Projecting the Three Enclosures, Half-Step Ascending to Heaven

"Bi Star, Bei Luo Shi Men, Zhao Yao, Heavenly Wolf... every one of them governs warfare and slaughter. This man's killing nature is indeed heavy."

After her initial surprise, Yu Qing Xuan thought of a problem. "If he enters the Three Enclosures this way, then when he reaches the Ziwei Enclosure later, even if he gets to Gouchen, he will not reach Taiyi. This truly is troublesome."

Among the thirty-nine Star Officials and roughly three hundred and fifty stars within the Ziwei Enclosure, each had its own corresponding heavenly mechanism, intimately tied to a cultivator's temperament. Her concern was by no means unfounded.

Yuangguang Pavilion and Jiu Yan's cave dwelling were separated by only a few miles.

At some unknown time, an exceedingly formidable restriction had been laid within the inner layer of that cave dwelling, sealing off everything inside tight as iron. She did not wish to disturb Yu Ci's breakthrough, so her divine sense retreated at the first touch.

Yu Ci's utterly unreasonable cultivation progress had evidently shaken her so badly
