Chapter 926
5 altars!
"Godfather, is there really such a thing as luck in this world?" Wang Fengnuo looked at Chen Feng curiously.
Chen Feng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then spoke:
"Although the concept of destiny is ethereal and vague, it does indeed exist."
Chen Feng believed that luck existed, but it was too ethereal and intangible. Often, cultivators with many opportunities would be considered to be blessed with good fortune.
"It's a pity. I heard that the Five Gods Platform was last opened hundreds of years ago. We won't be able to make it this time," Tang Xiaoxiao said with some regret.
Wang Fengnuo disagreed:
"No matter how strong the Five Gods Platform's fortune is, it can't compare to our godfather's. If we follow our godfather, our fortune will definitely be the best in the entire universe."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao turned her gaze to Chen Feng.
She had been with Xingfeng Sect for a long time and naturally knew about Chen Feng's experiences. In terms of luck, no one could compare to their sect leader.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"Where did you learn to flatter like that?"
Wang Fengnuo stuck out his tongue: "Godfather, I'm not flattering you, I'm just telling the truth."
Seeing that Chen Feng seemed to be in a good mood, Tang Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to him, immediately said:
"Sect Master, once we arrive at the Five Platforms Star Region, we can split up and move around. I'd like to explore the area."
Before Chen Feng could speak, Wang Fengnuo scolded, "Xiaoxiao, we're going out with our godfather on business, not on vacation. How can you wander around like that!"
Chen Feng glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao and Wang Fengnuo:
"Alright, you two stop acting. You can split up, but you must meet at the star vortex in the Five Platforms Star Region in five days. The same goes for everyone else."
Chen Feng was not worried that Wang Fengnuo and the others would encounter any danger.
With a warp drive spaceship, even if he encounters a formidable enemy, he can escape. Moreover, he can teleport, so if danger arises, he can arrive in time.
Moreover, the purpose of bringing these young disciples along this time was to give them experience; they wouldn't grow if they just stayed by his side all the time.
Seeing that Chen Feng understood their intentions and even agreed immediately, Wang Fengnuo and Tang Xiaoxiao immediately smiled.
"Thank you, Godfather! You're the best!"
Wang Fengnuo did want to travel around, and although it was nice to stay by Chen Feng's side, he inevitably felt constrained.
After chatting with Chen Feng for a while, the two women quickly left the cabin and began to notify the others.
Others were equally excited when they heard the news.
Whether it's Wang Fengnuo or Tang Xiaoxiao, these younger generation members rarely leave Xingfeng Sect, and they have no idea what the outside star field is like.
Only by experiencing it firsthand can you broaden your horizons.
One day later.
The fleet successfully traversed the cosmic vortex and arrived at a new starry sky.
This starry sky is even more dazzling than the starry skies of the nine major star regions, and you can see twinkling stars from a distance.
After arriving in this new starry sky, the fleet sailed for another half a day before a magical array barrier appeared ahead.
Some mid-star regions will set up large-scale protective formations in their own star regions in order to prevent cultivators from other regions from entering.
However, entry requires the consent of the top powers in that star system.
As the fleet arrived, three figures immediately flew out from within the array barrier, looking at the distant fleet with wary expressions.
"I've never seen this kind of Dharma ship before. Which star system does it belong to?"
One of the elderly men, dressed in a green robe, spoke in a deep voice.
A beautiful woman standing nearby shook her head: "Never seen him before. He's probably not from the nearby star system. Be careful."
Soon, the fleet arrived near the star field barrier.
Wang Fengnuo and Tang Xiaoxiao flew out with several young cultivators from Xingfeng Sect.
Upon seeing these people, the cultivators near the barrier all showed surprise.
Because the strength of these people in front of us is really low. The highest level is only the Nascent Soul stage. With such cultivation, they can't even leave their own home planet in the Five Platforms Star Region.
Wang Fengnuo looked at the three people not far away and said with a smile:
"I am Wang Fengnuo, a steward of the Xiafeng Sect. I greet the three seniors!"
Facing a cultivator at the half-step Dao Integration stage, Wang Fengnuo showed no fear.
Upon hearing the name Xingfeng Sect, the three of them changed their expressions. In the surrounding star regions, the most renowned force was undoubtedly Xingfeng Sect.
Especially Chen Beijin, the sect leader of Xingfeng Sect, is a terrifying existence capable of repelling a fifth-step Dao Integration cultivator.
Then they realized that Xingfeng Sect's magic ship did indeed seem different from those of other forces.
The green-robed elder among the three immediately stepped forward with a beaming smile:
"So you are fellow Daoists from Xingfeng Sect. I am Shangguan Hong, an elder of the Wutai Divine Sect. May I ask what brings you from Xingfeng Sect to our Wutai Star Region?"
