As Wang Baole pondered, he occasionally exchanged opinions with the other elders about the current situation. Soon, the seven elders of the Holy Crest Sect reached an agreement.
The current situation could no longer be changed. Since that was the case … they might as well use this opportunity to plunder as much as they could. If their harvest was sufficient, the Holy Crest Sect might really be able to reverse the situation and resolve their financial crisis.
At the same time, if their harvest didn't meet their needs, they would still need to obtain resources that could be exchanged with the Grand Supreme Elder for the right to return. As for the Core Formation realm cultivators, their thoughts were no longer important.
Therefore, after the seven of them reached an agreement, they immediately greeted the departing Grand Supreme Elder with respectful expressions. After expressing their attitude, the Holy Crest Sect Grand Supreme Elder laughed heartily and ignored the Core Formation realm cultivators. Instead, he had Wang Baole and the others assist him in piloting the Holy Crest Sect's battleship at full speed. The battleship soared into space ahead.
Compared to the Divine Eye civilization, this region of space was much darker. Moreover, it felt unfamiliar to Wang Baole and the others.
Even the Holy Crest Sect Grand Supreme Elder had never been here before. He had previously mortgaged the sect in exchange for the right to open the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons. Because he didn't have a precise location, he could only choose to teleport in a general direction.
Therefore, he only knew that this region of space was a place that the Divine Eye civilization had never been to before. As for whether he could find any civilization or resources that could be plundered, he wasn't sure.
In this uncertain situation, if space was compared to a black ocean, then the Holy Crest Sect's battleship was like a lone boat that traveled silently in this black ocean. Time passed slowly, and soon, three months had passed.
During these three months, the low-level cultivators of the Holy Crest Sect had already accepted their fate and became silent. However, from time to time, a fierce glint would appear in their eyes. They were like hungry wolves. One could imagine that once they encountered prey that they could devour, they would explode with unprecedented ferocity.
As for Wang Baole and the others, although they appeared to be much calmer, Wang Baole could sense that the other Yuanying Elders were clearly becoming more and more vicious. Even the Grand Supreme Elder himself couldn't escape Wang Baole's observation no matter how hard he tried to hide his thoughts. He could see that the anxiety in the depths of his heart was becoming stronger and stronger.
Only Wang Baole wasn't frustrated. On the one hand, he could leave at any time if he wanted to. On the other hand, although he didn't have the authority to use the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons imprint to return to the Divine Eye civilization, it was very easy for him to obtain it.
Therefore, not only did he not feel anxious, but he had also gained a deeper understanding of the royal family, the three greater sects, and the history of the Divine Eye civilization through his many conversations with the other elders.
"If it's still like this after a while, I'll have no choice but to take action." Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze across the people around him. He then looked at the gloomy Grand Supreme Elder. Then, he casually looked through the battleship's windows and into the pitch-black cosmos outside. But as he looked, Wang Baole's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Almost at the same time, the Holy Crest Sect's battleship, which had been repaired with all its might, detected the abnormality in the distant cosmos before anyone else. A warning sounded.
The moment the warning sounded, all the cultivators on the battleship were shocked. Their breathing quickened, especially the Grand Supreme Elder and the other Yuanying cultivators. All of their eyes widened. The Grand Supreme Elder's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his hand, he took out a crystal compass!
The crystal compass wasn't big. It floated in the Grand Supreme Elder's hand and emitted waves of gentle light. As he formed a seal with his left hand and pointed at the compass, the light suddenly intensified and became incomparably resplendent. A buzzing sound reverberated in the air. It was as if an invisible hand was holding a transparent pen and gradually drawing a star chart in midair!
As soon as the star chart appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the battleship!
The first thing that appeared was a star that was in a state of near death. Then, six planets of different sizes appeared around it …
Among them, the dying star had no color. Of the six planets beside it, two were black, and three were alternating between green and yellow. However, most of them were green.
The largest planet was no longer green. Instead, it was emitting a pale yellow light!
As soon as the star map and the colors of the stars on it were revealed, the breathing of the low-level cultivators on the battleship quickened. The elders beside Wang Baole all had solemn expressions on their faces, and one of them spoke immediately.
