Chapter 272 - The Dao Is Endless, There’s Only Endless Exploration
Chapter 272 The Dao Is Endless, There’s Only Endless Exploration
Cui Heng was driving the flying ship he had refined.
However, it had been adjusted to become only three miles long and less than a mile tall. It did not maintain its original size.
After all, this was a Dharma treasure that was equivalent to the Nascent Soul realm. It was very easy to change the size.
He had to keep a low profile when he was outside.
Unlike Cui Heng and Li Cheng, who had already experienced space travel, Hui Shi and Pei Qingshu were leaving the planet for the first time.
They could not suppress the excitement in their hearts.
“Master, with my current physical strength, I should be able to walk directly in the starry sky of the universe, right?” Pei Qingshu asked Cui Heng.
He was very concerned about that.
That was because this determined how he would fight in the future.
If the strength of his body was enough to directly walk in the universe, he could fight from the ground to the void of the universe.
“A Heaven Monarch can already walk in the void around the planet, and a Mystic Deity can walk further,” Cui Heng explained with a smile. “For a Limitless Golden Immortal like you who has cultivated a Martial Dao True Body, it won’t be a problem even if you go to the sun to get a tan.”
“Hahaha, that’s good. In the future, I won’t have to be restrained when fighting others.” Pei Qingshu nodded and smiled.
“…” Li Cheng listened to their conversation from the side and was extremely surprised. He thought to himself, “I’m also a Limitless Golden Immortal. Why don’t I dare to get a tan on the sun?”
It was fine if he was inferior to a supreme existence like Cui Heng.
Was there such a huge difference between him and someone who was also a Limitless Golden Immortal?
Was a Golden Immortal who had used the Immortal True Essence to advance really so weak?
For a moment, he doubted his life and even envied his sister who stayed on Daozhou Star.
At the very least, she could obtain the true Heaven Ascension Technique and no longer have to rely on the Immortal True Essence.
“Sir, how big is this universe?” At this moment, Hui Shi, who had been staring outside, suddenly spoke. He looked at the endless void outside. “It’s as if there’s no border.”
“I don’t know.” Cui Heng shook his head gently.
“Even Sir doesn’t know?” Hui Shi turned around in surprise. “The universe has existed since ancient times.” Cui Heng smiled and said, “Perhaps one day, when my perception can cover the universe and span present and ancient times, I can figure out how big the universe is.”
He really could not give an answer now.
How big was the universe? According to his previous life, Earthlings’ observable range of the universe was 90 billion light years.
What kind of concept was this?
With the Myriad Heavens Teleportation Immortal Incantation, Cui Heng could teleport a distance of 500 light years after three days and nights of chanting. At that rate, he would need about 600 million years to cross such a distance if he traveled along a straight path.
It was equivalent to the time from the Cambrian period on Earth to modern society.
This was only a straight line distance. If he wanted to adjust his direction to reach the destination 90 billion light years away, the time needed was even more impossible to calculate.
The range of 90 billion light years was already so vast.
However, this was only an observable range. It might be even larger outside.
Perhaps this 90 billion light years range was just a drop in the ocean compared to the scale of the actual range.
At this moment, Pei Qingshu and Li Cheng also looked at the endless deep space outside with complicated expressions.
Previously, they had all carefully thought about how big the universe was. Now that they heard Hui Shi’s question and Cui Heng’s answer, they suddenly felt how small they were.
“Master, can people really cultivate to that realm?” Pei Qingshu looked at Cui Heng. ‘When my perception can cover the universe and span present and ancient times, I can figure out how big the universe is’. Such a description was too exaggerated.
If he could reach that realm, wouldn’t he be able to know all the mysteries of this boundless universe and be omnipotent?
“The Dao is endless. There’s only endless exploration. Before reaching that step, who can say for sure?” Cui Heng chuckled and pointed ahead. “We’ve arrived at Tianzhu
Star.”
When Cui Heng’s flying ship approached Tianzhu Star, Star Lord Tianzhu had already appeared and arrived outside the planet to welcome them.
“Welcome, Master Immortal!”
Tianzhu Star Lord bowed respectfully.
At the same time, he used his divine power to gather the endless starlight in the void, turning it into a colorful path that extended from the ground of Tianzhu Star to Cui Heng’s flying ship’s cabin door.
Although Cui Heng had already told Pei Qingshu and Hui Shi about the situation on Tianzhu Star on the way here, including the fact that there was a very powerful Tianzhu Star Lord here, what one heard was false and what one saw was true. There was still a huge difference in the experience of the two.
Especially after seeing the colorful path condensed from billions of rays of starlight. A long path crossed the dark and deep void of the universe, connecting the flying ship to the vast land. It was indeed exciting.
“Such power is really extremely shocking.”
Pei Qingshu looked at the Tianzhu Star Lord who was kneeling outside with a burning gaze, wondering when he would be able to obtain such powerful strength.
“Sir actually has such a powerful subordinate?” Hui Shi felt a strong sense of danger in his heart. He made up his mind to work harder to improve his combat skills. He could not relax for a moment. “Hui Shi, Qingshu, follow me out.”

Cui Heng called the two of them out of the flying ship, but he did not bring Li Cheng with him.
