As Wang Baole pondered, time passed slowly. News of his and Feng Qiuran's arrival spread to the ears of the Federation cultivators at the Venusian defense line. At the same time, Duan Muque deliberately spread the news. Not only on Venus, but also on Mars and Earth, almost all the citizens of the Federation knew of Wang Baole's return.
They also knew of Wang Baole's advancement in cultivation and the Dao Palace's former Grand Supreme Elder, Feng Qiuran, joining the Federation. All of this made everyone excited and excited.
This was especially so at the Venusian defense line. Wang Baole's words at the spaceport had already spread. More and more Venusian cultivators were fired up, and their fighting spirit was gradually overflowing.
At the same time, in the days after Wang Baole's return, there was an endless stream of visitors. Whether it was the Federation Seedlings on the ancient greenish-bronze sword, his old friends, the Big Tree, Lord Xu, or the people in charge of the various major factions of the Federation, they all expressed their desire to get close to him and were very respectful.
If it had been any other time, Wang Baole, who was well-versed in the high officials' autobiographies, would definitely have been able to strengthen his connections. However, he wasn't in the mood now. Therefore, after a few days, he announced that he was going into seclusion.
As for the war … as Wang Baole's seclusion passed day by day, the small-scale conflicts gradually became more frequent. Under the constant surveillance of the Federation's Solar System Array Formation, all signs indicated that … the Dao Palace and the Never-Ending Clan's preparations were almost complete. The war on Venus was not far away.
On the tenth day of Wang Baole's seclusion, Kongdao completed his mission. As Wang Baole's friend and comrade, he was the first to return.
The moment he returned, he immediately went to meet with Wang Baole. When the two of them met, Kongdao's first words were …
"Baole, Zhuo Yifan is missing!"
After hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Wang Baole's eyes. He asked in detail and found out that Kongdao had hidden in an escape pod in the Never-Ending Clan battleship on the ancient greenish-bronze sword. That was how he had managed to escape. After that, he had taken advantage of the fact that the Leisurely Taoist had gone out and the battleship's teleportation had loosened to escape.
After returning to the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, although he hadn't made it in time for Zhao Yameng and the others to teleport, he had relied on his connections in the Dao Palace and gave them all his savings. before the Leisurely Taoist returned.
"I was quite lucky. When I returned, the Mercury defense line was still there, and President Duanmu didn't give the order to blow up Mercury. Otherwise …" Kongdao said with a lingering fear in his heart.
"After returning, I found Zhao Yameng and the others. We communicated and found that no one had seen Zhuo Yifan. Now that you're back, Zhuo Yifan is still missing. His brother, Zhuo Yixian, is also missing!" Kongdao finished speaking and looked at Wang Baole.
Wang Baole was silent. After a while, he sighed softly. If there hadn't been a war, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to find them, given his status as the Grand Supreme Elder of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
But now that they were at war, this matter could only depend on Zhuo Yifan's luck. Although Wang Baole was worried, he could only put this matter aside. He communicated with Kongdao again. In the end, he saw that Kongdao was exhausted and had internal injuries, so he gave Kongdao some elixir bottles filled with spirit liquid. The two of them ended their reminiscing.
At the same time, as the conflict between the Federation and the Dao Palace cultivators continued to escalate, Kongdao was soon arranged to go out with the others to carry out missions. In reality, Core Formation realm cultivators like Kongdao were extremely busy on the Venus defense line. There were too many things for them to handle.
Core Formation realm cultivators were the core of the team, be it the expansion of the array formation, or scouting and rescue missions. After all, the Federation's Yuanying had been enlightened by the cultivation techniques that Wang Baole had sent back. But now, there were only three more Core Formation realm cultivators, including Lord Xu, the Big Tree, Duanmu, and Li Xingwen.
One of them was Li Waner's father, the Head Senator of the Senate. Another was an elder of the Five Generation Sky Clan. As for the last one … he wasn't from the four Dao Colleges, nor was he from the Three Moon Group. He wasn't even an elder of the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect. Instead, he was someone unexpected. But when one thought about it, it made sense. He was … Lin Tianhao's father, Ethereal City's City Lord, Lin You!
Originally, Lin You was just one of the many Senators. Although he was a prominent figure in the Federation and the City Lord, he still lacked some weight. But from the moment he broke through, everything changed. No one dared to underestimate such a young and talented Senator!
