Chapter 2222: Chapter 2224: What Matters Most

Swapping treasures can become addictive, whether it’s on Huaxia’s internet or in the void.

Immortal Yi Jue yearned to go to the void, and Feng Jun wanted to go too. After all, everyone has a gambling nature; if you can take a chance in the void, why not?

Feng Jun hadn’t ventured into the void before mainly because he had too many problems around him, and he simply couldn’t manage it.

Moreover, going to the void alone yielded very limited rewards—even if you find an opportunity, you might not be able to seize it. After his previous cooperation in the void with Immortal Yi Jue, he deeply understood that a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator could achieve far more in the void than someone at the Initial Golden Core Stage.

He kept pondering this issue and increasingly felt that inviting True Immortal Yi Jue was worthwhile. However, he also knew that Elder Cang Jing and Elder Qing Ji were closely monitoring, mainly considering the possibility of entering the void.

Thus, only when True Immortal Yi Jue arrived could he lead everyone into the void—a process that was absolutely necessary.

Yet, before entering the void, he had many loose ends to tie up.

The first thing he needed to consider was how the people of Luohua could survive at White Pebble Beach after his entry into the void.

The time ratio between the void and the real world was one to ten—at least for now—but even a ten to one ratio means time is passing, not stopping.

Once he entered the void, he wouldn’t be able to take care of the people on Luohua, and what if something unexpected happened?

Hence, he planned to bring everyone from Luohua to the Earth Plane before considering such actions.

Also, the people of Luohua would notify his parents that Elder Feng encountered some issues and couldn’t care for everyone temporarily.

On the Earth Plane, securing support was essential—it’s wise not to test human nature lightly.

The day after the Murong Family sent the juvenile water spirit, Feng Jun took the people of Luohua straight to Mount Zhige.

Since they were conducting mundane business, visiting Mount Zhige was normal, and there was indeed a shortage there.

Many people were watching Feng Jun’s actions, but few paid attention to Mount Zhige—after all, it was just a coordinate in the Mortal Realm.

When Feng Jun gathered the crowd, he had already alerted Immortal Yi Jue and others; even Elder Cang Jing wanted to ask questions, but Immortal Yi Jue secretly stopped him with divine sense, "When he leaves, he usually takes these people away... you should prepare to go to the void."

Thus, he brought people to Mount Zhige without attracting much attention. After sending them over, he left again, asking Sister Hong and others to help with the transportation of goods from the Mortal Realm.

When Feng Jun returned, Elder Qing Ji and Elder Cang Jing simultaneously requested him to take them to Tianqin—they had also found a spatial attribute cultivator and wanted to bring them back.

With more people involved, it’s really difficult to keep secrets. Feng Jun and Immortal Yi Jue had utilized the spatial attribute cultivator to create a dwelling in the void, which Elder Qing Ji had observed, naturally leading her to search within the sect.

Unlike Elder Yi Jue, she held real power among the Jinwu—it wasn’t hard for her to find such a cultivator.

Elder Cang Jing found out a bit late, but she happened to have a disciple who possessed this attribute. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

If she hadn’t had this disciple, she would have had to borrow someone else’s spatial cultivator, which made her very uncomfortable.

Although she was very aware that unity was crucial in the void, at her level, she preferred to keep control in her hands—even if not used, it was important to have the ability to influence key situations.

Feng Jun heard they all found spatial attribute cultivators, and couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head; these elders really were one prouder than the next.

But for him, this was a good thing. Such attribute cultivators were truly rare, and if they could prepare some themselves, it wouldn’t be too cramped for everyone to use, which was advantageous for the void expedition.

So he returned to Mount Zhige to send people back to Earth, then discussed with Immortal Yi Jue, suggesting maybe they should enter the void directly from Tianqin.

Immortal Yi Jue agreed with the suggestion, feeling that Feng Jun running back and forth to Tianqin wasn’t safe. At least if she followed, she could protect him—speaking of which, the Speculator was indeed too conspicuous.

Following this, things went smoothly. Feng Jun helped Elder Qing Ji and Elder Cang Jing gather people and then arrived at Geng Zi Yuan to deduce the situation for the Golden Core of Lingmu Sect, to see why they were stuck at the Nascent Baby Bottleneck.

This time, though, he was somewhat powerless—the root cause of the difficulty was psychological, so Feng Jun expressed, "In this situation, I’m powerless too... perhaps have him participate in fierce battles a few times, preferably getting hurt, no destruction, no construction!"

The master of the Golden Core, an Initial Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, felt this was purely a bad idea.

However, Immortal Yi Jue supported it, believing that in the absence of other solutions, it was a viable choice—as long as carefully handled, the success rate wouldn’t be low.

As for the risk, it’s certainly objectively existent, but if you wish to form a baby, what would you talk about risk?

Feng Jun gave a suggestion, how the opponent chooses is not his concern, so he led everyone to Yiyao for the final operation — handing over the secret technique of binding energy into gang to the Taixu Sect.

