Chapter 327 Touring the Celestial Realm, Abandoned Stars
Just as the sage Nuwa was heading to the underworld with the Spirit Pearl.
Chen Changsheng has crossed the chaotic void and arrived at the boundary between the Heavenly Realm and the Chaos.
After leaving this place, Chen Changsheng let out a long sigh of relief and muttered to himself:
"Finally out!"
"This chaotic void is truly dangerous."
"Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could perish here, never to return, if they are not careful!"
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng turned his gaze and looked in the direction where Nuwa Palace was located in the chaotic void.
This trip to Nuwa Palace to reunite with Yang Chan was quite fruitful.
Not only did he finally meet Yang Chan, whom he had been longing to see.
While still paying homage to Nuwa, they unearthed a broken Eastern Emperor Bell and a wisp of true solar fire within her sacred site.
"Although the Eastern Emperor Bell is broken, its power is in no way inferior to that of ordinary innate spiritual treasures."
"That wisp of true solar fire rekindled the flame of Chan'er's Lotus Lantern, making the best use of it."
"Next..."
At this point, Chen Changsheng slowly withdrew his gaze, his expression becoming resolute.
"Our goal is to find a way to rescue my mother-in-law from the foot of Peach Mountain!"
Then, without delay, Chen Changsheng spread his body and flew towards the Heavenly Realm.
This celestial realm is vast and boundless, and it is not limited to only thirty-three heavenly palaces.
In the higher and more distant void, the stars of the heavens float.
These are not mere projections of stars as we see them in the mortal world, but real and ancient celestial bodies containing immense stellar power.
These stars are not only our dwelling place, but also the foundational nodes of the Zhou Tian Star Array.
Back in the ancient Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi used numerous stars to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array.
This formation is so powerful that it possesses unparalleled strength, even rivaling the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Witch Clan. It is said to be awe-inspiring throughout the primordial world.
After the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan collapsed.
However, the framework of that unprecedented Zhou Tian Star Array and most of the stars were preserved.
After Haotian was appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun to become the new ruler of the Heavenly Court, he naturally took over the Zhou Tian Star Array.
It rearranged the deities to reside in key stars, wielding their power and restoring order to the celestial realm.
Although it cannot compare to the full power of the Zhou Tian Star Array at its peak.
However, it has also become a major defense for the celestial realm today.
Those deities who reside on these stars and wield the power of a region are also known as "Star Lords".
Next, Chen Changsheng flew swiftly through the void of the Heavenly Realm.
He did not rush to leave the celestial realm, but instead seemed to be touring it.
Earlier, Chen Changsheng had traversed the various heavens of the celestial realm without any trouble, finally arriving at the border between the celestial realm and chaos.
"Um?"
After traveling for a while, Chen Changsheng suddenly stopped and turned his gaze toward a star.
"strangeness."
"This star seems different from the others."
Chen Changsheng glanced at a star not far away.
You can sense that the star in front of you is very desolate.
The star was not very large, and its entire body was dark gray. Its starlight was dim, and the star power it emitted was weak and mixed.
It gives people a feeling of loneliness.
In addition, a thin layer of dust cloud seemed to cover the surface of the star, obscuring the specific terrain.
After a brief look, Chen Changsheng uttered a sound of doubt:
"Could it be an abandoned satellite?"
"Or perhaps... a star damaged and never recovered from the ancient war between the Lich King and the Lich King?"
Chen Changsheng secretly speculated.
There are quite a few stars like this in the celestial realm. They are usually thin in spiritual energy and lack resources. Few immortals or gods are willing to stay there permanently. At most, a celestial patrolman will occasionally pass by to inspect them.
After a moment's thought, Chen Changsheng withdrew his gaze and decided to bypass the area and continue on his way.
However, to Chen Changsheng's surprise, just as he was about to leave, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:
【Ding! 】
[A faint but peculiar remnant of the Dao of Time and Space has been detected; a Level 5 treasure chest has been generated and dropped!]
[Shall we proceed with the excavation?]
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Chen Changsheng was taken aback.
"A level five treasure chest?"
After passing through the chaotic void and entering the celestial realm, Chen Changsheng did not descend directly but chose to tour the celestial realm.
The purpose was to see if a treasure chest could drop in some special place.
Unexpectedly, it turned out just as he had guessed.
Not long after they had traveled through the area, a treasure chest began to fall down.
Although it was only a level 5 treasure chest, not as good as the level 8 treasure chest that dropped in Nuwa Palace, it was still an unexpected gain for Chen Changsheng.
Who knows, this level five treasure chest might yield some great treasures.
After a moment's thought, Chen Changsheng composed himself and quickly communicated with the system:
"system."
"Let's go treasure hunting!"
As Chen Changsheng sent out his thoughts, a map showing the location of the Level 5 treasure chest suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Um?"
After looking at the guide map, Chen Changsheng was taken aback, and his gaze fell once again on that desolate star.
"I never expected that this level-five treasure chest would drop on this very star!"
"Looks like I'll have to go down and take a look at this unremarkable star."
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and without further ado, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards that dark gray star.
Soon, he passed through the outermost dust cloud of that star.
What came into view was a desolate scene.
The gray-black earth is covered with cracks, and impact craters are everywhere. There is almost no vegetation, with only a few oddly shaped dark rocks scattered around.
And in the air of this star, there is a thin and languid spiritual energy.
It certainly looks like a lifeless, dead star.
After a brief look, Chen Changsheng prepared to land on that star.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
"stop!"
"What kind of deity dares to trespass on this land?"
A sharp shout suddenly rang out!
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng paused and looked in the direction of the voice.
Upon looking, he saw a group of people rushing towards him.
Before long, a group of heavenly soldiers blocked Chen Changsheng's path.
These heavenly soldiers were all dressed in standard armor, wielding sharp halberds, and exuding a chilling aura.
Upon appearing, they immediately formed a simple battle formation, surrounding Chen Changsheng.
The leader was clad in heavy black iron armor, wore a star-studded crown, and had a cold and stern expression.
This person was surrounded by surging magical power, with the power of stars faintly visible. His cultivation had clearly reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
Although he was only a beginner in the Taiyi realm, the appearance of a Taiyi Golden Immortal guardian general in this desolate star was extremely unusual.
After a brief examination, Chen Changsheng frowned slightly, thinking to himself:
"strangeness."
"Isn't this an abandoned star?"
Why would heavenly soldiers be stationed here?
