Zhang Fan came alone to the main star of the Purple Firmament Star Domain. Upon learning of this, his parents and Qin Luoshui immediately headed to the Central Star Domain, feeling their own strength insufficient. They all entered the Boundless Tower to cultivate.
With a diameter exceeding ten light-years, Zhang Fan could now envelop this colossal star with a single thought. He quickly located Zi Shanlingyue and arrived before her residence with a single step.
"An old friend visits. Does Fairy Zi Ling wish to see me?" Zhang Fan's voice reached Zi Shanlingyue directly.
Zi Shanlingyue's branch of the royal lineage, originally supported by two Void Opening realm experts and one Dao Origin realm expert, could barely maintain its position among the thirty-six branches. However, with the demise of the two Void Opening realm experts, their branch's status was already precarious.
Zi Shanlingyue, who was cultivating in a secret chamber, suddenly opened her eyes, a look of shock and disbelief in them. "Brother Zhang Fan? How dare he come to the main star of the Purple Firmament Star Domain?"
Since the battle at the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable's dojo, both star domains had dispatched Almighty realm experts to track Zhang Fan's movements. If he had stayed far away, it would have been difficult to find him in the vastness of space. But Zhang Fan had come to the main star of the Purple Firmament Star Domain. How could the Domain Lord not discover him?
Indeed, as Zi Shanlingyue suspected, although Zhang Fan had concealed his aura, this main star was the Purple Firmament Immortal King's lair, covered by layers of formations. The moment Zhang Fan arrived, the Purple Firmament Immortal King had sensed him.
The Purple Firmament Immortal King wandered alone in space. He hadn't expected Zhang Fan to descend upon the main star. Was he here to kill him? The Purple Firmament Immortal King lingered in space for a long time before finally steeling his resolve and deciding to meet Zhang Fan.
If an Immortal Venerable expert truly wanted to kill him, he would have had no chance of escape on the cosmic battlefield.
Zi Shanlingyue emerged from her residence and saw Zhang Fan again, her heart filled with complexity. "Brother Zhang Fan, why have you come to the Purple Firmament Star Domain? The Star Lord has been constantly pursuing your whereabouts."
"It's nothing. My strength now is such that I fear them not. I was merely passing by, so I came to see you," Zhang Fan said with a smile.
Zi Shanlingyue's heart stirred. She hadn't expected Zhang Fan's growth to be so rapid, able to retreat unharmed from a peak Chaos realm expert in just over a hundred years?
Zi Shanlingyue rejoiced in Zhang Fan's progress and ushered him into her residence. They sat by a table, chatting about the events of the past century.
Zi Shanlingyue's cultivation talent was already exceptional. Coupled with the loss of the only two Void Opening realm experts in her family, her Dao Origin realm ancestor had channeled a large amount of resources towards her. Over a hundred years, she had now reached the Void Opening realm.
As they were chatting, two figures entered the residence. Zi Shanlingyue's pupils contracted slightly upon a single glance.
One wore a purple robe, his face chiseled like a sculpture, with sharp features. His towering form strode forward with immense power. Beside him walked a stooped old man, who was their branch's Dao Origin realm ancestor.
Zi Shanlingyue looked at Zhang Fan with worry, quickly rising and saying, "Zi Shanlingyue pays her respects to the Domain Lord."
Zhang Fan was somewhat surprised. He turned his gaze, fixing it on the leading man and saying, "Zi Xiao, you still dare to come and see me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you with a single sword?"
Hearing this, Zi Shanlingyue's heart trembled. However, when she looked up, her exquisite face was filled with astonishment. She saw that the Domain Lord, who had once seemed to command the stars, now had a slightly stiff expression. He quickly approached Zhang Fan, bowed, and said, "Zi Xiao comes today to apologize for his previous actions. If Senior wishes to kill me, Zi Xiao has no power to resist."
Upon hearing the Purple Firmament Immortal King's words, Zhang Fan chuckled and said, "It seems you still have some discernment. However, I am only here to see Zi Ling. We do not have any particular enmity, so there is no need to dwell on it in the future."
With these words, the Purple Firmament Immortal King's worried heart finally settled. He bowed and thanked Zhang Fan again before stepping aside.
"Zi Xiao, Ling Yue is my friend. In the future, in this Purple Firmament Star Domain, please take good care of her," Zhang Fan said to the Purple Firmament Immortal King.
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the elder beside the Purple Firmament Immortal King. He hadn't expected that someone whom even the Purple Firmament Immortal King dared not offend was a friend of Fairy Zi Ling. With just this one sentence, their branch's status would be unshakeable in the future.
"Ling Yue is my junior, and her talent is quite high. I will nurture her greatly in the future," the Purple Firmament Immortal King quickly pledged.
Zhang Fan nodded and turned his gaze to Zi Shanlingyue. "This is my last stop. Afterwards, I will head to the Central Star Domain. We shall meet again if fate allows."
After Zhang Fan left, Zi Shanlingyue remained in place, lost in thought for a long time. Her ancestor could only sigh. Zi Shanlingyue was already outstanding. Even looking across the entire Purple Firmament Star Domain, she held a high position. However, compared to that senior, they were ultimately people from two parallel worlds, and they would likely have little interaction in the future.
...
The vast, boundless universe was divided into four star regions, each with a Central Star Domain. To be honored as a Central Star Domain was not due to its central location in space, but because the cosmic ley lines converged there, the source of the cosmic star river was born there, and countless experts gathered there. The dense spiritual energy and active laws of the great dao made its cultivation environment far superior to other star domains, sufficient to support immortal sects and holy lands establishing their schools, thus earning the title of Central Star Domain.
The Eastern Star Region's races were primarily composed of humans and demons, with humans holding absolute dominance. In the Central Star Domain, there were ten great immortal sects, and humans occupied seven of them. Each immortal sect was presided over by an Immortal Emperor-level expert. The Dao Heaven Immortal Palace, where Zhang Fan resided in his past life, was one of the seven great human immortal sects.
Zhang Fan departed from the Purple Firmament Star Domain, traversed billions of star rivers, and after several months, finally arrived at his destination.
Viewed from the distant stars, the extraordinary nature of the Central Star Domain was evident. Star river branches flowed out from the Central Star Domain, and countless cosmic ley lines, like the blood vessels of a human body, traversed the entire star domain. Dense spiritual energy and active cosmic laws enveloped the entire region. Countless exotic substances converged at the center of the Central Star Domain, forming a vast and boundless continent. The ten great immortal sects of the Eastern Star Region were all located on the central continent.
Star domain flying boats came and went. Void Returning mighty figures, rarely seen in other star domains, were often spotted in the Central Star Domain, moving in groups. This was a sacred land where the civilization of immortal cultivation had been developed to its extreme.
