302: Chapter 302 First Hearing of the Seven Major Forces

Cao Yang, as was his habit, walked with steady steps to the familiar table on the deck and slowly sat down.

He gently picked up a cup of Divine Tea that emitted a mysterious fragrance. First, he took a deep breath to savor the refreshing aroma, and then he carefully took a sip.

At this moment, while savoring the unique charm of the Divine Tea, he occasionally cast his gaze toward the endless Void Realm outside the flying ship.

In that vast, boundless gray world, the scenery mostly appeared the same.

However, the occasional appearance of Void Creatures added a bit of variety to the monotony.

Cao Yang gazed quietly into the distance, a deep sense of emotion welling up in his heart.

The Great Universe was truly too vast; even with his currently powerful Divine Sense, he was still unable to glimpse where the nearest force to their flying ship was located.

Thinking of this, Cao Yang turned his head slightly and spoke softly to Hong Sipan, who had been standing silently by his side:

"Sipan, just how much further is the nearest force in this Great Universe?"

Hearing Cao Yang's question, Hong Sipan's beautiful eyes blinked.

A gentle smile appeared on her face as she replied softly, "Brother Cao, there is still some distance for now. However, if we estimate based on our flying ship's current speed, your Divine Sense should be able to detect where those forces are in about a month."

She paused briefly before continuing, "However, it is worth noting that there isn't just one force near us.

In fact, there are seven large-scale forces, as well as countless small forces scattered all around."

As Cao Yang and Hong Sipan conversed, their dialogue seemed to possess a certain magic, successfully drawing the attention of the other women nearby.

Hearing the voices, the women looked over, their faces filled with curiosity, and they all began walking toward them.

One by one, they approached and listened intently to what Hong Sipan had to say next.

"Oh? In that case, hurry up and tell us about these major forces in detail!"

Cao Yang leisurely picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and urged Hong Sipan with a smile.

Hong Sipan nodded obediently in response and softly replied, "Alright, Brother Cao."

She then began to explain eloquently, "These seven powerful forces are all located in the very center of that vast galactic Void Realm.

Each force occupies and controls an extremely vast continent. Four larger continents surround the exterior, while the other three continents are located in the central region.

These three continents face each other, forming a tripartite balance. It is particularly worth mentioning that these three central continents are significantly broader and more grand than the four on the periphery!

Furthermore, surrounding the periphery of these seven continents are countless galaxies of various sizes."

"The three major forces located in the center are known as Xu Yan Tian, Xu Ying Tian, and Xu Shang Tian.

Surrounding the central region are the four well-known major forces: Wanjie Pavilion, the Star Pirate Sect, the Heartless Motherland, and the Beast Taming Divine Alliance."

After Hong Sipan finished her orderly introduction, she gracefully reached out to take the teacup Cao Yang handed her and took a light sip.

Cao Yang immediately followed up with a question, "So, how strong are these seven forces? Are there many experts in the Source Emperor Realm among them?"

Hong Sipan carefully placed the teacup back on the table and continued her explanation unhurriedly:

"Brother Cao, from what I have seen, each of these seven major forces has about ten Source Emperors.

Not only that, more importantly, they each have super powerhouses at the Peak Source Emperor level overseeing them, and there is more than just one such top-tier expert.

To be honest, on the surface, the overall strength of these seven major forces can be said to be on par with each other.

But what is puzzling is why they would form such a unique geographic distribution."

The reason Hong Sipan said this was because, from the geographic distribution, it felt as though the statuses of the seven major forces were different.

Hearing this, Cao Yang nodded slightly in agreement.

He thought to himself that he felt there might be even more powerful figures or forces existing above these seven major forces.

"Cao Lang, hearing what Sister Sipan said, could the continents occupied by these seven major forces be an unprecedentedly large Super Formation?"

Revered Master Ouyang Liuli's brows furrowed slightly as her beautiful eyes gazed into the distance, speaking softly as if in deep thought.

In fact, she wasn't the only one who thought so; even Cao Yang and the other women present all had the same thought flash through their minds at this moment.

After all, upon careful observation, it wasn't hard to notice that the distribution of the continents where these seven major forces were located was far too orderly, as if they had been meticulously designed and laid out, full of traces of artificial craftsmanship.

"Yes, Junior Brother, in my opinion, it is most likely a Super Formation, just as Sister Liuli said!"

At this time, Fourth Senior Sister Fu Xiaoya walked over slowly, her lips parting as she spoke in a voice as clear and pleasant as an oriole's.

Cao Yang nodded slightly in agreement. "It is indeed very likely! However, if it truly is as we suspect, then the strength of the person capable of planning and organizing the construction of such a grand formation must be unfathomable and beyond imagination."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but ponder, and a figure instantly flashed through his mind—that mysterious and powerful Guardian of the River of Time.

Among the many experts Cao Yang had encountered in the past, only this Guardian of the River of Time had displayed strength that had already surpassed the Source Emperor Realm, reaching an unreachable height.

If this Super Formation truly came from the hands of this person or someone of equal strength, it wouldn't be entirely impossible.

Mentioning him, even to this day, Cao Yang would still involuntarily feel a wave of lingering fear whenever he looked back.

It wasn't until he successfully reached the Source Emperor Realm that he truly felt how massive the gap in strength between him and that Guardian of the River of Time had been.

Thinking back to the past, if Hong Sipan hadn't stepped forward and risked her life to block that overwhelming and fierce attack for him, he probably would have lost his life and ended up in the Yellow Springs long ago.

He even felt that he might not have had time to send a distress signal to the System in the depths of his heart before being ruthlessly killed by his opponent in an instant.

Unless the System could activate itself and apply protective measures to him in time.

Just then, a cold chill that was hard to detect flashed through the depths of Cao Yang's eyes.

This subtle change was not noticed by the women present.

Among them, only Hong Sipan keenly captured this fleeting change in expression.

Additionally, Tian Qing, who was currently snuggling in A Yinggu's arms, also noticed it.
