Sect Grand Competition

Lin Wei, who was standing next to her, laughed when she heard this.

"Xiaorou's words make a lot of sense."

Chen Feng didn't care about the two women's teasing; he was used to it.

The three of them started chatting in the coffee shop.

During this time, Chen Feng inquired about Li Xiaorou's transaction with the Mara Clan.

According to Li Xiaorou, the Mara Clan has made more than forty transactions in the past two years, with the transactions becoming more frequent over time, and each time they have sought to purchase large quantities of goods.

Especially in the area of Law Treasure for cultivating immortality and Law Artifact.

After asking around, Chen Feng finally understood the reason.

Although the Mara Clan purchased alchemy and Pill Formula books, after two years, Mara Clan mastery of both knowledge was simply appalling.

The entire Mara Clan has fewer than ten members who have mastered alchemy and weapon crafting.

Therefore, the Mara Clan quickly abandoned these two skills and instead chose to purchase them directly.

Chen Feng was surprised but not entirely astonished by this.

The Mara Clan is entirely an evolved race, and they are indeed not very good at things involving knowledge.

After all, the fact that a civilization has developed for countless years without experiencing an industrial revolution like that of humankind speaks volumes.

This situation arises because of the characteristics of racial evolution.

Humans, though born weak, are capable of learning and innovation, using tools and the environment to grow stronger.

The Mara Clan is strong from birth; they only need to eat and devour to become stronger, so naturally their learning ability is very poor.

"Boss, although I've reduced the amount of supplies I sell to them over the past two years, the supplies you gave me last time are almost all used up."

Li Xiaorou spoke up at the opportune moment.

Chen Feng nodded. "I'll give you another batch later. There won't be any restrictions on the sale of low-grade pills and materials anymore; just give them as many as they want."

Since the Mara Clan doesn't intend to refine pills and forge weapons themselves, Chen Feng naturally doesn't mind selling them more.

The Mara Clan has many good things, including resources that are not found in the Painting Scroll World.

Putting everything else aside, the value of those Yuan Crystal alone is extraordinary.

Lin Wei had previously told him that the production of highly concentrated antimatter required Yuan Crystal, and that this resource was currently only available to the Mara Clan.

Lin Wei then took out more than a dozen Storage Ring from her person.

"These are resources traded from the Mara Clan. I kept some for research, and the rest are here."

Chen Feng took the Storage Ring and glanced at it. It was filled with mountains of supplies, including a large number of rare resources.

If we consider only value...

The contents of these dozen or so Storage Ring are worth over thirty million Yuan Stone.

The Storage Ring he gave Li Xiaorou last time contained items worth no more than 300,000 Yuan Stone.

This is the enormous profit generated by information asymmetry.

Selling things that others don't have is always the most profitable.

It's important to know that this was only a limited sale at Chen Feng Li Xiaorou's request; if it were sold freely to the Mara Clan, the profits would be even greater.

With the Mara Clan as a stable source of income, he no longer needs to worry about the Xingfeng Sect running out of Yuan Stone.

Antimatter Warship and antimatter weapons can now be mass-produced.

"I'll go prepare the supplies first, and I'll come back to find you in a few days."

Chen Feng stood up; he needed to go back to the Painting Scroll World.

Two years have passed here, but twenty years have passed in the Painting Scroll World.

Although there are immortal corpse puppets guarding the area, and nothing major has happened in the past twenty years, I still have to go back and take a look.

"Huh? Boss, you're just leaving already? Didn't you say you were going to take us to Mars?"

Li Xiaorou's face immediately fell.

Lin Wei, standing nearby, advised, "Xiaorou, since he promised, he'll definitely take us. Don't worry."

"Alright." Although Li Xiaorou was reluctant to part with Chen Feng, she knew that preparing supplies for the Mara Clan was more important.

Chen Feng smiled and said:

"I'll be back in two weeks at most, wait for me."

After saying that, Chen Feng's figure disappeared from the spot.

Painting Scroll World, the Canglan Star.

Twenty years have passed, and the changes on Canglan Star have been tremendous.

The environment of Canglan Star has reached a new level in the past twenty years.

Both Spiritual Qi and Yuan Qi are abundant.

Everywhere on Canglan Star is a sacred place for cultivation.

Due to changes in the environment, the number of cultivators on Canglan Star has increased several times over in recent years.

Many new cultivation forces have emerged within Canglan Star, and Canglan Star now presents a scene of a golden age of cultivation.

The Xingfeng Sect has also developed significantly over the past two decades.

Today, Xingfeng Sect has branches and bases all over Canglan Star.

Numerous missile silos have been built within these bases and branches.

The number of missile silos has reached an astonishing 100,000.

These missile silos are connected to the internal network of the Xingfeng Sect. If an enemy invasion is detected outside Canglan Star, these ground-based missile silos can launch as many as 100,000 nuclear missiles within one minute.

