Chapter 210 Ancient Road in the Starry Sky
"Brother, don't you want those spoils? I heard that this Northern Emperor Wang Teng has obtained a mysterious inheritance, and is even related to the ancient great emperor."

Zhang Ziling said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Chai Xin smiled and said, "If there are ancient scriptures or secret techniques, you and I can share them. As for other external objects, I will give them to you."

"it is good!"

Zhang Ziling nodded and took Liu Nianshuang to check out Wang Teng’s belongings.

"You are really generous, which is very similar to Ye Fan. No wonder you two can become friends of life and death."

Ji Ziyue said with some appreciation.

"When it comes to generosity, I am not as generous as Ye Zi. But Zi Ling is my junior brother, and we have lived and died together. If he has something good, he will definitely think of me."

Chai Xin shook his head, his tone gentle but firm.

"Of course, it's not just the two of us. I think all of our friends can do it."

When Ji Ziyue heard this, she couldn't help but think of Pang Bo, Tu Fei, and even Da Hei Gou and others.

Although they are all guys with strong personalities and banditry, they are indeed very loyal and righteous as Chai Xin said.

"The friendship between you two makes me yearn for it."

Ji Haoyue's eyes were vague and he suddenly spoke.

"Yes, although we are all blood relatives in the family, we are full of intrigues. We are far inferior to you, the companions who have gathered from all corners of the world."

Ji Ziyue also agreed very much.

"Haha, why envy? You and your brother have repeatedly helped Pangbo and others when they were in danger. You are in the same circle as us."

Chai Xin was telling the truth. The character of these two siblings was indeed worthy of making friends with, and they should not be lumped together with other people in the Ji family.

"My dear friends, will you follow me into the mansion?"

Xue Ruoheng looked at the headless corpse in the distance and sighed deeply. When he saw Zhang Ziling and Liu Nianshuang returning, he turned sideways and invited them.

Wang Teng’s death was his own fault and he could not blame anyone else.

Moreover, after this battle, the deputy palace lord had a deeper understanding of Chai Xin's strength.

When Xue Ruoheng thought about the arrow that the other party had just shot, he felt a chill on his neck, and he became more determined to send him onto the Ancient Starry Sky Road.

As for those geniuses from various fields who were originally ready to make a move and had various ideas in mind, at this moment, they completely extinguished the thoughts in their hearts that made them blush just thinking about them.

Even Wang Teng, who had just achieved the Dao of Destruction, was easily killed by Chai Xin, let alone them?
In the battle just now, Chai Xin was not serious at all. Everyone present was not blind and could naturally see it.

If the other party goes all out, I'm afraid killing the saint may not just be a rumor.

Thinking of this, everyone became more and more frightened, and was thankful that Wang Teng had come earlier and saved their lives. Otherwise, they would have been the ones to die.

At this point, no one dared to raise any objection to Chai Xin's entry into the House of Strange Men and even his qualification to embark on the ancient path of human trials.

Qishi Mansion is indeed a good place. Not only is its layout very unusual, but it also contains many relics of ancient sages hidden inside.

Especially some stone carvings, array patterns, and inscriptions, which contain the predecessors' understanding of the Tao and their search for the way forward.

Even Chai Xin, who had already touched a glimmer of the holy realm, felt deeply moved.

For the next two years, everyone spent time in Qi Shi Mansion.

Zhang Ziling and others sometimes comprehend the insights of the sages, but more often they go to explore some secret realms and immortal palaces that suddenly appear in the world, compete with others in them, and pursue their own opportunities.

The fighting in Qi Shi's Mansion was very fierce, but after Wang Teng was shot dead in public, no one dared to challenge him for two years.

Everyone knew that one of the three places in this life's House of Extraordinary Scholars had already been reserved by Chai Xin.

While others were vying for opportunities, Chai Xin was always doing his own thing.

His need for opportunities is no longer that strong. In other words, the so-called opportunities in general may be enough to change the destiny of others, but for him, it has become something dispensable.

For two years, no one dared to disturb him, and he hardly ever left the Qishi Mansion. He was always searching for various ancient sites, trying to discover insights that touched him from the wealth left by his predecessors.

Recently, his understanding has become more and more profound, and he vaguely feels that he is about to take that step and step the remaining foot into the holy path.

However, when that moment will actually come is still a mysterious thing, and no one can say for sure.

