Under Chen Feng's control, the power unleashed by the Bedazzling Star Map grew increasingly formidable. Naturally, given Chen Feng's present level of strength, unleas.h.i.+ng this pseudo-Divine artifact's full power on his own was an impossibility. But with the Longevity Tower on his side, that was not an issue.

Still, the una.s.suming scroll continued to slowly unfurl. Chen Feng's eyelids had begun twitching. He felt like an ordinary human in the face of a soon-to-erupt volcano. He could clearly sense danger.

“What magic treasure is this?” Chen Feng's heart palpitated wildly. Surprisingly, he felt hot.

“It's a pseudo-Divine artifact. Only, it is slightly stronger compared to the star map in your possession. It is already very close to the Divine tier. Additionally, the scroll also contains some other powers. Unleas.h.i.+ng those powers would bring it to the Divine tier,” Tower said.

“Can you handle it?” That was Chen Feng's biggest concern.

“Hard to say. Still, there's no one controlling it. I also don't feel any danger. I believe there should be no issues here.” There was uncertainty in Tower's voice.

The scroll was completely cyan in colour. As it unfurled, wisps of cyan light flowed out like waves of water. In the end, the growing amount of cyan light transformed into rivulets of water before turning into a great river, surging ceaselessly. Chen Feng could hear the sound of running water from it.

As expected, those peculiar powers came from the scroll. It must be a water-type magic treasure. Chen Feng nodded.

By then, the Bedazzling Star Map had already begun to shrink, from a length of billions of li down to tens of millions of li. As for the scroll, it finally finished unfurling and the river formed from the cyan light – spanning a length of tens of millions of li – became like a river of stars. Starlight could be seen within the flowing water.

Boom!

The river surged forward, becoming increasingly spectacular and wide as it charged towards the Bedazzling Star Map. Instantly, the stars on Chen Feng's side began shrinking. The cl.u.s.ter of stars began dimming away, replaced instead by streams of cyan light.

Chen Feng sensed that he had entered a mysterious stream of water. It was akin to a normal human who had fallen into the ocean, incapable of determining one's own fate.

Water essence. As it so happens, the longevity-type primary energy that I cultivate requires this. After reaching that line of thought, Chen Feng swiftly mobilized his longevity-type primary energy, which surged forward to begin devouring the surrounding power.

Wisps of power flowed into Chen Feng's body and his longevity-type primary energy grew more vigorous. Of course, Chen Feng was aware that the amount of power he could absorb at his current level was negligible in the eyes of the scroll.

Once again, his actions helped him verify his speculations.

“It should be an ownerless object.”

“If it's ownerless, this will be much easier.” Truth be told, Tower had not been staying idle since they entered this group of asteroids. Unbeknownst to Chen Feng, Tower had been secretly taking action.

“So, it's an array diagram. It has completely suppressed my Bedazzling Star Map.” Chen Feng was feeling both excited and somewhat unhappy. The Bedazzling Star Map shrank again. This array diagram was giving Chen Feng a great deal of pressure. 

Boom!

The array diagram that had already fully unfurled expanded again to collect the entire group of asteroids into itself as it occupied the expanse of s.p.a.ce there. Next, a tangible wave of energy fluctuations made its way through the Bedazzling Star Map to enter Chen Feng's sea of wisdom.

“Tower! Hurry up and do something!” Chen Feng panicked somewhat. Seeing an attack come at him from a pseudo-Divine artifact, Chen Feng knew that he would be incapable of blocking.

“Don't worry. Looks like you're the destined one this time.” Not only did Tower not make a move, he instead burst into laughter.

“Destined one my a.s.s!” Chen Feng retorted. Only, after entering Chen Feng's sea of wisdom, the wave of energy fluctuations spread out and flowing light flashed. After that, an array diagram appeared in his sea of wisdom. Surprisingly, it was identical to the scroll outside. An endless number of images and mysteries tumbled about to instantly flood Chen Feng's entire sea of wisdom.

“Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin. This is a strand of the primary spirit belonging to the array diagram. Strange. Why did it leave this legacy to me? Am I really the destined one? Surely not?”

Despite having said that he was the destined person, Chen Feng was still displaying wariness towards the array diagram as he pondered the situation.

Throughout his path of cultivation, Chen Feng had come to understand some truths. Benefits would not fall onto his lap without rhyme or reason. For this array diagram to fall into his hands, there must surely be a reason for this.

“Heh! If it weren't for the fact that the other guy sensed my aura, would he care about a minor Earthen Immortal like you?” Tower said contemptuously.

Hearing that, Chen Feng immediately understood and he was able to instantly piece everything together.

The process of accepting it took several days. Chen Feng leapt out from the Bedazzling Star Map and transformed into a stream of light before entering the Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin.

The reason this scroll was named the Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin was because the core part of the scroll was forged using the Paramount Water of First Origin. In addition, there were also various water-type spiritual objects that were rare throughout the universe. For example, there were the Yellow Springs Water, Primary Water of Three Yin, Primary Water of Extreme Yang and some other rare water-type powers.

