Chapter 421: Pluto, Alert!
Although the public propaganda was very good.
The three Heavenly Immortals of the Dao Alliance who had worked together on-site to annihilate the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family were all in a foul mood.
It was because they had not discovered the Innate Supreme Treasure in the hands of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family.
Then, after collecting the relevant intelligence.
These three Dao Alliance Heavenly Immortals guessed that the Innate Supreme Treasure must have fallen into the hands of that Mysterious Force that had emerged in the Xiayu.
Regarding this suddenly emerged Mysterious Force.
The Dao Alliance suspected it was a front created by a coalition of several major clans within the Demon Alliance.
Especially since the other party possessed the aura left behind by a True Dragon of the Harmony Realm.
This was considered even more ironclad proof of this speculation.
However, they soon met the representative sent by Su Ping.
Considering that an important avatar of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family, plus an Innate Supreme Treasure, had also been lost there.
During the negotiations with the other party, despite being a full major realm lower, they occupied a dominant position.
East Sea Dragon Lord Aoli!
They also formed a reasonable guess regarding their mastery of many miraculous methods.
As for that Innate Supreme Treasure... it would primarily be a matter of redemption.
The members of the diplomatic mission became increasingly convinced of the other party's true identity.
But they did not indicate when they would begin discussions.
The final result of the negotiation was that the Xuanling World welcomed Daoist friends from the Dao Alliance to come and do business, and was willing to offer various preferential conditions to the Cultivators from the Dao Alliance.
Aoli also got a taste of being a superior, and displayed the talent of the True Dragon Clan for being a big boss.
The focus was on making peace and establishing friendly relations.
Innate Supreme Treasures have spirits; the more powerful they are, the more this is true.
Aoli did not completely rule out the possibility of discussion.
They had seen a legendary True Dragon.
However, they certainly had to try.
They held no hope of getting back the Innate Supreme Treasure of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family and chose to leave early.
Therefore, when encountering an Innate Supreme Treasure choosing its master, they were more inclined to control and win over that lucky individual.
Each one possesses extreme autonomy; it is not something anyone can seize just because they want to.
They only indicated that now was not the time.
If they were to truly resort to force to seize it, that would be based on the premise that their side had a certain possibility of gaining the recognition of the Innate Supreme Treasure.
"It cannot even be ruled out that it is the natal Innate Supreme Treasure of some ancient Immortal Emperor."
The three Heavenly Immortals all made their decision.
As for the Innate Supreme Treasure...
Their eyes were bright and piercing as they looked at the Shikong Haiyu that had already healed, a place that had forever lost a portion of its space.
"The other party not only possesses that filthy, evil world, but should also possess one or more relics of an Immortal Emperor."
And when it involves an Innate Supreme Treasure used by an Emperor, it is basically among the most powerful of all Innate Supreme Treasures.
As for when it might be possible, that would have to wait until the time of fate arrived.
This time, the diplomatic mission sent by the Dao Alliance was led by three Heavenly Immortals.
Speaking of this, none of the three Heavenly Immortals felt a flicker of greed.
If any Cultivator in the Dao Alliance felt a connection to these Innate Supreme Treasures, could they, the Heavenly Immortals of the Dao Alliance, not know about it?
After experiencing the now extremely faint aftermath of the battlefield.
They simply let the rest of the diplomatic mission continue to visit the other party under the leadership of the original head, a Great Vehicle Dao Lord.
However, these three Heavenly Immortals all stopped at a distance of hundreds of millions of miles from the Xuanling World.
After the diplomatic mission entered the Xuanling World, they quickly realized that Lu Zhanglao was merely a puppet.
The three looked at each other and then all gave a bitter smile.
"That is an aura where even the Great Dao has been obliterated; it is hard to believe that we can still see a remnant of it in this era."
Although they held no hope, they still had to try.
Yet the Mysterious Force in the Xiayu was using the divine abilities of these Innate Supreme Treasures to unleash attacks beyond the level of Heavenly Immortals.
This made them hold little hope of getting back the Innate Supreme Treasure.
"Seeing it on-site, the projected image that spread out was actually true."
After a long while.
Unless they could feel a connection when the Innate Supreme Treasure appeared and become its candidate, then the Dao Alliance would consider it.
After all, Innate Supreme Treasures are all about fate, aren't they?
The diplomatic mission, now without the Heavenly Immortals, naturally agreed to this.
For them, this could be said to be the best result.
Regarding the Innate Supreme Treasure that originally belonged to the Dao Alliance's forces, they did not abandon it in a way that humiliated the alliance.
Instead, they temporarily shelved the dispute for the sake of the big picture.
They left this difficult problem for the geniuses of the future to solve.
It was simply a win-win!
