Chapter 1887 Star Mark Record
On the second level of the truncated cone, twelve prismatic crystals of different colors, each about the size of a thumb, are neatly arranged, with miniature stars seemingly sealed inside.
Ye Yan walked to the round platform and first looked at the book.
He reached out his hand, and the book opened automatically the moment his fingertips touched the cover.
The inner pages are not text, but a series of dynamic, three-dimensional images and runes composed of light patterns, with information flowing into the mind through direct transmission of thoughts!
"The Seventh Observatory Log, Star Mark Record..."
The vast stream of information includes the original purpose of building this observation station, detailed explanation of its functions, some records of the guardians of past generations, continuous observation data of the Eye of the Ruins, and a summary of the principles of the Zhou Tian Zhen Xu Grand Array.
And... the approximate location and contact information for the other six observation stations!
Although much of the information is incomplete due to its age or the passing of the recorders, it is still of immeasurable value!
Ye Yan suppressed the throbbing pain in his soul caused by receiving a large amount of information and quickly browsed the key parts.
They quickly found a way to leave.
The observatory itself has short-range directional transmission capabilities, but it requires energy to start and the target coordinates must be clearly defined.
The energy source is the twelve prismatic crystal star core fragments on the circular platform. This is a highly concentrated and stable source energy of space collected and purified from the surrounding star-falling areas by the observatory.
The compass-shaped device, called the Star Track Instrument, can be used to calibrate orientation and set transmission coordinates within a specific range. It can also sense other star nodes or energy fluctuations of the same origin within a certain distance.
“Coordinates need to be set… Spirit Realm, Wanchuan Sect…” Ye Yan frowned.
He had a general sense of the spatial coordinates of the Spirit Realm, but as a spatial cultivator, he could not accurately describe the specific coordinates of the Suspended Mountain of the Wanchuan Sect.
Perhaps... we could try setting a general location for the Western Regions of the Spirit Realm, and go back first.
Just as he was about to take action, another piece of information in the log caught his attention.
That was a special warning left by Star Mark, concerning the chaotic light and mist at the center deep within the observatory.
"The whispers of the Void are all-pervasive; to observe their essence, one must remain true to oneself. However, the core of the Myriad Things Returning to Origin Instrument within the station, having been imbued with the aura of the Void over the years, has undergone a transformation, becoming a self-contained entity, almost a living thing."
"Unless absolutely necessary, do not approach, do not explore, and do not use the Star Pivot Command to trigger its deeper reactions... Remember this!"
Ye Yan felt a chill run down his spine.
That chaotic light mist was indeed dangerous; it might even have generated some kind of uncontrollable consciousness or instinct.
He suppressed his curiosity about the core and focused on the immediate matter of leaving.
Following the instructions in the log, he picked up the star tracker.
The instrument feels warm to the touch, and the multifaceted crystal in the center lights up automatically, projecting a miniature, ever-changing starry sky.
Ye Yan combined his own perception of the spiritual realm and the Western Regions with the faint guidance of the soul tablet, and infused it with his divine sense into the star track instrument.
The starry sky image on the instrument began to rapidly rotate and zoom, eventually settling on a relatively familiar star field outline, and marking a flashing point of light—the approximate coordinates of a certain place in the Western Regions, which he had set based on his perception.
The accuracy is not high, and the error may be hundreds of miles, but at least the direction is correct.
Then, he carefully removed three star core fragments from the second layer of the pedestal.
According to records, short-distance interspatial teleportation only requires a portion of the energy from a single fragment.
But to be on the safe side, he decided to use three.
He embedded the three fragments into the three corresponding grooves on the first edge of the truncated cone.
hum!
The circular platform glowed with a soft, silvery-white light, and a small teleportation array about six feet in diameter appeared on the surface. The light spot at the center of the array faintly echoed the coordinates marked on the star track instrument.
Become!
Ye Yan breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put away the "Star Mark Record" and the Star Track Instrument, and prepared to step into the teleportation array.
However, just as he lifted his foot...
The entire sealed chamber—no, the entire pyramid observation station—began to shake violently without warning!
It wasn't an attack from the outside, but rather originated from deep within!
A vast will, a mixture of endless thirst, frenzied whispers, and icy malice, was suddenly awakened and erupted from the chaotic light and mist of the Origin-Returning Instrument at the very core of the observation station, like a slumbering primordial beast being startled!
boom!
The terrifying impact of will was like an invisible tsunami, sweeping across every corner!
The faint light in the dome of the secret room flickered violently, and the crystal mirrors on the walls shattered one after another!
The teleportation array on the circular platform flickered, as if it might collapse at any moment!
"Oh no! It's that thing! It's been triggered? Could it be that my use of the star core fragment, or my setting of coordinates using the star tracker, caused it to react?!"
Ye Yan's expression changed drastically, and he was horrified.
Star Mark's warning echoed in his mind.
Without hesitation, he used all his strength to lunge toward the center of the crumbling teleportation array!
We must leave before the teleportation array is completely disrupted and destroyed!
Just as his body was about to disappear into the array of light
That terrifying will seemed to have locked onto him. A viscous, cold, gray, tentacle-like thought, seemingly capable of corrupting the soul, arrived first, traversing space and suddenly wrapping around his soul!
"Go away!"
Ye Yan roared, visualizing the Earth Mountain Soul Suppressing Diagram in his mind, while pressing the Star Pivot Token in his hand hard against his brow!
The Star Pivot command shone brightly with silver light, unleashing an ancient and majestic stellar protective power that collided violently with the gray tentacles!
laugh!
The gray tentacles were instantly scorched and mostly melted by the power of the stars, emitting a silent shriek before retracting.
However, extremely cold and filthy thoughts still penetrated the protection of the star power and entered the edge of Ye Yan's sea of consciousness!
Ye Yan was struck as if by lightning. His vision went black, and his soul was torn apart by excruciating pain and icy coldness. His consciousness blurred instantly.
He only had time to instinctively curl up, clutching the Star Pivot Token and the logbook and star tracker in his arms, before he was completely engulfed by the light of the teleportation array.
In the final moments before he vanished, one could vaguely "hear" a twisted will, filled with endless malice and greed, emanating from the core:
“The… aura… of Star… Mark…”
"key……"
"return……!!!"
"..."
……
The Spirit Realm, located in the northern part of the Western Regions, is a desolate Gobi Desert.
Ji Zhou's support team from the Battle Hall is rushing at top speed, based on the coordinates attached to the communication talisman of Master Lingxu.
They rode in camel boats that were propelled by the wind, moving at great speed and kicking up clouds of dust.
"Faster! Faster! The Crimson Flame Fox's injuries can't be delayed!" Ji Zhou stood at the bow of the ship, urging them on anxiously.
According to the coordinates, Master Lingxu and his group should be near a sheltered rocky mountain less than a hundred miles ahead.
Suddenly, without warning, an irregular spatial rift appeared in the sky ahead, its edges shimmering with chaotic silver light!
Immediately afterwards, a figure was thrown out of the gap like a rag doll and fell straight down into the Gobi Desert!
