Chapter 862
The Starfield Trembles.
Chen Feng wasn't particularly surprised by Yin Yin's words.
As a modern person, he knew from a young age that the universe is vast and boundless.
Humanity is but a drop in the ocean of the universe, so it is not surprising that there are other star regions beyond the nine major star regions.
But this is undoubtedly a huge shock to the Dao Integration cultivators of the nine star domains.
Seeing that Chen Feng's expression didn't change, Yin Yin asked in surprise:
"Brother, aren't you surprised?"
Chen Feng smiled and said, "There are more than just this many star systems in the universe. You probably haven't gone to check out the satellite monitoring center, have you?"
Yinyin asked in confusion, "Could there be other star regions besides these?"
Chen Feng took out his phone and opened a star map:
"Look at it."
This star map was created by electromagnetic wave detection of this universe. Although it is only a rough map, it is much larger than the star map that Yin Yin brought out.
Yinyin took the phone and started looking at it.
Soon, her expression turned serious, and finally blank.
"It turns out that what we know about the universe is just a few drops of water in an ocean."
Seeing the blank look on Yin Yin's face, Chen Feng patted her head and comforted her:
"Don't think too much about it. No matter how big the universe is, we just need to do our own thing. You can continue talking about things outside the universe."
Yinyin nodded emphatically, composed herself, and continued:
"After discovering that there are other star regions outside the nine major star regions, we Dao Integration cultivators decided to explore them. After all, the resources of the nine major star regions are limited, and we can only obtain opportunities by going to new places."
"As we explored, we also came into contact with the forces of those star systems. At that time, we were very cautious and dared not reveal the location of our star system or its strength."
"But as time went on, those forces eventually discovered the situation in our star field. At first, those star field forces only cooperated and communicated with us."
"But gradually, they became dissatisfied with simply cooperating with us, and began to have the idea of enslaving us."
"Tens of thousands of years ago, a force from outside the realm invaded our nine star regions. We also clashed with them. In that battle, our nine star regions mobilized almost all our manpower to fight back. Although we suffered heavy losses, we managed to defend our star regions."
"After that battle, we realized that this kind of thing wouldn't end there. The best way to avoid being targeted was to find a major star system to submit to. As long as we became a vassal of that major star system, we could establish ourselves outside the boundary."
"After some discussion, we finally chose the Tianxuan Holy Land in the Tianxuan Star Region. From now on, we only need to contribute a batch of resources to the Tianxuan Holy Land every thousand years, and they will protect us from invasion by other forces outside the realm!"
After listening to Yin Yin's explanation, Chen Feng understood.
This is a classic example of lacking strength and then seeking protection from a powerful patron; it is indeed a way to survive.
"Has something happened at the Tianxuan Sacred Land now?" Chen Feng asked.
Yinyin shook her head:
"I don't know either. After all, I've been reincarnated for a long time and don't know much about the situation outside the boundary. But something must have happened, otherwise Cang Wanjun wouldn't have said that."
Chen Feng asked:
"Does Cang Wanjun perhaps want you to help protect the Nine Star Domains?"
Yinyin said, "Yes, a long time ago, we Dao Integration experts made a vow that as long as the Nine Star Domains face a life-or-death crisis, all Dao Integration experts will abandon their grudges and fight together against the enemy."
Chen Feng frowned: "If this oath is broken, what consequences will it have on you?"
"It won't have much of an impact. I've already reincarnated many times, and the inner demons created by the vow won't affect me in this life."
"In that case, there's no need to keep this oath. There's no reason to cooperate with an enemy."
Chen Feng naturally didn't want Yin Yin to fight against the extraterrestrial forces with Cang Wanjun and the others.
Yinyin went, so he had to go too; he wasn't someone with an overflowing sense of compassion.
What does the life and death of the nine star regions have to do with him?
If it really comes down to a life-or-death situation, we can simply let Canglan Star leave the Nine Star Regions.
With the technology currently possessed by the Xingfeng Sect, it is sufficient to allow Canglan Star to operate autonomously without relying on star regions for survival.
From beginning to end, the only things Chen Feng cared about were Canglan Star and Xingfeng Sect.
As for the other people in the nine star regions, he didn't care at all.
"I'll do whatever you say, brother." Yin Yin smiled.
"Well, things here have been resolved. Let's head back inside. I also need to take care of a few things."
The two didn't stay there long. Chen Feng sent the immortal corpse puppet and Yin Yin back to the Underworld Continent together.
As for his true form, he returned to Earth to cultivate.
The matter of refining the planet cannot be delayed. With Yin Yin and the Immortal Corpse Puppet in charge of Xingfeng Sect, he doesn't need to worry about anything.
