Chapter 170 A Galaxy of Stars

In the night fog, a group of young men and women were discussing excitedly, filled with longing for the land of Kunjun. Of course, what they talked about most was the auspicious beast.

A young man in yellow poured cold water on the situation, saying, “What are you all so excited about? Do you think a mythical beast is so easy to kill? Besides, it’s an ancient beast that has existed for so long without any problems. It’s a being at the very top of the pyramid.”

Many people nodded in agreement, agreeing with his statement.

Clearly, this group had done their homework before even going to Kunlun and knew quite a bit about the place.

A young woman in green spoke up: “This time there should be a chance. The seniors from various dojos and academies will join forces, which can be considered a pioneering battle.”

The auspicious beast dwells outside the forbidden land. For many years, various academies and schools have wanted to explore that area, but they have always been very cautious. This time, however, they seem to have made up their minds.

The outer region of the Jedi is a plateau, rich in various medicinal herbs, and even contains some secret realms, but no one dares to approach it on ordinary days. Besides auspicious beasts, there are also various demons there.

We all have a high probability of getting a chance to participate and eliminate the outcasts. This can be considered a form of pioneering. Those who perform exceptionally well can receive the blood of auspicious beasts, thereby enhancing their talents, or even directly achieving Nirvana.

Many people were surprised; was Kunjun really that big? Qin Ming was the same, finding it somewhat repulsive.

“Kunjun is a large and unique region, with three extremely dangerous areas, and the density of these areas is unprecedented.”

At the same time, the presence of ten family temples and a higher education institution is also quite outrageous. Furthermore, the existence of two blessed lands there is even more unexpected.

Because of the abundance of dangerous terrain, even though the three great dynasties of Yu, Gan, and Rui all bordered that area, they dared not claim that territory.

According to the “Records of the Ten Continents in the Seas – Juku Continent”, Kunjun is located in the Xu region of the Western Sea and the Hai region of the Northern Sea, 130,000 li away from the shore.

Qin Ming was lost in thought when he overheard the two girls next to him discussing “The Record of the Ten Continents Within the Seas,” and he realized that it included parts of the deepest parts of the Night Mist World.

“The Great Age of Opening Up hasn’t even arrived yet, and we’re already going to be pioneering the wilderness. I’m really looking forward to it! I’m willing to be a trailblazer!” A hot-blooded young man in black rubbed his hands together, looking very excited.

Someone laughed and said, “Wake up, kid. You’re so impulsive. You might be one of the first cannon fodder.” “Auspicious beast, shall we kill it?” a girl in white whispered.

Someone told me: “When it was born in its early years, purple clouds came from the east, so it was called an auspicious beast. In fact, it was more harmful than those ancient demons.”

Like a mythical creature, despite bearing the word “god,” its appearance often foretells great calamity. This auspicious beast, in fact, is one of Kunling’s Ten Evils.

At this moment, a woman transmitted her voice with great spiritual insight: “Passengers heading to Kunjun, please note that boarding has begun on your Vermilion Bird spaceship.”

Immediately, the teenagers who had been discussing the matter all set off towards a huge, fiery red spaceship in the distance.

Sure enough, a large group of teenagers were almost all traveling on the same boat, and more peers appeared in the distance, some from the VIP lounge and some who had just arrived.

The ship is enormous, and you can see intricate runes engraved on it.

As Qin Ming boarded the ship, he saw people transporting strange energy sources. They were all very square and orderly, some glowing silver-white, others golden and crystalline, and quite beautiful.

If you didn’t know beforehand, it would be hard to imagine that these were all pieces of wood cut from trees.

“Passengers, the Vermilion Bird spaceship departed from Qixia City and landed at Kunjun Giant City, covering a distance of 21,500 li.” Compared to higher-level aliens, this speed is too slow.

People were already prepared, and they weren’t in a rush to catch the ship; they had another purpose. During this time, the Vermilion Bird would hover in the night sky, perhaps to guide them to “Tianhua”!

That was the spiritual liquid that the elders of the secluded lands used to drink as water.

Three-quarters of an hour later, the Vermilion Bird spaceship took off and gradually disappeared into the thick darkness of the night.

Looking around, there were more than 500 people in the cabin, at least 400 of whom were young and energetic, making the cabin very lively.

In addition, there are premium cabins with beds and bathrooms.

However, for practitioners, the three great skills are sufficient; an ordinary seat is enough. (Reading and searching for Xiuting)

Qin Ming noticed that the ship ticket Meng Xinghai gave him included a regular seat in addition to the first-class lounge access, suggesting that he wanted to experience more of the ship’s amenities.

