Star Realm void.
The island Li Pin had transformed into was searching for a usable trajectory, constantly advancing toward the Shattered Star Sea.
Like a ship sailing upon the ocean, external factors such as wind speed and currents could make the vessel travel faster.
The same was true of traveling through the Star Realm void.
All manner of external causes could affect his speed.
For example, if a major figure at the Zhou Guang level swiftly passed through a deeper layer of the Star Realm, the impact they had on the Star Realm would be projected onto its outer layer, "sweeping along" this region and forming something like an ocean current that carried him rapidly forward.
Or, if a Sacred Emperor performed spatial traversal within the Star Realm's core, the power projected down could cause spatial folding in the Star Realm's outer layer, allowing the energy and matter there to make hyperspace leaps.
To a certain extent, the outer layer had weaker Power of Guixu, lower pressure, and a lower energy level, yet it was also the most dangerous region.
Too many uncontrollable factors could disturb the outer Star Realm.
The core layer, on the other hand, had a higher energy level, but all its dangers remained controllable. As long as a cultivator was sufficiently powerful, the degree of danger they encountered would decrease geometrically.
"It's practically like driving on the highway. As long as you're fast enough, you don't have to worry about someone suddenly overtaking you and forcing you to slow down or change lanes, bringing unknown dangers... And once your speed reaches the extreme, surpassing every other vehicle, with no cars left ahead to block your path, the road becomes broad and flat as a horse galloping across open ground..."
As Li Pin controlled his traversal, these
