"Just the two of you coming to explore the Ancient Star?" Tang Feng asked.
"We didn't specifically come to this planet. In the Star Domain, we encountered a Star Nebula storm and got separated from our Sect brothers. Our energy ran out, so we had to land on this planet."
"Then why are people from the Grand Shamanic Sect chasing you?"
The two from the Eternal Divine Sect exchanged a glance, and the woman took out a Crystal Ball.
"What is this?"
"This is the key to open a cave. We discovered an Ancient Relic, but before we could open it, people from the Grand Shamanic Sect appeared. They wanted us to hand it over, but we refused."
"The relic isn't far from here, is it?"
"Yes, senior, it's on the mountain up ahead," the woman pointed outside.
"Alright, let's go explore together in a while."
The two, hearing this, stood up excitedly, "Thank you, senior."
Having a powerful figure like Tang Feng with them clearly made it much safer. Initially, when they took out the Crystal Ball, they had already given up.
Unexpectedly, there was a twist like this.
The two were very grateful to Tang Feng.
Honestly, meeting good people like Tang Feng in the vast Star Domain is incredibly rare.
The world of Cultivation is fraught with dangers at every step.
A single misstep could lead to death and the dissipation of one's Dao.
There are too few good people.
Especially in a Star Domain where resources are scarce; once you run into something, the consequences are dire.
That night, the man and woman stayed in the villa.
They hadn't slept so peacefully in a long time.
When they awoke the next day, it took them a while to remember they were in someone else's home, so they quickly got up.
In the hall, several sisters were already preparing breakfast.
Meanwhile, her senior brother was in the garden conversing with Tang Feng.
She noticed another person in the courtyard, the powerful cultivator from the Great Witch Sect who had chased them. Judging by his state, it seemed he had been subdued.
Tang Feng learned about the situation of the Eternal Divine Sect, surprising him that the sect was several Star Domains away from here.
It would take at least two years to return from here.
And that's without stopping.
Although the strength of the Eternal Divine Sect isn't quite on par with the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, it's not far behind.
Tang Feng looked at the Star Realm cultivator from the Great Witch Sect and asked, "Nothing to say to me?"
"Victory without honor, I refuse to concede."
"Whether you concede or not is not up to you. Actually, even if you don't speak, I have many ways to make you talk," Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Then go ahead, but don't expect to get anything out of me."
"Who said anything about using force? Don't worry, I won't kill you. Such a good guard would be a shame to waste," Tang Feng said, smiling.
"You think you can control me? Let's see if you have the capability."
"Very well, since that's the case, I'll grant your wish." Tang Feng absorbed him into the Swallowing Sky Hall.
He became a relief sculpture in the hall.
He naturally became Tang Feng's puppet, bound to never betray.
He was brought back out.
"Greetings, Master."
"Call me Young Master from now on."
"Yes, Young Master." This dignified Inner Sect Disciple of the Great Witch Sect had become a servant; he probably never expected this.
"Eat some breakfast; the energy consumption on this Ancient Star is significant. Without eating, your body won't hold up."
From the moment Tang Feng landed on the Ancient Star, he felt its pressure.
The physical energy consumption was astonishing.
Even with his strong physique, he found it hard to withstand, hinting at the immense pressure this Ancient Star exerts on the human body.
After breakfast, the group arrived at the entrance of the relic.
A dilapidated cave entrance appeared before Tang Feng and the others.
"Brother Tang, it's in there," said the woman from the Eternal Divine Sect.
Tang Feng had them lead the way.
Upon entering the cave, they discovered it wasn't dark inside; the cave walls emitted their own light, though it was unclear what material they were made of.
They walked for a while before reaching further into the cave.
An ancient stone door lay across the cave, with many scratches visible on its surface, possibly man-made or caused by beasts.
Tang Feng handed the Crystal Ball to the woman; only she knew where to place it.
He hadn't found any grooves on the front or sides.
The woman from the Eternal Divine Sect turned around and stopped ten meters away from the entrance.
After searching the ground for a while, she found the groove.
The Crystal Ball was placed above it, seemingly a poor fit.
Yet the Crystal Ball reacted, emitting a dazzling light, and then it sank into the groove.
In the next moment, the sound of the stone door opening reached everyone's ears.
The heavy stone door slowly opened.
Though the speed was slow, it didn't affect everyone's focus.
After the stone door opened, the inside was naturally invisible, shielded by a seven-colored curtain of light.
Tang Feng scanned it with his Divine Sense, and after confirming there was no danger, he led the way into the curtain.
The others followed him inside.
What is this?
They saw a Divine Temple in the distance.
On either side of the temple stood two giants.
At the giants' feet lay a stone dragon.
In the middle, a green path led straight into the temple, looking very beautiful.
What could be inside here?
The group cautiously moved towards the temple, unsure of what might be inside. Perhaps there might still be living beings.
The more ancient something is, the stranger it tends to be. After all, it's normal for ancient people to die, but if something remains, it must be extraordinary.
Hope we don't open something we shouldn't.
As the group passed by four giant stone statues, their eyes flickered slightly but quickly petrified again. Unfortunately, no one noticed. If Tang Feng had, he might not have ventured into the temple.
As they stepped into the temple, it was already too late.
A burst of laughter echoed in the grand hall.
Tang Feng immediately realized something was wrong. He quickly collected the five women into his spatial storage. In perilous situations, his first thought was for their safety. As long as he didn't have to worry about them, he could investigate the peculiarities here.
However, things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. But since he was here, he wasn't afraid of confronting the opponent.
Tang Feng glanced around the grand hall, his gaze finally resting on a family portrait painting.
"There's something strange about this painting," the woman from the Eternal Divine Sect also sensed something amiss.
Yet, she was one step too late and was enveloped, appearing in the Painting World. This grand hall truly was frightening.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, Brother Tang. We are now seeing a starry sky, and nothing else."
"You've entered the Painting World."
Tang Feng was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Ah, that's impossible, how could this be?" This truly frightened them.
"Stay calm and let me investigate." After circling around once, Tang Feng confirmed the two women were sealed within the painting. Strange, why wasn't he affected?
"Boy, if you really want to enter, I can make it happen for you."
"Who!"
"This Evil God allows you to stay because I find you promising." A faint shadow appeared in the grand hall.
"You say you're the Evil God?" The two within the painting were shocked.
"What, have you heard of me?"
The Evil God was taken aback. Having been a powerhouse in Ancient Times, who knows how many years had passed since then; was there still someone who remembered him?
