Chapter 2587 - 2587 The Ninth Northern Expedition
2587 The Ninth Northern Expedition
When Long Wu saw Han Fei, he was very surprised, because he was supposed to meet Wushuang from the Capital of Horror. Why was Han Fei here?
Han Fei didn’t explain anything but said, “How’s the preparation of the Clean Stones I asked for?”
Long Wu said, “Three hundred million have been prepared. Because it’s not the time when the tides just burst out, and there’s still half a century before the next tide, there aren’t many Clean Stones left.”
“Three hundred million? Already prepared?”
Long Wu said, “Yes, they’re already sent here.”
!!
Han Fei was surprised. “So fast?”
Han Fei calculated the distance from the Chaotic Wasteland to the Infinite Mining Area. Even with his current speed, it would take him a month to travel at full speed. It hadn’t been long since he asked Long Wu to prepare these Clean Stones! How could the Clean Stones be in place so quickly?
Long Wu looked at Han Fei in surprise. “It’s fast if sent via Origin Stars!”
“Hiss ~”
Han Fei secretly took a breath. Long Wu’s words instantly reminded Han Fei.
In this world, the way to travel was not limited to slowly running in the Sea Realm, but could also travel via Origin Stars. The principle was simple, because at their level, they could refine their Origin Stars and carry them with them.
In this way, if two places were too far away, as long as one person placed his Origin Star next to another’s, he could achieve an ultra-long-distance teleportation by entering his Origin Star, entering the Sea of Stars, entering the other person’s Origin Star, and then returning to reality.
Because of Long Wu’s reminder, Han Fei suddenly thought of something. Did he have to take the path to the Shattered Star Sea?
If this method of visiting each other through the Origin Stars was feasible, then it was completely possible for the major factions to leave other people’s Origin Stars near the Origin Star of a certain cultivator.
Then, the stronger cultivator could cross the boundless Sea of Stars by crossing the Scattered Star Sea. So why did they set up the Scattered Star Sea? Wouldn’t it be safer, convenient, and time-saving to cross the Sea of Stars that way?
The only disadvantage of this method was that in order to descend on other people’s Origin Stars, you had to be weaker than others. Otherwise, you couldn’t enter. Therefore, this method needed to use the Origin Stars of super strong masters as the core, allowing ordinary strong masters to travel back and forth between the Sea of Stars and the Sea Realm.
In theory, this method could completely be achieved. But Han Fei felt that this was a little ridiculous. If this was the case, the existence of places like the Scattered Star Sea would be meaningless.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong. He decided to ask about this later.
Han Fei said calmly, “That’s good. I’ll take all the three hundred million. The other strong masters in the City of Wanderers should have reserved some, right? By the way, how many people have you arranged to partic.i.p.ate in this northern expedition?”
Long Wu said, “Ten. The strongest is my deputy general. His name is Chen Tianya, and he has three Great Dao Locks. Among the others, there are two perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, and the rest are all in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm.”
Han Fei nodded slightly. “Yes, but it’s enough. By the way, do you have a statistic on the number of strong masters of the City of Origin and the City of Scavengers in the Infinite Mining Areas?”
Long Wu said, “It’s hard to say. After years of investigation and fighting, I found that there aren’t many strong masters permanently stationed in the Infinite Mining Areas. There are probably only about thirty in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm, and a dozen or so in the perfected Star Transformation Realm. However, if anything happens, you know, people can be sent over via their Origin Stars. As long as they are weaker than An Qingzhi and Zhang Beihai, they can come over, so the exact number is unknown.”
After Long Wu left, Han Fei rubbed his eyebrows. In that case, as long as Zhang Beihai was around, the combat power of the Infinite Mining Area could be constantly replenished.
It should be the same for the other fractions. After all, the Infinite Mining Area was the main source of resources. If the resources were transported by manpower, G.o.d knew who would s.n.a.t.c.h them.
Therefore, it seemed that it was difficult to judge the comprehensive strength of the major factions in the Infinite Mining Area on the surface.
However, even if the strong masters of these forces could visit on both sides, so what? If possible, Han Fei wished that all the strong masters from the City of Scavengers could come over. In this way, he wouldn’t have to fight the fake Ten Thousand Scale Monarch and might be able to wipe them out.
Of course, with Han Fei’s understanding of the City of Scavengers, not only were there not many known Sky Opening Realm cultivators there, but they weren’t strong enough. Even the people in charge of the major cities below were all ordinary people who hadn’t entered the Star Transformation Realm.
