160: Chapter 160 Daoist Master Youquan

The Xinghai Realm.

This was an unimaginably massive world, with a surface area large enough to contain hundreds of Xingyuan Continents.

Its surroundings...

...were also encircled by countless stars, which emitted a faint, eerie glow that made the entire Xinghai Realm appear like the center of the Universe.

Within the Xinghai Realm...

...the power of Laws was clearly visible; any unremarkable valley here could be considered a top-tier cultivation Holy Land in an Intermediate world.

The ruler of this massive world was a terrifying force that had inherited a Legacy for millions of years—

The Star Remains Hall.

Within the Star Remains Hall, experts were as numerous as clouds.

There were ten existences in the Domain Realm alone!

And the Hall Master of the Star Remains Hall—Daoist Xinghai.

He was a super expert at the Peak Domain Realm, an invincible existence truly standing at the very Peak of the entire Star Domain.

There were two Vice Hall Masters.

They were similarly experts at the Late Stage of the Domain Realm.

As for the other seven Elders, the weakest among them was at the Early Stage of the Domain Realm.

Such strength...

...gave the Star Remains Hall a pivotal position in the center of the entire Star Domain.

Although it couldn't compare to those three legendary super-large worlds...

...nonetheless...

...among ordinary large worlds, the Star Remains Hall was definitely ranked near the very top.

Daoist Youquan.

He was at the Peak of the Early Stage of the Domain Realm, only a hair's breadth away from the Middle Stage.

And now.

He had finally crossed that line.

"Whew..."

Daoist Youquan let out a long breath of turbid air, and a satisfied smile couldn't help but curl at the corners of his mouth.

Middle Stage of the Domain Realm.

He had achieved a Breakthrough!

From now on, his ranking among the Elders of the Star Remains Hall would also take a step forward.

The Sixth Elder, who was originally ranked ahead of him, had not yet broken through to the Middle Stage of the Domain Realm.

In other words...

...his current strength could rank him at least among the top six of all Elders in the Star Remains Hall...

Do not think that because his ranking wasn't at the very front, he didn't have much status within the Star Remains Hall.

If you thought that way...

...you would be completely mistaken!

One must know.

The Xinghai Realm was a large world, and their Star Remains Hall ruled over the entire world; his ranking within the Star Remains Hall was equivalent to his ranking within the entire world.

In other words.

He was one of the top ten existences in the entire world. Just think about how powerful that is!

It was no exaggeration to say.

Every move he made and every decision he reached was fully qualified to influence the direction of the entire Star Remains Hall, or rather, the entire Xinghai Realm.

He was truly one of the decision-makers standing at the Peak of the Xinghai Realm!

"Good, good! I have finally broken through to the Middle Stage of the Domain Realm!"

After Daoist Youquan slowly stood up...

...he first stretched his limbs, and then, feeling the power within his body that was dozens of times stronger than before, his mood couldn't help but turn excellent.

There was no other way.

As a Domain Realm expert, every step of progress in cultivation was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Take these Domain Realm experts of the Star Remains Hall, for example.

It had been tens of thousands of years.

No one had broken through; in particular, those few Elders at the Early Stage of the Domain Realm were older than him, yet in tens of thousands of years, they had still not achieved a Breakthrough.

He had come from behind.

Having successfully broken through, how could he not be happy?

However.

Soon, his brow furrowed.

Because...

...he remembered another matter.

Some time ago, he had sensed a call for help from three juniors under his lineage.

Those three juniors were grand-disciples of his line, separated by an unknown number of generations; although their talent was mediocre, they were at least sensible.

He usually didn't pay them much attention, but since they had asked for help, he had still taken action.

He had intended to save them from across the void and teach that ignorant opponent a lesson while he was at it.

However.

His power had been blocked.

It was blocked head-on by a strange power.

He had been very shocked at the time.

Because...

...that meant the opponent's strength was not to be underestimated.

Even though they were separated by an endless distance...

...which greatly weakened his strength...

...nonetheless...

...he was a Domain Realm expert after all; even if his strength was weakened to less than a tenth, it wasn't something just anyone could withstand.

But at that time, he was at a critical moment of his Breakthrough and had no time for distractions.

Added to the fact that the distance was too vast and deducing the location would consume a great deal of mental effort, he had temporarily set the matter aside.

Now.

He had successfully broken through.

Looking across the entire Star Domain, there were not many existences left who could make him wary.

It was also time...

...to go and reclaim his dignity.

"This deity would like to see just who is so bold as to dare touch this deity's people!"

Daoist Youquan gave a cold snort and, with a casual wave of his hand, began his deduction.

His vast Divine Thought followed the unseen threads of Karma, spreading out toward the direction where those three juniors had disappeared.

The Star Domain was boundless.

The process of deduction was not smooth.

The auras of those three juniors were already extremely faint; clearly, they had been dead for quite some time.

And the place where they had perished...

...seemed to have its heavenly secrets obscured by some powerful force, causing his deductions to be repeatedly obstructed.

But Daoist Youquan was in no hurry.

The current him...

...was already at the Middle Stage of the Domain Realm; his strength had increased greatly, and his deduction abilities were also much stronger than before.

Although he couldn't deduce the exact location, he could still determine the general direction.

Time passed bit by bit.

After an unknown amount of time—

Daoist Youquan opened his eyes, a cold light flashing within them.

"The Borderlands of the Star Domain?"

"How could it be such a godforsaken place? Could there even be experts in a place like that?"

He frowned slightly.

He truly couldn't understand how this could be connected to The Borderlands of the Star Domain.

One must know.

In such a desolate and barren place, he usually felt that taking even a second look was a waste of time; even if he were invited with the greatest ceremony, it would be impossible for him to go to such a place.

"Although I haven't deduced the exact location, with a general direction, it won't be hard to find."

A flash of killing intent crossed Daoist Youquan's eyes.

As the Elder within the Star Remains Hall...

...who protected his own the most, he didn't have many people under him, even if they were just three of the lowest-level juniors.

Nonetheless...

...he felt it was necessary to go and reclaim their dignity!

Of course.

The most important thing was to reclaim his own dignity; he really wanted to see who in that godforsaken place had blocked his attack!

He wasn't afraid of danger either.

With his strength at the Middle Stage of the Domain Realm, there weren't many in the entire Star Domain who could pose a threat to him.

Those old monsters from the super-large worlds wouldn't easily leave their home bases.

As for anyone else?

He didn't even acknowledge them.

Furthermore.

Through the last exchange across the void, he had already roughly gauged the opponent's background.

While it was a bit strange, they shouldn't have reached the Domain Realm.

At most...

...they were at the Peak of the Unity Realm, or perhaps they relied on some kind of secret treasure to block his attack.

Such a person...

...he could destroy with a casual wave of his hand!

Thinking of this, Daoist Youquan no longer hesitated.

He casually tore—

"Rip!"

The Void Realm was like paper as a huge gash was torn open.

Daoist Youquan stepped inside.

He instantly vanished from the spot.

The other end of the void was in the direction of The Borderlands of the Star Domain.

And at this moment.

In the distant Xuantian Continent.

Wang Chen was standing with his hands behind his back, overlooking this newborn land.

Suddenly.

His brow twitched slightly.

An indistinct sense of being pried into came from the deep depths of the extremely distant void.

Although it was very faint, it couldn't escape his perception.

"Hmm?"

A look of amusement flashed in Wang Chen's eyes.

"Interesting, someone has actually delivered themselves to my door so quickly!"

"If they had come a bit earlier, perhaps they could have caused me some trouble!"

"But coming now... they can only be considered unlucky..."
