A star-like, enormous warship quietly traversed the cosmos at an unbelievable speed, guided by the coordinates of the Celestial Desolation Star.
Its hull was covered with dense arrays of inscriptions; the warship's power source was no longer source crystals but various energy rays from the universe. The array inscriptions on the hull were the result of Duan Fei's research over the years, called the Gathering Heaven Array.
Gathering the power of heaven and earth to roam without end!
Therefore, this warship was named the Gathering Heaven Warship. The massive Seven Stars Sword Sect could only forge three of them, and Duan Fei had used them all to support Li Beifei before.
The Gathering Heaven Warship's speed in the starry sky was comparable to a quasi-Emperor realm expert's full-speed flight, hundreds of times faster than the speed of sunlight. Even though the distance between Celestial Desolation Star and Celestial Pool Ancient Star was almost half the universe, the Gathering Heaven Warship could cover it in just two years at full speed.
If Li Beifei and the others were to cross the starry sky with their physical bodies, it would probably take hundreds of years to return to Celestial Desolation Star.
And two years, for mortals, was a 'two-year plan,' enough to make decisions that would determine their future. But for cultivators with high cultivation, two years was just a short period of closed-door cultivation.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye!
When the Gathering Heaven Warship approached Celestial Desolation Star, it was blocked by three figures with extremely profound auras. Li Beifei and the others were shocked because they could faintly feel their presence. These three were all in the Return to One realm, or quasi-Emperor realm in the old Red Dust World.
"Who comes, and why do you come to the Holy Emperor Star!"
Among the three, the leader was a tall woman. She wore a suit of armor, standing proudly in the void like a female war god. Her words broke the natural law that 'vacuum cannot transmit sound,' allowing Li Beifei and the others in the warship to hear clearly.
"Holy Emperor Star?"
Everyone's expression flickered slightly upon hearing this. Others were fine, but Li Beifei's expression was incredibly colorful.
"So flashy!"
Li Beifei muttered.
"Pa!"
A large hand appeared and landed on his head.
Gu Changsheng sneered, "Do you think your teacher is air?"
Li Beifei shrank his neck in fright. The last time he was beaten was two years ago. As the saying goes, scars heal and one forgets the pain. He thought he was strong again.
The others secretly laughed when they saw this. Mu Qingyi even glared at Li Beifei reproachfully. When Li Beifei saw that his wife was angry, he quickly smiled apologetically.
"Master, to avoid more trouble, I think you should take the lead," Li Beifei said.
Gu Changsheng looked at this rebellious disciple. How could such normal words sound so cheap coming from his mouth?
Gu Changsheng didn't know when Celestial Desolation Star became Holy Emperor Star, but the name wasn't really changed, otherwise the universe would have been in an uproar. Obviously, this was just a symbolic meaning, an expression of reverence for him, the Holy Emperor.
But... Holy Emperor Star, not bad, not bad. I'll find out who suggested it when I get back and reward them well.
"You all step back!"
Gu Changsheng said softly.
The three quasi-Emperor realm experts responsible for patrolling this area all trembled. They suddenly knelt in the void and said in unison, "Greetings, Holy Emperor!"
"Mm!"
Gu Changsheng accepted their grand salute with composure.
"Don't publicize my return," Gu Changsheng said.
"Yes!"
The three responded respectfully.
The Gathering Heaven Warship slowly passed through the star path and entered the Celestial Desolation Star's territory. The three were still kneeling in the starry sky, quietly watching the warship until it completely disappeared from their sight before they stood up.
"Big sister, did we really meet the Holy Emperor?"
The youngest of the three men said.
"Huh?" The woman glared at him.
Another man quickly said, "Don't be angry, big sister. Third brother means, are we dreaming? We actually met the Holy Emperor."
The woman's expression softened upon hearing this. She said, "I was fortunate enough to participate in the Demon Extinguishing War a thousand years ago. The Holy Emperor issued an oral decree at that time, which I still remember vividly. The one who spoke to us just now was definitely the Holy Emperor. Moreover, who would dare to impersonate the Holy Emperor?"
