Thinking of a method didn't mean that it would work.
First of all, one had to be able to carry out the method. The problem was how to break through the Great Formation of the Solar System and land on the ancestral planet.
Second, one had to be able to carry out the method.
It was evident that Jing Jiu didn't have the ability to do so, so he didn't have the courage to do so.
As for what the method was, Jing Jiu wouldn't tell him, and Zhao Layue wouldn't ask either.
She squatted by the wheelchair and looked at his face.
His face was perfect in the eyes of the world. She was the only one who could clearly see the small crack at the corner of his eye.
It was because she had seen it the most and paid the most attention to it.
And the small crack on his earlobe.
She pinched his earlobe with her fingers and rubbed it gently, saying, "I'll massage it for you if you feel uncomfortable later."
Looking at the scene reflected on the window and the red necklace on his neck, Jing Jiu sighed.
…
…
The long voyage was coming to an end.
The battleship passed through a warped black hole and completed the last space jump, jumping into a sea of stars.
The high-strength composite plates were opened, and everything outside the window could be seen clearly. Even the soldiers and soldiers who had been in the space all year round couldn't help but feel sentimental when they saw such a spectacular scene.
Even the central region of the galaxy couldn't have such a large number of stars.
Those stars were the battleships of the Federation of the Milky Way.
More than thirty thousand battleships were waiting for their arrival.
The largest fleet in the universe began to move, forming a river of stars that looked incomparably magnificent.
A gray command battleship was in the front.
The Snow Girl didn't need to pass through the warped black hole anymore. She flew out and stood on top of the battleship.
The small quilt in the underground apartment had been replaced by a red cloak made of super-tiny particles.
There was no wind in the space, but the red cloak was fluttering; it was because she thought it looked better.
That transparent block of ice was floating not far behind her. It was as if there was an invisible string tied to Xue Gie's body.
Hua Xi was floating and rotating slowly in the transparent ice cube with her eyes closed, as if she were a fetus in the womb.
Many battleships were observing and recording the scene.
They were so shocked that they didn't dare make any comments.
Not long after, a very small white dot suddenly appeared in the dark background of the distant universe, but it was obviously different from the stars in the distance, indicating that it was not far away.
The dim light passed through the glass and fell into the battleship. It didn't have any effect, but it made Jing Jiu squint his eyes.
The Ancestral Star was over there, so this little white dot must have been the original, real sun.
He thought of the saying from many years ago, "When you come to the human world, you must look at the sun."
I saw it for you.
…
…
Of course, the sun could be seen from Mars, and it was many times bigger and clearer than when seen from outside the galaxy. However, there was no need to calculate at all. Right now, the immortals on Mars could tell from their relative positions that the Sun was not where they saw it. It was also possible that it was not what they saw.
The seemingly mysterious but actually brutal and bloody battle of the immortals came to a temporary halt. The immortals of the previous generation stayed on the highest mountain, while Tong Yan and the others went to the base built in the early days of human civilization. The two sides maintained a distance of hundreds of kilometers, and at the same time, maintained extreme vigilance.
Other than the dead Daoist Wuwen and Chen Ya, there were many people on both sides who were heavily injured. The injuries and pain of the immortal body were not a problem for the immortals who had achieved great Dao, but there was no Qi of Heaven and Earth on Mars, and the Qi of the sun was isolated by the sword formation, so it was a very troublesome matter.
In the base, Tong Yan and the others had prepared enough pills, so it was better. Most of the immortals on the mountain peak came in a hurry and were unprepared, so they could not help but feel annoyed. The few immortals that were injured by Tong Yan and Peng Lang were even showing signs of worsening.
"The Ancestral Master should already know that we are at the Gate of Life … Even if it is to reassure us, he should have sent a message."
He Xian Gu retracted her gaze from the sky and said expressionlessly.
The immortals noticed that the place she was looking at was where Daoist Wuwen had died, and could not help but fall silent.
The Ancestral Master God Battering said tiredly, "An unstable Dao heart is our own business, what does it have to do with the Ancestral Master, and what does it have to do with the heaven and earth?"
The cliff became quiet again, with only the sound of the wind brushing against the gravel.
The resentful words and the unexpressed resentment meant that some of the immortals were already annoyed, but it did not mean that they would become the next Daoist Wuwen.
No one here had marked their thoughts, but no one had ever doubted the choice of the Ancestral Master of Aoyama, including Daoist Wuwen.
Daoist Wuwen wanted to avenge Mister Dan and express his dissatisfaction to the Ancestral Master of Aoyama.
He Xian Gu looked at Chen Ya and asked, "You should have a way to contact the Ancestral Star."
Chen Ya was, after all, a leader, and it was not appropriate to keep his body lying on the sand. At some point, an immortal took out an incense burner table from a spatial treasure, and two immortals in black carefully carried him up.
His arms were severed at the shoulder, and only a small part of his body above his chest was left. Placed on the incense burner table, it really did look like a half-body statue.
Chen Ya was only a breath away from death, so he naturally did not answer her question.
