Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.
During this half year, Jun Xiaoyao had been in the depths of the Creation Vessel world, comprehending the essence of the world left behind by the Great Emperor.
This was an incredibly complex task.
The world's fundamental rules constructed by the Great Emperor were extraordinarily intricate.
For a Saint to understand them would be simply wishful thinking.
But Jun Xiaoyao was different. To call his comprehension ability monstrous would be an understatement.
An ordinary Saint might not comprehend even one ten-thousandth of this essence in a hundred years.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao had completely mastered it in just half a year.
Then Jun Xiaoyao began to break down this Creation world essence and melt it into his internal universe.
This didn't mean that Jun Xiaoyao had incorporated the external Immortal Realm rules into his internal universe.
Rather, he used this essence as nourishment to nurture his internal universe.
It was like putting firewood into a stove - the fire grows stronger while the firewood turns to ash.
At a certain moment, Jun Xiaoyao's body trembled.
He had completely refined this vast Creation world essence.
In an instant, his internal universe began to expand violently once again.
Jun Xiaoyao also felt that his own aura was becoming difficult to suppress.
"It's time to break through," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
Just as he was preparing to break through, suddenly, there was movement from the spatial artifact within Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao frowned and took out one object, which was a transparent bottle.
Inside the bottle were five or six drops of blood that were red with golden light.
This was the essence blood of the Ancient Sacred Body.
Upon careful observation, one would discover that within this Ancient Sacred Body blood, there were traces of dark red beginning to spread.
This was not a good sign.
"Could it be... perhaps..." Jun Xiaoyao thought of a possibility, his expression slightly darkening.
It must be that something had happened to the owner of this Ancient Sacred Body blood.
Although they might not have perished directly, the situation was likely dire, and they were probably approaching a dead end.
"Ancient Sacred Temple, Domination Star..." Jun Xiaoyao murmured.
These secrets were ones he had originally planned to explore gradually as he progressed deeper along the Ancient Path.
It seemed now that the time left for him was limited.
If he delayed any further, it might be too late.
"This matter is certainly connected to the Cang family of Domination Star. There's no choice, it seems I must set out now," Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.
He once again suppressed the signs of breakthrough.
Of course, this wasn't a bad thing. The deeper the accumulation, the more powerful the breakthrough would be.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao vaguely felt that if he could find the Ancient Sacred Temple, it would likely be even more helpful for his breakthrough.
Additionally, his Ancient Sacred Body might also undergo an extreme transformation.
Thinking of this, Jun Xiaoyao no longer hesitated and directly emerged from seclusion.
As soon as Jun Xiaoyao came out of seclusion, Yi Yu and the others sensed his fluctuations.
They all arrived one after another.
Yi Yu, Yu Chanjuan, Tai Yin Jade Rabbit, Yan Rumeng, Xia Bingyun, Feng Xiuran, and the other four Forbidden Path Children all came.
"Young Master."
"Divine Son!"
Everyone bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.
"I need to continue deeper into the Ultimate Ancient Path. What are your plans?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
With his strength, bringing this group along naturally wasn't a problem.
Yan Rumeng first looked deeply at Jun Xiaoyao, then revealed a sigh and said, "I'll go train on my own. Following you makes me feel like I'm just sightseeing."
Hearing this, everyone deeply agreed.
The sense of security Jun Xiaoyao gave was too strong.
Following him meant not having to worry about any life-threatening dangers.
In one word: stable.
Although Yan Rumeng was somewhat addicted to this sense of security and didn't really want to leave Jun Xiaoyao's side.
But if she stayed by Jun Xiaoyao's side forever, she would get no training at all, making the Ultimate Ancient Path meaningless.
Yan Rumeng had already awakened her Dream Butterfly bloodline, and she needed more training.
"Very well, as you wish," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's calm demeanor, for some reason, Yan Rumeng felt a bit angry.
How could he not show even a bit of reluctance or try to keep her?
"Young Master, I also want to go train alone," Yi Yu said.
Now that his mental knot had been untied, Yi Yu's strength had surged, and he had more confidence.
"I want to stay in the Creation Vessel to cultivate first," Yu Chanjuan said.
She was also embarrassed to keep relying on Jun Xiaoyao.
"I, I, I want to follow Young Master, to rub Young Master every day, no, to be rubbed by Young Master every day!" Tai Yin Jade Rabbit said charmingly.
She had no interest in the struggles and training of the Ultimate Ancient Path.
As long as she could be petted by Jun Xiaoyao every day and have carrots to eat, she was happy enough.
"I still need to manage the affairs of the Creation Vessel, so I won't burden Young Master," Xia Bingyun said considerately.
In the end, only Tai Yin Jade Rabbit followed Jun Xiaoyao like a pet.
The others all had their own affairs.
"Everyone, we'll meet again at the end of the Ancient Path."
Jun Xiaoyao bid farewell and leisurely left the Creation Vessel with his hands behind his back.
Yan Rumeng, Yu Chanjuan, Xia Bingyun, and Yu Bixuan among the four Forbidden Path Children all gazed at Jun Xiaoyao's back until he completely disappeared from sight.
"Hmph, not even a bit of reluctance..." Yan Rumeng stomped her jade foot, seemingly dissatisfied, but her eyes showed reluctance.
"Young Master has important matters to attend to, how can we burden him?" Xia Bingyun said.
All the women were reluctant to part, and Yi Yu, watching from the side, sighed in admiration.
The Young Master's prowess wasn't limited to just cultivation.
...
The Ultimate Ancient Path stretched endlessly.
For some geniuses, stepping onto this path was like putting one foot into the path to the underworld.
One careless moment could lead to falling into the Yellow Springs.
But for an extremely small number of forbidden prodigies.
This Ultimate Ancient Path was nothing more than a scenic tour.
And incidentally stepping on a bunch of ants along the way.
For Jun Xiaoyao, the significance of the Ultimate Ancient Path was:
Just a casual walk.
Just casually slapping some faces.
Just casually killing someone.
Nothing more.
Jun Xiaoyao set out again from the Chaotic Star Sea, piloting his starship to continue forward.
Along the way, he also encountered some teleportation arrays, directly teleporting forward to save time.
In the blink of an eye, another half year passed.
During this half year, Jun Xiaoyao also encountered various situations, but they were all smoothly resolved by him.
Finally, Jun Xiaoyao arrived at the seventieth checkpoint of the Ultimate Ancient Path.
At this checkpoint, besides a huge ancient city floating in the universe, there were also two ancient planets.
Domination Star!
Desolate Star!
Jun Xiaoyao stood on the deck of the starship, with Tai Yin Jade Rabbit crouching on his shoulder.
Jun Xiaoyao gazed at the two stars in the distance, his brows tightly furrowed.
Because he had noticed.
The energy fields of these two stars were completely different, as distinct as heaven and earth.
The star that was vaguely surrounded by purple qi had abundant fortune, overflowing with spiritual energy, with various natural Dao principles and order chains intertwined, appearing extremely prosperous.
The other celestial body, however, was like a wasteland, devoid of spiritual energy, extremely barren, like a desert.
The two ancient planets were like a wealthy family and a street beggar, completely incomparable.
If Jun Xiaoyao's guess was correct, the prosperous planet surrounded by purple qi should be the Domination Star.
And that desert-like planet, almost approaching a dead star, was the Desolate Star.
This made Jun Xiaoyao's gaze very cold, and at the same time, he was puzzled.
What exactly had happened to cause such a change?
Just as Jun Xiaoyao was pondering in his heart, the mechanical voice of the system sounded in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, a new check-in location has been refreshed!"
"Please check in at the Ancient Sacred Temple!"
