Chapter 229 Innate Peaches, Eight Main Star Systems

The vast universe, the boundless starry sky.

The streamlined spaceship flew towards distant Jupiter.

It will take about sixty days to reach Jupiter, which is 600 million kilometers away.

Liang Yue was on the spaceship, with tea, snacks, a computer, and various documents on the table in front of him.

It is getting farther and farther away from the sun.

Liang Yue shifted his gaze.

"The sun was created from the sun before the spiritual energy revival, and it contains the body of a golden crow. It is not to be touched for the time being."

Liang Yue didn't want to mess with the sun; it was too dangerous.

Our immediate priority is to go and take a look at Jupiter.

If we can conquer the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, the solar system will be safe and sound.

If we awaken those who have been asleep since the old era, the solar system will be settled.

What happens next?

Liang Yue was unaware of this, as it was a field he himself might not be familiar with.

The Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West is merely one of the pantheons of the ancient, vast land.

Since the collapse of the universe, the earth has transformed into the stars and cosmos.

Every star system could potentially be another mythical system.

"The Eight Lords of Qi, the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, the pantheon of Chu, Dijiang, Dijun..."

Ancient legends about Earth are not entirely unfounded; there may indeed be remnants of ancient ruins.

Are there other human races in other star systems?

The more Liang Yue thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was not good.

The deep universe holds too many mysteries.

Earth is not unique; there may be other civilizations as well.

The three-hundred-year vacuum period may be humanity's last glorious moment.

Liang Yue closed his eyes to rest.

The next life's awakening will mark the beginning of a new era.

"Perhaps a continent will emerge, star systems will merge, or perhaps the status quo will be maintained and each will develop independently."

Liang Yue actually hoped that the latter scenario would occur.

At least give yourself enough room to grow. The universe is too big, and there is still a long way to go before the great battle after the revival of spiritual energy begins.

The spaceship is traveling in space.

Wow!
A giant planet came into view.

Jupiter has a mass more than 300 times that of Earth and its surface has ring-shaped meteorite belts.

Looking down into the vicinity, one can see storms everywhere. These storms are not ordinary winds, but winds formed by helium and hydrogen.

The planet has both liquid and gaseous characteristics, and its surface is an ocean of liquid hydrogen.

Wild, strange, magnificent... these were Liang Yue's first impressions.

The spaceship landed on a meteorite.

With his feet firmly on the ground, Liang Yue gazed at the terrifying behemoth, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up within him.

"This is the true meaning of cultivating immortality."

Having witnessed the vicissitudes of life and seen the vast universe.

Liang Yue took out the golden elixir.

His physical body was hidden inside the spaceship, and a mysterious light flickered between his brows.

Whoosh!
The soul leaps out of the body.

Now, having undergone the trials of the sea of ​​suffering, the void of emptiness, and the ongoing tribulation of deluded thoughts, the soul is no different from that of an ordinary person.

With the energy provided by the Golden Elixir, Liang Yue flew towards Jupiter.

boom!
The soul enters the atmosphere.

This was the first time Liang Yue had ever seen an atmosphere that was a thousand kilometers wide.

Fortunately, the soul is not a physical body; otherwise, it would require a great deal of energy to maintain the physical body from being affected.

Wow!
The soul flew above the ocean of liquid metallic hydrogen, and the immense divine power of yesteryear reappeared, frantically scanning below.

The soul and physical body are surrounded by clouds, and the bloodline of the sun, moon, celestial beings and humans absorbs the insignificant essence of the sun and moon.

When Liang Yue got tired, he would return to the spaceship to cultivate.

After about one hundred Jupiter rotations.

Liang Yue once again set foot on Jupiter.

This time we came to the other side.

Searching for the ancient remains of the Queen Mother of the West on such a large planet is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.

However, Liang Yue has nothing to do right now, which is also a way of indirectly passing the time.

A greyish-white ocean, with brownish-red and white mist floating on its surface.

A Taoist monk in a Taoist robe flew across the sea.

Coupled with the eerie fog, the scene resembled a ghostly realm.

After a long while, Liang Yue suddenly stopped.

"This must be the place."

He looked down into the unfathomable depths of the earth.

Wow!
The soul revealed its sixteen-foot-tall golden body and plunged into the ocean like a diver. It went deep into the ocean, where the temperature rose higher and higher, and there were no other creatures around.

Finally, the light ahead suddenly became bright.

A dark, gloomy body of liquid metal shone through the light.

