With a buzz, the Beast Lair in front of Ye Xuan shone, and the Treasure Snail Image disappeared in a second.

When it showed up again, it was in the Beast Lair beyond the Galaxy.

“It works as I thought!”

A gleam of excitement flashed across Ye Xuan’s eyes when he had seen that.

He knew he would be able to travel between the Galaxy and the extragalactic world at will.

Whoosh!

So, he stopped hesitating. He shifted his consciousness to transmit himself.

Then a chaotic force wrapped him.

Soon, he showed up in the Beast Lair beyond the Galaxy.

Standing in that Beast Lair, Ye Xuan lifted his head and sensed Yan Qi’s presence outside right away. The Seal Beast and the clones of the Tidal Treasure Snail were also there.

“This is the world beyond the Galaxy?”

Ye Xuan’s eyes were shining with excitement after arrival. Then he shifted his consciousness to get himself out of the Beast Lair. He showed up in front of Yan Qi.

“Lor… Lord?”

Ye Xuan’s sudden appearance struck Yan Qi dumb. He had not expected to see Ye Xuan there.

He had been ignorant of what Ye Xuan intended to do.

But by then, he had realized what all that was about.

He realized what the Seal Beast had taken there was something similar to a transmission formation.

He was quite shocked.

Because even the transmission formations of the Taien Empire could not realize a transmission between the Galaxy and other galaxies. He wondered how Ye Xuan had managed to do that.

What exactly did the Seal Beast merge into the air?

“Is this place a part of the Taien Empire?”

Looking at Yan Qi, Ye Xuan asked.

“Yes, it is. This place is called the Deserted Star Sea.”

Yan Qi answered him right away.

“The Deserted Star Sea?”

Looking around, Ye Xuan nodded. Then, with a gleam in his eyes, Ye Xuan said, “Tell me everything about the Heavenly Universe and the Taien Empire.”

“Sure!”

Yan Qi responded. Then he told Ye Xuan everything he knew.

Standing in the air, Ye Xuan was listening to Yan Qi attentively.

He needed to know the Heavenly Universe well enough to figure out a way to expand the Great Xia Alliance beyond the Galaxy.

“Thirteen Emperor-level forces…”

Thanks to Yan Qi’s recount, Ye Xuan finally knew the Heavenly Universe a lot better a while later.

He learned that this area was called the Tianyuan Star Zone.

Empires such as the Taien Empire and the Empire of the Rising Sun were all Emperor-level forces in a galaxy of the Tianyuan Star Zone.

“Two Emperor-level powerhouses.”

Then, Ye Xuan knew from Yan Qi that empires such as the Taien Empire and the Empire of the Rising Sun all had two Emperor-level Beast Tamers.

He shook his head at the information. He decided not to deal with those empires for the moment.

The Seal Beast could only enslave three Emperor-level Beast Tamers at the moment.

If he attacked powerful empires such as the Taien Empire and the Empire of the Rising Sun, he would need two slave seals to take over each one of them.

That was against his interest.

In such circumstances, he would rather deal with weaker forces with only one Emperor-level Beast Tamer.

In that way, he would only need one slave seal to take over an empire and get a lot of Luck.

If he could gain enough Luck Points, he would enhance the Seal Beast’s level to the Emperor level.

Then it would be easy-peasy for him to take control over the entire Tianyuan Star Zone.

“The Ancient Nether Empire!”

With that plan in mind, Ye Xuan determined his target very soon — the Ancient Nether Empire.

The Ancient Nether Empire was a neighbouring country of the Taien Empire.

The strongest person in that empire was called the Lord of the Ancient Nether.

He was said to be a Beast Tamer on the intermediate Emperor level.

“The intermediate Emperor level.”

Ye Xuan got a map of the starry sky from Yan Qi. Then he headed for the Ancient Nether Empire right away.

Seeing Ye Xuan leaving, Yan Qi put on a look hard to read.

He had foreseen that the peace of the Tianyuan Star Zone would be gone.

“What happened?”

At the same time, in the Ancient Nether Empire, Ming Yu, a Starlight-level Beast Tamer that had been enslaved by the Seal Beast, suddenly received a message from the Seal Beast.

He was told to go in a direction.

He took the message seriously and found an excuse to leave the Ancient Nether Empire right away. He went in the direction indicated by the Seal Beast at a high speed.

The starry sky was boundless.

Although the Galaxy was the centre of the Heavenly Universe, the Taien Galaxy and the Ancient Nether Galaxy were bigger than it in size.

The two galaxies did not get along well, so there was no transmission formation between them.

Besides, there was a large buffer zone between the two galaxies. Because of all that, it even took Ye Xuan several days to travel to the Ancient Nether Galaxy from the Taien Galaxy.

In that process, he used the Beast Lair to go back to the Cerulean Planet a few times to soothe Lin Shiru so that she would not worry.

He also passed by many planets with life in the starry sky these days.

And he visited them for curiosity.

But he did not do anything there.

“Here is good!”

Not long after he arrived in the Ancient Nether Galaxy, he chose a place to set up another of his Beast Lairs.

It was too time-consuming to travel a long way across the starry sky.

He was going to leave a few spare Beast Lairs of his in different parts of the Tianyuan Star Zone so that he could save some time in travel.

Whoosh!

A man flew over from far away soon after he set up a Beast Lair in the starry sky.

“Lord.”

Ming Yu was as shocked as Yan Qi when he had seen Ye Xuan.

He had never thought Ye Xuan would leave the Galaxy and come to the extragalactic world.

“Ming Yu, I’m going to attack the Lord of the Ancient Nether. Do you have any suggestions for me?”

Looking at Ming Yu, Ye Xuan made his intention clear to the former without beating about the bush.

Ye Xuan wanted to attack the Lord of the Ancient Nether, but he was not going to challenge the latter on the latter’s territory.

After all, the Lord of the Ancient Nether must have set up all kinds of traps on his territory.

Ye Xuan would be too reckless if he went there.

It would catch attention, too.

But he did not want to draw any attention for the moment.

“Attack the Lord of the Ancient Nether?”

Ming Yu was shocked. He fixed his eyes on the Seal Beast in Ye Xuan’s arms. “Lord is your beast…”

Ye Xuan threw Ming Yu a sharp look right away.

“Excuse me, Lord!”

That look scared the wits out of Ming Yu. He added, “Lord if you want to attack the Lord of the Ancient Nether, I can try to lure him onto the Dark Captive Planet.”

“The Dark Captive Planet?”

“That’s right. The Dark Captive Planet is an ancient planet at the edge of the Ancient Nether Galaxy. There is an ancient relic on it. The Lord always wants to excavate that relic, and he almost succeeded. But after the merge of the imperial world a thousand years ago, a relic from the imperial world was merged with it.”

“The Dark Captive Planet has experienced a lot of changes in the past few years. One of my responsibilities is to observe the Dark Captive Planet. As long as I tell the Lord of the Ancient Nether that there is a new change, he will certainly go there.”

Ming Yu explained to Ye Xuan.

“Is that so? Well, let’s do it.”

Ye Xuan thought for a while and then nodded.

Then he let Ming Yu lead him the way to the Dark Captive Planet.

He wanted to check the place out first.
