It was the 17th of December, 2021 in Earth calendar.
Under Wang Hou's incessant urging, Jiang He had to agree to head to the celestial battlefield with him. Before they left, he put Dumbo, Trumbo, and the others into his farm.
"I've asked around, and the celestial battlefield is a little special. Legend has it that it was a massive Secret Realm formed in the early days of the universe. Danger lurks in every corner, but it is filled with providence."
"The dimensions and planetary quadrants around the celestial battlefield are occupied by the various races of the universe."
"We humans have conquered a planetary quadrant here as well, establishing a great faction … by the way, the people of other worlds like to call us the Three Realms Faction."
Wang Hou was not entirely immersed in cultivation over the last few days.
He had asked around about the celestial battlefield and gained a general understanding of certain information. "We could use the warp portal of the Galactic Empire to reach the dimensions beyond the celestial battlefield," he said, "and we just have to cross a planetary system to reach Primeval."
"By the way, Primeval is the name of the continent occupied by the Three Realms' elites. It is said that the continent is boundless, spanning untold light years, and its scale is comparable to a planetary system."
"A continent the size of a planetary system?"
Jiang He clicked his tongue in wonder.
The two of them quickly arrived at the side of the "ultra-long-distance teleportation array". There were already several people waiting there.
Wang Hou paid the fee, and the portal was soon activated.
… …
Tianlan System.
Tianlan System was famous across the universe. It was close to the dimensional battlefield, and many cultivators had to use it as a transit point to enter the battlefield.
The entire system was occupied by dozens of races and factions.
Ooom!
The dimensions quaked.
The air above a withered planet near Tianlan System rippled, and two figures appeared abruptly, landing on the surface of the planet.
This was a dark brown planet. The surface of the planet was full of brown sand and rocks. Occasionally, the bones of animals and dead tree branches could be seen.
Jiang He swept out with his immortal will and found the ruins of a dilapidated city in the distance, with many dried corpses inside.
Wang Hou looked around and said somberly, "The Star Core of this planet has been taken away by an elite."
If the Star Core of a planet was taken away to be refined into a treasure, the planet would gradually dry up and die within a few hundred years.
It would be fine if there were experts on the planet, as they might be able to migrate some of the living creatures away. However, if there were no experts, these people could only perish along with the planet.
This kind of thing happened all the time in the vast universe.
There were even some Demonic Dao cultivators who specialized in searching for those barbaric native planets. They would hunt down the living beings on those planets to cultivate their Demonic Arts, or they would simply take the planet's nucleus and refine it into a treasure.
Wang Hou sighed with emotion.
He took out the star chart and looked at the sky.
Jiang He looked toward the horizon as well. The skies were filled with stars, some of which were so dazzling that the array around the planet could be seen even from a distance.
"These planets are usually guarded by the experts of the major races and forces. There are also teleportation arrays built on the planets. If ordinary cultivators want to enter the Star Wars Battlefield, they have to use these teleportation arrays."
Wang Hou put away the star map and pointed at an extremely dazzling star in the sky. "According to the star map, this star belongs to the Chan Sect. Usually, disciples of the Chan Sect cultivate on it, and there are experts of the Chan Sect guarding it. We can go to the celestial battlefield through this star."
"The Chan Sect?"
Jiang He's eyes lit up and he smiled. "Incidentally, I was about to discuss some business with the Chan Sect. What are we waiting for, Minister Wang?"
Both of them took to the air and cast a spatial shift technique, and soon arrived near the star.
From afar, it appeared to be a dazzling star, but it was only when they got closer that they realized how extraordinary it was.
It was a superior living planet with a diameter of almost a million kilometers. There were several moon-like moons around it, and upon closer inspection, those moons had been refined into mystic treasures and hung in outer space.
There must be elites on the planet who could control those moons. Should they encounter a powerful foe, the moons would descend from the skies with a single thought to slay the enemy.
Aside from the moons, there was another mystic treasure around the massive living planet.
This Dharma treasure was a scroll.
Endless arrays covered the entire planet with the scroll at its center. Many warships hovered in the air within the planet's atmosphere, each of which was a powerful mystic treasure as well.
"This scroll does look like a star map …" Wang Hou and Jiang He could not help commenting as they soon arrived outside the planet and studied the scroll.
The superior living planet was very prosperous as well.
There were over a dozen immortal sects on the planet, each ruling over a few empires and kingdoms.
The immortal sects and Holy Grounds that those empires and kingdoms viewed as overbearing were in fact minor sects under the Chan Sect's rule, and having a Golden Immortal in those sects was already impressive enough.
