Fortunately, the jue was only shaking . Nothing else happened .
Han Sen knew that, for as long as there was no alcohol inside it, there shouldn't be any more incidents . For all he knew, it could have been having alcoholic withdrawals .
But as he continued to walk, the shaking of the jue became more vigorous . When Empty Witch brought Han Sen over to the west side of the shelter, it started to vibrate like mad .
"There it is! When it is dark, you can see it shining bright like a comet," Empty Witch said, as she pointed towards the object .
Han Sen looked in that direction and saw a very smooth black rock . If Empty Witch had not mentioned it to Han Sen, he never would have guessed it was once a treasure .
"That must be the Luminous Stone . If I pour wine into the jue, I bet you I can summon her," Han Sen thought to himself .

Han Sen did not know if there was any particular use to summoning demi-gods . He had asked Moment Queen about it, and she had no clue . All she could tell him was that various treasures, belonging to demi-gods, were known to have been left over in the Third God's Sanctuary, and that was it .
"If I want to know the answer to this, it looks like I'll have to accept Dragon King's proposal," Han Sen thought to himself .
If it was an ordinary king spirit, Han Sen would have gladly given him the egg already . But he was one of the eight generals, and he had a connection to Asura . Han Sen wasn't entirely sure if he should be trusted .
And Yaksha, all this time, had not said a word to Han Sen about what happened with Ancient Devil Emperor, either . Even under the threat of death, he remained silent . This made Han Sen even more curious over the events that had transpired .
Han Sen thought that if he could figure out what had occurred, he'd understand a lot more .
Asura might have been related to the shura, and the shura were related to the Luo family . Zero could practice the Asura Sutra and the Falsified-Sky Sutra, and on her back, she possessed a Nine-Life Cat tattoo . Furthermore, there was a connection between Blood Legion and Han Jinzhi .
Han Sen felt all this was connected somehow, and it was all just one big jigsaw puzzle . There was only one problem: he didn't know what the whole picture looked like . And he wasn't even sure if he had all the pieces of the puzzle .

Han Sen needed more information, he felt . He had ownership over two key figures in this plot, but they refused to loosen their tongues about it . All he knew was that Asura betrayed Ancient Devil Emperor somehow .
The only other lead Han Sen had was in Baby Ghost . He once told Han Sen he was the vice-leader of Blood Legion, despite being a spirit . Han Sen wished he could crack open Baby Ghost's brain to get a peek at what hidden knowledge he possessed and refused to reveal .
As it got dark now, though, Han Sen heard footsteps approaching . There was a spirit coming . He looked colder than the black of space, and many star-like orbs surrounded his presence . He did not look like the friendly sort .
When he saw who this spirit was, he knew why, too .
He was Moving Star Emperor, and he had ranked tenth place in Divinity's Bout . He was also Han Sen's biggest enemy in the northwestern regions that he was practically ruling . He was Han Sen's roadblock for expansion, and after two years of skirmishes and fighting, neither side had yet to prevail over the other .
The spirits all whispered how powerful he was .

But Moving Star Emperor was not one sole spirit . He had a host of powerful subordinates, hanging on his beck and call . It was through their support that Han Sen was unable to defeat him .
Moving Star Emperor would have liked nothing more than to kill Han Sen then and there . Many of his subordinates had died during the battles he and Han Sen had waged, and it brought him great pain and anguish .
He thought Han Sen was a cheater, too, since he frequently used Holy Rhino and Little Silver for healing during their fights . Han Sen's tactics were infuriating .
"How could a pathetic human have been invited here?" Moving Star Emperor said, with a cold half-rhetorical question of insult and disdain .
Moving Star Emperor didn't start a fight, though . It just went to show how much influence Lotus Empress had over those who were attending .
"She can invite whoever she wishes to," Empty Witch answered .
Han Sen was quite shocked, following this . Moving Star Emperor did nothing to Empty Witch . Empty Witch had only opened nine gene locks, but she could talk down to whoever visited there because she knew Lotus Empress had her back .
Moving Star Emperor looked over to the Luminous Stone, though . And due to the night starting to settle in, it was beginning to glow . The darker it became, the brighter the light was . The light it emitted was warm, and it was beautiful in the way it scattered across all the lotuses around it .
Han Sen felt as if there was a rhythm to the way that light pulsated, but he couldn't hear anything to suggest there might have been music playing .
"Perhaps silence is the greatest music . " Han Sen could feel it, but he could not hear it . He wasn't quite sure what he was witnessing, truth be told . But it was more than just a simple glowing rock .
"This dirty, down-trodden, filthy race can understand?" Moving Star Emperor said, with a clear effort to provoke Han Sen .
He didn't dare to attack physically, but sticks and stones and all that . . .
Han Sen did not participate in their battles, and he allowed Purple Emperor to lead . Therefore, Moving Star Emperor only had second-hand tales to estimate just how powerful Han Sen might have been . He was eager to learn the truth first-hand . If he could instigate a conflict right then and there, he thought it would be brilliant .