Maybe it will be the next moment, or it may still take three to five years of accumulation.

Chai Xin was not in a hurry either, because his strength was improving rapidly enough and no one of his peers in the Beidou Star Region could compare with him.

However, this also made him feel lonely.

In the past, when Chai Xin read novels and watched movies like "Dugu Qiubai", he just felt that they were too ridiculous or pretentious.

Isn't it a good thing to suppress people so much that they can't raise their heads and no one can compete with them?
But when you really find yourself in that situation, the feeling is different.

The most straightforward situation is that his current understanding is sufficient, but he is just missing a tiny opportunity and cannot enter a new realm.

If there is an evenly matched opponent, both sides can have a good fight, and whether they win or lose, they may gain something.

"It seems that it is time for me to leave Beidou again and embark on a new journey."

After Chai Xin made up his mind, he went to Xue Ruoheng without notifying anyone and explained his demands to him.

Logically speaking, the starry sky channel of Qi Shi Mansion should be opened after three places are produced.

However, Chai Xin's situation is indeed special. It is of no benefit to continue staying here, and it may very well delay his future development.

After several deputy palace masters discussed it, they asked the palace master to open the ancient starry sky road for one person for the first time.

Before leaving, Chai Xin left a few letters and asked Deputy Palace Master Xue to pass them on to Zhang Ziling, who was still in a secret place and had not returned yet.

Some of those letters were written to Jiang Taixu, some were written to Longma, Pangbo, Qingjiaowang and others, and of course some were written to his fiancée Yan Ruyu.

In addition to explaining the journey to the Ancient Starry Sky Road, the letter also urged them to practice well, continue to work hard, try to contact more major forces, and make more plans for the future.

This was not the first time that Chai Xin had set foot on the ancient starry road. He had become accustomed to the silent transmission of the space channel.

The only difference is that the destination of this starry sky channel is not any ancient star, but a starry sky.

The surroundings were empty, with nothing else except a stone tablet in front.

There were no words on the stone tablet, only a faint fluctuation of array patterns guiding the way forward.

Chai Xin had read the original novel and knew that this should be the ancient starry road leading to the first city of the human race.

The starry sky was desolate and boundless, without even a trace of life. He stepped on the secret path of "Xing" and hurried on his way at an extremely fast speed.

Even so, in the boundless universe, his figure is still like a staggering ant, leaving an almost imperceptible tiny trace extremely slowly on the vast picture.

Perhaps the time for confrontation had not yet really arrived, Chai Xin had been traveling for seven days without encountering any human beings or any other alien races.

From the eighth day on, figures began to gather on the Starry Sky Ancient Road from all over the depths of the starry sky. But everyone was very alert, and although no conflict occurred, no one spoke to each other either.

What’s interesting is that all the people we’ve met so far have been traveling alone, and there have been no groups.

In this way, they walked until the eleventh day, when Chai Xin finally saw a legendary strange scene.

In the pitch-black and silent universe, there is an extremely magnificent and huge city. It is clearly in space, but one can faintly hear the roars of dragons and cries of phoenixes entering one's mind, and it is a magnificent scene.

The city was huge, and its pitch-black walls were like mountains, stretching and undulating with no end in sight.

Not far away, a bright moon was circling the city, its moonlight scattered and the stars gathered into silver galaxies, making the entire city look mysterious and great.

In the deeper and more distant universe, there is a sun that is many times smaller than ordinary stars, and it is also slowly revolving around the ancient city!

The existence of the sun and the moon forms the day and night of this ancient city.

The eternal, everlasting vicissitudes and domineering aura make people unable to help but worship it, as if they have seen the long ancient history of the human race.

"finally reached……"

Even with Chai Xin's current mentality, after a long journey through the starry sky, he couldn't help but feel some emotions when he saw the legendary first city of the human race.

"It is unknown when this city was built. It is known as the first level on the strongest trial road for the human race."

Suddenly, a gentle voice rang in my ears.

Chai Xin had already noticed it, and when his eyes fell on the other person, he saw a middle-aged man in a green Taoist robe.

The man was not talking to him. It was obvious that he was moved by the sight of the ancient city and was just talking to himself.

The two men's eyes met, and neither of them spoke. Then they turned into streams of light and flew towards the first level of the human race.

At the same time, the same scene was being played out everywhere in the starry sky.

Finally, everyone landed on the platform in front of the ancient city gate.

