Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Outside the Dinghai star field, in a certain part of the starry sky.

Thousands of massive French ships are gathered here.

Among them, dozens of French ships were even tens of thousands of meters long.

These Dharma ships, which are tens of thousands of meters long, are called Starship Dharma Ships. They are Dharma ships that can travel quickly in the starry sky.

Its speed is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and it is not much slower than the Sky Mothership of the Xingfeng Sect.

This is the headquarters of the Star Alliance.

The Star Domain Alliance consists of four star domains: the Fire Brahma Star Domain, the Qian Yuan Star Domain, the Ling Xi Star Domain, and the Xuan Qiong Star Domain.

Of these four star regions, the Fire Brahma Star Region is the strongest, and the Spirit Tide Star Region is the weakest.

Even the weakest Lingxi Star Region sent nearly thirty Void Refinement cultivators and over a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators this time.

The total number of Void Refinement Realm experts in the entire Starfield Allied Forces is as high as two hundred.

This lineup already exceeds the total number of Void Refinement Realm experts in the Dinghai Star Region.

It should be noted that there are only a little over a hundred Void Refinement cultivators in the entire Dinghai Star Region.

Even with their overwhelming advantage, the Starfield Alliance's attack on the Dinghai Starfield was still not easy.

This is the difference in the foundation of the star domain. As one of the nine major star domains, the cultivators in Dinghai Star Domain are generally stronger than those in other star domains.

In addition, the number of half-step Dao Integration cultivators in the Dinghai Star Region far exceeds that of the Star Region Allied Forces.

Five people were present on one of the starships belonging to the Fire Brahma Star Region.

There were only five people on the entire starship.

All five of them exuded an aura of being at the half-step Dao Integration level.

Two of them are from the Fire Brahma Star Domain, and one of each of the other three major star domains is a half-step Dao Integration cultivator.

"Gentlemen, the northern defense lines have been successfully breached, and our people are now stationed on Haoyu Star, the closest star to the Central Star Sea."

The speaker was a man dressed in fiery red armor; he was burly and had a square face.

This person is one of the half-step Dao Integration cultivators in the Fire Brahma Star Domain, named Fen Wuji.

As a half-step Dao Integration cultivator, Fen Wuji was the only one among everyone present who had condensed two Dao Seeds.

The seed of the Dao is the prototype of the fruit of the Dao.

After a cultivator at the Refinement stage has condensed all the laws of the universe, they can attempt to condense a Dao Seed.

If the Dao Seed is successfully condensed, then one can be considered to have truly stepped into the realm of half-step into the Dao Integration stage.

With the power of the Dao Seed, one can unleash a unique domain of laws.

If one makes further progress and elevates the Dao seed into a Dao fruit, then one will truly be in harmony with the Dao.

Transforming the threads of law into Dao seeds is a step that has trapped countless cultivators in the Void Refinement stage. Without extraordinary opportunities and a great deal of time, it is simply impossible to succeed.

However, Fen Wuji successfully condensed two Dao Seeds.

Ten thousand years ago, Fen Wuji was already half a step into the Dao Integration Realm. It took him nearly ten thousand years to successfully condense the second Dao Seed.

The essence of the Half-Step Dao Integration stage is still Void Refinement, and their lifespan does not change much.

The total lifespan of a Void Refiner is only a little over 20,000 years.

Fen Wuji's lifespan is almost over, and the opening of the Immortal Realm Secret Realm is his only chance.

"Fellow Daoist Fen, is there no response from the Sea Fork Clan?" The speaker was a half-step Dao Integration expert from the Qian Yuan Star Region.

This is an elderly man dressed as a Taoist priest in a long robe, named Yuan Qingfeng.

The strength of the Qian Yuan Star Domain is second only to the Huo Fan Star Domain among the nine major star domains.

Fen Wuji snorted coldly:
"Those old guys from the Sea Fork Clan have always been very arrogant. I haven't received any reply to the messages I sent them."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people present all turned somewhat unpleasant.

At this moment, a female voice rang out:
"It seems that the Sea Fork Clan really sees us as a touchstone for their holy sons and daughters."

The one who spoke was the only woman among them. She wore a light blue dress and had a cool and aloof air about her delicate features.

This woman's name is Xi Qingxu, and she is a half-step Dao Integration level expert from the Lingxi Star Region.

Lingxi Star Domain is considered one of the lowest-ranking among the nine star domains, similar to Weiyang Star Domain.

Yuan Qingfeng said coldly:

"Hmph, if they want to use us as a litmus test, then the Sea Fork Clan should be prepared to pay the price!"

Fen Wuji narrowed his eyes and said:
"Everyone knows what the Sea Fork tribe is like. If we don't let them experience pain, they won't talk to us. We've gathered everyone here today to discuss our next move."

"Now there are only four lines of defense left that we haven't broken through. We will leave the eastern and southern lines of defense to our Fire Brahma Star Domain, and the remaining two lines to the three of you."

Upon hearing this, no one else in the room had any objections.

One person from the Fire Brahma Star Domain could handle two lines of defense, while the other three star domains only needed to deal with the other two.

