Chapter 876: Unknown Star Region

In the star region, a Universe Ship was speeding toward the little middle thousand world.

Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie sat cross-legged in a small dojo near a window.

“Our Master Ancestor has been working hard for over twenty years,” Jian Wujie said.

Han Feiyu nodded.

Because of Xu Yuexian, their mission had been delayed for 20 years. It was only after the Tianyun Beast’s location in the little middle thousand world was confirmed that they could continue the task.

They had also heard some news from their sect.

“Given Uncle Master Xu’s calm expression after returning, our Master Ancestor must have faced something serious.”

“Sadly, we’re too weak to be of any help to the Master Ancestor,” Jian Wujie said, his tone tinged with sadness.

“Yeah,” Han Feiyu sighed.

Whatever was troubling their Master Ancestor was beyond their ability to solve.

Han Feiyu peered through the ship’s formation at the starry expanse outside. He wanted to help his Master Ancestor but had no idea what she was dealing with or what she needed.

“Don’t overthink it. In all these years, nothing has ever been too much for our Hidden Spirit Sect’s Master Ancestor,” Han Feiyu said.

Meanwhile, Xu Yuexian stood on the spaceship’s deck, staring toward the little thousand world with mixed emotions.

“I must capture the Tianyun Beast and properly cultivate the beast-nurturing method my master passed down to me.”

“This is all I can do.”

Xu Yuexian sighed as she spoke.

“Grape, accelerate the Universe Ship to full speed. We need to reach the little middle thousand world as soon as possible to capture the Tianyun Beast,” Xu Yuexian ordered.

“Understood.”

“Please return to the cabin. Full-speed acceleration is safest inside,” Grape’s voice echoed.

Xu Yuexian turned and went back into the ship.

The Universe Ship then began to accelerate at full power.

At that moment, the spatial energy in a certain part of the star region began to destabilize.

Xu Yuexian’s Universe Ship entered the area and prepared for a space jump.

In an instant, the massive ship vanished and reappeared in an unknown star region.

“Warning, warning! Entering an unfamiliar star region. Cease navigation immediately!”

Grape’s voice suddenly rang out across the ship.

“What’s happening?”

“What’s wrong?” Xu Yuexian asked, frowning.

“The celestial trajectories are incorrect. We’ve entered an unknown star region. I’m currently calculating our location and the distance to the Feiyu Realm,” Grape replied.

“How long will it take?” Xu Yuexian asked.

"In three days, the Universe Ship needs to orbit this center to better determine our location," Grape said.

Xu Yuexian possessed a sliver of Grape’s primal energy, amounting to 1% of Grape’s computing power.

"Alright," Xu Yuexian nodded.

Just then, the Hidden Spirit Sect disciples who had come along sensed something was wrong.

They all gathered around Xu Yuexian.

"Uncle Master Xu, why has the Universe Ship stopped?" Xiong Li was the first to ask.

"According to Grape, the Universe Ship hit spatial turbulence during a space jump, which sent us to an unknown star region. We’re currently figuring out our exact location and should have answers in three days," Xu Yuexian explained.

"Go back and rest for now. I’ll update you in three days."

The Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples nodded and returned to their quarters.

Three days later, when Grape revealed the Universe Ship’s location, Xu Yuexian was visibly shaken.

"It will take 200 years to return to the Feiyu Realm!"

"To be precise, 218 years at full speed."

"At normal speed, it would take 327 years," Grape added.

"Is there any way to speed up the Universe Ship?" Xu Yuexian asked.

"Currently, the ship’s energy comes from its formation, which absorbs energy from the star region and refines it into five elemental origins spiritual energy to sustain normal travel."

"The ship’s energy is at 80%. If we go full speed, it will likely run out in 30 years."

"Then it would take five years to fully recharge. To push the ship beyond its speed limits, we’d need to add Immortal Jade or higher-grade energy," Grape explained.

"How much Immortal Jade would the entire journey require?" Xu Yuexian asked.

"360,000 Immortal Jade, but I don’t recommend it. The ship could collapse at such extreme speeds," Grape replied.

"How much for full speed?"

"30,000 Immortal Jade."

Xu Yuexian went to the ship’s energy room and, without hesitation, placed 30,000 Immortal Jade inside.

"Set course for the Feiyu Realm at full speed, avoiding any dangers along the way."

"Understood."

The Universe Ship adjusted its course and sped toward the Feiyu Realm.

Xu Yuexian then called over the disciples who had accompanied them and explained the situation.

"218 years," the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples murmured, falling silent.

This wasn’t the best news for them.

"Uncle Master Xu, does the Universe Ship have any defenses?" Han Feiyu asked, prioritizing safety in this unfamiliar and uncontrollable environment.

"The ship is equipped with 100 Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow power talisman bombs, capable of repelling true immortals. We’re safe enough," Xu Yuexian assured.

The ship carried 100 talismans, and she had another 500 with her, prepared by Xu Fan as a precaution.

"That should suffice," Han Feiyu said, feeling reassured.

Over the years, he had exchanged many items using the Tree of All Things, stocking up on defensive consumables, some of which could seriously injure true immortals.

"Let’s set off at full speed. 200 years is a long time, so focus on your cultivation," Xu Yuexian instructed.

"Understood," Xiong Li and the others replied.

Meanwhile, in the Hidden Spirit Sect’s underground space, Xu Fan, who was crafting artifacts, suddenly frowned. He split off an avatar to continue crafting celestial tool accessories while he moved aside to perform divination arithmetic.

"Fortune clouds shine, Divine Beast’s favor—Yuexian is about to encounter her opportunity," Xu Fan said slowly.

"What happened to Yuexian?" avatar number one asked while crafting.

"The karmic threads stirred. It seems Xu Yuexian’s opportunity has arrived. She likely won’t return to the sect anytime soon," Xu Fan said.

"That’s good. After that girl ruined herself with pills, it’s about time she found her own opportunity during her re-cultivation," avatar number two chuckled.

"Master, that trace of primal energy on Xu Yuexian has slipped beyond my control," Grape’s voice chimed in.

"No worries. As long as what it carries is intact, this isn’t a big issue," Xu Fan replied with a smile.

"All the items you instructed are in that space, nothing missing," Grape quickly assured.

"Good."

Xu Fan nodded and resumed crafting artifacts.
