Ren Tu True Sage’s words were indeed accurate. When Feng Jun led this team back, what was their composition?
There were four Master Xuanhuangs, plus Feng Jun making five Masters. Their concealnt abilities were not impressive.
However, these five were never the main combat force. The four Master Xuanhuangs were rely record keepers. Feng Jun’s most glorious mont was relying on True Sage Diao Sou’s support to secretly kill a Flying Centipede.
In addition to this, there were a few with slightly lower cultivation levels. Ming Xin True Immortal from Master Xuanhuang was one of them, and Xuanshui Sect also had one. Besides that, the lowest cultivation in the team was Nascent Soul Middle Phase, and there were only three at that level: Xuanhuang’s Chen Xi, Yuangang’s Hua Sheng, and Spirit Plant Taoist Huo Liu.
The remaining Qing Ji, Yi Jue, Cang Jing, Yaoyang, and Qinghuang were all Nascent Soul High Stage.
Even the four True Immortals invited by Elder Cang Jing this ti were all Nascent Soul High Stage.
This wasn’t simply a case of cultivation discrimination; the higher the cultivation, the more cautious their actions, and the higher their thods.
True Sage Diao Sou, you brought in fifty True Immortals, which isn’t impossible. First, tell , how many are Nascent Soul Initial Stage?
True Sage Diao Sou was a bit startled by these words. Then, he glanced at the four Nascent Soul High Stage brought by Cang Jing before saying, "I can’t guarantee fifty True Immortals, but for ten steady ones... there’s no problem at all."
"True Sage Diao Sou," Feng Jun had to speak, "my teleportation ability is limited. Having too many people would put too much pressure on . I would need to pay certain costs... or perhaps you’d send another wisp of Xuanhuang energy?"
"What do you think Xuanhuang energy is?" True Sage Diao Sou looked at him with a mix of amusent and exasperation.
In fact, with his True Sage status, obtaining a wisp of Xuanhuang energy isn’t too difficult.
His storeroom still held a wisp in reserve, ready to be given away at any mont. There was no need to hoard too much, as he could borrow so if necessary—not out of competition, but because giving it to those who truly needed it was the proper course.
However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he naturally wouldn’t say, "Xuanhuang energy is nothing."
The proper course was for him to realize, taking this as the excuse to de-escalate. So he stated seriously, "Xuanhuang energy is the foundation of our Xuanhuang. You’ve already received a wisp; a second wisp is out of the question."
Yi Jue couldn’t help but offer Feng Jun a smug glance: The second wisp... it’s with .
Feng Jun felt that True Sage Diao Sou’s expression seed a bit exaggerated—shouldn’t a True Sage be impassive?
However, he didn’t know much about the status of Xuanhuang energy within Xuanshui Sect, and didn’t dare make a rash judgnt—that would be gravely disrespectful to Xuanshui Sect, so he could only open his hands, "Then I’m sorry, I can’t transport that many people."
"Transporting is a favor, not transporting is a duty," suddenly, a voice spoke up.
The speaker was Elder Cang Jing. She didn’t dare to look at True Sage Diao Sou directly, but rely lowered her eyelids.
In truth, she wasn’t afraid of offending True Sage Diao Sou, but outward respect was necessary. Moreover, she truly believed that taking advantage of Feng Jun was acceptable, but not if it beca too expected.
Finally, she threw out a bombshell, "I also want to invite our sect’s True Sage to rescue the Human Race, but I’m worried that Mountain Master Feng’s team might fall short, so... let’s do it to the best of our ability."
True Sage Diao Sou wasn’t impressed, and asked without emotion, "Which True Sage from Xuanshui do you want to invite?"
If you dare to ask, do I not dare to answer? Elder Cang Jing responded expressionlessly, "Han Hai True Sage."
Han Hai True Sage was also notoriously difficult to deal with. Three hundred years ago, he flooded a secret realm, directly wiping out one of the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families, and back then, a dozen other families attempted to dissuade him.
It was rumored that Han Hai True Sage once fought a Divine Spirit Master, but whether true or not, only the parties involved could say, and such news was necessarily suppressed.
True Sage Diao Sou couldn’t help but ask again, "Are you just using a major figure as a front?"
He dared to argue with Ren Tu True Sage and wouldn’t put Tuotuo or Luan Xiong True Sage in his eyes, but Han Hai True Sage... he was genuinely concerned.
Elder Cang Jing shook her head, without further explanation, simply uttering four words, "It’s really not."
These words weren’t a joke. Han Hai True Sage owed her a favor. If she encountered a colossal issue, she could indeed call on Han Hai True Sage, but she wouldn’t casually waste such a resource.
However, for the current situation, even if she invited Han Hai True Sage, it might not be repaying a favor. Largely speaking, it’s a good thing, but even Elder Cang Jing wouldn’t easily trouble him just because of his renowned na.
Yet acknowledging that Han Hai True Sage might enter the Insect World, True Sage Diao Sou couldn’t remain calm, "Alright, get back to Xuanhuang first. I’ll select ten Nascent Souls... Mountain Master Feng, ten Nascent Souls won’t be a problem, right?"
