Now, the group led by Zuo Dao resembled pioneers, searching for every possibility on this desolate planet. The news brought by Tang Fengyue greatly uplifted Zuo Dao's spirits.
Zuo Dao was well aware that in ancient times, each Star Domain had a Teleportation Array leading to the Celestial Realm. However, these Teleportation Arrays were somewhat peculiar, with little description even in memory; it was only known that celestial energy could trigger fluctuations in the Teleportation Arrays.
Dozens of Heart Refinement-crafted detectors were distributed to the leaders of the Side Door Battle Team, and during this period, the attendance of each Squad far exceeded any previous time.
Tang Fengyue recalibrated the course towards their target and recalled the other Squads still scouting outside. The Battleship had undergone Zuo Dao's re-forging, infused with a significant amount of Starlit Metal, resulting in an astonishing level of defense.
Withstanding the ten rounds of attacks from the Twelve Holy Sons, Zuo Dao was quite satisfied with this outcome. It was worth noting that today's Saint Child was vastly different from before; the first one was nearing a state of great accomplishment, significantly enhancing the overall strength of the Heterodox.
What pleased Zuo Dao even more was the successful forging of twelve types of warships, akin to the carriers of divine beings in interstellar warfare, with increased offensive capabilities. Each outing of the Side Door Battle Team relied on these types of Battleships, while Zuo Dao commanded from the center.
As they approached their target, Zuo Dao sensed something unusual. The Battleship moved gracefully through the starry sky like a fish swimming in water. After traveling several hundred thousand miles, they finally reached their destination.
When Zuo Dao first laid eyes on this blue planet, it reminded him of Earth from his past life; viewed from space, it appeared just as blue and vibrant.
During their months of travel, everyone had only seen Dead Stars—desolate, monotonous, devoid of any vitality—which had weighed heavily on their spirits. If they weren't cultivators, someone might have gone mad by now.
Upon seeing this planet, everyone felt as if they were experiencing a long-awaited rain after a drought; their hearts were filled with refreshing joy.
The Battleship numbered seven had already hovered above the planet and quickly returned to its team upon seeing the arrival of the Sideway Battleship.
To be honest, Zuo Dao had never expected to discover anything on a living planet. The Teleportation Arrays from ancient times had all been destroyed in warfare; those that survived were exceedingly rare. Thus, Zuo Dao had been searching within areas known as Star Domain graveyards.
However, this suddenly appearing planet left Zuo Dao uncertain about what to do next. He felt compelled to descend but sensed that the fluctuations indicated by Tang Fengyue did not resemble those emitted by a Teleportation Array; rather, they seemed like an artifact from a celestial being.
Zuo Dao did not consider the dangers present on the planet too deeply. With the might of their Battleship and the presence of the Twelve Holy Sons, they could sweep through the entire Great Star Domain without issue based solely on their combat power.
Yet, the sudden and bizarre appearance of this planet was unsettling.
It was akin to a living person suddenly sitting up amidst a pile of corpses that had lain silent for millennia—immensely strange. They absolutely had to investigate it; however, this time Zuo Dao planned to take only Yan Zhen and four others with him. The rest would remain on board, ready to respond to any emergencies.
The entire celestial body did not appear very large. Compared to the countless living stars within the Star Domain, which could stretch for millions of miles, this star could only be considered small.
With a diameter of millions of miles, this celestial body seemed extremely delicate. However, Zuo Dao did not dare to let his guard down. The aura emanating from this star indicated that if there were any living beings on it, they would undoubtedly be very powerful—just like the presence Zuo Dao had sensed in front of the Supreme Academy.
For safety's sake, Zuo Dao decided to let Yan and the Sitting Forgetting Five enter the Wangfeng Platform first while he planned to cross over alone. Even if something unexpected happened, he felt confident in his ability to handle it.
However, as soon as he entered the vicinity of this celestial body, he realized he had made a grave mistake.
It was as if this star had a self-defense system, exhibiting a strong repulsion against foreign objects. Even at the outermost edge, he felt a powerful force preventing his advance—something he had never encountered on other celestial bodies.
No matter how great the resistance of a planet might be, it usually manifested only as gravitational pull. During his travels, Zuo Dao had experienced such planets before. Some had gravity so intense that it pressed him down, but this star was entirely different; it was actively repelling him.
Zuo Dao finally understood why this star had never been visited: it was simply too exclusionary. Although he did not know the reason behind it, his determination to explore further only grew stronger.
This planet was isolated from the Living Star Cluster, existing alone within the Dead Star region. It was removed from the mundane world yet seemed to be sinking into hell.
Zuo Dao even sensed a hint of will emanating from this celestial body.
