Chapter 598 - 597: Celestial Star Descent

Chapter 598: Chapter 597: Celestial Star Descent

Afterward, Jiang Zuo asked Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen held nothing back, and Jiang Zuo’s expression grew even stranger.

’The Celestial Tribulation just appeared and struck something else?’

’Was it drunk?’

Of course, that was impossible. But could misfortune truly influence a Celestial Tribulation?

It seemed impossible no matter how he looked at it.

But the misfortune had to be involved. ’So, am I supposed to take the fall for this?’

Jiang Zuo felt the situation was spiraling out of control. ’This is going to be a huge mess to clean up.’

Who would have thought that a tiny Misfortune Coin could cause all this?

Still, as long as Su Qi stayed by his side, it wouldn’t be a major problem.

He just needed to reach a higher level. Tier Seven, Tier Eight, Tier Nine—one of those Tiers would surely be enough to handle it.

Others might not be able to solve it even at Tier Nine.

Jiang Zuo actually hoped he could fix it himself. After all, it could serve as a form of atonement. Maybe then Su Qi would forgive him.

Jiang Zuo sighed. ’I’ll just eat some meat for now. I’ll worry about this stuff when I get caught.’

Unlike the Balance Cabinet, the Misfortune Coin couldn’t simply be sent back or taken away.

The damage was done.

’If worse comes to worst, I’ll just have to find a way to twist the facts.’

For example: ’I did it to keep you by my side forever.’

’Hmm, that’s worth considering.’

Saintess Pool

"Senior Sister, I should just leave. If this continues, I’ll drag you all down with me."

At this moment, everyone except Su Qi was absorbing the energy.

Jingyue, however, was only absorbing superficially so she could talk to Su Qi.

As for why Su Qi wasn’t absorbing anything, that was Jingyue’s fault for asking if she was choking on it.

It made Su Qi so nervous that she actually did end up choking.

Not in her throat, but the mark on her body felt blocked, which was incredibly uncomfortable.

Since she couldn’t absorb the Immortal Spiritual Qi, she might as well leave.

"No, you can’t. Even though you can’t actively absorb it, the mark is like it’s breathing in here. It will slowly take in the Immortal Spiritual Qi, which is incredibly beneficial for you.

As long as your life isn’t in danger, they won’t let you out.

This is a rare opportunity," Jingyue said.

Absorbing Immortal Spiritual Qi indeed offered them many benefits.

It could extend their Summoning time, save their lives at critical moments, improve their Cultivation, and help them comprehend more profound concepts. In short, if they missed this chance, it was gone for good.

No matter what, even just having Su Qi lie here would bring some benefits.

Therefore, sending her out would be too great a loss.

Su Qi said, "Then can you let my husband come over? I’ll come back in two days. Or even just one day is fine."

Jingyue replied, "Use your brain. Your husband’s aura is so overwhelming, this place would probably just block you out."

"But it was like that when I first came in," Su Qi said.

Jingyue paused. ’That’s true.’

Then Jingyue said, "Well, go contact Master Qing Yue then. See if she agrees."

So, Su Qi went to find Qing Yue, but the answer she got was: "Permission denied. As a Candidacy Saintess, how can you be thinking about your husband all day? What kind of behavior is that?"

Su Qi’s response was: "Master, you’re single, so you don’t understand the feeling. You’ve been single for hundreds of years. You’re too old to get it."

In the end, Su Qi was thrown into the waters of the Saintess Pool.

She had just fallen in and already swallowed several mouthfuls of water.

Jingyue asked, "How’s my bathwater taste?"

Su Qi: "..., Senior Sister, you’re disgusting. But how do I get out? Am I going to drown?"

Jingyue closed her eyes and said, "Don’t worry, your Misfortune Coin won’t let you die. Just stay in the water and relax.

I think they’ll have to let you out sooner or later, and they’ll probably be desperate to do it.

After all, that’s how I felt when you were at my place."

