This was a completely new realization; the previously unclear aspects of the Sitting Forgetting Sutra suddenly blossomed like flowers and fell like leaves. It was as if a clear spring was gushing forth in his mind.
Although it did not enhance his combat power, it did advance his understanding of cultivation.
The obstacles posed by the celestial bodies no longer affected him. In fact, the Planetary Will conveyed a kind of familiarity to Zuo Dao, treating him as a kindred spirit or companion.
At this moment, Zuo Dao was in no rush to enter the planet; instead, he leisurely roamed through the Cloud Sea. He communicated with the Planetary Will while integrating it with the Sitting Forgetting Sutra, embarking on a new round of enlightenment.
At this time, Zuo Dao felt as if he were immersed in the Sitting Forgetting Sutra, with countless insights surfacing in his mind. Such opportunities were rare; Zuo Dao had thought he understood the Sitting Forgetting Sutra thoroughly as his first Mind Method. Only now did he realize how far off he had been.
He felt like a student studying from a college literature textbook, knowing only its form but not its essence. Even if he did not find what he sought this time, the journey was not in vain.
The crew aboard the Battleship went about their tasks; aside from some necessary communications and defense personnel, everyone else dispersed. They knew what they were supposed to do—waiting was all they could think of as a better answer.
The Three Women had no excessive worries; they set up a game and began playing mahjong with Zuo Dao's stakes, albeit with an astonishingly high bet. Tang Fengyue watched curiously for a moment but quickly lost interest when she saw their betting amounts.
The leader was indeed impressive to come up with such a game. Even more outrageous was that the leader's women could think of such stakes; to avoid being silenced, they had no choice but to participate. She couldn't help but maliciously wonder if this would also dictate future arrangements for their nights together.
Zuo Dao's state at this moment was remarkably good. The entire planet had transitioned from initial resistance to acceptance, and the entanglements along the way deepened his understanding of the Dao.
In that instant, he even sensed the essence of this Planetary Will—a mysterious entity deeply rooted in the Earth's core. He did not know what caused its mutation. Even though Zuo Dao had gained recognition from the planet, he could not see through that object.
The power contained within it was astonishing, like the boundless Great Sun, fierce and unrestrained, or like the endless rivers and mountains that stretched on forever. However, Zuo Dao realized at first glance that this power could be refined.
Yet as soon as this thought crossed his mind, the Planetary Will exhibited an unsettling emotion and abruptly pulled Zuo Dao out of his state of enlightenment.
Although it felt a bit regrettable, Zuo Dao still attempted to communicate, alleviating the other party's unease. The main reason was that the power was too overwhelming; even if he wanted to refine it, he had no idea how to start.
However, since the insight had been interrupted, he decided to focus on the matter at hand. Although the will of this planet was strong, it seemed somewhat lacking in intelligence, and Zuo Dao quickly grasped the general situation of this world.
What he did not expect was that this planet actually had an owner. Moreover, it had existed for a considerable time, dating back to ancient times.
The star was named Northern Crossing. In the later stages of the Ancient War, it was named after an immortal who took residence there, but at that time, this vast expanse of starry sky was a desolate place. The immortal known as Northern Crossing was also a survivor of that battle, trapped in this location.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Dao couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could this Northern Crossing Immortal be the fourth "Chessmaster" that had appeared? However, through further exchanges, he learned that although the Northern Crossing Immortal had survived, he was severely injured.
After arriving on this planet tens of thousands of years later, his injuries worsened due to a lack of better resources, ultimately leading to his demise and merging with the earth.
A once-great immortal met an end far from home, which made Zuo Dao ponder just how fierce that ancient war must have been. Yet, the Northern Crossing Immortal left no words about that war; all that remained were his own teachings and legacy. Today, the Northern Crossing Star bears the bloodline of the Northern Crossing Immortal, but each generation has been weaker than the last. Even so, the Beidu Clan remains the undisputed ruler of Northern Crossing Star, with no force daring to provoke them.
Northern Crossing is a glorious name on this planet; it symbolizes something significant. Coupled with the immortal's last message upon passing:
"Northern Crossing perishes; Northern Crossing perishes."
This made people even more cautious; the implication was clear. If the Northern Crossing Family fell, so too would the Northern Crossing Star.
Having understood this much, Zuo Dao finally realized where the source of that fluctuation originated. After all, it was an immortal's presence—one who had survived the Ancient War—so it was natural for there to be one or two Celestial Artifacts involved.
At this point, Zuo Dao began to lose interest. If it were an unclaimed Celestial Artifact, he might have considered taking a chance. However, when it came to artifacts with owners—especially those left behind by the founders of this planet's order—Zuo Dao had never been particularly interested.
The classification of immortals is symbolic at every level.
Soldiers, generals, masters, lords, kings, emperors.
In the memories of Zuo Dao, there was not a single hint of information regarding the Immortal Emperor. However, combining his knowledge from his past life, Zuo Dao could imagine that there were certainly even more powerful figures above the Immortal Emperor.
