Chapter 1140: Peak of the Cloud Sea’s Prominence! (Second Update)

star mist pervaded the Starry Sky, and six long rainbows whistled as they pierced through. Cang Songzi seemed extremely familiar with the route; he didn't even take out a Jade Slip to discern the direction, and his speed grew faster and faster!

Relying on his cultivation at the Middle Stage of shattered nirvana, he dashed at full speed, moving as fast as lightning and thunder. The people behind him also circulated their cultivation to accelerate their speed.

Because of this, Wang Lin's speed naturally slowed down. After all, his cultivation was not truly shattered nirvana. However, without changing his expression, he took out a Speed Talisman, and immediately, a storm enveloped his body as he shot forward.

After several days of rapid travel, as the surrounding star mist grew thicker, they had already entered the deepest part of the fifth-rank Star Domain. Faintly visible ahead was a dark shadow, clearly a Barren Continent.

"This is the place." Cang Songzi shot forward, approaching the Barren Continent. This continent was not too large, but it contained many Vicious Beasts. Standing on the continent, one could hear the continuous roars of beasts coming from afar.

"Not many people know about this Barren Continent, and even if they did, they wouldn't find the secret that this old man has hidden here." Cang Songzi smiled, gazing at the continent before him with a look of reminiscence.

"Fellow Daoist Pang, please kill all the Cultivators currently present on this Barren Continent!" Cang Songzi looked toward the elderly man whose face was covered in pockmarks.

Elder Pang nodded slightly, his figure flickering before disappearing from the spot. His Divine Sense spread out, continuously searching the Barren Continent as he moved. Any Cultivator found hunting beasts, regardless of their Sect or cultivation, was killed one by one.

Wang Lin glanced at the Barren Continent beneath his feet. He felt that something was strange here, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what the problem was. He squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and examined it closely.

The Old Woman in Green Robes also flashed her gaze, looking around, her expression becoming solemn.

Cloud Soul Child watched Wang Lin, sneering internally. The secret of this Barren Continent could definitely not be discerned in a short amount of time, unless one lived here for several years.

The Young Boy also frowned, looking around, unsure what he was thinking. Only Chen Tianjun remained completely unmoved, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes, and breathing.

Before long, Elder Pang returned, nodding slightly toward Cang Songzi without speaking.

Cang Songzi felt slightly agitated. He took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and waved them around. Suddenly, heaven and earth origin energy whistled over, circling around him, stirring up the mist and transforming it into a massive, rotating Vortex.

Cang Songzi's white hair moved without wind. He let out a low shout and instantly slammed his hands down hard onto the earth!

With a loud boom, the earth began to shake. Countless rumbling sounds gradually echoed, and cracking sounds came from the trembling ground, which was splitting inch by inch. Massive Rifts, like wandering Dragons, extended outward into the distance.

The ground trembled even more violently. On the due east side of this Barren Continent, a Peak ten thousand zhang tall suddenly emitted a dazzling light. At the same time, similar Peaks in the due north, due south, and due west directions also emitted light.

The light from these four Peaks grew denser, suddenly scattering outwards. If one looked down from above the continent now, they could clearly see that the lights from the four Peaks connected as they spread, forming a Four Peaks Formation!

Inside the Formation, the ground continued to shatter amid the trembling. Pieces of rubble floated up into the air. In the blink of an eye, the entire ground within the Four Peaks Formation on the Barren Continent collapsed layer by layer, as if scraped clean, and more rubble floated up.

Wang Lin's eyes were solemn as he watched the pieces of rubble float upwards. The ground was now as flat as a mirror, without the slightest unevenness.

Furthermore, a massive Rune Mark was hidden beneath the ground!

This Rune Mark was imprinted onto the earth using a Divine Ability, covering the vast majority of the Barren Continent. The rubble was merely placed on top afterward to conceal the Rune Mark.

Watching the rubble gradually rise and dissipate into the Starry Sky, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed Wang Lin's mind. Staring at the dissipating stones and observing the trajectory of their ascent, movement, and disappearance, his heart shook! He had realized why he felt this place was strange earlier!

This Barren Continent was completely stationary! The continents in the Cloud Sea Star Domain were not stationary; rather, they drifted slowly within the Starry Sky. Although this drift was extremely slow and difficult to detect, it did exist. Mortals could not sense the movement of the continent they were on, but Cultivators whose cultivation reached a certain level could still vaguely perceive the trajectory if they calmed their minds.

Wang Lin was not a native Cultivator of the Cloud Sea Star Domain. The Star Domain he came from previously consisted entirely of planets, not these drifting continents. Therefore, he perceived this most clearly and distinctly now. A native Cultivator, operating under habitual thinking, would easily overlook this matter.

"A stationary Barren Continent…" Wang Lin's eyes flashed.

There was no longer a single piece of rubble on the ground between the Four Mountains Great Formation. Cang Songzi sat cross-legged, grabbed into the Void Realm with his right hand, and a Storage Rift appeared before him. Beams of crystalline light flashed; these were pieces of Immortal Jade flying out, which instantly dissipated their immortal power and turned to dust the moment they landed on the ground.

