"Hello, respected Excellency Bo Siqi. The small spaceship 'Silver Moon' you requisitioned is at berth 1254..."
The Flight Vehicle connected to the docking Port, and a guiding voice ca from the internal channel.
Hum— The cabin door opened. Su Chen stepped down from the Flight Vehicle, the soles of his feet landing on the anti-gravity cushion pad.
A boiling and clamorous air ca Rushing Toward One, and his ears were filled with low hums and noisy sounds.
In the Starport corridor, people were coming and going, rubbing shoulders and following closely on each other's heels. There were people everywhere, all of them Sect mbers. So were young, so were old, so had excited expressions on their faces, and so were crestfallen.
Su Chen stopped, looked left and right, and secretly sighed with emotion: "It's indeed been a long ti since I felt such lively human energy."
rging into the flow of people, he hadn't even taken two steps before he heard soone shout: "Brother Bo!"
It was a patrol guard stationed on the side, and even a captain.
"It's you ah." Su Chen had a look of pleasant surprise on his face, "Are you on duty today?"
The other party wasn't old and sported a Bearded Man look. He exchanged pleasantries: "Yeah, Big Brother Bo is going out on business again?"
"Right, going out for a trip."
"Then you go busy yourself quickly." The other party hurriedly stepped aside.
"You're too polite, too polite. I'll call you for a drink when I'm free." Su Chen waved his hand and walked away.
He didn't have any foundation in the Sect. Bo Siqi and Ming Lin were the sa as him. Because of their experiences on the Barren Planet, they were best at communicating with the middle and lower classes.
He was most familiar with these patrol guards, inspector guards, and the like at the passes.
Walking along the way, Su Chen didn't know how many acquaintances he encountered, and used that sa set of rhetoric, not exposing any flaws.
"Old Bo, you're really excited enough. Have you recovered from last night?" The person responsible for security was very sturdy, winking and making faces.
Su Chen paused slightly, similarly revealing an ambiguous smile: "What do you think?"
"Hahaha." The other party laughed loudly. While using various instrunts to scan Su Chen's body, he waved his hand unconcernedly, "Go on, go on, I'll find you when you get back."
Su Chen walked straight through the security channel. His disguise with the Shadow of the Past was almost Flawless Perfection, unless a deep inspection of the physical and ntal levels was conducted using special thods.
But conducting such an inspection for no reason was tantamount to forging a deadly enmity.
Using Su Chen's Access Level, he requisitioned a high-specification small spaceship for Bo Siqi, whose sailing speed within the Star Gate was extrely fast.
Under the fastest circumstances, arriving at the Mount Tai Nexus from the Bronze Sect only required ten days.
This was a benefit belonging to the Sect's higher-ups.
Following the Port signs, Su Chen arrived at the spaceship's berth. This Silver Moon was indeed not very big, taking the shape of a streamlined shuttle, composed of dark silver tal, its surface gleaming with a cold and hard tallic luster.
"The manufacturing craftsmanship specifications are very high." Su Chen swept his gaze over it. The outer shell wasn't smoothly integrated into one piece, but rather embedded with countless hexagonal alloy plates, overlapping layer by layer like scales.
The edges of every piece of tal shed precisely, revealing a cold silver-gray. The energy conduits at the seams, as fine as spiderwebs, faintly glowed.
After verifying his identity and entering, the lights gradually lit up: "Hello, respected Excellency Bo Siqi. Welco to using the Silver Moon spaceship. Do you agree that all energy and ammunition consud during the period of use will be your responsibility, as well as damages..."
This was the Sect's spaceship; he was just temporarily requisitioning it. There was a large string of usage regulations, which Su Chen naturally agreed to.
Following that, the intelligent system connected to the Sect's navigation templates and selected the Mount Tai Nexus as the destination.
Hum— Under the operation of the artificial intelligence, the engine nozzles faintly spewed out deep blue light, and the spaceship gradually set sail following the tractor beam.
Su Chen stood at the porthole, looking at the endless stream of spaceships near the Star Gate, both large and small. The brilliant flas they spewed out intertwined into a magnificent net.
"I really haven't had much ti to properly look at this magnificent world." He sighed with emotion. Strictly speaking, this was the first ti he had left since entering the Bronze Sect.
The planet he went to last ti was still under the Sect's dominion, but the Mount Tai Nexus he was heading to was completely outside the Bronze Sect's sphere of influence.
