Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Just then.

Strands of white lightning began to appear in Chen Feng's void. There were tens of thousands of these white lightning bolts, and they were increasing at an alarming rate.

The starry sky within tens of thousands of miles around was now occupied by white lightning.

These lightning bolts are naturally the Primordial Divine Lightning that descends when a Dao-Merging cultivator undergoes tribulation.

It should be noted that a normal cultivator undergoing the fifth step of their own tribulation only needs eight thousand Primordial Divine Lightning bolts.

Chen Feng has only undergone four tribulations, and the Primordial Divine Lightning is about to break through 100,000 Dao!
Upon seeing so many Primordial Divine Lightning bolts, Chen Feng's expression immediately darkened.

He still remembered that when he was undergoing the first and second tribulations of his own life, there were only a little over ten thousand Primordial Divine Lightning bolts.

Five years ago, when he underwent his third tribulation, he only reached 30,000 levels.

But now, the primordial divine lightning that descended during this fourth tribulation has surged by 100,000 bolts.

This exponential growth is simply outrageous; they're really not treating him like a human being.

One hundred thousand bolts of Primordial Divine Lightning—let alone a Dao Integration cultivator, even an ordinary Heavenly Venerable would probably be unable to withstand it.

The Primordial Divine Lightning has a great suppressive effect on Dao Fruits, and cultivators can only withstand it head-on.

Moreover, this is only the fourth personal tribulation, and Chen Feng dares not imagine what the fifth personal tribulation will be like.

Before Chen Feng could think for long, the primordial divine lightning around him surged towards him like a tidal wave!

The simultaneous bombardment of so many primordial divine lightning bolts on the same target instantly distorted the surrounding spacetime.

Fortunately, Chen Feng had already used the power of stars to conceal this part of the starry sky before undergoing his tribulation.

Otherwise, the commotion here alone would be enough to shake the entire Tianhe Starfield.

Tens of thousands of miles away from the place of tribulation, an antimatter warship is docked here.

On the warship, Liu Qian and several other high-ranking members of the Xingfeng Sect were present.

The sect leader cannot be disturbed during his tribulation, so naturally they had to come and watch.

"How exactly did the sect leader cultivate? In less than ten years, he has successfully overcome his own tribulations twice," Zhang Xiancheng said in surprise.

He was there five years ago when Chen Feng was undergoing his tribulation.

Only five years have passed, and Chen Feng is undergoing another tribulation, which makes Zhang Xiancheng doubt whether Chen Feng is undergoing his own tribulation.

Only a cultivator like him, who has reached the Dao Integration stage, knows the terror of his own tribulation.

When he underwent his tribulation as a Dao Integration cultivator, it was a near-death experience. If he hadn't exchanged enough life-saving items from the Xingfeng Sect's treasury, he would have died during that tribulation.

For ordinary cultivators who have reached the Dao Integration stage, the interval between their tribulations is at least a thousand years. They not only need to cultivate, but also need to prepare life-saving items for the tribulations.

Their sect leader, on the other hand, treats tribulation like eating and drinking.

Xu Wangchen said with a smile:

"Brother Zhang, you haven't been a member of the sect for long enough. You'll get used to it eventually."

Xu Wangchen had already joined Xingfeng Sect when Chen Feng was still only at the Refining Void stage, so he was naturally used to Chen Feng's terrifying speed of advancement.

Xu Wangchen is now extremely grateful that he brought the Xuling Clan to join Xingfeng Sect.

The Void Spirit Clan has already secured a place in the Wind Path Sect. Although their status is not yet comparable to the larger factions within the Wind Path Sect, they are still quite formidable.

If he hadn't chosen to follow Chen Feng back then, their Void Spirit Clan would probably have been wiped out by the Demon Clan, just like those forces in the Cloud Sky Star Sea.

Zhang Xiancheng was speechless upon hearing this.

Is this something you can just get used to? Don't you know that seeing too much of this can be disheartening?
At this moment, Liu Qian said, "The sect leader will need at least two months to undergo this tribulation. During this time, we will have to trouble the seniors to stay here and watch over him."

Upon hearing Liu Qian's words, the several Dao Integration cultivators present nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Steward. With us here, we will absolutely not let anyone disturb the Sect Master," Yin Yan assured her from the side.

At this moment, Ge Yunxuan came out of the cabin and said to Liu Qian:

"Manager, we just received a message from the Tianhe Sect that they want to invite the sect leader to their ancestor's birthday celebration."

Over the past decade, Xingfeng Sect has established itself in the Tianhe Star Region. Initially, the major powers in the Tianhe Star Region were wary of Xingfeng Sect, but as they have not made any moves against it in recent years and have simply been doing business with it, the major powers have truly felt at ease.