"There is no bright yellow, which represents the Spirit Immortal realm, or orange, which represents the Planet realm. There is also no red, which represents the Star-Grade Almighty!"
"Of the six planets, two are black, which means that there are no Spirit Qi fluctuations. Therefore, we can ignore them. The remaining three are in between green and pale yellow. This means that the strongest of these three planets is comparable to the Yuanying and Soul Conduit realm cultivators …"
"The last planet is emitting a pale yellow light. Based on past experience, it is comparable to a late-stage Soul Conduit realm cultivator!"
"This civilization is definitely a threat. However, it is a little strange. Their star is about to be extinguished. Why are they still here and not leaving?"
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes as he listened to the words of the Elders beside him. He suddenly spoke.
"Since a civilization can produce Soul Conduit realm cultivators, it is unlikely that there are planets that are not being used or occupied. However … there are two such planets here." Wang Baole looked at the Grand Supreme Elder after he finished speaking.
The Holy Crest Sect's Grand Supreme Elder stared at the star chart and looked at the two black planets. Then, he focused on the pale yellow planet and pondered. According to the Divine Eye civilization's way of doing things, if they encountered civilizations that were weaker than them, they would directly descend and forcefully destroy them and plunder everything.
As for civilizations with a certain level of danger, they would choose to sneak in and spread out to plunder. They would record the coordinates of the civilization and then gather at an agreed time to inform the upper sect. Depending on the situation, they would choose to launch an invasion.
The Holy Crest Sect's Grand Supreme Elder's eyes glinted coldly as he said decisively, "Since we have encountered it, let's go in and see how valuable it is. If anything goes wrong, we will leave immediately. With these coordinates, we can also obtain rewards from the upper sect!"
As the leader of the Holy Crest Sect, the moment he spoke, the other cultivators fell silent. Soon, the battleship they were on increased its speed. It even activated a Dharma artifact that could block divine senses. This caused the entire battleship to gradually disappear into the darkness at high speed. It was like a black ghost that was getting closer and closer to the unfamiliar civilization's star system.
Several days later, the Holy Crest Sect's battleship finally neared the civilization in an almost stealthy state. As it charged into the star system without slowing down, the Grand Supreme Elder on the battleship immediately formed a series of hand seals. Instantly, a three-dimensional star chart that was much clearer than the one they had seen before appeared in the battleship.
The clarity of the star map was extremely high, and because it was a three-dimensional image, the six planets were displayed in almost all directions. Even the surface of the planets could be faintly seen.
When everyone saw the planets clearly, gasps could be heard coming from the low-level cultivators. Wang Baole's eyes narrowed, and the expressions on the faces of the other Elders and Grand Supreme Elders changed.
It was truly … Among the six planets, the two planets that were black in color before could be clearly seen in this comprehensive display that they had completely withered. They were like two shriveled oranges that had lost all signs of life and aura!
As for the other four planets, although they still had signs of life and aura, they were obviously withered. Countless deep craters could be seen on the surface of the planets. Vaguely, they seemed to be able to see some objects squirming. All of this gave off an ominous feeling!
This was the first time Wang Baole had seen such a strange civilization. He couldn't help but take a few more glances. Using his Dark Art, he could feel that this star system was filled with a thick aura of death!
At the same time, he also heard the Grand Supreme Elder muttering.
"A native alien civilization?" The Grand Supreme Elder frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he made a decision.
"Everyone, take your men and spread out to investigate. Keep in touch at all times. We will temporarily return to the battleship in half a month!" As he spoke, his body swayed and he appointed two elders to follow him. They led some of the low-level cultivators on a flying shuttle and headed straight for the planet that was emitting a faint yellow light in the star chart.
The remaining elders, including Wang Baole, also quickly discussed with each other and spread out, heading straight for the remaining three planets. Wang Baole wasn't alone. He was accompanied by the Holy Crest Sect's Fifth Elder, who was at the mid-stage Yuanying stage. The two of them led some of the low-level cultivators on a flying shuttle and rushed out instantly, heading straight for the target planet.
As they approached, the deep craters on the planet's surface became clearer in the eyes of Wang Baole and the Fifth Elder. When they saw everything clearly, even Wang Baole's eyes widened in shock!
