Return to Profound Firmament

Liu Qian was very curious about why Chen Feng had suddenly invited so many Nascent Soul Cultivator over.

Chen Feng suddenly came back just now, so I asked him to notify the people. I haven't had a chance to ask about this matter yet.

Chen Feng didn't hide anything and briefly explained his plan to move Canglan Star to Liu Qian.

Upon hearing that Chen Feng wanted to move the entire Canglan Star, Liu Qian froze on the spot.

Even though he had been exposed to a lot of modern knowledge, he was still shocked by Chen Feng's plan.

Moving the entire planet Canglan! That sounds like a fantasy.

Liu Qian already knew how big Canglan Star was, and the Northern Territory was just the tip of the iceberg.

Moving such a large planet would require an immense amount of power.

"Sect Leader Chen, is this really possible?"

Seeing Liu Qian's shocked expression, Chen Feng said:

"Isn't there no other way right now? I'm gathering these powerful figures not only to announce this, but also to get them to pay for this plan."

Liu Qian took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice:

"Sect Master, if this matter can truly succeed, it will definitely change the fate of Canglan Star."

Liu Qian was well aware of the current predicament of Canglan Star. Although the invasion crisis of the Void Spirit Clan was resolved last time, it did not mean the end.

It probably won't be long before a steady stream of powerful Void Spirit Clan members arrive.

Even if they kill one batch, there will definitely be another, unless they can wipe out the entire Void Spirit Clan, which is obviously impossible.

If Canglan Star were to leave the Weiyang Starfield, all the crises could be resolved.

"Go and prepare to receive these Nascent Soul Cultivator. I need to go to Xuanxiao Star first."

The invitation period for Nascent Soul or higher experts from Canglan Star will be in half a month.

Chen Feng naturally wouldn't just wait idly; he was going to Xuanxiao Star to acquire some more spatial materials.

"Yes, Sect Master, I will arrange everything." Liu Qian bowed respectfully.

Chen Feng said nothing more, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Chen Feng invited all Nascent Soul and above experts from Canglan Star to the Northern Territory for a meeting.

The news spread throughout the entire Canglan Star in a very short time.

With the help of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, the news spread incredibly quickly.

The major powers that learned of this were shocked.

Why did Chen Beijing suddenly summon so many people to the northern border for a meeting?

This was an idea that arose simultaneously from all the factions.

If it were anyone else, the major powers of Canglan Star would simply ignore such an invitation.

But Chen Beijing is different; he is now the true number one person on Canglan Star.

The other party recently protected Canglan Star.

His invitation forced all the major powers to take it seriously.

Many forces that were on good terms with the Xingfeng Sect immediately summoned their Nascent Soul Cultivator were away, preparing to go to the Xingfeng Sect to participate in this meeting.

These forces that were on good terms with the Xingfeng Sect were eager for the Xingfeng Sect's prestige to rise, so they responded immediately.

Other factions that had little to do with the Xingfeng Sect also chose to set off.

Chen Feng saved all of them, so they still had to give him face.

However, some of these forces are caught in a dilemma.

These are all forces that don't have a good relationship with the Xingfeng Sect.

Beast Control Sect, inside the main hall.

All the high-ranking members of the Beast Taming Sect were gathered in the main hall at this moment.

Seated in the main seat is Wu Qiheng, the current sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect.

He wore a robe made of animal hide and a half-mask on his face, with pupils shaped like those of an animal.

"As you all know, Chen Beijing has invited all Nascent Soul and above experts from Canglan Star to the Northern Territory for a meeting. Should our Beast Taming Sect go?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned solemn.

The Beast Taming Sect had clashed with the Xingfeng Sect a long time ago. First, their disciples were killed, and then their Nascent Soul elder went to settle the score, but was also killed.

Since then, the Beast Taming Sect has never provoked the Xingfeng Sect again.

As the Xingfeng Sect grew stronger, the Yushou Sect went so far as to close its mountain gates and cease all involvement in external affairs.

When the Void Spirit Clan attacked last time, the Beast Taming Sect did not send anyone to fight them.

At this moment, a person stepped forward from below, cupped his hands, and said:

"Sect Master, although I don't know what Chen Beijin invited so many people to discuss, I suggest we go."

The speaker was Jue Mingzi, one of the nine elders of the Beast Taming Sect.

Of the nine elders of the Beast Taming Sect, only seven remain today.

Two people died at sea, and the third died from the backlash that Chen Feng suffered.

No sooner had Jue Mingzi finished speaking than a Nascent Soul Cultivator beside him immediately retorted:

"Go to the Xingfeng Sect? If we go, our Beast Taming Sect will be wiped out from this world. Have you all forgotten our grudges with the Xingfeng Sect? Back then, we sent two Nascent Soul experts to cause trouble for the Xingfeng Sect."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned serious.

That's exactly what they were worried about. Right now, the Beast Taming Sect is nothing more than a large ant in front of Chen Beijing.

They can crush them however they want.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Jue Mingzi continued, "..."

