"This is... a success?" True Immortal Zhushan couldn't help but move closer to the array barrier to take a look.
"Grandmaster Uncle?" Among the six Star Lords who controlled the Ten Absolute Formations of Sealing Heaven and Locking Earth, the leader turned to look at True Lord Ruitan with a questioning look in his eyes.
"There are no problems for now, the great formation can be dismantled," said True Monarch Ruitan calmly.
"Yes." The six star lords accepted the order in unison. As the immortal light of the great array gradually faded, the tetrahedral array bases flew back one by one and were collected by the leading star lord.
With the barrier to the normal starry sky gone, Ye Yang was finally able to truly return to the main world!
Listening to the long-lost ripples of time and space from the main world, Ye Yang smiled: "I'm back."
"Congratulations, young friend Ye, on breaking free from the void's erosion. To be able to create such a miracle is truly astonishing," a stranger, a True Immortal, said to Ye Yang from afar.
"This is True Immortal An Sheng, the dungeon master of the Lost Immortal Realm. He was the one who helped open this world passage," said True Immortal Zhushan beside him.
"Thank you, Senior An Sheng." Ye Yang nodded and smiled from afar.
"Thank you all for protecting me!" he said to the thirty-six True Immortals and six Star Lords who were finishing their work in the starry sky.
"They were just doing their duty." The avatar of True Monarch Ruitan reappeared beside Ye Yang at some point and said, "Your own value, the value you created for paving the way for the Immortal Alliance, is worth the Immortal Alliance doing more for you."
"Senior Rui Tan," Ye Yang quickly bowed, then asked, "Do I need to stay and observe for a while?"
"Hehe." Rui Tan Zhenjun chuckled, a rare occurrence for him. "There's no need—the Heavenly Venerable wishes to see you."
Ye Yang was taken aback. Heavenly Venerable?
Which one?
"Rui Tan, let's go together." Another person appeared beside Ye Yang and Rui Tan at some point.
This is a kind-faced old man with white hair and a youthful face, giving him a sense of otherworldly elegance.
You can tell at a glance that he's an old sage.
"This is Lord Fuxin." Seemingly noticing Ye Yang's confusion, True Lord Ruitan introduced, "He is a senior cultivator of the [True Spirit] Great Dao, much older than me. He achieved his immortal status before the establishment of the Immortal Alliance. If you had failed just now, he would have helped you reincarnate as a True Spirit."
Although the power of the True Lord Ruitan far surpasses that of the Star Lord Fuxin, he appears to have great respect for the Star Lord Fuxin.
Ye Yang quickly bowed again, saying, "Greetings, Senior Fuxin."
"Hmm." Fuxin Xingjun nodded with a smile: "Not bad, young man. [Void] This tiger..."
It has already consumed countless lives. In those days—I sent countless young talents to be reincarnated, all of them crashing headfirst into the Void—"
The matter that Fuxin Xingjun mentioned can be considered a secret of the Immortal Alliance, but Ye Yang, given his status, was still able to find out about it.
That was during the later stages of the "Silent Era," the most difficult and desperate period.
As the initial benefits of the "Tai Su Ascension Method" faded, people sought to explore further avenues. Consequently, countless geniuses devoted themselves to the research of the "Tai Xu".
Unfortunately, due to the existence of the Void and the Void Cult, the Immortal Alliance encountered unprecedented obstacles in its exploration of this realm. Countless geniuses were targeted and ultimately eroded and killed by the Void.
After the fervent and radical exploration, everyone in the Immortal Alliance calmed down, and the suicidal, saturation-style comprehension sessions came to an end.
"That was indeed a crazy era, with countless geniuses emerging and then throwing themselves into it, only to be burned up one by one like firewood." Rui Tan Zhenjun was once one of them, so he felt this deeply.
As they were speaking, the Great Space-Time Shift was activated, and True Lord Ruitan directly brought Ye Yang and Star Lord Fuxin together to the vicinity of the Silver Heart White Cave.
This is at least a white hole orbit numbered 10 or higher!
In other words, the flow of time here is similar to that of the vast void outside the Milky Way, about 10 times the standard time of the Milky Way.
"What terrifying fluctuations—" Ye Yang was even more shocked as he experienced the Silver Core White Hole up close for the first time.
"The Boundless Palace is just ahead. I'll go back by myself," said Fuxin Xingjun with a smile, and then flew away alone.
"The Boundless Palace?" Ye Yang asked in confusion.
How do you build a palace on the orbit of a white hole?
"The Boundless Palace is one of the four major control centers of the Silver Heart White Cave, or you could say the central hub," explained True Lord Ruitan. "You probably don't know this, do you? The 'Heavenly Venerable Haotian' wasn't originally named 'Haotian'; he had another title."
