Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Not only Lu Linyuan, but also You Luan and Nangong Wentian sitting next to him, looked up at the sky with solemn expressions.

They were naturally aware of the divine punishment.

This is the manifestation of the will of the star field.

If it really descends, the protective array of Canglan Star will be no match for it.

"Who exactly is breaking through to the Void Refinement stage? There are only a handful of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators within the star, and apart from you, no one else has reached the peak."

Nangong Wentian looked at Lu Linyuan and asked.

Lu Linyuan frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Just then, a telephone rang in the room.

Lu Linyuan took out a satellite phone from his person.

Several years ago, Xingfeng Sect sold its satellite phones to cultivators from various domains, including the Cultivation Alliance.

To facilitate communication with the Cultivation Alliance, Lu Linyuan also carried one.

Today, the satellites of the Fengfengmen system are spread across four domains, enabling cross-domain communication via satellite phone.

Leng Cangqiong's voice came through the phone very quickly:

"Alliance Leader, are you about to advance to the Void Refinement stage?"

Clearly, Leng Cangqiong believed that the heavenly punishment was brought down by Lu Linyuan.

In his view, the only person on the entire Canglan Star capable of summoning the Void Refining Heavenly Punishment was Lu Linyuan.

"It wasn't me. Has anything unusual happened on the planet recently?" Lu Linyuan asked.

Upon hearing that the heavenly punishment was not brought about by Lu Linyuan, Leng Cangqiong was visibly surprised:

"If it's not you, Alliance Leader, then who is it? Nothing major has happened in the Star recently. If there is anything, it's that a Nascent Soul Tribulation has occurred at Xingfeng Sect. Some people are guessing that it's because Chen Beijing is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Upon hearing Chen Beijin's name, Lu Linyuan seemed to have thought of something and then said:

"I understand. I will handle the matter of the Heavenly Punishment. You should appease the various forces within the star."

Only a few people know about the Heavenly Punishment, since it concerns powerful cultivators at the Void Refinement stage.

If other cultivators on the cultivation star saw this strange phenomenon, they might mistake it for an invasion by cultivators from outside the region, thus causing chaos.

This red color merely indicates that the will of the star field is watching this area; the true divine punishment will still take some time to arrive.

"Okay, Alliance Leader, I understand." Leng Cangqiong didn't say anything more and then hung up the phone.

Youluan then looked at Lu Linyuan and asked:
Do you know who brought about this divine punishment?

Lu Linyuan said with a wry smile:
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be that kid."

"It's him? How is that possible? He's only at the Nascent Soul stage, how could he possibly have attracted the Void Refining Heavenly Punishment!" You Luan naturally knew that Lu Linyuan was referring to Chen Feng.

Lu Linyuan said in a deep voice:

"Have you forgotten the cultivation technique he practiced?"

“The Starry Sky Body Refining Technique.” You Luan opened her eyes, a sharp light flashing in them.

She naturally knew the characteristics of the "Star Body Refining Technique".

This technique will attract a heavenly tribulation with each breakthrough in realm, and each tribulation will be more powerful than the last.

But she still couldn't quite believe it. Chen Feng's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage had actually attracted the Heavenly Punishment of the Void Refining realm. This was simply too outrageous.

"Only he can do this on the entire Canglan Star. Contact Xingfeng Sect and tell that kid that the Heavenly Tribulation must be conducted in the starry sky. If it is conducted on Canglan Star, half of the entire Canglan Star will be destroyed!"

Lu Linyuan spoke in a deep voice.

Youluan nodded, and then took out a satellite phone from her body to make contact.

Lu Linyuan suddenly stood up at this moment.

Seeing Lu Linyuan stand up, Nangong Wentian, who was standing nearby, asked in confusion:
"You want to leave?"

He knew Lu Linyuan's current state; the demonic cultivator's consciousness had already intertwined with Lu Linyuan's divine sense.

In this state, Lu Linyuan could only stay in Luoxia Valley to maintain his sanity and avoid being affected by the demonic cultivators.

Leaving would likely worsen Lu Linyuan's condition.

Lu Linyuan said:
"The appearance of the Heavenly Punishment will definitely attract the attention of the major stars. I'm afraid it won't be long before powerful figures from other cultivation stars arrive. If I don't go and keep an eye on things, that kid probably won't survive this calamity."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wentian's expression also became solemn.

He naturally understood what Lu Linyuan meant; the powerful figures from other cultivation stars hadn't come to offer their congratulations.

In the Weiyang Starfield, a cultivator from a small star who attracts heavenly punishment to undergo tribulation and refine his Void Realm is considered to be in a very difficult situation.

Many powerful old monsters will come to stop them.

Because cultivators at the Void Refinement stage can be promoted to Great Stars, once a new Great Star appears, the Star Palace will redistribute cultivation resources.

