Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

207: Chapter 207: The Mystery of the Star Path and the Horror of the RiftThe feeling of the world spinning didn’t last long, replaced by a strange weightlessness and silence. The three seemed to be in a tunnel woven from countless streams of light, surrounded by brilliant starlight retreating rapidly, outlining the channel’s contours. No sound of wind, no friction, only a low hum, seemingly from the depths of the Universe, echoing in their ears.

Is this the Ancient Starry Sky Road?

Nangong Xuan steadied himself, his Divine Sense spreading out to carefully perceive the surroundings. The channel walls weren’t solid but composed of dense spatial power and some unknown astral energy, stable and firm. They were being carried by a gentle yet powerful spatial thrust, traveling forward at a speed thousands of times faster than their own flight speed.

The phantom star key emitted a joyful light hum within his Dantian, appearing exceptionally adapted to the surrounding spatial environment, even actively absorbing wisps of stray spatial energy, its silver glow brightening slightly. The sharp metal star key and water star key remained relatively calm, and the nirvana true seal fragment was still heavy and silent.

Su Muxue and Zi Linger had also never experienced such a strange journey, curiously observing the brilliantly colored channel.

”What a wondrous place, I can’t feel the passage of time...” Zi Linger reached out, trying to touch the firefly-like starlight, but her fingertips passed right through, leaving only a trace of cool energy sensation.

”According to ancient records, the Ancient Starry Sky Road is a shortcut opened or discovered by ancient powerhouses, capable of warping space and shrinking distances. But it’s not absolutely safe; spatial turbulence or ancient traps often hide within.” Nangong Xuan said in a deep voice, not daring to be careless, maintaining his Protective Aura at all times. Elder Elder Mu Li’s warnings still rang in his ears.

He unfolded the beast skin star map. Peculiarly, after entering this ancient road, the starlight dots on the star map seemed to come alive, echoing the flowing lights on the actual channel walls outside, clearly marking their current position and direction. The indication of energy flow on the map also became clearer.

”According to the star map, we need to follow the main light path. We will pass through three obvious spatial energy nodes on the way, where we need to use special techniques to slightly stabilize the channel to avoid being randomly teleported to unknown branches. After reaching the third node, we will be near the exit on the outskirts of the Southern Desolate.” Nangong Xuan interpreted the star map information and taught the simple stabilization technique to the two women.

The journey started smoothly, with the ancient road stable and the energy peaceful. The three could even distract themselves with meditation, feeling this rare high-speed travel.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps an instant or several hours, the flowing light on the channel wall ahead suddenly became somewhat chaotic, and the color was no longer single, beginning to mix with some dark red energy threads pulsing like blood vessels.

”Careful, the first energy node is coming up, and it seems a bit unstable.” Nangong Xuan reminded, following the star map’s instructions, and was the first to strike out a stabilization technique.

The technique turned into a silver light and merged into the channel wall ahead. The restless dark red energy threads calmed down slightly, but were not completely settled.

”It seems not enough?” Su Muxue frowned and also struck out a technique.

The two struck out several techniques in succession before the node finally stabilized completely, and the channel returned to normal. But all three felt that this ancient road might not be as foolproof as imagined.

Continuing forward, they passed through another long, star-studded, peaceful stretch. The starlight around them became even more abundant, and occasionally, they could even see huge, blurry nebula-like Illusory Shadows flashing past outside the channel, magnificent and grand.

However, shortly after passing the second energy node (which was relatively stable this time), a sudden change occurred!

Without warning, the channel wall ahead and to the side suddenly caved inward, as if struck by an invisible giant fist, then twisted violently, splitting open a huge black rift with unstable electric light flickering at its edges!
