From star gatherer to leader of humanity

On a shattered celestial body, Xu Hun's unique spiritual technique, the Soul Chain, connects a giant, dark blue tiger, with the other end connecting Xu Hun, the Jade Centipede, and the Xuan Iron Giant Tiger.

Xu Bai thought he could win easily, but he waited in this calm battlefield for nearly 10 hours.

Just as Xu Bai was about to use his divine sense to enter the Soul Chain Battlefield to find out what was going on, Xu Hun, Jade Centipede, and Xuan Tie Giant Tiger awoke, but the three of them seemed to be in a strange state.

The soul bodies that had been transformed into soul soldiers were broken, and the soul cores were elusive. Xu Bai knew without even using his senses that the three of them were in extremely poor condition.

Xu Bai formed hand seals and unleashed three Soul Nourishing Techniques, stabilizing their condition.

"Master, mission accomplished, Moon Soul Tiger captured."

Xu Hun gently pulled out the soul chain, and a remnant soul of a sealed Moon Soul Tiger appeared in front of Xu Bai. Even though the Moon Soul Tiger was sealed, it still roared at Xu Bai, its eyes revealing a resolute determination to die rather than submit.

"You three Golden Core Soul Cultivators, in your strongest area, are actually no match for the soul of this Moon Soul Tiger." Xu Bai looked at Xu Yuan with some curiosity on his face.

Xu Hun once boasted that he could deal with Nascent Soul stage star beasts.

"Master, the Moon Soul Tiger's soul is exceptionally powerful, comparable to a Nascent Soul beast in the soul space. Moreover, the Moon Soul Tiger's innate divine power is also related to the soul, which is why the three of us are having such a difficult time fighting it out," Xu Hun hurriedly explained, while the Jade Centipede and the Xuan Iron Giant Tiger nodded vigorously beside him.

"I see. Well, you'll be adding a great general to your team now."

Xu Bai formed hand seals and attempted to use the Soul Absorption Technique, but the technique failed when it landed on the Moon Soul Tiger's soul.

"Master, the Moon Soul Tiger is only barely suppressed now. After being dragged into the Myriad Soul Banner, it will take a lot of effort to completely suppress it with the help of the Myriad Soul Banner. Your Soul Absorption Technique cannot shake it at the moment," Xu Hun said tactfully.

"I'm just giving it a try~"

Xu Bai used the Soul Absorption Technique again, and this time, the spiritual light of the Soul Absorption Technique fell on the Moon Soul Tiger and took effect, but it was still dissipated after the Moon Soul Tiger struggled for a while.

"Don't collect the Myriad Souls Banner yet. Let me practice with the Soul Absorption Technique."

Another beam of Soul Absorption Technique descended, and this time the Moon Soul Tiger seemed to give up struggling. Its incomplete soul began to repair itself, and sensing this, the Moon Soul Tiger bowed its head to Xu Bai.

"My soul-gathering technique is not bad either..."

Xu Bai then used a Soul Brightening Technique and a Soul Nourishing Technique on the Moon Soul Tiger's soul.

"Let's go to the Soul Path Minor Realm to recover first!"

The Moon Soul Tiger transformed into a stream of light and entered the Myriad Soul Banner.

Then Xu Bai turned his head and saw Xu Hun looking embarrassed.

"Let's go back. This trip has been quite successful. Don't waste the Moon Soul Tiger's body; take it back with you."

Xuan Guang Sect, Shattered Star Hall, Planet.

The mining artifact spaceship docked at a special unloading port, where professional equipment quickly unloaded the spiritual ore from the spaceship.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Bai looked at the mining ships around him. They were all different in shape. Some were standard mining ships of the Hundred Refinements Sect, and some were ones that Xu Bai had never seen before.

After unloading the cargo and returning to the spaceport, Xu Bai saw Li Xiong, who had received the notification.

At this moment, Li Xiong looked at Xu Bai's magical mining spaceship and rubbed his hands together with a smile.

After disembarking from the spaceship, Xu Bai took out a box from his storage bag, which contained 100 jin of Moon Soul Jade.

"Senior Brother Li, here are the ten catties of Moon Soul Jade you requested."