Feng Jun touched his forehead and replied helplessly, "True Sage, since you say so, there is no problem, but I am only responsible for sending them there. As for the return... I might be unable to do it."
"Then, should we now..." The Fishing Elder True Sage wanted to imdiately bring him back to the Xuanhuang Sect, but seeing Ren Tu True Sage’s eternally unchanged grim face, he finally realized his mistake, "Go to Lingzhi Dao first?"
Ultimately, Feng Jun withdrew people from the insect race battlefield, which wasn’t problematic—ti for rest—but too many problems surfaced during the return.
Firstly, a Taixu True Sage inexplicably appeared—well, not entirely inexplicable, since Feng Jun teleported to the Hot Spring Plate for safety.
Then, four True Immortals from Xuanshui Sect arrived, which... again wasn’t very surprising.
However, Yi Jue wanted to recruit fellow sect mbers from Lingzhi Dao, complicating matters... Well, what can be said about Yi Jue’s comrades?
The Fishing Elder True Sage wanted to bring fifty Nascent Souls, which was impossible, but adding a few Nascent Souls instead was reasonable.
Later, upon gathering at the Yellow Sky Plate, the team included twenty-five True Immortals—four from Xuanshui Sect, three from Lingzhi Dao, nine from Xuanhuang Sect, and, upon hearing the news, Yuangang Sect had also sent nine True Immortals.
The Fishing Elder True Sage couldn’t stop them; instead, he had to shalessly keep enlisting Feng Jun’s help.
Fortunately, due to the dispute between Ren Tu True Sage and the Fishing Elder True Sage, everyone was mindful of cultivation levels when introducing their comrades.
Among the twenty-five True Immortals, most were High Stage Nascent Souls. A few were Interdiate Level as guaranteed by Xuanhuang and Yuangang Sects, ensuring their competencies; there wasn’t a single Initial Stage Nascent Soul.
Feng Jun felt troubled; previously, he brought back twelve True Immortals. With these twenty-five, the number of True Immortals reached thirty-seven, coupled with True Sages and Masters, totaling over forty people.
And yet, this was already underway when he was about to lead people into the insect world, three more True Immortals from Jinwu arrived, along with four from Blue Lotus Sect.
These practitioners previously took a mission from the Seven Sects’ main task board, ventured into a dinsion space to exterminate a Sky Demon Nest Cave as the space was sowhat unstable, and also carried a task to seal unstable spatial points.
They spent three years completing the extermination, and two more years recovering and observing the sealing effect.
Confirming no sealing issues, upon returning to the main hall’s liaison office to submit tasks, they heard of a new world, which has quota restrictions but allows tasks’ rewards application, so they unhesitatingly opted for it.
During the Sky Demon Nest’s extermination, nurous cultivators participated, primarily cooperation between Jinwu and Blue Lotus practitioners, with others from the remaining five sects, and even so loose and clan practitioners joining the fight.
The latter two couldn’t claim awards from the Seven Sects’ tasks, but neutralizing the Heavenly Demon itself was profitable.
aning the battle was sizable, lasting quite long; finally, two years post-battle, everyone monitored the sealing effect, affording ample recovery ti.
Coming to the Yellow Sky Plate were over two hundred Blue Lotus and Jinwu practitioners, including twenty-one True Immortals—even with many yet-to-apply Golden Core Cultivators, exceeding six hundred would be effortless.
Xuanhuang and Yuangang Sects couldn’t obstruct; those completing the main task board couldn’t be refused, otherwise the Seven Sects’ main board would beco a joke.
Not to ntion Golden Core Cultivators arriving, while Nascent Soul True Immortals pondered infiltrating the insect world for developnt, hearing of an organized formidable combat team aiming to strike a sizable insect swarm.
Such things needed investigation, and Jinwu’s True Immortals delightedly found two Elders—Qinghuang and Qing Ji—in said team.
Applying for entry, these Elders would advocate for them, and Blue Lotus Sect’s True Immortals ca over, haven’t we fought jointly for three years, guarded the seal for two years, perhaps help endorse us?
Jinwu Sect mbers duly stepped up, advocating, while Feng Jun grew numb, no harm in several more.
However, among the twenty-one True Immortals, only seven fit the requirent; the remaining fourteen were either Nascent Soul Initial Stage or inadequate at concealnt.
Thankfully, the unsuccessful didn’t complain; penetrating deep into the insect race’s territory indeed wasn’t for just anyone.
They even promised those seven, we’ll explore through channels, scouting surroundings, even regional goods trends; once you triumph and return, we’ll resu collaborative exploration.
Friendships forged in combat are indeed distinct.
Hence, as Feng Jun prepared to lead deeper into the insect world, the accompanying team comprised forty-four True Immortals, two True Sages, and four Masters, totaling over fifty people.
Considering this roster, Feng Jun couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: this ti, truly emphasizing transportation logistics.
Clearly, completing transportation of such a large group in one go was impossible, requiring split transport.