"Have you considered what would happen to the Xingfeng Sect if all the other forces went, but our Beast Taming Sect didn't?"

These words left the Nascent Soul Cultivator had just retorted speechless.

Yes, if it's the entire Canglan Star, only their Beast Taming Sect didn't send anyone.

Will Chen Beijing feel that their Beast Taming Sect is disrespecting him and then come looking for trouble?

Sitting in the main seat, Uchiheng said:

"Alright, let's do it according to Jue Mingzi's wishes. All cultivators above the Nascent Soul will accompany me to the Northern Territory."

"Since we've chosen to go, let everyone go together."

"The Xingfeng Sect Xingfeng Sect now an entity we can only look up to. If they wanted to deal with us, they would have done so long ago; there would have been no need to wait until now."

"This trip to the Xingfeng Sect will also be a good opportunity to probe what Sect Master Chen is thinking."

Seeing that the sect leader had made a decision, the others dared not object.

The same scene unfolded across various parts of Canglan Star.

Many factions are discussing the number of people to send to the Xingfeng Sect, even though Chen Feng invited everyone.

However, these forces will not actually send all their Nascent Soul Cultivator there; they must leave a few to guard the area.

The discussion among these factions revolved around the number of people to be sent to the Xingfeng Sect.

Less than a day after the news spread, Nascent Soul Cultivator could be seen speeding through the air all over Canglan Star.

Of course, it wasn't just Nascent Soul heading to the Northern Territory this time; there were also some talented disciples from various powerful forces.

The invitation from the Xingfeng Sect did not specify that other people could not come.

Many powerful factions naturally wanted to broaden their horizons by taking their disciples out into the world.

If we're talking about the most awkward of all the forces, it has to be the Cultivation Alliance. The Cultivation Alliance has always been a transcendent force on Canglan Star.

Moreover, the Cultivation Alliance also has the power to coordinate all forces on Canglan Star.

Chen Feng's actions have undoubtedly rendered the Cultivation Alliance powerless.

This has made many people curious to see how the Cultivation Alliance will react.

However, what everyone was looking forward to did not happen. The day after the news broke, the Cultivation Alliance announced that it would send people to the Northern Territory to participate in the meeting.

The various factions were all very surprised to learn of this news.

This move by the Cultivation Alliance undoubtedly acknowledges that Xingfeng Sect holds a higher status than the Cultivation Alliance on Canglan Star.

Immediately, many cultivators on Canglan Star began discussing this matter.

The hype surrounding Chen Feng's victory over the Void Spirit Clan had already died down, but this invitation has made Canglan Star lively once again.

Chen Feng was unaware of everything that had happened on Canglan Star.

He had already arrived at Xuanxiao Star via the inter-star teleportation array.

More than a decade has passed since I last visited this cultivation planet.

He remembered that the last time he came here, he was targeted by a force called the Blood River Sect because he was buying space materials.

At that time, the other side even sent a Spirit Transformation cultivator to attack him.

At that time, he could only take one of his opponent's attacks head-on before fleeing in panic.

Chen Feng collected his thoughts and looked around.

The interstellar teleportation array is still located at the bottom of the lake, but many protective arrays have been added.

Over the years, it was Liu Qian who negotiated with Ye Yuting and the others; he did not interfere with the interstellar trade and teleportation.

"This is a good opportunity to see how well the two of them are developing the chamber of commerce."

Chen Feng's figure flashed, heading towards Qingling Mountain Market along the path of his memories.

Qingling Mountain Market.

Compared to decades ago, Qingling Mountain Market has not changed much.

As one of the largest markets on Xuanxiao Star, it still attracts a large number of cultivators every day.

The only change is the rise of a new force called the Yuting Chamber of Commerce over the past few decades.

Yuting Chamber of Commerce was originally just a small chamber of commerce, but its special magical Law Artifact and weapons were favored by many low-level cultivators.

Thanks to this business, Yuting Chamber of Commerce has developed extremely rapidly.

In just over a decade, this chamber of commerce has become one of the largest in Qingling Mountain.

What's even stranger is that the three major powers controlling Qingling Mountain Market—Blood River Sect, Cloud Mist Sect, and Taixu Temple—have completely ignored the rise of the Yuting Chamber of Commerce.

Rumors circulated in the market that the Yuting Chamber of Commerce had demonstrated strength that made these three forces wary, which was why it was able to develop steadily.

Some say that it was the powerful backers behind the Yuting Chamber of Commerce who were able to keep the three forces in check.

In short, all sorts of rumors circulated, and this had become a common topic of conversation among many cultivators in Qingling Mountain Market.

On a street east of Qinglingfang City, there stands a suspended pavilion.

This attic is as large as a mountain, occupying almost half of the sky above this street.

At the front of the attic, the four large characters "Yuting Chamber of Commerce" are hung.

There were many cultivators coming and going in the pavilion. Most of the cultivators who came here were low-level cultivators, with one or two Golden Core cultivators occasionally appearing.

