"Master!"
Mei Xiaoyao spoke first, her tone carrying a hint of boasting, "How badly did I destroy the formation? Was it enough for you to get in?"
Her ability to disrupt the formations of the Myriad Saints Ancient Star is, to some extent, similar to Ning Chuan's.
It has nothing to do with violent destruction.
Ning Chuan relies on the profound artistic conception of the Great Dao.
She is naturally able to counter formations due to the unique nature of her cultivation system.
However, precisely because of this, compared to Ning Chuan, she couldn't determine the exact extent of the erosion formation and needed to verify it with Zhao Qinglian.
"No!"
Zhao Qinglian's answer was brief and clear, "Thirteen hours ago, Marquis Luanyou's infiltration failed, and he was killed on the spot. Although he only had the combat strength of Marquis-Bestowing, he was very good at stealth, and his level in this aspect was no weaker than some newly entered King-Bestowing- Demigod."
"Tsk tsk!"
Mei Xiaoyao seemed quite moved, saying, "Master, you've forced them to their deaths again. Your sins are too heavy!"
"If he wants to leave, no one will stop him. For a group of King and Marquis and nobles nearing their end, the treasury of the All Saints Manor is a good opportunity for them to gamble, with a success rate at least higher than the desolate borderlands of the Universe." Zhao Qinglian said in a cold tone, "Otherwise, they can only gradually become indifferent to death amidst fear."
The process of Demigod living until wanting to die is a gradual one.
The initial stage is the most difficult. Although they clearly want to advance to the level of True God and yearn for immortality, the thought that "it would be good if my lifespan ended here" will occasionally pop into their minds. Under this contrast, many Demigod will feel extremely tormented.
"No wonder so many demons have infiltrated, risking their lives to find a suitable path!"
Ning Chuan seemed lost in thought.
Mei Xiaoyao then said, "Master, why don't we slip away?"
That's really dangerous.
I also want to meet that young King and Marquis from Martial Star and deepen my relationship with him.
It seems he's unwilling to use my corpse to grow flowers, even if I give him a tip!
Mei Xiaoyao was filled with regret.
Zhao Qinglian, familiar with her disciple's personality, ignored her impulsiveness and said, "We can't give up. I need enough Heavenly Fate Origin Qi to shield myself from the Heavenly Secrets. If we miss this opportunity, we can only start with the Central Treasury of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom's Imperial Palace, which is even more dangerous."
She paused, then added, "You possess a disguised treasure I obtained from the depths of the Universe wilderness, coupled with ancient cultivation methods. Even True God would find it difficult to discern your true nature without repeated examination..."
"Master, really!"
Mei Xiaoyao interrupted, displeased, "When have I ever been afraid of dying? Xiaoyao 'm just worried that if you die in the All Saints Manor, even your ashes will be scattered!"
Zhao Qinglian: "..."
Her good apprentice always manages to give her a different kind of surprise.
Composing herself, Zhao Qinglian thought for a moment and instructed, "Continue to destroy the formations on the Myriad Saints Ancient Star. All five treasure vaults of the All Saints Manor are located on this Gu Xing. I will arrange for a King and Marquis to attempt to infiltrate again in half a month."
"So urgent?!"
Mei Xiaoyao became serious.
Zhao Qinglian's expression remained unchanged as she said, " Yin Zhu suffered a severe blow on Martial Star because of Ning Chuan. Now, the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom is being coveted by many other Divine Kingdom, making it an unstable time. Yin Zhu's avatar needs to patrol the borders. Once he recovers, sending an avatar to oversee the All Saints Manor will make it difficult for me to have any opportunities!"
Mei Xiaoyao said earnestly, "I will accelerate the erosion of the formation. During the day, I caused a scene in front of Yin Wuzhou. For the next month and a half, I can use the excuse of going into seclusion to continuously destroy the formation!"
She has a free-spirited personality, but she can also distinguish between what's important and what's not, so it won't affect important matters.
Zhao Qinglian nodded and instructed, "The key is to keep your identity hidden. Once it's exposed, I won't be able to save you..."
"Master, do you secretly have feelings for me?"
"..."
After a brief silence, Zhao Qinglian ended the conversation.
Mei Xiaoyao opened her eyes, her face expressionless, but a hint of joy lingered deep within them.
She unleashed her offensive techniques, continuing to erode the formation.
Unbeknownst to Mei Xiaoyao, a figure silently departed from the nearby void, and immediately afterward, the rate of destruction of the Myriad Saints Ancient Star Formation suddenly increased!
"Let this war... ignite in just two weeks!"
Upon returning to his residence, Ning Chuan was enveloped in a deep black mist that surged into the void, invading the foundation of the array formation on the Myriad Saints Ancient Star.
Time flew by.
Seven days after Yin Xuan left, he returned to the All Saints Manor, but unfortunately he still hadn't retrieved the artifacts he brought back from the Underworld.
Ning Chuan had no idea what it was.
However, Ning Chuan didn't dwell on it too much. He acted according to the original plan, eroding the formation, altering the trajectory of fate, and gradually making arrangements to seize the essence of the God King.
Besides this, he didn't forget the important matter of leaving Martial Star and kept trying to find out information about the Origin of the Great Dao.
With the help of many high-ranking members of the Yin Family in the All Saints Manor, they reaped considerable benefits.
Ning Chuan was now certain that the various Origin of the Great Dao left behind by Yin Star were all in the central treasury of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom's Imperial Palace.
But this is not good news.
Yin Zhu stayed in the palace to heal his wounds, possibly with an avatar protecting him.
Although the imperial palace was vast, even larger than the star system where the All Saints Manor was located, with the power of a top-tier True God, the entire palace was probably within the attack range of Yin Zhu.
"Don't panic," Ning Chuan said calmly. "Let's get into the palace first."
Ning Chuan has decided that after obtaining the God King's essence blood, he will consume it immediately and then head to the royal palace of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom to make further plans.
As for how to get there, it wasn't difficult for him.
In the great battle where the demons of the Universe Blacklist invaded the All Saints Manor, it would be incredibly simple for the Black Heaven Demonic Ape to die without attracting any attention.
Then, they would assume a completely new identity, such as a direct descendant of the Yin Family, and head to the imperial palace.
Alternatively, one could retain the identity of the Black Heaven Demonic Ape, injure Yin Wuzhou, and then, by altering fate, send Yin Wuzhou back to the palace to heal, taking him with them.
Ning Chuan hasn't decided on the specifics yet; it depends on the future direction of the All Saints Manor.
Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
The spring sunshine was exceptionally warm, bright and radiant, carrying an inner heat.
Ning Chuan stayed at his residence to cultivate. Because of his identity as a member of the Martial Star, Yin Wuzhou wanted him to become stronger faster and advance to the Upper Three Realms, so he did not assign him any duty tasks.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Ning Chuan raised his eyes and gazed at the edge of the star system where the All Saints Manor was located.
There, a massive cargo ship, laden with resources, entered his detection range and headed straight for a port on the Myriad Saints Ancient Star Wansheng, following a predetermined route.
"The great battle must begin!"
Ning Chuan's investigative abilities clearly detected that in a secluded corner of a warehouse carried by the cargo spaceship, a Demigod was hiding, his eyes filled with tension.
