Double penetration, starting from being a trader

"Elder Ge, you've misunderstood. We had no intention of having a conflict with your sect."

A cultivator stepped forward and bowed to Ge Yunxuan.

This was a cultivator from the Southern Region, so naturally he recognized Ge Yunxuan.

Ge Yunxuan glanced at the cultivator who had spoken:

"The outer sea has been blocked by us, and no one is allowed to enter."

The cultivator nodded quickly:

"Yes, Elder Ge, I will take my men and leave immediately."

Without any hesitation, the cultivator immediately led the cultivators from the Southern Region away.

Others may not know Ge Yunxuan's style of doing things, but the cultivators of the Southern Region certainly do.

Although the opponent was only at the Golden Core stage, he was still very tough even when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator.

If it involves anything that threatens Xingfengmen, the other party won't care about your identity and will take action immediately.

The cultivators from the Southern Region had all left, and the remaining cultivators were somewhat hesitant.

They all turned to look at the other Nascent Soul cultivators in the arena.

The Nascent Soul cultivator who had previously argued with Xingfeng Sect looked at Ge Yunxuan and said:

"I am Cao Xian, an elder of the Northern Region's Sky-Supporting Alliance."

Ge Yunxuan remained silent as Cao Xian introduced himself, only staring at him coldly.

Seeing that Ge Yunxuan remained silent, Cao Xian continued:
"Elder Ge, although your sect is powerful, it is still a force of my Canglan Star. Since ancient times, when our Canglan Star's Nascent Soul seniors break through, they have invited major forces within the star to come and observe, so that we low-level cultivators can gain some insights from the breakthrough."

"With the imminent invasion of extraterrestrial cultivators, this is precisely the time to strengthen our forces on Canglan Star. Your esteemed sect, as a pillar of Canglan Star, is here to prevent us from attending the ceremony. Aren't you afraid that other forces will object?"

Cao Xian still didn't want to give up; he had been stuck in the mid-Nascent Soul stage for a long time.

If one could absorb some of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was released when a Nascent Soul expert broke through.

There is a high probability that a breakthrough will be achieved.

Ge Yunxuan remained silent, simply waiting in place.

Cao Xian frowned: "Elder Ge, why don't you speak?"

A Golden Core cultivator actually ignored him.

If it were any other force, he would have already killed them.

But since the other party was a member of Xingfengmen, he could only condemn them from a moral high ground.

After a moment, Ge Yunxuan's voice finally came:
"Ten breaths have passed. Since you all don't want to leave, then stay here forever!"

Upon hearing Ge Yunxuan's words, the cultivators in the arena immediately changed their expressions.

Then everyone remembered that Ge Yunxuan had mentioned ten breaths earlier.

If they do not leave after ten breaths, kill them on the spot!

Cao Xian shouted loudly:

"You, a mere Golden Core cultivator, think you can kill us all?"

But just as Cao Xian finished speaking...

Suddenly, more than a dozen red rays descended from the sky.

The red light was extremely fast, reaching the heads of more than a dozen people in the arena in an instant!
After being struck by the red light, more than a dozen cultivators, including Cao Xian, were immediately reduced to dust.

Even those at the Nascent Soul stage were powerless against this crimson light.

More than a dozen people were killed in an instant!

The other cultivators in the arena were utterly terrified by this scene, and they all frantically fled in all directions.

They had no idea where those red lights had come from.

Its power was so terrifying that it could instantly kill even a Nascent Soul cultivator.

It didn't take a while.

The cultivators who had gathered there all dispersed and left.

Ge Yunxuan did not send anyone to chase after those people, nor did he use space-based weapons to attack them again.

After ten years, Xingfengmen has more than sixty space-based weapons.

All sixty space-based weapons are suspended in orbit around Canglan Star.

In addition to space-based weapons, Xingfengmen has launched thousands of satellites over the past decade, which now cover the four major domains of Canglan Star.

"Elder." Fan Long approached Ge Yunxuan and greeted him respectfully.

He hadn't expected that Ge Yunxuan would kill those Nascent Soul cultivators without hesitation.

Ge Yunxuan looked at Fan Long and said:
"These people must die! Otherwise, even more will come."

Fan Long nodded, then respectfully said:

"I understand. I will never make the same mistake again. Elder, is the sect leader about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

The other powerful figures from Xingfeng Sect also looked at Ge Yunxuan.

Upon learning that someone inside the sect was undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation, their first thought was that Chen Feng was about to break through.

In their view, it was only natural for Chen Feng to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This understanding is something that no other force has achieved.

It should be noted that it takes at least several hundred years for Nascent Soul cultivators from other forces to break through to the Divine Transformation stage.

Chen Feng had only recently become a Nascent Soul cultivator, but the people of Xingfeng Sect felt that it was only natural for him to break through to the Divine Transformation stage.

