Chapter 220: Crap, I'm about to be taken into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner

Friend?

Fu Guang Daoist's gaze naturally shifted to the ground, a dense demonic red light was rushing toward the flying boat.

Lin... Lin Daoyou, is... is that your friend?

Fu Guang Daoist was stunned.

The arrival not only bore a torrent of demonic aura, but also a cultivation realm far superior to his, at least the Legend Third Realm, perhaps even Chuandao Sijing.

Yes.

Lin Chuan smiled and nodded.

But this smile grew increasingly grim and terrifying in Fu Guang Daoist's eyes.

This fellow... is a Demon Cultivator?

Intentionally baiting me?

No wonder when the other broke through the Legend realm, the resulting anomalies were somewhat nether.

All sorts of Xiu Luo, Corpse King, Ye Cha, and myriad hellish specters emerged.

Not a pal, you're really a Demon Cultivator?

In a brief moment of thought, the figure stepping on Red Lotus had already landed on the flying boat.

It was a Monkey.

Holding a Golden Long Staff in its hand.

Grandmaster.

The Monkey didn't look at Fu Guang Daoist at all; upon seeing Lin Chuan, it was ecstatic, "Grandmaster, you have finally awakened!"

Fu Guang Daoist was bewildered.

Grandmaster?

Awakened?

What kind of wild words are these?

Could Lin Chuan be the reincarnation of some ancient demon beast?

Otherwise, why would a demon Monkey call me Grandmaster and speak of awakening?

Whoa!

I won't be sent into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, will I?

Fu Guang Daoist grew more terrified as he thought, so frightened he couldn't move, his face turned deathly pale.

"Accompany me to the Star Domain."

Lin Chuan glanced at the Monkey, "You've broken through Chuandao Sijing."

"Just broke through not long ago."

The Monkey scratched its ears and chin, feeling no pride,

because it was well aware that the so‑called Legend Fourth Realm, before that Zi Yi Nü, was still like an ant.

If it wants to serve Grandmaster, it still has to work hard.

"Grandmaster, what are you going to do in the Star Domain?"

"Some business."

Lin Chuan said no more, turning his head toward Fu Guang Daoist,

"This is Fu Guang Daoist Friend, from the Purple Star Emperor Sect, the very sect of the Zi Yi Nü who originally granted you Creation."

Upon hearing the words 'Zi Yi Nü', the Monkey instantly became more courteous, bowing properly and saying:

"So you are Fu Guang Daoist Friend, pleased to meet you."

"I... I, the humble Daoist, have met Monkey Daoist Friend."

Fu Guang Daoist heard it in a cloud of confusion.

So it seems that Lin Chuan and this Monkey are not simple Demon Cultivators?

Had they had ties with the Purple Star Emperor Sect before?

Could it be that they received enlightenment from a senior within the sect?

Thinking this, Fu Guang Daoist let out a sigh of relief, thinking he wouldn't have to enter the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and become brothers with the Daoist friends.

"Fu Guang Daoist Friend, where did we leave off just now?"

Lin Chuan was eager to know the next story, "After the Heavenly Demon Old Ancestor, what happened to the Purple Star Emperor Sect? What befell Yang Zu?"

Seeing Lin Chuan's very curious expression, Fu Guang Daoist grew even more puzzled.

Such matters, given the other's methods, should be easy to learn about.

Could it be that Lin Chuan truly never dealt with matters above the Star Domain?

"Lin Daoyou, my words may not be true; consider them a story, don't take them to heart."

When the Monkey arrived, Fu Guang Daoist's speech became more cautious.

"According to unofficial histories, after the Strongest Heavenly Demon fell, Yang Zu remained dormant for a long period, and no one knew Yang Zu's whereabouts."

"Some say Yang Zu has been in seclusion, pushing toward higher realms, the legendary Immortal Ascension Realm, ultimately failing and attaining self‑immolation."

"Others say she has constantly opposed Buddhism."

"Because the fall of the Strongest Heavenly Demon back then was largely due to Buddhism."

"Since then, until the end of the ancient era and the early primordial era, Yang Zu never reappeared."

Fu Guang Daoist spoke, slipping again into a self‑forgetting state, talking incessantly.

"When Yang Zu reappeared, it was at the end of the primordial era; she seemed to have reincarnated after a full cycle of cultivation, her strength now greater than before."

"But in this era, the most dazzling one is not Yang Zu, but that! Supreme Existence!"

"That Supreme Existence who has separated the Star Domain from the Fanchen!"

As he spoke, the Fu Guang Daoist's heart fluttered.

"Lin Daoyou, the stories of this era are widely spread among the Star Domains; you can understand them easily."

"Out of respect for that one, I, the humble Daoist, will not elaborate further."

"After all, what I know are merely hearsay; that one's worshippers are countless, you can go seek them yourself."

At this moment, the flying boat has already broken through the barrier between the Star Domain and the Fanchen, entering a special space.

Nine clusters of differently colored nebulae surround this vast space.

The Fu Guang Daoist pointed to a blood-colored nebula and introduced, "There is the Blood-Painted Star Domain I mentioned earlier, the revelry paradise of Demon Cultivators."

"There, the strong feed on the weak, there are no rules, order is chaotic; Lin Daoyou, if you have no special need, you must not go there."

After speaking, he pointed again at a purple nebula.

"The Ziwei Star Domain is there; it is the birthplace of Daoism in the Nine-phase World, and whether mortal or cultivator, one can receive good protection."

"It is a cultivation holy land longed for by countless cultivators."

"The other Star Domains are Tianlong Star Domain, Nirvana Star Domain, Rui Heng Star Domain, Tian Xuan Star Domain, Shaking Light Star Domain, Wu Mo Xing Yu, Paradise Star Domain."

"Each Star Domain has its own characteristics, but aside from the Blood-Painted Star Domain, there is essentially no great danger; Lin Daoyou can go to any of them."

The Fu Guang Daoist smiled, "Of course, if Lin Daoyou's heart is undecided, you may first follow me to the Ziwei Star Domain."

"Our Purple Star Emperor Sect warmly welcomes Daoist Friends."

"No." Lin Chuan shook his head in refusal.

His gaze locked onto the golden Star Domain above.

After entering the Star Domain, he could faintly sense Ye Xue's approximate location.

The Fu Guang Daoist, surprised, "Lin Daoyou, are you heading to the Tianlong Star Domain?"

"Hmm."

Lin Chuan nodded, "I have a friend there."

"……"

Another friend?

The Fu Guang Daoist subconsciously glanced at the Monkey.

Could Lin Chuan be a junior of some great super power? Previously he was only placed into Qingyun Prefecture for training?

Given his talent, it is highly possible.

Thinking of this, the Fu Guang Daoist took out two Jade Talismans and gave them to Lin Chuan, one white and one purple.

"Lin Daoyou, this white Jade Talisman contains many pieces of information about the Nine Major Star Regions; you may take a closer look."

"This purple Jade Talisman is the binding Jade Talisman of the Purple Star Emperor Sect."

"Lin Daoyou, if you have any matter, you may first go to the Purple Star Emperor Sect to find me, or seek assistance from other Daoist Friends of my sect."

When the Monkey first appeared, the Fu Guang Daoist was startled.

He had thought he had fallen into a Demon Cultivator's trap, but now it seems Lin Daoyou's identity is merely mysterious, not a ten‑sins unforgivable Demon Cultivator.

I, Fu Guang, count the Four Seas and Eight Wastes as friends; to befriend! Must befriend!
