Time rewinds to a few days ago!
To the nearest ancient life star to North Dipper Star, Ganges Ancient Star.
Although the two ancient life stars are geographically closest in the universe, they are separated by three lifeless star fields. If a Saint-level expert were to cross the universe with their physical body alone, it would take at least a hundred years to reach North Dipper Star from Ganges Ancient Star. Even a peak Quasi-Emperor expert would need seven or eight days. Only a Great Emperor-level expert could freely travel in the universe.
Don't you see how the Golden Ancient Emperor could quickly return every time Gu Changsheng kicked him to the edge of the universe.
Of course, this is also because the current Mortal Realm is very small, so small that it is not even comparable to a continent of other great worlds.
After all, the current Mortal Realm is just a fragment of the original Mortal Realm, and the other fragments have been assimilated by Chaos.
Back to the main topic,
Ganges Ancient Star, Azure Ripple Sect!
The strongest person in the Azure Ripple Sect, Yan Chuan, was spending a romantic evening with his wife, Gu Tong. Don't get the wrong idea, Gu Tong was just nestled in Yan Chuan's arms, and the two were admiring the moon under the bright moonlight.
Just then, Yan Chuan frowned slightly. Gu Tong felt the change in her husband's emotions, and her red lips parted slightly as she asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Yan Chuan shook his head. "It must be an illusion."
"An illusion?" Gu Tong left Yan Chuan's body. She turned her head to look at Yan Chuan and said, "With your cultivation, how could you have an illusion?"
Yan Chuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Yes, with his cultivation at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, he shouldn't have an illusion.
So Yan Chuan took out a communication jade slip. This communication jade slip was emitting a faint light, flashing as if someone was talking.
"This communication jade slip is connected to the communication jade slip on Dan Dan's body. Originally, I was thinking that if they couldn't survive in the Ancient Starry Sky Road one day, I would let Dan Dan send me a message, and I could pick them up. But you also know that after His Majesty the Holy Emperor returned, the Ancient Starry Sky Road was moved by His Majesty the Holy Emperor to an unknown place. Anyway, it's no longer in the Mortal Realm. Logically speaking, Dan Dan's communication jade slip should be useless. It's strange that it's reacting now."
Yan Chuan explained, looking at the communication jade slip.
Gu Tong also looked puzzled, but she still said, "Let's take a look first, regardless of whether there is a problem or not."
Yan Chuan nodded, then waved his hand gently, and Yan Dandan's voice came from the communication jade slip.
"Dad, Mom, come to North Dipper Star and take my senior brother and me back!"
Yan Chuan and Gu Tong looked at each other.
"Could this be a scam?" Gu Tong said in a strange tone.
"I don't know, but isn't this scammer too stupid? His Majesty the Holy Emperor has explicitly forbidden us from approaching North Dipper Star. This scammer is actually pretending to be our daughter to trick us into going to North Dipper Star."
Yan Chuan was also a little confused. Outside of North Dipper Star, the entire universe knew that North Dipper Star had now been designated as a forbidden area by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, prohibiting anyone or any force from approaching. This scammer actually wanted to trick them into going to North Dipper Star. They must be tired of living.
Wait, tired of living?
The two instantly thought of something. They looked at each other, and Gu Tong said, "Could it be that our enemies are using Dan Dan's name to trick me into going to North Dipper Star, and then use His Majesty the Holy Emperor's ban to wipe us out in one fell swoop?"
Yan Chuan narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not impossible."
However, Gu Tong changed her tone and said something completely opposite to what she had just said.
"What if it's really Dan Dan?" Gu Tong asked.
"This…"
Yan Chuan pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Wife, you've said everything, what else can I say?"
"This… after all, there has never been a case of using a communication jade slip to deceive people before. Besides, this communication jade slip was refined by you. It can ignore your restrictions and transmit messages through the communication jade slip. There seems to be no need to deceive us, right?"
Gu Tong continued.
"So, we have to go to North Dipper Star!" Yan Chuan said.
"We can't be so hasty. We have to think it over carefully."
"…" Yan Chuan.
In the end, after some discussion, the two decided to ask the Holy Emperor Palace for instructions first!
So the couple used the sect's teleportation array to set off for Heavenly Desolate Star.
Three days later, Yan Chuan and Gu Tong arrived at the location of the Holy Emperor Palace on Heavenly Desolate Star. The one leading them was Gu Wei, the head of the Gu family. Now, Gu Wei is not only the head of the Gu family, but also the general manager of the Holy Emperor Palace, in charge of all foreign affairs.
"Two fellow Daoists, this way please!"
Gu Wei smiled and led Yan Chuan and Gu Tong.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Gu!" Yan Chuan smiled.
Then the couple curiously looked at the twelve inheritance temples surrounding the Holy Emperor Palace. This was their first time visiting the Holy Emperor Palace. They did not participate in the previous Demon Extermination War because they were in closed-door cultivation of a technique that only the two of them could cultivate. Gu Changsheng naturally wouldn't disturb the couple's closed-door cultivation; he wasn't that clueless.
Yan Chuan and Gu Tong kept exclaiming in surprise, completely unlike a peak Quasi-Emperor and a peak Saint King, but rather like two villagers who had just entered the city. They had also been to Heavenly Desolate Star before, but at that time, Saints were rare and Great Emperors didn't appear. At that time, he was high-spirited. After all, he had already achieved the position of Quasi-Emperor and forged an invincible Dao heart.
It should have been him who would shine brightly in this era, and it wasn't impossible for him to even become an Emperor.
But he was unfortunate and also fortunate.
Unfortunately, he encountered His Majesty the Holy Emperor's birth when he was in his prime. Not only that, but under His Majesty the Holy Emperor, there was also the Earth Goddess and many True Immortal experts. At that time, a True Immortal expert descended on Ganges Ancient Star and made all the forces of Ganges Ancient Star submit to the Holy Emperor Palace. The confident Yan Chuan agreed, but he also made a request. He made a request to that True Immortal expert to spar.
That True Immortal expert wasn't annoyed, but readily agreed.
The confident Yan Chuan launched the strongest technique and divine power, but it was scattered by a single glance from that True Immortal expert. Seeing this, it was false to say that Yan Chuan's heart wasn't affected. However, he was able to cultivate to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm in this era, and his Dao heart was extremely firm. After losing, he generously announced that the Azure Ripple Sect would submit.
It's just that from then on, his arrogance was restrained, and his aura became more profound, like old wine that needed to be aged, waiting for the day when the fragrance of the wine would fill the world.
At the same time, he was also lucky.
In the past, the ultimate goal of cultivators was only to become an Emperor. As for becoming an immortal, that was illusory. But he was born in this golden age. His Majesty the Holy Emperor, the Earth Goddess, and those True Immortal experts all gave him a clear cultivation goal, giving him greater motivation in his heart. Becoming an Emperor was just his next realm. He set a small goal for himself, which was to become an immortal!
He knew that the True Immortal experts of the Holy Emperor Palace were all ancient people. He wanted to become the first person in the present to become an immortal!
This was his ambition!
"Two fellow Daoists, we're here. Please go in!"
At this time, Gu Wei had already brought the two to the gate of the Holy Emperor Palace. The gate was open, but nothing inside the gate could be seen from the outside. Inside the gate, it was as if there was a boundless world, terrifyingly deep.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Gu!"
The couple expressed their gratitude to Gu Wei, and then stepped into the Holy Emperor Palace with lofty respect!
