Big Data Cultivation

"This area is a bit dangerous," replied a True Immortal solemnly to Feng Jun’s question, "We’ve encountered the void nomads. True Sage has discovered several treasure-finding spots but still feels it’s better not to leave for now."

Feng Jun paused for a moment before replying, "Void nomads are just that, aren’t they? Can’t we just avoid them?"

For most void creatures, void nomads are quite terrifying, but they’re not unsolvable. If discovered early, they can be avoided. Back then, the Rift Space Devouring Bee Swarm also avoided the void nomads.

As long as you don’t hard counter them, with cultivators’ perception, avoiding them ahead of time isn’t a problem.

"But nomads are really terrifying," remarked a True Immortal, her face visibly unsettled, clearly scared.

"Indeed, not too terrifying," another True Immortal said with a cheerful smile, "The main issue is this Broken Stone Zone, where the energy inside is quite chaotic; the deeper you go, the harder it gets. But because of the energy storm, the bad things have been eliminated..."

"So, the deeper you go, the better the treasures. We won’t rush to leave."

Feng Jun smiled indifferently, "Is that so? The Void Chaos Stone... not a good thing either?"

The Void Chaos Stone, also known as Light Chaos Stone, Light Yin-Yang Stone, exists only in voids and greatly aids cultivators in enlightenment. For cultivators of the Tianqin Plane, it’s a rare find.

Once, someone offered ten threads of Xuanhuang Qi for a Void Chaos Stone but didn’t succeed.

Someone also used a Void Chaos Stone to easily progress from the Emergence Stage to the Divine Spirit.

Anyway, these are all legendary things; for Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, it’s just hearing tales—really out of reach.

However, the characteristic of the Void Chaos Stone is well-known: lightweight, sturdy, but insufficient hardness; its structure cannot withstand damage, and upon encountering strong external force, it instantly turns to nothing.

Feng Jun wasn’t arguing but just casually mentioned it.

"You’re talking about exceptions; I’m referring to general phenomena," the True Immortal was a bit unconvinced, "If it can’t endure honing, there aren’t many good things... A sharp sword is forged through grinding, plum scents come from bitter cold, am I right?"

"Indeed," Feng Jun nodded and gave a thumbs up, "True Immortal’s great talent, admirable!"

What he was actually thinking was: are you also an Earth native?

But he wouldn’t be particular, and with a good attitude from the other party, "I’m just casually speaking, not a great talent. Still, True Sage has discovered many treasure spots, and there’s certainly a reason for such arrangements."

What’s the reason? Just wanting to take a free minibus ride, Feng Jun chuckled, "Hopefully, he can receive the message and return promptly."

Not long after saying these words, less than a day’s time, Han Hai True Sage returned.

He still concealed himself in a vague light shadow, calmly questioning, "Why did you just come over?"

"Over at the Insect World, they’re still fighting intensely," Feng Jun’s response was straightforward, "I just came to see if there’s anything I can help with; if not, I’ll return to the Insect World."

"Of course, your help is needed," Han Hai True Sage raised a hand, directly capturing him, "You can’t leave; you need to arrange things here."

Both came to a void location where Han Hai True Sage solemnly spoke, "I need to go back."

Feng Jun raised his eyebrows, not speaking, just looking at him nonchalantly.

Han Hai True Sage knew he was waiting for an explanation, but he didn’t think it necessary, "Calculate the cost of entering and exiting the void one more time."

"It’s not about Spirit Stones," Feng Jun straightforwardly shook his head. He already felt the other party doesn’t like wasting words, so he directly clarified.

"At the Insect World, Xuanhuang and Yuangang have opened a second battlefield. I am responsible for coordination and rear arrangements; being able to spare time here is already quite challenging... this still accounts for the void’s ten-to-one time passage."

"Insect World," Han Hai True Sage paused, impatiently said, "Do you think that’s more important than the void?"

Feng Jun was still honest, "Isn’t it incomparable? Eliminating the Insect World ensures Tianqin’s safety. The gains from both sides aren’t easy to compare; the key is... there are still mortals over there viewed as food by insects. Cultivators should be worthy in their hearts."

Han Hai True Sage pondered for a moment and solemnly spoke, "I discovered a Void Wraith Swarm here."

Void Wraith Swarm? Feng Jun was startled, "Isn’t it said... it’s long gone?"

"As long as conditions for wraith birth exist, how could it ever be completely eliminated?" Han Hai True Sage had already divulged the secret, so he might as well make things clear, "It’s an Emergence Stage wraith, with more than a hundred small wraiths in its command."

Feng Jun pondered and asked, "It seems... not that many, do we need to go out and bring reinforcements?"

You’re quite a talker! Han Hai True Sage nearly rolled his eyes, but he still said straightforwardly, "I’ve heard you’re always concerned about your fellow disciples, do you think others aren’t concerned about their fellow disciples?"

So it’s about worrying about casualties! Feng Jun understood, and he even developed a bit of good impression towards Han Hai True Sage; sect elders like this are more worthy of respect. "Alright then, but I think we need to manage our time and plan our actions in the void ahead of time."

