Something Happened

Unable to immediately restore his Dao Fruit, Chen Feng didn't dwell on it any longer; he needed to verify something else.

Chen Feng's figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had arrived on a planet.

This is a barren planet, devoid of any life, not even plants, and entirely covered in yellow sand.

This is the planet that Chen Feng saw in the scroll before.

In front of Chen Feng were several small hills, which were connected together, but at this moment a clearing suddenly appeared in the middle.

The open space was unusually flat, with even a large area of yellow sand left untouched.

"Erase it?" Chen Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and a storm raged in his heart.

He never imagined that the painting would possess such incredible power.

What he erased on the painting also erased things in reality.

Doesn't this mean that as long as they are within the painting's coverage area, he can kill whomever he wants?

"What level of treasure is this scroll?" Chen Feng was now completely bewildered.

He once thought the scroll was Innate Spirit Treasure, but after learning about Innate Spirit Treasure, he denied it. Recently, he even thought that the scroll might be the so-called world-opening treasure of the Xuanhuang Realm.

However, even the most powerful treasures that have opened up new realms probably don't possess such heaven-defying abilities.

Chen Feng then sensed the painting again, but the sense of control had disappeared, clearly because the Dao Fruit within his body could not support the modification of the content on the painting.

Modification—this is the new ability Chen Feng defined for the painting scroll.

He simply doesn't yet know what the cost of this modification will be.

It shouldn't be just the power of a simple Dao Fruit.

"Now I can continue cultivating the Greater Celestial Circuit Circulation Star Refining Technique." Chen Feng temporarily abandoned thinking about the source of the power to destroy and modify abilities.

This can only be attempted after the Dao Fruit has recovered.

Now that he has achieved Dao Integration, his Primordial Spirit has greatly increased, and condensing more star cores is no longer a problem.

He cannot absorb the planets in the Painting Scroll World; he can only mobilize the stellar energy they possess.

However, there are no such concerns in the modern world. Their universe is completely different from ours, and refining star cores will not incur any repercussions in that universe.

Even if targeted, the power of the heavenly tribulation that descends is pitifully small.

Chen Feng did not stay on this planet for long; he immediately returned to the Xingfeng Sect.

After returning to the Xingfeng Sect, Chen Feng first went to the cave abode.

Yin Yin is currently in seclusion, and it's clear that her personal tribulation is not coming anytime soon.

Chen Feng was able to move so fast because he was quite special.

He then returned to his cave abode, where the immortal corpse puppet still cave abode.

Without Chen Feng's divided soul, the Immortal Corpse Puppet is just an inanimate object.

Chen Feng immediately sent his divided soul into the body of the immortal corpse puppet, and soon the puppet's eyes regained their luster.

After sensing the star array within the immortal corpse puppet, Chen Feng smiled.

After he broke through to the Dao Integration stage, the Immortal Corpse Puppet was also able to activate the Forty-Eight Star Array. As a result, the Immortal Corpse Puppet's combat power was directly equivalent to the fourth step of the Dao Integration stage.

Even a fifth-step cultivator could put up a fight.

The gains from this breakthrough to the Dao Integration stage were enormous; not only did his own strength increase, but the Immortal Corpse Puppet also experienced a significant boost in power.

Chen Feng did not stay in the cave abode any longer. He left the immortal corpse puppet in the cave abode to continue comprehending the Dao of Severance, while he himself went to the inner chamber of the Xingfeng Sect.

Now that he has broken through to the Dao Integration stage, he should return to the Xuanhuang Realm.

With little time left before the agreed-upon time with the Blood Demon Palace, he was also curious about what lay beyond the boundary of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Upon arriving at the cabinet, Chen Feng saw Liu Qian and Beaver, along with other high-ranking members of the Xingfeng Sect, discussing matters.

Upon seeing Chen Feng's sudden appearance,

They all immediately stood up and bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Beaver exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Master, you've broken through?"

Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, a lucky breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on your breakthrough to the Dao Integration Realm! From now on, you may even achieve immortality!"

The group all offered their congratulations, as they all knew Chen Feng's true level; previously, Chen Feng had only reached the half-step Dao Integration stage.

However, Chen Feng, with only a half-step Dao Integration cultivation level, was able to fight against an old monster at the fifth step of Dao Integration without being defeated.

Chen Feng has now broken through to the Dao Integration stage.

No one could imagine the extent of Chen Feng's current strength.

Chen Feng walked to the main seat and sat down, looking at everyone:

Please have a seat.

Upon hearing this, everyone took their seats, and Beaver personally stood beside Chen Feng to make Chen Feng tea.

There are only four people in the cabinet: Liu Qian, Ge Yunxuan, Beaver, and Mo Chen.

These four are considered true veterans of the Xingfeng Sect.

Mo Chen was the first to speak:

"Sect Master, now that you have broken through to the Dao Integration stage, shall we hold a grand Dao Integration ceremony?"

