Chapter 1586: Leaving Earth
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The Eastern Sea Dragon King smiled and said, “Qingfeng Li, I hear that you’re about to activate the ancient teleportation array in the Arctic and leave for other planets. I want you to do me a favor. Take two of my people along with you. Is that alright with you?”
Hearing the Eastern Sea Dragon King’s words, Qingfeng Li shook his head. “There is a limit to how many people the Crimson Fire Array can carry,” he said. “We’ve already got enough people and can’t bring any more. Otherwise, the array wouldn’t be able to withstand it.”
The Eastern Sea Dragon King paused in thought, furrowing his brow. Then, he spoke. “I can provide you with a monarch grade vitality stone. Then you can take two more people with you.”
At first, Qingfeng Li didn’t want to agree and was about to refuse.
However, the Eastern Sea Dragon King stood in his way and Qingfeng Li was in a hurry to leave for Mars. He needed to find Ruyan Liu and Little Apple and didn’t want to waste time here. So finally, he agreed to the Eastern Sea Dragon King’s request. In exchange for a monarch grade vitality stone, he would bring the Eastern Sea Prince and Third Princess with him.
As for the Second Princess, the Eastern Sea Dragon King didn’t intend for her to go to the other planets. She was to remain with him.
“Third Princess, we meet again,” Qingfeng Li said when he saw Third Princess. His voice carried a hint of delight.
Seeming to catch the teasing tone in Qingfeng Li’s voice, the Third Princess’s pretty face flushed red. She turned her head away, not daring to look at Qingfeng Li.
The Third Princess realized that, every time she saw Qingfeng Li, he would begin teasing her. But she couldn’t win in a match of strength either. Unable to win in either a physical or verbal fight, all she could do was to ignore him.
Beside Qingfeng Li, Xue Lin reached out two fingers and pinched his arm, warning him not to talk to other women.
Sighing, Qingfeng Li could only shut his mouth. With Xue Lin beside him, he couldn’t even tease the Third Princess.
The group boarded the aircraft and flew toward the ancient teleportation array in the Arctic.
When they had traveled about halfway, they landed the aircraft on a passenger ship, continueing their journey toward the Arctic on the ship. In front of them, there were towering ice floes. The helicopter couldn’t fly over them, so they had to rely on a specialized boat.
This icebreaker was constructed according to the design of a warship. It was a very powerful ship, its exterior completely covered in titanium plating. It could brave the harshest of conditions, and break apart even the toughest ice floes, reducing them to fragments that quickly melted into the saltwater.
The icebreaker travelled quickly, it only took a short while for them to reach the ancient teleportation array in the Arctic.
This was the second time Qingfeng Li had been here. However, looking at the massive transportation array, he still felt a wave of awe.
The transportation array was immense, spanning tens of thousands of square kilometers. It was an ancient thing, etched with talisman scriptures from the ancient era.
These talisman scriptures were dimensional array talisman scriptures, and Qingfeng Li didn’t recognize them.
“Senior,” using voice transmission, Qingfeng Li spoke to Dark Night Emperor. “Please help me activate the Crimson Fire Array.”
Dark Night Emperor nodded, flying straight from his sword.
Dark Night Emperor was an ancient saint, and an array specialist at that. He was a master of arrays, and so he was naturally able to decrypt the mere monarch grade array before them.
Taking the monarch grade vitality stone from Qingfeng Li, Dark Night Emperor threw each of the vitality stones toward one of the six points on the Crimson Fire Array.
When each point held a monarch grade vitality stone, Dark Night Emperor uttered an array chant. The words formed a stream of tadpole-shaped words.
These were Monarch grade Array talisman scriptures, and once they’ve entered the Crimson Fire Array, a bright light radiated from the formation and formed a massive black interspatial tunnel.
“Qingfeng Li, you guys hurry inside,” Dark Night Emperor instructed. “Be careful. Once you enter the Crimson Fire Array, you will see other planets. Under no circumstances are you to reach out and touch them, or you will be in danger.” With that, he morphed into a beam of black light and flew back into Qingfeng Li’s sword.
Right now, Dark Night Emperor was just a spirit. In plain terms, he was a soul fragment. He could not enter the Crimson Fire Array himself.
This was because there was spatial turbulence within such a powerful array. If it were to come into contact with Dark Night Emperor, his soul would be torn to shreds. If that were to happen, he would be unable to find a new body, or even to reincarnate.
Qingfeng Li nodded. Taking Xue Lin’s hand, he lifted his right foot and led the way into the Crimson Fire Array.
Qingfeng Li was afraid of getting separated from Xue Lin, so he held onto her hand, just in case.
Seeing this, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake followed closely behind Qingfeng Li in order to prevent getting separated from him.
Behind them were the Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren, the Eastern Sea Prince, and the Third Princess.
One by one, these people entered the array. When all of them had went through, the Crimson Fire Array slowly closed.
Qingfeng Li felt darkness cover his eyes. Then, he was in a mysterious space.
This space had a powerful pulling force, drawing Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin forward into the unknown.
This was a pitch black passageway filled with a unnameable power.
Through the outer walls of the tunnel, Qingfeng Li could clearly see other planets. He was even able to see the Earth he was leaving behind.
The Earth was an azure planet. Beneath the atmosphere, there were landmasses and oceans. It was beautiful.
Qingfeng Li knew that, when he left Earth today, he would never be able to return. Not unless he was able to reach the saint or immortal level first. Only then would he be able to open a tunnel through the Universe and return to Earth.
This was a law of the universe: going from lower planes to higher ones was easy, but to return to a lower plane from a higher one was extremely difficult.
After a moment, Qingfeng Li was no longer able to see Earth as it had disappeared from the interspatial tunnel.
To either side of Qingfeng Li, there appeared more than a few dozen other planets.
These planets were of all colors: white, green, blue, black, and any other color imaginable. Most of these were low and mid-tier planets.
These planets were the stars in the sky that Qingfeng Li had once seen from Earth. But now, they were much closer, so close that it was as if they were brushing by them as they passed.
Through the interspatial tunnel and the spatial array, the Crimson Fire Array linked Earth, the low-tier planet, directly to the top-tier Mars.
Mars held dominion over hundreds of planets. It was the most powerful Top Tier Planet near the Milky Way Galaxy. It was very far from Earth, so much so that a space ship would take more than a lifetime to travel between the two. Only through these ancient continent’s teleportation array could it be reached.
When they first entered the array, Xue Lin was still a little curious. Her bright eyes looked this way and that, all around them. She even wanted to reach out and touch the transparent walls that the array had cast around them.
But Qingfeng Li quickly caught her hand before she made contact.
Qingfeng Li told her that these array tunnels were linked to all kinds of unknowable places. They couldn’t touch it willy-nilly. Otherwise, they could be transported to some other planet.

Chapter 1587: Void Ants
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
“Honey, this transportation array is amazing. I can’t believe we are being transported to some unknown place. And, look, through the walls, you can even see other planets! It’s so beautiful!” walking beside Qingfeng Li, Xue Lin spoke. There was a look of wonder on her delicate face.
Qingfeng Li nodded. Holding Xue Lin’s dainty hand, he stood by her as they watched the other planets from within the array.
The planets were beautiful, spectacular even, and so close that they could reach out and feel their atmospheres.
But they did not do so, but only stood there silently in the interspatial tunnel.
Suddenly, Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. He sensed danger up ahead. Having stood on the line between life and death so many times, he was extremely sensitive to the presence of danger, more so than anyone else.
“Honey, are you alright?” Seeing the rapid change in Qingfeng Li’s expression, Xue Lin asked. She saw sweat sliding down along his forehead. “Why are you so pale all of a sudden?”
Just then, Qingfeng Li shouted, “Everyone! Start channeling your vital essence, and maintain your power. There is danger nearby!”
Having heard Qingfeng Li’s warning, the group all hurriedly channeled the vital essence in their bodies. Xue Lin, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, the Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren, the Eastern Sea Prince, and the Third Princess all stared ahead wearily.
They believed Qingfeng Li; if Qingfeng Li said there was danger, there were sure to encounter some great peril.
Clang!
