The Flowing Cloud Shuttle plowed through the morning mist over the Shattered Star Sea, its wake trailing a long, silvery streak.
Han Li stood at the bow, the Star-Water Token, Illusory Star Banner, and Water-Congealing Pill Formula nestled together against his chest. As the three resonated, a three-dimensional map of the Void Sky Hall slowly unfolded in his sea of consciousness-the Two-Yi Hall occupied the center like a heart, while the remnant souls of the surrounding Soul-Burial Zone coiled around it like blood vessels. Dark purple pulses signaled danger.
Inside the cabin, Zi Ling adjusted the Stars Shift and Dipper Turn Formation flags. The humming between her plain silver hairpin and the Star-Water Token gradually steadied. All that remained was to arrive.
System, calculate a route. Han Li sank his awareness into his sea of consciousness.
[Ding! The Void Sky Hall is located at the center of the Soul-Burial Archipelago in the far north of the Shattered Star Sea, three thousand li from here. The route passes through the Remnant-Soul Vortex. Strength: peak Foundation Establishment late stage ×5. Recommended protection: Star-Water Combined Formation, supplemented with Water-Condensing Pills to replenish spiritual power.]
Hearing this, Zi Ling emerged from the cabin, holding a celadon pill bottle. "The Water-Condensing Pills are ready. Three drops of star-tear grass juice, seven illusory star grass leaves, half a cup of spirit spring water from Dream Cloud Marsh, and one qian of jade silkworm shell powder. I alternated gentle-and-fierce flame in the Nine-Aperture Spirit-Gathering Furnace, producing pills with three markings and pure spiritual power." She poured out an emerald-green pill, its medicinal fragrance mingled with Star Power and the essence of water. "This pill can serve as a key to break formations, and it can also protect the divine soul."
Han Li accepted the pill.
