Big Data Cultivation

The people from the Luo Family Ancestral Hall have arrived, and the next step is verification work, with some people busy analyzing information.

Feng Jun felt a bit idle at this moment, as he couldn’t contribute, so he greeted everyone, "I’ll go into the void to bring the people out; they’ve stayed a considerable time this time."

Han Hai True Sage had no comment; he was quite patient. However, Wei Sancai volunteered, expressing his desire to see the void himself.

Ordinarily, Feng Jun should agree to such an enthusiastic offer, but he eventually replied tactfully: Bringing a True Sage into the void would be too taxing for me, perhaps another time.

Shortly after, Luo Shiqi also jumped on the bandwagon, asking if Mountain Master Feng could take some Luo Family members the next time he journeyed into the void.

Of course, Feng Jun couldn’t agree to this. He replied that until the perpetrator is found, there are currently no plans to take anyone on a treasure hunt in the void—my own death isn’t a big deal, but if someone can’t return from the void, that would be a major issue.

This reason was indeed compelling—so much so that not even the Luo Family nor Han Hai True Sage could offer a rebuttal.

After Feng Jun disappeared, Wei Sancai glared at Luo Shiqi and said, "Your family’s suspicions haven’t been cleared yet, and you’re thinking about going into the void? How can you be so shameless?"

Luo Shiqi initially didn’t want to engage with him, but the words were too harsh, so he replied, "Mountain Master Feng is only considering the cultivators’ safety. Don’t project your pettiness onto others’ magnanimity!"

"I’m petty?" Wei Sancai sneered, "It’s your Luo Family that’s brazen, asking for anything... Han Hai True Sage, am I right?"

Han Hai True Sage remained silent for quite a while before responding, "If you want to go into the void, at least queue up at White Pebble Beach. Expecting Mountain Master Feng to fetch you is impossible."

In fact, he wanted to add that even the Xuanshui Sect doesn’t have that privilege, but considering it would undermine his sect’s dignity, he refrained.

Feng Jun gathered everyone in the void over three days. This time, there were casualties; the Xuanshui Sect encountered a Void Underworld Beast and rashly attacked it, resulting in one death and seven or eight injuries.

However, they did not attribute the blame to Feng Jun, as Mountain Master Feng had initially warned them that the void was dangerous, and they needed to learn to avoid adversaries. Unfortunately, the deceased from the Xuanshui Sect underestimated the Void Underworld Beast and paid the price for their arrogance.

Among the clan practitioners, there were also some injured; this was normal. The fact that Feng Jun’s previous trips into the void resulted in no significant losses was the anomaly.

Due to the slower flow of time in the void, Feng Jun didn’t rush to escort everyone out after regrouping them. Instead, he recounted what had occurred at White Pebble Beach, stating that the next entry into the void had yet to be determined.

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately outraged: So we almost couldn’t come back?

Even cultivators who had little interaction with Feng Jun couldn’t bear it upon hearing this, let alone knowing the void venture could be indefinitely postponed.

Everyone unanimously declared that once they returned, they would definitely mobilize various forces to unearth the culprit behind it all.

This time, Feng Jun didn’t take them back to White Pebble Beach but delivered them to Lantern Town, which wasn’t far, just over five thousand miles away. However, this distance was enough to escape the range of the Space Annihilation Technique.

After reaching White Pebble Beach, Feng Jun promptly sent the Xuanshui Sect disciples to the Ice Plate, partly because they had casualties and injured, and also because he still needed to board Tianqin.

As for the Wei Family juniors, Feng Jun didn’t bother about them further—White Pebble Beach had True Immortal from the Wei Family, and although these people needed to recuperate, White Pebble Beach could meet their basic needs.

After leaving the Ice Plate, Feng Jun sought an inconspicuous place and charged Stone Ring for three hours before heading to the Xin Mo Plate again.

He had been away for about half a day, and by now, there had been some progress; the affairs of the Luo Family Ancestral Hall were not closely related to him, but a long list of suspects had been compiled.

Feng Jun tilted his head in thought and asked aloud, "How long would it take to thoroughly sort through these?"

"About three days," Luo Yuanwu replied solemnly, "We’ve dispatched more people from the clan, sorting out the prime suspects within three days shouldn’t be a problem."

The Luo Family disciples were also under significant pressure, with the Grand Elder keeping a hawk-eyed watch on them, and two True Sages in attendance, all awaiting their progress. How could ordinary people withstand such scrutiny?

Feng Jun took the list, tried deducing a few names, and found little effect, so he temporarily gave up.

Worried that Han Hai True Sage and Wei Sancai were bored, he casually asked them if they wanted to visit the Insect World.

Wei Sancai readily accepted, but Han Hai True Sage seemed a bit hesitant, "If we don’t keep watch here, aren’t we afraid that someone continues the sabotage?"

So he still hadn’t let go of his suspicion towards the Luo Family.

However, Feng Jun, who had learned the inside story from the Big Boss, was reassured about the Luo Family and said there was no need to overly worry here.

Luo Shiqi also overheard their conversation and felt a mix of emotions, but regardless, Feng Jun’s willingness to trust him was a piece of good news.

