Chapter 411
Moreover, she could also inquire about the news of the Innate Osmanthus.
"Okay, but I need to make some arrangements within the boundary first."
After a moment's thought, Xiao Minghuang agreed.
"Of course, no problem!"
Seeing that Xiao Minghuang agreed, Fang Nan's face lit up with joy.
"Since you've come, fellow Daoist, you are an honored guest. Please rest in Zhongji for a while so that I can fulfill my duty as a host!"
Xiao Minghuang smiled slightly.
"Haha... then I'll have to bother you!"
Fang Nan didn't refuse and readily agreed with a smile.
Soon, Xiao Minghuang led Fang Nan back to the Ziwei Divine Palace.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."
Xiao Minghuang arranged for her subordinates to entertain her briefly before leaving the Divine Palace to bid farewell to Ye Ruoshui and the others, and to make some arrangements.
"Your Highness, how long will your trip take?"
Ye Ruoshui inquired.
"It's hard to say..."
Xiao Minghuang shook her head. If she were to be granted a title and return to the Heavenly Realm, it wouldn't be long. But if she had other matters to attend to, it would probably be a long time before she could return.
"That..."
Ye Ruoshui wanted to suggest that someone go, but then she realized that she was only at the Earth Immortal level and that even if she went, she would only be a hindrance to Xiao Minghuang, so she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Your Highness, please take care on your journey."
"Um!"
In the year 7375 of the Star Calendar, the arrival of the Sudden Chaos was imminent.
Even though Yu Tianyi knew what was going to happen, he was powerless to resist the overwhelming tide of the times.
Just as he had begun to resign himself to his fate, the cheat code that had been activated over a thousand years ago finally arrived. However, the game began with the fall of Luofu and the successful completion of the Huanlong timeline.
"You haven't even settled things in real life, and you're asking me to save the world?"
Having lurked in Luofu for decades, controlling hundreds of millions of living beings, and turning the entire Immortal Ship Alliance into its main arena, Huanlong...
The locust tyrant Taizyuros successfully wreaked havoc across the galaxy, defeated the gods, and ensured that no 'god' would be born for tens of thousands of years afterward.
Awakened anew by the Holy Church of Order, bringing everything to a state of perfect, mechanical operation, the Heavenly Dao 'Taiyi' that dominates the universe...
The 'branches' are reversed from the moment of destruction, the timeline is reversed, leading all realms toward the primordial god of the end, the 'Last King'.
The apocalypse of locust plagues, the heavens of order, the end of time reversal... Each level is incredibly difficult. Fortunately, this cheat is quite powerful; leveling up by defeating monsters is standard practice, and the rewards for completing the levels are generous.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already ascended to the position of 'god,' looking down upon the world.
However, it seems that this is just the beginning.
522. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Xiao Minghuang could see Ye Ruoshui's reluctance to part, so she gently kissed her lips and turned to leave.
Afterwards, Xiao Minghuang went to say goodbye to Lin Wanqiu and the other sisters one by one...
Before long, she returned to the Ziwei Divine Palace.
Fang Nan had been waiting there for a long time.
"Let's go!"
"Fellow Daoist, please!"
Immediately afterwards, two faint lights drifted out from the Ziwei Divine Palace and disappeared into the deep space of the universe, their whereabouts unknown.
The vast universe is boundless.
The Zhongji Great World is extremely far from the Celestial Realm. If one were to travel there by flying alone, it would likely take an unknown number of years.
Therefore, people usually travel through teleportation arrays.
However, there is no teleportation array directly connecting to the Celestial Realm in the Cangming Star Domain. One must first take the Taixu Flying Boat to the Lan Que Star Domain, which is closer to the Celestial Realm, where there is a teleportation array that leads directly to the Longevity Heaven Realm.
Soon.
Xiao Minghuang and Fang Nan resisted the main world of the Cangming Star Domain, the Cangming Great World.
The Cangming Great World is located at the very center of the Cangming Star Domain, surrounded by several smaller great worlds, forming a vast star cluster.
This is the most prosperous world in the entire Cangming Star Domain, with countless lineages and numerous cultivators.
"Among the more than seven hundred star domains under the jurisdiction of the Longevity Heaven Realm, the Cangming Star Domain can only be considered a medium-sized star domain. Because it lacks a Celestial King-level expert to guard it, no teleportation array has ever been set up there."
Fang Nan explained.
Xiao Minghuang nodded. To activate the cosmic teleportation array, one needed the power of a Celestial King.
According to the usual classification in the celestial realm, any star field guarded by a Celestial King can be classified as a large star field, while a star field without a Celestial King is classified as a medium-sized star field if it is guarded by a Celestial Lord, and as a small star field if it is guarded by a True Immortal.
As for those who don't even have star domains...
The celestial realm does not cast its gaze upon them; they are collectively referred to as the Wilderness Starfield.
According to this standard, the Cangming Star Domain is a medium-sized starfield.
Subsequently, led by Fang Nan, the two arrived at the Starry Sky Ferry in the Cangming World.
Although it's called a ferry crossing, it's actually a small asteroid.
