Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Before Ye Fan and the others could react, the light from the five-colored altar had already engulfed them.

They abruptly embarked on their journey, engulfed in the light of the five-colored altar, heading towards an unknown land.

Only a group of people remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This... what kind of domain gate is problematic?" Ye Fan's parents were shocked, worried that their child might be in danger inside.

Pang Bo's parents were also terrified, fearing something terrible might happen.

"It's alright, he was just saying that. With his status and strength, there's absolutely no danger he'll face," said the Demon Clan's Dao-Slaying King.

He chose not to go to that world, but to stay here, even though he knew that going to that world might offer a brighter future.

For him, or for the entire race, staying might be the best outcome.

Beside him was the demon who had once disguised himself as Pang Bo. After everything was revealed, he no longer appeared as Pang Bo, but instead reverted to his original identity. In the presence of Pang Bo and Ye Fan, he recognized Pang Bo's parents as his godparents. He would continue to take care of Pang Bo's parents when Pang Bo was no longer around.

Although this demon's talent and strength were only average, he was the envy of most demons because, unlike others, he only needed to stay here and accompany the two old people, and he would be able to rise to prominence in the future.

Many demons were green with envy, wishing they could have this opportunity, but they were helpless.

"Are you really... alright?" Ye Fan's parents were still filled with worry.

"Don't worry, they'll definitely be fine. They should be back soon," said the Demon Clan's Dao-Slaying King.

He had always lived within the demon race and rarely concerned himself with worldly affairs. He had even stopped interfering in the internal affairs of the demon race, leaving them to others to handle. But now, he has left the demon race to protect a few ordinary people.

To some uninformed people, it might seem unbelievable, but for him, it was worth it.

It was precisely because of his protection as a Dao-Slaying King that Ye Fan's parents and Pang Bo's parents had far fewer troubles.

Even if someone is terrified of those two, after witnessing them leave, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't develop other thoughts, wanting to control those two's parents, to investigate more things, or even to steal the blessings left behind by those two and then erase all traces.

Although it sounds crazy, the world is full of crazy people.

Therefore, the Demon Clan's King of Slaying the Dao did not choose to protect in secret, but instead came out into the open, using his status and strength to tell everyone not to do anything foolish.

Ye Fan's parents and Pang Bo's parents nodded upon hearing this, but continued to pray.

On the other side, on the five-colored altar, Wang Teng and others were conducting interstellar travel.

The five-colored altar opened a passage in the starry sky. They walked through this passage, each step covering a distance of tens of millions of miles, with the starry sky extending beneath their feet.

The desolate starry sky and the mesmerizing sea of ​​stars that surrounded them were no longer there; instead, they had found a passageway.

There was a five-colored chicken soup, enough to stay in. This five-colored passage stretched out from their feet into the distance. No one knew exactly where it extended, but they believed in Wang Teng and Qi Hao's abilities. They believed that at the other end of the passage was the distant Big Dipper.

Compared to Ye Fan and others who had already traversed the Ancient Starry Road, those who were brought here, both humans and demons, had eyes filled with intense curiosity and astonishment about both the Ancient Starry Road and the Five-Colored Altar.

Especially those ordinary people who were brought onto the ancient starry road, they were Ye Fan's wife and children. They had received materialistic education, but now, looking at the dazzling passage around them, they felt that everything was so unreal.

But both the sensation under their feet and everything around them told them that these things were real!

"Is this the legendary Ancient Star Road?" The five demon youths showed great interest.

Unlike ordinary people, they had at least been exposed to cultivation and had some understanding of it. They knew how difficult it was to walk among the stars, which is why they were so shocked and surprised.

"The legendary Ancient Starry Sky Road is said to be a place where no one without the realm of a sage is qualified to walk. Are we now comparable to the ancient sages in some aspects?" a demon girl asked excitedly.

She was the most lively of the five demon youths, and almost all the laughter and joy along the way was related to her. She was also the most optimistic, and even when facing the unknown starry sky, she was still full of expectations.