After entering the array diagram, Chen Feng's divine sense spread out like countless tentacles as he began taking control of this pseudo-Divine artifact. Contrary to his expectations, the process was very simple. It did not take long before he emerged from the array diagram. Then, with a wave of his hand, the array diagram that had taken the form of a river of stars shrank rapidly to once again become a scroll, which then fell into Chen Feng's hand.

Naturally, the reason Chen Feng could so smoothly collect this pseudo-Divine artifact was because the pseudo-Divine artifact itself had chosen him. Without that, even if the Longevity Tower were to unleash all its power, collecting this pseudo-Divine artifact would have taken quite some effort.

“This pseudo-Divine artifact is already superior to the Bedazzling Star Map. Unexpectedly, the harvest this time is really great.” After saying that, Chen Feng shook the Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin slightly and both Bi Qing and Huo Yunlong fell out from it.

“What happened?” Huo Yunlong was surprised.

“Looks like you managed to obtain it,” Bi Qing said. Looking at the scroll in Chen Feng's hand, could Bi Qing not know what had happened?

Earlier, Bi Qing and Huo Yunlong had entered the array diagram. There, they faced some tests. Only, they ended up coming out before the tests were over.

“Fellows, there is no helping it. The other party was the one who decided on this.” With a wry smile, Chen Feng then informed them what happened earlier.

“Humph! Why can't something that good happen to me?” Huo Yunlong became somewhat unhappy.

Even the worse pseudo-Divine artifact was still far superior compared to a top-grade Immortal artifact. Saying that he was not envious would be a lie.

“We managed to gain some harvest this time as well. Now, it is time we head back.” Bi Qing then changed the subject. He was once a Heavenly Immortal, after all. He had seen much in his time. Although a pseudo-Divine artifact was quite attractive to him, it was not enough to destroy his dao heart.

“Let's go!”

“Eh, careful!”

Just as the three of them were about to leave, a dazzling pillar of light abruptly stretched forward from the depths of outer s.p.a.ce. At a glance, one would have mistaken it for a comet. Only, this pillar of light was extremely fast. Right after the three of them noticed it, it traversed a distance of billions of li in but the blink of an eye, charging straight towards them.

“Break!”

“Hack!”

“Open!”

In the face of this sudden attack, the three of them had wanted to evade only to find that the attack had locked down on their auras. Due to that, the three of them swiftly attacked instead. Three blasts of power shot through s.p.a.ce and light instantly erupted. It was akin to the explosion of star, illuminating a vast expanse of s.p.a.ce there with light.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Chen Feng's team of three reacted swiftly. Right after taking down the pillar of light, they charged forward. Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong flew forward from the left and right respectively while Bi Qing charged straight ahead. A cyan-coloured astral sword flew forward, streaking through s.p.a.ce. It was several notches stronger compared to the earlier pillar of light.

Boom!

Far in the depths of s.p.a.ce, something was struck by it. After a long time, the shockwaves finally made its way towards them.

“The power of the pillar of light is comparable to an attack from a True Immortal,” Bi Qing said solemnly.

“The power behind it feels cold. It must be from a wars.h.i.+p's magic treasure or something similar,” Chen Feng said, his pupils spinning as his gaze peered deep into s.p.a.ce.

“It's an army, made up entirely of wars.h.i.+ps! There are over 100,000 wars.h.i.+ps, all at the Immortal-tier!” After some time, Chen Feng retracted his gaze, but what he said next caused Bi Qing and Huo Yunlong to become anxious.

“Is this force from the Immortal Plane?” Huo Yunlong speculated.

Despite Huo Yunlong's speculations, 100,000 Immortal-tier wars.h.i.+ps were a rare sight even in the Immortal Plane. Not to mention, all 100,000 of them were grouped together here. In their opinion, the worlds that were weaker than the Immortal Plane should not possess this type of power.

“Don't forget, there are worlds that are even stronger than the Immortal Plane,” Chen Feng said.

“You mean the Celestial Planes, but that is likely impossible, no?”

“Careful, the other party's attack has come once more.” Sword intent surged out from Bi Qing's whole body and he became like a sword. With a flash, the three beams of light coming at them were all destroyed.

“Their background aside, I am worried that they might be heading to Eternal World,” Chen Feng said. Should this power descend upon Eternal World, it could destroy it.

By going all out, Chen Feng was able to fight against a True Immortal. However, he only had a few Immortal artifacts on him. This fleet of 100,000 Immortal-tier wars.h.i.+ps had already exceeded Chen Feng's imaginations. He felt as though there was no way to fight them. 

“Their side definitely has True Immortals. I will go lure them out while you two find the right timing to attack.” After saying that, Bi Qing charged far ahead while firing out astral swords non-stop. His attacks bore fruit. His first astral sword managed to pierce one of the wars.h.i.+ps. Even his subsequent astral swords, which shot into the fleet of wars.h.i.+ps, were able to inflict some damage upon the fleet. One of the wars.h.i.+ps, in fact, broke apart due to his attacks.

Seeing that, however, did not fill Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong with joy. On the contrary, their faces took on grim expressions. Given Bi Qing's level of strength, each of his attacks should have been able to destroy a wars.h.i.+p. However, most of his attacks were stopped halfway through. Additionally, Chen Feng also noticed that some of the other party's wars.h.i.+ps were of a very high grade. Rather, some were even at the top-grade Immortal tier.
