Watching Cao Ya leave the star field near Huosang Star, the old Golden Crow's arrogance vanished, and he pondered to himself:
"This Daoist Cao Ya is extremely powerful. If I want to become an emperor, I must be able to defeat him! There is also the Divine Court Emperor, and that equally unfathomable old woodcutter!"
"Alas, there are many formidable enemies on the road to becoming an emperor. How can I attain enlightenment if I don't defeat them all?"
The old Golden Crow frowned, feeling that with his current strength, he was not at all confident of becoming an emperor.
"I need to put my discoveries on the Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star to use," the old Golden Crow thought to himself. He would have a Great Sage from his clan protect him to prevent him from being disturbed and interrupting his journey toward becoming an Emperor.
Leaving aside the old Golden Crow's thoughts, let's turn to Cao Ya. After leaving Fire Mulberry Star, he also whispered:
"That old golden crow is indeed formidable, even slightly more powerful than the Divine Court Emperor, and no less so than me."
"No wonder he will be able to attain enlightenment in the future; there is indeed a reason for it."
At this point, Cao Ya stroked his chin and chuckled softly:
"However, what does this have to do with me? Even if he becomes a Great Emperor, the old Golden Crow will only live for ten thousand years at most. Even if he finds the elixir of immortality, then he can live for another ten thousand years. After twenty thousand years, the old Golden Crow will die no matter what."
"In the universe of 【Covering the Sky】, those who have attained the Dao can no longer be sealed with divine sources."
"After Old Golden Crow dies, I'll still be young, and I can go clubbing at his grave."
"Well, let's just forget about it. Old Golden Crow and I aren't enemies, so there's no need to go too far."
Cao Ya traveled around the world with remarkable composure and a calm mindset.
There was no other way; with the help of the others, Cao Ya not only soared to the level of a top-tier cultivator, but also gained unlimited lifespan, enough to live for hundreds of millions of years.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all; he had plenty of time to cultivate and could slowly attain enlightenment.
The only thing that made him feel pressured was the dark turmoil hundreds of years later!
"If the path to immortality opens in tens of thousands of years..." Cao Ya sighed, feeling that he still needed to cultivate diligently and improve his cultivation level.
Many years later, his cultivation level had risen to the ninth minor stage of the Six Great Saints of Immortal Realm, just one step away from the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
By this time, Cao Ya was also tired and decided to find an ancient star of life to cultivate diligently in order to become a quasi-emperor.
Because he had long since left Beidou, he was too lazy to go back.
In fact, during his years of traveling around the world, he had heard of the names of Ye Fan, the Holy Prince, the Black Emperor, Duan De, and others.
"They've all made a name for themselves, hailed as young prodigies, heroes on the road to the Emperor!" Cao Ya sighed softly as he arrived at a special ancient star inhabited by life.
Around that ancient star of life were nine moons, constantly rotating, appearing very sacred and possessing a unique charm.
"Flying Immortal Star!"
Cao Ya knew that this was an ancient planet, sealed with great terror. In the ancient mythological era, it was a forbidden zone for life, and ordinary people dared not go there.
After observing for a while, Cao Ya still entered the Flying Immortal Ancient Star.
This place is special, just like the Big Dipper, it is also a node on the path to immortality calculated by many powerful figures of the imperial path.
In fact, as far as Cao Ya knew, the path to immortality on Feixian Star was indeed more correct than that on Beidou Star.
However, the Beidou Immortal Ascension Path has too great an impact. Many powerful figures of the Imperial Path look forward to it, and countless supreme beings of forbidden zones are waiting for the day when the Beidou Immortal Ascension Path opens.
On the contrary, there are hardly any aspiring immortals waiting on the path to immortality on Flying Immortal Star.
"Yin and Yang are opposites, Flying Immortal and the Big Dipper, one is a forbidden zone of an ancient era, and the other is a forbidden zone of this era. They have a very mysterious connection." Cao Ya murmured as he wandered around the ancient star of Flying Immortal.
Here, he saw many ancient tribes, as well as some Taoist and Buddhist temples, which were built by the Qi cultivators of the ancient planet Earth during the pre-Qin period.
Many powerful figures from the ancient planet Earth came to the ancient planet Feixian and lived in seclusion there.
Only a very small number of people go to Beidou.
Even if they reached the Big Dipper, like Shakyamuni and Laozi, they were merely passing through and soon set off again for other ancient stars.
On a small hill outside a Taoist temple, Cao Ya met an old Taoist priest.
"This humble Taoist priest, Ge Xuan, greets Taoist Cao Ya." The old Taoist priest bowed.
Cao Ya returned the greeting and began to converse with this quasi-emperor-level powerhouse from ancient China.
Ge Xuan is a Quasi-Emperor at the sixth level, and his cultivation is not weak. He is only three minor realms away from becoming a Daoist.
“Daoist Cao Ya, I have heard of your reputation. You once defeated the Emperor of the Divine Court and are hailed as the first strongman in the world with the potential to become an Emperor.” Ge Xuan stroked his beard and smiled.
The connection between Feixian Ancient Star and other inhabited planets in the universe has not been severed, and major events between star systems often reach Feixian Star.
As a quasi-emperor level expert, Ge Xuan naturally had his own channels.
"The sealed area at the center of Flying Immortal Star is the forbidden zone of the mythological era, isn't it?" Cao Ya asked.
“That’s right!” Ge Xuan nodded and said, “Although you are about to become a Daoist, you still cannot enter the forbidden area before you have proven your Dao, otherwise there will be great disaster.”
Cao Ya nodded.
He naturally understood this. No matter what era, anything that could become a forbidden zone for life was a life form capable of threatening the current emperor.
Otherwise, how dare we call it a forbidden zone for life?!
Even those who are about to attain enlightenment will face great calamity if they trespass into forbidden zones of life.
“Two ancient stars, two paths to immortality, and both have forbidden zones…” Cao Ya shook his head. There are connections between some ancient stars in the universe that even he cannot know for sure.
"Throughout history, countless powerful figures have gone mad and become completely corrupted in their pursuit of immortality. Even the once-powerful emperors who protected the common people have turned into despicable supreme beings of forbidden zones," Ge Xuan sighed.
This is why forbidden zones for life exist.
Regardless of the era or the planet where the forbidden zone is located, its existence is a threat to all living beings in the universe.
Even the Great Emperor couldn't solve the forbidden zone, let alone them!
Forcibly breaking in would only add life essence to the supreme being of the forbidden zone, helping him prolong his life.
Cao Ya and Ge Xuan would naturally not do such an unwise thing.
Furthermore, who doesn't yearn for life?
Finally, Cao Ya stopped on the ancient star of Feixian, occasionally discussing the Dao with Ge Xuan and other Qi cultivators from the pre-Qin period of ancient China, and occasionally going to the outside of the forbidden zone of the ancient star of Feixian to take a look.
Of course, most of the time, Cao Ya still cultivated diligently and finally broke through to the first level of Quasi-Emperor, and his strength increased slightly again.
During this time, he also entered the system space and encountered two newcomers. However, after sharing memories and power, Cao Ya of [Covering the Sky] sighed, because these two newcomers were not five-star beings either.
"Why are you sighing? When our combined strength is increased, we're almost at a five-star level," the two newcomers laughed.
[Covering the Sky] Cao Ya thought about it and immediately laughed.
These two newcomers are not weak either, both at the four-star level.
They come from the [Stellar Transformation] universe and the [Eternal Life Realm] universe, respectively!