"I’ve already decided, I’ll invite Master Yangjing from the sect," Han Hai True Sage answered without hesitation. "Take me to the Ice Plate, wait for me for half a day... you can’t go directly to the Xuanshui Sect headquarters, can you?"

"I can’t," Feng Jun shook his head crisply, thinking to himself that even if he could go directly, Han Hai wouldn’t agree.

"You all wait here for a while," Han Hai True Sage turned his head to the Xuanshui Sect members and said, then flicked his sleeves, wrapping Feng Jun’s waist, "Let’s go."

Feng Jun took Han Hai True Sage to the Ice Plains, and the next moment, Han Hai True Sage vanished, leaving just one sentence behind, "Half a day, you can take the time to visit the Insect World."

What can be done in half a day? Feng Jun shook his head with a wry smile, yet he still went to the Insect World.

When he arrived at the Zhezhi star system, he notified Xia Nichang and others that he might leave for a while. After confirming that everyone received the message, he went to the Big Planet again—no way around it, he had gathered this team, he can’t just guide them but not support them.

After finishing these tasks, he returned to the Ice Plate and sensed his surroundings, realizing half a day had already passed, but Han Hai True Sage hadn’t arrived yet.

However, he wasn’t worried. Xuanshui Sect has a transmission array here, if they really want to come, it would be quick.

About an hour and a half later, two figures suddenly appeared in the air, one was the blurry figure of Han Hai True Sage, the other was a handsome young man, smiling in his eyes, seeming like a charismatic scholar.

Feng Jun was a bit astonished, "Who is this?"

"My Master Yangjing," Han Hai True Sage replied impatiently, "He’s been like this for four thousand years."

Feng Jun dared not speak further and instead cupped his hands, "Greetings to Yang Jing True Sage."

"Alright, let’s get moving, we can talk on the way," Yang Jing True Sage waved cheerfully, then pointed at Feng Jun.

Feng Jun didn’t feel any malice, so he didn’t dodge... not that he had the strength to evade anyway.

Yang Jing True Sage indeed had no intention to harm him, a substantial white light emerged from his fingertip, wrapping Feng Jun’s waist.

Han Hai True Sage also flicked his sleeves, wrapping Feng Jun’s waist, "Let’s go."

After arriving in the void, Han Hai True Sage didn’t release Feng Jun, he just glanced at Yang Jing, "Master, follow me."

The three of them quickly traversed the void, taking about four days to reach a rubble belt, similar in scale to the Star-Devouring Demon Rubble Belt, but seemingly with less violent energy.

"Here will do," Han Hai True Sage stopped, then looked at Feng Jun, "You go bring half of the Xuanshui Sect people here, there’s no need for them to come for a while."

"That might not work," Feng Jun shook his head, although knowing it might offend the other party, he had to make himself clear, "I still need to escort Yang Jing True Sage away, please give me a timeline."

"Give you a timeline?" Yang Jing True Sage glanced at him with surprise, though smiling, his bewilderment was evident, "You want to set a deadline for me?"

"If I’ve been offensive, please forgive me, True Sage," Feng Jun cupped his hands and spoke with a steady voice, "I’m bringing people here, yes, to charge fees, but the number of True Sages should be controlled. If Luan Xiong True Sage comes, I won’t be able to hold back Han Hai True Sage. Xuanshui Sect can have two True Sages this time, but other sects... I can’t handle it."

Yang Jing True Sage looked at Han Hai True Sage without speaking—I’m not familiar with this guy, you handle it.

Han Hai True Sage thought for a moment before answering, "I’m also not sure when we can annihilate the Void Wraith Swarm, so I can’t give a specific time. How about I owe you a favor?"

Feng Jun thought for a moment and shook his head, "No need for favors, how about this, before leaving, I’ll first escort Yang Jing True Sage away without letting others know, also requesting Xuanshui Sect to keep it confidential for me, is that possible?"

Yang Jing True Sage raised his eyebrows wanting to speak, but eventually stayed silent. However, Han Hai True Sage nodded, "Alright."

Feng Jun pulled out his mobile phone and swiped it, vanishing from sight. Only then did Yang Jing True Sage speak up, "This little fellow... I’ve heard of him for a while, but I didn’t expect he really doesn’t hold True Sages in his eyes."

"Actually, he’s talking about rules, I think that’s quite good," Han Hai True Sage didn’t blindly agree with his master, "A person without long-term plans will surely have immediate worries; he’s a smart man."

"Smart doesn’t necessarily mean sensible," Yang Jing True Sage shook his head, smiling, "He’s still overcorrecting."

Han Hai True Sage didn’t want to pursue this topic, "Should we bring some Nascent Soul disciples to help block them?"

"Not necessarily Nascent Soul," Yang Jing True Sage shook his head, "Golden Core is also fine, but they must cultivate the Yang-energy. The cultivation technique for overcoming and controlling is indeed powerful; otherwise, why invite me? You alone would be sufficient!"

If Feng Jun heard this, he would certainly be shocked. It turns out Han Hai sought reinforcements not merely because he couldn’t beat them or sympathize with his fellow sect members, but because his cultivation technique is countered!
