Double penetration, starting from being a trader

At this moment, the commander who was reporting the situation spoke up again in a low voice:
"Commander Hong, a message has come from the Temple of the High Priests, ordering you to rescue Priest Jiang at all costs. This is the High Priest's command."

Hong Lu's face darkened:
"Save people? How am I supposed to save them? If the Priests really want to save people, they should have them stabilize the spatial passage as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, the commanders present all wore somber expressions.

They would have gone to save people long ago, but Chen Beijing alone killed eight Nascent Soul cultivators.

With that kind of strength, even if they went, they would never return.

Even Hong Lu doesn't have that kind of strength.

Sending a large army to encircle and annihilate them? That's even less likely. Low-level cultivators pose no threat whatsoever to such powerful individuals.

Just then, a childish voice rang out:

"Perhaps we could try to make a deal with him."

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw that the speaker was a little boy who was only 1.2 meters tall.

He had long silver hair, but a childlike face.

But no one in the room dared to underestimate the boy.

Because the other party was one of the five spiritual commanders sent by the Void Spirit Clan, whose strength was second only to Hong Lu, and whose name was Lan Yin.

Because of the special cultivation method, his body has been unable to grow.

"Lan Yin, what do you mean?" Hong Lu asked, looking at Lan Yin.

Lan Yin chuckled:
"Canglan Star is no longer within the range of the star field array of the Weiyang Star Field. It has obviously been abandoned by the Weiyang Star Field. We have no direct conflict of interest with them."

"The last conflict between us and Canglan Star was only because we wanted to occupy Canglan Star, and the conflict was not very big."

"Therefore, I think it's entirely possible to send someone to make a deal and exchange Kong Ling and Priest Jiang for us."

Upon hearing this, everyone present reacted with varying expressions.

A trade—this was something they had never considered, but Lan Yin's suggestion was indeed feasible.

Priest Jiang is what they need most right now.

The priests of the temple are extremely important to the Voidling army; basically every Voidling army is equipped with a priest.

The priests of the Void race have mastered many secret techniques that can enhance the combat power of the Void race.

Furthermore, the priests have a deep understanding of spatial magic, and the stability of spatial passages also requires the priests' expertise.

As long as the priests are present, they may be able to fight against the large army sent by the Weiyang Star Region.

Hong Lu remained silent, not answering immediately.

As the commander of the Void Spirit Clan, he felt ashamed to be sent to trade with a minor star to retrieve his captured clansmen.

Lan Yin reminded him:

“Hong Lu, we can’t delay any longer. The Weiyang Star Region has only sent two cultivators from major stars. Once they realize that we know the weak point in the Star Region’s array, the Void Refinement cultivators from the Weiyang Star Region will arrive soon. At that time, we will have no chance at all.”

“Alright, then let’s send someone to Canglan Star to talk to Chen Beijing. Who among you is willing to go?” Hong Lu looked around at everyone present.

The commanders all stood up, indicating their willingness to go.

The Voidlings are not cowards; they are a united race.

They didn't attack Canglan Star simply because they knew they couldn't defeat Chen Beijing.

“I’ll go. If something really happens, I’ll still have a chance to escape,” Lan Yin stepped forward.

Hong Lu nodded:

"Alright, then you go and make the trip, but be careful!"

Lan Yin was indeed better than the others, after all, the other party was a powerhouse at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Right after the matter was settled, Hong Lu suddenly frowned.

Through telepathic communication with the Voidlings, he received a message from the extraterrestrials.

He immediately stood up, looked at everyone, and said:
"We have just received news that seven Nascent Soul cultivators from the Weiyang Star Region army have suddenly left the cultivation star."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room showed surprise.

One of the commanders immediately said:
"Commander Hong, this is an opportunity for us. The enemy has lost seven Nascent Soul cultivators, so their combat strength is definitely inferior to ours. If we launch an attack at this time, we will surely gain something."

The others also expressed their agreement.

Lan Yin asked in confusion, "Why did these people suddenly leave?"

Hong Lu waved his hand: "No matter what they do, this is indeed our opportunity. Pass on my order to assemble the army immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding commanders bowed respectfully and then withdrew.

Hong Lu looked at Lan Yin and said:

"I'm leaving the journey to Canglan Star to you."

Lan Yin nodded: "Okay, I know what to do."

Lan Yin revealed a childlike, innocent smile.

A month passed quietly.

A month in the world of the painting is less than three days in the modern world.

After returning to the modern world, Chen Feng found Harvey and the others and obtained the blueprints for the steering engine and the planetary engine.

This large propulsion device is not complicated to design.

The finished product can be obtained simply by modifying the mothership's engine.

The only difficult thing is creating artificial stars, which requires a lot of technology.

Harvey and others are still conducting research.

