Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Xia Jin's eyes lit up as she stared with great interest at the strange sight of the green phantom stirring up the void.

He had never seen this method of investigation before. It was not a normal divine sense scan, but rather a method of directly disrupting the void with the power of the soul, spreading outwards through void fluctuations, like throwing a stone into the water and sensing distant clues by the feedback of the ripples.

Compared to the straightforward spiritual probing of human cultivators, this method is indeed more efficient.

However, achieving this level requires an extremely high level of spiritual strength.

"No! Perhaps it's difficult for others, but with my soul strength, I might be able to do it after a few tries!"

Xia Jin's heart stirred, and she stared at the rhythm and cadence of the fluctuations, secretly memorizing them.

However, although the vengeful spirits have strong investigative abilities, finding a "corpse fetus heart" is not so easy.

Xia Jin withdrew her gaze from the green phantom and coldly glanced at the alien girl standing beside the control panel.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in control of the warship. Keep this guy exploring without interruption."

The alien girl was already trembling with fear, and was suddenly startled by Xia Jin's words.

"I...I'm going right now!!"

She trembled and quickly lowered her head to walk towards the control panel, her spiritual power surging wildly into the magic array runes.

The alien man who was singled out by Xia Jin twitched his lips violently, but ultimately dared not say anything more. He could only continue to activate the green phantom above his head, using "Netherworld Spiritual Sense" to sweep in all directions.

Although the exploration was tedious, time passed quickly.

Ten days have passed, and Xia Jin's warship has traversed an unknown distance in the desolate void of the Marang Starfield, yet still has not found any clues about the "corpse fetus heart".

As far as the eye could see, there were still those desolate and shattered remnants of stars, and not even a trace of life could be sensed.

"It seems that the Malang Star Region is indeed as rumored. We've traveled quite a bit, yet we still haven't found any living beings?" Xia Jin held a cup of tea and took a small sip.

However, he wasn't in a hurry, because he knew very well...

That thing has been searched for by the entire Corpse Clan for countless years without success, so why should I be in such a hurry?

This is just the beginning; there is plenty of time and patience.

Xia Jin wasn't in a hurry, but the alien man was already starting to look like he had no will to live.

For the past ten days, under Xia Jin's orders, he has hardly slept a wink.

The green phantom above their heads, about three feet tall, had visibly dimmed compared to the beginning, and its edges had even begun to blur slightly.

Although their lineage of vengeful spirits possesses extraordinary talent, enabling them to maintain a state of "spiritual connection with the underworld" for extended periods, they are ultimately not perpetual motion machines and require rest to alleviate the intense mental strain.

But Xia Jin didn't care about any of that. As soon as he relaxed even slightly, that cold gaze would cut over him like a knife, forcing him to grit his teeth and continue to hold on.

"You bastard... I'll remember this humiliation a hundred times over! You'd better pray you don't fall into my hands, or I'll make you wish you were dead! You'll pay for this humiliation a hundredfold!"

A surge of intense hatred flashed deep in the eyes of the foreign man, but he suppressed it fiercely, not daring to reveal it on his face.

If Xia Jin finds out, she'll definitely give him a good dressing down.

"Hold on a little longer! When I meet the clan leader and the others, that will be my chance to turn the tables!!"

"I will refine you alive into a blood pill and feed it to the lowest of the clan's corpse slaves!!"

The foreign man suddenly felt a sense of pleasure.

He hadn't told Xia Jin the whole truth before.

It's true that only three teams from their vengeful spirit lineage went to the Marang Starfield to investigate, but the team he was in was just there for a casual stroll.

This young master, who ranks third in the hierarchy, is only here to gain experience.

The real main force consists of the other two fleets.

One of them, in particular, was led by the clan leader of their vengeful spirit lineage, and included all the strongest warriors, almost encompassing most of the clan's elite warriors.

As long as we can contact the clan leader and the others in this Malang Star Region, this human cultivator is doomed!

Xia Jin had no interest in the myriad schemes in the foreign man's mind.

He leaned back leisurely on the soft chair that had been moved from somewhere behind him, glancing occasionally at the green shadow that flickered between light and shadow above the alien man's head.

He would even occasionally say something provocative to the other person.

"Your human radar is actually quite useful."

"Once we find that 'corpse fetus heart,' I will give you a chance to serve me. At that time, your treatment will be no worse than it was for your corpse clan."

Upon hearing this, the foreign man's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he almost vomited blood on the spot.

Serving?! To serve this human race?!

This bastard is blatantly insulting himself!

As the young master of the Corpse Clan's Wraith Spirit lineage, holding the prestigious third position in the hierarchy, he was still a powerful figure within this vast Wraith Spirit lineage, capable of wielding influence over multiple small worlds with a mere stomp of his foot!

He took a deep breath, but had to force a smile that looked worse than crying.

"That would be my honor!!" he replied through gritted teeth, while in his heart he cursed Xia Jin's ancestors a thousand times over.

And so, another ten days passed.

There is still no clue about the "corpse fetus heart".

The green phantom above the alien man's head had faded by a full one and a half times compared to the beginning, its outline so blurred it was almost scattering away.

But at that moment, a look of wild joy flashed across his face, which was turned away from Xia Jin!

"That's right! This young master can't be mistaken, it's the clan leader!! They're right there!"

He sensed eight warships hovering in the void eight thousand miles away.

The largest of them had the emblem of their Corpse Clan's Wraith lineage prominently displayed on its bow; it was a warship that only the clan leader was qualified to ride on!

The foreign man suppressed his excitement, his face remaining perfectly still.

But he secretly glanced at the alien girl standing in front of the control panel.

"Huai'er!"

His voice resounded in the girl's mind, "Due east, eight thousand miles away! Full speed ahead! Rendezvous with the clan leader!!"

"Once the clan leader is found, this human race is doomed!!"

The foreign girl's eyes flickered for a moment, then a look of undisguised surprise appeared on her face.

"Really? Okay!!"

She bit her lip, glanced quickly at Xia Jin behind her who was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, and then quietly flicked her finger toward the control array, pouring her spiritual power into it as if it were her life.

The next moment, a dense energy surge suddenly erupted from the stern of the warship, and its speed increased dramatically.

Just then, Xia Jin, who was comfortably leaning back in the soft chair behind her, suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"What the hell? How come this warship is suddenly more than twice as fast as before?"

He slowly opened his eyes, glanced suspiciously at the slightly stiff, slender back in front of the control panel, and then subtly glanced at the alien man who was struggling to maintain his "psychic connection".

"These two alien races seem to be planning some underhanded tactics? Could it be that they've already discovered clues to the 'Corpse Embryo Heart' ahead? Or have they run into another group from the Corpse Clan's vengeful spirit lineage?"

snort!!

A cold glint flashed in Xia Jin's eyes.

Since that's the case, then I, the king, will see... what exactly you're up to.

He did not stop the alien woman's actions, but simply closed his eyes again, and his vast divine sense surged out like a tide, spreading wildly eastward from the warship as the center.

Soon, the corners of Xia Jin's mouth turned up slightly.

Because he had also noticed the eight warships silently hovering in the void in the distance.

On the flagship in the center, an immense pressure was faintly visible.

"interesting."

"It's nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree, merely at the seventh level of the Great Power Realm!"
