This method is a bit troublesome, but it's better than waiting for the Insect Path to stabilize here.

As for the Insect Path before us, whether it can stabilize is uncertain. Even if it can, who knows how many years it will take? It could be a few years or a decade, or it might take hundreds to thousands of years — there's no way to make an accurate judgment.

"I heard there's an All Phenomena Ocean here, a place where cultivators from all directions gather!" Tang Jun spoke, "We need to find someone to inquire about the location of that All Phenomena Ocean, and we'll head there first."

If you're going to gather information, naturally, it's more convenient to go where there are more people.

Lu Ye casually tossed him a star map.

Tang Jun took it, examined it briefly, then turned his head to look at Lu Ye with a speechless expression.

They had only been in this All Phenomena Galaxy for a few days, and even someone of the Moon Jade rank like him didn't have the star map of this galaxy, yet Lu Ye did.

This was quite intriguing.

And judging by Lu Ye's demeanor, it seemed he probably had more than one star map in his possession.

How long has it been? Has this kid already started his killing spree?

Calming his mind, he carefully examined the star map, then turned to look in a certain direction, "It should be over here, let's go."

Saying this, he flew out first, with Lu Ye following closely behind, holding back for a while before saying, "Old Tang, are we really going to just fly over there like this?"

Tang Jun turned to look at him, "Are you going to carry me on your back? I'm getting old, my legs aren't good. You young folks have energy, it's only right to exert a bit more effort."

Lu Ye suppressed the urge to draw his sword, "Don't you have anything to speed up the journey, like a starboat or something?"

Tang Jun replied in a bad mood, "My storage ring was taken by you, where would I get a starboat?"

Lu Ye said nothing, just stared fixedly at him.

The old guy without a starboat, Lu Ye couldn't believe it, even Zhao Tianmu, who was in the Constellation Late Stage, had a starboat.

Flying on for a while longer, perhaps Tang Jun also felt that flying all the way there was really wasting too much time, and he pretended to suddenly realize, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have truly forgotten. Getting old really affects memory!"

With those words, he threw out a starboat, which looked somewhat like a Silver Fish, but wasn't as large. It could only accommodate three to five people at most.

Tang Jun boarded first, followed closely by Lu Ye.

Checking to the left and right...

The Silver Fish was currently with Nian Yuexian, and he didn't have another starboat. In the future, it wouldn't be convenient to act in the All Phenomena Galaxy without a companion to keep up the pace.

"Old Tang..."

"Don't even think about it! This is the only one I have!"

"A big Moon Jade like you, and you care about such small things?"

Tang Jun laughed in exasperation. When opposing Lu Ye, he felt this kid was ruthless, but after sharing the same fate, he realized his shamelessness. The clinking of his calculations could be heard across the Jade Conch Galaxy.

"Either way, don't think about it. I can't give it to you," Tang Jun said firmly.

Lu Ye pursed his lips and sat down cross-legged, and Tang Jun faintly heard him muttering something about stinginess.

As they continued on their way, the empty space around them gradually became lively, and they kept encountering cultivators passing through nearby. Some cultivators traveled through the air, while others quickly sped by in spirit arks, mostly in groups, with very few alone.

The diverse designs of those spirit arks dazzled Lu Ye's eyes.

The further they went, the more bustling the starry space became.

Moreover, everyone they saw was above the Constellation Realm, with occasional traces of Moon Jade Realm auras passing by. This part of the galaxy truly had Constellations walking everywhere and Moon Jades as numerous as dogs. The gathering of cultivators was a spectacular sight, opening the eyes of Lu Ye and Tang Jun, two country bumpkins from remote areas.

And this was only the periphery of the All Phenomena Ocean. Who knows what kind of grand scene it would be inside the fabled All Phenomena Ocean?

With more people, trouble becomes more likely, especially since the cultivators traveling here come from hundreds to thousands of different star systems. Everyone lives on the edge, fighting and competing is inevitable.

Throughout their journey, they encountered at least a dozen battles, which Tang Jun perceived from afar, steering his starboat clear.

This is also common knowledge when traveling through the starry space: if you encounter a dispute, don't approach rashly, or you might easily provoke hostility from both sides. If everyone gangs up against you, that's not a pretty scene.

After nearly a month's flight, they saw a marvelous scene in the starry sky from afar!

In the distant starry sky, a vast area was shrouded in a blue expanse, as if a vast ocean was suspended in the starry sky, an awe-inspiring sight.

The Wanxiang Sea has arrived!

Although called a sea, the Wanxiang Sea is not a real ocean existing in the stellar space.

The jade slip from the Dwarf Race records that among the three major stellar phenomena of the All Phenomena Galaxy, the foremost is this Wanxiang Sea, which is the reason the All Phenomena Galaxy became renowned throughout the stellar region.

