My disciple's cultivation returns ten thousand times, so I have to be invincible.

The system responded quickly.

[Replying to the host, although the Void can ignore spatial distance to a certain extent, it requires precise coordinates and anchor points of sufficient quality to lock onto nearby nodes.]

Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow: "An anchor point of sufficient quality? Can't Bai Ling herself do it?"

The system replied.

[It only roughly locates Bai Ling's location, but cannot pinpoint it precisely. As for the anchor point, it must be at least planet-level in quality.]

[For example, the node where the host entered and exited previously was formed around the sea star, anchored by it.]

After the system explained it, Zhong Qing finally understood it.

In other words, although the alien void is everywhere, the nodes connecting the universe are basically near each planet.

In the void of the universe where there is nothing, nodes rarely appear.

Therefore, the node that Zhong Qing came out of before was so close to Minghaixing, and it only took him more than a day to get there by driving the Prisoner Starship.

The system continued.

[The current information is insufficient to lock onto the nodes near Bai Ling. If we rashly move through the alien void, the final result may be even more different.]

[It is not impossible to fall thousands of light years away from the target point. ]

Zhong Qing gave up the idea as soon as he heard it.

He was only 5,200 light-years away from Bai Ling. If he was hit thousands of light-years away, who knew where he would end up.

Fortunately, the Xuqi Immortal Area is not an uninhabited area.

Even if the Minghai Sect does not know the situation at a greater distance, there is no possibility of a teleportation array from the Minghai Sky Region directly leading to the Jinyu Sky Region, but there are always star gates connecting the major adjacent sky regions.

It's just like taking a train, you just need to go one stop at a time, but you need to transfer at each stop.

As for the prisoner star ship, Zhong Qing was not worried.

After learning about the existence of the alien void, Zhong Qing knew that wherever he went would be like a human-shaped positioning point. After arriving, he could turn back through the alien void and drive the prisoner star ship over again.

This will even be beneficial to Zhong Qing's future activities.

Wherever he goes, the system can record his coordinates and transmit them through the void in the future.

There is no need to worry about going too far in the starry sky and not being able to return to the Ninth Heaven.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing was in a good mood and said to the system in his heart: "So this strange void is really a good place. I don't know how it was formed."

“Is it natural?”

Judging from previous experience, the star gate teleportation arrays spread across the major planets are essentially the use of the alien void.

It’s like having two fixed nodes that can be connected and exited at any time.

If we only rely on ordinary teleportation arrays, it is almost impossible to teleport trillions of miles. Even if it is possible, the spiritual power it consumes is astronomical, and it may not be enough even if we drain an entire star.

And trillions of miles in the starry sky is really a very small scale.

Although he still didn't understand the history of the outside world, Zhong Qing could see that the reason why the civilization of the immortal world in the starry sky could be so developed and its sphere of influence covered the entire starry sky was inseparable from the role of this star gate teleportation array.

If there were no Yixukong, even after hundreds of millions of years, it would be impossible to expand the sphere of influence to such a vast area as the Xuqi Immortal Area today.

He just asked casually, but the system gave a response.

【According to previous detections in the Alien Void, the Alien Void was formed less than 200 million years ago.】

"Two hundred million years?"

Zhong Qing was stunned.

The alien void appeared less than 200 million years ago?

Don't think 200 million years seems like a long time.

Zhong Qing himself is only over a hundred years old now, including the part where time has accelerated. Two hundred million years is equivalent to a million of him.

But no matter inside or outside the Nine Heavens, any True Immortal may have lived for millions or even tens of millions of years.

For a strong person who has ascended to the level of a True Lord, it is entirely possible for him to practice for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years.

Not to mention that any planet in the starry sky may be tens or even hundreds of billions of years old.

Compared to the universe and the starry sky, 200 million years is really not a long time.

In such a contrast, the alien void seemed to appear suddenly.

But according to the system, this is an alien space that coexists with the entire universe.

How could something like this suddenly appear?

"System, can you tell me how the alien void appeared?"

He asked subconsciously.

The system responds.

[Insufficient intelligence, unable to infer, host, please continue to collect intelligence. ]

Zhong Qing shrugged.

as predicted.

But he was just curious about it and had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

It has nothing to do with him anyway. As long as it is useful, why bother about it?

At this time, Zhong Qing turned around and asked Dongfang Huairen how to get to the Jinyutian area.

Before Dongfang Huairen could answer, Cang Xuanming, who was standing next to him with sharp ears, heard it and hurriedly spoke up.

"Master! The Jinyu Immortal Area is located in the center of the Immortal Arm Area."

"You can't go to the Minghaitian District. If you want to go, you have to go to our Qingyangtian District."

Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow: "Oh, your Qingyang District has a star gate to the Jinyu District?"

Cang Xuanming shook his head and said, "Of course not. Our Qingyang District is actually also a border district, just a little further in than the Minghai District."

"But my Qingyang region is rich in products, and there are countless merchants traveling to and from all corners of the starry sky."

"Some of them are even merchants coming from the Celestial Region, the central region of the Immortal Spirit. They must have a shortcut to get there and back. Otherwise, coming from the central region, they would have to pass through hundreds of Celestial Regions and pass through thousands of Star Gates. The little they earn from going back and forth probably wouldn't even be enough to cover the tolls and customs duties."

Zhong Qing laughed when he heard this: "So there are tariffs in the starry sky too."

At the same time, Lu Changxing shook his head and said, "Master, what you said is true. Maintaining the star gate also requires a considerable amount of expenditure. The major celestial regions are each under the control of different forces, so naturally they have to collect these."

"Of course, the forces in each major region are different, and what they receive is also different."

"Junior Brother Cang is right. Those merchants definitely know the fastest way to get there."

Zhong Qing nodded: "Okay, in that case, let's go to Qingyangtian District."

Cang Xuanming was immediately delighted when he heard this.

Previously, the sect leader asked him to find a way to invite his master to visit Hao Xuan Sect.

Cang Xuanming was still thinking of finding an excuse, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

Dongfang Huairen was a little reluctant.

"Master...are you leaving now? You have been so kind to our Minghai Sect, and I haven't had the chance to repay you yet."

Zhong Qing smiled indifferently.

"All three of you have become my disciples. Why would you ask for anything in return?"

"But I'm not in a rush for the next day or two. Let me finish reading the books and materials that were just sent to me first."

Dongfang Huairen was delighted when he heard this: "Yes, Master, please have a good rest in my sect these few days."

"Disciple, please excuse me. I have some matters to attend to within the sect. This formation is broken. If it is not repaired, it will be detrimental to the safety of our Minghai Sect. Disciple needs to go and take charge of it."
