The Wandering Era

Eight thousand steering engines spewed out beams of plasma light that shot straight into the sky.

Those standing in the starry sky could clearly see these pillars of light illuminate.

Nangong Wentian looked at Canglan Star and asked:

"The engines are all running, so why isn't Canglan Star moving?"

You Luan, standing beside him, said helplessly, "Didn't you even bother to find out? This is just the steering engine, meant to stop the planet's rotation. The planetary engines haven't even started yet."

"So that's how it is, but I don't see it has stopped rotating." Nangong Wentian was still puzzled.

Yue Yao explained from the side:

"Senior Nangong, the rotation of Canglan Star must proceed slowly. If it stops abruptly, it will cause severe damage to the surface. The rotation should cease in approximately three days."

Yue Yao was very excited.

She and her team assembled all of these engines, so she was naturally very happy to see them starting up.

"Gentlemen, let's go inside the mothership and wait. In three days, we'll see all the engines running."

Chen Feng looked at Lu Linyuan and the others and said.

The group nodded and then followed Chen Feng to the mothership's command center.

This time, almost all the Spirit Transformation from Canglan Star have come, since the start of this engine is related to the safety of the entire Canglan Star.

Once inside the command room, everyone began exchanging their cultivation experiences.

In the past, the Spirit Transformation of Canglan Star rarely interacted with each other.

Now that there are so many people exchanging cultivation experiences together, everyone is speaking freely.

Especially with Chen Feng, the strongest person on Canglan Star, present, everyone felt that this was a rare opportunity.

Being able to exchange cultivation insights with such a powerful individual would definitely be very rewarding.

Three days passed quickly.

As the steering engine started, the rotation of the Azure Star gradually came to a stop.

Although the deceleration was gradual, the surface of Canglan Star still experienced a series of earthquakes and tsunamis due to the cessation of its rotation.

The major powers on Canglan Star had long been prepared for this.

In the immediate aftermath of certain geological disasters, these forces all dispatched personnel to handle the situation.

If these disasters were to occur on Earth, all humanity could do was provide post-disaster relief.

However, for Canglan Star, which has cultivators, these disasters can be avoided through certain means.

Some powerful cultivators already possess overwhelming abilities.

With the intervention of these cultivators, this geological disaster did not cause too much damage to the environment of Canglan Star.

As for the mortals living on Canglan Star, they did not feel the effects of the planet stopping its rotation.

The only difference might be that the cessation of rotation caused some changes in the planet's gravity.

But ordinary people cannot perceive this change.

As the rotation stopped, Chen Feng and some Spirit Transformation cultivators returned to the deck of the mothership.

Stopping the rotation is only the first step; the next crucial step is planetary engine propulsion.

Whether we succeed or not depends on this crucial step.

Yue Yao said to Chen Feng:

"Sect Leader, all planetary engine bases are now ready to start!"

Yue Yao was extremely nervous; whether Canglan Star could navigate the universe depended on this moment.

Although the blueprints clearly state that the thrust of 20,000 planetary engines is sufficient to propel the Azure Star.

But Yue Yao still couldn't help feeling nervous.

"Okay, let's begin." Chen Feng said calmly.

As Chen Feng finished speaking, Taiyi's voice rang out again in the arena.

"A root privilege command has been detected."

In Taiyi's program, the highest authority is Chen Feng, who can even directly command Taiyi to format himself.

This is an ironclad rule that was added when Taiyi was created.

After inspecting the conditions of each base, Taiyi started counting down as before.

All eyes on the mothership were focused on the surface of Canglan Star.

Not only here, but all the major forces on Canglan Star are also watching this scene.

A month ago, in order to facilitate communication with various factions, Xingfeng Sect distributed some smartphones to each faction.

These phones were broadcasting the scene in the starry sky in real time.

Countless people are extremely nervous at this moment.

In the past two months, cultivators from various factions have been working tirelessly, day and night, to assemble 20,000 planetary engines.

If Canglan Star is successfully pushed forward, it means that they will no longer need to worry about the threats from the Weiyang Star Region and the Void Spirit Clan.

Many people are silently praying for success.

Taiyi Machinery's electronic voice was transmitted from different communication devices:

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Ignition successful!

As Taiichi's voice faded...

In the northern hemisphere of Canglan Star, planetary engines instantly spewed out beams of azure plasma.

These beams of light were even more dazzling than those emitted by the previous steering engine.

From the starry sky, these pillars of light appear very small, as if the planet Canglan has grown glowing bristles.

But from the perspective of a planet, the feeling is completely different.

Each engine's plasma beam is hundreds of meters in diameter, making humans appear incredibly small when standing before these towering beams.

The sight of 20,000 beams of light piercing through the clouds simultaneously was breathtaking.

Taiichi's voice rang out once again:

"Ignition complete! All 20,000 planetary engines have successfully ignited!"

With all the planetary engines activated!

At this moment, Canglan Star also moved!

At first, Canglan Star moved very slowly, but soon its speed began to increase steadily.

