Chapter 3303: Chapter 3323: He’s Interested in Star Sky Jump!
Having understood the matters of the land of opportunity, Lin Chen didn’t linger any longer. He joined forces with Qingluan Immortal Monarch, preparing to embark on the journey.
Qingluan Immortal Monarch handed a Jade pendant to Lin Chen: "Hang this Jade pendant at your waist. When you jump through the starry sky, I will hide inside it, so as not to hold you back."
Lin Chen took the Jade pendant and said with a laugh: "It’s inconvenient for the Immortal Monarch."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch gave a gentle laugh: "Inconvenient? This is the opportunity I worked hard for. If I don’t come, there are plenty who would want to."
Lin Chen showed a helpless expression: "This matter is an unknown. Perhaps after this trip, there will be no gain at all, which is highly likely."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch chuckled: "That is highly likely, but after all, there is still a certain probability of obtaining useful intelligence, right? As long as there is a probability, this trip won’t be unjustified."
"I hope for a good result."
Lin Chen sighed: "The current situation is already too dire. We genuinely need some new changes; otherwise, it will be very difficult to reverse the disadvantage. After all, the mysterious Abyss Lord hasn’t truly descended yet."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s face also grew more solemn: "Just its will descending was enough to injure the Five Saints. If its true body descends, that would be unbearable."
"Hope there’s some gain."
Lin Chen didn’t speak further, saying with a laugh: "If the Immortal Monarch is ready, then shall we depart?"
"Okay!"
Qingluan Immortal Monarch laughed: "When jumping through the starry sky, I can hide in the Jade pendant. At other times, forget it; being cramped in the pendant’s space alone is quite suffocating..."
Lin Chen replied: "That goes without saying."
Lin Chen never thought Qingluan Immortal Monarch would actually stay in the Jade pendant quietly and never come out. If that were the case, why would they accompany him on this trip?
After the two finished discussing, Qingluan Immortal Monarch hid inside the Jade pendant.
Lin Chen then followed the coordinates given by Chi Zai and performed a starry sky jump. Before long, Lin Chen had left the Sacred Heart Fairyland, appearing on an unfamiliar planet.
This planet bore no trace of life. Endless red rocky mountains stretched far, no water, no plants, no animals—apart from sand and stone, there was nothing.
The coordinates given by Chi Zai were, of course, not just one but a dense string of them. These coordinates extended like streetlights, tracing the way to the location of the Starry Sky Demon Beast Ancestral Land.
Starry sky demon beasts can travel through the universe with their bodies, naturally possessing their unique mode of transit, which is the racial talent of the starry sky demon beasts. Without it, just relying on flying, Chi Zai might have flown to death without finding a way back to the Ancestral Land.
The universe is vast, boundless; without coordinates, even with the unique space-traveling ability of starry sky demon beasts, they could still get lost in the vast universe, never finding the way home.
Every place the starry sky demon beasts reach, they leave coordinates. Gathered together, these numerous coordinates form starry sky paths, upon which one can keep advancing to reach the Ancestral Land.
Lin Chen tapped the Jade pendant; its radiance flickered, and in a blink, Qingluan Immortal Monarch appeared before Lin Chen.
Qingluan Immortal Monarch looked around, then up at the starry sky above, showing a look of shock on the face.
"Did we just leave the Immortal Realm?"
Lin Chen replied: "Yes."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch spread his arms as if embracing the universe: "Starry sky jump, truly a divine skill! In an instant, we might already be an unknown distance from the Sacred Heart Fairyland now. If we had flown, perhaps it would have taken several decades or even a hundred years."
Lin Chen candidly replied: "Honestly, I don’t know exactly how far we are from the Sacred Heart Fairyland now, but I can confirm it’s very far."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch curiously asked: "Do you rely on coordinates for starry sky jumping? What happens if there are no coordinates?"
Lin Chen replied: "Starry sky jumping is like plunging into dark and dense water. Within it, you lose the correct sensation of time and space. Coordinates are like the lighthouse by the seaside, guiding myself through the void towards it. Without coordinates, although one can risk starry sky jumping, without direction, the boundless universe makes it easy to become lost in the cosmos."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch naturally understood what cosmic losing meant. Without a stroke of luck finding a suitable planet to live on, getting lost in the starry sky would ultimately result in spiritual power depletion and death.
"So, starry sky jumping is dangerous too. If one makes a mistake, they might just perish."
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Isn’t it? Without specific coordinates along the way, finding the location of the Starry Sky Demon Clan’s Ancestral Land would be impossible."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch laughed: "How long do we need to stay on the journey?"
Lin Chen replied: "Starry sky jumping consumes a lot of spiritual power. After depletion, one needs to take medicinal pills to restore spiritual power. The time for starry sky jumping is short, but the speed of spiritual power recovery is slow."
"I’ve roughly estimated we might need to delay about three months on the journey, maybe a bit longer."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch smiled faintly: "Three months, not too long."
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "For immortals, indeed, it is not long, even less than a regular meditation session."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch looked around: "A place like this holds no value staying in, let’s continue."
"Okay!"
Qingluan Immortal Monarch returned to the Jade pendant, and Lin Chen continued the starry sky jumping. After several repetitions, Lin Chen stopped.
He had consumed quite a bit of spiritual power. Although he could continue, he ought to hold some in reserve.
Who knows if Qingluan Immortal Monarch would take advantage of when he exhausted his spiritual power to make a move?
It’s always wise to be cautious of others!
After Qingluan Immortal Monarch came out again, Lin Chen took medicinal pills and then quietly meditated, restoring his spiritual power.
All these coordinates were dead planets devoid of life forms and spiritual Qi, so naturally absorbing spiritual Qi for recovery was impossible. The only option was to take medicinal pills, utilizing the spiritual power contained within to replenish his own loss.
This was why Lin Chen previously made a big ask for medicinal pills, as they prepared for traveling in the starry sky. Better to be more prepared, just in case any accidents occur during the journey?
Without medicinal pills to restore strength, and without a Qi-rich environment, the Sea of Knowledge would dry up without the replenishment of spiritual power.
Lin Chen sat in meditation recovering, while Qingluan Immortal Monarch stood not far away, gazing at the starry sky.
Though his back was turned to Lin Chen, he was fully aware of Lin Chen’s situation on this side.
He looked at the starry sky, arms crossed in front of his chest, left thumb, and middle and index fingers rubbing back and forth, with a deep icy glint occasionally flashing in his eyes.
Though he was in the space within the Jade pendant, he could still observe the outside.
He could vaguely sense that feeling of falling into darkness, losing the sense of time and space. That moment of crossing star rivers and appearing in unknown lands, an ultra-long jump, made his heart itch.
He had become interested in mastering the divine skill of starry sky jumping!
