First Arrival!
The Starsea Realm.
Above is the starry sky.
It encompasses seven continents and four oceans.
This day.
Located in the 'Divine Ruins Sea', one of the four oceans, Lu Qingfeng, supporting the Earthly God-Seeking Great General, transformed into a beam of light and landed on an island, disappearing into the deep mountains.
Nameless island.
Nameless.
"Thank you so much Spirit-Capturing Great General, for saving me!"
The Earthly God-Seeking Great General stood firm and hurriedly bowed to Lu Qingfeng.
"General, you're too kind."
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand and said.
He looked at the Earthly God-Seeking Great General before him.
The dignified Earth Immortal, a top-tier divine general, was now pale and listless, clearly having suffered an unimaginable blow.
He couldn't help but worry: "General's injuries—"
Having both fallen into exile in the Starsea Realm, they are natural allies, and will inevitably have to help each other in the future. However, judging from the appearance of the Earthly God-Seeking Great General, he will probably not be able to recover in a short time.
The other two divine generals are probably in no better shape.
Really.
The Earthly God-Seeking Great General smiled bitterly and said, "The formation was fierce. If it weren't for borrowing the power of the small world, I'm afraid I would have been in grave danger. I was only saved by the general's rescue. But it will take at least tens of thousands of years to recover."
That was dangerous.
To resist the Stellar Formation, he not only unleashed the 'Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks', a treasure he had refined for many years, to set up multiple arrays, but also mobilized the power of the Blessed Land he had cultivated for many years.
The blessing of a small world.
In addition, he was quite skilled in formations.
That's how they barely managed to block one attack.
However, with a single blow, not only did the 'Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks' collapse, but its own Blessed Land was also severely damaged and disintegrated, leaving only a trace of its original essence remaining.
He was severely injured.
There was no way to resist anymore.
Faced with the Star Banner chasing after them from the sky, escape was truly impossible.
They had already given up hope, but unexpectedly someone was willing to risk their life to rescue them.
However, his injuries were no less severe than those inflicted upon Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun by the Heaven's Retribution Asura. One was Celestial Immortal deity, and the other an Earth Immortal general; once their foundations were severely damaged, recovery was extremely difficult.
The Earthly God-Seeking Great General was grateful, but his own injuries were severe, and he could not help the Spirit-Capturing Great General in front of him in a short time, which made him feel quite ashamed.
"It's that serious?!"
Lu Qingfeng feigned surprise, his face serious, and said, "In that case, General, you should heal your wounds as soon as possible and not delay. As for the current situation, think about the great formation in the sky; it's not something we can handle. It's best to wait for the two marshals to come to our rescue, lest we lose our lives in vain."
In his words.
It is full of concern and sincerity.
Upon hearing this, the Earthly God-Seeking Great General nodded, "I am truly ashamed. But this is the only way for now."
Having cultivated to his level, he clearly didn't want to gamble with his own life.
Seeing that this Spirit-Capturing Great General also had the idea of lying low and waiting for reinforcements, he immediately felt reassured.
This idea.
It's much better than risking your life yourself, or even asking him to go with you, all for the sake of making a name for yourself!
A life-saving grace.
We are both fallen from grace.
In addition, he had previously caused Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun to suffer a setback.
The three sects combined into one, which made the Earthly God-Seeking Great General a very good impression of Lu Qingfeng.
Reaching into his robes, he retrieved a scroll of proclamations and handed it to Lu Qingfeng, saying, "This is the 'Starsea Investiture of the Gods,' containing the names of all the gods in the Starsea Realm. With this proclamation, you may search, dismiss, or bestow titles upon any registered god in the Starsea Realm."
"The Starsea Investiture of the Gods".
Lu Qingfeng took the notice and looked at the Earthly God-Seeking Great General, "This is—"
"This was bestowed by the Marshal."
"The original intention was for me to hold this proclamation and assist Flame God Great General and Eastern God-Seeking General in finding the location of the gods within the Stellar Formation. Afterwards, I was to stabilize the Star Sea Divine Path. Those who betrayed the cause would be severely punished, and those who were absent would be investigated and filled."
Seeing the puzzled look on Lu Qingfeng's face, the Earthly God-Seeking Great General took the initiative to explain.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng...
It became clear immediately.
This is a lucrative job.
With this proclamation in hand, the general will investigate the gods of the Star Sea and wield the power of life and death over them. These Star Sea deities, if they wish to remain at peace, will inevitably have to prepare a grand gift for the Earthly God-Seeking Great General.
