Chapter 558: Arrive at Xuanwei Heaven

Three years later, a sliver of light spilled into the cabin, illuminating all around, and even the boundaries of the "Heavenly Treasure Ship" began to turn transparent, revealing the outside scenery.

"Fellow Daoists, the 'Heavenly Treasure Ship' is about to arrive at Xuanwei Heaven's Azure Dragon Platform!"

"Xuanwei Heaven was built before the Era of Great Slaughter among the Myriad Clans, enduring through the ages. It is the cradle of our Xuanwei Heavenly Immortal Dao..."

A gentle and soothing voice echoed within the cabin, accompanied by a calming celestial melody.

One by one, the cultivators began to slowly open their eyes, a hint of surprise and astonishment flickering in their gaze.

Chen Xun and Black Bull stood outside their small cave abode, gazing into the distance, their eyes wide with disbelief.

They were positioned in the middle of the clouds, but in the distance, a massive star hung high in the sky, shrouded in mist, yet its star ring was exceptionally prominent, like a circular rainbow.

But the most terrifying thing was that, after a while, that terrifying star would erupt with spiritual qi, surging downwards like a tsunami.

Although they were surrounded by clouds, they could see wide passages with treasure shuttles swiftly traversing them, and even giant ships passing through.

A towering structure reached up to the clouds, and at that moment, a massive cylindrical magical artifact flashed by like a stream of light. Even from such a distance, its enormity could be felt.

Countless cultivators from various clans descended from it in an instant. After a brief stop, the artifact transformed into a stream of light and departed, though a faint glimpse of some array tracks could be seen beneath the towering structure.

In this scene and location, it was impossible to distinguish between day and night, and even islands floated below the clouds, shrouded by formations, making it hard to discern their reality.

A fleeting glimpse!

The sight triggered Chen Xun and Black Bull's fear of giant objects, their skin crawling with goosebumps, and they even considered using a magical artifact to blast that terrifying star away...

Wouldn't it scare someone to death if it fell? And is it day or night now? Does it feel like we're on land or in the clouds?

"Bull..." Chen Xun swallowed hard, his eyes still trembling as he looked around, his voice shaking, "Are we in the Great World of Taiyi... or have we entered an illusion..."

"You, you know about formations."

"Moo... moo..."

Black Bull clung tightly to Chen Xun, cold sweat forming on its forehead, feeling unsure about formations, "Moo~~"

"I... damn..." Chen Xun slowly and deeply exclaimed, his expression exaggerated, "Why is there land over there, a sea of clouds beside us, and a massive star ring above us?!"

"What the... damn!"

Chen Xun shouted in shock, jumping high in the air. In all his thousands of years, he had never encountered something so absurd; not even the Boundary Battlefield had left them like this!

Black Bull also cried out in shock, unable to hold back: "Moo moo!!~~~~"

They exchanged glances, their bodies weak, considering themselves experienced, but today's scene was truly unprecedented, too absurd.

It felt like their souls had left their bodies, peacefully departing this world and entering a fantastical one.

Azure Dragon Platform.

Here, cultivators from various clans came and went, appearing like a sea of people, yet under the shadow of that terrifying star, they seemed like insignificant ants scurrying about.

The spiritual qi here was so dense it could almost be wrung out, and the cultivators from various clans often laughed and conversed, their demeanor exuding an innate confidence.

Chen Xun and Black Bull's noses flared, clutching an Image Stone tightly, as the flowing clouds around them gently surged like waves, carrying a warm breeze.

Their mouths twisted slightly, eyes filled with excitement, yet they remained silent, constantly nodding, as if carved from the same mold.

"Crossing the World." Ji Yan gathered everyone together, smiling understandingly, "Would you like to explore here?"

"Yes!"

Chen Xun nodded vigorously, turning around, his nostrils flaring to their maximum, making Ji Yan's smile deepen.

He looked in a certain direction and said, "They have purchased a small plain somewhere in the capital, and the coordinates have been placed in the star compass. Just record it with the coordinate case, and we will meet there and gather some information."

Ji Yan knew Chen Xun came from a small boundary, and such a grand scene was naturally unfamiliar to him, so he wouldn't expose Chen Xun's shortcomings, respecting each other.

"Yes!"

"Then we shall depart first."

"Alright, we'll contact each other through the star compass if needed!"

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone bowed with enthusiasm, their voices surprisingly soft here, not spreading far.

Meanwhile, Yao Yue and others had come to meet them, secretly rolling her eyes at Chen Xun for not taking her along, planning to steal his spirit stones eventually.

Chen Xun and Black Bull watched them leave with smiles, feeling the dreamlike flowing clouds and mist brushing against them.

Suddenly, he brought his fingers together, and an Immortal Sword flew out from his storage ring!

Chen Xun let out a sharp cry, stepping onto it, looking at the stunned Black Bull: "Bull, get on!!"

Black Bull's eyes trembled... Chen Xun, still holding on...!

"Moo~~!"

It leaped up, landing steadily behind Chen Xun, placing its hooves on his shoulders, even bringing out an old pair of goggles from thousands of years ago.

Chen Xun grinned, taking out his own old item and putting it on.

However, they both instinctively avoided looking at the massive star in the distance, as each glance made their hearts race.

"Sword Flight, free and easy between heaven and earth, take off!!"

"Moo~~!!"

Whoosh!

A streak of sword light cut through the clouds, accompanied by excited cries and mooing, plunging downwards to explore the true Xuanwei Heaven!

Half an hour later.

"Stop, how dare you fly your sword freely above the capital?!"

"Why aren't you using the artifact passage?!"

"Immediately pull over to the side! This is the final warning, yes, you two, stop looking around!"

...

Suddenly, a squad of black-armored cultivators rushed over, even exerting spiritual pressure, all of them Unity True Lords as overseers!

"Huh?!"

"Moo?!"

Chen Xun and Black Bull were shocked, getting into trouble just by flying a sword?! No way.

The seven-member squad surrounded them instantly, their gazes icy cold: "What's going on with you? With so many cloud buildings in the capital, if you use mana to fly artifacts freely, it would be chaos."

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, esteemed seniors, we're new here." Chen Xun smiled awkwardly, cupping his hands, his face quite embarrassed, "We really didn't understand the rules here, but it wasn't intentional!"

"Moo moo~" Black Bull looked terrified, hoping they wouldn't be thrown into the Immortal Prison!

"There are specific areas where you can fly freely, but remember not to fly through areas with many cloud buildings. Use the artifact passage or teleportation arrays instead."

The overseer spoke coldly but with patience, "We won't confiscate your artifact, but you'll be fined spirit stones as a minor punishment."

"Ten mid-grade spirit stones."

"Senior, that much?!"

"Any objections?"

"None!"

Chen Xun's expression turned serious, quickly shaking his head, while Black Bull stood beside him on two legs, broad and sturdy.

One man and one bull hung their heads low, with the lowest-grade Immortal Sword standing beside them, surrounded by a team of overseers making records. Such things should not happen more than three times.
