The formation was in the shape of a net, like a beehive. It appeared in an instant and covered the entire Earth Spirit civilization like a gigantic dome, preventing outsiders from entering and those inside from leaving.
Due to the formation of the formation too quickly, some Earth Spirit shuttles that were at the edge of the formation did not manage to dodge in time and were directly destroyed. Some of them were left outside and could not enter.
Because of this, panic spread rapidly among the upper echelons of the Earth Spirit civilization. After all, although this had never happened before, the upper echelons of the Earth Spirit civilization knew very well that only the Violet Gold civilization could make the artificial star activate the sealing formation.
Therefore, even though they were panicking, they were still able to maintain their composure. They even used a special method to ask for instructions from the inside of the artificial star. Not long after, a consciousness that was blessed by the artificial star spread out with the help of the formation and appeared in the minds of all the people of the Earth Spirit civilization.
"Find this person. After you find him, kill him at all costs!"
Along with the transmission of the consciousness was Wang Baole's image. Therefore, the entire Earth Spirit civilization was in an uproar and began a frantic search. Obviously, they had to do this. They did not dare to disobey the Violet Gold civilization's request.
While the entire Earth Spirit civilization was searching for Wang Baole, inside the artificial star in the starry sky, the right-hand elder of the Celestial Spirit Sect was sitting cross-legged in a pool filled with spiritual energy. As his chest rose and fell, wisps of mist rose from the spirit pool and entered his body through his seven orifices.
His cultivation had already recovered and the power of the curse had long dissipated. However, the battle on the artificial star had left him severely injured. In addition, he was wary of Wang Baole. Therefore, he planned to heal his injuries here first and return to his peak condition before killing Wang Baole.
Although this place was not a fixed star, it was still within the Violet Gold civilization's sphere of influence. He was confident that once he recovered, Long Nanzi would be dead for sure. Moreover, he was not worried that Long Nanzi would escape. This was because all the man-made fixed stars, including the sealing array formation that existed within them, were jointly set up by the three Laozu of the Violet Gold civilization. Even other stellar cultivators would find it difficult to break through.
At this thought, the right-hand elder sneered. In reality, he had other methods. Although the Divine Eye civilization wasn't within the Violet Gold civilization's territory, he couldn't communicate with the sect lord via voice transmission. However, he could make use of the artificial Eternal Star here to establish contact with the Violet Gold civilization. If he could invite a few planets from the other sects to come together, it would be a piece of cake to destroy the Long Nanzi.
However … doing so would highlight the failure of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, which would also cause him to lose face. Therefore, the thought only flashed through his mind before it was suppressed.
"There's enough time, and it won't take too long. Long Nanzi will die in half a month at most!"
At the same time, while the right-hand elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect was recuperating, outside the artificial Eternal Star, on the nearest Earth Spirit civilization's planet, a young man was sitting in a restaurant in a city. This young man was looking up at the sun in the sky, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
This young man was Wang Baole. At this moment, his appearance was quite different from that of a human cultivator. He didn't have two eyes, but three. At the same time, his ears were very big, and the thickness of his arms exceeded his thighs. This appearance made him look as if his physical body was extremely strong.
If he were in the Federation or the Divine Eye civilization, this appearance would be very strange. However, in the Earth Spirit civilization, this was normal because everyone in this civilization was like this.
The style of the entire civilization was also different from that of the Federation. It seemed to take irregularity as a form of beauty. All the buildings were piled up with stones of various colors. Some were big, some were small, and they all looked different. They gave off a very uncoordinated feeling. The uneven undulations formed a city.
Although the entire city was uncoordinated and there was no beauty to speak of, there were many people coming and going. It was very lively and bustling. At the same time, the ratio of cultivators in the crowd was very exaggerated. Almost nine out of ten cultivators were cultivators. However, their cultivation levels were generally low. Wang Baole looked for a long time, but he didn't see a single Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"The Earth Spirit civilization, huh …" Sitting in the restaurant, Wang Baole was drinking a drink that was said to be very famous here. He looked up at the sun in the distance and slowly narrowed his eyes.
In his eyes, what hung high in the sky wasn't the sun but a huge purple metal ball. If he looked closely, he could see that the ball was densely imprinted with countless runes. These runes intersected with each other and shone brightly, forming light and heat that scattered across the entire Earth Spirit civilization.
At the same time, Wang Baole also noticed that these runes were disappearing at any time, and new ones would appear at any time. If Wang Baole's cultivation level wasn't at his current level, it would have been difficult for him to see the reason. However, with his current cultivation level, he could see the clues after careful observation.
