Chapter 207: Brilliant Starry Sea

The Eight Trigrams are the most mystical and ancient profound thing in this world.

Among the excavated cultural relics, people discovered that the pattern of the Eight Trigrams had already existed during the Stone Age when knotting was used for recording.

It is difficult to imagine that the Eight Trigrams had already appeared in that ancient time when people's wisdom had not yet blossomed.

The most ancient Inherited Eight Trigrams, according to legends, was created by the great god Fu Xi, also known as Fu Xi Eight Trigrams.

However, Lu Heng didn't have any research on the way of the Book of Changes in his previous life, and had a lack of cognitive about the Eight Trigrams.

Even after achieving enlightenment, the cultivator's spiritual wisdom will greatly awaken and he will be able to recall every memory that is buried deep in his mind from childhood, including the feeling of leaving the amniotic fluid as a baby, the first poop and urine after being born, the breath of sleeping in his mother's arms during full moon, and the laughter when riding on his father's neck at the age of one… These memories that ordinary people can never recall are all clear in the cultivator's mind.

Not to mention the pages of books he has read, and the strangers he has passed by… Even though Lu Heng didn't deliberately try to remember, his current level of cultivation allows him to effortlessly remember these memories.

However, such a vast store of knowledge doesn't allow one to create things that have not been experienced.

Therefore, Lu Heng, who had not studied the art of Yi Jing in his past life, could only barely recognize that the eight trigrams on this stone gate were the pre-heavenly trigrams, rumored to be related to Fu Xi.

However, he could not judge what the specific pattern of the trigram represented.

The only thing that can be certain is that this ancient stone gate must be related to that ancient deity.

On the back of the ray, Lu Heng's eyes fixed on the enormous Eight Trigrams symbol. After staring at it for a while, he felt as though the symbol had come alive and was staring back at him.

At this moment, they had already arrived in front of a massive stone gate.

The Mermaid general who led them had arrived earlier and tapped a groove beneath the stone gate with a piece of jade.

The voice of the Mermaid inside the gate could be heard, speaking in Mermaid language, which Lu Heng and Xiao Ai couldn't understand.

After communicating with the Mermaid inside the gate for a while, the Mermaid general stepped back and returned to where Yu Huaifeng and Lu Heng stood.

Slowly, the massive stone gate opened up before Lu Heng and his companions.

After the colossal stone gates opened, a stunning scene was revealed beyond them - a huge stage like the real night sky, glittering with twinkling stars.

Standing beneath this vast starry sky, Lu Heng and the Mermaids were overwhelmed by a sense of insignificance, as if they were truly facing a real star-filled expanse.

Yu Huaifeng gave a slight smile and gestured, "Please, follow me."

After speaking, as if afraid that the Wolf God would not dare to enter, he took a step into the starry sky without hesitation.

Lu Heng didn't hesitate and followed Yu Huaifeng into the stellar expanse.

A sensation of icy softness hit him immediately, as if Lu Heng had plunged into a pool of soft gelatin, making his whole body feel light and chilly.

In the next moment, as he regained his sight, he realized that he was no longer under the sea, but standing amidst a sparkling galaxy.

Bright and lifelike stars seemed to twinkle beside him, only reduced in size and lacking the scorching heat of true stars.

Standing in the void, Lu Heng saw no directions, no above or below, as if he had truly arrived in the vacuum of the universe.

The silver-haired girl with animal ears clung close to him, staring at the scene before them in amazement and slight shock.

After all, the feeling of being in the galaxy was truly magnificent.

Meanwhile, Yu Huaifeng stood at the side, smiling and saying, "This is the Extreme Hell Prison, a realm beyond the world, not within the South Sea. The friend of the Wolf God resides here temporarily."

After Xiao Ai came in, no one else came in behind Lu Heng.

The three hundred Mermaid Battle Soldiers were all left outside, it seems they were not really used to guard against Lu Heng.

However, there should also be Mermaid Battle Soldiers stationed in the Extreme Hell Prison, but it is unclear where they are.

At least Lu Heng doesn't feel their presence now.

Yu Huaifeng obviously has no intention of showing Lu Heng the garrison here, he plans to take Lu Heng directly to see his friends.

However, Lu Heng is not anxious now.

He stood in the midst of the starry sea, looking with amazement and astonishment at the slowly rotating whirlpool nebula before him, his heart sinking slightly.

If the Eight Trigrams pattern on the stone gate could still be dismissed as a coincidence, then the whirlpool nebula he was now in front of couldn't possibly be explained away by coincidence…

The Milky Way…

Could this brilliant and genuine starry sky be a completely realistic representation of the Milky Way?

Although Lu Heng's knowledge of astronomy was limited, he had previously watched many popular science videos of the Milky Way online. Compared to the shape and characteristics of the Milky Way in his memory, the starry sky before he seemed to be the Milky Way…

Moreover, on the spiral arm they were now on, there seemed to be familiar stars.

The giant white wolf passed directly over Yu Huaifeng, heading towards the sea of stars up ahead.

Xiao Ai followed closely behind him, unwilling to be separated from the Wolf God.

Yu Huaifeng, however, wore a look of surprise. "That's not the right direction!"

But since the Wolf God had gone that way, he had no choice but to follow, knowing that there were no important criminals detained in that direction.

The Wolf God's strange reaction upon entering the starry sky also piqued Yu Huaifeng's curiosity, wondering what exactly the Wolf God was looking for.

… Could it be that there is some kind of treasure left behind by ancient ancestors in this sea of stars that they haven't found yet?

With this curiosity and trust in the Wolf God's ability to maintain order in the Extreme Hell Prison, Yu Huaifeng didn't stop the Wolf God, but followed closely behind him.

The two, along with the wolf, hurried through the starry sea.

This reduced realistic starry sea didn't perfectly restore the proportions in the actual sea of stars. Otherwise, vast empty areas would have been daunting.

Although the distance between the stars was considerable, it was still incomparable to the real universe.

Soon, Lu Heng arrived on the outskirts of this spiral arm and found a prominent and familiar coordinate.

Centaur triple-star…

These three stars, which have become famous and popular because of science fiction, are now appearing in front of Lu Heng. Each star has a diameter of several meters and emits a faint, scorching light.

Not far from these three stars, there is a seemingly ordinary star floating in the starry night, surrounded by several planets of varying sizes, each no bigger than a marble.

From the distance in this sea of stars, Lu Heng can clearly see the ordinary star nearby and the small planets that surround it.

In this sparkling sea of stars, this particular star has no distinguishing characteristics and can be considered quite ordinary.

However, when Lu Heng actually found this star, he became genuinely excited.

He instinctively flew towards the star, even though he knew it was only a false sandbox model. But the familiar scene of his hometown still stirred up his desire to get closer and he could not resist it.

Then, Lu Heng froze.
