Meeting Kong Ling's Gaze.
That extraordinary figure who reached the Spirit Transformation in just 170 years is none other than the current ancestor of their Void Spirit Clan.
It was this ancestor who enabled their Void Spirit Clan to find a way to survive in the Unending Starfield when the starfield was on the verge of destruction.
There is only one such extraordinary person in their star field.
Now, suddenly hearing that someone has reached the Spirit Transformation stage in just twenty years, doesn't that mean Chen Beijing is even more monstrous than their ancestor?
Therefore, Spirit Root doesn't believe in such things.
She assumed that the cultivators from Canglan Star were deliberately exaggerating Chen Beijing's achievements to stabilize morale.
Hearing Kong Ling's words, Jiang Jiu looked at Kong Ling with a puzzled expression:
"Sister Kongling, don't you know about Sect Master Chen's matter?"
Jiang Jiu was indeed very puzzled, because almost every cultivator on Canglan Star knew about Chen Beijing's situation.
After all, several major events in recent years have been related to this Sect Master Chen.
In response to Jiang Jiu's questioning, Kong Ling replied without changing her expression, "I was in seclusion for seventy years to break through to the Golden Core stage, so I really don't know about the major events that have recently occurred on this star."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiu immediately realized, "I see. No wonder you didn't know Sect Leader Chen. Sect Leader Chen probably wasn't even born seventy years ago."
Kongling then asked:
"Could you tell me more about this Sect Master Chen?"
Kong Ling felt that many of the rumors about Chen Beijing were untrue.
But this person is probably not simple either, and she wants to learn more about him.
"Of course, no problem. To talk about Sect Master Chen, we have to start from the outer sea," Jiang Jiu began to recount Chen Feng's story.
From the Xingfeng Sect making a name for itself in the outer seas, to the conflict with the Great Zhou, and then the demonic calamity of Luoxia Valley.
He recounted almost all of these major events.
As Kong Ling listened to Jiang Jiu's story, her brows furrowed even more deeply.
Just from the other party's brief description, she could tell that Chen Beijing's strength was growing at an alarming rate.
Especially the Xingfeng Sect, whose methods are truly unbelievable.
A nuclear bomb capable of instantly killing a Golden Core cultivator, and a crimson light capable of instantly killing Nascent Soul.
There are also magical ships that can sail without needing Spiritual Qi.
All of this was something Kongling had never heard of before.
Although the Void Spirit Starfield and the Unending Starfield are extremely far apart, as long as they are starfields where Spiritual Qi is the primary means of cultivation, they are not that different.
Their Law Technique Divine Ability and realms are almost identical, including the various arts of cultivating immortality.
The only difference is that each star system has its own culture and specialties.
But this Xingfeng Sect is completely different.
The things this force exhibits are beyond our comprehension.
"That's all I wanted to say. It's a pity I haven't seen Sect Leader Chen in a long time; he's not so easy to meet these days."
Jiang Jiu sighed.
Kongling joked, "You seem quite interested in this Sect Master Chen. Could it be that you've taken a liking to him?"
Jiang Jiu quickly waved her hand. "Sister, please don't tease me. Even if I were interested, Sect Leader Chen wouldn't even look at me."
Kong Ling didn't speak again, but she felt a sense of apprehension towards the Xingfeng Sect.
She felt that this Xingfeng Sect might become the biggest obstacle for their Void Spirit Clan in conquering Canglan Star.
Although she still couldn't believe that Chen Beijing had grown to this level in just twenty years, she was certain that he was definitely not simple.
"We must thoroughly investigate this person and this Xingfeng Sect."
Kongling had an idea in her mind.
Just then, there was a sudden movement at the entrance to the stormy sea in the distance.
Fan Long, who was chatting with Wangyue City and Yanshen Sect members, suddenly turned his head to look at the entrance to the Storm Sea.
At the entrance to the stormy sea, a man dressed in a light blue-white robe emerged.
He had shoulder-length silver hair and deep, star-like eyes.
Although he possessed no aura whatsoever, he, like a star, drew everyone's attention.
The others in the room were still somewhat bewildered when this person appeared.
But Fan Long immediately realized what was happening and knelt down on the ground:
"Fan Long greets the Sect Master!"
The rest of the Xingfeng Sect members also knelt down in unison to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Even the cultivation robot next to it bent over.
At this moment, the arena was completely silent, with only the shouts of the Xingfeng Sect members echoing in all directions.
The cultivators gathered at the entrance to the Stormy Sea were all staring blankly at the silver-haired man who emerged from the Stormy Sea.
Chen Beijing, the man who was famous on Canglan Star ten years ago, has reappeared.
The people from the Yanshen Sect and Wangyue City also reacted and hurriedly came to greet Chen Feng:
"Sect Leader Chen!"
