A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

Now, Luo Cheng has entered the third level of cultivation, while Li Qiang is at the fifth level. Their cultivation levels are comparable to those of a Celestial Immortal in the Immortal Realm. They were not in a hurry to travel and spent two months returning to Fengyuan Star.

Li Qiang returned to the Chongxuan Sect, feeling inevitably saddened: "Brother Fu and Brother Hou have both ascended to immortality. I wonder when I will see them again."

"If Junior Brother wants to go to the Immortal Realm to see his friends, the Azure Emperor will still give him face." Luo Cheng said meaningfully—he was reminding Li Qiang about the Azure Emperor taking on disciples.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a beautiful figure rushed over and crashed straight into Luo Cheng's arms. It was Lin Chen.

"Senior brother, I'll head back now," Li Qiang said tactfully, taking his leave.

Lin Chen nestled into Luo Cheng's arms, her cheeks slightly flushed, yet she was reluctant to let go. After a long while, Luo Cheng finally took out the Illusion Pearl: "This is an image of the Illusion Tree Star."

Lin Chen took the beads, a bright smile spreading across her face: "Thank you!"

Luo Cheng could see a hint of disappointment in her eyes; she wanted to go to the Illusion Tree Star herself.

"I'll take you there when I return from the Ancient God's Treasury," Luo Cheng said softly.

"Okay!" Lin Chen nodded and immediately activated the Illusion Bead. A holographic image unfolded before his eyes, making him feel as if he were actually there.

Afterwards, Luo Cheng stayed on Fengyuan Star for another month, accompanying Lin Chen on her travels. When they parted, Lin Chen said with reluctance, "Take care, I'll wait for you to come back."

"it is good."

Luo Cheng took a step and arrived in the void. Li Qiang, Qian Shanyong, and Dai Nanfeng were already waiting there.

"Let's go," Luo Cheng said.

Qian Shanyong said, "If we go through the ancient god teleportation array, it will probably take more than two hundred years."

Dai Nanfeng replied, "Use my Starry Sky, it's already been upgraded, so it'll be faster."

Luo Cheng and Li Qiang both understood that she had collected a lot of Divine Wood Liquid from Illusion Tree Star to upgrade her Star Glory level.

The group ascended to Xingyao, and Dai Nanfeng placed immortal stones into the energy pool, set the direction, and Xingyao automatically flew towards Xinbo Cape.

The journey was mostly tedious, with everyone spending the majority of their time cultivating. Occasionally, they would wake up and discuss Daoist techniques with each other. Luo Cheng had a profound understanding of cultivation realms, while Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng, having lived for countless years, possessed extensive knowledge and had shared many secrets of the immortal realm with Luo Cheng.

Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye. The star slowly came to a stop.

Qian Shanyong stood up and said, "We can't use Star Radiance anymore for the rest of the journey."

Luo Cheng understood that the road ahead would become increasingly difficult. Over the past century, Qian Shanyong had revealed all the secrets of Xinbo Cape.

"Following the star map Xuanlong gave us, fly forward for a while, and we'll see the monsoon belt." Qian Shanyong pointed ahead, his expression solemn. "Don't move this part of the starry sky."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Qian Shanyong had already emphasized on the way that this area was full of treacherous star belts. If there was even a slight deviation during the shift, they might stumble into a star, a neutron star, or a white dwarf. This was an extremely dangerous place even for immortals.

The group flew for another ten years or so before finally getting close to the monsoon belt.

Luo Cheng stood in the void, gazing ahead, and discovered that the Gentle Breeze Belt and the Gentle Breeze Stream were completely different. The Gentle Breeze Belt was like a white jade belt, while the Gentle Breeze Stream was like a rushing celestial river.

"This area of ​​the monsoon winds is vast. I'll use a divine artifact to clear the way; you all follow closely," Qian Shanyong said, unleashing the Wrath of the Gods. After searching for over a hundred years, he had finally found this divine artifact.

"Let our junior brother lead the way," Luo Cheng suggested.

