Chapter 741: Star City Tomb Sea

At the end of Li Yuan's vision, there was a towering, endless pillar of heaven traversing the entire starry sky.

The pillar was of unknown length in light-years, with both ends leading to the depths of the unfathomable starry sky, swallowed by endless darkness. The surface of the pillar was intertwined with black and gold, engraved with countless mysterious patterns... Even separated by endless distance, these patterns were clearly visible.

And the aura it emitted was like eternity, immortal and indestructible, causing Li Yuan to feel a sense of worship in his heart.

At first glance, it was as if it were a weapon left behind by an incredible existence. Even after endless years, it still shone brightly, illuminating the entire heaven and earth.

"Immortal Heaven Pillar." Li Yuan whispered to himself.

He knew that the pillar was left behind by the founder of the Immortal Heaven and Earth, the 'Pillar Supporting Heaven' of the entire Immortal Heaven and Earth, also known as the Immortal Heaven Pillar.

This was a legend passed down from the three Immortal God Palaces, and it should be true.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

The countless mysterious patterns on the surface of the Immortal Heaven Pillar constantly released circles of mighty divine glows. These divine glows contained astonishing power, and as they impacted toward the outer periphery, they gradually evolved into various flames, water currents, golden lights, and mists... Flames like rivers surrounded the pillar.

Water currents traversed the void wantonly, like colorful ribbons...

Golden light had spirit, was everywhere, and was dazzling...

Mist dispersed... Cold ice like cones hung in the void, refracting countless light and shadows... The various phenomena made this starry sky gorgeous and beautiful.

However, this was only the appearance.

The most shocking thing to Li Yuan in the entire starry sky was the massive, broken, and dilapidated starry sky continents circling the Immortal Heaven Pillar.

Each starry sky continent was incomparably vast. If one observed carefully, one could even find countless ancient cities within the continents... These were star cities!

Each massive, broken continent was a star city.

"Legend has it."

"Every time a Star City Lord perishes, the star city becomes an ownerless object. Under the influence of the invisible rules of the Immortal Heaven and Earth, they eventually drift to the Immortal Heaven Pillar." Li Yuan looked into the distance, his heart filled with inexplicable shock: "Here, star cities that have passed away in the history of the Immortal Heaven and Earth are buried."

"Star cities like the sea... This starry sky is also called the Star City Tomb Sea." Li Yuan thought to himself.

This was one of the most mysterious regions in the entire Immortal Heaven and Earth.

It was also recognized as a place of origin and a place of destruction... Numerous star cities gradually drifted closer to the Immortal Heaven Pillar.

The closer the star city continent was to the Immortal Heaven Pillar, the more decayed and broken it became, and many even became torn apart, until they were finally completely annihilated in the endless divine glow released by the Immortal Heaven Pillar.

And just from Li Yuan's observation, he had already seen over three thousand star cities.

There were only over two hundred star cities in the current Immortal Heaven and Earth, basically all born in the last hundred billion years... From this, one could know how ancient the star cities in the Star City Tomb Sea were. I fear there were star cities born thousands of billions of years ago.

"Li Yuan."

Xiao Mu's voice sounded in Li Yuan's mind, quite emotionally: "Whether it is a star city opened by a Sovereign or a star city opened by a Sovereign, without exception, every star city will eventually be destroyed under the action of the Immortal Heaven Pillar, turning into the most primitive energy flow and returning to the Immortal Heaven and Earth itself. This is the origin rule of the Immortal Heaven and Earth."

Li Yuan understood.

The Immortal Heaven and Earth is vast and endless, and its operating rules are perfect, which is indeed incredible... It is hard to imagine that this heaven and earth was opened by a single expert.

Is this the Eternal Realm?

"Xiao Mu, is your treasure in this starry sky?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"Fly to the left." Xiao Mu said: "Find Sovereign Honghe's Star City. The gift I gave is in Sovereign Honghe's Star City."

Sovereign Honghe's Star City?

Just hearing the name, he knew it should be a star city jointly established by the two Sovereigns of the Honghe Universe Alliance.

Li Yuan continued forward, shuttling through the void time and time again.

After a long time, he finally entered the Star City Tomb Sea.

In the numerous star cities in the outermost region of the Tomb Sea, the continents were generally intact, and they were surrounded by countless strange energies and lights, still shining endlessly, but the entire continent no longer emitted any vitality...

"Hmm?"

"There are actually quite a few quasi-saints?" Li Yuan sensed with his powerful perception and instantly detected traces of experts in some broken star city continents not far away.

And this was only the region he could observe.

What about the other abandoned star cities?

From this, one could infer that the number of quasi-saints and even Emperor-level experts gathered in the Star City Tomb Sea was definitely not small.

