The Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect's Move
Chen Feng felt relieved only after his own people went to gather intelligence.
Furthermore, if Xingfeng Sect's fleet is on the Outer Domain Battlefield, the situation Outer Domain Battlefield can be captured on video, allowing him to obtain more accurate intelligence.
The Haili standing nearby said, "Sect Master, I'll go."
However, before the Haili could finish speaking, Ge Yunxuan said to her:
"Elder Haili, the Demon God Hall still needs your attention. Let me go instead. Besides, I don't have anything else to do lately."
Ge Yunxuan really doesn't have much to do lately.
Now that Xingfeng Sect has become the number one power on Canglan Star, there is no need for him to be stationed in the Southern Region.
Ge Yunxuan has always been at the forefront, and this time he also wants to go to the Outer Domain Battlefield.
Chen Feng nodded:
"Yunxuan is indeed a suitable candidate. Haili, you still need to take charge of the Demon God Hall, so don't get involved in this matter."
Seeing that Chen Feng had spoken, Haili stopped insisting.
"That's all for now. You can all go back and prepare. Yunxuan, stay here," Chen Feng said.
Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed.
After everyone left, Chen Feng looked at Ge Yunxuan and asked:
We've known each other for almost twenty years now, haven't we?
Ge Yunxuan quickly replied, "Sect Master, it's been twenty-three years."
"Twenty-three years? That's quite a long time. You've done a great job all these years, and I've seen it all."
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Ge Yunxuan immediately performed a deep bow:
"Yunxuan's greatest fortuitous opportunity in this life is meeting you, Sect Master. If it weren't for you, I would probably still be an insignificant prince of Yingzhou, and I wouldn't have the status I have today!"
Chen Feng immediately smiled, "Don't underestimate yourself. Everything you have now is the result of your own hard work. I just gave you a platform. I think your cultivation should have reached the Late Golden Core by now. Do you have any plans to form your Nascent Soul?"
Ge Yunxuan smiled wryly, "Sect Master, my aptitude isn't good enough; forming a Nascent Soul is too difficult for me."
Ge Yunxuan was well aware of his own aptitude; he had paid a huge price to break through to the Golden Core back then.
To be honest, he had absolutely no confidence in achieving Nascent Soul stage.
Chen Feng said, "If you reach the Golden Core Peak, you can come find me, and I will help you form your Nascent Soul."
Ge Yunxuan was stunned, then his body trembled, and he bowed deeply to Chen Feng once again:
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
Ge Yunxuan didn't ask Chen Feng how he would help him form a Nascent Soul. Chen Feng had already reached the Spirit Transformation and was currently the number one person on Canglan Star.
He said that helping him form an infant would definitely increase the chances of success by at least 50%.
This was undoubtedly a tremendous fortuitous opportunity for Ge Yunxuan.
Chen Feng helped Ge Yunxuan up and patted him on the shoulder:
"This is what you deserve. This trip to the Outer Domain Battlefield is very dangerous. Wait a few days before you go. I'll have someone modify one of the Carrier."
"Also, you can keep this."
Chen Feng took out a crystal from his person.
There was a black dot inside the crystal. Ge Yunxuan asked in confusion, "Sect Master, what is this?"
Chen Feng explained:
"This item is called the Return to the Ruins Stone. Even within the sect, very few people know about it. It poses a significant threat even to Spirit Transformation cultivators. You should take one with you on this trip."
Chen Feng originally intended to give Ge Yunxuan some treasures, but neither Postnatal Spirit Treasure nor Innate Spirit Treasure were something that Ge Yunxuan, a Golden Core cultivator, could activate.
As for the other treasures, they're not as good as the Three-Phase Bomb.
Therefore, Chen Feng ultimately decided to give a Return to the Ruins Stone to Ge Yunxuan.
At the very least, this will ensure that Ge Yunxuan won't be powerless to fight back when facing Spirit Transformation level expert.
In addition, the Carrier has been modified, and he plans to return to the modern world.
