I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? Chapter 1177: Extraordinary Tales of the Great Wilderness Universe_5

The Great Wilderness had undergone a total transformation. The legendary figures who once battled for its fate had vanished from the world, becoming the revered ancestors of diverse ancient lineages.

These supreme beings were now focused on comprehending the Heavenly Dao, aiding it in the continuous expansion of the void and the further refinement of the Great Wilderness Universe.

"Senior Brother, which direction are you traveling?"

Meng Chong inquired, his gaze fixed upon his senior brother.

"I shall head this way."

Xu Yan replied with a grin, looking toward the horizon.

"In that case, I will take the left side."

Meng Chong gestured toward his left.

"Go then; we shall reunite upon the grand path. The void is limitless, so any path we choose will suffice. Perhaps one day, we can arrange a gathering back in the Great Wilderness to share stories of the past!"

With a loud laugh, Xu Yan moved forward, his form vanishing into the empty void.

"Let us depart, junior sister, junior brothers. We can all meet on the grand path when the opportunity arises."

Meng Chong also chuckled before stepping into the void.

Su Lingxiu, Fang Hao, Jiang Buping, and Zhao Taiping followed suit, entering the void one after another. Taicang and the others watched them fade away, let out collective sighs of admiration.

To traverse the void and seek its boundaries was a feat only the Daoist Ancestor, Xu Yan, and his five brothers could accomplish. Those who wished to explore the emptiness could only follow the expansion of the Heavenly Dao.

Nevertheless, they were satisfied. Although their progress was slower and lacked the free-spirited nature of Xu Yan and his peers, they could at least journey alongside the Heavenly Dao.

"Wait for me! I am coming too!"

All of a sudden, a plump red cat came sprinting out, plunging directly into the void. The onlookers were stunned; was this not the Great Demon King?

It was the founding ancestor of the Demon Clan and the Daoist Ancestor’s own pet, the Red Cat.

"Is it possible that even the Red Cat has comprehended the path?"

Tian Zi was filled with total shock.

"It was raised by the Daoist Ancestor, after all. It is not so shocking if it can walk the path," Taicang said with a chuckle.

The flow of time became impossible to measure. The immense Great Wilderness Universe, containing infinite Star Domains, countless stars, and a multitude of races, was a stage where geniuses fought to dominate the starry sky. Their ultimate goal was to reach the fabled Great Wilderness Ancestral Land.

A massive galaxy, seemingly timeless, could be wiped out in the heat of battle. Compared to the cosmos, a planet was but a speck of dust, and the inhabitants of those worlds were even smaller.

Looking up at the stars sparked the fire of ambition in many young prodigies, who vowed to leave their home worlds and explore the vastness of space.

For certain elites, the journey started at birth, as they utilized Teleportation Formations across Star Domains or traveled on Flying Boats between domains.

Geniuses rose and fell, yet only a handful could successfully travel from distant Star Domains to the legendary Great Wilderness Ancestral Land. Throughout the endless eons, such individuals were incredibly rare.

Only when they arrived at the Great Wilderness did they understand the meaning of a true peerless prodigy or a talent that appears once in eternity. In the Great Wilderness, such labels were common and hardly worth mentioning.

However, if they ever departed the Great Wilderness to return to their original Star Domains, they would be the supreme cultivators of their lands, becoming local legends.

On a minor star within a Small Star Domain, a dynasty that had ruled for ten millennia was falling into ruin. In a secluded village of that dying empire, a ragged old man watched little children training in martial arts, a happy smile on his face.

These youngsters were the offspring of loyal ministers from the fallen dynasty, their hearts filled with lofty goals. The old man, having nothing better to do, occasionally gave them pointers while enjoying his role as a hidden sage.

Neither the Little Star Domain nor this tiny planet was enough to truly interest him.

As night fell, the sky became a dazzling display of densely packed stars. A river of stars stretched across the firmament, resembling a Longsword glowing with a soft, celestial light.

"Little Jie, do you see that star river? If your heart is set on being a Sword Cultivator, you must meditate upon it. If you gain any insight, the path of the Sword Dao will lie open before you."

The old man patted the young boy’s head, pointing toward the celestial river.

"Yes, I will remember!" the boy replied with a serious nod.

The old man looked back at the sky; it was rumored that the star river was formed from the sword of the Sword God, Xu Yan. Any Sword Cultivator in the Great Wilderness Universe had the chance to grasp the ultimate Sword Dao from it.

Elsewhere in the night sky, a star that blazed like a sun was said to be the sword of the strongest Heavenly God. From that star, one could learn the peak of body-refining Martial Arts or the absolute dominance of the blade.

A green star was rumored to be the manifestation of a pill from the Alchemical Medical Fairy. Meditating on it offered the chance to learn Alchemy Techniques or even granted miraculous healing; those on the brink of death could recover instantly through its profound insights.

There were other markers as well: a star river shaped like a spear, a five-star alignment, and a star burning with war spirit. All were legacies left by legendary supreme beings for the inhabitants of the Great Wilderness Universe, serving as opportunities for those with the right destiny.

Only by reaching the Great Wilderness could one grasp their own insignificance, realizing that the "unparalleled geniuses" of the stars were like ants compared to the true legends.

Suddenly, the old man noticed a thread of Sword Intent manifesting from the boy. He couldn't help but smile. He had once traveled the stars with great fame, only to realize his own smallness upon reaching the Great Wilderness. Fortunately, he had received guidance from true masters, allowing him to return home and focus on his own quiet Cultivation.

Within a small mountain village in the Great Wilderness, near a few modest wooden cabins, a young man sat relaxed in a chair beneath a large tree.

A breathtakingly beautiful woman stood by his side, attending to his needs. In the courtyard, an elderly man swept the floor, the entire scene radiating a peace untouched by the world.

"Master!"

An excited voice shouted from outside as a youth entered and bowed respectfully.

"So, have you finally adopted the attitude of a great sage? Are you looking for a place to hide away?"

Li Xuan smiled as he observed Xu Yan.

"Hehe, Master, I have gained new realizations. I think I finally understand the mindset and the peace of seclusion that you enjoyed in the past."

Xu Yan scratched his head with a grin, looking around the courtyard and the village. This was the very place where he had first encountered his master.
