Chapter Summary
Didn’t you say that we could only deal with some less fierce battles?” “It’s not about the war.” Liu Qingfeng smiled and said, “If you hadn’t come, Sect Leader Li and I would have to start the battle. These people can really alter the situation in some Sub-Star Areas.” Liu Qingfeng nodded and said, “In the war of the Sea Dragon Star Area, most of the soldiers are still in the Elixir Realm. If you want to start the war, you can do it at any time.” “Elder Yue, are you really going there?” Liu Qing...
Chapter 1133 The Principal Battlefield
“Go eat your food.”
Zhang Han patted Dahei on the head. The three pets then went to the table on the side. Tiny Tot lay on the table and began to breathe fire to cook the meat with ease.
Zhang Han and the others were about to start eating.
Even Zi Yan couldn’t help swallowing.
She was really hungry.
Her eyes were fixed on the hot pot.
“Mengmeng, Xiaonao, come here and have some food first. The homework can wait,” Zhang Han called out.
“Coming.”
After that, they wrote a few more answers before running over to sit down by the table.
“The hot pot is almost ready.”
“We’ll try some new ingredients this time.” Zhang Han took out three big bowls again, which were filled with something that looked like yogurt.
“What’s this?” Zhang Mu asked.
“Fish Bean Curd.”
Zhang Han said, “Recently, it’s popular to put Fish Bean Curd in hot pots. It’s quite special and tastes good, so I prepared some.”
“Ah, is this the same kind of Fish Bean Curd we had last time?” Zi Yan was a little stunned and pleasantly surprised. “I really want to have it again. Do you have the sour and spicy fish sauce?”
“Of course.”
“Honey, you are so thoughtful.”
“Let’s start eating. This tomato soup base is made of the ingredients that grew on our mountain. It tastes delicious. Everyone, you can all have some soup first.”
Zhang Han became busy. He first put the Fish Bean Curd into the boiling pot.
They waited in silence. Three minutes later, the Fish Bean Curd was cooked.
He picked up a piece, dipped it in the sour and spicy fish sauce, and then placed it in his mouth.
It was a little hot. It tasted as soft and tender as tofu, but the flavor was completely different. The aroma of fish meat and beans spread in his mouth. With the sour and spicy sauce, it formed a complex taste.
It was fresh and tasty.
Though Zi Yan and the others were on a high-tech main vessel, when they had the hot pot, they immediately felt happy and relaxed as if they were at home.
In an unfamiliar environment, having something that you were familiar with would give you a different feeling.
There was no daytime or nighttime here. After the meal, Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao went to do their homework again.
Zhang Han and the others just sat there.
A while later, Nina comes out and joined Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao to do her homework.
About five hours later…
Mengmeng yawned.
Seeing that, Zhang Han got up and said, “Let’s call it a day. Go to sleep. You can deal with the rest of your homework tomorrow.”
Thus, everyone went back to the rooms on the side. The sleeping compartments were quite comfortable.
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Mengmeng spent most of her time doing homework, cultivating, and repeatedly practicing the Spiritual Tortoise Secret Skill. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the Spiky Spiritual Tortoise Secret Skill.
Although she didn’t make much progress, she would master it if given time.
Their tracks were detected when they passed by a few nodes before they reached the Cloud Shadow Sky.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!”
The nine Thunder Kings and 60 corvettes appeared in the void not far from the Cloud Shadow Sky.
“What the f*ck!”
Seeing the large fleet in front of him, Lord Nan Shan jumped in fright.
“What’s going on?”
He saw hundreds of spaceships in the void ahead of him, eyeing him with hostility.
“That’s a lot of spaceships!
“If they attack us, it seems that my armed force can’t defeat them.”
“This is bad!” Lord Liu exclaimed.
He didn’t expect that this kind of situation would occur.
Fortunately, Zhang Mu didn’t joke around.
He immediately explained, “This is our destination. These are all our allies. Don’t worry.”
