Changes in the Xingfeng Sect
With Chen Feng's cultivation level, he could naturally see Liu Qian's current state.
The other person only has a little over ten years left to live.
Although Liu Qian took various pills to extend his lifespan, even with a mortal's constitution, no matter how many pills he took, he could not extend his lifespan by much.
Looking at Liu Qian in front of him, Chen Feng felt a pang of sadness. This former bandit strategist had followed him all the way to where he was now, for almost a century.
Within this century, Xingfeng Sect also became the most powerful force on Canglan Star.
Having gone through so much together, Chen Feng had long since come to regard Liu Qian as a friend.
"Next time I return to the modern world, let's solve the lifespan problem of Liu Qian and the others first." Chen Feng thought of the consciousness transfer technology that Tiya was researching.
After all these years, Tia's team should have done enough research.
The first generation of the Xingfeng Sect are mostly nearing the end of their lives.
For example, Wang Hu, Yue Yao, Mo Qian, and others, although they are martial artists, have a longer lifespan than Liu Qian.
However, it will probably take him several years to go to the Haotian Secret Realm for cultivation again. By then, Liu Qian and the others will probably have turned into dust.
Therefore, resolving the lifespan issue for Liu Qian and the others was the first thing he needed to do after arriving in the Weiyang Star Region.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, a smile appeared on Liu Qian's old face.
"Sect Leader, I'm not tired at all. If it weren't for you, Liu Qian would have turned to dust long ago."
Chen Feng's words, "You've worked hard," made him feel that his life had not been in vain.
The best decision I ever made in my life was to join Chen Feng's side.
Just then, a somewhat timid voice came from the side. "Godfather."
Chen Feng immediately looked in the direction of the sound, then smiled:
"Feng Nuo has grown so much in just a few years. Hmm, his cultivation has even reached the Foundation Establishment. Very good."
Seeing the gentle smile on Chen Feng's face, Wang Fengnuo's tense expression relaxed, and she obediently asked:
"Godfather, were you cultivating some great Divine Ability? Now that you've emerged from seclusion, does that mean you've mastered Divine Ability?"
Chen Feng patted Wang Fengnuo's head. "Go pour tea for your godfather."
Hearing this, Wang Fengnuo didn't ask any more questions and went to pour tea, while Chen Feng sat in the main seat.
Liu Qian began to report to Chen Feng on the events that had occurred on Canglan Star over the years.
Chen Feng listened quietly, and an hour had passed by the time Liu Qian finished speaking.
Nothing much has happened on Canglan Star in the past seven years, and Xingfeng Sect has developed very well, attracting a large number of cultivators.
Chen Feng is too lazy to care how many people to recruit into the sect anymore; his subordinates will naturally take care of that.
The only thing that caught his attention was the emergence of a Spirit Transformation cultivator on Canglan Star in the past seven years.
This person was an acquaintance of Chen Feng's, Jiang Bohan from Wangyue City.
The other party advanced to the Spirit Transformation stage three years ago.
Chen Feng wasn't surprised that Jiang Bohan had advanced to the Nascent Spirit Transformation.
Wangyue City itself is Spirit Transformation power. Although the original Spirit Transformation has perished, it still has considerable resources.
In addition, during this period, he continuously killed Nascent Spirit Transformation to replenish the vitality of Canglan Star, which increased the vitality of Canglan Star several times over.
With a favorable natural environment and the presence of spiritual objects that can help one advance, breaking through to the Nascent Spirit Transformation is not a difficult task.
Such occurrences will gradually increase over time; a better natural environment increases the probability of cultivators breaking through to higher realms.
"A year ago, Senior Jiang came to the sect, intending to pay a visit to the sect leader, but upon learning that you were in seclusion, he left."
"But before leaving, Jiang Bohan expressed his desire to bring the cultivators from Wangyue City to join Xingfeng Sect. I didn't agree immediately; I wanted to wait for you, Sect Master, to make the decision."
Chen Feng nodded. "This person is certainly capable of both giving and receiving."
Jiang Bohan's advancement to the Spirit Transformation will undoubtedly ensure the safety of Wangyue City for the next several thousand years.
However, the other party came to join him immediately after breaking through.
This kind of courage to abandon a legacy that has been passed down for countless years is not something that ordinary people possess.
"Sect Master, what do you mean?" Liu Qian asked.
Chen Feng smiled slightly:
"If someone wants to come, how can I refuse? You send a message to him, telling him to come to the Xingfeng Sect."
Chen Feng naturally wouldn't refuse the addition of a Spirit Transformation; in the past, he would have been wary.
But now, even those at the Spirit Transformation stage are beings he can easily suppress.
As long as he's there, no matter who joins Xingfeng Sect, they won't cause any trouble.
"Okay, I'll contact them later." Liu Qian nodded.
"Sect Master, there's one more thing," Liu Qian then brought up another matter.
After listening, Chen Feng frowned.
He then disappeared with Liu Qian, leaving Wang Fengnuo, who was holding a cup of tea beside him, completely bewildered.
