The chaotic spatial currents were a planet's natural protection, somewhat like Earth's magnetic field in his previous life. They could deflect harmful particles from the universe and thereby reduce radiation exposure.
The turbulent currents outside Geng Star were likewise streams of high-energy radiation particles. Once captured by the planet, they formed a layer of continuously circulating gale force.
This layer of gale force had a general direction, like a surging river, yet undercurrents roiled within it.
Cultivators consumed mana rapidly while traveling through the turbulent currents. Without protective measures, their Dharma bodies would be damaged.
What they feared most was being swept into the currents, unable to advance or retreat. That would very likely be a dead end.
Ji An made his preparations in the Gourd World, adjusting himself to his best condition. He took out all his fully charged Top-Grade Spirit Stones and stored them in the Void Stone for later use.
He studied the records Star-Moon Hermit had left behind regarding Geng Star. The thickest portions of the turbulent current layer were roughly fifty li deep, while even the thinnest were forty li deep. Moreover, unlike rivers on the ground, the current layer had no fixed course.
The currents changed constantly. The experiences of those who came before were unreliable; to cross it, one had to rely on hard strength.
Soaring Golden Light was an escape technique. Traveling through completely disorderly currents would suffer tremendous interference, and he would be unable to control his direction of flight. Thus, he could not yet use this fastest spell.
Ji An activated a spell and formed Armor of Vitality. A layer of golden light covered his body, after which he cast Adamantine Firmness and began approaching the turbulent currents.
The surface layer of the currents had relatively little effect on cultivators.
