Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In the Chaos, a blurry scene coalesced.

It was a space wrapped in Chaos, its edges permeated by extremely dense Chaos Qi and distorted red light halos.

Deep in the scene, a slender figure could be faintly seen.

That figure was intertwined and entangled with Chaos Qi and distorted red light.

This scene, there was no need to calculate the specific time, because Xu Zhangqing had witnessed it with his own eyes — this was the final moment of the Universe Tide's eruption.

In other words, Jun Wu Huo was originally in the depths of the Chaos Sea, then because of the Universe Tide's eruption, he took the opportunity to escape from inside.

As a result, because his whole body was entangled with the Red-Clothed Lord's power that could distort cause and effect, he was… erased by the Dao Venerable!

"Th-this… isn't this what you just said?"

"So… that really was Senior Brother Jun!"

"He's gone, Senior Brother Jun is already gone!"

Seeing this scene, both Xu Zhangqing and Ji Chen's faces darkened.

Xu Zhangqing hesitated somewhat, unable to stop himself from asking: "Continue?"

Ji Chen blanked for a moment, then nodded forcefully: "Continue!"

Things having come to this, he had to figure out the other person's fate.

Xu Zhangqing moved the Jade Pendant away from before the Creation Mirror, and instead picked up Yin Wuji's Soul Lamp Fragment.

The moment his fingertip touched the fragment, a sensation completely different from the Jade Pendant transmitted from within the fragment.

That feeling was indescribable, inexplicable, even faintly familiar!

Then, Xu Zhangqing placed the Soul Lamp Fragment before the Creation Mirror, and once more mobilized his Yuan Force.

This time, the mirror surface's reaction was completely different.

The Chaos Qi on the mirror surface seemed to be torn open from the inside by a hand, then rolled back retreating to both sides.

In the Creation Mirror, a stretch of pure darkness was reflected.

Something was pulsing in that darkness.

After another while, a star appeared.

The entire scene was not clear; the edges were always wrapped in a layer of distorted black light halo, like being separated by an impenetrable fog barrier.

That star was embedded in endless darkness, its surface having neither continents nor oceans, only a spine-chilling disordered rhythm.

It was constantly changing.

Sometimes expanding, sometimes contracting, like a living heart beating continuously.

Growth.

Disordered growth.

Frenzied growth.

Growth unbound by any laws.

Xu Zhangqing stared at the mirror surface for three breaths, his pupils suddenly contracting.

He had seen this star before.

No, precisely speaking, he had seen a star exactly the same as it.

That was before entering the Eternal Night Ruins, when he and Luo Qinghan encountered that Living Star.

The difference was, the Living Star had one cold and one hot star adjacent on its two sides.

But in other aspects, they were basically very similar.

Wood Attribute Law, unlimited proliferation.

"A star like this…"

Xu Zhangqing's gaze never left the mirror surface: "I've seen it!"

"What?"

Ji Chen abruptly turned his head to look at him, pressing: "You've seen it?"

"Not the same one, but the essence is the same."

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "When I was searching outside the Eternal Night Ruins, I and Second Senior Sister discovered a Living Star.

The situation there was very similar to the star in the Creation Realm.

Disordered growth, infinite proliferation.

All things were governed by chaotic laws."

As things stand, there is one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news is, although Yin Wuji's Soul Lamp shattered, he is still alive.

The bad news is, the way he survives might be a bit different.

Ji Chen was silent for a good while, then asked again: "Then do you think he is on this star's surface, or inside this star?"

"Hard to say."

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "If it's a Living Star, the surface has only a layer of wriggling skin.

Only the interior, especially after penetrating that layer of disordered Wood Attribute Law growth, can one enter another special environment."

Ji Chen said in a deep voice: "It seems, I'll have to go over there and take a look."

Xu Changqing hurriedly said: "If you want to go, the general direction of that Living Star is at the border zone between the entrance to the Eternal Night Ruins and the edge of the Endless Star Domain.

Near that Living Star, there are also two companion stars.

One is cold, one is hot."

Ji Chen nodded, but when he looked at Xu Changqing, he appeared as if he wanted to speak but stopped.

Xu Changqing asked in puzzlement: "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Ji Chen said helplessly: "It would be good if you could go with me.

When Senior Brother Jun had an incident in the Chaos Sea, you were present.

That Living Star where Senior Brother Yin is suspected to exist, you have also been to a similar one.

In the Zhutian Wan Jie, the only person who could be this coincidental is probably you alone.

As a result..."

He waved his hand, not saying the rest of the sentence.

Xu Changqing, hearing this, felt somewhat caught between laughter and tears.

Leaving aside the fact that the other party's words indeed had no flaw.

Regardless of whether Senior Brother Jun was erased, or the planet that trapped Yin Wuji.

He himself was either present or had been to similar places; it was truly too coincidental.

Pity, the Dao Zun does not allow him to leave.

Not allowed to leave Yu Heng Xing.

Not allowed to leave the Beidou Xianfu.

Not even allowed to leave the Floating World Four Domains.

Xu Changqing and the Creation Green Lotus are both trapped here.

To a certain extent, he can cultivate on Yu Heng Xing until the end of time.

He can watch the Xu Clan thrive and develop better every day.

However, he just cannot escape the Dao Zun's gaze.

"You going alone, you must be careful!"

"On the Sword Path, among peers in the Beidou Xianfu, you rank second and no one dares claim first!"

"But Senior Brother Jun and Senior Brother Yin's matters are indeed a bit strange; caution is best!"

Next, the two chatted for the time of one incense stick.

The content ranged from the strange characteristics of the Living Star to the Endless Star Domain and the Red-Clothed Lord.

By the end, everything that should be said had been said.

Ji Chen did not stay longer, immediately rising to bid farewell.

Xu Changqing saw him to the Bamboo Hut doorway, calling out: "Senior Brother!"

Ji Chen gave an "Mm."

Xu Changqing smiled: "Your Life and Death Sword Orchid, I will plant in the Fifth-Grade Spirit Field.

If you're not in a hurry, just let it grow naturally to maturity.

Naturally grown Sword Orchids have purer Sword Intent, which is the greatest benefit for Sword Cultivators."

Ji Chen asked thoughtfully: "How long?"

Xu Changqing replied: "Eight hundred years!"

Ji Chen raised an eyebrow: "Eight hundred years?"

Xu Changqing, seeing this, immediately supplemented: "Of course, if Senior Brother is in a hurry, I have a method to accelerate ripening.

Using Creation Power to accelerate ripening, at most one month, at least ten days.

But accelerated Sword Orchids will have a trace of Creation Power mixed into their Sword Intent; although it doesn't affect combat strength, in terms of Law Purity it is inferior to naturally grown ones.

The final effect will probably be discounted to eight or nine tenths."

As for the method of using a Time Closed Loop to accelerate ripening, he didn't mention it, and couldn't mention it.

This secret, in the entire Floating World Four Domains, only two people know.

One is him, one is the Dao Zun.

Ji Chen laughed freely: "I am a Sword Cultivator; I still have the time to wait for a flower to bloom.

Let it grow slowly; I'll just go investigate Senior Brother Yin's matter first, and when there are clues, coming back to collect it won't be late either!"
