The twinkling of the Ziwei celestial stars doesn't specifically refer to a single star twinkling, but rather to a celestial phenomenon.
In the mortal realm, Ziwei never refers to a specific ancient star, but rather a sign that the world is changing and entering a new era. At that time, the stars in the universe shine as if in celebration.
The Heavenly Heart Imprint appears once every 100,000 years. Each time it appears, it heralds the end of an old era and the arrival of a new one.
For example, the Desolate Ancient Era of 500,000 years ago. People living in that period wouldn't have called their era the Desolate Ancient Era, as it was named by later generations.
Gu Sheng won the Heavenly Heart Imprint of that era and used 'Desolate Ancient' as his imperial title, becoming the pioneer of that era. That's how the Desolate Ancient Era came to be, and the Sacred Body was called the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body by all races.
As the Ziwei celestial stars twinkled, all experts with cultivation above the Saint realm in the universe felt it. Some old monsters in secluded cultivation also emerged from their retreats, leaving their respective ancient stars and heading to the Ancient Starry Road.
Ancient Land of the Heavenly Serpent Tribe!
"Mother, we're leaving."
The Heavenly Serpent Tribe's quadruplet sisters waved goodbye to their mother, the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable, and stepped on the Demon Suppression List, flying towards the Ancient Starry Road.
On a large star filled with extreme Yin energy, a beautiful woman sat cross-legged on the summit. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the sky. She stood up and restrained her aura, and the extreme Yin energy of this large star dissipated immediately. Clearly, this was the movement caused by her cultivation. The extreme Yin energy released alone was enough to suppress many Return to One realm experts.
"It's finally starting."
The woman's eyes flashed with divine light. She took a step, and the next moment, she arrived in front of a star that constantly released powerful heat in the starry sky.
"Lin Tian," Gu Xiruo said.
The next moment, this star rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into a man, precisely Lin Tian.
"Let's go, let's watch the show." Gu Xiruo took Lin Tian's arm. Lin Tian, who was expressionless and taciturn all day long, rarely showed a hint of a smile.
One was the Solar Sacred Body, and the other was the Lunar Sacred Body. The two held hands and transformed into a divine rainbow of Yin and Yang, flying towards the Ancient Starry Road.
A small Taoist temple on a mountain in Tianqi Continent. Li Ruoyu stopped his daily routine of lecturing his disciples. He looked at the nine disciples in front of him, who had been following him for nearly three thousand years.
However, their cultivation talent was not high. The strongest among them had barely reached the Saint realm, but he didn't care about it.
The Great Dao is inaction, and the Dao follows nature.
How far they can go depends entirely on themselves, and he will not interfere excessively.
"Three thousand years have passed. What I should teach has been taught, and the Dao that should be passed down has been passed down. The future path depends on you.", Li Ruoyu said to them.
"Master, are you leaving?"
The eldest disciple, Shangguan Fei, was full of reluctance. The other disciples also stared at Li Ruoyu.
"Hehe, the road ahead is long, and the Great Dao is boundless. I also have my own Dao to cultivate and my own path to walk. It's impossible to be with you forever.", Li Ruoyu smiled. With a wave of his hand, his Taoist robe fluttered, and nine futons appeared in the sky.
"These nine futons contain my lifelong understanding of the Dao. If you have any doubts in the future, sit cross-legged on them, and perhaps you can solve your doubts."
After saying that, the nine futons scattered into the hands of each disciple.
"Master..."
"There's no need to say sentimental words.", Li Ruoyu interrupted Shangguan Fei.
"No, Master, when are you going to bring our mistress back?", Shangguan Fei asked.
"..." Li Ruoyu.
"I sentence you to copy the sect's Daoist scriptures a hundred times.", Li Ruoyu said calmly.
"Ah... Master, I was wrong, I..."
Shangguan Fei wanted to beg for mercy, but Li Ruoyu had already left.
Shangguan Fei's face turned pale, while the other eight junior brothers and sisters came up to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother, for receiving a large gift package of copying. Congratulations, truly congratulations!"
"Congratulations, congratulations..."
"Get lost!"
Shangguan Fei said unhappily, then walked staggeringly towards the five-story Scripture Pavilion.
There were no cultivation techniques inside, only Daoist scriptures explaining the Great Dao.
Over the years, none of the nine of them had not copied them.
As for not copying? They wouldn't dare. Although the master was usually very amiable, if he took some things seriously, their butts would really bloom.
Beichen Star, Seven Star Sword Sect.
"Boss, don't worry, even if something happens to you, I will still take good care of the sect."
In front of the Gathering Heaven Warship, Fatty Duan Fei waved goodbye to Li Beifei and his group.
"You dead fatty, can't you say something nice?" On the deck, Li Beifei scolded with a smile.
Duan Fei smiled cheekily and said, "Then boss, I wish you a smooth journey and success."
"Too official.", Li Beifei was not satisfied.
"Grandmaster, good luck, defeat all the others!"
