In the vast and boundless starry sky, stars are strung together like a bracelet, rotating at a fixed frequency.

If you count carefully, there are 2,472 stars, with balanced magnitudes, and they all emit energy in a certain direction at the same time.

After traveling half the distance of the galaxy, the energy finally reaches the disk area filled with white smoke.

Those are not nebulae, but condensed forms formed by super-rich energy, which appear a bit sticky.

In the super-energy smoke, human figures occasionally come in and out, often with white tail flames on their bodies, forming long loops and dissipating soon after.

This place has a name, called the Locking Star Pool. It is a place for the elders to retreat and is also the residence of the Elders' Council, the most powerful organization in the Twinkling Microcosm.

The area around the Star Locking Pool is not empty, but there are a large number of suspended standard continental platforms, on which there are either magnificent building complexes, or densely packed spaceships and warships of various types, or the headquarters of some special institutions.

These platforms are not fixed and will rotate irregularly around the Star Locking Pool.

If you extend your vision further outward, you can see a large number of life-bearing stars in different orbits, rotating around the entire previous system.

Although the distance is far enough, more than two thousand stars still provide enough energy for the ascetic-like extraordinary people on the planet.

The planets extend outward layer by layer, with clear barriers between each layer, dividing the high and low.

Further out is the ordinary starry sky, but occasionally you can see a few star ports, which are mainly commercial.

Among them is the largest star port cluster, which is the gate to this place and an area that all travelers must pass through.

At this time, on the main platform, a large group of extraordinary guards in black robes stopped Ji Xuan and others.

"You can't go in without the permission of the Elders Council."

Ji Xuan felt inexplicably sad.

He, the so-called young master of the Ji family, actually needed others to grant him the qualifications to enter.

He had argued for a long time and asked the security officer on the scene to report it, but there was no result in sight.

He was distracted, and Ji Ya whispered to him, "Could it be that someone here has been invaded by dark energy and is deliberately trying to stop us?"

Ji Xuan's face changed drastically: "Ji Ru is not as fast as us, so he used this move on purpose."

After saying this, Ji Xuan became furious and shouted at the heavily armed crowd in front of him: "This matter concerns the survival of the Ji family. As the young master of the Ji family, I order you to open the passage, otherwise I will kill you without mercy!"

The more than 2,000 members of the Ji family behind him burst out with terrifying energy, which made it almost impossible for the guards to breathe.

"Gentlemen, this is an order from above. I cannot disobey. Please..."

Ji Xuan roared: "Kill!"

Ji Ba was the first to rush out. His Star-Swallowing Aura alone was enough to make the guards collapse. Only the strongest of them had the strength to cross the stars, otherwise they would not have become guards.

"Gentlemen, please spare me and open the door immediately. But if the Elders Council pursues the matter, please help resolve it."

The captain of the guard immediately gave the order to open the door.

Soon after, a scarlet vortex opened in the center of the many suspended platforms, with dense arcs flashing inside.

Ji Xuan led his men forward and finally entered the core area after a brief spatial change.

Looking ahead, countless planets are scattered around, and extraordinary people come in and out from time to time. Almost everyone has a cold face and does not interact with people around them.

Ji Ba was surprised and said, "I heard that this place was eerie and scary before, but it turns out it wasn't nonsense."

"Everyone here is our senior. Stop talking nonsense and keep moving forward."

Sometimes he would encounter obstacles or be questioned by guards on the way, and Ji Xuan would deal with them in the same way. Although it would take a lot of time, at least the journey would be smooth.

After half an hour, the group hurriedly arrived at the Star Locking Pool, but it was just a platform on the outside.

"What is it?"

An elder suddenly appeared, his face was old and his expression was as lifeless as a dead person.

This is the case with people who have practiced asceticism for a long time. They have forgotten all emotions and desires. The only difference between them and stones is that they can think.

Ji Xuan replied respectfully, "I am Ji Xuan, and I would like to see you elders. I have a very important matter related to the Dark Universe."

There was a rare expression on the elder's face, one of surprise.

"So it's you, Young Master. I just heard that the journey wasn't easy. Why? Wasn't there any advance notice?"

Ji Xuan said: "These are not important. Please take me to the Locking Star Pool. Something big has happened in the ancestral land. All the elders must be notified."

The elder nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he opened a passage leading to the Star Locking Pool.

This is why Ji Xuan didn't dare to rush in.

No one knows where the space barrier is, and even if they knew, they couldn't determine its location because it changes all the time.

Only elders of a certain level are aware of these changes.

"Come on, let's go in."

After passing through the passage, everyone found themselves in the Star-Locking Pool, which was also surrounded by white smoke.

There is a square platform in front, 70,000 meters high.

There was a long table on the stage, and at this moment, figures were shooting out like beams of light and landing in various positions.

After sitting down, they all looked in the direction of Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan held his head high and looked up at them. There were some familiar faces among them.

Ji Ya and others in the back felt like they were on edge. From their perspective, the elders were hidden in the clouds and mist, and their faces could not be seen clearly. The oppressive feeling was extremely strong.

After waiting for half a minute, seeing that the main person had not arrived yet, Ji Xuan could not wait any longer and immediately said: "Darkness has invaded the ancestral land, the ancestors have been desecrated, and countless people have died. Everyone, the Ji family is in imminent danger."

There were fluctuations on both sides of the long table. The elders were discussing in low voices, but Ji Xuan couldn't hear what they were saying.
