Chapter 9: The Ancient Path of the Starry Sky

As for the coordinates of the Yuheng Ancient Starry Sky Station, it is said that only Qin Zheng himself and his first cavalry general are aware of them. Therefore, for six years, even the Qin family has been unable to send anyone to search for it

After all, regardless of which feudal lord it is, waging war in the ancient world is ultimately to serve the dynasty and expand its territory—at least in name.

Moreover, which lord does not fear becoming lost in the ancient times or the ancient paths of the stars? One can harm others, and others can also harm oneself. Thus, over time, it has become a common understanding that no one is allowed to resort to underhanded tactics in such matters

In the Qianyuan world, there are several starry sky stations, including the Reincarnation Hall and the Star Palace, and the demon clan also has its own starry sky station. The largest one, without a doubt, is the altar in the square of the Great Xia royal city

No, no... The Lady of the Qin Marquis came back to her senses from the overwhelming joy, rubbed her forehead, and said: "Yes, for those who have not returned from the ancient world of war, many cannot truly assert their demise. However, once they are forever lost and unable to return, it is equivalent to... sigh, of course, this can also be considered a good thing. Even if your father cannot come back, we still hope that he can continue to live well in the ancient world. Knowing this, at least I feel much better in my heart." Even if your father cannot come back, we still hope that he can continue to live well in the ancient world. Knowing this, at least I feel much better in my heart.

However, Qin Zheng has disappeared, and there has been no news since. Even with heavy losses, it should not be the case that not a single cavalry commander can return. Therefore, this matter seems quite strange, almost like a mystery

What?

At the outset, Qin Zheng personally waged war in what was said to be a brand new small ancient world, which the Qin family referred to as "Yuheng Ancient." This was a discovery made solely by the Qin family, and they possessed the only ancient coordinate within Yuheng Ancient. Therefore, the discovery of this new world instantly transformed the Qin family into the largest nouveau riche—having sole control over the terrifying resources of an ancient world!

Six years ago, Qin Zheng set out from the Starry Sky Post of the Great Xia Royal City with his twenty-seven riders, igniting the fire of transmission to embark on a journey to a brand new ancient world. However, unexpectedly, there has been no news for six years, and just a few days ago, even the fire of transmission was extinguished

Upon hearing these words, the entire family was utterly shocked, and they were soon enveloped by a fervent sense of excitement

At this moment, Qin Yang carefully put away the Qin Blood Jade and said via WeChat: "That is to say, my father and the others are the true foundation of the Qin family. As long as they are still alive, the Qin family can rise again at any moment!"

The various armies of the Qianyuan world have been engaged in continuous battles in the ancient world for countless years, expanding their respective territories. However, this ancient world is not a singular location, but rather a collective term for all the peculiar small worlds.

As for entering the Primordial World from the Qianyuan World, it is necessary to ignite the "Starry Sky Station" and light the "Fire of Transmission" in order to embark on those mysterious ancient paths of the starry sky. Each Starry Sky Station has its own coordinates, which are what Qin Yang referred to as the Primordial Coordinates. Without these coordinates, one would become lost in the ancient paths of the starry sky.

However, Qin Yang said with some concern, "In order to find my father's whereabouts, I must first locate his exact position now and determine his 'ancient coordinates'"

Regarding these matters that have long been made public, both Qin Yang and Lady Qin Hou are aware, and Qin Xing and Qin Xu are generally informed as well

Once the fire of transmission is extinguished, it signifies that the ancient starry path of Qin Zheng has been severed. Therefore, even if Qin Zheng is not dead, he can only remain eternally lost

... ...

Qin Yang said in a suppressed voice: "According to my master's speculation, perhaps when my father and the others entered the Ancient Star Road through the Starry Sky Post of the Great Xia Royal City, someone tampered with it!"

Even now, there are already several known ancient worlds, some with a radius of several thousand miles, and others with territories spanning ten thousand miles

If it is truly possible to accomplish this task, to bring back Qin Zheng and the twenty-seven cavalry generals, and once again assert dominance over this world... then, what kind of terror and tremors would the people of the entire Qianyuan world experience? Or perhaps, what kind of sorrow and regret would they be engulfed in?

