Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Chapter 724 Harvest.

For over a decade, the Holy Maiden Caixia had never forgotten Chen Feng.

After returning from the Void Realm, she mobilized the people of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect to search for Chen Feng within the star field, and even offered a high reward.

However, the Weiyang Starfield is too vast, and the distance between each cultivation star is very far. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would need a long time to fly from one cultivation star to another.

Large stars are alright, since there are inter-star teleportation arrays available, but for small stars, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even the Star Palace doesn't have a complete record of how many planets there are in the Weiyang Starfield.

The star chart of the Star Palace only records planets with spiritual energy; some planets without spiritual energy and those that are barren are not recorded at all.

"More than a decade has passed, and I wonder how much this person's strength has grown. If we were to fight again, I would definitely not lose to him!"

The Holy Maiden of Rainbow Clouds murmured to herself.

Over the years, she often recalled the scene of fighting Chen Feng in the Void Realm.

She always felt that she lost because of her magic weapon.

At that time, Chen Feng's innate spiritual treasure put a lot of pressure on her, and there was also that three-phase bullet.

But now that she has reached the Nascent Soul stage, the innate spiritual treasures are no longer as intimidating as before.

At that moment, a discussion suddenly arose below, and the French ship stopped.

The Saintess of Rainbow Clouds was drawn to the distance and immediately looked into the distance.

That was precisely the edge of the Star Domain Array.

"What's going on? Wasn't it said that a large army of the Void Spirit Clan was attacking here? Where are they?" The elder of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect looked puzzled.

They received information that the Voidling army was breaking through the Starfield Array outside, and the Star Palace's mission for them was to stop the Voidlings.

They had arrived at the designated location, but hadn't seen a single person.

At this moment, a sound transmission talisman flew over from afar and arrived in front of the elder of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect. Jiang Zhan's voice came from inside:
“Fellow Daoist Yin, the Void Spirit Clan is not here. I suggest we go directly to the outer battlefield.”

The elder of the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect nodded: "Alright."

She naturally had no objections; they had dealt with the Void Spirit Clan in the past on the battlefield outside the realm.

The Voidlings are not here, so naturally they won't return.

Moreover, fighting on extraterrestrial battlefields is also beneficial to them, as there are three planets there.

If the battle takes place in the starry sky, only Nascent Soul cultivators can take action; everyone else must remain on the magic ship.

Soon, the fleet of Dharma ships began to pass through the star field array and head towards the outer battlefield.

Chen Feng was naturally unaware of the turmoil on the battlefield outside the region.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the bedroom of a mothership of the Xingfengmen.

After the matter was over, Chen Feng returned to the Southern Region with the Xingfeng Sect's fleet.

He is currently organizing his findings.

Nine storage rings and three treasures floated in front of him.

The three treasures are a black spear, a jade bottle, and a small flag.

These three treasures are all innate spiritual treasures.

However, both the spear and the jade bottle were damaged to some extent, as he had broken them by force.

Fortunately, the damage was not too serious. Since innate spiritual treasures are born from heaven and earth, they have a certain self-repairing ability and can be repaired given enough time.

After studying them for a while, Chen Feng understood the function of these three spiritual treasures.

All three are offensive magical artifacts.

The black spear can pierce through space, similar to his Immortal-Slaying Bow, but the power of the Immortal-Slaying Bow is not as great as that of the black spear.

As for the small red flag, it can control flames.

The last small bottle goes without saying; he had already experienced its power before. The poisonous mist it released could almost instantly kill anyone below the Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Feng put the three treasures away:

"These three treasures are not of much use to me, but they can be placed in the treasure vault inside the gate for others to use."

He has now reached the Nascent Soul stage, and his physical body is even stronger than that of an innate spiritual treasure.

External objects no longer have much effect on him, unless they are innate spiritual treasures with special effects.

Moreover, none of these three treasures can compare to the forbidden banner.

The forbidden banner can be used for both defense and offense, making it a well-rounded innate spiritual treasure.

Chen Feng then took out everything from the storage ring and began to examine it.

A series of streaks of light flashed by, almost filling the entire bedroom.

The first thing that caught Chen Feng's eye was the spirit stones. These were all top-grade spirit stones, totaling more than eight million.

Even Chen Feng was surprised by the amount of over eight million spirit stones.

An ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator would be lucky to have a few hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones on them.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Void Spirit Clan are exceptionally wealthy.

With these spirit stones, Xingfeng Sect can create even more weapons.

Besides spirit stones, there are all sorts of magical treasures, but they are all at the acquired level, totaling about twenty items.

Chen Feng only glanced at it briefly and didn't look at it in detail.

He doesn't even care about ordinary innate spiritual treasures, let alone acquired spiritual treasures.