They're sure to make a fortune.
Moreover, the positions of the Star Sea Gods are inevitably vacant, and can be filled by trusted confidants and subordinates.
Firstly, it provides a stable home for some True Immortal whose lifespans have run out and who are unwilling to reincarnate; secondly, it can be considered as planting a seed in the Starsea Realm, so that in the future, with the help of these deities who came from his lineage, the establishment of a new lineage can be better developed.
"This is probably an early incentive given by the two marshals to their adventurous generals."
Lu Qingfeng thought of Flame God Great General's 'Thunder God Whip'.
This whip is in my hand.
The subsequent handling of the Starsea Realm will undoubtedly bring considerable benefits.
The Earthly God-Seeking Great General was proficient in formations, which is why he gained the advantage.
"Pity."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
Unfortunately, who could have imagined that the battle in the Star Sea, which seemed a sure thing, would turn out to be so unexpectedly disrupted?
"I am now seriously injured and I am afraid I cannot guarantee the Zhou Quan the proclamation."
"Please keep this safe for me, fellow Daoist."
The Earthly God-Seeking Great General said to Lu Qingfeng.
"Don't worry, General."
"There will certainly be no loss."
Lu Qingfeng knew the thoughts of the Earthly God-Seeking Great General, so he did not refuse and solemnly accepted it.
The Earthly God-Seeking Great General breathed a sigh of relief.
He then said, "My injuries cannot be delayed any longer, so I will go find a place to heal. If you have any urgent business, Brother Dao, you can crush this Jade Slip, and I will definitely come!"
He then handed another Jade Slip to Lu Qingfeng.
"General, please rest assured and recover from your injuries."
Lu Qingfeng accepted the Jade Slip and said.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was unethical, he was quite satisfied with the fact that the Earthly God-Seeking Great General, and even the two other divine generals, were seriously injured.
With all three top-tier Earth Immortal severely injured, the celestial Star Dipper Formation was no longer disturbed.
As long as the exile to the Star Sea is unimpeded.
The Immortal Qin Realm will be within reach sooner or later.
"But."
"Besides the three divine generals, we also need to understand the current situation in the Starsea Realm as soon as possible—if there are Immortal Dao experts or demon experts who have not yet submitted to the Immortal Qin, it is also a hidden danger."
"We also need to find a way to confirm whether the end point of the Starsea Realm's exile is indeed the location of the Immortal Qin Realm!"
If.
Everyone was happy.
If not.
"We still need to make several contingency plans."
In matters concerning the Immortal Qin Realm, Lu Qingfeng absolutely cannot afford any mistakes.
They watched as the Earthly God-Seeking Great General departed.
After sorting things out, Lu Qingfeng also made it out of the deserted island and mountains.
The Starsea Realm.
Legend has it that this realm was once a place in the ancient Primordial World.
Long before the Investiture of the Gods, it was shattered by the war between the Lich King and the demon king, and the struggle between the immortals, and was thus separated from the Primordial World land. From then on, it wandered in the void, gradually forming the Starsea Realm.
In the four oceans.
The Buried Immortals Ocean to the west is said to be the burial place of many High Antiquity immortals. The Divine Ruins Sea to the east is the site of the fall of ancient demon gods, known as the 'Land of Ancient Gods' Return to Ruin'. There are even rumors that some have encountered High Antiquity Immortal Artifact in the Buried Immortals Ocean and the bodies of ancient gods in the Divine Ruins Sea.
Rumors are hard to believe.
This adds a lot of mystery to the two oceans.
This day.
In the Divine Ruins Sea, numerous cultivators moved like clouds, converging on various destinations.
Lu Qingfeng was mixed in with them.
Looking at the two cultivators not far away, I thought, "They are cultivators who cultivate the Nature-Life Dao."
Since leaving the Immortal Qin Realm, this was the first time he had seen so many Nature Cultivation and Destiny Cultivation. In a daze, it seemed as if he had returned to the Immortal Qin Realm, back to when he first embarked on the Nature-Life Dao.
For a moment, I was overwhelmed with unspeakable thoughts.
These past few days.
He traveled among the many islands of the Divine Ruins Sea, gathering intelligence from the middle and lower classes.
What one sees is that in the Divine Ruins Sea, the number of cultivators and monsters practicing the Nature-Life Dao is no less than that of cultivators practicing the orthodox immortal Immortal Dao.