The spaceship gradually subrged into the Star Gate. The Star Gate sailing route was bizarre and motley, not having much worth looking at. Su Chen pushed the speed rate to the maximum.
Imdiately, he took out various tal Materials, preparing to use this gap to upgrade his Mystic Tools, while also casually opening the Status Panel's Dispatch tab.
When a Dispatched Profession returned, there wouldn't be a prompt. Su Chen had already developed the habit of checking at any ti.
The last ti he checked was yesterday. At that ti, all Professions were still in the Dispatched state, but today there was a change.
"Oh? Eternal Physique returned?" His brows raised slightly—
[Eternal Physique has brought back an item that might be helpful to you. Do you wish to Extract it?]
"This ti it's an item?" Su Chen sensed it slightly. Extracting it this ti required consuming ten portions of Divine Blood, even more than last ti.
After choosing to Extract, an item gradually appeared before his eyes, crackling and flashing with Lightning Glow. It was only about the thickness of a hair, yet extrely dense, to the point that even he faintly felt sowhat palpitating and horrified.
[A wisp of Ten-Thousand-Year Lightning Arc: Can slightly reduce the Profession Requirents difficulty for Lightning Elent Main Professions, Specialized Classes, and Holy Classes.]
"It indeed is sowhat helpful to ..." Su Chen was quite satisfied. "This kind of good thing doesn't exist in the Dust Star Sea. Even in the Abyssal Domain, I estimate it wouldn't be that simple to obtain."
The Crimson Fla was a large-scale reduction; this lightning arc was a small-scale reduction, one tier weaker, but definitely also very precious.
"I wonder if these things are created out of nothing, or if they have so relationship with reality..."
There were too few cases, so he couldn't deduce it either. Not planning to let Eternal Physique rest, he directly Dispatched it out again. Getting everything moving was the way to go.
Putting away the Status Panel, piece by piece, tal Materials lted and gradually subrged into the various Mystic Tools.
...
At the Mount Tai Nexus, several ultra-large Star Gates were surrounded by a large number of small Star Gates. The number of spaceships flowing in and out here was extrely terrifying.
From among them, a black, spindle-shaped small spaceship slowly sailed out. The intelligent voice in the cabin sounded: "Hello, respected Excellency He Peiting. Welco to the Mount Tai Nexus. An express channel has already been arranged for you to proceed to the Bronze Sect. Please wait patiently."
Black Buddha stood before the porthole, looking down at the scene below, the depths of his eyes a patch of cold silence.
Sure enough, no unexpected situations occurred this ti. He very smoothly obtained all the Divine Objects.
The only trouble was whether he needed to open his portable Space and undergo an all-around inspection when returning to the Sect.
Black Buddha was pondering in his heart, when he suddenly heard a voice sound in the broadcast channel: "Hello, respected Excellency He Peiting. Soone at the Bronze Sect station has requested you to go report in."
"Soone wants to see ?" He Peiting frowned slightly. Not wanting any unexpected situations, he only wanted to return to the Sect as soon as possible, and then look for an opportunity to make a move against Su Chen.
He said in a deep voice: "I don't have ti."
"Alright, your request has been conveyed."
But in the next mont, the broadcast voice sounded again. Not only that, the spaceship that was originally being towed in its set course suddenly paused, actually detaching from the set course and drifting out:
"Apologies, Excellency He Peiting. Based on the station agreent signed between the Mount Tai Nexus and the Bronze Sect, the Bronze Sect has the right to dispose of its internal mbers. Please prepare for landing."
"Forcing to go?" Black Buddha didn't understand why. He didn't know what had happened, even suspecting whether his own identity had been exposed.
But right now, it was impossible for him to resist or refuse. He could only watch helplessly as the spaceship was towed, constantly switching courses, and gradually landing at the berth in the Port.
Just after stepping off the spaceship, he saw a security officer of the Mount Tai Nexus waiting: "Is this Excellency He Peiting?"
Black Buddha nodded, "That's right."
The leader was extrely sturdy, wearing full-body armor. Glancing at the virtual photo in his hand, he said: "Let's go."
Their attitude was actually quite gentle. He Peiting remained silent, following behind them.
After changing to an internal Flight Vehicle, He Peiting arrived at the Bronze Sect's station and went straight to the top floor.
The one stationed here year-round was an 8th-Tier Professional nad Peng Hui. At this mont, he was already here waiting for him.