“Phew, I’m relieved then.”
Lord Liu was stunned for a few seconds before he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Signal XSADD343354 is calling.”
The intelligent system prompted.
“Put it through,” said Yue Wuwei.
“Sizzle.”
Li Hao’s figure was projected.
“Zhang Hanyang, Elder Yue, you’re here!” Li Hao looked very excited.
“Well, let’s talk after we land,” Zhang Han said.
“Okay, let’s meet in the space station.”
With that said, Li Hao hung up. The fleet of several hundred spaceships slowly approached the space station from both sides.
Now, the transport aircraft all became busy. The two hundred thousand soldiers of the Dark Shadow Clan rode the transport aircraft that could accommodate a large number of people to get to the space station before going to the surface of the Cloud Shadow Sky.
Zhang Han and his group traveled a little faster.
They boarded the Blue Butterfly and arrived at the space station before the army.
Li Hao was already waiting there. He directly entered the Blue Butterfly. The aircraft then passed through all the checkpoints and flew toward the Cloud Shadow Sky.
Lord Nan Shan and Lord Liu marveled at the unique scenery of Cloudy Shadow Sky.
It was as if they had entered a brand-new world. Everything was so novel and fascinating. After all, they had never been here before.
The Cultivation World was really different.
Lord Nan Shan, in particular, had felt the strength of the Yuan Ying Realm within him.
It was definitely not the kind he had when he was in the King’s Domain. There was a huge gap between the two kinds of strength.
“Senior Zhang.”
Li Mu quickly walked over, cupped his hands before his chest, and said, “I’m very sorry that I failed to complete the task.”
“It’s not your fault. Don’t be sorry.” Zhang Han chortled. He didn’t think it was a big deal.
Li Mu nodded and replied, “When the situation there becomes more controllable, I’ll bring people there to work on the project again.” Then, he looked at Nina and Mengmeng and said, “Hey, Mengmeng, long time no see. Did you miss me?”
“Haha.”
The next second, Mengmeng’s sneer sounded.
Li Mu didn’t know what to say next.
“Why does she still dislike me?”
“Princess Nina, it’s been a while. Your new look has really lit up my eyes.” Li Mu slightly narrowed his eyes and appraised Nina with interest. He felt that the way the Queen of Elves dressed was kind of odd.
“Okay.”
“That’s it? Why is she also aloof to me?”
Li Mu stared at Nina for two seconds. Seeing that she didn’t intend to say anything else, he turned to Yue Xiaonao and said, “Xiaonao, you’ve gained a little weight again. You look very cute.”
“You say who gained weight?”
It turned out that Li Mu could easily offend others when he was careless about what he said. During the whole flight, Yue Xiaonao kept glaring at him.
Li Mu smiled sheepishly and followed them around without saying a word.
At this time, Li Hao was talking with Yue Wuwei and Zhang Han.
“The general situation is as I just said. The war has been progressing steadily, while things have also become more complicated. Liu Qingfeng and I have made some battle plans in the past few days. I think his ideas are very great, only that these are too radical for our force to handle. You came at the right time. We can discuss the specific details in a moment,” Li Hao said, finally bringing his long speech to an end.
“The battle has been going on for half a year, but our achievement is not great. The battle is still in a stalemate,” Yue Wuwei stroked his beard and commented.
“Why did they suddenly launch an attack even though they knew how powerful Elder Yue was? Did they find out that we left or…” Zi Yan was very meticulous. She spotted this issue but couldn’t figure it out, so she posed the question to them.
“It’s because they were finally prepared.”
Li Hao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, “It’s a long story. In terms of the forces in the Sea Dragon Star Area, we’re superior to the Tiger Talisman Royal Family. However, the top forces in the Sea Dragon Star Area are not here. In fact, they are the secluded families living in the Chaotic Region.”
While speaking, Li Hao looked out of the window.
