“Alright, there's no need for formalities.”
After Tan Yun raised everyone, Qianqian's ancestral ring flashed between her fingers, and a white beam of light shot out, transforming into a massive Divine Vessel that measured a million zhang above the Star Domain Dojo.
“Take the map jade tablets of the Ancient Fire Prison onto the Divine Vessel and prepare to set off.”
Tan Yun and the other 120,000 disciples each received one jade tablet. Under the leadership of Dao Zi, Dao Kun, and Lion Bile, they flew onto the Divine Vessel and stood in three formations.
Dao Kun looked at the 30,000 disciples from the Four Arts Star Domain, and his voice resonated in the minds of all the disciples without a doubt, “You must all coexist harmoniously in the Ancient Fire Prison. If you encounter external enemies, unite as one.”
“Did you hear that clearly?”
The disciples replied in unison, “Understood!”
……
“Buzz buzz—”
Amidst the vibrations of the void, Tan Yun steered the Divine Vessel, resembling a massive bolt of lightning, as it swiftly flew away from the Star Domain Dojo.
The speed left Tan Yun in shock!
Although Tan Yun couldn’t discern the rank of the Divine Vessel, he speculated from its speed that it was at least a Dao Holy Artifact!
……
At noon, as the vast void above the Heavenly Gate Divine Mountain rippled like water, a space-time passage with a diameter of a million zhang appeared.
“Whoosh!”
Tan Yun steered the Divine Vessel, sweeping through the space-time passage and emerging above the Mountain Gate of the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace.
“Disciples pay their respects to the palace master!” The Outer Sect Disciples guarding the Mountain Gate immediately bowed.
“Rise.” After leaving this one phrase, Tan Yun piloted the Divine Vessel for two or three hours, sailing out of the Heavenly Gate Divine Island and appearing above the deep and vast Western Continent Sea Region.
The Divine Vessel darted across the void like a flash of lightning, rapidly traversing the air above the sea, heading north……
The Western Continent Sea Region is the largest sea area within the Western Continent Divine Domain. It took the Divine Vessel a full two months to fly through, speeding through the vast Sea of Clouds, heading towards an ancient canyon in the northern part of the Western Continent Divine Domain……
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another four months passed.
Majestic canyon peaks stood erect between heaven and earth, incredibly impressive.
Deep within the group of canyons was a gigantic canyon named the Ancient Canyon. This canyon is said to have existed for a long time, though how long is unverified.
“Whoosh!”
After flying for half a year, Tan Yun navigated the Divine Vessel into the Ancient Canyon. After an hour, he reached the deepest part of the Ancient Canyon, beneath a massive Divine Altar that towered ten million zhang.
At this moment, sitting atop a Divine Pavilion beneath the gigantic Divine Altar were two old men, both around ninety years old.
One of them, dressed in a blue robe and quite plain, was none other than the renowned great offering of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty: Helian Mengde. This man is the sworn older brother of the Ancestor Vice Palace Master, the Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon, and holds a very high status in the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty.
The other man, slightly plump with a pair of triangular eyes, was the current sovereign of the Elysium Sect: Hu Yan Zhang.
“Hahaha!” Hu Yan Zhang laughed as he stood up and cupped his fists towards Tan Yun, who appeared to be in her twenties, “It’s been three hundred thousand years, but Palace Master Fang still has her charm. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Although Tan Yun harbored disdain for Hu Yan Zhang internally, she still smiled gracefully and said, “Sovereign Hu Yan, how have you been all these years?”
“Very well, very well.” Hu Yan Zhang chuckled.
Tan Yun descended from the Divine Vessel, her skirt billowing as she floated up to the Divine Pavilion, cupping her fists towards Helian Mengde, “Great Offering, it’s been a long time.”