Ge Yunxuan shook his head:
"No, it's Senior Zhengjiao who's breaking through."

Fan Long was immediately startled upon hearing this: "Senior Zhengjiao is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

The others also showed surprise.

They were naturally very familiar with Zheng Jiao, as he was the strongest person in Xingfeng Sect besides the sect leader.

If Zhengjiao can successfully transform into a god, it will naturally benefit Xingfeng as well.

Ge Yunxuan didn't say anything more, but took out his phone to check the messages.

Liu Qian had already shared information about Zheng Jiao's tribulation of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator in the group chat.

The Xingfengmen internal group is quite lively at this moment.

Beaver: [If Senior Zhengjiao succeeds in breaking through, then our Xingfeng Sect will have its first Nascent Soul expert!]

Beaver was naturally very excited, as Zhengjiao was a demon, and so was she.

The breakthrough of the Zhenjiao to the Nascent Soul stage will further elevate the status of their demon race within the Xingfeng Sect.

He Menghan: [Senior Zhengjiao will definitely succeed in his breakthrough. I'll go to the sect to congratulate him after he does.]

He Menghan joined Xingfengmen's group chat some time ago, which means she has truly entered Xingfengmen's high-level circle.

At this moment, Liu Qian sent a message:

[Yunxuan, how are things on your end?]

Upon seeing this message, Ge Yunxuan immediately replied: "I've already driven those people away."

Beaver asked, "What happened? Should I come help?"

Beaver is no longer with Xingfengmen; she went to the Western Regions several years ago.

Through Zhengjiao's machinations, Beaver has become the deputy temple master of the Demon God Temple.

Now he manages the Demon God Palace with Su Wu.

Almost as soon as Beaver sent her message, Yue Yao sent hers:

[You're so far away, by the time we get here to help, it'll be too late. Don't worry, I'm here inside, so nothing will happen. If anyone dares to come, I'll nuke them.]

Beaver: [Yeah, yeah, you're the best! How's that Nangong Yanyue doing?]

Yue Yao: [She's doing great. She comes to the workshop with me every day now. When are you coming back? We should get together.]

The two women immediately started chatting idly in the group, as if no one else was around.

Everyone seemed to have gotten used to this, and no one spoke while Yue Yao and Beaver were chatting.

Because once these two women start talking, if they get involved, no one knows what they might say.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

For the past three days, the thunderstorms in the great forest have not stopped at all.

More and more cultivators from the Xingfeng Sect gathered outside the great forest, all of them sitting cross-legged around the forest, cultivating.

The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth had almost materialized.

"It's been three days, and Senior Zhengjiao's tribulation still hasn't ended?"

Liu Qian looked at the distant horizon, a look of worry on his face.

"Don't worry, Senior Zhengjiao will definitely be alright," Yinyin comforted her from the side. Just then, the lightning flashing in the distant forest gradually subsided.

At the same time, the spiritual energy around them grew increasingly dense.

"The tribulation is over, and the vital energy will soon enter the body!" Elder Meng exclaimed suddenly.

He clearly had some understanding of how cultivators could advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Liu Qian asked, "Has this meant you've successfully broken through?"

Elder Meng shook his head: "Not yet. The tribulation of Nascent Soul is only the first step. After that, you still need to go through the tribulation of inner demons. Only by overcoming both can your primordial spirit be completely stabilized."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian's relaxed expression turned serious again.

Time passed slowly, and about half an hour later.

A terrifying pressure suddenly appeared over the great forest.

As soon as this oppressive aura appeared, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the cultivators sitting cross-legged around them.

Many people collapsed to the ground.

However, Liu Qian and some other martial artists did not feel anything was amiss.

Liu Qian looked at Elder Meng and asked in confusion:
"What's happening here?"

Elder Meng's face was also pale at this moment, and he said in a trembling voice:

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the emergence of the primordial energy of heaven and earth. This is a higher level of existence than spiritual energy, and only Nascent Soul cultivators can control it!"

"Manager Liu, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely pure, which is of great help to us low-level cultivators! I will cultivate first and then talk to you later."

Elder Meng then sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Not only him, but the other cultivators of Xingfeng Sect, although affected by the pressure, all endured the discomfort and sat cross-legged on the ground to cultivate.

Only a quarter of an hour had passed when a cultivator in the arena broke through to the next level.

Elder Meng's aura suddenly surged, and he directly advanced from the early stage of Golden Core to the middle stage of Golden Core.

Sensing the changes in his body, Elder Meng's face lit up with joy:

"It's rumored that the spiritual energy generated by a Nascent Soul cultivator's breakthrough is of great help to lower-level cultivators. I didn't expect it to be true! It's just a pity that there's so little pure spiritual energy."

Elder Meng looked around and found that although there were many Golden Core cultivators who had achieved breakthroughs like him.

But many more people failed to make a breakthrough.

Those who failed to make a breakthrough all wore expressions of disappointment.

