Double penetration, starting from being a trader

"Please give your orders, senior. We will do our utmost, even at the cost of our lives!" Honghuzi immediately declared respectfully.

Blood Fiend Heavenly Venerable was very satisfied with Honghuzi's attitude, and he immediately spoke:

"As you all saw before, besides me, there was another Celestial Venerable from the Xuanhuang Realm who came to the outside world. That person is named Li Shijian, and his strength is comparable to mine. He comes from the Three Saints Sect."

Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable explained the general situation of the Xuanhuang Realm to everyone, as well as the grudges between the Three Saints Sect and their Blood Demon Palace.

Everyone present was deeply shocked.

Those who transcend the Dao are called Celestial Venerables, and there are as many as six of them in the Xuanhuang Realm!

At the same time, they were also amazed by the abundant resources of the Xuanhuang Realm. The various spiritual resources within the Xuanhuang Realm alone were far more than those in their outside world.

Seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, Blood Fiend Heavenly Venerable spoke calmly:
"My Blood Demon Palace does indeed possess the method to break through to the Dao Integration Realm. I can tell you definitively that to break through to the Dao Integration Realm, one must refine the Primordial Spirit and then control the power of a world. This is the Dao Breaking Realm, breaking through one's own Dao and gaining sole control over a world!"

"As long as you serve our Blood Demon Palace well, I might consider teaching you those techniques!"

Blood Fiend Heavenly Venerable knew that if these people weren't given some hope, they wouldn't work wholeheartedly.

Everyone present was deeply moved upon hearing Blood Fiend Celestial's words.

The unease that had been building in everyone's hearts had long since vanished.

All they had was the desire to break through to the level of the Dao!

Chen Feng quietly observed the expressions on everyone's faces.

As expected, these old monsters, when faced with absolute profit, don't even consider the survival of the star field.

As far as Chen Feng knew, once the primordial spirit of a world was refined...

Then this world will completely become the property of that refining cultivator, because the cultivator can control everything within the star field.

If this cultivator uses too much world power, it will indirectly accelerate the destruction of the star field.

Because every time the power of the world is mobilized, it consumes the lifespan of the star field.

The reason why the Heavenly Venerables of the Xuanhuang Realm rarely take action is that each time they do, they consume the world power of the Xuanhuang Realm.

If they had acted without restraint, the Xuanhuang Realm would have perished long ago due to the excessive depletion of its world power.

But now that these Celestial Venerables have come to the outside world and are in control of the star fields there, they don't care about these things.

"Senior, how can I obtain the method to break through to the Dao Integration Realm?" Honghuzi asked with utmost eagerness, his respectful expression genuine.

Blood Fiend Heavenly Venerable's voice was indifferent: "How can such a method be easily imparted? The two tasks I asked you to do this time are a test. Only if you do them well will you have a chance to obtain the method."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood that in order to obtain the method, they had to satisfy the Blood Fiend Heavenly Venerable.

Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable then said, "I need you to send people to closely monitor the movements of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land. Notify me immediately of any news. In addition, send people to take over all the surrounding star fields, large and small. These star fields must be recovered in the shortest possible time. Any resistance will be annihilated!"

Having sacrificed so much of his lifespan to come to the outside world, Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable will not be polite.

His primary goal was to conquer more star regions and then extract their primordial spirit.

Upon hearing that Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable actually intended to take over all the star fields, the group was surprised, but no one dared to say anything.

Honghuzi hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Senior, you mentioned before that the person from the Three Saints Sect also came for the Primordial Spirit. What should we do if we encounter people from the Heavenly Profound Holy Land when we reclaim the Star Domain?"

There are more than 600 star systems of varying sizes in the surrounding area, and most of them are small star systems and some barren planets.

If the Heavenly Profound Holy Land also takes action, then the two sides will inevitably meet.

Upon hearing this, Blood Fiend Heavenly Venerable frowned immediately.

Previously, the Blood Demon Palace and the Three Saints Sect had agreed on conditions.

After leaving the outside world, Yuan Ling must have the Three Saints Sect select a group of people first.

But after seeing so many star fields outside, how could Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable give all the best primordial spirits to the Three Saints Sect?

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, Chen Feng spoke up from the crowd:
“I think we can ignore Tianxuan Holy Land for now. Didn’t you imprison those dozen or so cultivators before? Their star domains are mostly mid-level star domains. We can take over those star domains first and spread the word that those star domains voluntarily submitted to you.”

"In this way, even if the Three Saints Sect wants to cause trouble, we will be in the right."

Chen Feng's words made Blood Fiend Heavenly Venerable's eyes light up.

Although the Three Saints Sect was allowed to choose the Yuanling first according to the agreement, this does not mean that their Blood Demon Palace is a vassal force of the outside world. This point was not mentioned in the previous agreement.

