All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

Chapter 754 Ancient Road of Stars
"Is this the outer space?" Chu Yang murmured to himself, a sense of unprecedented shock welling up inside him.

Unlike the starry sky of the primordial world, every star here seems to possess its own life. Chu Yang could sense the different auras emanating from each star—some gentle and benevolent, some violent and ferocious, some mysterious and unpredictable, and some ancient and weathered.

What surprised Chu Yang even more was that he discovered the spatial laws here were completely different from those of the Primordial World. In the Primordial World, he could easily tear through the void to teleport, but here, space seemed to be reinforced by an invisible force, and even with his current strength, he could only barely make short-distance spatial jumps.

"It seems that the outer space is indeed extraordinary," Chu Yang thought to himself. "No wonder even saints dare not easily venture there."

He took out the Primordial Chaos Divine Pearl given to him by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and activated its concealment function. Instantly, an invisible light shield enveloped him, completely concealing his aura. In this state, even a powerhouse of the same level would find it difficult to detect his presence.

Chu Yang began to roam the starry sky, searching for the "Ancient Star Road" mentioned by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Following the guidance of the talisman, he flew deeper into the starry sky.

For a while at first, Chu Yang simply traveled among countless stars, each one piquing his curiosity, but he restrained his urge to explore. Now was not the time to satisfy his curiosity; finding the Archaeopteryx was the most important task.

After flying for an unknown period of time, Chu Yang began to feel somewhat tired. The environment of the outer space was taking a toll on him more than he had imagined, and the suppression of the laws here forced him to expend more magical power to maintain his flight.

"I need to find a place to rest," Chu Yang thought to himself. "If I keep flying like this, I'll collapse from exhaustion before I even find Archaeopteryx."

Just then, a peculiar area appeared in the distance. There were no twinkling stars there, but instead, countless meteorites of varying sizes floated. These meteorites were arranged in a very regular pattern, and from Chu Yang's perspective, they looked like a winding road extending into the depths of the starry sky.

"This is..." Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat, "Could this be the Ancient Road of Stars?"

He sped towards the meteorite cluster, the closer he got, the more he could sense the extraordinary nature of the meteorites. Ancient runes were etched on their surfaces, emitting a faint silvery glow. Even more remarkably, these meteorites were connected by some mysterious force, forming a stable passageway.

Chu Yang cautiously approached the first meteorite, carefully observing the runes on it. These runes were extremely ancient, older than any script in the primordial world, but the Ancestral Bird inheritance within Chu Yang allowed him to vaguely understand their meaning.

"Ancient Road. Guiding the Way Home." Chu Yang deciphered the meaning of the runes haltingly. "This is indeed the Ancient Road of Stars!"

Overjoyed, he immediately began to advance along the ancient path formed by meteorites. To his surprise, once he stepped onto this ancient path, the suppression of the laws he felt was greatly reduced, and his flight speed increased several times over.

"I see," Chu Yang suddenly realized, "This ancient road was a passage specifically built for traversing outer space."

As Chu Yang traveled along the ancient starry road, he witnessed even more wondrous sights. Some meteorites were covered with strange plants, radiating a dreamlike glow; some contained immense energy within them, like miniature stars; and others were engraved with various patterns, seemingly recording some important information.

What shocked Chu Yang even more was that he occasionally saw some powerful beings active near the ancient road. Some were enormous star beasts, thousands of miles long, roaming in the void; some were mysterious cultivators, exuding terrifying pressure; and some were completely incomprehensible alien life forms, with bizarre and unpredictable shapes.

"The outer space is indeed a place teeming with powerful beings," Chu Yang thought to himself. "Fortunately, I have the Primordial Chaos Divine Pearl to conceal me; otherwise, with my current strength, I would easily become prey for these powerful individuals."

As Chu Yang ventured deeper into the ancient path, he sensed a change in his surroundings. The density of stars decreased, but each star appeared larger and brighter. More importantly, he began to sense a familiar aura—the fluctuations of the Law of Fire, but purer and more powerful than the Law of Fire in the primordial world.

"This feeling..." Chu Yang's heart stirred with excitement. "Could it be that Archaeopteryx is really in this direction?"

The Archaeopteryx inheritance within his body began to vibrate slightly, as if responding to something. This sensation grew stronger and stronger, confirming Chu Yang's belief that he was on the right path.

After flying for some time, Chu Yang saw a huge point of light appear in the distance. The point of light emitted a gentle golden glow, which contrasted sharply with the cold starry sky around him.

"Is that a planet?" Chu Yang carefully observed the point of light and found that it was indeed a complete planet, and its size was extremely large, several times larger than the primordial world.

