Chapter 846: Heading for the Stars

Translator: jinzeffect

“The demons wouldn’t withdraw without a reason. It seems like another plane is having troubles.”

The Iron Cloud Saint Lord roamed the star domain regularly and was naturally knowledgeable. He immediately guessed the probable cause for the demons’ withdrawal.

The Saint Spirit Continent’s Swordsmen Guild headquarters was having a rather suppressing atmosphere.

In this war, the casualties of normal people were truly miserable, it was the same for the saints. In the Saint Spirit Continent’s Swordsmen Guild headquarters, there were already two saints killed. It was imaginable how many human saints were killed in this war.

“The Tiger Fang Sword Saint probably died in the hands of a demon overlord. The Hundred Flower Sword Saint died because of a scheme.” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint said in a heavy tone.

“Who is it?” Li Fuchen asked.

“Listen to this.” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint took out an elder token and poured his qi inside.

“Zhu…”

The Hundred Flower Sword Saint only said one word and her voice suddenly fell silent, as though she was interrupted.

“The Zhu Clan has gone overboard.” The Phenomenon Sword Saint said with anger.

“The Zhu Clan again?” Li Fuchen’s eyes flashed with cold light.

During this war, the Zhu Clan didn’t contribute much. There were some that saw the Zhu Clan’s saints touring before coming back and didn’t even participate in battle.

“It isn’t the time to fall out with the Zhu Clan yet, let’s discuss after the guildmaster returns.” The Phenomenon Sword Saint said slowly.

The others from the Zhu Clan weren’t terrifying, but the Zhu Clan’s no.1 ancestor had immeasurable strength. He possessed the supreme rate weapon, Fire God Ax and various apex cardinal artifacts. Let alone a peak level saint, even a saint lord might not be able to suppress the Zhu Clan’s no.1 ancestor.

This was also the reason why the Zhu Clan could stand at the top of the Deep Blue Plane for so many years. Otherwise, just the Zhu Clan’s array wasn’t for the Zhu Clan to prosper.

The Mystic Deep Sword Saint and Li Fuchen stayed silent.

Li Fuchen didn’t know what the Mystic Deep Sword Saint was thinking, but he knew that if he had the opportunity, he wouldn’t hesitate to slaughter the Zhu Clan’s saints.

However, before this, he must not bring his family and friends to the Saint Spirit Continent first.

Apart from methods to deceive continent willpowers, saints wouldn’t be able to enter mid-class continents. For Law Phase Realm emperors to enter the Emperor Sky Continent to seek trouble, it was truly to court death. The willpower sculpture left behind by Li Fuchen wasn’t just for show.

The East Unicorn Continent was a good choice, but Li Fuchen was worried that it would upgrade to a high-class continent in the future. By then, saints would still be able to enter freely.

…

After the demons withdrew, the waters of the Deep Blue Plane were still in unrest. In the dark, there were still surging waves.

The humans suffered too great of a loss. The Water Heaven Pavilion which was at the bottom of the top ten sects of the Deep Blue Plane had lost all ten of their saints in battle. More than half of the elders and disciples were either dead or injured. They were basically wiped out from the list of top ten. A sect without a saint couldn’t even exist in name.

The Water Heaven Pavilion was situated on Water Heaven Island near the Saint Yang Continent. Once the saints perished, the sect’s resources were all targeted by the various factions. Among them, the demonic beast factions were the most brazen and were publicly plundering from the Water Heaven Pavilion’s disciples.

Finally, with the help of Iron Cloud Saint Lord, the Water Heaven Pavilion managed to protect their base.

In fact, the Iron Cloud Saint Lord was furious and wished he could slaughter the demonic beast factions.

But from what he knew, there were at least two beast sovereigns hidden in the ocean. They didn’t appear during the war, but it didn’t mean they wouldn’t appear while he was killing the beast factions. By then, there would be another war.