“The secluded families are the ones who can change the outcome of big wars. They seem to be isolated from the world, but in fact, we have a way to contact them. Among these secluded families, some people are in the God Transformation Realm. The planets that some of them live on are known by the masses, such as the Guang family of the North Ice Star. But some families’ whereabouts are kept a secret. Nobody knows where they are except for the core members of the various major forces. As far as I know, there are 11 secluded families in the Chaotic Region.”
“The Tiger Talisman Royal Family’s Grand Master is the Han family’s Guardian Elder, who is a core member of the family. My backer is the Guang family on the North Ice Star. After the great battle began, I went to them to ask for help once, but they turned me down. The Guang family’s elder was rather unfriendly. One of my friends later told me that the Tiger Talisman Royal Family’s Grand Master had already colluded with three other families, including the Huang family, which was regarded as in the upper echelons in the Chaotic Region. Each of the three families might have more than 10 God Transformation Realm Early-Stage cultivators. Apart from that, the Huang family definitely has some God Transformation Realm Middle-Stage cultivators. As for whether they have anyone at the God Transformation Realm Last-Stage, nobody knows. Precisely because of the Huang family’s support, the Tiger Talisman Royal Family dared to launch the attack so soon. If that friend of mine in the Guang family didn’t tell me these, I would still be kept in the dark. The Guang family doesn’t want to mess with the Huang family either. Thus, they don’t want to take a stance yet. Though I have a friendly relationship with them, its influence is limited. I never thought the Tiger Talisman Royal Family could have such a trump card. They have really hidden their power well.
“The fact that the Tiger Talisman Royal Family did not ally with the other families proves one thing. Perhaps they want to use this opportunity to reshuffle the forces of the Sea Dragon Star Area. They probably want to rule over the Sea Dragon Star Area!
“I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately. If the circumstance requires, we may have to flee to another Star Area.
“Can Elder Yue be able to deal with those families? With all due respect, may I know if Elder Yue is at the God Transformation Realm Middle-Stage or the Last-Stage?” Li Hao asked somewhat cautiously.
Asking about other people’s strength level was actually quite impolite. But since they were in the same alliance and they were on good terms, Li Hao inquired about it. The gap in strength between the Middle-Stage and the Last-Stage was very striking. If Elder Yue was at the Last-Stage, then the Cloud Shadow Sky would not really be at a disadvantage!
“You can only take a guess then.” Yue Wuwei chuckled but did not answer him.
While speaking, the aircraft landed on the side of the viewing platform in the main hall.
After getting off, they saw Liu Qingfeng and the others standing at the edge of the site, looking at the spectacular mountains in front of them.
“Everyone is here?”
After the group got off the aircraft, Liu Qingfeng turned around, took off his glasses, and put them on the table. Then, he walked over and said with a smile, “I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Why wait for us?” Mu Xue was dazed. A moment later, she said, “We can’t possibly affect the overall situation in the Sea Dragon Star Area, can we? Didn’t you say that we could only deal with some less fierce battles?”
“It’s not about the war.” Liu Qingfeng smiled and said, “If you hadn’t come, Sect Leader Li and I would have to start the battle. In that case, a large part of the war wouldn’t be filmed. But this war is very important. I’d like to see it go down in history. If you film it, I can watch it from time to time when I grow old.”
“Uncle Liu,” Zhou Fei scratched her head and said, “you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to start the war just because we want to record it.”
“No, I won’t,” Liu Qingfeng said. “In fact, there are not many core forces in the war. I’ve also been waiting for Lord Nan Shan’s army of 200,000.”
“Yes, our army of 200,000 is here, which consists of 130,000 Elixir Realm Early-Stage cultivators, 50,000 Elixir Realm Middle-Stage ones, and 20,000 Elixir Realm Last-Stage ones,” said Lord Nan Shan.
