The Wu Chengzong clan was completely annihilated, and in private, the Li Family was rejoicing, celebrating with feasts.

Some senior members of the Li Imperial Family proposed trying to win over Long Fei to counter Empress Wu.

After all, the Five Route Imperial Guards of Chang’an City are all under Long Fei’s control now.

Suddenly, the usually quiet residence of Princess Taihua became lively.

Both the Li Family and the Wu Family tried to win her over.

She inexplicably received lots of valuable gifts at home.

Relatives who previously ignored her now left gifts and left, filling one of her courtyards.

She asked people to inform everyone that Long Fei had already left on the Immortal Path. If they had matters, they should find him there.

People didn’t stop; they kept sending her gifts, and even her third brother, Li Shiru, called her to the palace for questioning.

This matter dragged on for a month until people realized Long Fei had really left, and things slowly calmed down.

The Immortal Path is long, and the journey is a bloody one.

Top experts from various corners of the Cultivation World gathered on the final stretch of this Ancient Heavenly Court road.

Someone spread a rumor that Long Fei held the key to opening the Ancient Heavenly Court and distributed portraits.

Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya stepped onto the Immortal Path and were inexplicably besieged by various cultivators.

Later, they realized it was a deliberate setup against them.

The only ones who knew about this were Princess Taihua and that black-clad person.

Long Fei didn’t have to think twice; it was certainly related to that black-clad person.

After killing their way through, he and Wang Xiaoya became famous figures on this Immortal Path.

There were rumors that two killer gods appeared on the Immortal Path, drawing swords to kill at the slightest disagreement, known as the Malevolent Pair.

They reached the final battle, the Shattered Starfield.

In a city, they saw notices on the city wall, saying the City Lord ordered anyone who captured the Malevolent Pair to be rewarded billions of Spirit Stones and a piece of True Immortal Magic Treasure.

The Shattered Starfield, true to its name, was entirely within the orbital belt of the Ancient Heavenly Palace’s shattered continent.

This entire Star Domain had thousands of big and small celestial bodies.

Moreover, there were countless meteorite fragments between these celestial bodies, some as big as mountains, some as small as pebbles.

These fragments were immense, numbering in the billions upon billions.

They rotated around the central area of the Ancient Heavenly Palace like a vast ocean.

From space, this Star Domain looked like a giant, rotating necklace in the universe.

Due to the abundance of Spiritual Energy here, more than half of these meteorite fragments had developed life.

People here, as long as they didn’t fear death, could find all sorts of heavenly materials and treasures left by the Ancient Heavenly Court.

You might casually look at a nondescript black meteorite, and inside, there could be a True Immortal Sword.

This place was filled with Loose Cultivators, shops, and street stalls everywhere.

One could even randomly find a piece of True Immortal Magic Treasure at any roadside stall.

All of the millions of large celestial bodies had developed life and were similar to worlds in other Star Domains.

Due to the unique location of this place, despite being a Shattered Starfield, the abundant Spiritual Energy here nurtured Cultivation civilizations on these celestial bodies.

The only drawback was that this Star Domain was unstable.

Every day, meteorites of varying sizes collided and crashed due to gravitational pull.

Your cozy home might be smashed to bits overnight by a falling meteorite.

In such circumstances, many weaker civilizations chose to live underground.

Stronger civilizations built defensive perimeters around their worlds.

Thus, the ruling classes of this world did not pursue long-term development. Each force seized resources swiftly.

Some great forces worked hard for a century, only to be obliterated by celestial collisions.

Changes were frequent, and no sect had lasted over ten thousand years here.

This caused two distinct personalities among the people here: those who indulged, living for today, and those who were hurried, wishing to live today as tomorrow.

They spoke simply and quickly.

When Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya first arrived, they had to slow down their conversations to understand them.

While searching for Chu Feng, they also bought a large amount of herbs.

On the road stalls of this Star Domain, legendary precious herbs were as common as roadside weeds.

These spiritual species were all part of the Ancient Heavenly Court, scattered across the Shattered Starfield after this world broke.

Long Fei stood before the city gate of Goldmine City, feeling speechless at the portraits on the city’s wanted posters.

The rudimentary artwork depicted him as a malicious demon.

Wang Xiaoya looked like a demoness, too ugly to behold.

Beside him, she grumbled discontentedly, "What’s wrong with this City Lord? How could they draw me like this?"

Long Fei chuckled and led her into the city, saying, "Let’s go ask him."

This Goldmine City was built upon a gold mine.

The entire world wasn’t large, about three thousand meters in radius, similar to the Moon from Long Fei’s hometown.

Yet, the world was imbued with Golden Energy.

The entire planet was metallic, likely once an Ancient Heavenly Court gold mine.

Bald Dog and its companions had left marks; their last known location was here. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Due to the abundance of Golden Energy, this world had no vegetation.

The black terrain was exposed rock everywhere.

People living here were either cultivators, Metal People, or Mechanical People.

These inhabitants adapted to the local life, consuming golden juice from a young age to temper their bodies until they were like metal.

Regular people ate grains and cereals, but they consumed metal substances.

Some even replaced their bodies with mechanical parts, keeping only their heads.

This planet once developed an advanced technological civilization. The fragments of the outer metal defense wall evidenced this great ancient civilization.

Sadly, this civilization, like other worldly civilizations, perished in an apocalyptic meteor shower.

Currently, Today’s Mine City was the offspring of batches of immigrants from the Shattered Starfield.

They mined ores here, refining them into various magical treasures and selling them alongside ancient civilization warships and mechanical beings to Exotic Lands.

Here, Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya looked at the steel towers scattered everywhere, feeling a sense of homecoming.

Goldmine City consisted of two layers: below lay the slums, where miners lived and worked.

Above hovered a massive, suspended iron city, home to the city’s rulers.

Two worlds—one a shining paradise, the other a filthy hell.

Every day, a large amount of waste was dumped down from this floating city through special piping, creating a mountain of garbage in the city’s center below, with sewage flowing around and emitting a nauseating odor from afar.

Long Fei didn’t know what idea Bald Dog and its companions were up to in this city.

He watched for a long time, finding nothing of interest to him.
