Chapter 2327 Ancient Star Path

Just a second after, three figures emerged from the tumbling void.

The leader was an old man in black attire who had auspicious clouds at his feet. He was tall and slender, and his eyes glowed with frightening lightning.

Standing on both his sides were a bearded man and a beautiful and graceful woman respectively. The latter was clad in black armor, while the latter was in a fiery red dress and a feathered crown.

Treading the stars, they whipped up dao light ripples as they teleported. Each of them carried a dominant might that belonged to the Emperor Stage.

Upon seeing the Grand Universe Ark, as well as Lin Xun and Big Yellow on it, the bearded man couldn't help but quietly comment, “Flying through the universe with a stray yellow dog. What a rare sight.”

The red-dressed woman's eyes were like blades as they swept a quick glance at Lin Xun and Big Yellow. “We need to hurry. I heard that those old fellows of Primordial, Heaven and Earth, and Mythical Huang Dao Courts set out long before us.”

At the moment, Lin Xun had changed his appearance. He had also collected his aura like Big Yellow. Since they were on the Grand Universe Ark, it was easy for outsiders to overlook them unless they used spirit sense to inspect the duo’s aura.

As a matter of fact, running into people when travelling in this infinite starry sky was simply like a miracle, an extremely rare occurrence.

The bearded man was attracted because his group had been experiencing several uneventful days on the road until they had seen such a ship, a person, and a dog. It was natural that one would feel curious under this circumstance.

“You’re right, we’ve got an important matter at hand. To think that the Flying Immortal River that leads into the Kunlun Dominion has reappeared after so long. This kind of opportunity is too valuable.” The bearded man nodded.

“You got one thing wrong.” The black-robed old man corrected him, “It appeared because Heavenly Emperor Shi used the taboo law power to forcefully open the entrance, so that we can all enter the Kunlun Dominion...”

Saying that, he glanced at Lin Xun and Big Yellow without any more word on the matter, only waving his hand. “Let's go.”

The trio wasted no time teleporting away.

From beginning to end, they blatantly ignored Lin Xun and Big Yellow.

“Does it not anger you that they call you a stray yellow dog?” Lin Xun leisurely watched the three Great Emperors leaving.

Big Yellow snorted, “If I did something to those three old fellows of All-Demon Dao Court, how could we have possibly found out that they are going to the Kunlun Dominion? And according to them, the entrance was actually opened by Heavenly Emperor Shi...”

The dog ended its last sentence with some worry. If Heavenly Emperor Shi was still alive, then what about its master?

Lin Xun's eyes flickered. “Those three aren’t the only ones heading to the Kunlun Dominion. Let's follow them and see for ourselves.”

He indeed hadn’t expected to learn such news on the way to the Kunlun Dominion. Inwardly, he also couldn’t help but be concerned about the situation of his second senior brother, Zhong Qiu.

Immediately, Lin Xun put away the Grand Universe Ark. He and Big Yellow then teleported after the black-robed old man’s group.

The starry sky was vast, as if without a limit.

On the way, the red-dressed woman suddenly frowned, “Why do I feel that the young man we saw earlier resembles a certain person?”

The bearded man’s curiosity was piqued.“Resembles who?”

“Lin Xun, Lin Daoyuan.” The red-dressed woman mused, “Although I’ve never seen him in person, I have seen his appearance in a jade slip several times. That young man looks really similar to Lin Daoyuan.”

The black-robed old man and the bearded man looked at each other, their pupils constricting in unison. They hadn’t noticed this at all since they had been too focused on their journey.

Now that they carefully recalled, they suddenly noticed the odd things about the man and the dog that they had just seen.

They had been too calm!

What kind of ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be terrified and in awe when seeing Emperor experts like them?

“When you say that, I do remember as well. That young man just now really looks just like that little remnant of Fangchun Mountain.” The bearded man's eyes flashed with a terrifying gleam.

The black-robed old also revealed a chilling expression. “He isn’t just some little remnant anymore. When the Nirvana of Transcendence ended a few years back, he was already a nebula-renowned supreme Great Emperor, the first one in a hundred thousand years.

“If the one we just saw is really him, then we have something interesting going on. He’s faded into silence for three years, but now he's traversing the stars on a ship. If we take this opportunity and capture him...”

He didn’t need to finish his words for the red-dressed woman and the bearded man to understand. Their gazes both became burning.

It was Emperor Daoyuan, who possessed the fortune of the Nirvana of Transcendence. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

“Go, let’s go find him.” The trio turned around and moved in the direction they had just come from.

However, upon arriving at the area where they had seen Lin Xun, the latter had been gone without a trace.

“Ugh!” The burly bearded man was chagrined. “Our appearance earlier must have alerted the brat. He must have run!”

The black-robed old man quickly spread his spirit sense in all directions, but a long time later, his expression also became gloomy.

There were actually no valuable traces left in this area.

“At the end of the day, he’s a supreme Great Emperor. According to the ancient records, the prowess of someone like him is definitely far beyond the average Emperor. It makes sense that he could escape without a sound,” said the red-dressed woman.

Despite her words, she was a little unwilling to accept this result. It was always regrettable when such a big opportunity slipped through one’s fingers.

