660: The storm is coming in the starry sky

A wisp of light smoke drifted out, forming a gradually clearer image, seemingly on a desolate dead star.

The ancient Elder with a weathered face opened his eyes.

“Are you ready to make a move?” the ancient Elder said indifferently.

Guan Tiangang respectfully said, “Old Ancestor, things have changed.”

“Sect Master Sect Master Ren Xuming found a mysterious person who killed Guan Yi, and your arrival may have to be postponed.”

The ancient Elder was none other than the Guan Family's Quasi-Emperor Old Ancestor, Grand Ancestor Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan, who was still alive in the Beidou Star Sea!

Grand Ancestor Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan frowned and snorted coldly, “Ancient and Modern Mansion, Sect Master Sect Master Ren Xuming… it seems they have seen through our intentions.”

“If it weren't for the Ancient and Modern Mansion's supreme emperor weapon, I would have long been able to perform a heaven-defying act and truly dominate the Ancient and Modern Mansion!”

Guan Tiangang sighed, “Yes, Sect Master Sect Master Ren Xuming controls the Xuanyuan Sword, it's very difficult to deal with him.”

Not to mention the numerous grand Formations within the Ancient and Modern Mansion, which contain many methods arranged by Great Emperors of the past, available for the Ancient and Modern Mansion to use.

The Guan Family had long since fallen, and even if they had once been glorious, they were not a Great Emperor Family and had no supreme emperor weapon to contend with the Xuanyuan Sword.

However, the Guan Family possessed a grand Formation, an absolute secret, originating from a dilapidated Daoist tradition inheritance obtained within the Beidou Star Sea!

Using that Formation, they could seize control of an supreme emperor weapon!

But it would require at least a Quasi-Emperor to operate, and it could only be maintained for one hour.

This meant that once it began, they had to seize the supreme emperor weapon Xuanyuan Sword within half an hour, suppress it, and even kill Sect Master Sect Master Ren Xuming, to completely dominate the entire Ancient and Modern Mansion!

And for this, the Guan Family's Old Ancestor, Grand Ancestor Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan, who was far away in the Beidou Star Sea, had to return.

Originally, by using a forbidden secret art of destiny, with Guan Yi as the vessel, Grand Ancestor Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan's power could be borne, reaching the Quasi-Emperor level, equivalent to possessing and descending.

However, Guan Yi, the favored son of heaven who had the highest destiny of the Guan Family, all concentrated on him, was killed!

As a result, the plan of possessing and descending came to an end and could not be implemented; only Grand Ancestor Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan could come in person.

“Within half a month, I will cross over by teleportation array.”

“The rest will proceed according to the original plan.”

Grand Ancestor Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan said.

“Yes!”

Guan Tiangang's heart was filled with excitement; this time, when the Old Ancestor returned, the Ancient and Modern Mansion would surely be controlled by his Guan Family, not only allowing them to possess the resources of the Ancient and Modern Mansion and control the supreme emperor weapon Xuanyuan Sword, but also enabling them to take revenge on their former enemies!

…

The Cultivators of the Xuanhuang Star Region, however, were unaware that a crisis was about to arrive.

“It's truly desolate, as expected of a star region at the edge of the Starry Sky.”

Starships emitting a cold aura were traversing the Starry Sky, this was a fleet of space pirates!

The Mad Blood God Slayer!

“Boss, ahead is the second and third-rate star region area on the first section of the Starry Sky Ancient Road.”

“How much longer until we reach the Xuanhuang Star Region?”

Yuan Tu, the captain at the Quasi-Emperor Realm of One Tribulation, asked indifferently.

“About a few days' journey!”

Yuan Tu narrowed his eyes and grabbed Bloodfiend Old Ancestor, “Has your star appeared?”

He was naturally referring to the Ancestor Star Origin Star.

After all, according to Bloodfiend Old Ancestor's memory, they entered through a hidden Starry Sky Ancient Road opening of the Tai Xuan Holy Land, and at that time, Origin Star was isolated from the Vast Sky!

This meant that there were no coordinates, and no one could find where Origin Star was.

Yuan Tu led his pirate crew, naturally for Origin Star, as for the Xuanhuang Star Region, or the Ancient and Modern Mansion, he had no interest in the former, it was too weak and barren, and he couldn't touch the latter because the Ancient and Modern Mansion had an supreme emperor weapon.

