"Power of Death Silence, huh?" Liang Yi looked up slightly entranced at the serene infinite starry sky overhead.
According to the knowledge he learned in his previous life, the starlight they saw today had been emitted from stars many years ago, and by the time they saw this starlight, those stars might have already met their demise.
"Perhaps each beam of starlight symbolizes the destruction of a world." When the stars perish, regardless of whether life exists on them, their outcome is already sealed. Thus, it's only natural that it comes with the Power of Death Silence.
"The destruction of worlds?" Su Youyi, gazing at the wisp of starlight in her palm and feeling its rhythm resonate with the "Destroying All Laws" Sword Intent inside her, vaguely thought her senior brother might be right.
"This idea isn't without precedent; it has been proposed by seniors before." An Mujing examined Liang Yi up and down after hearing his idea, seeming quite surprised he could think of this.
"Some seniors have explored the starry skies, but ultimately gained nothing, and after a long time, no one was interested in the starry sky anymore."
An Mujing shrugged her shoulders, indicating he wasn't the first person to have this thought.
Liang Yi, contemplative upon hearing this, was about to ask for more details when he realized that Elder Fu Changxing had already stopped in front of him.
"What's wrong, Elder Fu?" An Mujing called out distantly, her words caring, but Liang Yi and Su Youyi could clearly sense a sudden nervousness from Sister An.
If Elder Fu Changxing really discovered something, then she would have to change the plan and notify the Sect Master right here. However, that would mean all the arrangements made at Mount Danger would be wasted, and any action here would definitely be detected by other members of the Devouring Spirit Sect.
Elder Fu Changxing, lips pursed, actually sighed in relief internally; his initially anxious heart now completely settled.
"Everything is ready to proceed as planned." This was the message he just received from the Azure Dragon envoy, and the method of contact turned out to be the blood-red rune in his Sea of Consciousness, which he didn't even know could be used in this way apart from shrouding the Heavenly Mechanism.
Although he disdained that guy Shi Jun, thinking about the upcoming plan still made him nervous. Especially since they were about to confront one of the potentially strongest people in the world, known not as the most powerful but the hardest to kill—Master of Stars, Fang Zhi.
Now, having finally received Shi Jun's transmission, his heart settled.
"No, I just haven't been back to the sect for a long time; just feeling a bit emotional," Elder Fu turned around, narrowing his eyes and smiling amiably, then continued to lead the carriage team upward through the Array beneath their feet, flying towards the Star Sea overhead.
Phew." An Mujing sighed in relief, delighted they hadn't been discovered.
"He flew up, is that okay?" Liang Yi, pointing towards the little light point in the sky that was almost invisible, asked An Mujing.
"It's alright, Mount Danger has always been in the sky." An Mujing smiled faintly, unhurried, leading both Liang Yi and Su Youyi onto the same Array stood upon by Elder Fu Changxing.
"Senior brother, look!" A sensation of weightlessness surged in, and Liang Yi and Su Youyi were amazed to find themselves drifting further from the ground.
And unlike flight by levitation, Liang Yi felt this felt more like an observation elevator.
"Wow, so beautiful!" Su Youyi took two steps forward, standing at the edge of the Array, her eyes dreamy as she took in the magnificent natural scenery before her—a sight created through the combined efforts of cultivators, something truly incomplete without experiencing it.
"This is 'Ten Thousand Li of Stars in the Heavenly Realm'!" Even though Liang Yi had seen videos shot by Complete Heaven Sect players in his past life, when he was actually here for the first time, he still couldn't help feeling the surge of excitement.
Previously viewed stars from the ground, now seemed touchable with a lift of hand, truly "pluckable stars". And their Complete Heaven Sect below flickered with countless lights, the sea of stars gathered below, and the twinkling glow dazzled anyone who gazed upon.
At this moment, they were truly in the Heavenly Realm above the world!
"Previously, what you saw of Complete Heaven Sect were just the outer regions; the real Complete Heaven Sect is what you see before you, 'Ten Thousand Li of Stars in the Heavenly Realm', the real core of the Secret Realm," An Mujing placed her hands on her hips, appearing somewhat smug, nearly every first-time visitor to Complete Heaven Sect was stunned by this scene, a source of pride for every disciple.
The dense starlight moved along specific trajectories within the sea of stars, each beam representing a Complete Heaven Sect disciple.
"Look over there, meow!" Old Man Orange suddenly patted Liang Yi's ear, pointing to the side of the trio.
Liang Yi and Su Youyi turned to look, and what met their eyes was a unique star within the sea of stars, its brightness unmatched by the rest.
And previously ascended Elder Fu Changxing was currently heading towards that star.
Liang Yi raised his eyebrows, navigating the Array, manifesting a galaxy-like appearance in this sea of stars, appearing to stroll forward, but actually covering vast distances in a single step.
"That's Mount Danger!" An Mujing explained to everyone.
Su Youyi stared intently, focusing a wisp of Sword Intent before her eyes, finally peering through the endless brilliance to clearly see the whole picture.
"So, it really is a mountain, and it's hanging upside down!" Su Youyi dispersed her Sword Intent, and the mountain before her eyes once again turned into a mass of brilliance.