Jingyue was on guard. Su Qi, during one of her misfortune outbreaks, was quite terrifying.

She didn’t dare to get close.

Su Qi didn’t believe a word Jingyue said. No matter how unlucky she got, Master Qing Yue would never send her out.

’A single Master like her must be jealous of someone like me, who is loved and cherished.’

Outside, Qing Yue sighed. ’How did the Holy Land end up with these two disappointing Saintesses?’

Still, she tried to find a way to contact Jiu Xi’s partner.

It would take time for him to arrive, at least until tomorrow.

By the time Jiang Zuo finished his Yongxi Flesh, it was already very late.

"Is it dawn already?" Lu Zhen suddenly exclaimed.

He had been pouring tea for Jiang Zuo when he suddenly noticed a light up ahead and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Jiang Zuo saw it too, of course. But it couldn’t be dawn. Something must be happening outside.

Jiang Zuo decided to go out and take a look, and Lu Zhen followed him.

But when they got outside, Lu Zhen froze completely, his eyes wide with shock.

Jiang Zuo was also exceptionally stunned.

What did they see?

A massive meteor was descending from the sky, blazing with immense fire and carrying a terrifying impact.

If it crashed down like this, Chuanhe Town would be doomed.

"Wh-what’s happening?" Lu Zhen asked.

Jiang Zuo said, "Just think of it as a meteor falling."

"But... what’s a meteor?" Lu Zhen asked.

Jiang Zuo didn’t even want to explain. He frowned as he watched the meteor.

’How should I put this... It looks familiar. It should be the Celestial Star Descent.’

"The Celestial Star Descent?" At that moment, the Tofu Boss also came out.

Lu Zhen asked curiously, "What is the Celestial Star Descent?"

"Simply put, it’s a gateway to the Celestial Star. It’s the Immortal Mansion of a certain Great Power in the universe. The entrance to this Immortal Mansion descends every so often.

Those who enter can find all sorts of opportunities inside.

That’s why it’s commonly known as the Celestial Star Descent," the Tofu Boss explained.

"But what’s the universe?" Lu Zhen asked.

"Outer space."

"What kind of place is outer space?"

The Tofu Boss looked at Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen instinctively lowered his head. He really just didn’t understand.

Just then, Duan Qiao teleported onto Jiang Zuo’s shoulder with Sweet Potato and said, "I’ve seen the Celestial Star Descent before, but didn’t it come to the wrong place this time?

The Celestial Star Descent usually appears over the deep sea."

The Tofu Boss nodded. "I encountered it once a few hundred years ago, and it was indeed over the deep sea."

"Is that so?" Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but say.

He had encountered the Celestial Star Descent before, too. Back then, he was in a fierce battle with several Sects and had been gravely injured.

Coincidentally, the Celestial Star Descent had appeared right out of the sky and landed directly in front of him.

The gate even seemed to have been broken in the fall, so there was no need to wait for a cooldown to open it; he could go right in.

Many people went in, each hoping to obtain a fortuitous opportunity. Unfortunately for them, Jiang Zuo ended up seizing the Celestial Star Immortal Mansion for himself.

Since then, there had been no more Celestial Star Descents.

’So, is this happening because of me, or because of Su Qi?’

He didn’t even have to think about it. This Celestial Star Descent was aimed straight at the Saintess Pool where Su Qi and the others were.

"Isn’t this a bit of an overreaction?" Jiang Zuo muttered.

It was one thing for a Misfortune Coin to make a Celestial Tribulation show it some deference, but for it to also make the Celestial Star Descent defer to it (especially from so far away) was something else entirely.

’Is this good luck or bad luck?’

Jiang Zuo felt things were escalating further and further. This was a clear sign that his own demise would be all the more miserable in the future.

’I have to keep this a secret. At the very least, Su Qi needs to experience more of the "benefits" of the Misfortune Coin before she finds out.’

Otherwise, Su Qi might just say, "You’ve summoned meteors and Celestial Tribulations. You don’t want your wife anymore, is that it?"