What surprised Chu Yang even more was that this planet exuded a rich aura of life. In this cold outer space, encountering a planet full of life was as precious as finding an oasis in the desert.

"Perhaps there's news about Archaeopteryx there," Chu Yang thought to himself. "At least we can find out some information."

He sped towards the planet, and the Ancient Star Road extended in that direction. As he drew closer, Chu Yang was able to see the planet's features more clearly.

This is a breathtakingly beautiful planet. Its surface is covered with azure oceans and emerald green continents, with white clouds drifting slowly through the atmosphere. Even more magical, countless luminous islands float in the sky, like stars dotting the heavens.

"It's so beautiful," Chu Yang exclaimed sincerely, "This is simply a legendary fairyland."

As they drew closer, Chu Yang began to sense the powerful fluctuations of the planet's laws. The laws here were extremely complete, encompassing almost every type of law he knew, and each law had reached an extremely high level.

"To maintain such a complete system of laws in outer space, the master of this planet must be an extremely powerful being," Chu Yang thought to himself. "Perhaps it really is related to the Archaeopteryx."

Just as Chu Yang was about to land on the planet's surface, he suddenly felt a powerful spiritual force sweep over him. This force was gentle yet profound, seemingly able to see through everything, making Chu Yang feel as if he were transparent in its presence.

"A powerful figure has discovered me," Chu Yang thought with alarm, and immediately stopped advancing to prepare for possible danger.

Unexpectedly, the spiritual force showed no hostility; instead, it carried a hint of curiosity and inquiry. Then, a voice resounded in Chu Yang's mind:

"Who goes there? Why have you come to my Wutong Star?"

The voice was neutral and gentle, indistinguishable in gender, yet it contained unparalleled majesty and power. Chu Yang knew that he had encountered the master of this planet, a powerful being of unfathomable strength.

Chu Yang dared not be negligent in the slightest and respectfully replied, "This junior, Chu Yang, comes from the Primordial World. Due to urgent matters, I have come to Wutong Star to gather information. I humbly request your guidance, senior."

"The Primordial World?" The voice held a hint of surprise. "It's been a long time since anyone from the Primordial World has come here. What urgent matter are you referring to?"

Chu Yang hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully, "This junior has come to seek out Senior Nirvana Phoenix. The Primordial World is currently facing an unprecedented crisis and urgently needs Senior's help."

"A phoenix reborn from the ashes?" The surprise in the voice was even more pronounced. "You actually know that name? And you carry its aura."

Chu Yang was overjoyed; it seemed he had come to the right place. "Senior, do you know the Nirvana Phoenix?"

“More than just acquaintances,” the voice said with a hint of nostalgia, “we’re old friends. Young man, come down here; I want to talk to you in detail.”

After receiving permission, Chu Yang carefully landed on the planet's surface. He chose a relatively safe grassland as his landing spot, where the grass was lush and green, wildflowers bloomed, and the air was filled with a sweet fragrance. The moment he landed, Chu Yang sensed the planet's uniqueness. The spiritual energy here was several times higher than in the primordial world, and it was extremely pure, without the slightest impurity. Even more remarkably, the laws governing this place were very active, as if constantly undergoing some kind of wondrous evolution.

“No wonder it’s called the Phoenix Star,” Chu Yang said, looking around and noticing that there were indeed large groves of phoenix trees growing in the distance. “Phoenix trees are the natural habitat of phoenixes, so this place is indeed very suitable for the phoenix clan to live in.”

Just as Chu Yang was observing the environment, the space in front of him suddenly fluctuated, and a figure slowly appeared.

This was a young man who appeared to be around thirty years old, with handsome features, dressed in a white robe, and elegant demeanor. However, Chu Yang could sense the terrifying pressure emanating from him, an aura that only beings beyond the perfected Saint level possessed.

"You are Chu Yang?" the young man asked gently. "I am the master of this Wutong Star. You can call me Wutongzi."

Chu Yang quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Wutongzi."

Wutongzi waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Those who can obtain the inheritance of the Nirvana Phoenix are not ordinary beings. Moreover, the aura emanating from you is very special, a fusion of the laws of time and fire—such a combination is rare."

Chu Yang humbly replied, "Senior, you flatter me. I only obtained a portion of the inheritance from Senior Nirvana Phoenix by chance."

"A mere coincidence?" Wutongzi chuckled. "The inheritance of the Nirvana Phoenix isn't something just anyone can obtain. To gain its recognition shows you truly possess extraordinary abilities."

