CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 332 DI XU RETURNS! [6TH UPDATE, REQUEST FOR MONTHLY PASS!]

"Such determination."

"But don’t underestimate our opponents."

"The ’Dual-element Immortal Spider’ is cunning beyond measure. Heaven Realm cultivators alone are not enough to capture it. No need to worry."

"You’ve all stayed on Wuhe Star for too long and have yet to encounter Divinity Transformation cultivators from the starry skies. This time, go to ’Xuanying Star,’ spar with some sky wanderers, and broaden your horizons."

Chen Jichuan quickly made arrangements.

Over two hundred years ago, near Magic Sound Mountain, he annihilated the entire Taiyin Sect, which included the likes of Hee Lengchan, a peak Heaven Realm cultivator.

Now, though Di Xu and his group seem imposing, they pose no real threat.

Chen Jichuan could destroy them with a flip of his hand.

The only reason he summoned Huang Quan, Zhang Hee, and others was to let these "frog-at-the-bottom-of-the-well" disciples gain some experience, curbing their arrogance.

Having set things in motion, he led all twenty-seven Divinity Transformation cultivators out of Wuhe Star, heading straight for Xuanying Star.

...

Xuanying Star wasn’t far from Wuhe Star. With the ’Universe Spirit Shuttle,’ it was merely a two-hour journey.

Even so, the distance spanned over 8.6 billion miles.

In the past two centuries, Chen Jichuan had renovated numerous cities on Wuhe Star, layering them with formations. The cities were linked, and True Persons presided over the central array, allowing them to form a ’Small Sumeru Right and Left Nine Palace Immortal Formation,’ capable of holding off three to five Divinity Transformations for a day or two.

Thus, even with all of Wuhe Immortal Sect’s Divinity Transformations leaving, there wouldn’t be a significant issue in the short term.

Chen Jichuan drove the ’Five Thunders Hurricane Mother Car,’ carrying Huang Quan, Xiao Lan, Zhang Hee, and the other twenty-seven Divinity Transformations to Xuanying Star.

As Zhang Hee and the others watched stars retreat rapidly behind them, the thought of facing a group of Divinity Transformation cultivators filled them with a mix of apprehension and fervent excitement.

Huang Quan was also eagerly anticipating it.

For the past two centuries, he’d diligently cultivated, aided by various pills and his master’s guidance, progressing significantly.

He was now at the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

But it wasn’t just his cultivation.

His proficiency in magic was even more notable, mastering three super-level techniques for offense, defense, and escape. With the ’Golden Light Sword’ and ’Smoke Cloud Armor,’ two third-order magical treasures in hand, he’d been itching for a challenge.

Sparring with his master always ended in brutal defeat.

Sparring with Xiao Lan ended in the same.

Sparring with Zhang Hee and others... they couldn’t withstand much; it was boring.

He couldn’t find an evenly matched opponent on Wuhe Star.

So he was eagerly awaiting this battle.

By contrast, Xiao Lan was far more composed.

Having experienced numerous dangers and battles outside, these upcoming challenges didn’t faze her like they did the greenhorns.

Compared to the impending combat,

what surprised her more was seeing how Chen Jichuan personally trained a wave of Divinity Transformations—rare even across the starry skies. Under his hand, they seemed to spring up on Wuhe Star as if they were free.

This left Xiao Lan astonished.

And increasingly curious about Chen Jichuan.

She had stayed on Wuhe Star all these years partly for this reason.

With Chen Jichuan overseeing things and Divinity Transformations emerging regularly, only two hundred years had passed so far. What would Wuhe Star become in another two hundred or even two thousand years?!

"The strength of one person is limited."

"With Wuhe Star as a stronghold, pursuing the Immortal Dao in the future will be much easier."

"Especially Xu Ning!"

Xiao Lan harbored private thoughts, silently drawing closer to Chen Jichuan over the years.

...

On the ’Five Thunders Hurricane Mother Car,’ the twenty-seven cultivators had varying thoughts.

Chen Jichuan didn’t think too much about them.

Driving this fourth-order magical treasure, its speed was pushed to the extreme, rivalling the best Star River Walking techniques at seven times the speed of light.

