868: Let’s go to the ancient secret realm of Tianyuan!

The true center of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms seemed to exist in the void, yet it was a mysterious star that truly stood tall.

One of the only two Ancestral Stars in the Universe, the Burial Emperor Star!

The ancient Burial Emperor Star was the same as always: peace and chaos coexisted. Prodigies constantly emerged, Old Ancestors of Immortal Dao Lineages awoke from slumber, Ancient Prodigies stirred, and the God Race of the Ancient Era reappeared... Speaking of which, when the strange phenomena of Chaos Golden Clouds and the Emperor Road Heavenly Gate appeared in the Deeper Starry Sky, the Burial Emperor Star was also affected... "Such a strange phenomenon... what kind of Prodigy has appeared in the outside world? To be able to condense such a phenomenon, has this person already gained the recognition of destiny?"

"Could it be an Ancient Freak appearing in the outside world? That is not impossible."

"The ability to draw out the Heavenly Gate phenomenon proves that person has the potential to become an Emperor, and will definitely be a formidable enemy in the future Emperors Road competition."

The strange phenomena in the Deeper Starry Sky drew the attention of many Dao Lineages on the Burial Emperor Star; many ancient existences extended their sight.

"Calculating the time, the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm should be opening soon, right?"

"Since a Destined One has already been born, the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm cannot be delayed any longer. Let it be now!"

"Hmph, those Dao Lineages from the outside world always want a piece of the pie in the Ancient Secret Realm, unaware that in our eyes, they are just a bunch of low-tier characters."

"Do they really think there's no difference in strength just because they are all Nine Tribulation Quasi-Emperors? Laughable."

Sure enough, not long after, strange phenomena appeared around the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm—a sign of its imminent opening.

The forces within the Burial Emperor Star began to stir, preparing to enter the Deeper Starry Sky.

Jade Maiden Mountain is located in a similarly remote Star Sea. Due to the influence of the Great Dao rules of heaven and earth, this Star Sea sees snow year-round, with snowflakes drifting in the starry sky, making it very unique.

This place is named Drifting Snow Star Sea, and Jade Maiden Mountain is situated at the far northern end of the Drifting Snow Star Sea.

When Chu Ying's flying ship arrived here, it meant that the four Beauties and Dao Companions aboard—Jiang Chuchu, Ximen Xiaoxue, Luo Shuihan, and Luo Ruyan—would have to temporarily part ways with him.

"Do you want to have a parting conversation?"

Mo Liyue, the Elder Sister of the Twin Moon Myth twins, looked toward Luo Ruyan and the other three women, then glanced at Chu Ying.

"No need, let's just go directly."

Luo Shuihan said straightforwardly.

"Just leaving like that?" Chu Ying blinked, looking oddly at the four women.

"Hmph! Who doesn't know you're wishing for us to leave quickly right now?"

Luo Shuihan pouted, walked angrily in front of Chu Ying, grabbed his arm, bit down with her silver teeth, and immediately a row of teeth marks appeared.

Chu Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed her small head.

"Chu Ying, we are leaving now."

Compared to Luo Shuihan, Luo Ruyan was gentle as water. She nestled in Chu Ying's arms and stayed quietly for a moment.

Chu Ying whispered something in her ear. It was unclear what he said, but it instantly caused Luo Ruyan's cheeks to flush crimson, and she fled as if escaping.

"Husband~"

Ximen Xiaoxue bit her tender lips with her crystalline teeth, looking at Chu Ying with reluctance.

"When we meet again next time, I hope Xiao Xue will have made substantial progress." Chu Ying laughed.

"Mhm, I definitely will, Husband!"

Ximen Xiaoxue nodded heavily. Not long ago, she was still the Saintess of Paradise Palace. Although a Saintess, her fate was manipulated by others, and she was powerless, used as a Cauldron by her Family, schemed against, and abandoned.

If she hadn't met Chu Ying, she could hardly imagine what her outcome would be now.

"Hurry up and go, stop being so reluctant."

