Chapter 497 I came in, and I came out again.
"The Holy Body is gone..."

Someone murmured to themselves, their face filled with utter shock.

A living, breathing person, disregarding all the dangers of the desolate forbidden land, ran like the wind to the deepest part of the forbidden area, and then rode an ancient coffin into the ancient starry road?
This is too dreamlike, are you performing in a traditional opera?!
"How exactly did the Holy Body manage to do that? Did he know where the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin was going?"

"Dongxian just returned from the ancient Ziwei star not long ago, and now the Holy Body has embarked on the ancient starry road. What kind of magic does the outer starry sky possess that makes them venture there one after another?"

"Why didn't the Holy Lord of Yaoguang travel with the Holy Body this time?"

A cacophony of noise erupted as everyone discussed the sudden turn of events, which was even more unsettling than the Six-Fingered Demon King's attack on the Ancient Forbidden Land.

Attacking the restricted area is common, but using it as a route to travel to the stars is truly a first.

"This kid Ye really acted impulsively this time. I wonder what he'll go through. It's also hard to say whether my array patterns will be of any use..." the Black Emperor muttered, then his eyes widened.

"No, the dimensional gate is closed, but why hasn't the Bagua diagram disappeared yet?"

In the dark starry sky, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin did not leave, but instead remained motionless, as if frozen by an unknown force.

Ye Fan moved his hands continuously, altering the patterns and runes on the Bagua diagram, attempting to reverse the situation.

"What Immortal Qin said should be correct. The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is probably going to the Ziwei Ancient Star. I must change its direction and bring it back to Earth."

"I don't know the coordinates of Earth and Mars, but I can completely reverse the direction of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, making it go backwards!"

Such a method was among the array pattern knowledge that the Black Emperor imparted to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had actually seen the star map left by Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni, which contained routes, but that thing was for the use of true powerhouses.

A moment later, the Bagua diagram trembled, and the Yin-Yang fish slowly opened again, allowing the Nine Dragons to pull the coffin back into it, returning to the desolate ancient forbidden land.

"The Holy Communion is back!" someone exclaimed.

This series of unexpected events left many people dumbfounded. How could someone be able to enter and exit the desolate and forbidden land?

Is this your home?

"Brother!" the little girl waved vigorously.

But Ye Fan had no time to pay attention to the situation outside the forbidden area. He saw the nine dragons pulling the coffin slowly backward, entering the domain gate on the other side with the coffin in front and the dragons behind.

The coffin is pulled by nine dragons.

"He has successfully reversed his direction! He might really be able to return to his hometown!" Black Emperor exclaimed.

"Little Yezi, I hope you can be happy on the other side of the starry sky..." Ji Ziyue whispered, her face covered with tears.

"Holy Lord, has Fellow Daoist Ye truly embarked on his journey home?" Yao Xi asked in surprise.

Qin Sheng shook his head. "Only heaven knows."

Weird.

In the boundless universe, darkness is an eternal theme. Desolate, cold, and silent, it seems to never change. Anyone who finds themselves in such an environment will feel extremely small.

Let alone individual living beings, even ancient life-bearing stars placed in the starry sky are as insignificant as dust.

The Big Dipper is large enough that no matter how many suns were thrown into it, it wouldn't fill the space, yet it remains insignificant.

This was Ye Fan's first time truly facing the universe, and this experience was exceptionally intense.

The last time Ye Fan came to Beidou from Earth, apart from stopping on Mars, he stayed in the coffin the whole time and never saw the scenery of the universe.

"The starry sky is indeed desolate. It's impossible to draw energy to recover, and even sensing energy is somewhat difficult." Ye Fan sighed softly after sensing the surrounding environment.

In the universe of the world of Shrouding the Heavens, there are actually various kinds of ethereal divine energy and the origin of the universe. However, most of these energies cannot be absorbed or refined by anyone other than a saint. This is why the cultivation level of a saint is the minimum standard for traversing the starry sky.

Besides speed, supplies are also crucial.

If you throw a powerful being into the universe, he won't die from the harsh environment of space, but he can't recover any of the magical power he expends by directly refining the power of the void.

Once the spiritual medicine and divine energy in their bodies are exhausted, how long can a powerful being sustain themselves?

Of course, nothing is absolute. Various wonders exist in the universe. Their power is relatively mild and can be refined by cultivators below the level of saints. However, encountering such a thing depends on luck.

Ordinary people don't have such an opportunity.

