Chapter 2559: Chapter 2551: Can’t Hold On Anymore
After finishing the affairs in Youjing, Feng Jun and Yi Jue finally relaxed a bit. At least the three largest human bases had increased their resources.
The True Sages such as Ren Tu didn’t continue to demand anything. Ever since the seven Insect Race Nascent Souls were slaughtered in Xiajing and the appearance of the Rain Prayer Array, the Insect Race Nascent Souls have not paid any further attention.
Feng Jun did some calculations, realizing that the probability of the war ending within six to eight months had increased, so he knew he could leave.
Before leaving, Yi Jue summoned Han Yi True Sage.
Han Yi True Sage was also very interested in the Sun-Mirroring Glass. However, upon seeing it for the first time, he glanced at Feng Jun, "Fellow Daoist Han Hai was right, Feng Xiaoyou indeed has profound roots."
The aura that had been infused by the Guardian had not been fully consumed yet. He briefly focused on it and felt that unusually obscure and subtle pressure. Even though it was just a faint trace, it caused his thoughts to slightly stagnate, making him drowsy.
To be honest, Han Yi True Sage was quite startled. He didn’t know the cultivation level of the one who bestowed it, but at the very least, it was the late Divine Spirit Stage. Considering that the intention behind the aura wasn’t malicious, only suppressing divine sense, perhaps... it was the Body Integration Realm?
Regardless, he didn’t dare to underestimate this trace of aura at all, which is why he was so courteous to Feng Jun.
"This item is a trophy that Fellow Daoist Feng and I obtained together after slaying Tiegu," Yi Jue took the initiative to speak, not to emphasize the ownership of the Sun-Mirroring Glass, but to show that she also had credibility here, "Unfortunately, it is damaged."
Han Yi True Sage clearly understood their relationship with Feng Jun. Although there appears to be a big difference in cultivation levels, one is a prodigy and the other even more so. Over time, Feng Jun will eventually catch up to Yi Jue’s cultivation level, possibly even surpass it.
Will they form a Daoist couple? It’s very likely. If Feng Jun were just a prodigy, that wouldn’t be a big deal. There are many prodigies who perished in the Tianqin Realm. However, considering that at least a late Divine Spirit powerhouse is watching over him, the chances of him perishing are not high.
The Emergence Stage has a lifespan of 6,000 years, and Yi Jue is only about 400 years older than Feng Jun. For an Emergence Stage cultivator, what’s a mere 400 years?
A woman older by 3,000 years might not achieve immortality, but Feng Jun catching up to Yi Jue’s cultivation level during the Emergence Stage is very possible.
Thus, he took another look at the Sun-Mirroring Glass, deliberately ignoring the aura on it, then replied in a deep voice, "This item... is difficult to repair. I’m not confident at all in undertaking it, and even if my Grand Master gives it a try, it would be very challenging."
Even his Divine Spirit Stage Grand Master wouldn’t be confident, but they are on the Artifact Refining Path, so such discouraging words can’t be spoken.
"No rush," Yi Jue replied with a smile, "We need this item to hunt down the culprits. Once the Insect World is conquered, we can slowly study it when we return. We can afford to wait... Can you roughly estimate the cost?"
"For such a treasure, how can the cost be calculated?" Han Yi True Sage smiled helplessly, "But don’t worry, gaining insights from this treasure will greatly benefit our Artifact Refining Path, and if it’s our own treasure, the Artifact Refining Path would provide it freely."
"Since that’s the case, then thank you, True Sage," Yi Jue wasn’t polite, cupping her hands in gratitude, "Anything else you wish to instruct?"
"Haha, taking advantage and leaving," Han Yi True Sage chuckled. After living for thousands of years, how could he not understand this?
Then he waved his hand, "Off you go."
Feng Jun and Yi Jue went to the Big Planet to handle the various needs of all parties. What needed to be taken to the portal was taken, and for those who had to return after turning in ores, the two schools would dispatch them.
Then they went to look at the Luan Jiu Galaxy and found that the three True Sages were happily ambushing with their cultivators, and inevitably shared news from the front lines for their reference—many loose ends couldn’t be hidden anymore, so there was no need to overly restrain ourselves here.
Luan Xiong True Sage expressed that this galaxy was almost cleared. Next, they would sweep through other galaxies, and Feng Jun needed to visit often.
Feng Jun thought for a moment and honestly suggested, "I recommend thoroughly digesting this galaxy first. Who knows if another wave of teleporting insects might arrive?"
"This galaxy has no value anymore," Luan Xiong straightforwardly stated, "It’s enough to kill all the insects and tear down the temple... Didn’t you previously suggest engaging in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines?"
"You fighting guerrilla battles alone wouldn’t be an issue since you could always leave when encountering problems," Feng Jun explained with a smile, "But now, with so many Nascent Souls and Golden Cores around you, it’s not so easy to just leave."
"So now the Nascent Souls are all burdens," someone chuckled lightly, which was the Xuanshui Sect’s Nascent Soul True Immortal, "Great Sage, go ahead. Even if the Insect Race teleports, what can they do to us?"
Though the Xuanshui Sect isn’t particularly showy, it can’t be helped... Xuanshui Sect has a good relationship with Feng Jun, and their strongest combatant, Han Hai True Sage, is here, so they naturally speak with confidence.
