Chapter 300: Chapter 298: Invitation
"I beg Saint Master Xu to save my life!" Chen Jugen knelt down, his footsteps faltering, his expression filled with a longing for life.
"Although you are weak both inside and out, you do not bear the signs of imminent death. Tell me what’s going on." Xu Feng became interested.
"Ever since I advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm, the ’Myriad Child Divine Technique’ has undergone a slight abnormality."
"I suspect it may be related to that world back then."
"After coming out of that world, every child born depletes a great amount of my Immortal Soul and Origin Power." 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
"Moreover, as the children grow, I find that the origin of my life is rapidly depleting." Chen Jugen’s expression grew more pained as he spoke.
"Give me a drop of your essence blood." Xu Feng helped Chen Jugen up and said.
"Thank you, Saint Master Xu!"
Chen Jugen hurriedly took a drop of his most quintessential heart’s blood, which made his complexion even paler.
"Ordinary essence blood would suffice."
Xu Feng took out a Dao Crystal, crushed it into Dao Origin, and placed the essence blood into it.
As the color of the Dao Origin changed, Xu Feng’s face showed a look of suspicion.
"It shouldn’t be, it’s all tied to karma."
"Among your children, are there any who are unusually different? I feel it might be a reincarnation of an external demon."
"And there’s more than one..."
After finishing his words, Xu Feng sized up Chen Jugen again.
"I have consulted an Immortal Emperor who is adept in the Dao of Karma, and there were no abnormalities."
"If it’s not karma, then it must be a curse." Xu Feng said, looking at an area of the Dao Origin flickering with a strange color.
"Fortunately, I still have backups of the Holy Pills I refined previously."
Xu Feng handed over two Holy Pills to Chen Jugen.
"One to clear the curse, and one to restore and consolidate the foundation."
"By the way, how many children do you have now?" Xu Feng curiously asked.
"Thanks to the elixirs of Saint Master Xu, I currently have 12,672 direct descendants," Chen Jugen replied respectfully, his heart once again filled with gratitude for his cousin.
If it were not for his cousin’s connection with Saint Master Xu, he would not even be able to enter the front gate.
"Impressive, raising so many children must be quite costly, right?" Xu Feng curiously asked.
"It’s manageable. After the children are born, regardless of legitimacy, they are all sent to the academy run by our family at the age of six; the resources are just about sufficient," Chen Jugen said, a trace of bitterness flashing in his eyes.
In terms of resources, his own children could only receive the most basic.
"Keep trying hard, you will have even more children in the future."
After Chen Jugen left, Xu Feng asked Xiao Hei to bring up the interface of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan’s Communication Immortal Device.
"Why hasn’t the fish bitten yet..." Xu Feng said leisurely, looking at the message he had sent.
After half a month of continuous Holy Pill refinement, memories of his previous life as an office worker were invoked, and it felt quite unpleasant.
At that moment, Xiao Hei’s voice suddenly rang out.
"Master, the Divine Feather Clan has sent an invitation for you to attend a lecture by their top Alchemist."
"Moreover, they revealed that their clan has a Divine Level Alchemist outside the Starry Sky Ancient Road lecturing on Dao projections."
Hearing about a Divine Level Alchemist, Xu Feng’s eyes lit up.
"What do you think is the purpose of the Divine Feather Clan’s invitation?" Xu Feng asked.
"It might be related to something beyond the Starry Sky Ancient Road," Xiao Hei said.
"When is it? Going out for a stroll might not be a bad idea."
Xu Feng going out refers to his Divine Thought Avatar, coupled with a Second Realm Divine Beast, Taixu Qilin. Even if they encounter a peak Second Realm powerhouse,
all it takes is a moment of protection from the Taixu Qilin for him to self-destruct his Divine Thought Avatar and return.
Thinking this way, Xu Feng became interested and soon found the Saint Master.
"Saint Master Xu, if you wish to participate, go ahead, but it’s best to leave your real body within the Human Clan Territory," Xiao Junyi suggested after pondering.
"That’s exactly what I intend," Xu Feng nodded.
In Taichu Sacred Land, atop Alchemy Peak, Xu Feng and two other Saint Level Alchemists met.
"The Divine Feather Clan must have sent invitations to all Saint Level Alchemists in the Kunxu Realm."
"I wonder how many will attend," Meng Yan remarked.
"There should be at least a thousand," Shi Shengchuan said.
"We’ll see when we get there; there’s still half a year until their conference. Do you want to take my Spirit Boat and go slowly to the Divine Feather Clan?" Xu Feng suggested, reminiscent of road trips from his past life.
"Old Meng, you go. I’ll stay here to watch over this place," Sheng Shichuan thought for a moment and said.
"Come along, one less won’t make much difference," Meng Yan gave Shi Shengchuan a pointed look.
"With Xiao Xu here, from the Divine Feather Clan Territory to here, it would take no more than half an hour," Xu Feng also persuaded.
This grand assembly convened by the Divine Feather Clan was backed by several top clans in the Kunxu Realm, including participation from the Heavenly Mechanism Clan.
"I’ll still not go, instead of that, I’d rather focus on studying the sixth volume of the Alchemy Great Scripture of Saint Master Xu," Shi Shengchuan said.
"Just admit you’re lazy. No need for so many excuses. When Saint Master Xu understands it and comes back, he can explain it to you."
Three days later, a Spirit Treasure Level Spirit Boat rose from Taichu Sacred Land like a giant whale and flew towards the Heavenly Domain.
Xu Feng stood on the deck, feeling much like he was on a vacation.
On this Spirit Boat with Xu Feng were nearly half of the Saint Level Alchemists from the Human Clan, and additionally, ten Immortal Emperors.
The Spirit Treasure Battleship accelerated, eventually tearing through space and teleporting into the Heavenly Domain.
Gazing at the stars filling the sky, Xu Feng, suddenly intrigued, asked a nearby Immortal Emperor.
"I heard that within the Immortal Domain are various continents and stars, rich in Divine Ore Spiritual Items."
"Does our Human Clan have fleets mining these resources in the Heavenly Domain?"
He asked an Immortal Monarch from Taichu Sacred Land, who was one of the oldest.
"Saint Master Xu, when we first entered the Kunxu Realm, the Human Clan sent several fleets to mine Divine Ore and other Spiritual Items in the Heavenly Domain."
"However, before reaching the core zone, they were driven out by fleets from other major clans."
"The outer periphery of the Heavenly Domain, where we are now, doesn’t have good resources, not even comparable to directly exploiting the Human Clan Territory," the Immortal Emperor respectfully advised, but his gaze was fixed on the depths of the Heavenly Domain.
When the Human Clan had the Source Realm, they had hundreds of fleets delving into the Star Domain to mine various resources.
In that realm, the Human Clan was at its peak, but in the Kunxu Realm, the Human Clan didn’t even qualify to enter the core region of the Heavenly Domain.
"What sort of equipment do other fleets have, that they can drive away our Human Clan fleets?" Xu Feng frowned slightly.
"Typically, six Innate Level Spirit Treasure Battleships, plus Second Realm powerhouses in control."
"The stronger flagship is of Innate Treasure Level."
"That’s why we were pushed back as soon as we met them."
"I see, one day our Human Clan will eventually enter the core area of the Heavenly Domain."
As Xu Feng and the other talked, the Taixu Qilin suddenly communicated telepathically.
"Master, a fleet is flying towards us at high speed; the surrounding space is locked, but I can break through."
"Any Second Realm powerhouses?"
"None."
"Then what’s there to fear?"
