Chapter 1321: North Star

"Your home?" Lu Yang couldn't sit still when he heard that.

Where was the Immortal Fairy's home? It was Polaris in ancient times, the only star she controlled. During the battle between the Four Ancient Immortals and the mastermind, Qinghe, to protect the Immortal Fairy's belongings, seized the opportunity to hurl Polaris away. However, the chaos was so immense that even Qinghe couldn't pinpoint Polaris's final destination. Moreover, 400,000 years had passed since then. Even if they remembered the original location, Polaris would be impossible to find now. This cosmic exploration also had the intention of finding Polaris, but without any clues, they could only search by chance.

"Let this immortal scan it with my divine sense." In fact, when the Immortal Fairy arrived at Kunlun Mountain, she found the place familiar and wanted to scan it with her divine sense. However, she saw Little Yangzi happily catching up with Bai Shuang. If she confirmed this was Polaris, she certainly wouldn't be able to resist telling Little Yangzi, which would ruin the nostalgic atmosphere. She extended her divine sense to envelop Kunlun Mountain, confirmed her suspicion, and smiled happily.

"This is Polaris!"

"It really is?!" Lu Yang was puzzled. "Then Fairy, why didn't you recognize it when you first arrived on Blue Star?" She had been on Blue Star for almost two months. Surely, the Fairy couldn't fail to recognize her own home for such a long time.

"The terrain and landscape are completely different from back then. Polaris used to be just one continent," the Immortal Fairy explained, gesturing an irregular shape, depicting the former appearance of the Polaris continent. Lu Yang understood. When Qinghe threw Polaris, she could only ensure the entire star wouldn't be torn apart by the force. She had no time to manage the continent on its surface. During its high-speed flight, the Polaris continent disintegrated, and its topography changed. No wonder the Immortal Fairy didn't recognize it.

Bai Shuang and Xia He were baffled by their conversation. Wasn't Senior Immortal a person from ancient times? How could this place be her home? Lu Yang briefly explained, and only then did the two realize, instantly becoming interested.

"Where is Senior Immortal's home?"

"Come on, everyone follow this immortal!" The Immortal Fairy waved her hand grandly, displaying the demeanor of a true leader. With such an aura, people would proactively pay protection fees if she walked down the street.

The four crossed seven or eight mountains, arriving at the deepest part of Kunlun Mountain. The range was majestic and towering, rarely trodden by humans. The place they reached had never been visited before.

"Here?" Xia He and Bai Shuang looked around. It was covered in white snow, littered with rocks, utterly barren, and extremely cold. If Lu Yang hadn't protected her, Xia He would have long succumbed to hypothermia and frozen into an ice sculpture. By no means did this place seem suitable for human habitation.

"Below," Lu Yang and the Immortal Fairy said in unison, pointing at their feet. The current Kunlun Mountain was vastly different from ancient times. After the continent split and the terrain changed, the main body of Kunlun Mountain was buried deep underground, and with it, the Immortal Fairy's home was also interred. The Immortal Fairy formed hand seals and cast a supreme immortal spell. Ancient runes merged into the ground one after another. Before long, the entire Kunlun Mountain began to shake violently, and the earth cracked open.

The ground was no longer safe. Lu Yang simply lifted Xia He and flew upwards, with the Immortal Fairy and Bai Shuang willingly following. Flying high in the sky, Xia He finally saw the changing mountain terrain and couldn't help but gasp. The mountain range seemed to come alive, breaking through the earth and growing rapidly upwards, piercing the clouds for tens of thousands of feet. It was incredibly vast. In an instant, Blue Star's tallest mountain was displaced, now many times higher than the second tallest.

At this moment, the Space Administration was in chaos. Old professors' hands trembled so much they couldn't hold their reading glasses, which fell to the ground. The Space Administration's large screen showed Blue Star from a space perspective. The changes in Kunlun Mountain were incredibly drastic even from space, completely subverting their understanding. The most senior expert murmured softly, voicing everyone's thoughts: "What's happening to this world?"

The four, Lu Yang included, landed in front of a stone gate at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Only then did they see signs of human habitation.

