Chapter 24

"Move the entire sect to the Star River?"

Zhu Ganglie's expression changed slightly, and he blurted out the question.

"You young man, you don't know, do you? The Taibai Sword Sect cultivates immortal swords, and their strength is formidable. The disciples of the sect act tyrannically, but this time they encountered an even more tyrannical and powerful Wuzhuang Temple.

When the two sects were competing for a primordial spiritual treasure, the Taibai Sword Sect actually slaughtered half of Wuzhuang Temple's disciples, even shattering the soul of the temple's abbot and severely injuring the two elders, Qingfeng and Mingyue.

In the end, Zhenyuanzi, the great immortal who had been cultivating in a small world, was provoked. He captured the Taibai Daoist, the leader of the Taibai Sword Sect, and directly suppressed him in Wuzhuang Temple.

At this time, the three elders of the Taibai Sword Sect—Qinglian Daoist, Taixu Daoist, and Hulu Daoist—feared Zhenyuanzi and used the primordial spiritual treasure to move the entire sect to the Central Star River to avoid the pursuit of Wuzhuang Temple."

Hou Xiufeng said with a delighted expression, somewhat boastful, but this left Zhu Ganglie speechless, his face changing.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie's expression, Hou Xiufeng couldn't help but sneer.

Yan Hanqiu gently glared at her junior sister and smiled, saying, "Junior Brother Zhu, don't take it to heart. When this news appeared, the entire cultivation world was also greatly shocked.

Wuzhuang Temple is a famous major sect in the Three Realms, its reputation unparalleled. Its strength and influence are even feared by the major sects.

The Taibai Sword Sect, though extremely fierce, is only well-known in the Eastern Shengshen Continent. No one expected that the Taibai Sword Sect would be so powerful and tyrannical, actually slaughtering half of Wuzhuang Temple and seizing the primordial spiritual treasure.

So when this news came out, it shook the Three Realms. Wuzhuang Temple suffered severe damage this time, otherwise it wouldn't have provoked Zhenyuanzi's anger."

Hearing this, Zhu Ganglie's heart was filled with shock. Although he didn't know how powerful the Taibai Sword Sect was, he knew how powerful Wuzhuang Temple was. It was said that Zhenyuanzi had the same lifespan as heaven and earth, and even the celestial sages would give him some respect.

The Taibai Sword Sect was too fierce. Suppressing his shock, he asked hesitantly, "May I ask the two senior sisters, what kind of treasure could cause such a huge event? And what is the Star River? Can the Taibai Sword Sect hide in it to avoid the pursuit of Wuzhuang Temple?"

"No one knows what the treasure is, but a primordial spiritual treasure is worth the two sects fighting over. After all, a single magical treasure is enough to suppress the fortune of a small sect, let alone a treasure that has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth.

As for the Star River, it is the countless stars surrounding the vast world of Hongmang."

Yan Hanqiu frowned slightly, as if also pondering what kind of treasure the two sects were fighting over.

At this moment, Hou Xiufeng glanced at Zhu Ganglie with a hint of disdain and said with a teacher-like smile, "I guess you don't know what the Star River is. Let me tell you, the place we live in is called the vast land of Hongmang. Its territory is boundless, with four major continents. Beyond that, there are countless vast lands, each as vast as a billion places.

Even the Eastern Shengshen Continent alone, no one knows how large it is. It is said that a true immortal who can travel ten thousand miles a day would need to fly continuously for several thousand years to cross the Eastern Shengshen Continent.

The southwestern corner of the Eastern Shengshen Continent is also a billion miles wide, and only true immortals can traverse it.

Outside the vast land of Hongmang, there are countless stars. No one knows how many there are.

We divide the stars near the vast land of Hongmang into the four major constellations: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

The countless stars that span these four constellations are called the Star River, also known as the Central Star River.

These star rivers are like a vast river surrounding the vast land of Hongmang, so they are also called the Heavenly River.

The stars in it are like sand in a river, countless, and even celestial immortals cannot count them.

As long as you hide in one of these stars, even a Great Immortal cannot find you.

Even if Zhenyuanzi, the great immortal, found the Taibai Sword Sect, they could just cross the star river and go to the more distant chaotic star river to avoid disaster."

Hou Xiufeng's words greatly broadened Zhu Ganglie's horizons, leaving him in awe. He never imagined that there were such scenes outside the vast land of Hongmang.

