“Do you all feel it?” Wang Fu suddenly asked the others in his group while holding up the astrolabe in his hand.
The others looked at him and nodded before looking in the same direction as before.
Wang Fu also looked in that direction with knitted brows as he said, “This is clearly the karma of the immortals, but why would it appear in a place like this? Also, it seems like it’s faint, as if it’s about to disappear…”
The others didn’t say anything, but the look on their faces seemed like they agreed to this.
After a moment of silence, Wang Fu waved for his group to follow him as they continued forward.
It was at this moment that several goblins suddenly jumped out at them.
Their group had been completely focused on their astrolabes that they hadn’t noticed the goblins sneaking up on them.
However, it wasn’t as if this was a problem for them.
The goblins were only equivalent to Qi Gathering Realm Cultivators and this was a group of young talents from a hidden faction, they were not weak by any means. The goblins were nothing more than cannon fodder when facing them.
It didn’t matter if the goblins had caught them off guard, they were still able to easily dispatch the goblins.
It wasn’t even necessary for most of them to act, just Mei Yu alone was able to take down all of these goblins.
When it was over, they all shook their heads as Wang Fu said, “Little sister, you should let us help you take care of some of them.”
Mei Yu looked back with a bit of goblin blood on her face to say, “It’s more fun this way.”
While she still followed the teachings of their Star Tower, she was more of a rambunctious person that likes to cause trouble. All of her senior brothers and sisters knew about this, but there was nothing that they could do since this was just her personality.
At the same time, she seemed to know what her limits were, so they just left her be.
Wang Fu still came forward and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off her face before saying, “Still, it’s safer if you don’t rush in all by yourself. You should learn to rely on us from time to time.”
There was a blush that appeared on Mei Yu’s face as Wang Fu did this.
It was clear what she felt, even if Wang Fu acted like he didn’t see anything.
The others all looked at Wang Fu like he was a dense idiot, but Wang Fu didn’t care as he just wiped the blood off Mei Yu’s face.
When it was over, they went back to following their astrolabes like nothing happened.
They didn’t seem to care at all about the loot that the goblins dropped, it was as if they only cared about what their astrolabes were showing them.
Following these astrolabes, they made their way deeper and deeper into the dungeon.
Along the way, they encountered other people that were also making their way through the dungeon, but they completely ignored them. These other people looked at this Star Tower group with strange looks when they saw them like this, but otherwise they just left them alone.
Most people left each other alone in this place since that was just how they treated each other.
They were all here for their own gains after all and most people didn’t trust others that weren’t a part of their group.
Though that didn’t stop them from looking at this group walking with astrolabes out with strange looks.
There were also monsters that were encountered along the way, but they were easily dealt with by this Star Tower group.
The monsters that were in this dungeon were at most in the Foundation Realm, so they didn’t pose any threat at all to these powerful disciples of a hidden faction.
The only problem that they encountered was…
“It’s a dead end.” Wang Fu said as he looked at the wall in front of him.
The others nodded in agreement as they also just stared at this wall.
Then all of them looked down at their astrolabe as if they were confirming something, but it didn’t seem like there was anything that could change the situation that was in front of them.
The wall that was there was a wall regardless of what they did, it wasn’t something that could be changed.
So all that they could do was stand there staring at the wall as if they were trying to figure out what to do.
Mei Yu was the one that moved first as she pulled out her sword and swung it down at the wall.
Only the moment that her sword made contact with the wall, it bounced back.
After that, looking at the wall, it didn’t seem like the sword had made a single scratch on it. Rather, it was the sword that had chipped because Mei Yu had swung it against the wall.
The entire Star Tower group looked at the wall in shock before slowly turning to look at Mei Yu.
Wang Fu asked, “Did you hold back?”
Mei Yu just slowly shook her head before looking at the wall in shock.
Everyone knew just how strong Mei Yu was, so the fact that the wall had been able to resist this blow from her was enough to show just how thick this wall was.
After a long silence, everyone turned to look at Wang Fu.
He was the only one of them that was stronger than Mei Yu, so if there was anyone that could break this wall, it was him.
Wang Fu didn’t say anything in response to the looks that they cast in his direction.
Instead, he just moved forward to place his hand on the wall as if he was taking a closer look at the wall.
They just waited in silence to see what Wang Fu’s reaction would be.
In the end, Wang Fu shook his head and said, “It’s impossible, I can’t break through this wall either.”
They weren’t surprised to hear this, but there were still disappointed looks that appeared on their faces. After looking at Wang Fu with these disappointed looks for a bit, they decided to do something else.
It wasn’t as if they could rely on Wang Fu alone for this matter.
At the very least, they knew that what they were looking for was behind this wall, they just had to find a wall to get through this wall and reach the thing that they were looking for.
“There has to be some kind of hidden passage.” One of them suddenly said out loud.
At this, the others started searching around the area as if they were trying to find something that would trigger this hidden passage. Only they weren’t able to find a single thing as they looked around the area.
That was when one of them suddenly had another idea.
They pulled out the astrolabe and injected their spiritual energy.
This was their specialty, so they would use it to their advantage.
If they could find the hidden passage with their fortune telling, then there was no reason for them not to use it.
However, Wang Fu had his brows knit as if he thought that something was wrong.
“Wait, don’t!” When he said this, it was already too late.
The one that had used the astrolabe suddenly bent over and spat out blood before collapsing to the ground.
Everyone stared at this person in shock before quickly coming over to help them, but Wang Fu stopped them all as he went over personally. He didn’t do anything to help this person and simply put his hand on their back, but it seemed like they were getting better from this.
At the same time, Wang Fu winced his face as if there was something affecting him.
All of them knew why this person had suddenly spat out blood like this.
It was a backlash from using the astrolabe.
This was something that happened when they tried to peek into the fate of something that they shouldn’t touch. It was something that was much more powerful than them which would cause this backlash.
But they couldn’t understand what happened.
Or at least that was until Wang Fu explained it, “Even if it’s just trying to find the secret entrance, this is something that has to do with the karma of an immortal. Do you really think that the secrets of the immortals would be that easy to peek into?”
All of them immediately understood what he meant by this.
This secret passage would lead them to the thing that had the trace of the immortal on it. That meant that this thing that they were looking for was related to an immortal in some way.
Each immortal was a powerful expert that transcended the bounds of their lower realm and went to the upper realm, so they had powerful karma to them.
For beings like them that were from the lower realm, peeking into the karma of immortals was a large risk.
That was why this person had suffered a backlash.
Once Wang Fu had finished helping this person with the backlash, he turned back to look at the wall.
But in the end, he said with a sigh, “Let’s head back.”
All of them seemed unwilling until he said, “We can stay here for as long as we want, so there’s no need to worry about this thing running away. If we stay here too long, we’ll attract suspicion and they’ll find out about this thing as well. We want to remain friends with Lin Fan and the Love Sect, so we can’t ruin that relationship just for this.”
All of them slowly nodded in agreement, but it seemed like they were still unwilling to leave.
