"Be careful!"
Ling Dong and Sect Master Niu warned each other at the same time. However, even though the two of them had been paying attention for a long time, the extremely faint barrier had appeared extremely suddenly. There had not been any energy fluctuations before it had appeared.
It was as if it had suddenly appeared right next to Ling Dong's face and then shot over. Even though Ling Dong's reaction was extremely fast, the barrier had still retreated. The moment the barrier had appeared, it had suddenly retreated.
However, his nose still felt sour, and the tears that he had not seen for a long time flowed out uncontrollably. Ling Dong's entire face had been struck by a powerful force. Borrowing this force, Ling Dong's figure had been sent flying. He flipped a few times in the air before he managed to disperse the powerful counterforce that had struck his face.
At the same time, Sect Master Niu's miserable cry suddenly rang out. When Ling Dong looked over, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
This was because Sect Master Niu's head was bleeding again. His injuries were not serious. His forehead was bruised and swollen, and the bridge of his nose had collapsed slightly. Blood was flowing out of his nostrils. This was even under the circumstances that he had been prepared for this.
Ling Dong now understood why Sect Master Niu and the others had been scared away by the appearance of a barrier. No matter what, Sect Master Niu and the others were still Star Monarchs.
What kind of existence were Star Monarchs? Not to mention overturning mountains and seas, there was no problem for them to shatter mountains and split seas with a single move. They were definitely god-like existences in the eyes of ordinary people.
However, it was precisely such existences that had been smashed by a barrier that had suddenly appeared that had caused them to bleed. How terrifying was this barrier?
However, everyone, including Ling Dong, understood that it wasn't the barrier that was terrifying. Instead, it was the almighty who had set up the barrier. If a barrier that had been casually set up was already so powerful, then how powerful was this almighty?
The reason why this almighty had set up a barrier here was very obvious. He did not want others to enter the range of the barrier. It was not strange that Sect Master Niu and the others had been scared away.
Ling Dong also furrowed his brows as he stared at the spot where the light screen had magically disappeared after appearing abruptly.
Actually, there was nothing suspicious about this. The short and fat Bai Han had said long ago that when this Big Dipper Star Palace appeared, all the old monsters in the Long 'an Territory that could be called had all run here. All of them were eagerly waiting for the Big Dipper Star Palace to completely open.
Thinking about it, this invisible barrier light curtain must have been set up by one of the old monsters or these terrifying existences. Their intentions couldn't be more obvious.
He did not want other unrelated people to come and disturb them, nor did he want this Heavenly Dipper Star Palace to be divided by others.
This was exactly what Ling Dong was worried about. Judging from where the barrier had appeared, most of the Star Dou Mountain Range would be trapped within the barrier. Let alone getting close to the Big Dipper Palace and finding the source of that mysterious feeling, he wouldn't even be able to enter the Star Dou Mountain Range, let alone get close to the Big Dipper Palace.
"First Supreme Elder, are you alright?!" Sect Master Niu cleaned up his appearance and asked with a gloomy expression. He didn't expect that he would still fall for the same trick on his second visit. He became even more vigilant.
However, his gaze towards Ling Dong was filled with admiration. His head was broken and bleeding time and time again, but this First Supreme Elder in front of him seemed to be completely fine. How could he not admire him?
However, he didn't know that this was the effect of Ling Dong's Little Zhou Tian Divine Physique. Even with the cultivation of the Little Zhou Tian Divine Physique, he still fell for it when his nose bridge was attacked. However, the two lines of tears that flowed down Ling Dong's cheeks had long been evaporated by Ling Dong's Mysterious Technique.
"I'm fine." Ling Dong muttered to himself for a moment. He was still a little unwilling to give up. "Sect Master Niu, is this Star Dou Mountain Range completely sealed off by this barrier, and no one can enter?"
Although the short and fat Bai Han had a secret path, it was very difficult to guarantee that the secret path was within the Star Dou Mountain Range. Moreover, the current Ling Dong was definitely not the kind of person who would believe whatever others said.
However, the short and fat Bai Han wanted to enter the Big Dipper Palace. Ling Dong had to search for some information as well, so that he wouldn't be completely in the dark when the time came.
"This … First Supreme Elder, I'm not too sure about this. Most of the martial art practitioners from the Valley of Smoke and Fire that came here were like us. When they encountered this barrier, they were scared away and didn't dare to have any thoughts about it. As for the other directions, I haven't really tested it yet. "Sect Master Niu answered.
"That's fine too. Then you go back first. I'll go scout the path and return in a while!" After thinking for a while, Ling Dong made this decision. The main reason was that he was afraid of causing trouble. It would be troublesome if he implicated Sect Master Niu.
Ling Dong's old saying was that no one was perfect. Although Sect Master Niu was not very particular about some things, for the True Dipper Sect, even if they were of the same strength and under the same circumstances, Ling Dong might not be able to do it better than Sect Master Niu.
However, Sect Master Niu rejected Ling Dong's good intentions and insisted on leading the way for Ling Dong. Even if Ling Dong took out his so-called authority as the First Supreme Elder, it was still not enough.
Helpless, Ling Dong could only bring Sect Master Niu along with him.
As the saying went, three people made a tiger. It was very convenient to have someone leading the way. At least, the so-called core area of the Star Dou Mountain Range that Sect Master Niu had pointed out was definitely within the protection of the barrier. They circled around it, and didn't trigger the invisible barrier.
However, this way, they had lost Ling Dong's original intention. They couldn't test the protective range of the hidden formation. Strangely enough, no matter whether Ling Dong threw a rock or flicked an azure energy into the barrier, there was no reaction.
Fortunately, there weren't many living beings in the Star Dou Mountain Range. Otherwise, Ling Dong would definitely catch dozens of them and throw them out one by one to test the barrier.
