"As you said, the traces in your starry sky are indeed the precursor to the invasion of the Star Abyss. I'm afraid it won't be long before the invasion of the Star Abyss officially begins!" The smile on the Fort Master's face disappeared. Instead, he revealed a trace of reminiscence, "If we can't deal with the Star Abyss Gate in the early stages, the fate of the starry sky will be slowly nibbled away."
"Star Abyss Gate …"
"It's that red vortex insect path. According to what you said before, you should have seen it."
Lu Ye nodded. The Star Abyss Gate and the Star Abyss Insect Path were the same thing; they just had different names.
"Fort Master, may I ask how to deal with the Star Abyss Gate?" Lu Ye quickly asked.
The Star Abyss Gate on the Thousand Forms Sea had been sealed by the Constellation Hall, but there was more than one Star Abyss Gate. The invasion of the Star Abyss had already shown signs. In the future, many Star Abyss Gates would appear in the starry sky. If they could find a way …
"I don't know!" The Fort Master shook his head, "Isn't it ridiculous? It's been three hundred years, but so far, no one knows how to deal with the Star Abyss Gate. "
"No clue at all?" Lu Ye's expression was grim.
"Someone proposed a conjecture. Since the Star Abyss Gate opened from the opposite side when the Star Abyss invaded, could it be possible to go to the opposite side and find a way to destroy the Star Abyss Gate? Then, someone went there, but … there was no news. No one knows whether they are dead or alive."
Lu Ye was silent. Those who dared to go to the Star Abyss from the starry sky were definitely the strongest echelon of cultivators in the Single Essence Starry Sky. Even so, there was no effect. This showed how dangerous the Star Abyss was.
After a moment of silence, the Fort Master said, "Although I don't know which starry sky you came from, since you can't go back, then stay here. In any case, we have the same enemy." While speaking, he looked at Jiu Yan, "Moreover, this Dao Friend should be in the stage of forging his Dao Foundation. This place may be an opportunity for you."
Jiu Yan had not spoken, and it was Lu Ye who talked to the Fort Master. At this moment, he finally couldn't help but ask, "May I ask what cultivation level the Fort Master is now?"
"My cultivation …" The Fort Master scratched his face with his fat hand, "According to the division of the Star Abyss, I should have entered the Dao Realm."
"Dao Realm …" Jiu Yan murmured.
The Fort Master chuckled. "Being entangled with the Star Abyss for so many years, it's not like we didn't gain anything. Although it's getting harder and harder for the cultivators at the bottom to break through, the cultivators at the top have made quite a bit of progress instead. The so-called Dao Realm is the realm after forging the Dao Foundation. These are all the information that we've scouted out from the Star Abyss. It's just that the Dao Realm is a general term, and there are even more detailed divisions. You don't have to understand these now.
Jiuyan's face was filled with longing. He had been stuck on the path of cultivation for so many years, and he finally saw the light at this moment.
The Castle Master knew what she was thinking: "Before the Star Abyss invaded, this Starry Sky Cultivator faced the same predicament as your side. After reaching the Deity Realm, there was no way to advance any further. It was only after the Star Abyss invaded that this situation changed." At this point, he sneered. "Back then, countless cultivators wanted to find a way forward, but they were trapped and couldn't. In the end, they obtained it in this way. How sad and regretful."
He waved his hand and said, "You can stay in the castle for now. I'll get someone to send you some things later. What you choose after that is up to you."
"Many thanks, Castle Master!" Lu Ye quickly thanked him.
A moment later, a tall woman walked in from outside and led Lu Ye and Jiuyan away.
In front of a three-story building, the woman stopped and said, "This will be your residence. The Castle Master instructed that if the two of you need anything in the future, you can send a message to me and I will prepare the appropriate things for the two of you."
Hearing her voice, Lu Ye finally reacted. The other party was the cultivator who wore the armor from before. She immediately cupped her fists and said, "Many thanks, Fellow Daoist."
"There's also these." The woman handed over some jade slips. "The Castle Master asked me to give these to the two of you. The two of you can take a good look at them. They should help the two of you better understand the current situation."
Lu Ye thanked her again.
The woman left. Lu Ye and Jiuyan glanced at each other and then walked into the three-story building.
A moment later, on the third floor, the Senior Sister and Junior Brother sat across from each other. They each held a jade slip and immersed themselves in it.
The jade slip that Lu Ye was looking at gave a detailed introduction of the many big and small events in the starry sky during the three hundred years of the Star Abyss's invasion, as well as the many changes in the starry sky.
The more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable she felt because many of these records corresponded to the starry sky on the other side of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea.
After checking one jade slip, she picked up another one. This jade slip recorded the situation of the various frontlines, allowing Lu Ye to have a clearer understanding of the situation on the battlefield.
While she was reading seriously, Jiuyan suddenly exclaimed, "This is …"
"What's wrong?" Lu Ye quickly looked up at her and saw Jiuyan's excited expression, as if she had seen a treasure. She directly handed the jade slip in her hand to Lu Ye, "Junior Brother, take a look at it yourself."
