Guan Yue was blown into the dark space, and he knew this was the spatial passage, also known as the Starting Path. The Starting Path was formed during the chaos of creation, making it the most stable spatial channel. There was essentially no danger here. So, Guan Yue released the women from Sky Peak Tower.
Now, they all had to be released; otherwise, their souls would be extinguished in Sky Peak Tower. As soon as Ouyang Shaohua and the others emerged, they held hands, which was part of the training given to them by the Western Celestial Law Ancestor. This way, they had a final chance to say goodbye.
The women tightly embraced Guan Yue, remaining silent as they felt each other's heartbeats. Guan Yue kissed each of his women one by one, feeling an immense sense of reluctance in his heart.
It was unclear how much time had passed when they finally reached the exit of the passage, signaling that it was time to part.
The women waved goodbye to Guan Yue.
In front of them appeared a giant funnel-shaped opening. Having undergone training from the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, they knew they were about to be ejected, and it would be a very forceful ejection. Even the Little Ancestor Saint's cultivation could not withstand such force and would be directly thrown out! That was why the Western Celestial Law Ancestor emphasized that one must reach the Supreme Divine Realm before entering Upper Space.
As they were about to enter the funnel, Guan Yue shouted, "I'll go first; we will meet again. Make sure to wait for our reunion!"
Saying this, Guan Yue used all his strength while simultaneously employing three colors of Primordial Power and Power of Spatial Competition to resist the pull from the passage. This was the most important point that the Western Celestial Law Ancestor had told him. As someone who had obtained Ultimate Light, he had to be the first to emerge, and his landing spot was calculated by Heaven. If he followed that pull, he would land exactly at a location designed for him by Heaven and become its captive.
At this moment, Guan Yue's struggle aimed to break free from that pull and change direction so he could land elsewhere. Although there was only a slight angle here, after being ejected, it would result in a significant distance apart.
The saying "a slight deviation leads to a thousand-mile error" perfectly illustrates this concept.
With Guan Yue's powerful struggle, his Source Energy surged forth, deviating greatly from its original direction until he was finally ejected.
During the subsequent ejection, all the women were instructed to exert force in one direction. This was specifically required by the Western Celestial Law Ancestor during training; the purpose was to ensure their landing spots were as close as possible for mutual support.
Meanwhile, Lu Qing also entered the Starting Path alongside Guan Yue. He released those he brought with him within the Starting Path, including Fire Red Girl Hu Hui, Little Red Fish, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, Dongfang Yu, Miao Fang, Fang Buchang, and more than twenty others. He believed these individuals were rare talents; particularly Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and Little Red Fish were worth special cultivation. He specifically instructed everyone that after entering Dragon Python Celestial Domain, they must quickly find Tai Dou Pavilion for systematic training to enhance their Combat Power as soon as possible.
He felt very disappointed about Mu Huaiyin not fulfilling her promise; he knew well about the uses of Mosha Bone. That truly was a valuable item.
Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, Little Red Fish, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, Dongfang Yu, and Miao Fang all nodded immediately.
Then, they entered the mouth of the trumpet and shot out in different directions.
Following them, Western Celestial Law Ancestor, Ruyi Girl, Lu Ziang, Futian, and Sima Xiaosa also entered the mouth of the trumpet one after another, shooting off in various directions.
On the edge of a vast sea, there was a small fishing village. This village had only about twenty households and over three hundred people, all relying on fishing for their livelihood.
Today was another day for fishing boats to go out to sea.
At this time, all the villagers gathered at the shore. Their loved ones were going out to catch fish again. Each time they went out to sea, some would never return. So every time they came to send off their loved ones, those staying at home were anxious, fearing that this time they might never see their family members' faces again.
Those left at home were mostly the elderly, weak, sick, and women and children.
Thirteen-year-old Dog Shengzi watched helplessly as his father left on the boat. He felt very frustrated; he was already thirteen and could participate in fishing trips. However, the boatman disagreed, fearing that Dog Shengzi would not be able to help and would only take away from others' shares.
Angry and upset, Dog Shengzi could only sulk alone as he walked aimlessly along the beach. He accidentally kicked a shiny stone with his foot, and with a thud, it hit someone’s body and made a crisp sound.
Who could this be? Why are they sleeping here? And why is their body so hard?
Dog Shengzi hurried over to take a look; surprisingly, this person was not from the village.
In the past, there had been instances of people washed ashore by the waves, but they were all corpses. Upon closer inspection, Dog Shengzi realized that this person did not come from the sea.
People living by the sea knew that those who drowned would have their bellies filled with seawater and their limbs marked by wet spots from the saltwater. But this person showed none of those signs; only the part submerged in water appeared slightly paler. It seemed they had just arrived here recently; most likely, they had been injured by someone and discarded here.
