The gathering didn't last very long. It was just a few days. They drank and ate the delicacies brought by Chen Zong, which were helpful to Dao Manipulation Realm cultivators. They chatted and chatted while Chen Zong, who was at the Yuanming Realm, gave them pointers on their cultivation.
In the end, Chen Zong took out some treasures that he didn't need and gave them to the four of them. In Chen Zong's words, these were congratulatory gifts for Su Luan becoming a sect master candidate and for Lin Weiyin, Li Wenhe and Bai Mei breaking through to the Divine Ascension Realm. He hoped that they would be able to continue on their cultivation path.
The treasures that Chen Zong took out were nothing to Chen Zong, but their value was astonishing to the others. However, they still accepted them in the end. This was a token of his sincerity and also a token of friendship.
"The first time I saw Chen Zong, he was only at the Demigod Realm. The last time I saw him, his cultivation had reached the First Revolution of the Dao Manipulation Realm." Su Luan watched the Escapee depart from the Second World Suppression City and exclaimed, "This time, Chen Zong is already at the Yuanming Realm. I really don't know if he will be at the Divine Ascension Realm the next time I see him."
Li Wenhe seemed to feel the same way and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
Bai Mei looked absent-minded. Her eyes were a little blank. No matter how strong she was, she also understood that the gap between her and Chen Zong was too big. It was like comparing a glimmer to a star.
Lin Weiyin stared at the Escapee's departing figure. Her pretty face was filled with loneliness.
Her heart belonged to someone else, but she also understood that Chen Zong was like a floating cloud in the sky. He was unfathomable, like a god that was difficult to reach.
The gap was too big.
It was unattainable.
In the end, he could only bury this feeling deep in his heart.
…
Inside the Escapee, Chen Zong steered the void flying ship and quickly left the Second World Suppression City, flying in the direction of the Wu Kong Star Domain.
While piloting the Evasive Ship, Chen Zong was distracted.
Chen Zong could tell what was on Lin Weiyin's mind, but he could not express his opinion. Fortunately, he could only pretend that he did not know.
Now that they had gathered and left, Chen Zong did not know how many years it would be before he could reunite with his friends again.
Chen Zong did not linger for long before he returned to normal and began to meditate again.
The void was vast, and the Spirit Realm warriors had a long lifespan. As long as they didn't fall, they would meet each other again in the future.
As for now, everyone was still very young. They still had a long time to work hard and cultivate diligently to become even stronger.
Chen Zong steered the Evanescent Battleship while comprehending the Array Doctrine and Crafting Doctrine. Occasionally, he would switch to comprehending the Cultivation Method and Sword Doctrine.
Even though his combat prowess did not increase by much, he would continue to accumulate. When the time was right, he would advance by leaps and bounds.
The distance between the Yiyuan Galaxy and the Wu Kong Star Area was still very far.
It could be said that the Yiyuan Galaxy was located in the northeast of the Eastern Void, while the Wu Kong Star Area was located in the southwest of the Eastern Void, close to the Southern Void.
If it were in the past, it would take a lot of time to cross the distance. But now, the Evanescent Battleship's speed was fully activated. Coupled with the hundred-year void travel, Chen Zong could cross the distance in a short time.
The Evanescent Battleship passed through the void belt between star areas. After that, it would enter the Wu Kong Star Area.
The Zhenkongism was the ruler of the Wu Kong Star Area. It was a middle-rank star area level force. Although there were no dominator level experts, there were some Tao Master level experts. Yukong Venerable was one of them.
Of course, Yukong Venerable had died and only a corpse was left. But he also left the Evanescent Battleship, a top-grade Void Battleship, and two Heaven Divine Senses with great potential that he had created.
Now, Chen Zong was going to send Yukong Venerable's corpse back to the Zhenkongism according to the agreement or oath.
This was also a kind of experience.
As for the conferring of the Daoist Disciple, it would not be so fast or so simple. After all, it was not a simple matter to inform and invite many powerful forces to attend the ceremony. It could not be done carelessly, because the Daoist Disciple was related to the honor and continuity of the Heavenly Intention Palace. It needed to be arranged carefully.
It would take a lot of time.
Chen Zong estimated that it would take him enough time to come out and gain experience before going back.
This time, Chen Zong did not encounter any void disasters. He safely crossed the void belt and entered the Wu Kong Star Area.
Along the way, he encountered void beasts and void bandits. However, the Evanescent Battleship's speed was amazing. It was at the Tao Master level. The void bandits could not keep up with it at all.
After all, Tao Masters were powerful. Why would they be bandits?
Of course, there were no absolutes in the world. There were Tao Master level space bandits, but they were very few and rare.
Such powerful Interstellar Bandits generally wouldn't appear in small places, as it wouldn't be beneficial to their cultivation.
As for the void beasts, most of them were more peaceful and would not take the initiative to attack. A few of them were more ferocious, but it was still difficult to catch up with the speed of the Evanescent Battleship.
After crossing the void belt and entering the Wu Kong Star Area, they followed the guidance of the star chart and flew towards the Zhenkun Order.
The Zhenkun Order was a mid-tier Star Area level force. Its overall strength was considered very strong. Of course, it could not be compared to the Heavenly Intention Palace and the other Four Great Sacred Grounds.
