680: The night before the battle with Guan Canglan

“Xuanhuang Star Region!”

The Old Ancestor of the Guan family calmly stepped into this star area, which was incomparably remote and barren compared to the North Dipper Star Sea.

As a Three Tribulation Quasi-Emperor, he had no rivals here and could take his time.

If the Ancient and Modern Mansion did not have an supreme emperor weapon guarding it, he could directly take control of the Ancient and Modern Mansion with the Guan family.

He traveled through the vast star region, rushing towards Yaoyue Star at extreme speed.

At this moment, on Yaoyue Star, in the Ancient and Modern Mansion.

Chu Ying’s gaze was calm and indifferent; he knew that the Guan family’s Old Ancestor, Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan, was coming.

The Three Tribulation Quasi-Emperor Realm was extremely powerful, basically the strongest he had encountered apart from Nine Curves Demon Emperor.

As for the ten Quasi-Emperors from the Heavens, although their Realm was higher than the Guan family’s Old Ancestor, due to the restrictions of Origin Star’s heaven and earth, they couldn’t even unleash the combat power of the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

Today, with a different environment, the pressure Chu Ying faced was naturally different.

“Heavenly Venerate Realm mid-stage, one hundred thousandth of the Sword Dao Core, Dou Zi Magic Verse, Unique True Self Limitless Cave Heaven world…”

Chu Ying murmured, calculating his combat power, unsure if he could deal with a Three Tribulation Quasi-Emperor.

But then again, he had the Biluo Huangquan Immortal Sword! And also the Emperor Weapon Primordial Umbrella, plus the almost complete Devouring Sword controlled by Xi Yao!

Dealing with a Three Tribulation Quasi-Emperor should be no problem!

“This battle will be the last before leaving the Xuanhuang Star Region,” Chu Ying muttered to himself, as the voices of his beloved companions came from behind him.

“Chu Ying, we’ll accompany you.”

“No matter how far the remaining path is, we’ll walk it with you!”

“Yes, together!”

Looking at his beloved companions, their faces each exquisitely beautiful and flawless in their own way, Chu Ying smiled.

“In this battle, I will definitely break through.”

Wanyan Qingcheng said with certainty, she had reached the brink of Breakthrough, only lacking a catalyst. Her previous confrontation with the Crazy Blood God Slaughter pirates had already made her touch the Quasi-Emperor barrier.

But now she was just one step away.

“Heh heh, good.”

Chu Ying nodded: “In this battle, we will act together!”

His gaze swept over Yao Ruoxi, Xi Yao, Meng Qing, Ye Qingxian, Feng Ming Hua Yuan, Feng Yuan, Yu Honglei, Yu Chuyue, Qiu Lingsu, Xu Youruo, Sui Caixian, Luo Shuihan, Luo Ruyan, Wanyan Qingcheng, and Zixia.

But he didn’t stop there, Chu Ying was still looking for someone, glancing left and right.

“I thought you had forgotten me.”

Chu Hongyi appeared at some unknown time, she spoke in a flat tone, her arms crossed, calmly looking at Chu Ying.

Seeing Chu Hongyi, the women showed no surprise.

Because ever since they returned that day, Xi Yao and Wanyan Qingcheng had told them about what happened between Chu Ying and Chu Hongyi in the Xuanhuang Star Region when Chu Ying intercepted the Crazy Blood God Slaughter Star Pirates.

Chu Ying smiled gently and walked over to take her hand.

Chu Hongyi hesitated for a moment but didn’t pull away.

“Even through endless cycles of Reincarnation, I would never forget.”

…

Inside the Ancient and Modern Mansion.

The prodigies from Origin Star were diligently cultivating, and on this day, they all temporarily stopped their seclusion and their comprehension.

Because the Ancient and Modern Mansion was about to face a great battle, and after this battle, the peerless genius whom they looked up to and could only constantly pursue, would be leaving.

“Brother Chu, you can definitely do it.”

Yang Jiuxiao clenched his fists, believing that Chu Ying could surely defeat the Guan family’s Quasi-Emperor.