Compared to the Infinite Mining Area, Han Fei was more certain that there must be a place in the Chaotic Wasteland that he didn’t know where most cultivators gathered.
However, since the City of Wanderers had been camped in the Chaotic Wasteland for tens of thousands of years, it meant that those people couldn’t be moved easily, so he was also curious about whether Zhang Beihai and An Qingzhi could transfer people over.
…
This was because the ninth northern expedition required cultivators in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm and above, so it wasn’t troublesome to gather people.
On the contrary, the gathering of strong cultivators was surprisingly fast.
However, just as Wushuang said, there were only about 15,000 people in total, which was half of the number planned.
Obviously, many ordinary factions were relatively conservative in their contributions, and some of the factions in the Hundred Alliances naturally wouldn’t come out in full force, so they didn’t send many people out.
Only the top ten major factions had sent out more people. For example, Wushuang personally led a hundred people from the Capital of Horror, including as many as 70 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators.
It was precisely because the active partic.i.p.ation of the Capital of Horror and Wushuang came in person that many people who couldn’t make up their minds chose to partic.i.p.ate in this northern expedition.
After all, no one would be stupid enough to open the way for Han Fei. Since the Capital of Horror had deployed so many people, they must be up to something big.
The Divine Capital Dynasty also deployed a lot of people, including 50 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators and 50 peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm ones.
Although the old man at the intelligence center of the Divine Capital Dynasty didn’t spend a lot of money to buy Han Fei’s intelligence, they knew a lot about the Infinite Mining Areas.
In fact, they had searched for the inheritance of the Great Monarch b.l.o.o.d.y Hand before.
Besides, when the joint exploration team went to find the inheritance of the Great Monarch b.l.o.o.d.y Hand, the people of the Divine Capital Dynasty recognized the Mine Demon Stream at a glance. However, they didn’t say it but reported it to the old man after returning.
The Divine Capital Dynasty, which had long known the relations.h.i.+p between Great Monarch Mystic Martial and Great Monarch b.l.o.o.d.y Hand, was naturally going to get serious this time.
Among the top ten major factions, because these two leading factions of the East Sea Divine Realm had both sent out such a powerful lineup, the other factions had basically sent out their full strength, although they didn’t have so many perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators.
The City of Origin ranked tenth, so they mobilized a lot of people. There were as many as 50 Perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, which exceeded many people’s expectations.
The City of Scavengers was ranked 32nd and also sent a lot of people. Although its ranking wasn’t low, after the top ten major factions, except for the City of Scavengers, no other faction sent so many people. The active partic.i.p.ation of the City of Scavengers that sent 50 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, naturally aroused many people’s suspicion. At the same time, this indirectly proved the strength of the City of Scavengers.
It was already a super force to have a hundred peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators, not to mention that half of them were in the perfected Star Transformation Realm.
The only thing Han Fei was curious about was where the City of Origin and the City of Scavengers suddenly get so many strong masters?
Logically speaking, these people could only come from that place in the Chaotic Wasteland that he hadn’t discovered. However, if the strong masters in that place could come out at will, why did the City of Wanderers still exist?
No! Apart from that place, there should be other places for strong masters to live in the Chaotic Wasteland. Or maybe, the existence of the City of Wanderers was tacitly approved.
The significance of the City of Wanderers’ existence was that it was used by the City of Origin and the City of Scavengers to train soldiers. Or could it be that these two cities kept the City of Wanderers and let them fight them for show to outsiders?
At this moment, Han Fei had too many questions about the Chaotic Wasteland. If he didn’t solve these questions, his plan to save mankind couldn’t be carried out perfectly.
What if when he had the capital to conquer the City of Scavengers, hundreds of perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators or a Monarch suddenly popped up? Then wouldn’t he have been busy in vain all these years?
Long Wu probably didn’t know much about this matter. Otherwise, as an old enemy of the City of Origin and the City of Scavengers, it was impossible for him not to know the basic situation of the strong masters of these two cities.
He had to ask Gu Tingnan about the Chaotic Wasteland. This guy could survive tens of thousands of years in the Chaotic Wasteland and even create the City of Wanderers. There must be a problem.
If the strong masters in those mysterious places could come out at will, Gu Tingnan would have been killed long ago, let alone build a city.
Han Fei sighed in his heart. Fine, he had a lot of questions, so he could only take it one step at a time. At least, this northern expedition had killed many birds with one stone. The perfected Star Transformation Realm and peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators were not so common. If a hundred of them died, he didn’t believe that the City of Origin and the City of Scavengers wouldn’t feel the pain.