A sudden noise rang throughout the Crimson Fire Array. The space within the array became extremely unstable.
Xue Lin’s hand slipped out from Qingfeng Li’s grasp as she fell to the ground. He reached out, trying to grab her, when a loud clunk rang out again from the Crimson Fire Array.
Qingfeng Li’s was also thrown to the side as he fell to the ground as well.
It wasn’t just Xue Lin and Qingfeng Li: everyone standing beside them also fell to the ground and left disoriented.
Black Puppy furrowed its brows, its expression turning urgent. “Qingfeng Li,” it said. “Something’s wrong. The array is being attacked!”
Hearing Black Puppy’s remark, Qingfeng Li activated his clairvoyance. Twin beams of golden light shot from his pupils, granting him vision outside of the array’s walls.
As he anticipated, Qingfeng Li found that, outside the walls, a massive swarm of ants was attacking the Crimson Fire Array.
These ants were huge, each one the size of a water tank, with black wings growing from their backs. They charged toward the Crimson Fire Array relentlessly, seeming to smell the scent of fleshy bodies within. Their eyes were red with crazed bloodlust, their mandibles clacking.
“Void ants, these are void ants!” Black Puppy cried out in shock.
“Void ants…” Qingfeng Li’s expression turned into one of shock. There was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Before he entered the Ancient Transportation Array, Qingfeng Li had taken time to cram in some basic knowledge about the universe. He had learned that the Universe was populated by a type of powerful creature called the void ants.
Void ants specialized in attacking interstellar teleportation arrays. They would tear the tunnels apart, revealing the self-cultivators inside.
Then, these void ants would swarm in on their prey, killing them all and devouring their flesh.
“Puppy, what do we do? How do we kill these void ants?” Qingfeng Li’s face was ghastly pale as he turned to ask Black Puppy.
Black Puppy’s eyes shifted restlessly; he was trying to think of a plan of action.
The Crimson Fire Array continued on its path, transporting them forward through the interspatial tunnel. It was like riding an elevator: they had no way of stopping.
But the void ants were able to travel through the void and attack them from all directions.
As for physical attacks, those were out of the question. When they engaged in combat with these ants, the transportation array would no doubt be damaged. Should the spatial turbulence seep in through the cracks, none of them would survive.
“Qingfeng Li,” Black Puppy said urgently. “Use spiritual attacks on the ants. Under no circumstances can you use other techniques or physical attacks. Otherwise, the interspatial transportation array would be damaged.”
QingfengLi nodded. His greatest strength was his spiritual attack power. He should be able to deal with these void ants without any problems.
Qingfeng Li activated the spirit energy in his mind-space. Opening his mouth, he let loose a roar, releasing a black lion of thunder and sonic waves. It was the Sonic Thunder and Lightning Lion Roar.
Lightning danced on the surface of the sonic-lightning lion, emitting a string of thunderous crackling sounds as it slammed heavily into one of the void ants. The creature let out a piteous shriek as it fell, its wings scorched black.
But there were too many void ants gathered here, numbering in the tens of thousands. Qingfeng Li had succeeded in killing one, but far more were behind it.
Qingfeng Li knew that under no circumstances could he allow the void ants to get any closer or Xue Lin would be in danger.
Furiously propelling his spirit energy, Qingfeng Li released wave after wave of Sonic Thunder and Lightning Lion Roars. The sonic waves and lightning were extremely powerful, steadily killing the void ants around him, sending their corpses into the void.
Xue Lin, the Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren, the Eastern Sea Prince, and the Third Princess all released their own spirit energy in an attempt to help. But their spirit energies were far too weak, their spiritual attacks couldn’t even scratch the void ants.
Only Black Puppy and the Sky-Devouring Snake were able to help, releasing their spirit energies and killing some of the ants.
Even then, there were still too many void ants. There seemed to be no end to them as they swarmed in like a cosmic blanket. Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake were starting to become exhaust.
After a long time, the three of them finally killed all the void ants.
Qingfeng Li was left exhausted, his face pale and his clothes soaked through with sweat. More sweat beads were steadily sliding down his forehead.
Each bead of sweat was the size of a pea, it was evident how worn out he was from the earlier exertions.
With a thump, Qingfeng Li’s body fell to the ground. He sat there, unable to get up. He was seriously tired and couldn’t move a muscle.
Thankfully, the Crimson Fire Array contained a defensive array that kept them from being harmed by the spatial turbulence outside.
Xue Lin’s delicate face showed a hint of worry as she hurried toward Qingfeng Li. She reached out her right hand, resting it on his meridians and sending her vital essence into him to help him recover.
However, when Xue Lin’s vital essence entered his body, Qingfeng Li’s face grew paler still. A thin veIl of frost appeared on his body.
“Honey, don’t give me any more of your vital essence,” he said with a forced smile as he shook his head. “Your Phoenix Immortal Chant is the ice essence of the Ice Phoenix; my vital essence is of the fire element, I can’t use it.
Hearing this, Xue Lin was visibly disappointed. She had wanted to help Qingfeng Li. But it turned out that her vital essence was the complete opposite of Qingfeng Li’s. The two were conflicting and not interchangeable.
Seeing the exhaustion and the pallor on Qingfeng Li’s face, Xue Lin felt extremely worried.

Chapter 1588: The Interspatial tunnel Was Breached
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out. “Qingfeng Li, my vital essence is of the fire element. I can transfuse some to you.”
Qingfeng Li turned his head. He found that it was Third Princess who had spoken. A hint of uncertainty appeared in his eyes.
Seeming to notice Qingfeng Li’s questioning gaze, a smudge of red appeared on the Third Princess’s pretty cheeks. She seemed to be a bit flustered.
The Third Princess used to be brash and unfriendly toward Qingfeng Li. However, after Qingfeng Li straightened her up a few times, she became rather frightened of him.
This was especially true now that Qingfeng Li had become the alliance chief of the Eastern world of self-cultivation and reached the seventh level of the Spirit Emperor Realm.
In addition, Qingfeng Li was capable of challenging masters of higher realms. Rumors say that when the Western World of self cultivators had attacked the East, Qingfeng Li had defeated even the Sky God’s Avatar with ease. In the entire Eastern world of self-cultivation, Qingfeng Li was definitely the only one who could do so.
Even the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace had to treat Qingfeng Li with respect. The Third Princess naturally had to do so as well.
Before leaving with Qingfeng Li, the Third Princess had been repeatedly warned by her father to be sure to make nice with Qingfeng Li; under no circumstances was she to oppose him.
Qingfeng Li nodded, agreeing to let the Third Princess transfuse her vital essence.
Qingfeng Li knew that, right now, inside the Interspatial tunnel, he must recover his strength as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if the Interspatial tunnel was attacked again, their situation would become perilous.
The Third Princess was also aware of the urgency of the situation. Not daring to delay another instant, she rushed to Qingfeng Li’s side and reached out with her hand. She laid the hand on Qingfeng Li’s wrist, preparing to begin the transfusion.
Right then, there was a loud clunk as the spatial teleportation array was struck by another attack.
Qingfeng Li and Third Princess were both thrown to the side. In fact, everyone in the interspatial tunnel were thrown down in a cluttered heap. Not a single person was able to stand.
Having been thrown to the ground again, Qingfeng Li stared outside with his clairvoyance despite the pain in his body.
From out in the void, there came a beam of light. This was a beam of blade energy. Coming from the Sky Blade Planet, the beam slashed into the Interspatial tunnel, leaving a thin crack.
“Dammit,” Black Puppy said, his expression shifting. “Its the masters on the Sky Blade Planet. They’re attacking our teleportation array!”
Qingfeng Li’s face also grew grim. There was a hint of rage in his eyes.
He knew the Sky Blade Planet well, it was another top tier planet, just like Mars. It was a powerful celestial body.
Only, these were the enemies of Mars, so they were trying to disrupt their transportation array.
Having exhausted a large portion of his vital essence earlier, Qingfeng Li had almost no energy remaining. He could do nothing to defend against the powerful blade energy.
Luckily, the transportation array had its own defensive barrier, which had blocked the blade energy for him. Otherwise, the array would long since have been destroyed.