After solving the biggest problem, the Cultivators of the diplomatic mission felt a sense of relief and even noticed the Spirit Herbs of the Xuanling World.
And then... they saw the business opportunity within.
The Spirit Herbs here have quite a significant price difference compared to those in the Golden Crow World.
Especially some rare Spirit Herbs with long ages.
They are often priceless and unmarketable; the reference prices from those Spirit Herb firms are merely a minimum estimate.
Even if you don't consume them yourself after buying them, taking them back to earn the price difference is quite good.
Thus, after scouring the place once.
The high-level Cultivators also kept the rules of the Auction in mind.
They planned to go back... no, they sent messages on the way to notify their family juniors to hurry over with Spirit Stones to bid for the Spirit Herbs.
The Cultivators from thousands of sects, large and small, in the Xuanling World also watched the delegation representing the Dao Alliance leave on good terms at this moment.
They all felt much more relaxed in their hearts.
After all, that was the Dao Alliance from the Three Great Alliances of the North King Time Domain!
To discover now that their own Heavenly Venerable had beheaded the other side's Old Heavenly Immortal and snatched away an Innate Supreme Treasure.
And still be able to make the other side leave on good terms.
It can only be said that their Xiayu has truly produced an incredible leader this time!
It is just that this big boss leader seems to have little interest in anything other than Spirit Stones and cultivation techniques.
Cultivation techniques are one-time use, and for many techniques, the other side would indicate they already possessed them.
As for Spirit Stones, after one or two times, they also gradually began to exceed their income.
This forced them to make their own low-level Cultivators suffer a bit, having them mine more and produce more.
Some with greater strength even established exploration teams, heading into the Time-Space Turbulence and the Spirit Mist Region to search for those wild Small Worlds.
Most of the mineral veins in these Small Worlds had not been fully exploited.
Once one is found, these major powers can extract a large number of medium and high-grade Spirit Stones.
Although finding a wild Small World depends heavily on luck and carries a certain degree of danger.
But after various sects continuously increased their bounties.
Exploring the Time-Space Turbulence and Shikong Haiyu to search for wild Small Worlds became the most coveted profession for the lower-middle-level Cultivators in the Xiayu.
It is also recognized by them as the most likely opportunity for lower-middle-level Cultivators to turn their lives around.
…………
The world where Water Blue Star is located.
In the vast starry sky, in the region where Pluto is located, which is already quite far from the central area of the Solar System.
In this dark starry sky where sunlight takes an average of five and a half hours to arrive.
A snow-white spaceship hovered in the outer space orbit of Pluto.
Pluto is not large; its volume is only one-third that of the Moon, and its mass is even smaller, less than one-sixth.
Coupled with the fact that its satellite does not even orbit around it, after scientists struggled for a while, they eventually expelled it from the Nine Great Planets and classified it as a Dwarf Planet.
The cabin door of the snow-white spaceship slowly opened, and a female Cultivator transformed from a rabbit-eared Spirit Beast, wearing sunglasses and a black leather outfit covering her entire body, flew out directly without any aerospace equipment.
The normal people on the spaceship were already numb to this.
"A planet filled with ice and rocks?"
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator scanned Pluto with a relaxed expression.
At first, her expression was quite relaxed.
Gradually, she let out an "eh," took off her sunglasses, and revealed her bright red eyes.
Her breathing also became much more rapid.
"There is so much treasure light emerging on the surface; wouldn't it be even more exaggerated underground?"
"Must take a good look!"
"If I really discover a treasure planet, shouldn't I be included in the next promotion quota?"
"After all, luck is also a part of strength!"
"……"
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator turned into a stream of light and plummeted from high altitude onto the surface of Pluto.
In an instant, a large crater was blasted out on the surface of Pluto.
Boulders mixed with ice chunks shattered into pieces.
"Freeze!"
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator opened her mouth and uttered a sound that only she could hear.
The rock fragments and ice shards splashing into the surrounding space all solidified within a thousand-meter radius of this female Cultivator.
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator's pupils were flashing with red light at this time.
After dozens of breaths.
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator flashed and appeared a hundred meters away, extending her right hand to pinch a gray crystal the size of a grain of sand.
"This crystal should be the kind of heaven-sent treasure mentioned by the Master."
"Feeling the material, it is even better than the Taiyin Crystal on the Moon Surface."
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator kept analyzing the special minerals on the surface of Pluto.
For a time, she actually stayed on the surface of Pluto for a long while.
The crew on the snow-white spaceship also felt something unusual at this time.
After all, when encountering asteroids or satellites before, this transcendent had never stayed for more than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.
Just like that, another period of time passed.
The captain on the spaceship had already reported to the Water Blue Star Alliance according to the requirements.
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator, however, remained on Pluto, even beginning to dig a hole, and had already disappeared from the spaceship's field of vision.
