On Dao Integration

Qiong Leizi never imagined that Chen Feng would make a move against Cang Yuelan.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was incredibly audacious.

If anything happens to Cang Yuelan, the Sea Chariot Clan will be furious. At that time, not only will Xingfeng Sect be destroyed, but their Thunder Palace will also be finished.

In the Dinghai Starfield, no one could withstand the wrath of the Sea Fork Clan.

However, Chen Feng completely ignored Qiong Leizi's words and continued to bombard the light screen.

Each bombardment caused the starry sky to tremble violently.

In just a few breaths, the protective light barrier surrounding Cang Yuelan shattered instantly.

At the same time, Cang Yuelan was also captured by Chen Feng.

Cang Yuelan was only at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm. Facing Chen Feng, who could kill a peak Void Refinement cultivator with a single punch, she had absolutely no ability to resist.

Even if she still had a few trump cards up her sleeve, she couldn't even open her spatial storage while Chen Feng was holding her back.

"Hand over the Yuan Soul." Chen Feng's voice was icy.

Although Cang Yuelan was restrained, she didn't show much fear. "Don't even think about it!"

As the Holy Maiden of the Sea Chariot Clan, Cang Yuelan possessed her own pride; how could she possibly hand over her primordial spirit?

Without further ado, Chen Feng raised his hand and slapped Cang Yuelan across the face.

Cang Yuelan's face instantly swelled up like a pig's head.

That wasn't all. Chen Feng then used the power of the stars to erode Cang Yuelan's body, causing her to let out painful screams.

Fifteen minutes later.

The screams in the starry sky ceased.

At this moment, Cang Yuelan no longer resembled a saintess at all. Her clothes were tattered and torn, and half of her snow-white skin was exposed.

His body was covered with countless scars.

At this moment, Cang Yuelan was lying motionless in the starry sky.

"Take her back and get her ready. Have her come see me later," Chen Feng said.

At this moment, he held a wisp of primordial spirit in his hand, which was given to him by Cang Yuelan.

Under Chen Feng's various methods of torture, even though Cang Yuelan was a saintess, she couldn't withstand it at all. The power of the stars brought extremely strong piercing power, and once it entered the enemy's body or Primordial Spirit, it would cause great pain.

Those Void Refinement cultivators captured by Chen Feng were able to open their mustard seed spaces so readily only because they had been tortured to the point of near death by Chen Feng before they finally gave in.

"Okay, okay," Qiong Leizi replied quickly from the side.

He was now covered in cold sweat; he had just witnessed how Chen Feng had tortured Cang Yuelan.

That showed absolutely no mercy or pity.

This made Qiong Leizi glad that she had surrendered instead of resisting.

Inside Chen Feng's cave abode on the continent of Mingzhou.

Cang Yuelan changed into a clean dress and went into the cave abode.

Chen Feng sat cross-legged opposite her.

Cang Yuelan looked at Chen Feng and said:

"Even if you take my soul essence, it's useless. A cultivator at the Void Refinement stage might not be able to tell that my soul essence is missing, but the Holy Lord of my Sea Chariot Clan can see through it at a glance."

Cang Yuelan looked at Chen Feng with fear in her eyes. She had hardly suffered any hardship growing up.

The torment she suffered at Chen Feng Chen Feng's hands filled her with both hatred and fear towards him.

"Holy Lord? What level of power is that?" Chen Feng inquired.

He only learned some information about the Sea Fork Clan from Qiong Lei Zi, and he didn't really know the specifics.

"Holy Lord is a title that only Dao Integration Realm experts can have. There are two Holy Lords at the Dao Integration Realm in my clan, one of whom is my father." Cang Yuelan said, word by word.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Feng's expression.

To her disappointment, Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged.

Chen Feng asked, "What is the realm of Dao Integration?"

The Sea Fork Clan possessed two true Dao Integration experts, which Chen Feng hadn't expected. He had originally thought the Sea Fork Clan only had half-step Dao Integration experts.

After all, the Weiyang Star Region only has Li Songxuan, a half-step Dao Integration cultivator.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's question, Cang Yuelan's face showed longing:

"Those who have reached the Dao Integration stage are truly transcendent beings. The nature of the power they wield is completely different from that of us Void Refinement cultivators. Void Refinement cultivators condense threads of Principle while undergoing a qualitative change in their Primordial Spirit, while Dao Integration cultivators condense these threads of Principle into Dao Fruits."

"Once the Dao Fruit is achieved, the Primordial Spirit and the physical body truly become one."

"If refining to emptiness is about applying and controlling the Principle, then merging with the Dao is about replacing the Principle; such a powerful being inherently represents a part of the Principle."

After hearing Cang Yuelan's description, Chen Feng frowned:

"That's all. What about their actual strength?"

Cang Yuelan did not specify how strong a Dao Integration cultivator was, but only gave a vague concept.

Cang Yuelan shook her head:

"I don't know anything else. Although my father was a Dao Integration Realm expert, I haven't seen him for over a thousand years. Experts of this level don't usually live in this universe; they reside in a special world, a place where time and space are connected."

