Wu Shattered Star River

“How are we supposed to find him like this?”

In the endless void, Immortal King Hunto and Immortal King Dongzheng were flying rapidly together through the pitch-black expanse.

They had been flying for three days and three nights, but hadn't even seen a ghost.

The endless void was boundless, and their perception was severely weakened. Even for Immortal Kings, they could only sense an area of a few thousand miles around them.

After searching for several days, the two were growing impatient. This aimless search was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Unless they had incredible luck, the chances of finding him were zero.

“It's a pity Celestial Venerable Tianji isn't here!”

Immortal King Dongzheng sighed and said, “If we could bring Celestial Venerable Tianji here, with his tracking immortal arts, he could easily find Jiang Han.”

“Saying that is useless!”

Immortal King Hunto shook his head and said, “You might as well ask why the Western Heavenly Emperor didn't bring the Jade Emperor's Void-Piercing Mirror? With that mirror, let alone Jiang Han, you could easily see where Jiang Henshui is.”

“Even with the Void-Piercing Mirror, it's useless!”

Immortal King Dongzheng curled his lips and said, “It's pitch black here, with no sense of direction or reference points. Even if you can see Jiang Han, how would you know exactly where he is?”

“Let's not talk about this anymore!”

Immortal King Hunto thought for a moment and said, “Shall we go to the outer reaches of the Ancient God Star Region? Only in the outer regions will we have a chance to intercept him.”

“The Ancient God Star Region…”

Immortal King Dongzheng hesitated and said, “The Western Heavenly Emperor told us not to get close to the Ancient God Star Region. It's too dangerous there. If we are targeted by those alien races, we might die there.”

“What are you afraid of?”

Immortal King Hunto glared and said, “The Immortal Emperors of those alien races can't possibly be wandering around the outer regions for no reason. We can't find him searching like this; we can only encounter him if we go to the outer regions. Are you going or not? If not, I'll go alone.”

“Alright!”

Immortal King Dongzheng gave a wry smile. He knew that Immortal King Hunto was very annoyed. Jiang Han was about to be captured by him, but a mysterious expert appeared, causing the merit that was within his reach to fly away. He was very upset.

The two stopped searching and, at full speed, flew rapidly towards the Ancient God Star Region.

…

Jiang Han appeared in Xuanwu Cave but was intercepted by Immortal King Hunto, who was arranged by the Western Heavenly Emperor, and was almost captured.

However, at the last moment, a mysterious expert appeared and used an Original Spirit Embryo to block Immortal King Hunto, allowing Jiang Han to successfully escape into the endless void.

This matter had spread throughout the upper echelons of the Heavenly Court in the past few days, but those large families tacitly chose to block the news and prevent it from spreading.

Moreover, the Jade Emperor's side was also incredibly strange in that no imperial decree was issued, as if he was completely unaware of the matter.

In addition, the appearance of a fake Jiang Han in the Nether Mountains was also suppressed.

The Western Heavenly Emperor issued an order strictly prohibiting the dissemination of information about this matter; otherwise, upon discovery, the person would be killed without mercy.

The various large families all knew that this matter was actually very big, extremely big.

The reason why the Jade Emperor did not issue a decree and remained silent was because he was afraid of causing turmoil in the Heavenly Court and affecting his foundation of rule.

An Immortal Emperor was willing to destroy an Original Spirit Embryo to openly slap the Jade Emperor's face and publicly support the Azure Emperor.

This matter was too egregious!

The problem was that it was not easy to deal with because any Immortal Emperor was suspected of having an Original Spirit Embryo.

On the surface, only a few supreme experts possessed Original Spirit Embryos. Could it be that the Jade Emperor would issue a decree ordering them to take out their Original Spirit Embryos to prove their innocence? What if they had two Original Spirit Embryos?

Furthermore, if a full investigation were to be conducted, the Immortal Emperors loyal to the Jade Emperor would also be investigated, which would make those Immortal Emperors feel chilled.

This matter could not be investigated openly. The more the matter was stirred up, the greater the blow to the Jade Emperor's prestige.

They could only investigate secretly, only block the news to prevent the people below from knowing, and reduce the impact of the matter to the lowest level.

Of course, this matter could not be blocked for the large families. Now, all the large families knew the news.

