Lu Ye walked to the window and lifted the hanging red curtain. Looking out, he saw multicolored beams of light shuttling back and forth like fish. Beams of light were constantly thrown down, and new ones were born. The outside world looked grotesque.
"This is …" Lu Ye showed a look of surprise.
Jiu Yan said, "This palanquin is moving at a terrifying speed …" After saying that, she shook her head. "No, it shouldn't be called moving. It should be said that it's shuttling through space. What you see before you is just a phenomenon caused by the shuttling through space."
"Where is it going?" Lu Ye asked.
"I'm not sure." Jiu Yan also wanted to figure out where it was going, but she had no clue so far.
Lu Ye walked to the other window and found that the situation was the same as here. He was shocked. Inside the palanquin, he couldn't feel the palanquin moving at all. The space inside the palanquin was extremely stable, as if it really was a secluded room.
Thinking about the terrifying power that suddenly erupted from the palanquin, Lu Ye's heart trembled. This thing … Could it be a supreme treasure?
But looking at the universe, the number of supreme treasures was limited. Why had he never heard of such a supreme treasure before? Jiu Yan clearly knew nothing about the palanquin.
But the current situation was that he and Jiu Yan were trapped here.
"The origin of this palanquin should be the same as that of the ox monster. They both came from a place called Star Abyss." Jiu Yan suddenly said. It wasn't strange to have such an inference because the ox monster recognized the palanquin and was very eager to get on it.
"Senior sister knows about Star Abyss?" Lu Ye asked.
"I've never heard of it." Jiu Yan shook her head. "Actually, I'm more curious about the door that suddenly appeared on Jade Sword Island."
When something happened on Jade Sword Island, Lu Ye was the first to arrive with Luan Xiaoe and Yan Miao. Jiu Yan arrived later, so she didn't know what happened before.
Lu Ye sighed. "It's related to the insect race. They carried out an inexplicable sacrifice on Jade Sword Island, using the lives of two Rizhao and all the cultivators on Jade Sword Island as the price to open the door. They also used something that looks like a clay jar. I've never seen it before."
"What does it look like?" Jiu Yan asked.
Lu Ye described it in detail. Jiu Yan was also at a loss. She clearly didn't know what the clay jar was.
"So, the Zergs were the ones who opened the portal, and they even paid the price with the lives of two Rikashi!"
"There are three of them. I injured the third one and sent him back to the Mermaid Island. I was going to interrogate him later."
Now that he was trapped in the ghost palanquin, he didn't have the chance to ask anything.
"The insectoids paid such a huge price, and they chose Jade Sword Island. Could this have something to do with the descent of the great influence?" Jiu Yan was bewildered.
"I think so too. The insectoids obviously know something, but right now, we have no way to verify it. The door they opened on Jade Sword Island should be connected to the Star Abyss, and the strength of those fellows who came from the Star Abyss is very strange. "
Lu Ye wasn't sure about the other two, but he knew that even Jiuyan wasn't a match for the bull demon. With such terrifying strength, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was invincible.
Jiu Yan said, "That bull demon must have forged his Dao foundation. That's why he's so powerful."
"Forged his Dao foundation?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Shrouded in the shadows, Jiu Yan's bright eyes looked at him. "You have a good relationship with Ma Bin. Haven't you asked him about his Dao foundation?"
Ma Bin had forged his Dao foundation. Previously, his Dao foundation was damaged, and he had been healing in the Three World Island for several years.
"No." Lu Ye shook his head. He really didn't ask Ma Bin about this, and he didn't know much about the Dao foundation.
Jiu Yan sighed. "On the path of cultivation, Rikashi is the peak. Since ancient times, it has always been like this. Many cultivators have reached their limits and couldn't advance any further. Although there is an ancient rumor that after Rikashi, cultivators have to forge their own Dao foundation to have the possibility to advance further, there is no standard or specific cultivation method to forge the Dao foundation. That's why there is the Outer Body Incarnation Method, the Inner Core Method, and other kinds of methods. These are the helpless actions of Rikashi when they can't advance any further."
"Did Senior Ma Bin forge his own Dao foundation?" Lu Ye asked.
"Yes!" Jiu Yan nodded. "That's why he's so powerful."
"What about you?"
"If I knew how to forge my Dao foundation, I wouldn't have Outer Body Incarnation, I wouldn't have …" Jiu Yan looked at him in annoyance. She stopped mid-sentence and changed the topic. "In the entire galaxy, including Ma Bin, there are no more than three people who have successfully forged their own Dao foundation. And they all had their own fortuitous encounters. No one can imitate them."
Lu Ye finally understood why Ma Bin was stronger than the others when they were all at the peak of Rikashi.
As for what kind of fortuitous encounter Ma Bin had to forge his own Dao foundation, Lu Ye didn't know. Ma Bin was from the previous Jiuzhou era. He had a long lifespan, so it wasn't strange for him to have his own fortuitous encounters.
Then, Lu Ye realized something else. "What about Changfeng? Does he include the three people who have forged their Dao foundation? "
"Of course not. Senior Brother Changfeng is strong, but he's still within the limits of Rikashi."
