A Disordered Starry Sky

Su Zhan kept following the directions given by the Moon Beast, but the further he went, the more ridiculously far away the address pointed out by the Moon Beast seemed.

At this rate, it took them a full month, and they still hadn't seen a glimpse of their destination.

The Moon Beast kept saying, "It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon."

However, Su Zhan couldn't detect any unusual fluctuations, indicating that there was still a considerable distance to go. He had no choice but to patiently continue searching.

Fortunately, neither Jiang Shiyue nor True Man Lin Lie's problems are currently urgent, so we can afford to wait.

If they made any unusual discoveries along the way, they would stop to investigate and observe. By stopping and starting like this, they gained a lot of knowledge.

Su Zhan had never traveled this far in interstellar space before. He used to stop on Planet every now and then, sometimes to look for something, sometimes simply to rest.

I've never traveled so intensively to distant places. The only regret of the journey is not having enough time to learn about the various star systems, but there will always be time later.

As usual, Su Zhan continued his journey that day. Feeling a bit bored, he lay down on the back of the Time-Space Sealing Demon Dragon, intending to rest for a while.

After lying there for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, staring sharply at his surroundings, as if he felt something was wrong, but he wasn't sure.

He silently cried out in his heart, "Moon Beast!"

But after calling out several times, the Moon Beast didn't respond at all, and he immediately realized there was a problem.

After carefully observing the surroundings and confirming that there was no immediate danger, I tried calling the system again, but the system did not respond.

Unsurprisingly, the Chat Group was also inaccessible.

He then realized that he was definitely in an illusion.

It was truly a formidable Illusion Formation. He had studied this subject beforehand and was practically an expert, yet he had been tricked into it without even realizing it.

When entering the formation, Spirit Beast such as the Moon Beast and the Time-Space Sealing Demon Dragon accompanied him to provide guidance.

They managed to enter so quietly, which shows the skill of the person who set up the formation.

Su Zhan wasn't too discouraged. Although this represented some danger, it also proved that he might be getting closer to his target.

There are few people in the world who have the ability to set up such a formation, and he came here on purpose to find someone, so it's hard not to have some suspicions.

This can be considered a clue.

Su Zhan observed this place for a long time. He didn't know how long he had been in the illusion. Judging from the peaceful scene, the person probably didn't intend to harm him.

Perhaps this is a hallucination, designed to prevent Ordinary Grade from accidentally wandering in; those people would likely be quietly drawn out by the Formation.

If someone with insufficient cultivation were to enter, they might not even realize they've entered an illusion, entering and leaving in a daze.

It seemed like I was just passing through an Ordinary Grade place.

"This is really interesting." Su Zhan clapped his hands, preparing to break the formation.

If he has no other purpose, then following the Formation's guidance to leave from here is the simplest and most effortless way.

However, he was not a random passerby who had stumbled upon the place; he was a visitor disturbing the peace and needed to prove to the other party that he was qualified to meet with him.

A competition without gunpowder is about to begin, Su Zhan carefully observes the surrounding star formations.

Since we are in interstellar space, the most suspicious thing is naturally the countless stars.

Su Zhan observed and recorded the position and changes of each star. He closed his eyes and silently calculated the changes in the position of each star and its meaning.

After some deduction and analysis, his brows furrowed deeply; this Formation was far more complex than he had imagined.

If Su Zhan's abilities were also considerable, when he opened his eyes again, his vision had cleared, and he had grasped the pattern of the place. Upon closer inspection, it was quite simple.

The only difficulty lies in recording and calculating their trajectories in the early stages.

Just memorizing their locations and their trajectories has stumped many people, but once the patterns are understood, the operation becomes much simpler.

He channeled the Spirit Energy in his hands into the stars in the southeast direction, which is the location of Sirius Constellation.

Sirius's trajectory shouldn't be here; it should shift eastward, and Andromeda Constellation should move westward.

These constellations are scattered and seemingly fine at first glance, but upon closer inspection, each one has deviated from its proper trajectory.

This naturally leads to people being disoriented, thus misleading their sense of direction and achieving the goal of driving them out of the area.

Su Zhan moved them away little by little, like piecing together a tic-tac-toe grid.

While operating the formation, one marvels at the ingenuity of the person who set it up, who subtly leads people into an illusion, where one only needs to use Spirit Energy to create points of light, disguised as stars.

It saves you the effort of setting up your own formation and allows you to be as concealed as possible.

It's truly wonderful.

However, Su Zhan was also curious: if he could break this formation, others might be able to as well.

However, according to the Moon Beast, this so-called extraterrestrial being has been missing for many years; no one has found him, and no news has come from him.

That means the problem isn't there; this Formation is just an appetizer, nothing special.

Who knows what other tricks he has up his sleeve? Perhaps that subordinate in this battle doesn't truly value Life Element, but simply dislikes seeing blood.

It wasn't that Su Zhan was being malicious; it's just that there are all sorts of people in the cultivation world, especially those who don't value the lives of those in lower positions.

In their eyes, anyone weaker than themselves is an ant, someone they can kill and exploit at will.

Weakness is the only original sin.

Although Su Zhan did not approve of this idea, after spending so long in the cultivation world, he had gradually become accustomed to the existence of such people and no longer found it unbelievable.

He manipulated the Star Disc one star at a time, and after moving the last star back to its original position, he planned to clap his hands and announce that he had succeeded.

Suddenly, a sharp beam of starlight struck from behind, heading straight for his heart.

Fortunately, the sense of crisis he had cultivated in the face of life-or-death situations reminded him and allowed him to dodge the attack.

Where they had stood, only a sliver of darkness remained. This darkness was not the kind that scorched objects, but one that completely swallowed everything it touched, leaving not even light behind.

It was terrifying to look at; such strength was simply dazzling to Su Zhan.

He thought that even the most powerful attack would be like the previous Wuji Sword Saint, easily suppressing him, but he never expected that this attack could even erode light and Spiritual Qi, creating such a terrifying void.
