Swish! Swish!
Outside the light barrier, white mist rose, and the figures of Chu Longye and Mo Lan appeared.
" Ning Chuan!"
Looking at the empty secret realm, Chu Longye called out, "Are you here? Or have you left?"
Although he was Nebula Realm expert, he was restricted by the Ancient Pilgrimage Path and could not investigate.
"I didn't leave."
Ning Chuan waved his hand, dispersing the power of the Void Law, pointed to the communicator on his bracelet, and casually said, "Don't you know my contact information?"
Chu Longye curled his lip and said, "Aren't phone calls free?"
Mo Lan, standing to the side, listened with a helpless expression.
"It was my fault."
Ning Chuan feigned apology, sighed, and said, "I forgot you have loans on your hands. You really need to learn to manage your finances."
In fact, Ning Chuan's statement wasn't entirely a joke.
Through the information sent by Horse Road Mountain, he already knew that it was not uncommon for powerful individuals to take out loans for cultivation in the Universe.
Some of these are rare resources, and they are very expensive.
For example, the Spirit of Law Comprehension the First-Grade Law.
In order to obtain it ahead of time, some powerful individuals are willing to overdraw their future of 100,000 years, or even 1 million years!
After all, the stronger you are, the easier it is to make profits.
Once mastered, it can be repaid in a short time.
In a sense, this is equivalent to gambling.
Of course, if banks are willing to lend, they are not worried about not being able to collect the loans.
There are no deadbeats in the Universe.
Because there are only two types of banks that offer lending services.
Or perhaps it's similar to the Universe First Cultivator Bank, which is itself a powerful force.
Or they are similar to the banks in the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, backed by official forces such as the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom's Military Department and government, with a powerful background.
Unless you die unexpectedly, not repaying your debts is a pipe dream!
Under the Law of the jungle, banks with powerful military forces have no regard for human rights.
"Don't you also owe Horse Road Mountain money?"
Chu Longye irritably.
"That's true."
Ning Chuan smiled, did not argue, and after a moment's thought, said, "Would the Universe First Cultivator Bank, send someone into Martial Star?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Lan glanced at him, seemingly understanding, and tentatively asked, "You want to get a loan from them?"
"Right."
Ning Chuan readily admitted it.
Given his status, it's unrealistic for him to try to contact any of the banks in the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
Mo Lan pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Under normal circumstances, the business of the Universe First Cultivator Bank does not involve remote areas of the Universe."
"However, if you can do something extraordinary in the future era of recovery, perhaps you can attract their attention."
Mo Lan didn't rule it out completely, reminding her, "Your aptitude is that of a peerless genius, with extraordinary potential. The maximum loan amount you could obtain is comparable to that of the Nebula Realm expert!"
The lending standards of major banks across the Universe are largely similar.
It is necessary to examine the borrower's financial strength, talent, background, and other conditions.
"Clear."
Ning Chuan nodded thoughtfully, muttering, "A momentous event..."
"Kid, don't think too far ahead!"
Chu Longye couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "For you, the most urgent thing is to quickly settle the debt owed to Horse Road Mountain. Although I haven't calculated the interest for you, you should at least be aware of the situation and not drag it out for too long!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with some delight, " Dragon Blood Pill and the Sole Self Divine Art have arrived?"
Chu Longye deliberately retorted, "If I hadn't arrived, would I have bothered to come looking for you?"
Ning Chuan shook his head and grinned, "I thought you wanted to experience the fluctuations of the True Realm Law and the Piercing Law. After all, you've mastered advanced versions of two Third-Grade Law; maybe you'll have a flash of inspiration and comprehend them."
Chu Longye: "..."
That's heartbreaking!
Mo Lan chuckled and said, "I'll give it to you now."
"Good."
Ning Chuan nodded, and the two figures in front of him disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the white mist exploded, Flash Thunder, the void collapsed, and all sorts of terrifying scenes appeared.
Horse Road Mountain began transmitting materials.
On the other side.
Discussions about Ning Chuan and the seven powerful Sea Realm continue and are intensifying.
The turmoil is growing increasingly severe.
Multiple Federation agencies are taking action.
Galaxy University.
"I'm going to the North Sea Domain!"
Upon hearing Zi Yun'er's words, Qin Ya immediately took to the air and shot away like lightning, without even having time to comfort her disciple who was filled with tension and worry.
" Qin Ya, wait a minute!"
Ye Qingwu's urgent voice rang out as she quickly dissuaded him, saying, "That Ning Chuan kid is cunning... and incredibly clever. He would never do something so suicidal!"
Qin Ya didn't slow down, coldly saying, "I understand Ning Chuan. Even if he feels he's no match for seven Sea Realm experts, he won't stand idly by when Senior Bai and the Principal are trapped in the North Sea Domain. He'll definitely go to the North Sea Domain to try and rescue them."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu remained silent for a moment before saying, "You've just advanced to the Spring Realm; you wouldn't be of any help even if you went."
Qin Ya gritted her teeth and said, "I can't, but you can. When you forcibly Dual Soul Fusion with mine, you should have been prepared to suffer the consequences!"
"I admit, I secretly accumulated some methods."