“In some ways, perhaps so, but neither you nor I are far from that level. Rather than comparing ourselves to the ancient sages, it’s more accurate to say that we’ve barely made it onto this path thanks to the five-colored altar left by our predecessors,” Wang Teng said with a light laugh.

"I see!" The demon girl smiled brightly.

Among the other demon youths, some looked at the girl with envy. They also wanted to chat and laugh with this being, but they didn't have the courage to do so. They always held a deep sense of awe in their hearts when facing Wang Teng.

"So, what are your plans after you arrive in Beidou?" Ye Fan asked, looking at his former classmates.

He could understand why his classmate wanted to return to that land and continue to receive what he had gained from his spiritual practice.

After all, once they've witnessed the dazzling starry sky and personally experienced the feeling of soaring, it's unlikely they'll stop.

Cultivation will only make them yearn for higher realms and want to experience more distant things; it will never stop them from moving forward.

Take Ye Fan himself as an example. He once worked hard to cultivate so that he could go back to his hometown to see his parents. Now he has achieved his goal, but it is obviously impossible for him to give up everything in Beidou and stay here to accompany his parents.

Having witnessed something even more brilliant, how can one calm down and truly accompany one's parents in their twilight years?

His current goal has become to go to the Big Dipper to continue his cultivation, to find a way to extend the lifespan of ordinary people, so that his parents can live a little longer and spend more time with him.

Perhaps from the current perspective, he has spent far less time with his parents, but in the long run, his parents will be able to spend more time with him.

“We…we will go back to our original sect to continue our cultivation, bury our past, and cultivate slowly without competing or fighting. We’ll leave it to fate how far we can go,” one of the students said.

He was already married, and his original intention in returning to Earth was to see his parents. Unfortunately, he returned a few months too late and missed seeing them, but he did see his wife and children. To prevent further regrets, he thought long and hard, and after discussing it with his wife, they decided to move their whole family to the Beidou region.

Perhaps it is full of crises, but as long as they do not fight or compete and remain anonymous, those crises will not come to them on their own. Moreover, they can cultivate there and lead their children to witness cultivation. In this way, their children may be able to stay with them for a very long time in the future.

With his current level of cultivation, it's impossible for him to be carefree, but as long as he works hard, he can still gather enough resources to help his wife and child cultivate. At the very least, opening up the Sea of ​​Bitterness will be much easier, unlike before when it took them so long.

“That’s fine, but if you want to cultivate, you can go to the Tai Xuan Sect’s Zhuo Peak in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness. It’s a place where you don’t compete or fight, and you live a life of peace and tranquility, which suits the environment there perfectly. Moreover, my senior brother Lu Hao is there. With him around, no group of us would dare to set foot on Zhuo Peak easily. In addition, the master of Zhuo Peak was once my master and possesses the cultivation and combat power of a great being. He will definitely have no problem guiding you.” Ye Fan thought for a moment and then said.

Those he brought back to his homeland were all people of decent character and people he trusted. Moreover, since returning to his homeland this time, he had never heard of anyone using their supernatural powers to do evil, which proved that these people were indeed trustworthy. Therefore, arranging for them to go to Zhuofeng was indeed a very good method.

"Moreover, it's not far from the Ancient Forbidden Land. Senior Brother Lu Hao is suspected to be a descendant of the Ancient Forbidden Land. If you want to return to your homeland in the future, it will be much easier and simpler there," Ye Fan continued to add.

If he weren't currently forced to move forward and couldn't stop, he probably would have stayed at Zhuofeng Peak of the Tai Xuan Sect. The environment there was perfect for retirement, and the master of Zhuofeng Peak was a person who didn't compete or fight. As long as they could stay there peacefully, they would definitely not encounter any crises.

"Thank you so much, Brother Ye!" the student who had just spoken said excitedly.

