Zhou Heng and the Black Donkey were back on the road.
The biggest benefit of the Black Donkey advancing to the Black Cave Realm was that it could use the Teleportation Rune for a longer ti, and the distance of each teleport was significantly increased. Although it still couldn’t compare with Hongyue, it was twice the distance compared to before.
Originally, it would take them about three months to reach the area of the first black hole, but now, a month and a half was enough.
Luck, however, did not favor them; this black hole was incredibly stable!
They both now had their own black holes and could completely compare them with this black hole. Their black holes had just ford, vibrant and energetic, with the swirling speed steadily increasing, while this black hole was approaching stability, evidently reaching a stage of Great Achievent.
Black holes form after the death of massive celestial bodies; you need sothing large to form a black hole instead of a Star Core. But in any case, the Star Core is the final destination of all black holes; it just takes more ti.
And during the black hole phase, such supermassive bodies devour endless energy and matter, and the Star Core ford in the end is of the highest grade!
Without a Chaos Realm Star Core, breaking through to the Chaos Realm is extrely difficult. While human Nine Caves Experts are rare, there are no shortages of Nine Caves among the Divine Beasts, yet those who truly advance to the Chaos Realm are still countable on one hand!
At this stage, one can only rely on their own understanding.
Zhou Heng’s thoughts were racing, but he said, "Donkey, we went to the wrong place!"
"It must be the bad luck you were born with, naturally jinxed, polluting my Auspicious Ons of Heaven and Earth, otherwise how could it affect my judgnt?" The Black Donkey sneered at Zhou Heng.
The choice of this first location was the Black Donkey’s decision, and Zhou Heng didn’t mind because all three directions were unknown to him.
He couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Your na is Black Donkey, you can already tell it’s no good, so if there’s any bad luck, it’s yours!"
"Bah, how dare you insult the Auspicious Ons of Heaven and Earth, be careful of a divine lightning bolt coming down and taking your little life!"
"Donkey, your mouth is really annoying!"
As they bickered, they began their journey again. Now there were only two places left, and after a ga of rock-paper-scissors, Zhou Heng won because the Black Donkey only had hooves, couldn’t throw fists, paper, or scissors, and was ruled to have cheated and lost.
"Damn Zhou, how dare you trick your Donkey Master!" The Black Donkey grumbled as they set off.
"Nonsense, last ti you even asked to imitate donkey braying, weren’t you being a jerk and an?" Zhou Heng also got quite annoyed.
"What’s wrong with imitating donkey braying? It’s so high-class!"
Through their journey, the second direction they chose was a bit closer, but still required a month of travel. Yet when they arrived, they discovered a surprising number of star ships in the area!
This indicated... they ca to the right place! But since so many star ships were already there, it also ant that many were interested in this soon-to-die black hole!
They truly hadn’t expected this!
Zhou Heng initially thought only the Nine Infants happened to receive the news, but he didn’t expect that there would be so many well-inford people!
Indeed, aside from the arrogant Dragon Clan, other forces generally paid attention to the outside developnts, and given that a black hole level Star Core was so tempting, Zhou Heng wouldn’t be surprised if even the Old Azure Dragon decided to act.
Because Long Shasha was about to reach Great Perfection in the Cot Realm, a black hole level Star Core could not only provide the necessary spiritual power accumulation but also so needed understanding.
But considering the Dragon Clan’s usually closed-off nature, they probably wouldn’t send anyone!
Sweeping his gaze, Zhou Heng noticed a particularly large star ship with a massive flag hoisted at the bow, emblazoned with the characters "Fortune and Treasure."
How bizarre!
The other star ships all carried flags representing their own forces, like if Da Qin Country ca, the flag would definitely say "Qin," and Tai Xu lineage would naturally be "Tai Xu."
But Fortune and Treasure, that’s just too money-minded, right?
"Let’s go check it out!"
The Black Donkey’s eyes glistened. Now that its Teleportation Rune reached Great Achievent, it wasn’t afraid even against Chaos Realm experts, naturally emboldening its daring spirit to grow ever larger.
Zhou Heng nodded, if even the Black Donkey wasn’t afraid, what did he have to fear?
The two flew swiftly towards the star ship; in the Star Sea, without gravity, they moved fast even without using the Teleportation Rune.
As they approached the star ship, they deliberately slowed down to avoid being mistaken for enemies by the ship’s crew, who might open fire on them — star ships were surely equipped with heavy weapons to fend off Star Sea pirates.
But this star ship wasn’t equipped with any weapons!
This left only two possibilities: either the people in charge of this starship were imnsely powerful, deterring any challengers, or the power this star ship represented was equally formidable, such as the four Divine Beasts or the Five Great Saints, and no Star Sea pirate would dare provoke them.
"This young lord, would you like to eat or stay, or of course, if you want to shop, our store offers everything!" As they slowly landed on the deck, a middle-aged man, clearly a servant, quickly ran to welco them.
It really is "prosperity brings wealth", Zhou Heng’s mouth twitched as he said, "Isn’t this the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?"