The forces in the Tianhe Star Region only regarded Xingfeng Sect as a weapon-refining sect.

In the cultivation world, what is most popular? It is undoubtedly the forces that can refine weapons and pills, both of which are indispensable for cultivators.

Moreover, Xingfeng Sect's weapon forging skills are unique to them and not found in other forces, which gives them an even greater advantage.

Without substantial benefits, no force would want to offend such a weapon-refining sect for no reason.

The top powers in the Tianhe Star Region have purchased a large number of weapons from Xingfeng Sect over the past decade, so they have a good relationship with Xingfeng Sect. That's why the Tianhe Sect wanted to invite Xingfeng Sect to their ancestor's birthday celebration.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian simply replied casually:
"Just have Elder Yun go there later. If the Tianhe Sect asks, just say that the sect leader is in seclusion."

The birthday of a Dao Integration cultivator is not worth informing Chen Feng about.

Ge Yunxuan nodded, then stepped back to contact Yun Qingjue.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Xiancheng and the others are still guarding the place where Chen Feng is undergoing his tribulation.

At this moment, the group of people who were meditating inside the warship seemed to have sensed something and opened their eyes. They quickly came outside the warship.

The fluctuations in the distant starry sky had ceased, and the oppressive force capable of destroying the world had no longer been emitted.

"Is it over?" Zhang Xiancheng asked uncertainly.

Then a voice rang in everyone's ears:

"What are you all doing here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned around and saw Chen Feng standing behind them, calmly watching them.

When Zhang Xiancheng and the others met Chen Feng's eyes, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

Chen Feng's pupils seemed to contain a universe; just one glance from them sent shivers down their spines.

However, Zhang Xiancheng and the others only remained stunned for a few seconds before they all came to their senses and bowed to Chen Feng.

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on your great improvement in cultivation!"

Chen Feng smiled faintly: "It's not a huge increase in cultivation, just a small step forward."

Don't be fooled by Chen Feng's current composure; he was struck by the Primordial Divine Lightning for a full two months.

Even though his physical body far surpassed that of a Dao-merging being, he was still in a very sorry state when faced with so many Primordial Divine Lightning bolts. At this moment, he had many wounds left by the Primordial Divine Lightning bolts on his body.

However, this breakthrough also brought Chen Feng great benefits.

First is the Star Dao Fruit. After the Star Dao Fruit underwent its fourth qualitative change, Chen Feng now has a deeper control over the power of stars. He can't say that he can control every strand of star power in detail, but it's much better than before.

In the past, every time he used the power of the stars, it would result in a great waste. But now, he can concentrate the power of the stars into a single point, maximizing its power.

Moreover, his ability to manipulate planets has also been greatly enhanced.

In addition, there is the improvement in his spiritual soul. His spiritual soul is now many times stronger than it was ten years ago.

According to Chen Feng's estimation, with his current combat strength, he should be able to put up a fight even against those top-tier Breakthrough Realm experts. However, this was just his guess; he would only know for sure after actually fighting them. Chen Feng then focused his mind on his sea of ​​consciousness. After his realm broke through one after another, the painting changed once again.

The range of the scroll's transmission has increased from the original two hundred light-years to four hundred light-years.

Four hundred light-years is a very wide range, and his teleportation range now covers several star systems in the surrounding area.

"Has anything happened within the sect in the last ten years?" Chen Feng asked the group.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiancheng and the others immediately recounted the events of the past ten years to Chen Feng.

Hearing that everything had been normal for Xingfeng Sect over the past ten years, and that there had been no conflict with the forces in Tianhe Star Region, Chen Feng was quite satisfied with his low-key policy.

Indeed, keeping a low profile is the only way to ensure a peaceful and stable life.

"Tell Liu Qian that I'm going to continue my seclusion."

After saying that, Chen Feng disappeared from the spot.

He naturally needed to return to Earth; the fourth step of the Dao Integration Realm was far from sufficient for him.

With so much time having passed, the Sacred Tree should have recovered quite a bit from its injuries. With the help of the Sacred Tree, he might be able to directly reach the fifth step of the Dao Integration Realm.

Now, Chen Feng only has one piece of Dao Crystal left, and the Dao essence within it is less than one-third of what it used to be.

He couldn't use the remaining Daoist rhymes; he had to save them to supplement the Daoist rhymes used for revising the scroll.

Furthermore, after reaching the fourth step of the Dao Integration stage, his Dao Fruit had developed resistance to absorbing Dao essence, so continuing to absorb it was no longer effective.

Seeing Chen Feng disappear like that, Zhang Xiancheng and the others stood there stunned.

