On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

The wind howled at the top of the cliff.

Ye Han listened to the whole story.

His expression gradually calmed down from the initial anxious questioning to a very quiet state.

After understanding the whole story, Ye Han felt somewhat distressed.

He thought that Bai Xue had been arranged by Ma to cultivate in another place, that they were only temporarily separated, and that he would be able to see her after he finished learning the Eight Extremes Heaven.

It turns out she left a long time ago; more than a year has passed since their last meeting. Bai Xue should have returned to Tianxue Star.

Based on Ye Han's understanding of Bai Xue, she wasn't the type to give up halfway, so it was impossible for her to choose to turn around and leave before the finish line.

This indicates that what happens on Snow Star tomorrow is very important.

The reason for doing this was to allow Ye Han to cultivate properly, which is why he left without saying goodbye.

Once she tells him, Ye Han will not stop her from leaving, but he will be distracted by it.

Ye Han was well aware of this.

"Where is Tianxue Star?" Ye Han's voice was calm.

Ma also understood that the calmer Ye Han appeared, the more thoughts he had on his mind.

"Tianxue Star is in the Huanmeng Galaxy, at least tens of thousands of light-years away from here. Once the spaceship takes you to a nearby Class A planet, there are many ways to get to Tianxue Star."

Ye Han didn't ask anything more and nodded solemnly.

"Master Ma, until we meet again."

"Let's go quickly."

Ye Han boarded the spaceship.

The moment the hatch closed, the noise of the raging wind and thunder outside was completely shut out.

He sat in the driver's seat, his fingers tracing across the control panel.

A mechanical announcement sounded inside the cabin: "Autopilot in progress, en route to Rift Valley."

Rift Star is the nearest Class A planet and the first landing point after leaving Octagon Star.

The spaceship has started up.

Ye Han placed his right hand on the spaceship and simultaneously activated the Dragon Talisman and Rabbit Talisman, causing the two forces to erupt inside the spaceship.

The ship shuddered violently, and its speed suddenly increased several times over, exceeding the ship's rated maximum speed.

The distance between the Eight Extremes Star and the Heavenly Snow Star is tens of thousands of light-years.

To think that one could be transported by such a spaceship was nothing short of a pipe dream.

At the spaceship's rated speed, it would take at least hundreds or thousands of years to start flying again from scratch. Who could wait that long?

Even with the immortality granted by the dog charm, one shouldn't waste so much time traveling.

Besides this method, the only other options are to acquire a spaceship or hitch a ride on Rift Star.

Utilizing the artificial wormhole jump devices laid by the Interstellar Alliance between various Class A planets.

That was the mainstream method of interstellar travel in this era; the jump device could tear a wormhole between two star systems, compressing a distance of tens of thousands of light-years.

But artificial wormholes aren't free, and such long-distance teleportation isn't something just anyone can do.

Regardless of the circumstances, Tianxue Xingye Han had no choice but to go.

We'll see how things go once we get to Rift Star.

Having just left the Eight Extremes Star, Ye Han was unfamiliar with everything outside, so it was best to be cautious.

Ye Han leaned back in his chair, and Bai Xue's image unconsciously floated into his mind.

Her lips moved slightly: "Snow White, Snow White, you didn't tell me something so important. Next time we meet, you must..."

......

On Storm Star.

Ma stood atop the cliff, gazing up at the stormy sky filled with rolling dark clouds.

When I first met Ye Han, he appeared out of thin air on the desert planet.

At that time, he happened to be watching the new recruits from the side and unintentionally saw this kid. He thought to himself that the reason he was here was probably because some free agent used their ability to send him over.

The abilities of the free agents' rainbow stones are incredibly diverse; while teleportation abilities are rare, they do exist.

He didn't take it seriously at the time; it was an unintentional act that unexpectedly led to him gaining an apprentice later on.

"He's a promising talent; I, Old Ma, can say I have a worthy successor," he muttered to himself.

A gust of wind blew, and the hood on his head was blown open.

Ma's expression changed as he suddenly recalled something else, his gaze gradually becoming deep and cold.

"You old dog, Purple Eyes, you pushed me to this point, you must have thought I was dead. You never expected that I could train such a promising disciple."

He didn't want to recall the details of that fierce battle, but some images were etched into his bones and he couldn't forget them even if he wanted to.

The feud between him and Purple Eyes didn't start overnight; the seeds were sown when Galaxy Eyes was still a small organization.

Later, Galaxy Eye grew stronger, and Purple Eye, as one of the five-colored eyes, expanded its power and influence to the peak. The conflict between the two escalated from minor friction to a life-or-death battle.

That battle lasted a very long time, so long that even Ma himself couldn't remember how many days and nights it lasted.

He won in the end, but at an extremely high price.

The old wounds in his body were left by the Purple Eye. Those wounds were not caused by ordinary physical attacks, but by the special ability of the Rainbow Stone, which was constantly eroding his body.

Purple Eyes disappeared without a trace, and everyone thought he was dead, but Ma knew that the old dog wouldn't be so easily defeated.

Now that Ye Han has mastered the Eight Extremes Heavenly Technique, he has no regrets even if he dies.

Ma withdrew his gaze, no longer thinking about these old matters.

He slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered another kid, the young man who called himself Mi Long.

That child didn't have Ye Han's abnormal talent, which allowed him to learn everything instantly, but he excelled in hard work.

For the past few years, Mi Long has been training diligently on the Eight Extremes Star, and Ma has occasionally seen his training progress.

That stubbornness is somewhat similar to Ye Han's, but not quite the same.

Ye Han's talent was overwhelming, while Mi Long's willpower was the key to his victory.

"It's time to prepare him."

Ma turned and walked down the cliff, his black robe appearing as fleeting shadows in the lightning: "However, this kid doesn't have Ye Han's potential, so his progress will be slower."

"But there's no rush. The Eight Extremes Heaven never picks on talent; it picks on whether your bones are strong enough."

His figure disappeared into the shadows of the abyss canyon, the thunder of Storm Star still booming overhead, a bolt of lightning struck down, leveling a mountaintop to the ground.

One day later.

Rift Star.

A silver-gray spaceship landed on a wasteland more than ten kilometers outside the city. The hatch opened, and Ye Han stepped out.

The moment he set foot on this unfamiliar land, the spaceship behind him emitted a familiar mechanical announcement: "Destination reached, return immediately."

The engine restarted, and the ship smoothly rose into the air, leaving a pale blue trail in the gray-yellow sky before quickly disappearing into the clouds.

If it says it will be sent to the nearest A-class planet, it will only be sent to the nearest A-class planet; it won't be sent any further.

They were already close to the city, and then they escorted them to the outskirts of the city.

Ye Han withdrew his gaze and looked around.

Now he's all alone.

He had spent some time on the spaceship researching publicly available information about Rift Star and had gained a general understanding of the planet.

Rift is a resource-rich planet, located in a remote area, off the main flight path, and is the kind of tiny dot that you can't even find on the administrative map of the Interstellar Alliance without zooming in.

This place once prospered because of its rich underground mineral veins. Mining ships from various star systems lined up in long queues at the port, the city streets were brightly lit, and bars and casinos were open all night.

Later, the resources were exhausted, the veins were depleted, the mining companies withdrew, and the port became deserted.

Although it is a Class A planet under the jurisdiction of the Interstellar Alliance, it has long been hollow inside.

Wormhole technology is also gone.