The resources of a star system are limited. If a small star becomes a large star, it will have to share the benefits of other large stars.

Therefore, those old monsters naturally did not want their interests to be divided up.

Of course, these people wouldn't take action unless absolutely necessary; they would first try to recruit this newly-formed cultivator.

If they could recruit their own cultivation stars, then everyone would be happy.

But if they fail to recruit them, these old monsters will join forces to kill them.

This situation has occurred in many cultivation planets in the past.

“I will go with you,” Nangong Wentian said.

At this moment, Youluan also finished her phone call:

“I have already notified Xingfengmen, so I will go with you.”

Lu Linyuan looked at the two and shook his head: "No need, you won't be of much use. Just stay and guard the star."

After saying that, Lu Linyuan transformed into a streak of gold and black light and disappeared into the horizon.

The appearance of divine punishment not only caused strange phenomena on Canglan Star, but also in the Weiyang Star Region.

At this moment, in the starry sky of the Weiyang Starfield, streaks of red lightning are rapidly gathering from all directions.

These red lightning bolts intertwined and kept converging.

In just a short time, these red lightning bolts formed a sea of ​​lightning.

Divine punishment takes time to develop.

Once the sea of ​​lightning gathers to a certain extent, it will head towards the area where the person undergoing tribulation is located.

The gathering of the Thunder Sea was naturally discovered by the major super powers in the Weiyang Star Region.

However, only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above can detect the Heavenly Punishment.

Because only they can sense the changes in the primordial energy within the star field.

At the edge of the crimson sea of ​​lightning, figures have already appeared.

These people were the cultivators closest to the Thunder Sea, and each of them was an old monster at the Void Refinement level.

These figures were all blurry, and even though they were very close to each other, none of them could identify each other.

Once you reach the Refinement of Emptiness level, it's quite easy to keep your identity a secret.

"Everyone, it seems that another new fellow cultivator is about to appear. I remember the last time the Heavenly Punishment appeared was about six thousand years ago. I wonder which cultivation star the cultivator was from."

An aged voice rang out in the room.

The one speaking was a figure standing on the far left, whose body was twisted in an eerie way.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who broke through should be Jiang Huayi from Ziwei Star. He reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage a thousand years ago."

Another person spoke, this time in a very high-pitched voice.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the eerie figure who had spoken earlier immediately said:

“Absolutely impossible! Although Jiang Huayi has been at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for a long time, he has not yet glimpsed the power of the laws; he is still far from it.”

A high-pitched voice asked with a playful tone:
"Oh? This fellow Daoist knows so much about the Jiang Clan. Could it be that you are a member of the Jiang Clan? May I ask if you are Fellow Daoist Henian or Fellow Daoist Qingxu?"

The others also looked at the figure that resembled a member of the Jiang clan. The figure did not continue to hide; his form shifted, and he quickly revealed himself to be an elderly man with white hair.

This old man was none other than one of the two old men who had planned to ambush Chen Feng outside the Void Realm.

He is also a Void Refinement Elder of the Jiang Clan.

"I didn't expect it to really be Fellow Daoist Henian." The figure with the shrill voice became even more playful in tone.

Jiang Henian gave a cold laugh:
"Old Woodcutter, stop pretending. I could smell your stench the moment you arrived."

The figure with the shrill voice then burst into laughter.

His figure solidified in the arena, and an old man with withered skin, like a dried corpse, appeared in the arena.

The old man was dressed in a large black cloak and held a staff made of some kind of bone.

As soon as the old man appeared, the people around him all moved away from him.

Old Demon Woodcutter is one of the most renowned Void Refinement experts in the Weiyang Star Region.

The reason why Old Demon Woodcutter is famous is because he once slaughtered all the holy spirits on a cultivation star.

Because of this incident, Old Demon Woodcutter has been wanted by the Star Palace.

But to this day, this great demon is still alive and well, which is enough to demonstrate his power.

"It really is you!" Jiang Henian stared at the Woodcutter.

Old Woodcutter grinned and said:
"Fellow Daoist Henian, I heard that your Jiang clan's genius was recently crippled, and your Jiang clan has yet to catch the culprit. Is this true?"

"Hmph, it's none of your business what our Jiang clan does."

Jiang Henian clearly didn't have a good impression of Old Demon Qiao.

"I was just curious. Since you won't tell me, then forget it."

Old Woodcutter didn't press the matter further; instead, he turned to look at the distant sea of ​​thunder.

"Tsk tsk tsk, such a huge sea of ​​lightning, this fellow Daoist undergoing tribulation seems to be quite extraordinary. I am now very curious about his identity."

"Could it be a cultivator from the Star Palace?" someone suddenly asked.

