Encounter
Not only Jiang Zhan, but everyone else also showed surprise.
They had all previously believed that Elder Ding and the others had died at the hands of Devil Cultivator.
After all, only Devil Cultivator would have the ability to kill so many Spirit Transformation.
In addition, the Devil Cultivator on Canglan Star already showed signs of breaking free.
But now, Venerable Ice Soul is saying that there is no demonic energy on that little star.
How did Elder Ding and the others die?
The Ice Soul Venerable said:
"If you want to know the specifics, why don't you go and see Canglan Star?"
In fact, Venerable Ice Soul had another purpose in going to Canglan Star.
More than a decade ago, a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage went missing in a star field near Canglan Star.
Moreover, divine punishment occurred at that time.
Given that the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect members also encountered trouble on Canglan Star, it's hard not to suspect that there's something wrong with this cultivation star.
That's why Venerable Ice Soul came to the battlefield outside the realm.
Jiang Zhan nodded. "Yes, we really should go take a look."
Jiang Zhan wouldn't have dared to go to Canglan Star before, but now that Venerable Ice Soul is here, he has nothing to worry about.
Just then, Venerable Ice Soul suddenly let out a soft exclamation and looked in a certain direction.
"Master, what's wrong?" Saintess Caixia asked.
The Ice Soul Venerable said:
"That group of Voidlings has appeared, and they seem to be heading towards Canglan Star."
Jiang Zhan and the others were all taken aback.
What were they doing on Canglan Star?
The Ice Soul Venerable said, "You'll find out once you go."
As soon as Venerable Ice Soul finished speaking, the Starry Sky Dharma Ship immediately changed direction and chased after the Void Spirit Clan's Dharma Ship.
Jiang Zhan and the others then chatted with Venerable Ice Soul about the recent war between the Void Spirit Clan and the Void Spirit Clan.
Half an hour later, the group left the pavilion.
Jiang Zhan and the others were not worried at all about not being able to catch up with the group of Void Spirits who had escaped.
With Venerable Ice Soul, a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, here, that group of people simply cannot escape.
No one lingered in the attic; they all left.
Being with a Void Refinement Realm expert is quite stressful.
After leaving the attic, Jiang Zhan looked at Jiang Yunchen beside him and asked:
"After several days of fierce fighting, you still haven't shown any signs of breaking through?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yunchen's expression turned grim. He replied, "Just a little bit more."
Jiang Zhan shook his head. "Yun Chen, I'm afraid you've already developed inner demons."
As a veteran Nascent Spirit Transformation, Jiang Zhan could tell at a glance that Jiang Yunchen had a problem with his State of Mind.
This greatly disappointed him.
The most important thing for a genius is not their cultivation, but their State of Mind.
Because a powerful clan like the Jiang clan has enough resources to nurture an individual.
Although Jiang Yunchen is currently stuck at the Nascent Soul bottleneck, if their Jiang clan uses spirit medicine, they can easily help him cross this threshold.
However, such a breakthrough is tantamount to forcing growth; even if one achieves a breakthrough, future accomplishments will only stop at the Spirit Transformation stage.
For powerful families like theirs, the State of Mind of Lineage members is paramount.
If your State of Mind is off, you'll get stuck at a bottleneck and never make any progress.
The purpose of sending Jiang Yunchen to the outer battlefield this time is to enable him to break through to the Spirit Transformation during the battle.
However, during this period, Jiang Yunchen showed no signs of making a breakthrough, which made Jiang Zhan feel that Jiang Yunchen's State of Mind must have become problematic.
Jiang Yunchen said seriously:
"Uncle Zhan, my State of Mind is fine. I'm sure I can break through before returning to the clan!"
Jiang Zhan didn't say anything more, only sighed:
I hope so.
Several days later.
A streak of light sped across the starry sky.
The beam of light stopped in front of a spatial rift.
That ethereal light was naturally Chen Feng.
After several days of flying, he finally arrived at the spatial rift near Canglan Star.
Only by passing through this spatial rift can one reach the starry sky near the outer battlefield.
Looking at the enormous spatial rift in front of him, which was as large as a mountain, Chen Feng couldn't help but be amazed.
This was the first time he had ever seen a spatial rift that was naturally formed in the universe.
Although there are similar passages on Earth and in the solar system, they are only a foot wide and do not form spatial channels at all.
"These naturally formed spatial rifts in the universe seem to be unaffected by the Principle space," Chen Feng muttered to himself.
Generally speaking, whether in the starry sky or on a planet, once a crack appears in space...
The Principle of space will automatically repair these cracks.
However, naturally formed spatial rifts in the universe are unaffected by the Principle of space.
Even powerful cultivators cannot destroy this crack.
This made Chen Feng feel that there must be a special reason behind it.
Just then, a mothership sailed by.
Zhang Jin and some cultivators from the Xingfeng Sect were on the mothership.
Chen Feng immediately flashed through the mothership's protective shield and landed on the deck.
Zhang Jin and the others immediately bowed to Chen Feng:
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Chen Feng glanced at Zhang Jin and the others. "Have you all been keeping watch here the whole time?"
