The Purple Star State was the most technologically advanced state in the Kingdom of the Nine States.
An Lin arrived for a second time at this state on Da Bai's back. When he caught sight of the skyscrapers within the cities and the vast array of transportation vehicles that fused cultivation and technology into their design, he couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
"Wow, Giant An Lin, the human civilization here looks so much like the human civilization in the Divine Mirror World!" Tina's emerald eyes flashed, and she exclaimed as a steam-powered train whistled past.
"The Purple Star State is actually far superior to the human race of the Divine Mirror World in their ability to fuse cultivation with technology." An Lin gave a very objective analysis in reply.
He thought to himself for a moment before deciding to dial a voice transmission.
"Hello, Classmate An Lin, what's up?" a mellow voice sounded.
"Haha, Su Qianyun, I'm here in the Purple Star State as we speak. I'm going to pick out a site for our sect. Any good locations that you can suggest?" An Lin asked with a smile.
"Oh, you're picking out a site for our sect? Can it wait a few days? I'll take you to some good places!" Su Qianyun's elated yet conflicted voice sounded, "The thing is, I'm traveling with a team of the imperial palace guards to a place in the Purple Star State where strange phenomena are occurring. There have already been many powers gathered there, and we probably won't be able to mediate the conflict there in a short period of time."
"Strange phenomena?" An Lin perked up with interest, and he asked, "Is there some sort of treasure that's about to be born there?"
"I'm not sure. It could be a good thing or a bad thing, but we won't know until we gather more information, " Su Qianyun continued in an unhurried voice. However, An Lin could already faintly hear the booming of spell techniques erupting through their voice transmission.
"Send me the coordinates via voice transmission talisman, I'll go have a look as well!" An Lin's interest had been piqued. It was going to be difficult to find locations for the sect without Su Qianyun with them anyway, so they might as well help her out and have some fun in the process.
"Huh? You're coming as well? Sure!" Su Qianyun faltered for a few seconds before sending her coordinates to An Lin via voice transmission talisman.
An Lin passed the voice transmission talisman to the fairy on his shoulder."Tina, take us there!"
"You can count on me!" Tina flew in front of everyone as she easily tore open an inky-black spatial rift in the air.
Immediately afterward, a white light enveloped An Lin, Liu Qianhuan, Da Bai, and Xiao Ze, and all of them entered the spatial rift together.
Meanwhile, at the Realm of the Fallen Phoenix in the Purple Star State.
An area of over a thousand kilometers in radius had previously been engulfed by boundless scorching flames, reducing this place to a vast no man's land.
Apparently, in ancient times, a divine phoenix had fallen here, and its dao of fire had wounded heaven and earth, thereby transforming this area into a realm of eternal flames.
However, half a year ago, the flames at the Realm of the Fallen Phoenix began to diminish.
This event had shocked the entire Purple Star State as various powers arrived on the scene to see if there was something special happening there.
The flames diminished day by day, and just a few days ago, the flames had completely disappeared.
Countless cultivators converged on this previously lethal landscape in search of potential opportunities.
This was a common way of thinking in the cultivating world; any place with abnormalities might present opportunities.
It had to be said, this was quite an applicable rule to this world. However, abnormalities also led to destruction sometimes.
In any case, it was just a matter of life and death. Risk and reward came hand in hand, and there was certainly no lack of cultivators who weren't afraid of dying.
That day, iridescent light fell over the Realm of the Fallen Phoenix.
This time, even the Green Wood Imperial Family were alerted to this, and they immediately sent a team of top-rated cultivators there to investigate.
Of course, the team was deployed in the name of maintaining peace and order within the Purple Star State.
What if there was some good stuff to be found? Then it had to go to the imperial family!
The imperial family would then give out some rewards like a reward certificate or a trophy, then award an honorary title and voila! It would be a win-win situation.
In states where none of the four great sects were present, the imperial family was usually the most powerful cultivating power within the states. The Green Wood Imperial Family were also among the most powerful of the nine imperial families. Although there were no Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures among them, they had seven Return to Void Stage mighty figures, which was enough for them to exert their dominance over the state.
The team that had been deployed comprised of two Return to Void Stage mighty figures, ten Soul Formation Stage cultivators, and Su Qianyun, who was there just to find some opportunities for herself.
"Princess Yun Le, just follow along behind me, I'll protect you and not allow you to come to any harm." A handsome man turned back with a smile as warm as a spring breeze toward the exquisitely beautiful woman behind him.
Su Qianyun nodded lightly."Then I'll be in your care, Senior Dong Guo!"
"Don't call me Senior, I'm not that much older than you. You can just call me Brother Dong Guo, " the man said in a joking manner.
Su Qianyun lowered her head slightly without giving a reply.
Not much older? Was three thousand years considered to be a small age gap now?
Su Qianyun was well aware of the man's intentions to forge a closer relationship with her, but she couldn't be bothered to directly bring up the issue.
Su Qianyun was normally quite aloof like this, so Dong Guo didn't express any dissatisfaction at her silence.
He knew that a beautiful Celestial Maiden would take time to pursue.
After all, slow and steady wins the race.
Su Qianyun took top marks in all areas regardless of whether it was status, looks, or aptitude. Hence, there were many men who had thoughts of pursuing her.
However, the vast majority of them faltered due to a sense of inferiority. But Dong Guo was different!
He was one of the most powerful cultivators of the Green Wood Imperial Family. He had just progressed to the Return to Void Stage, and he had the confidence to pursue the most eye-catching jewel of the Green Wood Imperial Family.
If they encountered any battles during this mission, he was determined to impress the princess with his Return to Void Stage power, and it would be best if the situation allowed him to save her life or something like that. The princess would definitely develop a fondness toward him as a result before slowly falling in love with him, hehehe...
Dong Guo became more and more excited as he followed this train of thought. As Princess Yun Le became more and more stunning, he knew that he had found the love of his life and was eager to put a conclusion to his single life, which had spanned over three thousand years!
He wanted to pursue only the best!
Dong Guo felt as if his mantra in life had finally received vindication.
The Green Wood Imperial Family team soon descended upon the Realm of the Fallen Phoenix. This was a vast expanse of charred earth with an overabundance of fire-type energy permeating through the air, and the temperatures rose steadily as they made their way toward the central region.
They occasionally came across some spirit herbs and spirit fruits which evidenced the notion that these phenomena had indeed brought with them some rare opportunities.
Many sects were fighting over treasures like these as wars erupted around them. However, all these battles were far too low-end to warrant even a second glance from the team members. They merely continued toward the central region.
Boom!
Heaven and earth suddenly rumbled in the distance.
Su Qianyun's bright blue eyes stared into the distance to discover a pillar of golden vital energy soar into the sky like a dragon, sending powerful energy fluctuations sweeping toward them.
Was that the central region of the Realm of the Fallen Phoenix? It really did look like there was some good stuff there!
She was starting to get a little excited as she looked at the pillar of golden light in the distance.
