Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Yi Chen didn't respond to Miao Zi's words, his attention was completely captivated by the illusory scene before him.

The wolf-head gold seal in his hand suddenly emitted a golden light, resonating with the iron throne beneath him, and a strange force burst forth, swirling around Yi Chen. His spirit began to soar, and he was able to perceive the entirety of Lord Tan Lang's palace.

There was a main hall, three side halls, a training room, a martial arts field, an alchemy room, meditation chambers....

In total, there were no fewer than thirty different functional areas.

Then, Yi Chen felt the star pool formation within the grand hall. Dense, intricate patterns spread throughout the interior and exterior of the hall, forming a magnificent and colossal formation that was continuously drawing in and absorbing the qi of the stars from the heavens and earth, funneling it into the star pool to provide energy for the palace.

There were about a hundred crimson light spots in the grand hall; when Yi Chen's spirit drew closer to inspect, they turned out to be puppets hidden in the shadows, all of different giant wolf designs. Some were enormous in size, some had high-raised wolf heads with large gun barrels emerging from within, others were petitely built, and some had metal wings sprouting from their ribs.

Clearly, these were the battle guardians of the Tan Lang Star Palace.

Deep in the palace's underground, a five-meter-tall werewolf puppet with strong, sharp lines stood silently.

At that moment, the glowing wolf-head gold seal in Yi Chen's hand suddenly levitated and affixed itself with a click into a recess at the back of the iron throne.

At this point, a stream of information suddenly surged into his mind, and the secrets of the entire Tan Lang Star Palace were now clear to Yi Chen.

The star pool formation seemed like a control nexus, already branded with his spiritual imprint. With just a thought from him, he could activate the various functional modules of the grand formation, such as the cleaning formation, automatic defense formation.

The star pool formed by the gathered star force was the energy source for the entire palace, suspended above the ceiling of the grand hall. When specific types of star primordial stones were cast into the star pool, the formation could maintain high-power operation.

"This is practically a war fortress. If my perception is not wrong, this grand star pool formation should only be a unit of an even larger formation."

"Is Free Sky preparing for a certain moment?"

Yi Chen's heart was deeply shaken.

Cutting through the complicated emotions in his heart, Yi Chen took out the jade scroll given by Yuan Jun and began to read it carefully.

Free Sky had few rules; the first was that betrayal was not allowed, offenders would be executed along with their associates.

The second rule was not to deliberately inquire into each other's identities, presenting themselves only by their given titles.

The third rule was not to disclose the true identities of other organization members to outsiders.

...

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Yi Chen, with a puzzled expression, took out the blue Star Disc. He finally understood what Doumu Origin Lord had been doing with the purple Star Disc earlier.

Simply put, the Star Disc was akin to a local network node from his previous life, capable of bridging and setting up point-to-point communications within a certain range.

This was the proud creation of the contemporary Heavenly Master.

If he wasn't mistaken, Yuan Jun had probably been using the Star Disc to inquire about his information from some Lord of the stars.

Besides that, if one wanted to return to Free Sky from outside, the Star Disc was needed as a medium to do so, with two conditions to be met.

The first condition was to use the Star Disc to guide for ten seconds without interference; if anomalies occurred during this process, it was best to find a secluded place.

The second condition was to drip the essence of gold onto the Star Disc to serve as its energy source, the amount needed depended on the distance.

The so-called essence of gold referred to the quintessence extracted from gold, commonly used in pill talisman formations. Ten thousand taels of gold, smelted with true fire, was required to extract a single drop of the essence of gold, which was applied broadly similar to how gold was used in modern industry.

Similar to this was the essence of silver, and this too was one of the significant reasons why gold and silver were valuable in the cultivation world.

One drop of essence of gold in Free Sky could be exchanged for ten Contribution Points, while one drop of the essence of silver could get one Contribution Point.

"Miao Zi, stop flipping around and go cultivate,"

"Do you realize how close you came to being an orphan? Without your dad to cover for you, who could you beat outside?"

Grasping Miao Zi by the nape of his neck, Yi Chen strode into the cultivation room, where he summoned the weakest of the giant wolf puppets with a mere thought.

Suddenly, a light shield flashed into existence, trapping Miao Zi and the giant wolf inside. Watching Miao Zi being chased around by the giant wolf, yelping as he ran, Yi Chen nodded in satisfaction.

