Chapter 1814: Heading Towards Vermillion Phoenix
The very next morning, Chen Xiaobei moved Bei Xuan faction and the people of Bei Xuan into his Green Jade Gourd.
That way, they could move freely while Chen Xiaobei traveled.
When everyone was safely tucked away, Chen Xiaobei took out the returning bracelet. Its last location was marked at the secret cultivation room in the Tenshou Imperial Palace.
…
Upon arriving at the palace, Chen Xiaobei summoned the Tenshou emperor Wugui Osama.
As per Chen Xiaobei’s instruction, the emperor planted all 200 nuclear warheads in various army camps, armories and ordinance factories throughout the entire starfield.
A remote fuse was attached to the warheads so that they could be detonated simultaneously from a safe distance.
As a result, Tenshou’s military forces would be completely destroyed.
Chen Xiaobei took the detonator with him before giving the Tenshou emperor another secret mission.
It would be on hold and kept classified until the end of Saint Duke’s betrothal.
With all the preparations done and dusted in Tenshou, Chen Xiaobei had another eight days until the deadline of the betrothal. He was going to present Puti with the most staggering and mind-blowing gift ever.
…
After that, Chen XIaobei left Tenshou via the portal in the imperial city and travelled to Black Tortoise, which was at the lowest-level of Apocalypse Starfield.
Further up was White Tiger, then Vermillion Phoenix, before finally reaching Green Dragon which was also the continent closest to the Earth-God realm.
This time, Chen Xiaobei’s destination was Vermillion Phoenix where the Qin Family was.
Qin Yitian had proven herself to be reliable. Settling Bei Xuan faction within the Qin Family’s territory would ensure the safety of Chen Xiaobei’s people.
On top of that, they could also enjoy the dense and pure Spiritual Qi available in the top-ranking starfields.
With the Primordial Jade Divine Skill, the people of Bei Xuan could increase their cultivation as quickly as possible!
…
Qin Yitian was waiting for Chen Xiaobei in Black Tortoise.
“Ms. Qin! Why are you here? Haven’t I told you I can manage on my own?” said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
Qin Yitian shook her head. “You’ve never been to Vermillion Phoenix before. It’s unfamiliar to you. I would feel much better getting you there myself.”
“Alright, since you’re here already, I’ll go with you!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
“Good, let’s get to the portal!” answered Qin Yitian who then lead Chen Xiaobei to a high-tier portal.
Although all four continents belonged to the same starfield, great distance divided them.
Even the portal that connected them had to be of a higher grade as one went upward.
A bright light flashed, and Chen Xiaobei and Qin Yitian were sent to Vermillion Phoenix.
After that, they journeyed using Qin Yitian’s red spacecraft.
The Green Dragon spacecraft that Chen Xiaobei saw last time flew at a demigod speed and was fueled by high-grade Spiritual Stones.
Qin Yitian’s spacecraft only used medium-grade Spiritual Stones and moved faster than a cultivator at the peak-phase of Ethereal Cultivation.
The surface area of Black Tortoise was equivalent to 30,000 Neptune Capital Planets, with Vermillion Phoenix three times of that!
Although Qin Yitian’s spacecraft was fast, it still took them a day and a night to reach Qin Family’s territory.
Supposedly, upon arriving in Vermillion Phoenix imperial city, they could have gone to Qin Family’s place through a portal but they had chosen to travel by spacecraft as Chen Xiaobei wanted to familiarize himself with the environment.
Instead of cultivating like he normally did on trips like this, Chen Xiaobei listened to Qin Yitian introduce the surroundings of Vermillion Phoenix.
“The first thing you need to know is that the Vermillion Phoenix imperial city is the indisputable force of the continent!” Qin Yitian said. “The most powerful cultivators in our continent congregate in the imperial city. It has the largest resources, the most developed economy, and the most advanced technology. All in all, the best things are all in the imperial city!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded, “It’s like ‘the’ imperial city!”
Qin Yitian continued, “Our family is considered the most powerful within the imperial city! But then again, Vermillion Phoenix is so vast that there are at least nine other forces who are on an equal footing with us! There are also countless families, factions, organizations, and groups under these ten most powerful forces!”
Chen Xiaobei asked, “So, will my Bei Xuan faction be also one of these?
“Of course not.” Qin Yitian shook her head. “You’re an incredible Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor! That alone will make Bei Xuan the most powerful force in my family’s territory. Your faction will rise to fame very quickly and be known throughout the entire Apocalypse Starfield!”
Chen Xiaobei smiled politely. “I don’t wish for Bei Xuan faction to be famous. I only want my family, friends, and disciples to live safely and peacefully in Vermillion Phoenix!”
“Don’t worry, Childe Chen,” Qin Yitian assured. “I guarantee that no one would dare touch a single hair on them while they are in my family’s domain!”
“I feel much relieved now having heard that from you!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “Oh, by the way, you’ve completed the purchase of the Spiritual Items for me, right?”
“Yes! I’ve used all 13 trillion Spiritual Stones! I bought 200,000 Five-star Spiritual Items for 1 trillion low-grade Spiritual Stones, 100,000 Six-star Spiritual Items for 3 trillion, 60,000 Seven-star for 420 billion…”
Chen Xiaobei cut in, “You don’t have to give me a detailed account. I trust you! Helping me spend all the Stones is already a very big help!
Qin Yitian looked at him in surprise. “Childe Chen, you’re really generous! I was so afraid that I couldn’t spend everything! Luckily, the population here in Vermillion Phoenix is dense and their resources abundant! I’m glad I didn’t end up disappointing you!”
“Thank you so much!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “Oh, isn’t that your family’s territory in front? I can see a flag with the word ‘Qin’ printed on it!”
“Yes! We’re here!”