As the Immortal Jade continuously dissipated, the earth absorbed the dense immortal power. Gradually, the Rune Mark became clearer and emitted a soft glow.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, hundreds of thousands of pieces of Immortal Jade were consumed. The Rune Mark on the ground grew brighter and brighter, eventually illuminating the Barren Continent almost like daylight!

"Immortal Formation, open!" Cang Songzi roared, his voice echoing through heaven and earth like thunder. In an instant, the Rune Mark on the ground flashed violently, and continuous rumbling sounds shook the sky and the earth.

Wang Lin clearly sensed that after the mark absorbed enough immortal power, it spread throughout the interior of the continent. Immediately afterward, the Barren Continent suddenly began to move!

It was not trembling, but moving!

The continent was moving northward! Given that the movement was clearly perceptible, one could imagine how fast the continent was moving now! Not only Wang Lin, but The Young Boy, Chen Tianjun, and the Old Woman in Green Robes were all moved, and they spread their Divine Sense to observe closely.

As the mark on the continent flashed, its movement accelerated. Before long, amidst the rumbling sounds, it completely shifted its position, revealing the location where the continent had previously rested.

There, right in the center beneath where the Barren Continent had been, a Rift emitting seven-colored light appeared! The Rift was small, only half a zhang wide, but the seven-colored light surrounding it made this small Rift extremely brilliant and conspicuous in the Starry Sky!

"This is!!" The Young Boy gasped, staring at the seven-colored Rift, his expression becoming involuntarily excited. His features were already twisted, and this excitement made him even uglier and more terrifying.

"What a grand scheme!" Chen Tianjun, the big man from the Beast Taming Sect, glanced at Cang Songzi, his gaze then falling upon the Rift emitting seven-colored light.

"This place originally didn't have this Barren Continent. Back then, this old man happened to pass by here, just as this Rift had appeared. Afterward, to hide this location, I moved a continent from another place to cover the Rift, preventing outsiders from discovering it!" Cang Songzi laughed loudly, his voice filled with pride.

"Where does this seven-colored Rift lead?" The Old Woman in Green Robes asked in a deep voice, staring at the Rift.

"You'll know once we go!" Cang Songzi laughed heartily. Under his control, the continent beneath their feet moved faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it had moved far away, increasing the distance from the seven-colored Rift.

"This Rift is unstable. We cannot enter directly. Otherwise, if even two of us enter, the Rift will collapse. Although it won't vanish, it will shrink, making it difficult to return! Therefore, we must use this Barren Continent as an anchor, crashing it in to enlarge the Rift. We must enter instantly. With the imprint on the continent restraining it, the Rift will not collapse, and the impact when we return will also be much smaller."

Following Cang Songzi's explanation, the seven-colored Rift gradually grew distant in everyone's sight. The continent beneath their feet moved even faster, but after a moment, it suddenly stopped.

Cang Songzi formed hand seals with both hands and pressed them down onto the earth simultaneously. The ground shook, and the continent began moving at an even greater speed, heading straight for the seven-colored Rift!

Its speed grew faster and faster, reaching its absolute Peak in the blink of an eye. The nearly insane speed caused the continent to tremble violently, and large sections of rubble collapsed and fell off the edges.

If one looked down from the Starry Sky, they could clearly see that the speed of the continent's impact was in no way inferior to that of a shattered nirvana Cultivator—in fact, it was even faster than a shattered nirvana Cultivator!

Rumbling sounds echoed throughout the Starry Sky, and the continent's speed increased further! The expressions of everyone standing on the continent grew solemn as they stared at the rapidly approaching seven-colored Rift, their hearts fully alert!

Faster said than done, almost instantaneously, the continent slammed closer, crashing directly into the seven-colored Rift with a roar that shocked the Starry Sky! At this exact moment, the seven-colored light inside the Rift suddenly began to flash wildly, faintly illuminating the surrounding Starry Sky!

Moreover, as the continent crashed in, the Rift seemed to be forcibly torn open, instantly widening.

"Go!" As Cang Songzi's voice rang out, his figure shot forward, diving directly into the Rift. The remaining people also unleashed their full speed, following closely behind Cang Songzi and stepping into the Rift.

Only Cloud Soul Child and Wang Lin remained outside now. Cloud Soul Child watched coldly from behind Wang Lin. Wang Lin snorted inwardly, but his speed did not decrease as he rushed straight for the Rift. Just as he was about to step into the Rift, Wang Lin's eyes flashed with cold light, and he abruptly turned his head!

Cloud Soul Child's eyes narrowed behind him. In that instant, the moment Wang Lin turned his head, Cloud Soul Child raised his right hand and shook it in the Void Realm, and an Iron Sword suddenly appeared in his grasp!

It was an Iron Sword covered in rust, yet possessing earth-shattering power!

Currently writing the third update. The extra updates these past few days have caused my waist pain, which had lessened, to return and worsen. I am gritting my teeth and writing.