Yi Yi, sitting on a Titan Giant Ape, shouted loudly.
"Hahaha, a girl is still good!" Li Beifei laughed loudly.
On the warship, Yun Chuan and Xu Jiaojiao stood side by side, Tian Peng stood behind Ye Hongyi, Li Beifei, Mu Qingyi, Liu Yanran, and Liu Yuran were all smiling and waving goodbye to the people of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
The Gathering Heaven Warship, under the admiring eyes of all the sect disciples, broke through the void and left Beichen Star.
"Let's go!"
On the other side, Gu Tianjun emerged from seclusion. Yaochi Saintess Ye Yuxian walked to his side, took his arm, and came to the Golden Retriever, flying towards the starry sky like a divine couple.
One of the thirty-three new heavens and earth, Gu Xichao carried the Sun Shooting Bow on his back. His mind sank, and in his divine sea, the mysterious woman Ye Qingqing sat cross-legged.
Ye Qingqing in Gu Xichao's eyes, the real Ye Qingyan, was still deep in the mist.
"Qingqing!", Gu Xichao said.
"What's the matter?", Ye Qingyan's tone was full of戏谑.
This little man is obsessed with cultivation all day long. He doesn't usually chat with her, and only remembers her when something happens, humph!
"Uh..." Gu Xichao touched his nose. They had been together for more than two hundred years, and he was no longer the naive guy who didn't understand anything. He also knew that he had been focusing on cultivation and ignoring Qingqing's feelings for so many years.
"After this is over, shall we go shopping?"
After thinking for a long time, Gu Xichao squeezed out this sentence.
But Ye Qingyan was very satisfied and said, "A man must do what he says."
"Don't worry, as a member of the Gu family, I have always kept my word.", Gu Xichao did not hesitate to guarantee his ability to do what he said as a member of the Gu family.
Under the mist, Ye Qingyan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"Let's go!"
She waved her hand, and the outside Gu Xichao turned into a stream of light, breaking through the barrier between heaven and earth and arriving in the Ancient Starry Road.
As the Ziwei celestial stars twinkled, countless experts from the universe gathered towards the Ancient Starry Road, whether they were contemporary geniuses who had failed and returned from the Ancient Starry Road, or old antiques who had participated in the Ancient Starry Road hegemony in the past and had failed regretfully.
For a time, the long-calm mortal universe became lively as the stars twinkled.
Some people even saw experts recorded in ancient books as having died appear in the present.
On the edge of the universe, the Ziwei Holy Land, which was originally exiled by Gu Changsheng to guard the border, was now sent by the Holy Emperor Palace to develop a new world.
It was said to be development, but most of it was actually mining!
A man in tight clothes was walking, carrying a huge ore. The ore here was very sensitive to spiritual power. Too strong spiritual power would accidentally detonate the entire mining area. Therefore, the monks who were digging here, no matter how strong their cultivation was, could not use spiritual power and could only use the power of their physical bodies.
At this time, two people stood in front of the man. When the man saw the people coming, his face froze, "Old Ancestor?"
"We are not your old ancestor. You have been expelled from our sect. Why are you still here?"
One of them looked at the man with a stern face.
"This is not the place for you to stay. Leave quickly.", The other person said coldly.
"Old Ancestor, I..."
"Get out quickly!"
The person who spoke first snatched the ore from the man's hand and left alone.
The person who stayed behind said to the man, "The Ziwei Holy Land has become a thing of the past. There are only sinners here, and you are no longer the Holy Son of the Ziwei Holy Land. You should not appear here."
"Take your things and get out!"
The man threw out a package and left.
The man held the package, which contained a purple holy garment. This holy garment was passed down by the Ziwei Great Emperor. Although it was not a Supreme Treasure, it was also an extremely powerful treasure, and in the Ziwei Holy Land, it was a symbol of identity.
Only the Holy Lord of each generation of the Holy Land was qualified to wear it.
"Remember, from now on, the Ziwei Holy Land is no longer. Outside, you cannot call yourself the Holy Son of Ziwei."
A voice came from afar.
"Old Ancestor!"
The man's eyes were complicated, but when he saw the holy garment in his hand, his eyes gradually became firm.
"From now on, there will be no more Holy Son of Ziwei in the world, and my name is Zixiao!"
The man put on the holy garment and came to the port established by the Holy Emperor Palace in this world. He was preparing to take the warship of the Holy Emperor Palace to leave this world. Otherwise, with his own strength, he would not know how many tens of thousands of years it would take to go back.
And his destination was not the Ancient Starry Road, but Tianhuang Star.
The warship of the Holy Emperor Palace was built by Ye Qingyan, and it had reached the level of a fairy weapon. With the fairy array engraved on the warship, it only took one day for the man to return to Tianhuang Star from this world.
"Zixiao requests to see the White Tiger Demon Emperor!"
He came to the Holy Emperor Palace and knelt down.
"What's the matter?"
A voice came from the Holy Emperor Palace.
