Best Young Master

Ye Fan never expected that there would still be practitioners in this world who knew about Linxian Ancient Star. It seems that even on this ancient star path, Linxian Ancient Star is quite famous.

"Brother, if you truly come from Linxian Ancient Star, it’s best not to mention it to anyone."

The small, emaciated middle-aged cultivator was taken aback and then solemnly advised Ye Fan.

"Why is that?"

"I once heard that it was a life star where true immortals once descended, a place where talented people arose and the Divine Race lay dormant. Over countless millennia, it became a rival enemy for many star domains. If people learn you come from Linxian Ancient Star, you may find yourself an enemy to the world!"

Ye Fan was deeply surprised. He didn’t expect the Xuan Realm to have so many powerful enemies on this ancient star path. His path forward might be fraught with danger, and the people he had met so far were only a small part, with many having set out long ago.

There are many tiny ancient roads in the starry sky. Some are smooth sailing, while others are interfered by the Ancient Emperors, replete with hardships. The roads of powerful ancient star domains are all hard to tread.

"It is said that besides the Human Clan’s ancient star path, there are also the Divine Race’s ancient road, the Demon Clan’s ancient road, and others, all leading to the same main trunk in the end."

The small, emaciated middle-aged cultivator shared some secret insights he knew with Ye Fan.

Afterward, Ye Fan spent eight hundred jin of top-grade spirit stones to buy information from him about the First Heroic Pass of the Human Clan’s ancient star path.

Above this life star is the Human Clan’s First Heroic Pass, which, like the moon, revolves around this life star but is very independent. It is a majestic divine city that has existed for countless millennia.

Three days later, the divine city will open, and then all cultivators will jointly enter the divine city to await the test of the First Heroic Pass, which is the Purgatory Trial Ground. Only by surviving the trial ground and obtaining certain items can one truly pass the test and head to the second station on the ancient star path.

However, the City Lord of the divine city does not inform the participating cultivators about this, leaving them to comprehend on their own. Those who fail to gain something are mercilessly eliminated.

This middle-aged cultivator was among those eliminated in the last trial, but by selling this information, he’s been living quite comfortably over the years.

Not everyone steps onto this ancient road for Proving Dao; everyone has their own purpose, as ultimately, only one person has the opportunity to become the Emperor.

Most people are rational and do not want to push to the last, because the powerful figures of the entire universe are fighting for it. It is extremely brutal, with an untold number of deaths!

Finally, Ye Fan inquired about the Great Demon and Wen TaDou and learned that they had already passed the test a year ago, left the divine city, and went to the next station.

That very day, apart from the small, emaciated middle-aged cultivator, some other cultivators left on this ancient star after being eliminated last time sold another kind of secret booklet, listing some formidable figures among the trialists, which secretly stirred up a sensation.

During these three days, Ye Fan did not go out, continuously cultivating in silence. Besides conserving energy in preparation for the upcoming Purgatory Trial Ground after the divine city opens, he also quietly mapped out the routes of death energy within his body.

Three days passed in a flash, and early on the fourth day, before dawn, a grand voice resounded throughout the ancient star, "The divine city opens, all heroes advance to the pass!"

With this resounding voice, countless figures soared into the sky, with exotic beasts carrying their masters, shattering the void and heading toward the divine city in the boundless starry sky above the ancient star.

Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf quickly ascended, flying towards the divine city.

On the way, to avoid a repeat of the events in the ancient city, Ye Fan rode on Bai Yan wolf’s back, light flashed from his palm, and a blood-colored Jing Tian Divine Spear appeared in his hand, exuding a menacing killing intent.

How fast was the Bai Yan wolf, which had mastered the world’s fastest Chasing Star Step?

It seemed to traverse space itself, a few flashes and it was already at the forefront, leaving many behind.

"Get out of the way!"

Behind Ye Fan, the iron cavalry shook the starry sky, a ferocious voice came, as fifteen top-notch strong people rode exotic beasts side by side, all wearing holy clothes, shimmering with varied metallic cold luster, crushing forward like an iron torrent.

All these mounts were primordial species, each rare in the world, like the golden ox ancient beast, mighty and majestic, dominating the sky. There were also nine divine birds coexisting, colorful, descendants of ancient phoenixes. Moreover, there was the gray dragon, calling the wind and summoning the rain.

It was like a group of heavenly gods, roaring through the world, chasing stars and the moon, omnipotent, with blood Qi covering the sky, terrifying beyond measure.

Especially the man riding on the golden ox in the center was extraordinary, his upper body ***, exuding a bronze luster, with an eagle-like sharp gaze, glancing around with disdain, reigning supreme over the vastness.

Although his mount, the golden ox, was an ordinary beast, not even a Xuan Beast, its strength vaguely reached the Venerable Realm, comparable to a Saint Lord, a truly holy beast.

"Get lost!"

These fifteen riders charged like lightning, fierce as a tsunami, the blood Qi slapped the opposite shore, shaking the area with turbulence, utterly disdainful, not putting anyone in their eyes.

"Haha, what a narrow road for enemies to meet!"

Bai Yan wolf sneered, spewing out seven or eight Qingyu Array Platforms, fixing them in the void, ready for a fight.

