Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

"This is it...that's right..." Shen Mo murmured to himself, his gaze lingering on the deeper reaches of the distorted land outline beneath the broken sky. The guidance from the beast bone map had become extremely blurry at this point, leaving only a general direction.

But Shen Mo had a feeling that the real "target," or rather, the "secret" most closely related to him, the Qingyun Sect, and "Qingyunzi," was not in this obvious, law-broken "outer ruins," but in a deeper "node" cleverly hidden by layers of chaotic spacetime and the Dao of Annihilation.

"Su Xiao, use your divine sense to probe the maximum range. Pay attention to any abnormal, predictable spatial fluctuations or points where Daoist energy condenses, especially the directions that resonate with this beast bone map," Shen Mo instructed in a deep voice. At the same time, he pushed his mind and the connection between his mind and the Myriad Laws Source Pearl to the limit, trying to capture that unseen guidance.

"Yes." Su Xiao closed his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly on his usually cold face, clearly indicating that conducting a divine sense probe in this place was extremely difficult and dangerous.

But she still unhesitatingly extended her divine sense, as delicately as the finest spider silk, carefully in the general direction that Shen Mo had pointed out.

The spatial structure here is fragile and chaotic. If one's divine sense is not careful, it may be severed by the invisible spatial folds, or even backfire on oneself.

Despite her discomfort, Zhao Qingyan took out several specially made silver array flags engraved with complex spatial patterns and inserted them around the ship's side, setting up a simple "gap-finding array" to help sense spatial anomalies.

Shi Tie, carrying his giant axe, stood like the most vigilant guard, his eyes fixed intently on the slowly moving shadows beneath the gelatinous sea surface and the seemingly solidified cracks in the sky, whose inner light and shadow flowed endlessly.

Li Xiaocao hid behind Shen Mo, her small hands tightly clutching a handful of "Awakening Powder" that emitted a refreshing medicinal fragrance, ready to scatter it at any time to fight against possible mental pollution.

The old sea dog then focused all its efforts on controlling the "Black Sturgeon," allowing this specially reinforced vessel to glide slowly across the viscous, gelatinous sea surface in the most stable and energy-efficient way possible, towards the direction Shen Mo sensed.

The boat glided across the sea without making a splash, leaving only slow, gelatinous ripples that would take a long time to subside.

Time loses its meaning here. Perhaps it's just a moment, or perhaps several hours have passed.

The surrounding scenery was monotonous yet eerie: a shattered sky, a gelatinous sea, an inverted glacier, a twisted land... seemingly without end.

Only the occasional glimpses of ever-changing colored light leaking from cracks in the sky, and the slow, writhing of the enormous shadows beneath the sea, served as reminders of the "activity" and danger of this land.

"Sect Leader, there are unusual spatial fluctuations about three hundred miles to the southeast."

Su Xiao suddenly opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing in her clear, cold gaze as she pointed to the left front. "It wasn't a natural breakage; it's more like... the periodic 'pulsations' left behind after the collapse of some massive structure. It's very faint, but its pattern is different from the chaotic fluctuations around it."

"Moreover... when my divine sense approached, the Shadow Guard token in my arms seemed to have an extremely faint warmth."

The Shadow Guard Token was crafted using the secret techniques of the Qingyun Sect and contains a trace of the sect's unique spiritual essence. Why is it generating a connection here?

Shen Mo's heart stirred, and he immediately focused his divine sense and the connection between the Myriad Laws Source Pearl and the direction Su Xiao pointed.

Sure enough, against the backdrop of chaotic spatial ripples and the aura of annihilation, he detected a faint yet unusually "resilient" fluctuation.

The fluctuations were like the faint heartbeat of a dying behemoth, or like some kind of ancient, dormant formation or restriction that, after countless years, still followed its original setting and performed an almost imperceptible "breathing".

What shocked Shen Mo even more was that when he focused his divine sense to sense that fluctuation, the beast bone map in his arms became noticeably hotter!

The Myriad Dharma Source Pearl in the sea of ​​consciousness conveyed a clear, almost "confirmed" and "yearning" throbbing sensation!

"That's it!" A glint flashed in Shen Mo's eyes. "Old Sea Dog, turn southeast, keep steady, and approach slowly."

The "Black Sturgeon" slowly adjusted its direction, like a cautious blind fish, gliding towards its target in the viscous "seawater".

The closer you get, the clearer the subtle fluctuations become. Although they are still faint, the sense of "order" and "resilience" that are out of place with the surrounding environment become more and more obvious.

It's as if, in the eye of a raging storm, there exists an extremely small "quiet spot" that has never been completely destroyed.

They had been "navigating" for an unknown amount of time, covering a distance of three hundred miles. Finally, the scenery ahead began to change.

In the center of the gelatinous sea, a relatively "clear" area appeared.

The seawater in this area is no longer that unsettling translucent gel; instead, it presents a deep, "empty" color that seems to absorb all light, as calm as the smoothest obsidian mirror.

And at the center of this "Sea of ​​Nothingness" floats a... singularity.

It was a semi-transparent "ball of light," only the size of a fist, that was slowly rotating and seemed to contain images of stars being born and dying, and of chaos being created.

The color of the light cluster was indescribable, as if it contained all the colors in the world, yet it also seemed to have no color at all, simply pure "existence" and "change" itself.

It hovered silently three feet above the "Sea of ​​Nothingness," exuding an indescribable, ancient, and desolate grandeur, yet also carrying a hint of... sorrow and determination.

And that subtle, periodic spatial fluctuation emanated from this small, inconspicuous ball of light!

"This is…" Zhao Qingyan's beautiful eyes widened as she stared intently at the ball of light, her face filled with shock and disbelief. "A spatial node?! And… it's been artificially stabilized, even… modified!"

"Look at the rhythm of these fluctuations; it seems to incorporate extremely profound... concepts of sealing and protection formations! This could not have formed naturally!"

"Goodness... Is this tiny thing the source of what makes this place a little different?" Shi Tie scratched his head. Although he couldn't understand the intricacies, he instinctively sensed the extraordinary nature of the ball of light.

Su Xiao stared at the ball of light, a hint of emotion appearing on his usually cold face: "The token's sensitivity is strongest when it gets close to this place. Perhaps the interior of this ball of light is connected to... a place related to my Qingyun Sect."

Li Xiaocao muttered softly, "So beautiful... but I also feel so sad..."

The old sea dog was too frightened to speak, but it gripped the rudder tightly and stared intently at the ball of light with its single eye, as if afraid that it would suddenly attack.

Shen Mo remained silent. His entire being had resonated with the ball of light in some mysterious way.

No, to be more precise, it was a faint "call" that I could only vaguely "touch" deep within the ball of light, a call that was extremely familiar yet incredibly ancient, seemingly originating from the source of my bloodline and soul.

That was the aura of "Qingyun".

It is not the ethereal and agile style of Qingyun Sect's techniques, but a more magnificent and profound "Qingyun" meaning that seems to be able to support the heavens and the earth and measure the starry river!

His "fabricated" image of Qingyunzi, the figure in blue robes holding a ruler on the mural in the Reincarnation Hall, and the vicissitudes and protection embodied in the two characters "Guixu" on the animal bone map in his arms... all subtly echo each other!
