Stars Shining Bright

In the night fog, a group of young men and women were discussing excitedly, filled with longing for the land of Kun Jun. Of course, what they talked about most was the Auspicious Beast.

A young man in yellow poured cold water on the situation, saying, "What are you all so excited about? Do you think a mythical Auspicious Beast is so easy to kill? Besides, it's an Ancient Beast that has existed for so long without suffering any harm. It's a being at the very top of the pyramid."

Many people nodded in agreement, agreeing with his statement.

Clearly, this group had done their homework before even going to Kun Jun and knew quite a bit about the place.

A young woman in green spoke up, "This time there should be a chance. The Old Senior of Various Dao Fields and academies will join forces; it can be considered a Pioneering Battle."

The Auspicious Beast dwells outside the forbidden lands. For many years, various academies and schools have wanted to explore that area, but they have always been cautious. This time, however, they seem to have made up their minds.

The Outer Forbidden Zone is a plateau, rich in various medicinal herbs, and even contains some Secret Realm, but no one dares to approach it on ordinary days. Apart from Auspicious Beast, there are also various demons there.

We all have a high probability of getting a chance to participate and eliminate the outcasts. This can be considered a form of pioneering. Those who perform exceptionally well can receive the Auspicious Beast Blood, thereby improving their talents, or even directly achieving Nirvana.

Many people were surprised; was Kun Jun really that big? Qin Ming was the same, and found it somewhat disgusting.

"Kun Jun a large and unique region, with three extremely dangerous areas, and the density of these areas is unprecedented."

At the same time, the presence of ten family temples and a higher education institution is also quite outrageous. Furthermore, the existence of two Blessed Land there is even more unexpected.

Because of the abundance of dangerous terrain, even though the Three Great Dynasties Yu, Gan, and Rui all bordered that area, they dared not claim that territory.

According to the "Record of the Ten Isles Within the Seas - Gathering Grotto Isle": Kun Jun located in the Xu region of the Western Sea and the Hai region of the Northern Sea, 130,000 li away from the shore.

Qin Ming was lost in thought when he overheard the two girls beside him discussing the "Record of the Ten Isles Within the Seas," and he realized that it included parts of the depths of the Night Mist World.

"The Great Pioneering Era hasn't even arrived yet, and we're already pioneering the wilderness! I'm really looking forward to it! I'm willing to be a trailblazer!" A hot-blooded young man in black rubbed his hands together, his expression full of excitement.

Someone laughed and said, "Wake up, kid. You're so impulsive. You might be one of the first cannon fodder." "Auspicious Beast, should we kill it?" a White-Clad Girl whispered.

Someone told me, "When it was born in its early years, Purple Qi Comes From the East the east, so it was called Auspicious Beast. In fact, it caused more harm than those ancient demons."

Like Godlike creature, despite bearing the word "god," its appearance often foretells great calamity. And this Auspicious Beast is actually one of Kunling's Ten Evils.

At that moment, a woman's voice, Consciousness Spirit Light, announced, "Passengers bound for Kun Jun, please note that boarding for your Vermilion Bird Airship has begun."

Immediately, the teenagers who had been discussing the matter all set off towards a huge, fiery red spaceship in the distance.

Sure enough, a large group of teenagers were almost all traveling on the same boat, and more of their peers appeared in the distance, some from the VIP lounge and some who had just arrived.

The ship is enormous, and intricate runes are engraved on it.

As Qin Ming boarded the ship, he saw people transporting strange energy sources, all of which were very square and orderly, some glowing silver-white, others golden and crystalline, and quite aesthetically pleasing.

If you didn't know beforehand, it would be hard to imagine that these were all pieces of wood cut from trees.

"Passengers, the Vermilion Bird Airship departed from Red Haze City and landed at Kun Jun Giant City, Entire Process 21,500 li." Compared to Higher Aberrant, this speed is too slow.

People were already prepared, and they weren't in a rush to catch the ship; they had another purpose. During the journey, the Vermilion Bird would hover in the night sky, perhaps to guide them to "Heavenly Bloom"!

That was the spiritual liquid that the Old Senior of the Beyond the Mundane used to drink as water.

Three-quarters of an hour later, the Vermilion Bird Airship took off and gradually disappeared into the thick darkness of the night.

Looking around, there were more than 500 people in the cabin, at least 400 of whom were young and energetic, making the cabin extremely lively.

In addition, there are premium cabins with beds and bathrooms.

However, for practitioners, the three great things are sufficient; an ordinary seat is enough. (Reading at the Xiuting Pavilion)

Qin Ming noticed that the ship ticket Meng Xinghai gave him included a regular seat in addition to the first-class lounge access, as if he wanted him to experience more of the ship.

