Everyone was eager to return home, and the old tortoise led the way.
The vast universe is full of stars, and the unicorn car is speeding behind the old turtle.
One star field after another flew past him. The old turtle was indeed quite capable. He used his unicorn car to specifically cross the space gaps between star fields, thus saving most of the time on the road.
Two months later, a huge star gate consisting of hundreds of planets appeared in front of them.
Under the star gate, a vortex as gorgeous as a nebula slowly rotates, swallowing up passers-by from time to time.
And in front of this star gate, the void would be torn apart from time to time, and people would walk out of it.
"After passing this star gate, you will reach the dock of the Void River." The old turtle stopped and turned to Lai Siyu and others.
Mu Lingxiao nodded to it, and the old turtle led the unicorn car towards the star gate.
The moment they entered the star gate, Lai Siyu and others felt a flash before their eyes, as if they were in chaos. They were clearly traveling through the void, but there was no tearing force like that of the teleportation array.
In a blink of an eye, they had passed through the star gate, and outside the star gate was a broad river with various ferries parked on both sides of the river.
Wharf Hill is bustling with people. Not far from the wharf, streets are connected to each other, with various shops and crowds of people.
"The dock is the distribution center for supplies from all the nearby star regions. As long as you have immortal crystals, you can buy anything here, even things from the divine realm.
Moreover, among the monks coming and going, there are also people from the divine realm."
Daxue and the others had long been attracted by the bustling pier. This place was unlike the Celestial Realm, where all kinds of people lived. There were also many people like them who were transformed from ferocious beasts.
"Then let's stay for two days before leaving." Lai Siyu said. They were about to return to the spiritual world. If they could buy something special here, they could bring it to Mengqin and the others as gifts.
The old turtle said that the Void River was very dangerous, but judging from the situation at the dock, that was not the case. People didn't seem to be afraid of the river. People kept jumping into the river and people kept emerging from the river.
Along the riverbank, two rows of stilt houses, draped with red lanterns, stood on the upper floors, and women, in groups of three or five, waved silk handkerchiefs at the incoming passenger ships. The sound of sweet laughter and unbridled sexual activity was no different from the banks of the Qinhuai River in the ancient times of the Celestial Empire.
"Didn't you say that this Void River is very dangerous? Why doesn't it look like that at all to me?" Lai Siyu asked doubtfully, and the others also looked at the old turtle as if seeking advice.
“Haha, the Void River is indeed very dangerous, but there are also relatively flat and safe places. These places will be developed into docks, and star gates will be built nearby to facilitate the travel of people from all walks of life.
The spiritual world and the fairy world you mentioned are relatively remote and barren places in this universe, so it is understandable that they do not know the existence of the Void River.
The Void River is rich in Void Beasts, which usually feed on space fragments. The space occupied by an adult Void Beast is equivalent to that of a medium-sized planet. Moreover, to capture these Void Beasts, you only need to make them recognize you as your master, and then you can possess the space inside their bodies. This is much more practical and useful than refined storage bracelets and small portable spaces.
And those people you saw jumping into the river were all trying their luck to catch the Void Beast."
"I see. I didn't expect there were creatures like the Void Beast. Wouldn't they be very expensive? Are they easy to catch?"
"Of course, they're hard to catch, and the price is ridiculously high. It's more like luring them with space debris than catching them. In the past, few people caught Void Beasts. All you had to do was use a fishing rod, like fishing, attach a space fragment to the hook, throw it into the river, and wait for the Void Beast to come.
However, more and more people started fishing for Void Beasts, leaving them with nothing left to catch. Consequently, the monks could only dive to the bottom of the river, near the turbulent current, to trap Void Beasts.
But even so, there aren't many adult animals that can be caught."
"Old turtle, you haven't been here for at least two million years, how come you know all these things so clearly?"
The old turtle glanced at Lai Siyu, then tilted his head towards a certain part of the pier and said, "There are many of my descendants here."
Lai Siyu looked in the direction he was looking, and sure enough, there was a row of little turtles squatting on a certain section of the dock.
"We turtles, born in this river, are extremely familiar with it. Therefore, any turtles that have reached a certain level of cultivation after reaching adulthood will come out to set up shop and earn immortal crystals. At their age, running short distances, such as the distance between star gates, is no problem."
I see!
After listening to the old turtle's introduction, Lai Siyu put away the unicorn car. For convenience, the old turtle simply transformed into a human form and led them.
However, his appearance after transforming into a human form is very similar to the Prime Minister Turtle in the Dragon Palace in "Journey to the West".
The man did become a human, but the turtle shell hung on his body like armor.
There are quite a few inns on the streets on both sides of the pier, but Lai Siyu came out with a gloomy face after entering several of them.
"Why the hell don't they just rob it? It's so expensive! Are their inns made of divine stone?" No wonder Lai Siyu was angry. She'd visited several inns, but even the most basic room cost a thousand high-grade immortal crystals. Stargate Wharf, on the other hand, was a wharf and neighborhood built with a huge investment from its owner. Rent was already high, so how could any inn here be cheap?
Mu Lingxiao found the most luxurious-looking inn, walked in, and said to the female cultivator who came out to greet him, "I want two upper rooms and two guest rooms."
Lai Siyu knew the inn would be very expensive when she saw how luxuriously decorated it was, but since Mu Lingxiao had already come in, she had no choice but to follow him in. "This place is so expensive, and you ordered a room directly! And even went upstairs!"
Mu Lingxiao smiled and said in a voice transmission: "You little money-grubber, why do you have to put yourself in a difficult position when you go out? Besides, do you need immortal crystals?"
The entire Tianhuang was taken into her small universe, and there were still many fairy crystal mines in Tianhuang.
Moreover, Youfu's financial resources are quite rich, and his stupid woman is now a local rich man!
"You are a man, but you still want to use a woman's money!" Lai Siyu said dissatisfiedly. She was the one who spent the money when they went out, and Mu Lingxiao was really talking without any worries.
"I am all yours. If I don't use yours, whose will I use?"
"Humph, I didn't expect that you, the mighty God of the Underworld, could be so shameless!"
"I've already given you my face! You know I'm the God of the Underworld. I've already given myself to you, so why don't you treat me better?"