This is because there are too many cultivators here, and the amount of spiritual energy that each person can receive is very limited.

Just then, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the distant horizon!

"Hahaha, I've succeeded! I've succeeded!"

The laughter was deafening, echoing in all directions, sounding as if divine might had descended upon the world.

The people around looked up.

A golden phantom appeared in the sky above the great forest.

The golden phantom was so large that it almost filled the entire sky.

At first, the golden phantom was still illusory, but it quickly solidified, revealing an enormous beast of immense size.

This behemoth's head alone was equivalent to a mountain.

The golden behemoth glanced at the group of Xingfeng Sect cultivators outside the great forest.

The cultivators of Xingfeng Sect felt a chill run down their spines when they were stared at by the giant beast.

In front of the other party, they were like ants.

Elder Meng was the first to react, and he respectfully bowed to the golden beast:
"Congratulations on your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage! From now on, you may have a chance to live forever!"

The other cultivators also bowed and offered their congratulations.

Although the golden behemoth was enormous, they recognized it at a glance as the Crimson Demon.

After all, not everyone can have that defiant gaze.

Amidst the congratulations of the crowd, the enormous golden primordial spirit of the cunning demon slowly dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, a black monster of normal size flew over from a distance.

This black monster was covered in black scales, had three long horns on its head, and had crystalline bone spikes on its limbs.

This monster was naturally cunning and treacherous.

The golden phantom just now was merely his primordial spirit separated from his body; this is his true form.

Liu Qian hurriedly stepped forward:
"Senior, you've finally broken through! I was so worried about you before."

Zhengjiao glanced at Liu Qian and said confidently:

"What's there to worry about? Isn't it a sure thing that I'm breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Liu Qian laughed heartily:
"You're right, senior. I was just worrying unnecessarily."

Zhengjiao then said:

"My breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage is not only a major event for me, but also for the Xingfeng Sect. Go and inform all forces in the inner and outer seas that I am going to hold a Nascent Soul Ceremony!"

The Ceremony of Transformation into a Divine Being!

This is something that many Nascent Soul cultivators hold after advancing to the next level.

Firstly, it serves to inform other Nascent Soul level forces that a new Nascent Soul has emerged.

Secondly, it helps to establish prestige within one's own faction.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian hesitated, "This..."

Zhengjiao glared at him: "What? You disagree?"

Yinyin, who was standing to the side, suddenly said:

"Manager Liu wants to hear my brother's opinion."

Upon hearing Yin Yin's words, Zheng Jiao immediately turned his gaze towards Xingfeng Sect:

"There's no need to listen to his opinion. He's only been in seclusion for ten years, and it will probably take him another hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul stage. If we wait for his opinion, who knows how long we'll have to wait."

Liu Qian was shocked: "It will take that long? But the sect leader told me that he could trigger the Heavenly Tribulation in a dozen years at most, and then he would only need to go to the Heavenly Illusion Pool to temper his mind."

Zheng gave Liu Qian a sly look:
“You believe him just because he says so? Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is incredibly difficult. Even if he has a Nascent Soul artifact, he still needs to cultivate for a long time to reach the perfection of his realm before he can break through. Go and prepare for the Nascent Soul Ceremony now, don’t waste any time.”

Having finally broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, Zhengjiao naturally wanted to show off his power.

Just as Zhengjiao finished speaking.

Suddenly, the once clear blue sky changed color, turning blood red.

This blood-red color appeared very suddenly, as if someone had directly dyed the sky red with a layer of dye.

"This is..." Zheng Jiao's eyes widened, filled with shock.

Liu Qian also looked up at the sky:

"How is this going?"

Just as Liu Qian finished speaking, an even more terrifying pressure than when Zheng Jiao had undergone his tribulation appeared between heaven and earth.

Not only in the Northern Territory, but the entire sky of Canglan Star turned blood red at this moment.

All living beings on Canglan Star looked up at the sky at this moment.

Fear filled everyone's face.

Inside Sunset Valley.

Lu Linyuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.

His black and gold eyes were fixed intently on the sky.

"Divine punishment! How is this possible!"

He rarely showed any emotion, but at this moment his face was filled with shock and astonishment.

Heavenly punishment is a legendary tribulation of lightning.

To be precise, this should no longer be considered a tribulation of lightning.

Ordinary lightning tribulations are merely the condensed will of a cultivation star, specifically designed to bring calamities upon cultivators.

But divine punishment is different; it represents the will of the entire star field.

Throughout history, only cultivators at the Void Refinement stage have been able to trigger divine punishment.

Because cultivators who reach the Void Refinement stage need to steal the primordial energy within the star field, the star field will unleash heavenly punishment when a Void Refinement cultivator breaks through.

But now, a divine punishment has appeared on their Canglan Star.

Could it be that someone on their Canglan Star has advanced to the Void Refinement stage? (End of Chapter)