Out of trust in the transcendent, the crew members did not feel much unease.
Instead, they treated this as a rare moment of leisure amidst their busy schedule.
The captain also returned to the lounge and took out a pack of Tea Cake.
This Tea Cake was something the captain had obtained only after calling in a huge favor while on Water Blue Star.
But man proposes, God disposes.
As the cooperative projects supporting various industries on Water Blue Star were promoted on a large scale.
The Tea Cake in the captain's hand, which was originally quite valuable.
Now, because of its low Spirit Qi content, could at best be given a low-to-mid-grade rating.
Several old friends who had competed with him for the Tea Cake previously, because they all stayed on Water Blue Star during the last private communication period, bought Tea Cakes of better quality than the one in the captain's hand for only one-tenth of the price the captain had originally paid.
This made the captain so angry that he wanted to throw away the Tea Cake in his hand.
Thinking of the distance from Water Blue Star now, he ultimately couldn't bear to...
After taking a large gulp of hot tea, the captain felt much better and prepared to patrol the spaceship again in a while.
Suddenly, the captain heard an alarm sound.
He couldn't care about continuing to drink tea and immediately rushed out of the cabin door.
As a scientific research and exploration spaceship, this snow-white spaceship was only a hundred meters long and had about a hundred crew members.
Besides one Cultivator transformed from a Golden Core transcendent Spirit Beast, there were two Fo Cultivators and two Daoist priests from the Daoist sect, totaling four transcendent interns.
Soon, except for the female Cultivator still digging on Pluto, everyone else, apart from those remaining at critical posts, was in the cockpit.
In the cockpit, everyone could see the large projected screen.
The spaceship's radar detected an unidentified flying object on the radar in the starry sky about a thousand kilometers away from them.
However, looking through the spaceship's built-in space telescope, one could only see obvious images of space distortion.
It was impossible to observe the unidentified flying object on the radar.
However, as they received daily briefings from the Water Blue Star headquarters, as well as messages from friends and family.
They already knew about the Kalo Civilization matter.
Thus, the captain and many others couldn't help but think of possibilities like Time-Space Nodes and Space Wormholes.
And looking at the radar response.
It was very likely that something was already coming through from the Time-Space Node!
"Quick! Send the captured data back to headquarters!"
"Also, have you made contact with the Immortal?"
"Our contact with her was interrupted after the Immortal entered the underground."
Hearing this, the communications officer immediately reported what had already been said before.
The captain looked at the space ripples that were becoming increasingly distorted.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"Launch two warning missiles, targeting 15,000 meters above the Immortal!"
Following the captain's order, two missiles were launched.
Before long, two dazzling fireworks bloomed in the high altitude of Pluto.
The next instant, before the fireworks dissipated.
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator had already flown out of the deep pit she had dug and flew directly above the snow-white spaceship.
Carefully, she put the dozen or so gray crystals she had dug up from her palm into her Storage Spirit Bag.
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator used her Divine Sense to learn everything the captain wanted to convey.
Then, she also looked toward the direction of the warning, and while curious, she did not forget to send a message.
When Su Ping is away and not receiving, these messages will be stored on the Jianmu Divine Tree on Jupiter and the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree on the Moon Surface.
Su Ping will be able to receive them when he returns.
Additionally, Su Ping also gave the Primordial Spirit Avatars of the Jianmu Divine Tree and the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree a certain degree of autonomy.
If the Spirit Beasts under his command or the contracted Nether Ghost Cultivators encounter danger.
They can help out as the situation requires.
"You all stay... no, it's best if you hide."
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator intended to go and see, but after looking back at the spaceship under her feet, she made a decision.
She enveloped the entire hundred-meter spaceship with Golden Core Dharma Power, then picked up the spaceship and hid it behind a satellite of Pluto nearby.
It was just in case.
After hiding the spaceship with her Golden Core Dharma Power, the rabbit-eared female Cultivator turned and approached the abnormal space.
After the crew members in the spaceship were stunned for a moment, they did not start the spaceship, but they did deploy a detection satellite to reach Pluto's orbit, and then aimed the detection satellite toward outer space.
Hoping to know what would happen at the first moment, and then immediately report it to headquarters to fulfill their duties.
The space distortion fluctuations were intensifying.
The rabbit-eared female Cultivator changed into a white Daoist robe of Low-Grade Spirit Artifact quality and held a Flying Sword of High-Grade Spirit Artifact quality in her hand.
Beside her, Talismans radiating Dharma Power fluctuations also began to circle.
Several minutes later.
The space suddenly began to show obvious flickering.
And then!
Spaceships that were pitch-black all over, shaped like giant whales in the starry sky, appeared in this starry sky belonging to the Solar System!
