198: Chapter 198 Intrusion, Clues Discovered, Notification

At this moment, the Diling Sect's sect-protecting grand formation, the [Twelve Capitals Heaven and Earth Evil Array], was activated. Using the core Diling Sect array base and the 12 immortal cities surrounding the Diling Blessed Land as energy regulation nodes, it connected all key nodes within the blessed land to gather and channel energy.

Energy from countless mountain ranges, spirit mines, and spirit plants flowed into the high sky, converging into an energy shield that enveloped the entire ten-thousand-mile blessed land, propping up a massive canopy.

The three starship fleets originally stationed at the Diling Sect's core sect spaceport formed a formation and moved to intercept and destroy the assault ships that had entered [Qingxu Heaven].

However, before the battle could even begin, the longevity tribulation laws of [Qingxu Heaven] immediately began to erode the elderly Transcendent Life of the initial stage aboard the assault ships. Over a dozen phenomena of Dao-assimilation appeared, blooming like dozens of fireworks or ripples in the tense atmosphere.

Yet, compared to the hundreds of ships pouring down, these losses were insignificant for the five mid-stage factions.

What followed with the Diling Sect's three starship fleets was not close-quarters boarding combat.

As assault ships piloted by initial-stage Transcendent Life, they were not only equipped with standard energy shields and transcendent energy cannons, but with a first-tier superior-grade starship as the commander, they could also form an array domain with other ships of the same model to unleash energy attacks reaching the mid-stage level 1.

The hundreds of ships, led by their first-tier superior-grade starships, formed a cone-shaped battle array.

Pale blue transcendent energy surged out of the ships, synchronizing frequencies with the other allied ships.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz."

Frequent vibrations rippled through the cone-shaped battle array, much like a large swarm of bees discovering prey. The peculiar patterns on the surfaces of the ships activated, interlocking with one another. Using three ships as a triangular base unit, and three base units to form a larger structure, they finally coalesced into a massive blue cubic attack array domain.

Faced with such a formation, the Nascent Soul elders commanding the three starship fleets sensed the danger of this battle array. They brandished their respective Nascent Soul magic treasures to instantly tear through space, leading the fleets to charge into the center of the array domain.

The Transcendent Life aboard all the ships had not expected the spatial laws of this place to be so fragile, where even a mid-stage level 1 lifeform could already break through space.

Moreover, as they were fighting on away turf, unfamiliar with the local law environment, they were constrained in various ways.

Therefore, they stopped maintaining the battle array and decisively scattered, fleeing toward the outer sky; for them, this was merely a probe.

As expected, above the law crystal wall outside the sky, the Incarnation, using the high-level status of Golden Nature, observed the situation within these warships.

He discovered that the initial-stage Transcendent Life had returned to their own mid-stage warships, but the lifespan reduced by the longevity tribulation had not been restored.

Immediately, all Transcendent Life evacuated the ships and returned to the conventional sequence inside the mid-stage warships, leaving them to be controlled by the built-in artificial intelligence.

In less than half an hour, the five fleets completed their reconfiguration and deployment, transforming into unmanned ship groups, and re-entered [Qingxu Heaven] below.

However, this time they did not travel in a cluster but scattered around the entire middle region, beginning to scout and collect the energy distribution of the grand formation nodes in every location.

Consequently, the three Nascent Soul elders of the Diling Sect could only rush about exhaustively, trying to put out fires everywhere and prevent them from destroying earth veins, plundering spirit plants, spirit herbs, immortal city resources, and populations.

However, when the various factions discovered that the indigenous people here looked extremely similar to Three Human Races, they mistakenly thought that a branch of their civilization was located here.

It was not until they requested further instructions from the mid-stage and clearly collected information from all sides.

Through various means, they gradually learned the history of this cultivation world and were shocked to realize that this was not a ruin, but a powerful civilization that had floated up, and there even existed Soul Formation cultivators stronger than those mid-stage level 1 Nascent Soul cultivators.

Based on this situation, the five mid-stage entities reached a judgment with great tacit understanding.

"There must be a great secret here; this is no longer something that mid-stage factions like us can participate in."

They immediately made up their minds and used special methods to contact the high-stage factions behind them. Moments later, over a dozen communication ships sailed out from the warships, entering the white fog covering the continent, seemingly to transmit information to the outside world.

Although the laws within the white fog were complex, making it impossible to enter the Dark Universe for faster-than-light travel, and communications had been severed, it would not take long to sail out of this one-light-year continental world.

Naturally, the Incarnation would not sit idly by regarding this situation. Although the Blue Star human civilization behind him did not yet have the capability to explore ruins or harvest floating civilizations, he still had other high-stage civilizations of Three Human Races on his side.

Notifying them in time would also allow him to obtain significant resources and knowledge. Furthermore, he had already obtained the knowledge and items he could acquire with his own strength, and he only needed to wait for a critical moment to withdraw.

Blue Star, Tianhe Dojo, atop Tianhe Peak.

At this time, the [Guitian Array Domain Tower] had successfully promoted to second-tier low-grade. Its power covered the entire continent of Asia, and the array domain it regulated covered the entire Blue Star, extending to the satellite star cities already under construction in outer space.

Transcendent energy conversion had shifted from passive stellar energy absorption to active convergence, with hundreds to thousands of low-grade spirit essence crystals condensing and being produced with every breath. With massive amounts of materials added to the [Guitian Array Domain Tower] regardless of cost, it had climbed to a height of one thousand meters, divided into 99 levels, with each level having energy enriched to the first-tier level 3.

Countless spirit plants and spirit herbs grew here, and high-end laboratories, microscopic precision control laboratories, and energy particle property research institutes were all established in this place.

Outside of the transcendent cities, this was the place where the most Transcendent Life gathered. Important assets of various factions and high-level research institutes had spent great costs to apply for full access, making it arguably the safest place on Blue Star.

On the 99th level, one could overlook the entire Tianhe Dojo. If it were not for the clear warning from the [Galactic Extraordinary Council] to keep the energy concentration in the reality of physical material space below level 8, otherwise, it would be highly likely to fall into deep space, and the region covered by the dojo would all become a transcendent environment.

That is why the current transcendent cities build super-large transcendent artifact buildings and high-energy environments like the 99th level of his [Guitian Array Domain Tower], to avoid contamination by Heaven and Earth Qi, while simultaneously having the protection and isolation of transcendent laws to avoid the risk of falling.

Wang An, Cassandra, Di Qiling, and Savage sat cross-legged here, sipping tea. At this moment, Wang An spoke.

"Do you all know about that ruin located between the Sagittarius Main Spiral Arm and the Orion Arm?"

Savage, who was quite interested in such events, said.

"I actually just received the news not long ago. I saw that the True Person's Incarnation was also on that route. Did you happen to encounter that ruin? That is truly good luck."

Speaking of this, Savage felt a bit envious.

"It is not just that I encountered it, but it is not a ruin at all. It is a cultivation civilization that has floated up; it is a human cultivation world with the same physical appearance as our Three Human Races."
