Target: The Demon Heaven Sect's Divine Source Mining Zone!

Outside the lounge, after Chen Lie left, Yuan Bao'er's face instantly turned cold.

She frowned slightly, looking at Mo Yun and asked, "Where exactly did you provoke this powerful enemy?"

Knowing this person is so powerful, why did you send me to rescue him? Are you trying to drag me down with you and make me die with you?

"Senior Sister Yuan, we really didn't provoke him. This person came to our door on his own initiative!"

Several Martial Artist with Middle Divine Aperture and Blood cultivation levels beside Mo Yun spoke.

"Do you know anything about this person's background?" Yuan Bao'er asked.

Mo Yun said in a deep voice, "Based on my guess, he is from the Sword God Academy Sword God Star in the Sword Swordfall Star Domain."

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

"Clearly, his strength is among the top in the Upper Divine Aperture realm, and he is also proficient in this secret technique of binding one's Life-and-Death Tribulation. In the Three Faction Starfields, it is likely that only the people of the Sword God Academy can do this, because they have a lineage in the Central Galactic Empire and can learn various methods from the Central Galactic Empire."

"Foolish! Based on this alone, you guess that this person is from Sword God Star? Swordfall Star Domain is an outsider who entered the Ancient Star Secret Realm without any legitimate reason."

"They promised to occupy a maximum of three divine veins, and they occupied the three best divine veins as soon as they entered. How could they possibly resort to such underhanded tactics?" Yuan Bao'er snorted coldly.

"Could this Wang Hui be from the Canglan Star Domain?" Mo Yun asked.

"Why bother with all that? We're at their mercy now, forced to be subservient. There's no order on this Divine Source Ancient Star. Anyone stronger than you can kill you without any reason."

If you don't know how to humble yourself and admit defeat, you'll die in vain!

Flattery and ingratiation, though offensive, might sway others into taking pity on you and letting you off the hook. Once you're out of the secret realm, who will know?

I advise you not to put on that bitter, resentful act anymore, lest you displease Wang Hui. Killing you would be as easy as lifting a finger. If you try to please him, you might have a chance of survival."

Mo Yun and the other Ultimate Intent Sect, all of whom were at the Middle Divine Aperture, all wore somber expressions.

"And another question, can this confinement he placed really control a person's life and death?" Yuan Bao'er asked again.

"It's probably possible; I've experienced it once," Mo Yun said.

"This is troublesome..."

Yuan Bao'er looked sullen. It seemed she still had to flatter and fawn over him. If she didn't leave a good impression on Wang Hui, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't take the initiative to help her break free from the shackles of the Life-and-Death Tribulation tribulation when he left.

She certainly believed that the elders of the sect had the ability to break the Life-and-Death Tribulation, but Wang Hui had said that the confinement would be automatically triggered if she left him a thousand meters away. Although she didn't know if he was just making things up, she didn't dare to risk her life. Whether she could live to see the elders of the sect was still unknown.

The hazy mist in the sky above the Divine Source Ancient Star gradually dissipated, signifying that dawn was breaking.

Chen Lie also stopped cultivating. The 700,000 jin of medium-quality Divine Source allowed Chen Lie to perfectly cultivate his Lower Divine Aperture and rebuild his primordial Primordial Spirit Aperture. He even cultivated one-third of the Middle Divine Aperture that he had just broken through to.

Under the introspection of his divine sense, Chen Lie saw that his three Divine Aperture, the Primordial Spirit Aperture and the Lower Divine Aperture, were full of divine power and had been cultivated to the perfect level, while the Middle Divine Aperture was still in a semi-full state.

However, now that he has opened the Middle Divine Aperture, Chen Lie's strength has greatly increased, and on this Divine Source Ancient Star, there are fewer opponents whose strength can rival his.

When Chen Lie came out, he saw that all the members of the Ultimate Intent Sect had gathered here.

Upon seeing Chen Lie's arrival, the members of the Ultimate Intent Sect on the top floor all surrounded him.

Yuan Bao'er stepped forward and said to everyone, "Brother Wang Hui, you're out?"

Chen Lie hummed in agreement and said, "You said yesterday that the Divine Source Divine Source produced in the No. 100 Divine Source Mining Zone are all of perfect quality. Now take me there!"

"Alright, but Brother Wang Hui, the Divine Source Ore Veins in the core area of Ancient Star from number 100 to 130 is occupied by top geniuses from the Three Faction Starfields. Perhaps you could conceal your name for a moment? How about we call you the Helmsman?"

"Casual!"

Yuan Bao'er knew that the name Wang Hui was definitely fake. This person wouldn't even show his face, so how could his name be real?

But now she was under Chen Lie's control, and if she didn't show more loyalty, he would rob her and run away, leaving her with her life.