The atmosphere throughout the Heavenly Court and the various Immortal Kingdoms became strange, and many wealthy families were also uneasy.

The Azure Emperor faction's experts openly jumped out for the first time, slapping the Jade Emperor's face and provoking the Jade Emperor's majesty. Would this lead to civil strife in the Heavenly Court?

If the Azure Emperor could return, would there be infighting in the Heavenly Court?

Once there was infighting, no matter which side won, the strength of the Heavenly Court would be greatly weakened. When the God Race and the Demon Race attacked, how could the Heavenly Court withstand it?

Many neutral faction experts were extremely uneasy during this period, and some experts even began to pray—hoping that the Azure Emperor would not be resurrected and would die completely.

This way, there would be no infighting in the Heavenly Court, and the stable and peaceful situation could be maintained.

The Jade Emperor remained silent and did not issue any decree. The upper echelons of the Heavenly Court were walking on thin ice and were uneasy during this period.

The various large families ordered their descendants to be as low-key as possible, and some纨绔子弟were directly locked up.

They all knew that the Jade Emperor was definitely in a rage now, and they had to be low-key and honest during this period. Otherwise, it would be easy to be caught in the crossfire and become the Jade Emperor's object of killing the chicken to warn the monkey…

Countless eyes were also cast on the God and Demon Battlefield and the endless void, all waiting for the results of the Immortal Kings' pursuit.

If Jiang Han could be brought back, the anger in the Jade Emperor's heart could at least be vented somewhat.

Moreover, Jiang Han was Jiang Henshui's son. If Jiang Han could be captured, the Jade Emperor might be able to use Jiang Han to force Jiang Henshui to come out from within the Ancient God Star Region.

…

Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

“It shouldn't be far away!”

Jiang Han and the others had been flying for thirteen days in the Gale Shuttle, and they felt that they were about to approach the outer reaches of the Ancient God Star Region.

During these thirteen days, apart from encountering a few spacetime turbulence incidents, there was no danger. They had not even encountered a single living being in such a long time.

The three of them became excited, but also nervous.

The excitement was easy to understand, and the nervousness was because the three of them suspected that there were Immortal Kings lying in wait in the outer regions.

In addition, the outer reaches of the Ancient God Star Region were so dangerous that the three of them were worried about whether they could cross the Sea of Chaos.

“I suggest we fly for another day and detour to the west or east, and not fly directly to the Ancient God Star Region!”

Yu Xi thought for several days and made a suggestion. She took out a map and said, “The entire Ancient God Star Region is surrounded by the Sea of Chaos, which is very large. Even if ten Immortal Kings come in, the area they can monitor is not large.”

“Under normal circumstances, they should be lying in wait in the southern part of the Ancient God Star Region. We can detour for ten days or half a month and go to the east or west. Entering from these two directions will be much safer.”

Immortal Wuyun's gaze turned to the map, and Jiang Han also pondered.

After a moment, Jiang Han asked, “Generally, the Heavenly Court enters from the south, right? If we enter from the west or east, will we easily encounter alien races? Will we encounter the God Race or the Demon Race?”

“It's all possible!”

Immortal Wuyun sighed and said, “Going straight into the south is easy to encounter Immortal Kings blocking the way. However, the cultivators on the Heavenly Court's side basically enter from the south, so it should be safer here.”

Yu Xi and Immortal Wuyun both turned their gazes to Jiang Han, waiting for his decision.

Detouring around the outside was safer, but it might be more dangerous after entering. If they didn't detour, they might not even be able to enter the Ancient God Star Region and would be captured.

“Detour to the west!”

Jiang Han pondered for a moment and made a decision.

He didn't want to be captured by the people of the Heavenly Court, as this would easily allow the Jade Emperor to use him to make a fuss and put Jiang Henshui in a difficult position.

He would rather face the alien races. Dying in the hands of the alien races was better than dying in the hands of the people of the Heavenly Court.

Besides, there was danger in entering from any direction. Whether they could successfully enter the Ancient God Star Region and whether they could find Jiang Henshui and the others all depended on luck.

“咻!”

The Gale Shuttle turned its direction and flew in a straight line towards the west.

Since they were going to detour, Jiang Han prepared to detour a little further, even if it took half a month or even a month, as long as it was safe enough.