"It's only because, as the Celestial Venerable of the Immortal Alliance, he must be addressed as one of the 'Four Great Celestials.' Therefore, he is called 'Supreme Celestial Emperor of the Azure Heaven, Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Vast Heaven,' but in reality, this Celestial Venerable has another name."
Ye Yang nodded: "Was the original name 'Boundless'?"
However, True Lord Ruitan shook his head: "No—his true name is known to no one except the other few Celestial Venerables."
"What do you mean?" Ye Yang was taken aback.
Among the Immortal Alliance, there are many ancient immortals who have lived since the time of the Dao Ancestor's teachings. How could no one know the origins of this "Haotian Heavenly Venerable"?
"Not only Haotian Venerable, but the other Heavenly Venerables are in the same situation. Their current names are not their real names, nor are they their original Daoist titles, ranks, or ranks."
"All of these divine titles were changed in order to construct the Star River Array."
Rui Tan Zhenjun explained, "Upon reaching the Zhenjun realm, as long as you are still within the Milky Way galaxy, I will sense your calls no matter where or when you are. However, I will ignore those who are not familiar with me, or those whose realm is lower than that of a Zhenjun."
"This ability is even more powerful in Celestial Venerables; their will can even influence the perceptions of all cultivators throughout the entire Milky Way. If they change their names, then their names will be altered in recorded history."
The name that was originally remembered by others will also be changed from the old name to the new name.
Even teachers and family members would assume that he's always been called that—though they might find it strange.
But that's the 'recorded fact' in my memory.
"Besides memories, all records—paper documents, electronic storage, and spiritual artifact storage—have been altered."
"The Celestial Venerable and the others—in order to suppress the Star River Array with their own power, they abandoned much of their past."
Ye Yang was somewhat taken aback; this was the first time he had ever heard of such things.
No wonder—Ye Yang had always found it strange that this was a world of interstellar cultivation, not some primordial or ancient mythological world.
The Dao Ancestor is one thing, after all, he was the patriarch who opened the way and spread the Dao, but what the heck is the title "Haotian Tianzun"? Directly using the supreme god in mythology as a title, don't other people really think it's outrageous?
Looking back now, people didn't find it strange, because they got used to it the moment Haotian changed his name.
Later generations were born this way and naturally got used to it.
Ye Yang frowned: "That Boundless Palace—"
"It may just be called the Boundless Palace, or it may be that person was truly Boundless, but no one knows." As Rui Tan Zhenjun spoke, he led Ye Yang to the square in front of the Boundless Palace.
Whether it's the square or the magnificent palace, they are indeed built in a grand and imposing manner, exuding a sense of solemnity and grandeur.
However, there were no heavenly soldiers or generals guarding the place Ye Yang had imagined—this was where the Celestial Venerable resided.
If there's no need to make a show of things, then there's actually no need for any guards.
There were many immortals walking around the square, going in and out of the smaller buildings on both sides.
"This place is also one of the four major management centers of the Immortal Alliance, and those who work here are all central star officials. Even a third-level administrative officer, once transferred out, would have a status equivalent to a second-level local commander."
Rui Tan Zhenjun looked at Ye Yang and asked with a smile, "As for you, there's a good chance you could take up a position here in the future."
The Star Official system is bound to the Star River Array system. Once you are included in the system, you will receive corresponding benefits, such as enhancing your Great Dao power and the speed of refining celestial bodies.
In a more fantastical way, this position is related to fortune and the authority of the heavens.
Naturally, countless people would fight tooth and nail to get in.
Talented individuals cultivated through the "Enlightenment Program" are directly eligible for permanent positions. Essentially, by lowering the requirements slightly, it's easy to secure a job in a particular location.
Of course, it's not impossible to jump straight into the central leadership, but the competition remains fierce.
The fact that Lord Ruitan said Ye Yang had a chance to directly enter the central government meant immense benefits—
Ye Yang didn't say much; he wasn't particularly interested in these things.
There's nothing we can do about it; we don't have the talent for it. And ultimately, everyone is pursuing their own progress and personal strength.
This so-called power is only sought after because it benefits one's own advancement.
Of course, Ye Yang will not give up if he does need this assistance in the future.
"The Celestial Venerable is currently listening to a report, and the meeting is scheduled for six days from now," a clerk from the Cardinals Office told Ye Yang and his companion.
With six days to go before the audience with the Heavenly Venerable Haotian, True Lord Ruitan chatted with Ye Yang in a rest room.
Soon, they started talking about the Dao of the Great Void, since True Lord Ruitan had comprehended the Dao of the Great Void.
When the two were discussing the Dao, Ye Yang was initially able to exchange blows with Rui Tan Zhenjun.
Ke Ruitan Zhenjun has lived for many years without any wasted time. In terms of depth in a single field, Ye Yang may be superior, but in terms of breadth across multiple fields, Ye Yang is far inferior.
This was the first time Ye Yang had such an in-depth conversation with a True Lord who was well-versed in the Dao of the Great Void, and he benefited greatly from it.