Their mission was much easier than that of the Fire Brahma Starfield.

The group understood that Fen Wuji intended to consolidate his forces and crush all the forces deployed by the Sea Fork Clan in the peripheral areas in one fell swoop.

Yuan Qingfeng then said, "If I remember correctly, one of the remaining two lines of defense is guarded by the Sixth Holy Son, Cang Jilan. He has seventeen Void Refinement cultivators under his command, and he also has people from the Weiyang Star Region helping him in secret."

Upon hearing "Unknown Star Region," Xi Qingxu spoke sarcastically:
"That Li Songxuan, who is at the half-step Dao Integration stage, is willing to assist a junior in the Void Refinement stage. He has truly disgraced us!"

The strength of the Weiyang Star Region was originally weaker than that of the Lingxi Star Region.

However, Li Songxuan recently advanced to the half-step Dao Integration stage, making him even stronger than Lingxi Star Domain.

Yuan Qingzi said with a smile:

"Everyone has their own ambitions. After all, the Dao Integration Realm master behind the Weiyang Star Domain hasn't shown his face for tens of thousands of years. If Li Songxuan wants to enter the Immortal Realm Secret Realm, he can only rely on the Sea Chariot Clan."

Xi Qingxu curled her lips: "Back then, Senior Weiyangtian was a top figure who was famous throughout the Nine Domains. Now she has such a disciple. If she knew, she would probably clean up the sect on the spot."

Upon seeing the two start chatting, Fen Wuji frowned:
"Alright, we'll talk about the Weiyang Star Region later. You can each choose one of the remaining two lines of defense."

"Fellow Daoist Fen, what's the situation with the last line of defense?" The one who spoke was a half-step Dao Integration cultivator from the Xuanqiong Star Domain. He was a thin young man, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

Fen Wuji answered without hesitation:
"The other line is guarded by the Fifth Saintess, Cang Yuelan. She has eleven Void Refinement cultivators under her command. Although the number is less than that of Cang Jilan, she is supported by a force called Xingfeng Sect, which has blocked our attacks several times."

"Xingfeng Sect?" The others all looked puzzled.

The Star Alliance forces are all operating independently and do not have much understanding of the situation on each defensive line.

Those who knew about Xingfeng Sect were only the Void Refinement cultivators in the Star Domain Alliance who fought against Cang Yuelan; these half-step Dao Integration cultivators were unaware of it.

Fen Wuji said:
"This Wind Gate also comes from an extraterrestrial force. We haven't found out which star field it's from yet, but according to our guess, it should have at least one Void Refinement cultivator inside."

"Back then, the people of our Fire Brahma Star Region even took the initiative to contact this force, but none of the people we sent there returned."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingfeng immediately became interested:

"They actually dared to kill Fellow Daoist Fen's people directly. The Xingfeng Sect is truly audacious. However, how can a single Void Refinement cultivator hinder the army's advance? Is there something special about the Xingfeng Sect?"

Yuan Qingfeng's doubts were also the doubts of the others present.

Fen Wuji explained:
"This force has mastered a special way of refining weapons, and can create many strange and wonderful treasures. These treasures are very powerful. The army of cultivators sent to Cang Yuelan before basically died because of the treasures of Xingfeng Sect."

Xi Qingxu chuckled and said, "It's just a Void Refinement faction. Even if it has some special treasures, it's nothing but ants in the eyes of us half-step Dao Integration cultivators. I'll take care of Cang Yuelan's side. I'll also take care of Xingfeng Sect when the time comes, which will be a way to vent your anger for Fen Dao."

Upon hearing her say this, Yuan Qingfeng and the half-step Dao Integration expert from the Xuanqiong Star Domain both looked rather displeased.

Since Xi Qingxu chose Cang Yuelan, the two of them have no choice but to deal with Cang Jilan.

Cang Jilan may have the support of the Weiyang Star Region.

If Li Songxuan were to intervene, it would be a battle between those at the half-step Dao Integration stage. It's not a simple matter for experts of that level to make a move.

But since Xi Qingxu had spoken up, the two of them didn't know what to say.

Fen Wuji nodded:
"Since that's the case, then it's decided. I hope we can break through these four lines of defense within a month. It would be best if we could capture those holy sons and daughters."

Yuan Qingfeng said with a smile:

"Don't worry, when we half-step Dao Integration cultivators make our move, we'll definitely capture it easily."

No one said anything more, and they soon dispersed.

Only Fen Wuji and another half-step Dao Integration expert from the Fire Brahma Star Domain remained in the arena.

This person hasn't said a word from beginning to end; only Fen Wuji spoke throughout the entire meeting.

"Senior brother, have you considered that once beings of our level make a move, the Sea Fork Clan might also retaliate? At that time..."

Fen Wuji waved his hand:
"I'm going to force them to make a move! It's a fight to the death, I'll fight to the death. I only have less than a thousand years left to live, I absolutely have to get into the Immortal Realm this time!"

Fen Wuji's eyes were incredibly determined, even somewhat manic.

It's extremely difficult for someone at the half-step Dao Integration stage to advance to the Dao Integration stage.

