As the two rushed, the spider web became larger and larger in their eyes, and the human-faced dead trees growing on it also became clearer.

"Little Junior Brother, slow down. These human-faced trees were transformed by the guards of that Ancestral Emperor who were invaded by the divine aura back then. Now they are all sleeping, and each possesses extraordinary combat power."

"What is particularly astonishing is that once they wake up, they will emit a sound that shatters the soul, and there will be great terrors descending in their sound."

The Captain spoke quickly, came to Xu Qing's side, and shuttled through the spider web with him.

Xu Qing nodded. The strangeness of these human-faced trees could be felt when he looked from afar before, and now that the distance was close, he saw it more meticulously.

Most of those faces were middle-aged. There were no women inside, all were men.

The appearance was similar to the Human Clan, but the skin color was different, and behind each ear, there were fine lines like fish gills.

Besides that, although they closed their eyes, their expressions were distorted, and the heterogeneity growing all over their bodies was mixed with rich resentment. Combined with this expression, it revealed strong unwillingness.

"Below the gods, all are ants. They also resisted before they died, but unfortunately..."

The Captain sighed, flew through the gaps of the human-faced trees one by one, and didn't touch any of them.

Xu Qing was also like this, until an hour later, under the concealment of the Wordless Heavenly Book, the two of them seemed to have lost all sense of existence and successfully passed through this terrifying human-faced forest.

They flew through layers of spider webs again, like two mosquitoes, and gradually arrived at the core of this spider web area.

That huge star reflected in his eyes.

Looking from outside the star, this star was gray, filled with cracks, and while filled with the aura of death, one could see one huge vortex after another moving slowly inside.

That was a storm.

Besides that, one could also see that on the surface of the star, there were sixteen huge deep pits existing regularly.

Each one was shocking.

The moment he saw this deep pit, Xu Qing had a sense, thinking of the spider god in the shrine seen in the core of Nine-Li.

That god had sixteen legs, which could correspond to these sixteen deep pits.

So, in Xu Qing's mind, a picture emerged: the terrifying and huge spider god inhabited this gray giant star, sixteen legs submerged into the earth, forming sixteen deep pits.

"Here, according to my judgment back then, is the habitat of the owner of this Divine Domain. But unfortunately, with the departure of this Divine Domain owner, it never returned, and this Divine Domain gradually appeared signs of decay."

The Captain stared at the star and spoke in a low voice.

"Here, in terms of danger, it is much less."

"However, this place is after all a Divine Domain, and it can be considered the core, so the dangers that exist are still not few."

"But, the more it is like this, the greater the gain!"

The Captain revealed madness in his eyes and didn't forget to remind Xu Qing.

"The Heavenly Dao suitable for your Emperor Sword Secret Vault is inside!"

"Little Junior Brother, let's go!"

As he spoke, the Captain flew first.

Xu Qing revealed determination in his eyes. Since he had decided, he didn't hesitate anymore and stepped into this vast star following the Captain.

Inside the star, the earth was originally gray, and the sky was black, but because of the shroud of the storm, most of what he saw was hazy.

And the storm that blew here all year round swept in all directions, and the whistling rumbling sound was also deafening.

Coming here was like coming to a dead end.

Before this, the biggest storm Xu Qing saw was the Green Sand Desert of the Sacrifice Moon Domain. Until this moment, stepping onto the star and entering the storm here, the contrast between them was particularly obvious.

Surpassed the Green Sand Desert!

Wind and sand seemed to be the only thing here, sweeping across the sky, and even falling on his body, Xu Qing and the Captain had a feeling of being unable to move.

This was not an ordinary storm.

This was the remnant of a divine art containing divine aura, containing a very high status, and mixed with imperial aura.

One could imagine that the place here must have experienced a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering battle.

Fortunately, Xu Qing himself possessed the Divine State, so after showing the divine source, he could move forward in the wind and sand, and the Captain there was obviously not here for the first time, and his own mystery was incomparable, so here, he was also barely as usual.

And it seemed, he had a route.

Just like this, the two walked forward all the way in this wind and sand.

Time passed, and soon seven days passed. The storm became stronger and stronger, and as they approached the destination, the storm here appeared in situations where multiple merged together.

Even Xu Qing and the Captain felt strenuous.

And what made Xu Qing feel even more palpitating was that in every storm that arrived, there was a strange heartbeat hidden, as if... there were living beings hidden in the core of the storm.

Xu Qing looked at the Captain.

The Captain shook his head and didn't speak.

Until after five big storms, when the core vortex of the sixth storm was about to shroud them, the Captain took Xu Qing into a crack in the earth.

The moment he drilled in, Xu Qing found without much surprise that there was a cave hidden here.

This cave didn't know how long it had been dug out, it was very clever, hiding inside, one could avoid the storm.

After entering the cave, the Captain breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the surroundings with emotion.

"There is no big change here. Little Junior Brother, let's rest here for three days. According to my calculation, three days later is a small cycle of the outside storm."

"At that time, the storm will be weakened a lot."

