"Woof woof, where is this?"
In the starry sky, on an invisible road, a large black dog scurried around, looking at the surrounding cosmic scenery.
Meteorites, celestial bodies devoid of life, and the colors of the universe within sight—the space beneath the stars wasn't entirely dark. At least, Li Beifei found this stretch of road filled with fantastic and dazzling light.
The big black dog was naturally Black Dragon, who had been kept in Li Beifei's special internal space. Li Wangba, on the other hand, was perched on Li Beifei's shoulder, his beady eyes looking around, seemingly lost in thought.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have rushed in to show off." This was Li Beifei's thought at the moment. He calculated that three days had passed since he charged into the Starry Sky Ancient Road at the Human Dao Academy. For three days, he had been walking alone on this Starry Sky Ancient Road that seemed to stretch endlessly. Fortunately, he had a dog and a turtle to keep him company, or he would have been bored to death.
He had also learned from Lao Liu that the Starry Sky Ancient Road was divided into ninety-nine eighty-one levels, each set on a large star, and the number of levels varied. The first level had eighty-one large stars, the second level had eighty stars, the third level had seventy-nine large stars, and so on, decreasing until the last level, where everyone gathered together.
The humans, demons, or other ancient races who entered the Starry Sky Ancient Road would be randomly assigned to the ancient roads leading to different large stars. Talents from the same starfield might encounter acquaintances if they were lucky, or people from other starfields if they were unlucky, leading to great battles. And if they were very, very unlucky, they would end up like Li Beifei.
He hadn't encountered a single soul in three days.
"I wonder how Qingyi is doing now." A look of worry appeared on Li Beifei's face. Although he knew that Mu Qingyi was strong—even he would have to use eighty percent of his strength to defeat her now—he couldn't help but worry about her due to his personal feelings, even if she was stronger than him.
"Woof woof, Master Dragon has decided to leave his mark here!"
At this moment, the big black dog walking in front suddenly barked. Under the strange gazes of Li Beifei and Li Wangba, it walked to the edge of the ancient road, lifted a hind leg, and brazenly urinated in front of them.
"Damn it, you dead dog, you have no manners!" Li Wangba cursed.
"Disgraceful, truly disgraceful." Even Li Beifei, whose face could withstand Gu Changsheng's slaps, felt his face burning with shame.
"You wouldn't understand. What Master Dragon is excreting is dragon urine. Don't compare it to those filthy things of the mortal realm. No, it's not obvious enough. I have to leave Master Dragon's name behind."
With that, Black Dragon wrote the words "Black Dragon was here." Seeing this, Li Beifei quickened his pace, not wanting to stay with this dog. It was too embarrassing.
The big black dog proudly looked at the marks it had left behind, and followed contentedly.
Two days later, four figures passed through the ancient road that Li Beifei had walked, and discovered the traces left by Black Dragon...
These four figures were enchantingly graceful, with aloof faces, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance. What was amazing was that the four women had identical faces, and their cultivation was surprisingly at the first level of Nirvana Realm. Without a doubt, these were quadruplets, even rarer than twins, and they were quadruplet sisters.
"Black Dragon was here? Dragon?" The youngest of the quadruplets wrinkled her nose. She couldn't sense any oppressive aura from the traces, but instead smelled a strange odor.
"This is... excrement!"
At this moment, the eldest of the four said softly, her voice filled with strangeness. She really didn't expect that on the sacred Starry Sky Ancient Road, something would dare to leave excrement.
The youngest sister's heart trembled, and her face was very ugly, because she had just taken a few breaths of air.
"Eldest sister, there are a few hairs here." At this moment, the second oldest sister picked up a few black hairs, which made the youngest sister's face turn icy cold.
"Give them to me. I want to see who dares to trick me like this!" Without saying a word, the youngest sister snatched the hairs, and with her other hand, she formed a profound magic seal. Immediately, a glimmer of light fell on the hairs, and the hairs floated up, suddenly flying forward. Seeing this, the youngest sister immediately followed.
"Youngest sister..."
The eldest sister called out, but the youngest sister's speed was very fast, like a snake swimming in water, extremely agile.
"Let's follow!" The eldest sister said helplessly, and then followed with the remaining two sisters. Their speed was equally astonishingly fast.
After two days of travel, Li Beifei and his companions finally set foot on the first level of the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
Vast Star, this was the name of the first level large star that Li Beifei stepped onto.
Vast Star was different from Heavenly Wasteland Star and Northern Dipper Star. Vast Star didn't have so many cities. It only had one majestic city, called Vast City. It was clear that Vast Star was named after this large city.
The combination of a person, a dog, and a turtle, which seemed extremely strange in Heavenly Wasteland Star, became very ordinary after arriving at Vast City.
Walking on the streets of Vast City, they could see rare and exotic beasts everywhere. Even the ancient desolate species that had become extinct in Heavenly Wasteland Star could be seen here, and powerful auras could be encountered everywhere.
Li Beifei decided to find a place to stay first. Being unfamiliar with the place, inns were the easiest places to obtain information.
Walking along, Li Beifei encountered a familiar name again: Drunken Immortal Inn!
"It's even in the checkpoint city of the Starry Sky Ancient Road. It's outrageous!" Li Beifei complained, but he still honestly went in. Drunken Immortal Inn was, if nothing else, definitely the safest.
After entering the Drunken Immortal Inn, Li Beifei discreetly booked a superior room and then went to the hall to gather information.
Although Vast City was a checkpoint city of the Starry Sky Ancient Road, the largest population was still the local natives. They obviously knew that the Starry Sky Ancient Road was open, so the topics they discussed were all centered around the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
"Have you heard? Gu Chenxing of the Gu family suppressed and killed a Nirvana Realm ninth-level Flood Dragon in the Desert Sea yesterday."
"My God, didn't he just break through to the Nirvana Realm? That Flood Dragon in the Desert Sea has been famous for thousands of years. How could he be a match?"
"You're asking me? Who should I ask? If I knew the reason, would I still be here drinking with you? I would have made a name for myself long ago. We don't understand the affairs of geniuses!"
"Is there more? Is there more?"
"There is, but I didn't bring Origin Crystals when I went out today, so you see..."
"Hey, what are you saying? I'll treat you to this drink today."
...
Li Beifei sat in the corner, seemingly enjoying the wine, but he was constantly gathering intelligence information. Soon, he had a rough understanding of Vast Star.
But he was very disappointed, because he didn't hear any information about the people from Heavenly Wasteland Star, which made him very depressed.