On the top floor of the attic, Ye Yuting sat in the main seat, with the chamber of commerce's managers sitting on either side of her.

"President, for the past six months, our business has been suppressed by the Blood River Sect and the Misty Sect. They have even secretly spread the word that any cultivator who buys anything from our business will be blacklisted."

One of the managers said indignantly.

Another manager chimed in, "Yes, if this continues, our business in the market will definitely be affected. Why don't you, Guild Master, go and talk to the Blood River Sect and the Cloud Mist Sect?"

Ye Yuting pulled her hair up and said in a cold voice:

"I'll handle this. You just need to focus on your own tasks."

Upon hearing this, the managers fell silent and all left.

After all the managers left, Ye Yuting took out a communication talisman and said:

"Senior brother, how's the situation on your end?"

Xu Heng's voice came through the communication talisman. "It'll be soon. I've already reached an agreement with three forces, and they've agreed to let us establish a chamber of commerce in their territory."

Hearing this, Ye Yuting breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. The Blood River Sect and the Cloud Misty Sect have been going too far lately. We've already shared some of the profits with them, but they're still not satisfied!"

Xu Heng said, "That's normal. People are never satisfied; their goal has always been the source of firearms."

Ye Yuting hesitated for a moment, then said:

"I think we should tell Xingfeng Sect about this. With their support, Blood River Sect definitely won't dare to act recklessly!"

Xu Heng's solemn voice came:

"No, Fellow Daoist Tuo's identity is very sensitive. If we go to war with the Blood River Sect head-on, it will cause him a lot of trouble. We can still develop in other places!"

"Alright," Ye Yuting sighed.

The Yuting Chamber of Commerce has expanded too rapidly over the years, naturally attracting the attention of several major forces in Qingling Mountain.

Several years ago, the Blood River Sect and the Cloud Misty Sect sent powerful experts to cause them trouble, but they were repelled by Ye Yuting and Xu Heng using the Three-Phase Bullet.

The three-phase bullets were naturally Xingfeng Sect, specifically for self-defense.

That incident also made the Blood River Sect and the Misty Sect wary.

Ultimately, the Yuting Chamber of Commerce reached an agreement with the three major forces of Qingling Mountain.

Every year, the Yuting Chamber of Commerce allocates a portion of its profits to these three major forces in exchange for their right to establish chambers of commerce in Qingling Mountain.

This profit is naturally for the two of them; they wouldn't dare share Xingfeng Sect's share.

Moreover, they did not inform Xingfeng Sect about this matter.

The main reason was that I didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Feng.

But recently, several major forces in Qingling Mountain have started to make moves again.

The main reason is that the Yuting Chamber of Commerce has earned too many Spirit Stone.

Previously, the chamber of commerce only sold pistols and rifles, but in recent years it has been selling better weapons.

The daily income of Spirit Stone is an astronomical figure.

Naturally, it caught the attention of the various forces in Qingling Mountain.

After learning this, Xu Heng led a group of people away from Qingling Mountain to establish merchant guilds in other parts of Xuanxiao Star.

The purpose was to break away from Qingling Mountain Market.

Although doing this will result in the loss of some business, it is safer.

Ye Yuting put away the communication talisman and was about to go to the Chamber of Commerce to take a look around when a subordinate ran in.

"President, someone wants to see you," the subordinate said respectfully.

Ye Yuting frowned. "Are they from the Blood River Sect again?"

"No, the other party said they are an old friend of yours and came specifically to visit," the subordinate explained.

Ye Yuting was even more surprised. "My old friend? Let him in."

Ye Yuting couldn't help but become curious. For someone to alert her from the outside, the person who came must be Nascent Soul Cultivator.

She was curious about who this old friend was.

The subordinate nodded and then left.

A short while later, a man entered the room.

Ye Yuting's eyes widened as she looked at the newcomer. "You're Fellow Daoist Tuotuo!"

Seeing Ye Yuting's appearance, Chen Feng smiled:

"What? We haven't seen each other for over ten years, don't you recognize me anymore!"

After leaving the inter-star teleportation array Chen Feng arrived at Qingling Mountain Market. He first strolled around before heading to the Yuting Chamber of Commerce.

Ye Yuting quickly got up and came to Chen Feng, excitedly saying:

"Fellow Daoist Tuo, you've changed so much! I almost didn't recognize you!"

Ye Yuting had the expression of a little girl meeting her idol, a stark contrast to her demeanor when she met the Chamber of Commerce manager earlier.

At that moment, she was curiously observing Chen Feng.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "What, you're just going to let me stand here and talk to you?"

Seeing his friend again after more than a decade lifted Chen Feng's spirits.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuting quickly said:

"Fellow Daoist, please have a seat."

Ye Yuting gestured for Chen Feng Chen Feng to sit down, and then personally brewed him some spiritual tea.

As she brewed tea, she said:

"I was wondering where this old acquaintance came from, but it turns out it's you, fellow Daoist. Why didn't you let me know beforehand so I could pick you up?"