After spending some time, they circled around to the north of the Star Dou Mountain Range. Ling Dong still couldn't test the range of the invisible formation, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
After thinking for a while, he made a decision. He ordered Sect Master Niu to back off, and Ling Dong relied on the Little Zhou Tian's divine body to barge in. He could basically confirm the location after just one attempt.
"You must be careful, First Supreme Elder!" Sect Master Niu exhorted.
Ling Dong advanced cautiously. The protective Qi around him shone brightly, and his eyes were calculating his position. When Ling Dong's figure charged past the thirty-six main peaks of the Star Dou Mountain Range that Sect Leader Niu had drawn out, a faint radiance suddenly appeared. It was like a balloon had suddenly inflated as it viciously crashed towards Ling Dong.
This time, Ling Dong was already prepared. He also had the intention to test the barrier. With a thought, he froze where he was, and allowed the invisible barrier to slam into him.
When Ling Dong froze, it was as if he had taken root. Even though the barrier instantly shattered his protective Qi, the Little Zhou Tian's divine body still stood tall.
"Bam …"
After a muffled sound, Ling Dong's body swayed. The faint formation barrier suddenly shrank back. Just as Ling Dong's expression relaxed, and he revealed an expression that said 'that's all there is to it', the formation barrier that had just shrank back suddenly surged back.
"Scram!"
There was an explosive shout hidden in the barrier's power that surged back. It was like a thunderclap, and it directly struck Ling Dong's mind. A spiritual shock wave that could destroy everything in its path rampaged through Ling Dong's sea of consciousness.
Ling Dong did not have time to be surprised. He could only focus and calm his soul instinctively. Even the eyes of his spirit opened abruptly, and he urged his spirit's power to resist this thunder-like spiritual attack. At the same time, the Starfall Disk suddenly began to spin, and it scattered a large amount of seven-colored starlight.
Ling Dong, who was using all his strength to resist this thunder-like spiritual attack, was sent flying by the rebounding barrier. He left a trail of freedom in the air.
Sect Master Niu, who was waiting behind, suddenly paled. His expression twisted, and thin lines of blood flowed out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. His eyes were filled with shock.
The moment the thunderclap ended, somewhere in the center of the Star Dou Mountain Range where the 36 Big Dipper Peaks gathered, an old man stared at a pool of steaming hot spring water and curled his lips in disdain. "An ant-like thing dares to come here? You're courting death!"
After he finished speaking, his Divine Consciousness directly landed on the spring water that he was paying attention to. In his mind, even a Starry Sky Venerate would die under his attack.
What was even stranger was that there were no less than twenty white-haired old men sitting in groups of twos and threes on the various peaks opposite this old man.
Even sect master Niu had been affected by the thunderclap's roar. If Ling Dong had not forcefully received the full force of the attack, sect master Niu's spirit would have probably been dispersed by the thunderclap's roar.
This was because just the lingering sound was enough to make the sect head Niu's eyes dim. The lingering sound from before had already caused irreversible damage to the origin of his soul.
Sect master Niu understood that his cultivation was probably going to be stuck at this level for the rest of his life. Even if he could forcefully raise his cultivation, his progress would be limited.
Even though he was dejected, sect master Niu still turned around and went to find Ling Dong, the great elder. He did not complain at all, because in his heart, Ling Dong was the future hope of the True Gang Sect.
As for his own future, it was no longer important to someone who had dedicated his life to maintaining the sect.
"Sect master Niu, you …" When sect master Niu turned around, a figure had already shot toward him. It was Ling Dong, who had just neutralized the thunderclap's spirit attack.
There was no need to ask. Ling Dong naturally knew what was going on with sect master Niu. After pulling sect master Niu back several hundred meters, Ling Dong's Divine Sense moved. He gathered a ball of seven-colored starlight and sent it into sect master Niu's forehead.
After a few breaths, sect master Niu looked at Ling Dong with an extremely shocked gaze. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his experience in that instant could be described as a rollercoaster ride between hell and heaven.
A moment ago, he had almost given up on his future.
However, in the next moment, Ling Dong casually gave him endless possibilities. The ball of seven-colored starlight that Ling Dong casually gave him had not only healed the damage to his spirit, but it had also healed the old wounds that had accumulated over the years.
He had never been so confident about his cultivation future as he was now!
At this moment, sect master Niu knew very well that anything casually given to him by the first supreme elder was a priceless treasure no matter where it was placed! This was because every martial artist who had cultivated to this point would have old wounds of various sizes on their spirit. However, that treasure could heal all old wounds and allow one's spirit to reach the Nascent Perfect Realm. It was as valuable as it could be.
However, the first supreme elder had casually given it to him!
With that in mind, sect master Niu suddenly understood something!
If you treat me with sincerity, I will treat you with sincerity!
Sect master Niu suddenly asked as he looked at Ling Dong, who was gazing at the thirty-six main peaks of the Star Dou Mountain Range, "First supreme elder, do you really want to enter the Star Dou Mountain Range?"
Ling Dong, who had no idea that his casual actions had caused sect master Niu to have such thoughts, replied casually, "That's right. I have some connections, so I must enter. However, it's extremely troublesome right now!"
"If that's the case, I have a way to enter the mountain. Perhaps it can fulfill the first supreme elder's wish!" said sect master Niu.
"What?"
Ling Dong was stunned at first. When he came to his senses, his eyes lit up like stars, and his face was filled with joy.

PS: Happy Lantern Festival, brother!
I don't know when, but I've already lost the fun of my childhood. Instead, I feel tired, very tired! Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and there are fireworks in the county. I've decided to take some time to take my daughter to see them.

So beautiful!
So beautiful!