The Dao Integration Ceremony is a celebration held after a cultivator breaks through to the Dao Integration stage. This ceremony serves two purposes: firstly, to inform other forces of the cultivator's breakthrough to the Dao Integration stage; and secondly, to inform other forces of the breakthrough.

Secondly, it serves to establish prestige.

Ge Yunxuan said, "Let's forget about the Dao Integration Ceremony. If the surrounding star regions find out that our sect leader has only just broken through to the Dao Integration stage, it will probably cause another uproar."

Liu Qian nodded in agreement. "Yes, the sect leader was able to repel the Bright Moon Saint Lord with only the strength of a half-step Dao Integration Realm cultivator. If other star field forces were to find out about this, they would definitely go crazy, and might even unite against us."

Liu Qian had long seen through the true nature of cultivators, despite the fact that Xingfeng Sect currently enjoys great prestige in the surrounding star regions.

However, once word gets out that Chen Feng, at the half-step Dao Integration stage, defeated a fifth-step Dao Integration stage cultivator, those forces might even go to great lengths to deal with their Xingfeng Sect.

When the potential profits are substantial enough, people will be willing to take any risk.

Mo Chen smiled wryly and said, "It was my oversight."

Chen Feng waved his hand. "A celebration is definitely in order. Beaver, go and have someone prepare a small feast, just for the few of us."

"Yes, Sect Master, I'll make the arrangements right away." Beaver immediately left quickly.

The Xingfeng Sect) had held a small banquet a few times before, but only some of the elders of the Xingfeng Sect attended.

It was a small gathering, and Beaver knew who to invite and who not to.

After the beaver left, Chen Feng looked at Liu Qian:

Has anything happened during my seclusion?

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian immediately recounted the recent situation.

The nine star regions have been completely controlled by the Xingfeng Sect, and the Xingfeng Sect has also reached trade cooperation agreements with twenty-one surrounding star regions.

Such a large volume of trade has led to a several-fold increase in the Xingfeng Sect's revenue.

The factories in the North are still working overtime to meet demand.

This involves twenty-one star systems, not just planets; the demand is enormous.

"Sect Master, as you instructed, I only engaged in trade with these star regions and did not participate in the conflicts between them. However, I did send a group of intelligence agents to the surrounding star regions to gather intelligence."

Liu Qian then discussed matters related to intelligence.

After listening, Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, the sect doesn't need to expand externally right now. Trade alone is enough for our development. Have the intelligence personnel gathered any information?"

"According to our latest intelligence, the Taiyi Sect has recently taken action, dispatching several Dao Integration Realm experts to the Tianxuan Star Region, presumably to investigate the Tianxuan Sacred Land's barrier."

Liu Qian recounted all the information he had gathered about the Taiyi Dao Sect and the Tianxuan Holy Land during this period.

At the same time, he also told Chen Feng about his initiative in revealing information about the barrier to the Taiyi Sect.

"A barrier formed by the power of spacetime, no wonder it requires the power of stars..." Chen Feng couldn't help but think of the boundary wall of the Xuanhuang Realm.

According to the people of the Blood Demon Palace, they also need his Star Power to break through the boundary.

The Heavenly Profound Holy Land also needs his Star Power.

Could it be that the barrier broken by the Heavenly Profound Holy Land and the boundary wall of the Profound Yellow Realm are the same place?

But this is far too much of a coincidence.

Seeing that Chen Feng remained silent, Liu Qian asked, "Sect Master, is there something amiss?"

Liu Qian thought that he had displeased Chen Feng by revealing information to the Taiyi Sect.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng suppressed his thoughts and replied:

"It's nothing, you did a good job. Letting the Taiyi Sect know about this will also cause some trouble for the Tianxuan Holy Land."

To find out if it's the same barrier, we'll have to go back to the Xuanhuang Realm and check.

Mo Chen then spoke:

"Sect Master, the factories in the Northern Territory can no longer meet the demand. Could we establish a dedicated production base on Canglan Star specifically for producing weapons and goods?"

A production base—this is the strategy that Liu Qian and Mo Chen have been discussing recently.

However, this was a big deal, so the group discussed it for a long time but couldn't reach a decision.

"That's no problem at all; you can choose the location yourselves." Chen Feng naturally supported expanding production.

The current trade volume of the Xingfeng Sect is so large that the production capacity of the factories in the North is completely insufficient.

With so many mortals on Canglan Star, finding workers is naturally not a problem.

"Then we'll discuss and decide on a location, and then you, Sect Leader, can take a look," Liu Qian said with a smile.

Afterwards, Liu Qian reported to Chen Feng about the situation in the Nine Star Regions, and Chen Feng listened quietly.

Before long, Beaver returned and informed Xiao Yan that everything was ready.

Chen Feng then led everyone to his courtyard at the Xingfeng Sect.

Three banquet tables have already been set up here.

