Chapter 1422: Ascending the Moonless Sky

Although some unworthy leaders have emerged from the Yun Dynasty, this lineage of the Yun family, after all, descends from the handiwork of the Creator God, Sword Immortal Yun Wangji. Therefore, their continued rule as kings of this world is beyond question.

What you must do next is, with the combined efforts of all races, protect the Yun Dynasty's rule and help them establish a more complete and beautiful Yingzhou Continent.

This is a mission you all must accomplish together, and a goal worth pursuing throughout your lives. It has no end, and it will help you continuously improve your individual strengths to become better versions of yourselves.”

The leaders of the major legions simultaneously faced Xu Yang, knelt on one knee, and cupped their hands in salute.

“Please rest assured, esteemed one, the future of Yingzhou Continent is in our hands. No matter what, we, your comrades who once fought alongside you, will forever remember your guidance, Lord Xu Yang.

Even if conflicts arise between the major regions in the future, we will resolve them peacefully as the only means of reconciliation, and will never rashly resort to arms.”

After receiving the promise from the leaders of these major regions, Xu Yang nodded, content.

“Alright, there’s no need to make the atmosphere so solemn. We still have two days to drink and celebrate together.

Release all the pressure in your hearts. After two days, when I enter the Path to Heaven, you can then depart and return to your respective tribes, marking a perfect conclusion to this unprecedented gathering of races.”

As expected, after Xu Yang's suggestion, everyone completely let go of their laughter and celebrated freely. The spectacle of hundreds of thousands of people gathered in a grand celebration was magnificent; in just two short days, they almost entirely consumed all the wild game around Treasure Mountain.

However, this naturally had no negative impact. Each race celebrated in its own way, and these three days could be considered the highest-level civilized gathering in the history of Yingzhou Continent.

Every warrior cheered excitedly, feasted heartily, and enjoyed the tranquil time – a precious and beautiful moment.

Three days later, the mid-sky bright moon became its most resplendent, even emitting a reddish glow.

Xu Yang finally understood that the entrance to the Path to Heaven was about to open again, and this time, it would be a truly significant opening.

This meant there was no longer any possibility of delay; everyone had to bid farewell to Yingzhou Continent and enter the world within the Path to Heaven.

“All good things must come to an end; it was finally time to say goodbye. Brothers, we shall meet again.

In the blink of an eye, I have spent hundreds of years on Yingzhou Continent, and my feelings for this place are self-evident. Especially for every one of you who fought alongside me, I, Xu Yang, will forever cherish these sentiments in my heart. Until we meet again, may we reunite in the future!”

Xu Yang sincerely cupped his hands in salute to the hundreds of thousands of top cultivators from Yingzhou Continent before him, then transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky with Xiao Hua, Long Kun, and Ling Yao beside him, flying towards the most resplendent spot.

Below, the elite team of hundreds of thousands of Yingzhou Continent's strongest all looked up at the sky, silently stretching out their right hands, placing them over their chests, and offering prayers for Xu Yang and his companions with the most devout eyes and gaze.

“Boss, when we meet again, we will remember every word you said. We hope that when you return to Yingzhou Continent, this world will bring you even more surprises. Take care on your journey, we shall meet again!”

This moment was destined to be tear-inducing, because most of these powerful cultivators had a history of fighting alongside Xu Yang. Thinking of the scenes where they once fought side-by-side with their leader against enemies, a sense of bitterness would naturally arise in everyone’s heart.

But everyone also understood that separation was only for a better reunion next time. Thinking this, the turmoil in their hearts gradually eased.

Watching Xu Yang’s team of four finally depart, the hundreds of thousands of warriors also left for their respective places, signifying that the journey on Yingzhou Continent’s main battlefield had finally come to an end at this moment.

Xu Yang also led his team to embark on a new journey. The path to Wuyue Heaven presented no obstacles, as the Moon Goddess had previously indicated.

This opportunity was an invitation actively extended to Xu Yang by the Creator God of Yingzhou Continent. The path was unobstructed; through the colossal ethereal outline of the full moon, Xu Yang ascended directly to the top layer of Wuyue Heaven.

When the four regained their vision, they had already arrived above the clouds. Indeed, this place was a special space formed by endless layers of clouds—not an illusion, but a truly existing realm.

However, this realm was isolated from the main body of Yingzhou Continent by a special energy. Even incredibly powerful ordinary individuals could not possibly discover its existence.

Even though Xu Yang had, on more than one occasion, conducted soul-searching explorations throughout the entire continent, searching the borders of Yingzhou Continent, he had never been able to detect the existence of Wuyue Heaven.

Sensing the extremely unique energy fluctuations in this place, and the special rhythm of space-time laws that astonished him, Xu Yang immediately realized that this place, to some extent, also represented a completely new realm of cultivation.

The elusive, thread-like opportunity he had caught when suddenly gazing at the central full moon earlier seemed to become much clearer all at once. Xu Yang subtly seemed to find a new direction for further improvement: the pursuit of the ultimate evolved forms of time and space.

“Boss, what’s wrong with you? You seem a bit off.”

Ling Yao, who was by his side, was incredibly perceptive and immediately noticed that their leader seemed a little strange, but Xu Yang simply smiled and gently shook his head.

“It’s not as exaggerated as you think,” Xu Yang replied. “I’m just thinking about something. Have you noticed that the flow of time and space in this place cannot be perceived at all?

Yet all the energies here are truly real, not an illusory space. Logically, the existence of such a place deviates from the creation laws of the Great World. Under the civilization system of the Great World, the establishment of all rules requires time laws and void laws as the most basic framework to establish complete order.

Only with order can various Daos and laws be formed, which are the energetic foundation for establishing a complete world.

But this strange place we are in has no such limitations.”

As expected, upon hearing Xu Yang’s observation, the other three members of the team, including Xiao Hua, also quickly noticed the problem.

“It is indeed as you said,” one of them replied. “We can’t sense any flow of time or space! Could it be that this Wuyue Heaven truly transcends the limits of our comprehension?”