It floats outside the Cangming World, revolving around the main world. The area above is desolate, with little scenery, except for a pitch-black city. Above it is an enormous Taixu Flying Boat, as large as a small asteroid.
On the deck of this Taixu Flying Boat stood two large flags. The larger one read "Longevity Heaven Realm," and the smaller one read "Cangming Star Domain."
"Fellow Daoist, this is the Taixu Flying Boat specially designed for traveling between various star fields. It was uniformly designed and manufactured by the Supreme Heavenly Court and distributed to various star fields. Its defense is extremely strong and can withstand Cosmic Storm below level three. Even ordinary Immortal Kings cannot easily break through it!"
"The airship is powered by a single immortal crystal, which not only provides power but also continuously supplies the passengers with oxygen. In addition, it is fully equipped with all kinds of living and entertainment facilities!"
Fang Nan laughed and said, "Even by flying boat, it would take several months. Please enjoy your time here!"
"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Fang."
Xiao Minghuang cupped his hands and smiled.
"Please, fellow Daoist."
Fang Nan smiled and nodded.
The two then leaped onto the deck.
From the outside, it looks like a giant, enclosed spaceship.
But once I stepped onto the deck, it felt like I had entered a completely different world.
Above the deck of the airship lay a vast expanse of land.
The scenery was picturesque, with clear waters, lush mountains, and fragrant flowers; one could not tell that they were on a spaceship.
"Fellow Daoist, this way please!"
Upon hearing Fang Nan's voice, Xiao Minghuang turned her head and looked in the direction she pointed. She saw a magnificent golden gate standing there, and through the gate, she could vaguely see a bustling city scene.
"Um."
Xiao Minghuang nodded, then stepped into the gate.
Instantly.
The original natural scenery has disappeared, replaced by magnificent architectural complexes.
These buildings stand side by side, spaced far apart, appearing orderly and exuding an atmosphere of peace and harmony.
Looking around, one sees towering pavilions and magnificent buildings, exquisite structures with carved beams and painted pillars, some adorned with plaques, others with runes, and still others with dragons and phoenixes.
Looking around, one sees people coming and going everywhere.
Most of these people are just ordinary cultivators in the realm of humanity.
Only in a few directions could Xiao Minghuang detect a trace of Immortal Qi.
There are restaurants, gambling dens, teahouses, medicine shops, weapon shops, spiritual material shops, and even a rather large auction house.
Looking at this scene, no one would doubt that this is a real city.
After their initial surprise, the two went directly to the largest restaurant in the city and settled down.
What followed was an uneventful journey.
During this time, Fang Nan invited Xiao Minghuang out for entertainment.
The first time, she did not refuse and gladly accepted the invitation. The two participated in an auction at the auction house, Xiao Minghuang bought several rare treasures from the heavens and had a good time.
The second time, Fang Nan took her to a gambling den in the city. Xiao Minghuang made a small profit of spirit stones, but she was not very interested.
The third time, they went to the most luxurious pavilion in the city. At first, Xiao Minghuang thought that Fang Nan wanted to introduce her to some friends, so she didn't pay much attention.
But soon, some handsome young men walked in, each throwing her flirtatious glances.
Xiao Minghuang finally understood, politely declined, and asked the young men to leave.
But after a while...
But then a group of beautiful young women gracefully entered. Xiao Minghuang's expression darkened further, and without further ceremony, she left.
After that, Fang Nan came to invite her again, but Xiao Minghuang refused this time.
Inside the room.
After declining Fang Nan's invitation once again, Xiao Minghuang pondered for a moment.
"This fellow Daoist Fang seems eager to get closer to me..."
Although she didn't know why Fang Nan did this, whatever his reasons, it was none of her business and she didn't need to pay attention to it.
This is not because she is unwilling to be kind to others, but because she has some problems herself.
In fact, ever since she transformed from Human Immortal to an immortal and officially entered the Immortal Dao Domain, she had noticed that some kind of change seemed to be gradually occurring within her body.
It was a faint suction force, appearing from somewhere within her body, constantly absorbing her Immortal Qi.
Although the amount absorbed was negligible, it never stopped. Even when she wasn't communicating with the Immortal Qi from the heavens, this strange suction force would spontaneously drive her Dao to communicate with the heavens and attract Immortal Qi.
That would be terrifying.
This is equivalent to the suction force, which is beyond her control, driving her path to act autonomously without her interference.
It was as if a second will had emerged within her!
It's simply unbelievable that a Celestial Lord couldn't even fully master his own Great Dao and Immortal Dao Law!
Unbelievable!
What's even more frightening is that this suction force seems to be increasing over time.
If the original suction force was like the amount of Immortal Qi lost as thin as a hair, it has now expanded to the size of two hairs.
Whether it's the former or the latter, although they are insignificant to her now, she fears that the hidden worries brought about by this attraction will eventually reach a point where she will find it unbearable.
"Where does this suction come from?"
Xiao Minghuang was puzzled. She was well-read and knowledgeable, yet she knew nothing about this situation.
At that very moment.
Rumble!
A violent tremor suddenly struck, causing the entire airship to shake.
"What happened?!"
