C623 Stars Great Emperor Three Chapters in a Row
After the cataclysm thousands of years ago, the art of Body Tempering began to decline, and Woo Zhengyang was well aware of this. However, he never considered reversing the cause and effect of this event. He only thought that the loss of Body Tempering Techniques after the disaster led to its decline, never imagining that the catastrophe itself was intended to wipe out the Body Tempering lineage.
These were merely speculations after some discussion, and the true nature of the situation remained unknown. What was certain, though, was that the destruction of the Body Tempering lineage was indeed part of the truth. But what secrets did the Body Tempering Techniques hold that made such a mysterious force go to such great lengths?
With enough power, destroying a sect or a region isn't difficult, but erasing the Body Tempering Techniques from the vast world was an even more monumental task. Yet, the mysterious force succeeded. It erased the Body Tempering lineage from the outside world and sealed this realm, creating a divide between Body Tempering and Qi Refining. If Woo Zhengyang hadn't accidentally repaired the mysterious array of the Profound Heaven Sect, this situation might have continued indefinitely.
"Sir, can you let us pass now?" Woo Zhengyang asked Xuan Qixing.
"I understand your determination, but doing this is nothing short of a death wish!" Xuan Qixing's stance had softened, but he still couldn't agree.
"Since everyone is being open and honest, I have something to share that might change your mind," Lee Yuanye suddenly interjected.
"Oh? Do you have a secret to reveal as well?"
"Yes, actually... I'm not from this world!"
"What? You're from another place too?"
Lee Yuanye shook his head. "No, I'm from a completely different world!"
"A completely different world?"
"Yes, in my world, there's no such thing as body tempering or energy cultivation. Instead, we have something called technology. This Invincible Cannon Car, for example, is a result of combining what I learned in my previous world with the knowledge from this one."
"Technology?"
Lee's words made Xuan Qixing furrow his brow, as he had no idea what technology was. Woo Zhengyang, however, was more accustomed to Lee's peculiar words and actions.
Previously, Woo Zhengyang had speculated that Lee might be like Moh Lunhui, a reincarnated emperor, or perhaps someone from a distant world like himself, which would explain the differences. But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
"It's hard to explain, but just know that I'm from a very different world. Also, I've always had a strong sixth sense, and since arriving here, it's become even sharper and more accurate."
"Sixth sense?"
"It's a kind of intuition that allows me to sense things before they happen. This ability tells me that to break free from this world's constraints, we must head to the ancestral land."
"Are you saying you can see the future?" Everyone was shocked. What an incredible ability!
"You could put it that way, but it's not very clear, and sometimes it's wrong," Lee Yuanye said, scratching his head.
"So, you're saying this ability tells you the way out of this world is in the ancestral land? But you also mentioned it's not always accurate. What if this time it's wrong? This isn't something to take lightly. One wrong step, and it's all over!"
"Before, I couldn't be sure, so I hesitated to make a decision until I met Mr. Zhengyang!" Lee Yuanye said, pointing to Woo Zhengyang.
"Me?"
"Yes, it's strange. When I first came to the Misty Mountain Range, you were there, but I didn't sense anything. However, when you came out of the Misty Mountain Range the second time, my peculiar ability vaguely told me that you might be the key to leaving this world. Later, when I followed you into the Hundred Flower World, that feeling grew stronger. I think it's because you control the Hundred Flower World. That's why we ended up working together..."
"Wait, did you say he controls the Hundred Flower World? The one in the Misty Mountain Range?" Xuan Qixing suddenly interrupted Lee Yuanye.
"Yeah! What's wrong, sir?" Everyone noticed Xuan Qixing's expression was off, more than ever before.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Maybe you really are our hope to get out of here!" Xuan Qixing suddenly changed his tone, looking a bit excited as he turned to Woo Zhengyang. "Kid, did you really inherit the legacy of the Star Emperor?"
"The Star Emperor? Are you talking about the leader of the Star Pavilion?"
"The leader of the Star Pavilion? I'm not familiar with that title, but we're talking about the same person. If you have his legacy, perhaps we truly have a chance."
"Why do you say that?" Woo Zhengyang asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, who exactly is this Star Emperor?" Lee Yuanye chimed in.
"What, you don't know?" Xuan Qixing looked at Woo Zhengyang in surprise.
Woo Zhengyang shook his head. "I stumbled upon the Star World by chance, but I don't know much about it."
"The Star Emperor was one of the strongest among the great emperors of his time, and he led the resistance against a mysterious force."
"That impressive?" Lee Yuanye remarked, casting a jealous glance at Woo Zhengyang.
"No... that's not even the most impressive part! The Star Emperor's combat strength was just one aspect. His other mysterious skills were even more formidable. Whether it was formations, alchemy, crafting, or his research into the ancestral lands and the vast cosmos, no one could surpass him back then!"
"Formations, alchemy, crafting, and research into the ancestral lands and the vast cosmos?" Lee Yuanye looked at Woo Zhengyang as if he were about to devour him.
Woo Zhengyang was speechless and replied irritably, "Don't look at me like that. I didn't inherit any of this knowledge. Otherwise, would I be so clueless about our ancestral land?"
"True enough... That makes me feel a bit better!" Lee Yuanye chuckled mischievously.
Ignoring him, Woo Zhengyang turned to Xuan Qixing and said, "Sir, I have an idea we could try. It might just break the chains holding your mountain back."
"Yeah! You're practically unstoppable in the Star World. Maybe you can solve this," Lee Yuanye added excitedly.
"If you trust me, sir, don't resist. Enter the Star World."
"I've got nothing to lose at this point. Go ahead and give it a shot."
With that, Woo Zhengyang opened up the Star World, entered it first, and then pulled Xuan Qixing in with him...
