Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

Just then, deep within the storage ring in his bosom, the chaotic cocoon containing the jade slip of Qingyunzi, which he had sealed layer by layer with the secret method of the "Source Sea Dao Scripture," trembled slightly without warning.

The throbbing was so faint as to be almost imperceptible, like the unconscious murmur of a sleeper, or like a wanderer awakened by the distant sound of bells from his homeland, turning over in his dream.

But Shen Mo's senses were incredibly sharp, especially considering the profound and inexplicable connection between the jade slip and him. This surge of emotion, like a drop of ice water falling into boiling oil, instantly exploded in his heart!

It wasn't a proactive resonance, nor was it triggered by any external force. It was more like the jade slip itself sensed some kind of shared or extremely relevant "environment," resulting in a subtle, instinctive "response"!

And the direction from which this echo originated... Shen Mo suddenly looked up, his gaze like lightning, locking onto the magnificent yet deadly tributary of the Falling Star Sea in the distance!

Yes! The jade slip of Qingyunzi records ancient secrets and is related to earth-shattering causes and effects such as "Return to the Void", "Heavenly Demon", and "Mending the Sky".

This Sea of ​​Fallen Stars is a terrifying scar left by an ancient war, a place where space is shattered and laws are chaotic. There must be some unknown connection between the two!

Is the tremor in the jade slip a sign of "recognizing" one's homeland? Is it a lament for the past? Or is it... pointing to something else?

Shen Mo's heart pounded uncontrollably a few times. He forcefully suppressed his surging blood and qi, and with several times the power of his divine sense, he fiercely suppressed the cocoon of light in his arms!

The Daoist principles of the "Yuanhai Daojing" roared within my body, transforming into invisible shackles that tightly locked and extinguished that spark of emotion!

The cocoon of light returned to its deathly stillness, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion.

But Shen Mo knew that wasn't the case.

He took a slow, deep breath, the cold air filling his lungs and calming his racing thoughts. He stopped looking at the falling stars, turned around, walked to the control panel, and brought up the star map.

Long, slender fingers moved across the star map screen, and soon, precise coordinates were marked—the current position of the Ink Cloud Shuttle, as well as the relative position, approximate distance, and spatial disturbance index of the observed tributary of the Falling Star Sea on the star map…

He encrypted and recorded this coordinate separately in a blank jade slip, and then placed it together with the "Self-Doubt Slip".

After doing all this, he looked up again, gazing at the Dark Cloud Shuttle that had veered off course and begun to circle ahead. Outside the window, the magnificent and terrifying tributary of the Falling Star Sea was slowly moving to the side and rear, gradually being obscured by the clouds.

Inside the cabin, everyone was still immersed in the fatigue of crossing the gale belt and the shock of the falling star sea, and no one noticed Shen Mo's abnormal behavior just a moment ago.

Shi Tie was boasting to Wang Hu about how valiant he had been when he injected his true energy. Zhao Qingyan closed her eyes to regulate her breathing and recover her mind.

Li Xiaocao is checking her ice orchids to see if they have been damaged during the bumpy ride.

Atu was still lying on the ground, groaning.

Su Xiao's divine sense seemed to tense for a moment when the Falling Star Sea appeared, but it quickly returned to normal.

Shen Mo stood silently in front of the control panel, his back to everyone, gazing at the seemingly calm sea of ​​clouds ahead.

The perilous gale, the eeriness of the falling star sea, the trembling of the jade slip... all of this was like layers of mist gradually spreading, shrouding the road to Tianyuan City.

He suddenly recalled Li Xiaoyao's abrupt warning, the discussions about himself he had overheard in the "Zhiwei Tower," and the unwilling yet fearful gaze of the Lin family cultivators in the Suspended Mountain...

This road is destined to be anything but peaceful.

The Dark Cloud Shuttle glided silently, leaving behind the shattered sea of ​​light that seemed to conceal ancient secrets. Ahead, the vast sea of ​​clouds held countless unknown storms.

The Moyun Shuttle sailed for another seven days.

These seven days were relatively peaceful, and there were no more severe celestial phenomena like the gale belt, nor did they approach any bizarre and dangerous places like the falling star sea.

However, Shen Mo did not lower his guard. Instead, he made Su Xiao more vigilant, and at the same time, he often spread his divine sense like a tide to sense the movements within a thousand miles.