Those he just arrested all came from forces in the Central Star Region, and their elemental spirits were of extremely high quality.

Even the Three Saints Sect wouldn't be able to explain why they took over these star regions, unless the other side was willing to completely break off relations.

Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable smiled and looked at Chen Feng, asking:

"Very good, what's your name?"

Before Chen Feng could speak, Hong Huzi spoke up:

"This is Chen Beijing, Fellow Daoist Chen. His Xingfeng Sect is currently one of the strongest forces in the surrounding star regions."

Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable nodded:
"Just do as the Northern Border suggests. If you encounter Li Shijian, just let me know. You don't need to worry about anything else!"

Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable's mention of "Northern Territory" almost left Chen Feng speechless.

This was the first time someone had called him that.

"We will obey your orders, senior!" Everyone immediately bowed respectfully.

After explaining the situation, Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable said nothing more and then turned and left.

Having finally arrived in the outside world, he naturally wanted to explore it all, as this world was far larger than their Xuanhuang Realm.

After the Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable left, everyone relaxed.

Honghuzi coughed a few times, then looked at Chen Feng:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, thanks to your earlier reminder, otherwise we might have missed this incredible opportunity!"

Everyone showed gratitude to Chen Feng, if it weren't for his earlier suggestion that they stay and wait.

They had no chance to follow the Blood Demon Lord.

Chen Feng shook his head and said:

"Fellow Daoist Honghuzi, you flatter me. It was you who took the initiative to contact Senior Xue Sha before. I was just offering a suggestion, nothing more."

Chen Feng's words clearly gave Hong Huzi a lot of face, which made Hong Huzi very happy.
"Hahaha, I knew I hadn't misjudged Fellow Daoist Chen!"

At this moment, Leng Shuangyan, who was standing nearby, said:

"Fellow Daoists, please don't stand on ceremony. Let's get down to business first."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned solemn. They were determined to complete the task entrusted to them by the Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable, for only by doing so could they obtain benefits from him.

Honghuzi took the initiative to speak:
"How about this? My Taiyi Sect will be responsible for monitoring the movements of the Tianxuan Holy Land, while the task of reclaiming the star field will be left to you fellow Daoists."

“I have no objection.” Leng Shuangyan was the first to agree.

The Taiyi Sect is the strongest, and they are more suitable to monitor the Tianxuan Holy Land than the Taiyi Sect. The lowest cultivation level among the people present is the fifth step of the Dao Integration Realm, so taking over other star regions is not a problem for them.

Immediately, everyone began to discuss the specifics of reclaiming the star field.

There were only five people present, and each person was basically assigned a task. Honghuzi's allocation was quite fair, and no one had any major objections.

After the matter was discussed, Honghuzi looked at everyone and said:
"Gentlemen, as you can see, the future will undoubtedly be a time of the greatest change in the star field's landscape. I hope that everyone here can work together to ensure that our forces gain sufficient benefits from this upheaval. I do not wish to see anyone engaging in underhanded tactics."

Honghuzi's words were also a warning. "Fellow Daoist Honghuzi is joking. We naturally know what to do in this situation," Tantai You said with a smile.

The Five Star Regions, represented by Tantai You, were naturally also kept behind, after all, they were a mid-level star region power.

"In that case, let's get started. If there are any problems, we can contact each other," Honghuzi said calmly.

Everyone then took their leave.

Soon, only Chen Feng remained in the arena.

Seeing that Chen Feng hadn't left yet, Honghuzi asked:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, is there something you need?"

Chen Feng said, "Fellow Daoist Honghuzi, what about the promise your sect made to me before?"

Honghuzi naturally knew what Chen Feng was talking about, and he smiled as he spoke:
"Rest assured, I have not forgotten my promise. Fellow Daoist of the Northern Underworld can go at any time. I wonder when you plan to go?"

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a while."

Chen Feng originally planned to go to the Northern Underworld after dealing with the barrier issue, but now that the people from the Xuanhuang Realm have arrived, he has to put that matter on hold for now.

"Alright, if you wish to come, you can come to my Taiyi Sect to find me at any time. This is my warrant. Even if I am not here, you can still use the Black Eye with this warrant."

Honghuzi handed a token to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the token.

"Thank you, then I'll take my leave now."

Chen Feng didn't say anything more and then turned and left.

After Chen Feng left, Ling Xiaozi, who was standing next to Hong Huzi, spoke up:

"Senior brother, we still need to be wary of this person. Senior Blood Fiend just praised him quite a bit."

Ling Xiaozhi had witnessed Blood Fiend Heavenly Venerable's praise of Chen Feng.

It can be said that whoever is valued by the Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable will have their status elevated in the surrounding star regions.