Although the people in front of him were just juniors, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Wang Fengnuo began to speak:
"Senior Shangguan, you are too kind. We are just passing through your territory. Would it be convenient for you to travel there?"
Upon hearing that it was merely a matter of passing through, Shangguan Hong immediately said, "That's no problem at all. I'll just inform the sect."
If an ordinary force wants to pass through, it will inevitably be questioned, but it's different for a top force like Xingfeng Sect.
Although the Wutai Star Region is a mid-level star region, it is still no match for the Xingfeng Sect.
Shangguan Hong and the others then opened the array barrier.
Wang Fengnuo hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shangguan Hong and spoke:
"Senior Shangguan, we would like to stay in the Wutai Star Region for a few more days. Is that possible?"
Shangguan Hong laughed heartily: "Young friend, you flatter us. It is an honor for our Wutai Star Region that your sect can come to visit. I can arrange for a few of my disciples to act as your guides. Would you be interested?"
Wang Fengnuo cupped his hands in greeting: "We don't need a guide, we'll just be sightseeing for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hong nodded: "Alright, then take care, young friends."
Wang Fengnuo then led his men back to the fleet, which quickly formed a long line and headed towards the Wutai Starfield.
As the fleet disappeared from sight, the woman beside the green-robed elder asked in surprise, "Where are the people from Xingfeng Sect going? Why do they need to pass through our Wutai Star Region?"
It's no wonder the woman was surprised, as the Xingfeng Sect rarely appears in the surrounding star regions and usually stays only in the nine major star regions.
The old man in the green robe shook his head:
"These are not things we should be considering; we must report this matter to the church immediately."
The others nodded in agreement.
Even if a top-tier power like Xingfeng Sect is merely passing through their Five Platforms Star Region, it's still something to be taken seriously, and it's necessary to send people to keep a close eye on them secretly.
Inside the warship's cabin.
Wang Fengnuo reported what had just happened to Chen Feng.
"The Wutai Divine Sect, you know?"
Chen Feng only had a general understanding of this force; among the surrounding star regions, the Five Platforms Star Region was considered one of the stronger star regions.
The biggest reason is this Wutai God Cult.
It has a total of eleven Dao Integration cultivators. The strongest sect leader has reached the fourth step of Dao Integration. If he can break through to the fifth step of Dao Integration, he will very likely be able to rival the Taiyi Sect and the Tianxuan Holy Land.
"Godfather, where are you planning to go next? Would you like to come with us for a stroll?" Wang Fengnuo asked Chen Feng.
Chen Feng shook his head: "You guys go ahead, I'll go check out the Five Gods Platform, and then I'll wait for you outside the star field."
"Okay, godfather, we'll be going now!" Wang Fengnuo then left with Tang Xiaoxiao.
At the same time, the fleet of one hundred warships was divided into more than a dozen squads and headed in different directions in the five star systems.
Chen Feng then noticed that some people had not gone sightseeing with Wang Fengnuo and the others; these people had chosen to cultivate inside the warship.
Ascetics can be found everywhere, and Xingfeng Sect is no exception.
Chen Feng's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of a burly man with dark skin. The man was clearly startled by Chen Feng's sudden appearance, but upon seeing him, he immediately stood up and bowed.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
The burly man before them was none other than Chang Yan, who had won the Xingfeng Sect's young generation competition.
Chang Yan is not human, but a born stone spirit.
His cultivation level is the highest among the younger generation; at only thirty years old, he has already reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm.
"Why didn't you go to the Wutai Star Region with Feng Nuo and the others?"
Chang Yan spoke somewhat awkwardly upon hearing this:
"Sect Master, I'm not very sociable, so I've been thinking of cultivating on my own."
Chen Feng looked at Chang Yan and said:
“Cultivation can be done anytime, and it’s also necessary to see the outside world. Go and call the rest of the people and tell them to come with me to the Five Gods Platform.”
Upon hearing this, Chang Yan became excited and immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute:
"I will obey the sect leader's command!"
Being able to follow Chen Feng was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Chang Yan.
Asking the sect leader about cultivation-related questions is far better than enduring hardship.
Moreover, being by Chen Feng's side carries a different meaning.
Chang Yan quickly informed the cultivators who were still cultivating inside the warship, and they were naturally very excited upon hearing the news.
Almost everyone else chose to stop cultivating and came to the warship where Chen Feng was.
The central region of the Wutai Starfield.
The stellar environment in this region is very special; there are no celestial bodies or planets within hundreds of millions of kilometers of it.
At the center of this area stands an ancient stone platform, which is the Five Gods Platform.
