Practice begins with immortality

After dealing with things, Wang Bai followed the coordinates provided by the ancient soul and instantly crossed through layers of space barriers, and finally came to a huge celestial body beyond imagination.

This celestial body resembles a black behemoth slumbering in the depths of the universe, shrouded in a thick, impenetrable darkness. Yet, astonishingly, its seemingly smooth surface is covered with vibrant and mysterious patterns, like blossoming red spider lilies. These patterns, like living creatures, occasionally flicker with faint light, as if revealing some unknown secret to the outside world.

Then, from within those exquisite patterns, wisps of slender golden light suddenly emerged. Like fireflies in the night sky, they flickered, dotting the pitch-black sky. But these golden lights flickered only briefly, then quickly faded like a fleeting flash of light, vanishing into the darkness. Simultaneously, a strange frequency began to resonate in the surrounding space, and these golden lights appeared and disappeared with this frequency, adding an eerie yet captivating touch to the entire scene.

At this moment, Wang Bai was concentrating on using his powerful spiritual power to tightly envelop this huge celestial body. His spiritual power was like an invisible net, slowly covering it, trying to detect the secrets hidden within this celestial body.

After a moment, Wang Bai finally made a discovery, but it was so astonishing that he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "The density of this celestial body and the immense energy it contains are simply incalculable! No wonder the Ancient Soul and the other Eight Tribulations beings of the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance couldn't move it; it turns out they simply can't move it even a fraction."

At that moment, Wang Bai deeply understood why the Ancient Soul called this place a special "world." With his current strength, even if he unleashed his full might and launched a powerful attack, it would be difficult to create even the slightest crack on this celestial body. Facing such an indestructible, unknown behemoth, Wang Bai couldn't help but feel an unprecedented sense of shock and awe.

Besides that, he noticed something strange, and he couldn't help but wonder, "How could this be? I can't even feel any gravity!"

According to common sense, such a dense celestial body must cause a significant effect. Normally, it should be surrounded by a large amount of various materials captured by it.

However, within Wang Bo's perception, this mysterious celestial body seemed completely isolated from the outside world by a transparent barrier, like a glass cover. This strange barrier made the celestial body seem to be in another independent space, completely unable to exert even the slightest influence on the outside world.

Despite his confusion and curiosity, Wang Bai knew his primary mission was to save lives, not to delve into the secrets hidden behind the star. He decisively set these doubts aside. In the next instant, a flash of light appeared, and Wang Bai's figure had landed steadily on the star's uneven surface.

According to the information provided by Gu Hun and others, Wang Bo learned that the key to stepping into that mysterious "world" lies in the gorgeous and strange patterns on the surface of the star, which are like the flowers on the other side. Those are abysses.

In addition, one must jump into the abyss when the "pattern" emits dazzling golden light. Only in this way can one reach the passage to the mysterious world inside the star.

While Wang Bai was pondering these key pieces of information, a strange talisman as black as ink appeared in his hand.

This was the mysterious talisman that the ancient soul had given him before he left. Looking at the black talisman in his hand, which exuded a faint mysterious aura, Wang Bo couldn't help but fall into memories...

"You must keep this talisman properly. After you successfully enter the world, as long as it is within the sensing range of this talisman, once the mission target or other people in danger appear, it will send you a warning signal in time." Gu Hun warned with a serious face at the time.

"...Also, if conditions permit, please do your utmost to rescue as many people as possible. However, if this proves impossible, you must retreat on your own and inform us of the true state of the world in detail."

At this point, Wang Bai regained consciousness and, with resolute steps, headed straight for the bottomless abyss. Coincidentally, just as he reached the edge, the previously calm depths suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light! At that moment, this spectacle resembled the vibrant aurora above the polar glaciers—magnificent yet filled with endless danger and uncertainty.

After the golden light appeared, Wang Bai jumped directly into the abyss.

Then, with the world spinning, Wang Bai came to a dark alley.

.....................

In the pitch-black alley, the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating. A man, his face thick with flesh and a hideous scar, slumped limply on a pile of disorganized debris. Faint moonlight filtered through the narrow alley, barely illuminating his pale face and the pool of blood that gradually spread beneath him.

Standing before him were three tall, imposing men. Each of them wore a hood, completely concealing their true appearance. In their hands, they clutched cold guns, the black muzzles emitting a breath of death.

The man had been shot multiple times, blood gushing from the wounds, staining his tattered clothes. Clearly, his life was hanging by a thread, beyond saving. Yet, even in his final moments, he managed to raise his head with all his might, staring intently at the leading man with bloodshot, despairing eyes. His voice, hoarse as if torn from its core, he asked, "...Can you tell me who hired you to kill me? So I can die knowing..."

The leading man showed no mercy to the dying man's plea. He looked at the dying man expressionlessly and responded coldly, "Sorry, we have professional ethics. We cannot disclose information about our employer."

Just as he finished speaking, before the man could speak again, a resounding gunshot pierced the night air. The leading man's weapon suddenly opened fire, a deadly bullet piercing the man's head with lightning speed. Instantly, blood splattered everywhere as the bullet pierced the man's head, his brain and blood mingling, splattering all over the wall behind him.

With the man's death, everything returned to calm. The leading man glanced coldly at the lifeless body on the ground and said casually, "You can only blame it on bad luck." After that, he waved his hand, signaling the other two companions to leave.

However, before they could react, a bolt of lightning struck them more than ten meters behind them.

"boom!!!"

As the thunder fell, a figure appeared in front of the three of them.
