The Star Emperor of the City

Gu Xingchen was once the young sect master of the hidden Star Sect. When the sect was attacked and destroyed, his bloodline and spiritual roots were ruined. With no choice, he concealed his inherited legacy, fell into the city, and disguised himself as an ordinary person.

At the brink of death, he unexpectedly awakened the [Star Inheritance], a golden finger left behind by the Star Emperor, and recovered the memories of the ancient emperor. He could turn stone into gold, refine pills and artifacts, lay down wondrous formations, and forge his body from the stars within him, lighting the star points throughout his body as his power surged with each step.

Beneath the glittering city lurked ancient martial clans, superpowered individuals, remnants of sects, and international cultivation forces. Behind the powerful and wealthy, cultivators were pulling strings in secret.

His old enemies were still watching from the shadows, and one force after another began to emerge. Gu Xingchen kept a low profile, playing the pig to eat the tiger among ordinary folk while steadily growing stronger.

Business rivalries, feuds between powerful families, secret-realm treasures, and deadly traps of fate. He strode across the river of stars, gradually uncovering the truth behind his sect's destruction and stirring up turmoil in both the city and the cultivation world. He would return to the summit and command the tides of fate!
