Big Data Cultivation

Feng Jun heard that Ancestor Huang Fu wanted to borrow Liu Yiyi, which was a bit strange, but Huang Fu Flawless explained it to him.

It turns out that although Ancestor Huang Fu has received invitations from several major clans, while thanking them for their recruitment, he must also consider how to hunt for treasure after entering the Void.

Collaborating with major clans ensures all basic conditions are secure, but what if disputes arise during the treasure hunt?

These major clans, considering Feng Jun’s influence, can invite Ancestor Huang Fu to join. However, once in the Void, when Feng Jun isn’t present, how much Ancestor Huang Fu can gain is truly anyone’s guess.

Ancestor Huang Fu may not know the Earth Realm’s idiom "The giant is alone," but his years weren’t lived in vain. Treasure hunting doesn’t just rely on luck; it also depends on the frequency of your actions. No matter how good your luck is, if you don’t have the opportunity to act, it’s futile.

Therefore, he developed a thought of forming a team by himself. Those he had good relations with, who had supported him before, could look out for each other. Although his cultivation level isn’t high, he thought that by leveraging Liu Yiyi’s influence, he should be able to have a say in the team.

He didn’t demand to control the team; being able to speak up and have his words respected was enough.

After listening to Huang Fu Flawless, Feng Jun shook his head speechlessly. Loose cultivators really have it tough, "You go talk to Liu Yiyi yourself; I won’t force her."

Not long after Huang Fu Flawless left, Liu Yiyi came over. She knew Mountain Master Feng didn’t want to force her, but if she believed she could make all the decisions independently, that would be too naive.

So she recounted the events and proactively asked for advice, "Boss, do you suggest I go?"

"I’ve already said, make your own decision," Feng Jun said he didn’t mind, but since she came for consultation, he was also satisfied. Thus, he added a couple of sentences, "Going with them to the Void, no one would dare to make things difficult for you, but the Void itself is dangerous."

"Then I’ll go," Liu Yiyi clenched her small fist, firmly stating, "I should also strive for some cultivation resources; I can’t just rely on you, boss!"

You are my woman, who else would I support but you? Feng Jun chuckled, recalling how the Earth Realm is now emphasizing self-reliance. He nodded, "Then go, remember, safety first, treasure hunting is secondary."

After Liu Yiyi left, Zhang Caixin also expressed that she wanted to go. Feng Jun directly detained her, stating that it’s fine to visit beautiful places, but if she wants to go, she should wait until after achieving Golden Core.

Then, Feng Jun sent them into the Void. This time, there were over ninety people, with more than sixty having obtained their tickets through loans.

The more than ninety people were divided into six groups, with the Xuanshui Sect having the most, totaling twenty-seven, including those at the Nascent Soul Middle Phase.

Feng Jun divided the Xuanshui Sect people into two groups as they brought two spatial physique female cultivators, which made dividing them more appropriate.

However, before splitting them up, he emphasized that he would be closing off for cultivation and didn’t know when he’d return. He wouldn’t be able to look after them like before, and if they found the separation unsafe, he could accommodate them together.

This was almost saying: the split is your choice, don’t blame me if something unexpected happens!

However, the sect’s disciples were quite bold, even a Golden Core Peak female cultivator chuckled nonchalantly, stating, we’re not afraid of accidents; indeed, we hope you have a long time closed off.

The Nascent Soul Middle Phase also said, we’ve prepared for a tough battle. You sending us here is already very appreciated... Oh, do you really not need anyone to protect you?

No need! Feng Jun obviously knew it was a polite expression. This nameless Nascent Soul was unaware before arriving at White Pebble Beach that he would advance, so clearly his target was the Void Treasure Hunt.

Among the remaining five groups, the one with Ancestor Huang Fu had the most people, surprisingly totaling twenty-five or twenty-six. Although his cultivation level was quite low, since he could enlist Liu Yiyi, others were willing to discuss matters with him, making this motley crew rather harmonious.

Not to be disrespectful, if his cultivation were truly high, others might not be so secure teaming with him.

In any case, he realized the concept of "better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix," and Feng Jun chose a suitable location for him.

Then Feng Jun returned to White Pebble Beach and made a round around the passage entrance, Big Planet, and the Ciansi Star System, observing the situation, but didn’t even visit the Luan Jiu Galaxy.

However, before heading to the front line, he encountered an unexpected situation where two True Immortals were attacked by the Insect Race, causing serious injuries. He decisively sent back seven True Immortals to the passage entrance to recuperate.

Then, he brought substitute True Immortals back. These seven were all allocated Nascent Souls by the two sects, not just the sect disciples, but looking at the Artifact Refining Path and Seven Emotions Path disciples, he knew these were deliberately arranged.

After sending people to the front line again, he greeted Fishing Sage and left, without deliberately greeting Yi Jue True Immortal.

About five days later, Yi Jue went to the Big Stone to rest, discovering some new faces. A brief inquiry revealed that Feng Jun had relaxed and sent another batch back to rest.

