Conquering the Tianwu Star Area was not Qin Shaofeng's goal. What he wanted was the entire Hongkuang Immortal Realm. However, in the Southern Star Area, there were countless Star Areas that were many times more powerful than the Tianwu Star Area. In those Star Areas, the influence of the Heavenly Court was even greater. Even the Divine Body Sect had some influence in those Star Areas, but they were far from being able to suppress the Heavenly Court. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to conquer these Star Areas. How could Qin Shaofeng conquer the entire Southern Star Area and then the entire Hongkuang Immortal Realm?
Therefore, Qin Shaofeng set his next target on the Southern Underworld Star Area, which was the largest Star Area in the Southern Star Area. At the same time, it was also the place where the Heavenly Court's influence was the strongest. It even had the Fire God King, one of the Five Great Immortal Kings of the Heavenly Court. In this way, as long as he could eradicate the Heavenly Court's influence in the Southern Underworld Star Area, the entire Southern Star Area would basically be under his control.
Of course, Qin Shaofeng knew that it was extremely difficult to achieve this goal. However, it did not matter. Qin Shaofeng had plenty of time. Qin Shaofeng believed that he could definitely achieve this goal. Qin Shaofeng had already obtained the details of the various major forces in the Southern Star Area from Yang Haoyuan. As long as he made good use of them, it would not be difficult to eradicate the Heavenly Court's influence.
It could be said that the Heavenly Court was the most powerful force in the entire Hongkuang Immortal Realm. However, this did not mean that there were no other forces in the Hongkuang Immortal Realm except for the Divine Body Sect, which could directly contend with the Heavenly Court's influence. In the entire Hongkuang Immortal Realm, there were still many forces that were quite large. Even the Heavenly Court could not completely suppress them.
Of course, these major forces could not confront the Heavenly Court directly. They could only compete with the Heavenly Court secretly. The Heavenly Court was aware of this, but due to the Sacred Body Sect's restraint, the Heavenly Court did not dare to completely suppress these forces. This was because once the Heavenly Court's strength was reduced, the Sacred Body Sect would definitely be able to take advantage of this situation to invade the Heavenly Court.
In other words, there was a balanced relationship between the Sacred Body Sect, the Heavenly Court, and other forces. As long as the Sacred Body Sect existed, the Heavenly Court would not dare to exterminate those forces. Even if those forces did something unfavorable to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court could only endure it. Because of this, the Sacred Body Sect had a good relationship with these forces.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Shaofeng felt that there was actually a lot of things that could be done. As long as he made good use of these forces, he believed that he could still find a way to deal with the Heavenly Court. However, this matter had to be done step by step. He could not be too hasty. The most important thing now was to increase his strength.
Qin Shaofeng knew very well that what he was about to do was very dangerous. Without the support of powerful strength, it was absolutely impossible to complete it. Therefore, he still had to increase his strength first. Thinking of this matter, Qin Shaofeng could not help but sigh helplessly. This was because in his current situation, it was extremely difficult for him to increase his level.
Due to the fusion between the Golden Essence Core and the Planar Screen, Qin Shaofeng's essence primary energy was several times stronger compared to the average cultivator. However, it was not easy for him to increase his cultivation level by one level. This was also the reason why Qin Shaofeng had failed to increase his cultivation level even after cultivating for half a year. If it weren't for that, given his monstrous rate of cultivation, he would have been able to continuously increase his cultivation level.
However, Qin Shaofeng was relieved that with the blessing of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shaofeng's cultivation speed was four times faster than normal. Under such circumstances, Qin Shaofeng's Origin Qi also increased rapidly. He believed that it would not be long before he could reach the second stage of the Epic Realm.
Riding on the back of the Black Dragon Horse, Qin Shaofeng leisurely looked at the surrounding scenery. The Black Dragon Horse's strength had increased a lot at this time, and its flying speed was even faster. Otherwise, Qin Shaofeng would not have brought the Black Dragon Horse with him. Looking at the stars receding behind him, Qin Shaofeng did not have any intention to stay and flew straight to the Southern Underworld Star Territory.
Along the way, he passed by countless star territories, but Qin Shaofeng did not stop. Although the scale of these star territories was many times larger than the Tianwu Star Territory, Qin Shaofeng did not have the desire to conquer them. Naturally, he would not stay. Now, the only thing that interested Qin Shaofeng was the Southern Underworld Star Territory and a few other star territories.
As he was rushing forward, a huge warship suddenly appeared in front of him. Qin Shaofeng's eyes flashed. He saw a huge flag hanging on the mast of the largest warship at the front. There was a huge word "Xu" on the flag. This made Qin Shaofeng's heart tremble. He knew that this was the warship of the Xu Family, a huge family in the Southern Underworld Star Territory.