Seeing him in such a state, He Xian Gu felt even worse. "Only the leaders of the political circles can make half-body statues," she said. "You, a Cultivation practitioner, can't you beat in such a way?"
She was mocking him and angry at his helplessness, and it was also the consensus of the immortals of the previous generations.
In their eyes, Chen Ya's level was much lower than General Li's.
If General Li hadn't been killed by Jing Jiu in the galaxy beyond the fog, those juniors of Chaotian wouldn't have had the chance to come here.
"Sometimes, when I think about it, my mistake is not to hide in the base and calculate those stars, but to use it as an excuse to ignore these matters." Ceng Ju sighed, "Both the matter of the Immortal Chi Song and this matter are the same … I feel embarrassed whenever I think of myself as a hypocrite."
This statement was quite true. His face did feel a bit hot. He took out the fan and fanned himself a few times.
The air on Mars was thin, so the small fan couldn't produce any wind, which made him feel even more annoyed.
"Sir, try this one."
The voice of Liu Shisui rang out at the foot of the cliff.
The expressions on the faces of the two devil immortals in black changed abruptly, and the rest of the immortals were ready to fight. Even the wounded He Xian Gu and the others looked in that direction cautiously.
It seemed that Liu Shisui didn't notice anything. He flew to the top of the cliff, took out a paper fan, and handed it to Ceng Ju.
Ceng Ju took the paper fan and found it had the energy of Yimaozhai. He unfolded it and found it was indeed much bigger than his own fan. He took it after thanking him.
The immortals fixed their gazes on Liu Shisui.
They had been guessing what those juniors of the previous generation were up to, but they didn't expect him to come here.
"What have you been doing lately? How are you? "asked Ceng Ju.
Liu Shisui said, "They are calculating something, but I'm a bit stupid, so I can't figure it out."
Some of the immortals thought he was concealing it on purpose. They couldn't help but sneer, thinking that he was merely thinking of a way to dismantle the formation; there was no point in concealing it.
Ceng Ju unfolded the paper fan and said, "What's the matter?"
Whether it was an immortal, a demon, or a human, giving a gift meant that they had something to ask of someone.
"Tong Yan asked me to bring you a message," said Liu Shisui honestly.
He was the successor of many sects, but Yimaozhai's identity was the best, and he had countless treasures with him. He was the strongest after recovering from his injuries, so he was indeed the best candidate for the negotiation.
Ceng Ju closed the paper fan and gestured for him to continue.
"Tong Yan thinks that the Patriarch's plan isn't just for us, but also for the seniors." Liu Shisui paused for a while, then said, "He wants to use this Solar System Sword Array to trap all the ascending immortals, and kill them all if the situation goes awry."
He Xian Gu said expressionlessly, "This is the Life Gate."
As long as there was no blue light rope pointing out the coordinates and attracting the sword will, even the master of the array couldn't kill the people in the Life Gate.
"What if the Patriarch suddenly changes the array?" Liu Shisui said, "Tong Yan thinks that we should think of a way to break this array first, then we can talk about the rest."
"How absurd!" Gu Zuo sneered, "Let's not talk about how such a large sword array can be changed so easily, let's talk about why the Patriarch wants to kill us."
Liu Shisui said honestly, "I also can't think of a reason why the Patriarch wants to kill you, but Tong Yan said that it was his intuition, so he must have his reasons."
The Divine Battering Master laughed and said, "The word intuition is often used to cover up absurdity and embarrassment."
This statement indeed sounded absurd.
If Tong Yan wanted to use this method to sow discord, it would indeed be somewhat embarrassing.
Ceng Ju laughed bitterly and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."
Daoist Wuwen was already dead, Chen Ya was about to die, Master Yun was nowhere to be found, and there were still ten immortals on the tattered pirate ship.
No one would agree to Tong Yan's absurd suggestion.
"I'll go take a look as well."
The cold voice of He Xiannu rang out.
The immortals were all startled.
The Divine Battering Master looked at her and said with a grave expression, "Is this the path you've chosen for yourself?"
He Xiannu said expressionlessly, "Shouldn't you take a look first before deciding which path to choose?"
The Divine Battering Master said, "You're the only one who knows whether you're going to find a path or a person."
"It's none of your business," He Xiannu said.
…
…
Last night, another sandstorm occurred on Mars, filling the base with sand and dust. Fortunately, they were all immortals, so it was quite easy for them to clean up the place.
Yu Shan waved his sleeve, and the white snowflakes drifted down and froze those tiny grains of sand. Then, a gentle wind blew them out of the door.
There were still some stains on it. Su Ziye snorted coldly, and the demonic fire from the Sun Banner burned it all over quickly.
Que Niang called out dozens of bronze mirrors to bring in all the dim light from the outside. The room suddenly looked a bit brighter and cleaner.
Even some parts of the tattered robot began to glow.
The robot raised its two badly deformed mechanical arms and clapped slowly.
At the same time, the voice of Shen Yunmai burst out.
"The scan is done. It's so clean. If I want to put my head back on my body, I'll definitely invite you to do a sterile operation room."
This was the scene Ceng Juhe and the Xiannu saw when they arrived here with Liu Shisui.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Que Niang invited the two seniors to come in hastily.