Seeing Wutongzi's friendly attitude, Chu Yang felt somewhat relieved and then asked, "Senior, do you know where the Nirvana Phoenix is ​​now? The Primordial World is truly in great trouble."

Wutongzi's expression turned serious: "Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"

Chu Yang recounted in detail the crises facing the primordial world, including the invasion of extraterrestrial demons, the alliance between the Chaos Demon Lord and the Void Demon Lord, and the precarious state of the Heavenly Dao Barrier.

After listening to Chu Yang's account, Wu Tongzi's expression turned serious: "The Chaos Demon Lord and the Void Demon Lord have joined forces? This is indeed a big problem. No wonder you came to find the Nirvana Phoenix."

"Senior, do you know the whereabouts of Senior Nirvana Phoenix?" Chu Yang asked anxiously.

Wutongzi pondered for a moment, then said, "The Nirvana Phoenix did come here, but that was a long time ago. It stayed here for a while, then continued its journey deeper into the starry sky."

Chu Yang's heart sank: "Where is it now?"

“I’m not sure either,” Wutongzi shook her head, “but it mentioned going to the source of the ‘Eternal Flame’ when it left. If I’m not mistaken, it went to the Flame Starfield.”

"Flame Starfield?" Chu Yang asked in confusion.

Wutongzi explained, "The Flame Starfield is a special region in outer space, where the purest fire laws in the universe are concentrated. For those who cultivate the fire laws, it is a sacred place."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Chu Yang's eyes: "Where is the Flame Starfield? How do I get there?"

“Don’t rush,” Wutongzi waved her hand, “The Flame Starfield is extremely dangerous; even I dare not venture there lightly. Moreover, to get to the Flame Starfield from here, we need to cross several dangerous areas.”

Chu Yang said firmly, "No matter how dangerous it is, I will go. The safety of the primordial world rests on my shoulders; I cannot back down."

Wutongzi carefully examined Chu Yang, then nodded and said, "I can sense your determination. Very well, for the sake of the Nirvana Phoenix, I can offer you some assistance."

"Really?" Chu Yang asked excitedly, "Senior, are you willing to help me?"

“Yes,” Wutongzi said, “but before that, you need to improve your strength. With your current cultivation level, even if you went to the Flame Starfield, it would be difficult to survive in that environment.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang felt both excited and worried: "But the Primordial World can't wait much longer; the Heavenly Dao Barrier could be broken at any moment."

Wutongzi smiled mysteriously, "You don't need to worry about that. I have a way to help you greatly increase your strength in a short time. Moreover, the flow of time here is different from the outside world. One year of cultivation here might only be one day outside."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang was overjoyed: "Senior means..."

“That’s right,” Wutongzi nodded. “I can let you cultivate on Wutong Star for a period of time to improve your strength before you go to find the Nirvana Phoenix. I will also teach you some survival skills for outer space.”

Chu Yang said gratefully, "Thank you so much, senior! I will never forget this kindness!"

Wutongzi waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Helping you is helping the Phoenix Reborn, and it's also helping the entire universe maintain its balance. If the Chaos Demon Lord and the Void Demon Lord truly succeed, it won't just be the Primordial World that suffers."

As he spoke, Wutongzi pointed to a distant mountain peak: "That's my sacred cultivation ground, the 'Phoenix Nirvana Platform.' You can cultivate there. The concentration of the Fire Law there is a hundred times greater than outside, which will greatly benefit your cultivation."

Chu Yang followed the finger of the wutongzi and saw that the top of the mountain was burning with golden flames, exuding a sacred and powerful aura.

"This flame," Chu Yang exclaimed in shock, "is even purer than the Phoenix's rebirth flame!"

Wutongzi smiled and said, "This is a branch of the Eternal Flame, which I brought back from the Flame Starfield. Using it to aid cultivation will naturally yield extraordinary results."

"Senior, when can I begin my cultivation?" Chu Yang asked impatiently.

Wutongzi looked at the position in the sky and then said, "You can start now. However, before you begin your cultivation, I need to explain some basic knowledge about extraterrestrial space to you. This will be very important for your journey ahead."

Chu Yang nodded respectfully: "Please enlighten me, senior."

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight on Wutong Star shone on Chu Yang's face, waking him from his cultivation. The sunlight here was different from that of the primordial world; it carried a gentle and pure power that made one feel refreshed and invigorated.

Chu Yang opened his eyes and found himself lying on a soft patch of grass. Last night, Wutongzi had introduced him to the basics of the outer space, which had greatly benefited him. Now he had a deeper understanding of this vast starry world.
