This is an ancient building located at the highest point in the center of Tiancheng, and its history is said to date back a thousand years.
Tian Shu Pavilion was originally built by the rulers of Zhongzhou to worship heaven and earth and pray for peace and prosperity for the country.
Legend has it that when it was built, the rulers demanded that it be built with huge bluestones as the foundation, cedar wood as the beams, and glazed tiles as the roof tiles, with every detail showcasing the majesty and luxury of the royal family.
Throughout the long years, Tian Shu Pavilion has endured countless battles and changes of leadership, yet it has always stood firm.
Later, with the changing times, Tian Shu Pavilion gradually became a venue for important meetings and ceremonies in Zhongzhou.
This gathering of the Star Lords is also the first time that all twelve Star Lords have come together.
When Li Yu and Lu Fan approached the Tian Shu Pavilion, they were also shocked by the scene before them.
The pavilion is dozens of feet high, with flying eaves and brackets, and is magnificent.
It is surrounded by a ring of tall stone pillars, carved with auspicious creatures such as dragons, phoenixes, and qilin, all lifelike.
Upon reaching the high threshold, Li Yu dismounted, gently patted Xiao Hei's neck, and continued walking in.
As if it had finally completed its mission, Xiao Hei lazily lay down between the auspicious stone pillars depicting dragons, phoenixes, and qilin. Its eyes darted around, curiously observing the legendary beasts around it. There was no fear in its eyes, but rather a hint of playfulness, as if it were contemplating something in a human-like way.
"Please." Wu Pojun smiled and gestured for everyone to enter the hall.
Upon entering the Tian Shu Pavilion, an ancient and rustic atmosphere immediately greets you, and the furnishings inside clearly show signs of age.
When Li Yu and Lu Fan looked up, they saw a huge green Central Plains flag hanging on the wall in the middle of the hall.
The hall is spacious and bright, with a smooth marble floor and exquisite murals on both sides, focusing on the history of Zhongzhou.
Beneath the banner of Zhongzhou, there was a rectangular table with twelve chairs on either side.
By this time, several star deities had already arrived.
When Wu Pojun and Monk Jingshi led Li Yu and Lu Fan into the hall, everyone's eyes turned to them.
The moment Li Yu and Lu Fan walked in, Jiang Yue, the Fourth Star Lord, immediately glanced down at the rabbit-shaped watch on his wrist, his eyes widening slightly as he murmured in slight surprise:
"It's so accurate! Everything is exactly as the Ninth Star Lord said, even the time when Li Yu arrived at the gathering is exactly the same."
When she previously invited the Ninth Star Lord to the gathering, she casually mentioned on the phone, "I wonder when Li Yu will arrive."
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Star Lord gave an answer accurate to the second.
Jiang Yue has always been sensitive to time and speed. At first, she was full of doubts and did not believe that the Ninth Star Lord could have such accurate precognitive abilities. She did not expect to be proven wrong.
As soon as Li Yu entered the main hall of Tian Shu Pavilion, he saw several familiar faces.
The Sixth Star Lord, Bai Ruyu, who had been sitting there with a cold expression, surprisingly stood up upon seeing Li Yu arrive, smiling as he stepped forward to greet her.
"Li Yu..."
Li Yu also saw Bai Ruyu stand up.
Before Bai Ruyu could say anything more, Jiang Yue had already rushed to Li Yu's side.
She first curiously and lively sized up Lu Fan beside Li Yu, her eyes sparkling, before turning to Li Yu and excitedly saying:
"Li Yu, well done! I knew you could bring them here."
As he spoke, Jiang Yue immediately shoved a phone into Lu Fan's hand and winked at him as a signal.
Her expression seemed to suggest that she had already delivered the phone and wanted Lu Fan to cooperate with her.
After all, she had skipped a trip to deliver the phone to the Twelfth Star Lord because she was being lazy.
Lu Fan, being quick-witted, immediately guessed that she was the one who had spoken to Li Yu, so he took the phone and nodded in agreement, indicating that he would cooperate.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Jiang Yue secretly gave Lu Fan a thumbs up, and the next second he was back in his seat.
At the same time, Wu Pojun walked to the table and respectfully said, "Master Jingshi, please."
"Please, benefactor." Monk Jingshi clasped his hands together and bowed slightly in response.
After politely declining each other's offer, the two went to their respective seats and sat down.
Li Yu also came to the long table and glanced at Lei Xiao, who was sitting closest to the flag of Zhongzhou. Lei Xiao looked over as well.
The two nodded slightly. Although they had met once before, they never expected to meet again in this setting and with these different identities. Fate's arrangements were truly unpredictable.
Li Yu looked around. There were six seats on each side of the long table. Lei Xiao was sitting in the first seat, while Wu Pojun was sitting in the third seat. These seats were clearly arranged in the order of the Twelve Star Lords.
Seeing that the Eleventh Star Lord, the Pure World Monk, had already taken his seat, Li Yu and Lu Fan tacitly sat on either side of the Pure World Monk, each in their corresponding positions.
Just as they sat down, a person quietly emerged from behind a stone pillar to the side. He first bowed to the crowd, then walked straight to Lei Xiao's side and sat down without saying a word.
Judging from his seat, it's not hard to guess that this person is the Second Star Lord.
Li Yu looked over curiously and saw that the Second Star Lord was wearing a wide, moon-white Taoist robe, which fluttered gracefully and unrestrainedly.
He wore a shawl on his head, his long hair was tied inside the shawl, and a few strands of silver hair hung down from his temples, yet he had a carefree and leisurely spirit.
Even though his body was completely covered, you could still see that his back was straight and there was no sign of hunching.
Looking closely at his appearance, the Second Star Lord had a resolute face with strong, defined features. Beneath his thick eyebrows, his eyes were as deep as an ancient well.
After the second star lord sat down, the third star lord, Wu Pojun, warmly greeted him:
"Master Chenxuan, it turns out you arrived long ago."
Chen Xuan cupped his hands and replied with a smile, "This place is in harmony with the Nine Palaces Flying Stars; I only observed it with my Heavenly Eye just now."
Just then, a bright light flashed outside the hall, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps.
Everyone looked towards the doorway, and when they saw the person who had entered, Li Yu and Lu Fan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Wang Tianzhao!"
Although we learned from previous reports that General Zhao Deyang's apprentice had become a Star Lord with the strong support of the military.
Unexpectedly, the Star Lord whose identity they had previously speculated about was actually Wang Tianzhao!
At the same time, Wang Tianzhao also saw Li Yu and Lu Fan.
The three, who had parted ways after entering Zhongzhou, unexpectedly reunited in this scene, a strange twist of fate that stirred a wave of emotion within them.
"Haha~" Wang Tianzhao burst into laughter first, striding towards Li Yu and Lu Fan:
"Li Yu, Lu Fan."
"I never expected to meet you here again!"
