Chapter 3008 The Big Dipper
As Austin wandered across the universe, the rest of the cultivators also scattered and explored the vast
universe thaty before them.
They entered the secret passage with high expectations of getting a chance to find the gate to the
Gods'' Hometown.
Now that they were lucky enough to visit the Yellow Cosmos, most of the participants began to look for
the whereabouts of the Gods'' Hometown in this universe.
It was said that people could visit the Gods'' Hometown as long as they found the gate leading to it.
If they were fortunate enough to find it and eventually fulfill their dream to nt their feet on the sacred
and legendarynd of Gods'' Hometown, they would have the rare opportunity to earn the appreciation
of the divine gods and could be their sessor.
If this came true, they would be immortal and be free from the limitations of mortal world forever
and live among the mighty of gods.
They had gotten a glimpse of it through the Divine Realm cultivators in their own worlds. All of them
stood high and were powerful enough to control a universe.
However, it would be a different story if it was the gods themselves that they confronted. In this case,
they were just as weak and insignificant as ants.
Once a cultivator became the sessor of a god, even the imposing masters at Divine Realm would
had no choice but to humble themselves and kneel down before him!
No wonder it was the dream of every cultivator and they would take it as an once-in-a-lifetime, golden
opportunity.
Driven by this motivation, all cultivators were busy using their resources and skills trying to find the gate
to the Gods'' Hometown which was hidden somewhere in this universe. Each one was hoping to make
some kind of progress.
However, there always would be exceptions. Austin didn''t take part in this hot search. He was
obsessed with his own top priority which had be his mission. Apanied by the Heavenly
Majestic Pot, Violet and a few otherpanions, they were trying to find Earth in this withering
universe.
Although the spiritual energy in this universe was exhausted and there were nows to abide by, the
space that it epassed was iparablyrge.
Filled with one star cluster after another, it stretched in all directions, as far as the eye could see and
seemed to never end.
In the first four days, Austin went through these star clusters. However, none of these expeditions
yielded anything useful.
There was no trace of life in any of the star clusters that they went to or passed by.
On the fifth day, Austin steered their transport into a vast starry sky. It was even more deserted than the
other clusters that they had previously checked. This mysterious universe was like a withered and
unkempt tomb, dry and lifeless. Nothing was there except eternal cold and darkness.
As they went deeper, there were no mores nor stars to be seen in the horizon. Only an empty,
ck screeny ahead. It was so dark that it was blinding and the silence was deafening. Austin and
his team could hear nothing but the sound of their own breathing.
There was nothing but a deserted emptiness.
On the eighth day, Austin finally crossed the deserted dark space of the universe. At first they saw tiny
and faint flickers of light. As they continued to move further, the lights started to be clearer and
more prominent. Before long, they were staring at the radiance of a cluster of bright stars with majestic
star energy.
"What''s this? There''s something different about this star cluster."
Austin felt as if his heart was suspended. Something was off.
Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
As he concentrated, he sensed a dense spiritual energy inside the star cluster.
Moreover, Austin found thews of this star cluster utterly mysterious to him.
With his profound cultivation base onws and order, Austin failed to figure out what they were here. It
was too weird. It was like anguage that nobody spoke or understood.
Austin disyed the Omnipotent Lightness and entered the star cluster without any hesitation. He then
found an ideal spot to sit cross legged in the starry sky, calming down and releasing his spiritual sense
to try and learn thews there.
"Puff!"
Austin spurted out a mouthful of blood a momentter, and his face turned pale.
"It seems to me that there''s a very unusualw behind this starry sky. It does not want me to probe any
further!"
A creepy feeling ran all over his body. He hurriedly withdrew his spiritual sense and gave up the idea of
giving it another try.
Austin immediately practiced the Phoenix Nirvana Skill and his body recovered a short momentter.
He sensed some hostility earlier, as if ready to inflict pain and suffering.
"What? Are you kidding me?"
Abruptly, Austin stared straight ahead without batting an eysh.
"Is this... I can''t believe it! Is this the Big Dipper?"
Austin shouted in a trembling voice.
In the vast starry sky in front of him, there were seven stars that were exceptionally bright. Compared
to other stars in this gxy, their auras were coordinated and connected with one another, as if making
a distinct spoon formation.
His heart pounding in his chest, Austin strode forward. He wanted to give it a closer look to see if it was
what he had on his mind.
