Furthermore, when Li Yang learned about Shen Binghua's past, he heard that she was placed under house arrest at the Zhongdu Military Academy because she killed a general from the Spirit Department.

The clues gathered from Li Yaowan now surprisingly mention the Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer.

Those Heavenly Fortune Bearer are extremely rare, yet every hundred years, one or two such individuals appear in each faction.

A hundred years sounds like a long time in the Huaxia Realm Domain, but it's nothing in the Astral Realm.

There is also a great difference between those Heavenly Fortune Bearer and those Heavenly Fortune Bearer.

Not all those Heavenly Fortune Bearer possess a "system".

Li Yang had considered this before, perhaps due to the times.

For example, her teacher Si Kui is also Star Wielders of the Nature Department, but Si Kui's cultivation does not rely on harvesting lifespans, and there is no Sister Longevity among them.

Therefore, even among those Heavenly Fortune Bearer under the Nature Department, their methods of cultivation differ.

This Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer, since he participated in the war 28 years ago, must be quite old.

Li Yaowan added, "You might not know much about the Divine Descent Ritual..."

Li Yang had only heard that the most recent Divine Descent was due to the Marquis of Marquis of the Long Night's forceful destruction of the Descending Star Cult.

The leader of the Descending Star Cult initiated Divine Descent Ritual, summoning a Divine Venerable from the Upper Three Realms.

However, Marquis of the Long Night and Si Kui intercepted them halfway and killed them in the Kongzhi.

Li Yaowan continued, "Besides certain incantations, a Heavenly Fortune Bearer is also required as a medium for the Divine Descent to occur."

"I see," Li Yang asked again, "After that... wasn't this Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer interrogated?"

Li Yang knew her teacher's personality well; when Si Kui was angry, she probably wouldn't think of such details.

But Shen Binghua probably wouldn't ignore these things.

Li Yaowan said, "That's the strange thing... Senior Si Kui killed a Celestial Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the Star Magic Department back then. Logically speaking, he should be the medium for the Divine Descent, and he himself admitted it."

"And this Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer..."

Li Yaowan: "After I returned to the Heavenly Palace, I also reported this matter to the Star Nexus Pavilion. Marquis of Wind Pavilion immediately sent people to investigate, and the conclusion was that he was not Divine Descent."

It was precisely for this reason that Li Yaowan suppressed the matter.

If one is Divine Descent, there will definitely be remnants in their Spirit Sea, which can be easily detected.

"Marquis of Wind Pavilion..." Li Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Li Yaowan continued, "This Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer is named Lu Yanbie... He's not from a noble family; he's someone like you who only discovered he's Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer after enrolling."

Li Yaowan gave a brief introduction to Lu Yanbie.

28 years ago, Lu Yanbie was only 18 years old.

This was also something that puzzled Li Yaowan.

Even if one is Heavenly Fortune Bearer, it's unlikely that someone would go to such a dangerous battlefield at the age of 18.

Of course, Lu Yanbie later explained that he had just happened to be doing a mission at the Greedy Wolf Transit Point and did not expect that such a thing would happen later.

These have all been investigated by Master of the Spirit Department, who can confirm that he is telling the truth.

But Li Yaowan always felt something was amiss.

Li Yang asked, "Where is this Lu Yanbie now?"

Li Yaowan explained, "28 years ago he was only at the Third Grade Realm, but now he has advanced to the Sixth Grade Realm and is currently in seclusion in a small Realm Domain."

As expected of Heavenly Fortune Bearer with the Spirit Department.

The speed of cultivation is very fast.

In just 28 years, he broke through to the Sixth Grade Realm.

Li Yang then asked, "Teacher Li, do you know when he will return to the Heavenly Palace?"

Li Yaowan looked at her and said, "This is also what puzzles me. He has never returned to the Heavenly Palace in these 28 years."

Li Yang: "!"

Li Yaowan: "I have been keeping an eye on his whereabouts. He has traveled to other Realm Domain and visited some secret realms, but he has never returned to the Heavenly Palace, not even to the Heavenly Palace's transit points."

This is definitely a problem.

Once Star Wielders reach the Fifth Grade Realm, they mostly train in other Realm Domain.

Because in the Heavenly Palace, time flows too slowly. Unless one has a cultivation method like Li Yang's, it would take at least several hundred years to advance even a small realm.

If there were no time difference with other Realm Domain, then everyone would have no choice but to patiently cultivate in the Heavenly Palace.

But since there are so many Realm Domain with fast time flow, people certainly won't stay in the Heavenly Palace.

However, it is still very rare for them not to return for a full 28 Heavenly Palace Years.

Even Grandmaster rarely go into seclusion for too long at a time.

It's important to know that in some smaller Realm Domain, one day in the Heavenly Palace is equivalent to one year for them.

A Heavenly Palace year of seclusion there is equivalent to 365 years...

Being able to go into seclusion for three consecutive years is already quite remarkable.

Most of them need to come back to resupply.

After all, the biggest problem in smaller Realm Domain is the lack of resources; everyone needs to bring enough pills before they can go into seclusion.

Li Yaowan said, "Lu Yanbie's reluctance to return may not be due to fear of retaliation from the Nature Department; I think he's more afraid of being silenced."

