the other allows things from the login interface space to enter the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the system space created by “Taiyuan” is far more mysterious than originally imagined—far more than merely a spiritual realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, might other things copied from the login interface also one day be brought into the real world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mere thought of this possibility stirred a flame of excitement in Wang Yu’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind other things—just that white bone yin demon banner, nurtured within the login interface, had nearly reached the mid-grade tier in just a few months after devouring countless yin souls; if summoned into the real world, it would be a devastating weapon in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the Soul Descending Art and soul runes deserve serious study when time permits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, since Wang Tiezhu could be revived by this method, Helen, who was in the same state, likely could be “brought back” the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Helen Na  differs vastly from Wang Tiezhu, who grew up in a small village—this woman was originally a commander of the Blue Star Superpower Unit and possessed dual A-rank abilities; even with soul runes as control tools, she would never be as obedient as Wang Tiezhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he had once promised her that if a way existed, he would awaken her—and besides, the hyper-simulation ability she transmitted to him before sealing herself had, by sheer coincidence, saved his life once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Wang Yu even more determined not to break his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the timing to awaken Helen Na  must be carefully considered, for now there is no second soul rune; even if he were to attempt it, it would likely happen only after the sect’s grand competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had forged one soul rune, his chances in the sect’s grand competition six months hence had increased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in a few days, he must leave to purchase chaos stones, and before that, he must first heal most of his meridian injuries—this is his top priority now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Wang Yu no longer hesitated; he flipped his hand and took a vial from his storage pouch, swallowed a pill, then formed a hand seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft “puff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White flames surged from his body, coalescing behind him into a pale, glowing solar halo, as he activated the Red Sun Great Art to refine the pill’s energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A green wooden boat flew out from Jinghuo Peak, heading straight for the exit of Bishui Cave Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the boat, a man’s excited voice rang out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Younger Brother Wang, rest assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Three Statues Stone Market, though the first gambling stone arena in the Chaotic Spirit Domain, lies in the chaotic borderlands near the beast territories, with mixed company and occasional demonic races appearing—but one of its backer clans is a Jin Dan elder of our Bishui Palace, so for us Bishui disciples, it’s perfectly safe; no need to fear any nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only issue is its distance from the sect—even if we travel nonstop, the round trip alone takes two months; if anything happens en route, it could take even longer, so we must go quickly and return swiftly, avoiding trouble on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for gambling stones, don’t take this lightly—I’ve been gambling since I was twelve, once even cracking three spiritual items consecutively from chaos stones, earning me the nickname ‘Treasure-Seeking Child.’ When we reach the stone market, I’ll show you a real performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But come to think of it, before I received your message, I never imagined you also loved gambling stones—no wonder the Treasure-Seeking Child felt an instant connection with you from the start…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was Yan Lingxiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, Wang Mou will surely witness Elder Yan’s stone-gambling skills,” Wang Yu’s light laugh echoed from the boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Younger Brother, just watch how your elder brother shows his prowess!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the wooden boat pierced the sky and vanished into the heights; their voices could no longer be heard at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than a month later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Chaotic Spirit Domain, over a hundred li from the beast territories, a mysterious expanse of white mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A green wooden boat pierced the air, circled once above the white mist, then plunged confidently into a specific spot within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Wang Yu stepped down from the boat and couldn’t help but look up at the sky above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a straight, ten-meter-wide passage extended vertically upward into the white mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passage’s surface was smooth and polished, glowing with a white luster like porcelain; beyond this passage, a translucent light barrier stretched hundreds of meters above the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the barrier, faint green lake water was visible, with fish and shrimp occasionally darting through—this place was clearly built beneath a lake, with only the vertical entrance above as its sole access.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides their wooden boat, others arrived via spiritual birds or other flying artifacts, slowly descending from the passage above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, when they first entered the passage, only their boat had been present within a several-li radius—but now, inside, so many cultivators had appeared simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Wang Yu, who understood a bit of array theory, frown inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could there be a teleportation array here, drawing in people from different locations and depositing them all into this passage? But on the boat, he hadn’t felt any spatial displacement—was this some more mysterious spatial restriction?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after withdrawing his gaze from above did Wang Yu begin to survey his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood now on a vast circular plaza directly opposite the upper passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plaza was paved entirely with some hard white stone, spanning a thousand square paces, with several streets leading directly into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the plaza, houses stretched endlessly in all directions—varying in height, size, and color, each bearing distinct regional styles, as if built by people from countless different lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the plaza stood more than a dozen towering black-armored warriors, each three zhang tall, motionless as statues, yet each bearing a long, massive blade on their backs, their eyes glowing with cold, blood-red light as they surveyed every newcomer who landed on the plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu quietly extended his spiritual sense to scan them—and his expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These black-armored warriors all radiated Foundation Establishment-level spiritual pressure, their aura savage and bloody—as if each had slaughtered countless lives and was steeped in bloodlust.\u003C\u002Fp>",1160,"2026-06-20T15:44:32.565Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4fc18c1d8ed61956b7fca8aa1dcd763643d56d597ae22a1ae2ae763aa6d07e1d","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-522","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-520",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
