The Kunpeng Nest is vast and boundless, with runes flashing, turning this place into a forbidden area. There are more than a dozen paths leading to the entrance, but they have all been occupied by the pioneers.
The alliances of those ancient sects, ancient sacred mountains, and various powerful races forbid non-alliance cultivators from approaching. Anyone who disobeys is slaughtered, resulting in rivers of blood that stain the sea red.
Cultivators from powerful families often wreak havoc among the younger generation, while many of the older generation perish.
Unfortunately, this place suppresses cultivation levels, prohibiting those who cannot exceed the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Of course, this is an excellent place for powerful young cultivators.
Cao Ya didn't rush to make a move, since the ancient nest hadn't been opened yet. He took Shi Hao and landed at a certain spot on the huge island reef, where some people had already landed.
That place stands alongside the magnificent Kunpeng Nest, and it has attracted the attention of some people.
There was a massive portal, its entire body blazing with light, as if connecting to the realm of the gods, from which a river of spiritual energy flowed, pouring into the vast ocean.
Cao Ya was shocked when he saw it.
"The spiritual energy was so concentrated that it formed a river after turning into liquid!" Shi Hao was also shocked.
There weren't many people at this location because most people were drawn to the Kunpeng Nest in front.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Shi Hao's expression changed.
From the dazzling golden gate, a river flowed out, and a black paper boat drifted out along the river.
"Sanren, I'll go pick that thing up," Shi Hao transmitted his voice.
Cao Ya knew what he was talking about and also saw the paper boat.
The black paper boat was small, about the size of an adult's palm, and very exquisite, unlike the ghost ships outside, which were eerie and enormous.
"Sanren, do you think that thing originated from this place and spread to the outside world? Is the source of the ghost ship the Kunpeng Nest?" Shi Hao guessed, suspecting that the ghost ship was destroyed by the ancient female Kunpeng.
Judging from the shape of the ghost ship and the delicate handwriting on its hull, the ghost ship was folded by a woman.
And according to Cao Ya, Kunpeng, one of the Ten Ancient Fiends, is also female, which makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
Cao Ya denied it telepathically:
"You guessed wrong. The source of the ghost ship is not in the Kunpeng Nest. Even the last generation of the Ten Fierce Kunpeng in the Primordial Era did not fold this paper boat."
This ghostly paper boat comes from a later era. It was probably sent by the Empress of the [Covering the Sky] era across infinite time and space to the Chaotic Ancient Era belonging to [Perfect World].
After the era of "Covering the Sky," a great upheaval will occur, the situation will become even more dangerous, and even the Immortal Emperor will perish.
However, that belonged to the era of the [Sacred Ruins].
In fact, in the most ancient era of [Perfect World], the Corpse Immortal Emperor attained enlightenment and was the first Immortal Emperor in this multiverse throughout history. However, the day he became emperor was also the day his Dao disappeared. A drop of black blood from the heavens severely injured and corrupted him, hence the sayings of Corpse Immortal Emperor and Dark Immortal Emperor. As for his real name and what his title was in ancient times, no one knows anymore.
Friends, relatives, and even enemies of the same era have all vanished into the long river of history.
The greatest calamity in the Perfect World, the Dark Turmoil, originated from the Corpse Immortal Emperor, or rather, the Dark Immortal Emperor.
With a single breath, the Corpse Immortal Emperor's influence spread to the vast multiverse, causing calamities to befall countless realms. The Corpse Immortal Emperor was ruthless and merciless, regarding the beings of countless realms as nothing, replacing their essence and diluting their black blood. This demonstrates the terrifying nature of the Corpse Immortal Emperor and the horror of that drop of black blood.
The heavens above were a place Cao Ya absolutely did not want to go.
Even if you were to go, you'd need at least six-star, or even seven-star, power.
Otherwise, what's the difference between that and courting death?
In the game "Perfect World", the seven-star level corresponds to the Immortal Emperor.
As Cao Ya's thoughts wandered, Shi Hao stealthily approached, a rune flashing in his palm as he intercepted the paper boat drifting downstream and brought it into his hand, immediately feeling a surge of vitality.
At the same time, his soul trembled, he felt dizzy, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"This is..." Shi Hao was shocked. A hand pressed on his shoulder to help him calm down.
"This thing is terrifying!" Shi Hao exclaimed in a voice transmission.
He calmed down, his mind became clear, and he was no longer affected.
Cao Ya took the paper boat and examined it from all angles. A glint of light seemed to appear in his eyes. The black paper boat looked brand new, as if it had just been folded not long ago. There was indeed a line of words on it, vivid and vibrant, flowing with iridescent light. It was a line of blood-written words, written in delicate handwriting.
"I'm all alone now!"
Cao Ya sighed softly, then handed the paper boat back to Shi Hao and transmitted her voice:
"Keep this safe, it's for you."
Shi Hao was stunned for a moment:
"What? They're looking for me?"
Shi Hao was completely baffled. What did this have to do with him? The hermit was probably just spouting nonsense!
He examined the paper boat closely. The blood was bright red and clear, and had not dried. However, he could clearly sense the power of time on the paper boat. If you felt it with your heart, you would be able to perceive it.
Shi Hao didn't find it strange, because according to ancient legends, the ghost ship had been lost since ancient times, and it was only natural that it would have an impact over such a long period of time.
But he just couldn't understand what the hermit meant by that.
Cao Ya smiled, patted Shi Hao's head, and transmitted his voice:
"Don't overthink it. You'll find out when the time is right. Put the things away. Right now, the most important thing isn't figuring out what this thing is, but how to get into the Kunpeng Ancient Nest."
Shi Hao looked completely bewildered and confused, feeling utterly baffled.
Seeing that Cao Ya didn't intend to elaborate, they had no choice but to give up and carefully preserved the ghost ship, storing it in their spatial storage device, the Qiankun Bag.
Cao Ya glanced at it and sighed inwardly. The future [Sacred Ruins] era, this universe is too difficult.
At the same time, he felt fortunate that he was in the earliest era, the [Perfect World] era, followed by the [Covering the Sky] era, and finally the [Sacred Ruins] era.
Of course, this era also has many calamities that could lead to the destruction of the world and the collapse of the universe.
However, it's still much better than the [Sacred Ruins] era.
Wait a minute, what if I've also transmigrated into [Covering the Sky] or [Sacred Ruins]...? Hiss... That would be terrible... Oh well, at least it's not me directly experiencing it... well, it's another me...
Cao Ya rubbed his forehead, trying to stop thinking about these tiring things.
Thinking about it is useless, since the strength is too low. In Cao Ya's opinion, there is no need to worry about this matter if you are below the six-star level.
Only those at the seventh level can truly intervene and devise a solution.
He was only at the peak of the two-star level, and his combat strength barely reached the initial level of the three-star level.
Seven-star level, that's the highest realm where time and space are ravaged and cause and effect are manipulated. In some universes, the upper limit isn't even that high.
Currently, among the universes connected by the system space, only three great universes have reached or exceeded the seven-star level: [Peerless One], [Perfect World], and [Primordial Era]. [Shepherd of the Gods] is six-star, [Global Martial Arts] and [Lord of Mysteries] are five-star, and the others are generally lower.
