The moment Yun Lintian stepped into the star river, he was instantly dazzled by the myriad starlights, forcing him to close his eyes. At the same time, his Divine Sense was blocked by a formidable barrier, which prevented him from perceiving his surroundings.
Yun Lintian also felt as if he was being pulled away by an irresistible force. This entire process lasted for a minute until Yun Lintian found solid ground to stand on.
When he opened his eyes, Yun Lintian immediately saw several floating islands in the vicinity, surrounded by a star field. Above everything was a gigantic firmament adorned with brilliant starlight. At the bottom, there was a long and dazzling spiral staircase that led to a large floating island in the far distance.
Yun Lintian quickly glanced around. The floating island on which he stood resembled an ancient city. Dilapidated walls could be seen everywhere and the ground was dried up. It was an abandoned ghost town that no one had stepped foot in for thousands of years.
Human figures appeared one after another around Yun Lintian amidst the flash of starlight. They were also observing their surroundings as soon as they landed. Some looked serious, others puzzled, and there were also those whose faces were full of excitement. However, none of them acted rashly.
As Yun Lintian's gaze swept over his surroundings, all he saw were unfamiliar faces. Ling Zemin's group was nowhere to be found here. Without a doubt, everyone was sent to random locations.
"Senior Brother Mo, where are you?" Suddenly, a female voice resonated from behind, capturing everyone's attention. The girl was delicate, easily evoking sympathy from a man.
"It seems that everyone has been sent to a random location." A middle-aged man dressed in black said after realizing it.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"That staircase should be the most important place here. "Does anyone want to go with me?" He said further.
Everyone came here to seek their fortune. It would be beneficial for them to avoid a conflict. Hence, people would rather form a team than travel alone in this unknown place.
As the middle-aged man made his proposal, everyone quickly gathered and headed toward the island on the far side of the staircase. Yun Lintian, the delicate girl, and a few practitioners who chose not to join them were left behind.
Yun Lintian was unhurried to move as he needed to familiarize himself with the environment first. The Sea of the Stars existed for ages, and countless people had entered this place. Why didn't he see anyone else here besides the newcomers?
"My name is Bai Xue from the Ancient Snow City. May I know the name of this brother?" Suddenly, the delicate girl walked over and cupped her fists toward Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian turned to her and said. "I'm Ye Xiaolong. A wandering practitioner."
"So, it's Brother Ye." Bai Xue said with a smile.
BOOM!!
Just as Bai Xue was about to say something further, muffled thunderous sounds echoed from the distance ahead, followed by a meteor storm bombarding the group of people who had just left.
Wails and screams filled the air as they were bombarded by explosive meteors, leaving them with no means of defense.
"Ah!" Bai Xue exclaimed in horror as she witnessed this tragic scene. If she had decided to go with them earlier, she would have also faced this deadly meteor storm.
Yun Lintian furrowed his brow, looking at the scene thoughtfully. The power of that meteor storm was at least equivalent to the first level of the Divine Sovereign Realm. There was no way these people could survive.
The problem was, where did these meteors suddenly come from?
Yun Lintian didn't feel anything prior to this. It was as if the meteor storm was a trap triggered by these people.
Thinking about this, Yun Lintian observed the surroundings through the Eyes of Heaven and soon discovered peculiar clusters of star energy moving within the star field. These groups of star energy were more intense than other star energy flows and seemed to be alive as they moved toward the practitioners up there.
A trap? Thought Yun Lintian. He immediately felt that the star field around him resembled a landmine field. The most important thing was that these "landmines" were difficult to detect because they blended with the surrounding star energy flows. Yun Lintian wouldn't have noticed it without the Eyes of Heaven.
"W-What should we do?" Bai Xue's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Those people were stronger than her, yet they died tragically. How was she going to survive here?
"You should be safe as long as you stay here. You could see that the meteors didn't even hit the nearby islands." Yun Lintian said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xue and the others immediately took notice. It was indeed the case.
"But anything can happen. There's no guarantee that it will be like this forever. You should decide for yourself. It's your life, after all." Yun Lintian looked at Bai Xue and said.
Yun Lintian's words immediately shattered the brief relief in Bai Xue and the others' hearts, making them sweat again.
"This... Brother Ye. Why are you so calm?" Bai Xue asked timidly.
Yun Lintian shrugged. "Since I have decided to come here, I should prepare for the worst-case scenario, right?"
It wasn't that Yun Lintian was chatty or anything; he just found it convenient to talk with her while observing the surroundings.
Bai Xue opened her mouth several times, but no words came out in the end. In fact, she was brought to this place by her senior brother. Who would have thought that it would be so dangerous here?
If Yun Lintian knew what she was thinking, he would definitely question her sanity.
"This little brother. Have you found a way?" At this moment, a middle-aged man with a dignified demeanor stepped forward and inquired. "Please forgive me for being rude. My name is Quan Zhenkang from the Stone Forest Realm."
Yun Lintian glanced at him and said. "With your peak Divine Sovereign profound strength, it shouldn't be a problem. I suggest that you go to the nearest island first and find a way forward from there."
Quan Zhenkang turned to look thoughtfully at the star field. A moment later, he cupped his fists and said. "Many thanks, little brother. I'll take my leave first."
With that, Quan Zhenkang leaped off the island and soared towards the nearest island on the right side...