In addition to the missile silos, each division is also equipped with Star-Annihilating Cannon, with almost every division having one.

These Star-Annihilating Cannon are only used as a last resort.

This only includes the ground-based weapon systems.

Space stations of Xiaoxiao are almost everywhere in the orbit around Canglan Star Canglan Star.

Some space stations have been converted into docking ports for Aerospace Carrier, while others are used as space bases.

There are more than 30,000 Aerospace Carrier permanently stationed here.

More than a decade ago, Liu Qian and others made the decision to move most of the Aerospace Carrier into orbit.

This also allows the fleet to enter a state of combat readiness immediately.

Besides the space station, there are also numerous satellites and space-based weapons in orbit.

There are as many as 60,000 low-orbit and high-orbit satellites combined. Today, the Xingfeng Sect has completely broken away from traditional communication and uses satellite communication as its sole means.

The number of space-based weapons has reached more than 10,000.

These space-based weapons are not the initial ones, but rather improved second-generation ones, which are much stronger than the first generation in terms of both power and range.

The current Canglan Star can be considered a war fortress that can move in space.

For beings below the Dao Integration, breaking through the defenses of Canglan Star is virtually impossible.

Ten years ago, Liu Qian returned to Canglan Star to take charge, completely handing over the branch in the Ming Province Continent to others.

In recent years, the name of Canglan Star has become known to the forces within the Nine Great Star Domains.

When people learned that Xingfeng Sect came from a small star, they were very surprised, which made them curious about how Xingfeng Sect rose to power.

As the investigation into the Xingfeng Sect deepened, the information obtained became increasingly shocking to the major powers.

In just a few hundred years, Xingfeng Sect has grown from an unknown small force to a dominant force in the star field.

This is simply unbelievable!

Many people realize that Xingfeng Sect must have some great secret, otherwise it couldn't have developed so quickly.

In particular, the experience of Chen of the Northern Territory, the leader of the Xingfeng Sect, can only be described as unbelievable.

From an ordinary mortal, it took him less than a few hundred years.

Even if someone were a reincarnated immortal, they probably wouldn't grow at this rate.

Many people already believe that Chen of the Northern Territory is the number one prodigy in the Nine Great Star Domains, and that it won't be long before he breaks through to the Dao Integration and enters the top level of the star regions.

Most people in the Nine Great Star Domains were unaware of Chen Feng's true strength.

The Dao Integration of the Xingfeng Sect are generally believed to be the Immortal Corpse Puppet, Xiao Tong, and Yinyin.

In the minds of cultivators in the Nine Great Star Domains, Chen Feng was only at the Half-Step Dao Integration level.

Many people still believe that Chen of the Northern Territory is only at the Peak Void Refinement.

Even if it's just the Void Refinement, that's terrifying enough.

Throughout the history of the Nine Great Star Domains, there has never been a cultivator who has reached the Void Refinement for several hundred years, let alone someone like Chen Feng who broke through from a first-order mortal to the Void Refinement.

As Xingfeng Sect's influence has grown, many forces have frequently traveled to Canglan Star in recent years to pay a visit to Sect Master Chen.

Unfortunately, twenty years ago, this Sect Master Chen announced that he had gone into seclusion.

He has not shown up yet.

This disappointed many cultivators who went to Canglan Star.

Xingfeng Sect Xingfeng Sect didn't pay much attention to the various discussions from the outside world, and they didn't stop outside cultivators from coming to Canglan Star.

Now that Xingfeng Sect has established a firm foothold in the Nine Great Star Domains, it naturally doesn't need to be as cautious as before.

At this moment, Xingfeng Sect was bustling with activity.

The plaza in front of the main hall of the Xingfeng Sect was packed with a dense crowd, both in the air and on the ground.

Today is the day of the Xingfeng Sect) youth generation competition.

The Grand Competition is an event that Xingfeng Sect started ten years ago and is held every three years.

Any disciple of the Xingfeng Sect who is under thirty years old and whose cultivation level is not lower than Foundation Establishment can apply to participate.

The top ten finishers in the competition will receive generous rewards.

This activity was proposed by Wang Fengnuo and Liu Qian.

Liu Qian naturally did not refuse and entrusted the matter entirely to Wang Fengnuo.

This is also a form of decentralization.

The Xingfeng Sect now has a new generation of young people, just like other factions. Some of these people's fathers were from the Xingfeng Sect, and they were born and raised in the Xingfeng Sect, making them direct descendants of the Xingfeng Sect.

Others are geniuses recruited from outside in recent decades.

Such sect competitions are a common occurrence in other factions.

However, Xingfeng Sect had never done this before, for many reasons. Previously, Xingfeng Sect had very few members, and its development time was short, so the people it recruited were not young people.