"Esteed guest, our ’Extre Path Pavilion’ can’t be compared to so third-rate shop like the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion!" The middle-aged man initially showed disdain, but imdiately put on a broad smile, "Co in and have a look, we have the best facilities in the world, you’ll definitely want to co back after the first visit. Consider this your own ho!"
Zhou Heng nodded. Since so many people had gathered and they were all obviously waiting, it seed there would still be so ti before the Star Core ford. Why not find a place to settle? Why make oneself suffer?
The middle-aged man was filled with joy and hurriedly welcod Zhou Heng onto the ship.
In fact, Extre Path Pavilion was no different from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion; they were both business forces. However, compared to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Extre Path Pavilion had a much longer history! Just existing for so long was a testant to the strength of Extre Path Pavilion.
When he arrived at the front desk to handle the lodging procedures, Zhou Heng glanced at the prices and couldn’t help but click his tongue.
One month of stay costs a Spiritual dicine! A year, an Immortal Elixir!
Such a rip-off! Why not just rob people instead!
Zhou Heng patted himself down; he had thrown all his herbs into the Fire Divine Furnace for Alchemy, leaving none behind!
Seeing Zhou Heng’s expression, the well-experienced middle-aged man imdiately understood the situation and said, "Esteed guest, is there an issue? No problem, our shop allows credit, but you’ll need to leave a treasure as collateral!"
Zhou Heng couldn’t help but laugh, "Will this donkey do?"
"Bah, I am an Auspicious On of Heaven and Earth, Zhou, if you dare insult again, Donkey Master will be irreconcilable with you!" The Black Donkey imdiately bit towards Zhou Heng’s backside.
"Hmph, two paupers, get out if you can’t pay!" Just then, a young man in green robes walked over, casting a disdainful glance over Zhou Heng and the Black Donkey, his face full of contempt.
"Where’s this idiot spouting nonsense, doesn’t he know it pollutes the environnt?" The Black Donkey imdiately cursed.
Spouting, spouting nonsense?
The young man in green instantly flew into a rage. How could this demon beast have such a sharp tongue! Wasn’t he speaking the truth? If you can’t afford it, then get out. Why hang around, expecting charity?
"Co out, I want to duel with you!" He pointed to the Black Donkey.
"Bah, would I just fight because you say so? How shaless. No duel!" The Black Donkey sneered.
"Bastard, you call yourself a Black Cave expert yet behave like a rogue!" The young man in green accused.
"Hey, hey, hey, I warn you, Donkey Master is an Auspicious On of Heaven and Earth. Insulting will bring divine punishnt!" The Black Donkey earnestly declared.
The young man in green trembled with rage, but Extre Path Pavilion was a very powerful force, having deep connections with the Four Divine Beasts and the Five Great Saints. Here, it’s strictly forbidden to have any conflict on the ship; once outside, there’s no restraint!
Such a force has enough clout to make others abide by their rules!
"If you dare to co out, I’ll beat you to death!" The young man in green could only say this.
"Bah, do you think I’m easily scared? If you’re not convinced, co and bite Donkey Master!" The Black Donkey turned around, shaking its backside at the young man in green, its gaudiness off the charts!
Endure! I must endure!
Seeing the Black Donkey’s antics, the young man in green almost lost his composure. However, if he acted, he would definitely be kicked out by the Extre Path Pavilion, and rules are rules, no one can break them!
Unless he was one of the Five Great Saints or an Old Ancestor of the Four Divine Beasts!
Obviously, the young man in green was far from that!
"Guest, have you made up your mind?" The middle-aged man spoke very politely; even if the business didn’t work out, understanding is crucial. Besides, Zhou Heng and the Black Donkey were both Black Cave experts; as a re Milky Way Realm host, he didn’t dare nor need to offend them.
"Donkey, you must have hoarded many good things, you pay the bill!" Zhou Heng turned to the Black Donkey.
"Bah, I have no money!" The Black Donkey quickly shook its head, clinging fiercely to its Space Artifact with its hooves.
"Hahaha, two paupers!" The young man in green mocked on the side, the only thing he could do.
"Are so people mad dogs, barking at everyone? Truly strange!" The Black Donkey mused to itself, ignoring the young man in green.
"Who are you calling a mad dog?" The young man in green pointed and shouted.
"Whoever responds is the mad dog, don’t even know this, truly not just a mad dog, but a stupid dog!" The Black Donkey sighed, spreading its hooves in resignation, but quickly covering itself as it noticed Zhou Heng’s greedy eyes, fixated on its Space Artifact.
"Wait till I get you!" The young man in green furiously threatened. He vowed that as soon as the Black Donkey stepped out of the Extre Path Pavilion’s range, he would thoroughly punish this contemptible donkey!
"Huh?" An exclamation of surprise rang out as five young n and won approached from the front. The leader was an enchanting, exceptionally beautiful woman, surrounded by streams of fla runes that instantly drew everyone’s attention, completely overshadowing the four behind her.
Zhou Heng was startled, as it turned out to be an acquaintance—Xuan Fengwu! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it at qidian, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.)