Although they did not bow, their attitude was very respectful.
Chen Feng glanced at the cultivators in the arena. Although he had heard You Luan talk about the situation here before, he was still somewhat surprised to see so many people gathered here in person.
He first addressed Van Long and the others, saying, "Get up, all of you."
Fan Long and the others from the Xingfeng Sect quickly stood up.
Van Long was extremely excited at this moment.
Although he was a steward of the Xingfeng Sect, he had never actually seen Chen Feng.
They were naturally very excited to finally see their sect leader in person.
Chen Feng then looked at Jiang Bohan, Gu Ran, and the others, a gentle smile on his face, and said:
"Fellow Daoists, it's been a long time."
Previously, Chen Feng had to address these people as seniors, but he was already Nascent Soul.
Moreover, since he is about to break through to the Spirit Transformation, he naturally doesn't need to be addressed the same way as before.
Jiang Bohan smiled and said:
"It's been many years since I last saw you, Sect Leader Chen's charisma is only growing stronger."
Gu Ran didn't speak, but Liu Qingqing beside her said:
"Sect Leader Chen, do you still remember the sparring agreement from back then?"
Liu Qingqing and Chen Feng had interacted before, and there had been no unpleasantness between them. But Gu Ran was different; he was too embarrassed to greet Chen Feng.
Chen Feng looked at Liu Qingqing and smiled slightly:
"Of course I remember. Fairy Liu's Divine Ability left a deep impression on me. Let's have another chance to spar."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing's smile widened even more.
Chen Feng's words were an admission that he was indeed Hua Xuanzi from back then.
"Sect Leader Chen is too kind. With Sect Leader Chen's current Divine Ability, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move," Liu Qingqing said with a wry smile.
Chen Feng didn't say anything; he then looked at the cultivators gathered in the arena.
These people were all watching Chen Feng.
They had been complaining about the Xingfeng Sect, but when Chen Feng appeared, no one dared to complain anymore.
This person has defeated the Demon God. Who on the entire Canglan Star would dare to speak ill of the Xingfeng Sect in front of Sect Master Chen?
Chen Feng spoke up:
"Gentlemen, I know the purpose of your trip. Since you're just passing through, I thought I'd take this opportunity to mention it."
Everyone held their breath and listened intently.
Chen Feng continued:
"You may enter the Northern Territory to absorb spiritual rain for cultivation, but once you arrive, you must abide by the rules of our Xingfeng Sect."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators in the arena immediately became excited.
Many people immediately showered Chen Feng with compliments and thanks.
Being able to enter the Northern Territory for cultivation was a great fortuitous opportunity for them.
They've been waiting here for so long, isn't this what they're here for?
But then, Chen Feng changed the subject and said:
"Although you are all allowed to enter the Northern Territory, each force can only send ten people. If you wish to send more, you can do so for a fee of ten top-grade Spirit Stone per additional person. I hope you all have no objections."
Everyone was surprised that Chen Feng wanted to take their Spirit Stone, and the faces of some cultivators from smaller factions immediately fell.
Jiang Bohan then said:
"No objection! This spiritual rain falls in the Northern Territory, so it belongs to the Northern Territory. Sect Leader Chen's willingness to let us in is already an immense favor."
"Moreover, there are no free fortuitous opportunity in this world. You get what you deserve based on your strength; this has always been the rule in the cultivation world."
After Jiang Bohan finished speaking, the other major powers also expressed their agreement.
Although top-grade Spirit Stone are very precious, these forces can still afford them.
Although some smaller factions were unwilling, they dared not say anything more.
In the cultivation world, strength is everything. The fact that Xingfeng Sect allowed ten of them in is already a great favor.
"Sect Leader Chen, do you still remember me?" A female voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Chen Feng looked closely and saw a woman in armor with a long sword at her waist standing in the crowd.
Chen Feng smiled slightly:
"Miss Jiang, you flatter me. How could I not remember you?"
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Jiang Jiu immediately smiled.
"Sect Leader Chen, you actually still remember me!"
As Jiang Jiu was about to step forward, she was stopped by Jiang Bohan, who was standing to the side.
"Little Jiu, don't be rude."
Chen Feng's current status is quite extraordinary, while Jiang Jiu is merely a Golden Core cultivator; the proper etiquette must be observed.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiu stopped in his tracks, looking at Chen Feng with a resentful expression.
Chen Feng said to Jiang Jiu:
"I have to leave now. I'll catch up with Miss Jiang Jiu another time."
Chen Feng naturally remembered Jiang Jiu.
The other party reminded him of many things when they came to the outer seas back then.
At that moment, Chen Feng suddenly realized that he seemed to be being watched by a gaze.
His Divine Sense is now very strong; he can detect any gaze directed at him.
He immediately looked at Kong Ling, who was standing next to Jiang Jiu.