His beloved pet actually held boundless potential. However, the older he got, the lazier he became, a sharp contrast to his energetic self when he was just born. Now was the perfect moment to boost his strength and hone his combat skills.

To prevent Miao Zi from being beaten to death, Yi Chen considerately sat down cross-legged outside the light shield to heal. For a time, the light inside the cultivation room fluctuated, and winds rose from nowhere.

Two days later.

Yi Chen picked up Miao Zi, who was as exhausted as a dead dog, for the fifth time. His injuries had fully healed, and he had returned to his vigorous and lively state.

"Damn that Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple, and the Yan Family as well. I, Yi Chengzi, will remember this kindness." After making another note in his little book, Yi Chen took out the Holy Halberd Tian Wen and placed it across his knees, intending to gain insight from it.

That day, in the final moments, he had unleashed half a halberd technique that seemed to reverse the world.

The immense power within the technique left him deeply shocked even now. Although he didn't master it completely, it had shown him the way forward for the sixth move.

Connecting deeply with the technique, he tapped into the power of his soul.

If he could comprehend the complete reversal of the world, Yi Chen felt that he would possess an ace up his sleeve, greatly enhancing his combat ability in an extremely short period.

After a long while, while Yi Chen was still engaged in deep contemplation, the blue Star Disc at his side began to emit a faint light.

A line of text suddenly appeared on his Star Disc.

[Doumu Origin Lord: "Are you healed? If so, come to the Doumu Origin Lord's palace immediately. There is a mission."]

[Lord Tan Lang: "Healed, will be there shortly."]

At this point, Yi Chen had already used the Star Disc several times. The Star Disc could only communicate when both parties were within a sufficient range.

When one's spirit immersed into the Star Disc, they could see the major stars representing various individuals within the organization. By finding the desired illuminated star and focusing one's spirit on it, using one's thoughts to write on the Star Disc, one could communicate.

The blue Star Disc that Yi Chen held could communicate over distances as far as a hundred thousand miles, while the white Star Discs held by the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions only worked within a radius of ten thousand miles.

The first time he used it, Yi Chen even specifically asked about the Star Pool formation in the Tan Lang Star Palace to see if it was part of a larger formation. As it turned out, he guessed correctly.

The Big Dipper commands murder.

The seven Star Palaces, with the Doumu Origin Lord's palace as the focal point, could form the Doumu Origin Annihilation Divine Formation, with boundless might.

The only drawback was that to activate the Star Palaces even once, they had to channel starlight using the main formation, basking for a full one hundred and eighty years to be able to fully utilize the Doumu Origin Annihilation Divine Formation for a single day....

If activated with Star Elemental Stones, the cost was so high that two visits to Zi Zai Heaven would bankrupt one.

Stuffing Miao Zi into the spirit beast bag, Yi Chen hurriedly rushed towards the Doumu Origin Lord's palace.

Contrary to Yi Chen's expectations, there was a monk wearing a plain white mask standing beside Doumu Origin Lord, exuding an aura like a deep pool or a towering peak, with a strictly imposing presence.

"Lord Tan Lang, this is Lord Lu Cun, the Yuan Jun. You two should talk face to face." After a casual greeting, Doumu Origin Lord went back to eating her Spirit Fruit.

"Lord Tan Lang, I had an old friendship with a deceased elder of the Hehuan Sect," Lu Cun began, "Today, I received news from my subordinates that someone is targeting the Hehuan Sect from the shadows. The situation is rather complex,

and it might be dangerous for the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions. I'd like to ask you, Lord Tan Lang, to intervene on our behalf, infiltrate the Hehuan Sect, and secretly eliminate the peril they face this time."

"I am willing to offer five hundred Contribution Points, a copy of the 'Great Divine Power of Taiqing Morality Fundamental Scripture' and derived from this scripture, the 'Qing Niu Spirit-Splitting Divine Power.' Would Lord Tan Lang be willing to lend Lu Cun a helping hand on this occasion?"

"Ah? Where is the Hehuan Sect? Why have I never heard of this faction?" Yi Chen was a bit confused.

"It's just a small faction in the Eastern Continent. Zi Zai Heaven is near the Eastern Continent, and the Heavenly Master studies deeply. We have a Teleportation Array set up within Zi Zai Heaven, and communicating is not an issue if Lord Tan Lang is willing to intervene. I will bear the costs for the Teleportation Array."

"Lord Lu Cun, how can I manage to infiltrate the Hehuan Sect?" Yi Chen looked troubled.
