The First Exploration!

A strange starry sky.

All around was deathly silent, with only twinkling stars visible in the distance.

Just then, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared in this starry sky.

Along with the spatial vortex appeared a planet.

After the planet appeared in this starry sky, the spatial vortex also disappeared.

This planet is none other than Canglan Star.

At this moment, more than 600 Aerospace Carrier of the Xingfeng Sect are still in orbit around Canglan Star.

The astonished expressions on Liu Qian and the others' faces had not yet completely disappeared.

The moment the spatial vortex engulfed them, everyone only felt a blur before the vortex disappeared.

Liu Qian was the first to come to his senses and hurriedly ordered the space-based weapons to stop activating.

The spatial vortex has disappeared; using space-based weapons now would be a complete waste.

At this moment, Nangong Wentian looked at the distant starry sky and said with an extremely solemn expression:

"It's like we've arrived at another starry sky."

Even without Nangong Wentian, the others had already noticed that the starry sky here was completely different from the starry sky they had been in before.

First, there's the Yuan Qi and Spiritual Qi of this starry sky. In terms of sheer quality, the Spiritual Qi and Yuan Qi of this starry sky is several times higher than that of the starry sky they were in before.

Moreover, in the distance, they could see individual stars, which were clearly planets.

Moreover, the surrounding starry sky was filled with vortexes of varying sizes.

These vortexes are quite peculiar, constantly rotating in the starry sky.

Yun Qingjue's shocked voice rang out:

"It's Starry Sky Vortex! There are so many!"

Everyone was startled upon hearing the Starry Sky Vortex ".

Those present may not have seen Starry Sky Vortex, but they knew of its existence.

This thing is a teleportation channel opened up by powerful cultivators.

The Starry Sky Vortex is somewhat similar to a teleportation array.

It can greatly shorten the distance between various cultivation stars.

In the Weiyang Star Domain, there are also Starry Sky Vortex, but they are extremely rare, because those who can create Starry Sky Vortex are all top-tier powerhouses.

The Weiyang Star Domain consists mostly of naturally formed spatial rifts in the universe.

The various cultivation stars in the Weiyang Star Sphere mostly rely on Interstellar Teleportation Array established on their respective cultivation stars.

Everyone immediately guessed the truth: they, along with the entire Canglan Star, had been teleported to another star system.

And it looks like it's quite far away.

This gave everyone a chill down their spines!

Forcibly teleporting some people to other places is still within the comprehension of most people, but to teleport an entire cultivation star to another star system—what an astonishing method!

This is beyond the comprehension of most people.

Even Yun Qingjue's face showed fear.

Liu Qian then said:

"Gentlemen, now is not the time to stand here idly. Let's go back and discuss this."

Liu Qian's eyes glowed red.

Liu Qian's original mechanical body was very rudimentary, but he later acquired another mechanical body.

This mechanical body is forged entirely from Spirit Treasure materials and is inscribed with more than thirty kinds of protective formations. It is equipped with ultra-high-definition cameras for its eyes and the back of its head.

Liu Qian also covered his mechanical body with a layer of bionic skin.

His face is still the same, basically unchanged.

Everyone nodded solemnly and then went to the deck of the Carrier where Liu Qian was located.

The entire Canglan Star, including them, has appeared in an unknown starry sky. This situation definitely requires everyone to discuss and devise a strategy.

Soon, the more than 600 Carrier of the Xingfeng Sect began their return voyage.

At the same time, Canglan Star's planetary defense system also entered a state of maximum alert.

Space-based weapons in orbit and space missiles on the ground are all ready to launch; the planetary defense system will be activated should an enemy be encountered.

Xingfeng Sect Headquarters.

Liu Qian and his entourage returned to the Cabinet.

Those who were able to enter the Cabinet, besides the high-ranking members of the Xingfeng Sect, were Spirit Transformation cultivators from other forces, totaling more than a dozen people.

Everyone entered the Cabinet and sat down.

Everyone's expression was extremely solemn.

Just then, a thumping sound came from outside, and everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

A large machine, standing at least five meters tall, walked in from outside.

This machine's arms alone are twice as thick as an adult's thigh.

The machine has six cannons on each shoulder, which are six plasma cannons, while both mechanical arms are equipped with kinetic weapons.

A flight engine is also mounted on the back of the machine.

Upon seeing the machine appear, Yue Yao complained, "Wang Hu, why did you add weapons to your body again? I told you not to add any more, it will affect your speed."

A deep voice came from inside the giant machine:

"Why do we need speed? As long as we have enough strength, that's enough!"

That's right, this giant machine resembling a Gundam is Wang Hu, the third person in the Xingfeng Sect to use Consciousness Transplantation technology.

Compared to bionic robots like Liu Qian and Yue Yao.