Jiang Chuchu glanced at the three and said this. She was actually very attached to Chu Ying too, but she knew even better that the road ahead was more difficult. They couldn't rely solely on Chu Ying; they had to rely on themselves.

"Young Master Ying, then... I will take them now."

Mo Liyue looked at Chu Ying and said this. As she spoke, she subconsciously looked toward her Younger Sister, Mo Yanyue.

"I trouble Young Master Ying to look after my Younger Sister Yan Yue. Her personality is proud and spoiled, and her Heart-Nature is impulsive and reckless. If she offends Young Master Ying in any way, please be accommodating."

Mo Liyue bowed slightly and said softly.

"Hehe, naturally."

Chu Ying looked playfully at the indifferent Mo Yanyue and chuckled, "Did you hear that? Your Elder Sister's advice?"

"Tch!"

Mo Yanyue waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and go, we still need to rush to the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm!"

Seeing her demeanor, Mo Liyue's face darkened, and she said coldly, "After things settle down here at Jade Maiden Mountain, I will also go to the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm."

"Don't cause any trouble for me!"

...Mo Liyue departed with Chu Ying's four Beauties, heading toward Jade Maiden Mountain.

Now, there were very few people left on the flying ship.

"Husband, then I..."

Xue Qingluan gently bit her soft lips, standing beside Chu Ying and asking softly.

"What is Luaner thinking? Of course, you'll stay by my side and cultivate." Chu Ying laughed heartily, picked her up by the waist, and walked toward a room on the flying ship.

"Fairy Yan Yue, Fairy Liu, please pilot the flying ship toward the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm. We'll rest for a while first."

Chu Ying's words spread, causing Liu Ping and Mo Yanyue on the ship to exchange glances, both slightly stunned.

"Hey! I'm not your servant, why am I driving the ship?"

"Are you treating me like a maidservant?"

Mo Yanyue's star-like eyes widened, full of annoyance and indignation.

Liu Ping, however, pursed her lips and obediently went to pilot the flying ship, turning it to begin sailing in the direction of the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm.

"Are you really letting him order you around?"

Mo Yanyue couldn't help but look at Liu Ping and asked in confusion.

Liu Ping shook her head and sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist Yan Yue, you should calm down."

"What do you mean?" Mo Liyue frowned.

But Liu Ping did not say anything further... Deeper Starry Sky.

A top-tier behemoth Dao Lineage force, the Primordial Wang Family.

"Let's go. It is time to head to the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm. This time, my Wang Family must gain something!"

"Hmph, my Wang Family also has a Destined One with the potential of a Great Emperor, but his Heavenly Secrets have been obscured, lest he arouse the apprehension of those people from the Immortal Palace, and those few forces on the Burial Emperor Star..."

"We must obtain enough [immortal leaves], at least five pieces! To help our Wang Family's Destined One seize the Immortal Opportunity!"

Wang Chongyang, the Clan Chief of the Primordial Wang Family, looked indifferent. He was an elderly man whose cultivation aura had reached the Middle Stage of Nine Tribulation Quasi-Emperor, which was extremely profound, not far from the Late Stage.

"Clan Chief, a Mythical Expert from our Wang Family died at the hands of that mysterious Ying. Are we not going to avenge this?"

A Nine Tribulation Quasi-Emperor couldn't help but ask.

"That Ying is also a Destined One, and his current strength is too great; he might be a certain Ancient Freak."

Wang Chongyang, the Wang Family Clan Chief, said with solemn eyes, "There is no need to provoke him; others will deal with him."

"For now, the big picture is the priority."

Hearing Wang Chongyang say this, the others understood and said nothing more.

"Bring a supreme emperor weapon and depart with me!"

For this trip to the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm, Wang Chongyang, as the Clan Chief, intended to personally lead the team. Even he, a Nine Tribulation Quasi-Emperor of the Middle Stage in cultivation, was going to enter... Slaughter Heaven Hall.

An extremely mysterious and dark top-tier behemoth Dao Lineage that also belongs to the assassin forces.

The powerful mystery of this force lies in its intricate connections with the three terrifying Assassin Organizations on the Burial Emperor Star.
