After contacting his family, Liang Ji contacted Peng Yue and the others who were still on the front lines to share the good news of his successful advancement to Seventh-Tier Star Lord.
"Congratulations, Captain!"
"Congratulations, Liang Ji!"
Hearing Liang Ji's news, Peng Yue and the others revealed pleasant expressions, and the sorrow on their faces completely dissipated.
Seeing their expressions and sensing that the atmosphere was somewhat amiss, Liang Ji couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Did something happen while I was in closed-door breakthrough?"
The few looked at each other, and Peng Yue finally stepped forward to speak. "Liang Ji, do you remember that before your closed-door cultivation, Senior Sister Bian and the others were preparing to pioneer another life star system?"
"Of course I remember!" Liang Ji nodded, then slightly frowned as if guessing their situation. "So, the pioneering failed?"
Peng Yue nodded and said, "Not only did the pioneering fail, but the losses were also heavy!"
"Senior Xu Mao even sacrificed his life in this pioneer war."
"Senior Xu Mao has fallen?" Hearing this, Liang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.
Peng Yue nodded, then shook her head. "He didn't completely perish. We've already confirmed it with the Star Alliance. Although Senior Xu Mao's main body has fallen, his natal star is fine. Furthermore, he long ago mastered the Starry Sky Undying star technique, and is currently being reborn within his natal star."
Despite these words, Liang Ji still furrowed his brow and his expression shifted slightly.
For a long time, the Star Alliance's pioneer wars had been extremely dangerous, far more perilous than Star Lords exploring the Outer Domain Star Sea.
Throughout successive pioneer wars, quite a few Star Lord cultivators, immortals, and others had fallen on the pioneer battlefields.
