Chapter 2460

The Heavenly Family Elder Ancestor pointed at the star stone and introduced it to the three.

This star stone is also a thing from Beyond the Heavens, and it is extremely precious; in Beyond the Heavens, it is a treasure that all races fight over.

Because this star stone is the most basic condition for going to Beyond the Heavens.

Only with the star stone can one break the confinement of Beyond the Heavens, leave the original world, and enter Beyond the Heavens.

Yet in the entire Immortal Realm, over all these years, there are fewer than twenty pieces of star stone.

These star stones were brought back to the Immortal Realm, where the Formation King Immortal City used them as a core to refine them into a teleportation array, which is called the star array.

In short, simply put, without a star stone there is no way to go to Beyond the Heavens.

After a simple introduction to some star stones and star arrays, Ye Zhangqing and the three nodded slightly.

Afterwards, the Heavenly Family Elder Ancestor restrained his smile and spoke seriously.

"Alright, since you're ready, let's set out."

Afterwards, everyone entered the star array's position together; the Heavenly Family Elder Ancestor activated the formation, and in an instant, the star stone at the core of the star array burst out a blinding white light.

Then Ye Zhangqing only felt a sensation of weightlessness, as if his body began to float up involuntarily.

Then he was suddenly pulled by a tremendous force, and his whole person vanished from the spot in an instant.

In his perception, he was continuously rising upward, but everything around was a blur, and he could see nothing clearly.

Ye Zhangqing could only relax his body, letting the power of the star array take him to Beyond the Heavens.

This continued like that, seeming like just an instant; when Ye Zhangqing came to, everyone found themselves in a huge city.

Above the city, the sky was filled with countless stars.

However, these stars seemed very close, giving a feeling of being within reach, completely different from the sensation of looking at the night sky in the Immortal Realm.

"Where have we arrived? Why is there still a city?"

Tianlin beside him questioned doubtfully, and the Heavenly Family Elder Ancestor, hearing this, explained.

"This is the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens; we have arrived."

"Immortal City Beyond the Heavens? Elder Ancestor, are you saying we've already reached Beyond the Heavens?"

"Yes."

"This Immortal City Beyond the Heavens is a city built by our Immortal Realm in Beyond the Heavens; it can also be understood as the foundation of our Immortal Realm in Beyond the Heavens, the headquarters of the Heavenly Palace."

"It is also a city that our Immortal Realm alone built, yet it is given the name of an immortal city."

For now, everyone is still in a small courtyard, with no one else around; they cannot see the full view of the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, nor do they know what kind of place this Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, governed by the Heavenly Palace, truly is.

However, the Heavenly Family Elder Ancestor's following words shocked everyone.

"Traveling from the Immortal Realm to Beyond the Heavens takes one year; we will first go into the city to settle."

"Wait, Elder Ancestor, you're saying we just flew for a year?"

Not bad

Are you sure?

Tianlin's feeling was the same as Ye Zhangqing's; just now it clearly seemed like only an instant, even if a bit longer, it's absolutely impossible to have been a year.

However, the Heavenly Family's elder ancestor shook his head and laughed.

"The star formation involves not only space but also time; you feel it's just an instant, but in the Immortal Realm, indeed a year has passed."

"This has been verified countless times; there's no mistake."

For a moment, Ye Zhangqing and the two others were startled—it had already been a year.

Although a year is nothing to the three of them, the lifespan in the Ancient Immortal Realm is already extremely long; they don't care about a year or two.

Let alone one or two years, even eight or ten years make little difference.

What made the three of them momentarily unable to accept was that, in the blink of an eye, a year had passed, giving them a sense of unreality.

After the three had somewhat calmed down, the Heavenly Family's elder ancestor and Huang Lao then led them away from this small courtyard.

Leaving the small courtyard, after walking a distance, everyone saw a gate of light.

At the light gate, an old man saw the Heavenly Family's elder ancestor, Huang Lao, and the three of them, and laughed while scolding.

"You three old fogeys, finally willing to come to Beyond the Heavens?"

"The affairs in the Immortal Realm have just ended."

"I've heard that you should be careful; the people of the Ultimate Bliss Palace are very unhappy about this and are shouting for revenge."

"So we've come, then?"

Haha

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, they burst into laughter, then completed a simple registration, whereupon the group passed through the light gate and left this place.

According to Huang Lao, that place just now was a special independent space constructed by the Heavenly Palace to receive cultivators from the Immortal Realm.

Anyone arriving in Beyond the Heavens from the Immortal Realm first stops at that independent space; only after completing the registration can they leave and truly enter the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

As for that old man just now, Huang Lao said he was an old friend, formerly the elder ancestor of an ancestor in the Immortal Realm.

After coming to Beyond the Heavens, undergoing multiple trainings, settling family affairs, he joined the Heavenly Palace and thereafter has long been stationed in Beyond the Heavens.

This is also to break through to the ultimate strong and achieve greater heights.

That old man and Huang Lao are of the same realm; hearing this, Ye Zhangqing was stunned.

Seeing this, Huang Lao laughed.

"Kid, there are plenty of top-tier experts here in Beyond the Heavens, not like the Immortal Realm; after all, once we've reached this level, the Immortal Realm holds little allure—staying there is just waiting to die, while Beyond the Heavens is the way out."

"And what about you, Huang Lao?"

"Me? I previously didn't want to continue pursuing cultivation; after so many years I'm tired; immortality holds no appeal for me; reaching the ultimate strong realm is enough—I've already lived this long."

Huang Lao laughed freely.

Leaving this independent space, what unfolded before everyone's eyes was a huge city gate.

Upon closer inspection, the entire city gate is actually a dragon head like a star.

The skull's remaining white bones, and the gaping mouth, serve as the entrance to the city.

"What... what... what...... what is this?"

"The legendary ancestral dragon, eh?"

Huh???

Huang Lao said indifferently, the three of them old-timers, this wasn't their first time coming to the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens; they had come many times before.

As for the city gate of the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, there was naturally nothing surprising about it; they had seen it countless times.

But Ye Zhangqing and the others were different; all three were visiting the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens for the first time, and seeing this huge dragon head before them left them numb.

Especially when Huang Lao casually said this was a revelation of the ancestral dragon, Tianlin couldn't stay calm.

"The legendary ancestral dragon? The first dragon of the Immortal Realm, isn't that from the legends?"

"Since there are legends, they naturally have a basis; legends aren't just made up out of nothing."

"Then how is it here?"

Using the ancestral dragon's head as the city gate, the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens is really audacious.

If the beast clans of the Immortal Realm with dragon blood were to find out, they would surely fight to the death.

After all, the ancestral dragon is, in the hearts of those beast clans, simply their sole faith.

Other things can be discussed, but using my ancestral dragon as a city gate—this isn't blatant humiliation, is it? I will definitely fight you to the death.

Moreover, could there be no beast clans in Beyond the Heavens? Or are they dragon clans? How could they just watch you turn their ancestor into a city gate, standing here with its mouth wide open? It's utterly outrageous.