Wang Hu didn't care about aesthetics at all; as long as it was strong and big enough, that was enough for him.

Wang Hu is now equipped with as many as thirteen different weapons, enabling him to fight even against cultivators at the Nascent Soul level.

His machine was extremely expensive to manufacture, and it used only the finest materials.

"Let's not talk about that now, we need to focus on important matters," Liu Qian interrupted their conversation.

Wang Hu didn't say anything more, but walked to one side of the main hall. He was too big to sit in the Cabinet chair.

Liu Qian addressed the crowd:

"I've already instructed the Satellite Monitoring Center to survey the surrounding starry sky. We'll have news soon. You are all cultivators, do you know what level of expert is capable of using a method that can teleport an entire cultivation planet?"

Liu Qian looked at Yun Qingjue and the others.

Xu Heng, who was standing to the side, spoke up:

"I've never heard of any powerful individual being able to teleport a planet away; even the legendary Half-Step Dao Integration Realm expert couldn't do it."

The others all had similar expressions.

Most of those present were Spirit Transformation cultivators, with extensive knowledge, but the idea of teleporting an entire planet was beyond their comprehension.

Nangong Wentian guessed and said:

"Could it be caused by a cosmic spectacle?"

Cosmic wonders are special phenomena in the universe; anything in the universe that cannot be explained can be called a cosmic wonder.

This is a phenomenon that arises naturally from the universe.

Yun Qingjue looked at Liu Qian:

"Steward Liu, have you informed Fellow Daoist Chen about this matter?"

Upon hearing Yun Qingjue mention Chen Feng, everyone looked at Liu Qian. They didn't know something, but Chen Feng might.

Chen Feng was capable of killing even Void Refinement cultivators, his level was far above theirs.

Liu Qian shook his head upon hearing this:

"I'm sorry, the sect leader is currently in seclusion."

It wasn't that Liu Qian didn't want to contact Chen Feng; Chen Feng had left a Primordial Spirit in the Xingfeng Sect twenty years ago.

As long as this wisp of Primordial Spirit is extinguished Chen Feng will be able to leave seclusion.

But before he went into seclusion, Chen Feng told him that he must not touch this wisp of primordial Primordial Spirit unless there was a crisis that would wipe out his entire sect.

The situation is far from being annihilated, so Liu Qian naturally wouldn't contact Chen Feng.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wentian said:

"Steward Liu, even if Sect Master Chen's seclusion is important at this point, is it more important than this matter?"

Just as Liu Qian was about to speak, a message was received on the screen on his arm.

Liu Qian immediately tapped a few times on the screen.

Soon, a 3D image appeared on a large screen on the Cabinet wall.

In this 3D image, planets appear, with Canglan Star prominently featured among them.

Liu Qian looked at everyone and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a 3D image of the nearby starry sky transmitted from the Satellite Monitoring Center. We have indeed arrived in an unfamiliar starry sky."

Everyone looked at the 3D image.

There are hundreds of planets shown above, varying in size, with the largest being tens of thousands of times larger than their Canglan Star.

In addition to planets, there are also many flat landmasses.

These flat landmasses are like islands floating in the sea of stars, their number no less than that of planets, and each landmass varies in size.

Yun Qingjue looked at the screen and said:

"I'm afraid we've arrived in an unknown star field. This is the first time I've seen a continent in the sky that isn't round."

The expressions on everyone's faces turned serious once again.

Unknown star regions represent unknown dangers, and judging from the number of planets and landmasses, they are significantly larger than those in the Weiyang Star Domain.

Liu Qian pointed to the three landmasses closest to Canglan Star on the screen:

"These are the three closest landmasses to our Canglan Star, about three star rivers away. The only way to find out what star region this is is to send people to make contact."

When you arrive in an unknown place, it's essential to explore nature.

Furthermore, they also wanted to find out why Canglan Star appeared here.

The distance between the three star rivers is three light-years, which would take Spirit Transformation cultivator hundreds of years to reach.

However, there are Starry Sky Vortex Starry Sky Vortex around Canglan Star, which obviously allow one to travel to more distant places.

But this carries unknown risks.

Xu Heng immediately said:

"I'll lead a group to explore."

Everyone looked at Xu Heng; none of them had expected Xu Heng to choose to go on his own initiative.

Xu Heng said with a smile:

"We have to make contact with them; all we can do here is speculate, can't we?"

At this moment, Nangong Wentian also spoke up:

"Count me in too."

"I'm going too!" Wang Hu stepped out, his massive mechanical body moving with him.

He was very excited at this moment. Nothing had happened on Canglan Star in the past twenty years, and after his mechanical body was modified, he didn't even have a chance to fight.

Now that he can go out, he naturally doesn't want to miss it.

Liu Qian glanced at the three men, then nodded. "Alright, then the three of you can lead the team there. I'll arrange for a fleet to accompany you."

