Chapter 825: Chapter 798: Battle
Looking at the half-broken True Immortal Puppet in his disciple's hand, Xu Fan finally sighed.
From a normal perspective, a half-broken True Immortal Puppet with an intact core at this price is reasonable, if he hadn't bought it.
Xu Fan waved his hand, putting the puppet into his Space Ring.
"Spirit-opening, your intentions are well-received," Xu Fan nodded.
"Thank you, Master, this is what your disciple should do," Zhou Kailing said with a smile. The happiest thing in life is to be praised by one's master.
"Little Light, install an anti-scam assistant on Spirit-opening in the future," Xu Fan instructed.
"Understood, Master. In the future, a trace of my origin will be attached to Zhou Kailing," Pu Tao replied.
"Your disciple is a bit silly, so you need to put in more effort," Xu Fan said.
"Elder Ming Kong, let's head to the Ancient Green World now. Pick up those disciples who haven't arrived yet on our way," Xu Fan said to Ming Kong, who was watching from the sidelines.
Even though it was a rip-off, he couldn't refuse his disciple's filial devotion.
"Alright, Great Master, let's head to the Ancient Green World now," Ming Kong nodded.
The Ten Thousand Star Boat set off from the Building Boat Barrier and headed towards the Ancient Green World.
Zhou Kailing looked at her master's silent expression and couldn't help asking worriedly, "Master, you seem to have something on your mind. Is there anything your disciple can help you with?"
"It's not a big deal. I was tricked out of 900 Immortal Jades by a Chamber of Commerce in the Building Boat. I'm just thinking about how to get it back," Xu Fan said with a smile as he looked at the worried Zhou Kailing.
"It's just 900 Immortal Jades. Once your disciple sells more divine abilities, we will have enough. I hope you won't be upset about this," Zhou Kailing said.
"You're a good child," Xu Fan said, looking at Zhou Kailing.
At this moment, Xu Fan suddenly noticed a long, dragon-like object moving in the distant sky.
Based on the stars' positions, the dragon-like Star Beast was bigger than the rock spirit they encountered when they first arrived in the Star Region.
"The Star Beast, Canglong, is said to pass by the Ancient Green World every ten thousand years. According to the records, there won't be any trouble as long as we don't attack it," Ming Kong's voice rang out in the Heavenly Zone.
"We have good luck. We encountered such a rare sight on our first trip to the Star Region," Xu Fan said, watching the distant Canglong with a smile.
He wondered if the creature counted as part of the Dragon Clan, and whether he should settle the score with them together once he had enough strength.
"Does this Star Beast Canglong belong to the Dragon Clan?" Xu Fan asked curiously.
"It should be. It is said that the Star Beast Canglong was hatched by the Will of Heaven from a Middle Thousand World occupied by the Dragon Clan," Ming Kong said.
"After it hatched, it carried the Will of Heaven and escaped from that world," Ming Kong added.
"It barely counts, I guess," Xu Fan said, rubbing his chin and looking at the distant Star Beast Canglong.
He thought that if his sect were to form their own world in the future, it would be excellent to have their sect based on the Star Beast Canglong.
As the Ten Thousand Star Boat approached the Ancient Green World, the figure of the Canglong Star Beast grew larger and larger.
In the star field, a Canglong Star Beast, unknown in length, was slowly roaming.
As they drew closer, they noticed thousands of lights on the Canglong's body.
Xu Fan activated his Spirit Eyes to see that each light represented a Giant City.
The light was the Shielding Spirit Light above the Giant City.
"What a peculiar sight: there are indeed Giant Cities on it in the Star Region," Xu Fan said, looking at the Giant Cities below the Shielding Spirit Light.
At this moment, Xu Fan received a piece of information about the complete data of the Canglong Starry Sky.
"Star Beast nomads, interesting," he said.
"Strong ones trade, weak ones plunder."
"At least one Invincible Venerable guards each Giant City, and at most, there can be a True Immortal," Xu Fan said, pointing at the brightest spots on the Canglong Star Beast.
"What a coincidence that the once-every-ten-thousand-years Star Beast Canglong and the randomly arriving Immortal Realm Commerce Association meet."
"Do these two have any relationship?"
In the Heavenly Zone and the Main Control Room, the two people chatted across the distance.
"Who knows, maybe the Chunhua Commerce Association wants to take advantage of the Star Beast Canglong's journey through the Ancient Green World to trade," Xu Fan speculated.
"Great Master, do you think the Commerce Association wants to subdue this Star Beast Canglong?" Ming Kong asked.
"Everything is possible. Since you often come to the Star Region, don't ask me such questions as a beginner," Xu Fan said with a laugh.
At this moment, an Immortal Ship, slightly smaller than the Building Boat, flew towards the Star Beast Canglong.
"Judging by the Immortal Ship's aggressive posture, it seems to be going to cause trouble," Xu Fan said with a smile, looking forward to the show.
Just then, the Star Beast Canglong burst into flashes of spirit light, caused by the fluctuations of the battle.
Xu Fan waved his hand, and a giant light curtain appeared in mid-air.
Inside the light curtain, two forces were fighting.
One side wore Chunhua Commerce Association uniforms, while the other side wore black robes.
This battle involved at least a thousand Venerables, more than 100 Quasi-Immortals, and more than ten True Immortals.
As the battle's intensity increased, Ming Kong controlled the Ten Thousand Star Boat to hover in place, enabling the protective shield and watching the excitement intently.
Xu Fan and a group of disciples watched the battle in the light curtain, taking out Spiritual Fruits, melon seeds, and candies to share with the viewing disciples.
"As of now, the Chunhua Commerce Association side has deployed 1,320 Venerables, including 120 Invincible Venerables."
"124 Quasi-Immortals, 13 True Immortals."
"On the side of Star Beast Canglong, there are 1,956 Venerables, 92 Invincible Venerables, 150 Quasi-Immortals, and 15 True Immortals."
"However, the number of people on the Star Beast Canglong's side is increasing, but it's still obviously not enough to keep up."
Watching the giant light curtain, Xu Fan explained to his disciples.
"From a quality perspective, the Chunhua Commerce Association clearly has an advantage."
"All of their cultivators have been systematically trained, and their cultivation techniques, divine abilities, battle formations, and magical treasures are all suitable for large-scale battles."
"On the other hand, the more numerous Star Beast Canglong side has uneven strength among cultivators, sparse battle formations, and scattered soldiers."
"However, the only advantage is that some individual cultivators are particularly outstanding."
Xu Fan spoke while projecting a few smaller light curtains.
In the small screens, each locked onto cultivators with extraordinary combat power, including Invincible Venerables and Quasi-Immortals.
As Xu Fan explained, all the disciples stared at the battle in awe.
"So, this is what a large-scale battle looks like," a disciple named Qianwan Bing thought as he watched the battle in the light curtain.
"After returning, we must practice our battle formations well. In battles of this scale, formations are really important."
"Is this a True Immortal? Their strength is formidable," another disciple exclaimed.
Some disciples were amazed, some were deep in thought, and some even stared at the outstanding combatants who single-handedly withstood the attacks of more than a dozen Invincible Venerables in the light curtain.