“Good. These people can really alter the situation in some Sub-Star Areas.” Liu Qingfeng nodded and said, “In the war of the Sea Dragon Star Area, most of the soldiers are still in the Elixir Realm. A majority of the Yuan Ying Realm cultivators are team leaders. But there are very few Yuan Ying Realm cultivators. As for the specific arrangement, we have to study the situation before we decide on it. By the way, the small aircraft for filming are at ready. There is a total of 2,000 of them, which can probably record various detailed scenes. Those aircraft can also fly in the universe at a very fast speed. In fact, they are pretty much the same as scout aircraft.”
“There are so many?” Zi Yan said in surprise. “Uncle Liu, you’ve got all that ready?”
“Yes.”
Liu Qingfeng said, “As for the shooting team, I’ll tell Li Mu and the people of the Heavenly Knights Sect and Mount New Moon to cooperate with you. Also, I think Elder Yue can lead the team. In the current situation, Elder Yue doesn’t need to take actions at all. The only challenge is that we may not be able to shoot the Tiger Talisman Royal Family’s actions.”
Speaking of this, Liu Qingfeng sighed before continuing with a smile, “But even if we don’t put them on camera, this battle will still be fantastic.”
“It’s actually very easy to film the Tiger Talisman Royal Family. I’ll go tell them about this,” Yue Wuwei said calmly.
Though his tone was calm, what he said was astonishing.
His words terrified Li Hao and the others.
“No!”
“You want to talk to the Tiger Talisman Royal Family about this? That won’t work!”
“Elder Yue! Don’t be impulsive,” Li Hao said hastily. “The Tiger Talisman Royal Family now has at least one cultivator in the God Transformation Realm holding down the fort. They must have cast an inescapable net over their home planet in the Sea Central Star Area. It might be possible to negotiate with them about this filming task before the war starts. If we have to, let me contact them.”
“I’ll go there in person.” Yue Wuwei looked up at the sky and said, “It’s morning. I’ll be back before evening. If you want to start the war, you can do it at any time.”
“Elder Yue, are you really going there?”
Liu Qingfeng did not know Elder Yue would react like this. It was too unexpected and scary.
At this critical juncture, they couldn’t afford to let anything happen to Elder Yue. After all, he was the God Transformation Realm master holding down the fort for them.
If they lost him, they would no longer have the power to continue fighting.
Originally, with Elder Yue and the hesitating Guang family of the North Ice Star, their strength was pretty strong.
Regarding spaceships, since they had gained 10 Thunder Kings, their strength in exploring the universe was superior to the opposite side.
As long as they were a little bit stronger than the opponent, Liu Qingfeng would hatch plans to make good use of this small advantage.
He already had made many plans and discussed this with Li Hao. The two of them already knew how things stood and what their goals of the recent days were.
But that was under the premise that Yue Wuwei was there with them.
“It’s no big deal. Just let Elder Yue go,” Zhang Han suddenly remarked.
With a smile playing on the corner of his mouth, he said, “Maybe Elder Yue knows someone from the other side.”
“Can this really work?” Zhang Mu asked in a concerned tone.
But he knew that since the two had said so, they were sure they could make it happen. Still, this was too incredible.
“Let’s go. See you in the evening.”
Yue Wuwei shook his head. With a stir of his mind, a two-meter-long boat materialized in front of him.
He jumped in, looked at Lisa and Yue Xiaonao, and said, “Have a rest here. Xiaonao, I’ll bring you something delicious when I come back in the evening.”
“Okay, take care.” Yue Xiaonao was not as carefree as usual. There was a concerned look on her face.
Seeing her worried expression, Yue Wuwei seemed quite satisfied.
“Swoosh!”
The boat turned into a streak of light. It flew into the air at an extremely fast speed and left the Cloud Shadow Sky.
Li Hao hurriedly whipped out a piece of equipment the size of his palm. When he switched it on, he heard a nonstop alarm.
“Beep, beep, beep, beep…”
“Alert, an unknown object has left the planet.
