Stepping through the archway of Shangluo Daoist School felt like entering another world.

The world outside the gate was peaceful and serene, but the world within was bustling with activity.

Someone was calling the winds and summoning the rains, as thunder clouds swept across the sky, enveloping one Boundary Star after another within them.

Someone was treading on scrolls, which opened forward with their calligraphy and paintings vanishing as they extended infinitely.

Someone was practicing swordsmanship on the lake, while another person was forging with flames underground.

"Boom~" As everyone was engrossed in watching, a spire palace beside the gate suddenly rose from the ground, exuding an aura as it moved forward.

"Thump thump thump~" Then a giant with a burly figure rushed past, carrying a hill.

In the blink of an eye, the pavilions, towers, palaces, and peaks seemed to have come to life, brimming with vitality.

"A historical scroll capturing the former glory of Shangluo Academy," a Starry Historian commented, observing the scrolls flashing across the sky. "After endless ages, it remains intact here."

"The Book Puppet seems real, the scholars of Yueluo Ancient Country were truly remarkable," Du Qing exclaimed.

The rest could also discern some of the intricacies, and even a glimpse was enough to astonish them.

"Let's split up," suggested Du Qing and Peng Yuan. "Having passed the three tests and entered the gate of Dao, the risk should be minimal, and everyone can seek their own fortuity."

You Yitian and Fan Yu exchanged glances and nodded: "Alright, everyone act independently. If there's any danger, Fan Fairy can be contacted for help."

Fan Yu possessed a small divine power known as [Spirit Bridge]; this spell could link all team members.

Even if separated, they could communicate over long distances.

Of course, it's weaker than [Causality Communication]. Its range isn't as expansive, nor can it reach such distances.

Spirit Bridge generally connects within a local area, whereas Causality Communication can span galaxies.

"Spirit Bridge!"

Fan Yu formed seals with her hands, and behind her, fifty-two beams of white light congealed into a bridge, subsequently connecting everyone.

Zhao Xing did not resist the spell and soon felt a marvelous connection with Fan Yu, as though their minds were in harmony.

Then Fan Yu formed seals again.

During the second sealing, she specially constructed five bridges, intended respectively for You Yitian, Du Qing, Peng Yuan, and two doctors.

The first sealing allowed everyone to only contact her.

The second sealing enabled the aforementioned five people to have a two-way spirit bridge.

This meant that even if Fan Yu, due to unforeseen circumstances, was unable to assist, or bluntly put, if she died,

the others could still communicate and request assistance from You Yitian, the two scholars, and the two doctors.

"Fan Yu's Spirit Bridge divine skill is still somewhat weak. If it were a slightly higher-ranking small divine power, 'Spirit Temple,' it wouldn't be so troublesome."

Once Fan Yu finished her spell, everyone split up into teams of two or three to seek their opportunities.

You Yitian didn't act right away but asked Zhao Xing if he was interested in joining him.

Being with someone in the Great Divine Power Realm, the discoveries would certainly be better and safer.

However, Zhao Xing politely declined: "I've already benefited greatly and wouldn't dare trouble Mr. You any further."

Seeing this, You Yitian didn't insist: "If you encounter any danger, notify us immediately, and we will certainly come to your rescue."

"Thank you very much."

...

In Shixin 1204, I arrived at Shangluo Daoist School in search of fortuity, and that year, the first phase task on Hu Rui Continent was already completed.

Zhao Xing sent a clone to Hu Rui to claim the reward, and then reported his movements to Lei Yunde under Tian Ji King, before continuing with the second phase of a hundred-year garrison mission, justifiably staying in the Nanluo No.21 Star Land Group.

Also, in this year, the Giant Sun clone finally, along with Star Fire's members, exited the starry sky array of Yueluo Cemetery.

"Everyone, we have landed on Yanshan Star Land, and I declare Star Fire's mission is now completed," Bai Yang smiled. "Thank you all for your assistance on this journey."

Chen Xuan, Yue Girl, Yu Tianqing, Jing Yan, Blue Sea, Red Heart Fairy... Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Zhao Xing, whose clone had a precious treasure, felt unsafe staying inside the cemetery until now, when he could finally feel at ease.

"At last," Jing Yan sighed, "it took decades to return; reaching the core area was no easy feat."

"We circled around quite a ways; it wasn't easy," Zhao Xing also sighed.

They exited north of Yueluo Cemetery, and now the Yanshan Star Land fell under the influence of Heaven Leisure Ancient Country.

Here, there were contacts to meet them; Star Fire would return to Yuanhai Ancient Country from here, which would be quick, not even taking a month to reach Tiger Head Star Land.

After safely landing, Bai Yang, Chen Xuan, and Yue Girl began seeking their 'informants' to talk.

This was the stage for evaluating merits and granting rewards.

Jing Yan, Yu Tianqing, and Zhao Xing were together; Bai Yang, after landing, found a secret chamber to have a conversation with the three.

"Yu Tianqing," Bai Yang said, "you will receive citizenship of the Red Star Empire, and you are allowed to take five family members with you."

"If Star Fire assigns tasks in the future, and you accomplish meritorious deeds a few more times, there is great hope for you."

"Thank you, Captain Bai Yang," Yu Tianqing nodded. He felt he hadn't done much this time, so such a reward was quite good for him.

He had also awakened his innate Great Divine Power, which was a significant harvest this time.

Although he hadn't managed to settle the household registration issue with Pang Ze Dynasty all at once, at least there was hope now!

"Zhao Xing, your Great Zhou Dynasty at home can altogether move there for registration," Bai Yang said. "It has been approved above, but preparing the specific plan will take some time."