"Yes, we are responsible for relaying messages from here to those inside the gate," Zhang Jin replied respectfully.
Zhang Jin was specifically responsible for relaying messages. Once Ge Yunxuan received news, he would send someone through the spatial rift to notify him, and then he would use communication equipment to transmit the video of the extraterrestrial battlefield back to the Xingfeng Sect.
This is similar to a relay station.
Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, you should leave here first. That old monster in the Void Refinement stage could come at any time, and the mothership's stealth capabilities won't be able to hide from his Divine Sense sense."
"Yes, Sect Master." Zhang Jin nodded respectfully.
Chen Feng didn't say anything more, and then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the spatial rift.
Only after Chen Feng disappeared did the restrained crowd relax.
A cultivator nearby hesitated for a moment and asked, "Deacon Zhang, is the sect leader really going to deal with that Void Refinement old monster? Isn't that too dangerous?"
They had already learned that Chen Feng was going to deal with the Refinement Void Old Monster.
Many members of the Xingfeng Sect are worried about Chen Feng.
Zhang Jin smiled and said, "You guys haven't been in the sect long enough to understand the sect leader's personality."
Upon hearing this, the others looked at Zhang Jin with curiosity.
"Deacon Zhang, do you know the sect leader well?" a young female cultivator asked.
Zhang Jin replied, "I don't know much about the sect leader, but one thing I'm sure of is that he rarely does things he's not confident about. Since he dared to stop that Void Refinement old monster, it's not a problem for him to escape unscathed."
Zhang Jin joined Xingfeng Sect during the Great War between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect, and is now considered a veteran of the Xingfeng Sect.
Throughout their journey, every risky move Chen Feng made always ended up with nothing going wrong.
This time, Zhang Jin also believed that Chen Feng would be alright.
The young female cultivator breathed a sigh of relief:
"Since Deacon Zhang has said so, we can rest assured."
Zhang Jin laughed and said, "Alright, let's hurry up and leave. If we stay here any longer, we might just be a hindrance to the sect leader."
The space carrier then transformed into a streak of light and flew into the depths of space.
Chen Feng was traversing through the spatial passage.
At this moment, he couldn't perceive any change in speed, and even his concept of time was somewhat blurred.
Various lights and shadows exist around the spatial passage.
From these lights and shadows, he could vaguely see the light emitted by some stars.
"These lights and shadows must be from different star systems. Just as I guessed, this spatial passage is probably a kind of spatial jump, directly pulling the space of two regions together."
Looking at the light and shadow around him, Chen Feng couldn't help but gain a deeper understanding of space.
His understanding of space largely comes from modern theoretical research on space.
This is completely different from the understanding of space held by the monks in the Painting Scroll World.
This kind of insight into the Principle can only be gained by those who have reached the Spirit Transformation.
Because only Spirit Transformation cultivators can manipulate primordial energy, and primordial energy is the type of energy closest to the Principle.
Just then, a white light suddenly appeared in the distance.
Almost the instant Chen Feng saw the white light, his figure appeared in an unfamiliar starry sky.
Chen Feng looked around and could still see a few bright stars in the far distance.
"Those stars should be the cultivation stars of the extraterrestrial battlefield."
Although he had traversed countless miles through spatial rifts, Chen Feng was actually still in the edge region of the Weiyang Starfield.
The Weiyang Star Region is more than ten times larger than the Solar System. Even a Void Refiner would need countless years to traverse the Weiyang Star Region.
The distance spanned by this spatial rift was only a small section of the edge of the Weiyang Starfield.
Chen Feng then took out the communication mirror and began contacting Lan Yin.
Lan Yin had already told him that he would help him lure that Void Refinement old monster over.
Now, naturally, we need to ask about the location.
But before Chen Feng could send the message, a streak of light suddenly flew in from afar.
This streak of light moved at an extremely high speed, even surpassing the speed of Spirit Transformation cultivator in the starry sky.
At the same time, Chen Feng received a message from Lan Yin via the communication mirror:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, that Void Refinement Old Monster is right behind us. You just wait here, and you're sure to run into her. We'll be on our way now!"
On the Void Spirit Clan's magic ship.
Hong Lu and the others had already discovered Chen Feng standing in the starry sky through their Divine Sense.
Upon seeing Chen Feng again, both Kong Ling and Priest Jiang looked rather displeased.
They still clearly remembered the days they were imprisoned by Chen Feng.
"That person is Chen Beijin? He certainly seems extraordinary." Hong Lu, who was sitting cross-legged, had a somewhat solemn expression.
Chen Feng did not conceal his aura, revealing his early Spirit Transformation.
However, Hong Lu sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Chen Feng.
This was an intuition he developed after years of fighting life-or-death battles.
"I can't believe he actually dared to come alone. Should I call him confident, or arrogant?" Priestess Jiang said, though she was actually somewhat afraid of Chen Feng.
Chen Feng tormented her quite a bit back then, extracting information about the Void Spirit Clan from her.
Kong Ling said in a deep voice:
"That Void Refinement old monster should be catching up soon. Fortunately, he's chasing us in a magic boat; otherwise, given his speed, we wouldn't have made it this far."
