This Dragon-Man on Star Source Star was the one with the highest cultivation level Chen Yi had encountered since he started doing tasks.

As high as the Spirit Sea realm!

It took a full three punches from Chen Yi before its soul scattered and its spirit perished.

First punch.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"

Second punch.

"Stop! Stop right now!! Can we talk?!"

Third punch.

"The human world is doomed! The Void Realm is doomed! Only our Dragon-Man tribe will see the next era! We can cooperate, please stop!!"

Chen Yi disdainfully shook his fist.

"All that nonsense."

Chen Yi didn't care at all what this Dragon-Man was saying.

The Dragon-Man tribe were all high-level special agents; they wouldn't reveal a single secret.

If they were volunteering information, they definitely had an ulterior motive. Believing them was like believing he was Qin Shi Huang.

After eliminating the only Dragon-Man here, Chen Yi entered the cave on Star Source Star to deal with the base here.

Actually, there wasn't much of a cave left anymore.

Chen Yi, with Martial King Realm combat power and a few Immortal Artifacts, had just wreaked havoc here, completely flattening Star Source Star.

Inside the cave base, there was a Dragon-Man formation and a massive amount of information about the Shen Family and the Starry Domains.

[Simulation Task Progress: Destroy Dragon-Man tribe bases (6/6)]

[Guidance Task Completed!]

[Rewards Distributed!]

"Shen Wanquan, oh Shen Wanquan, you really sold out the Shen Family thoroughly."

With just a quick glance, Chen Yi discovered that this information almost stripped the Shen Family bare, down to their underwear.

"This is..."

While confiscating the information, Chen Yi found something that greatly interested him.

"Post-Ancient Era, Human Guardian Inheritance Sequence?"

Chen Yi really wanted to study it immediately.

But Shen Family members had already appeared nearby.

The anomalies on Star Source Star would soon be discovered.

"Back to the ground first, this is no place to linger!"

Chen Yi put on the Shen Family Guard Forces uniform, stepped onto the Star Shuttle, and shot into the Starry Domains.

"Catch the Qiankun Mirror! Don't let it escape! Brothers, go! Over there! Look!!"

Chen Yi shouted while flying, misleading the nearby pursuit forces.

Right now, the Shen Family had to safely escort the guests from the ground away, pursue the Qiankun Mirror, and clean up the mess the Qiankun Mirror had caused.

They were overwhelmed.

Taking advantage of their preoccupation, Chen Yi arrived at the Sky-Earth Barrier near Weedy Star.

"Why isn't the Qiankun Mirror here yet..."

Chen Yi stood on the Sky-Earth Barrier, ready to shatter it and leave at any moment.

Before the Qiankun Mirror officially took action, Chen Yi and it had agreed on a rendezvous point, right here at Weedy Star.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was a bit uneasy.

"The Qiankun Mirror is being chased by the entire Shen Family right now. If it meets up with you, wouldn't it bring the entire Shen Family army right to us? Could we even escape then?"

Chen Yi said calmly.

"Brother Kun can do spatial jumps."

"Good heavens! That half-broken thing still has that ability?"

The Demon Refining Pot chimed in mockingly.

"Hey! Look who's talking! Who do you think you're looking down on? It's a Great Dao Immortal Artifact! There's a fundamental difference between it and man-made Immortal Artifacts like you and me!"

The pot and banner started bickering again, which Chen Yi automatically tuned out.

A moment later.

A strange, kaleidoscopic glow lit up in the distant sky, with distorted space—signs of spatial turbulence.

Suddenly, half of the Qiankun Mirror appeared right in front of Chen Yi.

Chen Yi acted swiftly, taking out the Nine Provinces Cauldron and opening the entrance to the Cauldron Realm.

"In!"

The Qiankun Mirror leaped inside.

"Here I come!!"

Putting away the Nine Provinces Cauldron, Chen Yi punched the Sky-Earth Barrier beneath his feet, smashing a hole through it, and flew away.

In the distance, the Shen Family members pursuing the Qiankun Mirror, finding it had suddenly vanished, started running around like headless flies.

