Double penetration, starting from being a trader

"Crimson Flame Technique." Chen Feng learned the contents of the light sphere through the information transmitted within it.

This is not a supernatural power, but a fire-attribute cultivation technique that can be cultivated all the way to the Nascent Soul stage. It also contains several secret techniques and supernatural powers.

These secret techniques and supernatural powers are all related to the fire element.

Chen Feng was naturally no longer interested in cultivation techniques. His main cultivation technique now was the "Star Body Refining Technique," which he could cultivate all the way to the Nascent Soul stage.

It's rare for cultivators to change their main cultivation method unless they obtain a particularly high-grade method.

Chen Feng then looked at the other orbs of light and probed them with his divine sense.

It must be said that the Cultivation Alliance has a very deep foundation.

Even the worst cultivation techniques here can be cultivated to the half-step Nascent Soul stage, and most can be cultivated directly to the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, each one comes with secret techniques and supernatural powers.

It should be noted that in the outside world, cultivation techniques that can be practiced to the Nascent Soul level are almost always the foundation of their respective sects.

But the Cultivation Alliance does have so many members.

Besides the cultivation techniques, Chen Feng also discovered several supernatural abilities, each with different capabilities. He also saw quite a few powerful supernatural abilities.

For example, there is a supernatural power called the Thunder Gathering Seal.

This supernatural power can gather the power of heavenly thunder to fight enemies. Once unleashed, it can form a large-scale thunder domain.

It belongs to a powerful offensive divine power.

However, this supernatural power has very high requirements for cultivation. One must have a certain talent for lightning magic and preferably have a lightning-related physique.

There is also a great divine power called Heavenly Profound Flame. After mastering this divine power, the cultivator can control an extremely cold flame called Heavenly Profound Flame.

When one cultivates to the highest level, even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be frozen temporarily.

The supernatural powers here are diverse and each one is very powerful, but cultivating them either requires strict conditions or a lot of time.

Chen Feng was not interested in supernatural abilities that required a long period of cultivation. He didn't have time to go into seclusion for hundreds of years like other cultivators to learn a supernatural ability.

Now he only has one supernatural power, which is the "Celestial Annihilation Finger".

However, he almost never used this supernatural ability in actual combat.

This is because this supernatural power requires a lot of his stellar energy, and he uses most of his stellar energy to strengthen his own defense, rarely using it to fight enemies.

Only after he reaches the Nascent Soul stage can he use this supernatural power without any worries.

There is another supernatural power he obtained from the Void Realm, called the Soul Extraction Technique.

In terms of grade, this supernatural power is even stronger than that of a great supernatural power.

However, the starting condition for cultivating this supernatural power is to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Without reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one cannot cultivate at all.

"I already have no shortage of offensive divine abilities, but I can't cultivate them because my cultivation level is not high enough. What I need to find is a support-type divine ability."

With a general idea in mind, Chen Feng began his search.

Soon, he discovered several supernatural abilities that suited him.

One of them, called "Agile Across the Four Seas," is a supernatural power that increases speed.

It can greatly increase a cultivator's escape speed.

However, Chen Feng did not choose this supernatural power.

The reason is simple: he doesn't have many weaknesses in terms of speed.

Firstly, his teleportation can be replenished by the power of faith; he doesn't possess any supernatural abilities that allow him to teleport faster than a cultivator.

He can now teleport more than two hundred times, which is enough.

After spending half an hour choosing, Chen Feng finally selected a supernatural power that would be helpful to him.

This supernatural power is called the Substitute Death Technique.

Although it is called a supernatural power, it is actually more like a secret technique.

This supernatural power, as the name suggests, can take someone else's place in death.

The cultivator needs to condense a portion of their essence and blood in advance, and then refine it into a substitute death pill using a specific method.

Once the substitute death pill is successfully made, even if a cultivator's physical body and soul are destroyed, the substitute death pill can still be activated, thus reviving the cultivator.

Cultivators, on the other hand, can place the substitute death pill in a safe place in advance, so they can be resurrected from another location.

This supernatural power is simply defying the heavens!
However, such extraordinary feats come at a tremendous price.

Once the substitute death pill is activated, not only will the cultivator lose a thousand years of lifespan, but they will also drop two realms.

Moreover, once the substitute death pill has been used, one must wait a hundred years before being able to use this supernatural power again.

This is not the most difficult part; the most difficult part is refining the substitute death pill.

It requires not only the essence and blood of cultivators, but also a large number of precious spiritual treasures from heaven and earth.

These rare and precious items are worth nearly 500,000 top-grade spirit stones in total.

Five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, plus a thousand years of lifespan, are needed to exchange for a single death in place of another.