However, in the void, any Star Area level force was not weak. Each of them had a deep foundation and many experts. They had developed for many years.
Even though Chen Zong was the Daoist Disciple of the Heavenly Intention Palace, he would not underestimate any Star Area level force. After all, they were not qualified to do so.
He was the Daoist Disciple, but his cultivation was only at the initial level of the Yuanming Realm.
In the void, combat strength was the only pass.
Status, identity, and background were all just a foil. If one did not have enough strength, one could only rely on the prestige of one's ancestral family to protect oneself. However, it was very difficult to make a name for oneself in the void. Even if one made a name for oneself, it was just an empty reputation.
In short, if one had an amazing background, others would only be afraid of one for a while. Once a big conflict of interest broke out, one would still have to kill.
On the other hand, if one's own combat strength was tyrannical and made others afraid, then one would not have to worry so much.
In the void, the strong were the truth.
The more one mingled in the void, the more one understood this.
The Empty Realm of the Wu Kong Star Area was very vast. There were many galaxies in it. The galaxy where the Zhenkun Order was located was called the Zhenkun Galaxy. It was directly called the Zhenkun Order.
The mountain gate of the Zhenkun Order was located on a star. It was a top-grade star surrounded by five other high-grade stars. They surrounded it like guards, forming a powerful formation. When fully activated, it was enough to withstand the attack of a Tao Master.
Even a Sovereign powerhouse would find it difficult to break it in a short time. It was enough to resist for a while.
However, a force like the Zhenkun Order did not have a Sovereign powerhouse to oversee it. Even if this formation could resist a Sovereign powerhouse for a while, it would only delay the time of destruction.
This was only in theory. The Zhenkun Order would not make an enemy out of a Sovereign powerhouse unless they were crazy.
However, as a mid-grade Star Domain-level sect, it was not that easy for outsiders to enter.
Chen Zong announced his identity. He was a true disciple of the Will Sky Palace, but not a Dao Disciple. After all, his identity was still circulating within the Will Sky Palace and had not yet been announced to the void.
However, the fact that he was a true disciple of the Will Sky Palace alone was enough to attract the attention of the Zhenkun Order. The Zhenkun Order was only a mid-grade Star Domain-level force, while the Will Sky Palace was the number one sacred ground in the void. The gap between the two was like a chasm.
Soon, a divine-level elder led a group of Yuan Underworld attendants to welcome him. They were very sincere.
It was impossible for a Dao Venerate powerhouse to come and welcome him, unless Chen Zong really announced his identity as a Dao Disciple. However, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
"It is an honor to have a true disciple of the Will Sky Palace here." The elder of the Zhenkun Order led a group of Yuan Underworld attendants and smiled warmly. His voice was very pleasant to hear.
Chen Zong was also very polite. He was led by an elder and a group of Yuan Underworld attendants into the Great Zhenkun Order's Great Zhenkun Star.
Chen Zong did not state the purpose of his visit, and the elder did not ask immediately. That would be too unreasonable and would seem as though he was not welcome.
He would greet him first and ask questions later. There might not even be a need to ask before the other party would state the purpose of his visit.
Chen Zong's purpose in coming to the Zhenkun Order was to abide by the agreement and return the body of the Yukong Venerate. He had no other intentions. Therefore, he did not want to stay here any longer. Therefore, he did not wait for the elder to ask anything and directly stated his purpose of visit.
The elder was startled at first and then became excited.
"Please wait a moment, True Disciple Chen. I will inform the Sect Master immediately," the Divine-Grade elder said hurriedly.
The Sect Master was a Dao Venerate powerhouse. Logically speaking, Chen Zong was only visiting as a true disciple of the Will Sky Palace. He would not be able to meet the Sect Master if there were no special circumstances.
However, the body of the Yukong Venerate was not a small matter. It was a big matter.
Soon, the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of the Zhenkun Order, as well as other Dao Venerate powerhouses, all arrived.
Chen Zong took the body of the Yukong Venerate from the Void Vessel and returned it to the Zhenkun Order.
The group of Dao Venerate powerhouses of the Zhenkun Order sighed when they saw the body of the Yukong Venerate. The Yukong Venerate had been one of the top powerhouses in the Zhenkun Order. There had been no news of him after he had gone out once. The Origin Spirit Jade Tablet left in the Zhenkun Order had shattered, so they knew that the Yukong Venerate had fallen.
However, they did not know where the body of the Yukong Venerate was. The Zhenkun Order had sent out people to search for it. Unfortunately, they had not found it.
There were so many voids and innumerable stars. The Desolated Dragon Star was only a very remote one. It was also very far from the Void Star Area where the Zhenkun Order was located. Even the Dominator Realm experts would not be able to find it.
In the end, the Zhenkun Order had worked hard for hundreds of years but still failed to find the body. They had to give up gradually. Of course, they did not give up completely. They still listed it as a task, a task with a high reward. In the Zhenkun Order, whoever could find the body of the Yukong Venerate would get the generous reward.
However, after such a long time, this task was still hanging there. No one had completed it. In the beginning, they were very enthusiastic. However, as they failed again and again, they gradually gave up the idea.