He sat in the large cabin for a while, listening to the lively discussions among his peers, and learned a lot about Kunjun. After talking about the auspicious beast, some of the teenagers mentioned aliens.

“After the great expansion, most of the alien species are able to coexist peacefully with us.” Someone nodded and said, “Of course, those who cannot coexist are considered demons and will soon be eliminated.”

“Don’t laugh. This topic is actually very heavy. Looking back, we were almost at the brink of our race’s survival. We eventually managed to stabilize the situation, so it’s natural that we have to be ruthless when dealing with demons.”

Some people cite examples such as giant beasts and mountain-sized plants that were extremely dangerous in the past, which are no longer seen, as a result of fierce battles.

“Now, even the strange creatures deep in the mountains will have conflicts with people outside the mountains, but there will definitely be no more who dare to massacre a city, otherwise they would definitely be wiped out.”

Therefore, many outcasts are now actively transforming into human form and integrating into our society.

Oh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t expect to be sitting next to a fox fairy. I’m really offended.

The boy, who was speaking, then noticed that the girl sitting next to him was a beautiful girl with a snow-white fox tail.

“It’s alright. There are quite a few humans who are transforming into beasts and walking the path of alienation. We are intertwined, and this is normal.”

The fox woman was very calm, with fair skin and a white fox tail that gave her a mysterious and extraordinary aura. Then she continued, “Actually, even among your Trailblazers, there are beast-transformers.”

Well, some of us outsiders have become human, and have instead become your patriarchs and seniors. It’s hard to distinguish between humans and outsiders now.

Immediately, someone objected, disliking such talk, saying, “Impossible! How could there be an anomaly among the pioneers and patriarchs?”

Qin Ming listened quietly, and although he couldn’t believe everything, he still gained some knowledge.

Meanwhile, outside Crimson Cloud City, a sparrow carrying a small bundle flew into the mountains, muttering to itself, “Mountain Lord, this little sparrow is also going to study.”

Its gaze was firm as it said, “I will move back and go with my companions to the blessed land to follow Lord Purple Lightning Beast. They say that Kunjun has auspicious blood and may go there. I will follow and see.”

The night fog was thick, and the massive Vermilion Bird spaceship, with its intricate runes flowing through it, traversed the vast sky, stirring up gusts of wind.

After a brief debate, many of the young men in the cabin began to make friends and dared to travel alone to study 20,000 miles away. They were not like bean sprouts in a greenhouse.

Of course, youthful spirits inevitably lead to boasting, arguing, and impulsive arguments.

A group of boys naturally gathered around the several exceptionally beautiful and striking young girls, asking them which dojo or academy they were going to.

“I was defeated in an important competition and failed to enter the academy I most wanted to attend,” a young man in black said, sounding quite disappointed.

“Brother, where are you going?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

The black-clad youth, Sun Teng, sighed, “I have no choice but to go to the Tianpeng Dojo.” The surrounding crowd immediately fell silent; some wanted to hit him.

One person said indignantly, “Tianpeng Dojo is also ranked at the top, what else are you dissatisfied with? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?”

Legend has it that the Tianpeng Dojo is guarded by a real Golden-Winged Roc, whose cultivation is extremely terrifying, which shows how profound the dojo’s foundation is.

Sun Teng said, “Actually, I wanted to go to the Origin Academy more, but unfortunately, I encountered the freakish Eighty-One and was defeated by him. After that, I lost the will to fight again.”

Many people wanted to beat him up. This guy was definitely showing off with a sigh on purpose, because the Tianpeng Dojo was really strong. The “abnormal eighty-one” he mentioned was that terrifying young man who traversed eighty-one cities. Now, his nickname was far more famous than his real name.

With so many young people, there were bound to be some formidable figures. Some people didn’t tolerate him. Qiu Long, the yellow-clad youth who had been discussing the auspicious beast earlier, calmly said, “I’ll go check out the Origin Academy for you.”

Those around him were astonished, then filled with envy. Sun Teng didn’t want to say anything more.

“The Origin Academy, the Immortal Path, the New Life Path, the Path of the Secret Cult, and the Path of the Heretics—they all seem very powerful, don’t they?” a girl in blue asked with a bright smile.

Qiu Long nodded and said, “That’s right. My Immortal Path and the Path of Rebirth run parallel, so choosing that one is the most suitable option.”

“Brother, you’re really amazing! Let’s get acquainted. My name is Lu Xu, and I’m heading to the Flying Immortal Academy.” A tall young man spoke up.

Qiu Long sighed, “Brother, you are truly remarkable. The Flying Immortal Academy doesn’t recruit many disciples, and they are all top figures who can embark on the path to immortality. They are suspected to have a patriarch-level figure supporting them.”