Next came the pills. The nine people had a great many pills in their storage rings, totaling several hundred bottles, and the types were all kinds of strange and unusual.

Chen Feng could only recognize one or two of them.

However, based on his perception of spiritual energy, he could also tell that many of the pills were for enhancing one's Nascent Soul cultivation.

To Chen Feng's disappointment, he did not find any cultivation techniques or supernatural abilities in these storage rings.

He has now reached the Nascent Soul stage, but the Star Body Refining Technique can only be cultivated up to the early Nascent Soul stage; there are no more techniques beyond that.

This is the biggest problem he faces after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Without further cultivation techniques, he simply cannot break through to a higher realm.

However, switching cultivation methods depends on the type. If it conflicts with his original cultivation method, he cannot switch at all.

Chen Feng's idea was to first find the follow-up techniques of the Star Body Refining Technique, and if that didn't work, he would then switch to another cultivation method.

Chen Feng then prepared to put away everything in front of him.

But then he suddenly noticed some white stones among the pile of items, about a dozen of them.

These white stones are only the size of a thumb, and each one is pure white.

He hadn't paid any attention to the stones before, assuming they were just decorations.

But after scanning it with his divine sense, he discovered that the thing seemed to contain energy.

Chen Feng picked up a stone and began to examine it carefully.

As his divine sense continued to probe deeper, his expression quickly changed: "This energy is primordial energy!"

Chen Feng was no stranger to vital energy.

Once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, there are two ways to improve their cultivation: one is to continue absorbing spiritual energy, and the other is to absorb primordial energy.

However, the effects of spiritual energy are far less than those of vital energy.

Although there is primordial energy in the starry sky, absorbing primordial energy from the starry sky is countless times more difficult than absorbing primordial energy on a cultivation planet.

The primordial energy in the starry sky, like spiritual energy, is the most primitive energy substance, filled with a violent aura.

It takes a lot of time for cultivators to absorb this kind of primordial energy, and the time spent is not as long as absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation.

But cultivation stars are different. Each cultivation star has evolved over countless years, and in this process, it develops primordial energy suitable for cultivators to absorb. This is why the top powers in the star field all want to obtain more cultivation stars.

The vital energy of each cultivation star is limited, and these are all valuable resources.

On planets like Canglan, Nascent Soul cultivators cannot absorb vital energy indiscriminately; every bit used reduces the amount available and can even affect the entire environment of Canglan.

For example, the Cultivation Alliance has explicitly prohibited Nascent Soul cultivators from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without authorization, and has set a fixed quota for each year.

Once it is discovered that someone has absorbed the power without authorization, they will be targeted by the Cultivation Alliance.

"This thing actually possesses vital energy!" Chen Feng's eyes flickered as he looked at the white stone in his hand.

Absorbing vital energy was also very helpful to him.

Although there are no further cultivation techniques, his strength will increase if he can continue to absorb vital energy.

Furthermore, if one possesses vital energy within their body, it can be added to their supernatural abilities, thereby enhancing their strength.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng released his ethereal primordial spirit and the remnant soul of Priest Jiang.

Both women were bound by him and had no way to escape.

After the two women appeared, they immediately turned their attention to Chen Feng.

Kongling was not afraid; she had already recognized her situation and accepted it all with equanimity.

But Priest Jiang was different; he was far from possessing an ethereal and spiritual nature.

Priest Jiang looked at Chen Feng:

"Chen Beijin, although you have won this time, our Void Spirit Clan is not just about us!"

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow and began to speak with interest:
"and then?"

Priest Jiang said in a deep voice, "As long as you release us, I can persuade my clan to stop attacking your Canglan Star. From now on, you and our Void Spirit Clan will live in peace and not interfere with each other!"

Hearing this, Kong Ling smiled helplessly to herself.

Although Priest Jiang has a special status, he is only a Golden Core cultivator and does not understand the mindset of cultivators at higher realms.

Those who reach the Nascent Soul stage have all gone through countless trials and tribulations; such threats have absolutely no effect on them.

On the contrary, it will annoy the other party.

Chen Feng completely ignored Priest Jiang's words, instead raising the white stone in his hand and asking:

"what is this?"

Kongling glanced at it and replied, "This is a Yuan Stone."

"Is it unique to your Void Spirit Clan?" Chen Feng asked again.

Kong Ling shook his head: "Primordial stones exist in every star field, but the quantity is very small. There are many reasons for the formation of primordial stones. For example, some cultivation stars with abundant primordial energy will naturally form some primordial stones after countless years of evolution. These primordial stones are of the best quality."

"Another type is the spirit stones created by collecting the energy that dissipates after killing a Nascent Soul cultivator. These are of a lower grade."

