I Have a Compass for Opportunity

"Whether it’s the Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing, the ghost ship at the crossing, or Su’e’s sect information, it seems I’ll have to visit the Inner Sect’s library to have a look."

"If even the Inner Sect doesn’t have any information in this regard, I think it’s better not to visit the Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing. It’s too ominous."

Liou Yuan muttered to himself.

As he had deliberately gathered information about the Disaster of the Star Eclipse over time, his understanding of the calamity had become increasingly clear.

During the chronological impact of that disaster on the entire Cyan Feather Realm, many peculiar and bizarre events occurred within the realm itself during that period.

First, before the Disaster of the Star Eclipse, there were indeed several Nascent Soul cultivators within the Cyan Feather Realm.

Yet in the centuries leading up to the Disaster of the Star Eclipse,

Cultivators above the Nascent Soul level seemed to vanish into thin air from the Cyan Feather Realm.

Only then did the Disaster of the Star Eclipse occur.

The meteor carrying the star eclipse seemed to fall into the Cyan Feather Realm as if perfectly timed, inherently strange.

Then, when the star eclipse emerged, it took on a stance of conquering everywhere, exterminating countless sects and slaughtering Golden Core cultivators.

"On the surface, it seems like they are devouring the cultivators of this realm."

"But the star eclipse would also venture into desolate and secluded places."

"It gives me the feeling that the star eclipse came to the Cyan Feather Realm as if searching for something."

Liou Yuan’s intuition had always been accurate; he keenly sensed this particular point. Hence, he suspected there were hidden secrets behind the Disaster of the Star Eclipse, unknown to the world.

However, much information had been erased from that part of history, as if someone had deliberately wiped it away, leaving Liou Yuan feeling at a loss on where to start.

The more this happened, the more Liou Yuan dared not delve deeply into the secrets behind the Disaster of the Star Eclipse.

Afraid of touching a level he shouldn’t, and ending up dead without knowing how it happened.

"Curiosity killed the cat; I just want to reap some benefits from it."

"There’s no need to take such a huge risk."

Liou Yuan shook his head and picked up several books in front of him, returning them to their original places.

A phrase from his previous world deeply resonated with him.

When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

In this world, where even flying-sword cultivators exist, perhaps true immortals do as well.

The presence of those levels might bring the risk of death just by proximity.

In the previous world, death was just death, but in this world, dying meant one’s soul would be shattered, never reincarnating.

After putting the books back, Liou Yuan greeted the disciple responsible for registration in the library and left under the latter’s respectful gaze.

After Pan Yang’s death, the library’s position was soon taken over by another Outer Sect disciple, also at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer like Pan Yang.

In the face of Liou Yuan’s infamous reputation at the Five Extremes Mountain, he could only greet him with a smile.

Returning to the cave residence.

From a distance, Liou Yuan saw a woman in a red dress standing before his cave’s array.

Although she was facing the array with her back towards Liou Yuan, her cold and sharp demeanor made her a unique presence in the Outer Sect of the Five Extremes Mountain.

With just one glance, Liou Yuan confirmed her identity.

"Yan Yingsi!"

Isn’t she the notorious woman from the Disciplinary Hall’s Wind Chasing Division?

Liou Yuan’s instinctive reaction was that she came to stir trouble, as he immediately placed his hand on the Canglan Sword.

He and Yan Yingsi had never been on good terms.

The unsettling woman probably got her wires crossed and came to cause trouble, so Liou Yuan remained on guard.

As he approached, Yan Yingsi noticed his arrival from afar, turned around, and revealed her cold yet exquisitely beautiful visage.

"So you’re this afraid of me?"

Yan Yingsi glanced at Liou Yuan’s hand resting on the sword’s hilt, her lips curling into a signature mocking smile.
