Whoosh! Li Yuan's gaze sharpened, and with a flicker of his body, he charged into the dark cave.
The moment he stepped within the cave's bounds—
Buzz~ The circular passage, less than two meters in diameter, instantly lit up as brightly as day, stretching straight to its deepest reaches.
Li Yuan suddenly stopped and turned toward Demigod Bai Shan at the cave entrance. "Senior Bai Shan, you aren't coming in?"
Demigod Bai Shan was just about to speak.
"He cannot enter." A deep voice rang out. Countless rays of light swiftly gathered, forming the phantom of a white-robed old man within the passage.
"Elder Yun." Li Yuan recognized him.
"Elder Yun." Demigod Bai Shan likewise said, "Since you have appeared, you should explain the reason to Li Yuan."
Elder Yun nodded and looked at Li Yuan. "Come with me. I'll explain as we walk."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Elder Yun's phantom flew ahead, while Li Yuan followed behind. Neither of them flew particularly quickly.
"The leaders of civilizations, even Demigods, occasionally travel through Plane Passages and leave their Dimensional Planes to venture into the Starry Sky Fissures between planes," Elder Yun said. "Even Master, over the past hundred-plus years, aside from occasionally visiting the Nine Mountains World... also occasionally went to the Starry Sky Fissures."
Li Yuan listened. Within the vast Mortal Domain, among the numerous Dimensional Planes, there existed many regions of Starry Sky Fissures.
The Ancient Immortal Burial Domain, for instance, lay within a region of Starry Sky Fissures.
The gods who had descended in the past, and those divine wars, had all fought and slaughtered one another within the Starry Sky Fissures.
"The imprisoned Demigods in Feixing's many bases were starry sky lifeforms captured by Master," Elder Yun said.
Li Yuan suddenly understood. So that was it.