"This junior wants to go to the Danqing Great World and contribute a meager force to my mortal world to conquer the myriad worlds.", Zixiao said powerfully.
"You are only at the sixth level of the Return to One realm. In the Danqing Great World, that is a fairy-level battlefield. Even this seat has the danger of falling. Are you sure you want to go?"
The White Tiger Demon Emperor asked indifferently.
"Go!"
Zixiao was only more determined.
"Okay!"
The White Tiger Demon Emperor allowed it, and even personally took action, using the power of the Holy Emperor Palace to send Zixiao to the Danqing Great World.
Inside the Holy Emperor Palace, Ye Qingyan's clone was playing Go with the White Tiger Demon Emperor.
"Interesting, others are going to the Ancient Starry Road at this time, but he chose to go to the Danqing Great World.", Ye Qingyan found Zixiao's behavior interesting, but that was all.
"This young man was originally a noble Holy Son, but some people in the Holy Land behind him did something that angered the master, but the master saw that Ziwei had contributed to the human race and did not completely destroy them, but exiled them.
Speaking of which, this young man has too many things on his shoulders, but his talent is not enough for him to face the current situation. In the mortal world, he will always be a green leaf. Perhaps he thought of this, so he went to the Danqing Great World.
Although his cultivation is only cannon fodder in the face of such a war, if he can survive in that environment, maybe he can become a general who expands the territory."
The White Tiger Demon Emperor said softly. She did not hesitate to use the power of the Holy Emperor Palace to send Zixiao to the Danqing Great World, not because she was very optimistic about Zixiao, but because as long as Zixiao had a trace of possibility to help the mortal world expand the territory, she was willing to try.
And the price was nothing more than that she lost a game of Go just now when she was distracted. At worst, she would tease Qingyan Sister with Gu Xichao later to make her distracted and win back.
And Ye Qingyan heard the White Tiger Demon Emperor's words and knew that she was talking about the Ziwei Holy Land. Since she was able to be in the Holy Emperor Palace, she naturally had a long-term understanding of the history of the mortal world.
So the interest she had just raised was annihilated, and it was better to win another game of Go.
"By the way, how is Gu Xichao being trained now?" The White Tiger Demon Emperor asked seemingly unintentionally.
Ye Qingyan's face froze, and then she glared at the White Tiger Demon Emperor and said, "What training? It's so ugly to say."
But Ye Qingyan couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth at all. She smiled and said, "That little man, it can only be said that he is worthy of being a descendant of Senior Gu. He is like a piece of wood. He has been together for more than two hundred years, and there is a beautiful woman in his divine sea, but he doesn't take the initiative to talk to me. I need to remind him every time. But it's better now. He actually told me that he would take me shopping."
When Ye Qingyan spoke, her face was full of smiles, and she was easily taken down by the White Tiger Demon Emperor because she was not focused.
"Today's five to five tie, great. I'm going to deal with affairs.", The White Tiger Demon Emperor got up, patted her butt, and walked away with a smile.
Ye Qingyan looked at the five white pieces lined up on the chessboard and was stunned.
"Good you White Tiger Sister, you actually used Gu Xichao to distract me. It doesn't count, this one doesn't count, let's do it again."
"No, no, I'm really busy. On the Danqing Great World side, it seems that new power has been injected, and the pressure is quite high.", The White Tiger Demon Emperor ran away quickly.
"Do you need me to go?" Ye Qingyan also became serious.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor shook her head and said, "Now with the help of Qingyang Daozu, the pressure is still within the scope of control. It's just that as more and more Immortal Kings die on both sides, the other side will soon send Immortal Venerables."
"Immortal Venerable?"
Ye Qingyan frowned slightly. Immortal Venerable is the strongest creature under the Immortal Emperor and cannot be stopped by Immortal Kings. The Danqing Realm was originally a great world with an Immortal Emperor sitting in it, and its foundation is much stronger than the world without an Immortal Emperor. The number of Immortal Kings alone is comparable to five great worlds on the other side.
But these five great worlds are not directly under the Immortal Emperor, but only one of the great worlds they control. If they use the great world directly under them, then the Danqing Realm cannot resist it at all.
Even if the opposing Immortal Emperor didn't act, the number of Immortal Venerables alone would surely be no fewer than ten.
Ten Immortal Venerables, with Emperor Lan and the others restrained, would be enough to slaughter all living beings in the Danqing Realm in just a few breaths.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, both of them sensed an uninvited guest arriving outside.
"I have come uninvited, please do not be offended," a mature and gentle voice sounded.
White Tiger Demon Emperor and Ye Qingyan walked out and saw a palace-dressed woman standing there.
"Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable!"
The two women looked at the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable in surprise.
Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable smiled and said, "I have always been grateful to Mother Earth for resurrecting me, but because I owed my daughters too much, I have been by their side for the past few thousand years. Now that I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother, it is time to repay my gratitude."
(Today, something happened at a relative's house, and I went to help. I only got back very late. There will only be one update tonight, but it's still four thousand words. I'm a little tired, so I'll rest first.)
