Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Inside Sunset Valley.

The space carrier is sailing.

Since the last great battle, Sunset Valley has completely changed its appearance, and all that can be seen around is various kinds of broken rocks.

The demonic energy that once filled Sunset Valley has completely disappeared, leaving it in ruins.

Zhengjiao looked around at the surroundings and said with emotion:
"We were really lucky to have escaped back then."

Zheng Jiao had not forgotten the danger he had faced in Luoxia Valley, where he had almost been killed by that demonic cultivator.

Just then, the space carrier suddenly stopped.

Both Zheng Jiao and Chen Feng were looking ahead.

Not far ahead, countless spatial rifts appeared.

These spatial rifts were not repaired by the laws of space.

Generally speaking, after space is broken, the spatial laws of heaven and earth will automatically repair these broken spaces.

However, there is one exception.

That is, the power was too great, and it directly wiped out an entire area of ​​space.

In this situation, even the laws of space cannot repair it in a short time.

Such spatial rifts take a very long time to heal.

Some take only a few years, while others take decades.

This is why, in some cultivation planets, powerful cultivators are restricted from taking action.

Because if they go all out, it will cause irreversible damage to the cultivation star.

"Fellow Daoist, these are all spatial rifts. Do you want to go through them?" Zhengjiao asked.

"No need." Chen Feng then looked into the depths of Luoxia Valley and said, "This junior has something to ask Alliance Leader Lu!"

With Lu Linyuan's divine sense, he should have sensed it when he arrived at Luoxia Valley.

Not long after Chen Feng spoke.

A golden primordial spirit appeared before him.

This primordial spirit was none other than Youluan.

"Greetings, Senior Youluan," Chen Feng said.

Youluan glanced at Chen Feng: "Come with me."

After speaking, Youluan's primordial spirit emitted a golden light, enveloping Chen Feng within it.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiao immediately exclaimed, "I want to go too! I want to go too!"

But Youluan completely ignored Zhengjiao's words, and the golden light carried Chen Feng towards the depths of Luoxia Valley.

The golden light transformed into a golden thread, constantly weaving through the spatial rift.

Watching the golden thread disappear into the distance, the cunning beast revealed a look of fury:
"This woman is so disrespectful. Does she think I'm not even qualified to go over there?"

Zhengjiao felt that he was being looked down upon.

At the same time, he made up his mind.

After he merges with the main soul, he must come and find this woman to show her how powerful he is.

After weaving through Sunset Valley for a few breaths, the golden thread landed on an open space.

This place is located deep in the Valley of Sunset Glow, and it is very dark all around.

There are three people sitting cross-legged here.

The golden thread fell in front of the three people, revealing the figures of Chen Feng and You Luan.

After Youluan's primordial spirit appeared, it flew into its own body.

Lu Linyuan's voice rang out in the room: "Young friend, it's been a long time."

Chen Feng looked at the three people sitting cross-legged. You Luan and Nangong Wentian were no different from before, except that their auras were weaker than before.

Lu Linyuan, who was standing between the two, had completely changed his appearance at this moment.

One of his eyes is black, and the other is gold.

On his body, spiritual energy and demonic energy were intertwined.

Just looking at the other person made Chen Feng feel a sense of dread.

Although he had already heard from Youluan about Lu Linyuan imprisoning demonic cultivators.

But seeing it with his own eyes still surprised him.

"Senior, are you alright in this condition?" Chen Feng asked.

That demonic cultivator was already very strong; if he were to take over Lu Linyuan's body, his strength would likely be even greater.

Lu Linyuan said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I've already imprisoned that demonic cultivator. My current state is just because he's been constantly corrupting me with demonic energy. I'll be fine for the next hundred years."

Lu Linyuan's smile felt very strange to Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that there would be no problems within the next hundred years.

If this demonic cultivator escapes again, he will have no choice but to lead the Xingfeng Sect members to flee Canglan Star.

"Young friend, I've heard about your recent affairs. I didn't expect you to be able to kill six demon lords all by yourself. Judging from your aura, you should be close to advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wentian and You Luan both turned their gazes toward Chen Feng.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are simply not worth their attention.

But Chen Feng is different. Not only is his cultivation speed terrifyingly fast, but his combat strength is also quite high.

The group had previously predicted that Chen Feng would definitely be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Feng said, "Senior is joking. I am only at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage now, and it is still a long way from the Divine Transformation stage. I will only consider advancing to the Divine Transformation stage after I reach the Half-Step Divine Transformation stage."