This equaled the speed of the ’Golden Light Walking’ he’d once witnessed in the Four Directions Sect.

However, while Golden Light Walking’s peak was at seven times the speed of light, the ’Five Thunders Hurricane Mother Car’ was limited by Chen Jichuan’s current cultivation.

As he advanced further, the speed would only grow.

Eventually, it could even reach ten times the speed of light, no less impressive than the genuine ’Golden Light Immortal Fox.’

This was a supreme treasure of the Sumeru Immortal Sect, undoubtedly extraordinary.

Using the ’Five Thunders Hurricane Mother Car,’ a journey of two hours with the ’Universe Spirit Shuttle’ was halved, bringing them to their destination in little over half an hour.

Xuanying Star was now in sight.

...

"Dual-element Immortal Spider!"

"I hadn’t expected such an unexpected reward on this trip!"

Standing outside Xuanying Star, Lang Jian’s eyes lit up with surprise. He gazed at the faint layer of ’Dual-element Five-element Miasma’ shrouding the planet and turned to a middle-aged man in blue beside him. Laughing heartily, he said, "Brother Di truly is a blessing to us. Not only has he offered up a life-bearing planet like Wuhe Star upon joining our ’Milo Sect,’ but along the way, we’ve also stumbled upon such a rare beast as the ’Dual-element Immortal Spider’! This counts as another merit for Brother Di on this trip!"

Milo Sect.

Lang Jian.

This was a local power in Zone 9 of the Jiulong River System, within the Magic Sound Mountain region, somewhat akin to the former Taiyin Sect.

Their experts were fewer than the Taiyin Sect’s.

But they boasted superior numbers.

Six hundred years prior,

Di Xu had fled Wuhe Star in disgrace, spending over two centuries recovering from his injuries. Wandering the starry skies, he’d stumbled upon a hidden abode and unearthed a star map of Zone 9, prompting him to head toward Magic Sound Mountain.

Before entering Magic Sound Mountain, he’d been roped in by the Milo Sect.

Unable to defeat them or escape,

he leveraged his silver tongue to join the Milo Sect. Furthermore, he disclosed the existence of Wuhe Star to its members.

At first, the Milo Sect found Wuhe Star too distant from the Magic Sound Mountain region and didn’t fully trust Di Xu, so they hesitated to act.

Not until over twenty years ago,

when chaos erupted in Magic Sound Mountain, did they decide to shift their focus to Wuhe Star to avoid trouble.

They set out in great numbers.

Unexpectedly, before even reaching Wuhe Star, they encountered a ’Dual-element Immortal Spider’ instead!

"Brother Di dares not take credit; it’s all thanks to the Sect Leader’s fortune!"

In the Milo Sect, where he held the lowest seniority and weakest cultivation, Di Xu always remained humble.

"Brother Di is too modest."

Lang Jian squinted with a smile but didn’t speak further with Di Xu. Instead, he gestured to three others and instructed, "You three, join forces and break through the ’Dual-element Five-element Miasma.’ Enter the star and understand the situation. Try to collect some ’Five Minerals Essence’ without alarming the ’Dual-element Immortal Spider.’"

"Rest assured, Sect Leader!"

Three cultivators stepped forward, each summoning four shields and combining them into twelve that enveloped them like a spherical turtle shell.

Rumbling!

They spun and plunged toward Xuanying Star.

Having taken root in Xuanying Star for only a short time, the Dual-element Immortal Spider’s miasma layer was still thin.

In the past, Chen Jichuan had stormed a Dual Star using the ’Nine Peak Palace’ and had still been severely wounded, needing over four years to recover.

But that Dual Star had been the spider’s domain for two millennia.

Xuanying Star at this moment could hardly compare.

This time,

only three Heavenly Human Seventh Layer cultivators, armed with three ordinary third-order magical treasures, sought out weak points in the miasma and pushed through with brute force.

After a slight commotion,

they easily breached it.

Lang Jian, Di Xu, and the others waited outside with patience.

Xuanying Star was vast, and even for Divinity Transformation Venerables, its thorough investigation would be time-consuming.

In the blink of an eye,

three days passed.

On this day,

Lang Jian, Di Xu, and the other eight Divinity Transformations continued waiting.