The three of them walked along the path of starlight and arrived in front of Star Lord Tianzhu.
As they approached, Hui Shi and Pei Qingshu could clearly sense the incomparably powerful and boundless aura in his body.

This even made the two of them feel that the person in front of them was not a person, but a huge planet.
“There seem to be some changes on Tianzhu Star.” Cui Heng glanced at the huge star in front of him and said to Tianzhu Star Lord, “Did you specially make the changes?”
“Master Immortal, that’s indeed the case,” Star Lord Tianzhu said extremely respectfully. “You said that you wanted this place to be a trial ground, so I specially set up different venues.
The rules of every venue are different. This can allow many types of trials to be carried out, and it can also allow the trial-takers to receive sufficient training.”
“Very good.” Cui Heng nodded and praised, “You did well.”
“It’s my blessing to share Master Immortal’s worries.” Star Lord Tianzhu’s attitude was still extremely respectful.
“Then I’ll leave these two to you.” Cui Heng pushed Pei Qingshu and Hui Shi forward and smiled. “Let them undergo the trial as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Master Immortal!” Star Lord Tianzhu nodded.
“Thank you, Master!” Pei Qingshu also thanked Cui Heng. He looked at the Tianzhu Star in front of him excitedly and wished he could rush down and fight now.
Previously, on the flying ship, Cui Heng had said that there were dozens of Limitless Golden Immortals imprisoned on Tianzhu Star. As long as they were all defeated, he would pass the trial.
This suited his wishes.
“Thank you, Sir.” Hui Shi also thanked Cui
Heng.
However, he was not as eager as Pei Qingshu.
Instead, he looked at Tianzhu Star in silence, his mind constantly thinking about the possible situations he might encounter after fighting with others, and how he should deal with these situations.
How could he obtain victory in the shortest time possible and pass the trial as quickly as possible?
Hui Shi was very cautious.
This was also him subconsciously imitating Cui Heng’s style of doing things.
“There’s no hurry to thank me.” Cui Heng shook his head and looked at the two of them. He said in a low voice, “I won’t wait here for you to pass the trial. Instead, I’ll continue forward.
“However, after we arrive at the Dark Sea Star, I’ll stay there for a period of time. You can still drive the flying shuttle over and chase after me during this period of time and continue to travel with me.
If you miss this period of time and can’t catch up, you can only go the rest of the way
yourself.”
His tone was firm and unquestionable.
Pei Qingshu and Hui Shi were stunned when they heard this. Then, they understood what Cui Heng meant.
Did he want them to feel a certain amount of pressure and not casually brush off the matter of the trial? Perhaps he also wanted to use this to set a benchmark for the latecomers?
“Yes, Master!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The two of them bowed to Cui Heng and said in unison, “We won’t let you down!”
“That’s good.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and smiled. “Then I’ll wait for you on Dark Sea Star.”
With that, he waved his hand.
The countless basic substances in the void in front of him quickly condensed, and then he mobilized nomological laws to participate in the condensation process. In the blink of an eye, countless natural treasures that emitted dazzling divine light were created. Then, they collided with each other and formed the shape of a flying shuttle.
In the end, a ball of scarlet True Fire swept across and instantly completed the refinement of these flying shuttles, revealing a total of 1,000 flying shuttles with smooth curves and flowing lights.
Li Cheng, who was in the flying ship, watched this scene with his mouth agape. He almost thought that he was hallucinating.
As a Limitless Golden Immortal of the Five Views Realm, he knew very well how difficult it was to build a flying shuttle. Even the top sects with Sages only had about ten flying shuttles.
But what did he just see?
In an instant, a thousand flying shuttles were created, and from the looks of it, they were not ordinary flying shuttles.
“It’s too exaggerated. Unbelievable, unbelievable!” Li Cheng muttered. At the same time, he was overjoyed. He had really obtained a supreme fortune.
Outside the flying ship.
Cui Heng casually grabbed a palm-sized Cosmic Bag and stored the 1,000 flying shuttles in it before handing it to Star Lord Tianzhu. He instructed, “Those who pass the trial can receive a flying shuttle from you.”
Tianzhu Star Lord held the Cosmic Bag with both hands and said respectfully, “Yes, Master Immortal!”
After making the arrangements for Tianzhu Star, Cui Heng left with Li Cheng.
They continued to sail towards Dark Sea Star.
Although the rest of the journey was a little far, they did not encounter any waves along the way.
After passing through the orbit of two planets, Cui Heng finally saw a dark blue planet.
This was a very huge planet, about five times the diameter of Daozhou Star. Its surface was completely wrapped in extremely cold air.
Even from inside the flying ship, one could feel the frigid chills of this planet.
According to their information, there was a teleportation array set up by the last Ascender on this planet.
And there was a Star Map that marked the location of Taihong Star.
“The frigid air near Dark Sea Star is actually so heavy,” Li Cheng said in surprise. The last time he and Li Wei passed by here, they did not notice the situation on Dark Sea Star at all.
“It’s not surprising that the frigid air is heavy.” Cui Heng also looked at the huge star with interest and chuckled. “What’s strange is that there’s actually life in this environment.”
“What?!” Li Cheng was shocked.
