Pu Ji Zhen Xian took out forty immortal treasures and threw them towards Zhang Fan, asking with some curiosity, "May I know what sword technique Ten Absolute Daoist Friend just used?"
Seeing the deep curiosity in Pu Ji Zhen Xian's eyes, a trace of recollection appeared in Zhang Fan's, and he said softly, "The sword technique is nameless."
"Nameless?" Pu Ji Zhen Xian was startled, then nodded thoughtfully, "Thank you, Ten Absolute Daoist Friend, for informing me."
"No need to thank me, I merely did it on a whim, to let you broaden your horizons." Zhang Fan said indifferently.
"So that's how it is." Pu Ji Zhen Xian had never met such a peculiar person, and his curiosity towards Zhang Fan grew, "Ten Absolute Daoist Friend, may I join your team?"
"Don't you have a team?" Zhang Fan asked with some curiosity. Pu Ji Zhen Xian was not weak in strength, so he should have been able to form a team with ease.
"I did originally." As he spoke, a hint of sadness appeared in Pu Ji Zhen Xian's eyes, and he said, "My team encountered a calamity a year ago, and only I survived. I haven't formed a team since."
"If that's the case, then come along." Zhang Fan agreed.
After walking off the stage, Zhang Fan gathered Nan Zun, Xue Mo Jiao, and the Pang brothers together to introduce them to Pu Ji Zhen Xian's situation.
"With Pu Ji Zhen Xian joining, our small team's strength has increased further. I will feel more at ease venturing into the Star River." Nan Zun said.
"Daoist Friend Nan Zun is too modest." Pu Ji Zhen Xian shook his head and smiled, "It is my honor to join the team. With the Captain here, I will feel more at ease venturing into the Star River."
Pu Ji Zhen Xian was not being humble. After the exchange just now, he suspected that Zhang Fan might have even mastered the True Intent of the Great Dao. Of course, it was also possible that he relied on that 'nameless sword technique' to unleash the True Intent of the Great Dao.
Regardless of which situation was true, Zhang Fan's strength had already reached its peak below the Nascent Soul realm. Such an existence was extremely rare even on the Star River battlefield.
"Alright, rest for a day. Starting tomorrow, our team will prepare to venture into the Star River and earn military merits!" Zhang Fan could not stand it any longer and interrupted their conversation.
The next day, after some preparations, the team members gathered and, led by Zhang Fan, left the war base together and flew towards the brilliant Star River in the sky.
Along the way, Xue Mo Jiao seemed extremely excited. Before even entering the Star River, he had already begun to fantasize about slaughtering his way through the Star River battlefield, devouring Nascent Soul cultivators one after another.
The Pang brothers, however, were somewhat apprehensive. Among the team, they were the weakest, only at the level of One-star warriors.
"As we are newly entering the Star River battlefield, our team has not yet experienced combat integration. When we encounter the enemy, listen to my commands and do not be greedy for merit or rush forward." Zhang Fan finished speaking and then looked at Pu Ji Zhen Xian, instructing, "Among you few, Pu Ji, your strength is the greatest. While ensuring your own safety, try to take care of the safety of the others."
"Yes, Captain." Pu Ji Zhen Xian responded.
Besides Zhang Fan, their small team had five members. With the absolute advantage in strength, everyone had unwavering faith in Zhang Fan, and there was no need for him to deliberately display his might.
After traveling for several tens of minutes in the dark space, they finally reached the Star River. Looking at the cosmic river flowing like a ribbon from a distance, only when standing before it could one truly feel its boundless vastness.
This branch of the Central Star River had an average width of three light-years, and its length was immeasurable. Immense stars were like grains of sand in comparison, appearing extremely small.
"With our strength, venturing in this area is relatively safe. Further upstream lies the gathering place for Six-star generals." Pu Ji Zhen Xian had been on the Star River battlefield for hundreds of years and was very clear about the distribution of cultivators.
The closer one got to the upstream, the more treasures there were.
"Let's go, enter the Star River!"
Led by Zhang Fan, they rushed into the Star River, as if passing through a barrier and entering another world.
"There are stars flowing within this Star River?" Xue Mo Jiao stared around curiously.
"The Star River sweeps across all parts of the universe. Seeing anything within the Star River is not surprising." Pu Ji Zhen Xian smiled.
They traversed the Star River, but it was too vast. After flying for more than half a day, they had not encountered a single living person.
"Although the Zi Xiao Star Domain and the Jiu Ya Star Domain have gathered tens of thousands of Nascent Soul cultivators and over a million Dao Nascent stage cultivators in this Star River battlefield, it is still too sparse for the vast Star River. The probability of encountering someone just by wandering around is too low."
Pu Ji Zhen Xian said, "There is a Star River ruin called the Seven Stars Pagoda in this area. There must be many cultivators gathered there, so we can try our luck."
Zhang Fan nodded. In fact, his first target in his mind was the Seven Stars Pagoda. A large number of teams led by Five-star generals and a very small number of teams led by Six-star generals gathered there, making it a good place for them to hone their skills.
"If that's the case, then let's go to the Seven Stars Pagoda."
With Zhang Fan's agreement, the others naturally had no objections. Zhang Fan casually tore open space and led everyone back into the dark space.
Where the Star River flows, the space is much more stable than in the outside world. Cultivators not reaching the Spirit Refining realm would find it difficult to tear space within the Star River. This is also why the war base stipulated that one must reach the level of a Four-star general to form a team and venture into the Star River.
Because cultivators in the Nascent Soul realm could not tear space within this Star River, let alone fight, traveling in this vast Star River would be a huge problem.
The Seven Stars Pagoda was a colossal tower, several light-years tall, leaning in the Star River. It had endured the erosion of time, and its body was somewhat dilapidated.
"What kind of existence could refine such a giant magical treasure, several light-years tall? If it were to fall lightly, it would probably be enough to destroy the World Heart Continent!" Nan Zun looked up at the majestic Seven Stars Pagoda with shock in his eyes.
"How can such a large magical treasure be moved?" Xue Mo Jiao was full of doubts. "Even the legendary Grand Unity Immortal Emperor should not be able to move such a colossal treasure, right?"
Zhang Fan looked at Xue Mo Jiao's appearance, and a smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes, "You, a mere great demon of the Nascent Soul realm, how dare you question the might of an Immortal Emperor?"
