#790 - To the stars

Back on Mount Zongwang, the first thing Jun Wuxie did was take out the vast majority of the resources he obtained from the Golden Scale Secret Realm and give them to Consort Ling for storage.

He only kept a little over a thousand Saint Source clusters for himself, enough Qiankun gems to craft several Qiankun battle armors at their maximum limit.

"Young Master, I'll go with you."

Consort Ling hugged his arm tightly, knowing from his series of actions that he was about to set off alone.

"You stay behind to guard the dynasty; it's enough for me and Lan Lan to go."

"How can that be!"

All the women objected, surrounding him.

"You know very well that the release of Ji Beilan's image at this time is someone's scheme to deal with you; how can you go to the starry sky alone?"

"Husband, just let Sister Lingfei go with you!"

"Lingfei must stay behind."

Jun Wuxie shook his head and said, "The upper realm envoys don't know when they will descend. My trip will be very long, and the Heavenly Position battle is very close. I don't have time to return to Emperor Beginning Star. After going to the Xiluo Ancient Star and resolving Ji Beilan's matter, I will go directly to the star field designated for the Heavenly Position battle. The dynasty must have a strong person to guard it; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Aren't there still the Four Great Beast Kings?"

"There are the Four Great Beast Kings, but the number of upper realm envoys is not small. If they descend at the same time, it's unknown whether the Four Great Beast Kings can handle them. In short, Lingfei cannot go to the starry sky with me."

"Then… choose one of the Four Great Beast Kings to take with you; otherwise, we won't let you go!"

They surrounded him, looking as if they wouldn't let him leave unless he agreed.

"You're rebelling…"

Jun Wuxie looked at their stubborn eyes, revealing a helpless expression, and said, "Alright, I promise you, I'll take a Beast King to the starry sky."

"Okay, then you must be careful and protect yourself."

"I will."

Jun Wuxie opened his palm, and a formation diagram flew out.

He gave it to Lingfei and shared the method of using the formation with her through divine sense, saying, "This Breaking Limit Formation can help you break through the growth ceiling, up to the peak of the third level of Ancient Legend. For the fourth level and above, I'll find a way when I return. You must cultivate diligently and improve your talent growth."

"Daddy~ Goodbye~"

Little Xian'er waved her small hands in Lilia's arms, pouting her lips, tears sparkling in her eyes.

"Xian'er be good, listen to Mommy, and wait for Daddy to come back."

He held his daughter for a moment, handed her to Lilia, soared into the sky, and disappeared from their sight.

Above the Cangyan Lion's territory, he stopped, preparing to take the Lion King to the starry sky.

"Does the young master intend to always rely on the power of others?"

Before he could transmit his voice to the Lion King, the Vermilion Bird's voice rang in his ear.

Turning around, he saw the Vermilion Bird standing beside him, wearing a golden-red Vermilion Bird feather coat, beautiful and noble with a hint of majesty.

"The young master is now at the peak of the middle Heavenly Position, the tenth level of Ancient Legend, and has the Qiankun battle armor. He should go to the starry sky alone, considering it a trial."

"I'm just afraid they'll worry if they know I didn't take a Beast King to the starry sky."

He sighed, according to his own thoughts, he was also treating this trip as a trial and didn't intend to bring a Beast King, but he couldn't resist their demands.

"Forget it."

He shook his head and left.

Just as he was about to leave the city, he heard the Little World Tree's voice transmission.

He was stunned, changed direction, and instantly landed in front of the Little World Tree.

Two verdant branches stretched out, and soft leaves gently brushed his face.

"Little World Tree, what do you need me for?"

He lowered his eyes and looked at the branches sweeping across his face. Every time he saw the Little World Tree, she seemed to like to sweep his face with branches. He didn't know what kind of hobby this was.

"I have something to give you."

The Little World Tree's voice was gentle and soft, like heavenly music. A mass of verdant energy flowing with hazy light flew out from the tree body, suspended in front of him.

