My filial piety will never change

Qing Meng, Gui Yuzhen and Demon Emperor Yindang also had no objections.

Zhao Yuchen looked at Ye Ye and Pluto, and the latter two nodded at the same time. As for the old man Shaxue, of course he had no questions either.

So they immediately headed for Baigao Star.

Using their newly acquired boat, they quietly arrived at Baigao Star. God King Hao Kun had already transferred control of the God King Palace to Mingjing Tianzun, as Zhao Yuchen had requested.

Everyone gathered in the palace, and Zhao Yuchen began to assign tasks: "Mingjing Tianzun, be responsible for suppressing the God King Hao Kun and ensuring our safety."

"The three masters are responsible for integrating all resources at hand and making arrangements for you all."

"Su Xin, Qian Qing, Bi Bi, Gui Yu Zhen, Qing Meng, you are responsible for collecting information from all parties in Shang Xuan Tian."

"Ye Ye, Pluto, Yin Cang, you are responsible for the overall defense. You must pay attention to the movements of Feiniao Tianzun and Zhendao League."

"Old Shaxue, you are responsible for being a killer. If there are people who need to be dealt with, you will be the one to deal with them."

"Hehe, that's exactly what I want." Shaxue showed a sinister smile.

Shen Jing looked around and pointed at his nose, "What about me?"

Zhao Yuchen said, "You will be the backup ingredient. When we run out of resources, we will stew you!"

"... "

As everyone smiled, Zhao Yuchen continued, "While carrying out your own tasks, I will arrange for everyone to take turns to practice in the Wujian Tower so that we can digest the resources at hand as soon as possible."

After the tasks were assigned, everyone began to act according to the plan.

For a period of time afterwards, they settled peacefully on Baigao Star, cultivating and learning about the various aspects of Shangxuantian. Zhao Yuchen gradually perfected his identity brand, allowing the team members to move more freely in Shangxuantian.

...

Six months later…

Zhao Yuchen was inside the Wujian Tower, and the three masters were merging their spiritual thoughts.

The four masters and apprentices are all scaleless fish, and their bodies are in the state of heavenly tide, which is wonderful beyond words.

When the fusion ended, Zhao Yuchen's natal artifact was still nailed in Gongsun Ningyu's body.

"Chen'er... it's time... to end it." Gongsun Ningyu's face flushed with shame, her body covered in sweat, and she moaned in shamelessness.

Zhao Yuchen grabbed Gu Lingling's ankle with one hand and climbed to the top of Shengying with the other. "Second Master, Third Master, do you think we should end this?"

Gu Lingling leaned her upper body over Gongsun Ningyu and bit her playfully, "Big Sister is the most resistant. Of course, we can't let it end so easily. She needs greater satisfaction."

Sheng Ying bit Gongsun Ningyu's ear without hesitation, "Senior Sister is playing hard to get, little brat, don't be fooled."

Zhao Yuchen smiled knowingly, "I see. Then I must be filial to Master. Only in this way can I be worthy of heaven and earth."

With that, his divine weapon pierced through the valley, and the unstoppable attack sent Gongsun Ningyu plummeting into the abyss...

Chapter 9: Outpouring of Will

"Hot~"

Divine liquid began to rain from the sky, sprinkling on the three beautiful masters. Gongsun Ningyu, who was attacked the most, let out a soft moan of unbearable pain.

Gu Lingling and Sheng Ying were like little greedy cats, helping Zhao Yuchen to clean up his natal artifact that was filled with turbid air.

The two sisters have fought together many times and have long been in sync with each other and cooperate seamlessly, making the exhausted Zhao Yuchen end up being no less defeated than Gongsun Ningyu.

Gongsun Ningyu wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth and said with a charming smile: "Perhaps this is retribution..."

"Ah~" Zhao Yuchen was finally unable to maintain the power of his natal divine weapon. His will collapsed and he sighed to the sky.

"Our cultivation has entered the late stage of God King..." Zhao Yuchen rested his head on Shengying's soft Luanfeng and sighed.

