Chapter 320 The two sides meet unexpectedly.
Just as Huali sensed the changes in the world, Qiran, far away on the edge of the Starfall Ruins, was facing a situation she had never anticipated.
Let's rewind ten minutes.
The dark aura was shrouded in mystery, but she was not one to sit idly by and wait for her doom.
Since the astrological astrologer Ge Luotan was able to divine that the black aura was not from this world, then it must be hiding something else.
Qi Ran turned to look at the five people, "Astrology Platform, Ge Luotan, I want to see him."
Li Yuan's gaze swept over the black mist. "The Astrological Platform has connections with the Cangming Sea. Guan Lan can handle it."
"That's against the rules."
Fu Yan denied it, saying, "Rushing into contact could easily cause trouble. We need to understand the situation here first before making any plans."
Li Yuan glanced at Fu Yan, a cold glint in his eyes, and was about to speak when Qi Ran took out a wood-type card.
"I'll try to deduce it."
The moment the card flew out, a huge and incredibly intricate star map unfolded, centered on Qi Ran's feet.
All five of them looked at her at the same time.
The star map is not a phantom, but rather a complex network of ancient, root-like veins formed by the wood element.
It covered an area of several tens of feet in radius.
As Qi Ran's body slowly rose, a giant eye gradually condensed directly below her.
As Qi Ran closed her eyes and focused on reflecting on the past, her eyes, which could predict the future, opened at the same time.
Qi Ran's perception was completely connected with the "Eye of Longing," and a massive flow of information surged into her sea of consciousness.
Black mist, depletion, roaring—
Just as Qi Ran's gaze was about to pierce through the fog and glimpse the crucial information—
Suddenly, a powerful, terrifying force, like a supreme command, erupted from the core of the card!
"Well!"
The divination was abruptly cut off.
At the same time, an overwhelming external force covered the vast star map.
As the central eye shrank and deformed, the deduced runes were rearranged once again!
Qi Ran forced herself to calm down, "Xiao Tong, what happened?"
"The system is attempting to connect to headquarters." Xiao Tong's voice was strangely halted. "Connection successful. In order to help the host complete the mission and escape this small world as soon as possible, headquarters is now preparing to forcibly open the Starfall Ruins."
Qi Ran was stunned for a moment, then forced it open?
Before she could react, the rearranged runes had already transformed into a tangible torrent of energy, bursting forth from the giant eye!
boom--
The attack struck with unparalleled precision at a hidden node within the barrier of the Fallen Star Ruins!
At this moment, Huali and everyone else in Linfeng County saw the magnificent aurora that began to twist and ripple in the sky.
The entrance to the Starfall Ruins was thus forcibly opened by the headquarters system using Qi Ran's cards as a medium.

The sky above the distant Cangming Sea, which was already gray, suddenly became even more gloomy.
Several dark whirlpools suddenly appeared on the sea surface.
Guanlan emerged from the sea, staring in shock at the black mist. "Quickly, quickly, send a message to all the elders, urge them to come and take precautions!"
He gathered his spiritual power and struck the nearest vortex with his palm, shouting, "There's still a path to soaring ten thousand miles; don't worry about the dust and turmoil in the sea of consciousness!!!"
*
Deep within the abyss.
Within the barrier, the deathly silent prison cells trembled violently.
The young man, whose eyes were covered by a white silk ribbon, raised his head. When he "saw" the thick black mist churning above him, a complex smile slowly curved his lips.
"The show is about to begin."
"Go...see all this for me." The silent thought, transmitted through the connection of souls, reached Yan Xi in the courtyard.
His expression changed, and he suddenly raised his hand to cover his chest.
But the next moment, his calm expression masked it all.
A constant buzzing sound filled the air. Huali's gaze swept over the crowd that had gathered around her. "Is the Starfall Ruins opening ahead of schedule because the Book of Luo Shen is about to appear in the world?"
Hua Li's gaze fell on Yan Xi. "Little Bird, are you alright? You don't look well..."
"My little benefactor still cares about me the most."
Yan Xi shook her head, a soft smile blooming on her face. Her long, curled eyelashes drooped down, perfectly concealing the emotions in her eyes. "I just thought that once the Starfall event begins, we must never be separated."
Huali nodded seriously, "Actually, my idea is for everyone to act together first. Our group is a winning combination wherever we go."
As the saying goes...
Unity is strength!
Xiao Ta ran over from a short distance away and hugged Hua Li's leg. "Zhao Zhao and I will be working with Hua Li in Qing Lin Zhui this time."