"Captain, I just did some research for you. The core area of the divine veins in the center of the Ancient Star is not to be trifled with."

There are powerful figures from the Black Cloud Star Domain, Heavenly Intent Planet, and Wildland Planet, as well as powerful figures from the Canglan Star Domain, Heavenly Underworld Planet, Blood God Planet. Not to mention the Jianlin Swordfall Star Domain, whose members from the Sword God Star Sword God Academy Star are all powerful and no one can afford to offend them.

I've chosen two easy targets for you. First, the people of Canglan Star Domain and Canglong Star. Although they are not weak, they don't have many top-tier individuals, and those top-tier individuals are unlikely to be stronger than you. They occupy the 105th and 106th Divine Source Ore Veins Zones.

The second is the 102nd and 103rd Divine Source Ore Veins Zones, occupied by the Demon Heaven Sect, the leading sect among the four major Chong Star the Black Cloud Star Domain.

Both of them are relatively easy targets, especially the Demon Heaven Sect. I know them very well. The leader of the Demon Heaven Sect this time is named Yun Youyou. She is also at the Upper Divine Aperture. In terms of strength, she is not much stronger than me. However, Yun Youyou has Extraordinary Bloodline. With the blessing of the bloodline power, I cannot defeat her.

But with your strong leadership, you shouldn't be afraid of her!

"Are you planning to seize Canglong Star in the Canglan Star Domain, or Chong Star in the Black Cloud Star Domain?"

Chen Lie said, "Since you are quite familiar with the Demon Heaven Sect of Chong Star, then choose the Demon Heaven Sect!"

"Good helmsmanship, but the strength of this Demon Heaven Sect should not be underestimated. There are as many as seven or eight Qi and Blood Martial Artist at the Upper Divine Aperture level among them."

When it's time to act, why don't you temporarily release the restraints on me and Mo Yun? That way, we can better serve you and help you hold off a few opponents at the Upper Divine Aperture.

"No need, you can just stand aside and watch, you don't need to do anything!" Chen Lie waved his hand and said.

"Oh well!"

Yuan Bao'er had long anticipated that Chen Lie wouldn't easily lift their restraints; she had only mentioned it casually.

"Lead the way, let's go to the Divine Source Ore Veins area occupied by the Demon Heaven Sect," Chen Liedao.

"OK!"

Yuan Bao'er gave Mo Yun a wink and summoned the members of the Middle Divine Aperture and Lower Divine Aperture Sect of the Ultimate Intent Sect. A group of about seventy people prepared to set off.

"Wait!"

Chen Lie suddenly stopped everyone.

"What's wrong, helmsman?"

Chen Lie glanced back at the other members of the Ultimate Intent Sect and said, "Have these people follow too!"

"Isn't that unnecessary? The Demon Heaven Sect is the strongest in Chong Star. Many of its members and experts have come to the Ancient Star Secret Realm this time. Some Origin Aperture Stage Martial Artist can't play any role at all; they'd just be cannon fodder."

"With so many of us, we can create enough chaos to give you time to seize the Divine Source," Yuan Bao'er said.

"I don't want you to go to the battlefield, I'm just giving you a different place to mine!"

"Move to another place to mine? Could it be... that you want to take the 102nd and 103rd core Divine Source Ore Veins from the Demon Heaven Sect?" Yuan Bao'er was taken aback.

"I want these people to mine with me, so I can keep you company."

"You're from the same star, you should have a lot in common."

"Oh, this..."

Yuan Bao'er stared at Chen Lie in shock. He actually wanted to enslave the people of the Demon Heaven Sect to mine for him? That was insane!

The Demon Heaven Sect is the strongest force in Chong Star, representing Chong Star externally. Within the Black Cloud Star Domain, Chong Star is roughly equivalent to Canglong Star in the Canglan Star Domain, but Chong Star's strength far surpasses that of Canglong Star. Isn't he incredibly audacious?

However, after the initial shock, Yuan Bao'er was filled with joy. She and Yun Youyou of the Demon Heaven Sect were not on good terms. Yun Youyou always suppressed her by relying on her bloodline power. She had disliked Yun Youyou for a long time. Now that Chen Lie wanted to deal with Yun Youyou, she naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

"Steward! Your vision is too grand; I'm having trouble keeping up."

However, your idea certainly has great potential.

Yun Youyou is the granddaughter of the Demon Heaven Sect Master. If you can take her hostage and place a restraint on her as well, the other powerful members of the Demon Heaven Sect will definitely hesitate to act against her.

"At that time, you can use Yun Youyou to blackmail them. Even if you order them to mine for you day and night in two shifts, they won't dare to disobey!"