The two men nodded repeatedly, "Big sister is right."
At this time, the third brother said, "Hehe, being able to meet the Holy Emperor is a great honor for us. I'll go back and tell the kids in our Silver Ancient Clan, I guarantee they'll be ecstatic."
The woman glared at him again and said, "Don't mess around. The Holy Emperor said just now not to publicize it."
"Big sister, I'm just imagining it, I won't publicize it," the third brother said with a wry smile.
"Who knows if you'll talk nonsense after drinking. I'll punish you for not touching alcohol for ten years," the woman said seriously.
"Ah..." The third brother suddenly became despondent. He quickly said to the man beside him, "Second brother, please intercede for me, I'll go crazy if I don't drink."
Upon hearing this, the man was just about to plead for his brother when the woman said, "If you dare to intercede, you won't be able to touch tea for ten years either."
The man instantly shut his mouth.
They came from the Silver Ancient Clan. As the name suggests, they were related to the Gold Ancient Clan. In fact, they were indeed related to the Gold Ancient Clan, and the three of them were siblings. All three had extremely powerful talents and had achieved the quasi-Emperor realm.
But the three of them had their own hobbies. The third brother was addicted to alcohol, while the second brother liked to taste tea. And their eldest sister, the serious woman like a war god in front of them, liked flower arrangement.
It was very contrasting. In order to maintain the dignity of being the Silver Ancient Clan's leader, even the clan's experts didn't know that the eldest sister had this hobby.
...
"They don't seem to be human," Ye Hongyi said on the warship.
"Miss, they are from the Silver Ancient Clan," the Heavenly Peng Ancient Royal Son said.
"Silver Ancient Clan?"
Ye Hongyi was stunned. The others were also puzzled, except for the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter, who was also from an ancient clan, who said, "The Silver Ancient Clan is a very low-key clan among the ancient clans, just like the hidden sects or families of the human race. There are few records in ancient books."
"However, I heard that the Silver Ancient Clan seems to be related to the Gold Ancient Clan. I don't know the specifics."
"Gold and silver, why not come up with a bronze?" Li Beifei complained.
"You brat!" Gu Changsheng slapped him again.
"Ouch, Master, why are you hitting me again?" Li Beifei looked at Gu Changsheng resentfully.
"The Silver Ancient Clan is the Gold Ancient Emperor's wife's family. The Gold Ancient Emperor's wife was the leader of the Silver Ancient Clan millions of years ago," Gu Changsheng said.
"So that's how it is!"
The Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter also completely understood the relationship between the Gold Ancient Clan and the Silver Ancient Clan after hearing this.
"Speaking of which, the Gold Ancient Emperor is too ruthless. I saw the Gold Ancient Royal Son in the Celestial Pool Great Swamp that day, and his state is that he still doesn't know that his father is still alive."
Li Beifei said.
That day, Lin Tian and Gu Xichao, whose identity had not yet been revealed, had a duel. The Gold Ancient Royal Son and the Ziwei Holy Son both appeared, and the Ziwei Holy Son still believed that the Gold Ancient Royal Son had designed to steal the Immortal Green Gold and had been chasing the Gold Ancient Royal Son.
The Gold Ancient Royal Son may have been retreating because he was afraid of the Ziwei Holy Son's identity as a human, after all, he didn't know the news that his father, the Gold Ancient Emperor, was still alive, but the whole universe knew that the Holy Emperor was still alive.
It was normal for him to be afraid.
"Oh, speaking of which, Master, the way you and Senior Gold Ancient Emperor treat your own sons is exactly the same. You are both feigning death and hiding, and you are still figures of the same era. Did the Gold Ancient Emperor learn from you?"
Li Beifei forgot that he had been beaten just now and asked Gu Changsheng curiously.
"Get out!"
Gu Changsheng kicked him out of the warship.
The others shook their heads helplessly. After the warship stopped, they said goodbye to Gu Changsheng one after another and went back to their respective homes to find their mothers!
And Li Beifei naturally went back with Mu Qingyi. This time, he was going to formally propose marriage to the Mu family, so he couldn't be careless.
