In the life of a mortal, we live in mediocrity. When we look up at the stars in the dead of night, we can't help but have endless reverie about the vast starry sky, thinking about the alternation of the sun and the moon, the movement of the stars, and the rotation of the sun and the moon. We want to get a glimpse of it, but it is always too high to reach. Our lives are limited, and our strength is limited. All thoughts of transcending this world are ultimately just "thoughts" and are difficult to achieve.
Only immortals have long lives and great powers, and can observe the mysteries.
When I first ascended the Zuo Sanqian Xiaohui, I saw that I had only just reached the golden elixir stage. But the scene I saw when I set foot on the road to heaven and stepped onto the stage of one person that day has always remained in my memory, and has never been erased by the years. Even today, it is still clear.
It was a palm print that fell, and the day suddenly turned into night. The dark sky was lit up with stars, gathering into a magnificent galaxy.
For the first time, the vast aura of the universe opened its arms to her.
And on such a night when night fell, she threw herself into the embrace of the universe and the turbulence of the galaxy.
There was no strange colorful glow that the other cultivators from the Nineteen Continents saw when they ascended, nor was there the heart-pounding spatial fluctuations. Enveloping Jianchou was only a powerful aura that belonged to her.
The land of 19 continents is shrinking under your feet.
The mountains and rivers have all become a small painting, just like a chess piece on a chessboard, which can be moved at will.
She rose higher and higher, and the stars that were distant in the past were rapidly magnified in her eyes and easily crossed a certain boundary.
At this moment, there was no cloud in the world.
Stars spun in the dark and silent void, and the light they emitted fell into Jianchou's eyes, turning into various brilliant colors. Some of them hung alone in the corners of the distance, while others gathered into clusters, hiding in the thick fog-like stardust, forming beautiful and mysterious nebulae in the universe. It seemed to be eternally still, and it seemed to be spinning all the time.
The human eye seems to have lost all its function here.
Without air and weight, all the cognition we were used to was lost.
The sad heart suddenly becomes quiet.
The void in front of her suddenly twisted when she broke through the boundary, and a vortex appeared like a ripple, swallowing her up.
But she turned her head and looked behind her.
The Nineteen Continents had already become a huge landmass that she could overlook at a glance, floating on the shore of the vast West Sea, and the mountains and rivers had become thin veins one after another!
A huge star!
Jianchou knew that its name was "Yuanshi".
The "Nine-bend River Map" records everything related to it: It is rumored that this is the first star that Pangu, the great master, led the human race to this universe after creating the world. It was named the Yuanshi Star, which means the beginning and the starting point.
The human race started from this and gradually evolved.
During the nearly four hundred years, she had looked at the "Nine-bend River Map" countless times and sketched its shape in her mind, but no matter how realistic the calculations and depictions were, they could not compare to what she saw with her own eyes at this moment.
Compared with a star, man is just dust.
If integrated into this vast universe, it would be so small that it is not worth mentioning.
Existence and non-existence seem to have lost their meaning in such a contrast.
The moment she was swallowed by the vortex behind her, Jianchou felt that her consciousness had been completely integrated into this vastness. She could not tell whether she was herself or the universe at this moment. Or perhaps she came from the universe and had always been its vassal.
Only the mind is still clear.
She knew that after this "journey" which was unknown whether long or short, when she opened her eyes again, what she would face would no longer be the familiar Nineteen Continents, but the unfamiliar and magnificent Shangxu Fairyland!

Stars form galaxies, galaxies form nebulae, and nebulae gather together to form star fields of various sizes. They have no specific direction in the universe. Some are spread out, some are clustered, some are like long ribbons, and some are like a swaying lotus.
Scattered across the endless galaxy are countless small worlds.
And in the depths of the galaxy, in a corner of the universe, there are hundreds of star regions neatly clustered into a ball, rotating according to their own different rules, but faintly giving people a sense of harmony.
This phenomenon is naturally unusual in a seemingly disordered universe.
But all the people involved didn't notice it, or perhaps they had already gotten used to it.
Because, this is the Shangxu Fairyland!
Any cultivator, no matter where they come from in the universe and how they cultivate, even if they are a demon cultivator, after breaking through the power limitations of their own realm, they will be drawn by the powerful force of the laws and come to this realm.
After the immortal power is infused into the body by the Feixian Pool and the immortal body is reshaped, one can be considered an "earth immortal".
Above the earthly immortals there are golden immortals, and above the golden immortals there are holy immortals.
The power of the immortals is divided into these three very rough levels. Because the Shangxu Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, immortals come from all over the universe. Even if they are all geniuses in one world, they are just ordinary immortals here. Therefore, the difference in strength between immortals of different levels is like a chasm. Even between immortals of the same level, there may be a huge difference.
Sun Cheng is just an ordinary earthly immortal here.
Before ascending, he had achieved some success in his own world and had been led to this world as early as nine hundred years ago.
But now, nine hundred years have passed, and he has never even left this star region.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I can’t.
Sun Cheng originally thought that the legendary Shangxu Fairyland must be a fascinating place no matter what, but he really underestimated the vastness of this universe.
Only when you leave the world where you originally belong, will you discover how small that world is.
