Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The Transmission Jade Talisman's spirit light flashed briefly, and Xu Ping'an nodded: "Elder Sister's side has already received the news; at her speed, she'll be back in half a day at most."

Xu Zhangqing gave an "Mm," and didn't say anything more.

While waiting for Linglong to return, he didn't intend to stay idle.

Tai Xu Lie Yuan — this name itself is quite interesting.

The two characters "Tai Xu" are by no means casually chosen.

In the ancient texts of the Myriad Heavens and Zhutian Wan Jie, "Tai Xu" refers to the primordial state at the universe's birth, when chaos was undivided and laws had not yet been established.

And the reason Tai Xu Lie Yuan bears this name is probably not merely because of its geographical location connecting the Myriad Heavens and Zhutian Wan Jie.

More likely, the deepest part of this chaotic land still hides something related to "Tai Xu" itself.

Xu Zhangqing had obtained a cultivation method from the Corpse-Release Immortal, named the "Taixu Formula."

This cultivation method isn't powerful, but it possesses a characteristic no other cultivation method has.

After cultivating to the Third Tribulation, one can sense the location of the Primordial Star Core in the depths of Tai Xu.

Its location exists within a single thought; those who haven't achieved cultivation cannot glimpse it.

Xu Zhangqing casually practiced it at the time, not expecting to find any Primordial Star Core in the Beidou Star Domain.

After all, the Beidou Star Domain is a mature star domain developed over countless ages; even if there truly were a Primordial Star Core, it would have been taken by senior Great Powers long ago.

But this place is different.

Tai Xu Lie Yuan has been chaotic for who knows how many tens of thousands of years; even absurd situations like Fan Shi Jie can exist, showing this region's deep structure has never been sorted out by anyone.

It's extremely likely a Primordial Star Core is hidden here.

Xu Zhangqing stood at the cliff edge, slowly closing his eyes.

The Taixu Formula quietly circulated within his body, and his Divine Sense began extending outward in a way completely different from the conventional.

Like waiting for some echo in the silence.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Xu Zhangqing's eyebrow twitched.

He sensed it.

In the deepest part of Tai Xu Lie Yuan, an extremely faint yet incomparably ancient aura was resonating with the Taixu Formula.

That feeling was like a heart beating in the darkness.

Xu Zhangqing opened his eyes, thinking secretly: "There really is a Primordial Star Core."

He glanced back at Xu Ping'an: "I'm going to handle something; you wait for Linglong here."

Before Xu Ping'an could even open his mouth, Xu Zhangqing had already summoned Kong Ling.

As seven-colored flowing light spread, his whole person transformed into a colorful ribbon streaking toward the depths of Tai Xu Lie Yuan.

However, the deeper he flew, the more wrong the surrounding scenery became.

The dark gold rocks disappeared, replaced by a stretch of black wasteland.

The stones on the ground looked as if scorched by high heat, their surfaces covered in honeycomb-like holes.

Some holes even retained dark red light, like solidified magma.

In the air permeated a scent of scorched metal.

The laws all around began to become unstable.

The Five Elements Laws here seemed twisted by something.

The Fire Law fluctuated strong and weak.

The Water Law was intermittent.

The Earth Law completely vanished in a certain district.

Space itself also became unreliable; distant mountains would suddenly flash, appearing at another position, then flash back.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing slowed his speed.

He noticed, at the edge of this region, several remaining ruins.

One look showed they were extremely ancient; only a few half-sections of stone pillars and shattered remains were left.

It appeared more than one batch of cultivators had attempted to explore here, but all were ultimately deterred by the unstable laws of the Outer Perimeter.

Like this, flying further in for roughly an incense stick's time, Xu Zhangqing arrived at the Primordial Star Core's sensed location.

The environment here was completely different from the Outer Perimeter.

On the black wasteland stood an isolated peak.

The isolated peak wasn't high, roughly a hundred zhang, shaped like a sharpened stone shoot, piercing straight toward the dome.

The peak body was pitch-black like ink, its surface smooth as a mirror, reflecting the aurora flowing overhead, the scene extremely dreamlike.

And within three li around the isolated peak, space was quiet.

Laws no longer fluctuated, space no longer flashed, even the wind stopped.

Too quiet.

Quiet to the point of being somewhat off.

Xu Zhangqing did not rush to approach, but instead released his Divine Sense to carefully probe a full circle.

Then, he discovered the reason.

This Isolated Peak itself is a super-large Law Suppression Spiritual Node.

It suppresses all Law Fluctuations within three li of its surroundings into an extremely narrow Range Internal by Consuming itself.

In Other Words, this Isolated Peak is using its own power to maintain the Stability of this area.

The energy Consumed by this Method is terrifyingly strong.

But the black stone quality on the Isolated Peak's Surface shows no sign of decay whatsoever, indicating the energy source does not Belong to the Isolated Peak itself.

Xu Zhangqing formed a judgment in his heart.

At this moment, his Gaze Condensed.

Only see at the Isolated Peak's mountainside, a black Kong Jian Lie Wen slowly opened.

This rift was only about a foot long, its Edge presenting a Serrated Shape irregular form.

The rift's interior was not the deep purple or dark blue usually seen in Void Rifts, but a pure, Absolutely Heise with no light reflection whatsoever.

Xu Zhangqing's Divine Sense swept past, yet passed through the rift, but detected nothing.

Of course, this does not mean there is nothing inside; on the contrary, it means the rift's internal space is not in the current Dimension.

Strangely, the rift only maintained for Three Breaths.

Then, like a pinched mouth, it suddenly closed.

Not a second off.

Three Breaths arrived, it disappeared Clean.

The Isolated Peak was still that Isolated Peak, the space was still that quiet space, As if nothing had Occurred.

But at the Instant the rift disappeared, Xu Zhangqing sensed a Spirit Power Wave emanating from its interior.

Moreover, the Spirit Power Wave produced Resonance with the Taixu Formula.

If no Surprise, the Yuan Xu Star Core is inside this rift.

Xu Zhangqing circulated the Taixu Formula again, this time he Compressed his sensing Spiritual Range to the extreme, entirely concentrated around the Isolated Peak.

Then, he Captured it.

This rift is not randomly Appearing; it connects to an extremely powerful energy Spiritual Node at the Isolated Peak's Bottom.

That Spiritual Node's energy density far Surpasses anything in the surroundings, like a miniature Sun Compressed to the size of a Needle tip buried beneath the Isolated Peak.

Moreover, the rift itself is not a simple Kong Jian Lie Wen, but an extremely ancient spatial teleportation mechanism.

Every time it Appears for Three Breaths, after disappearing it will Appear again at some unpredictable time point.

To enter, right now there are only two Methods.

One is wait for it to Naturally Appear, seize the Three Breaths time to drill inside.

Two is forcibly tear it open.

Xu Zhangqing did not Hesitate, Decisively Chose the second.

He raised his Right Hand, Palm facing the Isolated Peak's mountainside.

Yuan Xu in palm, this spatial divine ability quickly formed.

Yuan Xu, Belong to an extreme application of Space Law.

It can create an independent miniature Abyss in the Palm, produce terrifying suction, tear apart, pull, and devour everything around!
