Chapter 514: Spanning the Starry Skies, Spatial Turbulence, the Dagyuan Immortal Realm!
Chapter 514: Spanning the Starry Skies, Spatial Turbulence, the Dagyuan Immortal Realm!
High above, the Voidcraft, transformed into a streak of light, continued to ascend under Lu Qing’s urging.
Soon, it entered the Gale Layer.
Instantly, the sky was filled with gale winds and gale thunder, surging toward the Voidcraft, intent on destroying this foreign object.
The terrifying power was nearly impossible for even a Core Formation Realm expert to withstand.
Without a protective talisman, one would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant.
Fortunately, the Voidcraft was made of an extremely peculiar material, and the arrays inside were incredibly profound.
Countless gale winds and gale thunder struck the craft, but they did no damage.
Instead, they were absorbed like stones into the sea, swiftly consumed by the craft and transformed through the arrays into energy.
This caused the Voidcraft’s speed to not only maintain but even increase, swiftly breaking through the Gale Layer and arriving before a chaotic, membranous layer, plunging into it.
Immediately, Lu Qing felt a blur before his eyes, and he found himself in an open expanse.
The surroundings were empty, and ahead lay a brilliant expanse of stars.
“Was that the World Membrane just now?”
Lu Qing turned to look behind him.
There, a vast world was enveloped by a chaotic, membranous layer, emitting a faint glow in the vast emptiness of space.
“Even the pressure of a Minor World is so formidable. How much more incredible must the Intermediate and Major Worlds be?”
Lu Qing felt a profound awe as he sensed the immense power of the world.
Xiao Li and Wu Xing, standing on his shoulders, were also filled with awe.
Witnessing a complete world up close in the vastness of space for the first time was a profound shock to their spirits.
Even their Dao Hearts, already at the Core Formation Realm, were greatly stirred.
After observing for a long time, Lu Qing felt his own Dao Heart become more solid.
He turned to face the starry sky ahead. “Let’s go. I hope there are even more wondrous sights awaiting us ahead.”
With a mental command, the Voidcraft transformed into a streak of light, flying toward the distant, radiant stars.
“Hmm? The Voidcraft’s speed has increased significantly since entering the starry sky. Is it because there’s no suppression from the world’s rules?”
As he urged the craft, Lu Qing realized that the Voidcraft’s speed was increasing very quickly.
In a short time, it had already surpassed the speed limit he could achieve in his home world.
Moreover, the amount of mana required was much less.
After a moment’s thought, he understood the reason.
In his home world, both the speed of talismans and cultivators were suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth, with a certain limit.
Approaching that limit would trigger a warning from the laws of heaven and earth.
If one insisted on increasing speed despite the warning, it could provoke the Heavenly Will, leading to punishment and expulsion from the world.
However, in the starry sky, there was no suppression from the Heavenly Will, nor any atmospheric restrictions.
The Voidcraft’s speed naturally skyrocketed, far exceeding what it had been before.
“Excellent. This way, the time spent on the journey might be less than I expected.”
Lu Qing was pleased and continued to increase the Voidcraft’s speed.
However, when the speed exceeded a hundred times the limit of his home world, he suddenly felt a chill.
The rate of mana consumption began to increase dramatically.
In the blink of an eye, he had already consumed one-tenth of his mana, which alarmed Lu Qing, and he quickly reduced the speed of the craft.
Feeling his mana consumption return to normal, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
With his Perfect Golden Core, even one-tenth of his mana was a significant amount.
Even the total cultivation of a high-ranking Third Stage Golden Core cultivator would fall far short of that.
“It seems that even in the starry sky, one cannot recklessly increase speed.
A hundred times the speed limit of the home world is a critical point.
Beyond this point, each increment of speed requires a doubling of mana consumption.”
Lu Qing came to a clear understanding.
With this realization, he no longer continued to increase the speed.
He maintained the Voidcraft’s speed just below a hundred times the home world’s limit and inserted a spirit stone into the craft’s array.
The Voidcraft could be powered by pure mana or by spirit stones.
Given the uncertain conditions in the starry sky and the potential dangers, Lu Qing did not want to waste his mana unnecessarily. He primarily used spirit stones to power the craft.