Ye Qingwu said helplessly, "However, at most I can unleash the power of the Sea Realm expert, and I can only hold out for a short while. The opponents are genuine Sea Realm experts, and there are seven of them working together!"
"I'm not going to fight them to the death, much less throw my life away."
Qin Ya wasn't afraid of death, but she knew that if she were captured, Ning Chuan would only become more passive.
" Ye Qingwu, you are skilled at concealing your presence. Once we enter the North Sea Domain, hide me. I will contact Ning Chuan through the North Sea Domain's intranet. Once successful, we will act according to his instructions."
"That could be life-threatening!"
"I know."
Qin Ya's eyes were resolute, yet tender, as she said, "Your life, and even my own, are not as important to me as Ning Chuan's life!"
at the same time.
Two figures sped across the sky above Qingshan City.
Lu Zhan led Lu Mengyue northwards.
"Xiaoyue, let's make this clear first: you'll stay on the outskirts of the far north, and I'll go to the North Sea Domain myself."
Lu Zhan said in a deep voice.
"I won't cause any trouble, Dad."
Lu Mengyue nodded, looking worried.
She knew she couldn't be of much help; her trip was simply to find out about Ning Chuan as soon as possible.
As they talked, the two flew over Qingshan No. 1 High School.
The campus was in an uproar, with many students and teachers discussing the matter of Ning Chuan and the powerful figures from the Seven Sea Realm, just like in other places.
Or perhaps it's nervousness.
Or perhaps it was excitement.
Or perhaps it's a concern.
Su Yun did not participate.
She stood Momo by the window, her fair face slightly haggard, gazing at the northern sky, her mind Severing Flash to the most dazzling student she had ever taught.
"Please come back safely!"
The Capital Administrative Region.
Military headquarters.
Figures moved swiftly, silent and subdued, the heavy thud of military boots on the ground revealing a chilling intent.
The news from the North Sea Domain has fully activated this massive war machine!
"Report!"
A colonel strode in, his words concise and to the point, and reported, "Lieutenant General Bai has requested a transfer to the far north."
The person in charge at headquarters was a Heavenly King, who was already extremely anxious. Upon hearing this, he could not contain his anger and roared, "I know the Bai family is anxious because the King Bai is trapped in the North Sea Domain, but what help can a mere lieutenant general provide!"
The officer whispered a reminder, "Lieutenant General Bai is Bai Xiuxiu. She recently underwent a spiritual energy atomization, advancing to the rank of Truth Mecha Pilot and being promoted from colonel to lieutenant general."
Long before Ning Chuan embarked on the Path of Invincibility, he handed over many one-time Martial Seal inscribed with the Spirit Forging Meditation Method to the Supreme Hall.
On the one hand, it serves as a reward for merit, motivating subordinates.
On the other hand, it was also a gift from the Supreme Hall to some of his acquaintances and friends.
Bai Xiuxiu was among them, receiving a portion and several drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid, which led to her rapid improvement in mental strength.
"It's her?!"
The Heavenly King's eyes flashed; he seemed to remember something.
However, it wasn't because of Bai Xiuxiu's strength or the Bai family's background, but rather because of her relationship with Ning Chuan.
"No, reject her application."
After some deliberation, the Heavenly King did not choose to agree.
"This..."
The officer gave a wry smile and could only tell the truth, saying, "Lieutenant General Bai has already left in her Truth Mecha. Her guards told me that headquarters has approved it—that is, applied for it. If they don't approve, don't bother her."
"Then let her go!"
The Heavenly King took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "At least we can exert combat power approaching that of Heavenly King. It's better than nothing. It will be a significant help to the war in the far north!"
Only those seven Sea Realm experts entered the North Sea Domain.
However, in the far north where the entrance is located, a large army of alien races and many powerful individuals have arrived, attempting to delay the rescue efforts from the Federation.
Thinking of this, the Heavenly King looked at the officer and said coldly, "Are there any other Heavenly King who can be mobilized, not just those in the military? Give them the highest-level conscription orders and transfer them all to the far north!"
"Currently unavailable."
The officer opened a tablet and said in a deep voice, "Many awakened Law Spirit seem to have known about this beforehand, and have appeared one after another in various parts of the Federation, committing murder and blood sacrifices, which has implicated many of our Heavenly King!"
Damn it!
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly King frowned and couldn't help but curse angrily.
Despite the military's formidable strength, it is inevitably stretched thin in the face of the successive awakening of Law Spirit and the covert support of numerous forces within the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
To some extent, there is nothing we can do.
"You bunch of scum, don't be so arrogant. When Ning Chuan becomes the dominant power, I'll chop you all up!"
ps:
I've seen quite a few readers say it's cliché... emmm... I'm worried you'll drop the story, so I'll just have to give you a spoiler.
Please trust in Formaldehyde's ability to reverse its effects.
The scenario of friends and family being captured will never happen.
Describing Qin Ya, Zi Yun'er, Lu Mengyue, Su Yun, Bai Xiuxiu, and others was just to... cough... enrich the characters' images. After all, if Ning Chuan had no reaction when faced with mortal danger (in the eyes of outsiders), it would be too one-dimensional.
Besides, it's not much; even with several people involved, it's only about 1,300 words.
