"There was indeed a cosmic barrier here before, but for some reason, it has vanished."
Ye Yunfei perceived with his Soul Power for a while, thinking to himself.
"Palace Master Ye, rest assured. People from the major forces have mostly arrived now. We should be able to enter soon," said the Headmaster to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright." Ye Yunfei nodded.
Approximately half an hour later.
"Everyone, we are now preparing to combine our strength to tear an opening through that layer of temporal energy ahead. Then, each faction's members can enter," an elder with white hair appeared in the starry void and declared loudly.
His voice was like rumbling thunder, spreading through this expanse of the starry sky, audible and clear to every being aboard each and every starship.
Immediately, everyone's spirits were lifted.
"Now, I ask the powerful experts from each force to step forward," the white-haired elder continued.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Figures emanating sharp auras walked out one after another from various starships. They were all esteemed experts from the major powers.
With the appearance of these experts, this region of starry space began to be filled with wave after wave of terrifying energy pressures.
"Everyone, that dense mist region ahead is essentially a powerful layer of temporal energy. By blasting through this layer, we can enter that Chaos Universe.
We have already pierced this temporal energy layer several times in succession previously, so it's not too difficult. Just follow my instructions," the white-haired elder said.
Then, under the white-haired elder's direction, the experts attacked simultaneously, unleashing thick beams of energy that tore through the sky, bombarding the region shrouded by chaotic mist ahead.
Boom! Rumble! Rumble!
With the attacks from these experts, the misty region ahead began to shake violently.
Turbulent chaotic mist churned wildly.
Under the white-haired elder's command, all the attacks from the experts converged and struck the same spot.
After a moment.
BOOM!
With a resounding explosion, all the thick mist at the targeted spot was swept clean, revealing a passageway that pierced through this region of chaotic mist, extending deep within.
"Young talents, you may now enter that Chaos Universe!
Remember, that Chaos Universe is actually a shattered, mysterious stretch of starry space containing many mysterious Small Worlds.
Once you enter that incomplete starry expanse, you will see numerous Starry Sky Ancient Paths. The end of each Starry Sky Ancient Path leads to a Small World.
You can choose any Starry Sky Ancient Path to follow, entering a Small World for exploration and training.
We have already sent a portion of our young talents into those Small Worlds, and they have achieved significant gains.
However, many young talents have also fallen within them.
Overall, those Small Worlds hold both great opportunities and immense peril.
Fortune and danger coexist. Everything depends on your own fate and skill.
Of course, if you do not wish to take the risk, then do not enter."
The white-haired elder spoke loudly and clearly.
"Good. Now, the young talents of the various major forces may enter!
Also, hand over your identity tokens to me so I can verify your entry qualifications," the white-haired elder added.
"Let's go!"
Immediately, many young people began charging toward the thick mist passageway that had just been opened.
These young people each took out an identity token and handed it to the white-haired elder before walking into that passageway of mist, heading deeper inside.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One young person after another, vying to be first, continuously streamed into the misty passageway.
Within moments, disciples from more than half of the forces present had already entered.
"Palace Master Ye, Qiqi, Xiao Xue, you can go in now.
Remember, within that Chaos Universe, there are both opportunities and danger.
No matter what, prioritize your own lives.
Coming out alive is what matters most," the Headmaster aboard Ye Yunfei's starship spoke up.
"Palace Master Ye, if possible, please help look after Qiqi inside.
Of course, I have also instructed our Taiyi Temple disciples to look after her," the Headmaster said to Ye Yunfei.
He knew Ye Yunfei's strength far surpassed that of his daughter.
"Headmaster, rest assured. Wherever possible, I will do my utmost to ensure Qiqi's safety," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei had always been a person with a clear sense of gratitude and resentment. This Xiantian Pavilion Headmaster had treated him well, and if possible, Ye Yunfei would definitely help him.
"Alright, you may go in now," the Headmaster said.
Thus, Ye Yunfei, Qiqi, and Xiao Xue disembarked from the starship and walked toward the dense mist region ahead.
As a precaution, Ye Yunfei employed the Thousand Transformations technique to alter his appearance and his soul's aura.
"Those are our Taiyi Temple disciples. Let's go over and join them," Qiqi said, pointing at a group of young people ahead.
Then, Qiqi led Ye Yunfei and Xiao Xue forward, following behind the Taiyi Temple disciples.
As they passed by the white-haired elder, the Taiyi Temple disciples each took out their identity tokens and handed them over for his inspection.
This white-haired elder possessed extraordinarily powerful Soul Power and was intimately familiar with the token characteristics of the various major forces. With a brief perception, he could discern whether a token was genuine or fake.
At this moment, the higher-ups of the major forces were all focused on the disciples of their respective factions, watching them as they entered.
Soon, Ye Yunfei, Qiqi, and Xiao Xue all produced their identity tokens, walked over, and presented them to the white-haired elder.
With a sweep of his Soul Power, the white-haired elder verified that the three tokens were genuine. He nodded, not even bothering to reach out his hand to receive them.
Right at this moment.
"Hmm? Why does this lad give me such a familiar feeling?
It feels like I've seen him not too long ago?
Logically, I shouldn't know a disciple from Taiyi Temple."
In the starry void far off, an old man's gaze suddenly locked onto Ye Yunfei, his brow furrowing.
Boom! Rumble! Rumble!
This old man released his Soul Power, reaching out across the distance to perceive Ye Yunfei.
This old man was immensely powerful, with astonishing Soul Power. Instantly, his spiritual sense enveloped Ye Yunfei's body, probing deeply.
"Could he possibly be..."
With a wave of his hand, a phantom image appeared before the old man—it was none other than Ye Yunfei.
Not long ago, the Jiang Clan's Fifth Elder had been killed by Ye Yunfei utilizing the Phoenix Bleeds Terrain in the Heaven Burial Tomb. Before his death, the Fifth Elder had sent back an imprint of Ye Yunfei's appearance and soul aura to the Jiang Clan headquarters.
At that time, many senior members of the Jiang Clan were present and had memorized Ye Yunfei's appearance and soul aura.
This old man was one of them!
Therefore, when he accidentally caught sight of Ye Yunfei, he immediately had a feeling of déjà vu.
Although Ye Yunfei's Thousand Transformations technique was sophisticated, this Jiang Clan elder was a top expert in the universe, with incredibly potent Soul Power. He managed to perceive some faint traces of a familiar aura.
"Could it really be him?
Better to act on a suspicion than let him slip away!
That kid caused the death of Old Fifth. This is a heaven-shaking grudge. Even if it means offending Taiyi Temple, I must check him properly!"
This Jiang Clan elder thought to himself.
Thus, he moved, darting toward Ye Yunfei.