He sat in the large cabin for a while, listening to the lively discussions among his peers, and learned a lot about Kun Jun. After talking about the Auspicious Beast, some of the teenagers mentioned aliens.

"After the Great Wilderness Expansion, most of the other species can now coexist peacefully with us." Someone nodded and said, "Of course, those that can't coexist are demons, and they'll be wiped out soon."

"Don't laugh. This is actually a very heavy topic. Looking back, we were almost at the brink of our race's survival. We eventually managed to stabilize the situation, so it's natural that we have to be ruthless when dealing with demons."

Some people cite examples such as the enormous beasts and mountain-sized plants that were extremely dangerous in the past, which are no longer seen; this is the result of fierce battles fought over them.

"Now, even the strange creatures deep in the mountains will have conflicts with people from outside the mountains, but there will definitely be no more who dare to massacre a city, otherwise they would definitely be wiped out."

Therefore, many outcasts are now actively transforming into human form and integrating into our society.

Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect to be sitting next to a Fox Fairy. I'm really offended.

The boy, who was speaking, then noticed that the girl sitting next to him was a beautiful girl with a snow-white fox tail.

"It's alright. Many humans are also transforming into beasts, walking the path of mutation. We're all intertwined; it's normal."

The fox woman was very calm. Her skin was fair, and her white fox tail gave her a mysterious and extraordinary aura. Then she continued, "Actually, even among your Pathfinders, there are beast-transformers."

Well, some of us outsiders have become human, and have instead become your Grandmaster Level and Old Senior. It's hard to distinguish between humans and outsiders now.

Someone immediately objected, disliking such talk, saying, "Impossible! How could there be an anomaly among the Pathfinders and Grandmaster Level?"

Qin Ming listened quietly, and although he couldn't believe everything, he still gained some knowledge.

Meanwhile, Red Haze City, Talking Finch carrying a small bundle flew into the mountains, muttering to itself, "Mountain Lord, this Little Finch is also going to study."

Its gaze was resolute as it said, "I must move back and continue on my way. First, I will go with my companions to the Blessed Land to follow Lord Violet Lightning Beast. They say Kun Jun has auspicious blood and may go there. I want to go too."

The night fog was thick, and the massive Vermilion Bird Airship, with its intricate runes flowing through it, traversed the vast sky, stirring up gusts of Astral Wind.

After a brief debate, many of the young men in the cabin began to make friends. They dared to set off alone to study 20,000 miles away, and there were no hothouse bean sprouts among them.

Of course, youthful spirits inevitably lead to boasting, arguing, and impulsive arguments.

A group of boys naturally gathered around the several exceptionally beautiful and strikingly attractive young girls, asking them which dojo or academy they were heading to.

"I was defeated in an important competition and failed to enter the academy I most wanted to attend," a young man in black said, sounding quite disappointed.

"Brother, where are you going?" someone couldn't help but ask.

The black-clad youth Sun Teng, sighed, "We have no choice but to go to the Sky Roc Dao Field." The surrounding crowd immediately fell silent; some wanted to hit him.

One person said indignantly, "Sky Roc Dao Field is ranked at the top, what else are you dissatisfied with? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"

Legend has it that the Sky Roc Dao Field is guarded by a real Golden Winged Roc, whose cultivation is extremely terrifying, demonstrating the profound depth of the dojo's foundation.

Sun Teng said, "Actually, I wanted to go to the Origin Academy more, but unfortunately, I encountered the Eighty-One Freak and was defeated by him. After that, I lost the will to fight again."

Many people wanted to beat him up. This guy was definitely showing off with a sigh on purpose, because the Sky Roc Dao Field was really strong. The Eighty-One Freak" he mentioned was that terrifying young man who dominated eighty-one cities. Now, his nickname was far more famous than his real name.

Among so many young people, there were naturally many formidable figures. Some people didn't tolerate him. Qiu Long, the yellow-clad youth who had previously discussed the Auspicious Beast, calmly said, "I'll go check with the Origin Academy for you."

Those around him looked on in surprise, then with envy. Sun Teng didn't want to say anything more.

"The Origin Academy, the Immortal Path, the New Life Path, the Path of the Esoteric Sect, and the Path of the Heretics—they all seem very powerful, don't they?" a girl in blue asked with a bright smile.

Qiu Long nodded and said, "That's right, my Immortal Path and the New Life Path run parallel, so choosing that one is the most suitable."

"Brother, you're really amazing! Let's get acquainted. My name is Lu Xu, and I'm heading to the Ascension Academy." A tall young man spoke up.

Qiu Long sighed, "Brother, you're truly remarkable. The Ascension Academy doesn't recruit many disciples; they are all top figures capable of embarking on the Immortal Path, and they seem to have Grandmaster Level figure supporting them."

Many people's eyes have changed; you really can't compare people.

