Chapter 539: The Most Unlikely Possibility

So many stars... This Spirit Realm looks anything but simple; is the Ancient Immortal's Cave Abode still there?

Immediately, Lu Xun felt somewhat worried.

The Spirit Realm where the Ancient Immortal's Cave Abode is located is extremely special.

There are far too many stars in this Spirit Realm, a full thirty-six of them.

Thirty-six stars, together with one hundred and eight ordinary planets, formed a Stellar Grand Formation.

Upon reaching the Eighth Realm and above, one will inevitably study a bit of formation techniques.

Even without understanding formations, a glance at this spectacle shows that this Spirit Realm is extraordinary.

If, before Lu Xun, a spirit star had reached this node.

This Ancient Immortal's Cave Abode might have already been taken by someone else.

"The Astra Star is already far ahead... Are there any other spirit stars ahead?"

With doubt.

Lu Xun began to delve deeper into the Spirit Realm.

Gu Yao only said there is an Ancient Immortal's Cave Abode here, but didn't specify exactly where in the Spirit Realm it is.

From the situation of the Stellar Grand Formation, the Ancient Immortal's Cave Abode is very likely at the center of the Spirit Realm.

So many stars revolve around.

Placing the cave abode at the Spirit Realm's center is the correct solution for the Ancient Immortal.

However,

In the process of delving into the Spirit Realm, Lu Xun discovered some oddities.

He faintly felt that perhaps it wasn't that simple.

"This is best."

The more complex, the better.

If it were too simple, the Ancient Immortal's Cave Abode might have already been obtained by someone.

Lu Xun delved deeper while studying this grand formation.

He needed to find the formation's eye.

The Ancient Immortal's Cave Abode should be at the formation's eye.

After a day, he arrived at the center of the Spirit Realm.

"A black hole?"

The situation at the Spirit Realm's center surprised Lu Xun somewhat.

Here,

there is a black hole.

This black hole isn't large, but its gravity is also extraordinarily astonishing.

Lu Xun dared not get too close.

"So that's how it is."

After some observation, Lu Xun understood the Spirit Realm's operating principle.

Thirty-six stars and one hundred and eight ordinary celestial bodies together formed the Stellar Grand Formation, counteracting the black hole's gravity and using the black hole to form an even larger Stellar Grand Formation.

They have reached a delicate balance.

"Brilliant!"

What's more wonderful is,

A formation formed by over a hundred celestial bodies can accelerate the black hole's dark energy eruptions.

This black hole is somewhat special.

It belongs to the kind of black hole that periodically longs to erupt dark energy.

No wonder the dark energy concentration in this Spirit Realm is so high.

On those one hundred and eight ordinary celestial bodies, there are basically powerful aberrations.

Lu Xun even discovered a large number of Tenth Realm aberrations.

"Whose handiwork is this? An Ancient Immortal?"

Lu Xun couldn't help but speculate.

This Ancient Immortal is probably not at the Eleventh Realm, but a more formidable Red Dust Immortal.

Otherwise, how could one make so many stars revolve in circles?

After everything was understood.

The problem arose.

Where will the Ancient Immortal's Cave Abode be?

It surely can't be inside the black hole, right?

No matter how special the black hole is, it's still a black hole.

Even with Tenth Realm strength, it's difficult to reach the black hole's surface.

Everything around it is distorted.

This thing, even if it exists in the Dark Universe, is like a Divine Needle of Stabilizing the Sea fixed there.

The Ancient Immortal couldn't possibly place the cave abode inside it.

If the Ancient Immortal still exists, with his strength, he might be able to reach the black hole's surface and come out again.

But if its cave abode were placed there, it would be swallowed by the black hole.

"Right, this formation..."

Lu Xun suddenly thought of something.

The gravity of this black hole, although terrifying.

but the stellar grand formation composed of thirty-six stars and one hundred and eight celestial bodies is likewise not to be underestimated.

This black hole is not a massive black hole; if it were a massive black hole, stars could not exist within several light-years, or even tens to hundreds of light-years around it.

Its diameter might be just a few tens of kilometers.

In fact, if these thirty-six stars reach the end of their lives, they will expand into red giants, then collapse into white dwarfs, and finally possibly become black holes.

This is a stellar-mass black hole.

Therefore, the grand formation formed by these stars orbiting in this circle can maintain balance with the black hole and can also frequently trigger the black hole's Dark Energy eruptions.

So, is it possible that the ancient immortal, through this formation, kept his abode in balance with the black hole?

Is the ancient immortal's abode actually inside the black hole?

Even if not on the surface, it is extremely close to the black hole.

"Who knows how many years this has existed; even if there are cosmic aberrations that consume Dark Energy, the Dark Energy concentration here is off—could the excess have entered the ancient immortal's abode?"

"If that's the case... the ancient immortal's abode might really be inside the black hole!"

Lu Xun's eyes flickered.

From the perspective of the Tenth Realm, this seems impossible.

But how could an ancient immortal be merely of the Tenth Realm?

He is an immortal.

To ordinary people, it is the most impossible possibility.

Yet it is also the most likely.