Over the past six months, all team members have worked tirelessly and practiced, and all members have entered the late stage of God King, and Zhao Yuchen has even reached the peak of God King.

This meant that the years of cultivation in the Wujian Tower had significantly increased their limit, and without any bottlenecks, they could advance all the way as long as they had sufficient resources. Of course, this continuous progress could only be maintained up to the peak of the Tianzun Realm. As for the Daozu Realm, it required a different set of comprehension methods, which could not be changed by resources.

Shengying gently stroked Zhao Yuchen's cheek. "Our current achievements are certainly gratifying, but our resources have been exhausted. Even the entire Baigao Star has been squeezed dry. We need to find other resources."

Gu Lingling narrowed her eyes and said, "We now have more than ten Divine King Realm cultivators here. Even Mingjing Tianzun and Shaxue have returned to the Tianzun Realm. We can officially expand to the surrounding areas."

Gongsun Ningyu sat up, cleaned herself up, and added, "Then the first person we should deal with should be Feiniao Tianzun."

Over the past six months, the team has been continuously collecting information about Shang Xuantian and has basically understood the power structure of Shang Xuantian.

Generally speaking, they are divided into personal forces, Daozu forces, and Daozhen League forces.

The internal members of these three forces are interconnected, some deep and some shallow, in a complex and intricate way. If one is unlucky and touches one of the roots, it will cause a violent shock.

Feiniao Tianzun is a personal power, controlling hundreds of planets and ruling this star region. It's said he has some connections with Hunling Daozu, one of the Three Great Dao Ancestors. However, they aren't close partners. With careful attention to detail, he could be taken down.

Once Feiniao Tianzun is captured, the resources of hundreds of planets under his control will be taken into his possession, and it will not be difficult to train Tianzun-level team members at that time.

Zhao Yuchen thought deeply and said, "Then we need to think of a way to lure Feiniao Tianzun to Baigao Star, and then encircle and suppress him."

Sheng Ying said, "Based on the battle records I've collected about Tianzun, it's extremely difficult to kill a Tianzun. Even the three great Dao Ancestors can only destroy their physical bodies, but not their spirit souls, if they're desperately trying to save their lives. If a wisp of spirit soul escapes and attracts the attention of the three great Dao Ancestors, things will be very difficult to deal with."

Zhao Yuchen said, "Then, to be on the safe side, we should further enhance the overall strength of our members. On the one hand, we should secretly replicate the method used to capture Baigao Star and capture a dozen or so surrounding planets. On the other hand, I plan to visit Mingjing Tianzun's cave, which may yield great rewards. As for the accompanying personnel... the three of us plus Shen Suxin should be enough."

"it is good!"

...

With the plan in place, Zhao Yuchen, his three masters, and Shen Suxin embarked on a journey to the cave of Mingjing Tianzun. Mingjing Tianzun, due to her sensitive status, was not allowed to go in person, but she provided a detailed route and a method to open the cave entrance.

The other members followed the plan and began to quietly lay out their plans around Baigao Star, preparing to take over other planets in a similar manner.

The five of them traveled through the interstellar teleportation array and arrived at a planet called "Magnetic Star". This planet was hidden on the edge of Shangxuantian and was the location of Mingjing Tianzun's former cave.

The reason they were so cautious was because this place was under the jurisdiction of Junhong Daozu, one of the three great Daozu. Any unusual behavior here could attract the Daozu's attention, so they must not take it lightly.

Once they were ready, they followed the magnetic planet's equator and found Mingjing's cave. The cave was nestled in a hidden valley, surrounded by towering mountains. This area was occupied by a group of Taiyi-level cultivators, who had established a small settlement there, led by a Divine King-level cultivator.

As a great celestial being, Mingjing's cave will naturally be surrounded by Taoist spiritual energy, thus forming a natural secret realm.

These monks make a living from this.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Zhao Yuchen, his three masters, and Shen Suxin all used disguises, suppressing their cultivation to the middle stage of the Divine Realm, making them look like ordinary explorers.