Zhang Xiancheng looked at the others and asked:
"Didn't the sect leader only go into seclusion for ten years? Why is he going into seclusion again?"

Yin Yan said from the side, "Perhaps this is why the sect leader was able to break through so quickly. I also need to go back to cultivate. Farewell."

After saying that, Yin Yan also returned towards Canglan Star.

The others also took their leave.

Their sect leader had just broken through to a higher realm and was about to go into seclusion again, which undoubtedly inspired the group.

If someone as outstanding as them is still working hard, then it would be truly unacceptable for them not to work hard as well.

The solar system, Mars.

Although ten years have passed in the world depicted in the painting, only one year has passed in the modern world.

However, Mars underwent significant changes that year.

Within the Moro tribe's territory, the number of houses has now increased from a dozen to several hundred.

In just one year, the population of the Moro tribe had increased to over ten thousand.

The reason for such a large population increase is naturally due to the sacred tree.

The number of the clans affected the strength and growth of the Sacred Tree, so in this year, the Sacred Tree spurred the growth of the Moro clan.

Almost all the women of the Moro tribe gave birth continuously throughout the year.

This is why the Moro race is naturally strong; if other races were forced to grow like this by the sacred tree, they would have been worn down long ago.

It was under these circumstances that the number of the Moro people once again exceeded ten thousand.

However, 90% of them are newborns, and their abilities are not very good.

But the sacred tree is not in a hurry. As long as the population is large enough, the Moro race will one day become strong again.

"My lord, the clan's resource consumption has increased again this month, and the resources provided by Xingfeng Sect will not last until next month."

Soth stood respectfully before the sacred tree and reported.

Soth has now become the current chieftain of the Moro tribe, a position appointed by the sacred tree.

The sacred tree said, "I'll contact Lin Wei later and ask her to send some more resources over."

That year, the Sacred Tree made many friends in the solar system, among whom Lin Wei was the most to her liking, and the two got along very well.

Soth hesitated for a moment and said:
"My Lord, there is something I am unsure whether I should say,"

"What do you want to say?" the sacred tree asked calmly.

Soth spoke up, "The clan's need for resources will only increase in the future. We can't rely on the Wind Sect's support forever, and they won't support us indefinitely either. I hope Lord Sacred Tree can mention to Sect Master Chen whether it's possible to send our clansmen to other star regions to obtain resources."

After saying this, Soth became uneasy.

After all, the Moro clan is now essentially under Chen Feng's control.

Now he wants the Moro people to go to other star systems to obtain resources, which is somewhat overstepping his bounds.

But Soth had no choice. The Moro race was an evolving race that needed to devour a lot of resources to increase its strength; otherwise, they wouldn't have kept attacking other star systems.

The resources provided by Xingfeng Sect are simply not enough, and as the number of clansmen increases, the resources consumed will also increase.

Soth didn't think Chen Feng would help them for free forever.

After hearing Soth's words, the Sacred Tree did not answer immediately, but waited a moment before saying, "What do you think? Do you agree with his suggestion?"

Soth was taken aback, then immediately turned around.

Chen Feng was standing behind him, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Sect Leader Chen!" Sos's heart tightened, and he quickly bowed.

Chen Feng glanced at Sos and then said, "You're right, we really can't afford to supply your entire Moro race, but I will not agree to plunder resources from other star systems."

Soth wasn't too surprised to hear this; this outcome was within his expectations.

But then Chen Feng changed the subject:
"But I can pay you salaries, and you can fight for the resources yourselves."

Soth asked, somewhat puzzled, "Pay wages?"

Chen Feng nodded: "Yes, you can have your people join the Earth's fleet, or help with other things. I will reward you as long as you can contribute."

Chen Feng would not support the Moro tribe for nothing.

He had long planned to have the Moro race join Earth's fleet. Compared to Jack and the others, the Moro race were more adapted to the space environment, and some dangerous missions could be carried out by them.

Jack and his crew could manage fighting on planets, but in space, they could only rely on their equipment.

The Moro race, a race naturally capable of surviving in space, is undoubtedly the best henchman.

Soth wasn't stupid, and he naturally understood what Chen Feng meant. His eyes lit up immediately.

"If that's truly the case, then our clan will serve Sect Leader Chen wholeheartedly!"

It's much more reassuring to work for someone and get paid than to eat and drink for free.

Chen Feng's decision to have the Moro people join the fleet effectively provided them with a stable channel for acquiring resources.

All they had to do was obey Chen Feng's orders.

The sacred tree then spoke up: "Soth, you may go down now."

Knowing that the Sacred Tree had something to discuss with Chen Feng, Soth didn't linger. After bowing to the Sacred Tree and Chen Feng, he quickly left. (End of Chapter)
