Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Amidst the constant turmoil on Canglan Star.

Chen Feng, however, was sitting cross-legged in a dense forest in the Void Heaven Realm.

Before him stood the large purple tree, which was the spirit of the Void Realm.

"I really have nothing left." Chen Feng looked at the branches reaching out from the big tree and said helplessly.

He had been teleported to the Void Realm a day earlier, and the situation there was no different from before.

As soon as he arrived, he was teleported to the Spirit Realm of the Void Heaven.

Then the other party asked him for star energy.

Chen Feng had no choice but to let the other party absorb his star energy, but after absorbing it, the other party wanted more.

Even after he explained many times that he no longer had any, the purple tree remained relentless.

"Next time, I'll come back again next time," Chen Feng said earnestly.

The spirit in the Void Realm immediately brandished the branch: "Liar..."

"How am I a liar?" Chen Feng was speechless.

A faint voice came from the Void Realm:

"You promised me you'd come, but it's been so long..."

It took the other person a full quarter of an hour to finish saying that.

Chen Feng said with a wry smile:

"My stellar energy is not so easy to obtain; it takes time to absorb. If you let me go now, I will definitely come back earlier next time."

Entering the Void Realm was easy for him, but getting out would be difficult.

Although he possesses the token, he has no way to leave if the spirits of the Void Heaven Realm do not agree.

Moreover, ever since he arrived here, he has been bound by a force and is unable to move at all.

Although he had reached a cooperation agreement with the spirit of the Void Realm last time, it was ultimately just a transaction.

Once he has no more stellar energy to give to the other party.

Chen Feng was certain that the other party would turn on him.

This is why Chen Feng is unwilling to return to the Void Realm.

The spirit of the Void Realm did not believe Chen Feng's words and continued to speak, but it spoke very slowly.

Chen Feng considered himself a very patient person, but even he had a bit of a headache facing this Void Realm spirit.

Instead of waiting idly, he took out the teleportation mirror and began to check the messages.

One day passed.

He wanted to know why the Star Palace's decree had descended upon Canglan Star.

Inside the teleportation mirror, there was already a message from Huang Ting.

After reading the message, Chen Feng's face darkened:

"They really came for me, and it's a Void Refinement Realm expert at that!"

Facing the Void Refinement Old Monster, Chen Feng's many trump cards were useless; the difference in their cultivation levels was simply too great.

Why does this star palace think I'm a cultivator from another realm?

Chen Feng couldn't help but feel doubtful again.

Although he offended many forces in the Weiyang Starry Sky, he did not offend the Star Palace.

Moreover, the Star Palace itself is a special force that maintains the order of the star field.

They wouldn't target him just because he killed the prodigies of those factions.

The main reason the Star Palace sought him out was because they believed he was a cultivator from beyond the realm.

Why would Ke Xinggong think he was a cultivator from beyond the realm?

"Could it be that the Star Palace knows about my travels between the two worlds?!" Chen Feng suddenly had this thought.

But he quickly dismissed his own idea.

If the Star Palace truly possesses such heaven-defying abilities, it would be able to know that he travels between the two worlds.

From the very beginning, when he transmigrated to this world, the people from the Star Palace came knocking on his door.

"This crisis is over, but being targeted by the Star Palace is not a good thing."

Chen Feng felt very heavy-hearted at this moment.

He was already wanted by a major power in the Weiyang Star Region.

Now that Xinggong is also looking for him, there will definitely be a lot of trouble ahead.

Chen Feng was somewhat relieved that he had managed to evade the Star Palace's search.

He previously felt that it was not worth sacrificing three hundred years of lifespan for a single extension.

In retrospect, those three hundred years of lifespan were well spent.

If he hadn't deduced that scene, he probably wouldn't have chosen to come to the Void Realm.

Once targeted by the Void Refinement Old Monster, he wouldn't have time to use the Void Heaven Token.

The activation of the Void Heaven Token requires a certain amount of time, during which the Void Refining Old Monster can completely take action and capture him.

Chen Feng then looked at the other messages sent by Huang Ting.

The next news was about Canglan Star being abandoned.

Huang Ting was clearly very worried about the future of Canglan Star.

"I never imagined things would develop this way. The planet Canglan will not be peaceful from now on."

Chen Feng could imagine what would happen if cultivators from beyond the realm really attacked.

The entire planet Canglan will be plunged into chaos.

Right now, all he can do is improve his own strength and that of the Xingfeng Sect in order to cope with the impending chaos.

