Double penetration, starting from being a trader

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what should we do now?"

Someone asked Jiang Henian.

Jiang Henian said with a smile:

“We are not like the Old Demon Woodcutter. He is being hunted down by the Star Palace, so he naturally does not need to abide by the rules of the Star Palace. Now that the invasion of extraterrestrial cultivators may be coming soon, it is still dangerous to rashly leave the Star Domain Formation.”

"So we're not going to investigate this divine punishment?" the cultivator who had spoken earlier asked again.

"Since the Heavenly Punishment has disappeared, it means that no new Void Refinement cultivators will appear. I have no interest in investigating further. Please do as you wish."

After saying that, Jiang Henian transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

Seeing this, the others also stopped and began to disperse.

Unless a new Void Refinement cultivator emerges, they really don't need to risk leaving the protected area of ​​the Star Domain Array.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the edge of the Weiyang Starfield.

Although this place also belongs to the Weiyang Starfield, it is not within the protection range of the Starfield Array.

In this starry sky, there are several abandoned planets.

These planets are all very close to each other.

This is the famous battlefield outside the region.

"Extraterritorial battlefield" is just a term; it encompasses a vast area.

Any area outside the protection range of the Star Domain Array can be called an extraterritorial battlefield.

These abandoned planets are where the battles between cultivators from outside the realm and those from the Weiyang Starfield took place.

Because of the long years of war, these planets have lost even their plants and animals, and are now completely barren.

On these planets, there are also many stellar vortexes and spatial rifts.

Some of these star vortexes and spatial rifts are formed naturally in the star field, while others are created here by cultivators from outside the field.

Near these spatial rifts and each star vortex, there are cultivators from the Weiyang Starfield stationed.

At this moment, we are in front of a vortex of stars.

Several Golden Core cultivators sat cross-legged beside the vortex.

A Golden Core cultivator said, "The thirty-year period is almost up. We can finally go back."

Another Golden Core cultivator said with a smile:

“Fellow Daoist Liu, I heard that your partner has already given birth to a child. When you go back this time, I'm afraid even your son won't recognize you.”

Upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed Liu immediately smiled:
"If he dares to disown me, I will not give him any cultivation resources in the future."

The cultivators guarding this place were all sent by various cultivation stars in the Weiyang Star Region.

These people are certainly not stationed here for free.

Every so often, the Star Palace issues missions to the major cultivation stars in the Weiyang Star Region to guard the extraterritorial battlefield.

These cultivation stars would then offer generous rewards to their cultivators to guard the outer battlefields.

Its purpose is to ensure that the Weiyang Star Region can receive the news immediately when extraterrestrial cultivators invade.

Just as the group was chatting...

The once calm vortex of stars suddenly trembled.

The protective arrays around them also lit up at the same time.

"Oh no, cultivators from beyond the realm have arrived!" The Liu-surname cultivator who had spoken earlier exclaimed, his expression changing drastically.

He immediately began to perform hand seals to reinforce the array around the starry vortex.

But soon, a powerful energy fluctuation emanated from within the star vortex!

The array that had been binding the surrounding area was broken in an instant.

Not only the formation, but also the cultivators surnamed Liu and others who were close to the formation were instantly turned into dust after being hit by this energy.

This energy has reached the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The tremors of the starry vortex grew stronger and stronger, and soon, several figures emerged from within.

Five people emerged, all with striking silver hair and unique glassy eyes.

These five individuals all possessed the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage; they were three men and two women.

The leader was a man wearing silver armor, while the others held greatswords.

After the silver-armored man stepped out of the starry vortex, he gently gestured forward with his right hand.

Several remnant souls immediately materialized in the arena.

These remnant souls were none other than the Liu surname cultivator and others from before.

Before the cultivators surnamed Liu could speak, the silver-armored man grabbed the remnant souls in his hand and began searching for them.

After a moment, the silver-armored man opened his eyes: "So many years have passed, it seems that the Weiyang Star Region hasn't changed much."