They arrived at the entrance of the settlement and told the guards their purpose.

"You want to explore the secrets of the magnetar? This is no joke. It's full of dangers. Even our leader doesn't dare to enter easily." There was a hint of warning in the guard's voice.

Zhao Yuchen smiled slightly and handed over some spirit stones as a bribe. "We are aware of the dangers involved, but wealth and honor are sought in danger. Please help us."

The guard weighed the spirit stone in his hand and smiled with satisfaction. "If that's the case, then you can go in. But I must remind you, if you encounter any danger, we will not help you."

"Of course." Zhao Yuchen nodded and took his three masters and Shen Suxin into the settlement.

They passed through the settlement and arrived deep in the valley. Here, they sensed a powerful barrier. This was a protective barrier set up by Mingjing Tianzun, one that even a cultivator at the Divine King level would find difficult to break.

Zhao Yuchen followed the method provided by Mingjing Tianzun and carefully broke the restriction, revealing a hidden cave entrance. They looked at each other, confirmed that there was no problem, and stepped into the cave together.

Inside the cave is a huge space with a huge pool in the center. The water in the pool is dark blue and exudes a rich spiritual energy.

They had the cave route map drawn by Mingjing in their hands, and easily found the stone chamber where the resources were stored. When the stone chamber was opened, it was filled with storage bags, and the storage bags were all filled with spirit stones, spiritual medicines and magic tools.

"It seems that Mingjing Tianzun had accumulated a lot of wealth in the past." Gu Lingling's eyes showed excitement.

"Take it away first." Zhao Yuchen said, and began to put the resources into the storage bag.

...

On an inconspicuous planet billions of miles away, a bearded old man opened his bright eyes and said to himself, "She's back..."

Chapter 10 Junhong Daozu

Just as Zhao Yuchen, his three masters, and the divine crystal were about to leave the cave with their harvested resources, the sky above suddenly shifted, and a massive hand emerged, covering almost half the sky. This hand, composed of purest energy, was woven with complex and profound runes, emanating a terrifying pressure.

The monks stationed here didn't even have a chance to react before they were instantly destroyed by this force. The entire cave also quickly collapsed under the pressure of this force, with rocks flying into the air and smoke and dust billowing.

"This is the power of the Heavenly Venerable level." Sheng Ying said, gazing at the sky.

Gu Lingling stroked her chin and analyzed, "Could it be that Daozu Junhong discovered us?"

Gongsun Ningyu said solemnly, "I hope not. Find a chance to leave."

Zhao Yuchen took a deep breath and said, "Whether it is true or not, we will know after trying it!"

He attacked directly, mobilizing the system-granted ability - "Null Defense", which could reduce the opponent's defense by 70%. In a confrontation of this level, any advantage could become the key to victory or defeat.

The Jade Maiden Sword in his hand shone brilliantly, a supreme rhythm flowing through it, as if resonating with the entire universe. He concentrated all his strength into the sword, its tip pointing directly at the giant hand.

"Break it for me!" Zhao Yuchen shouted, and the Jade Maiden Sword turned into a stream of light and went straight to the giant hand.

The giant hand seemed to sense the threat, and the runes on it glowed brightly, attempting to block the sword. However, under the effect of "Invalid Defense", its defense was greatly weakened, and the Jade Maiden Sword pierced its palm without any hindrance, causing a huge explosion.

The giant hand shattered and turned into points of light that dissipated in the air.

"Let's go!" Zhao Yuchen led his three masters and the divine crystal to fly quickly towards the cave entrance without any hesitation.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, more giant hands emerged from all directions, overwhelming and overwhelming, as if to cover the entire valley.

These giant hands were more powerful than the previous one. Each strike carried destructive force. The surrounding mountains were as fragile as tofu in the face of this force and collapsed one after another.

"Nine Profound Killing Domain!" Zhao Yuchen used the domain to block part of the attack.