Even so, the people in the array were thrown every which way. Not one of them managed to remain standing, and they all fell heavily to the ground.
Qingfeng Li watched Xue Lin slam to the ground not far from him. Her forehead hit the tunnel’s barrier and a small stream of blood flowed down her face. He felt his chest seize up in heartache.
“Honey, are you alright?” he shouted out to Xue Lin.
Xue Lin shook her head. “I’m alright, Honey. Take care of yourself.”
The space inside the interspatial tunnel was rather large and, right now, everyone was separated.
Far away on the Sky Blade Planet, waves of blade energy continued to fly forth. Like a meteor shower, they cut through the void and instantly crashed upon the Interspatial tunnel. They left a web of cracks on the array’s protective barrier. It could shatter at any moment.
Qingfeng Li’s heart was heavy with worry. “Puppy,” he spoke. “What do we do now? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?”
Black Puppy shook its head. “Qingfeng Li,” it gave a bitter smile and said, “The master who is attacking our Interspatial tunnel is possibly of Spirit Monarch Realm. With just our power, there is nothing we can do. Once the Interspatial tunnel collapses, we will all be buried in the cosmic turbulence.
Qingfeng Li felt his heart sink. He thought that Black Puppy would have a solution to their predicament. But now, it looked like even Black Puppy was out of ideas. After all, Black Puppy had only awakened ten percent of the power of its bloodline. It was still very weak.
Qingfeng Li then went to converse with Dark Night Emperor and the Fire Dragon’s Soul. He hoped that these two would be able to provide answers to his problems.
But Dark Night Emperor’s response was that he didn’t have a good solution either.
He was currently just a fragmented soul, and he could not even appear in the Interspatial tunnel. The moment he did, he would be torn to shreds by the spatial turbulence. This was not a safe place for souls.
Qingfeng Li was left only with the option of praying. He prayed to the Gods of the Universe, hoping they could protect him and allow him to arrive at the top tier extraterrestrial planet, Mars, safely.
Crack, crack, crack…
The barrier around the interspatial tunnel continued to crackle. Like a spider web, the cracks spread outward. They appeared one after the other, one, then two, then three and four…
Countless black cracks radiated outward in all directions. The barrier was about to break.
So long as their bodies were separated, they were placed into different positions in the Interspatial tunnel. So they were left with nothing to do but to stare at one another, all of them: Qingfeng Li, Xue Lin, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, the Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren, the Eastern Sea Prince, and the Third Princess.
Suddenly, Black Puppy’s eyes lit up with joy. It stretched out its paw and pointed forward, shouting. “Qingfeng Li, look! Up ahead, it’s Mars. Hang on a little longer, we’re almost there!”
Hearing Black Puppy’s cry, Qingfeng Li’s eyes, too, lit up. He hurriedly looked ahead.
And just at the Puppy said, up ahead there was a massive planet. It was truly immense, more than a hundred times the size of Earth.
And on its surface, there burned a red light. Whereas the Earth was a crystal blue, this planet was crimson. Even the atmosphere was red; the whole planet was like a burning red sun.
Despite being far away, Qingfeng Li still felt a wave of searing heat.
“Hold on, hold on, we’ll be safe once we reach Mars.” Qingfeng Li’s felt his heart lift back up as he muttered repeatedly to himself.
But things rarely went as one wishes. Contrary to what Qingfeng Li had hoped, just as they were about to reach the atmosphere of Mars, the interspatial tunnel was struck by another blow from the master on the Sky Blade Planet.
This final blow was extremely powerful. The blade energy, spanning a full ten thousand square kilometers, cleaved upon the Interspatial tunnel with monstrous force. The blow severed the tunnel into two halves.
Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and the Sky-Devouring Snake were in the first half.
Xue Lin, the Eastern Sea Prince, the Third Princess, the Fate Elder, and Qixuan Zhenren were in the later half.
Chapter 1589: The Spirit Nucleus is Devoured
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
“Honey!” A look of desperation came over Xue Lin’s pretty face. Her eyelashes quivered as tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing that Qingfeng Li had been separated from her and was on the other side of the tunnel, Xue Lin felt her heart break a little.
She reached out a porcelain hand toward Qingfeng Li, but the interspatial tunnel had been severed; it was a futile effort.
The two ends of the interspatial tunnel had been completely separated, split into two halves like a bottle that had been cut through the middle.
Worry and fear filled Qingfeng Li’s eyes as he hurriedly reached out his own hand toward Xue Lin’s outstretched palm, but found that he could not reach her.
The two of them were so close to another, but the spatial turbulence between them kept them completely apart. They were like the Cowherder and the Weaver Girl, the star-crossed lovers of the classic myth.
The spatial turbulence rushed toward the two; Qingfeng Li’s hand was torn into a bloody mess, as was that of Xue Lin.
Qingfeng Li shouted at those in the other side. “Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren. Quickly, protect Xue Lin!”
At Qingfeng Li’s command, the Fate Elder and the Qixuan Zhenren hurried to draw upon their vital essences. Together, they created a series of white protective energy veils, blocking out the spatial turbulence to keep Xue Lin from harm.
Even so, with the spatial turbulence relentlessly rushing at the energy veil, the Fate Elder’s and Qixuan Zhenren’s faces both began to grow pale.
Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake also quickly released their own white defensive energy veils, protecting Qingfeng Li from the assault of the spatial turbulence.
With the interspatial tunnel snapped in half, separating the group within, they all fell down toward Mars’s atmosphere.
Suddenly, another beam of silver blade energy flew from the distant Sky Blade Planet. It traversed the vacuum of space with extreme keenness as it appeared directly before Qingfeng Li.
At the last moment, Sky-Devouring Snake suddenly dashed forward, its body turning into a massive snake silhouette.
Sky-Devouring Snake called upon the power of its bloodline, the Ancient Snake Ancestor. It slammed into the white blade energy, blocking the killing blow for Qingfeng Li.
Ka-boom!
Sky-Devouring Snake was sent flying. Blood spewing from its mouth, it flew down toward the ground like a falling comet.
“Sky-Devouring Snake!” Qingfeng Li howled, his eyes filled with anguish. But there was nothing to be done.
In order to defeat the void ants from earlier, Qingfeng Li had already exhausted all of his vital essence and spirit energy.
Qingfeng Li could only stare as Sky-Devouring Snake, having just saved his life, was thrown down into Mars’s atmosphere.
The white blade energy did not stop coming. From the Sky Blade Planet, another beam flew toward Qingfeng Li. It was as though whoever was attacking held some kind of grudge against him, not willing to stop until he was dead.
In the face of danger, Black Puppy dashed from Qingfeng Li’s side. It wanted to help Qingfeng Li too.
But Qingfeng Li had a death grip on Black Puppy’s tail. “You can’t go!” He dragged the Puppy back, saying, “You’ll meet the same fate as the Sky-Devouring Snake.”
He had already lost Sky-Devouring Snake; he didn’t want to lose Black Puppy as well.
These two Godly beasts had been with Qingfeng Li for a long time; the bond between them ran deep.
The white light came, fast and sharp. It flew at a speed faster than lightning, arriving over Qingfeng Li’s head almost instantly.
If the strike hits him, Qingfeng Li would no doubt be torn in half. Even though he had the Mortal Purgatory Body, there was no way he could use it right now.
This was another blow from the blade of a Spirit Monarch Realm master; no one could block it, not unless Qingfeng Li reached the Spirit Monarch Realm as well.
Seeing that Qingfeng Li was about to be killed by the powerful blade energy, a look of horror came over Xue Lin’s delicate face. She cried out his name, making to dash toward him. But she was trapped inside Fate the Elder’s white protective energy veil, unable to move forward.
All around them was the spatial turbulence. If she went out, it would tear her to shreds.
Shoo!
Suddenly, a beam of red sword energy flew out from Mars. The red beam flew at an incredible speed, appearing before the white blade energy in an instant. It collided with the white energy, emitting a sky-shattering boom, and blocked its path forward, not allowing it any closer to Qingfeng Li.
“Sky Blade Emperor,” a proud, imposing voice rang out from Mars below. “You are an Emperor of the Sky Blade Planet. You have no right to mess about on our Mars.”