After the silver-armored man finished speaking, the remnant souls of the cultivator surnamed Liu and the others completely dissipated into the world.

At this moment, a woman dressed in feathered robes said:

"Brother Hong, the Weiyang Star Region will receive the news soon, so we need to hurry."

The silver-armored man nodded:

"Okay, notify the others to come over. There's only one Nascent Soul cultivator here; I'll deal with him."

Before long, the star vortex on this cultivation star began to tremble.

One by one, silver-haired cultivators emerged from the starry vortex in perfect unison.

These cultivators, whose lowest cultivation level was Foundation Establishment, had already numbered several thousand in just a short time, and their numbers were still increasing.

The silver-armored man then looked at the woman in feathered robes beside him and said:
"Kongling, take your men and survey the surrounding starry sky to see if the Weiyang Star Region has any backup plans."

The woman in the feathered robe named Kongling nodded:
"it is good."

The silver-armored man then looked at another man: "Huo Fan, take the array master to check out the protective array of the Weiyang Starfield."

The silver-armored man began to give instructions to everyone.

The silver-armored man was named Hong Lu, a spirit commander of the Void Spirit Clan.

The Voidlings are a special race; they attacked the Weiyang Starfield hundreds of years ago.

In that battle, the Voidlings paid a heavy price but ultimately failed.

After preparing for war for hundreds of years, the Void Spirit Clan regrouped and began a new round of conquest.

There was no other way; the star system where the Voidlings lived was on the verge of extinction.

Their only way to ensure the survival of their race is to attack other star systems.

The Weiyang Starfield was a starfield suitable for survival that their Void Spirit Clan's High Priest found through heaven-defying means.

Just as Hong Lu was making arrangements, a cultivator dressed in a white robe walked over from a distance.

Her eyes were covered by a white cloth.

Upon seeing this person, the people who were talking immediately stopped their conversation.

Even Honglu looked at the newcomer.

Because the person who came was a priest of their Void Spirit Clan.

Priests are a special profession among the Voidlings. Apart from the royal family, the priests hold the highest status in the entire Voidling race.

"Priest Jiang, is there something you need?" Hong Lu asked.

Although the priest Jiang in front of him was only a Golden Core cultivator, Hong Lu was still very polite to him.

Priest Jiang said with a solemn expression:

"The High Priest sent word that she deduced from the Celestial Evolution Chart that a celestial punishment had just occurred in the Weiyang Star Region, and that the person who triggered the punishment was not within the Star Region's protective array. She warned us to be careful."

Upon hearing about the divine punishment, Hong Lu and the others' expressions changed.

As Nascent Soul cultivators, they naturally knew what Heavenly Punishment represented; it was a calamity that would descend upon those who advanced to the Void Refinement stage.

"A Void Refinement Realm expert is nearby?"

Kongling spoke up with a solemn expression.

The Void Spirit Clan has just arrived through the Starry Sky Vortex, and their strongest member is only a Nascent Soul cultivator.

It's impossible for a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage to teleport such a long distance using the Starry Sky Vortex in a short time.

Hong Lu said in a deep voice:

"Let's go and see. If it really is a Void Refinement cultivator, we'll have to have the clan pay a price to bring this Void Refinement senior here."

Hong Lu then looked at Priest Jiang: "Did the High Priest provide specific directions?"

Priestess Jiang immediately tapped her right hand, and a star map appeared before her:

"It's roughly in this direction."

Hong Lu glanced at the location on the star map and frowned: "Isn't this within the range of the Star Domain Array?"

Priest Jiang shook her head: "The High Priest said that according to her deduction, this place is no longer the same."

"Alright, let's go take a look first." Hong Lu didn't dwell on the matter anymore.

He then said to Kongling, "Kongling, you, Priest Jiang, and I will go to investigate. The rest of you, go and deal with the Nascent Soul cultivators who are stationed here, and then await my orders."

The remaining three nodded upon hearing this, and then quickly left.