Recognizing them instantly as those who scolded it on the road from the ancient city, Bai Yan wolf would not let it go easily upon this encounter.

It directly deployed the array platforms, prepared for a grand battle, to establish dominance.

Ye Fan watched indifferently, the Jing Tian Divine Spear in his palm radiating a chilling blood glow, sitting motionlessly on top.

"Boom!"

A great formation stood between Ye Fan and the fifteen iron cavalry, with patterns within the formation flickering unpredictably, filled with the aura of destruction.

"Stop!"

The leading man riding the Golden Bull raised his hand, and the Fifteen Iron Cavalry instantly stopped in the void, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if well-trained.

Gazing at the formation before him, the leading man riding the Golden Bull frowned slightly, his eyes emitting two golden lights, seemingly wanting to see through the formation.

"Old Bai, what kind of array is this?"

Sitting atop the Bai Yan wolf, Ye Fan asked Bai Yan wolf through divine consciousness Transmission.

"Chessboard Transmission Array, hehe, if they dare to step into the formation, I will transport them to the boundless starry sky thousands of miles away. By the time they fly back, a hundred years will have passed," Bai Yan wolf said with a smug smile.

"You’re ruthless!"

Ye Fan laughed silently, as this was more cruel than killing them. Sending them thousands of miles away, by the time they return, the Divine City will likely have closed, and they might not even last that long.

"Hey, brother, I don’t think there’s any grudge between us, right?"

The leader of the Fifteen Iron Cavalry couldn’t see through Bai Yan wolf’s formation, and frowned, speaking to Ye Fan.

"There’s no grudge, Old Bai, let’s go!"

Ye Fan had no good feelings for these arrogant and insolent people, so he directly flew toward the Divine City with Bai Yan wolf, as for the Array Platform, Bai Yan wolf had left his divine soul’s imprint on it, which could be recalled in an instant, unless they destroyed the Array Platform.

Those who could walk at the front were no ordinary people; these individuals all had their own aura and pressure, clearly people of great talent.

"We’re here!"

Bai Yan wolf’s eyes emitted two silver rays, and with a thought, he recalled the Array Platform, staring dazedly at the Divine City ahead.

Ye Fan was also extremely shocked, never expecting to witness such a magnificent scene.

In the vast cosmic starry sky, a magnificent giant city stood ahead, with numerous phenomena, the roars of dragons and cries of phoenixes echoing, standing under the stars and moon, eternal and unyielding.

Everyone stopped here, no longer moving forward, looking far at this Ancient City, it possessed a kind of vastness, flowing with eternal power.

"An Ancient City in the starry sky..." Many showed expressions of shock.

It was grand, and also mysterious, not resting on a planet, but directly suspended in the cosmic starry sky, receiving the baptism of starlight, deeply impacting one’s vision.

It covered an extremely wide area, its walls likened to mountain ridges, extending endlessly, with the grand and imposing towers, a pair of thick city gates closed, as if capable of blocking thousands of troops and the top strong people from various Star Domains!

Moonlight cascading, starlight like a waterfall, strands of silver star rivers hanging down, making the entire Ancient City appear mysterious and solemn.

In all directions, barbarian beasts roared, exotic birds circled, some with bodies like mountains, others with wings covering the sky, each occupying a dominant position, all being ancient primordial species.

The domineering Divine Tiger, the Thunder-wrapped Purple-winged Eagle, the Kunpeng with wings like clouds, and the rest were all mounts, each carrying top strong people that dominated their region.

Before the Ancient City, all heroes remained silent, only fierce birds and beasts cried out, incredibly oppressive, the old city body filled with a sense of repression.

Ye Fan furrowed his brows, feeling an ancient and domineering aura, this giant city felt very majestic and vast, as if existing eternally, narrating the ancient history of the entire Human Race.

"The origins of this city, built in which era, are long untraceable, claimed as the first pass on the Human Race’s strongest trial path," someone whispered.

Ye Fan learned that in the universe there are many "small Ancient Roads," all leading to the final main trial path, this place being a node, also like a dam, unifying the paths of various human strong people.

In front of this majestic giant city, there were as many as two hundred people, each standing alone, everyone being the protagonist of their own world, all being outstanding among people.

"There are indeed numerous People, are there many Life Stars within the Star Domain?"

Bai Yan wolf was astonished, quietly assessing those around him.

None of them were weak, and some of their mounts among them had even become Saints, dominating regions, their might imposing.

At this moment, a commotion erupted from behind, the Fifteen Iron Cavalry arrived, each looking disgruntled, blocked by Bai Yan wolf’s formation for a full quarter of an hour, missing the best spot.

However, it was evident the Fifteen Iron Cavalry were very forceful, even though they arrived late, they forcefully occupied an advantageous position.

Quickly, the Fifteen Iron Cavalry also noticed Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf, each glaring, their murderous aura soaring to the nine heavens, yet they did not attack.

Obviously, they also didn’t want to become the focal point upon just reaching the Human Race’s first pass, as it would be unfavorable for them later, potentially being seen as threatening competitors and jointly defeated.

They did not initiate an attack, and naturally, Ye Fan wouldn’t act rashly either, both parties peacefully settling down, jointly waiting for the opening of the Heroic Pass.