This is because there is no resistance in the starry sky.

As long as the thrust continues, the Azure Star will keep accelerating.

According to calculations previously provided by Harvey et al., in one year, the speed of Canglan Star in the universe will reach one-thousandth of the speed of light.

The reason for using slow acceleration is to minimize damage to Canglan Star.

If the speed is too high, it will also cause damage to the surface of Canglan Star.

Of course, another reason is that the engine thrust is insufficient.

After Canglan Star began to move, wisps of air appeared behind it in the Northern Hemisphere.

This is not caused by the beams of light from the planetary engine, but rather by a unique phenomenon on Canglan Star caused by the conflict between thrust and gravity.

Whether in the modern world or the Painting Scroll World, planets are all pulled along in the universe by the gravity of stars.

The reason why Canglan Star is located near the Weiyang Starfield is because it is held in place by the gravity of those seven superstars.

The purpose of the planetary engine is to break free from this gravitational pull, allowing Canglan to move independently in the universe.

Fortunately, Canglan Star is located on the edge of the star field, where gravity has a very small effect; otherwise, it would not have been possible to propel it with just 20,000 planetary engines.

Those inside the Canglan Star cannot perceive its movement.

This is similar to the rotation of a planet; people living on a planet cannot perceive that the planet is rotating on its own.

However, everyone saw the movement of Canglan Star through the broadcast on their mobile phones.

At this moment, the entire Canglan Star was in an uproar!

"It's a success! It's a success! Canglan Star is really moving!"

"My God, is this really possible? It's unbelievable!"

"Once we leave this star system, the Void Race will no longer be a threat to us!"

"The crisis is over! The crisis is over!"

"."

The cultivators inside the engine bases cheered.

The fear brought by the Void Race has been lingering in everyone's hearts for some time now.

It can be said that everyone has placed all their hopes on the Wandering Azure Star Project.

Now that they see the plan has actually succeeded, they are naturally extremely excited.

Making the entire cultivation star move was something no one in the Painting Scroll World dared to even think about.

However, it has actually come true today.

Moreover, this was the result of their collective efforts.

The leaders of all the major powers smiled at this moment.

All the resources and manpower invested previously have paid off at this moment.

Many cultivators began to call out Chen Beijing's name.

Because in their view, all of this was caused by Chen Beijing.

Without Chen Beijing's plan to wander Canglan Star, everyone on Canglan Star would have been forced to wait to be enslaved by the Void Spirit Clan.

Chen Feng's name was once again deeply etched in the hearts of the cultivators of Canglan Star.

Historical records state:

[Canglan Star Calendar, 13,547]

[Chen Beijin, the leader of the Xingfeng Sect, has successfully formulated the "Wandering on Canglan Star" plan.]

[Thus, Canglan Star officially entered its era of wandering.]

On the mothership in the starry sky.

The crowd was also cheering.

Yue Yao, in particular, jumped up in excitement.

"It's a success! It really is a success! Haha!"

Yue Yao was incredibly excited at this moment; this sense of accomplishment was even greater than that she felt from building a nuclear bomb.

Several Nascent Spirit Transformation stared blankly at the Canglan Star, which was moving across the starry sky.

Such a spectacular and epic scene.

It made even these ancient monsters, who had lived for countless years, feel their blood boil.

Yun Qingjue's beautiful eyes flashed with a series of wonderful lights as she looked at Chen Feng and said;

"Sect Leader Chen, you are the most unique person I have ever met."

Hearing this, Chen Feng turned to look at Yun Qingjue:

"Special? How is it special?"

Looking into Chen Feng's deep, star-like eyes, Yun Chen Feng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Nangong Wentian, standing nearby, joked:

"Fellow Daoist Yun, you wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to him, would you? If you do, you can just say so. Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't have dao companion yet."

The others burst into laughter upon hearing this.

The movement of Canglan Star also eased the tension in the hearts of these Spirit Transformation cultivators.

Yun Qingjue didn't take the teasing to heart, but instead said:

"Fellow Daoist Chen has already reached the Spirit Transformation at such a young age, and his combat strength is top-tier among Spirit Transformation. Any woman would probably be tempted by him, and I am no exception."

Yun Qingjue spoke these words quite frankly, which surprised the other Spirit Transformation cultivators.

Beaver and Yue Yao, who were not far away, also heard Yun Qingjue's voice and both looked at him.

Just then, Liu Qian hurried up to Chen Feng and said anxiously:

"Sect Master, something's happened!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else in the room turned their gaze to Liu Qian.

"What is it?" Chen Feng asked Liu Qian.

Seeing that Chen Feng didn't seem to want to avoid the others, Liu Qian immediately said:

"Ge Yunxuan transmitted a message via radio waves, saying that a Void Refinement Realm expert has appeared on the extraterrestrial battlefield and is massacring the Void Spirit Clan army!"

Because the extraterritorial battlefield is too far from Canglan Star, it requires passing through a spatial rift to reach it.