Beyond the Azure Star.

Lu Linyuan was standing here. His body was surrounded by a layer of demonic energy, making him look somewhat eerie.

At this moment, he was looking down at Canglan Star, a look of doubt in his eyes.

Just now, the crimson color that covered the entire Canglan Star disappeared.

Lu Linyuan knew very well what that blood-red color represented; it was the gaze of the Star Domain's will.

It's also a form of locking.

This strange phenomenon will only disappear after the true divine punishment has arrived.

But now that the divine punishment hasn't come, this strange phenomenon has disappeared.

Lu Linyuan thought for a moment, then took out a satellite phone from his person.

He planned to contact Xingfengmen to ask what had happened.

However, before Lu Linyuan could even take out his phone...

An elderly man with a cane appeared in the distance.

This old man was none other than the Woodcutter Demon who had traveled all the way to Canglan Star.

His appearance was so sudden that Lu Linyuan was completely unaware.

The old woodcutter fixed his gaze on Lu Linyuan, then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Huh, you're a demon? No, wait... this aura of yours..."

The old woodcutter examined it carefully again, and then couldn't help but laugh:
"So it turns out that the body was taken over by a demon. How interesting."

Lu Linyuan looked at the old woodcutter in the distance, his expression extremely solemn:
"Who is the senior?"

Lu Linyuan discovered that he could not sense the other party's cultivation level at all, and from this he judged that the other party should be a Void Refinement Elder.

The Old Demon Woodcutter did not answer Lu Linyuan's question, but instead asked:

"I ask you, who is breaking through to the Void Refinement stage on this cultivation star?"

Lu Linyuan shook his head without hesitation:

"Senior is joking. Our Canglan Star is just a small star. How could someone suddenly reach the Void Refinement stage?"

Old Woodcutter gave a cold laugh:
"Is that so? Then I'll go and find it myself."

After saying that, the Old Demon Woodcutter immediately released a terrifying divine sense that swept towards the Canglan Star below!

Old Demon Woodcutter is not the same as the previous Void Refinement cultivator from the Star Palace. Void Refinement cultivators from the Star Palace would restrain themselves when releasing their divine sense, so as not to harm too many people.

But Old Demon Woodcutter is a demon himself, and his style of doing things is even more lawless. He has even done things like slaughtering stars, so why would he care about the life or death of his people?

This divine sense has only just entered Canglan Star.

Wherever his divine sense passed, the earth shook and mountains trembled.

This divine sense directly formed a terrifying storm of divine sense.

Mortal cities were the first to suffer; any mortal city that was swept by this divine sense began to collapse instantly.

The mortals within the city whose bodies were swept by divine sense exploded instantly.

A cultivator at the Void Refinement stage is already capable of destroying a cultivation star.

Although they cannot directly shatter a cultivation star, they can annihilate all living beings on it.

This is why, within the star field, cultivators at the Void Refinement stage are subject to the control of the Star Palace.

If such a powerful figure were to act without restraint, it would be a disaster for any cultivation planet.

The speed of divine sense was extremely fast, and it swept across most of the Canglan Star in the blink of an eye.

Upon sensing the arrival of this terrifying divine consciousness, all the major forces on Canglan Star activated their respective protective formations.

Those within the sect who are Nascent Soul cultivators are fortunate, as they can use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to resist this domineering divine sense.

However, those without the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator are not so lucky.

Their protective array, which they had set up, was completely ineffective against the divine sense of the sect.

Each cultivator coughed up blood after being scanned by divine sense.

Many people looked up at the sky, their faces filled with despair.

Outside Canglan Star, Lu Linyuan naturally noticed the changes that had occurred on Canglan Star. He looked at Old Demon Woodcutter with a grim expression:

"Senior, you are slaughtering so many mortals on the cultivation star! Aren't you afraid of the Star Palace's wrath?"

Upon hearing this, the old woodcutter gave a mocking smile:
"Star Palace? You think you're so great? I don't have time for you right now. Stand still!"