"I know he has four divine artifacts, but his cultivation level is ultimately lacking," Qian Shanyong said with concern.

Luo Cheng said, "How about this, my junior brother and I will be in one group, and you and Fairy Dai Nan will be in another group. Don't stray too far apart, so you can help each other out if anything happens."

"it is good."

After agreeing on the plan, Qian Shanyong used his divine artifact to protect Dai Nanfeng and rushed into the Xunfeng Belt first. At the same time, Li Qiang summoned the Celestial Venerable Set, which mainly consisted of the Celestial Venerable Robe, Armor, and Battle Soul Blade; the Celestial Venerable Dragon Staff was not needed for the time being.

The Celestial Venerable's robe emitted a faint divine light, protecting Luo Cheng within it. The two followed closely behind, entering the Gentle Breeze Zone.

Once inside, Li Qiang understood why Qian Shanyong had been so cautious. Pressure from all directions surged in like a tide, constantly changing, like a submarine navigating in the deep sea, where water pressure and currents could tear the hull apart at any moment.

Li Qiang steadied the divine artifact and glanced at Qian Shanyong in front of him. Seeing that Qian Shanyong looked more relaxed, Li Qiang could tell that Qian Shanyong's cultivation was indeed superior.

Luo Cheng, however, was pondering something else. He knew that a treasure star was hidden in the Xunfeng Belt, but he didn't know how the treasure star was formed. However, the treasure star contained a large number of treasures, as well as ancient cultivation divine stones.

The ancient cultivation stone contains divine energy, which is a level higher than immortal energy. If it were placed on an ordinary planet, it would be enough to turn that planet into a sacred place for cultivation.

If an ancient cultivation stone were placed on Earth, it could restore Earth's spiritual energy and transform it into a sacred place for cultivation.

But such a rare opportunity is hard to come by. Luo Cheng thought to himself, "Perhaps I can encounter Li Qiang's 'hanging pen' opportunity."

After walking for a long time, seeing that Li Qiang was gradually struggling, Luo Cheng said, "Let me lead the way."

"Okay." Li Qiang didn't stand on ceremony and immediately gave up his seat to begin regulating his breathing.

Luo Cheng controlled the Battle Soul Blade with his Divine Chess Power, and in an instant, a terrifying pressure struck. He was shocked, and only then did he realize how much pressure Li Qiang had just endured—here, one could only rely on cultivation to withstand it, with no skill whatsoever.

Knowing the immense pressure of the Floodwind Belt, Li Qiang immediately swallowed a Sacred Olive to restore his Divine Power. He then took the Battle Soul Blade from Luo Cheng and resumed his stance.

The Battle Soul Blade, a supreme-grade divine weapon, cleaved through the air currents, allowing the two to move forward slowly. After traveling a while, Li Qiang suddenly stopped.

"Senior brother, look! There's a planet ahead!"

Luo Cheng looked up and indeed saw a planet radiating a colorful halo. He chuckled to himself, "It really is like God is feeding us."

"Let's go up and take a look," Luo Cheng said.

"good!"

Li Qiang swung his sword, tearing through space, and the two landed on the planet, where the pressure suddenly eased.

"Senior brother, look! This is Heavenly Gold Sand, and Immortal Tear Gold!" Li Qiang recognized many rare refining materials at a glance, some of which could only be found in the Immortal Realm.

Luo Cheng sighed softly, "What a pity, what a pity."

"Why is it a pity?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is Baoxing."

"Treasure Star?" Li Qiang looked at the treasures scattered all over the place and laughed, "The name Treasure Star is really fitting."

This precious planet is like a mortal stumbling upon a world overflowing with gold, gems, and rare minerals—a treasure trove of riches.

"The most precious thing on Treasure Star is the Ancient Cultivation Divine Stone," Luo Cheng said, and then patiently explained the function of the Ancient Cultivation Divine Stone.

After hearing this, Li Qiang was eager to try: "Senior brother, since we're here, shall we take it?"

