Chapter 101: The Shattered Star Sea
Dream-Making Expert
The dark starry sky was eternal and vast.
Deprived of the light of stars, the collapsed galaxy was left with only endless streams of nebula matter, hidden away in the dark starry sky.
Like an archipelago sea shrouded in thick fog.
It made any ship entering this shattered galaxy liable to run aground and capsize at any moment.
At this moment, a massive Star Armor Ship extinguished all its lights, carefully advancing through the darkness, finally settling within an asteroid belt fully ten thousand kilometers across.
“We can’t go any deeper.”
“The ship will remain here for five years.”
“Each of you choose a direction and explore this asteroid belt.”
“Remember, do not go deeper into the starry sky.”
“Also, if you encounter other cultivators, hide yourselves as best you can.”
After the Star Armor Ship stopped, the Foundation Establishment Elder leading the group called the disciples over and instructed them.
The crowd nodded in acknowledgment, then split into groups of two or three and disembarked onto the asteroids. Carrying hopes of heaven-sent fortune, they each began exploring in different directions.
Two of them advanced eastward. In the dark, profound vision, faint flickering glows occasionally appeared, impossible to tell whether real or illusory.
Extremely dim, distance unknowable.
Impossible to distinguish whether it was the radiance of some treasure hidden within the nebula matter, or starlight projected from infinitely far away.
Or perhaps simply a trap laid by some demonic path rogue cultivator.
This was the Shattered Star Sea.
A star system destroyed in a shocking great battle.
It was also a Dark Forest that many cultivation worlds within a thousand light-years considered the graveyard of low-tier cultivators.
Every cultivator who came to the Shattered Star Sea seeking treasure was both hunter and prey.
There was no morality here. No light existed.
Like a lawless land.
In theory, most nearby cultivation worlds should have directly classified the Shattered Star Sea as a Forbidden Zone, forbidding cultivators below the Golden Core from entering.
But existence was reasonable.
As an ancient battlefield left behind after a battle between great powers, the Shattered Star Sea itself retained all manner of fortuitous encounters.
No matter how dangerous, to many low-tier cultivators, it was naturally full of temptation.
And cultivation was not solely about burying one’s head in bitter training.
Struggling for supremacy in the darkness was itself part of cultivation.
After all, the Dao of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm destined that its cultivators could not possibly remain aloof from the world.
On the contrary, the deeper one’s cultivation.
The more the cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm had to fight.