The person from Taixu Sect was the same one who went to Lingmu Sect with Yi Jue, and later approved the distribution plan for the Spirit Stone Mine on the Ice Plate. He was quite polite to Yi Jue.

Yi Jue handed over the Dharma of binding energy into gang, the other party cautiously collected it, indicating a need to verify it carefully when returning, but don’t worry, Immortal Yi Jue, as long as it is truly effective, the related rewards will definitely not be lacking, and as long as Gu Yue forms a baby, everything is negotiable.

As for Feng Jun’s participation in the demonstration and his cultivation of the technique, those are not problems, the sect will surely consider comprehensively — if he does not attempt to practice the technique, how can he participate in the demonstration?

The real issue is whether Feng Jun is qualified to continue transmitting this secret technique, and how many people he can pass it to, this is what needs careful consideration.

Yi Jue was quite indifferent to this, "It is said that the greater the power, the more necessary it is to prevent him from spreading the Dharma, isn’t it?"

"Indeed it is," the Elder nodded, speaking frankly, "if your modification is particularly successful, Elder Feng’s likelihood of passing down this secret technique should actually decrease. Though it’s a bit unfair, that’s indeed the reality."

"So I also want to ask you to convey a message," Yi Jue spoke solemnly, "binding energy into gang is real, Void Thunderspawn is also real, Elder Feng has already proven it in the void!"

"Hmm, this is quite... hmm?" The Elder’s eyes suddenly widened, "This secret technique... can generate thunder in the void?"

"You should go test it in the void yourselves," Yi Jue waved, "so I suggest Taixu can fully consider this technique’s practicality. Elder Feng has great interests in the void."

The Elder was dumbfounded for quite a while before coming to his senses, nodding, "This message... this message I will certainly help convey, but those old antiques in our Taixu, you know them well. I dare not promise anything, can only say I’ll try my best."

Yi Jue’s face still showed no expression, only speaking blandly, "It’s good if you can pass the message. I believe they’ll consider it carefully."

The Elder knew why she said this, aside from Feng Jun’s various eccentricities, she herself was also a great power in demonstrating the cultivation technique. He pondered for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, "I’ve heard recently, Elder Feng demonstrated something for Master Moli?"

As for Master Moli, Yi Jue previously didn’t know him. It was fortunate that when she just came out of retreat a while back, she received thanks from True Immortal Jing Quan and heard of this name.

Strictly speaking, Moli was still her senior brother, but when Yi Jue’s fame rose in Taixu Sect, countless senior brothers had long been left far behind by her. If not for Jing Quan’s gratitude, his name might never have reached her ears.

So she nodded slightly, "I have heard that Master Moli’s foundation was heavily damaged, needing peaceful recuperation."

"Indeed," the Elder nodded, "but after peaceful recuperation, he’ll become even older, and it’s a pity there are no treasures like the White Steed Tower to help him recover quickly."

Yi Jue thoughtfully glanced at him, nodding slightly, "Let Jing Quan contact me, perhaps I can provide some ideas."

The Elder of Taixu contacting True Immortal Jing Quan was much more convenient than Yi Jue. It wasn’t long before True Immortal Jing Quan directly arrived at the Yiyao Plate, "Greetings, Fairy. Thank you for giving Master Moli such an opportunity."

Being all smart people, no need for extra words, Yi Jue knew the other party must have thought of something, so she expressed, "I didn’t provide this opportunity, whether it will succeed still depends on whether Elder Feng agrees, but... there we can only use the Spirit Restoration Array."

"I understand this," True Immortal Jing Quan nodded, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I’ve heard lately, Elder Qing Ji was looking for spatial attribute earth cultivators on the Golden Crow, and got some ideas..."

"Oh," a shadow flashed, and Elder Qing Ji was already beside them, speaking with a dark face, "Jing Quan, you have quite the courage to privately inquire about my whereabouts!"

True Immortal Jing Quan wasn’t much concerned with her, of course, dared not offend, just laughed and explained, "Elder Qing Ji, calm down. It was by chance that I heard about this, and... do you think other cultivators are fools? Too many old foxes!"

Elder Qing Ji’s face grew increasingly unsightly, "You mean... more than one person noticed this matter?"

"That I don’t know," True Immortal Jing Quan shook his head, answering earnestly, "but I can confirm, this matter can’t be hidden for long, just Elder Qing Ji shouldn’t worry... even if they can find spatial attribute earth cultivators, what then?"

Pausing, he solemnly spoke, "Spatial attribute isn’t the point, the point is Elder Feng! Without him, having millions of spatial attribute cultivators at hand can only be lamented in vain!"

Elder Qing Ji pondered for a moment, finally her expression eased. Actually, most beings above True Immortal, thinking slightly, can understand the significance of spatial attribute cultivators in the void. It’s merely a thin layer of window paper, once pierced, no secret truly exists.

The key is knowing the principle isn’t enough, you must be able to operate it.

Like how everyone knows that Divine Spirit Stage can enter and exit the void, but you must be in Divine Spirit Stage yourself!
