Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 320 The Secret

Gao Xingchen looked at the grateful faces in front of him, and his heart was not shaken by their refusal. He knew very well how precious this secret book was, and he understood even more the importance of unity for the future development of the family.

"Everyone, I have made up my mind." Gao Xingchen said firmly, "The skills in this secret book are extremely profound, and I cannot comprehend them alone. Only by gathering the wisdom of everyone can we bring its power to its extreme. We are shouldering the responsibility of revitalizing the family, how can we be bound by such external things?"

When everyone heard this, they were once again filled with shock. They had never seen such a broad-minded leader who did not care about personal gains and losses. In Gao Xingchen, they saw hope and the dawn of the family's rise.

"Young master is so righteous! We are willing to sacrifice our lives for our family and will not hesitate to die!" Elder Zhao burst into tears and was the first to kneel on the ground. Other family members followed suit and shouted in unison.

Gao Xingchen helped everyone up one by one, looking into the distance with a sharp gaze, "Everyone, please stand up. We will start practicing immediately and create new glory for the family!"

After that, he made the contents of the secret book public and personally guided everyone in their practice. This secret book was called "Star Secrets" and was created by an ancient great man. It contained the power of the stars. If one practiced it to the extreme, one could use the power of the stars for his own benefit, which was extremely powerful.

Under Gao Xingchen's careful guidance, the family members made rapid progress, and in just a few months, they had mastered the essence of "Star Art". Their true qi was faintly permeated with traces of starlight, and their aura became more vigorous and long-lasting.

In order to test the results of his practice, Gao Xingchen decided to lead his family members to a secret place called "Starfall Valley" for training. It is rumored that a star had fallen in the Starfall Valley, which contains powerful star power and is an excellent place to practice "Star Art".

Deep in the Falling Star Valley, a huge monster was entrenched at the bottom of the valley, emitting a suffocating pressure. It was covered with hard scales, shining with a metallic luster, and its pair of blood-red eyes emitted a ferocious light. It was the overlord guarding the Falling Star Valley - the Star Giant Lizard!

"Everyone, form a star battle formation!" Gao Xingchen gave an order, and the family members quickly changed their formation. Their true Qi connected with each other, forming a huge star pattern that surrounded the star lizard.

Gao Xingchen stood at the center of the formation, forming seals with his hands and muttering something. Above his head, phantoms of stars appeared, emitting dazzling light, and the majestic power of the stars poured into his body like a tide.

"Stars fall!" Gao Xingchen roared, and pushed out his palms suddenly. A bright streak of starlight cut through the sky and slammed heavily on the body of the Star Lizard.

"Roar!" The Star Lizard let out an earth-shaking roar. Its huge body was blown back repeatedly, and cracks appeared on its hard scales.

However, the Star Lizard is the overlord guarding the Falling Star Valley after all, and is extremely powerful. After a brief surprise, it pounced on Gao Xingchen and others frantically again.

"Everyone, don't panic, keep your formation steady!" Gao Xingchen calmly commanded everyone. Under his leadership, the family members started a fierce battle with the Star Giant Lizard...

After the fierce battle, the Star Lizard fell to the ground, and Gao Xingchen and the others were all injured and exhausted. But there was no frustration on their faces, but excitement and joy. Because they defeated a powerful enemy, and more importantly, they felt unprecedented power in the battle, which was the power of unity and the power of hope!

However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, a more powerful energy wave was quietly spreading in the depths of the Falling Star Valley...

The huge corpse of the Star Giant Lizard fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust and stirring up even greater waves in the hearts of the people. They actually defeated the overlord who guarded the Falling Star Valley! For a moment, the joy of victory and the relief of surviving the disaster were intertwined, and everyone's face was filled with indescribable excitement.

However, before they could recover from this great joy, a strange energy suddenly emerged from the place where the giant lizard fell in the depths of the Falling Star Valley. This energy was vast and majestic, carrying the breath of ancient times, but also warm and gentle, like the spring sunshine that fell on everyone.

"What is this?" Xuan Feng couldn't help but exclaim. He could feel this energy slowly seeping into his body, merging into his meridians, and blending with his own true qi, creating a wonderful resonance.

Not only him, but other family members also felt this strange energy. They were surprised to find that the true energy that was exhausted in the battle with the Star Giant Lizard was quickly restored under the nourishment of this energy, and even became more pure and rich than before.

Gao Xingchen stood in front of everyone, bearing the brunt of this energy baptism. He felt a powerful force surging in his body, as if it was going to break through some kind of shackles and make him reborn. He knew that this was not an illusion, but an unprecedented opportunity!

"This is... hope!" Gao Xingchen murmured to himself, with a determined light in his eyes. He felt that there was some kind of mysterious connection between this energy and "Star Art". Perhaps, this was the real secret of "Star Art"!

This strange energy lasted for a whole night. When the first rays of morning light shone into the Falling Star Valley, the originally violent energy gradually subsided and finally disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

The family members who were bathed in this energy had undergone earth-shaking changes. Each of them had a stronger aura, a more determined look, and every move they made revealed a sense of confidence and composure.

"Young Master, I feel like my strength has increased several times!" Xuan Feng said excitedly, and other family members also nodded in agreement, their faces filled with excitement and joy.

