Double penetration, starting from being a trader

After listening to Tuosen's explanation, Chen Feng was quite surprised.

With a range of 5,000 kilometers and a firing speed that can reach 20% of the speed of light, even he was tempted by such power.

Previously, his ranged attack method had always been the Immortal-Slaying Bow.

However, once he reached the Nascent Soul stage, the power of the Immortal-Slaying Bow became far from sufficient.

Although he can mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to fight, this consumes a great deal of energy.

Now that he has this Eye of Annihilation, it can perfectly compensate for his ranged attacks.

He had witnessed the power of antimatter annihilation firsthand; it could even annihilate space, posing a tremendous threat to Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Not bad, I'm very satisfied with this weapon." Chen Feng smiled.

Seeing that Chen Feng was satisfied, Tuo Sen burst into laughter:

"I knew you'd like it, Professor Chen. The kinetic energy of this gun comes from the Guixu Stone. It can be used with Guixu Stones weighing one to five grams. As for Guixu Stones weighing more, I haven't figured it out yet!"

The Ruins Stone is a weapon that Tuosen previously developed to store antimatter.

Released, it can cause the annihilation of matter within a certain area.

Chen Feng had previously placed a few of them at Xingfeng Gate as a trump card.

It can be considered an advanced version of the antimatter storage ring.

"Okay, I'll take this gun for now. Are there any other new weapons?"

Chen Feng couldn't help but look forward to Tuosen's other weapon products.

Tuosen chuckled:
"Yes, this weapon is quite large. It's on the ground. Follow me!"

Tuo Sen then left the room and headed down into the underground research institute.

Chen Feng and Lin Wei also followed.

Upon arriving at the underground research institute, one finds a greater number of researchers.

Upon seeing Chen Feng, they all greeted him warmly.

"Professor Chen."

"Professor Lin!"

Chen Feng nodded to these people in response.

After walking for a while, the three arrived at a large weapons workshop, where Chen Feng saw an enormous main cannon.

The barrel alone is nearly 15 meters long, and the main body of the gun is streamlined and spindle-shaped.

In the middle of the cannon, there is a slightly raised area that forms a semi-ellipsoidal "fusion core compartment".

Three turns of indigo superconducting magnetic rail coils are wound around the rear side of the gun barrel.

Tuosen proudly stated:
"This is my latest strategic weapon, the high-energy particle cannon! Its principle is to generate a high-energy particle beam through an internal fusion device to carry out attacks. It is the main cannon that I designed specifically for aerospace carriers!"

As he spoke, Tuosen took out a tablet computer and started playing a video.

In the video footage, a space carrier is seen hovering outside the moon.

Compared to other space carriers, this space carrier has an additional 12-meter-long high-energy particle cannon on its top.

Just then, the particle high-energy cannon installed on top of the mothership began to charge.

Intense light condensed at the muzzle, charging for nearly ten seconds.

A massive beam of energy, thirty meters in diameter, shot out from the cannon and struck the lunar surface instantly.

The beam of light did not dissipate immediately, but continued to output energy.

Rumble!
The area hit collapsed rapidly outwards in a ring shape.

In less than a few seconds, the range expanded to hundreds of kilometers.

Countless dust and rocks were lifted into the air by gravity, forming a huge ring-shaped landform.

The energy beam was like a divine spear, piercing through the entire planet!
The beam of light lasted for about ten seconds before dissipating, leaving behind an enormous crater in the center.

The rocks inside the deep pit were all melted into magma by the intense heat.

Tuosen's voice came through: "Professor Chen, how is it? Are you satisfied with this weapon?"

Tuo Sen looked like he was waiting to be praised.

The high-energy particle cannon is a project he has been developing.

It's just that my research on antimatter has been delayed for the past year.

He only recently completed the development of this weapon.

Although it also uses fusion batteries as its power source, it is different from the lasers used in space-based weapons; it is a weapon with a wide range of destructive power.

Chen Feng nodded: "I am very satisfied with this weapon."

He had already seen the power of this weapon in the video footage, which was already a great threat to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, this high-energy particle cannon has a great advantage: speed.

Kinetic weapons can be much faster than intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Chen Feng had discovered long ago that nuclear weapons were no longer as threatening as they used to be to those powerful cultivators.

This is not because of insufficient power, but because the missile has difficulty hitting the target.

Powerful cultivators can detect missile trajectories thousands of miles away and take evasive action in advance.

However, kinetic weapons are different. These weapons have an extremely fast attack speed, making them difficult for even top-tier experts to dodge.

"If all of Xingfengmen's motherships are equipped with these high-energy particle cannons, their combat power will increase several times over."

Chen Feng thought to himself.