After listening to Kong Ling's explanation, Chen Feng nodded.

The result was similar to what he expected; it was something of a higher level than spirit stones.

Chen Feng then asked:
"Tell me about your Voidling race."

Chen Feng didn't really know much about the Void Spirit Clan. He had only heard some things from Lu Linyuan, but Lu Linyuan's information was also very limited.

Kong Ling thought for a moment, then said:

"Our Void Spirit Clan comes from the Void Spirit Starfield, which is extremely far from the Unending Starfield. If we calculate based on the speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would take at least ten thousand years to reach them."

According to Kongling, the total population of the Void Spirit Clan is as high as 70 billion.

The star field they occupied was called the Void Spirit Star Field.

Seven hundred billion seems like a lot, but compared to a star system, it's not that much, considering that even Earth has billions of people.

However, the Void Spirit Clan is unique in one aspect: almost all members of this race are cultivators.

As soon as one is born, one possesses the aptitude for cultivation.

With hundreds of billions of cultivators, that number is truly terrifying.

The surge in the number of cultivators has led to a continuous depletion of the spiritual energy in the Void Spirit Starfield, causing its resources to wither and bringing it to the brink of extinction.

That is why the Voidlings are so eager to find a new home.

The Weiyang Starfield was just one of the starfields that the Void Spirit Clan attacked.

As for figures like Kongling and other Spirit Commanders, they are merely high-ranking members of the Void Spirit Clan; the Void Refinement Realm experts are the main fighting force of the Void Spirit Clan.

Kongling didn't say much, just gave a brief description, which was all basic information about the Void Spirit Clan.

She wouldn't tell Chen Feng the specifics of the clan's situation.

As a member of the Void Spirit Clan, she would never betray them, even in death.

At this moment, Priest Jiang, who was standing nearby, suddenly said:
"Chen Beijin, the fact that you can cultivate to this level on such a resource-scarce planet is enough to prove that you are a genius. With your talent, if you join my Void Spirit Clan, you will definitely have a better future."

Priest Jiang extended an olive branch directly.

Chen Feng asked with a hint of amusement, "I killed so many of you, do you think the Void Spirit Clan will let me go?"

Priest Jiang answered without hesitation:
"Although Hei Ming and the others are strong, they are nothing in my clan. If you are willing to join our Void Spirit Clan and accept bloodline modification, we can forgive and forget everything that happened before!"

"And you shouldn't focus on a small star; the world is much bigger than you think."

Chen Feng looked at Priest Jiang without saying a word.

Seeing that Chen Feng didn't speak, Priest Jiang continued:
"You've probably never left your cultivation planet in your entire life, have you? You know about star fields, but do you know how big they are? Do you know what lies beyond them?"

"Our Voidling race has explored many star fields and discovered many unknown things. These secrets are things you will never know in your lifetime!"

Seeing Priest Jiang's serious expression, Chen Feng spoke calmly:
"You're just trying to say that the universe is vast, and there are countless star fields, and that my cultivation star, or even the Weiyang Star Field, is nothing more than a speck of dust, right?"

"You actually know these things too?" Priest Jiang's face showed surprise.

After countless years of exploration, the Void Spirit Clan learned that the Void Spirit Starfield was just one of countless starfields in the universe.

There are many star systems like this, and after discovering this, the Voidlings realized their own insignificance.

However, this information was something that the Void Spirit Clan had only learned after countless years of exploration.

After all, the star field is vast, not to mention exploring beyond it.

But Priest Jiang never expected that a cultivator from such a small planet as Chen Feng would also know this secret.

I'm afraid even some disciples from major stars in the Weiyang Star Region don't have this kind of insight.

Seeing the priest's surprised expression, Chen Feng found it quite amusing.

The other party is an ancient person who comes to show off his knowledge of the universe to him, a modern person. Isn't that a joke?

Humans on Earth began observing the universe using electromagnetic waves a century ago, with an observation diameter of up to 93 billion light-years, and discovered 200 billion galaxies alone.

This is only the observable universe.

Because the universe is constantly expanding, and the speed of expansion has exceeded the speed of light, human electromagnetic waves can no longer keep up with the expansion speed of the universe.

That's why we have the concept of an observable universe.

Although humans on Earth do not have the ability to leave galaxies, they have long had the ability to observe the universe.

They are simply incomparable to the people in the world of paintings.

Even the Voidlings only discovered that there are many star fields in the universe, which is why they feel that the universe is very large and they themselves are very small.

But the Voidlings could never possibly know the exact size of the universe.

The ethereal figure beside him suddenly said:
What do you plan to do with us?

Kongling didn't have the same idea as Priest Jiang in recruiting Chen Feng, because she knew it was futile.

Now all she wanted to know was what Chen Feng planned to do with them.
