I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Liou Yuan’s hair stood on end. Even though he had lost control of his body, his mind remained clear as he exclaimed in panic at her technique: "Divine Sense method!"

Liou Yuan’s worst fear had come true.

Earlier, within the Radiant Heaven-breaking Array, when he saw those three Foundation Establishment Star Eroders, Liou Yuan had been wary of their tactics, fearing that among them there might be one specializing in Divine Sense, potentially harming him through the array.

Therefore, even when conversing with the female Star Erosion, Liou Yuan had kept a safe distance of two hundred feet away.

"Two hundred feet is described in the book as the limit for Foundation Establishment cultivators to exert Divine Sense techniques."

"And this array should have weakened her Divine Sense power; how could she control me? When did she start influencing me?"

Liou Yuan couldn’t fathom this, as he watched his own body, moving against his will, step by step toward the massive ship under the control of the female Star Erosion.

He was terrified out of his wits.

"Reading has really let me down!"

"If I survive this and return to the Five Extremes Mountain, I’ll set the library on fire!"

The book’s description, stating that the Divine Sense technique limit for Foundation Establishment cultivators is two hundred feet, is actually correct.

Even at the peak of Foundation Establishment, it’s impossible to influence a Qi Cultivation cultivator from beyond this distance with Divine Sense.

But, the book described Human Race Foundation Establishment, not Star Erosion.

Star Erosion is not a demon from this world.

That female Star Erosion is an anomaly among Star Erosions, akin to the Purifying Dark Demon, belonging to a different branch; her innate Divine Sense is powerful.

Her limit is three hundred feet.

Of course, with the weakening effect of the Radiant Heaven-breaking Array, her Divine Sense could only extend just beyond two hundred feet, exactly where Liou Yuan was at that moment.

At this distance, the female Star Erosion struggled greatly to influence Liou Yuan.

It was evident that with each step Liou Yuan took, her human-like face showed a strained expression.

"Can you hold on?" asked the leader of the three Foundation Establishment Star Erosions, the Black Stone Star Erosion, showing concern towards the female Star Erosion.

It wasn’t out of concern for her safety; these Evil Eyes are naturally selfish and cold-blooded. It worried that the female Star Erosion might mess up.

"This Human is very cunning; he kept his distance at over two hundred feet when talking to me before, making my Charm Heart Spell have limited effect on him."

"Luckily, his greed allowed me to find an opening."

"The effort to make him pick up that ship contract has already consumed a significant part of my Charm Heart Spell’s power."

The female Star Erosion gritted her teeth, filled with hatred for Liou Yuan’s caution, as she replied to the Black Stone Star Erosion: "I can barely control him now; before the Charm Heart Spell is exhausted, it’s enough to send him into the Dark Prison Ship."

Thud, thud~ Liou Yuan’s stiff body treaded slowly on the pebbled ground of the port.

The clear sound of footsteps, created by the friction between shoes and pebbles, resounded on the port.

Of course, Liou Yuan would not just surrender without a fight.

He figured out the intention of those Foundation Establishment Star Erosions, which clearly was to send him onto that ghostly ship.

Once aboard, there would be no chance of survival.

Cursing the Star Erosions’ cunning in his heart, he tried using the Blood Absorption Skill, hoping this C-level skill could block the female Star Erosion’s Divine Sense control.

But he found that his blood energy was utterly unresponsive.

Then he attempted to break the situation by activating Sword Qi, a power that even Foundation Establishment cultivators struggle to cultivate, inherently protective, with the potential to solve this predicament.

Clang! The verdant Sword Qi indeed responded, instantly enveloping Liou Yuan’s body.

Under the protection of Sword Qi, Liou Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find himself regaining temporary control of his body.

The previously numb body advancing towards the eerie ship halted immediately.

"It works!" Liou Yuan exclaimed internally, then began to exert the Sword Qi with all his might.

The imposing Sword Qi emanated a fierce aura as if suppressing Divine Sense’s force into isolation.

Meanwhile, at the moment Liou Yuan’s footsteps paused, the female Star Erosion’s face was filled with alarm.

Seeing the radiance on Liou Yuan’s body, she shouted out two words in surprise: "Body-Protecting Sword Qi!"

"It’s impossible; he is just a Qi Cultivation cultivator; how could he cultivate Sword Qi?" the Jade Stone Star Erosion angrily rebuked, glaring venomously at Liou Yuan’s silhouette competing for body control against the female Star Erosion on the pebbled port.

It even developed a hatred for the female Star Erosion, coldly snarling, "If you let him escape today, don’t think of surviving either."

The female Star Erosion’s face turned pale, then she glanced pleadingly at the Black Stone Star Erosion.

The latter returned a gaze even cold as the Jade Stone Star Erosion, clearly sharing the same thought, frightening the female Star Erosion into a deathly pallor.

Driven to the brink of desperation, the female Star Erosion gritted her lower lip, making a decision under her two companions’ watchful eyes, she plunged her hand directly into her towering chest and abdomen.

Thud! Pink blood gushed from her abdomen.

Ignoring her body’s pain, she extracted her Stone Marrow, the condensation of her Star Erosion’s energy.

Using her Stone Marrow as a source, she began applying a more potent Charm Heart Spell.

Yet in despair, she found that the standing man on the pebbled ground showed no inclination to move a muscle despite her desperate action.

It seemed her Charm Heart Spell no longer had any influence over him.