Upon hearing this, Lu Linyuan shook his head:

“Young friend, the realm of half-step Nascent Soul is not really a realm. You don’t need to reach the realm of half-step Nascent Soul at all.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately cupped his hands in greeting: "Please enlighten me, senior."

Since entering the world of cultivation, Chen Feng has always been exploring on his own. Although Zheng Jiao has given him a lot of guidance, Zheng Jiao is ultimately just a demon beast.

But Lu Linyuan is different; he is currently the strongest person on Canglan Star.

Chen Feng also wanted to learn something from the other party.

Lu Linyuan said unhurriedly:

"Half-step Nascent Soul is a realm that some cultivators who want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage enter due to certain limitations. For example, some cultivators will directly trigger a Heavenly Tribulation after the spiritual power in their Nascent Soul reaches its limit."

"They use the Nascent Soul Tribulation to temper their Nascent Soul into a Nascent Soul, but because of insufficient mental state or lack of resources, this process is stopped, which is why they are called half-step Nascent Soul cultivators."

"There are also distinctions between half-step Nascent Soul cultivators. The first type is those who lack mental fortitude. These cultivators are often the prodigies of various great stars. It's not that they can't achieve Nascent Soul, but rather that they want to build up their foundation before advancing."

"Another reason is that they are forced to undergo the tribulation of becoming a god due to insufficient resources and their own talent."

"The former has the ability to break through but doesn't want to for the time being, while the latter is unable to break through, so the difference in strength between the two is quite large."

Upon hearing Lu Linyuan's explanation, Chen Feng immediately thought of Saintess Caixia and the others.

Those geniuses should be the former; they are capable of breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage.

However, due to insufficient mental state or lack of personal accumulation, he does not intend to achieve the Transformation God status for the time being.

The half-step Nascent Soul cultivators he encountered on Canglan Star belonged to the latter category. No wonder, given that even among half-step Nascent Soul cultivators, the difference in strength between them was so vast.

Lu Linyuan's voice rang out again in the arena:
"In fact, in ancient times, there was no such thing as half-step deity transformation. At that time, as long as a cultivator reached the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul, he could directly transform into a deity by sensing the primordial energy of the universe."

"Cosmic energy?" Chen Feng looked puzzled.

Nangong Wentian, standing to the side, looked at Chen Feng and asked, "You don't know about Yuan Qi?"

Chen Feng shook his head: "I have always cultivated on my own and have no master. I have never heard of Yuan Qi."

Upon hearing this, both Nangong Wentian and You Luan showed surprise.

Their surprise stemmed from the fact that Chen Feng had a powerful figure behind him, yet Chen Feng was now claiming he had no mentor.

However, their expressions quickly returned to normal.

Because they considered another possibility: that Chen Feng was being raised without supervision.

Some powerful beings choose to let their offspring roam freely when raising them.

Because free-range animals grow up quickly.

Lu Linyuan smiled and said, "Even if I don't tell you, you'll be able to sense the Yuan Qi when you break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

“Every cultivator possesses a certain amount of vital energy, which is derived from the innate essence of the cultivator. Once a cultivator’s vital energy is severely damaged, it will take a long time to recover. You should know this.”

“Cultivators possess vital energy, and the universe and cultivation stars naturally also possess vital energy. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators cultivate vital energy. Although spiritual energy is still needed, it is no longer a necessity.”

"Because primordial energy allows cultivators to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth."

"You should have noticed that when Nascent Soul cultivators use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fight, their power far surpasses that of Nascent Soul cultivators and half-step Nascent Soul cultivators, because they mobilize some of their own spiritual energy."

"And some great supernatural powers will be even more powerful if they are enhanced by vital energy."

Youluan, who was standing nearby, then added:
"The reason why Nascent Soul cultivators can move freely in the starry sky without fear of violent spiritual energy is because of the existence of primordial energy. Primordial energy can directly cleanse such violent spiritual energy and then allow Nascent Soul cultivators to absorb it."

"Also, the primordial spirit of a Nascent Soul cultivator is also related to primordial energy. You will know this when you break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

After hearing their introductions, Chen Feng understood many things he hadn't understood before.

He had witnessed the power of Nascent Soul cultivators many times. Although they used the same amount of spiritual energy, the Nascent Soul cultivators were far stronger than the Core Formation cultivators.

Chen Feng also sensed another kind of power from it, which was obviously primordial energy.