"He’s the one wanting to go," Wei Sancai chimed in, as it’s daily routine for family True Sages and sect True Sages not to get along, "I think there’s potential for mining in this galaxy."
Tuotuo True Sage also stated, "We attacked this spot very smoothly, and I think it’s better to manage it seriously."
Tuotuo True Sage’s real name is Jiu Si, which means his words are not without basis.
"Exactly," Wei Sancai supported the notion, "I’ve checked; the resources here are extremely abundant. We can start mining first!"
Ultimately, killing the bugs is just the first step; the corpses of the bugs are a significant part of the harvest. However, Wei Sancai is a True Sage of the clan, opening territories is certainly good, but fully digesting the resources of the occupied areas is also something to strive for.
Ultimately, clan True Sages are somewhat weaker compared to sect True Sages, less composed, more inclined to seek practical benefits.
But such matters cannot be generalized with one statement. Tuotuo is also a sect True Sage and is willing to pursue practical benefits—finding mineral deposits in already conquered areas carries much less risk.
However, is Luan Xiong really foolish enough to drag a group of burdens into guerilla warfare behind enemy lines?
Those who think this way truly underestimate Luan Xiong True Sage. He hesitated a moment before speaking, "Then let’s cultivate this galaxy deeply. I’m also supportive; if you take a bunch of junior cultivators out to fight, it’s easy to talk when you win, but if you lose, who takes the blame?"
In the end, he stated, "But my people from Jinwu Sect, too few have come to the Insect World...feels like no one is cooperating with me."
Feng Jun couldn’t help but laugh, "So you want me to help bring more people?"
"Bringing people or not is irrelevant," Luan Xiong expressed deeply, "I just enjoy exploring unknown worlds."
Feng Jun thought for a moment and then said, "Then next time, I’ll invite You Xuan True Sage to join us in the exploration. How does that sound to you?"
Can you be any more nauseating? Luan Xiong greatly resents You Xuan. Not to mention, just the matter with Wan Qing, he cannot forgive You Xuan—will the Jinwu Subordinates be so trampled?
The account with Wan Qing was eventually settled, but it was Xuanshui Sect’s Han Hai True Sage who had to intervene, wasn’t it?
True, You Xuan went along too, but they are all True Sages. In this situation, who exerted more effort and who exerted less? Who doesn’t understand?
So Luan Xiong True Sage smiled and nodded, "You Xuan, yes, call him over. Just right, I’m hot-tempered, and it’s good for him to oversee the overall situation."
Is this something a Great Sage should say to us junior cultivators? Feng Jun was quite speechless, "Alright, let’s not mention him anymore. Actually, I think...there are quite a few Nascent Souls from Jinwu who have come to the Insect World."
"There are many more who haven’t come," Luan Xiong True Sage replied with a smile, "And a large number of Golden Cores haven’t come; this is a waste of resources. Only with more Golden Cores can we better develop the galaxy. If you want me to stay here without leaving, you must give me something to care about."
Feng Jun thought for a moment and responded solemnly, "True Sage, you’ve named this place Luan Jiu Galaxy. If I bring more Jinwu disciples, I’m afraid I’d have to consult the True Sages of the two sects first."
Luan Xiong True Sage nodded, "That’s exactly my intention. You go and ask."
Your intention? Feng Jun furrowed his brow, unclear about what this meant, but Wei Sancai didn’t care and snorted, "It’s just dissatisfaction watching others mine in your named galaxy; should it all be yours just because you arrived first?"
When she said this, Feng Jun understood why Luan Xiong had this attitude, and at the same time, Luan Xiong also spoke up to refute, "First come, first served should be followed, or does the latter arrival have reason?"
"If you admitted this earlier, I would have gone exploring elsewhere," Wei Sancai coldly snorted, "Obviously, exploring Otherworld requires human cultivators to join hands. Since you’re thinking this much, then we should each fight on our own!"
"It’s you who’s talking too much," Luan Xiong raised his eyebrows, expressing unhappily, "Even if cultivators join hands against the enemy, it’s not like anything discovered by others can be excavated by anyone."
"Stop fighting," Feng Jun shook his head, "I ask Xiao Tong True Sage to come and judge, how do you see it?"
The three True Sages nodded together, "Indeed, that’s appropriate," Tuotuo True Sage even said, "It’s time we had some rules then."
Xiao Tong True Sage replaced Fisherman to arrive at the frontline, invited here by Feng Jun, making it very convenient.
In fact, even Xiao Tong True Sage thinks it’s necessary to establish some rules for sharing now.
However, since we’re talking about sharing, Feng Jun’s presence, like a glitch, really makes Xiao Tong True Sage scratch his head. He hopes others would take the channels when entering and leaving the Insect World.
Everyone else expressed that this is as it should be. Wei Sancai spoke more clearly, "If you had said so earlier, the juniors of the Wei Family would have signed up long ago. But you insist on blocking and not letting clan practitioners participate."
"That’s not true," Xiao Tong True Sage outright denied, on the Tianqin Plane, "not arbitrarily discriminating against clan practitioners" is also politically correct, at least not talked about arbitrarily in formal occasions.
"We were concerned about unknown risks and explored ahead to prevent clan practitioners from encountering accidents and then irrationally accusing us."
Wei Sancai asked with interest, "So, clan practitioners can enter now?"
Seeing Xiao Tong True Sage nod, he laughed, "It seems like you can’t hold up anymore."
