At the same time.
Sixth Order Universe.
In a boundless, vast Starry Sky.
An ancient boat was sailing through the stars.
Two figures sat cross-legged on the ancient boat.
One of them had grizzled hair and beard, a thin frame, wore a light gray Daoist robe, and had a kind face.
The other had a bull’s head and a human body, tall and burly like a small tower, his body glimmering with a bluish-black light.
These two were the Daoist Ancestor and Qing Niu.
Ever since they parted ways with Yang Luo and the others, the Daoist Ancestor and Qing Niu had stepped onto the Starry Sky Path.
However, the Daoist Ancestor and Qing Niu set out from the west, while Yang Luo and the others set out from the east.
Since they were headed in completely opposite directions, they wouldn’t cross paths along the way.
At this moment.
Qing Niu really couldn’t sit still anymore. He woke up, took out a wine gourd from his storage bag, and started gulping down wine.
"Refreshing!"
He exhaled a breath of wine and said, "Daoist Ancestor, it’s been almost a year since we parted with Brother Yang. I wonder if Brother Yang and the others have stepped onto the Starry Sky Path?
If they have, then where have they reached now?
Also, has Brother Yang found any other Innate Spirit Root and Connate Spiritual Treasure?
And also, I don’t know what realm Brother Yang’s cultivation has stepped into now?"
Hearing Qing Niu’s endless chatter, the Daoist Ancestor’s brows twitched and he opened his eyes.
He turned his head and glared at Qing Niu, saying displeasedly, "You idiot, can’t you be quiet for a while?"
Qing Niu chuckled and said, "Daoist Ancestor, this old bull just feels too bored.
Daoist Ancestor, don’t just sit there meditating all the time, chat with this old bull for a bit."
The Daoist Ancestor shook his head. In his heart, he also missed Yang Luo very much.
To him, Yang Luo was not only the son of an old friend, but also his disciple.
The Daoist Ancestor raised his eyes to gaze at the distant stars and said, "Perhaps Little Luo has already stepped onto the Starry Sky Path and is advancing toward greater strength.
Little Luo’s talent, comprehension, and potential were already very high, and he’s extremely diligent.
Perhaps his cultivation has already surpassed yours by now."
"What the hell?"
Qing Niu’s mouth twitched as he said, "This old bull has already stepped into Mid Stage Immortal King. Are you saying Brother Yang has reached Late Stage Immortal King?
No way. Back then we stepped into Immortal King together. Even if his cultivation improved, it should be just like this old bull’s!"
The Daoist Ancestor gave Qing Niu a sidelong glance and said, "Your talent, comprehension, and potential are decent, but your aptitude is a bit dull.
The key point is, you’re always slacking off. Little Luo surpassing you is only a matter of time."
Qing Niu scratched his head and said, "That’s true, this kid really isn’t simple. Maybe he really has surpassed this old bull already!
No, no, this old bull has to keep working hard!
If I really get left in the dust by that kid, this old bull would lose all face!"
He paused for a moment.
Qing Niu asked with a cheerful grin, "Daoist Ancestor, you should be about to cross your Quasi-Immortal Emperor Tribulation, right?"
"Mm."
The Daoist Ancestor nodded. "Soon."
"Good, good, good!"
Qing Niu kept punching the air, saying excitedly, "Once you step into Quasi-Immortal Emperor, you’ll have the chance to return to the peak again and step into Immortal Emperor!"
However, before Qing Niu’s words finished!
The Daoist Ancestor’s heart tightened. He abruptly stood up, lifting his gaze toward a section of Starry Sky ahead!
"Daoist Ancestor, what happened?"
Qing Niu hurriedly stood up too, feeling that the Daoist Ancestor’s expression was a bit off.
The Daoist Ancestor stared fixedly at that region of Starry Sky in the distance, frowning. "I don’t know why, but I’ve sensed two familiar auras!"
"Familiar auras?!"
Qing Niu froze for a moment and asked, "Could it be those remnants from the Shen Xu Universe?!"
"Highly likely!"
The Daoist Ancestor nodded.
