Chapter 18: The Death Star
"Alright, here we are, and according to the star map, the planet below is the Arcturus we want to go to. After driving the star field shuttle and flying rapidly for more than half a month, Ye Qiuli and the others finally arrived at the target planet smoothly, looking down from the endless high altitude, the colorful glow emitted by the birth of the artifact on the arcturus was presented in front of everyone's eyes at a glance, which was really conspicuous and distinct to the extreme.
"Yes, looking at its colorful glow, it is indeed very different from ordinary planets, no wonder it can attract the attention of the entire cultivation world and stir up a storm out of thin air. It's really impossible not to attract attention to this strange appearance. Hearing Ye Qiuli's narration, and then carefully observing the specific situation of the planet below the shuttle, Zhou Xian also nodded clearly.
The planet under their feet is indeed gorgeous and vivid to the extreme, and the periphery of the entire planet is completely surrounded by the colorful glow of the Dao, and it can be seen clearly from the distance of several planets. This extraordinary heaven and earth anomaly, even if it was not a sign of the birth of an artifact, must contain other important information, and any cultivator with sufficient experience could judge that something terrible must have happened in it.
Therefore, this planet eventually attracted the entire cultivation realm to be restless, it is really a normal thing, even if there are no cultivators from the Tianyin Hall to intervene in it, it will still develop into the current state in the end, on the entire planet, I don't know how many top masters have gathered, and ordinary cultivators in the out-of-body period and distraction period have no ability to stand in it at all, let alone cultivate people who are lower than it.
Fortunately, the vast majority of the people are the top masters in the merger period and the tribulation period, and there are one or two peerless masters in the middle who are not weaker than the third or fourth tribulation scattered immortals, after really landing on Arcturus, even if they can't compete head-on with those top forces, and personally intervene in the competition for the birth artifact, it is enough to ensure the safety of their own lives, and if they are lucky enough, they may not be able to fight the idea of a dozen special treasures.
"After driving the shuttle around the planet a few times and getting a general idea of what is going on, let's go down as well. After briefly looking at the external characteristics of Arcturus and having a general understanding of its overall situation, Zhou Xian quickly urged Ye Qiuli to move the star field shuttle, so that he could find a more suitable location to land and really land on that planet.
Although they can stay in the outer space of Arcturus until the artifact is born and officially land in it, but that approach is too eye-catching, and if they are unlucky, some accidents may happen that no one wants to encounter.
After all, the top-level flying magic weapon of the Star Field Shuttle is too rare and rare, and even some high-level scattered immortals of the fifth or sixth tribulation, seven or eight tribulations may not be able to actually possess it, and they just drove it unabashedly above the heads of countless super masters, and it really can't be noticed without attracting attention.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles and prevent being entangled by some super masters who are jealous of the powerful effects of the Star Field Shuttle, it is better to land on Arcturus as soon as possible and put away this treasure in time.
The so-called wealth is not exposed, this is the truth, especially at this time, facing almost the vast majority of masters in the entire cultivation realm, it is necessary to have enough vigilance and attention in this regard.
There are hundreds of people, colorful, not all cultivation masters are characters with otherworldly personalities and mentalities, and in the middle, it is very likely that there are some very willful or arrogant guys, who are entangled by them, even if they can't cause any damage, it is a very troublesome thing.
"Well, what the ancestor said is exactly, I will choose a more suitable position and then land. Hearing Zhou Xian's order, Ye Qiuli thought for a while, then quickly nodded and agreed, and then no longer hesitated, even if he actually took action.
From tens of millions of miles in the sky, although you can briefly look at the overall situation of the entire Arcturus and make sure that you and the others are not looking for the wrong target, it is impossible to figure out the specific details, and you must get closer.
Therefore, after making the decision, Ye Qiuli did not stay any longer, and even though he drove the Star Field Shuttle, he quickly patrolled around Arcturus closer, and while choosing a more suitable landing site, he also took the opportunity to learn more about it.
Although Arcturus is a very famous desolate death star, under normal circumstances, no one will notice it at all, and if you want to land in it, you can choose any place, but at this moment, facing the situation that the artifact is about to be born, the situation is no longer like that.
Now, I don't know how many top cultivators have gathered on this planet, each occupying a heaven and earth in groups, if you don't observe it carefully, casually intruding into those people's spheres of influence will definitely lead to some bad consequences.