At this moment, Lan Yin put away the communication mirror and said to everyone:
"Alright, I've already sent the message to you, Chen Beijin. Let's quickly adjust our direction and head in another direction."
However, the group completely ignored Lan Yin's words and instead looked directly ahead of the magic ship.
Lan Yin immediately looked up and saw Chen Feng, who was still in the distance, flying towards their magic ship.
Upon seeing this, Lan Yin's expression changed. "What is Chen Beijin trying to do?"
Kongling immediately said, "Adjust your direction and go around it!"
The French ship immediately began to adjust its course, preparing to fly away in another direction.
But at that moment, the primordial energy in the starry sky surrounding the Dharma ship began to contract.
These primordial energies directly formed several primordial energy barriers, forcing the Void Spirit Clan's starship to a stop.
These energy barriers can be broken through using the attack formation of the magic ship.
But there was no time to lose, because Chen Feng had already appeared beside the magic ship, and was only a few hundred meters away from the Void Spirit Clan members.
Hong Lu and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Although the Void Refinement Realm elder chasing them was terrifying, Chen Beijing posed an equally significant threat to them.
Their Void Spirit Clan has had several Spirit Commanders die at the hands of the enemy.
Lan Yin shouted at Chen Feng:
"Chen Beijing, what do you mean! We've already lured that Void Refinement Realm expert over here for you, why are you stopping us?"
Chen Feng calmly looked at the Void Spirit Clan members and said:
"Please stay here for now."
Chen Feng naturally wouldn't let the Void Spirit Clan members go.
What if these people go to Canglan Star while he's holding off the Refinement Void Old Monster?
He will not allow this potential problem to occur.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Hong Lu and the others looked extremely grim.
Chen Beijing's decision to leave them here is tantamount to telling them to wait to die.
If that Void Refinement Realm expert were to come, they wouldn't be able to escape at all.
Lan Yin wanted to say something more.
But at that moment, an incomparably terrifying Divine Sense swept over from a great distance.
This Divine Sense had almost materialized; one could even see a transparent ripple appearing.
The moment Divine Sense covered this area, ripples appeared in the space of this starry sky.
The mere presence of Divine Sense was enough to cause the starry sky to tremble, demonstrating the terrifying power of this Divine Sense.
Chen Feng and the others also felt themselves being locked onto by an extremely terrifying Divine Sense.
"That old monster is here!" Lan Yin's face turned pale.
At this moment, it was almost impossible for them to escape. Locked in by the old monster's Divine Sense, escape was virtually impossible.
Chen Feng looked up at the distant starry sky.
His Divine Sense did not detect anyone approaching from afar, clearly because the other party was still quite far away.
The range of Divine Sense of a Void Refinement cultivator is dozens of times greater than that of Spirit Transformation.
Its Divine Sense could easily cover a small cultivation star.
A cultivator at the Void Refinement stage can annihilate all the low-level cultivators on a small cultivation star using only their Divine Sense.
This is the power and terror of the Void Refinement stage.
This was the first time Chen Feng had directly experienced the Divine Sense of a Void Refinement level cultivator, and his expression became serious.
The Void Refinement Old Monster truly lives up to his reputation as a top expert in the Star Domain.
Even before he arrived, his Divine Sense had already exerted immense pressure on him.
But soon, Chen Feng clenched his right fist:
"That's what makes it interesting."
Since he entered the Spirit Transformation stage, he has almost never encountered an opponent, and his physical body has reached a new level after entering the Spirit Transformation.
Even Spirit Transformation had mastered the Power of Principle couldn't withstand more than a few of his attacks.
Chen Feng craved a formidable opponent, because without pressure, where would the motivation come from?
He also wanted to see how far he was from becoming a top-tier existence in this star field.
A dozen or so breaths later, a streak of light appeared in the distance.
This flowing light was a Buddhist ship, and its speed was not very fast.
It seemed that those on the French ship were not worried at all that Chen Feng and his group would escape.
Inside the Dharma Ship Pavilion of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect.
The Ice Soul Venerable remained seated in the main seat, his face as cold as ice.
Jiang Zhan and the others also returned to the pavilion, where they used their Divine Sense to see the Void Spirit Clan's magic ship that had stopped in the distance.
A Spirit Transformation cultivator said with a smile:
"The Void Spirit Clan's magic ship actually didn't flee. It seems they have the self-awareness to know that running away in front of Senior Ice is pointless."
The other Spirit Transformation also wore smiles.
During that period, they were utterly defeated by the Void Spirit Clan.
In particular, Hong Lu of the Void Spirit Clan killed several of their Nascent Spirit Transformation.
Now I can finally avenge that day.
At this moment, Venerable Ice Soul spoke up, "They didn't stop on their own; they were stopped by that early-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhan and the others all showed surprise, and then their Divine Sense fell on Chen Feng.
Early Spirit Transformation are easy to identify, because among the people in the distance, only Chen Feng is at the early Spirit Transformation stage.
"Could this person also be a member of the Void Spirit Clan? Why have I never seen him before?" someone asked in confusion.