The nine star regions still face external crises.
Those old monsters at the third step of the Dao Integration stage, like Cang Wanjun, wouldn't come after him and Yinyin at this critical juncture.
For the next few decades, Xingfeng Sect should be fine. The only thing to worry about is the extraterrestrial demon.
On the continent of Mingzhou, at the Xingfeng Sect branch.
The immortal corpse puppet controlled by Yinyin and Chen Feng has returned here.
As soon as the two returned, Zhengjiao and Xiaotong appeared in front of them.
"Master!" Xiao Tong came straight to Yin Yin's side.
Yinyin's expression returned to its usual coldness. She looked at Xiaotong and asked:
Where did you go before?
Yin Yin was clearly blaming Xiao Tong for not fighting those Dao Integration Realm cultivators with Chen Feng.
She had previously instructed Xiaotong to act with Chen Feng.
Xiao Tong immediately said, feeling wronged:
“Master… those are several Dao Integration Realm experts. You know my strength; I wouldn’t be of much help if I went.”
Upon seeing this, Zhengjiao quickly said:
"Yinyin, don't be angry. Brother Xiaotong went to the front line with me before, and we have already dealt with the Sea Chariot army."
Upon hearing Zheng Jiao speak, Yin Yin's expression softened.
At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly looked at Zheng Jiao and asked:
"You broke through?"
Zhengjiao looked at the stunningly beautiful immortal corpse puppet, even though he knew that the person in front of him was Chen Feng, whom he knew well.
But seeing that the other person had turned into a woman still felt very strange.
Seeing that Zheng Jiao was staring at him, the immortal corpse puppet's handsome eyebrows furrowed.
Zhengjiao shuddered and quickly replied:
"He devoured quite a few Void Refinement cultivators before, and only just broke through."
Chen Feng immediately reached out and beckoned, and Zheng Jiao flew right in front of him. He placed his hand on Zheng Jiao's head.
A moment later, Chen Feng withdrew his hand.
He found nothing unusual in Zhengjiao's body. Zhengjiao had not cultivated any laws; all that existed within him was demonic power.
However, the speed at which Zhengjiao improved was a bit too fast.
It should be noted that the opponent had only recently broken through to the Void Refinement stage, and now, in such a short time, he has already reached the mid-stage of the Void Refinement stage.
If one could advance by devouring cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, then the Nine Star Domains would have been occupied by the demon race long ago.
Yinyin then said:
"He must have undergone some kind of mutation in his bloodline, brother. Don't worry, it shouldn't be a bad thing."
Chen Feng nodded and didn't say anything more.
The fact that the cunning can become stronger is indeed a good thing for the Xingfeng Sect.
At this moment, Xiaotong spoke up:
"Master, I've caught someone."
As Xiao Tong spoke, a sphere enveloped in black energy appeared in front of him. The sphere opened, and a primordial spirit fell out from it.
This primordial spirit was none other than Li Songxuan. At this moment, Li Songxuan's aura was extremely weak, and his primordial spirit was almost transparent.
Zhengjiao did not let Li Songxuan off the hook. As soon as he returned, he tortured Li Songxuan and opened his mustard seed space.
Li Songxuan, who had fallen to the ground, looked around.
Upon seeing Yin Yin, his face immediately turned deathly pale, even despairing.
Chen Feng watched this scene silently from the side, without interfering.
Although Li Songxuan had a grudge against him, Yin Yin had an even greater grudge against him, so it was best to let Yin Yin handle it.
Yinyin looked at Li Songxuan kneeling on the ground and asked:
“Back then, you were just an orphan. I not only took you in, but also provided you with resources for cultivation. I even let you take over the Star Palace in my place. I have never treated you badly. Why did you betray me?”
Yinyin's voice was very calm, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Upon hearing this, Li Songxuan gave a bitter laugh:
"You've treated me well? If you've truly treated me well, then why haven't you told me the method to comprehend the Law of Annihilation?"
"To take over the Star Palace from you is a joke. People in the Nine Star Domains only know you, Weiyang Tian. Who knows me, Li Songxuan?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tong, who was standing nearby, immediately became enraged and unleashed her dark energy to attack Li Songxuan.
Li Songxuan's primordial spirit dimmed even more, and he let out a miserable scream.
Yinyin shook her head:
"I thought of many reasons, but I never imagined it would be just this."
Li Songxuan stared intently at Yin Yin:
"Isn't that reason enough? In Weiyang Heaven, I, Li Songxuan, have gotten to where I am today entirely on my own merits. I..."
However, before Li Songxuan could finish speaking, the space around him became illusory.
Immediately afterwards, Li Songxuan's primordial spirit dissipated into countless fragments between heaven and earth.
