Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

But the facts told Jiang Hao that this was not the case.

Jiang Hao had just used his divine sense to investigate, and the specific situation here was somewhat different from his hometown in his previous life.

There were no familiar people or things, as if it were truly just a coincidence.

This situation is indeed possible.

A model of a galaxy that appears similarly by chance, formed in the boundless universe where matter and gravity follow similar laws.

The universe is so vast that it is not surprising that any wonders could be born.

But to this extent...

It still stirred up an indescribable emotion in Jiang Hao's heart.

Jiang Hao sighed softly, refocused, and his gaze became serious, no longer carrying any preconceived emotions.

From the perspective of a practitioner exploring the path to the fifth incarnation, let's re-examine this seemingly ordinary galaxy.

This time, Jiang Hao observed with utmost care and patience.

Time passed little by little.

At first, everything seemed normal, but as the investigation deepened, Jiang Hao's brows gradually furrowed.

He discovered something deeply hidden around this galaxy.

After immersing his mind in a state of resonance with the Great Dao, Jiang Hao saw what was hidden here.

This is an extremely sophisticated array, resembling a gigantic eggshell that envelops the entire galaxy.

The light membrane was covered with indescribable and complex patterns, which were not the array runes popular in this era, or even in the past few eras he knew.

Rather, it is a trace of something much older.

These runes operate silently, drawing upon a rare yet ancient energy from the depths of space to sustain the grand formation.

The level of this formation is frighteningly high!

With Jiang Hao's current cultivation level and vision, he almost got fooled by it if he hadn't investigated carefully!

"This is no grand formation that could be set up by humans; it must have been painstakingly created by a being at least at the True Immortal level, or perhaps even higher!"

Jiang Hao thought to himself that he was certain of this. After years of learning from Lingbao Tianzun, Jiang Hao's mastery of formations was not weak.

So this is perfectly obvious!

Moreover, the function of this great formation is different from that of ordinary formations; it is neither used for attacking nor for trapping enemies.

It has only one function: protection and concealment.

It acts like an invisible filter, weakening the sense of presence of powerful external forces within.

This causes powerful individuals passing by to subconsciously overlook this place, perceiving it as merely a barren and uninteresting corner, thus preventing them from paying attention to it.

The stronger the person, the more obvious the effect!

At the same time, it also limits the excessive outflow of spiritual energy from within the galaxy.

It subtly regulates the internal environment to maintain a low-consumption and stable state.

"Why is there such a large formation here? Who set it up?"

Who on earth would set up such a magnificent array in this remote corner of the universe, just to protect such an ordinary-looking galaxy?

What secrets does this galaxy, or rather, that blue planet within it, hold that warrant such treatment?

And why specifically place this in a place similar to the solar system?

Jiang Hao was deeply moved; this discovery shocked him even more than seeing a scene that resembled the solar system.

The guidance of the bronze bell has never been simple.

The previous visit to the Chaotic Ancient Ruins allowed him to obtain the follow-up to a mysterious cultivation technique and glimpse a corner of that era.

Is this time related to the chaos of antiquity again? What is the origin of the bronze bell? And what is its connection to all of this?

Why do bronze bells have the ability to discover all sorts of mysterious things?

Jiang Hao stared at the immortal-level array light membrane that was imperceptible to the naked eye and ordinary divine sense.

The gaze seemed to pierce through it, to see the truth guarded within.

"Since we're here, let's take a look around."

Jiang Hao suppressed the turmoil in his heart and strode towards that solar system.

There's no point in thinking about it too much. Since we're here, let's take a look first.

Jiang Hao first arrived at the surface of that sun.

The blazing flames surged, their temperature enough to melt anything. But to Jiang Hao, it was like lukewarm water.

He walked through the flames, looking at the plasma flowing beneath his feet, and suddenly remembered a dream from his past life: to ascend to the sun.

At that time, it seemed like a fantasy.

Now it's easy.

"It feels like a dream..." Jiang Hao shook his head and chuckled.

Jiang Hao walked around the surface of the sun and then dived inside.

At its core are terrifying high pressures and nuclear fusion reactions, but apart from these natural phenomena, there is nothing else.

There was no sun palace as imagined, no cultivators practicing the Great Dao of the Sun, and no golden crows.

"Does this mean I've fulfilled my long-held dream?"

Jiang Hao left the sun and arrived at that giant gas planet, similar to Jupiter.

This planet is truly terrifying; its surface is covered in ceaseless storms, with the largest eye large enough to contain several Earths.

The internal pressure increases layer by layer, and at the core it can even crush stars.

Jiang Hao took a stroll around inside.

Aside from the extreme environment and some peculiar elemental reactions, there are still no signs of life, let alone extraterrestrial civilizations.

"Looks like it's just an ordinary star."

Finally, Jiang Hao arrived in front of that azure planet.

Earth.

Or rather, a planet like Earth.

Looking down from the starry sky, he could see the familiar outline of the continent, the blue ocean, and the white clouds.

Even the distribution of the continents was eight or nine parts similar to the Earth in his memory.

Jiang Hao fell silent.

After a long while, he slowly descended, passed through the atmosphere, and landed on this land.

The ground beneath my feet is mud, and the gravity is about the same.

In the distance, mountains rise and fall, rivers meander, trees are green, and flowers and grasses are colorful.

Everything felt so familiar.

Jiang Hao walked through the mountains and forests, spreading out his divine sense.

This planet has humans and civilization, but it's still stuck in ancient times.

Jiang Hao saw farming villages, ancient cities, horse-drawn carriages, and sailboats.

There are cultivators, but their cultivation levels are very low. The strongest among them is only at the Fourth Extreme Realm, and their numbers are few.

Most cultivators linger in the Sea of ​​Wheels realm, while those in the Dao Palace realm can dominate a region.

"The spiritual energy is too weak."

Jiang Hao sensed the concentration of spiritual energy in the world, which was only about one ten-thousandth of that of life-bearing planets like the Big Dipper.

No wonder cultivation civilization is underdeveloped.

He toured several cities, listened to the conversations among the common people, and looked at the goods in the markets.

Although the languages ​​are different, their lifestyles and social structures are very similar to those of ancient China.

Walking on the bluestone path and looking at the ancient buildings on both sides, Jiang Hao felt a sense of inexplicable peace.

It felt like I was back home.

"If Earth had a cultivation civilization, it would probably look like this," Jiang Hao murmured to himself, standing on a stone bridge and looking at the flowing water below.

At this moment, Jiang Hao set aside his identity as the Heavenly Emperor and his powerful cultivation, becoming like an ordinary traveler who had found familiar scenery in a foreign land.

I learned from the locals that the planet was called Dilan Star.

Jiang Hao spent three months traveling on this planet, Di Lan.

I have traveled to four continents and four oceans, and seen all kinds of mountains, rivers and lakes.

Sometimes he would transform into an ordinary person, listening to storytelling in a teahouse, drinking in a tavern, and watching farmers work in the fields.

It was very peaceful and comfortable.

It's practically a training version of Earth.

Cultivation on the planet Di Lan is somewhat different from that in the outside world; the mainstream cultivation here is divine cultivation.

Cultivators are worshipped as gods, receive offerings, and then protect those who are worshipped.

Jiang Hao watched silently, without trying to force a change.

Finally, on the night of the full moon in the third month, Jiang Hao arrived at the destination guided by the bronze bell: the Earth's core!