Only the Immortal Realm within the Nine Star Domains offers such an opportunity.

Perhaps there are others beyond the nine star regions, but with his lifespan, he no longer has the time to explore them.

So he had no choice but to take a gamble, even if it meant risking the entire Fire Brahma Starfield!

“Senior brother, since you have made your decision, then I will not say anything more.” The half-step Dao Integration cultivator sighed and said nothing more.

On the continent of Mingzhou, at the Xingfeng Sect branch.

Chen Feng appeared in a room at the branch office.

Standing before him was Liu Qian, who was busy at work. Upon seeing Chen Feng appear, Liu Qian immediately stood up:

"Sect Master, you've emerged from seclusion?"

In Liu Qian's view, Chen Feng had been in seclusion for more than twenty years this time.

He was unaware that Chen Feng had returned to Earth to undergo tribulation and break through to the Void Refinement stage.

Chen Feng nodded; "Yes, you just came out of seclusion. Has anything major happened recently?"

Liu Qian shook his head:

"It's nothing serious. The Starfield Alliance is still fighting with the forces in the Dinghai Starfield. We didn't directly participate. We just traded some equipment to Cang Yuelan. In addition, some other forces want to buy weapons and equipment from us."

"Oh? What faction is it?"

“They are all vassal forces of those holy sons and daughters. Considering that we are cooperating with Cang Yuelan, we did not agree,” Liu Qian explained.

"There's no need to worry about her. If those forces want to buy, we'll sell. We'll sell them as much as they want."

For Chen Feng, it didn't matter who he sold the weapons and equipment to.

His relationship with Cang Yuelan wasn't so good that he could only sell her weapons and equipment.

There's a huge war going on all over the Dinghai Star Region right now; it's a good opportunity to make a fortune from the war.

“Okay, I’ll contact them later.” Liu Qian nodded.

Just then, a clear, crisp voice came from afar:
"Father!"

Chen Feng turned his head and saw a young woman dressed in a tight-fitting outfit running towards him.

Upon seeing the woman, Chen Feng smiled and said, "It's Feng Nuo."

After decades apart, Chen Feng almost didn't recognize the woman in front of him as the little girl Wang Fengnuo from back then.

After all, it was quite a shock to see a little girl he had once held suddenly grow into a young woman. Even Chen Feng was somewhat dazed.

The reason for this is that Chen Feng spends most of his time not in the world of the painting, but cultivating on Earth.

He cultivated on Earth for a few years, while decades passed in the world of the painting.

It was just a very short time for him.

"Godfather, how is your seclusion and cultivation going?" Wang Fengnuo asked.

Wang Fengnuo was still quite reserved with her godfather, Chen Feng, whom she had barely met since birth.

Chen Feng was either in seclusion or busy with other matters, and rarely had time to visit her.

Chen Feng patted Wang Fengnuo's head: "I'm fine, how about you?"

Chen Feng also felt that he had neglected many people around him because he had been cultivating all these years.

In the past, although he often went into seclusion, he would occasionally spend time with other people in the sect, getting together or chatting.

But ever since the spatial rift appeared on Earth, he has been either cultivating or competing for cultivation resources, and he has basically never stopped for the past few decades.

As Chen Feng patted her head, Wang Fengnuo obediently replied:
"I've already reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and I'm currently a captain in this branch's fleet!"

The fleet of Xingfengmen has been reorganized.

Each space carrier is now commanded by a captain.

Each space carrier is equipped with a fixed number of personnel. The position of captain in Xingfengmen is a combat-related position, which requires frequent deployment to the front lines.

Chen Feng frowned upon hearing this: "What are girls doing fighting and killing? You're still too weak to go to the front lines."

Wang Fengnuo said:
"It was my father who sent me. He said that we Wang family members are born to fight for Xingfeng Sect and for you, my godfather!"

"Nonsense! Where is your father? Bring him here." Chen Feng said seriously.

Wang Fengnuo lowered his head and spoke softly:
“Godfather, my father is on Canglan Star, and this is not only my father’s idea, I also want to come here myself.”

Seeing Wang Fengnuo's determined gaze, Chen Feng sighed. He then stretched out his right hand to the side, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

After breaking through to the Void Refinement stage, Chen Feng gained the ability to create a mustard seed space, and now he has put all his belongings into the mustard seed space.

After taking the longsword in his hand, Chen Feng infused it with some stellar power.

"Take this sword. It contains my stellar power and can unleash ten sword energies. It can only be used in times of crisis."

Wang Fengnuo immediately accepted the longsword with delight: "Thank you, godfather!"

The longsword Chen Feng gave him was just an acquired spiritual treasure; he himself didn't even know which enemy he had scavenged it from.

Although he had better treasures, Wang Fengnuo was only a Golden Core cultivator, so she couldn't use the better treasures.

This sword contains the power of the stars he left behind. Once activated, it is almost impossible for cultivators below the Void Refinement level to block it.

This can be considered as something he gave Wang Fengnuo to save his life.

Chen Feng had no demands for this little girl; he just wanted her to live a peaceful life. (End of Chapter)
