The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 829: Divine Source Stars

“What… what is this?”

After entering the five-colored vortex passage, Su Jingzhen and the others found themselves in a space that seemed to be shrouded in chaos.

It was as if they were surrounded by countless stars, standing directly under a vast starry sky. The ancient stars twinkled above them, casting a beautiful and mesmerizing glow.

However, the divine aura in the air was so thick that it was almost suffocating.

As Su Jingzhen and the others stared at the ancient stars, a bold prediction began to form in their minds. Their bodies trembled with the realization.

“Could… could each of these stars be transformed by Divine Sources?”

Su Jingzhen licked his lips in disbelief, muttering to himself.

Before his words could even fade away, both Jian Ling and Qiu Yaoyao reacted with a sudden shift in their expressions.

A look of extreme seriousness appeared on their faces. Without hesitation, their overwhelming aura surged, forming an energy shield that enveloped the five of them.

“Be careful!”

Jian Ling shouted.

In the next instant, the brightest star closest to them suddenly plummeted from the void, hurtling directly toward them.

As it neared, Su Jingzhen could distinctly feel the immense pressure emanating from the star.

“!!”

“Boom!”

The next moment, a deafening crash rang out.

The star collided violently with the energy shield that Jian Ling and the others had conjured. The shield shattered in an instant.

In that split second, Su Jingzhen also felt an overwhelming demonic aura emanating from the ancient star.

It seemed as though an ancient beast was hidden within it.

After the shield shattered, the five of them were forced back several steps, but they weren’t injured.

The impact of the star’s collision seemed to be on par with the power of a late-stage Celestial Being Realm, or perhaps even an early-stage Great Perfection Realm.

With Jian Ling present, they were able to withstand it.

However, the next time they looked up, Su Jingzhen and the others felt their scalps tingle with alarm.

More stars began to glow, and it was clear that more would soon fall, each one posing a grave danger to them.

“Retreat!”

Jian Ling commanded firmly.

The first star had been so formidable; if more were to fall, some might even be from the Great Perfection Realm or even stronger.

At that point, even if she exerted all her power, she might not be able to stop them.

It was now clear to them that the stars here were not ordinary-they were formed from extremely advanced Divine Sources, ones that they could not possibly claim.

At the very least, they needed to retreat and reconsider their approach.

The vortex passage they had entered was still intact, floating in the void and showing no signs of closing.

Jian Ling and Qiu Yaoyao led the group toward it.

As they moved toward the passage, Xuening slightly furrowed her brow.

Her gaze remained fixed on the starry sky above, her expression flickering between confusion and clarity.

Just as they were about to leave, a large number of teams rushed in behind them.

Sensing the overwhelming divine aura in the air, the newcomers seemed almost crazed with excitement.

However, in the blink of an eye, the falling stars shattered their dreams.

Many of these newly arrived cultivators, unprepared for the stars’ descent, were instantly annihilated and reduced to dust.

Even early-stage Celestial Being Realm cultivators couldn’t withstand the impact of the stars.

Su Jingzhen and the others couldn’t afford to pity them, as they were already on their way.

Soon, they found themselves back in the void outside the cliff, still shaken by the encounter.

As soon as they reappeared, everyone in the observation plaza stared at them, their brows furrowing in confusion.

The scene from earlier, where they had entered the mysterious space, had not been visible through the formation outside.

“What happened? How did they get out so quickly?”

“Have they already captured the Divine Source inside?”

“Based on their past experiences, even ordinary Divine Source can’t be claimed that quickly. Could it really be as simple as it seems?”

“Or is there something dangerous inside that forced them to retreat immediately?”

“……”

As the people outside continued to speculate, the next moment, the five-colored vortex passage began to shake violently once again.

Figures kept emerging from the passage, most of them with expressions filled with panic.

What made the onlookers even more confused and worried was that at least five to six hundred people had entered the passage, but only a little less than two hundred had returned.

“Could it be that the place is truly filled with extreme danger, and in this short amount of time, so many people have already lost their lives?”

“Just… what is in there?”

“……”

The more mysterious it became, the more curious everyone in the plaza grew.

They could only lament that they themselves were unable to enter the Divine Source Secret Realm.

“Are all those stars in there really Divine Source? I feel like their power is even more terrifying than all the beasts in the Mist Forest.”

Su Jingzhen stared at the five-colored vortex passage, his face still filled with astonishment.

“If I’m not mistaken, when that massive star fell earlier, I definitely saw the shadow of a giant beast within it. 

I’m not sure if the beasts from the Misty Forest have their origin here, or if the beasts in this place will eventually scatter across the entire Divine Source Secret Realm. 

But one thing is for sure, the amount of Divine Sources in this space is enormous. 

If we can get them all, the energy from just the Divine Sources here might be enough to elevate us to an unimaginable level.”

Yan Xia spoke, her eyes gleaming with an intense light.

She looked at the vortex passage with clear anticipation.

“But… but it seems like we can’t collect the stars inside,” Qiu Yaoyao sighed helplessly.

Meanwhile, beside them, Xuening remained silent.

Only Jian Ling looked at Su Jingzhen with curiosity in her expression and asked, “What do you mean by giant beasts?”

At this point, Su Jingzhen no longer held back his explanation.

He briefly told Jian Ling everything that had happened in the misty forest.

Jian Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Looks like you didn’t trust me enough before.”

However, she quickly moved past this issue and continued, “Those ancient stars from the mysterious space earlier – we definitely can’t collect them in the short term. 

To even think about entering, we’ll probably have to combine the efforts of the four of us: Han Qianxue, Xuan Su, Xuan Jin, and myself, just to have a slight chance.”

After saying this, she sighed. “But obviously, they won’t be able to join us at this time. Maybe we can start exploring the misty forest you mentioned.”
