Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Chu Yuan realized that this job really had to be done by Lao Zhang;

Centuries have passed, and the Qin Dynasty has essentially achieved universal cultivation of immortality, with various hidden treasures being discovered and embarking on the path it envisioned...

Of course, because he had placed a time acceleration barrier over the Qin territory, not much time had passed outside.

However, no Starry Sky Sovereign level beings can be present within the Time Acceleration Barrier, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand the consumption... Therefore, Chu Yuan and Si Mo were not within the Great Qin territory, but outside.

Once he realized that everything was on track, he put away the clock and stopped the acceleration of time.

There's still a long way to go before things get better;

To prevent the Qin cultivators from becoming arrogant again, Chu Yuan issued another order: all cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage must respond to the human race's call to go to the front lines.

Besides stabilizing the situation, another reason for this move was to allow the traces of cultivators to spread throughout the universe.

The philosophy of immortality is spread layer by layer...

However, this is destined to be a long process, and we won't see any results in the short term.

After spending a few days with his family, Chu Yuan prepared to set off again.

As for the destination... it's naturally still the fourth battlefield in the universe;

His duty to guard the area remained, and wherever he stayed was a form of cultivation.

But a sudden cry for help caused him to change his plans again...

[Chu Yuan, save me...]

The sender was Feichen, the sequencer from the Taiji Star Region whom she met during her first training in the Magic Flower Star Region;

It once pulled him back from the brink of being swallowed up by the will of the universe...

Chu Yuan replied to the message, but received no reply for a long time;

He frowned slightly, using the Reverse Fate Divine Technique to calculate Fei Chen's location...

......

"Feichen, why aren't you going to the task I assigned you?"

In the dimly lit hall, Fei Chen knelt prostrate at the foot of the steps.

"Master, please forgive me, I have recently gained some insights! I have become engrossed in cultivation, and thus have neglected my time..."

"So... I thought I couldn't command you anymore." A sinister voice rang out, tinged with mockery, like a pair of cold, dead hands enveloping Fei Chen's heart.

"Disciple...disciple will depart immediately!"

Go now, do not delay;

Otherwise, don't blame me for punishing you.

"yes......."

Feichen left the main hall, looked up at the dim sky, and felt bitter.

The teacher has a problem...

Ten thousand years ago, the universe underwent a dramatic change, and the teacher went into seclusion to cultivate.

Then, somehow he found some fortuitous opportunity and rose to the position of Starry Sky Ruler...

The teacher changed after that;

It became something unfamiliar and frightening to Feichen.

He vividly remembers that before seeking that opportunity, his teacher jokingly told him, "If I succeed this time, you fellow disciples will also rise in status."

But after being promoted to Dominator, the teacher seemed to become a completely different person;

The teacher didn't care about the lives of his disciples at all, and often assigned them tasks that were almost certain to lead to their deaths!

For example, this time, the teacher ordered him to go to a nearby strange territory to eliminate a planet that was raising living beings;

The mysterious creatures stationed on the planet are of unknown strength and number... and crucially, their location is in a very deep place.

Even for martial artists at the Origin Realm, going on a mission is a near-certain death;

Besides, he is only at the Dao Transformation Realm at this time.

"Feichen, what are you standing there for?!" A reprimand rang out, and Feichen saw someone walking towards him;

He bowed and said, "Senior Brother, I have just paid my respects to our teacher."

"Oh? Why did the teacher call you?"

"Heading to cleanse the strange phenomena of the Muro system and rescue its inhabitants..."

"Didn't I tell you to carry out this mission a while ago? Why haven't you set off yet?"

Feichen reiterated her previous explanation: "I've recently had some insights and have become engrossed in seclusion..."

"Heh... as long as you don't cheat or shirk responsibility, that's fine." The eldest brother sneered, then waved his hand and said, "Go."

"yes......"

Watching her senior brother enter the palace, Fei Chen felt a chill run down her spine. Her senior brother had changed too...

In the past, the eldest brother always protected them and never hesitated to help them whenever they encountered difficulties.

But ever since I went on a mission to a strange territory with my teacher... everything changed!

Feichen secretly harbored a terrifying suspicion.

Could the eldest brother, or even the teacher... have been possessed by something strange?

But what if I possess the body of a star ruler?

How is that possible...?

Furthermore, this war zone is not only home to the teacher as a Star Lord. If the teacher is truly possessed by a strange entity, how could the other human Lords not have noticed?

Is the ruler's insight not as good as his?

He had no way to express his grievances; reporting the teacher... that would be suicide.

To slander a Star Ruler will not only result in his death, but also implicate his entire race!

Finally, he remembered Chu Yuan;

This was his old friend, who had once shared the same realm and experienced life and death with him, yet had ascended to the position of Starry Sky Ruler at an incredible speed ten thousand years ago...

[Chu Yuan, save me...]

......

Rota Star, a spatial rift has appeared;

A figure emerged from it, with a small animal perched on its shoulder;

Immediately, a storm of divine sense spread, instantly enveloping the entire planet! A careful search...

A furious shout suddenly rang out: "Insolence!"

Immediately, a giant hand materialized and slammed down from below!

"Lord of Nightmare Time! Where is Fei Chen!?" Chu Yuan asked sharply, crushing the giant hand with a single kick.

Just a day ago, he recalculated the results of the Reverse Fate Divine Art, and Fei Chen was clearly right here... but now he can't find her?

According to information from the spiritual realm, there is a newly promoted Starry Sky Ruler in this place;

He was the Lord of Nightmare Time, and also Fei Chen's teacher...

Logically speaking, Chu Yuan should have been more polite to him;

But when Fei Chen was still on Rota Star, she sent him a message asking for help... Why didn't he ask his teacher for help?

Is it possible that in this secondary war zone, someone would dare to defy the will of a ruler?

This only shows that the danger Fei Chen encountered, even if it didn't come from him, is most likely related to him!

Since that's the case, why be so polite?

The Lord of Nightmare Time did not answer Chu Yuan's question, but instead angrily rebuked him: "Who are you?! How dare you speak to me like this in this place... *gulp*"

Upon seeing Chu Yuan unexpectedly, the Lord of Nightmare Time couldn't help but swallow hard.

Meeting that familiar, burning gaze, what else could Chu Yuan not understand at this moment?

He gave the Lord of Nightmare Time a disgusted look: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

This trip is for rescuing people; as for everything else... we'll talk about it later.

Even if it doesn't take him too much effort to deal with the Lord of Nightmare Time, what if he's just a little bit short of time?

A spatial rift opened, and Chu Yuan walked into it;

The Lord of Nightmare shouted sternly, "Wait! You can't leave!"

In the void, shadows wriggled, trying to envelop Chu Yuan;

A soul-shaking impact erupted from the Samsara Eye between Si Mo's brows, crashing into the target with overwhelming force.

"I told you I'd settle the score with you when I get back! Are you deaf?"

"..."