Lin Wei, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up:
"Although this weapon is powerful, it consumes more than ten times the energy of a space-based weapon. Each strike requires thousands of top-grade fusion batteries to recharge. If it were replaced with top-grade spirit stones, each strike would cost nearly 100,000 top-grade spirit stones!"

Tuo Sen said, "This is a strategic weapon, so it can't be used casually. It's normal for the cost to be a bit high. We can use other kinetic energy weapons in normal times."

As Tuosen spoke, he took out the tablet computer again and opened an interface.

This is a 3D model of an aerospace carrier.

"This is a plan I designed, Professor Chen, please take a look." Tuosen held the tablet computer up to Chen Feng's face.

Chen Feng looked at the 3D model of the mothership on the screen.

Many new parts have been added to it.

Tuo Sen explained, "I think all the gunpowder-powered cannons on the mothership can be phased out and replaced with kinetic energy weapons. As for the high-energy particle cannons, they can be used as the mothership's trump card."

"In addition, there is Harvey's latest aerospace fighter jet, which can also be equipped with kinetic energy weapons."

Chen Feng nodded: "Okay, we'll do it your way. You organize the design plan and the production process for all kinetic weapons, and then hand them over to me."

Tuosen's idea was essentially to completely overhaul the space carrier, so Chen Feng naturally had no objections.

Upgrading the space carrier can also enhance the combat capabilities of the Wind Gate.

Although this will cost a lot of spirit stones, spirit stones are meant to be spent anyway.

As long as it can improve his combat power, it's worth it for Chen Feng.

Seeing that Chen Feng agreed so quickly, Tuo Sen felt like he had met a kindred spirit: "Professor Chen, you really understand me!"

Chen Feng asked, "Is there anything else you need? Please tell me."

Tuosen's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "I've used up all the space materials you gave me before. Could you bring some more?"

Chen Feng asked, "Have you used them all?"

Tuo Sen said, "I used it all up a long time ago. Most of it was used to make the Ruins Stone, and I used all of the Void Sand to make the Eye of Annihilation. There's nothing left."

Chen Feng nodded: "Okay, I'll bring another batch over in a while."

Space materials are scarce on Canglan Star, especially materials suitable for containing antimatter, which are only found on large stars. Last time he went to Xuanxiao Star, he only managed to buy a small amount.

Obtaining a large quantity of this space material is no easy task.

Chen Feng then chatted with Tuo Sen for a while before leaving with Lin Wei.

After leaving the research institute, Lin Wei asked, "What are you planning to do next? Do you want to go back to Earth to see Xiao Rou?"

Chen Feng shook his head:

"No, I have other things to do. Why don't you take some time to help Harvey and the others refine the planetary relocation plan and come up with a solution as soon as possible?"

Chen Feng really wasn't in the mood to do anything else; he had too many things to do right now.

First, there's the crisis on Canglan Star. He needs to return to the Scroll World to handle the matter of moving Canglan Star.

Moreover, the next attack from the Void race could come at any time.

If he is away from the world of the painting for a long time, he may not even know if the Voidlings attack.

Lin Wei realized that Chen Feng was genuinely busy, so she didn't try to stop him.
"Alright, go ahead and get busy. We'll come up with a solution as soon as possible."

Chen Feng didn't say anything more, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

A world depicted in a painting.

Several days have passed since the Voidlings attacked Canglan Star.

But news of this battle continued to circulate throughout Canglan Star.

Even ordinary people have heard some news about this battle.

And the name Chen Beijing is known to everyone.

Whether in the inner or outer seas, all cultivators now know that Chen Beijing saved them.

Without Chen Beijing's intervention, they would probably have been enslaved by the Void Spirit Clan.

Many people felt grateful to Chen Feng.

As Chen Feng's reputation soared, many cultivators chose to join the Xingfeng Sect.

The impact of this event was unprecedented, with even some Nascent Soul cultivators who never joined other factions choosing to join the Xingfeng Sect.

Xingfengmen, Moonlit Island Branch.

He Menghan and Yan Ying sat in the main hall of the branch. He Menghan's cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

He Menghan hasn't changed much compared to ten years ago.

Over the course of ten years, the Moon Island branch has grown considerably under her management, and the market's revenue has been increasing every year.

He Menghan cherishes her current position, so she has been working diligently all these years.

Yan Ying smiled and said:

"The sect leader's battle has made him famous throughout Canglan Star. In the past few days, three Nascent Soul cultivators have contacted me, hoping to join our branch."

He Menghan asked, "Didn't they join Elder Ge's side?"

Yan Ying shook her head: "No, there are a lot of people on Elder Ge's side. I heard that there are more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators who want to join."

Although Xingfengmen has many branches, there are only three major branches.

These are Beaver's Black Sea branch, He Menghan's Moonlit Island branch, and Ge Yunxuan's branch in the Southern Region.

