The journey to the other side of the starry space was extremely long and filled with unknowns. In the darkness, Ye Fan's body radiated boundless light, enveloping Flower and Child. Because there was no air here, they couldn't breathe and could only rely on divine energy.
This was a journey that caused one to feel uneasy. Even the divine knight and Longma, with their profound cultivation bases, felt their emotions fluctuating. Even for them, this was the first time they stepped into the starry space, let alone Zhang Qingyang and Long Yuxuan.
"Master, what is the Big Dipper Star Region like? Can we really meet the saints of the other races?"
"Why is the path to immortalization chosen to open there? Why are all the ancient emperors gathered on an ancient planet? What would we encounter if we go there?"
...
Zhang Qingyang and Long Yuxuan felt extremely nervous in their hearts. There were some questions that had been asked many times before. Now, they were being brought up again.
Over ten years had passed and they had already broken through to the first layer of immortal-foundation on Earth. One could imagine how much faster they would be if they were in the Big Dipper Star Region. Given their talent, they would definitely be able to dominate an entire region.
On this path, the flow of time was extremely chaotic. Sometimes, it was so long that it would drive people crazy. Sometimes, it would be inconceivably fast, as though thousands of years had passed in a flash.
If it wasn't for them communicating through their divine sense, this would be an incomparably silent journey. There was no sound at all, only the occasional flashes of light that were as resplendent as fireworks.
"Eh, we've arrived!"
After an unknown period of time, the astral light in front of them shone resplendently. They had arrived at the end of the path, causing the darkness and the void to be filled with more colors.
Intense tremors shook the space around them. The ancient path was mottled and all sorts of colors flickered. They had arrived at their first stop and fell out of the void.
Among these people, only Ye Fan was relatively experienced. Every pore on his body was overflowing with light and auspicious qi. He used the cauldron to envelop the few of them within, just in case.
"Bo!"
A light sound rang out as the ancient path behind them vanished. They appeared on a desolate star that was filled with a deathly aura. The air was thin and there were no signs of life.
"What is this place?" They stared up at the starry sky before surveying their surroundings.
There was no moon in the sky, but the Milky Way shone brightly, sprinkling down a large expanse of pure white light. This star seemed to be very close to all the other big stars, as if it could reach the other side by jumping over it.
They couldn't distinguish the positions of stars because the stars they saw on different planets would be different even if they were in the same galaxy.
They didn't know where they were. This was the most realistic portrayal of their current situation, all of them lacking confidence. This wasn't an ancient star with life, so they couldn't survive for a long time. They had to hurry and find a way out.
"There must be a small Five-Colored Divine Altar on this planet, and it shouldn't be too far away. Let's take a look," said Ye Fan.
This was not their destination, but a stop on their journey. There were no signs of life in such a desolate place. In front of them was a vast desert, and the yellow sand was dazzling under the starlight.
"The aura of the Source of God!" Ye Fan revealed a strange expression as he sensed an unusual aura.
They quickly flew forward, their bodies like streaks of lightning, entering the depths of the sea of sand. Soon after, they all revealed looks of shock, because they saw an enormous building.
"It's a pyramid!" Zhang Qingyang had an expression of disbelief. Could it be the god that the ancient people of Egypt worshipped? He vaguely felt that something wasn't quite right.
This building was snow-white, and it was dazzling under the starlight. When they got closer, all of them sucked in a breath of cold air. The scene was too terrifying.
This was a pyramid built from sparkling white bones. Even though it was polished smooth and carved with ancient laws, it was still full of the marks of time. It seemed to have been here for quite a long time.
Skulls, arm bones, and vertebrae were all present, forming this strange bone pagoda. It was majestic and tall, reaching over a hundred meters in height. It towered in the desert, and even with the passage of time, it wasn't submerged by the sand and dust.
