Chapter 791: The Power of the Ancient Cang Realm

Xu Fan nodded and instantly teleported to the Spiritual Energy Cannonball chamber of the Ten Thousand Star Ship. With a wave of his hand, he sealed the fusion power of Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow into ten Spiritual Energy Cannonballs.

The cultivators who had been waiting there quickly loaded the sealed Spiritual Energy missiles.

"Elder Ming Kong, you can focus on the space jump. The spatial barriers they’ve set up won’t affect the Ten Thousand Star Ship," Xu Fan said, pulling out a spatial magic cube.

He had brought it along, thinking it might come in handy.

"Thank you, Grand Elder, for your assistance," Ming Kong replied before turning his full attention to piloting the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

"Old friend, I don’t have time for games this time. Farewell~," Ming Kong said as the Ten Thousand Star Ship fired a red beam that pierced through space, delivering the Spiritual Energy missiles near the giant bird Universe Ship.

Once the task was complete, the Ten Thousand Star Ship ignored the spatial barrier and tore through space to make its escape.

Meanwhile, aboard the giant bird Universe Ship, a true immortal from another race glanced at the incoming Spiritual Energy Cannonball with a sneer.

Though he was surprised that the Ten Thousand Star Ship could break through space and escape, he wasn’t worried. Two other Universe Ships were already locked onto it, ensuring it couldn’t get far.

The giant bird Universe Ship fired its own Spiritual Energy Cannonball, aiming to intercept and detonate the Ten Thousand Star Ship’s missile midair.

"That ship looks familiar… Have I seen it before?" the true immortal muttered, watching the direction of the fleeing Ten Thousand Star Ship.

Just then, an unusual energy ripple surged through the area.

The true immortal’s eyes caught a flash of fire before the entire giant bird Universe Ship was engulfed by the fusion power.

"No!!!"

The true immortal tried to teleport away, but it was too late.

The giant bird Universe Ship, caught in the fusion power of Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow, disintegrated like a paper boat in flames.

Back on the Ten Thousand Star Ship, Xu Fan felt the shockwave of the explosion and nodded in satisfaction.

"While we couldn’t kill the true immortal on that pirate ship, destroying their vessel was more than enough."

"Even if the true immortal survived, being stranded in the star region without rescue would mean drifting for thousands of years. And if they’re unlucky enough to run into a star beast, that’ll be the end of them," Ming Kong said with a grin.

"What about the other two pirate ships? Why didn’t they follow us?" Xu Fan asked, curious.

"They saw how things were going and bolted immediately."

"Those space pirates are always cautious."

After reuniting with his old friend, Ming Kong was brimming with excitement, as if a long-standing grudge had been settled.

"Too bad. I was hoping to chase down the remaining Universe Ship and test my skills against the true immortal aboard it," Xu Fan said, feeling a twinge of regret. He had been eager to try out the wide roads he’d comprehended in the star region.

"No worries~," Ming Kong said enthusiastically.

The Ten Thousand Star Ship swiftly changed course and accelerated toward a distant point.

Xu Fan could faintly hear the roar of the spiritual energy core, sounding like an engine pushed to its limits.

"They must have scattered, but as long as we follow the spatial transfer trail left by one of the Universe Ships, we’ll catch up," Ming Kong said, his eyes locked on the control array as his hands moved so fast they seemed to blur.

The Ten Thousand Star Ship accelerated, its spiritual energy core roaring with power.

“You seem a bit excited,” Xu Fan remarked, observing Ming Kong’s expression.

“It feels like I’m finally getting revenge. Every time I came to the Ancient Cang Realm, that giant bird Universe Ship would chase me for ages, like a stray dog.”

“When the Upper Zun is around, it’s not so bad, but when he’s not, I feel like my life could be snuffed out at any moment.”

“Now that the Grand Elder wants to destroy the other two Universe Ships, Ming Kong is more than eager for it,” Ming Kong said.

Xu Fan shrugged indifferently. As long as there was a true immortal to test his understanding of the wide road, he didn’t mind.

As the Ten Thousand Star Ship reached its maximum speed, it began to detect the massive spatial ripples left by one of the Universe Ships’ space jumps.

After another space jump, Xu Fan caught sight of the Universe Ship.

It was a sleek black oval, slightly smaller than the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

Xu Fan pulled out the spatial magic cube, activated the spell, and sealed the surrounding space with a spatial seal.

“Stay close to that Universe Ship; I’ll be back soon,” Xu Fan said, stepping out of the control room and vanishing.

Meanwhile, on the black oval Universe Ship, a true immortal from another race stared in despair at the pursuing Ten Thousand Star Ship.

A figure materialized silently in the control room.

Xu Fan looked at the true immortal with mild disappointment.

To him, this true immortal was far less impressive than the Golden Winged Roc avatar that had once descended to the lower world.

“Not much of a challenge,” Xu Fan muttered, waving his hand to subdue the true immortal.

“Greetings, Master,” the true immortal said, bowing respectfully.

Xu Fan nodded and pressed a finger to the true immortal’s forehead.

Images of the true immortal’s life began to unfold before Xu Fan’s eyes.

The true immortal had been born in a middle thousand world with no path to ascension.

Blessed with extraordinary talent, he quickly became a key figure in his tribe.

After 5,000 years, he reached the Great Ascension realm and spent millennia guarding his people.

With only 2,000 years left before his lifespan ran out, he pooled resources with a few friends to acquire a Star Ship and set out in search of the legendary Immortal Realm.

By sheer luck, he wandered the star region for over a thousand years before being captured by the recently destroyed giant bird Universe Ship.

After being conscripted, he rose to the rank of Quasi-Immortal in the star region, only to cross paths with Xu Fan.

“Return to these coordinates and wait outside the Feiyu Realm,” Xu Fan commanded.

“As you wish, Master.”

The true immortal adjusted the course of the Universe Ship and headed for the Feiyu Realm.

Xu Fan returned to the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

“Grand Elder, what happened over there?” Ming Kong asked, disappointed that the anticipated battle hadn’t occurred.

“The leader was a true immortal from another race. I’ve already taken control of him,” Xu Fan replied, sounding somewhat unimpressed.

“What about the Universe Ship?”

“I sent it back to wait outside the Feiyu Realm,” Xu Fan said.

Ming Kong nodded and steered the Ten Thousand Star Ship toward the Ancient Cang Realm.

“The Ancient Cang Realm is the trading hub for the eleven known middle thousand worlds in this region, including powerful ones like the South Mountain Realm.”

“The main currency here is Immortal Jade, followed by celestial tools and Dao tools.”

“Because the Ancient Cang Realm is relatively close to the Immortal Realm, merchant groups from there occasionally come to trade. If you’re lucky, you can find some rare treasures.”

As they approached the Ancient Cang Realm, Ming Kong continued to explain.

“Is it a merchant group from the Wood Origin Realm?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

Ming Kong nodded.

“Some items are scarce in the Immortal Realm and can only be found in the middle thousand worlds, so this is a regular trading spot for them, though the visits are infrequent,” Ming Kong explained.

“How powerful is the Ancient Cang Realm?” Xu Fan asked, assuming a trading hub of this scale must be formidable.

“I’m not sure. I’ve never seen anyone cause trouble there,” Ming Kong admitted.