There aren't many people in the Weiyang Star Region who can advance to the Void Refinement stage. If there's one that most people don't know about, it's probably the Star Palace.

Although the Star Palace controls the Weiyang Star Region, the major powers are not very clear about the internal situation of the Star Palace.

"We'll find out soon enough." Old Woodcutter didn't speak again, but waited quietly.

The others also waited quietly for the thunder sea to gather.

Just then, the red lightning that had gathered from all around gradually began to disappear, and the sea of ​​lightning began to solidify.

The moment Lei Hai took shape, the space in front of him cracked open.

Then, the entire sea of ​​lightning transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the spatial rift.

"Hahaha, I'll take my leave first!"

The old woodcutter said something, and then his space became illusory.

His figure also vanished from the scene as a thin line.

The others also used their own methods to chase after Lei Hai.

Although Lei Hai disappeared into the space, those present were all cultivators at the Void Refinement stage. The divine senses of such powerful individuals could penetrate space.

Lei Hai darted wildly through the space at great speed.

If the Woodcutter and his companions relied solely on their own speed, they would not be able to catch up.

However, many places in the Weiyang Starfield have inter-starfield teleportation arrays and star vortexes.

The Star Palace Vortex and teleportation array can greatly shorten their travel time.

After passing through several star vortexes and teleportation arrays, the Void Refinement Realm experts quickly realized that something was wrong.

Because Lei Hai's direction of travel was actually at the edge of the Weiyang Starfield.

Just as the group was wondering what was going on, Lei Hai, who was traversing the space, mysteriously disappeared.

This disappearance was very sudden, as if it had lost its target and simply vanished.

Sensing the disappearance of Lei Hai, the several Void Refinement Realm elders immediately stopped their pursuit.

"What happened? Why did the Heavenly Punishment suddenly disappear?" A Void Refinement Elder looked surprised.

The others also had their brows furrowed.

They had never seen anything like this before.

Generally speaking, once divine punishment occurs, it is unlikely to disappear.

The heavenly punishment will only cease when it falls upon a cultivator undergoing tribulation.

Because this represents the will of the star field.

The old woodcutter stared at the endless starry sky in the distance and said in a shrill voice:

"There are only two possibilities for the sudden disappearance of the Heavenly Punishment: either the target has left the Weiyang Starfield and is no longer within its range, or the target has perished and the Heavenly Punishment has lost its target and has naturally disappeared as well."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned even more deeply.

Leaving the Weiyang Starfield is clearly impossible.

The Weiyang Starfield is so vast that even for these Void Refinement Realm experts, leaving it would not be something they could do in a short time.

Moreover, even if the other party really leaves the Weiyang Starfield, it's no different from courting death.

Within the Weiyang Starfield, Heavenly Punishment is formed from the condensed will of the Weiyang Starfield.

But if it happens outside the star field, what descends is not divine punishment, but the legendary void tribulation.

This belongs to the will of a universe, and only legendary immortals could possibly overcome such a calamity.

No one who isn't an idiot would leave the star field to undergo tribulation in the endless void.

Then there is only one possibility left: the person undergoing the tribulation is already dead.

"Which cultivation star is Lei Hai heading in? Fellow Daoist He Nian, do you know?"

Old Woodcutter looked at Jiang Henian.

Jiang Henian waved his right hand, and a star map formed from spiritual energy appeared before everyone.

This is the starry sky of the Weiyang Starfield, recording all the planets in the Weiyang Starfield.

Besides the cultivation planets with spiritual energy, there are also some desolate, uninhabited planets.

Jiang Henian watched for a while, then said:

"There is only one small star ahead, named Canglan Star."

"Xiao Xing?" The surprise on everyone's faces deepened.

Little Star has attracted divine punishment, which is a very rare occurrence.

At this moment, Jiang Henian frowned:

"Huh, this cultivation star isn't even within the range of the Star Domain Array?"

The others also looked at the star map upon seeing this.

Most planets on the star map are surrounded by a blue halo, but there are some areas outside the blue halo, and these areas are mostly uninhabited planets.

This includes Canglan Star.

The old woodcutter's face showed interest:

"This is truly interesting. Not only has a small star attracted divine punishment, but it is also outside the range of the Star Domain Array. I haven't encountered such an interesting thing in a long time. I want to see what secrets this cultivation star holds."

A Void Refinement expert standing nearby advised:
“Fellow Daoist Qiao, this star is not within the range of the Star Domain Array, and the Star Palace has long issued a prohibition that we Void Refinement cultivators are not allowed to leave the range of the Star Domain Array without authorization.”

The old woodcutter said indifferently, "Does the Star Palace say whatever it wants? No one can tell me where I go. If you don't want to go, then stay here."

After speaking, the Old Demon Woodcutter transformed into a thin thread and flew towards the distant starry sky. (End of Chapter)