These branches each have their own staff recruitment capabilities and a certain degree of autonomy.

During this period, cultivators who choose to join the Xingfeng Sect will choose one of these three branches.

Few people chose to join the Black Sea branch, since it was full of demonic beasts and not very suitable for human cultivators.

Secondly, there's the Moonlit Island branch, where many powerful individuals from the outer seas have chosen to join.

Next is Ge Yunxuan's branch in the Southern Region, which is currently the strongest among the several branches.

As for the headquarters of Xingfengmen, it no longer recruits people independently; the headquarters only transfers people from its branches.

He Menghan said:
"We need to investigate the backgrounds of these Nascent Soul cultivators thoroughly. If they are found to be acting improperly, we should reject them."

Yan Ying nodded: "Understood!"

Although the Fengshui Gate is expanding, it doesn't accept just anyone.

Even if one is not expected to be righteous, one should at least refrain from committing the heinous act of slaughtering ordinary people.

After finishing their business, Yan Ying immediately said, "The sect leader's victory has solidified his position as the number one person on Canglan Star. Now, even people from the Cultivation Alliance have to treat us with great respect."

Yan Ying was very glad that she had brought everyone from her sect to join Xingfeng Sect a long time ago.

When she made this decision, she was looked down upon by many forces overseas.

Now, those people treat her with the utmost respect.

Yan Ying often lamented that while talent is important for cultivators, choices are equally crucial.

Don't underestimate her just because she's only a minor manager at the Moonlit Island branch; even Golden Core cultivators treat her with utmost respect.

He Menghan said:
"Do you think this kind of title is good? The more prestigious the title, the greater the responsibility. Don't be fooled by how grateful the major powers on Canglan Star are to the sect leader now. If the sect leader is defeated when the Void Spirit Clan attacks next time, these people will definitely show a completely different face."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ying's smile faded.

She hadn't really thought that much about it; she was only thinking that Chen Feng's reputation would soar, and her own status would rise accordingly.

Just then, He Menghan's phone suddenly rang.

He Menghan immediately answered the phone:
"Manager!"

Liu Qian's voice came through the phone:
"The sect leader plans to invite all Nascent Soul and above experts from Canglan Star to the Northern Territory for a meeting. The meeting is scheduled for half a month from now. The teleportation array from Moon Dragon Island to the Northern Territory will be open to the public during this period. You need to be prepared."

Upon hearing this, He Menghan was immediately startled: "Why did the sect leader suddenly invite so many people to a meeting?"

He Menghan was extremely shocked, because Chen Feng had not summoned the Xingfeng Sect members this time, but invited all the Nascent Soul and above experts on the entire Canglan Star.

"I don't know the specifics either, you'll have to come along too." Liu Qian said and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, He Menghan fell into deep thought.

Yan Ying asked from the side:
"Deacon, what's wrong?"

He Menghan said, "The sect leader wants to invite all cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage from Canglan Star to the Northern Territory for a meeting."

Yan Ying was also taken aback upon hearing this: "This..."

Inviting all the Nascent Soul cultivators of the entire cultivation star to a meeting was something that had never happened before.

Even the Cultivation Alliance has never tried such a thing.

Those who reach the Nascent Soul stage are all proud and arrogant, and some even disregard the edicts of the Cultivation Alliance.

This is enough to illustrate the difficulty of this matter.

"Sect Master, why?"

Before Yan Ying could finish her question, He Menghan interrupted her: "We'll talk about this later. Go to the teleportation array and have someone reinforce it. Also, recall all the people who went out."

Several years ago, Moonlong Island established a teleportation array that leads directly to the Northern Territory. Not only Moonlong Island, but the Black Sea branch also has one.

Since Chen Feng invited so many Nascent Soul cultivators, they must all be going through the teleportation array on Moon Dragon Island.

He Menghan naturally needed to make preparations in advance.

At the very least, we can't let these Nascent Soul stage monsters cause trouble on Moon Dragon Island.

The Northern Territory, the headquarters of Xingfengmen, the Cabinet.

Chen Feng sat in the main seat with his eyes closed, resting. Standing below him was Liu Qian.

At this moment, Liu Qian is constantly contacting people.

After a while, Liu Qian put the phone away and looked at Chen Feng, saying:

"Sect Master, I have already notified all the branch leaders about your invitation to Nascent Soul cultivators. I have contacted the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and they will help spread the word."

Upon hearing "Tianji Tower," Chen Feng asked, "How many spirit stones did Tianji Tower charge us?"

Liu Qian said with a smile:

"I didn't take any money. That landlord said he had long admired the sect leader, and this little favor was nothing to him."

Chen Feng nodded without saying anything.

Liu Qian hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sect Master, what are you planning to do by summoning so many Nascent Soul cultivators here?" (End of Chapter)