"This is some special energy I extracted during the recovery process. Refining it will help you break into the extreme realm of the middle Heavenly Position in a short time."

"Won't this affect your body's recovery?"

Jun Wuxie looked at the energy in front of him, feeling a trace of special origin energy. Obviously, this energy was particularly precious.

"No, this energy is redundant and has no effect on my recovery. It all comes from the strange earth you gave me. It can not only help you break through the extreme realm but also strengthen your physical body and improve your physical potential. It can increase your talent growth intensity slightly, but it cannot achieve the effect of increasing by one level."

"It's good if it doesn't affect your recovery. Time is tight, I can't stay with you any longer, I must go to the starry sky as soon as possible."

"Go, take care."

The Little World Tree's branches slowly retracted.

Jun Wuxie turned around and instantly moved away from the capital city.

At the same time, the Xuanyuan Slaying God Sword's voice rang near the Little World Tree: "Is it worth it for you to do this? Just to help him break through the extreme realm as soon as possible, you actually extracted your own origin essence?"

"It's not just breaking through the extreme realm, it can also help him increase his talent growth intensity slightly. Going to the starry sky, he may face many dangers. Being able to break through the realm earlier will make it relatively easier to deal with."

"Ah, but the output and benefits are not proportional. With his talent and the resources he currently possesses, improving his realm is just a matter of spending more time, but you are like this, it will greatly damage yourself, and in the future, it may lead to you not being able to recover to the upper limit of your peak…"

"You don't understand his significance in my heart…"

"I know, he rescued you from the endless abyss of darkness and gave you hope of life. I also know that you are grateful to him, but you like this…"

"Not only that, he is also the future hope of this universe, the person I am destined to follow and assist. As long as I can help him, everything is worth it. As for whether I can recover to my peak in the future, those are too far away. I'm afraid this doomsday is a tribulation I can't overcome…"

Xuanyuan Slaying God Sword was silent.

This doomsday, what the future will be like, he also finds it difficult to predict, but it will be particularly cruel.

He cannot respond to the Little World Tree. He knows that if he could take action, one sword would be able to destroy the darkness invading this world.

But he can't, he can't do that, otherwise, it will cause unpredictable disasters and cause the darkness of the heavens to erupt in advance. At that time, there will really be no hope.

Therefore, in the future, no matter what kind of despair, what kind of sorrow, what kind of misery he sees in this world, he can only watch, he can only watch like that…

…

In Myriad World Ancient Academy, on the square in front of the main hall, the Starry Sky Ancient Road Formation Diagram is being restored.

"Wuxie, you must be careful and cautious on this trip. Once you reach the starry sky, these forces you have developed, and even we, will no longer be able to help you, as our reach is too limited. This time, someone is deliberately leading you to go, I am really worried…"

The Grand Elder's mood was heavy, holding Jun Wuxie's hand, holding it very tightly, not wanting him to go to the starry sky alone, but he couldn't say the words of dissuasion.

"Can't you not go?"

Ninth Elder couldn't help but ask.

"No."

Jun Wuxie shook his head. Ji Beilan was trapped in the Colosseum, in an extremely dangerous situation, and Ji Yinlan was very likely also going to the Xiluo Ancient Star.

He had to go, otherwise, if something unexpected happened, he would never forgive himself.

"We know we can't dissuade you, so we have something to give you."

The Grand Elder reached out and sucked into the void, and the entire sky of Myriad World Ancient Academy shook.

The void above the sky twisted, and a large three-legged, two-eared cauldron emerged, quickly shrinking and flying into his hand.

"Come on, take it, refine it. I know your soul realm is profound, erase the soul imprint in it, and refine it into your weapon!"

"This is a Saint Artifact?"

Jun Wuxie had seen this cauldron before. When dealing with the Yin Domain Vault in the Centaur Clan's ancestral village, the Grand Elder had sacrificed this cauldron.

It's just that his vision at that time was not good, and he couldn't see its grade.