An icy voice replied from the Sky Blade Planet. “Qingfeng Li killed my apprentice, Wudi Jin. Out of respect for you, I’ll let him live, today. I’ll take his life some other time.” With that, the voice vanished.
Immediately after, the arrogant voice from Mars disappeared as well. It was as though it was never there.
At the same time, on the surface of Mars beneath them, there appeared six beams of white light. They enveloped Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, Xue Lin, Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren, the Eastern Sea Prince, and the Third Princess. They were carried away to someplace unknown.
However, each of the six beams of light shot out in a different direction; to the east, the west, the north and south. Only Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy were headed in the same direction.
Qingfeng Li saw the images before his eyes blur. There was a flash of white light, and then he was wrapped in a ball of energy.
This ball of energy was like a transportation array, taking him straight into some unknown passageway.
Not far from him was Black Puppy. Other than that, he could not see anyone else; they had all been sent in other directions.
“Oh no.” Qingfeng Li’s face grew pale, a hint of terror appearing in his eyes. “This white light is drawing on my spiritual power and vital essence!”
Qingfeng Li had initially thought that the white light that appeared was a good thing. He did not expect there to be a monstrous devouring force coming from the ball of white light. It was devouring what little vital essence and power remained in his body.
Qingfeng Li was at the Seventh Level of the Spirit Emperor Realm, and a Emperor class spirit nucleus had formed in his body. But now, the nucleus had been devoured by the white light, he was now just a regular human.
“Dammit! If I’m just a regular human, here in this unfamiliar world, won’t I be like a dead man walking?” Qingfeng Li was filled with terror at the thought.
But there was nothing he could do. The devouring power contained in the white light was too powerful. It was the power of a Spirit Monarch Realm master that was devouring his power.
Qingfeng could not stop it and could not resist. All he could do was allow his Emperor Class spirit nucleus to be devoured.
Not only Qingfeng Li, but even Black Puppy’s demon nucleus was consumed by the white light.
“I thought the Crimson Fire Emperor was saving me, but who would have thought that he wanted to devour my spirit nucleus,” Qingfeng Li cussed silently. He was enraged, but there was nothing to be done.
It was all clear to Qingfeng Li now. Whether it was the Sky Blade Emperor of the Sky Blade Planet or the Crimson Fire Emperor of Mars, none of them meant well. To them, he was of no significance, just someone they could bully as they pleased.
Qingfeng Li swore to himself that, one day, he would definitely get his revenge.

Chapter 1590: Ascending the High Tier Planet
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li had no sense of time in the interspatial tunnel; after god knows how long, the ball of white light disappeared, and he realized that he had arrived… somewhere.
Qingfeng Li raised his head, and realized that he was atop an unknown, heat-exuding mainland.
He touched the ground with this hand – he was definitely not on Earth anymore.
Goosebumps suddenly crawled up Qingfeng Li’s body as he saw a group of people in front of him, all staring at him.
These men and women were all very young, in their teens or twenties. Each one was youthful and energetic.
They were all wearing different clothes: some had on white robes with blade patterns sewn on, while others had silver robes with silver arrows or black robes with arrows… there were a hundred or so people there.
Qingfeng Li’s vital essence and spirit energy had all disappeared, and right then was no more than an ordinary man. Being stared at by more than a hundred people worried him to his core.
“Look, it’s a beggar! Look at his ragged clothes, I wonder where he rose from.”
“I bet you anything that he rose from a low tier planet, just look at his ragged clothes and the injuries on his body.”
“Didn’t you realize that there’s no vital essence coming from his person? If he isn’t a self-cultivator, how did he get here?”
“Yeah, weird, how did a person with no vital essence get transported through the teleportation array?”
The curious young self-cultivators talked amongst themselves while pointing their fingers at Qingfeng Li as if he were some kind of beast.
Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes with a gloomy expression on his face. He was at the seventh level of the Spirit Emperor Realm and was extremely powerful. Who would have thought that the Emperor of the Sky Blade Planet would attack him and split the interspatial tunnel?
Then, to make things worse, the white light swallowed Qingfeng Li’s spirit nucleus, stripping him of all his powers.
Qingfeng Li became a little angry at the thought of this.
He knew that the Crimson Fire Emperor, the ruler of this planet, devoured his spirit nucleus. So, no matter how angry he was there was nothing much he could do right now. Once he levels up to the Spirit Monarch Realm, he’ll be able to seek revenge by killing the Crimson Fire Emperor.
Otherwise, he might be killed if he brought something like this up with other people.
Qingfeng Li kept his mouth shut and stared back at the self-cultivators.
He knew that everyone on this high tier planet hailed from other planets – either that of low-tier or intermediate-tier ones.
Each year, the high-tier planets would take in disciples from lower-tier planets.
“Come here, beggar,” a fat middle-aged man said to Qingfeng Li with a frown on his face.
Qingfeng Li looked around. Realizing that there was no one else around him, he asked, “Are you talking to me?”
Fury appeared in the fat middle-aged man’s expression at Qingfeng Li’s question. He bellowed, “Of course I’m calling you, beggar. Get over here.”
This angered Qingfeng Li, and he felt an urge to pull out the Fire Emperor’s Sword from his interspatial ring and teach the fat guy who was boss.
Then, he remembered that he had no energy left in his body; smiling awkwardly, he walked over unwillingly.
Qingfeng Li was aware that without his powers, he was no match for the fat man in front of him.
This man was obviously a very strong self-cultivator who was in charge here. If Qingfeng Li didn’t listen to him, he would probably be slapped to death.
He secretly decided that once his skills leveled up, he would come back and teach this fat man a lesson.
“Hi, senior, how may I help you?” Qingfeng Li walked up to the middle-aged man and bowed slightly.
Qingfeng Li was polite and poised, but the man didn’t care for any of it. He said coldly, “Which planet did you rise from, why don’t you have any vital essence in you and why are your clothes all battered?”
Qingfeng li replied, “I come from Earth and was attacked along the way, which resulted in me losing all my vital essence.”
“Earth?” The fat middle-aged man’s brows furrowed in surprise at Qingfeng Li’s words.
Of course he knew where Earth was – it was an incredibly powerful planet during the Ancient Era, but was invaded by other planets, resulting in the death of all of its immortals, saints, and even its Sky Emperor.
Since then, Earth’s conditions began to deteriorate, becoming the low-tier planet it was today.
Everyone had acknowledged that in the past millennia, no one from Earth had been or will ever be able to rise to a high-tier planet.
This was because those from low-tier planets must have at least five monarch grade vitality stones and saint-level spirit energy to activate a monarch level array.
If saints no longer existed on Earth, how did this person get here?
Qingfeng Li saw through the middle-aged man’s confusion, but he didn’t reply. He was not about to tell him that Dark Night Emperor was inside his interspatial ring.
Qingfeng Li still needed Dark Night Emperor and the soul of the Fire Dragon to help him recover and level up; they were his last cards on the table.
As long as he had Dark Night Emperor, Qingfeng Li was positive that he would be able to get his powers back.
“No wonder he looks like a beggar, he’s just a nobody from Earth.”
“Exactly, Earth is no more than a desolate, savage, and wild place. Who would have thought that after thousands of years, a human would be able to rise from there?”
“So what? We’re on the Red Fire Mainland of Mars, a high-tier planet. A nobody from Earth will just be killed.”
The hundred or so self-cultivators around Qingfeng all sneered as they looked down upon him.
From their conversations, Qingfeng Li slowly began to understand the awkward position Earth was in.
He never would have guessed that in the last millennia, no one from Earth other than himself had successfully rose to a high-tier planet. It seems that Earth has fallen from glory.
However, Qingfeng Li didn’t mind this too much and was still proud of being someone from Earth. He would prove the strength of his planet to these people.
One day, Qingfeng Li will, as a human from Earth, stand as one of the rulers of the Three Thousand Big Worlds.
“Woof, woof…” suddenly, he heard the voice of a dog whimpering in pain.
Qingfeng Li turned his head around to see Black Puppy lying not far from him, crying out in agony.