The coffin, pulled by nine dragons, was moving forward, but at a very slow speed. It didn't give the same amazing feeling of crossing light-years in such a short time as when it started from Earth.

Ye Fan could even see meteorites in the starry sky being overtaken and left behind. At this speed, they would never be able to return to Earth in their lifetime.

"How could this be? Is it because the Five-Colored Altar is still missing a piece? It's too slow."

As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin seemed to enter a time tunnel, traversing space and reversing time.

I'm getting into it!

But when the Nine Dragons Pulled the Coffin with a violent tremor and Ye Fan fell from the "Time Tunnel," the scene that appeared before him left him completely petrified.

Seven strange, large stars came into view, and the familiar aura emanating from them left Ye Fan speechless for a long time.

Of course, although they could see each other, the distance between them was actually very far, and it was practically impossible for Xianyi to fly back on two legs at his speed.

"How did I end up back in Beidou again?"

Gazing at the Big Dipper, Ye Fan sighed deeply. "I reversed the direction of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, but failed to return to Earth. It seems I can no longer go to Ziwei and have entered an unknown route. Am I destined to be lost forever in the universe?"

"This is truly... a case of shooting myself in the foot. Wait, could it be that there's something wrong with the method the Black Emperor passed on to me? That damned dog is always unreliable!"

"But it's no use saying all this now, Immortal Qin. I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task you entrusted to me, and we may not even have the chance to meet again in the future."

If he were truly adrift in the starry sky, then even if Qin Sheng cultivated to the level of a Great Sage or Quasi-Emperor, Ye Fan believed it would be impossible for him to find himself in the vast universe.

Perhaps only those who attain the status of Emperor have a chance.

But who will ultimately become emperor through the Devouring Demon technique? Will it be his friend or the ruthless emperor who is dead but not forgotten?
Only God knows.

Besides, Ye Fan felt that with his cultivation level, after the Lost Starry Sky, he probably wouldn't even live to see Qin Sheng achieve enlightenment before turning into a cosmic corpse.

If it really comes to that, Ye Fan hopes his body can drift back to Earth with the Nine Dragons Coffin.

"Fortunately, as a cultivator of Origin Arts, I possess a large amount of Origin and Divine Origin... wait, the Sacred Weapon that Immortal Qin gave me also contains a vast amount of resources. Could it be that he had already foreseen this?" Ye Fan was moved, yet also felt like crying.

I should have listened to Qin Sheng!

You can't teach someone by person; you can learn something from experience. Would you, Lord Qin, possibly harm me?
"I'm leaving Ziyue in your care..."

Master Ye sat on the coffin, closed his eyes, and began his life as a wanderer in the universe.

Now you've really become an astronaut.

……

"The Holy Communion has left again."

The Bagua diagram that had been hanging above the desolate forbidden land completely disappeared, and the five-colored altar once again fell into the desolate abyss.

It's like it was deliberately thrown out for someone to use once; isn't that a coincidence?

Subsequently, one by one, the Desolate Slaves disappeared. The once stunning Tianxuan Saintess, the renowned Ancient Saint, and others could never escape the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

"Waaah..." With Qin Sheng's comforting words, the little girl's crying gradually subsided, and her tears slowly stopped, which relieved him.

Qin Shengzhu saved the world once again, and the ancient royal family went further and further down the path of owing him an ancient royal weapon.

"Has Xiao Yezi already returned to the star system where his home planet is located?" Ji Ziyue looked up at the sky.

No, I should be a space wanderer now.

"With my array patterns here, he will definitely be able to return safely, don't be afraid!" the Black Emperor said smugly.

"Don't worry," Qin Sheng reassured Ji Ziyue.

"Ye Zi is right. Even if his cultivation stagnates, he can still live for two or three thousand years. As long as his cultivation is high enough, there will definitely be a chance to meet again in the future."

"You know your Ji family's situation best. A Great Sage or Quasi-Emperor will definitely be born in the future. At that time, will traversing the starry sky still be a problem?"

In fact, the Ji family has been sealing away the Great Sage, but they haven't allowed the Great Sage Ancestor to be born yet.

“Within a few hundred years, a great sage will surely emerge from the Ji family,” Ji Zi said. With his talent, he could reach that level in two or three hundred years of cultivation.

Ji Ziyue wiped away her tears, smiled again, and her little tiger teeth were clearly visible. "Don't treat me like a weak person!"