Yue Yao, Wang Hu, Mo Yang, and others were already waiting here; they had rushed back after receiving a message from Beaver.

Upon seeing Chen Feng, Zheng Jiao, who was sitting to the side, immediately asked, "Have you really broken through to the Dao Integration stage?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "You'd better work hard."

Zhengjiao's face immediately fell.

Try harder? How could he possibly try? He felt that even if he tried for thousands of years, he would never catch up with Chen Feng.

This cultivation speed can only be described as freakish.

Xiao Tong, perched on the back of the monstrous beast, stared at Chen Feng in shock. He had only just learned of Chen Feng's breakthrough.

Chen Feng has only been cultivating for a few years, yet he has already broken through to the Dao Integration stage.

Xiao Tong used to think that her master was the most extraordinary person, but compared to Chen Feng, her master could only be considered average.

"Don't stand, please sit down," Chen Feng said.

Everyone immediately took their seats.

Everyone ate in a relaxed manner, and no one talked about anything serious; they mostly talked about interesting things in life.

Although Liu Qian, Wang Hu, and others who had their bodies modified with mechanical technology could not eat, they did not show any discomfort.

The real meaning of this small banquet was being able to chat and laugh with everyone.

The meal ended after only one hour.

After the banquet, Chen Feng did not stay at the Xingfeng Sect. After giving Liu Qian some instructions, he returned to Earth.

There's nothing much going on in the Painting Scroll World for now. Liu Qian and the others have taken care of everything, so he doesn't need to worry about anything.

Moreover, with the Immortal Corpse Puppet guarding Xingfeng Sect, even if a cultivator at the fifth step of the Dao Integration Realm attacks, they can be easily defeated.

The modern world, the solar system.

Chen Feng appeared in the starry sky of the solar system. Although the surroundings were a cold and desolate starry sky, he felt a sense of relaxation.

Every time Chen Feng returns to this side of the solar system, he feels a sense of belonging, like coming home.

Without lingering in this starry sky, Chen Feng headed directly to the lunar base.

He had just arrived at the base when a beam of light flew right in front of him.

A beam of light materialized, and Lin Wei and Li Xiaorou appeared before him.

Chen Feng wasn't surprised by Lin Wei's appearance, but he was somewhat taken aback by Li Xiaorou's arrival.

When the two women saw Chen Feng, their faces showed no joy, but rather a solemn expression.

Seeing the two women's expressions, Chen Feng frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Xiaorou spoke up first, "Boss, something's happened with the Moro tribe."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was somewhat surprised:

"Something happened to the Moro tribe?"

"Boss, please come with us first." Li Xiaorou didn't explain much.

Chen Feng nodded, and then followed the two women into the depths of the starry sky.

Soon, the three arrived at the Moro tribe's settlement in the solar system.

The Moro race's base in the solar system is located near the space passage, and it is managed by Sos and a dozen or so Moro people.

They are specifically responsible for transactions with the solar system.

When Chen Feng arrived, Sos and more than a dozen Moro people were already waiting there.

Upon seeing Chen Feng appear, Soth immediately stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Sect Leader Chen, you've finally arrived!"

Chen Feng asked, "What happened?"

Soth said gravely, "The spatial portal suddenly collapsed a few days ago for unknown reasons, and we have lost all contact with our clan."

Soth pointed to the spatial passage in the distance.

Chen Feng then realized that although the spatial rift was still there, the scene inside had changed. It was no longer a stable passage, but a spacetime turbulence.

This spacetime turbulence is somewhat similar to the spacetime distortion in the scroll painting's spacetime realm; clearly, this passage is no longer usable.

Soth spoke up anxiously from the side:

"This spatial passage was constructed using the power of the Sacred Tree; it shouldn't have collapsed!"

Chen Feng asked, "Aren't you able to contact the Moro Star Region directly? Why is that?"

Soth spoke, his face pale:

"We've tried everything, but we can't get in touch at all. We even used bloodline techniques, but we still can't sense anything. Something must have happened within the clan!"

Chen Feng frowned.

He was well aware of the Moro clan's strength; the entire Moro clan probably had no fewer than thirty Dao Integration Realm experts, not to mention the powerful Sacred Tree.

What exactly happened? Even the spatial passage collapsed, and the bloodline connection of the Moro race also stopped working.

"Sect Leader Chen, we hope you can help us and lend us an antimatter warship to send us back to our clan!" Soth pleaded with Chen Feng.

The Moro Starfield is a full 27 light-years away from the solar system. If Soth and his crew want to return, they can only do so by using an antimatter warship.

However, Li Xiaorou dared not lend the antimatter warship to Soth, so she waited for Chen Feng to return and make a decision.

Chen Feng looked at Soth:

"Don't rush. Even an antimatter warship will take a long time to arrive. I'll go check on the Moro tribe first."

Chen Feng's scroll teleportation ability has expanded to one hundred light-years.

He can be directly teleported to the Moro tribe.