Chapter 1591: The Poor Black Puppy
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li looked over to realize that it was Black Puppy. Worried, he ran up to it and asked, “Little puppy, what happened to you?”
Black Puppy replied weakly, “My demonic vital essence and nucleus were swallowed by that damn white light. Now I’m no more than a regular dog.”
Qingfeng Li looked at Black Puppy sympathetically, as his powers were also stripped, turning him into a regular man.
He reached out his hand and patted Black Puppy’s forehead in consolation.
Black Puppy stopped howling after hearing about what happened to Qingfeng Li; it had finally found someone who shared its pain.
Still unhappy, the puppy stood up, stumbling.
“Hey, you, the beggar from Earth, didn’t I just tell you to come here? Who told you go to check out that bastard dog?” The fat middle-aged man scolded.
The middle-aged man’s voice was filled with icy discontent.
Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy both became angry at the man’s words and fury filled their faces.
However, without their powers they were no match for that fat middle-aged man and had no choice but to swallow their anger.
Black Puppy said quietly to Qingfeng Li, “This fat man is horrible. Once my powers come back I’m going to strip him into pieces.”
“You little bastard dog, what are you mumbling about? Do you want to die?” The man bellowed as he pulled out a black whip.
Whirling the whip in his hand, the fat middle-aged man aimed hard at Black Puppy, breaking open its skin and leaving a mark on its body.
After getting whipped by the middle-aged fat man, Black Puppy became quiet and obedient, because it knew that swallowing its pain and anger was the only way to go. Black Puppy would come back and seek revenge once it leveled up.
The two quickly walked up to the fat middle-aged man with their heads bowed down as if they were apologizing, despite feeling completely unapologetic.
The man sneered at them and snorted in discontent.
They were both from Earth, a low-tier planet, and he didn’t like them at all.
The other self-cultivators all brought presents for him; he had received treasures such as vitality stones, spiritual treasures, and precious elixirs.
However, Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy brought nothing; the middle-aged man only liked those who bribed him.
Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy stood behind all the self-cultivators, who were all standing quietly on the Ascension Platform as if they were waiting for someone.
This was the first time Qingfeng Li rose to a high-tier planet from a low-tier planet like Earth, so he knew nothing about what was happening. Keeping his mouth shut, he listened intently to the discussions of other self-cultivators.
“Which sect do you think will come scout us?”
“I heard that the Sword Supreme Sect was coming.”
“Apparently the Sword Supreme Sect is one of the most powerful sects of the Crimson Fire Continent. It’ll be awesome if they take us in.”
“I heard that the Saber Supreme Sect and the Black Elixir Sect are coming as well.”
The self-cultivators continued on about how they wanted to become disciples of these sects. If not these three, other sects would also do.
Qingfeng Li frowned as he finally realized what was happening. The others self-cultivators, like him, had all risen from low-tier or intermediate-tier planets.
Once they arrived, sects of high-tier planets will come and scout for disciples. Anyone who was talented or powerful enough will be taken in by the more renowned sects and become their disciple.
Qingfeng Li looked on carefully; the hundred or so self-cultivators all seemed very talented and powerful. Some of them had even awakened their bloodline power.
Qingfeng Li may have no powers, but he still had an attentive eye, which saw right through their bloodlines.
However, upon hearing their conversation, Black Puppy sighed heavily.
Without its demonic vital essence, it was just a dog, not even a demonic beast. When the sects decide that they don’t want it, it will become a stray. It began to feel bad for its own fate.
Qingfeng Li asked Black Puppy, “Little puppy, when we were surrounded by the white light, did you see Xue Lin, the Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren, the Eastern Sea Prince or Third Princess?”
Black Puppy shook its head. “At that time my demonic vital essence was being swallowed, I didn’t pay attention to what was happening. I’m guessing they were went in the opposite direction from us.”
Qingfeng Li’s expression dimmed in disappointment upon hearing this.
He thought that Black Puppy knew where Xue Lin went, and he would be able to look for her later. But it seems that Black Puppy had no clue either.
The only good news that comforted him was that Xue Lin and the others all landed on Mars, this high-tier planet.
Once he got his powers back, Qingfeng Li would be able to look for them on this mainland. He was positive that he would be able to find Xue Lin.
At the same time, on the other side of Mars, Xue Lin, the Fate Elder, and Qixuan Zhenren landed on another Spirit World Platform.
Their vital essence and spirit nuclei had also been swallowed by that mysterious white light.
The same thing happened to Xue Lin as Qingfeng Li – more than a hundred self-cultivators from lower-tier planets stood in front of her.
A fat, middle-aged man was receiving the self-cultivators. His fat white belly revealed him as someone who had a hearty diet and hardly ever worked.
The fat middle-aged man and the hundred self-cultivator’s eyes lit up with lust when they saw Xue Lin.
They may all be self-cultivators, but they were all flesh and blood people. This beautiful woman made their hearts skip a beat.
The treatment Xue Lin received was completely different than that of Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy. The fat middle-aged man walked up to Xue Lin and led her forward with a big smile on his face.
The other hundred or so self-cultivators from other planets all smiled at Xue Lin as well.
Some of the better-looking ones even tried to hit on her.
Chapter 1592: Scouting for Disciples
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Xue Lin’s beautiful eyebrows frowned unhappily – she did not like these men hitting on her.
However, she also knew that since she, Qixuan Zhenren, and the Fate Elder’s powers had all disappeared, she was in no position to show anger towards these people. She didn’t want to put them in grave danger.
Xue Lin missed Qingfeng Li and wished that he was there by her side.
She knew that the ball of white light swallowed her spirit nucleus, and imagined that the same thing happened to Qingfeng Li. She worried about him but was helpless.
Xue Lin secretly swore that she was going to join a powerful sect, level up her powers, and find Qingfeng Li as soon as she could.
On the other side of Mars, Qingfeng Li was worried about Xue Lin as well.
Black Puppy saw through Qingfeng Li’s worries and rubbed its tail against his leg. “Qingfeng Li, don’t worry. Xue Lin is a lucky woman, nothing’s going to happen to her. She’s going to become a disciple of a powerful sect.”
Qingfeng Li nodded. He knew that Xue Lin had the Ice Phoenix Bloodline, and as soon as the recruiters saw that, they would take her in as a disciple.
Swoop!
A ray of sword energy broke through the skies like a comet and landed in front of the crowd of people.
Qingfeng looked up to see a young man standing atop the golden sword energy.
He was young, at most twenty-eight years old. With distinct eyebrows, starlit eyes, and a strong physique, this handsome young man’s entire body exuded powerful sword energy.
Magnificent sword energy split through the air as he advanced.
A golden arrow was sown onto the young man’s robes, reflecting golden light so bright that it hurt their eyes.
The fat middle-aged man hurried up at the sight of the young man and said, “Welcome, emissary of the Sword Supreme Sect, are you here to scout talent?”
The young man smiled faintly and nodded without getting off the golden sword.
This young man was rude and impolite, but the fat middle-aged man didn’t mind.
He was not just any disciple – he was the final disciple of the master of the Sword Supreme Sect and was here to take in any potential talents as disciples. (TL Note: final disciple is the last student the sect master takes in before saying, that’s it, no more students. Final disciples are usually the youngest but also most treasured by the Sect Master, and are usually sent to find more disciples when the sect master is ready to take in more students)
Once he found a disciple that he liked, the fat middle-aged man would be awarded with an emperor-level vitality stone, so naturally, the fat man was on high alert.
The handsome young man looked back and forth at the self-cultivators until his eyes finally lit up when he saw two potential talents amidst the crowd.
They were brother and sister, both in their late teens, both cultivated to that of Heavenly Spirit Realm; this pair were rare powerhouses.
“My name is Yangtian Jin, the direct disciple of the Sword Supreme Sect. Would the two of you like to come with me and train as our disciples?” the young man asked the twins in front of him.
The twins beamed at Yangtian Jin’s words. They had risen from a low-tier planet with the sole purpose to train on a high-tier planet and become powerful self-cultivators with powerful techniques.
So naturally, they were more than willing to become a disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect, and happily ran up to the handsome young man.
After taking in the twins, Yangtian Jin turned his attention back to the hundred or so self-cultivators, but he didn’t find anyone else he liked. Suddenly, his eyes landed on Qingfeng Li.