This, of course, also aroused the envy and resentment of other feudal lords, which is an inevitable occurrence

Heavens... the Lady of the Qin Marquis was nearly stunned with fright

The Qin family was originally stronger than the other feudal lords, and if they were to continuously extract benefits from the ancient realm of Yuheng, given time, their strength would surely leave the other feudal lords far behind!

It is said that four thousand years ago, during the time of the Han Dynasty, there was an instance when someone conspired against a rival as they entered the ancient path of the stars. As a result, the plot was exposed. Consequently, the lord who orchestrated the scheme was jointly killed by the dynasty and the lords of the realm, and all male members of his family were exterminated, with ten clans being wiped out. More than one thousand female relatives were sold into prostitution. Within the residence, corpses piled like mountains and blood flowed like rivers, while in the sealed territory, there was not a single crowing rooster for a thousand miles

Since then, no one has dared to take such a grave risk and meddle in such matters.

This is something that no one dares to even think about

Heavens, could it be that through this thing, one can actually forcibly bring back those lost in the ancient wilderness? ... This ...! ... Perhaps only sacred places like the Hall of Reincarnation or the Palace of Stars could possess such astonishing and defiant means

According to the information left by the Qin dynasty during its reign, it is stated that the Yuheng Wilderness is not very large, measuring only three thousand li in both length and width, and there are no powerful indigenous inhabitants. Therefore, it should have been relatively easy to conquer. With the terrifying strength of the Qin dynasty and its twenty-seven cavalry generals, it should have taken no more than three years to sweep across the entire Yuheng Wilderness.

If anyone dares to tamper with the Ancient Starry Road, the dynasty will surely rally the lords of the world to jointly launch a campaign against them. Such despicable acts will provoke the most sensitive nerves of any faction and breach the tolerance threshold of any power.

However, now, Qin Yang's teacher suspects that during Qin Zheng's campaign in the ancient realm of Yuheng, someone tampered with the ancient path of the starry sky

Stepping into the ancient path of the starry sky is, in fact, an extremely perilous endeavor. A moment's carelessness or a miscalculation of coordinates could result in eternal loss

Qin Yang's teacher is undoubtedly a powerful figure with extraordinary abilities. Since this person has determined that there are hidden circumstances regarding the matter, it must be quite complex. Therefore, upon hearing these words, Lady Qin and the two children could not help but tremble all over.

However, Qin Yang let out a hearty laugh, tightly gripping the "Qin Blood Jade," and said solemnly: "No! My teacher once asserted that this Qin Blood Jade is far from simple. Even if my father is lost in the ancient wilderness, through certain means, perhaps I can still use this Qin Blood Jade to find him—though the hope is very slim"

Ancient coordinates

Any lord, if able to occupy more territory and seize more heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the ancient world, will naturally enhance their own strength. Therefore, the Great Xia Dynasty, various lords, as well as the Reincarnation Palace, the Star Palace, and even the demon clans of the Qianyuan World, have never ceased their steps of external expansion

This feeling of excitement lasted for a long time, and even Lady Qin and Qin Xu wept for a long time. They also understood that although there was a glimmer of hope in finding Qin Zheng, it was ultimately just a glimmer. However, in the hearts of the family, even a glimmer of hope for survival would be magnified tenfold or a hundredfold.

Therefore, even if any two vassal states have an irreconcilable enmity, they are absolutely not allowed to interfere with or disrupt each other when entering the Ancient Starry Road—this is the iron law of the Qianyuan world, which even dynasties will not break. Moreover, the Great Xia Dynasty is the most resolute and neutral overseer.

Over time, everyone came to believe that such events would never occur, and they almost forgot about this hidden danger

As for the youngest, the girl Qin Xu, at this moment, could not help but sob. Indeed, although her father would not return, at least knowing that he was still alive provided a great comfort to the family

... ...

However, Qin Yang's tone was somber as he furrowed his brows and said, "According to my master's speculation, there may be hidden circumstances involved."