Gao Xingchen looked at the hopeful faces in front of him, and his heart was filled with relief. He knew that this trip to the Falling Star Valley not only improved their strength, but more importantly, it gave them hope for the family's rise!

"Let's go!" Gao Xingchen waved his hand and led the family members out of the Falling Star Valley. With a lot of harvest, they set out on the journey back to the family, and what awaited them was a brand new future...

After leaving the Falling Star Valley, Gao Xingchen and his party rushed back to the family without stopping. The news spread like wildfire, and the Gao family had already known about their feat in the Falling Star Valley, and were now eagerly awaiting their return.

When Gao Xingchen and his companions appeared in front of the family gate, deafening cheers resounded through the sky. The family members spontaneously lined up in two rows, lining the avenue to welcome the triumphant heroes, their eyes full of admiration and worship.

Gao Zhantian, the head of the Gao family, was a middle-aged man with a dignified face and awe-inspiring presence. He was standing at the front of the crowd, his face showing his excitement. Seeing Gao Xingchen and the others return safely, he finally let go of his worries.

"Good! Good! Good!" Gao Zhantian said "good" three times in a row, his deep voice full of satisfaction and pride. He patted Gao Xingchen on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Xingchen, you did a great job! You didn't disappoint the family's expectations!"

Gao Xingchen smiled modestly and said, "Father, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

After the simple welcome ceremony, Gao Xingchen and others were escorted to the family meeting hall. Gao Zhantian and several other family elders had been waiting for a long time.

Gao Xingchen recounted their experiences in the Falling Star Valley in detail, including the encounter with the giant star lizard, the acquisition of strange energy, and the rapid improvement of the family's children's strength. When he talked about the magical effect of the strange energy, the elders present were all moved.

"Xingchen, are you telling the truth? Can that energy really increase your strength by several times?" Elder Zhao asked in disbelief.

"Absolutely true!" Gao Xingchen nodded affirmatively, "Not only that, I also feel that there is some kind of mysterious connection between that energy and the Star Art. I believe that as long as we can unlock the secret, the power of the Star Art will be further enhanced!"

Elder Zhao pondered for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and said: "If it is true as you said, then this is a major event related to the prosperity and decline of the family! Xingchen, you did a good job! You did a good job on this matter!"

Gao Zhantian also looked at Gao Xingchen with satisfaction and said, "Xingchen, you did a great job! You have made great contributions to the family! On behalf of the entire Gao family, I thank you!"

Gao Xingchen quickly said: "Father, this is what I should do."

"Xingchen, what are your plans next?" Gao Zhantian asked.

Gao Xingchen pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I plan to lead everyone to continue to practice hard and strive to achieve good results in the upcoming family trial finals!"

"Okay!" Gao Zhantian nodded in appreciation, "I believe you can lead the family to glory!"

Elder Zhao suddenly said, "Master, I have decided to report the results of this trial to the family's top management to obtain more resources and support. Our Gao family has been silent for too long, it's time to revive our glory!"

Gao Zhantian took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination, and said, "Okay! I'll do as you say! I want to see who dares to look down on our Gao family!"

The atmosphere in the Gao family meeting hall was very exciting. Everyone was full of hope for the family's future. They believed that under the leadership of Gao Xingchen, the Gao family would surely regain its former glory!

However, they didn't know that a bigger storm was quietly approaching...

The meeting hall was filled with an atmosphere of hope and excitement, but Elder Zhao's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down, calming everyone down.

"Master, the adventure in the Falling Star Valley is certainly gratifying, but we can't take it lightly." Elder Zhao looked solemn, "Other families must have sent their elite children, especially those forces that have always been at odds with my Gao family. They will not sit idly by and watch us rise."

Gao Zhantian nodded in agreement: "Elder Zhao's words make sense, Xingchen, do you have any ideas?"

Gao Xingchen looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Elder Zhao is right. We can't be complacent because of a temporary victory. If we want to achieve good results in the family trial finals, we need to work harder."

"Brother Xingchen, don't worry, we will work harder and never let you down!" The speaker was Xuanfeng, a young master of the Gao family. He was of similar age to Gao Xingchen and had the closest relationship with him. He had also achieved considerable breakthroughs in the trials of the Fallen Star Valley.

"Okay! I believe in you!" Gao Xingchen patted Xuanfeng's shoulder encouragingly, and glanced at everyone, "Starting tomorrow, I will increase the intensity of training and teach you the cultivation experience I gained in the Falling Star Valley. We must let those who look down on us see the true strength of my Gao family!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, the sound was deafening and echoed throughout the entire conference hall.

Elder Zhao looked at this scene with satisfaction, turned around and said to Gao Zhantian: "Master, I will report the matter of Xingyue Valley to the family leaders right away. I believe they will give us the greatest support."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Elder Zhao." Gao Zhantian nodded.

After Elder Zhao left, Gao Zhantian looked at Gao Xingchen, his eyes full of expectation: "Xingchen, the future of the family depends on young people like you. I believe that you will be able to lead the Gao family back to the top!"

"Father, I won't let you down." Gao Xingchen said firmly.

As night falls, the Gao family members are immersed in training, making final preparations for the upcoming family trial finals. They are all eager to make a splash in the finals, to bring honor to the family and to establish their own reputation. All of this will depend on their subsequent efforts and their final performance in the finals...
