Jiang Feng stood above Mars, his back to the universe, seemingly carefully sensing and preparing for an earth-shattering challenge. In reality, all his attention was focused on sensing the extremely subtle killing intent and greedy throbbing hidden behind the endless mists of time and causality.
The fish is ready to take the bait.
Meanwhile, in the Big Dipper, in the southern part of the Eastern Wilderness.
Princess Long Li of the Myriad Dragon Nest stood quietly atop a mountain.
She was still dressed in a magnificent pale gold palace gown, with sparkling dragon horns on her forehead and deep purple eyes gazing at the distant sky.
Not far from her, on an open ground, lay a young purple-gold dragon, over ten zhang long, covered with purple-gold scales, with crystalline dragon horns on its head, and exceptionally majestic.
This little dragon had clearly been carefully selected and soothed. Although it was somewhat curious and uneasy about the unfamiliar environment and mission, it was quite docile under Long Li's gentle divine sense. Occasionally, it would sway its huge dragon tail, creating gusts of wind.
In the shadows further away, the void distorted slightly, as if blending into its surroundings, but the chilling, menacing aura was perfectly concealed.
Only Long Li could vaguely sense that the terrifying beast named "Nine Nether Hound" was like the most loyal shadow guard, lurking nearby, its cold golden beast eyes vigilantly scanning all directions to ensure that no threat could approach this area.
"Time is almost up..."
Long Li glanced at the sky, then couldn't help but look towards the direction of the Heavenly Court.
She had naturally sensed the terrifying fluctuations about the "path to immortality" that had just swept across the universe, and her heart was shaken.
Jiang Feng actually discovered a clue to the path to immortality at this critical juncture? As for the matter of guiding his sister... However, since Jiang Feng had already made arrangements, everything should still be under control.
She shook her head, clearing her mind of distractions, and focused on waiting for the little princess who was about to arrive from the "ancestral star".
Blue Star, Jiang Yu's home.
Jiang Yu barely slept a wink all night, partly from excitement and partly from cultivating and regulating his breathing.
Yesterday's "Everest jump" completely ignited the world, and her current reputation and attention have reached an unimaginable height.
Private messages, comments, and friend requests had already flooded her in, so she simply turned off most of the notifications.
Her parents barely slept either, repeatedly giving her instructions and packing her a large suitcase full of things, from clothes and snacks to commonly used medicines, and even a powerful flashlight and a multi-functional military knife.
Jiang Yu has long since embarked on the path of cultivation, so naturally he wouldn't look down on such ordinary weapons.
But seeing her father's confident assurance that it might come in handy, Jiang Yu didn't refuse anymore.
"Xiaoyu, once you get there, you must listen to your brother, don't run around, and don't cause trouble." Mother Li Xiulan's eyes reddened again as she held her daughter's hand tightly.
"I know, Mom, you've said it a million times." Jiang Yu said, but her heart ached. She hugged her parents tightly. "Don't worry, my brother's here. I'm just going there to have some fun, do some live streaming, and I'll be back soon... um, I think." She remembered what her brother had said about not being able to return frequently in the short term, and her voice lowered.
"Safety first, safety first!" Father Jiang Dajun repeatedly emphasized, patting his daughter's shoulder hard. This taciturn man's eyes were full of reluctance and worry.
After finally calming her parents down, Jiang Yu returned to her room, changed into a set of sportswear that was easy to move in, carried a backpack full of live streaming equipment, a spare power supply and a few personal items, and had a dusty storage bag hanging from her waist.
She looked at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her wildly beating heart.
"Brother, I'm ready! Come and pick me up!" she murmured to herself, clutching the warm jade slip tightly.
Time passed second by second.
The sky outside the window changed from pitch black to a light glimmer, and then to full daylight.
The agreed time has passed, but the older brother has not made a move.
The jade slip remained silent, without any further news.
Jiang Yu's initial excitement and anticipation gradually turned into anxiety and unease.
She paced back and forth in the room, glancing at the jade slip every now and then, and then looking out the window.
"Brother...you haven't forgotten, have you? Or was something holding you back?"
"Could it be... something happened on Beidou Star?" She recalled the palpitations she had vaguely felt last night, and a sudden panic gripped her heart.
"No, no, my brother is so powerful, what could possibly happen to him?" She forced herself to calm down, but her palms, which were holding the jade slip, were already sweating.
"You promised to come today...you're not going to back out, are you?" This thought, once it appeared, clung to her like a vine, making her feel a strange sense of panic and loss.
She had been waiting and preparing for so long, but what if her brother suddenly didn't come?
She tried to concentrate and contact Jiang Feng through the jade slip: "Brother? Are you there? I'm ready. When are you coming to pick me up?"
Just as she was panicking, almost thinking that something had really happened to her brother, or that everything before was just a dream that was too real—"Buzz!"
The air directly above her head, in the very center of the room, began to twist and ripple violently without warning!
As if a giant rock had been thrown into a calm lake, the space rippled outwards in circles, and the center point suddenly collapsed inwards, forming a bottomless dark vortex.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling circular "portal" about two meters in diameter, composed entirely of starlight and mysterious runes, suddenly opened up at the center of the vortex.
On the other side of the door was not the familiar room she knew, but a magnificent passageway shimmering with light, where countless stars flowed like a river.
The passageway was filled with an indescribable ancient, vast, and completely different atmosphere from that of Earth.
The aura was both powerful and gentle, as if it were calling to her.
It's a stargate! A stargate for interdimensional teleportation!
Jiang Yu's gasp caught in her throat as she stared wide-eyed at the unbelievable scene.
Before she could react, a gentle yet irresistibly powerful suction force instantly emanated from the starlight portal, enveloping her entire body.
"Ah—!" She only had time for a short scream before the suction force lifted her off the ground, like a light feather, and she was involuntarily thrown into the dazzling starlight portal.
Just as she stepped inside, she seemed to vaguely hear gasps of surprise coming from her parents' room behind her, and perhaps screams from early risers on the street below.
The next second, the star portal suddenly contracted, turning into a point of light, and then disappeared silently into the air.
