Chapter 1693: Ancient Mystery, Heart Moves, Therefore It Moves!

The moment Wang Lin looked at the rotating Five Elements Star, the gloom and solemnity on the face of the golden-robed old man on the ninth floor of the tower inside the Five Elements Star dissipated, gradually replaced by a sinister smile.

"The Nine-Turn Heart Wheel is something few people can break, even on the Immortal Astral Continent. The key to this Formation lies in the heart; the faster the heart moves, the harder this Formation is to break!"

"You mentioned earlier that this person was extremely cunning and highly intelligent back on the Vermilion Bird Star. Now, after so many years, not only has he not died, but his cultivation has increased greatly. He must have experienced countless life-and-death trials, so his intelligence must have become monstrous through this tempering!"

"The smarter a person is, the more impossible it is for them to struggle out of this Nine-Turn Heart Wheel! We are currently in the first turn; the further it goes, the more intense the killing intent becomes. Once it reaches the ninth turn, this person will be trapped here for life, until his Divine Sense is exhausted and he dies!"

"With the Old Ancestor presiding, this person will definitely be unable to escape." Hearing this, Nado's lips curled into a smile. He bowed to the old man, his eyes filled with reverence as he spoke.

The golden-robed old man laughed, then lowered his head to glance at his right arm, a flash of resentment passing through his eyes. Even now, his right arm was still throbbing with intense pain, and even circulating his immortal power did little to alleviate it.

Meanwhile, on the outermost edge of the Five Elements Star, the Great Heavenly Venerate Xuan Luo, who had been standing in the starry sky observing, narrowed his eyes.

"Although the power of this Nine-Turn Heart Wheel Formation is average, for a Cultivator who does not understand its structure, breaking it is extremely difficult… I fear this child cannot break it… Very well, I will watch a little longer. If he is trapped inside, I will take action."

Great Heavenly Venerate Xuan Luo shook his head slightly. He did not expect Wang Lin to be able to break this famous Formation of the Guiyi Sect of the Immortal Astral Continent, but in his heart, there was still a trace of expectation.

However, this expectation was very faint, and even he himself, after noticing it, couldn't help but chuckle.

"It is better not to have such high expectations for him… Even the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate of this generation, if he had not seen this Formation and rushed in rashly, would definitely be trapped!"

Beside the Five Elements Star, Wang Lin's expression was solemn as he stared at the massive Five Elements Star. However, the more he looked, the faster the Five Elements Star rotated.

At first, it was only rotating slowly, but now it was several times faster. Under its constant rotation, Wang Lin felt a stinging sensation and dizziness in his eyes, and his Divine Sense was rapidly depleting during those few moments of staring.

This discovery shocked Wang Lin, and he closed his eyes without hesitation. Yet, even with his eyes closed, his Divine Sense still saw the Five Elements Star rotating with a whistling sound, without the slightest pause.

"What kind of Formation Restriction is this!!" Wang Lin opened his eyes suddenly, his expression extremely gloomy. Whether he looked or not, closed his eyes or opened them, or even looked in other directions to ignore this star, his Divine Sense observed that the rotation of this star remained the same!

Soon, nine breaths passed. At the instant of the tenth breath, the rotation of the Five Elements Star suddenly accelerated. This acceleration immediately made Wang Lin's dizziness even more intense, and his Divine Sense began to dissipate rapidly, beyond his control.

Wang Lin had never experienced such a strange thing in his entire life. He couldn't figure out why this was happening; what kind of Restriction existed within this place!

A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He did not hesitate any longer, his body flickered, and he strode forward!

"Even if this star is strange, it is not far from me now. I might as well ignore it and step directly into this star!" Wang Lin's speed was extremely fast; in a single stride, he covered an endless distance. But after that one step, Wang Lin's pupils contracted violently.

He discovered that his step, which should have taken him into the Five Elements Star, seemed to be marching in place after landing. The Five Elements Star was still rotating in front of him; the distance between them had not changed in the slightest!

It was as if every time Wang Lin moved, the Five Elements Star moved as well!

Wang Lin fell silent. At this moment, the second nine breaths passed, and the Formation entered the third turn. The speed of the Five Elements Star's rotation surged again. Looking at it now, the Five Elements Star had become blurred.

"What kind of Formation is this! So strange!" Under the constant rotation of the Five Elements Star, a hint of irritability began to grow in Wang Lin's heart. This irritability did not come suddenly; it seemed to have existed from the beginning. But the moment this irritability appeared, the rotation of the Five Elements Star in Wang Lin's eyes surged violently!!

This surge immediately caused the rotation of the Five Elements Star to blur significantly. Looking at it, it seemed as if this star had become a huge Vortex of Qi.

Wang Lin's face was slightly pale. The irritability in his heart could not be suppressed at all and was growing stronger and stronger. Similarly, the rotation of the Five Elements Star was getting faster and faster!

"Something is wrong!" Wang Lin did not hesitate. His body retreated suddenly, intending to leave this place. But no matter how fast he retreated, in his view, the distance from the Five Elements Star did not decrease in the slightest!!

This extremely strange change caused Wang Lin's heart to tremble. The irritability grew more and more. At this moment, the fourth nine breaths passed, and the Five Elements Star entered the fifth turn.