"I can''t be wrong. This is the Big Dipper! I can''t believe it!" Austin shouted.
He waspletely carried away.
Before his fate turned around, Austin had gone to college, received a decent education and received a
diploma.
While in college, Austin spent most of his time reading, and he read books from a wide variety of fields,
including economics, history, philosophy, astronomy and geography.
Needless to say, he umted sufficient knowledge, which helped him many times on different
asions. At this moment, Austin was sure that the seven big stars in front of him were the
constetion known as the Big Dipper.
The Big Dipper yed an important role in the progress of human civilization, especially in the ancient
times.
Austin''s ancestors used to tell which season it was ording to where the handle of the Big Dipper
pointed.
When it pointed east, it was no doubt spring; when it pointed south, it was summer; when it pointed
west, it was autumn; when it pointed north, it was winter.
Moreover, the Taoism regarded the Big Dipper as disaster repelling divine beings, which lived in the
seven pces on the Big Dipper. These seven pces were the seven stars thatprised the
prominent constetion.
The Big Dipper Immortals were the divine beings worshiped by the followers of Taoism.
"The Big Digger is very prominent and could clearly be seen from Earth.
Now that I''ve found the Big Dipper, I am sure that Earth is somewhere not far away from here!"
This discovery today cheered Austin up. He felt his body trembling out of excitement. He couldn''t
remember thest time he felt like this.
"Wait! I think I missed something. ording to the legend of the Taoism, the Big Dipper was the seven
stars where the seven immortals lived. Were there really seven divine gods living on these stars? It
could be true.
Since the Yellow Cosmos was one of the ces where the divine gods came into being and existence,
it would make sense to think that way," he murmured to himself.
He was thrilled as the idea shed in his mind.
"Well, since we are already here, let''s make a short side trip to the Big Dipper and see what the stars
look like! We can also check if the legend is true!"
At this moment, Austin was in high spirits with the glee of a toddler.
After all, he had long been fascinated by the ancient stories and theories about the Big Dipper, both
from the point of view of astronomy as well as the metaphysics.
Since the ancients attained great importance to the seven stars, there must be some special reasons.
Austin couldn''t just turn his back on it and forget all about it.
Without any further hesitation, Austin moved towards the Big Dipper.
A momentter, he got another discovery, which surprised him.
"What? I sense that there is life here! Seriously? Life on this cluster of stars?"
Austin suddenly muttered when he came near one of the stars.
It was the one by the handle of the Big Dipper.
From a safe distance, Austin could sense vigorous life energy surging up, emitting a hazy glow.
As part of the constetion, it was just a twinkling little gem, but up close it turned out to be a.
Austin could faintly see its extensive terrain, covered with abundant greenery.
He even saw some living creatures flying at high speed in the sky with beams of light!
All of them seemed strong and well equipped.
This meant that there were living beings on this which had cultivation bases.
This finding shocked Austin greatly. What used to be a mere cluster of stars now turned out to be
flourishing worlds.
"Wow, this is just downright unbelievable! Back on the Earth, I had looked at this constetion
countless times. I always thought that the legend about the Big Dipper was made from nothing but
folklore and superstitions."
It never urred to him that there existed living creatures on the seven stars of the Big Dipper. He
would bet that no one back on Earth knew either.
''These creatures that could fly in the sky and managed to stay hidden were none other than the
immortal divine beings that the mortals on Earth liked to tell stories about!
So, there is really ''divine gods'' in the world!''
Austin was lost in thought.
"Okay, let''s go down to have a look!"
He soon calmed down. With the help of his Aura Disguising Skill, he concealed himself perfectly. Then
he took a step forward andunched towards the big star by the handle of the Bigger Dipper. Austin did
not know what to feel as he was about to set foot on a ster body that he had only read about in
books.
This star was called Dubhe!
Whoosh!
In the starry sky, Austin turned into a light dot that swiftly yet unnoticeably fell towards the star. He
finally seeded innding.
When hended, he savored the feeling of the vastnd under his feet where the ancient forests and
towering mountains stood.
Under Austin''smand, the Heavenly Majestic Pot and the rest of the team were also transported to
this to join him.
With all hispanions, Austin led the way out of the woods with his bodily movement skill, heading
toward the nearest cluster of dwellings.