"Every star city, when prosperous, gathers a large number of Emperor-level experts and low-rank quasi-saints. Once the Star City Lord perishes, whether it is because the Universe Realm ends and they pass away, or because they perish for special reasons, the entire star city will move toward irreversible destruction. The destruction of the star city will also leave behind many rare treasures." Xiao Mu transmitted: "This attracts countless experts from the Immortal Heaven and Earth to concentrate on treasure hunting. There is no lack of peak Emperor-level experts and even Sovereign existences."

"These experts come fast and go fast."

"Under normal circumstances, a star city will only be destroyed every tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years."

"Therefore, in the vast majority of time, the entire Star City Tomb Sea is relatively quiet." Xiao Mu explained.

Li Yuan suddenly understood.

The abandoned star cities in the Star City Tomb Sea had almost all been searched by generations of experts, and there were very few missed treasures, making it difficult to attract some top-tier experts to stay here for a long time.

Those who stayed here for a long time were mostly just quasi-saints.

"Xiao Mu, in this way, hasn't Sovereign Honghe's Star City also been searched by a large number of experts?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say: "If the treasure you left behind is hidden inside the Sovereign Star City, is it still there?"

"It should still be there." Xiao Mu laughed: "Don't worry too much."

"In fact, every time a star city is destroyed, most of the experts in the star city are not from the same Universe Realm, and they will all withdraw normally." Xiao Mu explained.

Li Yuan pondered.

Just like Tianluoxingcheng, if the Qing Tian Luo Universe Realm were destroyed and the Qing Tian Luo Sovereign perished, the experts of the many God Mansions like the Red Lotus Mansion would all be fine, they just wouldn't be able to continue staying in the star city.

These living experts would naturally take away the treasures they carried with them.

"And the Sovereign Star City is even more vast and contains many arrays left by the Sovereign."

"Once the star city enters the Star City Tomb Sea, it will be protected by the invisible rules of the Immortal Heaven and Earth. Many areas of the continent cannot be forcibly destroyed..."

"Even if the Sovereign has passed away, without violating the invisible rules of the Immortal Heaven and Earth, Sovereigns cannot directly shake the Sovereign arrays. And Sovereigns... generally disdain coming to the Star City Tomb Sea." Xiao Mu said solemnly: "Therefore, Sovereign Star Cities are often preserved relatively intact."

"These Sovereign arrays won't fail?" Li Yuan was curious.

Even top-tier Emperor Weapons will eventually decay under the erosion of time.

Let alone arrays?

"Haha, Sovereign arrays will eventually fail, but that requires enough time. Since Big Brother Beihe and the others passed away, it has only been over twenty billion years. Sovereign Honghe's Star City should be the youngest 'Sovereign Star City' in the Star City Tomb Sea." Xiao Mu laughed: "This is also the reason why I am full of confidence."

Li Yuan couldn't help but recall.

Back then, when Xiao Mu first mentioned the treasure he left behind, he had also said that after only tens of billions of years, the treasure he prepared should be safe and sound.

"Zoom!"

Li Yuan transformed into a stream of light, gradually flying toward the depths of the Tomb Sea. The deeper he went, the more an invisible pressure shrouded this starry sky, and it also sealed time and space, making time-space shuttling increasingly difficult.

Finally, with Li Yuan's strength, he could only fly slowly.

"Swish~" "Swish~" The mist, golden light, flames, and other substances wandering in the void would occasionally crash into Li Yuan. Like those golden lights, they could easily annihilate stars... but they couldn't cause any impact on Li Yuan.

"Fly slowly."

"It will take half a day to fly to the area where Sovereign Honghe's Star City is located." Li Yuan was very patient.

And moving forward all the way, he was also quite vigilant, restraining his aura, trying his best to avoid the probing of many quasi-saints and even Emperor-level experts along the way.

Although he wasn't afraid, it was good to have fewer troubles.

Half a day later.

Li Yuan appeared above a massive, magnificent continent. Looking down, there were countless ancient cities suspended above the continent, vaguely forming a whole with the continent, telling of its past prosperity.

And in the center of the continent, there were two supreme palaces. Even separated by a vast starry sky, Li Yuan could still feel the aura rushing from those two palaces... surpassing the many cities and palaces on the continent.

"Sovereign Hall?" Li Yuan whispered to himself.

He seemed to see.

A star city continent that was once prosperous to the extreme, with ten thousand Emperors respecting the two Sovereigns, and a million quasi-saints cultivating in this world... That was what kind of magnificent scene it was, and then after the passage of time, only this abandoned, dead star city continent remained.

"That is Bogu's palace."

"That is Dongxiu's place of quiet cultivation. That was a stunning little guy, it's a pity he was born too late..."

"That is Weiqi girl's..." Xiao Mu's voice sounded, and there was even a trace of trembling in his voice: "Big Brother, I'm back, I'm back to the star city." ===== CHAPTER 742 =====

"That is... Wei Qi's girl..." Xiao Mu's voice rang out, even carrying a trace of trembling: "Big Brother, I have returned, I have returned to the Star City."