Even if they ascend, they are just frogs sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
Being thrown from a well into this vast world, no matter who you are or what you have experienced, you will inevitably feel oppressed. On the one hand, you feel the vastness of the world and your own ignorance; on the other hand, there are so many talented people and geniuses everywhere. Coming to Shangxu is like starting over again. All the old accumulations become insignificant here.
The original spiritual consciousness was strongly suppressed; even if they had comprehended the laws of space and could open up their own little world in the past, it was all compressed in this world; the distance of teleportation and movement was also greatly shortened. Μ.166xs.cc
What’s more, a star field is already vast
Even if one becomes an earthly immortal, it is extremely difficult to cross a star field effortlessly. For an earthly immortal like Sun Cheng who has made little progress in cultivation for hundreds of years, it is naturally even more impossible.
When the cultivators first ascended and were guided by the rules, they often landed on the edge stars of the Shangxu edge star field. Only immortals with sufficient cultivation had enough ability to easily cross the star field, so over time, the Shangxu immortal world gradually divided into levels.
Most of the people on the periphery were low-level earth immortals, and after years of accumulation, their number was terrifying;
The inner circle is generally composed of high-level Golden Immortals, and their number is sharply reduced compared to Earth Immortals;
The several star fields in the center naturally became the domains of those handful of saints and immortals, and were respectively called Feixietian, Zizaitian, and Daluotian.
Feixie Heaven is the realm of ascended demons or immortals who have fallen into the evil way; Zizai Heaven is mostly the realm of Buddhist practitioners who have ascended from various factions of Buddhism; Daluo Heaven is the largest of the "Three Heavens of Shangxu", occupying 70% of the center, covering three star fields, and including all immortals who are not Buddhists or demons, whether they are Taoists, sword practitioners, talisman practitioners or other many strange and weird practitioners, they can all be found here.
After Sun Cheng ascended to Shangxu, his biggest wish so far is to have the opportunity to enter Daluotian one day and take a look at the legendary White Crane Emperor, Green Leaf Ancestor and Bixi Immortal Lord.
It's a pity that he has really bad luck.
Originally, he had his own sect in the lower world, and thought that after he ascended, the predecessors of his sect would also establish a sect in this world, and he would be able to directly receive him to Daluo Heaven. But who would have thought that after he ascended here, he found out that the predecessors of his sect had died in a conflict between Daluo Heaven and Feixie Heaven, not to mention the sect, not even a single person was left.
So until today, Sun Cheng is still trapped in this outer Haotian star field, selling maps of the Shangxu Immortal Realm and some basic information near the Ascension Pool of the Anxiu Star. He relies on guiding the newly ascended earth immortals to obtain the good things on them in exchange for the immortal stones he needs for his own cultivation, and at the same time, he also tempers his own state of mind in the process.
Ordinarily, after so many years, one's heart would have become calm.
However, in recent years, things have not calmed down no matter what.
The Ascension Pool was built like a huge altar. Not always people came out of it. Sometimes, you might not see a new ascender in a couple of days.
But Sun Cheng did not dare to slack off.
When no one was around, he would often practice beside the huge white dragon pillar in the Ascension Pool. But today, he was just looking at the piece of parchment spread on his legs.
Black parchment.
The snow-white lines outlined the cold and beautiful face of a female cultivator, but next to it was branded a scarlet kill order!
There is only one line of small text below:
Yuanshijie saw sorrow, or he had ascended. Ten Death Order Kill Reward: Saint Immortal's Promise!
Sun Cheng knew that as early as several years ago, this mysterious black parchment had quietly spread to the outskirts of Shangxu Immortal Realm, arousing the interest of countless people.
Everyone knows what it means.
Such a piece of paper is collectively called "Ten Death Orders" in Shangxu.
In the early years, there were many evil demons in Feixietian. When they tried to hunt down a golden immortal but failed, they issued an order to the entire Shangxu, promising that anyone who could kill him would get the benefits promised in the order.
At first, only Fei Xietian was using it.
But later on, those hiding behind the "Ten Death Orders" were no longer just cultivators from Feixie Heaven, many of them also came from Daluo Heaven.
However, after staying in Shangxu for hundreds of years, this was the first time that Sun Cheng saw such a bounty on the Ten Death Orders!
If you kill this "Jianchou", you will get the promise of the saint.
Does this mean that the one who wants to kill Jianchou is someone whose status is definitely not low even in Daluo Heaven
Saint
But as a dignified saint, why would you go to so much trouble to kill a small minion who "may have ascended" or maybe not yet
Even at the cost of making a promise!
It's really strange.
Sun Cheng counted all the top saints in Daluotian in his mind, but he couldn't figure out who was behind the Ten Death Orders, so he simply put the paper order away and prepared to start practicing.
But at the moment when he crossed his legs, the void above the Feixian Pool suddenly twisted, and the golden water in the pool surged.
Crash!
In an instant, a tall figure landed on the water. It was a female cultivator, with an indescribably graceful landscape embroidered on her robe, a slender neck, black hair like a waterfall, and delicate features that were tinged with a hint of indifference.
The moment she raised her head and looked around, Sun Cheng saw her face clearly. A bolt of thunder suddenly struck deep in his mind, exploding into the name he had just seen!
picture!
They really look alike!
Could it be that after all the hard work, the opportunity has finally come, and he actually waited for this moment of pie in the sky