Ye Fan's initiative in considering their needs naturally delighted and excited them.

Just as Ye Fan said, going to the Tai Xuan Sect would reduce a lot of trouble in the future. The mere presence of that person named Lu Hao was enough to deter many people from causing trouble there.

If they choose to cultivate there, they will not encounter any crises in the future.

Ye Fan has already shown them a clear path. As long as they are willing to follow Ye Fan's arrangements, they will certainly have no worries in the future, if not a life of ease.

They continued their journey along the ancient starry road, the exact length of which they had no idea, but they knew they had traversed a distance measured in light-years.

When they returned to Earth from Beidou, they experienced too many desolate star fields.

Some places are undetectable even by the most advanced aerial telescopes, yet they traverse them, witnessing one star field after another, and the fall of certain interstellar civilizations.

Some of these star systems definitely had civilizations, but as time passed and with the clashes between cultivation civilizations, those civilizations eventually came to an end, leaving only weapons forged from divine iron broken into pieces and scattered throughout the interstellar space.

On their way back, they did not see that scene again, because they had been walking through a five-colored passage the whole time. They walked for a long time, and time and space seemed to be in chaos there. They themselves had forgotten how long they had been walking.

Finally, they emerged from the five-colored passage and arrived at a familiar place.

The area is picturesque with clear waters and lush vegetation, making it feel like a pristine, untouched region.

Compared to the five demon teenagers' curiosity about everything around them, Ye Fan and his companions were on high alert.

"Ancient Forbidden Land!" Ye Fan said solemnly.

He looked into the distance where a broken stone tablet was faintly visible.

When they first arrived in Beidou, they appeared in the desolate ancient forbidden land. At that time, they were young and fearless, and they knew nothing about Zhou, so they had the courage to explore their surroundings.

Later, after learning about the various legends surrounding the Forbidden Land, they could never be the same as when they first came here.

Even now, when Ye Fan and his group arrived at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, they felt the threat of death. They could clearly feel the life force within their bodies slowly draining away, and it seemed as if an unseen eye was silently watching them, treating them as prey.

Just as Ye Fan and the others were on high alert, preparing to sneak away from this forbidden area that held so many legends, a gentle and familiar voice suddenly rang out behind Ye Fan, "It really is you guys."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ye Fan's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

"Senior brother!" Ye Fan turned around and said excitedly.

Sure enough, a young man in a black robe stood not far from them, facing them with a gentle smile.

Infected by that smile, everyone even felt that the force that had been robbing them of their life force had dissipated.

They felt warm and cozy, like basking in the winter sun, which was especially comfortable.

"Junior Brother Ye, it's been a long time." Lu Hao nodded to Ye Fan with a gentle smile on his face.

Then he looked at Wang Teng and Qi Hao, his smile still as warm as ever, "Brother Wang, Brother Qi, it's been a long time."

"Hahaha, it's been a long time! If we hadn't come to the Forbidden Land of Desolation this time, you probably wouldn't have met us." Qi Hao laughed loudly.

"I've been cultivating lately and haven't been able to get away," Lu Hao chuckled, not at all angry.

"How did you end up here?" he asked.

Seeing this, Ye Fan stepped forward and told Lu Hao everything that had happened to them during this time.

If he were to name the few people on Beidou's side he could trust the most, Lu Hao would definitely be among the top few. He might hide some things from others, but he wouldn't hide anything from Lu Hao.

"I see." Lu Hao nodded. "In that case, I will grant you the right to freely enter and exit the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. If you wish to use this place in the future, just come directly here."

Upon hearing Lu Hao's words, the people present exchanged bewildered glances, feeling incredulous. They had once cultivated in the Big Dipper and knew the power and ruthlessness of the forbidden zone of life.

No one expected that this matter would be resolved so easily. They had just landed and hadn't even had time to get their bearings when everything was already settled.
P.S.: I was a bit busy yesterday, so I didn't have time to update. Sorry! (End of Chapter)