Exploring the unknown starry sky, Xingfeng Sect now possesses the capability to do so.

For the Xingfeng Sect, Aerospace Carrier have no problem fighting in space.

Moreover, even if Wang Hu and the others encounter danger, they can still escape using the speed of the Aerospace Carrier.

With the addition of electromagnetic wave communication, Wang Hu and the others can also contact Canglan Star at any time.

After agreeing on the matter of sending out personnel, Yun Qingjue suddenly said:

Should we inform all factions about this?

The spatial vortex only appeared for a moment, but many people on Canglan Star still noticed it, though they didn't know why.

All the major powers on Canglan Star are now waiting for the Xingfeng Sect to provide an explanation.

Liu Qian hesitated for a moment:

"Let's keep this matter a secret for now. I ask you all to reassure the various factions after you return, and we'll make a decision after Wang Hu and his group have finished their exploration."

Once the news spreads that Canglan Star has appeared in another part of the starry sky, the Canglan Star will likely be thrown into panic again.

Moreover, informing other factions did not solve the problem.

Yun Qingjue and the others nodded, and then left Xingfeng Sect.

Liu Qian looked at Wang Hu and said:

"Just to be on the safe side, bring the Pupil of Annihilation with you this time, along with ten Return to the Ruins Stone."

Chen Feng did not bring the Pupil of Annihilation, this antimatter sniper rifle, back to Earth; instead, he left it with the Xingfeng Sect.

This object is extremely powerful; it can pose a great threat even to cultivators at the Void Refinement stage.

Wang Hu did not refuse upon hearing this.

"Good!"

After the Cabinet meeting concluded, Xingfeng Sect also began mobilizing its manpower.

Since this was an exploration mission, only ten Aerospace Carrier were deployed.

These ten are the most advanced Aerospace Carrier currently in the Xingfeng Sect.

Each ship is constructed using top-tier materials and is fully equipped with kinetic weapons.

The Internal Affairs Pavilion of the Xingfeng Sect also issued the mission for this exploration.

The Contribution Points offered were extremely high, and many people from the Xingfeng Sect wanted to sign up for this operation.

Contribution Points for the Xingfeng Sect are extremely difficult to obtain.

Many people are unable to exchange for the precious spiritual items in the treasure vault because they lack Contribution Points, so there are a lot of people signing up this time.

A day later, the team for this exploration expedition was finally assembled.

The team was small, with only about fifty people.

Among them, there were twelve cultivators at the Nascent Soul level, and the rest were at least Golden Core cultivators.

With the addition of Xu Heng and Nangong Wentian, both Nascent Spirit Transformation, this fighting force is enough to sweep away the other forces on Canglan Star.

In addition, there are 50,000 cultivator robots operating together.

Xingfeng Sect, in the square.

Wang Hu, his massive mechanical body standing on the Carrier's deck, said to Liu Qian, "Fengnuo is in your hands now!"

Liu Qian nodded:

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her."

On the other side, Ye Yuting looked at Xu Heng and said, "Senior brother, be careful!"

Ye Yuting knew very well why her senior brother had taken the risk of accepting this mission; all the Cultivation Resources of the Xingfeng Sect had to be exchanged for Contribution Points.

Xu Heng can only take risks if he wants to advance further.

Xu Heng nodded without saying anything more.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Wang Hu waved his mechanical hand and shouted, "Let's go!"

As Wang Hu finished speaking, the ten Aerospace Carrier immediately transformed into streaks of light and headed towards the starry sky.

After the Aerospace Carrier disappeared, Liu Qian did not stay there any longer; he quickly went to the Cabinet.

He needs to prepare for what's to come.

Everyone knows whether danger will befall Canglan Star, so it is essential to prepare for battle in advance.

On the other side, Yue Yao said to the Haili beside her:

"Elder Sister Haili, when do you think the sect leader will emerge from seclusion? It's been twenty years already."

Beside Yue Yao, a green-haired Haili stood quietly.

Twenty years have passed, and her cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Demon Beast typically break through realms slowly, so her breakthrough of a minor realm in just twenty years was already considered remarkably fast.

The Haili pinched Haili bionic skin. "What? Are you missing the sect leader?"

Yue Yao, who had been pinched twice, quickly took a few steps back and said with dissatisfaction:

"This skin material is very precious. If you damage it, you'll have to compensate me with Contribution Points."

"It's just skin made from Cold Jade Crystal, right? Let me squeeze it a bit more. I'll compensate you for the materials if I ruin it." With that, the Haili reached out and squeezed it again.

Nangong Yanyue, standing nearby, watched the two playfully bickering in silence.

She wasn't as carefree as those two; they still had the energy to joke around at a time like this.

For some reason, she had a feeling that something big was going to happen.
