As they walked, the Lonestar Knight and the other two continued to exchange information currents through their martial will.
The Starbeast Hunter said, "Eldest Martial Brother, are we going to bring him to meet Master just like that? Are we really going to give him the Universal Astral Realm Book? "
The Stardust Fairy said, "What else can we do? This Fang Xingjian is ten times or even 100 times more terrifying than the rumors say. Who among us can win against him? " She recalled the scene of Fang Xingjian moving the mountain earlier and still felt an instinctive fear.
"But..." The Starbeast Hunter was still unwilling to accept this. "This is too cowardly. If I were to hand the Universal Astral Realm Book to him today, I won't have the face to leave the mountain in the future."
The Lonestar Knight sighed and said, "Alright, he might not be able to get it either." Thinking of the current situation on the mountain, an unfathomable gleam flashed in the Lonestar Knight's eyes. "If he can get it even under such circumstances, then we'll just let him have it."
After that, they did not say anything. The three of them walked to the side of a cliff and saw an old man sitting cross-legged on the cliff. Less than half a metre in front of him was a 10,000-zhang-tall cliff. Waves of thick fog churned about, as if it contained an endless amount of mysteries.
The old man had a head full of white hair, turbid eyes, loose skin, and a few spots of age spots on his face. He looked just like an ordinary old man in his sixties. However, his eyes were fixed on the endless clouds as if they contained all the secrets in the world.
Looking at the old man's state, Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed, and a hint of doubt flashed in his gaze.
'This is... the Astral Ancestor? '
However, even the arrival of Fang Xingjian and the others did not seem to attract the old man's attention at all. His eyelids did not even change in the slightest as he continued to watch the changes in the sea of clouds.
"That's right, it's Master," the Lonestar Knight said with a bitter smile. "It's true that the increase in the ether particles' density increases the speed of people's cultivation. However, it contains too much personal information and increases the possibility of people going astray in their cultivation. "When Master was striving for the third tier of the Divine level, he wasn't able to resist the invasion of personal information. His memories were in a mess, and he only knows how to cultivate instinctively."
Lan Yue was slightly stunned. In the next moment, she looked at the old man who was sitting cross-legged in shock. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
With the world's metamorphosis, the density of ether particles had increased tremendously. Many Conferred Knights had improved by leaps and bounds, but at the same time, there were even more people who went berserk, becoming lunatics or comatose.
It was not that she had never encountered such cases when she was at the Full Moon Shrine. However, this was the first time she had seen a Divine level expert go berserk to such an extent.
At the thought of how Fang Xingjian was attempting to strive for tier three of the Divine level, Lan Yue suddenly understood.
The Astral Ancestor and the Blue Sacred Moonlight were characters from the same generation and had risen up from their respective sects at about the same time. They dominated the Xingwu Region and had also fought against each other many times, experiencing many open and covert fights. However, most of the time, they were evenly matched. If it was not because of the two of them fighting against each other, it would not have been impossible for the Xingwu Region to have become independent from the Empire over ten years ago.
After so many battles, the two of them knew that their talents, wisdom, strength, and luck were basically equal. It was basically very difficult to eliminate the other party.
Therefore, after both of them attained the Divine level, they basically did not fight against each other anymore. They did not even meet each other.
The Blue Sacred Moonlight attained tier two of the Divine level after the world's metamorphosis. Therefore, Lan Yue had always speculated that the Astral Ancestor should also be at tier two of the Divine level.
However, the Astral Ancestor was clearly a little eager for quick success and tried to strive for tier three of the Divine level within a short period of time, exceeding the limits of his abilities. This was why he went berserk, his memories became chaotic, and he ended up in his current state.
The path of cultivation was filled with too many hardships. Even if there were no external enemies, there would still be all sorts of difficulties.
Thinking of this, Lan Yue shook her head, sighed, and said, "Then he'll just keep sitting here?"
"Yes." The Lonestar Knight smiled bitterly and said, "Ever since Master's memories went berserk, he's been sitting here every day, watching the changes in the sea of clouds. "It's fine for us to get close to him, but once we want to talk to him or even get within one meter of him, we'll be sent flying or even attacked by Master."
Fang Xingjian looked curiously at the Divine level expert who had gone berserk. This was the first time he had seen a Divine level expert who had gone berserk and had his memories gone berserk.
Under normal circumstances, when a Divine level expert's will had condensed into a material state, it would be impossible for the external world's personal information to get the upper hand, or for their memories to go berserk.
The other party's situation was definitely related to him striving for tier three of the Divine level.
Fang Xingjian was very curious and interested in such a situation.
The Lonestar Knight said, "If you want the Universal Astral Realm Book, we won't be able to give it to you even if we want to. It's because the Universal Astral Realm Book has always been kept by the sect leaders of each generation, and it's with Master. "Therefore, if you wish to obtain the Universal Astral Realm Book, you'll have to get it from Master yourself."
Fang Xingjian looked at the Lonestar Knight's gaze as if he could see through the latter's thoughts.
He knew that the Lonestar Knight was already very afraid of his strength, but he was still unwilling to hand over the contents of the Universal Astral Realm Book. Moreover, the original copy of the Universal Astral Realm Book was with the Astral Ancestor.
Right now, the Lonestar Knight was probably still unwilling to accept this and wanted to see if the current Astral Ancestor could suppress Fang Xingjian.
After all, the Astral Ancestor had strived for tier three of the Divine level previously, and his cultivation was no small matter.
'During this period of time, we've tried all sorts of methods, but we can't even get close to Master, 'the Lonestar Knight thought. 'Master's current strength might already be extremely close to tier three of the Divine level. He might even have attained tier three of the Divine level, but his memories are in a mess. 'Although Fang Xingjian is very powerful, Master might still be able to suppress him. '
At the thought of this, the Lonestar Knight looked at Fang Xingjian with a gaze filled with anticipation. The Stardust Fairy, Starbeast Hunter, and the others all had a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
They did not display their thoughts and objectives, and there was no need for them to conceal them either. Therefore, Fang Xingjian could see through them clearly.
Smiling, Fang Xingjian walked toward the Astral Ancestor, who was seated cross-legged. At the sight of this scene, Lan Yue's countenance also turned grim. No one would underestimate an expert who could strive for tier three of the Divine level, no matter what kind of situation he was in.
"Then let me talk to him."
As Fang Xingjian slowly walked toward the Astral Ancestor, the latter did not show any reaction at the start. However, just as Fang Xingjian took a step into a one-meter radius from the Astral Ancestor...
The Astral Ancestor's body suddenly shot out a myriad of starlight. He turned his head, and there seemed to be endless streams of stars flowing in his eyes. He slapped out a palm, bringing along waves of power that could distort space as he grabbed out toward Fang Xingjian's head.
