Beneath a dazzling starry sky, fragments of a vast ocean shimmer.
The Quasi-Emperor Law permeated the air, enough to Shrouding the Heavens. A group of figures surpassed the speed of light, flying across one galaxy after another, chasing each other among the Sun Moon, and stars.
"A device that allows flight without magic, and fuel... could it be something similar to an energy crystal? It must be very valuable in your world!" Qian Renxue's eyes were round, and she had now suppressed her divinity, appearing both divine and ethereal.
That touch of purple looked very mysterious.
A girl is ultimately a creature full of doubts, with little questions in her mind that she can't quite explain. If these questions were arranged and combined, they could form a dense matrix that could fill the entire universe, and would inspire boys to soar with enthusiasm even more than a sky full of stars.
Of course, Liu Bei wouldn't dare to do anything like stealing apricots by chiseling a wall. Not to mention that Xiao Yan is undoubtedly the Supreme genius of the younger generation, the fact that the latter came from the same home planet as him and once lived on the same land was enough to make it impossible.
He tirelessly answered Qian Renxue's questions, and he understood that the reason she was so interested was probably, more or less, because of Xiao Yan.
If you love him, you should think about him more, about everything about him, including where he was born.
"In the future, we'll go to Sanya for vacation, go skiing in Canada, see the ancient relics in Mogao Caves, and see the unchanging traces of time in Dunhuang!" Qian Renxue hugged Xiao Yan's forearm, her mouth curving into a crescent moon, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with life, looking very cute.
Xiao Yan nodded gently, "Definitely!"
Doudou wandering, have I somehow ended up back in my original world?
They even encountered figures from the same planet, including Ye Fan, the most prominent Sacred Body in the entire universe at the time, who also came from Earth.
"Whether this Earth is the same as that Earth remains to be discussed and verified in person." Yao Lao, who was traveling along the Milky Way, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Xiao Yan's thoughts and reminding him.
They have already experienced the repetitiveness of the world.
It wouldn't be strange if one were to travel to a different Earth than the one from before.
"Yes, at least I never saw any Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, nor did I witness the so-called Purple Qi rising eastward from Hangu Pass and embarking on the Starry Sky Ancient Road. Perhaps it was all just a dream. I was full of expectations, but in the end, it may all be for nothing."
"Life is but a dream," Xiao Yan murmured.
Seeing Xiao Yan's eyes dimming, Qian Renxue felt a pang of pity. She quietly came to his side and gently stroked his back, her voice as soft as a phoenix's, "Don't overthink it. Teacher doesn't necessarily mean despair, but rather that it needs further discussion. Perhaps things will turn out as you think. Let's go home together and meet your parents."
Xiao Yan raised his head, his gaze meeting the girl's pupils, and suddenly he laughed.
He gently stroked Qian Renxue's nose affectionately, saying, "They are our parents."
The girl blushed instantly. The sudden spring-like beauty overshadowed the Sun Moon, and stars in the vast universe. Even the changing of galaxies and the demise of stars could not compare to the stunning smile of the woman before her.
"The book says that the best scenery in the world is not the clouds and sunset on the horizon, nor the mountains and flowing water, but the most beautiful blush on a woman's face when she meets her beloved." Liu Bei turned his head away, thinking that the book's words were true, while in his heart he read "The bright moonlight before my bed" to soothe his heart that had eaten millions of tons of dog food.
As for why it's "moonlight before my bed"...
Perhaps it was because he had even forgotten the title of the poem, "Thoughts on a Quiet Night," that this phrase, this poem, came to mind from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time, as if remembering something, he shouted, "Brother Xiao! Do you know Li Bai?"
" Li Bai!?" Xiao Yan nodded and said, " Li Bai, the Banished Immortal immortal, is a well-known figure. He is the greatest talent of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Perhaps Earth is different, but surely there can't be multiple Li Bai, right? Maybe your Earth is the place I came from, the same mother planet!" Liu Bei deduced with some delight.
Xiao Yan nodded. "That is indeed possible."
"Even when I left Hangu Pass, the list of departing cultivators left by Master Yin Xi included not only the earliest few who were suspected to be Ancient Great Emperor, but also Jiang Taigong, Xu Fu, Li Bai, and others."
"Perhaps Li Bai were still alive, and we would still have a chance to meet them!"
Liu Bei's series of words startled even Xiao Yan. The Banished Immortal Li Bai had also embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road —had he truly come to cultivate immortality?!
"A figure from the Tang Dynasty, more than a thousand years ago. If he really embarked on the path of cultivation, he would surely be at least a Great Sage by now!" Xiao Yan thought of many things in a row.
Of the Earth's past prodigies, quite a few may have embarked on the ancient path and entered the world of cultivation.
Perhaps we will meet again in the future.
As the group was about to leave, the sound of clashing weapons suddenly came from ahead, followed by the heavy footsteps of thousands of people, the clanging of thick armor, and the gleaming cold light on their iron bodies.
In the vast expanse of the universe, an army was marching forward.
"Who are they?!" Liu Bei exclaimed.
An army capable of traversing the universe must possess at least Saint-level strength. Such a powerful force would be an undeniable force on any planet, perhaps even rivaling some established powers.
"Huh!? No, apart from the few commanders leading the group and holding the iron flag, the rest of them had no aura. They were just rows and rows of corpses!" Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with fire. It was the Heavenly Eye, which was awakened innately by the Origin Bright Flame and could see through illusions and see through everything!
At this moment, the commanders suddenly turned around.
A deathly light emanated from several pairs of dark eyes, transforming into beams of black light that pierced through like black holes!
The Yao Lao snorted coldly and casually smashed it into powder.
The commanders were startled and turned to leave, their iron banners fluttering, revealing the names and marks etched on them with the marks of countless years.
" The Underworld!"
The Yao Lao squinted. Had he encountered the legendary Black and White Impermanence?!
"So the hell in novels really exists! There's actually Underworld! Are these people the minions of King of Hell? Who are they going to take lives on this large-scale expedition?!" Xiao Yan's mouth dropped open. He had actually encountered the Underworld that existed in mythology.
"Wrong!" Liu Bei interrupted Yao Lao and Xiao Yan's speculation, shouting, "This is not the Underworld from the novels of the Strange Tales, but a force in the universe that walks in the darkness and has existed for a very long time. There are rumors that they are going to take the life of the Sacred Body Ye Fan!"
"A force!?" Xiao Yan was speechless. He had thought he had really encountered something legendary or mythical. It seems that everything must be judged by science.
"They're trying to escape!" said the Yao Lao.
Upon seeing that Yao Lao a quasi -Quasi-Emperor, the people of the Underworld immediately knew they were no match for him. However, having already made their move, they feared Yao Lao's retaliation and thus activated several array platforms, attempting to leave.
"Follow them; they might go directly to the Sacred Body, saving us a lot of travel time!"
