Although the Wu Shan Star Domain was an insignificant star domain in the vast universe, it was incredibly vast for cultivators below the Divine Transformation True Immortal realm, impossible to traverse in a lifetime.
The entire star domain encompassed tens of thousands of star systems, with countless stars and an immeasurable number of planets harboring life.
However, it was incredibly difficult for most inhabited planets to produce even a Golden Core realm cultivator. Only planets that could produce Nascent Soul cultivators were considered powerful in the entire Wu Shan Star Domain.
The Great Rock Star had more than a handful of Nascent Soul cultivators openly acknowledged, let alone those who remained hidden.
Zhang Fan and Fu Feng's group flew rapidly through the air towards the famous Fu Liu City on the Great Rock Star.
In terms of volume, the Great Rock Star was thousands of times larger than Earth, and its density was incomparable to Earth. Consequently, its gravity was significantly stronger.
On Earth, as long as one cultivated to the Holy Realm, they could manipulate spiritual energy or true qi to fly. However, on the Great Rock Star, only cultivators who reached the Core Formation realm possessed the ability to fly.
After nearly a full day of rapid flight, the group of four finally arrived at Fu Liu City.
Fu Feng looked down from above and saw that everything in Fu Liu City was normal, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems we've arrived in time. The Ouyang and Li families haven't made their move yet."
A hint of relief appeared on Fu Feng's face. Although he had brought Zhang Fan and Liu Mu, two powerful assistants, back to Fu Liu City this time, it would be meaningless if they returned only to find the Fu family besieged and annihilated by the Ouyang and Li families.
As one of the three major Nascent Soul families on the Great Rock Star, the Fu family's power was immense, with perhaps only the mysterious Star Lord of the Great Rock Star able to suppress them.
Fu Liu City, the ancestral home of the Fu family, ranked among the top three in terms of scale and prosperity on the entire planet.
The entire Fu Liu City was shrouded by a massive formation painstakingly set up by the Fu family at great cost, with the help of a Heavenly Master of formations. Even an ordinary Three Tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to breach.
Fu Feng led Zhang Fan and the other two to descend before the gates of Fu Liu City. The guards on duty immediately came forward to greet them respectfully.
"Second Elder, I have already dispatched someone to relay the news of the Elder and Young Lady's return to the clan." The city guards patrolled the four directions of Fu Liu City and naturally discovered them before they landed.
"Good. Continue your patrol, and report any abnormalities to the family immediately."
Although the competition for the Heart Earth Dew had not yielded the desired results, Fu Feng was in a good mood to have returned safely from Ouyang Ye's scheme and ambush.
Moreover, Ouyang Ye had offended Zhang Fan, a powerhouse capable of killing the White Cloud Tiger, which guaranteed a tragic end for him.
Under the management of the Fu family, Fu Liu City was indeed extremely prosperous. It could be said that the strength of this single city was greater than that of many inhabited planets.
On the wide streets, traffic bustled, and Heaven Human realm cultivators were seen everywhere, appearing commonplace. Core Formation realm cultivators were also not rare.
Even as Zhang Fan walked, he detected the aura of several Golden Core realm cultivators. Of course, these Golden Core cultivators had only condensed a third-grade Golden Core, with not a single second-grade Golden Core in sight.
"It seems your Fu Liu City's strength is quite impressive," Zhang Fan said with a smile. A third-grade Golden Core cultivator was considered a powerful figure on most planets in the Wu Shan Star Domain.
After all, there were trillions of inhabited planets in the entire Wu Shan Star Domain, yet only a few hundred Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if those who remained in seclusion were included, their numbers would hardly exceed a thousand. Compared to the number of inhabited planets, Nascent Soul cultivators were truly scarce.
On many weaker planets, a single Golden Core realm cultivator was enough to dominate.
Just like Earth in the past, excluding Zhang Fan the reborn, the strongest cultivators were merely those in the Core Formation realm, like the group of Wu Chen Sword Immortal.
"In Fu Liu City, the number of Golden Core realm cultivators exceeds one hundred. However, besides Sisi, only two have condensed a second-grade Golden Core. Those two only hold a guest elder title in our Fu family and are unwilling to truly join us."
Fu Feng sighed.
In the Wu Shan Star Domain, over ninety percent of Golden Core realm cultivators had only condensed a third-grade Golden Core. Among the remaining less than ten percent, over ninety-nine percent had only condensed a second-grade Golden Core.
Only by condensing a second-grade Golden Core could one be considered a strong individual on a powerful planet like the Great Rock Star, and the three major Nascent Soul families would actively recruit them.
As for a first-grade Golden Core?
Once discovered, they would immediately be invited by the top powers in the Wu Shan Star Domain, promised numerous benefits, and recruited to join.
However, first-grade Golden Cores were incredibly rare. In every era, the number of first-grade Golden Cores born would not exceed a dozen, and the emergence of each first-grade Golden Core would cause considerable stir.
In fact, when Zhang Fan killed the White Cloud Tiger, Fu Feng and the others had already made some guesses. He even felt that Zhang Fan might have condensed a top-grade first-grade Golden Core.
But such matters were extremely private. It didn't matter if third-grade or second-grade Golden Cores were exposed. While second-grade Golden Cores possessed strong combat power, the most elite among them could only rival ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Of course, if one was exceptionally gifted in a certain aspect, they could fight beyond their cultivation level. Just like the Nine Sword True Monarch who descended to Earth back then, who had cultivated a mid-grade Four-Rank divine ability to perfection, his unleashed combat power could even suppress weaker First Tribulation Nascent Soul cultivators, ranking him on the Heavenly Ranking as a second-grade Golden Core.
Such a figure was indeed heaven-defying. To achieve this as a second-grade Golden Core was even rarer than a first-grade Golden Core. Unfortunately, he encountered Zhang Fan…
Once a first-grade Golden Core was exposed, they would either be recruited by various factions or become the target of envy. Unless they were determined to join a particular force, they would generally choose to conceal themselves.
After all, a first-grade Golden Core cultivator, once they broke through and formed a Nascent Soul, could at least fight two cultivation levels higher.
Fu Liu City was extremely vast, covering an area of hundreds of miles, larger than most countries on Earth. Within it were high mountains and flowing rivers.
Our Fu family's stronghold was located atop a rather precipitous mountain peak, a cluster of ancient-looking buildings known as the Fu Liu Mountain Villa.
Led by Fu Feng, everyone passed through various checkpoints and entered the Fu Liu Mountain Villa.
Upon entering the Fu Liu Mountain Villa, Zhang Fan could easily detect the interwoven formations within. There were spirit-gathering formations, illusion formations, defensive formations, and killing formations.
"The formations are quite well-arranged, but against true powerhouses, they are merely like a thin film, easily pierced," Zhang Fan commented casually.
Fu Sisi, however, was quite displeased upon hearing this. Although the range of the formations covering Fu Liu Mountain Villa could not compare to the city-protecting formation, the cost of arranging these interwoven formations was no less than that of the city-protecting formation. Even a Second Tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to survive if they intruded into Fu Liu Mountain Villa.
This was the heritage of their Fu family, yet Zhang Fan had belittled it to nothing.