After obtaining the blueprints, Chen Feng returned to the Northern Border and handed them over to Yue Yao, asking him to arrange for production.

In addition, Chen Feng also brought the particle high-energy cannon back to the world of the painting.

After several days of installation, the weapon was successfully installed on one of the motherships of Xingfengmen.

After the weapons were installed, Ge Yunxuan led a fleet to the extraterritorial battlefield.

Meanwhile, various places on Canglan Star have also taken action due to the implementation of the Wandering Canglan Star Plan.

Many monks gathered at the planned site where the planetary engine would be installed.

These monks were dispatched by surrounding forces and were preparing to build planetary engines at the site.

Because the planetary engine is incredibly large, it is several thousand meters high.

It covers an extremely large area, comparable to a giant mountain.

However, to install such an engine, half of the engines need to be installed underground.

This requires cultivators from various factions to clear out suitable areas.

Some planetary engines are installed in dangerous secret realms, while others are located within the strongholds of certain factions.

However, any force on Canglan Star must provide the necessary equipment for any location specified in the plan, even if it is their base.

Cultivators are much more efficient at work than martial artists.

With the cooperation of all the major forces on Canglan Star, deep pits were dug at all the locations where the engines were installed in just one month.

Today, the components for the first planetary engine have been completed.

In the North, at an open space.

At this moment, a large number of cultivators are using gravity spells to move engine components into the deep pits dug in the open space.

Meanwhile, the technicians at the ventilation system were directing the monks to assemble the engine.

Many monks stood around, all of whom had witnessed the first engine being started.

Although they already knew the details of the Wandering Azure Star Project,
But only by witnessing firsthand the effect of this ability to propel planetary treasures could they feel at ease.

"Wow, it's huge! Just one component is bigger than a building. Is this really a magical artifact?"

"What do you know? I heard from the Xingfeng Sect that this device is just the base of this magic weapon. It's still a long way from being fully assembled. The assembly alone will take at least a few days."

"This is incredible! Who came up with this kind of treasure? And what level of treasure is it?"

"I don't know, but if it can move a planet, it must be at least an acquired spiritual treasure."

"By the way, I heard that Sect Master Chen and several Nascent Soul stage experts will also come to watch when it's activated. It'll be quite a spectacle then." The cultivators who have come here so far are mostly low-level cultivators; not many high-level cultivators have come.

Several days later, at Xingfeng Gate, in the Cabinet.

Chen Feng appeared here; he had just returned from the modern world.

After bringing the blueprints and items back to the world of the scroll, Chen Feng stopped paying attention to things here.

Instead, they returned to the modern world to relax for a day.

He first cultivated for ten years, and then encountered the invasion of the Void Spirit Clan. This series of events left him with no time to rest.

Now that the Wandering Canglan Star Plan has been implemented, there's nothing left for him to do, so he naturally went to relax a bit.

Chen Feng's relaxation was simple: he traveled around the world with Lin Wei and Li Xiaorou, and took the opportunity to see how different countries were developing.

He also returned to China to see some old friends.

He came back today because the first planetary engine is almost complete, and he plans to go and take a look.

As Chen Feng stepped out of the cabinet, he ran into Liu Qian.

Upon seeing Chen Feng, Liu Qian quickly greeted him: "Sect Leader!"

Chen Feng nodded: "How's the engine assembly going?"

Liu Qian said, "Yue Yao and her team have already gone there and are currently installing it. It should be installed successfully today."

"Okay, you'll come with me to take a look later." Chen Feng smiled.

"Yes, Sect Master." Liu Qian was also looking forward to the performance of the planetary engine.

Chen Feng then asked, "By the way, how's the production of kinetic weapons going?"

The Windgate has been producing planetary engine components for the past month, and kinetic weapons are also being manufactured.

Liu Qian replied:

"A batch of particle cannons and laser cannons have already been produced, and the factory is now being expanded. Mass production will be possible soon."

"Sect Master, there's one more thing. The monitoring satellites you asked me to launch last time have also been launched. There are a total of 500 of them, and they are currently operating in orbit."

Chen Feng nodded: "Yes, these satellites need to work around the clock. If any unidentified object is detected approaching Canglan Star, just strike it directly. There's no need to ask me for instructions."

The monitoring satellite was purchased from China by Jack through Chen Feng during this period.

This type of satellite is not used to monitor the interior of the satellite, but rather to monitor space.

On Earth, countries around the world have launched some of these satellites, which are collectively referred to as space-based monitoring satellites.

It is mainly used to monitor flying objects such as asteroids.

Of course, Chen Feng wasn't using these satellites to monitor asteroids, but rather to monitor enemies coming to Canglan Star.

As soon as the satellite detects someone approaching Canglan Star, it will lock onto the enemy and then transmit the information to the ground command center.

After that, Xingfengmen can conduct remote interception and attack before the enemy gets close to Canglan Star.

