An hour or two later.
In the tranquil starry sky.
Qing Huayu stood there, looking exhausted.
The seventh-tier spirit armor on his body showed a slight dimming.
He was no longer the radiant person he once was; his robes were torn and broken, and his face bore several bloodstains.
It looked disheveled and dirty, yet also had a touch of wildness.
His expression showed no sign of dejection.
On the contrary, they were extremely confident and excited.
"Hmph, I, Qing Huayu, am a prodigy in the Eastern Continent, and I am a prodigy in this starry sky!"
"How dare those three mere thieves rob me!"
He looked at the three mangled corpses hanging in front of him.
Qing Huayu her chin, feeling more exhilarated than ever before.
Being ambushed so soon after emerging from the starry sky is truly infuriating.
He could single-handedly kill three cultivators, which was truly an achievement.
My confidence, sense of accomplishment, and pride reached their peak at this moment.
It seemed to reflect his lofty ambitions when he first emerged from the starry sky.
"So what if the starry sky is vast?"
"So what if Hundred Schools in the Central Continent? I, Qing Huayu, will make a name for myself in this starry sky."
"The day we return to the Eastern Wasteland will be the day Hundred Schools are exterminated!"
Taking a deep breath, Qing Huayu forced herself to stay upright.
He raised his hand and collected the broken Law Artifact around him, as well as the storage Law Treasure of the three cultivators who had Bandit Cultivator.
Killing three cultivators in a row was a remarkable feat for him.
Although physically and mentally exhausted, I felt even more excited when I reaped the spoils.
He summoned the three people's storage Law Treasure to his front.
Qing Huayu held each of them one by one, breaking open the marks on them.
After careful searching, each acquired Law Artifact artifact was transferred into the user's storage Law Treasure.
His confidence and joy grew with each passing moment.
In his view, today's events were a very good omen.
With his talent, he is among the most outstanding talents in this starry sky.
While not invincible among its peers, it can even turn the tables against a well-coordinated three-person attack.
How could I not be happy?
In particular, this Bandit Cultivator's wealth was unexpectedly substantial.
The Top-Grade Spirit Stone alone amount to no less than a million.
Besides these, there are also Law Artifact, elixirs, spiritual materials, and other miscellaneous items.
The three of them have a combined net worth of tens of millions.
For him, it was a great success.
But when he was confiscating the last storage Law Treasure, he seemed to see something.
Suddenly, with a surprised exclamation, he stopped what he was doing.
"Huh."
"This is?"
Qing Huayu frowned, his gaze falling on a Jade Slip.
The Jade Slip contained nothing else but a detailed set of coordinates.
"Starting from where the sun rises in the east, travel west for 3.6 million li, using the sun as a base, then travel east for 8.8 million li, crossing twelve layers of chaotic void currents, where you will see two stars entwined like a ring..."
This sequence of locations clearly caught Qing Huayu's attention.
He didn't know where he was.
But I had a nagging feeling that perhaps I could find a place to stay here.
That's perfect, I figured out the direction.
Looking at the distant Sun Star, Qing Huayu felt that she was not too far from the coordinates recorded there.
Now we have a purpose.
"Fine, since we have no direction anyway, we might as well go and take a look here."
"If there is a place to stay, then we can rest and recuperate."
With a direction in mind, the rest becomes much easier.
Qing Huayu collected the bodies and retrieved all the items left at the scene.
After confirming that nothing was missed, there was no rush to set off.
Out of caution, he first took the elixir and then sat cross-legged to recuperate.
After getting himself back into good shape, he set off again.
After this battle...
Qing Huayu felt as if she had been reborn, her heart filled with no fear, only pride and confidence.
It flew towards the coordinates recorded on the map.
However, who would have thought that the appearance of these three Bandit Cultivator seemed to have turned on some kind of switch of misfortune.
Qing Huayu had only been gone for a few days when he encountered the Void Return Calamity again.
This time there was only one person, but the person who came was Late Void Return.
After a fierce battle, he finally killed and captured the man.
However, just after tidying up...
A few days later, he was robbed and murdered.
This group is quite large, with Void Return Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages.
Like bandits in the starry sky.
I followed him all the way, and we fought all the way.
After finally beheading the leader of the Void Return bandits, the remaining cultivators scattered like birds and beasts.
Every few days thereafter, they encountered even more problems.
Either some kind of thief cultivator will appear, albeit in a variety of ways.
It could be a suspected ruin, but in reality, a cosmic crisis disguised as a trap.
Or it could be a sudden natural disaster.
The starry sky gale suddenly condensed, transforming into a tornado, which even he, with his seventh-tier spirit armor, dared not withstand head-on.
They dodged the flying creatures, covered in dust and dirt.
They cautiously explored their way forward, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.
In just a few months, it was even more perilous than Qing Huayu's cultivation over hundreds or nearly a thousand years.
The constant fighting and bloodshed had left him physically and mentally exhausted.
However, it was intended to subtly increase his cultivation, allowing him to break through to the Middle Void Return, and to strengthen his Dao heart.
Moreover, with each victory and each escape from danger, his confidence soared.
I felt like a genius, overcoming all difficulties and conquering the stars!
It was amidst these multiple rewards and torments.
Finally, he spotted the binary stars.
"This is... Twin Star Ferry!"
"The location of a major power in the cosmos!"
Looking at the enormous twin stars before him, Qing Huayu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He already knew that the place marked by these coordinates was called Twin Star Ferry.
It is a Mahayana power in the Jichen Star Domain.
It is also a Star Ferry array connecting to the Bone Mountain Immortal Market.
"It is said that the Bone Mountain Immortal Market is even more prosperous than this place."
"There are also many teleportation arrays there, which can take you to other planets and continents."
He silently pondered his future plans.
Qing Huayu slowly approached Twin Star Ferry.
The Blood Qi emanating from him naturally caused the other cultivators to keep their distance.
Sensing this, Qing Huayu couldn't help but smile.
Even in this starry sky, I am an invincible genius among those at the Void Return stage!
"Even those at the Void Return, even those at the Void Return Great Perfection, might not be a match for me!"
Along the way, Qing Huayu has fought countless battles.
He had already defeated Late Void Return across borders, which boosted his confidence to the max.
The way others looked at him made him feel that this was the only right way to do it.
In his moment of pride, he overheard several passing monks whispering among themselves.
"Oh, I heard that the Bone Mountain Supreme Immortal Seed Battle will begin in another year."
"This year's event is said to be even more exciting than previous ones!"
"Of course I've heard about it. Who doesn't know about such an important event? Why do you want to participate too?"
"Me? No, no, no. Only those with the strength of Void Return cultivator can enter this place."
"If you really want to achieve something, it's hard to be invincible across different levels!"
"..."
The sounds of discussion echoed all around.
It's not just these few people who are saying it.
After entering the Twin Star Ferry, discussions about the Bone Mountain Supreme Immortal Seed Battle and the Void Return Realm being invincible among peers became significantly more frequent.
Upon hearing this, Qing Huayu paused slightly, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face.
" Supreme Immortal Seed Battle? Invincible among those at the Void Return?"
"Hmm... I am qualified to participate!"
