Chapter 388: Milky Way
Ye Guan, Erya, and Little White flew next to each other across the vast expanse. It had been three days since they left the Guanxuan Universe, so Ye Guan couldn't help but ask, "Erya, when will we reach the Milky Way?"
Erya's brows were slightly furrowed as she stared into the distance.
Ye Guan's face darkened, and he asked, "We're not lost, right?"
Erya blinked, but she didn't say anything in response. Ye Guan's expression stiffened.
All of a sudden, Erya turned to look at Little White.
Little White turned to the distance, and then she waved her tiny paw haphazardly.
Ye Guan looked at Erya and asked, "What did she say?"
"Use GPS," Erya said calmly.
"GPS? What is that?" Ye Guan asked with furrowed brows.
Erya thought briefly and said, "It points out the way, and we follow it."
Ye Guan's expression brightened, and he asked, "Who are we following?"
"The GPS!" Erya exclaimed.
"Who is the GPS?" Ye Guan asked."
"The GPS guides us in the way we should go," Erya replied.
"Is the GPS even a person? It doesn't sound like it," Ye Guan asked.
"I don't know..." Erya replied after much thought.
Ye Guan went numb. It seemed asking Erya would be a futile effort.
"Okay, then let's just go and use the GPS," Ye Guan said.
Erya shook her head and said, "We can't."
Ye Guan was puzzled. "Why can't we?"
Erya swept her gaze across the vast expanse and said, "There's no signal here."
Signal? Ye Guan frowned in confusion.
"But we can give it a try," Erya added just as Ye Guan was about to start asking questions.
Erya took out a square object from her pocket.
"What is that?" Ye Guan asked.
"You can call it a communication device. We got it from Milky Way, and you can use it for a lot of things, hehe," Erya explained with a grin. Erya's grin made it clear to Ye Guan that the square object was an extraordinary divine item.
Erya fumbled with the communication device, and then she raised it up high. After a while, the square object suddenly emitted a bright light.
Erya's eyes brightened as well as she exclaimed, "We're connected to Big Dipper now!"
Big Dipper? Ye Guan frowned once more.
Erya fumbled with the communication device once more before pointing to the right.
"It's there! We have to go there! Let's go!" Erya exclaimed.
Ye Guan nodded. With that, the three continued on their journey. Three hours later, the three arrived at a particularly quiet expanse of space. Erya grinned and stared at the distance. "We're about to reach the teleportation hub to the Milky Way."
She then picked up pace, and the two followed closely behind her.
They soon found themselves before a teleportation array.
An old man suddenly appeared in front of the three. He bowed respectfully to Erya and said, "This one's name is Shisan—greetings to Chief Erya!"
Erya nodded. "Rise."
Shisan smiled wryly at Erya's haughty tone of voice.
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile.
"Activate the teleportation array; we're going to the Blue Planet in the Milky Way Star Field."
"Blue Planet?" Shisan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Chief Erya, there's something fishy going on at the Blue Planet."
Erya frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's definitely something wrong, but I'm not aware of the details," Shisan replied.
"It's fine," Erya said calmly, "The three of us are here to deal with it."
Shisan didn't dare to say anything in response. He was well aware of Erya and Little White’s reputation on the Milky Way’s Blue Planet. Whenever Erya said that she would deal with issues, she would end up creating more issues for others to handle.
It had gotten so out of hand that both Erya and Little White had received the sobriquet—Blue Planet Troublemakers!
Under Shisan's command, the teleportation array was soon activated. As they approached the array, Ye Guan suddenly turned to Shisan and asked, "Do you not recognize me?"
Shisan looked at Ye Guan and respectfully replied, "May I ask who you are, sir?"
Ye Guan frowned.
Erya said, "No one in the Milky Way knows who you are."
Ye Guan nodded without saying anything.
He followed Erya and Little White into the teleportation array.
The teleportation array activated, whisking them away.
Erya grinned inside the spacetime tunnel and shouted, "I'm back!"
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. He knew that Erya's tendency to cause trouble was the reason she got dragged to the Guanxuan Universe. Of course, the same went for Little White. She was a bit of a troublemaker as well.
Erya stared at Ye Guan and boldly declared, "I'm going to take you with me on a journey to enjoy all sorts of delicacies. Of course, that includes a lot of spicy food! We're going to have a great time!"
"Sure," Ye Guan replied with a smile.
Erya revealed an enigmatic smile and said, "I'll eventually take you with us to the Boundless Club, and the three of us can each choose a girl to play with!"
Little White hurriedly pointed at herself, expressing that she wanted to have fun as well.
"You'll have as much fun as you want!" Erya declared boldly.
Little White grinned and hugged Erya before pelting her with kisses.
"What is this Boundless Club?" asked Ye Guan.
Erya explained, "It's a place for eating, drinking, and having fun. Moreover, it's owned by an old acquaintance of ours, the Boundless Master. He's like a brother to your dad. According to seniority, you should address him as Uncle."
Uncle Boundless? Ye Guan was stunned.
"He's great!" Erya said, "I'll have you know, but every time we go to his place to play, he never asks us for money. He also gives us the best."
Ye Guan was silent. He had this nagging feeling that the Boundless Club wasn't a decent place.
"Pro tip..." Erya trailed off and continued in a low voice. "You have to give tips once you're there. No, it's not just in that place. Whenever you go to places like the Boundless Club, you have to be generous with the tips."
"Tips?" Ye Guan asked, seemingly confused.
