As they parted, Bai Ze and Feng Qingxue personally escorted Lu Lingxi Yao and Nalan Rongzhi to the exit of Dragon Abyss Valley. Lan Yuan also chose to continue following Lu Lingxi Yao. As the Sea Demon King, he moved freely in the water and was more familiar with the environment of the Illusionary Sea Continent, so he could provide a lot of help.

Standing outside Dragon Abyss Valley, gazing at the central sea area shrouded in mist and exuding an eerie aura in the distance, that is the direction of the Lost Star Sea.

Nalan Rongzhi held her hand tightly and whispered, "Yaoyao, don't worry too much."

"Ah."

According to the guidance of the Dragon Clan's Supreme Elder, there are still ten days until the peak of the next Star Tide. During these ten days, they did not rush to go deeper. Instead, under Lan Yuan's guidance, they first arrived at a relatively safe underwater canyon near the edge of the Lost Star Sea to rest temporarily. At the same time, they also made final preparations for the perilous journey that was about to begin.

Over the past ten days, Lu Lingxi Yao immersed herself in the Nine Luminaries Celestial Star Chart, carefully studying the spatial laws and stellar mysteries contained within it. The more she studied it, the more amazed she became by the chart's profoundness. The chart seemed to form its own miniature universe, with nine gems corresponding to nine main stars, and countless tiny points of light simulating the trajectory of the stars.

Nalan Rongzhi quietly watched over her, occasionally discussing cultivation insights with her, or deducing the various situations they might encounter after entering the Lost Star Sea.

Lan Yuan was in charge of guarding the area and used the Siren Clan's talents to constantly probe the energy tide changes at the edge of the Lost Star Sea so that he could enter at the most precise moment.

The tenth day, at dusk.

The once calm sea suddenly began to surge violently, and visible energy ripples spread out from the central region of the Illusionary Sea Continent, sweeping in all directions. In the sky, the starlight became exceptionally bright, as if drawn by an invisible force, casting strange beams of light that disappeared into the sea.

"Master, the Star Tide has reached its peak!" Lan Yuan's voice was solemn, his eyes flashing with a deep blue light. "The spatial barrier at the edge of the Lost Star Sea is at its weakest now, making it the best time to enter!"

Lu Lingxi opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing within them. She stood up, looked at the sea that had become bizarre and surreal due to the energy tides, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

The Azure Wood Flying Boat was summoned once more, transforming into a streak of light. Guided by Lan Yuan, it cautiously headed towards the Lost Star Sea. The closer it got, the more bizarre the surrounding environment became. Uneasy energy fluctuations permeated the air, and space began to distort. Distant islands and reefs were sometimes stretched into strange shapes, and sometimes swayed like reflections in water. Occasionally, several scenes would overlap, as if different dimensions of space were intersecting in a chaotic manner.

“The magnetic field here is completely chaotic.” Nalan Rongzhi frowned slightly. The magic crystal compass in his hand, which was used to guide the way, was now spinning wildly and had long since lost its function.

Lan Yuan's expression also turned very serious. Relying on his keen perception of water flow and energy, he struggled to discern the direction: "Master, the area ahead that is shimmering with a seven-colored halo should be one of the entrances to the Lost Star Sea. The space here is extremely unstable, and we must be extremely careful."

The airship slowly entered the area shrouded in a seven-colored halo, as if passing through a thin film of water. In an instant, the scene before them changed dramatically.

They felt as if they were inside a shattered kaleidoscope, surrounded by distorted, folded, and even inverted scenes. One moment they could see a dazzling nebula in the distance, and the next, that nebula might suddenly appear overhead or simply vanish. Above, countless strange stars moved along trajectories that defied all logic, plummeting with long, fiery tails only to rise again inexplicably halfway down.

"Watch out!" Lu Lingxi suddenly shouted, abruptly maneuvering the flying boat to the side.

Just as the airship left its original position, a pitch-black spatial rift appeared silently, like a giant maw ready to devour its prey, completely swallowing up the space where the airship had been.

“There are too many spatial rifts here, and they all appeared without warning.” Nalan Rongzhi’s expression was cold and his body was already shrouded in a faint layer of demonic energy as he vigilantly observed his surroundings.

Lan Yuan unleashed his full power of water-based divine energy, creating a robust water curtain around the flying boat to resist the omnipresent energy erosion.

Suddenly, Lu Lingxi felt a sense of disorientation. It was as if the image of Tongtian Peak appeared before her eyes, and her parents were smiling and waving at her. She was startled and bit her tongue hard. A sharp pain came, and the illusion before her eyes vanished instantly.

"It's an illusion. The chaotic energy here will trigger inner demons and interfere with your mind!" Lu Lingxi Yao immediately warned.

Nalan Rongzhi snorted coldly, a purple light flashed in his eyes, and the psychedelic energy that was trying to invade his mind instantly melted away. Lan Yuan also immediately calmed his mind. The spiritual power of the sea monsters was not weak either, and he quickly stabilized his mind.

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath, flipped her hand, and the Nine Luminaries Star Chart appeared in her palm. She slowly injected a wisp of divine thought into the star chart, and the nine gems on the star chart lit up one after another, emitting a soft light. This light seemed to have a peculiar penetrating power, opening up a relatively stable area in the chaotic space and repelling the violent energy.

"Om-"

The Nine Luminaries Star Chart vibrated gently, and countless tiny stars began to arrange and combine on their own. Gradually, a path seemingly made of starlight slowly emerged on the star chart, pointing in an unknown direction.

The path was constantly flickering and changing slightly. Clearly, even the Nine Luminaries Star Chart could only barely guide a general direction in this chaotic place.

"Follow it!" Lu Lingxi said in a deep voice, slowing down the speed of the flying boat and carefully following the guidance of the Nine Luminaries Star Chart, struggling through the Lost Sea of ​​Stars.

With the guidance of the Nine Luminaries Star Chart, their situation improved slightly; at least they no longer had to wander around like headless flies. However, the dangers of being lost in the sea of ​​stars were far from over.

"Boom!"

Just as they rounded a distorted spatial fault, a powerful energy surge suddenly erupted ahead. Countless chaotic spatial energies and violent stellar power intertwined, forming a vast energy storm that swept towards them.

"Oh no, it's a destructive storm formed by the mixture of stellar energy tides and spatial turbulence!" Lan Yuan's expression changed drastically.

"Retreat!" Lu Lingxi Yao made a decisive decision and steered the flying boat to retreat rapidly.

However, the storm spread so quickly that it caught up with them almost in the blink of an eye.
