Beyond the mountain ranges lay an open expanse of land.
Four Black Bulls ran about here.
The environment in this region was remarkably safe, free from the assault of mineral-vein qi tides. The endless, towering mountain ranges were composed of Star-River Origin Ore.
It could be said that Song Heng had swept away every danger here over the course of ten thousand years. After all, this place was meant to bear his Nine-Life Immortal Tomb; it had to be as secure as could be.
Chen Xun and Black Bull had also enjoyed the shade of trees planted by those before them.
Upon the earth.
Black Bull's true body exhaled scorching breath, its brows furrowed as it stood before a Bagua-shaped formation spanning tens of thousands of zhang.
The ground of the formation was paved with countless pieces of Star-River Origin Ore. Every piece resembled a miniature world, its phenomena of reversed time and space surging violently. Within them, star rivers seemed to flow, dazzling and resplendent.
Five heaven-supporting pillars rose at the formation's edge, each a million zhang tall. Black Bull had carved them from Star-River Origin Ore with its Dharma Aspect, and they could stabilize the passage of the spacetime teleportation formation.
Profound and intricate formation patterns covered the surfaces of those heaven-supporting pillars, carrying waves of Five-Elements Qi that made one's heart quail. Constellation patterns could vaguely be seen upon them, as though the entire starry sky had been compressed within.
"Moo..." Black Bull looked solemn. This formation could directly absorb the power of the stars and the Five-Elements Qi of heaven and earth to operate; it did not fear depletion at all.
Even without starlight power or Five-Elements Qi, the Star-River Origin Ore stored dense Ancient Starlight Power, enough to sustain the spacetime formation's consumption for hundreds