The Northern Crossing Immortal was one such figure, a master-level existence. Although not particularly strong in ancient times, in the present day, he was someone to be looked up to.
The legacy left by such a person was undoubtedly beyond Zuo Dao's reach. As the saying goes, "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse." Coupled with the words left behind by the Northern Crossing as he lay dying, it was clear how immensely important he viewed future generations.
Since there was nothing here that he desired, Zuo Dao naturally prepared to leave.
However, just as he was about to turn away, a voice suddenly reached him.
"Who dares to intrude upon Northern Crossing?"
The arrogance and dominance in the tone made it easy for Zuo Dao to imagine what kind of person stood behind the voice, even without seeing them.
He had no desire to engage further with such an individual. Someone who grew up in this environment would undoubtedly be akin to a rabid dog.
Moreover, he sensed a faint connection between the newcomer and Northern Crossing Star. Although this connection was tenuous, Zuo Dao could feel that the person was a descendant of the Northern Crossing Immortal after his previous encounter with Planetary Will.
Even out of respect for the Northern Crossing Immortal, Zuo Dao chose not to respond and swiftly made his exit.
The other party seemed to sense Zuo Dao's intention to leave and did not hesitate; instead, they rushed forward with an urgent shout.
Beiduxuanqing could only be considered an outsider within the Beidu Clan. However, due to the unique nature of Northern Crossing's name, he was regarded as a prominent figure throughout Northern Crossing Star. The current Beidu Clan certainly did not lack individuals like him.
Because he was a Branch member, even though he was a Robber Monk, he still had the duty to patrol. This was originally a good job, as the unique geographical location of the Northern Crossing Star, combined with the presence of the Planetary Will, meant that no one could intrude.
Today, Northern Crossing Qing felt a sudden urge to wander around and unexpectedly discovered someone. Judging by his attire, Zuo Dao was definitely not from this planet. Even if he were from this planet, it would be impossible for him to walk out of the Northern Crossing Star without the Northern Crossing Immortal Bloodline.
The appearance of Zuo Dao thrilled Northern Crossing Qing. If he could capture this person alive, it would be an incredible achievement for him, especially since it had been many years since anyone from outside had set foot on the Northern Crossing Star.
The last time was something he had read in his Clan's historical records. However, that outsider's appearance had directly led to the current power of the main faction.
What infuriated Northern Crossing Qing was that Zuo Dao completely ignored his words, as if the Northern Crossing Star held no significance for him at all.
He must capture this person; perhaps the glory of the Branch would arise in his hands.
With his formidable cultivation at the brink of a breakthrough, capturing Zuo Dao would be effortless. Although he didn't know how Zuo Dao had breached the Planetary Will to enter, that alone was reason enough not to let him go.
For both personal and public reasons, Northern Crossing Qing felt compelled to take action.
"Northern Crossing Divine Fist."
Without regard for Zuo Dao's intentions, he unleashed one of the Northern Crossing's ultimate techniques.
There was no earth-shattering explosion or shocking display. This punch was silent and unassuming; once it left Northern Crossing Qing's body, it expanded infinitely until it covered a radius of a hundred miles around Zuo Dao.
Although Zuo Dao attempted to turn and leave, he remained cautious. The opponent indeed struck first and did so without hesitation; there was even a hint of malice in their attack. If Zuo Dao hadn't been strong enough, he wouldn't have sensed the opponent's movement at all.
As the shadow of the fist approached him, Zuo Dao realized the power behind it. Despite the opponent's character being questionable, their strength was commendable. A tremendous force surged through Zuo Dao's body from his skin.
Although this punch was not enough to end a life, it had provoked Zuo Dao's wrath. He had never encountered such an immoral and unscrupulous person. Despite making it clear that he was merely a passerby, the other party refused to believe it and continued to press on, truly thinking that he was afraid of him.
In truth, Zuo Dao was also wronging Northern Crossing Qing. After all, the Beidu Clan had a reputation that echoed throughout Northern Crossing Star!
Anyone who grew up in such an environment over generations would have deeply ingrained thoughts of Supreme Authority. Even if the current Beidu Clan was somewhat declining, they were still the kings of Northern Crossing Star.
Northern Crossing Qing did not use his full strength with that punch; he only aimed to seriously injure his opponent and capture him alive to extract some information, especially regarding how the other party managed to pass through the Planetary Will defenses unscathed. Just this point alone warranted his action.
Zuo Dao was furious, and the consequences would be severe.
"Get lost!" With a voice like thunder, Zuo Dao let out a roar that shattered the shadow of the punch.
Northern Crossing Qing was not a frivolous character; he was considered talented within the Branch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned this patrol duty.
With a single shout dispersing his own punch's shadow, Zuo Dao's displayed strength made Northern Crossing Qing look at him with new respect. Without hesitation, he unleashed his full power and charged at Zuo Dao while declaring, "Since you've come, you won't be leaving. Northern Crossing Star is not a place you can come and go as you please."
