The Journey of Feng Zun 2
Chapter 93

The moonlight shone softly like water, and the surrounding peach garden trees rippled.

Zu Qinghan recounted everything in the Star Perfection Book, relating to the Nine Great Star Ruins.

The Nine Great Star Ruins had existed since antiquity, just like the nine gigantic natural forts scattered throughout infinite space.

In the middle of the starry sky, there was the Nine Prefectures of Wild Orion, which included the Tian Clan Realm within.

The Nine Great Star Ruins occupied its outskirts. 

The Ninth Star Ruins, where the Luo Mainland was located, was one of them.

The book Star Perfection describes the Nine Great Star Ruins as a giant circle, and Wild Orion is located at the center of the circle.

The book Star Perfection says nothing about the space outside the Great Star Ruins.

However, in it are listed the names of the worlds attached to each of the star ruins.

There was the Snow Lotus Realm, and the Blue Lotus Realm, and of course, the Luo Realm or the Luo Mainland…

After learning all of this, Feng Zun sharply detected something interesting.

The Star Perfection book turned out to also record the accurate location of Wild Orion, Feng Zun found this quite surprising.

However, this confirmed his initial hypothesis, from the point of view of the experts of Wild Orion, the world associated with the Great Star Ruins was indeed located in space!

In order to leave the Wild Orion and venture into the starry sky, one must first cross the Nine Great Star Ruins. Only then could one truly reach the depths of outer space.

The Nine Great Star Ruins formed a gigantic circle, with Wild Orion as the center. Why does Wild Orion feel like it's surrounded…? Feng Zun muttered to himself.

He recalled what the Nine-Headed Bird had told him, every expert who left the Ninth Star Ruins and stepped further into space, will be seen as escaped convicts by the prison guards!

The Nine-Headed Bird had arrived at the lifeless world of the Sixth Star Ruins, after crossing through space. It was there that a warden caught him and imprisoned him inside the God Blood Cave.

Feng Zun now knew that the world of the Sixth Star Realm was called the Yellow Lotus Realm.

Similarly, according to the Nine-Headed Bird, no matter who they were, that was trying to leave the Nine Great Star Ruins and step further into the starry sky, no matter who they were, will be considered an escaped convict and must be arrested!

All of this only added to Feng Zun's belief that something was wrong with the arrangement of the Nine Great Star Ruins. 

No matter how he looked at it, it looked like nine gigantic cages arranged in a starry sky with a circular shape. And the heart of that circle, Wild Orion, seemed to be trapped in another layer of nature!

But if that was true, the reality of the situation was too cruel.Feng Zun furrowed his brows.

The Nine-Headed Bird called the mysterious faction of the prison guards the Heaven Will Sect.

What is considered excessive?

Answer's simple. In the eyes of the guards, those who left the Nine-Star Ruins, and stepped further into the starry sky was an exaggerated act. They see the men as escaped convicts, and treat them as prisoners should!

Of course, all of this was merely Feng Zun's current hypothesis.

He could not learn the truth completely or get a clear answer just from this clue. 

Right, the Radiant Age has begun. I'm afraid that entities deep within the Meteorite Gorge will appear soon.

It was most likely that he was the same prison warden, who had once severely injured Yuan Xu in the Abyss of the Demon Domain.

When I left the Eternal Lotus Island, he could feel that I was carrying the Luo Vein Seed. That is, if he leaves the Meteorite Gorge, sooner or later he will definitely come looking for me.

All I have to do now is sit back and wait for my prey to fall into my lap. As long as I can capture it, then I can find out the origin of the prison guards, as well as the secrets of the Nine Great Star Ruins and the Ancient Guarding Energy Force.

Here, Feng Zun threw away his scattered thoughts, faced Zu Qinghan, and tilted his head, "Thank you very much for your explanation, this information is very important to me."

Zu Qinghan hurriedly waved his hand, ignored his gratitude and laughed, "That's just some information recorded in some ancient tome, so you don't need to be polite."

Feng Zun then asked about the challenge from the enemy faction. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The factions suffered a crushing defeat a few days ago, but now they have formed a larger alliance, and issued a challenge simultaneously. They seem very confident. Why could that be?"

Zu Qinghan's expression changed drastically, "It's not that they are not afraid, but they are worried that you will appear personally on their headquarters doorstep one by one, and take revenge."

He then launched a detailed explanation.

On the eleventh day of the fourth lunar month, Feng Zun experienced tribulation and broke through, killing twenty-six Immortal Ascension experts in a single move. This caused a huge uproar thoroughly.

At the same time, the factions hostile to Feng Zun were completely shaken, to the point that they could barely eat or sleep.

After all, the strongest expert of the enemy faction was still at the Immortal Ascension Realm.

Feng Zun could kill many Immortal Ascension cultivators alone. Of course the factions that were hostile to him became panicked!

It was precisely because they were afraid that Feng Zun would chase after them one by one to solve the problem, that they immediately gathered together. They formed an alliance and challenged Feng Zun to settle this matter for good.

As soon as Feng Zun heard his full story, he couldn't help but laugh, "And what if I refuse to accept their challenge?"

After a moment of silence, Zu Qinghan said, "It is likely that they will split apart, each of them will disband their faction, and they will shut themselves out from the outside world, he said, watch over and wait until the time comes to take revenge against you, Fellow Daoist."

He paused for a moment, then added, "If that happens, of course they won't mind. If they can't beat you, they'll do everything in their power to target the people around you. If that happened, it would definitely cause endless trouble. I'm sure you don't want that to happen either."

Feng Zun's smile faded, and he nodded, "That sounds like an endless prolonged conflict."