It can be described as 'widespread'.
"The advantage of the Nature-Life Dao lies in its rapid progress in the early and middle stages, allowing one to achieve something in a short period of time."
"But in the end, very few people can cultivate to the Fourth Realm or Fifth Realm."
Those who can become Earth Immortal.
Even back in the Immortal Qin Realm, this had never happened before. In fact, Lu Qingfeng knew in the Immortal Qin Realm that there was no path to cultivate the Dao of Life and Death to the sixth realm, the Earth Immortal level.
Therefore.
Whether it's the Immortal Qin Realm or the Starsea Realm.
Many orthodox immortal sects, and most cultivators with lofty ambitions, are unlikely to be impatient for quick success and ruin their future.
But for Rogue Cultivator without background or resources, and for those demons who were enlightened in the mountains and embarked on the path of cultivation with nothing, there's not much to consider.
The Nature-Life Dao is relatively simple.
Its early growth was extremely rapid.
Even if their combat strength is not as good as that of orthodox cultivators, and even if their future prospects are not as good as those of Immortal Dao cultivators, it is still a broad and promising path for them.
Those with a long-term vision are ultimately in the minority.
Most people are only concerned with what's in front of them.
Perhaps for one reason or another, they can only look after the present.
For example, the two cultivators of the Fate Dao that Lu Qingfeng was observing.
At first glance, you can tell he's not a powerful, influential, or talented person.
Thinking about it.
Lu Qingfeng listened to the two talking again.
The square-faced man with a buzz cut was hurrying along while looking around.
Seeing that no one was around, he whispered, "Brother, I heard that the Immortal Qin rose to power very quickly. The Green Pine Abbey was originally a major sect in the Peaceful Plains Continent, but in a short time it was defeated by the Immortal Qin and had to abandon its mountain gate and retreat all the way to the Divine Ruins Sea, which is how it barely survived."
However, the sect's strength has long been greatly diminished; it's said that even immortals who Changsheng have perished. Moreover, these top immortal sects have always looked down on Rogue Cultivator like us who cultivate the Nature Dao and the Dao of Fate Dao. Even if we went there, we wouldn't be taken seriously.
Why not join the Immortal Qin? With our cultivation levels, we'd be more than qualified to be captains.
There are many Secret Method for Fate Dao in the Immortal Qin realm, far surpassing those of the Green Pine Abbey. Why chase after something inferior and not aim for something superior?
Chen Zhuang was indeed puzzled.
Judging from the news coming from the west, the rise of the Immortal Qin is unstoppable.
Even a top-tier immortal sect like Green Pine Abbey was beaten so badly that they were powerless to fight back. Instead of seeking refuge with Immortal Qin, they chose to join Green Pine Abbey.
Chen Zhuang simply couldn't understand it.
"You!"
"That's short-sighted!"
Despite his burly appearance, Chen Xiangsheng's large, round eyes gleamed with wisdom as he reprimanded his younger brother in a low voice. "Immortal Qin may seem powerful, but its Immortal Qin is mostly made up of ordinary people. Just because they can take Peaceful Plains Continent doesn't mean they can take the Divine Ruins Sea, with its numerous waterways and intricate islands. We brothers are most familiar with the Divine Ruins Sea. Even if we can join the army in Immortal Qin, we'll be unfamiliar with the place and its people. How much can we achieve there?"
Chen Xiang saw that his younger brother Chen Zhuang was still somewhat Qi Ingestion.
He glanced around and lowered his voice, saying, "Besides, Green Pine Abbey has a powerful background in the Immortal Realm. What does Immortal Qin have?! They only managed to sweep through the Peaceful Plains Continent by surprise. But by the time Green Pine Abbey reacts, Immortal Qin will be no match for them."
Moreover, Immortal Qin even dared to persecute those mountain gods and local deities, who would prosper if they obeyed and perish if they defied.
Hmph!
Do they really think the Heavenly Court is a vegetarian?!
Upon hearing this...
Chen Zhuang was taken aback. "Even the Heavenly Court intervenes in human conflicts?"
He clearly remembered that over the years he had seen several mountain gods and water gods killed by powerful demons, while several powerful demons were still living freely.
"We won't interfere with minor incidents."
"But Immortal Qin has probably really messed things up this time!"
Chen Xiang shook his head and said no more.