Xu Bai obtained a thousand catties of Moon Soul Jade from the Xuan Tie Giant Tiger. He handed over half of it and kept the rest for himself.

"Junior Brother Xu, thank you!" Li Xiong said sincerely as he took out a bag of spirit stones from his storage bag and handed it to Xu Bai.

"Moon Soul Jade costs 100 spirit stones per jin, which is equivalent to your 100,000 strands of spiritual energy. There are 1100 spirit stones in this box, and the extra is a token of our gratitude."

"I appreciate Senior Brother Li's kindness. If you come to me again to buy other spirit ores, you'll have to pay the price." Xu Bai smiled as he accepted the bag of spirit stones and put it away.

At this moment, a spherical robot flew in front of Xu Bai and projected a light screen, in which was a middle-aged man dressed in a magical robe.

"Xu Bai, I am Manager Bai, in charge of the spirit ore warehouse of the Shattered Star Hall. The spirit ore unloaded this time is very precious. I suggest you keep half and sell the other half. The half you keep will be sought after by fellow disciples from other halls and departments, mostly at prices higher than the market price."

Bai Fengyan looked at Xu Bai with a kind tone, his eyes filled with appreciation.

"Then let's do as Manager Bai says." Xu Bai looked at the price given by Bai Fengyan next to the light screen and suddenly felt that the Hundred Refinements Sect truly deserved to die.

Because the prices offered here are several times higher than those of the Hundred Refinements Sect.

Star Core Black Iron, one ton of which is worth 300,000 strands of spiritual energy in the Hundred Refinements Sect, is offered by the Shattered Star Hall for one million strands of spiritual energy.

All the collected spirit ore was sold, and this time the harvest exceeded 100 million. After selling half, there was still more than 40 million after tax, which was worth 40,000 spirit stones.

This was the first time Xu Bai felt that spirit stones were so easy to earn.

"Alright, after selling half and deducting taxes, you will receive 46,000 spirit stones, which will be directly deposited into your account. You can collect them later using your disciple token."

"As for the remaining half of the spirit ore, it can be stored in the warehouse, and only those with your authorization can take the spirit ore from the warehouse."

Bai Fengyan was about to hang up the phone after he finished speaking, but Xu Bai stopped him.

"Manager Bai, does the Shattered Star Hall really want me, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to have so many spirit stones in my hands?"

Although Xu Bai had a good impression of the Xuan Guang Sect's Shattered Star Hall and the people he had met, he remained vigilant and was always prepared to flee.

"Haha, you're not the only one asking me this question. A year ago, many of the leaders of the group of star gatherers from the 25th City of Shattered Stars asked me the same question."

"But my answer is, these spirit stones were earned by you risking your lives in the Shattered Star Sea. Once you pay this 10% tax, anyone who dares to covet the remaining spirit stones is an enemy of my Xuan Guang Sect!"

"You junior, remember this: our Xuan Guang Sect is different from those demonic sects within the human realm. We walk the path of righteousness!"

Looking at Bai Fengyan's impassioned expression on the screen, Xu Bai's expression was somewhat complicated.

He knew the brilliance of this great road, but with thirty-six immortal sects of the human race standing side by side, this road was full of thorns.

"Judging from your expression, I can tell you haven't grasped the essence. Take your time to feel it, and you'll understand in time." Bai Fengyan hung up the projected video.

"No wonder he was recruited into the Shattered Star Hall on his first try, he's gained so much!" Li Xiong said with some envy, but there was no greed in his eyes.

"It just so happens that you're here, senior brother. Please help me register this. This is the alien race I've taken in."

As Xu Bai spoke, he called Li Weiwei over from the spaceship.

"Moon Spirit Clan, Junior Brother Xu, you're quite something!"

"I'll apply for it for you right now. As long as the Moon Spirit Clan confirms the master-servant relationship, it will be approved."

After registering, Xu Bai took Li Weiwei in a small spaceship and flew towards the planet Shattered Star Hall.

As the small spaceship passed through the atmosphere, Xu Bai felt the astonishing spiritual energy, and the words Bai Fengyan had spoken came to mind again.

"This magnificent road is not easy to travel on!"