Liang Yue opened his Dharma Eye and saw a scene of broken walls and ruins before him. The purple-gold ground and the white jade tree were all broken and crooked.

Various corpses floated around, such as a giant snake that was thousands of miles long, had no scales, and had a bluish-green body.

A giant, golden-armored crocodile, three thousand feet tall and resembling a colossal island.

And also winged people, three-eyed people, and fairy maidens and jade boys.

These innate gods and demons either died peacefully or with expressions of terror.

"The Kunlun Green Serpent, the Giant Alligator of the South Sea?"

Before the two powerful divine beasts, Liang Yue sensed the aura of both wood and metal bloodlines.

"Perhaps the two bloodlines can be fused."

The last time he went into seclusion and slumber was to absorb the Earth God. In addition to the original Cloud God and Sun and Moon Feathered Man, Liang Yue himself has the bloodlines of water, earth and fire.

Now, with these two added, it can be considered to have all five elements.

Liang Yue decided to collect the bloodlines of these two mythical beasts.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is not this, but the golden palace in the fire at the deepest part.

A volcano thousands of feet high appeared in the ocean.

The flames were jade-colored; they did not belong to any kind of flame in the world, but must be the true fire that burns something.

Within the flames stood a magnificent golden palace.

The main hall is not large, covering an area of ​​less than 500 square meters.

It shines brightly and is incredibly mysterious.

Upon seeing this object, Liang Yue held his breath.

Are we about to uncover the ancient mysteries of the solar system?
He threw out an idea.

After his thoughts entered the fire and he sensed no danger, Liang Yue then entered the Golden Palace in the fire.

There is no water in the fire, and it is hollow inside.

The sound of their feet treading on the bright silver jade ground was crisp and clear.

Sword marks appeared on the smooth floor.

The sword mark looked somewhat familiar to Liang Yue.

Could it be a human?
Pushing open the heavy door, a stench of blood assaulted the senses. All the ornate decorations were destroyed, the floor was covered in a thick layer of blood, and the corpses of various immortals and demons were piled up in layers.

Among them were even humans, most of whom had magical markings between their eyebrows, likely remnants from ancient times.

The wall was covered with messy, disorganized writing.

"The human race has a history of 7,300 years. Guang Chengzi slew immortals and demons here."

"Fellow Daoist, remember this well—"

The following text is written in tadpole script, which is incomprehensible.

Liang Yue was greatly disappointed, as Guang Chengzi had already come.

When the spiritual energy was annihilated, the human race launched a great revenge against the ancient immortals and demons.

Guang Chengzi's traces can be found everywhere in the world.

If I'm not mistaken, Guang Chengzi should be responsible for taking revenge on the Queen Mother of the West.

Liang Yue continued reading.

It was exactly what I thought.

Guang Chengzi fought his way from Earth to Jupiter, destroying countless lairs of immortals and demons.

Having fought their way here, they had exhausted their true energy.

"The Queen Mother of the West is cunning. Before falling into a deep sleep, she scattered her vital energy throughout the universe, waiting for her to revive in the future. The foundation of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom is the Primordial Peach Tree. Whoever controls the Primordial Peach Tree can seize the Queen Mother of the West's power and prevent her from attaining her full power."

Liang Yue looked toward the center of the hall, at a jade branch that was about half a person tall.

The jade branch was empty and lifeless.

"Is this a naturally formed peach tree?"

Liang Yue thought to himself.

According to Guang Chengzi, he has already refined the Primordial Peach Tree. This tree is rooted in heaven and earth and cannot be taken away.

"Fine, I'll refine it myself."

Liang Yue could not be sure whether Guang Chengzi was still alive, and he could not place his own safety on the shoulders of an ancient person whose whereabouts were unknown.

Liang Yue continued reading.

Guang Chengzi didn't die, but he didn't have the strength to continue fighting.

Instead, they returned to Earth and, with the help of the Zhuanxu Emperor Tower left behind by Emperor Zhuanxu, were teleported to their next destination—the Eight Divine Realms.

The tadpole-like script left behind was the rune used to unlock the restriction.

"Emperor Zhuanxu's Mausoleum? Teleportation?"

Liang Yue was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

Could Guang Chengzi be referring to the Egyptian pyramids?
The Egyptian pyramids are not the tombs of pharaohs at all, but ancient artifacts. Other pyramids are simply imitations of the pagoda that Liang Yue took away.

"Teleport?"

Liang Yue fell into deep thought.