At that moment, Chen Feng's voice rang in her mind:
"Feng Nuo, there are Cultivation Resources on the table that I gave you. Cultivate diligently."
Wang Fengnuo immediately looked at the table, where a storage ring was placed. She picked it up and her face lit up with joy.
The storage ring contained all the resources needed for cultivation from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, as well as several very good Law Treasure.
Although Wang Fengnuo usually has a lot of Cultivation Resources, they are all obtained by exchanging contribution points.
Normally, her elders would occasionally bestow some gifts upon her, but the resources Chen Feng gave her were enough to allow her to cultivate to the Golden Core stage. How could she not be happy?
Xingfeng Sect, satellite monitoring center.
Chen Feng brought Liu Qian here, and the staff at the monitoring center all stood up and bowed to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng ignored the staff members and focused his attention on the trajectory map on the monitoring center screen.
The screen displays a map showing the trajectory of the planet Canglan in the night sky.
This trajectory map records the movement of Canglan Star in the sky over seven years.
For the first four years, Canglan Star was still traveling in space.
By the fifth year, Canglan Star had stopped moving forward and instead began to move laterally around the edge of the Weiyang Starfield.
"Is it due to gravitational binding, or some other reason?" Chen Feng asked, a look of doubt on his face.
What Liu Qian had told him before was that Canglan Star would be unable to advance through space in its fifth year.
Even when the planetary engine's power was adjusted to maximum, it had no effect.
It was as if Canglan Star was being pulled by some force.
"We analyzed a lot, including considering gravity, but after checking, we found that the force pulling on Canglan Star was not gravity. After discovering this, I had the engine adjust its direction and begin orbiting along the edge of the Weiyang Starfield."
Liu Qian replied.
"Yes, I will investigate this matter." Chen Feng nodded. The fact that Canglan Star could not leave the Weiyang Star Region must be related to the Weiyang Star Region.
However, the specific results still need to be investigated. Nevertheless, Chen Feng is not worried about anything, as long as Canglan Star is moving, that is enough.
"Sect Master, there's one last thing. Yin Yin has left?" Liu Qian then revealed another piece of news that surprised Chen Feng.
"Leave?" Chen Feng looked at Liu Qian.
"Yes, just a year ago, when Xiao Lian went to check on her in her room, she found that she wasn't in bed, but had only left behind a Jade Slip."
Liu Qian took out a Jade Slip from his person and handed it to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng took the Jade Slip and scanned it; it contained only one sentence:
[Brother, I have some things to take care of. I'll be back in a few years. Don't worry about me.]
Liu Qian, "After she left, I checked the surveillance footage, but I didn't find her leaving the room. I also asked Senior Zhengjiao to search for her, but they found nothing there either."
"Furthermore, that powerful creature in the Black Sea Abyss has also disappeared."
After listening to Liu Qian's words, Chen Feng sighed, "I understand. There's no need to send anyone to look for her anymore."
Chen Feng wasn't stupid; he had already guessed that Yin Yin was behind the several times he had escaped danger.
Take, for example, Elder Cheng from the Cultivation Alliance who attacked him back then; this person almost put him in a life-or-death situation.
If it weren't for the scroll transmitting the message, he would have already died at that man's hands.
At that time, Chen Feng was still worried that the other party would take action against the Xingfeng Sect.
But later, after he came into contact with the Cultivation Alliance, he learned that this person had already perished.
Although the Cultivation Alliance did not specify how this Spirit Transformation perished, there are very few beings on Canglan Star capable of killing Spirit Transformation.
Then, there was something that Zhengjiao told him.
That was when he triggered the Spirit Transformation Tribulation. He was in a hurry to undergo the tribulation, so he returned to Earth.
But not long after he left, a Void Refinement expert arrived on Canglan Star. The expert killed many of the creatures on Canglan Star with just his Divine Sense.
Just as the opponent was about to attack the Northern Border, that aura suddenly disappeared.
Combining these two clues, and considering that Yin Yin would faint every time this happened,
Chen Feng easily guessed that it was Yin Yin who did it.
However, he didn't ask Yin Yin anything, mainly because Yin Yin had fallen into a deep sleep again.
Although he knew that Yin Yin's identity was not simple, Yin Yin had no ill intentions towards him and even helped Xingfeng Sect and him overcome crises twice.
That's enough.
The terrifying creature from the Black Sea Abyss has now disappeared along with Yin Yin, so the two are clearly connected.
He didn't dwell on the matter any longer. If Yin Yin wanted to come back, she would. What he needed to do now was to increase his strength to deal with the crisis on Earth.
It's not too late to find her when we're strong enough.
Chen Feng then inquired with Liu Qian about the current strength of the Xingfeng Sect.
The number of space-based weapons has reached six hundred, and these six hundred space-based weapons are suspended in orbit around Canglan Star.
There are 10,000 space carriers.
Among them, there are more than one hundred space carriers forged from Lingbao materials.
These more than one hundred space carriers have all been upgraded with kinetic energy weapons and equipped with high-energy particle main cannons, making them the main carriers of the Xingfeng Sect.
