"We need to think about what will happen next," said Tong Yan softly as he pushed all the spare parts on the table to the ground. "Don't lose your temper."
Zhao Layue picked up the long chopsticks and started eating the hotpot expressionlessly.
The sliced mutton, goat offal, chopped green onions and coriander were floating in the soup.
It didn't take long before she had eaten four plates of mutton. She had finally calmed down a bit.
Tong Yan began to explain the current situation in the Federation of the Milky Way to her.
With the help of Mr. Dan, his information was accurate and complete.
There were more than thirty ascendants in the Federation of the Milky Way. In addition to the famous figures recorded in the Cultivation history of Chaotian, there were also many figures like Mr. Dan.
The Cultivation practitioners who had succeeded in ascension had their own Dao and strong willpower, so they would form different sects. The problem was that these sects were closely related to each other, so there was no chance for them to take advantage of them. The main reason was that they had a leader, the Grandmaster of Aoyama, and they were also facing a strong external pressure, Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu would either wake up or die in forty-seven days, and the Grandmaster of Aoyama would be even more indifferent to the affairs of the mortal world. The upper echelons of the human civilization would become looser, and problems would arise.
The Joyous Monk had told Zhao Layue about his plan, and he would try to persuade more ascendants. Moreover, he was indeed qualified and capable of challenging the Grandmaster of Aoyama.
"Chen Ya and the Joyous Monk have a good relationship, but I don't think they will side with him because of the Grandmaster of Pure Yang." Zhao Layue picked up a piece of coriander and put it into her mouth. "The most important thing is, how many people will side with us in the end?"
She didn't tell Tong Yan about the Green Sky Mirror. Though she didn't play chess, she was nevertheless a member of the Aoyama Sect, so she had to keep her trust in her.
Hearing this, Tong Yan fell silent for a while. Looking at the coriander in Zhao Layue's mouth, he felt the taste of it was tasteless.
After coming to this world, he had studied the chess games in the rare leisure time. He found that they were quite simple, especially a game called Space Army Chess. Though it was merely a game, it had the meaning of simplifying the grand principles.
Any competition of the grand principles would result in a life-and-death struggle in the end. In other words, one had to rely on the strength to solve the problem, which was simply to send a general to fight against a general. How many people were standing on the opposite side, and how many were standing on his side?
"I'm going to go to the Shen," he suddenly said.
Zhao Layue put down the chopsticks and said to him seriously, "It's very dangerous."
Shen Yunmai was the son of the grandmaster of Green Mountain. The Shen family had an important and mysterious status in the Federation of the Milky Way.
With the information provided by the Master Dan, Tong Yan would be able to find the planet where the Shen Clan was located. As for why he wanted to go to the Shen Clan, the reason was simple.
"No one knows where that battleship is, and it may never be found. But now, it seems that we need to find it."
"Yan asked. said," he "Shen", "Shen," Yan's say. "
He said, Tong't. up and he't. he, "Yan"
He "Ping" t. "Su", and, and left, and he "," t. he ".
It was late at night. The stars hung in the sky in Silence, illuminating the small yellow flowers in the fields and the people in the darkness of the night.
Tong Yan lifted his head while carrying his luggage. His line of sight passed through the empty patch of the Haiyin Nebula and fixed on an inconspicuous white permanent star in the distance.
Chaotian was right there.
He hadn't left Chaotian for a long time, so he didn't miss it too much, nor did he wish to see the Fairy Lady Over the Waves or someone else on the ocean. All he wanted to do was to do some simple math.
Few ascendants would stand on their side. It was related to the survival of the humans and the grand principles. Another reason was that the ascendants like Chen Ya were the seniors, and they were the newcomers. The old guys didn't like the newcomers no matter where they were and what era they were in.
It would be better if those guys could ascend sooner.
Tong Yan thought to himself.
If Liu Shisui, Zhuo Rusui, Zen Master, and especially Peng Lang and his wife could all come out, whom would they be afraid of?
Was there any way to break open the invisible boundary line and let the people of Chaotian come out?
Tong Yan was a wise person, and he knew that this was something he could only think about, not think too deeply about.
The outstanding figures like the Grandmasters of Aoyama and the Joyous Monk must have thought about this matter many times.
Yet, they didn't try to do so, and they didn't even plan to do so. It meant that this matter couldn't be touched.
If the boundary line was broken, would the collision and annihilation of matter and antimatter destroy the whole universe? Even if such a terrible outcome didn't occur, what would happen if the Sea of Dark Matter entered Chaotian? The humans wouldn't even have a last refuge then.
The fear the Cultivation practitioners of Chaotian had toward the heavenly demons of the outside world probably had something to do with the collective subconscious. From this perspective, the original idea of Taiping Zhenren and his Master was not wrong, but they had to sacrifice too many people for the sake of the future of the humans … What was the difference now that the Grandmasters of Aoyama and the other ascendants wanted to sacrifice the life of Jing Jiu for the sake of the future of the humans?
It was true that there was no difference.
As far as Tong Yan was concerned, all this was even less important. He didn't care about the death of Jing Jiu. The reason he cooperated with Zhao Layue to do these things was that he was used to such a stance, and he was more familiar with Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue, and there was another more important reason.
Zhao Layue was also aware of this reason, which was why she trusted him so much, just like she trusted the Immortal Tan.
Tong Yan pulled back his gaze and walked toward the other end of the dark street after finishing the self-verification that he had done every few years.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at a regular farm on Planet Tianpu. After a careful search and verification, he paid a large amount of credit points and boarded a spaceship.