"The advancement to the Nascent Soul stage and interstellar trade can no longer be delayed. Antimatter weapons must be mass-produced, and the number of space-based weapons must also be increased."

Chen Feng felt a sense of urgency and immediately looked at the large tree in front of him, saying:

"What do you want in exchange for letting me leave? I've already told you, I have no more star energy now."

The large purple tree shook its branches: "You..."

"Alright, stop talking. I can swear here and now that I'll come back again in a month at most. Is that alright?"

Chen Feng didn't want to waste time listening to the other person finish speaking.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, the purple tree immediately began to glow.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Feng felt the binding force on his body disappear.

Without hesitation, Chen Feng immediately made a vow to the purple tree.

After making the vow, Chen Feng asked, "Can I take something back with me?"

He was still very tempted by the various rare and precious materials in the Void Realm.

If they could take all the resources from the Void Heaven Realm, then Xingfeng Sect would basically have no shortage of spirit stones and resources.

Moreover, within the Void Heaven Realm, there are many ancient cultivators' cave dwellings.

There are countless wonderful things there.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, the purple tree immediately began to shake its branches rapidly, clearly rejecting Chen Feng's request.

"Why? You don't need these things." Chen Feng asked unwillingly.

The purple tree replied:

"Master. Rules"

It took Chen Feng a full quarter of an hour to listen to what the purple tree had to say.

According to the other party, the Void Realm can only be opened once every three thousand years, and during this period, no one can enter the Void Realm to obtain the resources inside.

The reason he was able to reach the Void Realm was because the purple tree was the spirit of the Void Realm and forcibly kept him there.

He can only move within this area; once he leaves, he will be obliterated by the rules of the Void Realm.

Moreover, as a spirit of the Void Realm, the purple tree cannot violate this rule.

This result greatly disappointed Chen Feng: "Alright, then I'll go back."

The purple tree then spoke again:
"you can"

Another fifteen minutes passed.

Chen Feng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "You mean, as long as I provide you with enough stellar energy, you can give me the things inside the Void Realm?"

The branches of the large purple tree immediately nodded in agreement.

“Okay, this deal is fair.” Chen Feng nodded. He had done this deal before, when he used Star Energy to exchange for the Soul Extraction Technique.

He then added, "Since I gave you stellar energy this time, aren't you going to give me anything in return?"

The purple tree remained silent for a while before responding to Chen Feng's words.

A moment later, Chen Feng understood what the other party meant.

According to the other party, even a spirit in the Void Realm could not take something from the Void Realm without paying a price.

Each time, it requires the consumption of one's own power, which in turn requires stellar energy.

The stellar energy of the purple tree is currently far from sufficient to retrieve anything from the Void Realm.

"Then I'll be leaving now, and I'll come back in a month." Having not gotten any benefits, Chen Feng had no interest in staying any longer.

He reactivated the Void Heaven Decree.

Soon, his figure disappeared from the scene.

After Chen Feng disappeared, the purple tree began to become transparent until it finally disappeared completely.

Canglan Star, the outer sea.

On the sea, many fish were leaping and frolicking.

In the open seas, apart from the Black Sea, most areas are only inhabited by common fish species.

This is also because of the scarcity of resources in the open sea, so many cultivators hunt monsters in various parts of the open sea in order to obtain cultivation resources.

After countless years, almost all the monsters in the outer seas have become extinct.

Only in special areas like the Black Sea can monsters survive.

Just then, a spatial distortion suddenly appeared in the sky above the originally calm sea.

The moment this spatial distortion appeared, it startled the fish on the sea surface, causing them to scatter in all directions.

Chen Feng's figure emerged from the distorted space.

Upon appearing on the sea surface, Chen Feng immediately dispersed his divine sense.

"They actually teleported to the outer sea? That's a huge discrepancy."

Through his divine sense, Chen Feng already knew his location.

He was quite familiar with the outer sea, because the spiritual energy of the outer sea was different from that of other regions.

Last time he returned from the Void Realm, he was teleported to the Northern Region; this time, he was teleported to the Outer Sea.

Chen Feng was genuinely worried that the next teleportation might send him directly to some dangerous place.

For example, the Black Abyss in the Black Sea; if he were teleported there, he would be in great danger.

"Next time, I'll have to have a proper talk with that tree. We can't just teleport like this anymore."

Chen Feng then observed his surroundings and found that it wasn't far from Moon Dragon Island.

He plans to visit Moon Island.

Before leaving, Chen Feng contacted Huang Ting using the communication mirror, asking Huang Ting to notify Zheng Jiao to return to the Southern Region.