(Note: So for humans, it will be saint — saint lord — heaven lord. Demons will be overlord — liege — hell liege. Demonic beasts will be overlord — sovereign — hell sovereign)

…

“The war has ended. It is time to roam the universe.”

Li Fuchen had a great amount of resources, and if he converted them to peak-grade spirit stones, they would number in tens of thousands. However, in the Deep Blue Plane, this amount of resources still couldn’t make any significant changes. He would only be able to exchange for some resources that were useful to him.

In Li Fuchen’s opinion, it was still more practical to have peak-grade spirit stones. It was too troublesome to exchange for other resources.

On each of the nine high-class continents, there was an unidirectional teleportation array that headed for the Deep Blue Star. The Saint Spirit Continent’s teleportation array was located on the Saint Spirit Mountain.

On this day, Li Fuchen arrived on the Saint Spirit Mountain.

On the peak of the mountain, there was a teleportation array there.

“Each teleportation needs five peak-grade spirit stones. It is something not regular saints can afford.”

Saints required an excessive amount of peak-grade spirit stones and would basically use it all up, therefore, they wouldn’t have any stock.

Li Fuchen took out five peak-grade spirit stones. These five peak-grade spirit stones were actually gifted by the Phenomenon Sword Saint and the Mystic Deep Sword Saint. Li Fuchen didn’t take advantage of the duo and offered resources that were very useful to saints in exchange.

After offering five peak-grade spirit stones, there was a pillar of light that burst towards the sky.

…

The Deep Blue Star was situated 30 light-years away from the Deep Blue Plane.

The so-called light-year was the distance traveled by light in one year. In simple calculations, one light-year would be close to 19 trillion miles. It was a truly horrifying number and even saints would need a very long time to complete this distance.

On the Deep Blue Star’s teleportation platform, a pillar of light descended and Li Fuchen’s figure appeared.

“There are stars?”

After landing on the Deep Blue Star, Li Fuchen felt the star law in the universe.

It was impossible to feel the star law on the plane, it was only possible within the stars.

If Li Fuchen could cultivate on the stars, he probably wouldn’t need the star gemstone and Fierce Sun Bead to reach the Hand of Sun.

“Without the teleportation array, I can only travel by using the star map.”

It was too dangerous to construct the teleportation array in flourishing zones of the universe. Each plane was a secret and apart from the people of the plane, there were only a rare few that knew of other planes. Once a plane was exposed, it would definitely be targeted by strong races.

Of course, a war between planes was only restricted to heaven lords. This was mainly due to the overwhelming lethality from human lords. They could easily eradicate a race and this probably violated the universe willpower’s fundamental rule.

After all, heaven and earth would always leave a path for survival.

Flying away from the Deep Blue Star, Li Fuchen started his journey.

According to the star map, five light-years away, there was a teleportation star. Using this star, he could teleport to a universe city, the Thousands Spirit City.

In the universe, each universe city was an unimaginable colossus. The Thousands Spirit City Lord, Thousands Spirit Heaven Lord was one of the top-notch heaven lords of the universe. Tens of millions of years ago, the Thousands Spirit Heaven Lord had already existed and would probably continue to exist. As compared to the Thousands Spirit Heaven Lord, many other heaven lords were just juniors and were far, far inferior in strength.

In the Thousands Spirit City, there were various races and it was truly flourishing. Li Fuchen was probably able to exchange all his resources into peak-grade spirit stones.

With increasing speed, Li Fuchen quickly exceeded the speed of light.

Traveling in the universe was much faster than traveling in planes. There weren’t that many restrictions and if one was capable enough, speed could continue to increase. Of course, one could also use shifting techniques or traveling methods. Take the Skyline Sword Art’s first move, Sky Earth Roam as an example, it allowed Li Fuchen’s speed to reach extreme limits. It was a pity that Li Fuchen’s cultivation was still inferior. If he reached a saint’s level, he could use this move to travel.
