396: Chapter 396 Reaching the Golden Crow's Nest

Five years passed in the blink of an eye. After a long voyage through the Chaos, the vessel finally arrived at its destination—the Golden Crow Nest.

The Golden Crow Nest was a super Great Universe within the Chaos. Compared to an ordinary Great Universe, there weren't many obvious differences.

However, after being meticulously modified by a Transcendent, this super Great Universe was permeated with dense Chaos Power, making it a unique and mysterious existence.

The Chaos Power within the Golden Crow Nest appeared much gentler compared to other forces within the Chaos.

This gentle power was undoubtedly a great boon for the Cultivation of all living spirits.

Here, all spirits could better absorb and utilize Chaos Power to enhance their own strength.

Standing at the very front of the vessel, Cao Yang and the girls gazed together at the massive black hole before them.

The black hole was like a bottomless abyss, deep and dark, making one feel an instinctive sense of awe.

Cao Yang turned to look at Jinwu Lanxin and asked softly, "Xin'er, is the Golden Crow Nest you mentioned inside this black hole?"

Jinwu Lanxin smiled and nodded, answering, "That's right, Brother Cao. My clan's ancestral land is inside. I will use the Jinwu Bloodline to establish a connection with the Golden Crow Nest and open the gate immediately."

With that, Jinwu Lanxin's hands continuously shifted through hand seals like a dancing Fairy, sending streaks of golden light into the black hole before them.

Cao Yang stared at the black hole, a sense of reverence welling up in his heart.

This black hole was not a common cosmic phenomenon; it was a super Great Universe modified by a Transcendent.

Cao Yang was well aware of the risks involved. If he didn't possess the powerful ability of the Invincible Domain, he probably wouldn't dare to step into this unknown territory with so many female Dao Companions.

After all, the Transcendent responsible for modifying this super Great Universe might have set up countless overt or hidden traps; a single moment of carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.

However, Cao Yang did not shrink back.

His gaze fell firmly on Jinwu Lanxin. After she finished performing a mysterious Spell, a gold-and-red gate slowly appeared above the black hole.

The gate emitted a dazzling light, as if it were a passage leading to another world.

Jinwu Lanxin gave a slight smile and said to Cao Yang, "Alright, Brother Cao, we can pilot the vessel straight in!"

Cao Yang nodded and signaled for everyone to get ready.

At his command, the vessel they were on sped forward like a bolt of lightning, vanishing into the gold-and-red gate in an instant.

Once inside, the scene before them was exactly as Jinwu Lanxin had described; the environment here was almost identical to the Great Universe.

"Wow, this feels just like being back in the Universe!" Second Senior Sister Su Xuan shouted excitedly. She took a deep breath of the fresh air, her face blooming with a satisfied smile.

"Yeah, yeah! Sister Lan Xin's ancestral land is so beautiful; it makes one feel incredibly comfortable!" Wen Xiaoke echoed, her face also showing a relaxed expression.

Seeing how much the girls missed the environment of the Great Universe, Cao Yang had an idea and suggested, "Since everyone likes this environment so much, why don't we leave the vessel and fly? We can experience it from a closer distance that way."

"Great idea, great idea!" the girls expressed their agreement one after another, eager to experience the feeling of soaring freely through the Universe.

Seeing this, Cao Yang took the lead and jumped off the vessel, then waited for the girls to come down one by one. Only after everyone had safely left did he put the vessel away.

Cao Yang noticed an interesting phenomenon: except for the maids rewarded by the System, his other women seemed to have a special emotional attachment to the Universe.

Compared to the Chaos, they clearly preferred the environment of the Universe.

However, Cao Yang himself didn't have many particular feelings about it.

To him, whether in the Chaos or in the Universe, there wasn't much of a difference.

"Xin'er, you lead the way!" Cao Yang looked at Jinwu Lanxin with a smile, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Hearing this, Jinwu Lanxin nodded gently and turned to fly forward.

Her figure was as light as a swallow, as if she were merging with this patch of the Universe.

Cao Yang's Divine Sense was like radar, quickly scanning the surrounding space.

However, to his surprise, in such a vast Universe, he didn't see even a single shadow of a Golden Crow.

"This super Great Universe is truly vast but sparsely populated!" Cao Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Jinwu Lanxin was very familiar with this Universe. Her flying speed was neither fast nor slow, just right.

Cao Yang and the other girls followed closely behind her, traversing this mysterious Universe together.

Within everyone's Divine Sense, this Great Universe presented a unique sight.

The most striking features were the gold-and-red mulberry trees and the massive rivers scattered everywhere.

One of these gold-and-red mulberry trees appeared every hundred million miles. They varied in size, but all emitted a faint golden glow.

Seen from a distance, they were like scattered stars dotting the Universe.

And those massive rivers were like winding giant dragons weaving between the mulberry trees.

They intersected with one another, forming a complex water network.

This scene reminded Cao Yang of the water towns south of the Yangtze River on Blue Star, except the mulberry trees and rivers here were countless times larger.

"Sister Lan Xin, why are there so many Ancient Mulberry Trees here?" Long Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously, her lively eyes curiously scanning the surrounding trees as if trying to find an answer.

Jinwu Lanxin smiled slightly and explained patiently, "Sister Xiao, these mulberry trees aren't ordinary ones; they are the divine trees of our Golden Crow Clan! That's why you can see them everywhere in this Universe."

"Wow, divine trees!" Long Xiaoxiao exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Jinwu Lanxin continued, "Moreover, in the center of our Golden Crow ancestral land, there is an even larger Ancestral Mulberry Tree. It's said that this Ancestral Mulberry Tree was born along with the first Golden Crow ancestor and witnessed the origin of the Golden Crow Clan. Back then, the Golden Crow ancestor didn't have great strength or Divine Abilities, and relied entirely on the protection of this Ancestral Mulberry Tree to survive those dark times at the beginning of the birth of Chaos."

Hearing this, the girls all nodded thoughtfully, filled with reverence for this mysterious Ancestral Mulberry Tree.

However, Cao Yang felt something was strange.

According to common logic, such an ancient and powerful Ancestral Mulberry Tree should have long since transcended this Chaos World. Why would it still remain in the Golden Crow Nest?

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, his doubts growing.