“Let’s get back on our way.” The black-robed old man waved his sleeve and left. The other two followed suit.

In a dark corner, Lin Xun and Big Yellow exchanged an odd glance after having watched it all.

“The strongest one among those three is only at the seventh realm. The other two are at the fifth and sixth realm. Preying on you with this kind of lineup, aren’t they a little too full of themselves?” Big Yellow cackled.

However, their actions were understandable. After all, who could imagine that just a few years after becoming a supreme Great Emperor, Lin Xun had already made so many breakthroughs and had entered the Pervading Mystery realm?

Who would dare to believe that the current him was capable of confronting Emperor Ancestors?

Lin Xun coolly commented, “It's not that they're confident, but that news of what we did in the Underworld obviously haven't reached the Ancient Nebula Road. They wouldn't dare to be so fearless otherwise.”

Afterward, the duo continued to tail them.

With Big Yellow's ability, it couldn't be easier to remain undiscovered by the black-robed old man’s party.

Along the way, the latter probably could never imagine that the ‘missed opportunity’ had been following them from the shadows.

Meanwhile, the conversation between them also disclosed their identities to Lin Xun and Big Yellow.

The old man in black was Martial Emperor Juexing, a seventh realm Emperor. He was an elder of All-Demon Dao Court who held a monstrous status.

The burly man was fifth realm Battle Emperor Huntong, and the red-dressed woman was sixth realm Sword Emperor Hongni.

The three of them had made this trip per the order, appearing to have been issued by Heavenly Emperor Shi, that rallied them to the Kunlun Dominion to besiege the Master of Copper Sparrow House!

It was not only All-Demon Dao Court who had received this order. Other great courts such as Primordial, Panwu, Heaven and Earth, and Mythical Huang had also dispatched Emperor experts to the Kunlun Dominion.

In addition, it was said that this operation also involved some forces among the Primeval Imperial Clans and the Great Ten Battle Clans.

Learning of this news, Lin Xun and Big Yellow were both delighted and worried.

They were happy because this proved that the Master of Copper Sparrow House was still alive!

They were worried about his situation, which was bound to be incredibly dire soon since Heavenly Emperor Shi had gathered so many powerful Great Emperors from various ancient dao lineages to kill him.

Big Yellow erupted with a murderous aura. “Should we kill these three first?”

Lin Xun shook his head. “Let’s find out the specifics before we do anything. If we act rashly and startle the snakes, it will make Second Senior Brother’s situation even more unfavorable.”

Big Yellow took a deep breath to suppress its killing intent and said, “You’re right, we can only do so.”

One day later.

In the boundless starry void, a mysterious road made of stars appeared like a narrow, winding rainbow bridge that led into the deepest and darkest part of the nebula.

The Ancient Star Path!

It was a path to the Kunlun Dominion, and had existed since the earliest time of the primeval era.

Whenever the entrance to the Kunlun Dominion opened and the Flying Immortal River appeared, the strongest experts coming there from all walks of the nebula were required to pass through this path. Only in this way could they see the trajectory of the Flying Immortal River, thus entering the Kunlun Dominion.

Treading the starry path, strolling up KunlunI

In the daoist verses left by the Lord of Fangchun Mountain, there was a description of the Ancient Star Path. He had regarded it as his shoes while he strolled up toward the Kunlun Dominion. Such was something quite ethereal.

The Ancient Star Path was made up of countless stars. It looked like a glittering jade belt that wound across the dark void.

After arriving there, the black-robed Martial Emperor Juexing and his group flew straight along the Ancient Star Path toward the depths.

In fact, they didn’t dare to use teleportation, so flying was the only way to move in this zone.

The reason was that the Ancient Star Path was permeated with an obscure great dao power. Once they used teleportation, they would most likely lose their direction instantly.

The same applied for Lin Xun and Big Yellow upon their arrival.

When Lin Xun had first entered the Kunlun Dominion, it had been A’hu who had led the way for him. Starting from the Ancient Wasteland Domain and traveling through the infinite black expanse, they had spent nearly half a month on the road to reach the secret realm of the Flying Immortal River.

Lin Xun had long forgotten the path he had followed them. The only thing he clearly remembered was that A’hu had relied on the power of the Flying Immortal Tablet to find the way.

This time would be different. He would enter the Kunlun Dominion via the Ancient Star Path!

“The Kunlun Dominion, divided into the Nine Secrets and Three Forbidden, is regarded as the ancestral ground of the almighty dao, where danger and fortune come hand in hand. Every time it opens, it attracts many talented and outstanding experts from all heavens.

“However, less than one in a thousand of them would emerge alive. As such, this dominion was deservedly a land of greatest perils. No one has been able to completely figure out its mysteries...” Big Yellow introduced while leading the way.

In the far past, the dog had also come to the Kunlun Dominion through the Ancient Star Path.

Shortly after the duo set foot on this starry road, a rich voice rang out from the distance, “Fellow Daoists at the front, please wait!”

A group of divine rainbows were seen approaching, emitting a gorgeous radiance.

At this instant, Lin Xun’s and Big Yellow's pupils shrunk in unison.