A layer of pale golden light surrounded the stone platform. The light was not dazzling, but it seemed to be able to penetrate all darkness. Even from a great distance, the light could be clearly seen.
The base of the Five Gods Platform is so enormous that it is immeasurable, like a mountain magnified a billion times, its surface covered with fine and ancient patterns.
An ancient and weathered aura emanated from the stone platform.
Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles around the stone platform, spacetime is distorted, forming a natural protection that even cultivators at the Dao Integration stage dare not easily step into that area.
There are also a large number of Buddhist boats around the Five Gods Platform.
These Dharma ships are filled with cultivators from all over the Five Star Regions.
Although the Five Gods Platform only begins to emanate its aura every few hundred years, people come here almost every day to try their luck.
After all, cosmic wonders cannot be judged by common sense.
Who knows, one day, the Five Gods Platform might suddenly release its fortune.
Those who are waiting here will be able to seize the opportunity immediately.
Unbeknownst to anyone, an antimatter warship had already sailed nearby, and Chen Feng, along with Chang Yan and the others, appeared on the platform where the warship had been raised.
Looking at the ancient stone platform standing against the starry sky in the distance, Chang Yan and the others were all amazed.
"Wow, this is a cosmic wonder! How did it come into being?!"
Chang Yan and the others were deeply shocked at this moment.
It's incredible that such a massive structure was formed naturally in the universe.
Chen Feng looked at the stone platform in the distance, somewhat amazed.
He tried to probe with his divine sense, but his divine sense was swallowed up by the distortion of space and time as soon as it got close to the stone platform.
"The universe is too vast, with countless things we don't know. Even those who have attained the Dao or become Celestial Venerables are as insignificant as ants before the entire universe."
Chen Feng said with emotion.
Upon hearing this, Ge Hong, who was standing to the side, looked at Chen Feng and asked:
"Sect Master, with your strength, are you merely an ant before the universe?"
Ge Hong is the most outstanding young generation in the Ge family and a key member of the younger generation that Ge Yunxuan is cultivating. Ge Hong has a deep respect for Chen Feng.
This is related to his upbringing; he grew up listening to Chen Feng's stories.
In his mind, his sect leader was omnipotent.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng glanced at Ge Hong and the others, whose faces displayed both naivety and confidence.
"Am I very strong?" Chen Feng asked.
A female disciple said admiringly, "Isn't he strong? The sect leader could even force back the Bright Moon Saint Lord of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land. That person is one of the strongest in the surrounding star field. The sect leader's strength must be among the top in the universe."
Chen Feng shook his head: "Your understanding of the universe is too shallow."
As he spoke, Chen Feng flicked his finger, and a star map appeared in front of him.
The image above shows the star Canglan.
"Look, this is Canglan Star and the Nine Star Regions." Chen Feng said, pointing with his right hand. The star map immediately changed, transforming into a star map of the Nine Star Regions.
Everyone looked at Chen Feng with confusion, not understanding what he was planning to do.
They naturally knew the star charts of the nine star regions.
Chen Feng waved his right hand again, and the star map changed once more.
The original nine star regions were transformed into a star map that covers hundreds of surrounding star regions.
At this moment, the Nine Star Domains are located in the middle of these hundreds of star domains.
As for Canglan Star, it's practically nothing more than a speck of dust.
"This is the star chart that the sect has provided for you, but I want to tell you that this star chart is not complete." After Chen Feng finished speaking, the star chart in front of him changed again.
The original three hundred-plus star fields instantly shrank, and then a large star field appeared within the star map.
Then, the changes didn't stop. After this large star field appeared, it began to shrink rapidly and became part of an even larger star field.
In this way, the star map was continuously shrunk and enlarged, and after dozens of times, what appeared before everyone was an oval-shaped three-dimensional image filled with dazzling starlight.
Chen Feng pointed to the 3D image and said:
"This is the universe as we currently understand it. I say 'currently' because our detection methods can only reach this distance at most. No one knows exactly how big the universe is."
"Do you still think I'm very strong?" Chen Feng asked, looking at the group.
At this moment, Chang Yan and the others were completely stunned by the sight of the star map.
This was indeed the first time they had ever learned the specific concept of the universe. In their understanding, the universe consisted of just a few surrounding star systems, which was already incredibly vast.
But what Chen Feng showed them today completely shattered their understanding.
On the scale of the entire universe, let alone Xingfeng Gate, even the surrounding three hundred star fields are probably not even cosmic dust.
And in such a vast universe, how many races and how many powerful beings are there?
At this point, no one could imagine what would happen next.
fear.
This was the thought that was forming in the minds of Chang Yan and the others at this moment. (End of Chapter)