Luo Chen sighed softly: “Both my Younger Sisters are following you, don’t disappoint me, your brother-in-law.”

Jiang Wudao nodded: “Chu Ying carries the destiny of Origin Star. With so many of us, and the destiny of so many Dao Lineages added, he will not fail.”

“Chu the Taboo is fine, Nine Curves Demon Emperor was even slain by him, so what can a Three Tribulation Quasi-Emperor do? We believe in him!”

“Exactly! The Guan family’s desire to covet the Ancient and Modern Mansion’s legacy is absolutely wishful thinking, a futile effort!”

The prodigies of Origin Star were all very excited and firm.

Sect Master Ren Xuming did not conceal the impending attack of the Guan family’s Quasi-Emperor, but instead informed all Disciples and Elders within the Ancient and Modern Mansion.

A truly cohesive and spirited force will not collapse in the face of crisis.

They could be destroyed, but they would never be defeated.

…

“The people from your Ancestral Star are indeed different.”

Huang Xiu looked at Yang Jiuxiao, Yan Chengfeng, Luo Chen, and Jiang Wudao, seeing their high spirits, and couldn’t help but remark to Yu Jingran.

“Of course!”

Yu Jingran smiled proudly: “I never expected it either, that this Brother Chu is actually the savior of my Origin Star! The Son of Destiny!”

“Heh heh, this is different from the Sons of Destiny of other stars. Our Origin Star is one of the only two Ancestral Stars in the Vast Sky!”

Lu Yi rolled his eyes and laughed: “Wait until you set foot on the other Ancestral Star before you get cocky.”

The other Ancestral Star was naturally Burial Emperor Star! That was the most powerful and prosperous star in the Vast Sky, and also a place that countless Dao Lineages and Cultivators dreamed of visiting.

Lu Yi, Huang Xiu, and Yu Jingran were all representatives of the Ancient and Modern Mansion who had reached the Heavenly Venerate Realm Early Stage.

After the Guan family battle concluded, they would also leave Origin Star and embark on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

The Starry Sky Ancient Road was not a specific path, nor was it a path exclusively for Origin Star.

It was a path that Cultivators throughout the starry sky resolutely chose to embark on for their pursuits, for greater strength, for the Martial Dao, for becoming an Emperor… even if it would be very dangerous, or even lead to their demise, they were committed to traveling it.

In a sense, this was a path—even more so, a Dao!

When the path is walked far and through, the Dao is achieved.

If Yu Jingran and the two others embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, their direct goal would be one of the three great Star Seas. Perhaps after cultivating for a period, they would move on to a more powerful Star Sea, embarking on the second segment of the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

Thus, life, like cultivation, never ceases.

…

“Strange? Why can’t I sense my Guan family members?”

The Guan family’s Three Tribulation Quasi-Emperor Old Ancestor, Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan, gradually felt surprised after entering the Canglan Star Lake in the Xuanhuang Star Region.

“Could it be that the Ancient and Modern Mansion has already discovered something and activated some Formation, so all my Guan family members are inside, currently in a standoff, which is why I can’t sense them?”

Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan thought this, finding a suitable explanation for himself, which seemed plausible.

He wouldn’t have thought that the Ancient and Modern Mansion had annihilated his Guan family, because the Ancient and Modern Mansion didn’t have that strength. Even the Mansion Lord couldn’t activate an supreme emperor weapon to destroy the Guan family.

That would only be self-inflicted harm for the Ancient and Modern Mansion, and it would also invite ridicule, allowing other forces to take advantage of the weakness.

After all, there were many forces coveting the Ancient and Modern Mansion’s supreme emperor weapon.

The Nine Heavens Palace in the neighboring Nandou Star Region was very covetous.

And even if one were to take ten thousand steps back, seventy thousand years had passed, and the Guan family had been in the Ancient and Modern Mansion for seventy thousand years, deeply entrenched. Even if Sect Master Ren Xuming, the Mansion Lord of the Ancient and Modern Mansion, had discovered that something was wrong, what could he do?