"You are He Peiting?" Peng Hui was quite old, his temples already white. He sported a goatee, was hale and hearty, and carried a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"Yes, I wonder what matter you sought for?" Seeing him in this state, He Peiting felt increasingly uneasy in his heart.
"Haha!" Peng Hui suddenly laughed loudly. "Old Zhou has shown off to both openly and secretly quite a few tis. Seeing you today, you're indeed not bad."
"It's related to my Teacher?" Black Buddha made another fierce mark against Zhou Yunyang in his heart.
"You don't need to care about this." Peng Hui shook his head, saying mysteriously: "The higher-ups have assigned a good task to you."
"A good task?" Black Buddha revealed a blank expression, "Please explain in detail."
"It's a guiding task. In a few days, two important figures will arrive. All you need to do is guide them to the Bronze Sect. You'll just be picking up Sect contributions for free."
Black Buddha was speechless in his heart. Naturally, he didn't want to accept this task, only wanting to return as soon as possible.
But with his identity, it was completely impossible to say words of refusal. He could only reveal a joyful expression and say: "Many thanks for your care."
"Not only that, there are other benefits too." Peng Hui gave a mysterious smile. "Those are benefits that many people beg for but cannot get."
Black Buddha had almost no patience, but could only squeeze out a look of anticipation and excitent: "Please do tell."
"Hehe." Peng Hui pinched his beard but shook his head, saying, "You'll know when the ti cos."
Another one courting death! Black Buddha secretly made a note of this person, but found himself becoming increasingly impatient.
Regardless, with He Peiting's identity, he could only helplessly stay here and wait for those two so-called important figures to arrive.
...
"Brother Taixuan, the other person who obtained Recognition has the True Radiance Talent and is also at the 7th-Tier. If you can Challenge him successfully, it would also be boundless rit..."
In the Cultivation Sanctum, Kong Ming looked at Taixuan Tianyi with an earnest expression.
It was unknown which Faction in the Abyssal Domain that person ca from. If he ca next ti and learned that the Buddha Land had already intervened, he would definitely sell this place to others at a higher value to obtain maximum profit.
The only thod he could think of right now was to have Taixuan Tianyi attempt to Challenge the other party, or even beat him to death, in order to drag it out for a while longer.
"Let go Challenge him?" Taixuan Tianyi's heart jumped. thods had already been planted on him by the Imasurable Buddha, so naturally it was impossible for him to resist.
Hesitating slightly, he inquired: "Is that True Radiance 7th-Tier you spoke of located on the Third Level, in the sixth Palace from the left?"
"You know?" Kong Ming seed sowhat surprised.
It really is that Taixuan Hong. How did he beco True Radiance? Taixuan Tianyi verified his guess, but grew increasingly puzzled.
"You seem to be hiding so things..." The Imasurable Buddha had already looked over.
Taixuan Tianyi ca here with them. After the Cultivation Sanctum opened, he was thrown in. It was completely impossible for him to know the locations of the Palaces below, yet he could point it out in one sentence right now.
Taixuan Tianyi's heart tightened as a mountain-like pressure descended. He was also very helpless. If it really was that Taixuan Hong, having already Challenged him once, there was absolutely no way to Challenge him again. If he didn't speak now, he would be exposed sooner or later. He could only say helplessly:
"Actually, I have already Challenged him once."
"What?" Kong Ming was stunned. "You Challenged him once and failed?"
"If you failed, how are you still alive? He actually didn't kill you?"
The Imasurable Buddha, however, had a guess. Slowly standing up, he said, "This person defeated you but didn't kill you, and you even covered for him. Do you know this person?"
Taixuan Tianyi hesitated and said: "He calls himself Taixuan Hong."
"Taixuan Hong?" Astonishnt flashed past the Imasurable Buddha's eyes. "He's soone from your Taixuan House. Why haven't I heard Taixuan Yan ntion him?"
Taixuan Yan was precisely the na of his Second Uncle. Taixuan Tianyi hesitated and said: "It's just that he calls himself Taixuan Hong, but whether he actually is or not, I'm not certain either..."
The Imasurable Buddha twirled a string of prayer beads in his hand, considering: "Your Taixuan House, ever since the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith died, its numbers have gradually withered. As far as I know, apart from you all, there are probably three other branches outside..."
"Three other branches?" Taixuan Tianyi was surprised; he didn't even know about this.
He suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. Could that guy really be soone from the Taixuan House?