Therefore, in Ling Xiaozhi's view, Chen Feng had undoubtedly become a threat to their Taiyi Sect.

Honghuzi smiled and said, "Junior brother, don't worry. Although this person is quite strong, in terms of influence and power in the star field, our Taiyi Sect still has the most. I think this person will not only not be a threat, but will be an asset to us."

"Senior brother, do you intend to subdue this person? That's unlikely." Ling Xiaozi frowned.

Chen Feng's strength has reached a level comparable to the fifth step of the Dao Integration Realm. Such a powerful person is not so easy to subdue.

Honghuzi shook his head:
"Subduing him is impossible, but befriending him is definitely not a problem. Alright, let's organize our manpower immediately and take care of what Senior Blood Fiend asked us to do first."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaozi said no more and quickly turned and left.

Chen Feng had no idea that Ling Xiaozi was wary of him because of his previous words.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't think anything of it.

His previous suggestion to Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable was simply to keep the conflict between the Blood Demon Palace and the Three Saints Sect going.

Ideally, the two Celestial Venerables would be preoccupied with matters concerning the Primordial Spirit, thus diverting their attention from his side.

Chen Feng had already returned to Xingfeng Sect.

Although the barrier was more than ten light-years away from Xingfeng Gate, the scroll teleportation allowed Chen Feng to return instantly.

After arriving at Xingfeng Sect, Chen Feng found Liu Qian.

Liu Qian was still handling matters in the cabinet when he saw Chen Feng return. Liu Qian immediately stood up and asked:
"Sect Master, is the matter over at the barrier resolved?"

Liu Qian seemed puzzled, because he had only received news of Wang Fengnuo and others' operations in other star systems a few hours earlier.

Chen Feng said, "We've reached a preliminary result, but some unexpected things have happened."

Chen Feng briefly explained the changes that had occurred on the other side of the barrier to Liu Qian.

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Qian's expression became serious.

"I never expected such a change to happen. It seems that the surrounding star regions are about to descend into chaos in the near future."

"Yes, we also need to prepare early. We need to increase the production of antimatter warships, and not worry about consumption. We should try to replace all the warships in the inner fleet with antimatter warships." Chen Feng said slowly.

As the level of enemies encountered increases, some of Xingfengmen's previous weapons are becoming obsolete.

Take space carriers, for example; they can be used against ordinary forces.

However, it is still far inferior to a powerful force that controls the entire star field, and its speed is seriously lacking.

Therefore, after the antimatter warship was developed, Chen Feng ordered Tuosen to stop the research and development of the space carrier and instead focus all his efforts on developing the antimatter warship.

Only by replacing all of Xingfengmen's warships with antimatter engines can Xingfengmen truly possess the ability to fight across star systems.

“Yes, Sect Master, I’ll make the arrangements right away.” Liu Qian nodded solemnly.

Through trade with other star systems over the years, Xingfengmen has accumulated a large amount of resources, which is naturally sufficient to produce antimatter warships.

Liu Qian then asked, "Then, Sect Master, what about the matter of subduing those star fields?"

"Just send some people over there," Chen Feng said calmly.

Chen Feng didn't take the matter of helping Blood Fiend Celestial Venerable reclaim the star domains to heart. He was certain that there would be problems in conquering these star domains.

Chen Feng suddenly thought of something and said to Liu Qian:

"Oh right, I almost forgot, go contact Feng Nuo and the others and tell them to return to the sect."

Wang Fengnuo and the others are currently operating in other star systems. Now that something has happened, it is natural to call them back.

"Yes, I'll let them know later." Liu Qian wrote down all of Chen Feng's instructions.

Chen Feng then inquired about the current situation of Xingfeng Sect. After learning that nothing serious had happened, he returned to the modern world.

Modern world, lunar base.

As soon as Chen Feng returned to the lunar base, a beam of light appeared in front of him.

The person who arrived was none other than Lin Wei.

Lin Wei looked at Chen Feng and said:

"Is there something wrong with the space rift on Earth?"

Lin Wei had already learned of Chen Feng's return to Earth through people on Mount Fuji. Since she couldn't contact Chen Feng, she went to check out the spatial rift.

However, Lin Wei discovered that the original Haotian Secret Realm had disappeared, which made her very uneasy.

"Yes, the spatial passage over there suddenly disappeared, and the rift will also disappear soon. As for the reason, it's still unclear."

Chen Feng didn't explain much to Lin Wei, because it involved the world of the painting.
"This seems to be a good thing. We won't have to worry about the forces behind the Haotian Secret Realm anymore."

"There's something I need to tell you," Lin Wei said, her tone turning serious.

"What is it?" Chen Feng asked.

"Just a few days ago, our X-ray telescope, located near the moon, detected a peculiar electromagnetic signal, approximately four hundred light-years away." (End of Chapter)