The moment it entered the fifth turn, because Wang Lin's irritability was constantly breeding, the Five Elements Star had completely changed. It no longer looked like any Cultivation Planet, but instead had transformed into circles of ring-shaped Vortexes, intertwined with each other, rotating extremely fast.

Wang Lin's body trembled, and his chest felt stuffy. As the Five Elements Star rotated, Wang Lin felt the world spinning around him, as if the starry sky itself was rotating, and the only thing not rotating was himself.

But precisely because of this contradictory change, Wang Lin felt as if he were out of place here. The dizziness made Wang Lin extremely painful, as if he were about to vomit like a mortal. He staggered, retreated a few steps, his face deathly pale, and his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

He stared fixedly at the Vortex. Apart from the irritability in his expression, there was also madness!

But as soon as this madness arose, the rotation of the Vortex surged again with a boom, becoming indescribably fast in an instant. Under that rotation, Wang Lin seemed unsteady on his feet, and his body, without him even noticing, seemed to be dragged along, rotating with it.

On the ninth floor of the tower inside the Five Elements Star, the golden-robed old man watched this scene with satisfaction and burst into laughter. A cruel look appeared in his eyes as he gazed at the sky outside the tower, his expression filled with contempt and disdain.

"It is already the fifth turn. He cannot escape. Even if I were to step inside, if it reached the fifth turn, it would be absolutely impossible to break free. I could only expend my Divine Sense within it and die after all my Lifespan was drained! This person, wanting to intrude upon my Five Elements Star, is truly overestimating his capabilities!!"

Nado's face also revealed a smile, but his eyes, staring at the sky outside the tower, held lingering fear. Although his understanding of the Nine-Turn Heart Wheel was not as deep as that of the golden-robed old man, he had personally stepped inside it a long, long time ago.

He understood the terror within this Formation very well. Back then, he had fainted during the third turn and was saved by his Old Ancestor, taking a long time to recover. Since then, he had only felt awe and fear toward this Nine-Turn.

Outside the Five Elements Star, Great Heavenly Venerate Xuan Luo shook his head slightly and sighed inwardly.

"It is better not to have expectations. Even if there is that trace of expectation, it will turn into disappointment. However, that he could persist until the fifth turn is extremely rare… Very well, let him experience it a bit more; at the ninth turn, I will take action." Great Heavenly Venerate Xuan Luo was still a bit disappointed, but he also understood that if it were him before he became a Great Heavenly Venerate, and if he did not know about this famous Formation of the Guiyi Sect of the Immortal Astral Continent, he would likely be in the same situation if he had rushed in.

Wang Lin's face was pale. At the instant of the ninth breath of the fifth turn, Wang Lin spat out a mouthful of blood. This blood was caused by the depletion of his Divine Sense. His body was slowly rotating, but he forced it to stop.

The veins on Wang Lin's face bulged, and madness and irritability filled his entire mind. He stared at the Five Elements Star Vortex, which was rotating at a speed that seemed to have reached its limit, and stood there motionless.

He knew that whether he looked or not, the Vortex remained.

He understood that whether he thought about it or not, the Vortex was still rotating! He realized even more that if his body rotated along with it, then the Vortex of the Five Elements Star would suck all of his Divine Sense into it. After it was completely exhausted, the only thing waiting for him would be death!

"Every nine breaths, the rotation of the Five Elements Star suddenly increases…" Wang Lin endured the dizziness and the painful suffering, forcing his mind to calm down so he could think.

"A change every nine breaths… and the moment I am irritable, the rotation intensifies… the moment madness arises in my heart, the rotation becomes even faster…" The more Wang Lin thought and studied, the faster the rotation became, making it impossible for him to calm down.

He stared fixedly at the Vortex of the Five Elements Star. The more he could not calm down, the more he needed to think. He had to find out exactly what reason caused everything he saw and felt to be rotating.

Soon, the sixth nine breaths passed, the seventh nine breaths passed, the eighth nine breaths… flashed by in a blink!

On the ninth floor of the tower inside the Five Elements Star, the golden-robed old man flicked his large sleeves and, with laughter, walked out of the tower with Nado, standing in the sky.

"The ninth turn, this person is dead for sure! Nado, follow me to collect this person's corpse!" The golden-robed old man laughed loudly. The moment he was about to step forward, his laughter suddenly stopped abruptly, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes!

"It slowed down!!! The rotation actually slowed down!!! Impossible, this is the ninth turn, this… this…"

Nado was also horrified. He had originally had a smile on his face, but this smile immediately turned into horror.

Similarly, outside the Five Elements Star, Great Heavenly Venerate Xuan Luo shook his head, suppressing the disappointment in his heart. He raised his right hand, about to take action, but the moment he raised his hand, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and slowly lowered his right hand. His heart, which had survived for eons without wavering, began to beat violently at this moment.

Inside the Formation, at the instant the first breath of the ninth turn arrived, Wang Lin suddenly closed his eyes.

"Heart moves… it is the heart moving!! My heart moves, therefore my Divine Sense moves, my soul moves, my body moves, everything moves, and therefore this Five Elements Star appears to be moving to me as well… All of this is because my heart is not still!" The bloodshot veins in Wang Lin's eyes dissipated, the madness dissipated, the irritability dissipated. What remained was only a calm as still as an ancient well!