Suddenly.

Whoosh!

The nearby cosmic void stirred, and twenty-eight figures abruptly descended, encircling them in an instant.

"Who are you?!"

Lang Jian and the others were startled.

The newcomers arrived too swiftly, leaving them no time to react before they’d been surrounded.

At first, they were alarmed.

Then, glancing around, their faces and hearts grew increasingly uneasy. "Twenty-five newly-proclaimed Divinity Transformations?!"

Given their cultivation, Lang Jian and the others could easily discern that among the unexpected arrivals, only three were worth attention, whereas the remaining twenty-five were merely First or Second Layer Heavenly Human cultivators.

On a planet, they might be hailed as Patriarchs, Ancestors, or Venerables.

But in the vast starry cosmos, within the Divinity Transformation Realm, they were nothing but rookies.

Though they seemed numerous, the true threat was limited.

Even so, unleashing twenty-five new Divinity Transformations at once—and producing that many within just one or two centuries—spoke of an extraordinary origin!

"Stay alert!"

Lang Jian secretly cautioned his companions.

At the same time, his eyes scanned the distance, seeking any hidden Divinity Transformation experts who might be lying in wait.

He also scrutinized the three apparent leaders.

His gaze particularly settled on a yellow-robed woman, seemingly the most powerful among the newcomers.

Just as he was about to speak, however, Di Xu’s expression changed abruptly, and he interjected first—

"Xu Ning!"

"It’s you?!"

Di Xu recognized one of the newcomers, his face contorted with hatred and shock.

Among the twenty-eight, he spotted a familiar face: Xu Ning, one of the three original Human Divinity Transformations of Wuhe Star who, alongside Zhenwu and Galaxy, had nearly killed him years ago in the East Sea.

Back then, Wuhe Star had only three Divinity Transformations.

How could so many have emerged in such a short time?

"Could Wuhe Star have aligned with some major power?"

Di Xu’s heart sank.

"Brother Di, do you know them?"

Lang Jian glanced inquisitively at Di Xu.

"Replying to Sect Leader, this man is Xu Ning, one of the three original Human Divinity Transformations of Wuhe Star, quite capable."

"As for the others, I don’t know them."

Di Xu swept his gaze around, recognizing only Xu Ning.

"Xu Ning."

Lang Jian nodded and looked towards Xu Ning, greeting aloud, "Sir—"

"Attack!"

Lang Jian had barely uttered two words before being interrupted sharply.

It was Chen Jichuan.

With Lang Jian and Di Xu arriving with ill intentions, Chen Jichuan had led Wuhe Immortal Sect’s cultivators equally prepared for battle.

He had no patience for idle chatter. Since hostility was apparent on both sides, there was no reason to waste any words.

Without waiting for Lang Jian to finish, he barked an order, urging Huang Quan and the others to strike first!

"Yes!"

At Chen Jichuan’s command, Huang Quan and the others responded in unison.

Clang!

Huang Quan wielded the Golden Light Sword, his Sword Qi surging as he charged toward Di Xu.

Though only Fourth Layer Heavenly Human, armed with fine treasures and techniques, he knew he couldn’t directly contend with a Late Stage Heavenly Human cultivator.

His objective was simple: to tie down one Sixth Layer cultivator.

Recognizing Di Xu as the former "East Sea Dragon King" of Wuhe Star, Huang Quan immediately targeted him.

"Kill!"

Before Huang Quan could strike, Xiao Lan had already made her move.

This Fairy Lan sent forth her ’Fire Rhinoceros Sword,’ aiming directly at the Milo Sect’s leader, Lang Jian, the cultivator with the highest cultivation among them.

Huang Quan and Xiao Lan each fixed on one opponent.

Meanwhile, three Milo Sect members remained inside Xuanying Star.

Leaving only six outside.

"Three Sixth Layers."

"Three Seventh Layers."

With Zhang Hee leading the charge, eight Divinity Transformation cultivators wielded Immortal Flags to entangle the three Heavenly Human Seventh Layers.

The remaining seventeen Divinity Transformation cultivators grouped to surround the three Sixth Layers.

Outside Xuanying Star.

The battle erupted fiercely!