These vanished so completely that not even a trace was left.
Chen Feng stepped forward and patted Yin Yin on the shoulder: "Are you alright?"
Yinyin shook her head:
"Brother, I'm fine. I just cleared up a question that was bothering me."
Yin Yin showed no emotional fluctuation; for her, asking Li Songxuan was merely to resolve her doubts.
So many years have passed, and she has long forgotten about her apprentice's betrayal.
Now that the doubts have been resolved, there's naturally nothing more to ask.
"Go and heal your wounds first, and recover your spirit as soon as possible," Chen Feng instructed.
Yinyin nodded obediently, and then left with Xiaotong.
Chen Feng then looked at Zheng Jiao: "Stay inside the sect during this time and don't go out and cause trouble."
After saying that, Chen Feng's figure disappeared from the spot.
Xingfeng Gate, Council Hall.
Liu Qian was issuing a series of commands via communicator.
He had just repelled the Sea Fork Clan army, and there were still many things to arrange in the aftermath.
Just then, Chen Feng appeared in the main hall.
Upon seeing the stunningly beautiful woman who suddenly appeared, Liu Qian immediately stood up and bowed without hesitation:
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Chen Feng was taken aback: "How did you recognize me?"
He hadn't told Liu Qian about controlling the immortal corpse puppet, yet Liu Qian recognized him at first glance.
Liu Qian gave an awkward smile, then said:
"It was Senior Zhengjiao who told me. Not only did I know, but Yue Yao and the others also found out."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's face immediately darkened.
He immediately released his divine sense to investigate and quickly discovered the traces of the cunning beast.
At this moment, Zheng Jiao is piloting an antimatter warship toward the star vortex, clearly preparing to return to Canglan Star.
Chen Feng suppressed the urge to teach Zheng Jiao a lesson.
Currently, he only controls a fragment of the immortal corpse puppet, and cannot use the scroll's teleportation ability.
He looked at Liu Qian and said:
"The Sea Fork tribe and we have temporarily reconciled and will not cause us any trouble in the near future."
Chen Feng then recounted his negotiations with Cang Wanjun.
After hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Qian immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That would be best."
But soon, Liu Qian seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Sect Master, I previously sent a fleet to plunder the vassal states of the Sea Fork Clan. Should we call them back?"
Chen Feng shook his head:
“No need. Since those people dared to attack us, we should naturally collect some interest. Also, you should send people to the three major star regions of Qian Yuan, Wei Yang, and Ling tide.”
The strongest beings in these three star regions are all dead.
Even if we don't control these star regions, we should at least plunder the forces that control them; that would be a huge source of income.
"Yes, Sect Master, I will arrange for the fleet to go there shortly!" Liu Qian nodded seriously.
Chen Feng didn't need to explain the specifics; he knew what to do.
"Let Xiaotong come along. If we run into trouble, he can help us solve it," Chen Feng said, taking out a storage ring from his person.
This storage ring was the one Cang Wanjun had given him before. He had already taken the immortal techniques inside, leaving only the spirit soul and various materials.
"Use all these materials to build antimatter warships and planet-destroying cannons. Production must be increased as soon as possible, without worrying about costs."
Liu Qian took the storage ring, glanced at it, and nodded: "Okay!"
"I'll put another batch of resources into the treasure vault later. Just send someone to get whatever you need."
Chen Feng's gains didn't stop there.
He still has the remnant souls of two Dao Integration cultivators within him.
Simply opening the space between these two individuals would grant access to a wealth of resources.
"Don't worry, Sect Master, I will urge the factory to speed up production. Within three years, we will definitely increase the number of Star Destroyer Cannons and Antimatter Warships tenfold!" Liu Qian assured him.
Chen Feng nodded, then returned to his secluded cave alone.
As time went by, news of the Sea Fork Clan's army being defeated by the Wind Gate spread rapidly throughout the nine star regions.
The attack on Xingfengmen by the Sea Fork Clan was undoubtedly the most pressing issue for all forces in the Nine Star Domains this past month.
After all, the Sea Fork tribe hadn't waged such a large-scale war in many years.
Initially, many factions believed that the Sea Fork Clan's attack on Xingfeng Gate was like an elephant stepping on an ant, easily destroying the faction.
However, as a month passed, the Sea Fork Clan not only failed to conquer the Wind Gate, but also failed to set foot on the Underworld Continent.
This also made many forces realize that this force called Xingfengmen was not simple.
Even so, none of these forces had imagined that the Sea Fork Clan would be defeated.
That's the Sea Fork Clan, boasting two Dao Integration Realm experts; how could they possibly be defeated by an unknown Wind Path Sect? (End of Chapter)
