Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 667: The Entrance Opens

In the following days, Shi Hao was very low-key.

He practiced his cultivation, and in his free time, he learned about the data on Chaobai Star.

Compared to that, Yunding Star was really too isolated.

Because on Chaobai Star, there were even ultra-long-distance Teleportation Arrays that could reach other Celestial Bodies!

Originally, interstellar travel was just a dream.

Even if the Great Sacrificial Heaven could fly through the sky and burrow through the earth, how fast could it really be?

The universe was so vast, two life-bearing Celestial Bodies were infinitely far apart; even a Sky Ladder powerhouse could not reach the other in their lifetime.

Because of such limitations, everyone was firmly nailed to the Celestial Body they were born on.

But then, how were interstellar Teleportation Arrays established?

To bridge two Celestial Bodies, they must be set up at both ends.

There was a way.

Weapon Forging Masters and Formation Masters worked together to create a type of interstellar flying vehicle, called a Starship.

This was actually an upgraded version of the Sky Ship, only that the Sky Ship could only fly within a Celestial Body, while the Starship could travel across the universe.

Usually, Starships were very small, only capable of carrying a few people, but once activated, they could break the speed limit and achieve spatial folding.

Because of the existence of the Starship, Formations could cross the universe, making the establishment of ultra-long-distance Teleportation Arrays a reality.

Take Chaobai Star, for example, it had seventeen interstellar Teleportation Arrays, maintaining close contact with seventeen other Celestial Bodies. Through these seventeen Bodies, one could travel to even more Bodies, thus connecting the entire universe together.

However, Shi Hao had not found such a Teleportation Array on Yunding Star.

Strange, speaking of martial arts levels, Yunding Star also had Sky Ladder powerhouses, why hadn’t it established contact with any Celestial Body?

"Land of Heaven’s Abomination!" said the Purple Gold Rat on the side. "Establishing contact with such a Celestial Body might make it also abhorred by the heavens and earth. Who would be foolish enough to harm oneself?"

So, had Yunding Star become an isolated island in the universe?

Shi Hao murmured, "So, if we want to return, can we only get a Starship?"

"Master thinks it’s quite nice here, no need to go back," said the Purple Gold Rat.

Shi Hao ignored it; the difficulty of manufacturing a Starship was too high, and besides, the materials required were of a ten-star level since only such materials could withstand the terrifying force of spatial folding.

So, even if Chaobai Star had them, they would definitely be stored in the treasure vault of some Dynasty.

For him to obtain one, how easy could it be?

Even borrowing one... uh, with his current strength, which Dynasty ruler would grant him an audience?

This matter had to be put aside for now, but its resolution was simple—just get a Starship.

Having a goal made things easier.

Time quietly passed, and the number of people coming to this Official Mansion increased; among them were many super geniuses renowned far and wide.

—The martial arts level of Chaobai Star was no lower than that of Yunding Star, and in fact, the number of Martial Artists at each level was even more, truly making it a grand Celestial Body.

Here, geniuses were as common as carp crossing a river, astonishingly numerous.

On Chaobai Star, there were as many as seven dynasties, and each dynasty had at least about ten Sky Ladder cultivators. Altogether, that was nearly a hundred people. If placed on Yunding Star, it would be an overwhelming number.

However, reaching the Sky Ladder was not the end. Only those who had cultivated the ninety-nine steps to the Heaven Ascending Ladder could be considered at the Absolute Summit, and it was said that there were only seven such beings even on Chaobai Star.

Jin Huai’an was one of them.

Although Yuan Chengmie was once a Sky Ladder Almighty, he had only reached the eighty-ninth step of the Sky Ladder. He searched ancient relics for two purposes: one was to find a way to enter the Immortal Realm, and the other was to reach the level of the Absolute Summit. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

In Shi Hao’s view, both Gu Tong and the Demon Lord Han Xiuyue should be at the ninety-nine steps of the Absolute Summit, while the Sword Emperor was likely advancing to the ninetieth step, thus possessing the power to suppress his peers. However, when it came to fighting several Sky Ladder cultivators at once, he probably couldn’t achieve that.

Of course, this was just his speculation.

Also, up to which step had Gu Shiyun cultivated when he alone suppressed all the Sky Ladder cultivators, causing the Myriad Sects to pay homage?

Shi Hao felt that this was something he would only understand once he stepped into the Sky Ladder himself.

He sat by the window, watching people come and go.

Unlike him, who arrived unnoticed, the geniuses who came after him caused a great sensation, the most famous being Meng Tian.

He too came from a dynasty, but in the martial arts competition, he not only defeated all the talents of his own dynasty but even swept away the peers from the upper dynasty, representing that dynasty in the inter-dynastic competition and finally emerged victorious.

After this battle, Meng Tian became famous worldwide, and he even gained some reputation within the dynasties, hence he was greeted with enthusiasm as soon as he appeared in the Official Mansion.

Shi Hao glanced over and saw that Meng Tian was tall, and despite having a common appearance, his entire being emitted a blue light, like a deity, with an incredibly intimidating aura.

It was said that Meng Tian had already ignited the Incense Flame, but to become even more powerful, he continually suppressed his cultivation, aiming to breakthrough in the Ancient World.

Apart from Meng Tian, there were many other superb talents, but none shone as brightly as him, leaving a deep impression on Shi Hao.

He also learned the identities of the sisters he met before—they were two princesses from the Dayan Dynasty.

The elder sister was Jin Yunqing, the younger was Jin Yunqian. Their cultivation was the same as his, both in the Founding King Court. Yet, they had also obtained the qualifications to enter the Ancient World.

On what basis?

Just because their father was the current Great Emperor.

It didn’t matter that they weren’t strong; the Jins Imperial Dynasty specifically cultivated a special talent for the expedition to the Ancient World, who was to protect the princesses during their journey, ensuring their safety.

Furthermore, would Jin Huai’an not bestow protective treasures to his beloved daughters?

Two days later, the Ancient World finally opened.

Shi Hao was still in bed when he suddenly felt the ground shake violently—the entire Official Mansion had collapsed.

But those living here were also of the Founding King Court rank—Mo Bu soared into the air, landing around the area.

Boom! The Official Mansion collapsed, but no one spared it a second glance.

All eyes were fixed on the entrance to the Ancient World. Previously insignificant, it now shone brightly, forming a spinning Light Gate, profoundly deep, emitting waves of ancient air that clashed with the surroundings.

It was an air from a previous world, naturally rejected by this current one.

"Let’s depart," announced a prince from the Dayan Dynasty, who personally oversaw the process, "Enter in order, no scrambling!"

The first to enter, naturally, were the two princesses of the Dayan Dynasty, the host, along with a guard, followed by the royal families from the other six dynasties, then the children of high officials from these seven dynasties, followed by the dynasties, and lastly the people from the dynasties.

The hierarchy was strict, clearly defined.
