Chapter 648 Who Goes?

While Zhang Fan was in seclusion, Xue Jing, Lin Yun, Lin Haotian, and Wu Chen Jian Xian also entered seclusion.

After slaying thirteen cultivators at the Condensing Core realm and one at the third-grade superior Golden Core realm, Zhang Fan refined a large number of Human Blood Pills for Xue Jing. Xue Jing was now using these pills to attempt to break through to the peak of the Golden Core realm.

Lin Yun had contributed significantly in this battle, and Zhang Fan had bestowed upon him a large quantity of spiritual pills. Lin Yun was also using these pills to try and break through the Golden Core shackles and reach the Nascent Soul realm.

Lin Haotian, Wu Chen Jian Xian, and the three blood race princes all realized their strength was still far from sufficient when facing powerful enemies, so none of them relaxed.

Half a year after Zhang Fan and the others entered seclusion, a starship resembling a swordfish silently appeared in Earth's outer space. It was Daoist Wen Xin's treasure-hunting team.

"You arrived in just half a year. It seems you're quite eager," Dao Venerable quipped as he flew out of the starship to meet Daoist Wen Xin and the others.

Having sworn a life-bound oath, a basic level of trust existed between them. Dao Venerable entered Daoist Wen Xin's starship without any fear of being trapped.

His sharp gaze swept across the starship's interior. Besides Daoist Wen Xin, Li Yangzi, and Bai Zhen, there were also seven cultivators at the third-grade Golden Core realm and dozens of cultivators at the Condensing Core realm. This lineup left him quite satisfied.

"Dao Venerable, we have both sworn life-bound oaths, and we are here. Now, can you tell us where the place of opportunity is, and which powerful individuals are there?"

Dao Venerable nodded, not refusing. Since they had sworn a life-bound oath, he wasn't afraid of Daoist Wen Xin and the others revealing anything.

Dao Venerable turned and looked at the distant, faint blue planet. "The place of opportunity is on that planet."

"So small?"

Daoist Wen Xin and the others looked at Earth, finding the planet too small. It wasn't comparable to the central heart of the Wu Shan Star Domain, and even some life planets they had passed through in the Milky Way were many times larger than this faint blue planet.

"It is a bit small, but this planet is not simple," Dao Venerable said.

Daoist Wen Xin and the others knew that a planet where True Immortal Zhi Wu left an opportunity wouldn't be simple.

"Currently, there are three powerful individuals on this planet that you should pay attention to. The first is an old man who has condensed a third-grade superior Golden Core to the peak. He cultivates the Way of Shadows. His combat power isn't the strongest, but his ability to evade is no less than that of the Wind Monkey."

"The second is a pure-blooded Undying Blood Race cultivator who cultivates the Way of the Blood Sea. His strength is only slightly weaker than mine."

"Why would a pure-blooded Undying Blood Race member appear at the place of opportunity?" asked the Master of the Wen Xin Sect.

Bai Zhen and Li Yangzi also looked at the one-armed Dao Venerable with questioning eyes.

The Blood Race had their own territory. Even if a few Blood Race powerhouses ventured out in the Wu Shan Star Domain, it was unlikely they would coincidentally find the place of opportunity.

"I collected information on this planet and found that traces of the Blood Race appeared about a thousand years ago. That was precisely when True Immortal Zhi Wu left his opportunity on this planet."

"I speculate that a powerful figure of the Blood Race used spatial means to open a passage to the place of opportunity and sent him there for tempering."

Although the Zhi Wu Yuan Fruit was incredibly miraculous, it only greatly benefited cultivators at the Golden Core realm. For cultivators beyond the Golden Core stage, obtaining the Zhi Wu Yuan Fruit would at most allow them to pass it to their descendants or sell it for a good price.

Therefore, for those powerful figures, the opportunity at the place of opportunity was not of much consequence.

"Furthermore, a thousand years ago, a powerhouse of the Light Winged Race also descended upon Earth. However, that Light Winged Race powerhouse was besieged and killed a few years ago."

"Before he died, he sent his life-bound spiritual treasure into space and manipulated it to self-destruct, generating an extremely powerful residual wave."

"The reason I could find the place of opportunity was also due to the guidance of this residual wave," Dao Venerable said, gazing deeply at Earth.

"I see!"

The Master of the Wen Xin Sect and the others suddenly understood. No wonder Dao Venerable could find the place of opportunity before them; it was because of that Light Winged Race powerhouse.

"And the last one?" Bai Zhen asked.

Dao Venerable frowned slightly, and after a long pause, he said, "The last powerful individual is a young man who has achieved great success in body cultivation. Although he cannot harm me, I also cannot do anything to him."

"As for his origin, I am also unclear. According to the information I've gathered, that body cultivation expert is only in his early twenties, and he is also a native of this planet."

"How is that possible?"

The Master of the Wen Xin Sect and the others' first reaction was that Dao Venerable was bragging.

To possess strength comparable to Dao Venerable at just over twenty years old was an unparalleled genius rarely seen even in their Wu Shan Star Domain. How could such a monstrous talent emerge from this barbaric star domain?

"That is the fact. I suspect he hides a great secret. Although we cannot harm him, if we join forces, we will be able to suppress him, and then we will know his true origin."

Dao Venerable was also full of curiosity about Zhang Fan. What secret could allow a native to cultivate to such a powerful level in his early twenties?

"Alright, in that case, shall we charge in directly?" Bai Zhen asked, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Not yet," Dao Venerable waved his hand. "Before charging in, let's first ascertain their current strength."

Dao Venerable had already suffered once; how could he be so foolish again?

"Haven't you already made it clear?" The Master of the Wen Xin Sect and the others stared at Dao Venerable with confusion, wondering if he had lost his mind. He had just explained the strength of those natives, and now he was saying they needed to assess it first before acting.

Was something wrong with his head?

"What I said before was their strength half a year ago. Another half year has passed. I am also unclear about their specific strength now," Dao Venerable explained, apparently noticing the strange looks from the Master of the Wen Xin Sect and the others.

All the Condensing Core realm cultivators under him had been killed, leaving only a group of weak cultivators at the Divine Realm and Sacred Domain. These weak cultivators, whose strength did not reach the Condensing Core realm, would not last long once they left the starship.

"Only half a year, and moreover, in this barbaric star domain. Even if they were given ten years, how much could their strength grow?" Li Yangzi exclaimed, finding the usually domineering Dao Venerable to be so verbose.

"Half a year ago, I thought the same. But when I first descended upon Earth, I discovered that the strength of those natives had grown significantly compared to two years prior. Otherwise, how could the strong individuals under my command have died?" Dao Venerable said sternly, staring at Li Yangzi.

"Since that is the case, how does Dao Venerable think we should ascertain the strength of those natives?" asked the Master of the Wen Xin Sect.

Sending the weak would mean they would be easily crushed, essentially sending them to their deaths with no purpose.

However, if one of the four of them were to test the natives' strength, it would be easy to get themselves into trouble.

Who was willing to go?

Who dared to go?