"Tipping can give you access to other services such as hidden services." Erya's expression was serious as she stared intently at Ye Guan. "You must not tell Sister An or Brother Yang that we're bringing you there to have fun, do you understand?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes!"
"Great!" Erya grinned. "That's my grandson!"
Ye Gua smiled wryly.
Erya and Little White were thrilled. Erya seemed especially excited, and she even started humming a tune.
The joyous mood seemed infectious as Ye Guan started smiling as well. He stared at the end of the spacetime tunnel, and he looked like he couldn't wait to see the Milky Way with his own eyes.
Erya suddenly said, "We're almost there."
Ye Guan nodded. He had already seen the white light at the end of the tunnel.
Soon, the three entered the white light, and their faces changed drastically.
A mysterious force was suppressing their cultivation bases!
What's going on?! Ye Guan turned to Erya and found that she was confused as well.
Boom!
A feeling of weightlessness engulfed Ye Guan, and he found himself falling straight down. Ye Guan's expression turned ugly. He opened his palm, and a formidable sword intent burst out of him, but it was immediately suppressed by the same mysterious force.
To make matters worse, the mysterious force had gotten stronger. It suppressed his cultivation to the Earth Immortal Realm! Ye Guan was stupefied. He was about to resist with all his might, but the mysterious force seemed to have sensed his attempt.
Boom!
A rumbling noise echoed, and Ye Guan's attempt to resist ended up being futile. Of course, he didn't give up resisting, but it was no use. Soon, he landed on the ground, and Ye Guan felt as if someone had punched him right in the chin.
His vision started to swim and darken.
I'm screwed! Ye Guan screamed inwardly before passing out.
After a while, Ye Guan heard some noise. He frowned and opened his eyes, but he was forced to close his eyes once more at the sharp pain coming from his head. Moreover, his head felt heavy, as if it were filled with water.
Just then, Ye Guan's eyes shot wide open, and he abruptly sat down. He looked down at himself and was horrified upon realizing that he couldn't sense his cultivation base at all!
It was like Ye Guan had never embarked on the journey of cultivation in the first place—like he had been a mortal all this while! Fortunately, he didn't seem to have sustained any injuries aside from a concussion.
Ye Guan tried to detect his cultivation base multiple times to no avail. To make matters worse, his fleshly body had been suppressed as well.
What happened to my fleshly body?! Ye Guan was beyond horrified. He reckoned that he was under some kind of a seal and a restriction that forbade him from mustering the strength of his fleshly body.
Who's the bastard who did this?! Ye Guan cursed inwardly. Ye Guan was both shocked and horrified by the revelations, and it was all because his overall prowess was equivalent to a Great Destiny Sovereign.
Despite that, someone had somehow managed to suppress both his cultivation base and fleshly body. Ye Guan couldn't even imagine the true strength of such a supreme being.
Ye Guan had many burning questions, but one thing was for sure—the Milky Star Field had an extremely powerful supreme being!
Alarm bells started ringing in Ye Guan's mind. He looked around and was stupefied once more.
What are those? Where am I?
Towering skyscrapers blotting out the distant horizon stood before him, and there were also strange vehicles speeding across the roads flanked by strange-looking lamps. Ye Guan was staring at the scenery of a strange, unknown world.
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
The world before him was completely foreign to him—the people, the buildings, the culture, and even the air were completely different compared to the Guanxuan Universe!
Ye Guan's eyes widened upon recalling something. He looked around, but Erya and Little White were nowhere to be found. Ye Guan's face darkened. Did something happen to them?
Ye Guan thought about it, but it was unlikely as Erya was an extremely powerful demonic beast, while Little White was a Spirit Progenitor. Ye Guan reckoned that they were still supreme elites even without their cultivation bases. Moreover, they were familiar with the Milky Way, so navigating couldn't be an issue for them.
Ye Guan took a moment to compose himself. The top priority was to remove the seal on his cultivation. Ye Guan noticed that people were casting strange gazes at him. He soon understood that it was due to his unique attire.
After a moment of silence, Ye Guan came up with a plan.
He needed to go to the Boundless Club. The Boundless Club was the only place he knew in this strange world, so he reckoned that he would have to find the owner of the Boundless Club to recover his cultivation base.
Ye Guan sat down and rested for a while.
Eventually, he got up and approached a passing woman.
"Miss, excuse me," he said.
The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Ye Guan. Ye Guan was dressed in cosplay, but the point was that he was very handsome. His facial features were both sharp and refined, while his skin seemed silky smooth in addition to being as white as snow.
The woman smiled sweetly at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan asked, "Miss, can I ask where the Boundless Club is?"
The Boundless Club? The woman froze, and all the good impression she had of Ye Guan evaporated into nothingness. She glared at Ye Guan and coldly spat, "You... hooligan!"
She then turned around and left without even looking back. In fact, she was even cursing Ye Guan as she walked away.
Ye Guan was stupefied. Hooligan? I was just asking for directions!
Ye Guan had no idea what to say. He looked up at the night sky and frowned. Which bastard placed a restriction over this place?
Ye Guan sighed and took a step forward when—
Boom!
—Ye Guan suddenly went flying as a wave of excruciating pain inundated his back.
Who attacked me? Ye Guan thought before falling unconscious once more.
"H-he was jaywalking!" someone shouted from inside the strange-looking vehicle.
"J-Jiue'er! I hit someone!" a woman shouted in a panic.
"Is he dead?"
"I'm not sure—Ah! He's talking!"
"What is he saying?"
"How dare... you?"
"..."
