On the next day, at this moment, Aldrian was already in space, outside the atmosphere of the Ancient Blue Gate world. After saying goodbye to his family, he had teleported to this place to once again sense the direction of the gathered faith of this star.

He looked in a certain direction, and after confirming it was correct, he decided to teleport that way. He was still in space, and Aldrian thought that being in space would make his journey much easier due to the lack of living beings or obstacles here.

That was not truly surprising. At the very least, only cultivators above the High Emperor stage could reach space. Those below the Peak Emperor stage would face extreme difficulty even close to impossible, when attempting to overcome the natural barrier that protected the star.

The invisible barrier caused those who tried to fly into space to feel an overwhelming pressure, to the point they could not resist it unless they were at the Peak Emperor stage or above. However, it was not impossible for those below that level to travel in space, and that was by using a transportation artifact, just like the one Aldrian was seeing right now.

There was a type of transportation called interstellar vessel, according to the information shown by his Eyes of the Heaven. It resembled a flying fortress but appeared to be designed for travel between stars. Aldrian could see several of them flying here and there in the distance, entering and leaving the Ancient Blue Gate World.

Aldrian continued to teleport in the direction of the gathered faith, but he had to stop a few minutes after leaving his domain of the Barisan Continent. He could no longer sense the direction of the faith. The distance from the source might have been too great, and the faith energy had become so faint and blurry that he could not sense it while outside his domain.

How to solve this problem?

Of course by creating his domain right there.

The moment his domain was formed, he could once again sense the clear direction of the faith energy and teleported toward it. However, he knew that using this method for the entire journey would take a long time, as he would have to stop too many times.

He then decided to make his journey more efficient. Instead of always stopping after he got out of his domain, he would reduce the number of stops and simply fly in the general direction of the faith energy. Occasionally, he would create his domain to ensure he had not strayed from the correct course.

That way, he would avoid the constant stops, which were too time-consuming.

--------------------------------

While Aldrian was already on his journey, somewhere far away from him, there was a bustling city filled with many strong cultivators. The city was not much different from any of the grand cities found in the Ancient Blue Gate World, despite being located on a different star.

In the eastern part of the city, there was also a floating landmass, though it was neither as vast nor as high as Aldrian's floating land.

The average level of cultivation in this place was also not much different from that of other cities in the Ancient Blue Gate World—except, of course, for those in the Barisan Continent.

As the city's inhabitants continued their daily activities, they suddenly saw a large cruiser entering the city from the west. The symbol embedded on the front of the cruiser made their hearts tremble.

Seeing the symbol, murmurs began to spread among the people.

"Why is the Valroy family visiting this city? This isn't something that happens often," asked a man on the street to a stranger beside him.

"I don't know, but it's not surprising. Anything is possible when the Barevisk family is one of the Valroy family's affiliate families," the stranger replied.

"We common folk won't ever know what those big shots are doing anyway, so it's better not to think too much about it," he added, then continued walking, leaving the man behind as he watched the cruiser fly toward the floating land. After a moment, the man also resumed walking, deciding to ignore the affairs of those in high positions.

If something happened, word would naturally reach the populace.

On the floating land, where a giant manor stood, the cruiser landed on one section of the terrain. Near the landing site, a line of cultivators from the Barevisk family was already waiting, as if they were expecting an important figure. Among them stood a few elders, grand elders, and a black-haired middle-aged man with the strongest cultivation present.

This man was at the low Pseudo-Immortal stage, but despite his strength, his expression showed reverence toward the cruiser that had just landed nearby.

Moments after the cruiser touched down, a side hatch opened, revealing several people preparing to disembark. Leading them was another middle-aged man, this one with blonde hair. Like the black-haired man, he was also at the low Pseudo-Immortal stage.

As soon as he stepped out, the black-haired man greeted him with a wide smile.

"Welcome to the Barevisk Family Manor, Elder Crozz," the black-haired man said with a slight bow.

"Thank you for the greeting, Patriarch Barevisk. I thought you might be bored by my visit—after all, I was just here not long ago, hahaha," Elder Crozz replied.

"Of course not, Elder. There's no way I could be bored by your visit. Anyway, you must be tired after a long journey. This way, please. We can talk in a much more comfortable place," Patriarch Barevisk said, guiding the elder toward the large manor.

Patriarch Barevisk led Elder Crozz to a luxurious private room where they could converse freely without being disturbed. After the maids served their drinks, Elder Crozz finally brought up the topic he had come to discuss.

"Anyway, Patriarch Barevisk, you mentioned that the first report from the Barisan Continent of the Ancient Blue Gate World arrived yesterday, right? May I take a look at it now?"

Patriarch Barevisk then took out his information crystal, which was slightly different from those used in the Barisan Continent. This one was smaller, circular in shape, with a red crystal embedded in its center.

"My people managed to infiltrate undetected and gathered quite a lot of information. But the results they obtained... well, how should I put it... it left me confused. It's better if Elder sees it for himself," Patriarch Barevisk said, handing over the information crystal.

Elder Crozz was curious about what had caused the patriarch to speak that way. He took the crystal and began reviewing its contents. After a few minutes, he frowned and looked at the patriarch.

"Is this information legit?" he asked.

The patriarch responded with a nod.

"Yes, it is. They said they were just as confused and shocked when they stepped onto that continent. It's completely different from what we all assumed, especially with someone that strong living there," Patriarch Barevisk said.

Elder Crozz continued frowning as he looked at the information crystal again.

From what he had read in the report, the continent could be considered the weakest he had ever known. The number of cultivators who had reached the Immortal Transition Realm could be counted on one hand.

That made it even weaker than the weakest continent in Akares star, where even the least-developed continent had at least dozens at that level.

With the strongest individual only at the Pseudo-Immortal Establishment stage, this Barisan continent was, by all accounts, the most vulnerable continent in his knowledge.

And yet, one thing stood out, the existence of a single emperor who had united the continent under his rule. A figure regarded as a god in that land.

Aldrian the Great.

His strength at the low Pseudo-Immortal Establishment stage was indeed the highest on that continent, so it made sense that he could unite it. However, there was nothing remarkable about him when viewed on a stellar scale.

There were countless cultivators at that level, and Elder Crozz, as one of the Grand Elders of the Valroy family and also at the low Pseudo-Immortal stage, could kill such a man with a mere flick of his finger.

But the way the report described this Aldrian the Great was truly astonishing—even exaggerated. It portrayed him as an existence that even those at the Pseudo-Immortal stage could not afford to offend.

The report didn't mention anything directly about the mysterious figure who had fought the immortal. Yet, from the way it was written, it implicitly suggested that this Aldrian the Great was the one who had faced that immortal.

This didn't make any sense at all. There was no way someone at that level could fight a being that even Pseudo-Immortals had no chance against. He had already heard about the battle above the Barisan Continent from trustworthy sources, and it was true—Pseudo-Immortals were like ants before the power of that Immortal.

No matter how much of a genius this Aldrian the Great was, there was simply no way he could have faced such a being. If someone at the Pseudo-Immortal Establishment stage could fight an Immortal, it would overturn the current understanding of cultivation that had been established since ancient times.

He felt the report contained many strange contradictions, yet Patriarch Barevisk had claimed it was legitimate.

Elder Crozz didn't believe the patriarch would give him false information. He knew Patriarch Barevisk's character well, the man wasn't foolish enough to offend the family backing the Barevisk family, especially when his family, the Valroy family, was also the strongest in the Akares Star.

"We'll need to observe that place more carefully. Still, I have to inform the young master about this," Elder Crozz thought.