As for going to the Insect World, since they didn’t invite him, he won’t actively apply either. It’s not that he’s hung up on appearances; the key is that the Insect World doesn’t tempt him much—he’s lived long enough and seen plenty of alien worlds.

Moreover, the Insect World is developed by two major sects, and the treatment for clan practitioners definitely won’t be great.

Luo Shiqi also hasn’t forgotten that the Xuanyuan Family suffered great losses due to their expeditions to alien worlds.

Of course, another important point is that this is the place where Luo Family ancestors perished; being distracted before understanding this is disrespectful to Luo Family ancestors.

Thus, Feng Jun directly brought two True Sages who reached the Nascent Soul stage and a True Immortal to the Zheshi Star System to observe the situation here.

Xia Nichang and others were conducting the final cleanup work; most insects were exterminated, and most cultivators were searching for mines.

Upon meeting Feng Jun, Xia Nichang indicated that leaving thirty to forty people here is enough; others want to return to the Big Planet to rest, and then they can swap teams to attack other star systems—she hopes to focus on the systems where Luan Xiong and Tuotuo True Sage are located.

Feng Jun frowned slightly, "Why leave thirty or forty people behind? Staying here is very unsafe."

Xia Nichang explained that these individuals have two reasons for wanting to stay here.

The first is to completely clear out all insects, including insect eggs—they have to admit, the Tianqin cultivators have this good habit, although collecting insect eggs might be to raise pets.

The second reason is the mineral discovery here, which will certainly require mining. The people Feng Jun brought from White Pebble Beach are fine—they work for Mountain Master Feng, and if they can’t bear to leave the minerals, they can trade with those sect cultivators.

But sect cultivators are comparatively difficult; if they can’t bear to abandon the minerals, they’d have to risk mining—after all, fighting in alien worlds is precisely for resources. Although there are humans here, the main reason for fighting alien worlds is not saving the same race!

"Insects are fine to deal with," Wei Sancai said enthusiastically, patting his chest, "I’ll help them handle it, insect eggs are easy to deal with too."

After speaking, he flickered and disappeared.

"Mining is also manageable," Feng Jun continued, "just record the locations and sell the information to the two sects. Xuanhuang and Yuangang can afford it; although selling it like this is cheaper, mining here is very risky. You should advise everyone to consider carefully."

Xia Nichang nodded, "Okay, no problem... In fact, I also think what they’re doing is inappropriate, unfortunately, I can’t convince them. It’s much easier with your support."

"I’ll notify them," Han Hai True Sage chimed in, not sounding very pleased, "they are so reckless, Xuanshui Sect disciples went to the Void, basically putting themselves to death... Will they die if they earn a little less?"

As he faded from sight, Xia Nichang turned to Feng Jun in amazement, "Brought two more True Sages, did you?"

"Let them gain some experience," Feng Jun managed a slight smile, "I’m dealing with some trouble I encountered in Tianqin."

Xia Nichang raised an eyebrow, "What kind of trouble requires the intervention of two True Sages... Why not bring Luan Xiong as well?"

"The perpetrator hasn’t been found yet," Feng Jun spread his hands with a bitter smile, "if it hadn’t affected me, I wouldn’t have come so late."

"Who says you’re late?" Xia Nichang shook her head indifferently, "If you arrived early, the insects wouldn’t be completely cleaned out yet, it’s only now that persuading people to leave is convenient."

When Han Hai True Sage persuaded people to leave, he did it with surprising assertiveness. He toured six planets, directly using his divine thought to inform everyone: stop mining, sell the information to the two sects, those who don’t wish to leave don’t have to, but Mountain Master Feng won’t be returning for anyone.

He didn’t even reveal his identity; he simply notified everyone in this straightforward manner.

However, these cultivators are minimally at the Golden Core stage, capable of perceiving that the one releasing such divine thought is a True Sage?

Being a True Sage is sufficient, though stating Han Hai True Sage’s name would produce a slightly better effect, it’s unnecessary.

Approximately after a day, Wei Sancai had eliminated all the insects and their eggs, and the other cultivators had gathered together.

The Second Battlefield has a warship, but Feng Jun thought it too slow, and he didn’t want to wait, so he directly applied the transportation capability, leading everyone back to the Big Planet.

Things on the Big Planet were lively, occurring without any danger. Some people were eager to move, hoping to fight on the frontline.

Feng Jun advised them to rest first, then together with Han Hai and Wei Sancai, they reached the Xingzheng Star of the First Battlefield.

The three of them had been there for less than five minutes when a True Infant flew over—it was Ban Yu True Sage from the Artifact Refining Path, "Two at Nascent Soul stage... Hey, Wei Sancai, didn’t you perish?"

"What kind of talk is that?" Wei Sancai retorted, rolling his eyes, though he dared not act as tough as when facing Luo Shiqi—in front of a True Sage from the Artifact Refining Path, especially when the Wei Family might require Artifact Refining Path for artifact crafting in the future.

Ban Yu paid no heed to his reaction and turned to Han Hai True Sage, "Hey, you’re here? That’s perfect."
