Ian Song formed a seal with both hands, and the formation in the valley surged wildly. A passage appeared beneath everyone's feet.
"Seniors, please follow me."
Ian Song gestured for them to proceed.
After passing through the long passage, they saw two towering bronze gates, radiating an ancient and solemn aura that made all five Fusion patriarchs tense inwardly.
"Boom!"
The two gates swung open.
For a moment, all five Fusion patriarchs widened their eyes. They had imagined what lay beyond the gates, but the reality left them deeply shocked.
What they saw was a starry universe—such a close view of the cosmos was indescribably awe-inspiring, especially with countless twinkling stars and rivers of starlight crossing the dark expanse. The spectacle was like a peerless painting.
Beautiful. Astonishing.
The next moment, Ian Song stepped through the gates first, entering the starry sky.
"Please, seniors!"
Ian Song beckoned to the five Fusion patriarchs.
One by one, the five Fusion patriarchs stepped inside. They released their Yuanshen to sense the starry sky, but quickly realized how tiny they felt—like a drop in the ocean, a grain of sand in the desert.
"Boom!"
The gates closed, and the five patriarchs felt as if they'd entered another vast, boundless world.
Suddenly, a powerful and irresistible force enveloped the five Fusion patriarchs. Alarmed, they erupted with true essence, trying to break free, but even at full strength, they couldn't budge the force at all.
Soon, the force wrapping around them faded away, and they found themselves standing on a primitive planet.
"Seniors, this planet is enormous. You can choose any spot to cultivate!" Ian Song's voice rang out again.
Hearing Ian Song's words, the five Fusion patriarchs finally snapped out of their daze.
Shaoyang Chen hesitated and asked, "Ian, that force that wrapped around us just now—what was it?"