"Humans keep away."
He could not explain why he felt this way, but the sensation was undeniably real. This star seemed extremely unwilling to be disturbed; it bore no malice but simply sought to expel intruders.
As Zuo Dao's Divine Sense approached this planet, it felt as though he were sinking into a swamp—every step became increasingly difficult, and he could not glean even a hint of what lay within this star.
There must be some secret hidden within this celestial body. This region of space had been the largest battlefield since ancient times; everything within it had been destroyed in that Battle, leaving even the stars lifeless. It took billions of years for a planet to form and perish.
In this universe, what was truly powerful were not the Cultivators but these vibrant celestial bodies.
Zuo Dao lingered for quite some time without finding a way in. With each inch he advanced, the repulsive force grew stronger. After moving only a short distance, Zuo Dao felt that he could no longer counteract that repulsion and sensed that he might be flung back at any moment.
What could possibly cause this planet to reject foreign entities so vehemently? Zuo Dao pondered for a long time before arriving at a potential explanation—Compatibility.
If he did not want this planet to reject him, the only way was to gain its acceptance. But how to achieve that acceptance remained a matter for discussion.
In the short term, there were no better solutions. Zuo Dao decided to return to the ship and listen to the opinions of others, hoping to find a good method to resolve this issue.
When he rejoined Yan Zhao and the others on the ship, Tang Fengyue looked at him with a strange expression.
"Master, this planet is peculiar. None of the instruments on the ship can detect specific information; instead, many have been destroyed by an unknown force."
Tang Fengyue knew that everything on the ship had been personally crafted by the master, each instrument impressive in its function. This was not at all in line with the crafting methods and habits of this Star Domain; these instruments were simply exceptionally effective. Yet here, they were rendered completely useless.
After listening to Tang Fengyue's report, Zuo Dao thought for a moment and then waved his hand dismissively.
"Don't worry about it. Just tell me which instruments were damaged, and I'll replenish them later. Additionally, all actions regarding this planet are to be halted until I make further arrangements."
Tang Fengyue nodded and left. He was fully devoted to Zuo Dao now; with a master like him, what more could he desire?
At that moment, a wave continued to Teleport around them. Zuo Dao attempted to trace the ultimate direction of the wave but discovered that it merely circled around the planet.
More questions began to arise in Zuo Dao's mind. He could never find real answers from outside; only by entering the interior of this celestial body could he unravel these mysteries.
A formation? No, that couldn't be it. Restriction? Also unlikely. One by one, Zuo Dao eliminated potential answers. Compatibility was both easy and difficult.
As long as he pinpointed the exception point, this problem would be easily resolved. But what exactly would that point be? It certainly wouldn't be a physical object. Token or Flag—definitely not. So what could it possibly be?
The Three Women surrounded Zuo Dao with troubled expressions, while the Twelve Disciples had no better ideas either. Thus, Zuo Dao repeatedly approached various tests, searching for any better method to enter this planet.
Each failure did not discourage him; instead, he felt an increasing sense of closeness to success. During one moment of distraction, he actually stumbled upon a solution.
The will of the planet does not shift according to human desires. Generally, any planet that has transcended individual will becomes a stronghold of top-tier powers. Zuo Dao could be certain that this planet had not yet been mastered by anyone. If that were the case, it would not be a matter of rejection but rather outright annihilation.
He was quite sure that this planet possessed the capability to kill him; however, the cost would be enormous, potentially turning him into one of the many beings from the Dead Star surrounding it.
With this thought, Zuo Dao felt a sense of calm wash over him. Just then, he suddenly noticed that the resistance in front of him had decreased significantly. When he focused again, he found that the previous force had returned.
Could this anomaly be related to his emotions? A spark of realization flashed in Zuo Dao's mind.
This was something he had never considered before—that the will of a planet could be connected to a person's feelings.
With this in mind, Zuo Dao felt that things might become much easier. The Sitting Forgetting Sutra, Great Dream Heart Sutra, and Supreme Ascension Spell were all closely tied to his own emotions.
Ultimately, he chose to experiment with the Sitting Forgetting Sutra. He had yet to fully grasp this particular cultivation method. The other two mind methods were similar; since arriving in this world, he had not practiced any offensive cultivation methods—only mind methods. Yet even so, his combat power remained unparalleled in the Great Star Domain.
Although the essence of the Sitting Forgetting Sutra began with the concept of "forgetting," Zuo Dao knew it could not be that simple.
If there are idle clouds, one does not steal fleeting life.
This was just one line from the Sitting Forgetting Sutra, and as Zuo Dao recited it again, he felt a different resonance within himself.
If there truly are floating clouds, can I really spend half a day in leisure?