Huali nodded.
The small tower is a divine artifact, perhaps connected to the Book of the Goddess of the Luo River.
Just as everyone began to discuss the personnel, Luo Chuan, who was also at the Tribulation Transcending stage, glanced at Yan Xi thoughtfully.
Lian Zhuo shook her head slightly, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve our wish. The internal laws of the Starfall Ruins are in disorder, and the sudden opening makes the entrance even more unstable. If we resist the teleportation, we will suffer the consequences."
Luo Chuan withdrew his gaze. "The Ruins of Fallen Stars is different from any other secret realm, far surpassing any record. Its sudden opening brings too many variables."
Wen Jin turned to look at the two black crows behind him, "Stay here. After I enter the realm, if any fools dare to court death, they will be killed without mercy."
Xiwu/Tuowu: "Yes!"
Brother Shrimp considers himself to be the third type of Wu, and has given himself a stage name, "Yiwu".
After settling into Yiwu, he waved a small handkerchief at Yan Xi and said, "I know my limits. Writing is valuable, but life is more precious."
Mo Ziyan looked at Tang Wanwan and said, "I have already sent a message to my master, and he will arrive the day after tomorrow."
The last time Tang Yu was traumatized by Xu Meng, Tang Wanwan repeatedly told him that they must act together after he arrived.
Seeing that the young lady was hesitant, Huali immediately made the decision, "Let's go in first and see what the situation is like."
"Now everyone quickly gather the information. Little Bird, tell me what the Book of the Goddess of the Luo River looks like?" He was the one who threw the book in back then.
Yan Xi thought for a moment, "Its true form is indeed the shape of a book."
"But I didn't see the words on it."
“Divine artifacts are not inanimate objects; they possess powerful spirituality. To understand or find them, one needs a more compatible spiritual connection, but I…” Yan Xi paused, “In addition, one also needs a strong state of mind, a special destiny, or a key.”
Lian Zhuo glanced at everyone and said, "Amitabha."
"Furthermore, judging from the spatial fluctuations just now, the interior of the Starfall Ruins is particularly unstable. If you want to be on the safe side, it is best to have a cultivation level of half-step Nascent Soul before you can even try."
There was a moment of silence after he said this.
Immediately, everyone's gaze, whether openly or subtly, fell upon the upright young general standing to the side.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
If cultivation levels could also be categorized according to academic principles:
Luo Chuan and Yan Xi, both at the Tribulation Stage, are essentially master's degree students.
Lian Zhuo is second only to their combined period, a fresh and beautiful college student.
Wen Jin is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, a high school student.
Even a middle school student can fight against a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator.
And young master... Nascent Soul... elementary school student.
Shen Yu sensed the silent "exclusion" and "care" almost instantly, and his handsome face, full of youthful vigor, flushed red.
It's not shyness, it's anger!
The young general suddenly straightened his already ramrod-straight back, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with fur.
"I said, what do you mean?"
The boy's clear, sharp gaze was like ice, or like a wolf cub whose territory had been invaded, filled with intense sharpness and displeasure.
Huali knew she was in trouble the moment she saw her young master's posture, so she quickly stepped forward to show her support, "It's alright, it's alright, young master, I'll protect you!"
Steward Ao's large tail also wrapped around the young master's arm, saying, "King Meow Meow will protect you too!"
Shen Yu's anger was taken aback by the sudden "protection" from the person and the cat, and the venom that was about to burst forth and kill everyone "poof" leaked out a lot.
The furry touch on his wrist, in particular, made him feel a little awkward, yet strangely pleased.
The young general's ears turned slightly red, but he forced himself to maintain a cold expression. He didn't pull his arm away, but just let out a soft hum.

Six streams of light pierced through the chaotic energy currents and landed before the enormous entrance to the Starfall Ruins, which radiated a magnificent light.
The area ahead was packed with people, completely blocked off.
Those who had disappeared here earlier did not attract the slightest attention in the face of this tremendous opportunity.
They both yearned for the divine artifact and were determined to ascend to immortality.
Almost at the same time that Huali and the others landed, several powerful auras also approached from afar in the storm on the other side.
Huali turned her head to look.
Qi Ran and her five chosen ones—Mu Feng, Wen Tingyun, Li Yuan, Fu Yan, and Zhan Li—broke through the turbulent currents and revealed themselves.
Meanwhile, Qi Ran's group also discovered Hua Li.
The two sides met unexpectedly against the backdrop of the drastic changes in the world, howling winds, and the aurora borealis and nebulae.