"Where did it go?!"

"Where to?!"

"Gone where?!"

"Don't panic! The Qiankun Mirror still has short-range spatial jump ability! It's nearby, it can't have gone far! Conduct a carpet search on the surrounding stars!"

The commotion in the Starry Domains continued.

When the Sword Lord led his disciples away through the Sky-Earth Barrier, he paused briefly, looking back at the Starry Domains where the lights of Star Shuttles were flashing everywhere.

"Absolutely no ill intent?"

The Sword Lord's hand twitched slightly.

In the end, he still did not draw his sword.

"The Shen Family has been prosperous for thirty thousand years. Suffering a little loss isn't necessarily a bad thing."

The Sword Lord left with his sect members.

Among them was a certain Yi Qianjun, desperately trying to explain something to his fellow disciples.

"Ah! I really didn't participate in any martial arts tournament, that wasn't me! I didn't go to the Star Source either! Some old pervert stripped me naked!"

Unfortunately, his fellow disciples all thought he was pretending to be modest after gaining an advantage.

Those who were supposed to cultivate in the Star Source for a year this time, of course, couldn't do so now.

The Shen Family's original plan was to have everyone return first, wait for the Qiankun Mirror to stabilize, then notify them to bring the disciples who had earned slots back to the Starry Domains to re-enter the Star Source for cultivation.

However, when the Shen Family higher-ups stood above the devastated Star Source Star, they were all stunned.

Shen Wanquan was furious.

"Who the hell did this?!"

The Star Source was gone!

Star Source Star was flattened!

And, something only Shen Wanquan knew—his secret collaborator was also gone!

Even worse news was that the Qiankun Mirror couldn't be found and might have already left the Starry Domains.

Even the usually composed Clan Leader Shen Yue felt somewhat bewildered now.

"I feel like someone is targeting our Shen Family."

One of the Martial Kings guarding the Star Source said.

"Clan Leader! It's the Heavenly Hun Demon Venerable! Tian Xiaofeng and the others said that after the Qiankun Mirror went berserk, this Heavenly Hun Demon Venerable appeared and chased them out of the Star Source! It must have been him!"

Shen Yue exploded.

"Idiot! The Heavenly Hun Demon Venerable has been dead for how many years! It was our Shen Family who personally finished him off back then! Have you lost your memory?!"

"But..."

"That's just someone using the Heavenly Hun Demon Venerable's name! Investigate! We must find out who he is! Get the Star Source and the Qiankun Mirror back for me!"

An elder asked.

"Clan Leader, should we... inform the Founding Ancestor?"

Shen Yue sighed.

"The Founding Ancestor is approaching the end of his current lifespan and is striving to preserve his cultivation level. Don't disturb him with these matters anymore!

It's our failure. We couldn't even guard the Star Source properly. Utterly incompetent!

Especially you four!

Who allowed you to leave the Star Source!"

The four Martial Kings guarding the Star Source bore the brunt of the blame this time.

Actually, it wasn't entirely their fault.

Originally, with formation protection and alarms, if someone tampered with the Star Source, the Shen Family would have had time to come and stop it.

Who could have imagined that the thief also possessed a Great Dao Immortal Artifact?

And with the Demon Refining Pot, it sucked everything away in one go, ridiculously convenient.

Chen Yi's trip to the Starry Domains.

Was perilous but ultimately safe.

Although it delayed him for several months, fortunately, the task was completed in the end, much faster than waiting for the cooldown to end.

Most importantly, there were unexpected gains.

He obtained the Qiankun Mirror.

Acquired a huge pool of precious Star Source.

And finally, discovered a woman suspected to be Second Sister, adding another item to the must-do list for the fifth simulation.

Inside the Cauldron Realm.

Chen Yi was leisurely digging soil.

"Dig a hole, shovel some dirt, count one two three four five..."

After digging a large pit, Chen Yi opened the Demon Refining Pot and poured all the Star Source into it.

Then, Da Chun, holding the Qiankun Mirror, soaked in it.

"Ahhh—Brother Yi, it feels so good~"