In particular, Lin You had his own unique way of dealing with people. Li Waner's father had promoted him to the position of Deputy Speaker of the Senate. Apart from his high position and authority, the status of Ethereal City and his son was elevated significantly.
Including Lin You and Wang Baole, there were a total of eight Yuanying in the Federation. Among them, five were stationed at the Venusian defense line. Of the remaining three, one was stationed on Earth, while the other two were stationed on Mars. They were guarding the Martian Colony Governor, who was in seclusion to hasten her breakthrough. As such, the Core Formation realm was naturally more useful.
Kongdao wasn't the only one. All the Core Formation realm cultivators were extremely busy. For example, Zhao Yameng, despite her extraordinary status, was in the midst of carrying out her mission. Occasionally, she would send voice transmissions to Wang Baole. She had yet to return.
Even Wang Baole couldn't be in seclusion all the time. Not long after Kongdao left, Wang Baole also received a mission from Li Xingwen and Duan Muque.
"Head to the Moon and escort this planet … to the Venusian defense line!"
The Moon was an existence similar to Earth's satellite. With the current Spirit Science technology, a perfect base had been built on the Moon. Apart from being equipped with powerful weapons, the Moon could also change its orbit. It was like a battle-star fortress that could traverse the universe!
The original plan was to use the Moon as a support during the final battle on Mars. However, after discussion between Li Xingwen and Duan Muque, they decided to move the Moon forward to assist in the battle on Venus.
Although the significance of this mission was great, the level of danger was actually very low. After all, even though the journey from the Moon to Venus was long, it was within the range of the Solar System Array Formation. Basically, they wouldn't encounter any threats or obstructions from the Dao Palace.
The reason why Wang Baole was sent to escort the Moon was because of the significance of this mission. After all, personally controlling the Moon to leave Earth's orbit and participate in the battle was just a statement that would excite the masses. Visually, they would be able to see the Moon leave Earth's orbit. This was equivalent to increasing Wang Baole's prestige!
Wang Baole didn't reject the mission. Although he felt that with his combat strength, he could complete more difficult missions, Wang Baole still had a plan that he wanted to try on the Moon. Therefore, after receiving the mission, he didn't delay. He boarded the Federation battleship and led thousands of Federation cultivators to set off immediately.
The speed of the Federation battleship wasn't slow, especially with the support of the Solar System Array Formation. After six days, the battleship finally neared Earth's range and landed on the Moon base.
Waiting for him were the high-level cultivators of all the factions on the Moon base. They had already received orders to follow Wang Baole's orders. The authority to command the entire Moon base had been transferred to Wang Baole.
Even though all the major political forces approved of such a forceful transfer of power, there were still some in the upper echelons of certain political forces who were unhappy. They had heard about Wang Baole's ascension to the Nascent Soul realm, but they hadn't personally experienced it and thus didn't feel too pressured. On the other hand, they were still ingrained with the idea that one's status trumped one's cultivation. Even though they wouldn't openly oppose Wang Baole, they were still reluctant to cooperate.
However … all these thoughts disappeared the moment the battleship landed and Wang Baole walked out. In fact … Wang Baole understood the thoughts of the old men of the Federation very well. He didn't give them any chance to not cooperate. The moment he walked out of the battleship, Thearch Armor materialized on his body. Accompanied by the aura of Yuanying, the eeriness of the demonic eye, and the murderous aura that Wang Baole had accumulated along the way, all of this erupted in an instant. It was like a violent storm and raging waves that rolled towards the Moon!
"I'm sure all of you know who I am. Since that's the case, there's no need for introductions. From this moment on, no matter what your background is or what your thoughts are, put them away. You must obey my orders. Otherwise … you'll be killed!" Wang Baole spoke calmly as he walked out of the battleship. His voice wasn't loud, but it was complemented by his aura. It rumbled like thunder into the hearts of all the cultivators on the Moon Base. Everyone's breathing quickened at that moment. They looked at Wang Baole in his armor like a demonic god. Their hearts rumbled, and they trembled under the murderous aura. They put away all thoughts and bowed their heads in reverence as they responded respectfully.
"Yes, Sir!"
Under the reverence of the crowd, Wang Baole raised his head and looked in the direction of the sleeping giant on the Moon. He slowly narrowed his eyes.
It was as if Wang Baole's aura was so strong that it attracted the attention of the sleeping giant. Almost at the moment he looked in that direction, the Moon shook, and an inhuman roar came from the sleeping giant!
