One person established a clan

Chapter 321 Unique
As the group approached, the mysterious barrier came into clear view, showing no signs of damage even after thousands of years.

[Great Heavenly Gate Formation, Mysterious Formation] [Can be absorbed]

"This formation is indeed quite extraordinary."

"But a formation of this scale should not be able to remain intact for long."

Shi Xuan whispered, "There must be some kind of external force helping to keep this formation from collapsing."

"Young master, how do we get in?"

Wen Qimeng asked curiously from the side, "Are we going to forcefully break through this barrier, or use the key you have, young master?"

"The key is unrelated to this formation."

Su Cheng spun his palm lightly, and a vast amount of spiritual energy surged into his hand in an instant, drawing out a gap in the array barrier that allowed passage.

"Let's just go in."

"Alright!" Wen Qimeng rolled up her sleeves with great interest, but she didn't dare to relax at all. Together with the aunt, she tightly gripped dozens of newly refined talismans, ready for battle.

As everyone stepped into the immortal kingdom, a misty spiritual light rushed towards them, which was extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so dense that it was almost tangible.

"so amazing"

Even Shi Xuan couldn't help but marvel slightly. "To be preserved so perfectly, is this truly just an ancient relic?"

"This may be the ruins of the Seven Star Immortal Sect."

"Hmm?" Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly as he turned to look at the Ten Heavens Sword hanging on his back.

"Senior, you're saying this is the Seven Star Immortal Sect?"

Seemingly sensing the doubt in his tone, Fan You said leisurely, "The future generations will naturally not know that the Seven Star Immortal Sect that you are familiar with is just a 'side branch'."

The true Seven Star Immortal Sect was one of the remnants of the Twelve Star Heavenly Clans, but they were defeated and fled, thus ending up in the Five Desolate Domains with their entire clan.

"How did you know, senior?"

"At that time, I had just entered the seal and still had the strength to explore the outside world, so I naturally knew."

The crowd grew increasingly astonished, their gazes once again turning to the majestic immortal kingdom before them.

"But why are you drifting here?"

"That's why it's called a ruin." Fan You said casually, "At that time, the Five Desolate Domains were already closed off, so they couldn't bring their entire sects into the Five Desolate Domains. They could only settle for second best, letting only cultivators enter the Five Desolate Domains to recuperate and start anew."

Su Cheng seemed to be deep in thought. So, this key itself has no connection to the clues about the underworld?

As they pondered, the group, riding on the demonic sword, arrived near the immortal kingdom.

Just as he was about to fly his sword around the city, the space in front of him quietly distorted, and a tremendous force swept in all directions.

"—The successors of the Seven Stars have come to our door to receive the inheritance and training of our clan!"

A faint, ancient voice, like the tolling of an ancient bell, resonated deep within everyone's hearts.

At the same time, an external force seemed to be shifting the surrounding space, as if to send everyone to different places.

"Don't worry, Tianxing is a very shrewd woman. This is a relic left to her descendants by the Seven Star Immortal Clan. There is only a test of inheritance within it."

Fan You calmly replied, "Even if you are not a descendant of the Seven Star Immortal Clan, there are other trials. If you can pass them, you will also gain something."

The next moment, everyone's figures suddenly became blurry, and they realized with surprise that the inheritance ceremony had already begun.

"Young master, you can rest assured that we will be safe and sound!"

"Brother, don't worry about us!"

As soon as Wen Qimeng and the auntie finished their exclamations, their figures vanished without a trace.

Su Cheng's mind raced, and he suddenly realized that his own space had also been shifted, and he appeared with the puppet in front of a vast and ancient mountain range.

"."

The only sounds were a gentle breeze and a warm sun.

Su Cheng silently sensed them and confirmed that the Void Marks on their bodies could still be activated before he felt at ease.

If anything unexpected happens, they can be instantly teleported to their side and forcibly taken away from this ancient immortal kingdom.

He then looked around and saw white mist swirling around the mountains, like a fairyland.

"here it is"

"Based on the 'Seven Heavens Mysterious Array', and further supplemented by the immense cultivation, a secret realm was created."

Shi Xuan analyzed in a low voice: "The one who could create this place with such skill must be an extremely powerful being in the Void Profound Realm."

