Zhang Fan arrived alone on the main planet of the Zi Xiao Starfield. His parents and Qin Luoshui, upon learning of this, were about to travel to the Central Starfield. Feeling their strength insufficient, they all entered the Wu Ji Tower to cultivate.
The colossal star, spanning over ten light-years in diameter, could now be encompassed by Zhang Fan's thoughts. He quickly located Zi Shan Ling Yue's position and, with a single step, arrived before her residence.
"An old friend visits. Does Fairy Zi Ling wish to grant an audience?" Zhang Fan's voice directly reached Zi Shan Ling Yue.
Zi Shan Ling Yue's royal branch lineage, originally supported by two Kai Ping realm experts and one Dao Yuan realm expert, could barely maintain its position among the thirty-six branches. However, with the demise of the two Kai Ping realm powerhouses, their branch's standing had become precarious.
Zi Shan Ling Yue, who was cultivating in her secret chamber, suddenly opened her eyes, a look of shock and disbelief flashing within them. "It's Brother Zhang Fan? How dare he come to the main planet of the Zi Xiao Starfield?"
Since the battle at the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable's dojo, both major starfields had dispatched Wan Wu realm experts to track Zhang Fan. If he had been hiding far away, it would have been one thing; the vastness of space made him difficult to find. But Zhang Fan had come to the main planet of the Zi Xiao Starfield. How could the Domain Lord not detect him?
Indeed, as Zi Shan Ling Yue suspected, although Zhang Fan had suppressed his aura, this main planet was the lair of the Zi Xiao Immortal King, covered by layers of formations. The moment Zhang Fan arrived, the Zi Xiao Immortal King had sensed him.
The Zi Xiao Immortal King wandered alone in the void. He hadn't expected Zhang Fan to descend upon the main planet. Was he here to kill him? The Zi Xiao Immortal King lingered in space for a long time, finally steeling himself and deciding to meet Zhang Fan.
If an Immortal Venerable realm expert truly wanted to kill him, he would have had no chance to escape on the battlefield of the void.
Zi Shan Ling Yue emerged from her residence and saw Zhang Fan again, her heart filled with complex emotions. "Brother Zhang Fan, why have you come to the Zi Xiao Starfield? The Star Lord has been constantly tracking your whereabouts."
"It's nothing. My strength now fears them no longer. I was just passing by, so I came to see you," Zhang Fan said with a smile.
Zi Shan Ling Yue's heart stirred. She couldn't believe Zhang Fan's growth had been so rapid. In just over a hundred years, he could withdraw unscathed from the presence of a Chaos Realm pinnacle expert?
Zi Shan Ling Yue was happy for Zhang Fan's progress and invited him into her residence. They sat by the table, discussing the events of the past century.
Zi Shan Ling Yue's cultivation talent was inherently high. Coupled with the fact that the only two Kai Ping realm experts in her family had perished, the Dao Yuan realm ancestor of their lineage had channeled a large amount of resources towards her. Over a hundred years later, she had now also reached the Kai Ping realm.
As they were chatting, two figures entered through the gate. Zi Shan Ling Yue merely glanced at them, and her pupils contracted.
One man wore a purple robe, his features as if carved from stone, with sharp angles. He walked with a commanding presence, radiating an imposing aura. Beside him followed a stooped old man, who was the Dao Yuan realm ancestor of their lineage.
Zi Shan Ling Yue looked at Zhang Fan with concern and quickly stood up, saying, "Zi Shan Ling Yue pays respects to the Domain Lord."
Zhang Fan was somewhat surprised. He turned his gaze, fixing it on the man in front, and said, "Zi Xiao, you actually dare to come and see me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you with a single sword?"
Zi Shan Ling Yue's heart trembled upon hearing this. However, when she looked up, her exquisite face was filled with astonishment. The Domain Lord, whose aura seemed to engulf the stars, now had a slightly stiff expression. He quickly approached Zhang Fan, bowed, and said, "Zi Xiao has come to apologize for his previous actions. If Senior wishes to kill me, Zi Xiao has no power to resist."
Hearing the Zi Xiao Immortal King's words, Zhang Fan chuckled and said, "It seems you still have some discernment. However, I have come only to see Zi Ling. We don't have any major grievances, so there's no need to dwell on it in the future."
Upon hearing this, the Zi Xiao Immortal King's strained heart finally relaxed. He bowed again to express his gratitude and stepped aside.
"Zi Xiao, Ling Yue is my friend. In the future, within the Zi Xiao Starfield, please look after her more," Zhang Fan said to the Zi Xiao Immortal King.
The elder beside the Zi Xiao Immortal King's eyes flickered with surprise. He hadn't expected that the great figure whom even the Zi Xiao Immortal King dared not offend would be friends with Fairy Zi Ling. With just these words, their branch's status would be unshakable in the future.
"Ling Yue is my junior. Her talent is also quite high. I will cultivate her diligently in the future," the Zi Xiao Immortal King quickly declared.
Zhang Fan nodded and turned his gaze to Zi Shan Ling Yue. "This place is my final stop. Afterwards, I will head to the Central Starfield. We can only meet again if fate allows."
After Zhang Fan left, Zi Shan Ling Yue remained in a daze for a long time. Her ancestor could only sigh. Zi Shan Ling Yue was already considered exceptionally outstanding, ranking among the upper echelons even within the entire Zi Xiao Starfield. However, compared to that senior, they were like beings from two parallel worlds, and it was unlikely they would have further interactions.
...
The vast and boundless universe was divided into four star-void regions, each with a Central Starfield. It was called a Central Starfield not because of its location at the center of the void, but because the cosmic ley lines converged there, the source of the universe's star rivers was born there, and countless powerful beings gathered there. The dense spiritual energy and active laws of the Great Dao made its cultivation environment far superior to other starfields, sufficient to support Immortal Sects and Holy Lands in establishing their foundations, thus earning the title of Central Starfield.
The Eastern Starfield's dominant races were humans and demons, with humans holding an absolute advantage. In the Central Starfield, there were Ten Great Immortal Sects, seven of which were human. Each Immortal Sect was presided over by an Immortal Emperor level expert. The Dao Tian Immortal Palace, where Zhang Fan resided in his previous life, was one of the seven great human Immortal Sects.
Zhang Fan departed from the Zi Xiao Starfield, crossing billions of star rivers. After several months, he finally arrived at his destination.
From the distant void, one could discern the extraordinary nature of the Central Starfield. Star river branches flowed out from it, and countless cosmic ley lines intertwined throughout the entire starfield like the veins of a human body. Dense spiritual energy and active laws of heaven and earth enveloped the entire region. Countless peculiar substances converged at the center of the Central Starfield, forming a vast and boundless continent. The Ten Great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Starfield were all located on this central continent.
Starfield flying boats came and went. Void Return stage powerhouses, rarely seen in other starfields, were frequently spotted in the Central Starfield, often in groups. This was a holy land where the civilization of cultivation had been developed to its extreme.
