Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Yunwei Star, Celestial Realm City!
A certain place in Celestial Emperor City.
When Ji Chen arrived here, he found Lin Ruoxue had been waiting early on.
"Senior Sister."
After a slight bow and a simple greeting, Ji Chen asked, "How long will it take to reach Dusk Wind from here?"
"There is a grand array in the city specially used for crossing star domains, it only takes three days to arrive," Lin Ruoxue replied.
After saying this, the two of them began walking towards a square not far ahead.
Before long, a high platform appeared in front of them.
On either side of the platform stood a massive stone pillar, carved with dragons and phoenixes, lifelike.
This is the Cross-Domain Array in Celestial Emperor City, a hub specifically provided for disciples to travel between the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion and various star domains.
On usual days, the usage frequency of this Cross-Domain Array is not high, with only about a dozen times each month.
But it is worth noting that every time one wishes to activate it, it requires spending a massive amount of Spirit Stones.
However, if one has Spirit Crystal Stones, only two pieces are needed.
Soon, after a simple operation, Lin Ruoxue adjusted the position and activated the array platform using two Spirit Crystal Stones.
An entrance appeared not far in front of her and Ji Chen.
The two did not speak, stepping in one after another.
*Buzz...*
A feeling of the world spinning struck but did not last long.
When Ji Chen came to his senses, he found that he and Lin Ruoxue had already entered a special spatial tunnel.
On their left and right sides, starlight shone gently, constantly receding.
It wasn’t truly retreating, but rather they were traversing through the starry sky at an incredibly fast speed.
"This is my first time going to another star domain, I wonder how it differs from Daoxuan," Ji Chen couldn’t help but speak within the spatial tunnel.
For him, this would be an extremely distant journey, yet it shouldn’t be too long.
"Among the Nine Great Star Domains, Divine Martial is the strongest, followed by Yunlan, and then our Dusk Wind, while Daoxuan is the weakest of the Nine Great Star Domains, reportedly having only about thirty Ancient Life Stars with life. By contrast, my Dusk Wind has over a hundred Ancient Stars, each with numerous factions and families, full of endless contention," Lin Ruoxue said, her beautiful eyes gazing ahead at the endless tunnel.
"Speaking of which, I haven’t returned to Dusk Wind for several years, and I wonder what it looks like now. Back then, besides me, Dusk Wind still had a group of top young prodigies recruited into the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion. I wonder if there are any new-generation talents that have emerged now?"
"If it’s the new generation, compared to Senior Sister, they are far behind. This return is akin to the reappearance of a king. Among the younger generation of Dusk Wind, those who can compare with Senior Sister, I’m afraid there isn’t one," Ji Chen said with a smile.
This was not an idle boast.
Back then, Lin Ruoxue was already known as the top young talent in Dusk Wind Star Realm, with very few who could be compared to her.
And during these years in the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, she obtained many resources and opportunities, naturally advancing her strength faster than those who hadn’t been able to join the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion.
Now, with her current strength, she could easily dominate all the younger generation.
Ji Chen did not know to what extent Lin Ruoxue’s cultivation had reached now, but based on speculation, she was at least above the Third Layer of the Saint Realm.
Such cultivation, if placed in the Daoxuan Star Realm, apart from Saint Kings and a few others, there would be no one else to compare.
Most importantly, she was now just in her twenties.
It’s hard to imagine that a young person in their twenties almost possesses the power to sweep through a star domain.
Throughout the ages, to find another such talented woman in the Nine Great Star Domains is likely impossible.
"Not long ago, during your trip to the Secret Realm, the opportunities you gained were probably much stronger than what meets the eye," she suddenly said, glancing towards Ji Chen, seemingly having noticed something unusual about him early on.
Ji Chen didn’t confirm nor deny, only surprised that even after suppressing his cultivation with secret techniques, he still couldn’t escape Lin Ruoxue’s eyes.
"Junior Brother’s cultivation now, I fear has already reached the Saint Realm?" she squinted her eyes.
Though hard to believe, intuition told her that her guess was probably eight or nine times correct!
In truth, while ten years had passed in the Secret Realm, only seven days had passed outside.
Prior to that, Ji Chen’s cultivation had only just broken through to the Void Realm not long ago.
And seven days later, he had already broken through to the Saint Realm!
Such a pace of advancement, saying it out loud, likely no one would dare to believe.
...
Soon, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
After traversing the spatial tunnel for three days.
In front of Ji Chen and Lin Ruoxue, a brilliant star sea came into view.
Dusk Wind Star Realm, vast and boundless.
This is a star river with tens of thousands of Ancient Stars, all radiating starlight, illuminating this part of the sky.
However, among these tens of thousands of Ancient Stars, only a few truly have life, while most are barren stars with no living beings surviving upon them.
Yunwei Star.
Eventually, Ji Chen and Lin Ruoxue descended on this Ancient Star.
This was the location Lin Ruoxue had adjusted for in advance and was the destination of their journey.
Yunwei Star is among the hundreds of Ancient Life Stars in Dusk Wind, ranked at least in the top ten in strength, with many ancient noble families and sects rooted here, the Lin Family being one of them.
This star is exceedingly vast, nearly double the size of the Celestial Martial Star where Ji Chen resided.
Celestial Realm City, the central hub of Yunwei Star, is almost the most prosperous and magnificent ancient city of cultivators.
Within the city, there are at least a hundred families of various sizes rooted here, while outside the city in the mountains, innumerable sects and Church Courts stand, a place truly for the strong.
The arrival of Ji Chen and Lin Ruoxue did not attract anyone’s attention.
"Though I’ve been away for nearly five years, Celestial Realm City remains unchanged," said Lin Ruoxue as she glanced around at everything, unable to help but sigh while walking on the bustling and lively streets.
The Lin Family is located in the northern part of Celestial Realm City, truly a major family in the city. In terms of cultivation and heritage, it’s hard to find a second equal.
The two proceeded north all the way, and before long, a mansion appeared in their sight.
The Lin Family.
At this moment, two young gatekeepers were guarding outside the family gate, and while chatting noticed Ji Chen and Lin Ruoxue approaching.
One of them stepped forward directly to stop them, "This is Lin Family territory, strangers must leave at once."
"It’s only been a few years, and you don’t recognize me?" Lin Ruoxue raised her head slightly, her gaze swept over the two young gatekeepers.