Dozens of people have gathered here, each occupying a space, sitting cross-legged and practicing silently, as if waiting for the city gate to open.

Although it is an ancient trial road for the human race, there are not only humans here. Some alien races have also come here as companions or mounts of the humans.

"The first level of the human race will be opened every six months to five years, depending on the number of people."

Someone saw a small stele standing next to the city gate, stepped forward and read it out loud. It was the middle-aged Taoist in green clothes who had met Chai Xin before.

"That being said, we may not be allowed to enter even if the number of people is full. I heard from the elders in the tribe that it seems that there must be a strong person who has reached the seed level before everyone can enter... The longest waiting time is five years, and it will be opened regardless of whether anyone has reached the standard or not."

A boy with red lips and white teeth, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, spoke.

He sat cross-legged not far from the small stele. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time and was a little bored.

"There is such a rule..."

Chai Xin noticed that those who could climb up the Ancient Starry Sky Road were indeed not ordinary people. Among those present, the weakest had already successfully cut through the road.

There are even a few people who, like him, have entered the semi-saint realm.

Of course, there is still no one who has truly entered the Saint Realm. Obviously, no matter where in the starry sky, the Saint is the watershed of the truly powerful, and it is not so common.

Therefore, if we talk about real combat power, I am afraid no one here can be his opponent.

After a brief thought, Chai Xin decided to take action himself, show some strength, and knock on the city gate in front of him.

Since I have come to the ancient trial road of the human race to compete with the geniuses, why would I hide my strength too much?
But at this moment, there was a surprising wave in the void, and before everyone looked back, they heard the long cry of a divine bird.

The next moment, a huge phoenix with a jade glow all over its body appeared from the depths of the void. It was over a hundred feet long. Sitting cross-legged on it was a young man in golden armor, with an extremely powerful aura.

This person is so domineering that he stands out among the many geniuses present.

The blue phoenix shrank rapidly during its descent, eventually becoming only a few feet in size and landing in front of the first level.

Many people were forced to retreat by the powerful aura of the young man in golden armor, with horror showing on their faces.

"Who is this person? He has such a strong aura!"

"His cultivation is still at the Zhan Dao realm, but his true combat power is probably extremely high. He is an unparalleled genius who can fight across levels!"

Those who were forced to open the door could only talk in a low voice and dared not confront others.

Chai Xin had just taken a step forward and was about to go to the gate. There were quite a few people standing here, so he was not conspicuous.

But now those people were all repelled by the young man in golden armor, and now he was the only one left standing there motionless, so he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Good dog, stay out of the way, get out of the way!"

Before Chai Xin even had time to think about his next move, Qingluan spoke in human language. Although her voice was light and graceful, like that of a young girl, both the tone and content were extremely bad.

At once, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

During the boring waiting time, it is a good entertainment to watch a lively event.

Of course, there are also many people who don’t care about the outside world at all. They still sit cross-legged with their eyes closed, without even a twitch of their eyebrows.

Chai Xin had a calm expression, he was not angry in his heart, and there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

With his state of mind, he would not be easily provoked by a few words. However, this did not mean that he would tolerate the other party.

"No human words can come out of a bird's mouth."

He uttered these words softly, then slowly stretched out his right hand and reached for the long red beak of the blue phoenix.

This move seemed ordinary, the speed was not fast, and the strength seemed to be average.

Some of the onlookers were surprised, some sneered, and more were indifferent.

"You evildoer is seeking death!"

When Qingluan heard Chai Xin's words, she immediately became furious. Looking at the other party's outstretched hand, her big watery eyes were filled with human anger and disdain.

It seemed that in its eyes, this palm was not just a mention.

The next moment, its slender neck moved suddenly, and its long red beak was like a sharp blade, pecking at Chai Xin's outstretched palm.

However, no one could have imagined that Chai Xin's seemingly soft and weak palm seemed to be hidden deep in space, giving people an inexplicable sense of illusion.

The blue phoenix's long beak was clearly as fast as lightning, yet it seemed to be tens of millions of miles away from his right palm, making it impossible to really get close.

The next moment, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Chai Xin's palm was placed on Qingluan's long beak very casually, as if the other party had put it in his palm.

"Qing'er, be careful!"

A trace of surprise suddenly appeared on the indifferent face of the young man in golden armor, and he immediately opened his mouth to remind him.
