"Brother, let's head out."
"Won't you glance back one more time? We might not return here for a long stretch."
"There's no point in looking further. I've already etched the look of our home world into my memory," Little Yan replied with sincere determination.
A smile crossed Lu Qing's face. "Alright, then we're off."
With just a flicker of intent, the Void Flying Boat morphed into a streak of brilliance, soaring far into the depths of the starry expanse.
On this occasion, Lu Qing chose not to plunge straight through the void aboard the Void Flying Boat, slicing across the boundless stars.
Rather, he intended to journey leisurely at first, much like his initial expedition, allowing Little Yan to fully absorb the stellar vistas and broaden her horizons.
Naturally, even sans void traversal, the Void Flying Boat—now restored to its peak as a top-grade spiritual artifact—possessed a velocity that was utterly breathtaking.
Before long, they reached the edge of the immense spatial turbulence.
"Brother, is this the spatial turbulence you faced in the past?"
Little Yan gazed upon the endless spatial turbulence stretching before them, her features lit with wonder.
"That's right, and it serves as the innate shield from the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, blocking countless Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators from venturing into the starry sky."
Lu Qing fixed his eyes on the spatial turbulence in front as well.
Given his present might, this spatial turbulence held no danger for him whatsoever.
Yet for folks from their home world, capped at a single tribulation within the Primordial Spirit, it remained a formidable obstacle indeed.
This very reason led the Old Dragon Turtle to remark that Primordial Spirits who set out in the prior cultivation age either failed to return, fading into oblivion, or came back empty-handed.
After observing the spatial turbulence briefly, Lu Qing prompted the Void Flying Boat to activate void travel and cross through it.
In the days ahead, Lu Qing guided Little Yan through the starry sky, where they beheld countless awe-inspiring sights she'd never encountered.
They echoed the adventures shared by Lu Qing and Little Li on their debut journey outward.
Along the way, Lu Qing led the group to drift through various small worlds, savoring the marvels of those distant realms.
As such, through their odyssey, roughly half a year elapsed until Lu Qing spotted once more the grand world encircled by a handful of smaller ones.
"Brother, could that be the Heavenly Origin Great World?"
Little Yan stared at the colossal great world looming ahead, her jaw dropping slightly in awe.
In truth, the Heavenly Origin Great World loomed so enormously that their home world appeared as a mere tiny stone beside a towering peak, utterly dwarfed by its scale.
"Correct, that's the Heavenly Origin Great World—Xiao Bai's birthplace too."
Lu Qing peered forward, his mind drifting back to the words the Old Cyan Dragon had shared prior to his departure from the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.
"Ah Qing, are you aware why so many mighty cultivators at the Unity Realm Stage or higher opt to found their sects beyond the great world's bounds?" the Old Cyan Dragon had inquired then.
Lu Qing responded, "I'm afraid I don't know—please share your wisdom, elder."
Truth be told, during that moment, Lu Qing lacked even basic knowledge of the formidable powers scattered across the starry sky.
"To be honest, it ties into certain mysteries surrounding those beyond the Unity Realm," the Old Cyan Dragon explained. "Did you realize that upon attaining the Unity Realm Stage, beings find themselves 'repelled' by numerous worlds, big and small, throughout the starry sky?"
"Repelled?" Lu Qing felt confused.
"Indeed, repelled," the Old Cyan Dragon affirmed with a nod. "The countless worlds that foster myriad life forms stand as one of the starry sky's most profound wonders.
Each such world embodies a wondrous manifestation of the Great Path.
Inside these vital domains, inherent laws function to sustain and govern the realm.
Collectively, this framework of laws forms what we call the Heavenly Dao."
"Heavenly Dao?" Lu Qing expressed deep surprise upon absorbing the Old Cyan Dragon's words.
"That's it—the Heavenly Dao, or alternatively, the governing principles of the world," the Old Cyan Dragon pressed on. "Born from diverse Great Paths, the Heavenly Dao lacks sentience yet follows its fixed patterns.
Should anyone breach those patterns, the Heavenly Dao might issue a caution, drive them away, or deliver retribution."
Lu Qing thought back to an incident in his home world, where pushing the Void Flying Boat to its extreme speed triggered a peculiar alert from the realm's laws.
Without doubt, that had been the Heavenly Dao's admonition.
"To circle back, the reason numerous powerhouses surpassing the Unity Realm Stage set up bases amid the stars? It stems from a core Heavenly Dao edict.
For all vital domains essentially bar entry to entities exceeding the Unity Realm."
"Entities beyond the Unity Realm can't step into vital domains?" Lu Qing reacted with shock.
"Exactly so—the might surpassing the Unity Realm is forbidden within vital domains.
The potency at the Unity Realm Stage proves overwhelmingly intense; it harnesses the Power of the Great Path.
Beings of such caliber risk unleashing havoc upon vital domains.
Hence, the Heavenly Dao of nearly every vital domain naturally bars those exceeding the Unity Realm from crossing into them.
Furthermore, should power beyond the Unity Realm manifest, the Heavenly Dao swiftly notices, meting out penalties or outright banishing it.
Owing to these constraints, Unity Realm Stage individuals seldom dwell long in vital domains.
Should a matter demand their presence, they project only a Divine Split, curbing their strength beneath the Unity Realm to evade ejection.
Does this clarify why those beyond the Unity Realm prefer basing their operations in the starry void?"
"Now I get it—many thanks for your insight, elder." Lu Qing grasped the concept at last, though fresh uncertainty soon arose. "Old Cyan Dragon, suppose someone provoked a Unity Realm Stage powerhouse and simply ducked into a vital domain—wouldn't they be out of harm's way?"