"If this person cos from Taixuan, we truly must find a way to eradicate this threat..." The Imasurable Buddha frowned. The Taixuan House was different from others. After all, they had worshipped this Spirit of the Vast Sun for tens of thousands of years. If this person was kept alive, there was no guarantee when he might beco the Chosen.
But Taixuan Tianyi failed the Challenge and already lost his qualifications. Kong Ming was one tier higher than him, yet was unable to Challenge him.
"This matter is truly sowhat thorny. Unless we forcefully break through the Cultivation Sanctum and beat him to death, but those guys outside definitely won't just stand by and watch."
Because he was caught secretly using ans last ti, the peace between the two sides that was already floating on the surface had been torn apart.
The Imasurable Buddha suddenly asked: "When you ca last ti, you were subdued by those several guys outside. How could you Challenge this person?"
Taixuan Tianyi could only recount the general events once, omitting the minor detail of "Su Chen."
"The relationship between those two sides is also not good?" The Imasurable Buddha was thoughtful. His expression suddenly shifted slightly, and he looked towards Kong Ming: "It's about ti, right?"
Kong Ming nodded: "Yes, Master. But your current body..."
"A few minor injuries are no hindrance. Take it out."
Kong Ming followed the advice. His hands actually gradually sank into his own chest, slowly scooping out a resplendent Ball of Light.
Taixuan Tianyi on the side saw clearly that within that Ball of Light was a small tree about the size of a palm, bearing seven branches.
This is... His expression suddenly underwent a Startling Change, "This is the Seven-Branch Wondrous Tree?"
"Oh? You actually recognize it?" The Imasurable Buddha extended his palm, and Phantom Images of completely different forms erged around his body—either a burly Vajra, a blue dragon, or a giant white tiger, and the like.
All of them spat out wisps of radiance, gradually rging onto this Mystic Tree. The branches and trunk trembled, its brilliant light resplendent.
Taixuan Tianyi's breathing was rapid. He murmured: "It's rumored that this tree is the foundation of the World-Honored One of the Buddha Land, possessing all kinds of Unimaginable effects..."
Imdiately after, Kong Ming also cut his palm. Drop by drop, resplendent fresh blood watered upon it, emitting a "ding-ding-dang-dang" sound, and its radiance seed to blaze a bit more fiercely.
A long ti later, Kong Ming carefully cupped this small tree again, seeming preparing to take it back into his body.
"If it were the true Seven-Branch Wondrous Tree, it would naturally be the foundation of a World-Honored One. However, this item is rely a seed." The Imasurable Buddha completely didn't mind, and turned to consider the matter from just now again: "If I ally with others..."
But before his words faded, his pupils abruptly contracted. His expression, which hadn't changed much even when facing the siege of six people, suddenly twisted. A terrifying Aura boiled and rippled outward!
Kong Ming's eyes, which were like unrippled water, also surfaced with panic and fluster. He cried out in alarm: "Master!"
Taixuan Tianyi was forced to retreat repeatedly, crashing into the wall. His Adam's apple bobbed, yet he wasn't the slightest bit surprised by the Startling Change in the two. He just stared blankly at Kong Ming's palm.
He saw clearly that the Seven-Branch Wondrous Tree, with almost no warning whatsoever, had abruptly vanished from Kong Ming's hand.
...
At the Mount Tai Nexus, Su Chen was unhurriedly chewing a piece of juicy red at, the tip of his tongue wrapped in the rich at aroma and a trace of mildly spicy seasoning.
This was a restaurant located in the core area of the Mount Tai Nexus. It had silver-gray curved walls, and embedded lighting strips flowed with a soft amber halo.
"The taste is indeed not bad..." While savoring the fine food, Su Chen was pondering in his heart: "Lao Hei has already been kept behind. Lu Huai and Ni Chuan should also be arriving soon. The plan should be feasible."
He casually opened the Status Panel, swept his gaze over it, and his expression shifted slightly.
[The World-Slaying Manifestation, based on the Intelligence provided by the Flash-Shadow Body, has obtained an item that might be helpful to you.]
"Oh, they can actually link up." Su Chen was quite surprised. This ti the World-Slaying Manifestation and Flash-Shadow Body returned together. He was actually sowhat curious in his heart about what kind of thing they had obtained.
He attempted to Extract it, but revealed a Surprised Expression, "Three hundred drops of Divine Blood!?"
What the hell is this thing?