"A genuine Saint Soldier, one of the treasures of Myriad World Ancient Academy 【Myriad World Treasure Cauldron】!"

Sixth Elder patted him on the shoulder and said, "People can die, but the Treasure Cauldron cannot be lost!"

"You old man, are you feeling that this Treasure Cauldron is more important than my life?"

Jun Wuxie reached out to grab Sixth Elder's beard. Sixth Elder didn't dodge, letting him grab it. His eyes were a little red, and he said, "You brat, if you dare not come alive to participate in the Heavenly Position battle, this old man won't spare you!"

"I won't die, my life is tough!"

Jun Wuxie smiled easily. The atmosphere was too heavy, making his mood also heavy.

He could feel the expectations and care of the elders of Myriad World Ancient Academy for him.

"This is the starry sky coordinates. The location is in the Fallen Star Region. The Heavenly Position battle two months later will be held on the Fallen Ancient Star in the center of the Fallen Star Region."

When stepping onto the Starry Sky Ancient Road Formation Diagram, the Grand Elder gave him a string of precise coordinates.

"I'm leaving, don't worry about me. If the upper realm envoys descend and my Immortal Slaying Dynasty has difficulty coping, please help us, elders."

"Go, don't worry about other things, we know what to do."

…

The starry sky is not as beautiful as seen on the ground.

It is dark and desolate. In the vast void, there is almost no light in the vast space. Coldness and darkness coexist.

When Jun Wuxie fell out of the ancient road teleportation passage, this was the scene he saw.

The Starry Sky Ancient Road Formation Diagram is connected to a post station city in the starry sky.

The post station city is built on fragments of stars floating in the starry sky.

However, the ancient teleportation formation does not directly teleport to the post station city, but only to its vicinity, in order to prevent dark creatures from directly appearing in the post station city through the starry sky teleportation array during the doomsday torrent.

Fortunately, he obtained the coordinates of each post station city from the Grand Elder and quickly deduced the accurate direction.

Looking around, he could still see those twinkling stars in the distant starry sky, but the surroundings were a darkness, vast and boundless.

Here, there was no air, no temperature, no sign of life, only emptiness.

"Facing the vast starry sky, does the young master feel his own insignificance?"

"Aunt You?"

Jun Wuxie turned his head at the sound and saw the Vermilion Bird, clad in golden-red feathered robes, standing behind him.

"Let's go, the starry sky is lonely, Aunt You will keep you company."

"I want to ride, so I don't have to rush on my own, and I can use the time to cultivate, striving to break through my realm sooner."

He summoned Lan Lan, flipped over and sat on its back, gave Lan Lan a direction, and transformed into a streak of blue light, traveling through the vast starry sky.

Due to his breakthrough in realm, Lan Lan's realm followed him to the peak of the Middle Heavenly Stage. Even without using Super God Speed, its speed was extremely astonishing, reaching more than ten times the speed of light.

After all, this was the starry sky, unaffected by the rules of the stars, so the speed was naturally much faster than on Emperor Beginning Star.

Jun Wuxie was just preparing to cultivate when he felt like there was someone behind him.

He looked back, unable to help but be stunned: "Aunt You, why are you sitting here too?"

"What, is the young master unhappy that Aunt You is riding with you?"

The Vermilion Bird looked at him, her golden eyes incomparably deep and serene, as if they could see through the heavens and the universe, and nothing could escape her gaze.

Jun Wuxie felt uncomfortable all over from her gaze, as if his pants had been stripped off, exposing him naked in front of others. He hurriedly turned his head away and protested, "Aunt You, can you not look at me with that kind of gaze? You're a Heavenly Emperor Realm existence, aren't you just bullying me?"

"It was the young master who wanted to look into Aunt You's eyes. Aunt You has already restrained herself to the utmost. There's no helping it, who told Aunt You to be a Heavenly Emperor, and the young master is just a small cultivator in the Half-Saint domain."

Jun Wuxie: …

This is a dimensionality reduction attack, too much!
