Chapter 552 - Disciple Recruitment (1/2)

After arriving at Myriad Horn River System, Meng Chuan’s perception of the two karmic threads became clearer.

There are two sources of karma; one is closer to me, while the other is in Pang Ming Realm. Meng Chuan had completely locked onto the two cultivators who had karmic ties with him.

Pang Ming Realm was also an inhabited world. He couldn’t enter it.

Meng Chuan walked step by step in the River of Spacetime. He didn’t hesitate to head towards the one closest to him. After five minutes, Meng Chuan arrived at his destination. He no longer resisted the River of Spacetime’s repulsive force and returned to the normal void.

Huh? In the dark outer realm void, Meng Chuan saw a relatively weak Grand Yang Star in the distance. The Grand Yin Star’s light was completely concealed. There were other stars around him.

It’s right there. Meng Chuan’s speed soared, easily reaching near-light speed. Furthermore, the time flow around him accelerated by 100-fold.

It was very easy to travel in this state. To reach light speed and escape time’s shackles while maintaining the stillness of time was too burdensome for him.

Whoosh.

Even while going at terrifying speeds, he traveled with ease. He traversed tens of millions of kilometers in a second.

In a few minutes, he arrived at the Grand Yin Star.

A Grand Yin Star. Meng Chuan looked at the massive Grand Yin Star in front of him and smiled. A cultivator who had karmic ties with him was on the Grand Yin Star.

…

Unlike blazing Grand Yang Stars, Grand Yin Stars were much more restrained and mild. Although a Grand Yin Star’s deepest depths were no less terrifying than a Grand Yang Star’s, Grand Yin Stars didn’t seem dangerous on the surface. Thus, it was very suitable for cultivators to build cave abodes on Grand Yin Stars.

Cultivators knew that there were many cave abode ruins on Grand Yin Stars. However, there were billions of Grand Yin Stars in a river system! Trying to find an ancient cave abode on Grand Yin Stars was like finding a needle in a haystack.

“Be careful.”

“Duck!”

“Duck!”

A group of cultivators was exploring a cave abode—which was enveloped by an array formation—on the Grand Yin Star. They were frantically dodging attacks.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One saber beam after another swept across the area. A gray-robed female Supremacy was one step slower and was reduced to dust by the saber beam. The other seven Supremacies used various methods to dodge the saber beams desperately.

“Granny Kui.” A red-haired elder couldn’t help but feel extremely pained when he saw the gray-robed woman turn to dust.

The other cultivators continued to probe the area carefully. After the saber beams swept past them, the surroundings returned to normal. Only then did they heave a sigh of relief.

“Brother Zhang, since we are here to explore this cave abode, we were prepared to die. My condolences,” said the muscular leader with two curved horns. At the same time, he waved his hand and swept the treasures left behind by the female gray-robed Supremacy to the red-haired elder’s side. The red-haired elder and the gray-robed Supremacy were husband and wife. Their other companions wouldn’t go so far as to snatch the items left behind by Granny Kui.

The red-haired elder’s eyes turned red as he nodded slightly. “I understand. This cave abode is like what is recorded in the treasure map. It’s already our luck that it’s true. We found the cave abode, but we didn’t have the ability to obtain the treasures inside. We can only blame our lack of strength if we die in the cave abode.”

The other companions had mixed emotions.

“We came as a group of 12, but only seven of us are left.” The horned man—who was the leader of the group—swept his gaze around. “We are getting closer and closer to the cave abode’s core. Everyone, be careful. Either we make it big, or we die here. We have to seize this opportunity.”

The cultivators were determined.

Supremacies were the weakest cultivators in the vast outer realm. They did not have any spare true bodies in their homeworld. They roamed the outer realm with their only true bodies. If they died, that was it.

They were weak. Most of them came from low-level worlds. They were the only Supremacies in their homeworld.

Follow experts? Experts didn’t think highly of them.

Find cave abode ruins? The outer realm was vast. Where could they find one?

This expedition team was already very lucky to have found a cave abode. However, although they had found the ancient cave abode, many Supremacies died inside. Those who could obtain the treasures within a cave abode were either strong or lucky.

Among the seven cultivators, a tall, muscular man walked carefully with his spear in hand. I, Gao Fang, was invincible in my world. I united the world and established a dynasty. I even mastered Ancestral Master Pang Ming’s ultimate techniques. However, when I came to the outer realm, I ended up lining the outer realm’s bottom with all the other Supremacies. My homeworld is also a low-level world.

As a Supremacy, I can only obtain one of Senior Pang Ming’s treasures, a Third Tribulation treasure. Gao Fang only realized how vast the world was when he came to the outer realm.

Senior Pang Ming was a Fifth Tribulation Eminence. He had indeed left behind treasures for his homeworld. However, every Supremacy in his homeworld could only obtain up to 20 Outer Realm Essence Crystals worth of treasures. After all, Senior Pang Ming didn’t leave much for his homeworld—a total of 20,000 cubes. Some were prepared for Imperial Lords and Tribulation Eminences, so not much was left for Supremacies.

Twenty Outer Realm Essence Crystals? Although such an amount seemed quite significant for a Supremacy, they remained poor. Gao Fang’s spear was one of the treasures Senior Pang Ming had left for his homeworld. It was a Third Tribulation spear that was most suitable for his cultivation.

With this spear and the ultimate technique he cultivated, Gao Fang had the strength of a threshold Imperial Lord even though he was considered a bottom-feeder Supremacy in the outer realm. At the very least, he was ranked in this team’s top three.

I came to the outer realm with great ambitions, but after struggling for 300 years in the outer realm, my greatest resource is still the treasure Senior Pang Ming bestowed me. As for the treasures in this cave abode… it’s my opportunity. I definitely have to seize this opportunity. Gao Fang had struggled for too long. He had to grasp onto this sliver of hope, even if he had to risk his life.

The exploration team continued forward.

Although they encountered danger two more times—which were extremely harrowing experiences—none of them had died.

“We have already arrived at the cave abode’s core region. The surrounding array formations are clearly much denser,” said a cyan-haired woman. She carefully observed the array formation. She was the best at array formations in the team.
