Chapter 1772 Applying His Experience



Getting to see such a unique and rare formation like the Seven Star Obfuscation Formation was a new experience for Lin Mu. To him, it was a bit difficult to even describe the working of the formation.

It didn't seem to be targeting Qi as its main aspect either, which made it difficult for Lin Mu to tell how it was working. 

"In the Seven Star Obfuscation Formation… there seem to be other energies than Qi too." Lin Mu said after observing it for a bit.

"The energy you are seeing is from the different materials. They serve to prevent divination users from prying into it." The Saintess replied. "It isn't a kind of energy that most cultivators would be able to understand in the first place." She added.

"Hmm… is it something only those with an affinity would be able to grasp?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Observing the energy itself isn't dependent on it, but comprehending it is. It is an energy called as Stellar Karmic Energy." The Saintess answered.

'Stellar Karmic Energy… I'll have to take note of this.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He reckoned it would be worth talking to Senior Xukong about it as well as checking the Memoirs of the Lost Immortal. 

Time continued to pass and Lin Mu observed the array progressing. Eventually, his immortal sense was unable to touch upon it, and only his Spatial Perception was working. 

"This'll make things difficult…" Lin Mu muttered to himself.

His mind didn't stop there though as he was already looking for alternatives. And by the time the Formation array was completed, Lin Mu actually managed to come up with something.

'The way it hides the nodes… it moves them around mixing and melding the points of access… it will force me to move blindly.' Lin Mu analyzed. 'But moving while being blind, isn't that what I've been doing for a while?' he realized.

Lin Mu had been using the Spiral Flake Crystal to improve his comprehension of the Space all this time. This led him to explore the endless expanse inside the Crystal. But it gave him the experience needed to navigate when he couldn't perceive much.

'And since it is past the space… I might still be able to make use of it.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 

So far he knew a few facts about the new Spatial Planes that had been just created.

First was the fact that it prevented Immortal Qi from passing into it from the outside. This prevented the external interference of cultivators.

Second was the fact that it could prevent the prying of diviners through the use of the Seven Star Obfuscating formation.

Then the third fact was its physical detachment from the Rust Sky world, which limited the physical interference as well.

'But if I combine all three of them, it leaves flaws in it.' Lin Mu's eyes shone with understanding.

He looked back up at the sky, his spatial perception activated to the max. He observed the formations and tried to get a read on the ever changing nodes. With the Spatial perception, he could see the energy fluctuations that were normally hidden and managed to find a node that was still open.

But a few moments later, the node disappeared and reappeared at a different site.

"Let's try this again…" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and turned his Immortal sense into a fine thread.

The Immortal sense thread flew up at great speed while being guided by his Spatial perception. When it was close to the formations, Lin Mu guided it just enough to touch upon the node.

'And the first point is covered!' Lin Mu was excited.

He continued onwards from it, while ensuring that no one was aware of it. Thankfully, the properties of the array were such that, while they prevented others from interfering, they also prevented the makers of the formation array from doing the same.

While they could still get information about changes happening in the array, it wouldn't include the infiltration done from the nodes which were appearing due to the original errors.

Of course, they knew something like this could be done, and they had the Flickering Veil Obscuring formation to cover for that. It would change the location of the nodes all the time, making it hard to tell which were the correct ones.

But for Lin Mu, it was just another challenge.

Once he entered through the node, the next layer was also ever changing, making it hard for him to find the node. Thankfully with his experience of 'wandering' in the Spiral Flake Crystal he was already accustomed to something like this.I think you should take a look at

He continued his search and eventually discovered the second node through the faint fluctuations in space that could only be felt by him. His practice with the Spiral Flake Crystal was once again shining here.

Lin Mu's immortal sense was like water entering a cracked container. No matter how many times it was wrapped with a cloth, water would always find a gap to enter from. Lin Mu was doing the same and eventually, he managed to find the third node.

"This is easier than the Spiral Flake crystal!" Lin Mu was surprised.

He repeated the process, searching for the fourth node on the next layer which he found in a few more minutes.

Fifth node.

Sixth node.

Seventh node.

Eleventh node.

One hundred and eighth node!

As soon as Lin Mu passed through that node, the perception of his Immortal sense changed. No longer was there an obstacle in front of him, but a wide open world!

"I'm in…" Lin Mu said, his voice almost a whisper.

It had been nearly ten hours, and he had managed to not only find a flaw but also exploit it to 'enter' the Spatial Plane.

Of course, entering was a huge word and it was merely his Immortal sense that had managed to enter it. And even then, it was just a thin thread of Immortal sense.