The three masters also attacked at the same time. Their attacks fell on these giant hands like a storm, but these giant hands seemed endless. No matter how they attacked, new giant hands would always appear.

"These giant hands seem endless. If we continue to fight, we will only be constantly consumed." Gongsun Ningyu saw the essence of the problem and continued, "Avoiding battle is still the primary option."

The divine crystal was suspended in the air, and a faint light emanated from her body, as if she was communicating with some mysterious power.

"Mother, these attacks are directly mobilizing the source of the Tao. As long as the Tao of Heaven and Earth is not destroyed, it can be resurrected!" Shen Jing said, "This shows that the opponent is not a Heavenly Venerable, but a Dao Ancestor."

Zhao Yuchen tried to use spiritual light to ban magic and freeze time, but with little effect, which shows that the other party is indeed much stronger than Tianzun.

Gongsun Ningyu looked at the divine crystal, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Shen Jing blinked quietly and said, "I can use the same origin of Dao rhyme to disrupt the cohesion of these giant hands, causing them to lose their order."

Suddenly, a strong light burst out from her body, and the Dao rhythm of the entire valley was affected at this moment, and the attack patterns of those giant hands became a little chaotic.

"Now!" Zhao Yuchen shouted, and the Jade Maiden Sword struck again, piercing through a giant hand like cutting tofu, then the second, the third...

The three masters were no less capable and cleared the sky in just a few breaths.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the five people turned into five streams of light, broke through the blockade of the giant hand, and fled into the distance.

But before they could even catch their breath, a cold voice rang out in their ears: "Take the path with reason, and follow the flow without fate. Don't be greedy for what is not yours."

In the cosmic space, the shadow of an old man slowly condensed. With a gentle wave of his hand, thousands of Dao principles transformed into a giant spider web, entangling Zhao Yuchen and the others. Each Dao principle contained the power of a Heavenly Venerable, enough to easily crush a cultivator at the Divine King level.

"It's like a maggot attached to the bone, it's disgusting!" Zhao Yuchen shouted, mobilizing the ability granted by the system - "return the favor."

Just as those laws were about to touch them, they suddenly changed direction and rolled back towards the old man's shadow.

The old man showed a surprised expression on his face and had to step back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Jing attacked again, and an even stronger light emanated from her body. The laws of the entire universe were affected at this moment and became chaotic.

Zhao Yuchen and the others seized this opportunity and increased their speed with all their might, finally escaping from the old man's attack range before his attack came again.

"go!"

Without any hesitation, Zhao Yuchen led his three masters and the divine crystal back to Baigao Star through the teleportation array.

After returning to Baigao Star, they immediately told the other team members about their experience.

When they learned that they might have met Taoist Master Junhong, everyone felt a lingering fear.

The last thing they want to encounter now is Daozu, as that means they will face a real life and death crisis.

Fortunately, Daozu Junhong did not follow up.

Mingjing Tianzun explained the reason: "What you encountered was only a clone of Daozu Junhong. He must still be in seclusion, comprehending the origin of the Dao. If it were his real body, you wouldn't have enough lives to escape."

Zhao Yuchen deeply agreed. If it was really the real person, his system ability should not be effective.

After Zhao Yuchen and his companions returned, Bai Gaoxing's plan to conquer the surrounding planets continued in full swing. Ao Bibi, Gui Yuzhen, Qing Meng, Ye Ye, Ming Wang, Yin Cang, and others each led a team and, using the same method Zhao Yuchen had used to control the God King Hao Kun, quietly took control of a dozen nearby planets.

The resources of these planets are continuously transported to Baigao Star, and the resources for the future are basically guaranteed.

"It seems our plan is going very smoothly, but there is still a problem to deal with." Zhao Yuchen looked at the Divine King Hao Kun, who had become the younger brother among the younger brothers, "You need to cooperate with us to lure the Sky Lord of Birds here, and then officially take over his star domain."

"Yes, master." God King Hao Kun stood respectfully in front of him. Now he was completely controlled by Zhao Yuchen and his gang and became his loyal puppet.
