Chapter 979: Purpose Of The Thousand Star City
The dinner lasted for about an hour, and Han Fei did give Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan some things, but they were all ordinary things. He wanted to give them some more valuable things but Old Bai stopped him.
In the words of Old Bai, no strong person could become strong solely with the help of others. If they needed resources, they could get them from the ocean themselves.
After dinner, in Old Bai’s room….
At this moment, Old Bai had put down layers of seals, and the four of Han Fei sat across from Old Bai.
They knew that they were going to the Thousand Star City, but they didn’t know why they were going there…
The Unknown Place was already very vast. If they wanted to practice, they could just go to the outer sea.
They could finish exploring all the areas under the jurisdiction of the Yin-Yang World as long as it took enough time. It didn’t seem necessary for them to run to the Thousand Star City.
Of course, Han Fei and the others had a rough idea of the reason, which was, Old Bai still wanted to rebuild the Thug Academy in the Thousand Star City. This was the only reason they could come up with.
At this moment.
Old Bai said leisurely, “You’re going to become Law Enforcers soon, right? But don’t make the breakthrough and become Law Enforcers in the Empyrean Waterfall.”
Han Fei was puzzled. “Huh? Why?”
Old Bai said lightly, “It won’t make much difference whether you do it there or not… Besides, if you make that breakthrough in the Empyrean Waterfall, it is easy for you to go astray and be affected by the laws there.”
Han Fei thought about the Deep-Sea Giant Demon underneath. Maybe that was the reason?
However, judging from Old Bai’s expression, he seemed to know the secret of the hole under the Old Turtle…
Han Fei asked, “President, you mean, we should make the breakthrough in the Thousand Star City?”
Old Bai nodded. “Xiaobai should know that in the Thousand Star City, there are several special places to do so.”
Everyone immediately turned their eyes to Luo Xiaobai. What special places? Did Old Bai want them to make the breakthrough there?
Luo Xiaobai nodded slightly. “The Three Sacred Sites of the Thousand Star City, the Monument of God, the Sky Meditation Garden, and the Ideal Palace. No one has ever explored these three places thoroughly. They have been sacred places since the Thousand Star City was founded.”
Han Fei and the other two looked at each other in confusion. What the hell were these places? Their names sounded so creepy… Would they be as dangerous as the Bone Yard?
Le Renkuang said, “Their names don’t sound like they belong to this era!”
Zhang Xuanyu nodded. “Monument of God? Who does it commemorate? A Sea God?”
Han Fei remained silent. Judging from the statue of the Sea God in the Sea Quelling Painting, there might be many Sea Gods. They were more like existing to compete for the power of human belief.
Luo Xiaobai said, “I don’t know. According to my grandfather’s grandfather, these three places have been known about since the beginning of the Thousand Star City. Besides, there is very little information about these places. Even the big clans don’t know much about them.”
Han Fei looked at Old Bai and said, “President, do you want us to make the breakthrough in these places?”
Old Bai nodded. “It doesn’t matter if you become Law Enforcers or not. Even if all four of you become Law Enforcers, you are just Law Enforcers. The Thousand Star City has an abundance of these…”
Hearing it, they all rolled their eyes. Come on, they were talking about becoming a Law Enforcer! At least it was better than a Hidden Fisher, right?
Old Bai said, “Let me put it this way! Some things may involve ancient times and the Age of Doom. I think you should know a little bit… About them.”
Han Fei nodded. “In the Age of Doom, stars fell, and the water of the sea swept across the mountains and land. This is what I knew when I was exploring some ruins.”
Old Bai looked at Han Fei and said slowly, “Do you know what they mean about the stars falling?”
The four shook their heads. They thought it was a meteor passing by. Otherwise, what did it mean?
Old Bai chuckled. “The Age of Doom. Why was there doom? Have you thought about the reason?”
The four still shook their heads. Who would know this?
Old Bai said leisurely, “I also learned about it occasionally by some coincidence. It’s said that before the Age of Doom, that age was called the Age of the Gods…”
“The Age of the Gods?”
The four of Han Fei exclaimed. Wow, the name was really domineering.
Han Fei was excited. Even in the Age of Doom, there were Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasures and the Snow God’s Temple. Then how glorious and splendid would the Age of the Gods have been?
Old Bai glanced at Han Fei. “The stars falling does not refer to the stars in the sky. It is very likely referring to the death of these gods.”
“Wow…”
The four all gasped.
Zhang Xuanyu asked, “Do the gods refer to kings?”
Old Bai shook his head slightly. “I don’t know. I am not from that era. However, you should know what happened after the Age of Doom: the Sea Clan rose. In the ocean, endless creatures are growing, squeezing the living space of human beings.”
Le Renkuang’s face trembled and he said, “But, what does this have to do with our going to the Thousand Star City?”
