Chapter 1023: Chapter 553: Powers Gather, Undercurrents Surge (Part 2)
"Indeed, these inscriptions, or rather the true purpose of the Order Chains, is to bind this massive planet, preventing it from collapsing into a Black Hole."
"At the same time, it also stabilizes the space here."
"The stability of this space is probably only comparable to the ancestral grounds of those supreme powers."
Luo Venerable’s voice came, and he walked out of the cabin, taking a step right beside Jiang Shu, a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
In his youth, he also participated in the Deep Space Sea’s selection and entered the Deep Space Sea for exploration.
With the passage of time, he is now a Venerable of the Forget Realm, revisiting the old place, he can’t help but feel a bit emotional.
"In the past, it was the seniors of the Business Association who sent me here, now it’s my turn, as a senior, to escort you here."
His voice was not loud, only a few people could hear it.
"Back in the Deep Space Sea, I also gained some opportunities. Although I don’t know if there’s still anything there now, I won’t hide what should be told. Once you enter the Deep Space Sea, you can join hands and explore, there’s enough for you to share among yourselves."
He believes those who can hear his words will definitely pass the upcoming selection and enter the Deep Space Sea.
And the most important person among them is Jiang Shu, standing at the forefront.
This time, the selection for the Deep Space Sea is extremely grand, and even some old Star Sky Giant Ships can be seen slowly advancing.
These Star Sky Giant Ships come from small forces on the outer ring of the Star Ruins Realm.
These small forces neither have powerful Great Powers nor are they able to nurture geniuses with exceptional talent, and can only gradually fade away in the long river of history, not even leaving behind a name.
Hence, they try every possible means to continue their tradition and lineage, and this time in the Deep Space Sea is an opportunity.
"Struggle, struggle, but how many can reach the end of this Cultivation Path?"
"Even someone at my realm cannot leave a trace in the vast river of time and space."
The Cosmic is too vast, time is too broad.
Not to mention the Venerables of the Eleventh Realm, even Supreme beings of the Twelfth Realm among the countless geniuses who have emerged in the long history, most of their names have long disappeared with time, no one remembers their existence.
"Therefore, we must focus on the present."
Jiang Shu smiled and chimed in: "This selection will be the time when we make our names known."
His voice wasn’t loud, but his gaze seemed to penetrate the incomparably massive planet.
The aura he emanated influenced everyone around him, even the smile on Luo Venerable’s face grew wider.
As the saying goes, one who is close to ink becomes stained black, one who is close to vermilion becomes red.
With Jiang Shu leading, the younger members of the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance gradually united as one.
However, at this moment, Luo Venerable suddenly looked up, the smile vanished from his face, and his brows furrowed, but he remained still.
The next instant, Jiang Shu also sensed something, looked up to see a brilliant sword light approaching from afar, carrying a mighty Sword Intent, rushing straight at him.
He was calm and unhurried, taking the Desolate Star Halberd in reverse, with just a gentle wave, a vast brilliance appeared, the powerful Sword Qi collided, diffusing powerful shockwaves, which swept past, washing over the Star Sky Battleship’s Defense Array, stirring up layers of ripples.
"Who goes there?"
Jiang Shu held his weapon, making his presence somewhat eerie and terrifying, with Demonic Qi surging.
As his words fell, a thin figure appeared in the nearby space, dressed in a black robe, holding a Three-foot Cyan Sword, appearing quite elegant.
"I heard there’s someone in this era who’s managed to draw with Zhan Feng, so I thought I’d come and take a look."
"You are indeed extraordinary."
"I look forward to the day when we meet in the finals."
Jiang Shu remained indifferent, seemingly not placing this Sword Cultivator in his eyes.
"Is this how you say hello?"
This Sword Cultivator’s behavior showed a disregard for Jiang Shu and the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance. If this young Sword Cultivator doesn’t give an explanation, the image painstakingly built by the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance in the Inner Circle would be ruined.
"This is the Sword Madman of Cang Mountain, no less than Zhan Feng, be careful."
A voice transmitted from behind into Jiang Shu’s mind.
The speaker was a youth who didn’t appear extraordinary, with a constant smile on his face.
He was an ancient anomaly of the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, who had recently boarded the Star Sky Giant Ship midway. Originally, it was thought that there would be a fierce rivalry between him and Jiang Shu, but it didn’t happen, and instead, he proactively fostered a relationship with Jiang Shu.
The Sword Madman was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then spoke again: "Sorry to disturb everyone."
"This is how I greet a Wind Cloud Pride. When they see me, they slash at me with an axe, I thought they would have told you."
The Sword Madman, although obsessed with the Sword Dao, wasn’t entirely unreasonable, and immediately explained. From his words, it seemed he had a good relationship with the Wind Cloud Pride.
Jiang Shu remained calm, fully aware that the root of everything lay in the fact that his strength hadn’t yet completely made an impact.
In the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, they hadn’t officially entered the Inner Ring of the Star Ruins Realm.
But as his reputation grew, such incidents would become increasingly rare!
He nodded and said: "Then in the finals, I shall look forward to witnessing your skills."
The Sword Madman nodded, as if he discovered something else, and disappeared without a trace.
He walked through the stars, with a sword glow always protecting him, forming his own space.
Evidently, the earlier sword strike seemed more like a casual act.
Looking back, Jiang Shu saw him appear by another battleship even stronger than the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance’s Star Sky Battleship, and struck again with his sword.
At the same time, a figure rushed out from it, with the phantom of a Fierce Beast appearing behind them, shattering the sword light with a punch, followed by a laughing rebuke.
"Heh, Sword Madman, we haven’t seen each other in so long, and this is how you treat me?"
It seems that this guy indeed has such a personality.
"These ancient anomalies really have strange personalities."
A genius of the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance whispered to those around him.
"They’ve lived too long. Although they can seclude themselves, shutting off all perception, most of their peers have perished with the passage of time. Even those still living have often ascended to the high echelons of various forces."
"Therefore, many ancient anomalies are both friends and foes, resonating with each other. It’s quite normal for small cliques to form."
"But the young brother did speak correctly. It’s precisely because they’ve lived so long, some have quite peculiar personalities. Yet genius, by nature, tends to have unique personalities."
The smile on his face was congenial, yet it masked his true thoughts.
The Star Sky Battleship continued forward, and gradually, more and more battleships appeared around them, through the Defense Array, one could clearly see people standing, observing each other.
Yu Tianming was currently the supreme genius in the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance with the closest relationship to Jiang Shu. Hence, during this period, he learned about almost all the ancient anomalies who have shown themselves publicly, speaking to Jiang Shu of their strength.
"Most of them possess a cultivation similar to yours, in the Tenth Realm Middle Stage. Among them, there are even those who can contend for supremacy with Wind Cloud Pride."
"Some also thought that many among them had perished over the years, unexpected to see them appear again."
Jiang Shu’s mouth curled into a smile upon hearing this.
"It seems the allure of opportunity in the Deep Space Sea is too great. Even some Venerables of the Forget Realm probably can’t resist the temptation, but are held back by certain factors from personally contesting for it."
"Who knows what kind of great opportunity it is..."
Yu Tianming sighed, lowering her head, although she had great confidence in Jiang Shu.
Yet, upon seeing so many ancient anomalies emerge, she couldn’t help but begin to doubt whether Jiang Shu could seize the greatest opportunity this time in the Deep Space Sea.
