The six of them walked to a Danque High Platform, surrounded by a vast sea of clouds.
At this moment, Zhang Jian's gaze fell on the other five sect members.
The group consisted of four men and two women, each exuding a concealed aura, with a powerful spiritual pressure emanating from the depths of their Primordial Spirits.
Zhang Jian only had nodding acquaintances with most of the other five.
The only one he knew was the Pursuing Star True Monarch.
Pursuing Star True Monarch was a Primordial Spirit True Monarch born from the lineage of True Monarch Qingyun, a True Monarch with quite an ancient history.
In addition, there were True Monarch Zijing, Linghe Daoist, Master Wulei, and Siming Master, four Primordial Spirit Great Cultivators.
"I kindly ask for the assistance of the Immortal Monarch senior!"
On the high platform, as True Monarch Bone Burning cast a spell, an invisible light descended from the depths of the void like a waterfall, and a gigantic spatial vortex was born amidst the intangible torrent.
Upon seeing this vortex form, the six Primordial Spirit Masters became solemn, instantly transforming into streams of light that entered it one after another.
Pursuing Star True Monarch and True Monarch Zijing were the first to fall into it, Zhang Jian was the third to step into the depths of the vortex, followed by Linghe Daoist, Master Wulei, and Siming Master; moments later, the spatial passage in the depths of the sky gradually disappeared.
True Monarch Bone Burning observed this with calm eyes.
Each time the Xiyue Grotto Heaven opens, a slaughter ensues.
This time it coincides with the terrifying celestial phenomenon of the toad devouring the moon, making things even more complicated inside.
Nevertheless, this time the Primordial Spirit Cultivators entering from the Tongshan Dao Lineage have means to preserve their lives, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
True Monarch Bone Burning's eyes fluctuated.
At this time, as the Tongshan Dao Lineage enters the world, they are in dire need of manpower, and cannot afford to lose any Primordial Spirit Cultivators.
...
The mighty power of the Heaven and Earth Profound Sect was not a first experience for the six Primordial Spirit Cultivators.
The six figures entered it, as if traversing through the light and shadow of time, with the starry river around them quickly receding.
Amidst this stream of light, Zhang Jian's vast Primordial Spirit Divine Sense repeatedly saw massive shadows passing by in the starry space, rushing into the distance with a howl.
These were starry beasts born in the Outer Star River.
Starry beasts are also a branch of ancient relics.
After the decline of ancient relics, two major paths evolved: one part fell into the world and turned into various spirit beasts, no longer pursuing the primordial path of demon gods, but instead honing their wisdom, comprehending the Heaven and Earth Law, seeking supreme Dao practice.
Most of these call themselves demons.
Another part chose to roam the starry sky, using starlight as their core, gradually forming another path of extreme physical evolution, known as starry beasts.
...
Moments later, as countless rays of light scattered, the six traversed a vast voidstorm and, when they opened their eyes again, found themselves on a platform.
It was a fragment that floated steadily in the void.
It was only about a few zhang in size, resembling a floating miniature island.
The moment Zhang Jian's form appeared, his eyes immediately scanned the surroundings.
Rumbling!!
All around was the terrifying roar of storms, his solidified Primordial Spirit Divine Sense could see countless astral winds and astral rays mixed within the voidstorm, swirling around the dark void, these black storms circulated through with formidable power, no less than a bombardment of Primordial Spirit level Immortal Techniques.
Zhang Jian concentrated his gaze and could see within the darkness some stars reflecting light, vaguely sensing fragments of forbidden spiritual light, realizing there were grand, colossal ruin fragments floating in the endless darkness.
These were remnants akin to floating islands of ruins.
At this moment, the other five Tongshan cultivators seeing this scene, each of them immediately turned solemn.
The Pursuing Star True Monarch, clad in a silver robe, looked at everyone and smiled.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the periphery of Xiyue Grotto Heaven!
The periphery of Xiyue Grotto Heaven, the middle layer itself is not very dangerous, everyone is free to explore, if you encounter danger, use our emergency contact method!"
