The Starlight Ancient Road
"You want to reap the benefits without doing anything?"
Lin Jingxuan saw through Gu Tianjiao's thoughts with a single glance.
On the way from the Heaven Breaker Temple to this place, the two of them had naturally discovered Chu Xingyun's tracks. They knew that they were weaker than the other side, so they did not attack and instead secretly followed them.
Lin Jingxuan was very sure that the destination of Chu Xingyun's group was this ancient city, but he did not know why they had traveled so far to come here.
At this moment, Chu Xingyun's group had entered the ancient city, and Ye Qianhan had also entered just now. If a great treasure really appeared, these two sides would definitely stir up a storm.
"Luo Yun's group definitely has their own motives for entering the ancient city, and Ye Qianhan is the same. As long as these two sides meet, it is reasonable for them to fight. At that time, if we act from the shadows, we will definitely be able to reap some benefits."
Gu Tianjiao's eyes constantly darted around. Seeing that Lin Jingxuan was somewhat hesitant, he enticed, "However, whether or not we can reap any benefits is not important. What's important is that both you and I will have a chance to kill our enemies!"
Hearing this, Lin Jingxuan's eyes darkened, and a chilling aura emanated from his body. Seeing this, Gu Tianjiao added, "Even if we don't reap any benefits in the end, it's fine. We will hide in the shadows and not confront them directly. As soon as something happens, I will activate the Void Crossing Spirit Boat and immediately leave this ancient city."
Lin Jingxuan pondered Gu Tianjiao's words, and his eyes became somewhat blurred. After thinking for a while, he nodded, "Alright, we'll do as brother Gu says."
Gu Tianjiao grinned and patted Lin Jingxuan's shoulder heavily, but when he turned around, his eyes immediately darkened. He thought to himself, "First he lost to Baili Kuangsheng, then he was almost killed by Ye Qianhan. The current Lin Jingxuan is like a bird startled by the twang of a bow, and he no longer has the courage from before. It seems that this person is not of much value."
Just as Chu Xingyun had said, Gu Tianjiao had saved Lin Jingxuan for two reasons. First, he wanted to take the ancient saber for himself and increase his own strength. Second, he wanted to find a helper so that he could borrow a knife to kill others.
But at this moment, Lin Jingxuan no longer had his unparalleled momentum. He had become timid. If Gu Tianjiao hadn't used Luo Sen to provoke him, he probably wouldn't have dared to take even half a step into the ancient city.
Thinking of this, Gu Tianjiao frowned. He gazed into the distance, at the ancient city that was filled with tens of thousands of twinkling stars. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Chu Xingyun and his group had no idea what was happening outside the ancient city. At this time, they had already arrived at the center of the ancient city and were standing in front of the Star Equaling Temple's entrance.
In the void, tens of thousands of stars shone. Starlight shone down one after another, reflecting on the bricks and tiles of the Equaling Star Temple, causing the entire temple to be bathed in the starlight. The grandeur of the temple was magnificent, without any sense of decline or desolation.
In front of the temple stood an ancient stone tablet. The tablet was pitch-black, and two words were written on it — Equaling Star.
"This Star Equaling Temple stands in the center of the ancient city and is enveloped by tens of thousands of stars. If it weren't for Swordmaster Luo Yun's help, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to reach this step." Su Jingan looked at the ancient stone tablet and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
He looked at Chu Xingyun and saw that Chu Xingyun was standing in front of the temple's entrance. His eyes were focused on the stars as he stared unblinkingly at the statue. He was faintly entranced.
"Swordmaster Luo Yun." Su Jingan's voice rose a few pitches, startling Chu Xingyun out of his daze. He couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Chu Xingyun replied with a faint smile. He glanced at the statue from the corner of his eye and murmured, "I just feel that this statue is a little strange."
"Strange?" Su Jingan's gaze turned cold. Baili Kuangsheng and Su Muzhao also looked over. They looked at the statue and then looked at Chu Xingyun with puzzled expressions.
Chu Xingyun nodded and explained, "We've also entered quite a few Sacred Palaces. The masters of each Sacred Palace were peerless experts who could shake the heavens and earth. Although they're already dead, the Qi they left behind is still tyrannical and tyrannical.
"However, this statue gives me a very strange feeling. It's indifferent, refined, and without any sharp aura. In fact, I can't even feel the will of an expert from this statue. It's as if it's just an empty shell."
After Chu Xingyun's explanation, the three of them had the same feeling.
Su Jingan glanced at the statue and said to Chu Xingyun, "This statue does not make sense. However, it's meaningless for us to delve into it here. Let's enter the temple immediately and see if we can find anything."
After he said that, Baili Kuangsheng and Su Muzhao both looked at him with approval.
They had finally arrived at Qixing Temple after so much effort. Compared to that, the significance of this statue was not that great. Even if there were mysteries hidden in it, there was no need to spend too much time.
"Indeed." Chu Xingyun slowly said as he shifted his gaze away from the statue. However, at the very last moment, he deeply imprinted the statue's expression, movements, and every detail into his mind. After doing all that, he walked towards the entrance of the sacred hall.
Creak!
The gate of the temple slowly opened and an ancient aura spread out from inside. Then, in the vision of the four of them, a dark passage appeared. It was straight and long, and they did not know where it led to.
"Let's go," Chu Xingyun said. The four of them moved at the same time and walked into Qixing Temple.
Their footsteps were slow and light. They were constantly paying attention to their surroundings. This Qixing Temple was so extraordinary that they did not dare to underestimate it. Even Chu Xingyun was the same. He did not dare to be careless.
Boom!
When they stepped into the temple, the ancient gate of the temple closed automatically behind them. The entire space darkened at first. Then, rays of starlight flickered and cut through the darkness, illuminating the entire space.
"This is …" When they saw the scene in front of them clearly, the four of them froze. Su Jing 'an even let out a cry of surprise.
The place where they were standing was not a palace, but a mysterious space surrounded by stars. In the void, there were thousands of stars, countless of them. They gathered to form a galaxy that was dazzling and bright.
And in front of Chu Xingyun and the other three, there was an ancient road.
The ancient road was extremely wide and could accommodate more than ten people at the same time. It stretched across the sky and went straight ahead. There was no end in sight. On the ancient road, there were many twinkling starlight and there was a strong aura everywhere.
"There is an independent space in the temple?" Chu Xingyun frowned.
This Qixing Temple was too extravagant. The entrance of the temple was connected to an independent space. Moreover, this space was filled with spiritual arrays. There were so many of them that even he felt a chill down his spine.