Then there are the conventional motherships, numbering around five thousand in total. These motherships are equipped with nuclear missile silos and close-in weapon systems, and the forging materials are of a Law Treasure quality.
The remaining 5,000 ships were transport ships, not equipped with any advanced weapon systems, and were specifically used for transporting personnel.
The number of cultivation robots has reached one million, along with 70,000 powered armor units and over 10,000 three-phase missiles in reserve.
In addition, the weapons of the cultivators and martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect have been replaced with kinetic weapons, such as Gauss rifles and electromagnetic rifles.
Currently, weapons powered by conventional gunpowder are only produced by the Xingfeng Sect for sale; kinetic energy weapons are Xingfeng Sect's main weapons at present.
Seven years of changes have increased the strength of the Xingfeng Sect several times over, although it is still not as strong as the Void Refinement forces in the Weiyang Star Region.
But even disregarding top-tier Void Refinement combat power, the difference isn't that significant.
This is still before antimatter weapons are widely available. If antimatter weapons could be mass-produced, the strength of the Xingfeng Sect could be enhanced once again.
Chen Feng was very satisfied with the development of the Xingfeng Sect.
Afterwards, Chen Feng had Liu Qian take him on a tour of various places in the northern border.
The number of mortals has increased considerably compared to before; the mortals of Yingzhou have now all moved to the northern border.
Thanks to railways and modernization, the lives of these ordinary people are getting better day by day.
The Northern Territory is now home not only to native cultivators, but also to many cultivators from other regions.
These people are now gathered in North City.
Northern City is the second city recently built by the Xingfeng Sect in the Northern Territory.
The entire city was dozens of times larger than Xingfeng Sect.
This city was built specifically for cultivators. Many forces on Canglan Star have opened shops in the Xingfeng Sect, selling their respective specialties.
These forces only need to pay a certain fee to the Xingfeng Sect each year.
Since the Northern Territory lifted its restrictions on outside cultivators, the number of cultivators coming to Northern Territory City has increased dramatically.
The northern region was once nourished by the spiritual rain that fell after the fall of the Void Refiner.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi is comparable to that of the forbidden area where the Cultivation Alliance is located, and many cultivators rent cave abode in the city to cultivate.
In addition, since Xingfeng Sect is now the number one power on Canglan Star, there are naturally many cultivators coming here.
Who wouldn't want to admire the current number one figure on Canglan Star, Chen Beijing?
Inside the Northern City.
Chen Feng and Liu Qian strolled around the city.
On Chen Feng's shoulder, a small beast was chattering incessantly.
"Fellow Daoist, these past years have been exhausting! That brat Liu has been making me do this and that every day, it's been a real hardship for me."
This little beast was none other than Zhengjiao. Upon learning that Chen Feng had emerged from seclusion, Zhengjiao eagerly came running over.
Hearing Zheng Jiao's words, Chen Feng remained completely unmoved. He immediately asked:
"Have you been reading novels all these years? Why hasn't your spiritual power increased at all?"
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Zheng Jiao immediately became anxious:
"I haven't read novels for a long time. As for my lack of spiritual power growth, that's because I'm Demon Beast, and it's difficult to break through to a higher realm in less than several hundred years."
Liu Qian said from the side:
"Sect Master, Senior Zhengjiao has indeed helped me with many things over the years, and has always been dedicated and responsible."
Liu Qian spoke some good words for Zheng Jiao, who had indeed done a lot for him over the years and was no longer doing nothing as before.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately waved his right hand, and a red fruit appeared in his palm.
"Dragon Blood Fruit!" Zhengjiao's eyes widened.
This thing is a spiritual artifact at the Spirit Transformation level, which greatly enhances the abilities of Demon Beast like them.
"Here, take this. Shut your mouth." Chen Feng then tossed the fruit over.
Seeing this, the cunning creature lunged forward and bit the fruit.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator passing by was immediately surprised upon seeing this. "What a fine dog! Fellow Daoist, where did you buy this spirit beast?"
Chen Feng had naturally changed his appearance when he arrived in Northern Border City. If he were to appear openly on the street now, it would probably alarm all the cultivators in the entire Northern Border City.
Upon hearing the words of the Foundation Establishment cultivator beside him, Zhengjiao immediately bared his teeth and cursed, "You're the dog! I am a demon god!"
Seeing the ferocious beast's gaping maw and the terrifying aura emanating from it, the Foundation Establishment cultivator trembled and quickly bowed in apology.
"I have offended you, please forgive me, senior!"
"Get out of my sight!" Zheng glared at the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator dared not utter another word and immediately turned and fled.
Chen Feng looked at the cunning and said coldly:
"I obtained this Dragon Blood Fruit from the storage ring of a Spirit Transformation cultivator in the Nanyang Sect. It is extremely precious. If you consume this and still cannot advance to the mid- Spirit Transformation stage within twenty years, then you should stay within the sect and never leave."
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist, with this, I'm sure I can break through to the mid-stage!" Zheng Jiao said with a big smile, then swallowed the fruit whole.
