"Who are you!?" Xing Yue vigilantly eyed the man in front of him, unable to take his eyes off the invisible pressure surging from this figure.
"I am Yang Su, you native would call me Outer Gods!" He stated, with his black robe blending in with the shadow of the pillars of Xing Yue cave abode, which was already almost pitch black with a hint of red.
"Outer gods?" Xing Yue murmured, narrowing his eyes toward the shadow figure in front of him.
Boom!
At this moment, a flurry of wind assaulted Xing Yue's direction!
Too fast!
Xing Yue sway and turn into a bloody mist, attempting to dodge the gale of wind that suddenly appear!
Seeing this, Yang Su snorted, then tap the storage bag on his waist, causing a beautiful yet luminescent fan to appear in his hand.
"Let's see if you can outrun the wind!" He shouted, then lightly wave the silver, decorated fan in his hand.
Shoooo!
A gush of green wind appear behind the first wind conjured by Yang Su, pushing it further as it chased after the bloody mist!
The cave was quite spacious, and despite the lack of light in the cave, he was accustomed to this environment after living here for so long.
Even so, he attempt flying in a zig-zag manner, attempting to knock the wind off to no avail.
"Blood Seal!" Xing Yue twisted his head, spatting out a jet storm of blood from his mouth, which formed a seal attempting to delay the wind.
Boom!
Instantly, a loud bang echoed in the cave, causing the entire surrounding to shudder.
The blood seal instantly shattered the moment it grazed the green wind!
This sight startled Xing Yue!
"Y-You!" Xing Yue gasped, causing his disfigure face to distort even further, unable to process what just happened, then suddenly," You are not a heaven immortal!"
Yang Su smiled, then flap the fan toward his right hand, letting it naturally close.
When the fan close, the wind that was chasing Xing Yue also vanished, melding with the surrounding as the noise died down.
"That's right." Yang Su sneered, his eyes flashing with disdain. "You and your so-called Heaven Immortals are nothing but mere peak Golden Cores in my eyes."
Xing Yue's face contorted with anger at the words, but he couldn't deny the fact that he was being overwhelmed by Yang Su's cultivation and insight into the natural laws.
"What realm is this Golden Core?" he asked, still struggling to comprehend the implications of Yang Su's words.
Yang Su's smile grew even more smug as he stepped out of the shadows, revealing his scholarly appearance that had a similar bearing to Ling Shi.
"Where I come from, the Golden Core realm is considered average," he said with a haughty tone.
His words caused Xing Yue to flinched, halting his movement as he glare at Yang Su shadow.
Of course, Yang Su was quick tempered unlike Ling Shi, and compare to Ling Shi, he was lacking in terms of 'class'.
However, this statement along with his appearance shocked Xing Yue," It's you!" He exclaimed.
The spitting image of that Outer Gods from almost a hundred years ago emerged in his mind, and that image completely overlap with Yang Su's figure!
"There is Qi-Refinining, then Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and finally Soul formation, above that is the Honorable Ascension!" At this point, Xing Yue already dispersed his mist form.
Learning about the realms above Heaven Immortal, he stammered, took a couple of step back, unable to come to terms with the higher realms!
He looked up at Yang Su, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. "This can't be true," he stammered, "There can't be realms above Heaven Immortal. It's impossible."
But Yang Su just smiled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Believe what you will," he said. "But the truth remains the same. There are realms above Heaven Immortal, and they are far more powerful than anything you can imagine."
Yang Su stood there quietly, looking at Xing Yue whose eyes were bulged and figure was frozen.
Then, he proceed to persuaded," I know you have a feud with the Song's Family, I too, have an interest in the Song's family...."
As Xing Yue listened to Yang Su's words, a sudden chill ran down his spine. Was this shadowy figure really interested in the Song's Family, or did he have some ulterior motive?
The mention of the higher realms, which Xing Yue had never even heard of before, only added to his confusion and fear. Was this mysterious cultivator truly more powerful than he could ever imagine?
Xing Yue took another step back, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of everything that was happening. Was he in over his head? Should he try to run away?
Yang Su's voice broke through his thoughts, interrupting his inner turmoil. "Join forces with me," he said, a sly smile creeping across his face, "Together, we can take down the Song's Family and claim their treasures for ourselves."
Xing Yue hesitated, unsure if he could trust this stranger. But the thought of getting revenge on the Song's Family was too tempting to resist.
As the two cultivators stood facing each other, the tension in the air grew thicker by the second. Would Xing Yue agree to team up with Yang Su? And if he did, would it be a fatal mistake?
...
"Taizhou star?" She murmured, pinching the jade talisman in her palm as she look at the map of the star stream.
On it, was the location of countless planets, along with dozens of star system which make up the entire star stream!
This star map brought back some memories, where she used to roam as a nascent soul cultivator.
At this moment, Tulan was currently flying away from Earth's Star System.
According to the map, if she keep heading this direction, then she would arrive at the Taizhou star.
How far away is it? Several Star systems is all she can say.
As for why she didn't use spatial teleportation, it was because she wasn't sure what is on the other side.
It was simply too dangerous to rashly use manipulate space and directly appear on Taizhou Star without knowing the condition of that place. This was her cautious side.
Not to mention, the people there would not take it kindly if someone directly teleport into those big planet without first going through an inspection process, she didn't want to deal with those inspector.
...
At the same time, Gongniu saw Tulan flying past the star system, causing him to raise his head," Where is sister going?"
Although he does not meddle in her affairs, he was curious.
Because master is in seclusion, he was responsible for overlooking the star system.
If not for Yu Yan's word, he would probably expand his divine sense to overseer the entire star stream!
Seeing that Tulan already flew outside the range of his divine sense, he tap his paw on the table, causing his divine sense to expand greatly!
"This star stream is too poor." He shook his head, and sighed in pity as a glint appear in his gleaming eyes.
In his eyes, reflects the entire star stream!
With the expansion of his divine sense, the entire star stream was within his view!
However, that doesn't mean he could see every minute details in the star stream, but rather, a general view of it, and in this general view, he saw Tulan making a straight line to a certain planet.
"Taizhou Planet?"
At this point, he retracted his divine sense.
Simply by expanding his divine sense, he felt a couple of blind spot that were hidden from his view, and not only that, there were also a couple of places where his divine sense instantly snapped.
He knew that although this star stream is poor and desolate, there is bound to be some old monster in hiding or keeping a low profile.
This sort of situation were quite common throughout the entire star river, let alone the vast star sea.
...
On the other side.
Tulan chuckled as she adjusted the mask that was slipping down her slender face. "Was that Gongniu's divine sense?" she wondered.
She felt a wave of energy washing over her figure, moving beyond the range of her vision. As someone who had spent a significant amount of time with Gongniu, she was quite familiar with his divine sense.
Without much obstacle, she allowed his divine sense to pass through her as she flew forward with a steady pace.