Furthermore, since the Xingfeng Sect at that time had very few martial artists and cultivators, it was definitely difficult to organize such a sect competition.

But now, a century has passed, and Xingfeng Sect has the same foundation as other major cultivation sects, and it has no shortage of young disciples, so it can naturally hold such a sect competition.

The main hall square is divided into ten suspended arenas.

On these ten suspended arenas, cultivators are engaged in fierce battles.

In the Xingfeng Sect's arena matches, aside from the prohibition of high-powered weapons, power armor and kinetic firearms are permitted.

The rules were set by Wang Fengnuo. In her view, Xingfeng Sect was not a purely cultivation sect, but a combination of technology and cultivation.

This kind of competition greatly increases the uncertainty.

With the addition of technological weapons, fighting against opponents of higher levels is now commonplace.

The competition has been going on for several days, and today is the last day, the day when the top ten will be truly determined.

Therefore, the competition that day was exceptionally fierce.

This competition wasn't just being watched by people from the Xingfeng Sect headquarters; at least a hundred drones were hovering in the sky, broadcasting the sect competition live.

The live stream was watched by personnel from various branches of the Xingfeng Sect and those on missions in the field.

Liu Qian and Haili, along with other elders, did not participate in this sect competition, leaving it entirely to Wang Fengnuo and other senior deacons.

On an Antimatter Warship, Liu Qian, Haili, Yue Yao, and others were all gathered.

The crowd watched the fight below while discussing it.

"Haili, who do you think will win this competition?"

He Menghan looked at the Haili and asked.

He Menghan is now considered a veteran of the Xingfeng Sect, currently in charge of the Xingfeng Sect branches in various locations on Canglan Star. She has truly entered the core circle, and not long ago she successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Haili glanced at the stands below and said with a smile:

"There's a good chance it's two people: Tang Xiaoxiao and Chang Yan."

Upon hearing this, He Menghan said in surprise:

"Tang Xiaoxiao is Elder Yun's disciple, so I'm not surprised that you value her. But Chang Yan doesn't seem to have anything special about him, and his cultivation level is only at the Early Golden Core. There are quite a few Late Golden Core stages among the top ten."

The Haili looked on with amusement:

"Sister He, how about we make a bet? I'll bet that Chang Yan can get first place, what do you say?"

He Menghan became interested. "What are we betting on?"

Yue Yao, who had been silent until now, quickly chimed in, "I want to bet too!"

Haili completely ignored Yue Yao and instead looked at He Menghan, saying:

"If I win, the next time you see the sect leader, you'll go and hug him, okay? But I have to make it clear, it has to be the sect leader in his true form, not his puppet clone."

Hearing this, He Menghan's face immediately turned red.

She wouldn't dare take such a gamble.

Yue Yao, standing next to her, became excited:

"I bet you, Haili! If you lose, you'll revert to your original form and bark like a dog in front of the sect leader!"

Upon hearing this, Haili's face immediately darkened, and she directly unleashed a burst of Spiritual Power towards Yue Yao.

The Spiritual Power transformed into ropes that bound Yue Yao's body, rendering her completely immobile.

"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak. Did I say I wanted to bet with you?" Haili said angrily. Seemingly still not satisfied, she took out a leather whip from her Storage Ring and lashed it directly at Yue Yao.

Fortunately, Yue Yao now has a mechanical body; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to withstand that whip.

Yue Yao glared at the Haili, her eyes wide with anger. "Fine, I won't gamble then! Why are you attacking me? Yanyue, save me!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yanyue, who was standing to the side, immediately reached out and gently touched it.

The Spiritual Power rope that had bound Yue Yao disappeared instantly.

Haili glanced at Nangong Yanyue, who had made the move, but remained silent. Although she had already broken through to the Spirit Transformation.

But Nangong Yanyue had already reached the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage, and she was no match for her.

The people nearby showed no change in expression upon witnessing this scene.

The two girls often bickered like this, and they were used to it.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Liu Qian couldn't help but step in to smooth things over:

"If you're going to bet, bet on something else, not this weird stuff. I'll put up 10,000 Contribution Points and bet on Tang Xiaoxiao winning."

Seeing that Liu Qian had spoken, Haili and Yue Yao stopped arguing.

"Alright, let's bet Contribution Points then. I'm betting on Chang Yan, and I'll play along no matter how many Contribution Points you bet." Haili seemed very confident.

Yue Yao immediately said:

"I'm betting on Tang Xiaoxiao to win. Ten thousand Contribution Points, you'll lose everything!"

Just then, Chen Feng's voice suddenly rang out beside them:

What should we bet on?

Upon hearing the sound, the group immediately looked in the direction of the noise.

Suddenly, Chen Feng appeared beside them, smiling at them.