"A place where time and space are connected," Chen Feng mused.

He felt that this special world was likely related to space and time. He had previously guessed that experts at the Dao Integration level must have mastered a deeper level of power.

"Since the Sea Fork Clan has two Dao Integration Realm experts, why don't they conquer all the surrounding star systems?"

Chen Feng has become a problem again.

This was also his biggest question: two Dao Integration Realm experts—this was a strength that almost completely overwhelmed other star regions.

Although he had never fought against a Dao Integration Realm expert, he knew how powerful a half-step Dao Integration Realm expert was.

At that time, Li Songxuan almost destroyed his physical body with just one strike.

With such strength, the Sea Fork Clan should have been able to conquer the surrounding star systems long ago.

Cang Yuelan gave Chen Feng a strange look:

"Are you really a cultivator from the surrounding star regions?"

"I'll ask, you answer," Chen Feng said calmly.

Although Cang Yuelan found it strange that Chen Feng didn't even know about this, she couldn't say much since her Yuan Soul was now in his hands.

"Although Dao Integration Realm experts are powerful, they cannot be attacked casually. Every time they attack, it causes great damage to the rules of our star sea. Therefore, most Dao Integration Realm experts reside in that special space."

"As for what I mean by the Star Sea, it's a general term for this region we're in. It includes over six thousand star regions within my Dinghai Star Region, all of which are part of the same Star Sea. As for what lies at the end of the Star Sea, only those Dao Integration Realm experts know."

"And our Sea Fork Clan's Central Star Sea was named after the Star Sea itself."

"Of these more than six thousand star regions, only a few possess Spiritual Qi, and ninety percent of them are desolate. However, within a radius of fifty star rivers around our Dinghai Star Region, there are nine major star regions, each with a Dao Integration level expert presiding over them."

"A star field without a Dao Integration Realm expert would have been wiped out long ago. Wars between star fields are not so simple."

After listening to Cang Yuelan's words, Chen Feng felt that he had gained a better understanding of this world.

It now appears that the star field of the Painting Scroll World is a star system similar to our solar system, consisting of several stars and multiple planets.

As for this sea of stars, he estimated that it should be a large galaxy similar to Earth's Milky Way.

However, because this universe doesn't prioritize technological development, they only have access to this information.

Chen Feng finally understood why the Dinghai Star Region hadn't invaded other star regions.

Each star field has a Dao Integration expert in charge, so even if the Sea Fork Clan has two Dao Integration experts, other star fields shouldn't be too wary.

But soon, Chen Feng thought of another problem.

According to Cang Yuelan, only starfields with Dao Integration experts can exist. So what about the Weiyang Starfield?

In the entire Weiyang Starfield, there is only one half-step Dao Integration expert, Li Songxuan.

"Among these nine star regions, is there one called the Weiyang Star Region?" Chen Feng asked Cang Yuelan.

Cang Yuelan nodded without hesitation:

"Of course, the Weiyang Star Region ranks last among the nine star regions; however, no Dao Integration Realm experts from this star region have appeared for many years."

Chen Feng asked again:

Who is the Dao Integration expert in the Weiyang Star Region?

The news that there was a Dao Integration expert in the Weiyang Star Region surprised Chen Feng quite a bit.

The strongest in the Star Palace is clearly Li Songxuan; he has never heard of any Dao Integration Realm expert in the Weiyang Star Region.

Cang Yuelan answered without hesitation:

"A star lord of the era, Weiyang Heaven. My clan's records only mention his name; I know nothing else about him."

Chen Feng secretly memorized the name "Weiyangtian".

It seems I need to think long-term before returning to the Weiyang Star Region to seek revenge.

After that, Chen Feng asked Cang Yuelan many questions, things he had never encountered before.

The Sea Fork Clan truly lived up to its reputation as a force with two Dao Integration level experts; the various intelligence Cang Yuelan possessed gave Chen Feng a deeper understanding of this world.

In particular, regarding the situation in several surrounding star systems.

The distance between the Weiyang Starfield and the Dinghai Starfield is as far as thirty galaxies. To return to the Dinghai Starfield, one would need to pass through more than a thousand star vortexes, which would take at least a dozen years.

When Chen Feng asked if there were any methods to teleport a planet across star systems, Cang Yuelan said she had never seen one either.

This made Chen Feng even more wary of the being who brought Canglan Star to Dinghai Star Region.

He disliked those powerful individuals who slew in the shadows the most.

Chen Feng then inquired about the Sea Chariot Clan from Cang Yuelan.

The entire Sea Fork Clan has more than fifty cultivators at the Void Refinement stage.

There were as many as seven experts at the half-step Dao Integration level.

These seven people are also the current seven elders of the Sea Chariot Clan. Since the Dao Integration Realm experts rarely appear, these seven people are currently handling all matters for the Sea Chariot Clan.

Below the clan elders are the Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

Chen Feng couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Sea Fork Clan; the number of half-step Dao Integration experts alone probably far exceeded that of other star regions.

In the Weiyang Star Region, only Li Songxuan has reached the half-step Dao Integration stage.

