Starry Sky Road

At this moment, Mei also saw through the true appearance of the island.

He said with emotion, "Master, this is the Mysterious Turtle that descended from the sky tens of thousands of years ago!"

"Oh, you know the origin of this turtle?"

Zhong Qing looked at Mei in surprise.

Mei quickly replied, "This little demon does not know the origin of this turtle."

"But tens of thousands of years ago, I was fortunate enough to have seen this Mysterious Turtle once!"

"That year, this little demon was still very weak."

"I was cultivating diligently in the deep sea!"

"Suddenly, I felt the world spinning and the deep sea surging."

"Later, this little demon, with trepidation, surfaced to check."

Speaking of this, his eyes showed horror.

Apparently, the scene at that time had left an indelible impression on his mind, and even now, recalling it still made him feel lingering fear.

"What did you see?"

Zhong Qing's curiosity was piqued.

Mei said with a shocked expression, "This little demon saw two colossal beings appear above the sea."

"One of them was this Mysterious Turtle!"

"He stood proudly in the deep sea."

"Like an ancient divine mountain!"

"He commanded the power of ten thousand acres of seawater and battled another peerless Vicious Beast."

"That battle turned the world upside down, and the sun and moon lost their light."

"Blood dyed the sky red, and the surging waves flowed into the starry sky."

"Even the Prison Stars in the sky were struck down."

Hearing this, even Zhong Qing's heart couldn't help but ripple.

Although he knew the Mysterious Turtle was extraordinary.

He never expected it to possess the mighty power to chase stars and pursue the sun.

Mei sighed, "In that battle, this little demon couldn't last until the end; I was knocked out by the battle's aftershocks from tens of thousands of miles away."

"Who would have thought that the Mysterious Turtle would perish here."

"And even transform into an island, nurturing all life on the island."

As the two spoke, they had already entered the jungle.

This place was truly extraordinary.

The island was lush and green.

Spiritual Qi was abundant.

Even the roadside flowers and plants possessed astonishing spirituality.

They clearly showed a tendency to transform into spiritual objects.

It could be said that this was completely a treasure mountain.

It was a rare blessed land.

It was the perfect place for a Sect to establish its base.

Of course, for Zhong Qing, this was just a temporary stop.

The two found a pond to use as their camp for the night.

Mei had clearly fully adapted to his role as a servant.

Hunting, gathering firewood, cleaning prey, and grilling cooked food—he handled everything.

He was a perfect example of a diligent little helper.

After a busy period, dusk had already fallen.

The setting sun was low!

The sky was adorned with red clouds.

Sunlight filtered through the treetops and scattered on the ground, giving a sense of mottled time.

Zhong Qing sat by the bonfire, drinking wine and eating meat.

He looked at the mountains and forests before him.

A phrase unconsciously came to his mind.

Heaven and earth nourish all things for man, yet man has nothing to repay Heaven.

This was the first time he had seen a living being, after death, capable of giving back to heaven and earth.

This couldn't help but remind him of the Pangu creating the world legend from his previous life.

Legend has it that after Pangu created the world, his left eye became the sun, and his right eye became the moon.

His body transformed into the earth, and his body hair became mountains and forests.

He created a Great World with his own body.

This Mysterious Turtle's experience had some similarities to Pangu's.

For a moment, two completely unrelated worlds subtly connected in the unseen.

This world was truly becoming more and more incomprehensible!

Thinking of Pangu's creation legend, Zhong Qing couldn't help but think of his homeland, Blue Star, where he had lived for over twenty years.

His mood became inexplicably melancholic.

The sun had set at some unknown time, and the bright moon had quietly climbed onto the branches.

They say the moon is brightest in one's hometown.

At this moment, Zhong Qing inexplicably missed home.

The moon was large, and the stars were brilliant.

Zhong Qing stared blankly at the bright stars and moon in the sky.

Since coming to this world, he had rarely recalled his hometown.

Recalling the people and events there.

But now, homesickness surged like a tide.

Finally, only a sigh lingered in the long sky.

...

Sleepless night!

The next day, as the sky was faintly lit.

Zhong Qing took Mei on a new journey.

Although this island was a treasure land with many places worth exploring.

He had no intention of lingering.

Although there were many spiritual objects on the island, they had little effect on the improvement of his strength.

Zhong Qing felt a strange urgency to improve his strength.

Deep down, he harbored an ambition.

If one day he could become strong enough to disregard everything, would he be able to return to the homeland that bore and raised him?

Zhong Qing took Mei onto the boat!

Under Mei's control, the boat set off again.

The turbulent sea once again became an unignorable sight before them.

Another few days passed!

Zhong Qing had traveled tens of thousands of miles since departing from Liehai Island.

As the boat advanced, marine life became scarcer.

Even fish were almost nowhere to be seen here.

Zhong Qing knew that he was very close to the location of the Heavenly Abyss!

That night!

Zhong Qing was drinking wine on the deck.

The bright starlight scattered on the sea, turning into sparkling silver fragments.

The shimmering light was incredibly beautiful.

A gentle breeze blew, and waves rolled.

The reflection of the full moon was cast upon the sea.

Zhong Qing glanced at the moon's reflection, his eyes slightly moving.

He stood up, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

Tonight's moon seemed different from usual.

Not only the moon, but also the stars, were different from usual.

Soon, Zhong Qing's eyes narrowed.

Above the stars, countless miles from the ground, several ancient Dao appeared.

Those ancient Dao flickered indistinctly with the stars.

They exuded a vast and ancient aura.

Connecting the stars, they extended into the depths of the starry sky.

Shimmering with specks of starlight and divine radiance.

Extremely mysterious!

Zhong Qing was startled.

What kind of method was it to open an ancient Dao in the starry sky?

Its inconceivability was like humans in his previous life installing an escalator on Mount Everest, tiling the Great Wall, or building a fence in the Pacific Ocean.

No, it was even a hundred times more astonishing than that.

The more Zhong Qing observed, the more his heart trembled.

He felt that he could be teleported to a specific place through this passage.

The key was, who?

Could accomplish such a grand feat!

Using the starry sky as a path and the bright moon as a gate.

Above the bright moon, a portal could vaguely be seen.

Like a giant abyss mouth.

Just looking at it made one's heart palpitate.

As if it contained some great terror.

"Phew!"

Zhong Qing let out a soft breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

He did not explore this ancient path out of curiosity.

After all, since ancient times, the number of people who died due to curiosity could probably circle the moon several times.

Although he had many trump cards and could fearlessly face many dangers.

There was no need to put himself in danger for a bit of curiosity.

Until the boat had traveled very, very far.

One could still vaguely see the abyssal portal above the bright moon, like the gaping maw of an ancient Vicious Beast, ferocious and terrifying, mysterious and unfathomable!

This night, relatively speaking, was peaceful.

But Zhong Qing's heart had been stirred quite a bit.

The waters of this world were too deep!
