A dimensional rift appeared within a region which bordered both the Endless Territories and the Terror Starsea. Two figures emerged from it, one a white-robed youth who carried a golden sheath on his back, the second an insidious-looking silver-robed man who radiated an aura of power.
"We finally made it."
"Haha, I didn't expect things would progress this smoothly."
Ji Ning and the Ninedust Sectlord both sighed in amazement.
"The two of us were so worried about dying at first." The Ninedust Sectlord laughed. "Thank goodness Patriarch Vulturas gave us that star map, and thank goodness your sword-arts have transcended space, Darknorth. And thank goodness you are also a Heartforce Cultivator!"
"We also need to celebrate our good fortune. The Starflow River was supposed to be the most dangerous part of the journey, but we were so lucky that we didn't run into anything dangerous at all," Ning sighed happily.