The True Monarch Zijing, dressed in a purple robe with a purple longsword on his back like a sword hero, smiled slightly: "Very well, everyone may rely on their luck, how about we meet at the entrance of the Inner Sect in half a month? Then we can join forces to explore the inner layer ruins!"
Zhang Jian pondered for a moment, then said, "Very well!"
The others had no objections either.
Exploring together, there are benefits and drawbacks to combining forces.
However, being from the same sect, they shouldn't be overly calculative.
After a brief discussion, the six of them turned into streams of light, flying towards the depths of the dark starry sky.
Zhang Jian stood in place, took one look into the distance, and his gaze could see a vast starry sky still constantly reversing, various gravitational forces obviously warped and abnormal.
In some regions, faint sounds could still be heard.
It was evident the ruins' broken forbidden techniques could no longer block the infiltration of those special star beasts.
At this moment, a part of the Xiyue Grotto Heaven's map was in his mind.
The area of the Xiyue Grotto Heaven was extremely large, initially not far from the Taiyin Star, and after an incident inside, everything was twisted by terrifying gravitational and gravitational distortions.
Within the grotto heaven, most ruins turned into fragments.
They floated in this silent void chasm, what one could find was entirely up to their luck.
However, according to True Monarch Zhanmo, the terrifying gravity and gravitational pull around the Taiyin Star had twisted most of the grotto heaven realm, but some areas remain protected by formidable forbidden techniques, still intact for now.
However, these terrifying forbidden spiritual lights have also attracted some terrifying demon fiends of the starry sky, and even Outer Realm Evil Gods lurking, needing special caution.
With a thought, a bright moon appeared floating above his head.
The East Emperor's Treasure Mirror appeared, a grand beam of mirror light swept through the dark void like a rainbow, and his form transformed into a stream of light instantly merging into the darkness of the starry sky.
Within the dark starry sky, Zhang Jian operated the Golden Crow Escape Light at a very fast speed.
After entering this dark starry sky, Zhang Jian discovered the Xiyue Grotto Heaven was even larger than expected.
The periphery alone was composed of more than a dozen massive stars.
These stars were dead silent, but still bore traces of life.
In the depths of the void, Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged, his body utilizing the Golden Lotus Hidden Breath Technique, with the East Emperor's Treasure Mirror atop his head revealing traces of some stars below, on the treasure mirror, some ferocious creatures revealed their true forms.
Rustling shadows moved beneath the stars, resembling dark-skinned creatures the size of a young calf, the Gravity One-Eyed Star Rats, each with a solitary eye emanating a silvery light, their teeth extraordinarily sharp.
The tough construction materials awash with forbidden spiritual light could not withstand their sharp teeth.
These exotic beasts were somewhat common among the Starlight Giant Beasts of the Star River; they usually traveled in groups, liking to root in areas dense with starlight and chaotic gravity, feeding on starlight energy.
These exotic beasts were considered super small-sized individuals among the starry beasts, with very low rank, most solitary individuals were comparable to Divination Foundation Establishment, but the commanders could rival Golden Core, and the kings could be on par with Yin Spirit Venerables.
Besides these One-Eyed Star Rats, Zhang Jian also detected the presence of several other terrifying star beasts.
There were Silver Moon Horned Pythons covered with gray keratin and silvery horns on their heads, and Taiyin Golden Centipedes with eight pairs of cicada-like wings, these were also exotic species.
Even just slaughtering them and collecting them would be a great wealth upon return.
Yet Zhang Jian seemed indifferent to them, then he moved slightly.
On the East Emperor's Treasure Mirror appeared a gray-white giant stone, deeply buried within the stars, yet on the mirror, a slight manifestation of a special Heaven and Earth Law fluctuation.
"A treasure?"
A faint smile appeared in Zhang Jian's eyes.
With the possession of the East Emperor's Treasure Mirror as such a probing Spirit Treasure, he had a significant advantage.
He raised his hand, an invisible spatial fluctuation enveloped the giant stone, and with a casual grab, the giant stone fell into his hand.
But almost simultaneously, an enormous Starlight Giant Beast lurking in the void came dashing in, a silver exotic beast with a body over ten zhang in length leaped from the space, instantly lunging towards Zhang Jian to devour him.