Bring over the high-energy particle cannon from Tuosen's place and install it on the Carrier, then have Ge Yunxuan travel to the Outer Domain Battlefield aboard this Carrier.
This would be safer.
Upon hearing that it posed a significant threat even to Spirit Transformation cultivators, Ge Yunxuan immediately accepted the Return to the Ruins Stone with a solemn expression.
"Please rest assured, Sect Leader, I will definitely complete the task you have assigned me."
"Okay, you can go now."
Ge Yunxuan bowed to Chen Feng and then left the Cabinet.
After Ge Yunxuan left, Chen Feng took out the Message-Transmitting Treasure Mirror and checked it. There was a message from Ye Yuting.
[Fellow Daoist Tuo, your senior brother has already traveled to another cultivation star via the teleportation array. He will be able to acquire the spatial materials you need soon!]
[Fellow Daoist Tuo, after the Blood River Sect was destroyed, the Spirit Transformation cultivators from those two forces came to me, saying they were going to share a portion of their profits with our Chamber of Commerce. What do you think?]
[By the way, they also asked me about you, but I didn't reveal a single word.]
"."
Ye Yuting sent a lot of messages, which Chen Feng quickly skimmed through.
The messages were all about the situation on Profound Firmament Star and some intelligence about the Weiyang Star Domain.
According to Ye Yuting, the Star Palace has already dispatched personnel to the Outer Domain Battlefield to prepare for dealing with the Void Spirit Race.
The forces dispatched were from Crape Myrtle Star and Illusory Radiance Star, each led by Spirit Transformation Peak cultivator.
Chen Feng was not surprised to see this message.
Because he had already obtained this information from Han Ke's memories through Soul Search.
"They've only sent out Spirit Transformation; it seems it'll be a long time before Void Refinement can join the battle."
Chen Feng made a judgment in his mind.
His biggest worry was that the Wandering Canglan Star Plan wouldn't even begin before the Void Spirit Race and the Star Palace's Void Refinement Elder appeared.
Chen Feng edited and sent a message: [Since they want to share some of their profits with you, of course you should accept it. Why not take advantage of a benefit?]
After sending the message to Ye Yuting, Chen Feng didn't wait for her reply but instead put away the Message-Transmitting Treasure Mirror.
It's time to return to the modern world.
As soon as the sound faded, his figure vanished from the spot.
On a desolate cultivation planet in Outer Domain Battlefield.
The cultivators from the Weiyang Star Domain are all currently on this cultivation star.
Originally, after the Void Spirit Race arrived at the Outer Domain Battlefield, all three cultivation stars here were occupied by the Void Spirit Race.
However, as cultivators from Purple Tenuity Star and Illusory Radiance Star arrived at the Outer Domain Battlefield, they also captured one of the cultivation stars and used it as a temporary stronghold.
Inside a stronghold on the cultivation planet.
The Spirit Transformation cultivators from Crape Myrtle Star and Illusory Radiance Star gathered together.
"Gentlemen, the Void Spirit Race have been behaving strangely these past few days. They seem unwilling to fight us and are holed up in their strongholds. What are your thoughts on this?"
Jiang Zhan of the Jiang Clan spoke.
A Spirit Transformation cultivator from Crape Myrtle Star said:
"It's really strange. I just led a group to investigate yesterday. The Void Spirit Race have gathered all their forces together but haven't taken any action. Even when our people provoke them, they don't respond at all."
The Spirit Transformation cultivators in the arena all showed expressions of confusion.
They originally thought that coming to the Outer Domain Battlefield would definitely lead to a fierce battle with the Void Spirit Race, but the Void Spirit Race did not react at all.
It's clearly impossible to say that the Void Spirit Race were afraid of them.
The Void Spirit Race are a warlike race, and there must be reasons for this that they don't know.
"Are they plotting something? What did the Star Palace say?" asked a Spirit Transformation expert from Illusory Radiance Star.
Jiang Zhan said in a deep voice, "The Star Palace's intention is for us to launch a direct attack."
Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces turned grim.
The Void Spirit Race have clearly taken precautions; if they were to attack, they would suffer heavy losses.
The elder leading the group from the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect said:
"The Star Palace's mission for us is simply to stop the Void Spirit Race from destroying the Star Domain Grand Array. Since the Void Spirit Race haven't made a move, we can just wait here."
The elder was an old woman whose wrinkles almost completely obscured her eyes.
Jiang Zhan said with a smile:
"Elder Ding is right, that's what I meant too. Although we obey the Star Palace, we can't just become cannon fodder for nothing."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although they were ordered to come by the Star Palace, it doesn't mean they would actually risk their lives.
The reason these two cultivation stars sent people here this time was because of the contract they made with the Star Palace back then, so they had no choice but to send people.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside, and a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect rushed in.
Everyone stared in astonishment at the person who had barged in.
The members of the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect frowned as they saw the cultivator who had barged in.
These are Spirit Transformation cultivators having a meeting right now. If they were to barge in at this time, wouldn't they be disgracing the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect?
Elder Ding said coldly:
"Who let you in?"
The Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect hurriedly said:
"Something's happened to the elder. News came from the sect that the soul tablets of more than a dozen disciples, including Han Ke, suddenly shattered. The sect is asking us what happened."
Powerful factions like the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect would have important figures leave behind soul tablets in order to know about their situation.
Upon hearing the Nascent Soul Cultivator's words, everyone from the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect stood up.
"Han Ke and the others' spirit tablets are broken?"
The Spirit Transformation cultivators from the other forces present also showed expressions of surprise.
No one expected this to happen so suddenly.
Han Ke and the others naturally recognized him as one of the genius disciples of the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect, who had already reached the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage.
Elder Ding looked at the Holy Maiden Caixia standing not far away and asked:
"Caixia, what did you send them to do?"
Elder Ding only knew that some time ago, Holy Maiden Caixia had arranged for Han Ke and others to handle some matters.
She didn't ask any further questions about the specifics of the matter.
Holy Maiden Caixia, who was standing to the side, was also shocked by the news. She only came back to her senses when she heard Elder Ding's voice.
The Holy Maiden Caixia said:
"I just asked them to go to Xiaoxing to pick up a friend for me."
The Holy Maiden Caixia briefly recounted the events.
Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear this. Three Nascent Spirit Transformation plus more than a dozen Nascent Soul Cultivator —this lineup could practically dominate any minor star.
Now all these people are dead; there must be something wrong with that.
"Could we have been ambushed by the Void Spirit Race?" one cultivator asked.
Elder Ding shook his head:
"Impossible. We hadn't even arrived at the Outer Domain Battlefield when Han Ke and the others left. How could the Void Spirit Race have known their movements?"
Jiang Zhan said, "I remember Canglan Star was recently kicked out of the star field by the Star Palace, which seems to be related to Devil Cultivator."
Upon hearing the word "Devil Cultivator," everyone's expression changed.
The Weiyang Star Domain has always been invaded by other starfields, and among them, the Devil Race is the one they fear the most.
Every Devil Race is immortal and indestructible. They paid an unimaginable price to deal with those few Devil Cultivator back then.
But in the end, they only sealed those few Devil Cultivator; they didn't kill them.
"If it really was the work of Devil Cultivator, then it's not surprising," one cultivator remarked.
The Holy Maiden Caixia then said:
"I also know about the Devil Cultivator, but I have confirmed that this star has not been conquered by Devil Cultivator."
The Holy Maiden Caixia had learned about the situation of the Devil Cultivator on Canglan Star from Nangong Yanyue a long time ago.
However, he suddenly lost contact with Nangong Yanyue more than a decade ago.
At that time, the message Nangong Yanyue gave her was that the Devil Cultivator on Canglan Star had been sealed.
Elder Ding said, "Regardless of the circumstances, the sudden deaths of three Spirit Transformation and so many others warrant an investigation."
Upon hearing this, the people of Crape Myrtle Star remained silent.
