The elders also held it in high regard. It was known that when Lin Zihua previously proposed to use the Jade Stone Room to aid in cultivation, Lin Dong had rejected the idea.
"Now you are our family’s Ninth Grade Star, and naturally, the Elders hold you in high regard. However, you can only enter the Jade Stone Room to cultivate for seven days," Lin Zheng said.
Seven days?
Lin Feng thought it was a pity. Seven days seemed short, but it didn’t matter. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to break through to around the peak of the Sixth Layer in seven days.
It was on the third day of Lin Feng’s cultivation in the Jade Stone Room.
Several important figures arrived at the Lin Family Mansion. A flying Demon Beast circled above, and many people in Boyang City saw this huge Demon Beast for the first time and were shocked to see a beast being enslaved.
"Are you the Lin Family of Boyang City?"
A middle-aged man jumped down from the back of the Demon Beast, followed by several young men, all glancing around.
"May I ask who you are?"
Sensing the rampant aura of the demon beast, Lin Zheng came out immediately and was startled when he saw the Demon Beast.
Could it be a Demon Phase comparable to an Earth Martial Master?
"Star Palace!"
The middle-aged man calmly uttered three words, causing the expressions of several Lin Family elders to change immediately, showing deep respect.
"So, it’s an esteemed person from the Star Palace, please forgive us for not welcoming you from afar," Lin Zheng said with a chill in his heart, immediately bowing deeply with cupped fists.
"No worries, I heard someone from your family has communicated with the Ninth Grade Star. Call them out. Let me have a look. If indeed he is a Ninth Grade Star, according to our Star Palace’s rules, he deserves a reward!"
The middle-aged man spoke indifferently, with his hands behind his back.
Upon hearing this, several elderly members of the Lin Family were overjoyed. This was a super power spread throughout the mainland.
"Quickly, go call Lin Feng!" Lin Zheng also suppressed his immense joy. If his son could be favored by the Star Palace, wouldn’t that be soaring to the skies?
Lin Feng was soon brought out from the Jade Stone Room by the Great Elder. On the way, the Great Elder, both excited and careful, said to him, "Lin Feng, the dignitary from the Star Palace has come to see you to determine if you really are a Ninth Grade Star. If so, they will bestow a great gift on you. You must perform well in front of this dignitary. If you can join the Star Palace in the future, it will be a meteoric rise."
Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart. The Star Palace! He had never dealt with the Star Palace in his previous life, but he had heard many tales about this super organization. The Star Palace was indeed a colossal organization, with its internals always shrouded in mystery. Who was the strongest in the Star Palace was unknown; even the internal power divisions were hidden, yet it dominated all other powers.
The news Lin Feng received was mostly about the Star Palace destroying various powers and cults.
Instinctively, Lin Feng did not want to be involved with this power. However, he hadn’t expected that his communication with the Ninth Grade Star would attract them, causing him to worry whether he might reveal secrets about the Mo Yu Demon Dragon or the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book. If those were exposed, Lin Feng’s situation would undoubtedly be life-threatening.
Although he didn’t know much about the Star Palace, he understood human nature very well.
It seemed that it knew his thoughts; the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book suddenly emitted a faint light. On a dragon scale where the Shield Bone Dragon pattern was, the image of the Shield Bone Dragon disappeared, transforming into a massive white War Giant Elephant. All of this, Lin Feng didn’t know, as he somberly followed the Great Elder to the middle-aged man.
Earth Martial Master at the Ninth Layer Peak.
Upon first seeing this middle-aged man, Lin Feng discerned his strength, and the man also caught sight of him and instantly let out a light exclamation.
"Not bad, come here."
As he spoke, he gestured for Lin Feng to come over.
Lin Feng, feeling resigned as the bow is drawn and the arrow must be fired, could only adapt to the situation and thus walked over.
"Release your Star so I can see," said the middle-aged man.
Lin Feng did as instructed and released his Ninth Grade Star, but the moment he did, he himself was stunned. How, how did it turn into a War Giant Elephant? 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
That giant Star, was it not the War Giant Elephant? Though it was also a powerful Beast Star, enhancing strength and defense, it still fell short compared to the Shield Bone Dragon.
Lin Feng was suddenly astonished, "Could it be because of the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book? Does the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book possess its own thoughts, even the ability to peek into my inner thoughts? Knowing my concerns, it then changed its own Star?"
A thought crossed Lin Feng’s mind, he secretly concluded that must be the case.
"Is that actually the War Giant Elephant?"
The middle-aged man showed a hint of movement, and then released his own Star, which turned out to be a peculiar Octagonal Copper Mirror, a type of auxiliary Star among miscellaneous Stars, each with unique appearances and functions, not suitable for combat but their sole purpose was various kinds of detection and probing.
Like this middle-aged man’s Octagonal Copper Mirror Star, its function allowed him to clearly and accurately judge the Stars of others.
"It indeed is a Ninth Grade Star!"
After a moment, the middle-aged man nodded, and several elders from the Lin Family all sighed in relief, their eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
"In the Star Palace, we have a treaty. Anyone whose Star reaches the Ninth Grade can enter our Star Palace for cultivation. Would you like to go?"
As the middle-aged man said this, there was a trace of pride in his eyes. In his view, this young man before him would probably be overjoyed and agree without a second thought. Although Hu Ben Country was a small nation with few Ninth Graders, there would still be one every few years, and he was responsible for managing them. Usually, as soon as he made this offer, the other party would immediately nod in agreement.
He thought that this youngster would react similarly.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I already have a goal." However, Lin Feng declined, did not even hesitate, and directly refused.
This made the middle-aged man stunned; frowning, he said, "Are you sure? I represent Star Palace, and I do not speak in jest."
He could not believe it and even thought Lin Feng overthought it, presuming he said such things just for amusement, so he asked once more.
Yet Lin Feng still refused, undoubtedly firm in his decision.
"Some people actually refuse the Star Palace."
"Who knows what’s on their mind."
"Who knows, maybe he has a goal that he thinks is more formidable than the Star Palace."
"Haha, is there any place in the world more formidable than the Star Palace? Maybe it’s their family’s privy?"
The apprentices behind the middle-aged man started whispering, looking at Lin Feng with disdain.
