Chapter 2289: No Blade, No Sword

ianning was also vigilantly observing Lin Baitai and Fang Yu.The strength these two individuals are displaying is truly remarkable, unlike anything I've ever witnessed!Standing so close to the two of...Fang Yu shook his head and placed the unconscious Wu Feng aside.

Then, he walked towards Lingjing Mountain once more.

This time, after running the Soul Devouring Art, he closed his eyes and entered the second level of the Universe Tower.

Fang Yu sat on the ground, a small blue sapling before him.

Above the seedlings, a large amount of spiritual energy transformed into tiny raindrops, slowly falling down.

Some fall directly onto the seedlings, while others land in the soil beside them.

The tiny seedling faintly glowed.

Time passes slowly.

Fang Yu absorbed one spiritual crystal mountain after another, using them to nourish the young saplings.

However, the sapling seemed to have stopped growing. Although it continued to absorb the nutrients transformed from spiritual energy, there wasn't much visible change.

"Master, I want to remind you that saplings, just like humans, have a limited capacity for absorption within a certain period of time..." At this moment, the tears of the extreme cold appeared beside Fang Yu and spoke.

Fang Yu turned his head and glanced at the Tears of Frost, sighed, and said: "It seems to be true. It's really not possible to force growth. I originally thought that the plants growing on the second floor of the Tower of Heaven and Earth would be different, at least in terms of absorption ability..."

Actually, when Fang Yu saw that the seedlings had no change, he had already thought of this.

And the reminder of the Tears of Frost confirmed this.

The lesson of "helping the seedlings grow too quickly" needs no elaboration, and it is actually similar to the situation when cultivators practice.

Haste makes waste.

As a farmer with many years of experience in growing vegetables, Fang Yu is well aware of this.

But he just wanted to try it out.

It seems forcing irrigation is useless now.

"Still need to take it one step at a time." Fang Yu stood up and stopped absorbing spiritual energy.

Leaving the Qikun Tower, the Spirit Crystal Mountain before him had already been absorbed by him for fifteen.

But there are still hundreds left, which can be said to be inexhaustible.

It takes a long time to absorb completely.

Now, Fang Yu doesn't need to absorb so much spiritual energy. It has already reached the point of overflowing.

"I have to find a way to move this entire Spirit Crystal Mountain..." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

There are nearly five hundred Spiritual Crystal Mountains here. To move them all, you would need a storage space of considerable size.

It takes time to open up such a space...

Fan Yu looked around, his brows furrowed, and touched his chin.

"That's right, this space is pretty good. I don't need to move Lingjing Mountain...Wouldn't it be better if I made this space mine" Fang Yu thought to himself.

This place is an independent space, accessible only to those possessing the relevant "keys," such as the crystal spirit token used by Wu Feng.

Now Fang Yu has to do... change the locks.

As a result, the several two-star Grand Commanders from the Ninth Division would no longer be able to enter this place.

Here, it becomes his exclusive private space.

This idea is good, but there are still some considerable difficulties in putting it into practice.

He has to figure out how the 'lock' of this space works before he can make any changes.

Fang Yu raised his head, the mark of the golden cross sword appearing in his pupils as he began to study it.

……

In a star system not far from the ninth sector, a super-sized starship is traveling at high speed.

The direction of the voyage is Ninth Part!

In form like a giant shark, its head bore aloft a banner.

Above were two large characters shining brightly.

First!

This is the First Team of the illustrious Xian Chen cultivator group within the ninth base camp of the Kai Shan Alliance!

At this moment, in the council chamber, Wu Jian, the commander of the First Regiment of Xian Chen, sat on the high seat with a grim expression.

Before him, several subordinates knelt, trembling and afraid to speak.

Without a sword, he wore black. His brows and eyes were like swords, fierce and sharp. Though his face was handsome and dignified, there always seemed to be an aura of savagery about him.

And at this moment, the ferocious aura emanating from him was truly palpable.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely somber.

The reason for this situation is because we received bad news from the Second Regiment of Xiàn Chén.

First-ranked Second Regiment Commander Bahu was massacred...all regiment members' cultivation bases were abolished!

For a monastic community, this blow is devastating.

Even it could be said that the Second Regiment of Xian Chen just vanished.

While the Second Squad of Xiān Chén is a representative of the Xiān Chén cultivator group, simultaneously... its status within the Xiān Chén cultivator group ranks second only to the First Squad.

Now, the Second Regiment of Xian Chen has suffered such a heavy blow.

This message, sent back to Xian Chen's First Regiment, enraged Wu Jian and terrified the other members.

You must know that Bahu is the most valued subordinate of Wujian. Since Wujian first established the Xianchen cultivator group, Bahu has followed him through thick and thin.

No one could have imagined that Ba Hu, the second-in-command of the Xian Chen cultivator group, a figure who stood only below the leader and above everyone else... would meet such a tragic end.

And Wu Jian, after his fit of rage subsided, immediately ordered a march to the Ninth Division.

But all members didn't understand Mujian's intention.

Although the Xianxiu group was quite renowned in the Ninth Main Camp,

Most places like this are not easily accessible and you'll likely be stopped from entering.

Even if you meet the Martial Commander without a sword, it's useless.

But even if no one knew the meaning behind Wu Jian's actions, no one dared to ask at this time.

Wu Jian's face was gloomy, and he remained silent.

He came to the Ninth District for help, seeking revenge for Ba Hu!

As for who to look for help from... outsiders would never guess.

To outsiders, Wujian's greatest backer appears to be his close relationship with Wuyang, a high-ranking commander of the Ninth Army.

But in reality, that's a relationship that has been concealed.

The one truly close to Wu Jian is... the Western District Grand Leader, Wufeng!

They are brothers!

And there's also Brother Wu Xiang, a major general of the second rank!

Of the three brothers, only Wujian has not directly served the Kaisha League. Therefore, his relationship with Wu Feng and Wu Xiang has not been made public to avoid suspicion.

And Wu Jian's success today is largely due to his two older brothers.

Behind the scenes, his two older brothers provided great support to Wu Jian.

Otherwise, the Xian Xiu group led by Cian Chen would not have developed so rapidly, nor could it have such a high reputation within the ninth main camp, like a small alliance.

This time, hearing that the second squadron of Xianchen had an accident, and also hearing about Bahu's tragic death... Wujian couldn't suppress the boundless hatred in his heart.

Even at the risk of exposing his identity, he had to go to the Ninth Division and ask his elder brother Wu Feng for help, to find that bastard Fang Yu and skin him alive!

"Sir...the wounded from the Second Company at Xianchen...how should we handle them"

At this time, some subordinates still mustered their courage to ask.

Wu Jian coldly looked at his subordinate, and said in a frigid voice: "Deal with it as you see fit. There's no need to ask me about this kind of thing. Now, our only objective for the First Squad is to avenge Ba Hu!" Tianhe's sarcastic expression.“You dare even think about the token that Sha Shen Temple gave me You, you dog, are truly oblivious! Bah!” Xie Tianhe spat his cigar onto the ground and then raised his...