He doesn't plan to go to the Cultivation Alliance anymore.

Moonlit Island, Xingfengmen Branch.

As a branch of Xingfengmen in the outer sea, Moonlit Island is quite powerful.

Today, the total number of people in the Moon Island branch is more than 5,000.

Most of these 5,000 people are cultivators.

After Xingfengmen unified the outer sea, many independent cultivators from the outer sea joined the Moon Dragon Island branch.

Today, Moon Island has become the largest island in the open sea.

This place not only houses the Xingfeng Sect, the strongest force in the outer sea, but also the Xingfeng Market, the largest market in the outer sea.

The Xingfeng Market has expanded from one market to five, located in different areas of Moonlong Island.

Within the Moonlit Island branch.

He Menghan and Yan Ying were sitting here, and sitting opposite the two women were Luo Ming, the head of the Luo family, and Jian Wuji.

The Luo family and the Wenjian Sect have now become affiliated forces of the Xingfeng Sect.

These two factions are also helping the Moonlit Island branch manage the market.

"Steward He, the batch of goods that Black Dragon sent has been replenished to the major markets today, but I'm afraid they will be sold out in less than three days."

Luo Ming spoke to He Menghan.

He Menghan said, "Manager Liu has already informed me that he will send another batch of goods from inside the gate, and they will be delivered soon."

"I'll be relieved if the restock can be delivered in time," Luo Ming said with a smile.

The Luo family now owns a certain share of the Moonlit Island Market.

If business is good in the market, the Luo family's profits will also increase.

Yan Ying, who was standing to the side, then said:
"I heard that the factories inside the sect have fully resumed operations. Deacon, should we send some cultivators over to help?"

There are many cultivators on Moonlit Island, and their daily task is simply to maintain the safety of the market.

It's really a waste.

If these cultivators could be sent to the Northern Territory to help produce firearms, it would undoubtedly increase production capacity.

Although the factory for the ventilation doors is all machine-operated, people are still needed to move some things.

Cultivators are much more suited to be porters than mortals.

Upon hearing this suggestion, He Menghan hesitated and said, "I'm afraid they won't be willing."

Jian Wuji spoke:
"Why wouldn't they be willing? Can't cultivators do the most basic work? As long as we give them spirit stones, they will definitely be willing. I think this is a good suggestion. Steward, you can talk to Steward Liu about it."

Both Jian Wuji and Luo Ming's interests are now tied to the Moon Dragon Island branch.

They naturally hoped that the Moonlit Island branch could gain a higher status within the Xingfeng Sect.

After Ge Yunxuan left, the Moonlit Island branch's status within Xingfengmen declined.

The main reason is that He Menghan did not join the cabinet.

Without joining the cabinet, one lacks sufficient influence within Xingfengmen.

"Yes, I will discuss this matter with Manager Liu later," He Menghan nodded and said.

Just then, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the hall.

Luo Ming and Jian Wuji both stood up at the same time: "Who is it!"

Both of them were Golden Core cultivators, yet they didn't notice anyone approaching the main hall.

They didn't realize it until the other person entered the main hall.

But as that figure entered the main hall, the expressions on their faces changed.

He Menghan immediately stepped forward and bowed:
"I've met the sect master!"

Luo Ming and Jian Wuji also quickly bowed to Chen Feng.

Both of them were somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting Chen Feng to come here.

"I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd come and see what's going on on Moon Dragon Island. Why am I seeing so many cultivators going in and out?"

Chen Feng went straight to the point, having naturally been conveyed through the scroll.

After he arrived at Moonlong Island, he discovered that many cultivators had gathered there.

The number of people was several times greater than when he last came.

Hearing this, He Menghan was somewhat surprised:

"Sect Leader, you're unaware of what's happened in the last two days?"

"I really don't know, tell me."

Chen Feng found a seat and sat down.

Yan Ying, who was standing nearby, quickly poured tea for Chen Feng.

He Menghan then recounted the recent surge in sales of Xingfengmen's weapons and equipment.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Feng was somewhat surprised after hearing He Menghan's words: "I never thought that one day I would be able to make a fortune from war."

"Sect Master, it's not just us; the demand for weapons and equipment is increasing across the Inner Sea. Steward Liu was just talking to me yesterday, saying that the sect is running out of raw materials."

He Menghan brought up the matter at the opportune moment.

"Then I'll head back to the Northern Territory first." Chen Feng, who had just sat down, also stood up.

There weren't enough raw materials, so he had to go back to the modern world to send some over. (End of Chapter)
