Mai Siwei felt a slight discomfort as he left the starship. The harmful radiation in space and various cosmic rays also fall within the category of electromagnetic waves, and the electrons within the high-speed cosmic dust and tiny teorites would be deflected or repelled the mont they encountered his Protective Gang Qi.
What truly made life beings uneasy was the Spirit Energy Environnt of outer space.
The most peculiar property of Spiritual Energy is its tendency to converge "towards ordered and complex systems."
The Spiritual Energy outside the gravitational bounds of a planet is extrely chaotic and difficult to capture. Although for a constant star, its gravity field's boundary can reach several light-years away, enveloping the Xihe Nebula (a remnant of the Creation Nebula, like the Oort Nebula to Earth). However, planets rich in life and with a complete ecological system are where the density of Spiritual Energy is highest.
Such a planet might only account for one ten-thousandth of the total mass of a Constant Star System, but its Spiritual Energy can reach up to three percent.
For an Immortal, the vast Spiritual Energy of a constant star provides a "main course" al that's abundant but plain, while planets with ecological systems offer refined "snacks."
Luckily, for a Modern Cultivator from Shenzhou, the Infinite Sea of Vacuum is always there.
The ground state field is attracted and manifests as Spiritual Energy, an ex nihilo strength that fills Mai Siwei completely. This is a capability owned since the Void Refining Period, where, with a perfected inner Heaven and Earth, one can draw power from the Infinite Sea of Vacuum as if a true Heaven and Earth were being created.
"New theories, huh..." Mai Siwei transford into Electric Light. His Escape Skill was very different from the low-level kinetic and potential energy flying Escape Technique. His flight was propelled by magnetic fields. After shedding most of his static mass, his speed accelerated to sub-light speed, and in just a few minutes, he crossed half an astronomical unit, entering the magnetic field range of Planet Sea Sky.
By this point, he reverted to his Original Body, floating on the magnetic force outside the planet's atmosphere. The Nine Heavens Gang Wind layer of this planet was surprisingly weak, nowhere near as strong as Shenzhou's. Mai Siwei slowly passed through it and entered the planet.
He took a deep breath and then said, "The oxygen content is a bit high."
His communicator relayed these words back to the Lieque Ship. As the coordinator, Liu Yuxi responded, "Elder, according to the elental spectrum, the oxygen here is close to forty percent. It's speculated that blue algae might be present, and it is currently a ti when the first generation of 'producers' are flourishing."
The first mass extinction in ecological history often cos not from external forces but from the ecosystem itself—the birth of the earliest plants. During photosynthesis, oxygen is a useless byproduct that is massively released into the atmosphere. To more primitive life forms, oxygen is an outright poison. At this stage, those primitive algae will kill off the majority of bacteria.
In the evolutionary history of Shenzhou, the birth of the Sea God signifies the obliteration of a sea of life beings.
Mai Siwei continued to descend. Soon, he could see the clouds. He seed to be between Heaven and Earth, where clouds and sky rged in the distance to form a narrow do. A rainbow spanned Heaven and Earth, which was the planet ring of this world. It was incredibly thin, like a streak of variegated light in the sky, predominantly red, but amidst the blood-like hue, a hint of green glinted. The main component of this planet ring was ice, with so compounds of iron, the prevalent red trivalent iron, and a small amount of green divalent iron coloring it. Light refracted through the ring like water flowing in a riverbed. Even without direct starlight, it shone brighter than the sky.
It was like a river of light coursing through the sky.
The landing spot he chose was so distance from the twilight line, with the sun already westward. The blood-red Sun, which had beco a Red Giant, occupied nearly half of the sky, a small segnt of it overlapping with the star ring as if the ring itself was ablaze. The blood-red fire illuminated half of the sky.
"The beauty of Creation and Divine," Mai Siwei marveled, awed by the natural force of Creation.
Suddenly, he sensed sothing strange.
An indescribable feeling. It was sothing that transcended the language of the Human Clan. The principle of All Laws Return to One could depict light, electricity, and magnetism through the Heavenly Elent Formation but could not imdiately articulate that peculiar sensation. It was as if random noise, static, had suddenly intruded his mind and thoughts, and the source was unknown.
The Heavenly Song Qi Gang automatically protected his body. In a flash of electric light, Mai Siwei's Mana quickly changed its frequency, instantly covering the mysterious signal. Mai Siwei took a deep breath: "Little Liu, there's a problem. I've been attacked."
"Attacked? That's impossible!" Liu Yuxi was shocked, "The scanning Magic Artifact has made a full circuit of the planet. There's simply no special intrinsic High Spirit Power Field here!"
A special intrinsic High Spirit Power Field is the hallmark of a high-order individual. Here, special intrinsic refers to Mana with characteristics strongly indicative of an individual. It's an inevitable attribute of powerful beings.
"Maybe they're very good at hiding," Mai Siwei's eyes had changed. Now, he was no longer a Starsea Traveler admiring the beauty of Creation, but rather—Peak Carefree, All Laws Return to One!
In a flash of lightning, Mai Siwei descended below the clouds. The seawater of this planet was deeper than Shenzhou's, a dark indigo blue. These clouds seed to be brewing a storm, and Mai Siwei vaguely sensed an unimaginable vast electrical Spirit Power fernting and converging within them, a terrifying force beyond the imaginations of Shenzhou Cultivators.