There are many ways to intercept.

For example, the most common example is the interception of intercontinental ballistic missiles, and Xingfengmen still has a large number of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

These missiles were all purchased from the other side of Earth.

Most of them are Dongfeng series missiles from China, and we bought a thousand of the Dongfeng-41 alone.

This is also because China has developed new missiles, so the stockpiled Dongfeng-41 missiles are no longer as important.

There are now over a thousand nuclear missile silos and launchers in Xingfengmen.

This does not include the missile launchers on the space carrier.

If missiles are launched into outer space simultaneously, a region can be sealed off directly.

Another interception method is space-based laser weapons deployed in orbit. Xingfengmen currently possesses nearly 300 space-based weapons.

If the enemy manages to break through the intercontinental ballistic missile defense system, they will then face interception by space-based weapons.

This is also the planetary defense system that Chen Feng established for Canglan Star.

Of course, intercepting the enemy consumes resources that Xingfeng Sect alone cannot afford.

He had already told Lu Linyuan about this. Every time nuclear bombs and space-based weapons were used to strike enemies invading Canglan Star, the cost would be shared among the major forces on Canglan Star according to the resources consumed.

Not only this money, but also the money for wandering Canglan Star was contributed by all forces together.

For example, the construction of planetary engines and the fusion batteries that start the engines are provided by various major powers with spirit stones to Xingfeng Sect.

Then the Xingfeng Gate began manufacturing; Chen Feng wasn't going to be a good guy and protect Canglan Star for free.

"Let's go take a look at the planetary engine."

After saying this, Chen Feng and Liu Qian transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

In the vast expanse of space, far beyond the reach of Canglan Star.

A Dharma ship is rapidly sailing through the starry sky. This Dharma ship is colorful and is over a thousand meters long.

This magic ship belongs to the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect.

The people on the Dharma ship were naturally Elder Ding and others who had come from the battlefield outside the domain.

The extraterrestrial battlefield is still far from Canglan Star. To get here from the extraterrestrial battlefield, one must not only pass through a spatial rift, but also travel through space for a long time.

"Senior sister, according to the star map, we will arrive at Canglan Star in a few more hours of sailing."

Elder Wan was examining the star map beside him.

Elder Ding nodded: "Be careful when we get closer to Canglan Star. If we detect any demonic energy, we must retreat immediately!"

The Nascent Soul cultivators all nodded.

Their trip to Canglan Star was merely for reconnaissance. If they discovered that this cultivation star had been corrupted by demonic energy, they could return.

If the people of the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect died on a cultivation star corrupted by demonic energy, then they could only blame their bad luck.

What Elder Ding and the others did not notice was behind their Dharma boat.

An invisible beam of light was closely following the Dharma boat.

Within that invisible beam of light was none other than Lan Yin, who was also preparing to head to Canglan Star.

Lan Yin looked at Elder Ding and the others in the distance, frowning in thought.

He encountered the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect's magic ship on the road. He never expected that these people were on the same route as him, also heading to Canglan Star.

After discovering this, Lan Yin quietly followed the Dharma ship.

As a Spirit Commander of the Void Spirit Clan, Lan Yin naturally possessed strength far surpassing that of other Nascent Soul cultivators, a fact that went unnoticed by the people of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect.

"I wonder what these people from the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect are doing here on Canglan Star. I hope they're not here to find Chen Beijing."

Lan Yin's only worry was that these people were going to Canglan Star to ask Chen Beijing to deal with their Void Spirit Clan.

If that's the case, things will get complicated.

Airflow control door, satellite monitoring center.

On the screens of the satellite monitoring center, in addition to monitoring images inside the planet, there are also monitoring images of space outside the planet.

Space monitoring images do not include visual images.

Only a dense array of spots shows that some spots are moving, while others remain stationary.

The magic ship of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect is just one inconspicuous spot among them.

Because the detection satellite uses infrared detection technology, although it can detect units at very long distances, it cannot obtain clear images and can only obtain blurry hot spot images.

However, satellite monitoring systems will determine whether these spots in the sky pose a danger to Canglan Star based on their movement.

This is similar to how humans on Earth monitor asteroids.

Humans monitor asteroid impacts on Earth based on the trajectory of the impact spots.

Just then, an alarm lit up on the screen at the satellite monitoring center, and Taiyi's voice rang out:
"Warning! Warning! Unidentified object detected approaching Canglan Star. The target exhibits psionic energy and is 560,000 kilometers away from Canglan Star!"

"Warning! Warning! Unidentified object detected approaching Canglan Star. The target exhibits psionic energy and is 560,000 kilometers away from Canglan Star!"

Upon hearing the alarm, the staff at the satellite monitoring center all paled and turned to look at a marked spot on the monitoring screen. (End of Chapter)