"As for your previous questions, I don't have the answer, but in one life, I was swept into the core vortex of the storm. Although I didn't die, I lost the memory inside after coming out. Even now, I can't recall it."

The Captain's words made Xu Qing's mind narrow. The more he understood the Captain, the more he could feel the terror existing in the core of the storm through his words.

So he was silent for a moment, his gaze swept across the surroundings, and then looked outside the cave, asking a question.

"Eldest Senior Brother, how many times have you been here?"

"This is the third time!" The Captain had a heartless appearance, seeming not to care about the previous explanation at all. At this moment, he stretched and grinned, very skillfully sitting down on a rock wall.

Leaning there, he raised three fingers at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at the Captain meaningfully. He knew very well that what could make the Captain still remember after failing twice must be a huge plan, and he also thought of the super big thing the Captain mentioned.

"Ultimately, what is the purpose this time?"

Xu Qing said in a low voice.

The Captain blinked, looked around, and finally shook his head.

"Little Junior Brother, I really can't say, you wait a bit more... I can only tell you one point for now, that is, compared to that time with the Red Mother, this time doesn't count as anything."

"The reason I have always remembered this place is because most of all the preparations I once made were for this place."

"Originally, I thought it would take another three or five lives to have a clue, but your appearance, Little Junior Brother, is different."

The Captain slapped his thigh, his expression somewhat excited.

Xu Qing was silent, thoughtful.

He knew very well that the Captain was not a person who mystified things, unless it was really because of some reasons that he couldn't say. Otherwise, with the Captain's personality of loving to show off and liking to see himself shocked, he would have said it all at once to appreciate his shock.

"What can make the Captain hesitate like this must be related to the three gods..."

Xu Qing pondered. Combining the three gods exploring this place many times in the name of the Great Hunt, and the seal of the Nine-Li spider god, a bold guess rose in Xu Qing's mind.

"The Fourth God?"

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, he didn't speak anymore, closed his eyes to adjust his cultivation base, and kept himself in a peak state.

The whole cave was slowly quiet at this moment, only the whistling of the outside storm, like a god roaring, venting its anger, sweeping the earth, affecting the firmament.

And some sobbing sounds also accompanied inside, as if crying, and like struggling, sometimes miserable, sometimes strange.

These sounds came continuously, reminding Xu Qing of the terror of this place.

And the three days passed quickly.

The Captain's understanding of this place was very accurate this time. The outside wind was indeed smaller.

Especially after the third day passed, there was a moment when it almost disappeared completely, and one couldn't hear half a bit.

"Time is up!"

The Captain's eyes lit up and he rushed out instantly. Xu Qing followed behind. The moment he left the cave and arrived outside, the black firmament was clear for the first time, and the gray earth was the same.

The storm that filled this place before was nowhere to be seen.

"Only one hour!"

The Captain roared, his speed unfolded to the extreme, turning into a long rainbow and going away.

Xu Qing followed, his speed exploded.

The figures of the two broke through the air and moved forward, taking advantage of the disappearance of the storm here, galloping with all their strength.

But one hour would eventually pass quickly, and the wind here slowly appeared again.

However, when the whistling sound gradually became intense, a strange mountain and a group of statues appeared in front of the two.

That mountain was vast, towering into the clouds.

In the center was a circular hole, wind and sand whistled past from its surroundings and this hole, forming an extremely sharp sobbing whistle.

Merging into the wind, affecting all directions, shaking the soul.

At the same time, a sense of ancient times and vicissitudes also permeated Xu Qing's heart through the gaze at this moment.

And at the foot of this hole mountain, with the mountain as the center, it was surrounded by ancient statues.

They had three heads and six arms, looking up at the firmament, each holding a giant blade, emitting terrifying majesty.

What attracted Xu Qing's attention even more was that the center of the eyebrows of each huge statue actually had a half-moon mark.

Even the statues on the edge vaguely had a posture of kneeling and bowing to the firmament.

When Xu Qing's gaze gazed, the Captain's voice came from behind him through the wind and sand.

"This is transformed by the thirty-six princes of that Ancestral Emperor."

"Before they died, they bowed to the moon. What they bowed to was not the Moon-Flame, nor the Red Moon, but the most ancient moon between heaven and earth. It is formless, the yin in yin and yang."

"Some clans like to call it the Ancestral Moon."

"Besides, this mountain is our destination, the Ancestral Emperor Tomb of this star domain!"

As he spoke, the Captain flickered and went straight to that mountain, but after walking a few steps, he noticed Xu Qing didn't come, so he turned back to look at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't move. At this moment, he was standing beside a moon-bowing statue, staring at the statue, a strong light appearing in his eyes.

The Cang Dragon in his body was sending out fluctuations, as if reminding Xu Qing, and the one with the biggest fluctuation was his Third Divine Vault.

The Third Divine Vault was related to the moon, and at this moment, it rose with a strong desire!

Xu Qing realized instantly that this statue was very suitable as the Heavenly Dao for the Third Divine Vault.