As soon as the old woodcutter finished speaking, Lu Linyuan immediately felt himself being sealed by a force.

This kind of sealing off directly blocks the vital energy of heaven and earth and a space.

This rendered him completely unable to move an inch.

Old Demon Woodcutter ignored Lu Linyuan and continued his search within Canglan Star.

Although the Old Demon Woodcutter did not intentionally use his divine sense to target the mortals on Canglan Star, almost no mortal who was swept by his divine sense survived.

At this moment, the Old Demon Woodcutter seemed to sense something, and he turned his gaze toward the northern border.

He discovered an aura in the North that felt very familiar to him.

The Woodcutter Demon immediately sent his divine sense to the Northern Territory.

The moment this divine consciousness descended upon the Northern Territory, all living beings there felt it simultaneously.

Strangely, the mortals in the Northern Territory who were swept by this divine sense did not die immediately.

They simply collapsed to the ground, one by one.

Inside the Xingfeng Sect's inner chamber, Liu Qian, Zheng Jiao, and others were gathered.

They were still discussing the strange phenomena that had occurred on Canglan Star.

The moment the divine sense descended, Zhengjiao's expression changed drastically:
"This divine sense belongs to an old monster at the Void Refinement stage!"

At that moment, Zhengjiao felt an urge to curse.

He had only just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and hadn't even started showing off yet, when the Void Refinement Old Monster appeared.

Despite his anger, Zhengjiao did not run away as he had done before.

He knew that if he escaped, the entire Xingfeng Sect would probably be doomed.

Zhengjiao immediately roared angrily, and mobilized the surrounding spiritual energy, covering the entire Xingfeng Sect within it.

As for Liu Qian and the others beside him, they had already collapsed to the ground when their divine senses appeared.

"Senior, what's going on?" Liu Qian looked at Zheng Jiao with a pale face.

Zhengjiao said in a deep voice:

"It's the Void Refinement Old Monster!"

Liu Qian's face also turned pale: "Senior!"

Zhengjiao said:

"I know what you're going to say, just leave it to me!"

After saying this, Zhengjiao transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the sky.

He had only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, so it was impossible for him to protect everyone in the Xingfeng Sect.

The only way to prevent the Northern Territory from being affected by this divine sense is to interrupt the opponent's divine sense probe.

Moreover, if this divine consciousness continues, all the mortals in the Northern Territory will perish.

Beyond the Azure Star, the Old Demon Woodcutter still stands here.

Although he was outside the protective array, his divine sense had already passed through the protective array of Canglan Star.

This is because the spiritual sense of a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage can already traverse space.

The protective array of Canglan Star can only deal with Nascent Soul cultivators at most; it's useless against Void Refinement monsters.

Old Woodcutter frowned deeply because his divine sense was blocked by a force after it arrived in the Northern Territory.

"There's definitely something wrong here!" A glint flashed in the old woodcutter's eyes.

He began to concentrate his divine sense and probe in the direction of the aura he had sensed earlier.

He quickly discovered the source of that familiar aura.

That was a pavilion located in the backyard of Xingfeng Gate!

The moment he saw the pavilion, the Woodcutter's pupils constricted slightly:
"It really is!"

The attic itself was quite ordinary, but he sensed a special aura within it.

He wasn't mistaken; this was the aura of a celestial treasure!

Immortals have always been legends in the Weiyang Starfield.

Almost no one has ever seen an immortal, and even the things that belong to immortals are rarely seen.

But Old Demon Woodcutter was one of the few people who had ever seen a celestial treasure.

He had seen a celestial treasure left behind from an ancient immortal realm back then.

He will never forget that ethereal yet grand atmosphere.

"Hahahaha, this trip was worthwhile!" Old Demon Woodcutter laughed loudly.

He had originally come out of curiosity to find out the reason for the appearance of the divine punishment.

Unexpectedly, he discovered something related to immortals.

And this thing even appeared on a small star. (End of Chapter)