This price is not something an ordinary cultivator can afford.

Moreover, if you encounter a truly powerful being, they can kill you once, and they can kill you a second time.

"Although the conditions are harsh, it's worth it to be able to die in someone else's place."

Chen Feng ultimately decided to choose this supernatural power.

Nothing is more important than saving your life.

In addition, this substitution technique was indeed very suitable for him; he only needed to place the refined substitution pill inside the Xingfeng Sect.

Even if he encounters a life-or-death crisis while traveling in the future, he will be fine.

Having been resurrected in the North, he could easily return to Earth using the scroll.

Even if a powerful figure were to pursue him to the northern border, he would not be afraid.

After deciding that he wanted this supernatural power, Chen Feng said, "I want this substitution technique."

A voice suddenly rang out from all around:
"Are you sure? This technique has many drawbacks, and even within the alliance, very few people practice it."

The person speaking was naturally Elder Di.

“Senior, I’ll take this one.” Chen Feng answered confidently.

"Alright." Old Di didn't try to dissuade him any further, and the ball of light in front of Chen Feng dissipated.

A beam of light entered Chen Feng's mind.

Chen Feng immediately learned the full details of the substitution technique.

Outside the Gongfa Pavilion.

Huang Ting and Xu Qian are waiting.

Zhengjiao remained lying on the ground, but his gaze was fixed on Old Di, who was lying on the ground.

At this moment, Chen Feng walked out of the cultivation technique pavilion.

Upon seeing Chen Feng emerge, Huang Ting immediately went to greet him: "Fellow Daoist, have you gained anything?"

Chen Feng smiled and nodded: "We have indeed gained something."

"Haha, that's good. I'll take you to explore other places."

Huang Ting did not ask Chen Feng which supernatural power he had chosen.

Every cultivator's supernatural abilities are their trump cards, and they cannot be revealed to others casually.

If people find out the power of supernatural abilities, it will be easy for them to find ways to counter them.

"Let's go." Chen Feng nodded.

They then left the Gongfa Pavilion together.

After Chen Feng and the others left, Old Di, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes.

A look of surprise appeared on his face:

"It's really strange that they chose the substitution technique."

Elder Di was indeed very puzzled. There were many supernatural abilities in the Martial Arts Pavilion, including several great supernatural abilities passed down from ancient times.

However, Chen Beijing did not choose any of them, but instead chose this costly substitution technique.

There are only two possibilities for this situation.

Either the other party didn't recognize its value, or they looked down on other supernatural abilities. Old Master Di didn't think much of it and closed his eyes again.

An hour later.

Under Huang Ting's guidance, Chen Feng toured the entire Cultivation Alliance.

Through Huang Ting's introduction, Chen Feng also learned what kind of force the Cultivation Alliance was.

Not all the cultivators here are trained by the Cultivation Alliance itself.

Most of them came from other forces on Canglan Star.

In particular, many of the Nascent Soul cultivators are from various powerful forces, and together they form the Cultivation Alliance system.

Through this, Chen Feng also learned about the current strength of the Cultivation Alliance.

There are nearly two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators alone, and more than thirty half-step Divine Transformation cultivators.

This lineup is unmatched by any other faction on Canglan Star.

This also made Chen Feng understand why the Cultivation Alliance was known as the number one power on Canglan Star.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, I've finished my tour. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

At the entrance of a grand hall, Chen Feng spoke to Huang Ting.

Upon hearing this, Huang Ting and Xu Qian both gave a wry smile.

This Sect Master Chen came to the Cultivation Alliance specifically to take advantage of their position.

Huang Ting immediately said:

“Fellow Daoist Chen, you can’t leave now. There’s a meeting in the alliance later about demonic cultivators, and you need to go.”

Chen Feng nodded upon hearing this: "Alright, then I'll stay a little longer."

The reason he wanted to leave was because he still had other things to do.

He needs to go to the Western Regions; he can't delay advancing to the Nascent Soul stage any longer.

About fifteen minutes later.

Huang Ting led Chen Feng into the council hall of the Cultivation Alliance.

A considerable number of people have already gathered here, mostly Nascent Soul cultivators, including several half-step Divine Transformation cultivators.

Leng Cangqiong, who possesses the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, is also here.

Upon seeing Chen Feng arrive, everyone in the hall greeted him.

"Greetings, Acting Alliance Leader!"

After the incident at the teleportation hall, everyone tacitly accepted Chen Feng as the newly appointed acting leader of the alliance.

At this moment, Leng Cangqiong said, "Acting Alliance Leader, please take a seat."

Chen Feng did not refuse, and he immediately sat in the head seat.