"Alright, let's land on the top of this barren mountain below, it is already the most suitable one among the countless places we have seen, not only is it very close to the endless abyss where the artifact is located, but there are not many large forces around, which is just right for our activities. After piloting the Star Field Shuttle and approaching Arcturus for a few weeks of reconnaissance, Ye Qiuli quickly found a place that was more suitable for him and the others to land.
It was the place where the main peak of the center of a huge mountain range stretched for tens of thousands of miles, although there was still a long distance from the place where the artifact was born, as long as you acted quickly, you might not be able to rush to the scene at the first time and personally participate in the battle for that treasure.
And in addition to the relatively suitable geographical location, you can climb high and overlook, and monitor the movement of the artifact at any time, another relatively excellent condition of this barren mountain range is naturally that there are not many formed cultivation forces in it, and the vast majority of the cultivators who linger in it are lonely and scattered cultivators, and if they want to land in it, they don't need anyone's consent at all, and they can act directly and freely.
After the previous detailed observation, they had already discovered that there were indeed many cultivation masters gathered on this planet, and the closer they were to the central location where the artifact was born, the more cultivators there were, and the more obvious the existence of large and medium-sized forces that had been gathered.
Within dozens of miles around the endless abyss emitted by the colorful glow, I don't know how many large camps have been settled, each of which can represent a force in the cultivation realm, such as the Lingyu Sect, Tianyin Palace, Qilian Sect and other super or super-first-class cultivation sects that everyone knows, all of which can be found in it, and those camps with similar locations are obviously large and medium-sized forces of the same level.
Those important areas that are closest to the center of the artifact's birth, and can respond correctly to emergencies at any time, have obviously been tacitly divided by those large and medium-sized forces, even if some sects are relatively far away and have not yet come to the scene for the time being, their stations have been retained, and even if others find a gap in it, they will not dare to occupy it at will, so they can only find another place to resettle.
The tacit attitude that everyone knows is not written in the clear place for everyone to know, but in the actual actions of everyone, it is unconsciously revealed, as long as there is a little experience in the world, everything can be seen clearly.
At this time, although the comprehensive strength of Ye Qiuli and the others is not weak, if they pay a little attention, they can come and go freely on Arcturus, but compared with those super or first-class factions, they are still infinitely far behind, if they can't realize where they should be, they must forcibly squeeze into the ranks of those top forces, and they will inevitably be squeezed out by those people in the end.
Therefore, after careful consideration, they finally chose a barren mountain peak that was far away from the core of the artifact's birth, but could also monitor the specific situation in it from time to time, as a place for themselves and others to stay. That place, although not the best waiting location, is not bad.
"Okay, let's land here, everyone pay more attention, and if you can avoid disputes with other people, try not to have disputes with them. After carefully observing Ye Qiuli's chosen place to stay, and comparing it with several similar places that he and the others had found before, Zhou Xian finally agreed to his suggestion and landed here, and before actually taking action, he also deliberately gave everyone an explanation.
"Elder Taishang (Master, Master) rest assured, we know how to do it. Hearing Zhou Xian's advice, Sikong Xingxing, Changchun Zhenren, Yu Fengwu, Ye Qiuli, Murong Sisters and others hurriedly responded in unison, and then stood up in turn and walked outside the Star Shuttle.
"This Arcturus is indeed worthy of being the famous Desolate Death Star, not only does it not have the slightest conditions for ordinary life to survive and reproduce, but even cultivators are not suitable for staying here for a long time, if it weren't for the birth of an artifact, I'm afraid that so many people wouldn't have come here anyway. Walking out of the star field shuttle in turn, just to feel the specific environment of Arcturus, Sikong couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, the environment on this planet is indeed a bit harsh, and even if there are solid-state planets in the cultivation realm that are worse than them, there must be only a handful, and it is rare to encounter one in hundreds of millions. Hearing Sikong picking up the stars, Ye Qiuli couldn't help but nod in response, looking at the meaning between the words, it was obvious that he recognized his opinion very much, the environment of this planet was indeed unbearable.
Compared with ordinary barren planets or dead moons, this planet not only lacks the moisture and air needed for the survival and reproduction of ordinary life, but it is also filled with an extremely violent radiotoxin, ordinary humans do not need to actually set foot in it, as long as they get a little closer, they may be fatally injured, even if they are true cultivators, if they do not cultivate enough, it is difficult to completely resist it.
Judging from the situation he personally experienced, if he wants to survive safely on this planet, he must at least have the cultivation strength of the Yuan Infant Stage, and if the realm is low, then it is not to come to travel and practice and increase his knowledge, but to find himself unhappy.