Lu Ye picked it up and was shocked, "This is a method to establish one's Dao Foundation!"
This jade slip might not have much value in this starry sky because this was already a widely circulated method. As long as one's cultivation reached the peak of the God Realm and had the qualifications to establish one's Dao Foundation, they could receive a copy.
However, if this thing was placed in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, its value would be immeasurable. It would definitely cause the various major forces to fight for it!
What did the peak Sunshine experts in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea lack? What they lacked was a method to establish one's Dao Foundation. That was why those peak Sunshine experts couldn't advance any further.
When Jiuyan asked the Fort Lord about his cultivation, she had considered asking him how to establish one's Dao Foundation. However, since she and Lu Ye had just arrived, it wasn't appropriate for her to ask about it.
Who knew that the Fort Lord would give it to her directly?
This might not be a big deal to the Fort Lord, but to Jiuyan, it was an unimaginable gift!
Lu Ye looked into it and found that the method to establish one's Dao Foundation was called the Furnace Method. It required one to use one's own body as a furnace, fusing one's foundation into the furnace. Only by putting oneself in a desperate situation could one establish one's Dao Foundation.
Moreover, this method had special requirements for the environment.
A normal starry sky didn't meet the requirements for establishing one's Dao Foundation. It could only be used in a place covered by the aura of the Abyss Star. Currently, the places covered by the aura of the Abyss Star were the frontlines of the battlefield!
It wasn't easy to establish one's Dao Foundation in such a dangerous environment.
Moreover, the method itself was extremely dangerous. It required one to use one's own body as a furnace, fusing one's own foundation. It would be fine if it succeeded, but if it failed, all one's foundation would be burned away. The best outcome would be losing one's cultivation. Worse, the furnace would shatter, and one's Dao would vanish.
Jiuyan could tell how dangerous this method was. After her excitement, her expression turned serious.
The two stayed in the Thunder Battle Fortress for a few days.
What Lu Ye was worried about finally happened.
"Junior brother, I want to go to the frontlines!"
Lu Ye knew that Jiuyan wouldn't be indifferent after obtaining the Furnace Method. This was her lifelong pursuit. Now that her hope was right in front of her, how could she turn a blind eye to it?
If Lu Ye was in her shoes, he would make the same choice.
Therefore, he didn't stop her. He nodded and said, "Let's go together."
Jiuyan said, "You should know why I want to go. You..."
Lu Ye interrupted her, "Since you're already here, you can't just stay in the fortress and wait for death. If you want to establish your Dao Foundation, you need someone to protect you."
Jiuyan pursed her red lips. Just as Lu Ye knew he couldn't persuade her, she also knew she couldn't persuade Lu Ye. After a moment of silence, she said, "Thank you!"
Lu Ye shook his head. Going to the frontlines wasn't just because of Jiuyan. Even if Jiuyan didn't exist, he would still make the same choice.
Since he had made his decision, he didn't hesitate.
Soon, the two of them flew out together.
Over the past few days, the woman had come again to distribute communication items to Lu Ye and Jiu Yan, as well as to register the two of them.
Because it was very difficult for an ordinary communication object to display its usefulness after entering the area covered by the Star Abyss's aura, this Starry Sky cultivator had continuously experimented for the past three hundred years. Combined with some information obtained from the Star Abyss's visitors, he had once again refined something similar to a musical note.
Although the communication range of this object was limited in a place covered by the aura of the Star Abyss, it was at least much better than ordinary musical notes.
The cultivators of the Thunder Battle Fort didn't have too many restrictions on entering the battlefield. Apart from some special operations that required some experts to lead the team, the cultivators were free to move as they wished.
This was also why Lu Ye didn't see too many cultivators when he came here a few days ago. Most of the cultivators were on the battlefield. This stronghold was just a place for them to rest and recuperate.
In this battlefield, there were hundreds of similar strongholds that served the same purpose.
After leaving the stronghold, the two of them moved forward together. After only two hours, Lu Ye felt that he had entered a different world.
The surrounding scenery didn't change at all, but it felt different.
He knew that they had entered the edge of the battlefield because the aura of the Star Abyss was already here. The omnipresent aura of the Star Abyss had a strange suppressive property. It didn't suppress the cultivators' strength, but other aspects.
For example, the range of spiritual sense detection, or the distance of sound transmission...
The scope of this battlefield was extremely vast, and at the centermost area was that red vortex-like Star Abyss Door!
When this Star Abyss Gate first appeared, it couldn't be stopped in time. The rich aura of the Star Abyss spread out from the gate, eroding the Starry Sky of Unity. It constantly spread out, causing the battlefield to grow larger and larger. Moreover, this expansion was maintained all the time.
Because of this, the closer one got to the center of the battlefield, the richer the aura of the Star Abyss.
And this aura of the Star Abyss was like water to the Star Abyss Guests. Once those weak Star Abyss Guests left the range of the aura of the Star Abyss, their strength would be greatly reduced. (End of Chapter)