"I wonder how Huo Liu is doing in terms of rest and rejuvenation," Yi Jue felt a bit concerned about her fellow sect member, and she also felt a bit fatigued. Although she could easily endure for another four or five years, she had already gained some insights into the Emergence Stage.

Therefore, she thought it might be time to consider going back for some rest and rejuvenation. It wasn’t strictly necessary, but if she wanted to advance to the Emergence Stage quickly, she needed to protect her foundation. If an unforeseen circumstance affected her foundation and delayed her rank advancement, that would be unfortunate.

Thus she asked Elder Kumu directly, "Did Mountain Master Feng say when he’ll return?"

Kumu had just returned not long ago and didn’t know either, but a nearby True Immortal from the Xuanhuang Sect stated, "Mountain Master Feng won’t be coming back anytime soon; he’s in seclusion at White Pebble Beach to advance his rank."

"He’s advancing his rank?" Yi Jue’s expression slightly changed, and she remained silent for a long while.

"His rank advancement is practically guaranteed," the True Immortal from the Xuanhuang Sect answered earnestly, "He even declined our offer to be his protector... but someone of his caliber couldn’t possibly fail."

"Not even a word to me," Yi Jue’s face grew even more displeased, "Does he really think he’s that strong?"

"Come now, Yi Jue," Kumu sent a piece of Divine Sense, clearly understanding the relationship between Yi Jue and Feng Jun as an observer, "You’ve reached the Nascent Soul Peak, don’t lose your composure in front of juniors."

In fact, this True Immortal from the Xuanhuang Sect was over 300 years older than Yi Jue, yet was now being considered a junior.

But this was to be expected; he wasn’t part of the Spirit Plant Path or the Taixu Sect, so naturally, cultivation level mattered more.

"Lose my composure?" Yi Jue looked at Elder Kumu in surprise and asked using Divine Sense, "What did I do wrong?"

Elder Kumu couldn’t pinpoint anything and could only cough lightly, "Anyway, his rank advancement is an expected outcome; no need to worry."

"I... I’m not worried about him," Yi Jue denied vehemently, "I was thinking of going back for some rest... Feng Jun’s misleading me!"

"Hmm, I understand," Elder Kumu’s face remained expressionless, "He’s misleading you!"

How ambiguous is that! Yi Jue glared at him, "Did he say when he’d be back?"

"I wasn’t around when he left," Elder Kumu answered, "But given his extraordinary talent, advancing from the Fourth Layer to the Fifth Layer Golden Core... two to three years should be enough, maybe even less than a year."

A year? You’re underestimating Feng Jun! Yi Jue, as a True Immortal, knew just how quickly Feng Jun could advance in rank, though she had no intention of elaborating on it, "And Old Fisher really, such a big matter without informing us."

Kumu didn’t know how to respond, thinking to himself how discussing True Sage matters recklessly was something he dared not do.

Old Fisher’s reaction was much slower—after all, it was a name mentioned in the Divine Sense of peak True Immortals, even if the emotions were somewhat intense.

More than ten hours later, he returned leisurely and instructed everyone, "Just now, it felt like something connected with me in the depths of consciousness. Everyone, be on guard; maybe those bugs are up to something.

I was thinking about you a little! Yi Jue True Immortal understood this very well, though she had no intention of explaining.

She was more interested in another topic, "These bugs... what kind of tricks could they play, coming up with a few Emergence Stage ones?"

She really thought little of the bugs’ Emergence Stage; she also knew that True Immortals from the Second Battlefield had encountered the Ancestral God’s divine descent of the bugs, but on Xingzheng Star, she’d faced a divine descent and found it manageable. At that time, Ren Tu True Sage sustained the force with just an umbrella.

Yi Jue believed that if it weren’t for concerns about exposure, she might not even need Ren Tu True Sage’s help and could handle it herself.

Previously, she had snatched a God Statue, leading to entangled karmic connections. It was Luan Xiong True Sage who helped resolve it, but that could only be attributed to a rule issue. The karmic weight of an Emergence Sage’s path of Incense Fire Ascension couldn’t say her combat strength was poor.

On the Ciansi Star System, Feng Jun and others saw the Ancestral God of the Insect Race’s divine descent, mighty in strength, causing many True Immortals to falter. However, Yi Jue saw Ren Tu True Sage topple five temples in one breath!

Thus, these Ancestral Gods’ combat strength was no big deal; Feng Jun and his companions were caught in a passive stance primarily because the True Immortals’ combat strength was too weak—most were early-stage True Immortals, with only a few intermediates and none at High-Rank.

"A few Emergence Stage ones? Maybe a dozen," True Sage Old Fisher spoke solemnly, "Feng Jun said that the Insect Race has a homeland called the Ciansi Star System, where they could muster up a dozen Emergence Stage ones."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, not only Yi Jue was shocked, but several True Immortals’ expressions changed as well.

"Yes, it’s true, Luan Xiong True Sage did a Soul Search," True Sage Old Fisher replied casually, "The Insect Race that did a cosmic leap last time from the Ciansi Star System barely succeeded in their attempt."
