Chapter 1565: Taixia

The journey from the Sinkhole to the Chaos Heavens was long. Although the Celestial Silkworm's blood was potent, even it was bound to deplete with the prolonged use of energy. Yi Yun had already been traveling for three years in the void, and his condition had gotten much worse.

As for the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm itself, without being supplemented with Yuan Qi or natural treasures, it had fallen back asleep after spitting out the blob of blood essence.

Yi Yun could sense that the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's vitality was gradually weakening. It worried him greatly. He would inquire Bai Yueyin about the distance left to the Chaos Heavens periodically, but she was unable to confirm their location exactly.

Too much time had passed. The universe was in constant flux and the changes billions of years brought about already made it quite an impressive feat that Bai Yueyin was able to get the general direction.

”Yi Yun, there's an energy fluctuation right in front!” Bai Yueyin said suddenly.

In order to save Yuan Qi, Yi Yun had delegated probing their surroundings to Bai Yueyin. Yi Yun was focused on just going forward and if he encountered danger, he would resist it with his body.

Yi Yun's heart sank. Was danger rearing its head again? His current situation did not allow for anymore misadventures.

”Oh? That looks like a… mining spirit cruiser. The words written are Taixia Ancient Mining! The words are written in human language. They are likely from a human faction.”

In the Chaos Heavens, there were a myriad of races. Humans were just one of the many races. The language they used was naturally different from the Sinkhole's.

A mining spirit cruiser?

Yi Yun was taken aback. He never expected to encounter a spirit cruiser. For more than twenty years, he had been floating adrift in the void all alone. He saw no end to it, and he was on his last legs. Finally, he saw traces of life.

”Yi Yun, what do you plan on doing? We should be on a shipping line that border the Celestials' world and the Chaos Heavens. If not, we would not have encountered a spirit cruiser.”

Yi Yun hesitated for a moment. In his present situation, he had little combat strength. It was not a wise decision to come into contact with strangers. However, if he were to avoid them, flying into the Chaos Heavens would be extremely dangerous in his current situation. Most importantly, Yi Yun could sense that the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's vitality was weakening and even if he could persist on, the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm was likely unable to.

”They are miners. Could they be mining Chaos Crystals?”

”Probably. Spirit cruisers that can travel across the multiverse's void should be powered by Chaos Crystals. Every trip such a cruiser takes expends a great deal of wealth. If they are mining, the only thing that would ensure they gain back their capital are Chaos Crystals.

Chaos Crystals…

Yi Yun was yearning for Chaos Crystals. How nice it would be if some of the ship's Chaos Crystals were given to him…

”They are sending people over.” Bai Yueyin warned Yi Yun. Yi Yun did not conceal his presence, so it was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

A white-haired middle-aged man and a green-robed elder flew across space toward Yi Yun.

These two of them had cultivation levels of Royal Sealed Divine Lords. Their Yuan Qi was unfathomable, especially the green-robed elder. His eyes were a ghostly green as though he could see through the souls of people.

”Who are you!?” the white-haired middle-aged man asked. Yi Yun had already learned a few of the languages spoken in the Chaos Heavens from Bai Yueyin on his journey. He naturally understood them.
