Chapter 944: Chinese Redbud Island

In the control room of the spaceship, Luo Feng and Zhenyan were both gazing outside through the virtual display. Ahead of the spaceship, there was a whirlwind resembling a giant serpent. One black whirlwind after another roared and covered millions of kilometers, as if countless serpents were playing and darting across the starry sky.

“This is the legendary Ancestral Divine Realm,” Zhenyan exclaimed in awe.

“Legend has it that the Ancestral God Secret Realm is one of the most dangerous secret realms,” Luo Feng sighed. “It rivals the size of an entire cosmic nation, filled with perils everywhere. Even a Cosmic Sovereign entering here cautiously would struggle to leave alive.”

Cosmic secret realms are categorized into different levels, with varying regional sizes.

Since Luo Feng and Zhenyan already knew the coordinates of the inheritance site this time, they naturally conducted prior research. However, what they discovered left them shocked—they found out that the inheritance site was actually located within one of the most terrifying cosmic secret realms in the universe, the Ancestral God Secret Realm.

As the highest and most dangerous secret realm, even ordinary dangers here could kill a Cosmic Sovereign. In extremely perilous areas, even a Cosmic Monarch would hold their breath in caution.

With a maximum diameter of 160 million light-years, traversing it at sub-light speed would take as long as 200 million years. To fully explore the entire Ancestral God Secret Realm… it would be impossible even if someone had been flying back and forth since the birth of the universe. Moreover, with dangers lurking everywhere, who would dare to fly recklessly?

Mysterious!

Dangerous!

Forbidden!

Here are the keywords related to the Ancestral Mystery Realm.

“It’s said that the most common phenomenon in the Ancestral God Secret Realm is the Black Miasma whirlwinds,” Zhenyan remarked. “Even a single whirlwind could severely injure a Cosmic Sovereign. A massive Black Miasma whirlwind could completely annihilate one.”

“Master, the whirlwinds further ahead are the Black Sun whirlwinds.”

“There are even more whirlwinds behind us,” Luo Feng added.

Zhenyan turned around and saw a black cyclone stretching infinitely across the distant space, its width unimaginable. If the black cyclones ahead were like serpents, then the terrifying whirlwind behind was like a serpent magnified billions of times.

“This is the outermost Black Whirlwind. Only the outermost ones can be this massive,” Zhenyan said in astonishment.

Luo Feng nodded. “We’ve already entered the Ancestral God Secret Realm. We’ve reached the coordinates.”

The spaceship began to slow down, gradually coming to a stop. The hatch opened, and Luo Feng and Zhenyan flew out side by side.

In the vast emptiness, only the countless black whirlwinds chasing each other in the distance were visible.

Luo Feng and Zhenyan stood in the void, facing each other.

“Where is it?” Luo Feng frowned. “The inheritance site should be right here at these coordinates, yet we can’t see it.”

“Wait,” Zhenyan said.

Suddenly, the calm void around them began to twist. Luo Feng and Zhenyan’s expressions changed slightly, but the twisted space instantly formed a vortex, swallowing them both.

“Space transmission?”

Both Luo Feng and Zhenyan instantly thought of this term. Immediately afterward, their surroundings became clear again.

They were still standing in the void, but the scenery in the distance was now breathtakingly beautiful. Far away, an endless colorful river surged forward. This colorful river was vast and filled with a mysterious power, naturally attracting anyone who looked at it. However, both Luo Feng and Zhenyan were extremely strong-willed warriors. They quickly realized this and snapped themselves out of the trance.

“You woke up quickly,” a cold voice sounded.

Both Luo Feng and Zhenyan immediately turned around.

In the nearby void stood a rock deity nearly eight meters tall. He wore purple armor that was wreathed in flames and had a dark green glow. At first glance, he resembled a jade of dark green jade. Both Luo Feng and Zhenyan recognized his appearance as belonging to the Feicang race, a type of rock lifeform in the universe.

He stood beside them yet seemed almost invisible, which secretly alarmed Luo Feng and Zhenyan.

“He’s a Cosmic Sovereign,” Luo Feng thought. “Only a Cosmic Sovereign could teleport without me sensing it at all.”

“He concealed his aura so well I couldn’t detect it at all,” Zhenyan thought as well.

“I am the guide of the Ancestral God Sect,” the Feicang Sovereign coldly stared at Luo Feng and Zhenyan. “Human, present the Beast God Inheritance Token. Without it, intruding upon the sacred grounds of the Ancestral God Sect means death.” As soon as he finished speaking, a scorching and terrifying aura descended directly, engulfing Luo Feng and Zhenyan as if in flames, leaving them utterly powerless.

It was like a small boat adrift in the vast ocean, leaving Luo Feng with an overwhelming sense of helplessness. He couldn’t help but wonder: the guide of the Ancestral God Sect? The official members of the Ancestral God Sect include the Ancestral God, the Beast God, the Divine Generals, and the Divine Messengers. Among them, the Divine Messengers are clearly the weakest. Even inheriting the position of a Divine Messenger would only make one comparable to the weakest Cosmic Sovereign.

Yet this Feicang being in front of them… even his mere display of pressure was difficult for Luo Feng and his master to resist.

“Master, could he be a Divine General?” Luo Feng mentally transmitted.

“It should be a Divine General,” Zhenyan mentally replied. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this strong.”

Though surprised, both Luo Feng and Zhenyan flipped their hands and each took out their Beast God Inheritance Tokens.