Dividing his attention to control the craft’s flight, Lu Qing also took out a Stellar Map to check his direction and avoid getting lost.
In the dark starry sky, the Voidcraft continued to fly forward.
Ten days later, Lu Qing noticed that the starry sky ahead remained unchanged.
The surroundings were pitch black, with only the occasional drifting meteoroid visible.
The light from his home world had long since disappeared from sight.
"No wonder my home world isn’t recorded on the Stellar Map; this dark void is truly vast."
Lu Qing was inwardly shocked.
After all, he had been piloting the voidcraft at a speed a hundred times faster than the limit of his home world for ten days straight.
Even a Primordial Soul Realm powerhouse would need several months of non-stop travel to cover such a distance.
More importantly, even after all this time, Lu Qing was still far from seeing any sign of the end of this dark void.
But this was within his expectations.
If this dark void were so easy to cross, the powerful deities from the previous era of cultivation wouldn’t have either returned empty-handed or vanished without a trace.
Thus, Lu Qing didn’t lose heart and continued to patiently pilot the voidcraft forward.
Another month passed, and the voidcraft still hadn’t left the dark void.
But on this day, Lu Qing suddenly felt the voidcraft shake and start to spin out of control.
At the same time, a powerful spatial force was pulling the voidcraft forward, trying to drag it into the unknown.
"Spatial turbulence? And such powerful spatial turbulence?!" Lu Qing was alarmed.
Ahead lay a vast region of spatial turbulence, so extensive that even with his powerful divine soul, he couldn’t sense its boundaries.
"Ah Qing, it’s spatial turbulence. We can’t continue deeper, or we’ll be trapped and never escape."
At this moment, Xiao Li, Female also issued a warning.
As a spirit beast with spatial arts, she could sense that the region ahead was filled with chaotic and twisted spatial energies.
Once they got caught in it, they would face serious trouble.
"I know!"
Lu Qing understood the severity of the situation and immediately piloted the voidcraft backward.
Fortunately, they were only on the edge of the spatial turbulence, so they easily broke free from the spatial force and retreated.
However, after retreating, Lu Qing found himself at a loss. He couldn’t sense the boundaries of the spatial turbulence ahead.
Moving forward was out of the question; if they were drawn into the depths of the turbulence, who knew what might happen.
If they were sealed in a spatial vortex, they would truly be in a dire situation with no way out.
"It seems we’ll have to go around."
After some consideration, Lu Qing decided to pilot the voidcraft to the right, hoping to circumvent the spatial turbulence.
However, after two days of rapid flight to the right, his expression darkened again.
The spatial turbulence ahead was still there, with no sign of reaching its edge.
"Could it be that this spatial turbulence spans the entire starfield?"
Lu Qing found it hard to believe, but the two days of flight had convinced him that the region of spatial turbulence was far larger than he had imagined.
Even if it didn’t span the entire starfield, it was certainly a vast distance.
"Ah Qing, what do we do?"
Xiao Li, Female, looking at the vast spatial turbulence ahead, was also at a loss.
Lu Qing calmed down and thought for a moment before saying, "We can’t keep going this way. If the spatial turbulence covers a larger area than we expected, we might deviate from the Stellar Map’s guidance."
"So, what do you plan to do, Ah Qing?" Xiao Li, Female asked.
"We’ll have to take a gamble."
Lu Qing took out a mid-grade spirit stone and inserted it into the voidcraft’s array.
Then, his mind surged, and the layers of the array on the voidcraft lit up, generating powerful spatial energies around it.
In the next moment, a spatial vortex appeared ahead, and the voidcraft plunged into it, vanishing from sight.
Not long after, in a radiant starfield, another spatial vortex appeared, and an ancient, somewhat battered silver voidcraft emerged.
"Ah Qing, we made it out!"
Seeing the radiant starfield around them, Xiao Li, Female shouted excitedly.
"Did we succeed?"
Feeling the calm around them, Lu Qing finally relaxed.
Indeed, his guess was correct. The voidcraft’s ability to traverse space allowed them to cross the spatial turbulence.