In the Southern Underworld Star Territory, in addition to the Heavenly Court and the Divine Physique Sect, there were three more powerful families. They were the Xu Family, the Yun Family, and the Liu Family. Among them, the Xu Family operated the Xu Family Chamber of Commerce. Their influence spread across the entire Hongkuang Great Immortal World. The Xu Family Chamber of Commerce was located in every huge star territory. The Divine Physique Sect was one of the top families under the Heavenly Court.
The Yun Family was a family that was good at refining Spirit Pills. More than 60% of the alchemists in the Hongkuang Great Immortal World came from the Yun Family. The Liu Family was good at refining tools. More than 80% of the alchemists in the Hongkuang Great Immortal World came from the Liu Family. Although the Yun Family and the Liu Family were not as powerful as the Xu Family, they could not be underestimated because the existence of these two families was too important.
This was because even the Heavenly Court had to purchase Spirit Pills and Immortal Tools from the Yun Family and the Liu Family. Moreover, the Heavenly Court had tried to subdue the Liu Family and the Yun Family more than once. However, they had never succeeded. This showed that the two families were extremely powerful. The headquarters of the Yun Family, the Liu Family, and the Xu Family were located in the Southern Starfield Cluster because the Southern Starfield Cluster was the place with the most abundant Spirit Pills and minerals in the entire Hongkuang Great Immortal World. Therefore, the three families had set up their headquarters here.
Of course, there were other powerful families in the Hongkuang Great Immortal World. However, they were not located in the Southern Starfield Cluster. They were located in the other four starfield clusters. In short, the major forces in the Southern Starfield Cluster were the Heavenly Court, the Divine Physique Sect, and these three families. To Qin Shaofeng's surprise, he actually encountered the Xu Family's warship today.
The Xu Family's merchant associations were spread across the entire Hongkuang Great Immortal World. Naturally, the Xu Family's merchant associations required warships to transport goods between the various merchant associations. The Xu Family possessed the most warships in the entire Hongkuang Great Immortal World. The corners of Qin Shaofeng's mouth curled into a smile when he saw the Xu Family's warship slowly approaching him.
The Xu Family was a very important part of Qin Shaofeng's plan. It was a force that he had to conquer. However, now was not the time to make contact with them. Therefore, when he saw the warships approaching him, Qin Shaofeng ordered the Black Dragon Horse to fly to the side. He planned to bypass the Xu Family's warship and continue his journey to the Southern Underworld Star Field.
It did not take long for the two sides to meet. Initially, they were going their separate ways without hindering each other. However, when Qin Shaofeng rode past the Xu Family's warships on his Black Dragon Horse, a delicate shout suddenly rang out from the frontmost warship, "Stop! You, the boy on the horse! Stop for this Miss!" Following this shout, a figure flew out from the frontmost warship.
"Young Miss, come back! Don't make trouble!" When the figure flew out, another voice rang out. Then, another figure chased after the figure. Following that, more figures flew towards Qin Shaofeng's direction. It seemed like they were here to protect the person who called out to Qin Shaofeng.
When Qin Shaofeng heard the delicate shout, he immediately stopped and looked towards the Xu Family's warship. He saw a petite figure in black clothes flying towards him. In the blink of an eye, the figure appeared in front of Qin Shaofeng. It was a young girl who appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. She looked very lively, especially her pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to speak. Her two ponytails were tied up with silk and were placed in front of her chest.
From the conversation just now, Qin Shaofeng understood that this young girl was the young miss of the Xu Family. Moreover, her status was not low. This could be seen from the people who rushed over to protect this young girl. The first person to arrive was a middle-aged woman. She had an otherworldly temperament and was dressed in white clothes. She appeared otherworldly. However, she was a Tier 9 Myth Realm expert.
Behind this person were thirty to forty Myth Realm experts of various ranks. Since this young girl was protected by so many Myth Realm experts, her status in the Xu Family was naturally extraordinary. However, Qin Shaofeng did not mind. Although this group of people was powerful, they were not enough to deal with Elder Yang Zongbao who was hiding in the dark.
"Young Miss, why did you call me?" Qin Shaofeng asked the young girl from the Xu Family. He did not care about the middle-aged woman and the Myth Realm experts behind the young girl. Since Qin Shaofeng only displayed the strength of a Tier 1 Epic Realm expert, the people behind the young girl did not pay attention to Qin Shaofeng.
This young girl was the only daughter of the Xu Family in this lifetime. Her name was Xu Yeyue. Due to her talent, she had already cultivated to Tier 5 Epic Realm at a young age. Therefore, she was extremely favored by the Xu Family. It was also because of this that Xu Yeyue's personality was slowly cultivated to become extremely unruly and willful.
"I like this horse of yours very much. Name a price. I'll buy it," Xu Yeyue looked at Qin Shaofeng and said. She looked very arrogant.