The closer one gets to the core of the central region, the richer and purer the spiritual energy in the air becomes. Without even consciously breathing in, wisps of spiritual energy spontaneously seep into the body through the pores, invigorating the spirit.

However, correspondingly, the powerful auras felt along the way also increased.

Occasionally, divine sense would sweep across the Ink Cloud Shuttle with a scrutinizing intent, but most of the time, after touching the Nascent Soul aura that Shen Mo deliberately displayed, as well as the ancient and profound runes on the surface of the Ink Cloud Shuttle, it would politely withdraw.

This is the Central Region, a place teeming with powerful individuals, where rules are even more stringent. Strength is the best passport and the most basic talisman for self-preservation.

That evening, a line appeared on the horizon, stretching for countless miles, gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen in the setting sun.

A colossal city whose grandeur and imposing presence defy description.

The city wall is over a hundred feet high and is made entirely of massive, dark blue stone blocks. Its surface is covered with intricate defensive runes and gleams with a dark luster in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The city walls stretch to both sides, seemingly without end, like a primordial beast lying prone on the earth.

Banners fluttered on the wall, and armored soldiers stood in rows. Even though they were far apart, one could still feel a chilling and murderous aura rising into the sky.

Even more awe-inspiring is that hundreds of feet above the city, three small mountain peaks are suspended in a "品" shape. The base of the peaks is sharp, and thick bronze chains engraved with lightning runes connect them to the city wall below.

On the mountain peak, there are arrow towers and towers, and you can vaguely see huge crossbow carts, array cores that shimmer with spiritual light, and even several black warships that are several times larger than the Moyun Shuttle and shaped like spears, floating silently, with their dark cannon muzzles pointed at the sky outside the city.

"Zhenyuan Pass." Zhao Qingyan gazed at the increasingly clear outline of the giant city on the light screen and said softly, "The southern gate of the Central Region, known as 'One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.' Only after passing this pass can one truly step into the fertile land of the Central Region."

"Good heavens..." Shi Tie, peering out the porthole, was utterly astonished. "This spectacle is far more impressive than our Qingyun Mountain Sect... no, it's incomparable! That wall, even if you used a magic weapon, it would probably take half a day to blast it!"

"Half a day?" Wang Hu crossed his arms and sneered. "See those runes on the wall? That's a combination of the 'Mysterious Heavy Mountain-Suppressing Rune' and the 'Geng Metal Sharp Qi Rune.' Even a Nascent Soul cultivator's full-force attack might not leave a deep mark."

"Not to mention the three 'Suppressing Peaks' and the 'Spell-Breaking Crossbows' and 'Sky-Splitting Boats' on them. Zhenyuan Pass itself is a massive war weapon."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt even more awe.

When Mo Yunshuo was still ten miles away from the city wall, it was stopped by a patrol of armored soldiers riding a kind of winged beast that looked like a lion or tiger.

A middle-aged general, clad in black spirit armor and exuding an aura clearly indicating the early stage of the Golden Core realm, rode a demonic beast closer, his voice booming like a bell: "Halt! Show your travel permit and state your name!"

Shen Mo controlled the Moyun Shuttle to hover. The hatch opened, but he did not get out of the cabin. Instead, he used his true essence to carry a token—the "Tianyuan Token" that the envoy from the Sky Patrol Pavilion had sent back then—and presented it to the general.

The general took the token and examined it carefully, especially the Sky Patrol Pavilion mark and Shen Mo's soul imprint. After confirming that everything was correct, the murderous look on his face eased slightly, but his gaze still swept sharply over the people inside the Mo Yun Shuttle.

"Southern Region, Qingyun Sect?" The general returned the token. "Sect Leader Shen Mo? Invited to the Tianyuan Conference?"

"That's right," Shen Mo's voice came steadily.

"Are you carrying any prohibited items? Are any of your entourage wanted?" the general asked routinely.

No.

The general nodded and stepped aside to clear the way, but two armored soldiers still rode demonic beasts, one on the left and one on the right, "escorting" the Ink Cloud Shuttle towards a huge platform below the city wall, which was used for the take-off and landing of flying magical artifacts.

"Entry must be on foot. Flying magical artifacts must be parked in designated areas for inspection and payment of parking fees," the general's voice rang out. "Private duels and flying are strictly prohibited within the pass; violators will be severely punished. Sect Leader Shen, please."