"Hey?" Fan You's voice rang out immediately: "You little girl, you're quite knowledgeable, even knowing this." Shi Xuan smiled: "Compared to you, senior, I am ashamed of myself."

"You two seem to be having a very pleasant conversation."

Su Cheng casually joked, then pulled the puppet along and set off. Along the way, the flowers, trees, and shrubs were fragrant and lush, as if they had stepped into a magnificent peach orchard.

Looking ahead again, a simple stone table suddenly appeared, with a figure sitting quietly beside it.

"—I never imagined that the future Lord of the Seven Stars would be so young."

A hoarse voice slowly rang out.

Su Cheng then saw the figure turn around, revealing an old but kind-looking woman's face.

"May I ask who you are, senior?"

"I am the former master of the Seven Stars." The old woman in the black robe smiled faintly: "There is no need to be on guard. This body is merely a wisp of divine consciousness that has survived here by borrowing the power of the spiritual veins."

Su Chengxin understood and gave a slight bow: "Greetings, senior."

He then tentatively inquired, "I wonder what has become of my other two companions?"

"Don't worry, since they came with you, I will not neglect them."

The former master of the Seven Stars chuckled and said, "They have already received guidance and gifts and are trying to cultivate. There is no danger whatsoever."

"Thank you, senior."

"Hehe, since this old woman is about to pass away, I'll keep it short."

She quietly flicked her sleeve, and wisps of spiritual light slowly gathered from behind, transforming into a vast curtain connecting heaven and earth.

"The situation within the Five Desolate Domains is perilous. To ensure the continuation of the Immortal Clan's lineage, I sealed away an additional treasure and inheritance here back then."

The old woman in the black robe explained in detail: "If the younger generation of my clan reaches the Void Profound Realm, they can step into the mountains and unlock the mysteries with the key."

Su Cheng was slightly puzzled: "Why didn't you directly bring the inheritance into the Five Desolate Domains back then, senior?"

"We, the old ones, had already perished on the battlefield outside the domain at that time, and only some young disciples survived by chance."

The old woman in the black robe sighed, "They have just entered the Five Desolations and their cultivation is still shallow. If they carry such a treasured heirloom, I'm afraid it will bring about the extermination of their clan."

Su Cheng remained silent for a moment.

"Although I am left with only a few regrets, I can foresee that the future generations of my immortal clan have probably already withered away."

The old woman in the black robe sighed softly, but quickly cast a kind look at him again. "However, the fact that a young benefactor has visited today means that our clan's lineage has not been cut off, which is a fortunate thing."

"This junior will certainly live up to the legacy of the Seven Stars."

"Hehe, it's good that everyone is safe and sound."

Before the former master of the Seven Stars could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly flickered, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

"Young benefactor, you actually possess the aura of the underworld?"

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng was also surprised.

He had initially thought that the Seven Star Immortal Clan had nothing to do with the Underworld, but judging from the other party's reaction...
"Senior, you are not a cultivator from the Five Desolate Domains, yet you know of the existence of the Underworld?"

"How could I not know?"

The old woman in the black robe said something astonishing: "The Underworld is spread throughout all the great domains, and is part of the cycle of heavenly principles. It is by no means unique to the Five Desolate Domains."

Su Cheng nodded in realization.

Upon reflection, Xiao Fu had also referred to that place as the 'Five Desolate Underworld'.
"However, the Underworld suddenly disappeared without a trace many years ago, causing a great deal of turmoil in various regions."

The old woman in the black robe looked even more astonished. "But I never expected that the young benefactor would actually..."

The underworld has completely disappeared?
Su Cheng quickly pressed on, "Senior, do you know the reason for the disappearance of the Underworld?"

"Rumor has it that a ruler of the underworld has been born."

The old woman in the black robe said in a low voice, "Such beings are unpredictable and have managed to seize power from the Underworld and disrupt the cycle of life and death in all realms."

"Does that mean even the underworld is inaccessible?"

"Huh?" The old woman in the black robe showed a hint of doubt: "What is the Underworld?"

"No wonder it's so!"

After a long silence, Shi Xuan suddenly murmured, "'Netherworld' exists in all the major domains as a mysterious force that sustains the cycle of life and death. It exists between the real and the unreal and has no specific territory."

No wonder I'd never heard of any underworld before; it turns out Xiao Fu's Five Desolate Underworld truly is a unique existence!