Therefore, when Ge Yunxuan sends messages to the Xingfeng Sect, he usually dispatches a mothership through the spatial rift and then sends videos and intelligence from the extraterrestrial battlefield to the Xingfeng Sect.

This will take several days.

However, in case of an emergency, Ge Yunxuan would use radio waves to contact the Xingfeng Sect.

This type of communication can theoretically disregard distance, and the information transmission speed has already reached the speed of light.

In comparison, the communication mirror is much slower.

The Message Mirror requires establishing a connection before real-time communication can take place.

If the distance is very far, the process of establishing contact can take a long time.

Chen Feng has already tested this.

Upon hearing Liu Qian's words, the smiles on everyone's faces vanished instantly.

The Void Refinement Old Monster has appeared?

They had barely started moving Canglan Star when the Void Refining Old Monster appeared on the outer battlefield.

At the speed of the Refinement Void Elder, it wouldn't take him more than a few days to travel from the outer battlefield to Canglan Star.

In just a few days, given the current speed at which Canglan Star moves, it simply cannot travel that far.

Chen Feng asked, "The Void Refinement expert from the Weiyang Star Region? Did Ge Yunxuan say which faction he belongs to?"

Liu Qian shook his head. "He didn't know which faction the Void Refinement cultivators came from. He only saw that as soon as they appeared, they froze tens of thousands of Void Spirit Clan soldiers into ice sculptures, and then immediately led the fleet away."

Yun Qingjue, who was standing next to him, suddenly said:

"An ice sculpture? Could it be the Ice Soul Venerable of the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect?"

Lu Linyuan looked at Yun Qingjue and asked:

"The Ice Soul Venerable? Fellow Daoist Yun, do you know this Void Refinement old monster?"

Yun Qingjue shook his head. "I don't know them. Even within the star field, cultivators at the Void Refinement stage rarely appear. But if we're talking about the most powerful ice-type Divine Ability in the Weiyang Star Field, it would only be the Ice Soul Venerable of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect."

"Rumor has it that he not only cultivated the highest secret technique of the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect, 'Flowing Clouds Reflecting the Sky,' but also comprehended the ice-type Principle. He ranks second in strength among the Void Refinement cultivators of the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect and is quite famous in the Unending Star Region."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on their faces became extremely solemn.

If this Void Refinement cultivator came from the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect, it would be quite significant news for them.

Many members of the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect died on Canglan Star. This Void Refinement cultivator will definitely come to Canglan Star after resolving the matter of the Void Spirit Clan.

Nangong Wentian looked at everyone. "What should we do now? We have no chance against a Void Refinement cultivator with our current strength."

At this moment, Chen Feng spoke up:

"I'm going to the outer battlefield; you all stay on Canglan Star and guard it."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others changed, and they all began to dissuade him.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you absolutely mustn't! Although your Divine Ability are astonishing, you are a Void Refinement cultivator, someone who can truly borrow the power of Principle. You are worlds apart from a Spirit Transformation!"

"Yes, the Principle mastered by Void Refinement cultivators are many times stronger than those of Nascent Spirit Transformation. Moreover, the Primordial Spirit of such powerful individuals is almost materialized, and they can even mobilize large amounts of primordial energy in the starry sky."

There must be another way!

Everyone knew Chen Feng's Chen Feng: he was going to the outer battlefield to hold off that Void Refinement old monster.

This buys time for Canglan Star.

But that's the Void Refinement stage!

The higher the cultivation level, the greater the gap.

Even within the Spirit Transformation, there's a huge difference between minor realms, let alone the Void Refinement stage.

Perhaps Chen Feng could kill enemies beyond his level at the Spirit Transformation stage, but the Void Refinement stage represents a qualitative difference.

The two are completely incomparable.

Even Spirit Transformation cultivator is nothing more than a large ant in front of a Void Refinement old monster.

Chen Feng looked at everyone. "Do you have any other ideas?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

What can they do against a Void Refinement Old Monster? Innate Spirit Treasure Spirit Transformation, but against a Void Refinement Old Monster, Innate Spirit Treasure are just so-so.

The protective array of Canglan Star is even more useless now.

Such a powerful being could easily destroy a cultivation star.

Chen Feng said:

"Don't worry, if I dare to go, it means I'm confident. And I won't need to stay long. At the current speed of Canglan Star, it will only take a month at most."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.

A month? That's not long at all.

Do you think a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage would sit down and chat with you for a month?

Liu Qian looked at Chen Feng and said, "Sect Master."

Although Liu Qian didn't say anything, it was clear that he didn't want Chen Feng to go over.

Chen Feng patted Liu Qian on the shoulder:

"Someone has to go. Once that Void Refinement old monster arrives, everything we've done before will be for nothing."

Chen Feng knew very well what he was going to do.

Although he is currently no match for a Void Refinement cultivator, holding them off is not a problem.

But if the other party comes to Canglan Star, they can bypass him and directly slaughter the entire Canglan Star.

This is not what Chen Feng wanted to see.
