Chapter 5: Xue Mu Xing

After ten years of cultivation without a fixed abode, Qing Wu Gui finally grasped another sense of killing intent, and his Asura Heart grew stronger once more. Thus, Qing Wu Gui’s spiritual realm also reached the early stage of Division of Consciousness, and his overall cultivation level quickly advanced to the same stage. Mu Han used a space transit talisman to take Qing Wu Gui away, preventing the other enforcement team members of the Tai Yuan Gate from finding him and thus saving his life. However, the people of the Tai Yuan Gate had stationed numerous guards on Ying Xian Island and Jie Mo Island across Ze Feng Star, closely monitoring those who tried to leave the planet using spatial teleportation arrays.

At this point, Mu Han had reached the middle stage of leaving the body. After ensuring Qing Wu Gui’s safety, she went to Jie Mo Island to assess the situation there, then returned to their hidden place to inform Qing Wu Gui about the entire state of Ze Feng Star.

“Mu Han, it seems we’ll have to stay on Ze Feng Star for a long time. The Tai Yuan Gate’s influence spans the entire cultivation world. As long as we show ourselves, we’ll surely be tracked,” Qing Wu Gui said coldly upon hearing this.

With a gentle smile, Mu Han looked at Qing Wu Gui tenderly and said, “Wu Gui, you’ve spent all these years fighting. Now, at last, we have some time to spend together peacefully.”

At that moment, their minds connected, and they both thought of living in seclusion on Ze Feng Star as an ordinary couple for a long time.

“I wonder how Qu Yi and Wu Yuan are doing now. What’s so strange about this place that even message boards can’t transmit messages?” Qing Wu Gui murmured in confusion after smiling.

Mu Han also frowned in bewilderment.

From then on, the two suppressed their true energy auras and wandered across the planet like ordinary people.

……

Inside the Tiny Realm Sphere, Qu Yi sat quietly in meditation. Forty years had passed since he completed scanning 60% of the Dual Path. In other words, the Tiny Realm Sphere attached to the Tidal Stone had now been in use for 95 years.

Over these years, aside from Qu Yi, who continued to sit and scan the formation, no one else could endure it. After reviewing all the spells and cultivation techniques they had learned, everyone realized there was nothing left to practice. Moreover, the spiritual energy inside the Tiny Realm Sphere was not sufficient for those whose spiritual realms had already advanced to make further progress.

Of course, except for Qu Han Xin, who had now reached the early stage of Yuan Ying.

This also owes its thanks to Qu Yi. Back when they were on Cui Mu Xing, during the process of extinguishing the Fire Moon Gate, he not only obtained the Pan Fire Cauldron but also carried away the entire Ling Yao Peak. The Artifact God selected a few spiritual herbs from the peak and had Shuo Bai, a master of fire-based cultivation techniques, refine five pills. Qu Han Xin gained the power of these pills and instantly broke through to the early stage of Yuan Ying, with five Yuan Ying entities in his dantian—one for each of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

As for those with nothing else to do, they could only simmer with anger, gathering together every day to complain. However, when the Artifact God noticed that everyone was complaining about him every day, he couldn’t stand it anymore. To restore his image in everyone’s eyes, this mysterious being actually taught everyone a very powerful divine skill: Planet Great Teleportation.

Planet Great Teleportation is essentially an enhanced version of instant teleportation, allowing one to travel ten times farther than normal instant teleportation. Specifically, ordinary instant teleportation relies on spiritual awareness; within the range of this awareness, a cultivator can teleport to any place within that range. Planet Great Teleportation, on the other hand, transforms the cultivator’s circular area of spiritual awareness into a linear range, as if all the spiritual awareness converges into a “spiritual beam,” naturally allowing it to reach ten times farther distances.

In essence, it’s a change in how spiritual awareness is utilized.

Thus, those inside the Small World Sphere discovered the power of this fast-paced spell and soon had things to do—daily, they worked to transform their spiritual awareness from circular to linear.

Just as everything inside the Small World Sphere fell silent, the Artifact God’s voice suddenly rang out in everyone’s ears! “Everyone, listen! We can leave this starry sky and return to the planet.”

Undoubtedly, this announcement excited everyone who had been struggling inside the Small World Sphere. In no time, everyone gathered by the lake and stood beside the Artifact God, staring at him with eager eyes.

However, Qu Yi, who hadn’t received any call from the Artifact God, continued scanning the Dual Element Path. “Artifact God, is it true?” “Ugh, Artifact God, you’re not lying to us, are you?” “Artifact God, after a hundred years, you’ve finally spoken human language!” … The crowd chattered excitedly.

With his hands behind his back, the Artifact God calmly watched everyone. Only after they all calmed down did he smile and say, “You’ve all mastered Planet Great Teleportation. Now it’s time for you to show what you can do. One by one, in this starry sky, you’ll need to undergo a year-long relay of great teleportations to return to the planet.”

