Chapter 459: Seven Stars Return to Position: The Convergence of Light and Shadow

This reminder immediately illuminated the research team's line of thought. They pulled up the energy model of the Core and discovered a startling fact: the Core does not simply neutralize or undergo Zhuanghua of Void Energy, but rather, through a special "Nengliang Tiaoxie Array" process, it rearranges the chaotic frequencies of Void Energy, causing it to return to its Nature state.

"We need to design a Nengliang Tiaoxie Array," Xu Feng decided, "based on the energy characteristics of the Yin-Yang Dual-Colored Core, to amplify its Purification Technique effect."

The research team immediately threw themselves into work, while Xu Feng turned to another pressing issue—the threat of the "Void Believers."

Inside the strategic conference room at the headquarters, a joint team composed of senior Practitioners and special forces was formulating a response plan. The screen displayed known intelligence on the "Void Believers," which, though limited, was enough to indicate that this was a tightly organized and well-resourced dangerous organization.

"According to our intelligence, the 'Void Believers' have multiple secret bases around the world," the intelligence director reported. "They have absorbed many influential members, including political figures, wealthy merchants, and scientists. Even more worrying is that they seem to possess some ancient knowledge regarding Void Energy, allowing them to manipulate Void Power to a limited extent."

Xu Feng pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Establish a special operations team to secretly track the activities of the 'Void Believers.' At the same time, we need to deploy energy jammers to prevent them from manipulating Void Power."

The operation unfolded rapidly. Over the next twenty-four hours, Practitioners and military units around the world formed a joint defense network, and special forces infiltrated multiple suspicious areas to search for traces of the "Void Believers." Meanwhile, the research team worked day and night to develop the "Void Purification Technique," testing various energy models and Array designs.

The next evening, Xu Feng finally received good news—the preliminary version of the "Void Purification Technique" was complete, and test results were good. Although the purification range was limited, it was enough to clear Void Vortexes in key areas. Even more gratifying was that with the application of the Purification Technique, those micro Void Vortexes were not only eliminated but also converted into beneficial energy, which could provide additional support to the Global Energy Network.

"This is truly an unexpected gain," Xu Feng said to the research team with a smile, "the enemy's attack has instead become our aid."

However, the good news was accompanied by new challenges. Intelligence indicated that the "Void Believers" seemed to be planning a large-scale operation, targeting the Cultivation Science Headquarters—the Core location for the Spiritual Body Reunion of Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan.

"We intercepted some encrypted communications," the intelligence director said gravely, "they call it the 'Ultimate Purification' operation, planning to destroy the main Array before the partial solar eclipse occurs, fundamentally preventing the reunion ceremony from being held."

This news made everyone tense up. Xu Feng immediately strengthened the headquarters' defenses while adjusting some details of the ceremony, adding backup plans and emergency response measures.

"The further we go, the greater the resistance we encounter," Li Xuanfeng said to Xu Feng, "this precisely proves that we are on the right path. The residual will of Yage and these 'Void Believers' being so nervous only means one thing—the return of Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan will pose a real threat to Void Power."

Xu Feng nodded in agreement: "Yes, this further strengthens our determination to keep moving forward. No matter what obstacles we encounter, we must ensure the ceremony is held as scheduled."

Despite facing a dual threat, global preparations continued in an orderly manner. The energy of the Mount Fuji Spiritual Vein had already begun to be transported to the headquarters through special channels; the 108 Yogis in India had entered a state of deep meditation, preparing to control the "Five Elements Lotus Mandala"; the "Lin Xuan Xiao Yuan Watchers" across the globe also increased the frequency and intensity of their collective meditation, bringing the energy of the "Collective Dream Network" to a new peak.

At night, Xu Feng went to the Core storage room alone. The Seven Cores were lying quietly in the energy containers, but unlike usual, they appeared unusually active at this moment; the frequency of the flickering Runes on their surfaces had clearly accelerated, as if responding to some kind of summons.

"You feel it, don't you?" Xu Feng asked softly, "You also feel those resistances, those threats. But please trust us, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will ensure your safe return."

The light of the Cores seemed to flicker slightly, as if responding to Xu Feng's promise. At this very moment, Xu Feng suddenly felt a peculiar energy fluctuation—it was a warm and powerful emotion he had never experienced before, transmitted directly to the depths of his soul.

It was not language, not images, but a combination of pure emotion and will, carrying incomparable firmness and gratitude. Xu Feng knew that it was the consciousness of Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan, establishing a brief connection with him through the Cores.

"I understand," Xu Feng nodded with a smile, "we will make every preparation to welcome your return."

The sky before dawn presented a rare deep blue, and the stars were still clearly visible, even though the sun was about to rise. This was an unusual morning, and the air seemed filled with a peculiar energy; even breathing felt different.

At the main ceremony site of the Cultivation Science Headquarters, a massive domed building constructed specifically for this operation was ready. Inside the building, a meticulously designed energy conduction system covered the walls and floor, forming a precise Energy Network, with all lines eventually converging at the main Array area in the center.

"Latest astronomical report," the astronomical observer reported via the communication system, "the partial solar eclipse will begin in three hours and seven minutes, with an estimated duration of four minutes and twelve seconds; the optimal observation time is three hours and twenty-two minutes from now. At the same time, the seven major planets have begun to enter their predicted orbits, and the 'Seven Stars Return to Position' celestial phenomenon will perfectly manifest when the partial solar eclipse reaches its maximum."

Xu Feng stood in the command center, looking around; the experts at each workstation were focused on their tasks, and the atmosphere was tense yet filled with anticipation.

"Status of the Global Energy Network?" Xu Feng asked.

"The Five Great Cultivation Centers are all in position, energy stability has reached over 98%, and transmission channels are clear," the Energy Network director replied, "the energy of the Mount Fuji Spiritual Vein is being continuously transported to the main Array area through specially made pipes; current energy storage has reached 87% of the target value, fully in line with the planned schedule."

Xu Feng nodded and walked to the next workstation: "What is the status of the 'Five Elements Lotus Mandala'?"

"The Array has been perfectly deployed," Vikram from the Indian team replied, "the 108 Yogis have entered a state of deep meditation, and their vital signs and energy fluctuations are all maintained within the optimal range. Master Lakshmi is personally supervising to ensure that every node of the Array is functioning normally."