Yet, the robot didn't stop clapping; it kept on clapping, and the clapping became faster and faster with a certain rhythm.
"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!"
Tong Yan walked over from the wall and said, "Shut up if you don't want me to stick my mechanical finger into your mouth."
The robot stopped moving immediately.
Tong Yan said to Ceng Juhe and the Xiannu, "The Great Grandmaster spent more than one hundred years to construct this great formation. If we want to break it, we have to pool the wisdom of all of us."
Liu Shisui said regretfully, "It's a pity that the others don't want to come."
Su Ziye said in a mocking tone, "You were fighting to the death a moment ago, but now you are in the same boat. Only an honest person like you would believe what Tong Yan said."
Tong Yan didn't heed him, and continued, "In fact, I want to invite the two seniors here."
Ceng Juhe was a Sage in Yimaozhai. He had been cultivating the art of calculation since he was a child. After he came to this world, he had been calculating the order of the burning stars in the 857 Base all year round.
He Xiannu was a daughter of a peasant family in Chaotian; but she had built many farming tools, water conservancy equipment and textile machines when she was still a mortal by virtue of her talent.
They were indeed the best candidates to break this great formation and solve the complicated mathematical problems.
"I didn't say I wanted to help you. I'm just here to take a look." Having said that, He Xiannu walked to the wall and looked at it.
The whole wall had been eroded by Su Ziye with the poison, but it was not smooth. Many complicated formulas and data were written on it.
"In fact, I think it's all in vain. Even if the Snow Girl or Jing Jiu were to come here, they still wouldn't be able to break this formation, let alone these two."
Shen Yunmai's voice rang out again after it had faded away for a dozen seconds.
"Don't try to provoke me," said He Xiannu.
Shen Yunmai remarked sentimentally, "Look, this is the problem of being too familiar with each other."
Ceng Juhe was concerned about another issue, asking, "You said that the Great Grandmaster set up this formation to kill all the fairy ladies; what's the basis for this?"
"Have you read The Path Toward Heaven?" asked Tong Yan.
Ceng Juhe nodded and said, "I've even played that game."
"Whatever Taiping Zhenren wants to do in Chaotian is the same as what the Great Grandmaster wants to do in this world," said Tong Yan.
Ceng Ju said, "It doesn't make sense, and it's illogical. Taiping Zhenren wants to train more Cultivation practitioners to deal with the heavenly demons of the outside world, or the threat of the Sea of Dark Matter, though he didn't know it at the time."
"This junior Taiping is indeed extraordinary," said He Xiannu approvingly. "He can predict what is happening outside the well even when he is at the bottom of the well, and he stands at a very high position and has a very powerful method."
With a bitter smile, Ceng Ju continued, "Now that we want to deal with the threat of the Sea of Dark Matter, why does the Great Grandmaster want to kill all the fairy ladies?"
The expression on Tong Yan's face didn't change, as he said, "I've heard from Liu Shisui about the Monk Great Compassion, or the Joyful Monk. If the Grandmaster thought the humans had no hope many years ago and had the same idea as the Monk Great Compassion, that is, to turn all humans into beings with souls, what would he do?"
It wasn't until now that the souls were still a realm that was hard to reach, be it in Chaotian or in this world, which was why it was called the forbidden zone. The extreme action of the Joyous Monk couldn't be supported by anybody. If the Great Grandmaster of Aoyama had the same idea, then … he might have killed all the fairy ladies first.
This was the first time that Yuan Qu, Que Niang and the others had heard Tong Yan make such a dreadful deduction; they couldn't help but feel startled.
It was quiet in the room.
It didn't take long before Ceng Ju shook his head and said, "The Great Grandmaster is not the Joyous Monk, but he is similar to Jing Jiu. A confident person like him wouldn't do such a thing."
Tong Yan said, "If I remember correctly, the person behind the Pastoral Capitulation Sect is called Qiming; it should be him."
Ceng Ju still didn't accept his deduction, waving his hand frantically.
Tong Yan didn't insist, saying, "Please help us think about this problem."
Looking at the densely packed numbers on the wall, Ceng Ju soon found the key point. "Isn't it about to be calculated?" he asked with a slightly changed expression.
What they had been calculating over the last few days was the description of the formation eye of the Solar System Sword Formation.
If the mathematical description of the formation eye was accurate enough and had enough dimensions, it would be possible to determine its spatial coordinates.
"A few values are not correct. Let alone the energy description, the mass of the formation eye has a problem."
Tong Yan continued, "The mass of the formation eye we calculated is too great, even greater than that of Pluto. There is no such celestial body in the solar system."
The handle of the Solar System Sword Formation, which was composed of the eight planets arranged in a formation, was naturally excluded from the selection of the formation eye.
Ceng Ju thought this was indeed a problem. He lifted his wrist to bring out the terminal and started running the programs on the wall again.
"It's a battleship," Fairy Nun He suddenly said.
Her voice was devoid of emotion, but the others' emotions were fluctuating violently.
Que Niang let out a soft cry, feeling both upset and surprised.
