Chapter 2534: Chapter 2526: Changes in Old Friends
The current Insect World is under the control of Gui Xuan Huang Men and Yuangang Men, but if these two sects can’t quickly consume this world, they must allow other forces to come in and share the spoils—if you don’t have the appetite, how can you stop others?
In this world, if you name a star system, the naming power gains a certain initiative. If you can occupy it, the initiative is even greater.
Take the current star system, Tuotuo named it the Seven Crows Star System, and Luan Xiong named it the Luan Jiu Galaxy. It’s not just a matter of who ranks in front; it’s also a declaration that these two have named the star system.
Similarly, in the second battlefield that Feng Jun led people to open, no one named it, and they followed common practice by calling it the "Protractor Star System" because... at that time, there wasn’t even a True Sage, so what else are you thinking about?
In fact, if it weren’t for Luan Xiong and Jiu Si traveling together and naming it after discovering the star system, a single True Sage wouldn’t have been able to name it, especially under the premise that the two sects had already dominated this world.
Only when two True Sages name it together, with the involvement of two major forces and mutual verification, can they ensure legal support.
Naming rights are just an objective concept with many nuances and varying interpretations—ultimately, it still depends on strength.
But Tuotuo True Sage is very slippery, and he smiled and said, "I took one word from each of our names as a witness. I didn’t really consider the naming rights."
He was invited to the Insect World by the two sects, and it was inappropriate for him to express some sensitive claims of interest.
Wei Sancai has lived for over four thousand years, what hasn’t he seen? He sneered and said, "Since you didn’t consider it, no one can stop me from hunting here, right?"
"As you wish," Tuotuo True Sage replied indifferently, "But there are only twenty or so Nascent Soul Insect Races left here. We are planning to attract the Insect Race’s warp swarm. If you want to make a move, we need to discuss it."
"Warp? That’s not a problem!" Wei Sancai’s eyes lit up instantly. He had already heard Feng Jun mention the concept of warp, and he had been studying space rules, even going to White Pebble Beach to see the Space Annihilation Technique.
The space rules in this world might not be the same as in the Tianqin World, but it doesn’t matter. Different rules, yet the Great Dao always has similarities. If he can find what he needs, it won’t be a wasted trip.
Luan Xiong True Sage has some apprehension towards Han Hai. He knows he can’t beat this guy, and it would be best if this person leaves—this guy is even harder to deal with than him.
So Feng Jun first sent Han Hai to the First Battlefield, then came to the Big Planet and asked the miners if they were ready, and if anyone liked to fight, he could take them to the Third Battlefield.
The first to stand out was Yan Yuxi. She believed she needed a few battles to find the feeling of advancing.
When she reached the ninth level of the Out-of-Body stage, Feng Jun was still at the eighth level, but when she formed her Core, Feng Jun was already at the Second Layer Golden Core, and now, Feng Jun is at the Fifth Layer Golden Core.
It’s worth noting that Yan Yuxi is recognized by the Yan Family as a Nascent Soul Seedling. She has always surpassed others, and now being surpassed like this really frustrates her.
Of course, despite her frustration, she wouldn’t let something like this damage her Dao heart. The main thing is she indeed feels a bit of a breakthrough and wants to find a place to hone herself and stimulate her potential.
However, at the Big Planet, more than one member of the Yan Family came, and someone directly stopped Yan Yuxi: You can’t go, honestly stay here with the others to mine and experience it. Only when you become a Nascent Soul will your true strength be shown.
But in this context, her attitude really didn’t matter much. The Yan Family was always a negligible small force, and their family training didn’t mean much to other forces.
Two days later, the team was selected, and the Yan Family was still entangled with Yan Yuxi. Feng Jun couldn’t help it, "We are all leaving, are you coming or not?"
"Of course," Yan Yuxi’s attitude was firm, "But my family keeps stopping me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Nichang spoke up, "What, does the Yan Family want to stop our main force from moving out?"
This time, Immortal Nichang was going to fight again mainly because she just advanced to Nascent Soul and was in the foundation-building stage. The Second Layer Nascent Soul was a long time away, so even getting a little hurt was fine. Frequent battles indeed helped solidify her foundation.
If it were in the Kunhao Realm, she might be a bit apprehensive of the Yan Family, giving them a bit of face, but now that she had joined Jinwu and entered the Inner Sect, if she didn’t take responsibility, her peers from Jinwu would look down on her.
Her assertiveness left the Yan Family with nothing more to say, forcing them to bow and say, "Immortal Nichang is also part of Jinwu Sect, we hope Luan Xiong Great Sage will take care of her."
"I’m not familiar with Luan Xiong Ancestral Master," Xia Nichang wouldn’t take this burden, "It’s rather Yan Yuxi, who is good friends with Mountain Master Feng, and Mountain Master Feng is a friend of Luan Xiong Ancestral Master... we should rely more on Yan Yuxi."
