Everyone discovered that the platform was actually built on an island, and this island, spanning millions of miles, floated in the void, surrounded by endless stars.
"Where is this?"
Countless people exclaimed, as if they were standing in the heavens, gazing at the endless starry sky around them, unsure where they were.
When Long Chen and the others entered, they found the place already packed with countless powerful figures—millions of them, more than the entire Tianwu Continent combined.
They were all dressed in the attire of Divine Clan disciples. When Long Chen appeared, someone among them waved to greet him. Long Chen immediately recognized him as the warriors of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion.
Long Chen waved to them and greeted them, but the hundred thousand Tianlong Legion warriors were overwhelmed by the countless Divine Clan armies—there were too many disciples of the Divine Clan.
Looking at the endless disciples of the Divine Clan around them and the vast starry sky, the powerful figures of Tianwu Continent whispered among themselves, feeling a bit nervous about such a world.
"Everyone, there's no need to panic. This is the entrance to the Star Domain Divine Realm."
At that moment, an aged voice rang out. Everyone looked toward the voice. At the end of the crowd, there were two stone pillars reaching into the sky. Within the pillars, space kept flowing, auspicious clouds surged, and the situation inside was unclear.
In front of this strange portal stood an elderly man with white hair, his face kindly watching everyone.
"Lord Dan?"
Long Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected that this old man was not a powerhouse from the Four Great Divine Clans, but rather the Pill Master of the Divine Pill Hall.
Long Chen immediately thought about it and immediately understood the reason: the four great divine clans were not very harmonious. To preside over the opening of the Star Domain Divine Realm, an absolutely impartial figure was needed to carry it out, so that no one would secretly question it.
The Lord of Pills is highly respected among the divine clans, and since he does not belong to any of the four great family heads, it is very suitable for him to preside over the ceremony.
"Let me introduce you. This is the Lord of Pills of our Divine Clan, whose status is on par with the chiefs of the four great divine clans. So, when you speak, please remain quiet and not miss a single word. This concerns your lives—don't trouble yourselves." Beside the Pill Master, a Tian-generation elder spoke coldly.
Elder Long Chen had never met him before, nor did he know which family he came from. His face was cold and stern. After his rebuke, everyone fell silent and listened intently.
Seeing that no one spoke or secretly sent soul transmissions, the elder nodded, bowed to the Pill Master, and gestured for him to continue.
The Lord of the Pill Master smiled gently, his face kind, and said, "The Star Domain Divine Realm is actually the passage connecting our Tianwu Continent to the Divine Realm. It is also what people commonly call the path to immortality, the Fengshen Staircase." Upon
hearing the Pill Master's words, everyone was in an uproar. Even Long Chen's heart raced. The path to immortality, the Fengshen Ladder? Wouldn't that mean he could become an immortal or a god?
"Quiet!"
the elder shouted sternly, his voice like thunder, shaking everyone's eardrums and souls throbbing, causing them to fall silent.
Facing everyone's surprise, the Lord of the Pill Master smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "It's fine. Anyone hearing about this kind of situation for the first time will act like this. There's no need to be so strict. If you want to scare them, if you have any questions, feel free to speak up." The
Lord of Pills signaled the elder not to be so harsh with everyone, and the elder had no choice but to nod and withdraw.
"Lord Dan, I'm a bit puzzled. Didn't you say the mythological era has already passed, and that no one on our Tianwu Continent can become immortal or god anymore? What is the situation with the Path to Immortality and the Investiture of the Gods Ladder? Seeing that the Lord of the Pill Master allowed others to ask questions and no one spoke for a long time, Long Chen spoke up directly.
The Lord of the Pill chuckled and said, "That's a good question. I hope everyone won't be so reserved. Otherwise, if the old man talks alone and there's no one to respond, it would be too awkward."
Moreover, as people get older, their minds become less sharp. They don't know what has been said and what hasn't. If they ramble on and say something a dozen times but leave the necessary parts unsaid, that becomes awkward. The
Lord of the Pill was kind and kind, speaking with humor and wit, without any airs of a strong person, which made people feel good.
The reason no one dared to ask questions before was because they were terrified by his identity. Being someone who could stand on equal footing with the Divine Clan chief was afraid of saying the wrong thing and offending this figure they could only look up to.
Long Chen spoke, causing many to secretly marvel. After all, Long Chen, the boldest person on the entire Tianwu Continent, showed no sign of nervousness facing such a terrifying figure.
What they didn't know was that Long Chen had already communicated with the Pill Master. However, the last time he compared the alchemy with Ye Qian, it was not a glorious event for the Divine Clan. The Pill Master was completely unconcerned about this matter, but the Divine Clan had kept the news sealed and forbade anyone from disclosing it.
So everyone knows about the battle between Long Chen and Feng Fei, but no one knows about Long Chen and Ye Qian's pill duel.
