Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 208 Something was discovered
The grand ceremony held in the desolate region was the largest and most solemn event that Long Yi had ever seen. Compared to Tianlong City, it was truly insignificant and incomparable.

During the meal, Hao Zichen secretly told Long Yi that they might be going to the Ancestral Temple later because of a major secret. It was Long Yi's first time visiting the Ancestral Temple, and he had heard that it was very mysterious and only the ten most powerful families could enter. He wondered why they were opening it up to everyone this time, but only families invited by the Ancestral Temple could go. This was a far cry from the usual rules. In addition to the ten most powerful families, they had invited some of the more prestigious and influential families in the Wilderness Region to go together. It was truly different from the past!

Long Yi was shocked when he heard Hao Zichen's news. The Ancestral Temple was the core of power in the Desolate Region and the leadership and decision-making body here. He wondered what it was like inside and what mysteries it held!
Sure enough! Not long after, Long Xiao came over to explain some rules to Long Yi. He was to stay close to him and not get separated from him as they were going to the ancestral temple together.

Long Yi understood perfectly. He couldn't wander around the ancestral temple freely; he had to follow the rules, or he would be in danger! He kept these rules firmly in mind. This was the biggest secret he would encounter since arriving in the desolate region—the sacred ancestral temple. This was the best opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the desolate region, which thrilled Long Yi. ...

In the main hall, an elderly man with white hair stood up and solemnly addressed the guests present: "Today is a special day. The Ancestral Temple will once again be open to the public. All of you here are honored guests of our Ancestral Temple, and you are fortunate to be part of this special day. You will be able to accompany me into the most mysterious place in our desolate region. Welcome to the Ancestral Temple of the Desolate Region!..."

"Long Yi, this is my ancestor, the most prestigious and mysterious member of our Hao family!" Hao Zichen said to Long Yi.

Long Yi thought to himself, could this be Hao Tianyang, the ruler of the Desolate Region? He had heard Long Xiao mention many times that Hao Tianyang was the strongest person in the entire Desolate Region, unfathomable, and few people knew the true extent of his cultivation! He was a universally acknowledged peerless master. Therefore, the ancestral temple of the Desolate Region had always been under his control, with the other two as his deputies, obeying his orders.

"Really? He's your ancestor, mysterious and unpredictable, clearly an extraordinary master!" Long Yi said to Hao Zichen.

“That’s right. The ancestor is the head of the ancestral temple. I haven’t spoken to him yet, and the clan leaders all obey his orders. I must go and pay my respects to him later. You can come with me!” Hao Zichen said.

"Is this a good idea? Does your family have any rules? I'm afraid it might not be appropriate!" Long Yi said.

"No, don't worry! The ancestor has been in seclusion for cultivation. This is the first time I've met him. He's very amiable. When I was born, he even gave me a jade pendant. With me here, don't worry!" Hao Zichen said to Long Yi.

“Alright! I’ll go with you to see your ancestor then!” Long Yi said.

"Okay! See you in a bit, I'll be right back!" Hao Zichen said and ran off in a flash!
The white-haired old man, Hao Tianyang, walked deeper into the main hall. Ahead stood a wall carved with various animals in all sorts of poses! It was made of an unknown, dark brown stone. From a distance, it looked extremely eerie and unfathomable.

Everyone looked at Haotianyang with confusion, wondering what he was doing!
Hao Tianyang was unaffected. He simply walked to the wall, stretched out his right hand, and channeled a stream of blue energy into it.

"Crunch, squeak," the sounds rose from all sides!
Before long, powerful forces converged from all directions, and the blue energy screen grew larger and larger, instantly covering the entire wall. Within the screen, infinite energy fluctuations swirled, and a faint suction force emanated outwards. Nothing within the screen was clearly visible.

The sudden appearance of the light screen stunned everyone present. They didn't know what Haotianyang had triggered that caused this light screen to appear instantly. What exactly was it?
As soon as Long Yi saw Hao Tianyang unleash his energy, he immediately realized what it was! Wasn't that energy barrier just a teleportation array? It was a small teleportation portal. Long Yi was a master of spatial teleportation on the Blue Card Continent, but he never expected there would be a teleportation portal here, unlike the opening of other secret realms. "Everyone, follow me into the Ancestral Temple," Hao Tianyang said to everyone, then stepped into the energy barrier and disappeared.

As Hao Tianyang disappeared into the light curtain, everyone followed suit and stepped into the blue light curtain one after another!

When Long Yi followed Long Xiao into the light curtain and reappeared, the scene before him astonished him. Was this the Ancestral Temple?
The room was filled with a vast expanse of stars, a boundless blue sky overhead. The horizon seemed endless, like entering a boundless cosmos, making one feel incredibly small. Here, an individual is but a speck of dust, utterly insignificant!

All around was emptiness, with misty clouds obscuring everything, making it impossible to see anything clearly. Spiritual energy surged, and a powerful force filled the space. This was a huge disc, with the ground inlaid with an unknown stone. Every step one took caused energy fluctuations, constantly moving with the object.

Before this enormous disc, a straight, multicolored road stretched into the depths. Enveloped in mist, the path ahead was obscured.

Everyone was shocked by this place. Is this the ancestral temple of the desolate region?

Just as everyone was wondering, Hao Tianyang said to them, "This is the entrance to our Desolate Domain Ancestral Temple. The real surprises and shocks are yet to come. Be sure to follow me closely and don't go the wrong way. This place is full of traps and formations. One wrong step and you will be in a life-or-death situation. Remember! Remember!"

Upon hearing Hao Tianyang's words, those who had never been here before became very serious, looking at him nervously, afraid that they might have missed something and regretted it for the rest of their lives if they went to the wrong place and died!

Hao Tianyang was truly gratified to see everyone's reactions, all of them so tense. The ancestral temple was indeed the biggest secret of the desolate region!

"Relax and don't wander off. The Ancestral Temple will surely amaze everyone. It is the core of our wasteland, our hope, and a sacred and inviolable holy land!" Hao Tianyang said.

"Cheer up, let's go to the ancestral temple together to witness history, to witness our glory..." Hao Tianyang said.

Everyone immediately perked up, hoping for good luck, and were surprised to find that the mystery of the ancestral temple was right before their eyes.

Long Yi followed closely behind Long Xiao, his heart pounding with nervousness. This was his first time approaching the core of the desolate region, and he never expected to come across the ancestral temple's core secrets so quickly! However, Long Xiao had been here before, and he showed no surprise. Instead, he calmly and slowly followed everyone forward.