Chen Feng then said:

"A person needs time to recover from excessive damage to their vital energy. What if the vital energy of a cultivation star or a star field is severely damaged?"

Upon hearing Chen Feng ask this question, Nangong Wentian coldly replied:
"What else can we do? Destruction, of course. We cultivators are the ones who seize the creation of heaven and earth, which is why there are tribulations of lightning."

"What we can do is, after we perish, give back all our spiritual energy and vital energy to the world as a form of compensation."

Chen Feng nodded: "Thank you all for your explanations, seniors. I understand now."

Lu Linyuan then asked, "You came to see me not to inquire about this matter, right?"

Chen Feng said, "Yes, there is another matter I have come to discuss with you this time, senior."

Chen Feng then recounted the appearance of a spatial rift on Earth.

He didn't say the location of the spatial rift, but only its characteristics.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Lu Linyuan and the others' expressions changed drastically.

Seeing the sudden look on their faces, Chen Feng's heart tightened.
"Senior, is there a problem?"

"Where did you see this crack?" Nangong Wentian stared intently at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng said, "This is something I dreamed about."

Chen Feng made up a reason because he really couldn't think of any other excuse, so he might as well say that he was dreaming.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's answer, Nangong Wentian immediately glared at Chen Feng:
"Kid, this matter is very important; it concerns the safety of our Canglan Star."

Seeing Nangong Wentian suddenly become so serious, Chen Feng immediately said:
"That spatial rift is not on Canglan Star."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, the expressions on the faces of the others visibly improved.

"Senior, is this crack very dangerous?" Chen Feng asked impatiently.

Nangong Wentian then said:

"You probably haven't been to the extraterritorial battlefield, have you? The spatial rift you're talking about exists in the extraterritorial battlefield. This thing can't actually be called a spatial rift at all; it's a spatial node, but we prefer to call it a star vortex!"

"Simply put, this thing is like a teleportation array. It can teleport people over extremely long distances, even across several star systems."

"Otherwise, do you think those cultivators from beyond the realm can fly to our Weiyang Star Region just by flying? Even if the old monster Lianxu wanted to fly from one star region to another, it would take him thousands of years."

"Was this thing man-made?" Chen Feng's expression turned serious.

He had found it strange before, since the solar system is incredibly far away from other star systems.

The star systems within the world depicted in the painting must be even more distant.

How did those low-level cultivators manage to cross star systems to invade?

It now appears that these people all arrived at the Weiyang Starfield through this star vortex.

Lu Linyuan, standing beside him, shook his head and said:

"Starry vortexes are naturally formed in the universe. No one knows why these vortices are formed. The cracks you mentioned are just the initial appearance of the starry vortex. As time goes by, its shape will slowly change, like this."

Lu Linyuan waved his right hand, and a scene appeared in front of Chen Feng.

The image shows a dark spherical vortex, surrounded by a layer of light.

Upon seeing the vortex, Chen Feng was immediately stunned:

"A black hole? No, could this be a wormhole?!"

The images Lu Linyuan provided were remarkably similar to images of black holes captured by Earth's astronomical telescopes.

But since black holes can absorb even light and devour everything around them, it is clearly not a black hole.

Therefore, it can only be a wormhole.

Wormholes currently only exist in theory.

Long ago, some scientists on Earth believed that wormholes could connect two different times and spaces.

But it has always been just speculation.

"Wormhole? Why do you use that term?" Lu Linyuan looked at Chen Feng with a puzzled expression.

Chen Feng shook his head: "It's nothing. I just thought this thing looked like an insect, so I called it a wormhole."

Upon hearing this, all three looked at the vortex in the image.

But after looking at it for a long time, the three of them still couldn't find any connection between this thing and insects.

Lu Linyuan said with a smile:

"Young friend, you are indeed different from others, as you can associate this thing with an insect. However, it is not impossible. Perhaps it is an insect, but our cultivation is not high enough to see its true form."

Lu Linyuan's words made the other two nod in agreement.

Clearly, they also felt that what Lu Linyuan said was indeed possible.

Although a Nascent Soul cultivator is a powerful being, it does not mean they are omniscient or omnipotent.

Seeing Lu Linyuan's serious explanation, Chen Feng was both amused and exasperated, and he quickly changed the subject:
"Senior, I have another question. What does it mean if a spatial rift suddenly appears in a star field where spiritual energy is reviving?"

Chen Feng then recounted the spatial rifts in the solar system.

That's a real spatial rift.

He hoped to get an answer from Lu Linyuan. (End of Chapter)