"Lu Xu, you wouldn't happen to be Pure Yang Body, would you? There are nine Solar Yang in your name." A White-Clad Girl blinked her big eyes and asked.

The tall young man Lu Xu, waved his hand and said, "I'm not that freak. His name is Lu Dao, and he should have entered the Grand Yi Academy."

"Greetings, gentlemen. My name is Qi Ming. I follow the path of the Esoteric Sect and am heading to the Calamity Avoidance Dao Field." A handsome young man stood up to greet them.

Lu Xu exclaimed in surprise, "Qi Ming, I've heard of you, a prodigy on the Secret Sect Path. I never expected to meet you here today." As people from the Immortal Path and the Secret Path appeared one after another and got to know each other, the people on the New Life Path seemed to be suffering from bloodline suppression, gradually...

Why is it chirping?

Because, years later, when their spirits have been worn down, they might go and seek refuge with these peers, becoming their Golden Armor Guard or Jade Armor Guard.

Qin Ming discovered that there were indeed powerful figures among them, with extremely strong Consciousness Spirit Light and exceptionally rich Divine Wisdom, clearly aiming for the Auspicious Beast Blood.

He even keenly sensed that a woman completely covered in clothing Consciousness Spirit Light an astonishingly high level of yang energy, somewhat extraordinary—could she be Pure Yang Body? Soon, the woman left, and the person sitting next to her breathed a sigh of relief, whispering, "Do you know who that was just now?" "Who?" Many people were intrigued.

"A descendant of a Pathfinders from Beyond the Mundane Yang Land!"

"Hiss!" A collective gasp filled the air. "How did you know?" someone asked.

"Because my elder brother cultivates in Sunland. I've been there and seen her from afar. When she cultivates, she's like a small Solar Yang shining brightly!"

Before long, six more people got up and headed to the high-class cabin.

Subsequently, their identities were revealed one after another: one was the granddaughter of a Old Senior, and the other was a descendant of a high-ranking member of the Esoteric Sect. All of them were young people with impressive backgrounds and unfathomable strength.

One of the Purple-Clad Boy was extremely excited. He told those around him that the masked woman sitting next to him was likely a renowned and powerful celestial being, because someone had inadvertently revealed her name when they asked her to leave together.

It is said that this girl developed Consciousness Spirit Light when she was three or four years old, truly Near Immortal Seed!

"How are we, the New Life Path, supposed to survive? How can we compete?" Sun Teng, the young man in black, looked up and sighed sincerely this time.

After those people left, it sparked a heated discussion. Everyone was surprised that so many peers with impressive backgrounds were going to Kun Jun City, just like them.

After listening for a moment, Qin Ming picked up the Night Report on his seat and began to read it.

"Huh?" He was surprised. The front page was actually given to a young man. He had heard about him more than once. He Ling Yu, the Young Grandmaster from Flowing Light City.

Back in Red Haze City, Talking Finch had told him many secrets. The Purple-Eyed Crow Qin Ming met in Black White Mountain thought highly of him.

However, Crow Master and Tang Jin, the woman wearing a fur coat who was watching the fight, chose someone else as their teacher's successor.

"Young Grandmaster, testing his sword in a hundred cities, undefeated, perhaps he could be called Young Ancestor." The Night Report praised Ling Yu highly; his record was indeed terrifying.

You're following him too? This guy is amazing. Most importantly, his teacher is even more legendary, about to become a patriarch...

"A master-level figure!" The girl next to Qin Ming was very lively and talkative, and she started talking to herself.

Qin Ming nodded. He had long heard of the old Master in Flowing Light City, who was the most likely person in this era to become Ancestor. This person was pioneering a path, combining the two methods to move forward, and had been quite successful so far.

According to the information Talking Finch obtained from the Purple-Eyed Crow, the Young Grandmaster Ling Yu is likely not the strongest disciple of Flowing Light City.

As Tang Jin had said, the people she selected for her teacher were like the Scorching Sun waiting to break through the black clouds, but they should not be exposed too early, lest they incur the Heaven's Jealousy.

"Just how strong is a disciple taught by Quasi-Grandmaster?" Qin Ming muttered to himself.

The girl in green beside him chuckled, "You'll find out soon enough. It's said that a Black-Clad Woman and a Purple-Eyed Crow are taking Ling Yu to Sword Testing Under the Heavens, honing the new techniques passed down by his master. They'll probably be arriving in our Kun Jun City soon."

Qin Ming said, "Judging from this, Kun Jun City will not be peaceful. There were already several young men and women with considerable backgrounds, and now..."

"If a Young Grandmaster were to fight here, it would truly be quite a spectacle."

"It's very likely the Young Ancestor!" the girl in green corrected. "Yes!" Qin Ming smiled and nodded.

(There's more to come!)