The Space Fleet was reorganized and launched an assault directly into the Luan Jiu Galaxy—with three True Sages, what do we have to fear??
The moment Feng Jun brought the fleet over, the three True Immortals felt it and stopped what they were doing to hurry over—this matter was communicated in advance, the True Sages might be formidable, but the specific tasks still required execution by lower-level cultivators.
After the discussions, those who had been tempered by the Second Battlefield, Xia Nichang included, felt that the Third Battlefield seemed too comfortable—with True Immortals covering them, what cruelty could there be?
But the reality is clearly not so simple. Not only Xia Nichang, but many people remained calm. The path we are treading was tested with the blood and flesh of our predecessors. It was certainly difficult at first, but it will get easier.
Feng Jun also felt this made sense; understanding how to learn from mistakes is the real path to progress, that’s what defines an intelligent race.
However, he had gathered so many Lower-Level Cultivators here, feeling it necessary to emphasize: The present danger is not high, but the reason the three True Sages left over twenty Insect Race Nascent Souls alive is to set an ambush and lure the Insect Race’s jump army.
So, consider the danger yourselves and decide if you can afford to get involved.
Of course, this is just a plan, whether it can indeed lure the Insect Race’s jump support is another matter.
This statement truly intimidated many of the Lower-Level Cultivators: so the Insect Race’s Nascent Souls were spared intentionally?
Everyone present was at least a Golden Core Cultivator; hardly anyone was unaware of fishing tactics. Even if one hadn’t done it themselves, they’ve experienced it at least—or like Yan Yuxi, a well-behaved person who was once caught on a fishing line, though the one who tried to trap her was eliminated by the Yan Family.
However, the current situation was somewhat beyond everyone’s imagination. Was this meant to fish for those at the Emergence Stage?
In the end, more than twenty Golden Core Cultivators expressed that they felt the danger here was a bit too high and wished to return to the Big Planet.
Among these people, the Cultivators from smaller Clans were in the majority.
They were like steady anchors within their Clans. Even if they felt fear, they had to bear it without showing, but here and now, there were no such concerns. Among so many Cultivators, the lowest cultivation level was Golden Core, with the highest at the Emergence Stage True Sages.
Their intention was clear. Battling Nascent Soul Bugs posed no problem, but the Emergence Stage was a bit too intimidating, especially as their Clans didn’t have many Golden Cores—losing one would be unbearable.
No one mocked them. For smaller Clans, this was the wisest choice. Even the Cultivators from the larger Clans showed mostly impatience when looking at them—why come at all if you don’t have the capability?
Feng Jun sent them back, then contacted Luan Jiu Galaxy, saying, "You continue fighting slowly. I’ll send Han Hai True Sage to the frontline, then I’ll return to Tianqin as I have other matters to handle there."
However, after bringing Han Hai to the frontline, he discovered that the situation changed again. The Insect Race not only didn’t relax their ground attacks but also intensified their assaults on the Human Race Warship in Outer Space, throwing caution to the wind.
Just as Feng Jun arrived on Xingzheng Star’s surface, a segment of Divine Sense from Xiaotong True Sage reached over, directly addressing Han Hai True Sage.
Feng Jun had no idea what happened, he just felt his eyes blur, and Han Hai True Sage suddenly vanished.
Steadying himself, he noted it was still daytime, then flashed to Zuo Jing City.
In Zuo Jing, it was already evening. The air above the city was still filled with scattered Insect Race, and the ravaged city below told Feng Jun of the recent attacks on Zuo Jing.
Feng Jun paid no heed to these but instead went to the production base at Hesheng.
To his astonishment, the battle was still ongoing here.
The defense perimeter of the production base had noticeably shrunk, with the dormitory area abandoned, and most of the storage area given up. More than half of the production workshops were abandoned as well. Clearly, most of the people and production activities had moved underground.
City Defense Army primarily dominated the defense, with some ordinary people cooperating, including women among them.
Feng Jun wasn’t unfamiliar with female warriors, but in Hesheng, they were a rarity. This was due to the fact that Hesheng was an organized resistance group comprising not only Guards but also production and living areas. Combat wasn’t deemed particularly suitable for women.
Yet now, within the defense perimeter, a quarter of the warriors were women. Feng Jun shook his head and sighed softly, "Is the casualty rate this high?"
Then, he noticed a surprise: He Runxian was not in the underground shelter but in a command room on the fourth basement level, and he wasn’t just accompanied by military personnel but also by people who were evidently staff from the production base.
"What on earth happened?" Feng Jun pulled out a radio.
The next moment, however, he returned to White Pebble Beach, where Yi Jue was protecting his home. "Immortal Yi Jue, it seems there are some unexpected changes on the Insect Race frontline. Would you like to go and have a look together?"
In a flash, a beautifully dressed lady appeared before him, "Let’s go."