Li Yang nodded and said, "The person behind this might not have wanted to kill him all these years..."

Li Yaowan: "But he is indeed cunning. Each Realm Domain he goes to has a realm restriction. Even if we really send someone there, it will be very difficult to kill Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the same level."

Li Yang understood. From these signs, it could be concluded that Lu Yanbie definitely knew very important information.

He might even be a key witness in identifying the person behind it all!

We must find this person.

And we have to find a way to "influence" him.

Li Yaowan continued, "For the past 28 years, I have been continuously sending people to keep an eye on him, so I can now determine which Realm Domain he is in... However, you need to at least reach the Fifth Grade Realm before you can go there."

Li Yang: "It's not difficult, it won't take too long."

If anyone else had said those words, Li Yaowan would have just rolled his eyes and added, "Arrogant brat."

However, it was Li Yang who said those words...

Li Yaowan felt that this was an objective statement, without any boasting or even subjective emotion.

That Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer has reached the Sixth Grade Realm in 28 years is already quite remarkable.

If it were Li Yang instead... perhaps it would only take two or three years if everything went smoothly?

Horrible!

That's terrifying!

Li Yang: "Teacher Li, please repair your natal alchemy furnace first. After you return to the Eighth Grade Realm, try to secure protection from the Blue Crystal Realm Domain..."

If she wants to quickly improve her cultivation level, she needs to cultivate Star Plant on a large scale.

Although harvesting Star Plant at the Third Grade Realm results in a decreasing lifespan, the sheer quantity makes it irresistible.

Li Yang also possesses the "Scythe of Ice," a wide-area Star Skill that allows her to harvest a large area with a single scythe strike.

In that case, even if a Third Grade Star Plant can only be harvested for one year, it won't stop her from harvesting thousands of them in one go.

Without eliminating the person behind this, Li Yang wouldn't dare sell Star Core, but that doesn't stop her from using Blue Crystal Soil to accelerate planting.

If the Blue Crystal Soil only increases the growth rate of Star Plant, it wouldn't cause a sensation.

Masterless Sword...

Li Yang plans to let them temporarily contract land in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

The Masterless Sword are at least at the Third Grade Realm, so they are not afraid of the erosion of the Blue Crystal Soil.

Even though the Blue Crystal Realm Domain suppresses cultivation levels, the Masterless Sword are only there to farm, so being temporarily suppressed to the third or fourth rank doesn't matter.

Of course, all of this is predicated on Li Yaowan having complete control over the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

Li Yaowan was very confident. She said, "Don't worry about that. I also have channels to help you sell the materials produced by Star Plant..."

Li Yang added, "Ideally, it would be better to exchange it for maintenance materials for the Masterless Sword."

Li Yaowan said, "No problem, I have acquaintances in the weapon-making industry."

The two discussed for a while longer, carefully confirming some details.

However, plans can't keep up with changes, and many things have to be done haphazardly.

The overall framework is very clear at present.

Li Yaowan will first repair his natal alchemy furnace, and then reclaim the protection of the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

Li Yang, on the other hand, needs to advance to the Fifth Grade Realm as soon as possible before going to find Lu Yanbie.

Once the mastermind behind this is brought to justice...

The Nature Department can rely on the large number of Star Core it has accumulated to stir up huge waves in Huaxia... and even the entire Astral Realm!

Li Yaowan couldn't help but reminisce...

Central Capital Pill? Bah! Let's broaden our horizons. Are Huaxia elixirs finally about to conquer the Astral Realm?

Li Yaowan's ambitions, which had been extinguished by the blow 28 years ago, were reignited!

After the two finished discussing business, Li Yang added, "Teacher Li, Senior Brother Qingchen gave me a sample of Light-Condensed Titanium."

Li Yaowan rolled his eyes. "This Light-Condensed Titanium originally belonged to you. Without you, he would never have gotten it even if he died."

Li Yang: "..."

Li Yaowan said bitterly, "I thought he had some brains! Now it seems he's lost them all along with his hair! He's Peak Fifth Grade Realm, with a lifespan of only 20,000 years, yet he dared to overdraw his power by using 'Risking Life'... If it weren't for you, he would have died in the Sword Tomb and wouldn't have been able to obtain the Light-Condensed Titanium."

Li Yang corrected, "That's not it. If my senior brother hadn't Risking Life for me, I wouldn't have been able to get the Light-Condensed Titanium."

Li Yaowan was telling the truth. If Li Yang hadn't appeared, and Li Qingchen had recklessly used "Risking Life," he would most likely have died in the Death Domain.

However, on the other hand, if Li Qingchen hadn't brought "Risking Life" to the Sword Tomb, Li Yang would have had a hard time obtaining the Light-Condensed Titanium this time.

No matter how powerful she is, even if she repairs the "Invincible Shield," she still can't defeat an Eighth Grade Star Weapon.

This is absolute suppression of realm; there's no possibility of even fighting someone of a higher realm.

Of course, Li Yang also had his own methods, such as provoking a battle between the Life Domain Overlord and the Death Domain Overlord.

But a problem arises: if he hadn't "Risking Life," Li Yang would likely have been killed Chen Ri the spot by Shen Ri in his rage.