Yuan Bao'er confidently stated that she actually hoped Chen Lie could place more restrictions on people from major powers. This way, Chen Lie would have to remove them one by one before leaving, otherwise he would offend too many people. If a sufficient number of geniuses nurtured by top powers died at his hands, which of these powers would let it go?

They could search every corner of the Ancient Star Ruins and still find Chen Lie.

"Okay, let's take stock of the total number of people first, and then set off immediately for the center of the Ancient Star," Chen Liedao.

"Yes!"

After Yuan Bao'er responded, she immediately instructed several foremen at the Middle Divine Aperture stage to count the number of people.

They were all members of the Ultimate Intent Sect, so naturally they knew their own affairs. After going through the formalities, they quickly tallied the number of people present. The entire Ultimate Intent Sect, including Yuan Bao'er and Mo Yun, had a total of 371 people. Among them, there were 53 people with the Lower Divine Aperture level, 16 people with the Middle Divine Aperture, and only Yuan Bao'er with the Upper Divine Aperture.

However, Mo Yun possesses Extraordinary Bloodline; although he is only at the Middle Divine Aperture, he is stronger than most Upper Divine Aperture.

After determining the total number of people, Chen Lie ordered the more than 300 members of the Ultimate Intent Sect to proceed together to the core area of Divine Source Ore Veins in the center of the Ancient Star.

"Steward, the center of the Ancient Star Ruins is more than two thousand miles away from here. There are no means of transportation on this Ancient Star, so we can only go there on foot," Yuan Bao'er said.

"So you also came on foot?" Chen Lie asked, frowning.

"Of course not. Although this Divine Source Ancient Star is not small, the area that produces Divine Source is only this small. When the three major star regions designed the space jump points, they set up a Space Wormhole about every two or three hundred miles."

When we are on a mission, we can enter and exit through the nearest Space Wormhole, and then enter through another Space Wormhole on our home planet, which will allow us to directly reach the place we want to go.

Given the current situation, the only option is to proceed on foot...

Chen Lie wasn't stupid; he naturally wouldn't use the Space Wormhole in the Black Cloud Star Domain. If he arrived at Chong Star, the people from the Ultimate Intent Sect would likely detain him immediately. Therefore, he said, "Two thousand miles isn't far. Order everyone to proceed at full speed and reach the core divine vein area within a day. Anyone who dares to slow us down will be executed immediately!"

At Chen Lie's command, all the members of the Ultimate Intent Sect shuddered and then ran forward.

Martial Artist have reached the Heaven Aperture Stage possess physical strength far exceeding that of ordinary people. Their short-term rapid advances can be described as lightning-fast, but this is an explosive burst, and many cannot sustain it for long periods. To run at a constant speed over long distances, they can only maintain a speed of 100 meters per second for a maximum of two or three seconds, which is equivalent to a speed of 120 to 180 km/h. On Blue Star a hundred years ago, this speed would be considered speeding on a highway.

At this speed, we should be able to cover the more than 2,000 li (approximately 1,000 kilometers) in ten hours.

Because of Chen Lie's order to "execute anyone who drags you down immediately," none of the more than three hundred members of the Ultimate Intent Sect dared to fall behind. They all ran together, creating a magnificent scene. The sound of their footsteps shook the surrounding area, as if they were a commando unit of several hundred people.

The group advanced straight towards the core area of Divine Source Ore Veins. Those who occupied the Divine Source Ore Veins area were secretly alarmed when they saw this group of people running so fast.

"So many people, and so many experts at the Divine Aperture Stage, could they be here to seize the Divine Source Ore Veins we've occupied?"

"It shouldn't be like that. With so many experts at the Middle Divine Aperture stage, and hundreds at the Origin Aperture Stage, all so eager for battle, taking over this Divine Source Ore Veins would be too easy. It would be a huge waste of their talent..."

"If they really want to seize it, we can't hold it!"

"Look! They've run past. It seems they're not here to seize our Divine Source Ore Veins!"

"That's strange, did these people plan to exercise together?"

When they passed through the Divine Source Ore Veins area occupied by Starry Sky University No. 13, the leaders of Starry Sky University, Hua Yunduan, Huangfu Lingge, Wenren Qingyue and others all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Aren't these the aliens who invaded our region a few days ago? So there were so many of them!"

"Could this be a second invasion? I see there are more than ten Middle Divine Aperture them. How are we supposed to defend ourselves?"

"Hey? No, look! They've run past!"

Seeing the hundreds of enemies who had invaded the outer star field of Starry Sky University running past at a steady pace, the leaders of Starry Sky University immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If so many people were to invade, they would have no choice but to retreat and relinquish this Divine Source Ore Veins area. With their strength, they simply could not withstand these people.