Undoubtedly, the words of the Artifact God struck everyone again. Fortunately, it was only a year—so there was at least a definite waiting period, giving them some hope.
At that moment, a black meteor suddenly appeared beside the Artifact God, pulsing like a heart.
The Artifact God had already acquired the Tidal Stone!
Everyone stared at the Tidal Stone in confusion, sensing its uniqueness—seemingly containing some mysterious power.
“Alright, the first one to go will be the Golden Qilin. Use Planet Shift to head to the nearest planet,” the Artifact God said, ignoring their doubts.
The Golden Qilin was the one who complained the most inside the Dimensional Sphere, so the Artifact God took this opportunity to have it go first.
Soon, the Golden Qilin left the Dimensional Sphere.
…
In the starry sky, the Golden Qilin with flowing golden hair floated there, gazing into the distance and spotting a planet far away.
“I shift!” the Golden Qilin shouted briefly, already reaching thirty thousand miles away.
At that stage, its cultivation level was only in the later phase of distraction, with its spiritual perception range of about thirty thousand miles. By using Planet Shift, its spiritual energy concentrated into a single line, allowing it to reach thirty thousand miles. Naturally, while using Planet Shift, the Dimensional Sphere attached itself to the Golden Qilin’s ear.
In the silent starry sky, a golden thread moved at incredible speed.
Various energy zones in the sky—meteor belts, regions of intense energy, regions of cold energy, primordial magnetic light bands—all tried to hinder the Golden Qilin’s progress, but during Planet Shift, none of them could cause any obstruction.
After millions of miles, the Golden Qilin ran out of energy and returned to the Dimensional Sphere.
The Silver-Faced Howling Dog took over, continuing to use Planet Shift to head toward the white planet brimming with life energy.
Meanwhile, the four experts in the mid-stage of fusion—Li Heng, Liang Qu, Shuo Bai, and Lan Long—had already lined up, ready to take over and keep moving the Dimensional Sphere toward that life-bearing planet.
…
Xue Mu Star was considered a medium-sized planet in the cultivation world.
On this planet, there were three continents, adjacent to each other. A single circular continent was evenly divided into three by three straight seas: the Immortal Gathering Continent, the Demon Convergence Continent, and the Monster Gathering Continent.
As the names suggested, the Immortal Gathering Continent was the domain of cultivators, the Demon Convergence Continent was the domain of demon cultivators, and the Monster Gathering Continent was the domain of beast cultivators.

In the bright night sky of Xuemu Star, a streak of light suddenly pierced through the heavens and landed somewhere on the Juxian Continent, quickly losing its presence. The Golden Qilin, carrying the Dimensional Sphere, finally descended from the sky to Xuemu Star before swiftly returning inside the Dimensional Sphere. This place was an ancient forest filled with a strong aura of wood spirits, presenting a scene brimming with vitality. In the sky, three figures suddenly flew above the forest and stopped near where the Golden Qilin had landed, remaining silent for a while. “Elder brother, it’s strange. That streak of light clearly landed here—how could it suddenly disappear without a trace?” said the youngest of the three. “Third brother, forget it. Whether it’s a treasure or something else, since our Li family doesn’t have the chance to obtain it, we can’t force it. Let’s go back,” said the oldest of the three. Soon, the three left again. The Dimensional Sphere rested on a leaf; only after they departed did it take off in the wind toward nearby human settlements. Inside the Dimensional Sphere, everyone gathered together. “Alright, listen to me. We’ve returned to the Life Planet now, and everyone can continue living a wonderful life. I’ve already sensed my surroundings and learned a few things. This planet is called Xuemu Star, a medium-sized planet. The most powerful cultivators here are only at the late Divination stage. The three who came just now are all at the late Divination stage—presumably among the strongest figures in this Juxian Continent,” said the God of Tools confidently. Qu Yi’s soul realm had reached the middle stage of Divination, so the God of Tools’ spiritual perception also reached the middle stage of Tribulation, with a sensing range of 200,000 li. Naturally, most of the Juxian Continent was within the God of Tools’ perception, allowing him to gather some information about Xuemu Star. By now, Qu Yi had awakened and immediately ordered, “Ignore Xuemu Star for now. We’ve returned to the Life Planet. The most important thing now is to inform our people and continue executing our plan to expand the power of the Three Cauldron Sect.” Moments later, the six masters at the middle stage of Divination—Dong Qing, Dong De, Yan Ren, Qing Chuan, Shi Jue, and Leng Yu—all arrived before Qu Yi. These six people had been completely isolated inside the Dimensional Sphere and finally got a chance to catch their breath.

“You six go back to Tianhua Star. First, head to the Heavenly Punishment Mountains and find the Three-Tailed Dragon. Ask him to search for Wuqing. Once you find Wuqing, tell him that I’m going to Liupan Star and ask him to meet me there,” Qu Yi instructed calmly.
Hearing this, the six people, whose hearts had once been filled with despair, now brimmed with renewed vigor.
“Yes, master,” the six replied immediately.
Soon, they were sent out of the Dimensional Sphere to search for Yingxian Island and Jiemo Island on Xuemu Star.
After the six left, Qu Yi chuckled softly. “It’s been a long time since I’ve lived on a planet. Everyone must be bored. Then let’s have some fun on Xuemu Star for a while.”
“Great, great!” Everyone laughed in unison.
They had been bored for too long.
