During this time, Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu thoroughly integrated with Li Beifei and his group, becoming well-acquainted with each other.
When the others learned that Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu were from other worlds, they became very curious about what worlds with complete Great Dao origins were like. Whenever this topic came up, Li Beifei would always proudly raise his head, believing he had rich experience in this area, having visited several major worlds, and was qualified to be arrogant.
But he was quickly brought down to earth by Mu Qingyi, who tugged on his ear to lower his proud head. He wasn't annoyed, but instead winked and grinned at Mu Qingyi, making Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu once again marvel at the thickness of their Second Senior Brother's skin, no wonder he was often beaten but never disfigured.
However, everyone now had a more complete concept of worlds with complete Great Dao origins. Even the Great Emperor and Ancient Emperor realms they yearned for were only capable of being leaders of third-rate forces. Without reaching the True Immortal realm, they couldn't even leave a corner of the world. Even True Immortals were just insignificant members of the younger generation in those super forces.
After learning this information from Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu, it not only didn't discourage them but instead strengthened their Dao hearts.
Because they had a role model.
The Human Race's Holy Emperor, Senior Gu!
Senior Gu had only spent a million years to surpass all beings in the myriad worlds, reaching an unprecedented realm. Although they didn't think they could become the second Senior Gu, Senior Gu could be their role model.
"I really want to achieve enlightenment quickly and compete with the geniuses of the myriad worlds!"
This was their heartfelt desire at the moment.
However, they also understood the principle that haste makes waste. They had only just entered the Saint Realm, and even Lu Chengfeng was only in the Saint King Realm, still far from the time to achieve enlightenment as a Supreme. Only by taking steady steps could they achieve enlightenment at the fastest speed.
With hopeful hearts, everyone entered a state of closed-door cultivation.
By the time everyone emerged from their seclusion, eight months had passed.
On this day, the group arrived at a towering sacred mountain. The cliffs of this sacred mountain were covered with knife marks and spear shadows, these marks were very ancient, obviously left from the Primordial Era.
Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu had already told the others about the Heavenly Pool Holy Palace, and everyone was incredibly curious about it, except for Duan Fei, who was filled with excitement.
"Brother Duan, don't be too excited. What if the Heavenly Pool Holy Palace doesn't have Cold Heavy Water? You'll be disappointed?" Xuan Mingzi patted Duan Fei's shoulder and said.
As soon as Xuan Mingzi finished speaking, everyone looked at him with strange eyes, especially Li Beifei, Bai Yifei, Xia Wuji, and Li Ruoyu.
"Uh… don't look at me like that, okay? I'll get shy!" Xuan Mingzi's pretentious appearance almost made everyone throw up.
Bai Yifei glared at him and said, "Xuan Mingzi, don't you know you have the potential to be a jinx?"
Li Beifei and the others nodded in agreement. They had personally experienced Xuan Mingzi's jinxing ability, commonly known as 'good things don't come true, but bad things do.' Although they all knew that Xuan Mingzi wanted to give Duan Fei a heads-up to lower his expectations, the flavor completely changed when it came out of his mouth.
Duan Fei glared at Xuan Mingzi and said, "This is an opportunity to change Little Xue's fate against the heavens, you can't use your powers!"
"It's not that mystical…" Xuan Mingzi retorted in a low voice, obviously lacking confidence.
Everyone laughed.
"The sun seems a bit strange today!"
Ye Hongyi said at this moment.
"It's brighter than yesterday!"
The usually silent Lin Tian rarely spoke, surprising Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu. Since they met, Lin Tian had only said "Hello" to them and had no further interaction.
But they didn't mind, especially Gu Huaiyu. She had seen Lin Tian before, and even the Master hadn't said many words to him. Lin Tian being able to say "Hello" to them meant that he already regarded them as friends.
"Lin Tian, do you sense anything?" Gu Xiruo asked.
Seeing Gu Xiruo ask, Lin Tian nodded, and he became more talkative.
"My body feels the changes in the sun. It's very happy now, as if it's welcoming an old friend," Lin Tian narrated.
"So mystical?" Xuan Mingzi was hung up on the word "mystical."
At this moment, Bai Yifei said, "Lin Tian is a Solar Holy Body, so it's normal for him to sense the changes in the sun. It seems Jiu'er and I didn't miscalculate. Today is the day of the Nine Stars Alignment."
"Welcoming an old friend, does that mean it's going to draw the other eight stars to form the Nine Stars Alignment?" Li Beifei stroked his chin and said.
"That's the only possibility," Bai Yifei nodded.
"The inscription says that when the Nine Stars Alignment appears, it will be when the Heavenly Pool Holy Palace is born. At that time, it will probably attract the attention of all forces in the universe. Immortal forces will descend. Can we snatch the treasures?"
Xuan Mingzi said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately shut his mouth, because Li Beifei and the others were looking at him with murderous eyes.
"Xuan Mingzi, we wouldn't forget you even if you didn't speak. Can you say fewer unlucky things?" Li Beifei glared at Xuan Mingzi. How poor was he right now?
Let's put it this way, everyone on the street would look at him when he walked by.
Because he was broke!
Of course, that's an exaggeration, but he was the poorest among them, even his two disciples and Yang Fan had more Source Crystals than him.
He couldn't possibly ask his disciples for money, could he? How embarrassing would that be!
And Duan Fei had spent the sect's century-long accumulation to support him this time, and he was too embarrassed to withdraw Source Crystals from the sect. After all, the sect needed to develop, and the resources required were immeasurable. He couldn't let the sect fall into a Source Crystal shortage crisis because of him.
So, after learning about the Heavenly Pool Holy Palace, he regarded this as an opportunity to get rich and couldn't allow any mistakes.
"Cough cough… Boss…"
"Shut up!" Li Beifei said.
Xuan Mingzi shut up decisively.
"Buzz…"
Suddenly, a slight vibration came from the space, so slight that only cultivators above the Saint Realm could feel it.
Everyone looked up at the sky, only to feel that the sun's light suddenly dimmed. To be precise, it wasn't dimming, but because other dazzling lights had appeared, preventing it from being the only star in the sky, giving people a sense of dimming.
Suddenly, a second sun appeared in the sky, followed by a third…
This was without warning. The beings of Heavenly Pool Ancient Star didn't know why this change was happening. They stared blankly at the sky.
The Nine Stars Alignment wasn't nine stars, but nine suns!