In fact, Ji Zi's early birth brought changes to the Ji family beyond just reforming their family traditions. It also broadened the Ji family members' horizons, allowing them to learn a great deal of advanced knowledge. Events like seizing an Emperor's Weapon in the Four Extremes Secret Realm will certainly not happen again.

The Four Great Emperors have become a thing of the past.

"Don't be sad, little girl. If your brother doesn't come back within twenty years, I'll take you to find him." Qin Sheng patted the little girl's chubby back.

"Mmm, big brother, don't leave Nannan again." Little Nannan buried her head in Qin Sheng's neck and said in a muffled voice.

Today has been the saddest day for the little guy since he was adopted by Qin Sheng and Ye Fan.

"Of course, I will always be with Nannan," Qin Sheng said with great certainty.

Ye Fan's trip to Ziwei is undoubtedly like a dragon entering the sea or a tiger returning to the mountains. He is destined to make enemies with the Ziwei cultivators and wreak havoc on all sides. However, his strength is not enough to sweep through that ancient star, so it is naturally not appropriate for Nannan to go with him.

This will not only put Xiao Nannan in danger, but also restrict Ye Fan's actions.

However, Qin Sheng thought of the gourd of nine-colored divine fire that Ye Fan had just taken from the ninth level of the Fire Domain, and felt a strange sensation in his heart.

The Beidou people haven't even had a chance to experience the divine fire's baptism yet, but the Ziwei people are going to enjoy it first. How can this not be considered affection?

Love comes from the Big Dipper.

While Qin Sheng was comforting Ye's wife and sister, the others were also unable to remain calm.

"A single platform, a layer of heaven, travels far beyond the realms, reaching the vast other side of the starry sky. This is truly a miracle."

"The Holy Body is indeed extraordinary. If he had stayed on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, he would have become a great threat in the future. Fortunately, he sought his own death and rushed into the starry sky."

"The universe is boundless and fraught with danger, especially on such an unknown star path. The Holy Body may never be able to return in this lifetime."

"Why didn't the Lord of the Wasteland show up when there was such a commotion? It should have woken him up."

"But don't you think it's a bit too easy for the Holy Body to enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land? This isn't the first time he's done this; this forbidden zone of life seems to favor him."

"..."

Even the ancient creatures were shocked by what had just happened and found it an eye-opener.

It's just that people in the world don't yet have the concept of forbidden zones, otherwise they would definitely label Ye Fan as belonging to the Desolate Ancient Sect.

Suddenly, the sky brightened, and plants and flowers bloomed, paving a wide road. A peerless white-haired man arrived amidst the flowers, attracting everyone's attention.

"It is Nangong Zheng, a peerless expert of the human race!"

Qin Sheng: "..."

Arriving now? To collect someone's corpse?
The humorous Master Nangong is only just making his appearance; he's barely even warmed up from the iron fist of the barbarians.

Someone went up to greet him and spoke with Nangong Zheng. When he learned that the attack on the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land had ended, all the old Holy Lords, living fossils, and even the two Great Accomplishment Kings had been wiped out, and that the great Nangong Zheng had turned into a statue gazing at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, why have you only appeared now?" a Holy Lord asked.

"While I was searching for something to protect me after entering the desolate forbidden land, I unexpectedly encountered a fortuitous opportunity," Nangong Zheng sighed.

"I suddenly realized something and lost track of time. When I woke up, I rushed here immediately, but it was too late."

He, the initiator of the attack on the forbidden area, arrived late but became the sole survivor. It was truly a twist of fate.

Qin Sheng listened intently to Nangong Zheng's explanation, and his expression turned strange.

This is such a familiar script: raising the banner to call upon heroes from all over the world, leading everyone to deliver a huge boob in the name of good intentions, and in the end, surviving... Master Nangong, something's not right with you.

Qin Sheng and Ye Fan killed the Supreme Elders and the Holy Lord for fun, but the real killing machine of the sect leaders was Nangong Zheng, who made the seniors willingly go to their deaths.

Without a doubt, it was fortunate that Nangong Zheng arrived late; otherwise, if he had gone in with him, he would have been doomed.

It's all fate.

Qin Sheng carefully observed Nangong Daxian and found that his cultivation had indeed improved, and he was already a half-step king.

In the original storyline, when Ye Fan arrived at Ziwei Ancient Star, Yin Tiande was at roughly the same level. Being able to reach this point during the Daojian era meant he had a high chance of becoming a king in the future.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Nangong," a Holy Lord offered his congratulations.