Many people’s eyes have changed; you really can’t compare people.

“Lu Xu, you wouldn’t happen to be a pure Yang body, would you? There are nine suns in your name.” A girl in white blinked her big eyes and asked.

The tall young man, Lu Xu, waved his hand and said, “I’m not that freak. His name is Lu Dao, and he should have entered Taiyi Academy.”

“Greetings, gentlemen. My name is Qi Ming. I follow the path of Tantric Buddhism and am heading to the place of refuge from calamity.” A handsome young man stood up to greet him.

Lu Xu exclaimed in surprise, “Qi Ming, I’ve heard of you, a prodigy on the path of esoteric Buddhism. I never expected to meet you here today.” As people from the Immortal Path and the Esoteric Path appeared one after another and got to know each other, the people of the New Life Path seemed to be suffering from bloodline suppression, gradually…

Why is it chirping?

Because, years later, when their spirits have been worn down, they might go and seek refuge with these peers, becoming their golden-armored or jade-armored guards.

Qin Ming discovered that there were indeed powerful figures among them, with extremely strong spiritual light and exceptionally rich divine wisdom, clearly aiming for the blood of the auspicious beast.

He even keenly sensed that a woman completely covered up possessed an astonishingly high level of yang energy in her consciousness, somewhat extraordinary. Could she be a pure yang body? Soon, the woman left, and the person sitting next to her breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, “Do you know who that was just now?” “Who?” Many people were intrigued.

“A descendant of a road pioneer from the remote and desolate land!”

“Hiss!” A collective gasp filled the air. “How did you know?” someone asked.

“Because my elder brother cultivates in Yangtu. I’ve been there and seen her from afar. When she cultivates, she’s like a small sun shining brightly!”

Not long after, six more people got up and headed to the high-class cabin.

Subsequently, their identities were revealed one after another: one was the granddaughter of a senior immortal, and the other was a descendant of a high-ranking member of the secret sect. All of them were young people with great backgrounds and unfathomable strength.

One of the purple-clad youths was extremely excited. He told those around him that the masked woman sitting next to him was likely a renowned and favored immortal, because someone had inadvertently revealed her name when they asked her to leave together.

It is said that this girl developed a spiritual awareness when she was three or four years old, truly a seed close to immortality!

“How are we, the new students, supposed to survive? How are we supposed to compete?” Sun Teng, the young man in black, looked up and sighed sincerely this time.

After those people left, it sparked a heated discussion. Everyone was surprised that so many peers with such impressive backgrounds were going to Kunjun City, just like them.

After listening for a moment, Qin Ming picked up the night report on his seat and began to read it.

“Huh?” He was surprised. The front page was actually given to a young man. He had heard about him more than once. He was Ling Yu, the young master from Liuguang City.

Back in Crimson Cloud City, Yu Que had told him many secrets. The purple-eyed crow Qin Ming met in Black and White Mountain thought highly of him.

However, Master Wu and the woman Tang Jin, who was watching the fight in a fur coat, chose someone else as their teacher’s successor.

“A young master, testing his sword in a hundred cities, undefeated, perhaps he could be called a young ancestor.” The night report praised Ling Yu highly; his record was indeed terrifying.

You’re following him too? This guy is amazing. Most importantly, his teacher is even more legendary, about to become a patriarch…

“A master-level figure!” The girl next to Qin Ming was very lively and talkative, and she started talking to herself.

Qin Ming nodded. He had long heard of the old master in Liuguang City, who was the most likely person in this era to become a patriarch. This person was pioneering a path, combining the two methods to move forward, and had been quite successful so far.

According to the information Yu Que learned from the Purple-Eyed Crow, the young Grandmaster Ling Yu is likely not the strongest disciple of Liuguang City.

As Tang Jin had said, the people she selected for her teacher were like the blazing sun waiting to break through the black clouds, but they should not be exposed too early, lest they incur the jealousy of the heavens.

“Just how strong is a disciple taught by a quasi-patriarch?” Qin Ming muttered to himself.

The girl in green beside him chuckled, “You’ll find out soon enough. Rumor has it that a woman in black and a purple-eyed raven are taking Ling Yu to test his swordsmanship across the land, honing the new techniques passed down by his master. They’ll probably be arriving in our Kunjun City very soon.”

Qin Ming said, “Judging from this, Kunjun City will not be peaceful. There were already several young men and women with considerable backgrounds, and now…”

“If a young grandmaster were to fight here, it would certainly be quite a spectacle.”

“It’s very likely the young ancestor!” the girl in blue corrected. “Yes!” Qin Ming smiled and nodded.

(There’s more to come!)