After Chen Feng took his seat, everyone else took their seats one by one.

Leng Cangqiong then spoke:
"The people we sent to Sunset Valley last time have returned. The Alliance Leader's condition is not good. Although he has imprisoned the demonic cultivator, it is only temporary."

"We must find a way to completely resolve this matter concerning demonic cultivators."

After Leng Cangqiong finished speaking, a Nascent Soul cultivator beside him asked:
"Was this matter not reported to the Great Star or the Star Palace? This demonic cultivator is not even from our Canglan Star. We have suffered a completely undeserved disaster."

"Yes, it would be too unreasonable for the Star Palace to ignore this. We lost nearly 100,000 cultivators this time in suppressing the demonic cultivators, and the forces in the Southern Region were almost wiped out."

The expressions on everyone's faces were not very pleasant.

Leng Cangqiong said:
"I have already sent someone to inform the Star Palace, but there is still no news from them."

Chen Feng watched the discussion quietly without interrupting.

He was only there to listen in this time.

At this moment, Leng Cangqiong suddenly looked at Chen Feng and asked, "I wonder if the Acting Alliance Leader has any suggestions?"

All eyes turned to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and then said:
"Since this demonic cultivator will break free sooner or later, why not send him out of Canglan Star? As long as he's not on our Canglan Star, he won't pose a threat to us, right?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear Chen Feng's suggestion.

Throwing the demonic cultivators out of Canglan Star directly is indeed a very good method.

Leng Cangqiong shook his head and said:
“This method is not appropriate. That demonic cultivator was sealed on our Canglan Star by the Star Palace. Once we release the demonic cultivator, he may wreak havoc on other cultivation stars, and we will have no way to explain it to the Star Palace.”

The others nodded in agreement when they heard Leng Cangqiong's words.

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng sneered inwardly.

Their own home is almost gone, and the entire planet is in a state of panic because of the demonic disaster. They're still concerned about some kind of star palace.

Since the Star Palace has sealed the demonic cultivators on Canglan Star, it's because they hope the demonic cultivators won't harm other cultivation stars. Canglan Star is just a discarded pawn.

Chen Feng found it ridiculous to be treated as a pawn and still have to consider the other party's thoughts.

If it were him, he would definitely send this demonic cultivator out of Canglan Star immediately.

As long as it doesn't harm him, other people's affairs are none of his business.

Leng Cangqiong then began discussing solutions to the demonic cultivators with the others.

But it's basically the same old routine: either sending people to set up formations near Luoxia Valley, or mobilizing cultivators from other domains to prevent the demonic cultivators from escaping again.

Chen Feng was too lazy to even listen; he just wanted to leave as soon as the meeting was over.

Just as Chen Feng was thinking this to himself.

A sudden change occurred on the field!

Suddenly, the entire council hall began to shake, and runes rose up all around the hall!

A powerful array of energy emanated from the main hall.

This unexpected turn of events caused everyone in the room to stand up immediately, all showing expressions of surprise.

Not only the council hall, but all the main halls of the entire cultivation alliance were shaking violently, and runes lit up in every hall.

"What's going on? How did the Star-Protecting Array get activated?!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator looked utterly horrified.

The main halls of the Cultivation Alliance are the core of the Star-Protecting Array, and they will only react when the Star-Protecting Array is activated on its own.

This formation is already at the eighth level, and even a Nascent Soul stage monster could withstand it.

It can activate the formation automatically, and it will only appear when the enemy attacks.

Everyone's expression changed at that moment.

Leng Cangqiong's majestic voice rang out:

"Immediately communicate with the array spirit to see what happened."

This level of formation already possesses a formation spirit, which allows cultivators to understand the situation.

Upon hearing this, several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Cultivation Alliance immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began rapidly forming hand seals to communicate with the array spirit.

Chen Feng, sitting in the main seat, frowned.

Even the Star Protection Array has been activated on its own, which means there must be an external force at work, and this is not a good thing.

At this moment, in the middle of the council hall.

A screen of light appeared.

The scene displayed on the light screen is a scene outside the planet Canglan.

At this moment, Canglan Star was enveloped by a large net composed of golden threads, which was none other than Canglan Star's protective array.

But no one paid attention to the protective star formation.

Instead, they looked towards the endless starry sky beyond Canglan Star.

In the distant starry sky, a streak of light was rapidly approaching Canglan Star.

The streak of light had not yet approached Canglan Star, but its terrifying pressure arrived first.

It was this oppressive force that activated the protective array of Canglan Star.

As the streak of light drew closer, everyone finally saw what it was.

It was actually a golden imperial edict! (End of Chapter)