Not only were there human skulls, there were also remains of other races. What Venerable Demon Xuan Chi said was right. There were all kinds of great battles that happened in the long river of time. There were unknown creatures that attacked Hangu Pass, and many corpses were left behind on this road.
"The creatures in the bone pagoda!" said the divine knight.
Ye Fan also nodded. The aura of the divine origin also came from the pagoda. The number of creatures in this desert wasn't small, and there were actually no less than a hundred of them.
Rustling sounds could be heard. Long lines as thick as water jars appeared in the desert around them. They bulged out from the ground and rushed over like giant snakes.
Longma lifted its hooves and stomped out. The first line that rushed over was stepped on by it, and a loud clanging sound could be heard. It was actually the sound of metal vibrating, and soon after, a shattering sound could be heard as a stream of liquid rushed out.
"What kind of creature is this?" They were all astonished.
The sand in the surroundings undulated, and over a hundred water jar thick protrusions appeared. At the same time, they shot out streaks of scarlet light, and over a hundred light blades slashed over.
The few of them flew up into the sky. Longma let out a long hiss, and the thin air trembled violently. It tore apart the heaven and earth, and overturned this desert, revealing the races within the yellow sand.
There were actually hundreds of ant-like creatures. Their bodies were huge, and every one of them was three meters long. Their entire bodies seemed to be carved out of red coral, and they had boundless strength. They could actually shatter the void, and all of them flew up into the sky to kill them.
"This is strange. What kind of creatures are these? They can survive in this kind of environment. What do they do for a living?"
"There's a divine origin here, and they used it to survive. They shouldn't be natives of this planet, and are creatures that were trapped here," said Ye Fan.
The divine knight made his move. He covered the sky with one hand and covered everything below. With a forceful swipe, every giant ant that was the size of a bull emitted the sound of metal breaking, and they died a violent death.
Not a single one of the hundreds of giant ants fell into the net, and they all fell down like dust.
"There's still one big one left." The Dragon Horse said. It stamped its hooves on the pyramid made of white bones. With a honglong sound, a blazing light erupted, and a colossal creature struggled free.
This ant was more than ten meters long, and its entire body was scarlet and sparkling. It released streaks of multicolored light, and with a light shake, the void shattered. Its strength could uproot mountains, and this was its race's innate divine ability.
"What race are you, and where did you come from? Why are you attacking us?" Ye Fan shouted.
This enormous creature was full of hatred. Its speed was extremely fast, and it turned into a streak of scarlet light as it instantly arrived in the heavens, confronting them coldly.
"Humans … deserve death!" It transmitted out a spiritual fluctuation, and then it attacked.
"These should be some small shrimps left behind from one of the races that attacked Hangu Pass countless years ago. There's nothing much to say. Kill them all," said Ye Fan.
It was still the divine knight who made his move. This time, he held the dragon spear in his hand, and with a single step, he covered more than ten li. He raised the spear and pierced out. The spear was without any brilliance, but it possessed a type of natural dao power, and the might of heaven and earth converged.
Dang!
This divine ant's cultivation was profound, and its flesh in particular was tyrannical beyond everyone's imagination. It stopped the dragon spear's attack, and then a large pincer fiercely hacked over. Scarlet multicolored light filled the sky.
A series of keng qiang sounds rang out in the sky. It collided with the divine knight eight times, and when the dragon spear's ninth attack descended, it still raised its pincer to face it head-on. However, this time, it was completely useless. The dragon spear's divine radiance erupted, turning into a streak of exceptional lightning. With a pu sound, it pierced through this divine insect, and its entire body burst apart!
Ye Fan took action, fishing out its primordial spirit with a single motion. After observing its sea of consciousness, he said, "It really is like this. It is a descendant of the ancient saints that attacked Hangu Pass and was trapped here, relying on the divine source left behind by their ancestors to survive."
"Pu!"
With a thought from Ye Fan, the primordial spirit turned into ashes. Then, with a shake of his hand, the desert rumbled with noise. A few divine source fragments floated up, and there weren't many left, all of them used up by this ant race.