Dog Shengzi looked around carefully for a long time but found no unfamiliar boats or people.
He reached out to touch the person's nose and found that he was still breathing. Dog Shengzi shook his hands; this person actually woke up.
At that moment, Dog Shengzi realized that this was an older brother, only a few years older than himself. So, Dog Shengzi curiously asked, "Brother, how did you end up here? Did a bad person throw you here? Tell me who did it, and I'll have the villagers help you."
Of course, the one who had fallen by the seaside was Guan Yue. At this moment, he was in a daze, wondering how he had ended up by the sea. Looking at this half-grown child, Guan Yue asked, "Little friend, what is this place?"
Seeing that he didn't answer his question, Dog Shengzi thought he might have been hit on the head and replied, "Big brother, we are in Haiga Village. There are over three hundred people here. Tell me who threw you here; we will help you take revenge."
"Oh, it's Haiga Village. Little brother, I wasn't thrown here by anyone; I was blown here by the wind." Guan Yue had no choice but to make up an excuse since this child kept asking him questions.
Who would have thought that the little fox would be surprised: "What? You also encountered a Tornado? We faced a Tornado two years ago and lost over fifty people; otherwise, our village would have had more than four hundred people. Our village is quite large. From now on, you can live in our village. At your age, you can go out to sea to fish or even get married; it's really great."
As he spoke, tears of frustration welled up in Dog Shengzi's eyes again as he recalled the unfair treatment he had suffered: the captain wouldn't let him go out to sea to fish.
"I can go out to sea to fish?" Guan Yue felt a surge of joy inside; going out to sea to fish could be worth a try! He wanted to see if he could demonstrate his strength on the ocean within the Dragon Python Celestial Domain because Guan Yue felt a strange sense of pressure pressing down on him right after waking up. He knew this pressure wasn't man-made but rather an inherent suppression of Disciples by the natural order of heaven and earth.
Now, Guan Yue was very worried that he might not be able to exert even half of his Combat Power from Yongning Continent. Therefore, he wanted to find a place to test how much Combat Power he could still unleash so that he could determine his future course of action—knowing how much Great Power one has is essential for knowing what one can accomplish.
He had once heard about this from the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, but only after experiencing it personally did he truly understand how formidable the suppression of Disciples was in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain!
All of this was orchestrated by the heavenly court.
Dog Shengzi was very enthusiastic about Guan Yue; it was his first time encountering an outsider, especially an older brother. To him, this was a significant event. So he kept persuading Guan Yue to come to their village. Since the men in their village were very hardworking and went out to sea year-round, they had no problem with food.
Guan Yue also thought about going to the village to learn some things, so he agreed to Dog Shengzi's request and followed him toward the village. Along the way, the sea breeze was gentle and the waves were light; the coastal scenery captivated Guan Yue immensely.
As they approached the village entrance, many curious eyes turned toward Guan Yue. Although his clothes were tattered and disheveled, there was an innate aura of leadership about him that made him stand out. His calmness and natural demeanor were ingrained in his bones, making it impossible for others to ignore him.
An elderly man immediately called out, "Dog Shengzi, bring your friend over so we can have a good look at him."
Dog Shengzi happily replied, "Great-Grandfather, we'll be right there."
Dog Shengzi then introduced Guan Yue, saying, "Great-Grandfather is our village's Great-Grandfather. He was the Old Village Chief, and now the village head is his son. But he still has a say in our village. Young man, go have a good talk with him; he will agree to let you go to sea in the future. Once you go to sea, you can earn money and find a wife."
Dog Shengzi wanted to go to sea to make money! He was only thirteen and already wanted to set sail!
Guan Yue followed Dog Shengzi toward the village head, Great-Grandfather. At first glance, the Old Village Chief appeared to be around sixty years old, very robust, and likely had at least thirty more years of life ahead of him. It was wise of him to step down from the position of village head. However, Guan Yue sensed a dismissive attitude in his expression towards everything around him.
Guan Yue stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Great-Grandfather, I am Guan Yue; I apologize for disturbing you."
The Old Village Chief scrutinized Guan Yue for a moment before asking sternly, "Guan Young Master, where do you come from? Something must have happened to cause you distress."
Guan Yue quickly thought on his feet and replied, "Great-Grandfather, what place is this? I seem to be a bit confused all of a sudden. I just experienced a strong impact and feel a bit muddled about some things."
"Guan Young Master, we are in the Ocean Harmony Empire. And you are?" Great-Grandfather asked with confusion.
Guan Yue tentatively inquired, "Is the Waydao Empire far from here?"
"Ah? So you are from the Waydao Empire? How did you end up here?" Great-Grandfather's face showed signs of great surprise.
