Without an introduction from the checkpoint staff before stepping over the World Wall, you'd truly feel like a headless fly once inside.
The guiding light was completely different from the starlight we usually see; it was clearly an artificial light.
Guided by the light, the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds continued its journey forward.
Li Xingkong sat in the observation cabin at the bow of the ship, his eyes closed and silent.
His Divine Sense had already extended beyond the ship, reaching out into the vast universe around him.
Although following this light seemed no different from moving directly within the World Wall, the facts reported to Li Xingkong by his Divine Sense were completely opposite to what he saw with his naked eye.
Within the area enveloped by that light, the underlying physical rules were not significantly different from before entering. However, after leaving the light's range, the conflicting rules within the World Wall began to stir again. And in places where his Divine Sense protruded further, the chaotic rules caused Li Xingkong to frown.
These chaotic rules are like river water; they are not fixed but constantly changing with the fluctuations of space. Even if you stand still, the ever-changing rules can tear you apart unexpectedly.
To establish a foothold in such a place, or even to conduct exploration, requires high-intensity computing power to provide support at all times, and the ability to modify itself in a very short time to adapt to these changes in rules.
This is something that most people cannot do. Even with superb computing power, very few can integrate computing power with themselves, let alone adjust themselves in a short period of time after the calculation is completed. Perhaps only a small number of mechanical life forms have such adaptability.
Following the guidance of the first beam of light for a long time, Li Xingkong finally saw what the glowing thing was when he reached the source.
Like a man-made mirror, it floats silently in the boundless space. It is unknown what drives it, but a cold light shines out from its surface.
The arrival of the spaceship seemed to have no effect on it, as if it were in another layer of space.
"The spatial technology of Axiom Arc, combined with the light-residue techniques of the Kingdom of Fixed Light..."
Li Xingkong pondered for a while and saw many things reflected in the mirror.
"Wait, this light is actually coming from a mirror!"
Guapilong also came over. After all, no matter how the spaceship scanned, it couldn't see anything at the location of the light source. It was as if there was nothing there. It wasn't until he came up to Li Xingkong and observed with his own eyes that he discovered there was such a large mirror at the location of the light source.
"Wow, that's amazing! Let's take a picture!"
The Guapilong was clearly captivated by this amazing spectacle and instinctively wanted to take a picture.
But when he took out his equipment, he found that none of the devices could capture the true image of the mirror; all he could see was a ball of light.
"Strange, is this a ghost?"
It rubbed its eyes, somewhat disbelieving.
"You can see the mirror even though I can't capture it, because you've connected to my Divine Sense."
Li Xingkong smiled. This ability to observe another space across space is not something everyone possesses. Moreover, the spatial structure set up by the Axiom Arc to protect this mirror is even more complex than the structure used to trap the insects.
It was thanks to Li Xingkong Thousand Mountains Method that we were able to find a way to see it.
"Oh, I see. It's such a shame we can't take pictures."
The Guapilong sighed, but it quickly came up with a new idea: if photography didn't work, couldn't it at least paint?
It instinctively reached into its pocket, then remembered that it was World Wall, and even its pocket was temporarily useless.
Fortunately, it had a backup, so it immediately ran to the warehouse and found a small painting device.
Although the device couldn't observe the mirror, it could. First, it drew the figure, and then Guapilong took over the unfinished drawing and painted the mysterious and wonderful mirror onto it.
It has to be said that this guy is truly talented in painting; the scene he painted is so lifelike, it looks like it was printed out.
"Alright, let's go! I've found the second ray of light!"
After finishing the painting, Guapilong admired it again before putting it away. He looked around and found the direction of the second beam of light.
"No rush, no rush, Guapi, let me ask you, don't you feel a little regretful that you didn't get to see the whole view of the World Wall in Half City?"
Li Xingkong shook his head and suddenly asked about what happened in Half City.
"It's a bit of a pity, but our plans are more important. It wouldn't do if we had to skip the rest of our plans just to see the scenery."
Although Guapilong was a little disappointed, he thought about the mess he had made and the fact that someone might still be on the verge of death, waiting for their help. So, he decided to put sightseeing aside for now.
"Ha, since we've come out to have fun, how can we go back with regrets?"
Li Xingkong laughed. Viewing the scenery from Half City is like looking at it from afar, not daring to approach it. What can you possibly see from a distance of several astronomical units? If you want to appreciate it, it's naturally more appropriate to go to the scenery in person.
"Ah?"
Guapilong clearly didn't understand what Li Xingkong meant by that.
"Get out of here!"
Li Xingkong stood up, said nothing, only uttered two words, and a powerful Divine Sense erupted from his body, enveloping the entire spaceship.
This time, Li Xingkong's Divine Sense was not as unresponsive as usual, like a gentle breeze. Instead, it was like liquid, and even Guapilong, who was standing to the side, felt something forcefully break through his body and permeate him from the inside out.
"Dude... what are you doing? Don't forget, we're going to follow the light..."
Guapilong had some very strange feelings, as if he was being soaked in a strange sensation from head to toe, even deep into his bones, but without any discomfort or difficulty breathing.
"Light? I am the light!"
Li Xingkong laughed, and the entire spaceship melted like a candle, turning into a ball of light and rushing out towards a certain spot in the World Wall.
The first time Li Xingkong unleashed the Earth-Traversing Golden Light outside the Kingdom of Fixed Light, he felt incredibly refreshed because the threshold of the speed of light was gone.
He moved with the speed of Earth-Traversing Golden Light, unleashing a massive burst of power.
It wasn't that Li Xingkong suddenly had the idea to go inside the World Wall and back; Li Xingkong had already made this plan when he was venturing deeper into the trestle area.
A thorough understanding needs verification, and so does the achievement of cultivation. The only place that can verify the feasibility of such achievement is within the World Wall.
To check the results, and incidentally, to bring Guapilong along to make up for the slightly regrettable first stop of the trip because of him.