Under Chen Lie's leadership, more than 300 members of the Ultimate Intent Sect continued to advance towards the core area of Divine Source at an average speed of about 150 km/h, passing through dozens of Divine Source Ore Veins veins along the way, without any rest.

After running for about eight hours, we finally arrived at the Divine Source Ore Veins Zone in the core of the Ancient Star.

There's no time to lose. Chen Lie only has one month left, and it's already the fourth day. Not only is his Storage Pouch empty, but he hasn't even perfected his Divine Aperture cultivation yet. You have to understand, mining also takes time.

"Steward, this is the center of the Ancient Star. Just twenty or thirty miles ahead are the No. 102 and No. 103 Divine Source Ore Veins Zones, which have been occupied by the Demon Heaven Sect!"

"Everyone has been running for so long and is exhausted. Can we rest here for a while and have some martial arts food?" Yuan Bao'er asked.

"Let's go eat!"

Chen Lie waved his hand.

Only after receiving Chen Lie's permission did the more than three hundred members of the Ultimate Intent Sect dare to stop, rest, and eat.

The Divine Source Ancient Star was barren and naturally had no food; all the food for everyone came from this planet.

During the break, Chen Lie asked Yuan Bao'er how the core area of Ancient Star's divine veins was demarcated, and drew a conclusion.

Thirty divine veins capable of producing perfect-quality Divine Source were divided up among the top powers of the Three Faction Starfields.

Sword God Star in the Swordfall Star Domain occupies the three best and most core Divine Source Ore Veins, while Heavenly Intent Planet and Wildland Planet in the Black Cloud Star Domain Starfield occupy six and five Divine Source Ore Veins respectively.

The Heavenly Underworld Planet and Blood God Planet in the Canglan Star Domain occupy six and four Divine Source Ore Veins, respectively.

In addition, Canglong Star occupied two Divine Source Ore Veins, Chong Star Demon Heaven Sect occupied two Divine Source Ore Veins, and the last two Divine Source Ore Veins were jointly occupied by the other powerful stars of Black Cloud Star Domain and Canglan Star Domain.

All things considered, the easiest targets to manipulate are indeed the Demon Heaven Sect of Canglong Star and Chong Star.

However, Chen Lie was in no hurry. He would wait until he had conquered one side and broken through to the Upper Divine Aperture before considering other things.

If he can fill the Storage Pouch by then, Chen Lie won't bother to cause trouble for the Three Faction Starfields. But if these people have conflicts of interest with him, then there's nothing he can do.

Upon hearing Yuan Bao'er's analysis, Chen Lie concluded that Canglong Star was actually the easiest to control, because the 100th and 101st Divine Source Ore Veins Zones were occupied by an alliance of more than ten planets. The Ten-Star Alliance Planets of the Canglan Star Domain should be among them, and the number of people guarding them is considerable.

However, he was, after all, a student of Canglong Starry Sky University, and he came from Canglong Star. If he were to plot against Canglong Star again, it would be too unrighteous. Therefore, Chen Lie turned his attention to the No. 102 and No. 103 Divine Source Ore Veins Zones, which had been occupied by the Demon Heaven Sect.

After letting everyone rest for an hour or so, Chen Lie began to urge them on, asking Yuan Bao'er to lead him to the location of the Demon Heaven Sect.

Soon, Chen Lie arrived at the entrance to the No. 102 Divine Source Ore Veins.

"Steward, shall we attack directly? Or should we launch a surprise attack first?" Yuan Bao'er asked.

"No need. Leave all the strong laborers in the Origin Aperture Stage outside. Those above the Divine Aperture Stage, come in with me and challenge them!" Chen Liedao.

"Clear!"

Yuan Bao'er waved her hand, leaving most of the Origin Aperture Stage Ultimate Intent Sect members outside.

Chen Lie led the way, entering the Divine Source Ore Veins area alone.

They hadn't gone far when a patrol team blocked their path.

"This is the territory of the Demon Heaven Sect. Which mining area are you from? Who gave you permission to trespass?"

The leader of the patrol team approached and, upon seeing the attire of the Ultimate Intent Sect, asked, "So you are from the Ultimate Intent Sect. What brings you here?"

"For the sake of us being from the four major sects of Chong Star, I'll give you a piece of advice: get lost, and then call Yun Youyou out. We're here to seize the Divine Source Ore Veins!" Yuan Bao'er said from behind.

"Seize the Divine Source Ore Veins? With just your small force?"

The leader of the patrol team was also a Qi and Blood Martial Artist at the Middle Divine Aperture, so he naturally had no fear of these people from the Ultimate Intent Sect.

But upon closer inspection, he was suddenly startled. These people all seemed to be at the Divine Aperture Stage, and the one speaking was none other than Yuan Bao'er, the outer sect senior sister of the Ultimate Intent Sect, known for her ruthlessness.