But after understanding this, he felt extremely discouraged. If even Zhenyuanzi couldn't find the Taibai Sword Sect, he had no hope at all. It seemed he could only go to the Shenshao Dao, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope, "How can one go to the Central Star River?"

"Hehe, as long as you cultivate to the Golden Core realm and have a top-tier magical treasure, you can cross the layers of heavenly qi and go to the Central Star River."

Hou Xiufeng giggled, revealing a sly smile.

"Junior Sister, don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing this, Zhu Ganglie felt even more disappointed. The Golden Core realm wasn't easy to cultivate, and even if he reached it, why would he go to the Central Star River?

Even if he reached the Golden Core realm, he would still need a magical treasure, which was even harder to obtain. His current magical tools were only at the first or second level of restrictions, and it would take a lot of time and luck to become a magical treasure.

Just as Zhu Ganglie was feeling disheartened, Yan Hanqiu gently scolded Hou Xiufeng, making her stop talking.

"Junior Brother Zhu, don't pay attention to these things. In the star rivers and the Heavenly River outside the domain, there are countless extraterrestrial demons who always want to invade the vast land of Hongmang.

Apart from the four major star palaces occupied by Hongmang cultivators to resist the extraterrestrial demons, the Central Star River is also occupied by extraterrestrial demons to some extent. It's not easy to go there, and even cultivators who have achieved the Soul Spirit realm dare not go to the Central Star River.

Remember, no matter what, don't go to the star rivers."

Yan Hanqiu's words made Zhu Ganglie even more disheartened. Although he didn't know what the extraterrestrial demons were, if even Soul Spirit realm cultivators dared not go, he had no chance at all.

"Since my master is safe, I will go to the Shenshao Dao to find him."

Zhu Ganglie came to his senses and sighed. It seemed he had no other choice now. Fortunately, he had secured the opportunity to join the Shenshao Dao, otherwise he wouldn't know where to go.

"Since Junior Brother wants to return to the sect, I have a gift for you, to help you return safely."

Yan Hanqiu smiled slightly, and a small bronze carriage appeared in her hand, transforming into a bronze war chariot pulled by a bronze war horse. The chariot was adorned with various weapons, looking very impressive.

"This is a small item I obtained by chance. It has one level of restriction, though it doesn't have much power, it is convenient for travel. The journey to the Shenshao Dao is ten thousand miles, and the road is full of dangers. This item will make the journey easier."

Looking at the bronze carriage, Zhu Ganglie hesitated, not wanting to use the war chariot, as it seemed cumbersome.

"Don't be ungrateful. The Shenshao Dao is deep in the Thunder Marsh, surrounded by countless ancient beasts and demon kings. Although you have condensed spiritual energy, it's not enough to cross these places.

Senior Uncle Bingpo didn't take you to the sect, probably because he was busy, but also to test you.

My senior sister's Pagoda Chariot has only one level of restriction, but it comes from an ancient site. As long as you use spiritual energy to activate it, it provides good defense, which will greatly benefit you when entering the Thunder Marsh."

Seeing Zhu Ganglie about to refuse, Hou Xiufeng frowned and said impatiently, pointing her hand, and the Pagoda Chariot landed in Zhu Ganglie's hand.

Hearing Hou Xiufeng's words, Zhu Ganglie became more concerned about the journey to the Shenshao Dao, but he also felt more goodwill towards her, seeing that she had a soft heart despite her harsh words.

He put away the Pagoda Chariot and smiled, bowing to Hou Xiufeng.

"Hmph, I'm not being nice to you. Our two families are close, and I don't want to see Senior Uncle Bingpo's hard-earned disciple perish."

Hou Xiufeng turned her head and huffed.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Yan and Senior Sister Hou. I won't be polite. If I can return to the Shenshao Dao, I will definitely visit the Tianyin Sect to thank you both."

Zhu Ganglie said, and without further ado, he flicked his wrist, and the Tianxing Sword Pill dispersed into a golden aura, protecting him as he cut through the sky.

"It's actually a Sword Pill? Senior Uncle Bingpo values him so much, even refining a Sword Pill for him!"

Seeing Zhu Ganglie ride the Sword Pill away, Hou Xiufeng's expression changed slightly, surprised. Refining a Sword Pill is much harder than refining a flying sword.

In many sects, only the most favored true disciples are given Sword Pills.

Yan Hanqiu also looked serious but smiled, "It seems we were right to befriend him. Our foundation in the sect is weak, and having this junior brother will give us more support in the future."