At first, Yangtian Jin’s eyes lit up in surprise, as he felt a unique energy from Qingfeng Li. However, his surprise quickly turned to disappointment.
Yangtian Jin failed to detect any vital essence from Qingfeng Li – he seemed to be no more than an ordinary person.
An ordinary man into his twenties who hadn’t cultivated nor had any vital essence was obviously untalented. Yangtian Jin looked at Qingfeng Li in disappointment one more time before turning his head away.
“Fatty, not bad, I took in two disciples this time around. Here are two emperor-level vitality stones,” Yangtian Jin said to the fat middle-aged man as he took out two stones from his robe and threw them at the fat man.
Then, he turned around with the twins and left the spirit world platform.
The fat middle-aged man looked at the vitality stones happily.
Having already reached the peak stage of spirit king realm, he could use these stones to level up to spirit emperor realm, he thought in delight.
The fat middle-aged man secretly hoped that Yangtian Jin could take in more disciples, but unfortunately, Yangtian Jin was not interested in anyone else.
Black Puppy reached out its paw and tugged the bottom of Qingfeng Li’s pants. Quietly, it asked, “Why did you hide your bloodline power just now when Yangtian Jin looked at you?”
Qingfeng Li shook his head and answered, “I just don’t like that guy, so I didn’t want to become a disciple of the Sword Supreme Sect.”
Black Puppy rolled its eyes at Qingfeng Li upon hearing this.
The Sword Supreme Sect was one of the most powerful sects on the Crimson Fire Continent. One could only imagine how powerful Yangtian Jin was to have become the final disciple of the master of Sword Supreme Sect.
Qingfeng Li clearly saw that Yangtian Jin was at the ninth level of the spirit emperor realm and was about to level up. He must have had incredible talent and potential to be able to cultivate this far at such a young age.
However, Qingfeng Li didn’t care for him at all – perhaps geniuses disliked each other.
Qingfeng Li hid his dragon and devourer bloodlines with the energy inside his body so that Yangtian Jin wouldn’t notice his powers.
Of course, the other reason for why he didn’t want to become a part of the Sword Supreme Sect was the twins.
He remembered clearly that when he first arrived on the spirit world platform, it was them who called him a beggar and a nobody. And since the twins went with Yangtian Jin, Qingfeng Li wouldn’t.
A bright saber light shone brightly after Yangtian Jin left.
The light pierced through the sky as a young man in black came flying in on a black saber.

Chapter 1593: Let Qingfeng Li Do the Laundry
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li looked up and found the saber aura was being emitted by a huge long saber.
On the long saber stood a black-clothed young man. With a rugged face, bushy black eyebrows, a high-bridged nose, glinting eyes, and bulging muscles, the young man emitted a powerful presence.
He was as brawny as a bear.
On his clothes, there was an embroidered pattern of a silver saber. The overwhelming saber presence he emitted shot up high into the sky. As with the handsome young man just now, no one dared to look him in the eye.
Seeing the black-clothed young man, the fat middle-aged man hurriedly walked up to him with an ingratiating smile.
“Welcome disciple from the Saber Supreme Sect! There are over 100 young self-cultivators from low-tier planets. You can have your pick.” The fat middle-aged man bowed to him respectfully with a fawning expression on his face.
The fat middle-aged man had just received two emperor-grade vitality stones from Yangtian Jin and he was very pleased with it.
He tried to satisfy the black-clothed young man with eagerness. If the young man could find disciples to his satisfaction, the middle-aged man would be rewarded with more emperor-grade vitality stones, so he was quite motivated with this prospect.
The black-clothed young man glanced at the fat middle-aged man without speaking. He turned his attention to the 100 plus young people before him.
He knew that these young people had all flown to this high-tier planet of Mars from low-tier planets.
He was here at his master’ order to pick up some high-quality disciples.
“My name is Yidao Leng, the final disciple of the Saber Supreme Sect Leader. Now I am here to pick some highly talented young people to cultivate with me in the Saber Supreme Sect,” Yidao Leng said to the young people before him.
Hearing Yidao Leng’s words, the 100 plus self-cultivators were pleased.
They had been unhappy when Yangtian Jin didn’t choose them, so now they hoped they would be picked by Yidao Leng.
It was because the Saber Supreme Sect and the Sword Supreme Sect, where Yangtian Jin was from, were both powerful supreme-grade sects.
Once a person entered one of these sects, they would have access to large amounts of spirit herbs, spirit fruits, elixirs, and cultivation techniques. In addition, they would have the opportunity to become a local conqueror after becoming a supreme realm master.
Yidao Leng was disappointed after some observation since he didn’t see anyone with great potentials.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up when he saw a brawny youth in the center of the group.
The youth was only about 16 or 17 years old, but his physique was very huge and brawny, standing there like a huge gorilla.
Looking at his figure, one would have thought the youth was 36 years old instead of 16.
The youth had bulging muscles and glinting eyes. But on his cheeks, there were black whiskers and they looked quite ridiculous on him.
Very few people grew whiskers at 16. It showed that the youth had matured earlier than most people of his age.
Yidao Leng looked at the strapping youth and asked, “What’s your name? Which planet did you come from?”
“My name is Zhuang Xu. I’m 16 and came from the low-tier planet named the Strength Planet.”
Hearing Zhuang Xu’s words, Yidao Leng nodded. No wonder the youth was so brawny at such a young age. He was from Strength Planet.
The people on the Strength Planet cultivated their bodies starting from a very young age. Their muscles, skin, bloodline, and internal organs were all very strong and they were perfect candidates for the saber techniques of the Saber Supreme Sect, which were famous for their great strength.
After picking Zhuang Xu, Yidao Leng looked carefully at the others but didn’t find more appropriate candidates.
Some had good talents, but their physiques were too weak for the cultivation of the Saber Supreme Sect.
Suddenly, Yidao Leng’s eyes rested on Qingfeng Li and he thought this young man had potential.
He rode on his long saber and flew to the air above Qingfeng Li. He asked, “What is your name? Which planet did you come from?”
Gloomily, Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes. He already concealed his bloodline strength and he wondered why the young man still noticed him. Did he look very bulky?
Qingfeng Li looked down at himself and didn’t find himself very bulky. However, he did look handsome with a slim and straight figure.
Receiving no answer from Qingfeng Li, Yidao Leng frowned with disapproval, “I ask you again. Which planet did you come from and how old are you?”
Yidao Leng looked at Qingfeng Li, displeasure in his voice.
As the last disciple of the Saber Supreme Sect, Yidao Leng was respected wherever he went.
But the guy before him actually ignored his question! Yidao Leng was naturally displeased.
Although Qingfeng Li didn’t want to answer Yidao Leng, he knew Yidao Leng was very powerful and he couldn’t offend him otherwise he would face severe consequences.
After a moment’s consideration, Qingfeng Li decided to tell the truth. He said, “I came from Earth and am 24 years old.”
“Earth?” Hearing this name, Yidao Leng frowned with surprise.
Of course, Yidao Leng knew the Earth was a ruined low-tier planet plane and no one had left it in the last several thousand years. He wondered how someone from Earth could have made their way all the way here.
But in the next moment the black-clothed young man frowned slightly because he found Qingfeng Li didn’t have a trace of vital essence or a spirit core. In short, he was an ordinary person.
Despite all this, Yidao Leng still sensed something unusual on Qingfeng Li.
Acting on his intuition, Yidao Leng didn’t want to let Qingfeng Li go.
It was because his master had told him to bring back anyone with potential and provide the Saber Supreme Sect with fresh blood.
“Qingfeng Li, although you are a savage from the Earth, I will show you mercy and feed you. Go with me to the Saber Supreme Sect as a labor disciple. You can do the laundry there.” Yidao Leng looked at Qingfeng Li condescendingly.
Hearing Yidao Leng’s words, Qingfeng Li’s expression changed with fury. He felt insulted.
Who was he? He was the alliance chief of the world of eastern self-cultivators and the No.1 super fighter among the self-cultivators on Earth. He had even killed the avatar of the Sky God!