But if Origin Star had not yet appeared and was still in a hidden state, his coming would be in vain.

Bloodfiend Old Ancestor, whose soul was damaged after being soul-searched, and the other Cultivators of the Demon Arts Inheritor forces, all looked dispirited and in extremely poor condition, probably with no potential for future Breakthroughs.

Bloodfiend Old Ancestor stammered, “It… it should have already appeared…”

Hmph!

Yuan Tu said coldly, “If I can't find it, I'll chop off your head and kick it around like a ball!”

Everyone fears death, and Cultivators of the Demon Arts Inheritor forces like Bloodfiend Old Ancestor are even more so; they have no hometown complex and are unwilling to protect Origin Star, that's impossible.

Instead, after being soul-searched and experiencing the pain and fear of death, they desired to live even more.

A total of seventeen warships of the Mad Blood God Slayer Interstellar Pirate Group formed an invincible warship that could sweep across a star region and traverse the vast Starry Sky.

In the first section of the Starry Sky Ancient Road, outside the Star Sea, such a lineup could sweep across second and third-tier star regions!

Even the upper-tier star regions in the third tier, such as the Feiyu Star Region, had only a few Quasi-Emperors, generally no more than five, and they had little hope or potential; unless they encountered a great Opportunity, it would be impossible for them to advance further, and their cultivation levels were all at the Quasi-Emperor of One Tribulation.

And with the strength of Yuan Tu's fleet, a Quasi-Emperor of One Tribulation could not stop them; each warship had powerful artillery array attacks, and the seventeen warships could even form a combined attack array.

Releasing attacks together, they could easily flatten and destroy a large number of life stars!

A Quasi-Emperor of One Tribulation would be severely wounded or dying even if they tried to resist head-on.

A Quasi-Emperor of Two Tribulations could withstand it, but if it was head-on, they would still suffer heavy injuries!

Only a Quasi-Emperor of Three Tribulations could handle it with ease.

However, if a Quasi-Emperor of Three Tribulations appeared, even the Mad Blood God Slayer Interstellar Pirate Group would avoid them and not be foolish enough to get entangled with a Quasi-Emperor of Three Tribulations.

The second-tier star regions only had more Quasi-Emperors, and they were basically all Quasi-Emperors of One Tribulation.

If there was a Quasi-Emperor of Two Tribulations, then the other party would not stay in the star region, but would go to the Star Sea where countless stars gathered!

“If I find that Ancestor Star, with so many Great Emperor inheritances, supreme emperor weapons…”

Yuan Tu couldn't help but start fantasizing, but he also knew that forces with supreme emperor weapons were not easy to deal with, so he would adopt a strategy of first coercing and enticing one of the forces with an supreme emperor weapon, and then joining forces with them to defeat the others one by one.

“Hehe, in the Vast Sky, possessing an supreme emperor weapon can make one as stable as a mountain and act without restraint, not to mention so many of them; perhaps this is truly an Opportunity for my Mad Blood God Slayer Interstellar Pirate Group!”

In fact, Yuan Tu wanted to monopolize it and then establish his own sect.

But he also understood that the mystery of that Ancestor Star was probably not something he could easily take; this time, he mainly came to explore first and then decide based on the situation.

…

Origin Star.

“Everyone's gone.”

“Yes, the younger generation who should leave have all left; the vast Starry Sky is their destination.”

“Fortunately, our Origin Star has also recovered, hehe, I didn't expect that there's an Old Ancestor buried in my ancestral land who has already awakened!”

“What Old Ancestor? What Realm?”

“Void God!”

As the young Cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness, Central Province, Endless Sea, Western Desert, Northern Plains, and Southern Border successively left, Origin Star entered a relatively peaceful environment.

But there was still a new generation rising!

Only the older generation, on the other hand, had fallen silent, either peacefully cultivating in seclusion, taking advantage of the world's recovery to try and break through Bottlenecks, or going to seek opportunities in those awakened places.

However, in some Daoist traditions, even more hidden secrets emerged.

It was not uncommon for Old Ancestors from historical records to awaken and appear, astonishing a group of their descendants.