In the vast and boundless stellar space, there are countless marvelous phenomena, each displaying unique characteristics. The Wanxiang Sea is just one of them.

From a great distance, the scale of this Wanxiang Sea seems not too large, but as one gets closer, its grandeur becomes increasingly palpable.

This marvel covers an unknowable expanse of billions of miles, occupying roughly one-tenth of the All Phenomena Galaxy, which speaks to its enormous size.

However, compared to other stellar phenomena, the scale of the Wanxiang Sea is actually not too large. Records in the Dwarf Race's jade slip show that some stellar phenomena can cover an entire galaxy or even several, and even if a Constellation Realm practitioner entered, it would take years to pass through, even when piloting a starboat like the Silver Fish.

On the starboat, an old man and a young man stood side by side, silently feeling the oppressive presence of that vast ocean.

"Young friend Taibai!" Tang Jun suddenly spoke, "After some thought, we should split actions. This way, we can discreetly watch each other's backs, and even if one side encounters trouble, we won't be without help. What do you think?"

Lu Ye pondered for a moment, "I think what you said makes sense!"

Suddenly arriving at this unfamiliar place, full of powerful beings, it's indeed not suitable to move together. Separating is more efficient, and as Tang Jun said, if one side runs into trouble, the other can assist secretly.

Gathering together makes it easy to be caught in one sweep.

"Let's exchange audio talisman markings for easy contact in case of need." Tang Jun handed his audio talisman to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye followed suit, and shortly after, he retrieved his audio talisman and leapt off the starboat.

"If there's any news, I'll inform you at the first instance. I'll go ahead." Tang Jun's starboat moved away, leaving only his distant words.

Lu Ye watched his starboat disappear from sight, then leisurely headed towards the Wanxiang Sea.

Tang Jun opting for split action must have his own considerations; the reasons he stated are likely just part of it. The largest reason is probably fear of being dragged down by him.

Based on the star map Lu Ye gave him, Tang Jun must have sensed something. To an old fellow already half-buried in the ground, pursuing peace, staying with someone like Lu Ye, who frequently engages in fights, naturally feels uncomfortable.

Lu Ye didn't point this out, as splitting actions indeed is more effective.

Moreover, though they hail from the same star system and now share a common fate here, their relationship isn't yet strong enough for joint action.

As he flew, Lu Ye touched his right wrist.

He actually had a way to leave the All Phenomena Galaxy, which is activating the mark bestowed by the Reincarnation Tree, allowing direct entry into its domain.

Then he could inquire about the position of the Nine Provinces, hopefully finding the direction home. Regarding entities most knowledgeable about this stellar region, the Reincarnation Tree is unmatched, with its doppelgangers spread throughout the stellar domains, intimately familiar with every star system.

However, how far the Reincarnation Tree is from the Nine Provinces, and how many star systems the journey would traverse, Lu Ye didn't know. Knowing the route home wouldn't be worthwhile if it took hundreds or thousands of years.

Lu Ye kept this method as a backup. Comparatively, Tang Jun's proposal is quicker—investigating star systems neighboring the Jade Conch Galaxy, then using their Insect Paths to proceed, would expeditedly return home.

After flying for several days, he gradually approached the Wanxiang Sea.

The vast Wanxiang Sea, being a three-dimensional entity, technically allowed entry from any direction.

But in reality, things weren't so simple.

The seawater of the Wanxiang Sea appears like seawater but is actually an aggregation of stellar space energy.

If it were only that, this place would indeed be a paradise for practitioners of the upper three realms, who need to absorb and refine stellar space energy, with spirit jade and spirit crystals being condensations of that energy.

However, the seawater of the Wanxiang Sea contains not only stellar space energy beneficial to practitioners but also operates under unique rules as an ancient stellar phenomenon.

Simply put, the seawater here has a significantly stronger corrosive quality than typical stellar space energy, enough to resist even practitioners of the upper three realms.

Thus, recklessly delving into the seawater could render even top-level practitioners unable to endure for long. Accumulating too many impurities would certainly affect one's foundation, severely damaging vital energy or even causing a drop in cultivation level in severe cases.

This leads to no practitioner daring to easily venture into the vast Wanxiang Sea, despite its coveted stellar energy.

Practitioners typically enter from above the Wanxiang Sea.

Lu Ye flew in from the edge of the Wanxiang Sea, observing the island-dotted sea surface from afar.

These islands, coexistent with the Wanxiang Sea since its inception, withstand endless years of corrosive seawater, indestructible. Even a Sun Blaze expert couldn't easily destroy them.

Practitioners from the four galaxies use these islands as a foothold, maintaining prosperity through countless generations, preserving this place's prosperity and flourishing.