This planet was called "Swift Star."
There was a city called Sky's Wielder City on Swift Star.
For ninety-nine percent of the natives of Swift Star, it existed only in legends …
It was located at the extreme north of Swift Star, a place where few people visited. Even the kingdom at the northern edge of Swift Star was ninety thousand kilometers away from Sky's Wielder City.
Those ninety thousand kilometers were boundless oceans and glaciers. Due to the climate, countless powerful daemons were born in the oceans and glaciers, and only immortals could cross that distance.
It could be seen that though the Chan Sect controlled the planet, they did not control its development too much.
After landing on Swift Star, Wang Hou was no longer in a hurry. He found a random royal city and stayed in a rather high-class tavern for the time being.
Confused, Jiang He asked, "Weren't you in a hurry to go to the celestial battlefield, Minister Wang? Why are you planning to stay here for a long time? "
"I was worried that the Nether River Patriarch would hunt me down before, but now that we're in the Chan Sect's territory, the Patriarch of the Chan Sect is a Saint, and the Nether River Patriarch would not dare to make a move on a Saint's territory."
Jiang He was speechless.
The Nether River Patriarch would hunt me down?
I'm not worried, so why are you worried?
Moreover …
"Minister Wang, I was about to discuss a business deal with the Chan Sect …" Jiang He muttered.
I was having fun in the Galactic Empire before, but you kept urging me to run, and now I'm having a leisurely time.
Wang Hou drained his cup of wine and laughed. "Don't worry. I'm sure the people of the Clan of Enlightenment will come to us soon."
With that …
Immortal light streaked through the skies in the distance.
A Golden Immortal's Dao presence reached them, and a voice spoke, "Seniors … would you like to use the portal to head to the celestial battlefield? My master ordered me to tell you that if you want to use the teleportation formation, you can go to Skyconnect City at any time. If you want to stay on Swift Star … please abide by the rules of Swift Star. "
The Golden Immortal was neither servile nor overbearing, and showed no fear even though he knew that he was facing two Grand Luo.
There was no other reason.
There was someone behind him.
His master was a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, the True Habitant of Jade Cauldron, one of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. He was a fellow disciple of Yang Jian, the Celestial Court's God of War who shook the celestial battlefield, and even Demi-Saints would have to show some respect to his master, let alone ordinary Grand Luo.
Moreover, this was Swift Star.
It was the Chan Sect's only base in the Tianlan System, and the Chan Sect valued it greatly, so no one would dare to cause trouble here.
"The Chan Sect?"
Jiang He did a double take.
There was no need to identify them.
How could they speak so boldly if they were not disciples of the Chan Sect?
Of course, they had the capital to do so. Leaving aside the fact that the Primeval Lord of Heaven was an elite even among Saints, the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were all peak superior beings. Moreover, there were a whole bunch of Demi-Saints and Grand Luo in the Chan Sect, and the power of a single sect could match some races, not to mention the hegemonic-class races.
Before Wang Hou could say anything, Jiang He cut to the chase and asked, "Who is your master? Do you know Tu Xing Sun? "
The Golden Immortal did a double take and asked, "Senior, you know Martial Uncle Tu Xing Sun?"
Martial uncle?
Tu Xing Sun was the disciple of Ju Liu Sun, one of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. Since the passerby Golden Immortal's master was the disciple of the True Habitant of Jade Cauldron, it was not wrong for him to call Tu Xing Sun martial uncle. Still, did the True Habitant of Jade Cauldron only take Yang Jian as his disciple in the legends?
… …
At the same time.
Sura.
A streak of blood light shot out of the boundless Blood Sea, streaking through the dimensions and heading toward the celestial battlefield.
The streak of blood-red light was extremely fast, and it only took two days to reach Flame City. Its aura surged, and a huge "volcano" in the depths of Flame City began to move.
"Nether River …"
The volcano whispered and turned into a burly giant that stood over a hundred feet tall. Dark-Red magma flowed beneath its stony skin, and shock was written all over its ugly face.
"The Nether River has revived?"
"But … why would he come to Blaze City?"
At that thought, the burly giant did not dare to tarry, and quickly flew out of the city to meet the streak of blood light.
"I wonder if Elder Nether River is gracing us with your presence …"
Whoosh!
A streak of blood light instantly appeared in front of the burly giant. Unable to dodge in time, the giant was sent flying.
The Nether River Patriarch coldly said, "I don't have time to waste with you, Blaze Lord … tell me, where did that human Grand Luo go?"