"With our current strength, we can't take it away," Luo Cheng shook his head. In the original story, Li Qiang was able to take the Ancient Cultivation Divine Stone because he had already opened the Origin Realm and could use the power of origin to take it away.

"What a pity," Li Qiang sighed, then added, "Since we've run into them, we should at least take some treasures with us."

As he spoke, he contacted Mei'er in the spirit world, asking her to bring some spirits over to collect treasures.

Before long, a large number of spirit beings and spirit sword beings surged over, and Mei'er also came in person. When she saw Li Qiang, she immediately threw herself into his arms and cuddled with him for a while before happily going to pick up the gems.

Luo Cheng feigned a sigh: "Mei'er, are you just going to pretend I don't exist?"

"Oh dear!" Mei'er floated to Luo Cheng's side and said with a sweet smile, "Brother Luo, how could I forget you? Mei'er misses you too."

"Really? I didn't see you greet me just now."

"Really? Mei'er doesn't remember." Mei'er made a face and acted spoiled.

Luo Cheng was helpless—in Gu Meier's eyes, there was indeed only Li Qiang.

The spirits, hailing from the resource-poor spirit realm, were overjoyed to see treasures everywhere. After bowing to Li Qiang, they immediately began collecting the items.

After a short while, Luo Cheng said, "Junior brother, it's time to go. Lao Gan and the others must be getting impatient."

"OK."

The two also acquired many rare gems and refining materials. When Li Qiang returned the spirit body to the spirit realm, Mei'er tugged at his sleeve, reluctantly saying, "Brother, can I go with you?"

"No way." Li Qiang refused decisively.

The Windy Belt is far too dangerous; even the Celestial Immortal Luo Tian has to proceed with extreme caution. Mei'er has made considerable progress over the years, but she hasn't yet become a Ghost Immortal. With her current level of cultivation, even with his protection, she absolutely cannot be allowed to venture into the Windy Belt.

Li Qiang coaxed Mei'er for a long time before finally persuading her to return to the spirit world.

Luo Cheng joked, "Junior brother, you're really patient."

"There's nothing I can do," Li Qiang said with a wry smile. In his heart, Mei'er was like a daughter, so of course he had to spoil her.

After leaving Baoxing, the two traveled for another ten days before finally emerging from the Xunfeng Belt. Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng were waiting on the outskirts, and they both breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing them.

Even knowing that Li Qiang and Luo Cheng were lost in the Wind Belt, given their cultivation levels, the two dared not go in to search for them. Entering the Wind Belt would suppress their divine senses, the air currents and pressure would be unpredictable, and star beasts would appear from time to time, making it extremely dangerous. They could only wait anxiously outside.

"What happened to you?" Qian Shanyong asked hurriedly.

Li Qiang and Luo Cheng exchanged a smile.

"We've met Baoxing," Li Qiang said.

Upon hearing this, Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng's eyes flashed with envy, and then they sighed.

"What a pity..." Qian Shanyong said.

Li Qiang laughed and said, "Old Qian, I know what you're regretting. It's just an ancient cultivation stone, isn't it?"

"Isn't that all?" Qian Shanyong almost laughed in anger. "Listen to this! Is that even human language? Ancient cultivation divine stones, even ancient immortals are envious!"

Luo Cheng smoothed things over, saying, "Old Qian, don't be disappointed. With our current cultivation level, even if we found the Ancient Cultivation Divine Stone, we wouldn't be able to take it away."

"That's true." Qian Shanyong nodded. He naturally knew that the Ancient Cultivation Divine Stone was fused with the Treasure Star, and to take it away, one would need the power to destroy the planet. With Luo Cheng and Li Qiang's current strength, destroying an asteroid was no problem, but they couldn't touch the Treasure Star. Although this planet was not large, because it was powered by the Ancient Cultivation Divine Stone, the energy it contained was comparable to that of hundreds of stars.

This is the power of the gods!

After resting for a while, the group continued on their way.