Old Bai sneered. “Do you know why the Thug Academy broke out in an all-out war with the big clans in the Thousand Star City more than 30 years ago?”
Han Fei was surprised. “Wasn’t it because of the Sea Quelling Painting?”
Old Bai sneered. “The Sea Quelling Painting has always been there, although it was part of the reason, but not that important. Do you know what was left behind after the death of the gods in the Age of Doom?”
Han Fei took a breath and said, “The Heavenly Palace?”
Old Bai was taken aback for a moment. “Huh? Is there some information about this in the Sea Quelling Painting?”
Han Fei smiled and said, “Do you forget where the Sea Quelling Painting originates from?”
Luo Xiaobai looked at Han Fei. “Where is the Heavenly Palace?”
Han Fei shrugged. “I don’t know. It should be above the Thousand Star City!”
“Haha!”
Old Bai sneered. “Nonsense, you know nothing about it at all. If the Heavenly Palace is just above the Thousand Star City, someone would have flown up already!”
Han Fei asked, “Then where?”
Old Bai narrowed his eyes and said, “If I’m not mistaken, it is an ancient mysterious place hidden in an independent space. The level of that place is much higher than the Thousand Star City.”
Han Fei knew this very well. The Heavenly Palace ruled the entire Thousand Star City and the thirty-six towns, but it should be empty now, except for some puppets guarding it, which were all Explorers!
Old Bai said, “So far, I know that three people have been to the Heavenly Palace.”
Luo Xiaobai asked in suspense, “Which three?”
Old Bai took a meaningful look at Han Fei. “Ren Tianfei who took the Sea Quelling Painting out of the palace, the previous marshal of the Scattered Stars Island who had lost control over himself, Han Guanshu… And, one of our Thug ancestors.”
Everyone immediately looked at Han Fei, then at Old Bai, and finally looked at Han Fei.
Han Fei was speechless. “I… Old Han told me nothing about it!”
Le Renkuang asked, “Who is Ren Tianfei?”
Old Bai said, “You don’t need to know who he is. You just need to know that after he came out of the Heavenly Palace, he was besieged by the big clans of the Thousand Star City, so he scurried off like a frightened rat, and almost died. It was the same case for Han Guanshu, Han Fei’s father. Even our Thug ancestor was the same… Do those big clans care about the Sea Quelling Painting? No, what they really care about is the Heavenly Palace.”
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. Shit, it seems that all three have something to do with me!
Old Bai said, “It seems that I want you to go to the Thousand Star City because I want you to rebuild the Thug Academy, but more importantly, I want you to find a way to enter the Heavenly Palace with the pretext of rebuilding the Academy. Why do I refuse to ally with the seven major sects? Because once we become allies, there won’t be any secrets among us.”
Luo Xiaobai frowned. “But even if we find a way to enter the Heavenly Palace, won’t we follow in the footsteps of those three seniors?”
Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang both nodded.
Even the Venerables couldn’t resist them, and their Thug Ancestor was even killed. Who could handle this? Now, they weren’t even Law Enforcers yet.
Old Bai smiled mysteriously. “No, because your strength is too weak, even if you find a way to enter the Heavenly Palace, you won’t be able to enter it. So you can keep this secret and wait for the chance to enter it in the future.”
Han Fei glanced at Old Bai. “President, why don’t you go find it?”
Old Bai rolled his eyes and said, “We? Do you think the big clans will let us? Do you really think they are stupid?”
Han Fei thought, But after all these years, they still failed to annihilate the Thug Academy, didn’t they?
Suddenly, Han Fei’s heart flipped. The Thug Academy must still have a trump card!
Yes, it must be so.
Old Bai took out a puppet back then.
Was that puppet a clone of the Thug ancestor or something? If this is the case, the Thug Academy should still have a trump card that no one knows about…
Otherwise, the big clans in the Thug Academy would have annihilated the Thug Academy long ago.
Sure enough, Old Bai said, “As long as the strongest ones of the Thug Academy don’t return to the Thousand Star City, the big clans won’t dare to act rashly. However, we also can’t go to the city to find a way to enter the Heavenly Palace.”
Han Fei asked, “Can we?”
Old Bai nodded. “You are special! Xiaobai is from the Luo Family. And your background is even more complicated. They dare not touch you or indulge you. With the Thug Academy and your dad in check and balance, your safety will be guaranteed.”
Zhang Xuanyu said, “What about Kuangkuang and I?”
Old Bai said leisurely, “You two are not important.”
Zhang Xuanyu: “…”
Le Renkuang: “…”
The two were speechless.
Not important? Once again, their young hearts suffered a blow that they should not have suffered at their age!
Old Bai said, “OK, you will be faced with a lot of difficulties in the Thousand Star City this time. But they won’t dare attack you openly… So, rest assured to rebuild the Thug Academy. Anyway, play it by ear in the Thousand Star City. You three can go now. Han Fei, wait a moment…”