The farm was surrounded by the windbreak forest dozens of meters high, which blocked the light of the spaceship from being discovered by the police. As for how to fly out of the atmosphere, it was believed that the smuggling organization had its own ways.
Tong Yan ignored the gazes of his companions and walked to the seat near the window in the front while carrying the luggage. After fastening the seat belt, he asked for a cup of tea.
Seeing this, the stowaways on the spaceship were startled, wondering where this strange person came from.
Along with a deep buzzing sound and a clear vibration, the spaceship left the ground, leaving a clear trace in the wheat field, and soon arrived in the sky.
Holding the teacup, Tong Yan looked at the distant city outside the window expressionlessly. He recognized the location of the Second Female Normal University through the lines of the street lamps, his light eyebrows raised slightly.
He didn't lie to the young woman named Chen Dan.
The tour group wouldn't leave until six days later.
However, he was going to leave today.
He might not come back in the future.
…
…
The stowaway spaceship was completely shielded from the interplanetary network. These organizations living in the shadows seemed to have their own network system. Thinking about how this network system needed to cross multiple galaxies, Tong Yan was very interested. He connected his bracelet to the internal system of the spaceship and made some data markings and backdoors. Then he closed his eyes to rest.
After leaving the atmosphere of Planet Tianpu, the spaceship entered a stable flight state. There was no sound outside the window and the starlight wasn't dazzling. It was very suitable for rest.
The window was the best position. Many people began to talk about him but no one dared to provoke him. Who knew if he was a retired special forces soldier or someone's son-in-law?
After an unknown amount of time, Tong Yan opened his eyes and woke up. He shook his head at the waiter's question, indicating that he didn't need to eat. The tea was good and he could make another pot.
Time passed in the changing starlight. Tong Yan closed his eyes most of the time until he was awakened by the slight vibration of his bracelet. He knew it was time to leave.
He called the waiter to clean up the teapot, got up, picked up his luggage and walked out of the spaceship.
Looking at this scene, everyone was stunned. The originally noisy environment became abnormally quiet.
He lowered his head and people could only see his pale face, long eyelashes and an inexplicable touch of childishness.
A faint mist appeared in the spaceship and the stowaways exclaimed. Then it was quiet again because everyone had fallen asleep.
After a few seconds, the stowaways and the staff of the spaceship woke up. In fact, they didn't know they had fallen asleep and didn't know what had happened. They continued to chat like before.
The waiter looked at the empty seat and was puzzled. Were the stowaways so poor that they couldn't bear to part with this little money? Then he found that he was holding a teapot that was still warm.
…
…
Drifting in the dark space, Tong Yan held the luggage in his right hand and looked at the planet not far away.
It looked like a classic scene in a movie of the distant past.
This planet was not listed in the astronomical code of the Federation of the Milky Way. Few people knew of its existence, just like the planet where Zhao Layue was at the moment.
The Shen family was on this planet.
To put it more precisely, this planet existed for the sake of the Shen family.
Tong Yan drifted toward the planet. He sensed a few powerful energies on the planet from a long distance.
The luggage he was carrying was quite ordinary, but it had been kept by his side. There must be something important in it, which was not suitable to be stored in a space magic treasure.
The surface of the planet was covered by white clouds. It was neither too far nor too close to the fixed star. It looked quite ordinary, but it must be extraordinary given that there were so many powerful energies on it.
He was a Daoist figure in the State of Dachen before his ascension, but those energies could make him feel threatened. They were at least the swordsmen in the State of Inherited Night in this world.
According to the information provided by Mr. Dan and the female priest of the Stargate, there were only a dozen swordsmen in the State of Inherited Night in the Federation of the Milky Way. Unexpectedly, there were so many of them on this planet.
The expression on Tong Yan's face didn't change at all. He continued drifting toward the planet with the luggage in his hand. Soon, he disappeared into the clouds.
The flowing clouds and fog looked like a real river, appearing exceedingly thick and heavy.
He had used his spiritual awareness to check the surroundings before he landed. He was certain that the old house of the Shen family was in the deep end of the clouds and fog, surrounded by a large formation.
Six local swordsmen in the State of Inherited Night in the Federation of the Milky Way guarded the entrances and exits of the formations. The formation itself was quite powerful. It would be difficult for any other ascendant to break through it.
Yet, Tong Yan was not a regular ascendant. He was the sect master of the Zhongzhou School and a practitioner of the most orthodox Daoist magic methods in Chaotian, and he was good at breaking through the formations.
Those swordsmen in the State of Inherited Night didn't discover his arrival, and the formation didn't react to his arrival either. He had taken the position of the Zhen Star and found the path leading to the deep end of the clouds and fog.
To reach the deep end of the clouds and fog, he had to solve some problems first, like the old man who had suddenly appeared in front of him.
The clouds and fog came out from the cracks of the conical hat like the silk strands, but they stayed on the wrinkles of the old man for a longer time. It was easy to associate him with the old men in the Jianghu who liked smoking coarse tobacco in the movies.
Who was this old man wearing the conical hat?
Without hesitation, Tong Yan walked over and lifted the conical hat off the man's head. He saw a face that was a bit ugly but full of a simple and unadorned appearance.
He had been a disciple of the Aoyama for a while and had seen those portraits in that small building, so he knew this was the face of the Grandmaster of the Aoyama. Of course, this old man was not the Grandmaster of the Aoyama, but a cyborg who looked like him.
"The young people nowadays are getting more and more impolite," the old man complained in a low voice as he took the conical hat back and put it on carefully.