Rui Tan Zhenjun was also somewhat surprised to find that although Ye Yang had not yet achieved the Great Dao, it was not because he had not accumulated enough knowledge. It was just that Ye Yang had greater ambitions and felt that the Great Dao was not perfect enough. Therefore, he had not built a perfect closed loop, which was why he had not stepped into that realm.
Ye Yang's understanding of the laws of space and time, his profound comprehension of the Great Dao, and the resilience and composure of his own Dao heart are in no way inferior to those of a senior Star Lord!
In many ways, they are even stronger than the average person.
Therefore, although True Monarch Ruitan was initially cautious, he later stopped worrying that his own Great Dao would interfere with Ye Yang.
It caused harm to them.
They then began to discuss the matter.
Seeing Ye Yang's studious and earnest expression, even the True Lord Ruitan was inspired to be a teacher.
In fact, many wise people are not unwilling to teach others and pass on their true knowledge.
It's just that ordinary people usually seem dull in front of them, making their teaching uncomfortable, so over time they lose interest.
Six days later, both of them felt a little unsatisfied.
However, Haotian Venerable's schedule included meeting Ye Yang today, so the casual conversation had to end there.
"What a pity." Looking at Ye Yang being led into the depths of the Boundless Hall by the document, True Monarch Ruitan shook his head.
-
It's a pity I didn't meet this kid sooner, otherwise it would have been nice to take him as a disciple after so many years.
the other side.
Ye Yang was led to a large hall in the Wuliang Palace, where a jade table stood in the center of the black and gold hall.
Behind the jade table, a figure in white robes was writing something.
The figure's features were obscured, but Ye Yang felt as if he were the embodiment of the entire Milky Way, as if this person were the same person he had comprehended during his previous comprehension of the Great Dao Tree, vast and mysterious.
From every movement of his, one can discern countless profound trajectories of the Great Dao, as if he were the embodiment of the unified will of countless stars—
"Ye Yang?"
Haotian Venerable didn't put on any airs, unlike the Heavenly Emperor who sat high and mighty in the Lingxiao Palace in the TV dramas Ye Yang had seen in his previous life. He simply sat there and simply looked up.
But in Ye Yang's eyes, this was a humanoid embodiment of the Great Dao—even without any airs, he was still awe-inspiring.
"Greetings, Venerable Haotian!" Ye Yang quickly bowed.
Haotian Venerable sized him up for a moment, then smiled—even though Ye Yang couldn't see his face clearly.
But I could still sense that he was smiling.
"It seems you have no further questions," Haotian Venerable said with a smile. "The report you submitted last time was very valuable. The profound mysteries of the void power—that represents a breakthrough in fundamental concepts."
"Perhaps future improvements to large-scale projects like the Star River Array and the Galactic Center White Hole will utilize application technologies derived from your theories."
Ye Yang quickly replied, "It's my honor to contribute to the entire galaxy."
"Hmm, what kind of reward do you want? They originally planned to give you a lot of Destiny Points, but I think that's too ordinary. If you have any ideas, you can mention them, and I'll see if I can consider them," Haotian Venerable asked.
"This—" Ye Yang hesitated slightly before saying, "For some reason, the Void Order keeps claiming that I am their Holy Son. They have repeatedly harassed me, putting me in dangerous situations."
"I'm fine myself, but my family can't afford any unexpected events. So, if possible, I hope to get some kind of insurance."
Ye Yang's words made Haotian Venerable nod: "Okay, I understand."
Then he took a blank jade slip from the jade table and engraved something on it.
Ye Yang sensed that a vast and boundless power of the Great Dao was gradually emerging from the jade slip covered with mysterious golden threads.
It's truly—spine-chilling!
However, this power of the Great Dao that terrified Ye Yang suddenly vanished without a trace after Haotian Venerable removed his hand.
"This golden scroll contains a trace of my power. Once unfolded, it can protect a life-bearing planet. Even if the protectors of the Void Cult attack with all sorts of extreme methods, they probably won't be able to break through it within a hundred years."
Ye Yang accepted the golden scroll and jade book with both hands, and quickly bowed gratefully again.
Ye Yang was confident that after he ascended to immortality, his strength would increase exponentially. He was not afraid of the small fry of the Void Sect at all, and he was even confident that he could survive against the Void Sect's Holy Temple Protectors.
However, Ye Yang has a weakness: his mother, Qian Tong, and his master, Jian Wo Zhenren, who is ascending and refining the Hengxing to become a true immortal, still lack the ability to protect themselves when faced with a truly large-scale attack from the Void Sect.
Unless the Jili Dao Cultivation Star System is personally guarded by the Jili Ancestor, the few Star Lords and the immortal array within the Heng Star System alone cannot defend against an attack led by the Void Protector.
Now that he has this guarantee, Ye Yang feels much more at ease.
