Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1314 - 1313: The Fleet Descends, Peril Comes to the Cultivation World!
Chapter 1314: Chapter 1313: The Fleet Descends, Peril Comes to the Cultivation World!
The Cultivation World had been in a state of war preparation for over half a year, and news of cultivators making breakthroughs followed in quick succession. "mini Lu Yangs" and talents comparable to Lu Yang were springing up everywhere, as if every genius could compete with the famous Lu Yang of the past in arm wrestling.
The so-called "Little Meng Jingzhous" were much fewer in number, as mimicking Meng Jingzhou was a daunting challenge—that every genius didn’t dream of spending a spring night with a Holy Daughter or a Demoness.
Initially, Lu Yang wanted to stop this negative trend, but given his previous fame and everyone taking him as their target, the bad influence was overwhelming and simply unstoppable.
Lu Yang could only sigh about this. Spending his days in the newspaper office reading intelligence reports, after some time, he automatically filtered out the words "mini Lu Yang."
This also reflected the vibrant and aspirational spirit of the current Cultivation World. Everyone was seizing this great opportunity and cultivating as if their lives depended on it.
If one could distinguish themselves in the upcoming battle against the Candle Sky Civilization, that would be perfect.
By now, enough events were unfolding in the Cultivation World every moment to fill the newspapers, and the weekly publications were no longer satisfying the needs of the populace.
Fortunately, Dean Gao’s rescue team had achieved a significant breakthrough in the integration of spiritual energy and technology, making it possible to mass-produce Quantum Communication Devices. However, the cost had not yet come down, so it was common for several households to pool their resources to purchase a single device.
Communication efficiency improved significantly, and it was only logical for newspapers to go from "Cultivation Weekly" to "Cultivation Daily."
"How strange, why haven’t the Candle Sky Civilization’s warships arrived yet?" Emperor Xia and others were puzzled. It had already been over half a year, and Lu Yang took less than a month to return to the Cultivation World from the Interstellar Alliance.
"Could they have encountered some mishap on the way?" Zhu Tian speculated while chatting with Emperor Xia using a Quantum Communication Device.
"Aren’t they supposed to be Cosmic Dominators? What kind of mishap could there be?"
...
The launch of "Cultivation Daily" meant publishing a newspaper every day, which significantly increased the workload. Lu Yang really couldn’t handle it and wanted to sneak away.
But after all, it was he who had told Daoist Xiantian and Gu Junye that he would handle the newspaper matters.
Once spoken, it was not easy to go back on his word. Lu Yang had no choice but to claim that as a Semi-Immortal, he had to take up the responsibility of guarding the Cultivation World and went to the entrance of the Cultivation World to seek some peace.
At the entrance to the Cultivation World, two layers of defense were established. The first line of defense was made up of Body Integration Realm Cultivators, and the second line was maintained by Pass Tribulation Cultivators, with regular rotations in place to prevent surprise attacks from the Candle Sky Civilization.
Pass Tribulation Cultivators were mostly of the older generation, and Lu Yang was not familiar with them, so he blended in with the team of Integration Period Cultivators—fortunately, he knew some people there.
...
Not far from the Cultivation World, space distorted and a fleet of flesh-like ships emerged through Wormholes.
Eager to reach the Cultivation World as soon as possible, Shi Wumian ordered the fleet to accelerate at all costs. In just under a year, they arrived at their destination.
The moment the spatial jump was complete, Spirit Stone detection radars blared incessantly, and the dial was filled with countless red dots.
Shi Wumian excitedly rubbed his hands together. To him, the sound was incredibly delightful—it meant that the Cultivator named Lu Yang hadn’t deceived the Interstellar Alliance, and the Cultivation World had an inexhaustible supply of Spirit Stones!
Even at Lord Heavenly Emperor’s place of origin, the radar hadn’t reacted so violently!
There might be too many Spirit Stones for all one thousand five hundred warships to carry!
He already envisioned returning fully loaded and the rewards Lord Heavenly Emperor would bestow upon him.
Shi Wumian forced himself to calm down, enlarged the radar dial and projected it onto a screen, so that all the commanders could see.
"You see, the Cultivation World possesses an immense amount of Spirit Stones, but the most numerous and highest quality ones are in these five locations."
Shi Wumian pointed with his baton to five unknown regions, where the red dots were densest and even turned purple.
"In a while, each of you will lead two hundred warships through Directional Wormholes to these five places to plunder the Spirit Stones—take as much as you can!"
"I will report each of your performances to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor afterward."
In such an uncivilized place, there was no need for rules. Just plunder and that’s it.
"Yes!" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The commanders were bright-eyed and excited, realizing that this was an excellent opportunity to establish their careers and compete for the title of Commander in the future.
This is Shi Wumian’s philosophy of using people; only when you give your subordinates benefits, will they be willing to risk their lives for you.
Assigning these five Commanders can maximize the merit they accrue.
Directional wormholes, a type of wormhole technology that even the Interstellar Alliance has yet to master. As long as the probe can determine the location, there’s no need to set up a signal receiver at the other end; directly constructing a wormhole can ensure arrival at the destination.
Five directional wormholes appeared in front of the fleet, and the Commanders led their warships into the wormholes. The wormholes closed, and the fleet vanished.
Shi Wumian’s fleet consisted of 1,500 warships, of which he dispatched 1,000, leaving him with 500.
It would be unbefitting for the Commander to personally rob others, what he needed to do was to wait for the results here.
After a while, he began to feel puzzled. According to the rules, the fleets must report back after passing through the wormhole, so why was there no movement from these five Commanders after passing through?
"Fleet One, respond."
"Fleet Two, respond."
"Fleet Three..."
"Fleet Four..."
"Fleet Five..."
The communicator made crackling sounds, but there was no response.
Shi Wumian frowned; was the unique terrain of the Cultivation World affecting the signal?
There were precedents of this before, with communications resuming normally at closer distances.
Shi Wumian did not like things being out of control. He ordered the remaining 500 warships to move closer to the Cultivation World.
...
Fleet One passed through the wormhole with radars nearly bursting at the seams, and the Commander was quite excited; this might be the place with the largest quantity of Spirit Stones out of the five locations.
"Report to the Commander, the area below seems to be an undeveloped remote mountain region, with sparse buildings in the mountains."
The Commander, hearing the report, looked downward. It was true; at a glance, the area was full of mountains with few signs of development. It seemed the people living here were quite primitive.
"Land."
A technician saluted and reported, "Report to the Commander, an abnormal energy field detected, initially suspected to be a natural field formed by the excessive and irregular distribution of local Spirit Stones. The fleet is unable to land."
The energy detection dial showed abnormal data, a situation that had never been encountered before.
The Commander frowned, trouble at a critical moment: "What’s the solution?"
"We could try neutralizing the field with the maximum power of the Energy Beam."
"Permission granted."
Boom—
An immaculate Energy Beam, long charged, descended from the sky and hit the Sect Protection Array of the Seek Dao Sect, causing slight ripples.
Chasing Moon True Person and Qinghe, who were drinking tea on the snowy mountain, along with River Spirit bathing in the river, all looked up simultaneously at the sky at the oddly shaped fleet, resembling caterpillars, feeling puzzled.
Hadn’t two defensive lines been set up at the entrance? How did this fleet get in?
And were they... attacking the Seek Dao Sect?
Inside Captive Peak, the prisoners hearing the commotion all witnessed this scene, dumbstruck.
Through the newspaper, they were informed about the affairs of the Candle Sky Civilization, but they never imagined that the Candle Sky Civilization would dare to attack the Seek Dao Sect.
Guan Shanhai couldn’t help it and burst into laughter.