"So, the brighter points we saw from below aren't real stars, but the peaks of Complete Heaven Sect transformed." Liang Yi looked around, and like Mount Danger, there were quite a few other points of brilliant light.
"Or rather, every peak has transformed into a star in the sky."_
"Ah, the Star Battle Formation of the Complete Heaven Sect formed by the 108 peaks is indeed our Sect Protection Array!" An Mujing said with some pride.
"Fu Changxing is about to enter," Su Youyi's gaze sharpened as she noticed that Fu Changxing was already close to the perilous peak.
Upon hearing this, An Mujing took out an Array Talisman, and together with Su Youyi, they intently watched Fu Changxing's movements. The moment Fu Changxing stepped in, she would activate the array, sealing him inside and allowing the ambushing Sect Master and several Supreme Elders to strike.
Fu Changxing paused at the entrance of the perilous peak, hesitating as he looked at the path below his feet, woven from starlight.
His instinct warned him of danger, but where and when the danger would come from was all unclear.
Having reached the Seventh Realm, Fu Changxing could vaguely sense threats to his life, an inherent instinct for any cultivator who contended with the heavens, and he was no exception.
"The danger I'm sensing is within the Complete Heaven Sect, since I'm here; there shouldn't be any external threats. Thus, the danger must originate from within the sect," Fu Changxing surmised with a grim expression. It was normal for his upcoming actions to be risky, but threatening his life was not.
"Could something unexpected happen while ambushing Fang Zhi? But the main force of the ambush should have been led by the Azure Dragon."
The more Fu Changxing contemplated, the more baffled he became, yet up to this point, he had not considered the possibility of his own exposure. The infallible disguise techniques of the Devouring Spirit Sect and the recently improved cultivation techniques by the Sect Hierarch had instilled a blind faith in him.
"What do we do?" An Mujing became anxious. Acting now might spook the enemy, but the longer they delayed, the more variables could arise.
Above the Nine Heavens Star Sea, a pair of indifferent eyes, as eternal as the cold moon, silently observed Fu Changxing. The countless starlights of the Heavenly Realm brightened his refined features; this man was indeed Fang Zhi.
"Should I help him?" asked a white-bearded old man beside Fang Zhi, who seemed quite impatient.
"Why the hurry? Don't you see little Fang hasn't said anything?" Another figure, with silver hair cascading to her waist yet bearing the youthful face of a beautiful young woman, scowled discontentedly at the elder.
"Granny Feng, could you please not call me that? I'm already a Sect Master…" Fang Zhi felt awkward being addressed as such by this Supreme Elder, who was of his grandmother's generation.
"Call you what?" Feng Jinyue narrowed her eyes dangerously, her gaze at Fang Zhi making even the stars beneath dim momentarily.
"Feng... Auntie Feng!" Fang Zhi hastily corrected, sensing danger.
"That's better!" Feng Jinyue nodded with satisfaction at the address.
"Hmph, someone your age still asking to be called Auntie Feng," the white-bearded elder snorted, turning his head away in disdain.
"Yun Xieyi, you want a fight, is that it?"
"Bring it on; why should I fear you, you old shrew?"
"Hey, I'll have you bald by the end of today!"
As Fang Zhi listened to the bickering behind him, his head felt like it was about to explode. These two Supreme Elders who had watched him grow—why must they always quarrel upon meeting?
"Seniors, we have urgent matters at hand, could you please be a bit more serious?" Fang Zhi rubbed his temples, trying to intervene helplessly.
"Hmph, for little Fang's sake, I'll let you off this time," Feng Jinyue crossed her arms and turned to stand to Fang Zhi's left.
"Hmph, it's me who's letting you off!" Yun Xieyi glared fiercely at the unreasonable old shrew and moved to Fang Zhi's right.
"There's someone else watching this place, waiting for events to unfold. I suspect it is someone from the sect, aside from Fu Changxing, possibly a mole from the Devouring Spirit Sect."
Once Fang Zhi saw that the pillars of the Complete Heaven Sect had finally stopped arguing, his expression turned serious, carefully surveying the vast Star Sea of the Heavenly Realm beneath.
"Indeed, I have the same feeling. But that person is well hidden, knowing the sect's great formation well; otherwise, they couldn't evade our surveillance," Yun Xieyi nodded in agreement, but felt helpless about tracing the origin of the surveillance.
"It seems we can't avoid risking something after all," said Liang Yi, watching Fu Changxing hesitate. If they didn't act soon, things would really go south once Fu Changxing became suspicious of their movements.
"Senior Brother!"
As Liang Yi spoke, Su Youyi had already grasped his intentions; sharing so many experiences, she knew her senior brother's thoughts well. She did not object, but instead firmly grasped her senior brother's hand, her resolute gaze expressing her stance.
"I know, I know, I definitely won't leave you behind," Liang Yi scratched his head, his sister's quick wit was sometimes too much—he hadn't even said anything and she had guessed it all.
"Are the two of you playing a guessing game meow?" Mr. Orange felt lost, feeling insulted by their intelligence. How could he not understand a single sentence they had spoken?
"Don't worry, you also can't escape," Liang Yi grinned and patted Mr. Orange's head, reassuring that there was a role for him too.
"Why do I feel like this won't end well meow?" Mr. Orange's sixth sense told him that Liang Yi was definitely up to no good.