“An unknown object entered the secondary space in one second.”
Li Hao was flabbergasted.
“He entered the secondary space in a second! What the hell? Are you kidding me?”
Li Hao was gripped by indescribable shock. At last, he looked at Zhang Han with a strange gaze and inquired, “Ahem, what is the boat that Elder Yue boarded?”
“It’s a great treasure.” Zhang Han chuckled but did not give him a detailed answer.
It was because he was not sure what grade that spirit treasure was in either.
“Alright.”
Li Hao laughed wryly.
He was truly unable to see through the abilities of a master in the God Transformation Realm.
“Have a seat, everyone.” Li Mu said hospitably. “I’ve prepared tea. Let’s chat over some tea.”
Everyone then took their seats.
Lord Nan Shan and Lord Liu were whispering to each other.
“Sect Leader Li seems to be a big shot.”
“Is this planet his? He owns a planet? How awesome!”
“There is going to be an interstellar war? Sounds impressive. I’m already worried that our little force might not be enough to handle this.”
“…”
The two were communicating through the Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
Although they were deeply astonished, they managed to keep a calm face.
After all, Lord Nan Shan was already one of the two lords of the Dark Shadow Clan on Earth.
There were three lords in the King’s Domain. The third one was Lisa, who was sitting next to them. However, Lisa was not an orthodox member of the Dark Shadow Clan after all. She could at most be regarded as half a member.
Thus, essentially, he and Lord Dong Gu were the only lords there.
However, Lord Liu and the other True Kings had all felt that cultivation had become much simpler after they entered the Sea Dragon Star Area.
Lord Liu also said that it might not take long for him to break through to the Yuan Ying Realm. If the time came, he could enter the Yuan Ying Realm very fast.
“F*ck!”
When Lord Nan Shan heard that, he was suddenly under a lot of pressure.
“I have to work harder, too.”
“Let me explain with the projector.”
Liu Qingfeng glanced at Li Hao. Seeing that Li Hao motioned for him to speak, he pressed a blue button on a machine next to him.
“Buzz!”
Rays of light gathered together.
A three-dimensional image was formed in the air in front of him.
“This is the map of the entire Sea Dragon Star Area.”
“I’ve made some adjustments about the directions.”
Liu Qingfeng explained, “The top, bottom, left, and right sides represent the north, south, west, and east respectively. Because this map is three-dimensional, I arranged the places of the Sea Dragon Star Area in a way similar to that of Earth. The northernmost area is the Chaotic Region. The void there is danger-ridden and deserted.
“As a whole, it looks like a flood dragon. Well, it’s perhaps a fat flood dragon. Our Cloud Star Area is in the northeast. The Sea Central Star Area is at the heart of the Sea Dragon Star Area. There are many planets here, which is also the science and technology center of the Sea Dragon Star Area.
“There are more than five million planets in the entire Sea Dragon Star Area. It’s a huge number. In the Chaotic Region, there are many barren planets rich in metal and mineral resources. The area it occupies is very large. If the Sea Dragon Star Area were Earth, this Chaotic Region would be as large as Russia. Except for those planets that have not been explored and the uninhabited planets, the Sub-Star Area we are in is divided into 18 districts.
“A ton of planets are inhabited by people, but there are only a few thousand important ones.
“Right now, we’re mainly fighting to seize more planets with abundant resources. We and our enemy have more than a hundred such planets, which are our battlefields.
“The world is now dominated by three forces. The red parts on the map are the Tiger Talisman Royal Family’s territories.”
With Liu Qingfeng’s words, many planets in the image became red dots.
“The blue ones are ours.
“The white ones belong to the neutral forces, such as the Sea Spa Alliance and the Snowfall Alliance.”
Soon, the territories of the three major forces were displayed in front of everyone.
“In the sea of planets, there are always some overlapping areas, which are the places where battles break out frequently. I call these places the Principal Battlefield.”