"What an amazing artificial star … It actually implicates the life and death of all life in this civilization. The ones that are disappearing at every moment are the lives of this civilization that have died at every moment, and the ones that appear at every moment are the newborns!" Wang Baole took a deep breath. He was very shocked by the methods of the Violet Gold civilization.
Previously, when he escaped, the moment he sensed that the seal had been opened, he used the special characteristics of his Origin Avatar to transform into a member of this Earth Spirit civilization. Then, he told this to Zhao Yameng, who was meditating in the Spiritual Battleship in his storage bag. Through her, he understood most of this Earth Spirit civilization. However, when Zhao Yameng was in the Violet Gold civilization, she didn't pay attention to this place. Moreover, the artificial star was a core secret, so she didn't know much. Wang Baole still needed to make his own judgment and analysis.
After understanding his situation, Wang Baole could roughly guess what the right-hand elder was thinking. Therefore, he wasn't worried about the arrival of other powerhouses from the Violet Gold civilization. He also knew that he still had some time to plan a way to leave.
Because of this, he came to the city of this planet, intending to further understand this civilization. He also carefully observed this artificial sun to find its flaws. After all, this was the place closest to the sun.
With these thoughts in mind, he carefully observed the crowd and made some deductions about the sun in the sky. He couldn't help but sigh.
"This is too cruel … This artificial sun has exceeded my refining ability. I can imagine that it must contain boundless power of the natural order, causing everyone in this Earth Spirit civilization to never be able to make a comeback!"
Wang Baole sighed slightly. Just as he was frowning, the sound of laughter and conversation came from outside the restaurant he was in.
"Let's eat here. After that, we'll return to the sect." As they spoke, five handsome and elegant young men and women walked into the restaurant. They chose a table not far away from Wang Baole and sat there, chatting and laughing with each other.
The five of them were wearing the same clothes, and there was a purple half-moon mark on their sleeves. Four of them were at the mid-stage of the Qi Refinement realm, and only one of them, a young man with a slightly arrogant expression, was at the great circle of the Qi Refinement realm.
When the other customers in the restaurant saw them, their expressions changed. Some of them lowered their heads, while others hurriedly paid their bills and left. This piqued Wang Baole's curiosity, so he paid attention to the conversation between the five of them.
"Senior Brother Taizhong, you've made a great contribution this time. You've exceeded your expectations. When you return to the sect, your cultivation will definitely break through. Then, you'll be a prodigy of the Zi Yue Sect!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Taizhong, after you return to the sect and offer a sacrifice to the purple sun, you'll definitely be able to activate your second-level authority. Then, your potential will be stimulated and your cultivation will rise to the Foundation Establishment realm!"
When he heard his junior brother's words, the young man called Taizhong cleared his throat and said, "Haha! When that time comes, I'd like to see if that Luo Zhou dares to be so arrogant!"
"Alright," said the young man called Taizhong coolly. "It's our duty as disciples to make contributions to the sect. But Luo Zhou … hmph! How dare he provoke Junior Sister Xiuyan? I'll make him pay for it! "As he spoke, he quickly glanced at the young woman sitting next to him. A greedy glint appeared in his eyes, but when he looked over, he realized that she wasn't looking at him. Instead, she was looking at another young man sitting by the window.
"Junior Sister Xiuyan, do you know this person?" Taizhong asked, looking at the person she was looking at. When he realized that the person was only at the Qi Refinement realm, a look of disdain appeared in his eyes.
"I don't know him. But Senior Brother Taizhong, don't you think that this person … is a little strange? I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just have an indescribable feeling …"
The young man they were looking at was naturally Wang Baole. When he had overheard their conversation, he had been a little puzzled. According to what they had said, there was no need to go through trials to reach the Foundation Establishment realm from the Qi Refinement realm. There was also no need to search for items that could help one reach the Foundation Establishment realm. In fact, there wasn't even a need for elixirs. All one needed to do was … worship the purple sun!
"The purple sun is the artificial sun. Worshipping it can raise one's authority and increase one's cultivation base?" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. An answer that made him sigh once again appeared in his mind.
"My previous judgment of the artificial sun was still incomplete. Not only does it control the life and death of the people of the Earth Spirit civilization, but it also controls their cultivation bases. Everyone in the Earth Spirit civilization has a fake cultivation base because everything they have is supported by the artificial sun. It can give them as much cultivation base as it wants, but once the sun is gone, they will instantly be reduced to mere mortals!"
"They will become a vassal, a civilization that has been enslaved …" Wang Baole took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with determination. He couldn't allow the Federation to fall into such a state!