In the end, they made a left turn and entered a hidden formation. They found the Rainbow Altar, and once again set off on their journey.
In the following half a month, they carried out a total of seven or eight transits, and all of them descended on desolate planets. However, there would always be a fierce battle wherever they went.
In the distant past, it was unknown what had happened, but there were many powerful races that attacked Hangu Pass. After they died in battle, their descendants were trapped outside Hangu Pass, which was also this long star passage.
"The attack on Hangu Pass happened at least tens of thousands of years ago. Their ancestors all had a type of urgency and anxiety." Every time Ye Fan defeated an enemy, he would probe their divine senses and find some clues. He also found out that these races came from an extremely distant star domain in the depths of the cosmos.
He was surprised to find that they didn't come for the Immortal Cauldron. They weren't the ancient saints who came to Earth, but a group of people even earlier. They had another purpose, and it could be traced back to a very long time ago.
In ancient times, the saints who came for the Immortal Cauldron mainly came from the three ancient stars of Huosang, Tongtian, and Gouchen. They were different from those who attacked Hangu Pass, so their numbers were much smaller and they arrived much later.
"Earth is really mysterious." Ye Fan looked back at the starry sky, but he couldn't find the solar system.
A month later, they had already entered the depths of the universe, but they still didn't know where they were. Everywhere they went, there would be a great battle. Just as Venerable Demon Xuan Chi had said, this ancient starry sky path was very dangerous and full of demons and ghosts.
Every Five-Colored Altar was hidden in a formation and could only be found with the secret method that Xuan Chi had told them. They spent most of their time on this.
Ye Fan, Longma, the divine knight, Huahua, Zhang Qingyang, and Long Yuxuan had met with accidents along the way. There were a few times when they were almost killed. The enemies had forbidden weapons left behind by the saints from tens of thousands of years ago, and almost destroyed half of the ancient stars!
"You carry the burden, I lead the horse. Welcome the sunrise, send away the sunset. Overcome the obstacles, achieve the Great Dao … "
Ye Fan heard Zhang Qingyang's humming and couldn't help but laugh. The group left Hangu Pass from the west. Along the way, it really felt like a journey to the west. They subdued demons and killed all kinds of powerful foreign races.
The child Huahua was shrouded in divine power and was lucky enough to sit on Longma with Ye Fan. The divine knight held a dragon spear and opened the way, while Long Yuxuan blocked the way.
"Everything is for achieving the Great Dao. We cross the universe."
When they landed on the 19th ancient star, Ye Fan received an important piece of information. After defeating a group of experts, he discovered the name of the ancient star with life in the depths of the universe — Fairy.
"Countless years ago, the saints were extremely anxious. Why did they attack Earth from an ancient star called Fairy?" Ye Fan muttered to himself.
These people attacked Hangu Pass a very long time ago, and they didn't come for the Celestial Cauldron. They came long before the people of Huosang, Tongtian, and Gouchen. The name Fairy was very mysterious and made people's imagination run wild.
"There's actually such an ancient star with life in the depths of the universe!"
After a few more days, the group landed on the 23rd planet. Ye Fan was shocked. He looked up at the sky and stared at the seven bright stars. He couldn't stay calm.
From different star fields, the arrangement of the seven stars would be different, but the aura would not change. Ye Fan was sure that it was the Big Dipper Star Field.
"We're here. The next stop is the Big Dipper Star Field!" Ye Fan said.
"Master, are you sure … that's our final destination?" Even someone as cold as Long Yuxuan was excited.
"I didn't think that we could really reach the Big Dipper Star Field. I think those enemies of yours in the past would never have thought that you would return from the starry sky and fight with them again," Zhang Qingyang said.
Ye Fan muttered to himself, "The premise is that we don't march all the way to the ancient star of Fairy."