The Lord of Pills moistened his throat and said, "Long Chen, this question is surely a question many people have pondered. From the existing historical records, everyone knows that after the ancient Immortal War, the previous cultivation civilization was extinguished. Although the concept of immortals and gods has always existed, there has never been any example of them becoming immortal or god again."
There is still a divine inheritance on the Tianwu Continent, but those are all left before the ancient immortal era. The divine decrees received now are all from unknown worlds passed down by the gods.
As for the world where the gods reside, we know nothing about it. To put it bluntly, the path to immortality and godhood on the Tianwu Continent has already been severed.
Before the Immortal Ancient War, the Star Domain Divine Realm was the only path for the powerful beings of our Tianwu Continent to ascend to immortality and become gods.
But with the ancient Immortal War, the Star Domain Divine Realm shattered, and now the Star Domain Divine Realm is nothing but ruins and debris. So, if one wants to use this to become a god or immortal, it's almost impossible. "
Ruins and wreckage?" Everyone was both shocked and regretful. So ancient immortal myths aren't all rumors; people really can become immortals or gods, live as long as heaven and earth, and be immortal for all eternity.
The Lord of the Pill Master continued, "But you need not be discouraged. Although the Star Domain Divine Realm has collapsed, countless powerful figures have left behind opportunities and treasures within. If you can obtain them, it will change your entire life."
The Star Domain Divine Realm is the passage connecting the Tianwu Continent and the Divine Realm. Before its collapse, it accumulated treasures and legacies left behind by countless Immortal and Fengshen Ascendants.
After the shatter, generations of great emperors and ancient emperors explored the Star Domain Divine Realm, and they left their marks. If you are lucky enough to encounter their legacy, it will change your destiny. Hearing
that some immortals and god-sealers had left legacies, and that even emperors and ancient emperors had explored the Star Domain Divine Realm, people's enthusiasm was reignited.
The Great Emperor is the supreme existence. If he could obtain even a trace of their inheritance, it could transform them and become supreme geniuses.
Last time, Long Chen crossed the tribulation and fought fiercely with the Great Emperor, shocking the entire world. That was the first time people saw an Great Emperor take action.
Although in the end, Long Chen and the Emperor fought to the point of mutual destruction, with the Emperor's thunderous body rendered to nothing, allowing Long Chen to successfully overcome the tribulation.
But how domineering was Emperor Mo Li's previous behavior? Long Chen tried his best but couldn't withstand it; clearly, he had gone easy with his final move.
Emperor Moli once called Long Chen brothers, so it was only natural to go easy on him. So, even those with limited eye could guess that Long Chen didn't pass that time by strength at all.
Among his peers, Long Chen had always been an undefeated prodigy, but before emperors of the same cultivation level, he had no strength to fight back. That time, Emperor Mo Li didn't even use a world-shaking technique and had already left Long Chen in a sorry state.
This shows just how terrifying the Great Emperor is. Long Chen was unrivaled on the Tianwu Continent, but before the Great Emperor, he was no match. Now, hearing that he might obtain the Great Emperor's legacy made him excited.
"Lord Dan, I have something to ask. Please do not blame me for being rude."
Nangong Zuiyue, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. Before speaking, she bowed to the Pill Master, fully displaying her poise and demeanor.
"You're too polite. Ask whatever you need. As long as I know, I will say whatever I can." The Lord of Pills said.
"I heard that the Star Domain Divine Realm is not only a passage connecting the Tianwu Continent and the Divine Realm, but also one of the paths of the Heavenly Dao's cycle of reincarnation. Occasionally, ghost ships pass by. I wonder if this is just a rumor or true." Nangong Zuiyue said.
When the ghost ship was mentioned, the disciples present all felt their hearts race, because they had all heard the word.
There are rumors that ghost ships are extremely strange entities, wandering between the underworld and the living realm, traversing between the past and the future.
The ghost ship, also known as the Ship of Calamity or the Ship of Curses, will encounter misfortune upon anyone who sees it. The most terrifying thing is that you must not mention it; if you do mention it, anyone who hears the news will be cursed.
However, ghost ships exist only in legends, not even in historical documents, so in modern times, they are considered fabricated by imagination and do not exist in reality.
The horror story of the ghost ship is almost universally known, but everyone listens to it as a story; no one really believes it exists.
But as an ancient prodigy and a peerless powerhouse from the Longevity family, Nangong Zuiyue would never speak nonsense. Moreover, in such an occasion, since she could speak out, she must know something. For a moment, everyone turned to look at the Lord of Pills.
The Lord of the Pill smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "No wonder it's the Longevity Family—they even know about the ghost ship."
Then let me tell you about the so-called ghost ship. The legendary ghost ship in the world is nothing but a supernatural tale.
But the ghost ship truly exists. Not only does it exist, but on our Tianwu Continent, there was even a powerful figure who once hijacked one of them. "
What?" Everyone was greatly astonished.
