747 A Mutant Civilization! (1/2)

As Wang Baole considered the situation while exchanging opinions with the other elders periodically, the seven elders of the Holy Crest Sect quickly came to an agreement.

There was already no way to change the current situation. That being the case, they decided to make use of this opportunity to steal as much as possible. If they stole enough, the Holy Crest Sect might really be able to reverse their situation and resolve their financial crisis.

At the same time, if their spoils didn't fulfill the requirements, then they would still have to get the resources needed to exchange for the mandate to return from the Grand Supreme Elder. As for those Core Formation realm cultivators, their thoughts were no longer important.

Very quickly, after the seven of them reached a consensus, they immediately greeted the Grand Supreme Elder respectfully and expressed their attitude. The Grand Supreme Elder of the Holy Crest Sect laughed and ignored the Core Formation realm cultivators as well, instead, letting Wang Baole and the others assist him in operating the Holy Crest Sect battleship together. Unleashing its maximum speed, the battleship exploded into the cosmos ahead.

To the Divine Eye civilization, this cosmos was much darker visually. However, the sense of foreignness was the same for Wang Baole and the others.

Even the Grand Supreme Elder of the Holy Crest Sect hadn't been here before. He had previously mortgaged the sect in exchange for the right to open the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons. However, he had to choose a general distance for long-distance teleportation because he didn't have the accurate coordinates.

As such, he only knew that this star domain had never been visited by the Divine Eye civilization before. Even he couldn't confirm whether they would be able to find a civilization and resources to pillage.

In this uncertainty, if one imagined the cosmos to be a black ocean, then the Holy Crest Sect's battleship was like a lone boat silently moving forward within it. Time also slowly passed in the process, and three months elapsed in a flash.

In these three months, the low-ranked cultivators of the Holy Crest Sect had accepted their fate and become silent. But the vicious glints flashing across their eyes at times were like those of hungry wolves. One could imagine that they, who had nowhere else to go, would definitely unleash a viciousness previously unseen if they were to find edible prey.

As for Wang Baole and company, they looked a lot calmer than the low-ranked cultivators. However, Wang Baole noticed that the ominous air around the other elders of the Nascent Soul realm was getting stronger. Even the Grand Supreme Elder, who was trying extremely hard to hide his thoughts, couldn't escape the observation of Wang Baole. He could see that the Grand Supreme Elder was getting increasingly anxious.

Only Wang Baole wasn't restless. On the one hand, if he wanted to leave, he could do so at any time. On the other hand, he didn't have the mandate to use the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons' seal to return to the Divine Eye civilization, though he could get it very easily.

So to him, not only did he have no feelings of anxiousness, he had even gained a deeper understanding of the royal family, the three main sects, and the history of the Divine Eye civilization through his many conversations with the different elders in this period of time.

After a period of time, if it remains like this, I'll have no choice but to act. Wang Baole narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping towards the people around him. He took another look at the Grand Supreme Elder, who had a gloomy expression and relaxedly gazed at the pitch-black cosmos outside. But as he gazed, Wang Baole's pupils suddenly constricted.

Almost in the same moment that Wang Baole's pupils constricted, the battleship, which the Holy Crest Sect put a lot of effort into repairing, noticed something amiss in the distant cosmos and sounded an alarm.

As the sound of the alarm echoed, all of the cultivators in the battleship shuddered, and their breathing quickened. That was especially so for the Grand Supreme Elder and the other cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm. All of them stared, and a glimmer flashed across the Grand Supreme Elder's eyes as he took out a crystal compass with a flick of his hand.

This crystal compass wasn't big, and it released gentle waves of light as it floated in the Grand Supreme Elder's hand. When he activated a hand seal with his left hand and pointed, the light immediately became brighter. As it grew extremely resplendent, a buzz echoed around the surroundings. It was as though an invisible hand was holding a transparent pen and sketching a star map in mid-air.

When the star map appeared, it immediately caught the eyes of everyone in the battleship.

The first to appear was an Eternal Star that seemed to be almost dead. Next, six planets of different sizes appeared around it…

The dying Eternal Star had no color, while two of the six planets surrounding it were black. Three of the planets were shifting between green and yellow but leaning towards green.

And the biggest one was no longer green, instead, emitting a faint yellow glow!

When the star map and the colors of the planets within it appeared, the breathing of the low-ranked cultivators in the battleship quickened even more. The elders beside Wang Baole all had solemn expressions, and someone quickly spoke.