Finally, Chen Feng inquired about the Immortal Realm Secret Realm.

According to Cang Yuelan, there are still nearly fifty years before the Immortal Realm opens. Currently, two star domain forces have entered the Central Star Domain, one of which is the Void Spirit Clan that Chen Feng is familiar with.

"Because their star field is about to be destroyed, the Void Spirit Clan entered the Dinghai Star Field this time not only to explore the Immortal Realm's secret realm, but also hoping that my Sea Fork Clan would help them take over a star field. They have already reached a cooperation agreement with my second brother," Cang Yuelan explained to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng simply nodded upon hearing this.

He was fairly familiar with the situation of the Void Spirit Clan, but after listening to Cang Yuelan's explanation, he learned even more.

The second brother that Cang Yuelan mentioned is the second holy son of the Haicha tribe and a popular candidate to succeed the Haicha tribe chief.

The fact that the other party has reached a cooperation agreement with the Voidlings clearly indicates that they want to use the power of the Voidlings to help them obtain the position of heir.

The Sea Fork Clan is actually no different from some large Lineage; internal strife also exists within them.

For example, these holy sons and daughters, if they want to obtain the position of clan leader, they must produce remarkable achievements. These achievements are not only based on strength, but also on other aspects.

The number of vassal states it possesses is the most important factor.

This is why other forces in the Dinghai Star Region would all submit to the command of a certain holy son or holy daughter.

After obtaining a considerable amount of information, Chen Feng looked at Cang Yuelan and said:

"I won't control you for long. At most, I'll return your Yuan Soul to you in fifty years. But during these fifty years, I need to do some things for you. Don't worry, what I need you to do won't harm the Sea Chariot Clan."

Upon hearing this, Cang Yuelan was somewhat surprised. "Is this true?"

Cang Yuelan had already made plans; she would contact her father after returning to the clan to inform him of the matter.

Although this would destroy her primordial spirit, severely damage her foundation, and thus disqualify her from competing for the clan leader's succession, she did not want to be controlled by others forever.

As a woman favored by heaven, she possessed her own pride.

But now, Chen Feng is saying that he will give her freedom in fifty years, which surprises her greatly.

Fifty years may be a long time for ordinary people, but for cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, it is just one period of secluded meditation.

"I have no reason to lie to you," Chen Feng said calmly.

Cang Yuelan looked at Chen Feng's calm eyes and said, "Alright, I agree. What do you need me to do? Help you secure a spot to enter the Immortal Realm Secret Realm?"

Chen Feng shook his head:

"I'm not interested in that. You just need to help me fend off the trouble from the Sea Fork Tribe."

Chen Feng had absolutely no interest in this celestial realm.

First of all, the cultivation Cultivation Method he uses is very special; it only requires refining planets. The Immortal Realm might contain many precious treasures, but he doesn't want to waste his time going in.

The crisis on the other side of Earth is what he needs to solve most.

"Is this all?" Cang Yuelan asked uncertainly.

Chen Feng's conditions were simply too easy.

"Well, that's all. You can consider us partners. If you can provide enough spirit stones, Xingfeng Sect can also help you with some things."

Chen Feng was not a greedy person, although he could threaten the other party with his Yuan Soul to give him a lot of resources.

But this will undoubtedly drive the opponent to fight to the death.

Yuanpo can restrain Qiong Leizi, but Cang Yuelan, as the Holy Maiden of the Haicha Clan, has a true Dao Integration expert standing behind her, and may have a way to solve this problem.

Therefore, it would be better to cooperate with both parties and get what each needs.

He already has enough trouble on his hands, and he doesn't want to invite any more.

Actually, if those two Sea Fork Clan members hadn't injured Jiang Bohan Chen Feng wouldn't have intervened, thus provoking that so-called Sixth Holy Son.

Chen Feng didn't really take the Sea Chariot Clan's holy son seriously.

But he's experienced far too many things like this, from the youngest to the oldest.

"Okay, I'll handle things with Lao Liu." Cang Yuelan's expression also relaxed.

Chen Feng didn't seem to be lying to her.

Anyway, it's only fifty years, she can afford to wait.

"That's settled then, you can go now." Chen Feng waved his hand, indicating that Cang Yuelan could leave.

Upon hearing this, Cang Yuelan immediately transformed into a beam of light and flew away without hesitation.

Cang Yuelan only stopped after flying out of the Underworld Continent.

What exactly is this person's purpose?

Cang Yuelan simply couldn't understand Chen Feng's purpose in doing this.

As for Chen Feng's earlier promise to help him fend off trouble from the Sea Chariot Clan, Cang Yuelan simply didn't believe it.

For something like this, the other side wouldn't have gone to such lengths, killing several Void Refinement cultivators and even taking her into custody.

"Given time, we should be able to figure out what this person's purpose is." Cang Yuelan didn't think any further. She immediately summoned her seashell and headed towards the depths of the starry sky.

Having been tormented by Chen Feng before, Cang Yuelan still harbors psychological trauma.

She no longer dared to stay there.