"That's not right." Lu Ye was puzzled. "If that's the case, doesn't that mean Senior Ma Bin is weaker than the bull demon?"
Back then, Ma Bin was besieged by Changfeng and the others. As a result, his Dao foundation was damaged. On the other hand, they were four against one this time. At first, they couldn't do anything to the bull demon. Even the power of the Sword Gourd didn't work. The Sword Gourd was a treasure, but the bull demon was able to withstand it without any injuries. How terrifying was that?
The strength that he displayed seemed to be much stronger than Ma Bin's.
Jiu Yan said, "Even those who have forged their Dao foundation have differences in strength. That bull demon came from the Star Abyss. There must be something mysterious in the Star Abyss!"
In the entire galaxy, including Ma Bin, there were no more than three people who had forged their Dao foundation. But this time, the three uninvited guests from the Star Abyss were all people who had forged their Dao foundation. It was obviously not a coincidence.
This undoubtedly signified one thing, and that was that this place, Star Abyss, very likely had a method to establish one's Dao Foundation!
This was also the reason why Jiu Yan didn't panic even though she was trapped here. She even had some expectations because the ghost palanquin came from the Star Abyss. It was very likely that it would bring her to the Star Abyss. In that case, there was hope for her future, which had been trapped for so many years.
If that was the case, then this was an opportunity for her.
But she didn't expect that Lu Ye would also be involved!
Lu Ye could feel Jiu Yan's thoughts and faintly discerned her expectations. But now that she was trapped in the ghost palanquin, whether she could escape or when she could escape was still unknown!
Thinking about it carefully, the sudden appearance of the red vortex alarmed the Constellation Palace in the depths of the Wanxiang Sea. Its projection suppressed the door. Under the cover of the treasure's power, the three powerful enemies' strength rapidly weakened. This gave Rikashi the chance to deal with them.
Their weakening was obviously related to the suppression of the door. The bull demon was very flustered at that time and wanted to leave through the door. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.
Since he couldn't leave, logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything coming from the other side of the door.
But in fact, the ghost palanquin came …
Just a moment before the ghost palanquin came, the Constellation Palace's projection faded to the point where it was almost invisible. It inexplicably gave people the feeling that the Constellation Palace deliberately let it come.
Why did the Constellation Palace let the ghost palanquin come? Was it because they couldn't resist it? Or was the ghost palanquin's arrival not harmful to the starry sky?
Lu Ye didn't know.
After that, the ghost palanquin took Jiu Yan away. This was obviously because of its strength. Because before the ghost palanquin made such a move, its power radiated across the entire Wanxiang Galaxy. At that time, Jiu Yan was the strongest in the Wanxiang Galaxy.
As for himself … it was purely an accident. He could sense that the ghost palanquin's counterattack was something he couldn't resist at all. But for some reason, the moment the red ribbon touched him, the ghost palanquin didn't kill him. Instead, it pulled him in.
The current situation was very clear.
As long as there wasn't too much of a commotion in the ghost palanquin, it should be safe. And there was a high probability that the ghost palanquin would bring them back to the Star Abyss. This could be inferred from the bull demon's previous reaction.
The Star Abyss … What kind of place was that?
Why were the cultivators from the Star Abyss able to forge their Dao foundation so easily?
Perhaps these doubts could only be answered when they truly arrived at the Star Abyss.
Since they were already there, they might as well take things as they came. For the next period of time, Lu Ye cultivated while recuperating. Jiu Yan silently sat in a corner, neither of them disturbing the other. They only occasionally chatted to pass the time.
On this day, Lu Ye, who was meditating and polishing his Soul Subduing Secret Art, suddenly opened his eyes. This was because a strange sound came from the ghost palanquin that had been deathly silent all this time.
It was as if something was sliding, and there was a rustling sound.
But when he looked in the direction of the sound, he couldn't see anything.
"Come here!" Jiu Yan shouted at Lu Ye.
Of course, she also noticed such an obvious movement.
Lu Ye's heart warmed.
Ever since they were trapped in the ghost palanquin, Jiu Yan had done her best to appear indifferent and rarely made any useless exchanges with him. But when something really happened, she still showed concern.
The ghost palanquin had been quiet all this time, but it suddenly reacted today. It was obviously abnormal.
Lu Ye hurried to Jiu Yan's side.
Just as he steadied himself, the tightly closed door of the palanquin suddenly opened. Then, a red ribbon quickly retracted. At the end of the ribbon was a figure.
That person had a baffled expression. Clearly, he still hadn't figured out what had happened. He was thrown to the ground by the red ribbon and rolled a few times before coming to a stop.
He immediately stood up and circulated his magic power, vigilantly sizing up his surroundings.
With a boom … the opened door of the palanquin closed again.
In the corner of the enclosed space, Lu Ye, who was standing beside Jiu Yan, met the eyes of the person who had suddenly appeared. The other party's face was immediately filled with hostility. He raised his hand and summoned a powerful magic treasure. "Fellow Daoists, there are no grievances or enmity between us. Why did you launch a sneak attack?"
