Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

"This is it." Shen Mo surveyed the surroundings and nodded in satisfaction. "Qingyan, begin setting up the formation. Remember, the formation's range should be small, and the fluctuations weak, but the connection between the formation's core and this dark-patterned stone must be secure!"

"Yes!" Zhao Qingyan dared not delay and immediately took out the worst quality array flags and spirit stone scraps from her bag. She then carefully began to set them up on a relatively flat open space on the cliff top.

Although she didn't understand her senior brother's full intentions, his understanding and execution of formations were beyond question. Soon, a simple spirit-gathering formation with a diameter of only about ten feet was completed.

Shen Mo stepped forward and personally placed the dark-patterned stone at the very center of the formation.

Then, he took out a few ordinary moonstones and placed them seemingly randomly around the formation.

This is not required by the formation, but rather to provide a faint illumination at night, so that those who are peeking from afar can vaguely see that there are people here and a little light, but not clearly.

"Alright." Shen Mo took a few steps back and looked at everything that had been set up. The formation had not yet been activated and looked quite ordinary.

However, he could sense that a faint connection had been established between the main array flag (also of inferior quality) controlling the array in his hand and the dark-patterned stone at the array's core.

"Now, what we need to do is... wait." Shen Mo looked at his four disciples, whose faces were filled with tension and curiosity, and said in a deep voice, "Wait until midnight, wait until... the moment when stars fall like rain!"

The waiting time always seems exceptionally long.

The night grew deeper. The mountain wind blew across the cliffs, carrying the damp chill unique to Yunmeng Marsh.

From the direction of the Water Palace in the distance, there would occasionally be a brief commotion, as if someone was unwilling to give up and tried to break through the entrance again, but it would quickly subside.

The entire body of water fell into a deathly stillness, like the calm before an approaching storm.

Shi Tie paced back and forth restlessly, glancing up at the sky every now and then. Zhang Daniu, meanwhile, sat leaning against a rock, his eyelids drooping, clutching his axe.

Su Xiao and Zhao Qingyan sat side by side, silently circulating their internal energy to try to calm their inner unease.

Shen Mo sat cross-legged beside the formation, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, his heart was also in turmoil.

This plan is too audacious! If it succeeds, Qingyun Sect will soar to new heights; if it fails... he didn't even dare to think about the consequences.

Time passed by, second by second.

It's almost midnight.

The stars in the night sky seemed brighter than usual. An indescribable sense of oppression began to permeate the air.

"Sect Leader...is the time almost here?" Su Xiao couldn't help but ask in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.

Shen Mo opened his eyes, looked at the dazzling starry sky, and nodded: "Yes, it'll be soon."

He had barely finished speaking—

"call out--!"

A faint, piercing sound suddenly came from the highest heavens! It was as if something was tearing through the atmosphere at an astonishing speed, falling down!

"They're here!" Shen Mo's pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted in a low voice!

Almost simultaneously! As if the curtain had been raised on a grand performance! The first meteor, trailing a long, bright white tail, pierced the dark night sky and, as countless people looked up, plummeted toward the distant horizon!

Immediately afterwards—

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"

The second, the third... the tenth... the hundredth! Thousands upon thousands of meteors! Like a torrential rain of light, they burst forth from every corner of the starry sky, densely packed, covering the entire night sky, illuminating it as if it were daytime!

It was absolutely magnificent, spectacular, and breathtaking!

"Oh my god..." Su Xiao covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide open. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still deeply shocked by the power of heaven and earth when she saw the legendary "stars falling like rain"!

Shi Tie and Zhang Daniu were so stunned that they forgot to breathe!

Zhao Qingyan's face flushed with excitement as she looked up at this unforgettable scene.

It wasn't just them. Throughout the entire Yunmeng Marsh, all the cultivators who witnessed this scene, whether elites from major sects or independent cultivators, were momentarily stunned and amazed! This was a miracle of nature!

It's now!

Shen Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp light! He suddenly stood up, grabbed the main array flag, and frantically poured his remaining spiritual energy into it, while roaring in his heart:

"System! Maximum power! Activate the 'Starlight Convergence' property of the Dark Pattern Stone! Guide the surrounding dissipated starlight! Create a small-scale starlight resonance phenomenon! At the same time... cast the 'Star Infusion' illusion on me! Consume all remaining causality points (2 points left)!"

[Command received! Consume 2 Causality Points! Activate "Starlight Convergence" trait! Guide Star Power! Add "Star Infusion" basic illusion (Area: Cliff area, Effect: Enveloped in faint light, aura temporarily enhanced)! Executing!]

"Buzz—!"

A soft buzzing sound emanated from the center of the simple spirit-gathering array! Under the illumination of the starlight, the silver patterns on the surface of the dark-patterned stone placed at the array's eye suddenly glowed faintly!

As if it had come to life! Immediately afterwards, the dense, impenetrable star power in the surrounding air seemed to be drawn by something, and began to slowly converge towards the small array, towards Shen Mo in the center of the array, like rivers flowing into the sea!

A faint, yet real, milky-white beam of light, visible to the naked eye and mixed with starlight, descended from the sky and enveloped Shen Mo's figure!

At the same time, a gentle yet powerful aura emanated from Shen Mo!

Although it was far inferior to Golden Core or even Foundation Establishment cultivators, against the backdrop of countless shooting stars and the backdrop of the starlight pillars, it appeared somewhat sacred and mysterious!

"The ancestor has manifested! It's the true essence of the sword technique left by the ancestor! It resonates with the power of the stars!" Shen Mo used all his strength to let out a long roar filled with excitement and 'ecstasy'!

With the aid of spiritual energy, the sound, though not deafening, clearly resounded throughout the entire cliff and even faintly spread into the distance!

"By the venerable Qingyun Ancestor! Your disciple Shen Mo has witnessed the legacy of the Ancestor today, which has stirred the starlight. This is truly an omen of the sect's great prosperity!"

He continued to shout (act) with great emotion, while opening his arms as if embracing starlight, trying to make himself look more like a lucky person who had been struck by "chance"!