After all, the two extraterrestrial visitors had discovered his home world because they had triggered an ancient teleportation array and used the voidcraft’s spatial traversal ability to cross half the immortal realm.
This proved that spatial traversal could indeed cross the region of spatial turbulence.
Snap!
At that moment, a crisp sound interrupted Lu Qing’s thoughts.
Looking up, Lu Qing saw that the mid-grade spirit stone he had placed in the array had developed cracks.
This was a sign that the stone's spiritual energy had been depleted. Lu Qing immediately replaced it with a low-grade spirit stone.
"I didn't expect to use up a mid-grade spirit stone like this", Lu Qing said, feeling a bit pained.
The reason he hadn't immediately used the void traversal technique the previous days was that he wasn't sure how large the area of spatial turbulence was.
He was worried that the distance covered by the void traversal might not be enough, and they could end up trapped in the spatial turbulence.
To avoid this, he had used a mid-grade spirit stone to maximize the voidcraft's traversal ability.
Now, it seemed that the effect was quite good.
At the very least, they had successfully crossed the area of spatial turbulence.
Of course, losing a mid-grade spirit stone still pained him.
Mid-grade spirit stones were extremely precious, and he didn't have many to begin with.
During this journey, he had been using low-grade spirit stones to power the craft.
Losing one suddenly was not easy to bear.
However, this experience gave him a clear understanding of why the mighty Primordial Soul Realm cultivators from the previous era of cultivation couldn't find a way through the stars.
It was likely because of the spatial turbulence.
The spatial traversal technique was incredibly profound.
Only those who had reached an extremely high realm and survived multiple tribulations could possibly master it.
According to what Ancient Long Gui had said, most of the Primordial Soul Realm cultivators from the previous era were at a similar level.
They had just entered the Primordial Soul Realm.
The few who were slightly stronger, Lu Qing guessed, might have reached the realm of the first or second tribulation.
At this level, even if they had some understanding of the spatial arts, they would likely still be unable to cross the area of spatial turbulence without special spatial artifacts.
"Perhaps this is why, over the past tens of thousands of years, none of the Primordial Soul Realm cultivators who left have returned to their homeland.
I wonder if they all perished in the spatial turbulence or if they managed to cross this barrier and successfully broke through."
Lu Qing thought to himself.
Of course, this was just a guess.
To know the truth, he would need to encounter a cultivator from the previous era or their descendants.
After calming his emotions, Lu Qing took out a stellar map and began to survey their location.
He had maximized the voidcraft's traversal ability to ensure they crossed the area of spatial turbulence.
He wasn't sure where they were now.
"Have we officially entered the Dagyuan Immortal Realm?"
After a short while, the stellar map confirmed their location, and a smile appeared on Lu Qing's face.
They were now in the Dagyuan Immortal Realm, though still some distance from the center.
However, they were no longer in the barren regions.
"The voidcraft is truly remarkable. This single traversal has covered a distance that would take a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator years of continuous travel."
Thinking this, Lu Qing felt less pained about the mid-grade spirit stone he had lost.
However, even so, he was still reluctant to use another mid-grade spirit stone for travel.
"From now on, we'll use the conventional method to travel. It's also a good opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the Dagyuan Immortal Realm."
With this decision made, Lu Qing continued to pilot the craft according to the stellar map's guidance, heading towards their destination.
Over the next few months, Lu Qing and Xiao Li, along with Wu Xing, traveled while admiring the starry scenery.
At first, they found it very novel, but after a few days, they became numb to it.
While Lu Qing needed to control the craft, Xiao Li and Wu Xing began to enter closed meditation.
Of course, Lu Qing didn't focus all his attention on the journey.
He had practiced the technique of dividing his spirit, so he only needed a small portion of his mind to control the craft's direction.
Most of his time was spent cultivating and refining his dao techniques.
A few months passed.
Along the way, Lu Qing discovered several worlds, but they were mostly minor worlds, far from his goal.
So he didn't approach them and simply passed by.
However, one day, as the voidcraft passed by another world, it suddenly shook as if it had hit something.
At the same time, a cold voice rang out.
"Truly fortunate, to encounter a few brats traveling through the stars. Get down here!"