“The Beast God Inheritance Tokens are extremely rare,” the Feicang Sovereign finally showed a hint of a smile. “Your human race truly deserves to be one of the six peak races. You’ve even sent two members with Beast God Inheritance Tokens. Since that’s the case, you are qualified as inheritors… you have the right to enter. Follow me.”

The Feicang Sovereign flew ahead, and Luo Feng and Zhenyan naturally followed beside him.

“Do you see that?” The Feicang Sovereign pointed ahead at the endless, surging, colorful, dreamlike river.

Luo Feng and Zhenyan both nodded.

“Let me bring you a bit closer to see,” the Feicang Sovereign said. As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Feng and Zhenyan felt their surroundings shift… they had already teleported several light-years and arrived near the boundless river.

“This is—” Luo Feng held his breath. This wasn’t a river at all—it was countless auroras. Countless auroras, each in five different colors, composed this infinite river… From several light-years away, it still looked like a river, but up close, Luo Feng felt it was infinitely vast.

“Is this the legendary ‘Five-Color Aurora Lake’ of the Ancestral Secret Realm?” Zhenyan asked in astonishment.

“You actually know a bit,” the Feicang Sovereign looked at Zhenyan with surprise and praised with a smile. “Yes, this is the Five-Color Aurora Lake.”

“Lake?” Luo Feng was puzzled. Up close, it looked boundless, and from afar, it still appeared as a surging, endless river.

“Of course, it’s a lake,” the Feicang Sovereign said. “From the position we were just at, it seemed like a river, but if you flew to the top of the entire river and looked down… you’d realize it’s an almost circular infinite lake. This Five-Color Aurora Lake has a maximum diameter of ten light-years, with infinite power. Each aurora alone, if unleashed, could severely injure a Cosmic Sovereign. The entire lake is composed of countless auroras, with boundless power! It is one of the strongest treasures in the vast universe.”

Luo Feng and Zhenyan were stunned.

Each aurora was this powerful?

“This Five-Color Aurora Lake is the sacred treasure of our Ancestral God Sect!” exclaimed the Feicang Sovereign. “With such a divine treasure, who dares to trespass upon the Ancestral God Sect?”

“One of the strongest treasures in the universe? A sacred treasure?” Zhenyan marveled.

“No wonder the Ancestral God Religion is the greatest power in the universe,” Luo Feng also marveled, recalling the Star Tower in his mind.

The Five-Color Aurora Lake, shimmering with countless auroras on its surface, already possessed immeasurable power. It even served as the sacred treasure of the mightiest force in the universe. His own Star Tower, which housed countless precious Sealing Stars as its “axis,” along with the Pillar of Heaven and other treasures, was also regarded by Situ Shanke as one of the most formidable treasures in the cosmos.

“I actually got to see the Five-Color Aurora Lake,” Zhenyan sighed with admiration. “I’ve truly broadened my horizons.”

“Seeing one of the strongest treasures in the universe is already a stroke of luck,” the Feicang Sovereign said with a hint of pride, then continued, “Don’t you four major races have one of the strongest treasures in the universe, the Star Tower, on your battlefield? It’s an indestructible and unmovable treasure that countless warriors have failed to claim. To this day, no one in the universe knows its true power. In short, it has no master.”

“The Star Tower is one of the strongest treasures in the universe?” Zhenyan was greatly surprised.

“It seems you don’t know much after all.”

The Feicang Sovereign shook his head with a smile. “The Star Tower is one of the most easily seen strongest treasures in the universe, yet also the most mysterious. No one has been able to uncover its true secrets, and no one has been able to take it away. It stands there, enduring endless eons, unclaimed by anyone.”

“Enough talk. Let me take you to the Purple Thorn Island,” the Feicang Sovereign said, instantly teleporting Luo Feng and Zhenyan.

The starry scene shifted, and Luo Feng and Zhenyan found themselves at the edge of the Five-Color Aurora Lake, only a few hundred meters away—an extremely close distance.

Wave after wave of auroras, each about ten thousand kilometers long, exuded an overwhelming power that made Luo Feng and Zhenyan feel a sense of awe.

“Do you see it? Purple Thorn Island is right there,” the Feicang Sovereign pointed deep into the Five-Color Aurora Lake.

“What? Inside the Five-Color Aurora Lake?” Luo Feng and Zhenyan looked in astonishment.

Indeed, faintly visible, was an island, though it appeared very vague amidst the endless auroras.

“Come in,” the Feicang Sovereign flew directly into the lake.

“Go in? These auroras have boundless power,” Zhenyan couldn’t help but say.

“Don’t worry. This is one of the strongest treasures in the universe. It won’t harm anyone it recognizes. Both of you have the Beast God Inheritance Tokens. You’ll be fine,” the Feicang Sovereign said. Zhenyan looked at Luo Feng. “Apprentice, I’ll try first.” Saying so, he took a step forward to the nearest aurora and reached out to touch it.

Upon contact…

The aurora was like flowing water, gently wrapping around Zhenyan’s arm without any aggression.

The Feicang Sovereign watched this but said nothing. He had seen this many times before. Those who came here as inheritors were always cautious and reluctant to trust others easily.

“Let’s go in,” Zhenyan said.

“Yes, Master,” Luo Feng felt grateful but said nothing more, following his master into the Five-Color Aurora Lake.

It felt exactly like swimming through real water. As they soared, the auroras gently brushed against their bodies, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort. The closer they approached, the more Purple Thorn Island expanded before their eyes.

“Purple Thorn Island is where you Beast God inheritors reside. It’s the outermost part of the Five-Color Aurora Lake,” the Feicang Sovereign explained as they arrived at Purple Thorn Island.