“Fellow Daoist Nangong, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land is too dangerous. The matter of harvesting the Immortal Elixir needs to be carefully considered. It would be best if you did not take the risk.”

"That's right. Now that your cultivation has improved, you might be able to sever your path in the future. But you should still focus on your own cultivation."

The various holy lords did not blame Nangong Zheng at all, and did not hold a grudge against him for launching the attack on the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. On the contrary, they treated him with great enthusiasm.

This is the spirit of the Beidou people: as long as your strength and status are equal to ours, we can afford to die.

Qin Sheng withdrew his gaze from Nangong Daxian and thought to himself, "I wonder where he'll go next to fight for immortality. There really aren't many places left for ruthless people."

At this moment, Nan Yao brought Qi Qi to Qin Sheng and asked, "Brother Qin, has Brother Ye returned to your hometown?"

"This is his plan." Qin Sheng nodded, indicating that Master Ye had the idea of ​​returning to his hometown.

"That's a pity. The future of Beidou will be greatly diminished without the Holy Body," Nan Yao said with some regret.

"Did the Demon Emperor's Palace borrow that Beast God's sacred weapon because they had designs on the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land?" Qin Sheng asked, somewhat curious about this question.

He could understand why Shencanling would spend such a huge amount of money to explore the ancient forbidden land, but the fact that the Demon Emperor Palace did this was indeed beyond Qin Sheng's expectations.

Nan Yao shook his head. "It was the Beast God who took the initiative to approach our Demon Emperor Palace to borrow troops. He paid a price; it was essentially a transaction."

"I see. It seems the Demon Emperor's Palace has reaped considerable gains this time," Qin Sheng said in realization.

The fact that sacred weapons would inevitably suffer damage when entering the desolate forbidden lands only shows that the benefits they received from the Beast God were enough to compensate for this loss.

Nan Yao exchanged a few more words with Qin Sheng before drifting away, and the others also left the desolate ancient forbidden land.

The deaths of dozens of senior figures have calmed everyone down, and no one will dare to plot against the Forbidden Zone again anytime soon.

Until a new stubborn kid suddenly appeared, Qin Sheng felt that the next dream chaser should be the Divine Silkworm Princess.

"Let's go back and hold a funeral for the old leader." In a corner, the members of the Yin Yang Sect all had solemn expressions. Wang Yangzhan had also died in the forbidden area this time, failing to defy fate.

"Fortunately, there was some good news this time as well. That little beast, the Holy Body, has also disappeared and will most likely die in the starry sky."

"The great revenge has been achieved! The great revenge has been achieved! If the old cult leader knew this in the afterlife, he would surely be gratified!"

"Hmph, this is what happens when you oppose our Yin Yang Sect!"

The masters of the Yin-Yang Sect whispered among themselves, filled with smug satisfaction.

boom!
The next second, the heavens and earth roared, and a holy handprint descended from the sky, its power boundless.

The terrifying fluctuation startled everyone. What happened? Had the Wild Slaves been unleashed?!

"It's Tosen!"

"Why would he suddenly turn on the Yin-Yang Sect?" Many people were puzzled.

"Lord Qin, what are you doing!" a powerful figure from the Yin-Yang Sect roared, unleashing a Yin-Yang secret technique in retaliation.

"How can I tolerate those who slander me behind my back?" Qin Sheng's indifferent voice rang out.

You think I can't hear you just because you're using telepathy? I've been keeping an eye on your Yin-Yang Cult for a while now!
"We don't have that; you're violating the rules of the Holy Land!"

Qin Sheng ignored such sophistry and struck down with his palm. Naturally, the cultivators of the Yin Yang Sect had no power to resist and were instantly annihilated.

Then Qin Sheng left without lingering, taking Xiao Nannan and the others with him, as if he had only swatted a few ants.

Those who witnessed all of this looked at each other in dismay, and some swallowed hard.

"Did the Yin-Yang Sect members just slander the Holy Body?"

"I didn't hear it; perhaps it was a private conversation. I can't be sure."

"It's baseless..."

"Wait, among the Yin-Yang Sect cultivators who accompanied Wang Yang this time was the fifth vice leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, and he's dead now!"

"One holy body is missing, but the Three Evils of the Big Dipper seem to be..."

The Yin-Yang Sect is not only electing a leader, but also a deputy leader, which can be described as a major reshuffle.

It must be said that this was largely thanks to the benevolence of the Holy Lord Qin Sheng, who continuously created opportunities for advancement for those under the Yin Yang Sect.