Now a mere ninth level spirit emperor actually wanted to recruit him into the Saber Supreme Sect?
Even more insulting than that, he was expected to be a servant and to do the laundry for the disciples of the Saber Supreme Sect? Qingfeng Li would not agree to that.
Chapter 1594: Pretty Woman in Black
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Shaking his head, Qingfeng Li refused Yidao Leng. “Sorry, but I don’t like the Saber Supreme Sect and I won’t go with you to be a disciple of it.”
Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, Yidao Leng revealed fury in his eyes.
It must be noted that the Saber Supreme Sect was a powerful sect in the whole Crimson Fire Continent and its leader was a spirit supreme realm master.
Many people hoped to enter the Saber Supreme Sect and regarded it an honor to be one of its disciples. Qingfeng Li was the first person who refused to enter it.
Yidao Leng emitted the powerful aura of a ninth level spirit emperor. The presence forced Qingfeng Li to retreat continuously. Pale-faced, Qingfeng Li almost fell to the ground.
Although Qingfeng Li had no vital essence in his body, he withstood the suppression of the spirit emperor realm without a grunt even though blood began to ooze from his body.
At this moment, the fat middle-aged man laughed and said, “Yidao Leng, you are the last disciple of the Saber Supreme Sect. It will reflect badly on you if you kill this wastrel. Anyway, without vital essence, he will be killed by demonic beasts soon in the wilderness.”
Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Yidao Leng nodded. He cast a cold glance at Qingfeng Li before taking Zhuang Xu out of here.
He had picked only one disciple among the 100 plus self-cultivators.
He had planned to take Qingfeng Li back to the Saber Supreme Sect to do the laundry, but Qingfeng Li refused his offer.
Despite his efforts in dissuading Yidao Leng from killing Qingfeng Li, the fat middle-aged man didn’t harbor any kindness toward Qingfeng Li. He had his own plans.
“The Sword Supreme Sect and Saber Supreme Sect are too picky with their disciples. They had recruited only three of us. What do the rest of us do now?”
“Yeah. When I was on my home planet, I was a genius and that was why the seniors in my family sent me to this high tier planet through the space teleportation array. I came here with the purpose of entering a supreme-grade sect, but no sect picked me.”
“The guy Qingfeng Li over there is really a moron. The last disciple of the Saber Supreme Sect Leader offered to let him do the laundry for the sect and he actually refused the offer.”
“Yeah. If Yidao Leng had offered to let me do the laundry, I would have agreed. If I could enter a supreme-grade sect, I would even have cleaned the toilets for them.”
The more than a hundred young people were all talking among themselves.
Some of them even pointed at Qingfeng Li with resentment.
They had witnessed Qingfeng Li’s refusals to both Yangtian Jin and Yidao Leng who had shown some interest in him.
They were envious of Qingfeng Li and wondered why this guy, who had no vital essence or a spirit nucleus would be chosen, while themselves, who were highly talented Heavenly Spirit Realm fighters, had been rejected.
Qingfeng Li had naturally heard their comments, but he remained silent because it was no use arguing with them when he was without his strength.
If he angered those people, they would beat him. He would deal with them after he recovered his strength.
Suddenly, there appeared a beam of black light in the distance. It was a small black boat flying toward them.
Seeing the boat flying in the sky, the watching people were all stunned with curiosity in their eyes.
In their experience, boats usually travelled on water instead of flying in the air.
Although Qingfeng Li had never seen a flying boat, he had heard from Black Puppy that some powerful spiritual treasure boats could fly in the sky.
He looked up at the sky and found it was indeed a spiritual treasure flying boat. On the surface of the boat were engraved many flying talisman scripts sparkling with misty lights.
Around the flying talisman scripts were vitality stones, which supplied continuous energy to the flying boat. As fast as a flash of black lightning, the boat was above the group’s heads instantly.
On the flying boat stood a woman in black.
The woman in black was very beautiful, with a charming face as fresh as a blooming flower, and skin as white as tofu. But her thin lips made her look mean and chilling light flashed in her long almond-colored eyes.
She had a slim figure, but her chest was flat.
On the sleeve of the pretty woman’s clothes there was the pattern of a black elixir furnace. As big as a bowl, the pattern was quite lively with shining black talisman scripts on it.
Black Puppy sniffed with its nose and twitched its ears.
Qingfeng Li gave a light kick to Black Puppy, saying, “Be careful or the woman will give you a hard time.”
Qingfeng Li had noticed that Yangtian Jin, Yidao Leng, and now the woman in black were the last disciples of large sects.
They were powerful, arrogant and had a high opinion of themselves. Once offended, they would immediately seek revenge.
Qingfeng Li knew that it was especially true with women. He didn’t want to draw her attention to him.
Black Puppy said in a low voice, “Qingfeng Li, I can smell the elixir scent on the woman. She has many elixirs with her and we can recover our strengths if we eat those elixirs.”
Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, “Puppy, don’t make any designs on the woman in black. I have sensed that she is a very powerful spirit emperor realm master. Without vital essence, we will die if we fight her.”
Although they talked in very low voices, the woman in black had heard their conversation because she was a spirit emperor realm master and had an excellent hearing and a highly sensitive soul.
“Little bastard, you are so bold to want to rob me of my elixirs. Do you know who I am?” The pretty woman in black pointed at Black Puppy and said coldly.
Black Puppy’s expression changed. It knew it was in trouble since the woman in black had heard his talk.
Black Puppy could clearly sense the powerful presence emitted from the woman in black and was frightened.
It hurriedly retreated and hid behind Qingfeng Li.
One had to say Black Puppy was really not a good doggie. Each time when it was in danger, it would hide behind Qingfeng Li and make him its shield.

Chapter 1595: The Scheming Fatty
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Seeing Black Puppy hide behind Qingfeng Li, a chilling light flashed in the eyes of the woman in black.
She emitted an overwhelming presence to suppress Qingfeng Li. Pointing at Qingfeng Li, she ordered him to hand over Black Puppy.
However, he Li shook his head in refusal since he would never hand Black Puppy to her.
It was because he had deep feelings for Black Puppy. Besides, Qingfeng Li disliked the woman in black.
A mere ninth level spirit emperor thought she could order Qingfeng Li around just because she was the last disciple of the leader of the Black Elixir Sect.
If Qingfeng Li had recovered his strength, he would have killed the woman in black with a palm strike.
The woman in black was angry at Qingfeng Li’s refusal. She took out a soft whip which she wanted to beat Black Puppy with and attacked Qingfeng Li.
At this critical moment, the fat middle-aged man on the flying platform came forward again and stopped her.
“Fatty, you are only a manager responsible for the landing of people from low-tier planets. You have no right to stop me,” the woman in black looked at him and said coldly.
The fat middle-aged man turned pale, and large drops of sweat began to slide down his forehead. He was afraid that the woman in black would vent her anger on him.
But he must stop her because he was the manager here and he would be punished if someone who traveled from a low-tier planet was killed.
“You can’t kill Qingfeng Li because I plan to use him as a bait to tempt demonic beasts.” Summoning up his courage, the fat middle-aged man revealed his scheme.
Hearing his words, the woman in black glanced at him in surprise, not expecting the fat middle-aged man would be so vicious that he actually planned to make the young man bait.
The flying platform was situated in the wilderness and was surrounded by many demonic beasts and fierce beasts.
The demonic beasts liked to eat self-cultivators, and only when the beasts were well fed, would they stop attacking the flying platform. Obviously, the fat middle-aged man had chosen Qingfeng Li as food for the demonic beasts.
The woman in black casted a pitying glance at Qingfeng Li and decided not to beat him, because she knew Qingfeng Li would die a pathetic death very soon.
And she had found that Qingfeng Li had not a trace of vital essence in his body. In other words, he was an ordinary person and an ordinary person would never survive in this wilderness.
From the conversation between the fat middle-aged man and the woman in black, Qingfeng Li knew he was in danger, but he wasn’t afraid.
It was because he still had Dark Night Emperor, the soul of Fire Dragon and the Black-and-White Millstone in his interspatial ring and the depths of his mind. When he falls in danger, they would definitely show up and help him.