Kong Ling was also looking at Chen Feng at that moment.
Kong Ling looked at Chen Feng with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
Their eyes met, and Kong Ling quickly looked away and lowered her head.
When their eyes met, Chen Feng saw Kong Ling's pair of glass-like pupils.
But Chen Feng only glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he addressed the crowd:
"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave now. The specific arrangements for entering the Northern Territory will be made by someone once you have arrived."
Upon hearing this, everyone bowed in unison.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to Sect Leader Chen!"
The sheer number of cultivators shouting this together created a deafening roar.
Among those present were many Nascent Soul experts, but at this moment they bowed just like everyone else.
Chen Beijing is someone who can defeat a late-stage Spirit Transformation; he deserves their respect, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him "senior."
Amidst the respectful farewells of the crowd, Chen Feng transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon.
After Chen Feng left, Fan Long addressed the cultivators in the arena:
"Please follow me, everyone."
With Chen Feng speaking up, Fan Long immediately cleared the entrance to the Storm Sea.
Cultivators from various factions began entering the Northern Territory one after another.
Kong Ling kept her head down in the crowd, but she was very shocked.
When she first saw Chen Feng, she was simply surprised.
Because Chen Feng actually had silver hair just like their Void Spirit Clan.
But that wasn't what shocked her; it was the eye contact she had just exchanged with Chen Beijing.
Upon seeing the other person's gaze, she suddenly felt a pang of fear.
This is a special ability of the Void Spirit race.
By making eye contact, one can roughly judge the level of threat posed by the other party.
The fact that Chen Beijing could make her feel palpitations meant that his strength posed a threat to her.
This shocked her greatly.
"This person shouldn't have broken through to the Spirit Transformation stage yet, how could he possibly pose a threat to me?"
Kong Ling could already tell that Chen Feng had not advanced to the Nascent Spirit Transformation; there was no trace of Primordial Spirit aura on his body.
It was truly unbelievable that a cultivator who wasn't even at the Spirit Transformation could make her, a late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, feel a sense of unease.
"This person may possess some invaluable treasure unknown to me, and it's definitely not due to his own strength."
Kong Ling still couldn't believe that a cultivator who hadn't even advanced to the Nascent Spirit Transformation could threaten her.
But after meeting Chen Feng, she became wary.
"Sister Kongling, let's go inside." Jiang Jiu's voice came at this moment, interrupting Kongling's thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Kong Ling's expression immediately returned to normal:
"Good."
Kongling then followed the people from Wangyue City into the Stormy Sea.
In the southern region, somewhere in the sky.
A streak of light was hurtling forward, and inside it was Chen Feng.
He was currently texting Liu Qian on his phone.
[Go investigate someone for me.]
Liu Qian quickly replied: [Sect Master, what are your orders?]
Chen Feng: [This woman is following Jiang Jiu from Wangyue City; she has a pair of azure-colored eyes.]
Liu Qian asked, "[Sect Master, is this just an investigation?]"
[Send someone to keep an eye on her; notify Zhengjiao if she makes any unusual moves.]
[Yes, Sect Leader.]
After sending the message to Liu Qian, Chen Feng put his phone away.
When he was making eye contact with that ethereal being, the stellar energy around him suddenly trembled, which alerted him.
Although judging from her aura, this woman only possessed the strength of a Golden Core cultivator.
The fact that his stellar energy trembled suggests he was likely hiding his true strength.
Although many people in the cultivation world hide their strength, this woman gave her a special feeling, especially her eyes.
Just to be on the safe side, Chen Feng asked Liu Qian to investigate.
With Zheng Jiao inside, there shouldn't be any trouble.
Chen Feng wasn't too worried. With the current strength of the Xingfeng Sect, they could handle even Spirit Transformation stage expert.
Without giving up on the matter, Chen Feng increased his speed and soon arrived at Immortal Treasure City.
Xianbao City remains bustling with activity today.
There were many cultivators in the city, and every shop was packed with people.
Chen Feng went straight to the teleportation hall.
As soon as he entered, he saw Qu Jing, who was already waiting for him.
"Sect Leader Chen!" Qu Jing bowed to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng asked, "Is the formation ready?"
Qu Jing smiled:
"Everything is ready, and we can start it at any time."
Qu Jing led Chen Feng to the teleportation array.
Chen Feng walked onto the teleportation array, and the array masters beside him immediately began to activate the array.
Qu Jing looked at Chen Feng and said:
"Sect Leader Chen, you can contact Gao Xian in the Western Regions if you need anything."
Although they hadn't seen each other for ten years, Qu Jing didn't reminisce with Chen Feng.
She also knew that Chen Feng had urgent business in the Western Regions.
Chen Feng nodded, and then his figure disappeared from the formation.