"Hehe, this is my home!" The Immortal Fairy stood proudly before the stone gate, asking Lu Yang to take her picture. This was definitely worth commemorating. She had originally come to accompany Little Yangzi home, but never expected Little Yangzi to live on Polaris.

Click.

The high-definition camera captured a group photo of the four in front of the immortal's abode. The Immortal Fairy excitedly patted Lu Yang's shoulder. "I told you our fate is profound. We're both from the same old hometown!"

Lu Yang: "..."

He had never imagined in his life that he could become a fellow countryman with the Immortal Fairy, let alone one separated by 400,000 years.

Lu Yang took two deep breaths, then pushed open the large door. A dense spiritual energy surged out, practically an ocean of it. Originally, spiritual energy was formless and colorless, intangible and invisible. But the spiritual energy inside the immortal's abode was so incredibly dense that it had solidified. Xia He was almost swept away by this ocean of spiritual energy. Lu Yang raised a hand and set up a protective shield for Xia He. Mortals could not withstand such a concentrated surge of spiritual energy. Bai Shuang, on the other hand, was incredibly excited upon contact with the spiritual energy. She was an innate being, born powerful, and most in need of spiritual energy. After this spiritual energy surge, the power she wielded increased by hundreds of times, and this was without the guidance of any cultivation techniques. Lu Yang guessed that the high-grade spirit stones inside the abode had shattered, and with the stone gate sealing them, all the energy had been trapped inside. Now, once opened, it surged out like a flood.

"Chariot of White Luan, flying to Shangqing, Everbright Dawn, true essence descending, entering myriad forms..."

The elderly Daoist Master of the Zhengyi Sect, with white hair and beard, was meditating and seeking enlightenment. His days were numbered; he could even feel his lifespan slowly draining away, yet he remained exceptionally calm. From a young age, he joined the Zhengyi Sect, displaying extraordinary talent. He soon became a True Disciple of the Heavenly Master, gaining the qualification to absorb spiritual energy, guiding it into his body, and becoming a Qi Cultivator.

Unfortunately, he could not advance further. The reason was simple: the Zhengyi Sect did not possess enough spiritual energy for his cultivation. He could only reach the first three layers of Qi Refinement. The Zhengyi Sect's heritage was considered substantial, with dozens of spirit stones of varying qualities. However, after two millennia, few spirit stones remained, and the very last one was used by the old Heavenly Master when he guided spiritual energy into his body. Therefore, despite his talent and cultivation methods, the old Heavenly Master had no spiritual energy to aid him, making it impossible to break through the lifespan limit. He could only quietly await death.

The old Heavenly Master felt no regret. In his youth, he witnessed Blue Star's golden age; in his middle age, he survived the zombie crisis; and in his later years, he assisted in Blue Star's reconstruction. His life had been rich, and he had no regrets dying. His only regret was that his cultivation was too low to play a significant role in the apocalyptic situation. The first three layers of Qi Refinement couldn't even withstand bullets; he was merely an ordinary person with exceptional physical abilities, capable only of offering meager assistance to save people.

Suddenly, his body trembled, and he sharply opened his eyes. Just now, he felt a cool current pass through his chest. "Is that spiritual energy?!" How could this be? It had been years since he last felt the vibrant rhythm of spiritual energy. Immediately after, spiritual energy surged in continuously, nourishing his body. The old Heavenly Master was convinced, and he couldn't help but shed tears of excitement. This was spiritual energy! "Has the Age of Dharma Decline ended?"

Simultaneously, renowned sects and temples all felt the rush of spiritual energy. In ancient times, when the inhabitants of Polaris witnessed the outbreak of the Immortal War, they packed their belongings and fled Polaris, hastily leaving behind some spirit stones and cultivation methods. These became the foundation of later sects, but the spirit stones had long been depleted by the present day. Now, with the opening of the Immortal Fairy's immortal abode, spiritual energy surged forth, nourishing Blue Star, revitalizing these sects, and ushering Blue Star into a new era—the Era of Spiritual Qi Revival.