“Madam Yifei Wang, please hurry up and pick the disciples for the Black Elixir Sect.” The fat middle-aged man mopped up the cold sweat on his forehead and bowed to her respectfully.
The woman in black named Yifei Wang nodded and ignored Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy, knowing the fat middle-aged man would feed them to the demonic beasts in the wilderness.
She turned her attention to the rest of the young self-cultivators, trying to find proper candidates for elixir making.
After looking for a long while, she still couldn’t find any youth suitable for making elixir. The most important ability in an elixir maker was not the cultivation level or talent but the soul power.
Only a person with great soul power could distinguish the spirit medicines.
An elixir maker must have good control of the exact quantity of each spirit medicine ingredient and the heat of the fire. And this controlling ability came from one’s soul power.
“This group of self-cultivators here have weak soul power.” Shaking her head, Yifei Wang had disappointment in her eyes.
But her master had told her that she must bring back two disciples even though they were only fit for building fires. The Black Elixir Sect was in desperate need of disciples.
Yifei Wang took out a white ball.
As big as a bowl, the ball had a shining light flowing on it. It was a soul ball that could measure a person’s soul power. Only those with great soul power could enter the Black Elixir Sect for cultivation.
With the soul ball in her hand, Yifei Wang walked to the first youth. She told him to extend one palm and put it on the soul ball for measurement.
The youth was only 16 with an innocent clear face, but he had already reached the first level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
The youth carefully put his right hand on the soul ball.
The white flowing light on the soul ball formed the number “2”.
“Level 2. Your spirit energy is too low for us.” Yifei Wang shook her head and rejected the youth.
A trace of desperation appeared in the youth’s eyes. He had flown up to the high-tier planet of Mars from a low-tire planet with the purpose of entering a supreme-grade sect. Now after three sects, no one had chosen him.
If the people on his planet were to know his failure, they would have mocked him because he was the genius youth of his home planet and the first disciple of a super family.
Of course, Yifei Wang had noticed the desperation in the youth’s eyes but she didn’t care.
It was because Yifei Wang was a practical woman. She only chose those talented individuals with powerful spiritual energy.
Yifei Wang came to the second self-cultivator with the soul ball. It was a girl who was 15 years old, one year younger than the youth before her.
She was so nervous that her body trembled slightly, her long eyelashes fluttered and her face turned white. She was scared of the woman in black since she could sense the great strength coming from her.
The woman in black was expressionless when she said, “Put your hand on the ball and transfer your soul power into it.”
Shaking slightly, the girl extended her snow-white right hand and put it on the soul ball transferring her soul power into it from her mind.
The white soul ball kept emitting shining white light and the number “4” appeared on the ball.
“Level 4 soul power? Good. It’s surprising that you have reached the fourth level in your soul power at such a young age.” Looking at the 15-year-old girl standing before her, the woman in black was pleased.
Yifei Wang had not expected that the girl’s soul power had actually reached the fourth level at such a young age.

Chapter 1596: No One Recruited Qingfeng Li
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Looking at the 15-year-old girl, a trace of surprise entered Qingfeng Li’s eyes.
He knew everything about soul power because he had studied it before and had learned spiritual attack techniques.
Soul power was divided into 9 levels with the first level as the lowest and ninth level the highest. The girl’s soul power had reached fourth level which was above the average. Her soul power was strong enough for making elixirs.
The woman in black was pleased that she had found a talented disciple
Looking at the pretty girl, Yifei Wang said, “I am Yifei Wang, the last disciple of the leader of Black Elixir Sect. Do you want to go with me to the Black Elixir Sect for cultivation?”
Hearing the woman in black’s words, the pretty girl blushed with excitement.
It was because she had flown up from the lowest-tier planet of Mercurius to enter a powerful supreme sect and become a powerful self-cultivator. She was very pleased that she could enter the Black Elixir Sect.
When she was powerful enough, she could make advanced elixirs for her family, so they could become a more influential force.
The pretty girl nodded eagerly and walked to the side of the woman in black. Her pale face was full of joy and excitement instead of the nervousness a moment ago.
The rest of the self-cultivators looked enviously at the pretty girl. They, too, wanted to be chosen by the woman in black and become disciples of the Black Elixir Sect.
The remaining self-cultivators all extended their palms, hoping to measure their soul power on the white soul ball. After the failures with the Sword Supreme Sect and the Saber Supreme Sect, they placed all their hope on the Black Elixir Sect.
Seeing the extended palms of 100 plus self-cultivators, the woman in black was displeased. She scolded coldly, “Don’t panic. Stand in a line and take your turn one by one.”
The rest of the young people were frightened by her scolding, so they quickly withdrew their palms and formed a line, walking to the woman in black one by one.
They had sensed the coldness in her voice and knew the great difference in power between them and the woman in black.
The woman in black was the last disciple of a supreme-grade sect and her power and ranking were much superior to the people coming from low-tier planets.
Holding the soul ball in her hand, Yifei Wang measured all the young people’s soul powers and finally chose a youth.
Like the girl before him, the youth was also 15 years old and had reached the fourth level in soul power.
The woman in black was very pleased that she had found two young people with fourth level soul power.
She took out two emperor-grade vitality stones and tossed them at the fat middle-aged man as payment.
Taking the emperor-grade vitality stones, the fat middle-aged man was very pleased, knowing he could increase his strength with the two emperor-grade vitality stones. He flattered the woman in black shamelessly.
Before her departure, the woman in black cast a cold glance at Qingfeng Li and said to the fat middle-aged man in a low voice, “Fatty, do you know what you’re supposed to do with the young man?”
The fat middle-aged man nodded and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Yifei Wang. I will cast Qingfeng Li into the wilderness and let him killed by the demonic beasts.”
The woman in black nodded her satisfaction and led the two youths off the flying platform. They left in the flying boat.
The fat middle-aged man said to the remaining 100 plus young people in a loud voice, “Don’t worry. In addition to the three supreme sects, there will be some emperor-grade and king-grade sects coming here to recruit disciples. If you have talents they want, you will be recruited by them.”
As he predicted, several emperor-grade sects came after his speech. These sects didn’t have such a high standard as those supreme-grade sects and recruited over 30 young people.
Then about a dozen king-grade sects came and recruited nearly 80 young people. Only five of them were left.
They were Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, two young men, and a woman.
The two young men and the woman were all in their twenties, and although they had reached Heavenly Spirit Realm, they were too old for the selecting sects.
The fat middle-aged man was the manager of the flying platform. He looked at Qingfeng Li and the others, seeming to be making some schemes.
No sect had selected Qingfeng Li. Displeased, he mocked silently the sects for not discovering his great talents.
Qingfeng Li had heard the conversation between the fat middle-aged man and the woman in black and knew about the fat middle-aged man’s vicious plan of feeding him to the demonic beasts in the wilderness.
But Qingfeng Li didn’t reveal it. Firstly, he didn’t have strength right now to rebel and the other three people wouldn’t believe him.
Secondly, if he revealed the evil plan, the fat middle-aged man would probably kill him right now. He would rather enter the wilderness of beasts where he would have a chance to survive.
In the next moment, the fat middle-aged man said in a loud voice, “You five all came from low-tier planets. Due to your lack of talents, no sects want you and you have to make do by yourselves.”
“Before you is the wilderness of beasts. If you cross it, you will find a human city at the end of the wilderness.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and left with Black Puppy and the other young people.
They knew that they had been expelled by the fat middle-aged man. If they stayed they would be punished by him.
The fat middle-aged man was a ninth level spirit king realm master and none of them was his match. They had to follow his orders.
Looking at the departing group, the fat middle-aged man sneered with a chilling light in his eyes, “Hehe, Qingfeng Li, there are many powerful demonic beasts in the wilderness and some of them have even reached the spirit emperor realm. You will die out there.”
The glance he cast at Qingfeng Li was without pity, but full of cruelty and killing intent.
Qingfeng Li had sensed the evil killing intent from the fat middle-aged man, but he wasn’t worried.
It was because the fierce beasts in the wilderness were no threat to him.
They didn’t go far before the short-haired brawny young man said, “Hey, fellow. You are really weak since you have no vital essence in you. Don’t stay with us.”