Clearly, they didn't want to send anyone over; it was someone from the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect who died, not one of their own.
"I'll go myself, after all, this matter was caused by [the Saintess Caixia]," the Holy Maiden Caixia said in a deep voice.
Elder Ding shook his head:
"No, if there really are Devil Cultivator on that cultivation star, it's too dangerous for you to go. Elder Wan, you'll come with me, and we'll also take five Nascent Spirit Transformation with us..."
An elder from the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect surnamed Wan nodded, indicating he had no objection to the arrangement.
This person possesses the strength of the Late Spirit Transformation. Together with Elder Ding, who is at the Spirit Transformation Peak, and the other five Nascent Spirit Transformation from Illusory Radiance Star, there are a total of seven people.
This is practically all the personnel that the Illusory Radiance Immortal Sect sent to the Outer Domain Battlefield this time.
Elder Ding looked at Holy Maiden Caixia and said:
"Caixia, you stay here and keep watch."
The Holy Maiden Caixia Clouds nodded. "Okay."
Elder Ding then looked at Jiang Zhan and said:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I'd like to trouble you to look after Caixia."
Jiang Zhan smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Ding, rest assured, with me here, your sect's Holy Maiden will definitely be safe."
Elder Ding didn't say anything more, and then she left with a group of people.
After Elder Ding left, Holy Maiden Caixia lost interest in participating in the meeting.
She left the room, took out the Message-Transmitting Treasure Mirror, and sent a message.
[You should know how Han Ke and the others died, right? Tell me!]
However, after the Holy Maiden Caixia sent her message, there was no reply from the other party.
This made her look very unpleasant.
She didn't understand why Nangong Yanyue had suddenly stopped contacting her more than ten years ago.
On another cultivation planet, in an Outer Domain Battlefield.
Hong Lu was also convening a meeting of the various leaders of the Void Spirit Race.
Because Kong Ling and the others perished on Canglan Star, the Void Spirit Race had less than ten Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators left.
Therefore, during this period, Hong Lu gathered all the members of the Void Spirit Race together and did not go out to take action.
Even though the Weiyang Star Domain sent people, the Void Spirit Race didn't make a move, instead abandoning a cultivation star. "Has the clan said when reinforcements will arrive?" Hong Lu asked with a grim expression.
Because of the deaths of Kong Ling and the others, he could only lead his men to retreat into hiding during this period, which completely disrupted their strategy.
Now he can only wait for reinforcements from the Void Spirit Race.
A leader of the Void Spirit Race replied:
"The Priest Hall is working on Space-Fixing passage, but it may take some time before they can send more people over."
Hong Lu frowned. "What about the Void Refinement cultivators?"
The leader shook his head. "The cultivators at the Void Refinement stage are too powerful; the current spatial passages are insufficient to handle them. The clan is considering other solutions."
The Void Spirit Star Domain is extremely far from the Weiyang Star Domain.
The two star systems cannot be reached by a single Starry Sky Vortex.
It took Hong Lu and his group several years to travel from the Void Spirit Race to the Weiyang Star Domain, passing through more than a dozen spatial rifts and Starry Sky Vortex before they finally arrived.
However, some of these spatial rifts and passages are not suitable for cultivators at the Void Refinement to pass through.
Even they could barely get through these spatial passages.
The more people there are, the stronger they become, and the more unstable the spatial passage will be.
This is why the Void Spirit Race only sent these few people this time.
Faced with these impassable spatial rifts, cultivators would need to use special materials to reinforce them, which would undoubtedly be very time-consuming.
"Damn it, this was the perfect opportunity!" Hong Lu's face was ashen.
Without nine Spirit Transformation, they simply have no chance against the forces sent by the Weiyang Star Domain.
However, due to the obstruction of the people from the Weiyang Star Domain, their plan to destroy the Star Domain Grand Array failed.
If this drags on any longer, the Weiyang Star Domain will definitely send more people over, and their chances will become even slimmer then.
