Chapter 631: Space Bandits

The new universe coordinate map has caused a great response. Although the number of universes surrendered is constantly increasing, compared with the new universe coordinate map, everyone finds that it is not worth mentioning at all. The universe is vast and boundless. Only the Daluo can see it clearly, and only the saints can travel across it.

Everyone thought it was a dragon entering the sea, but unexpectedly it still jumped into a larger lake. Some immortals felt frustrated at first, but later everyone became more and more excited. Many immortals even became more motivated, especially the immortals in the star gate.

The universe is so wonderful, and it’s even better because it is vast. It means an endless supply of resources, more opportunities, and the ability to climb higher mountains. To sum up, the vast universe is the future!

Since the beginning of this year, the Star Gate has been very active. Even if the two armies from the East and the West encountered Daluo and conquered the Daluo Universe, no one paid attention. No matter whether they were Golden Immortals or Heavenly Immortals, they all wanted to form a universe wandering team to explore the universe.

Even the mall turmoil in the Eight Desolations Academy had disappeared. All the immortals no longer cared about those little benefits. What everyone liked most was to discuss the universe, conquer a certain universe, and share the benefits with the Heavenly Court.

Despite this, not everyone can leave the Eight Desolate Universe. Skynet is the only way to leave the Eight Desolate Universe. Even the Taiyi God and Demon cannot break through the space and leave the Eight Desolate Universe. After all, the Eight Desolate Universe is not in the universe domain!

Therefore, Golden Immortals became explorers, Heavenly Immortals registered and joined the Universe Wandering Team, and even Immortals who did not want to take risks joined traveling merchants. Star Gate became the only official channel to freely leave the Eight Desolate Universe.

Pei Dong'er was so happy, she made a lot of money this time!

First, the expeditionary force encountered a Daluo Tianxian and directly summoned Immortal Master Mo Hen to suppress him. Later, this Daluo Tianxian was refined into a Taoist soldier by the emperor and empress. Now it is in her hands. She has a new trump card to continue the expedition. She doesn’t know how great it is.

Soon after that, Star Gate became extremely popular. Every immortal who joined had to pay a generous amount of Yuan Qi coins, and even taxes from Heaven. Star Gate would get a share, and she would also get a share. They really became rich.

Yuanqi coins can be exchanged for Tianting Immortal Coins. Tianting Immortal Coins are the official immortal coins launched by the Emperor and Empress, applicable to Golden Immortals and Taiyi. This thing can even be used to purchase merits, but it is rarely available. Occasionally someone takes them out for auction at the Tianwang Auction House. Tianting Immortal Coins are the most popular.

Pei Dong'er also has a request for the Heavenly Court's immortal coins. According to the standards of the Heavenly Court's immortal salary, her immortal salary belongs to the level of the Heavenly King. With the subsidy from the Heavenly Concubine, her immortal salary is very generous. However, as a Taiyi god and demon, this immortal salary is nothing.

Why did the emperor and empress let the concubines perform their duties? In addition to letting them practice and walk their own paths, they could also earn more generous immortal salaries. Ji Shuanghua was the master of the Eight Desolate Academy, Mo Hen was in charge of the military, Mei Xianren led the expeditionary army, and Chu Wuxia was in charge of the judicial heavenly army.

They all have their own positions and conveniences, can obtain generous heavenly coins, and can purchase any resources at will. Pei Dong'er is now one of them, and can also purchase anything she wants at will.

The popularity of Star Gate means that the trend of the Eight Desolate Universe is to go out and explore the universe. Many immortal officials in the Heavenly Court have submitted memorials, hoping that the Emperor and Empress can send out another expeditionary force, or even more expeditionary forces.

But the emperor and empress just took a casual look and kept it without sending it out, because it was impossible for them to agree. Every attack of the expeditionary force was well prepared, including the two armies of the east and west led by Pei Dong'er and Jiang Youning.

The warships are secondary, and the selection of heavenly soldiers and generals is not important. The key is that there are no more Daluo. So far, there are only three Daluo Golden Immortals, Qinglian Immortal Venerable, Qianyu Immortal Venerable, and Mohen Immortal Venerable, and the rest are not so good.

Neither Fenghan's Taoist soldiers nor the new Wumeng Taoist soldiers are Daluo Jinxian. Although their combat effectiveness is very good, they are useless if they encounter Daluo Jinxian. Only the east and west armies are closer and safer, otherwise the emperor and empress would not agree.

The Eight Desolations lasted for thirty-six thousand four hundred years, and it was the Mysterious Heaven.

Sect Leader Tiange was holding a meeting with the Taiyi and Golden Immortals in the sect. The main purpose of this meeting was to discuss the issue of taking over the position of Sect Leader. Since the only candidate was Chen Lei, and he was the most suitable one, it was actually just a formality.

"Then," Tiange Sect Master said with a smile, "From today on, Chen Lei is the candidate Sect Master of Luotian Xianmen. In the future, he will take over the position of Heavenly King, representing Luotian Xianmen in the first row of the Heavenly Court. Is everyone okay with that?"

All the Taiyi and Golden Immortals shook their heads, and several of them showed excitement on their faces. This gathering was of great significance. If it was truly implemented, it would only be a matter of time before Chen Lei took over the position of headmaster.

Similarly, because Chen Lei became the headmaster, it meant that the position of headmaster would no longer be passed down from master to disciple, and it would no longer be the ninth vein, but would rotate among the peak veins, which meant that other peak veins would have opportunities in the future.

Also, because Chen Lei is a prodigy of the younger generation, once Chen Lei becomes the head sect leader, there will naturally be changes within the Luotian Immortal Sect, and the young immortals will have a lot more say, especially those of the same generation as Chen Lei.

After no one objected, Luotian Xianmen announced the result on the sect's Tianwang website, which meant that the procedure was completed and Chen Lei officially became the reserve headmaster. If anything unexpected happened to Headmaster Tiange, Chen Lei would take over.

"I can give way at any time, but given the current situation, it is better to stay still than to move." Master Tiange said, "The expeditionary force still needs Chen Lei, and more importantly, he cannot appear in the Jade Emperor Palace in Heaven for the time being."

"That's right," Yan Xun nodded. "Chen Lei is the marshal of the military and a general of the expeditionary force. If he takes over the position, he will have to leave the military, which is not worth the loss. Now I hope Jiang Youning can make achievements and take over."

"There are actually some good talents among the younger generation." Zhao Hao said, "It's just that their strength cannot be improved and it's hard for them to convince the public. I think we can train them well and it would be best if they can make contributions before the next grand court meeting."

"This is easy," You Daozun said, "The hottest topic right now is the Star Gate. I heard that many immortal sects and Taoist sects are interested in asking the military to form a team to escort the Star Gate's universe wandering team. This is a good opportunity."

The Taoist sects were also trying to find ways to get opportunities to make merit. Every man has his own position, and if one wants to do well in the Heavenly Court, one must know how to gain merit. Plus, the Emperor and Empress did not want to expand the expeditionary force, so the escort team was proposed.

The so-called escort team is actually to escort the star gate's space wandering team to prevent the space wandering team from encountering some dangers. It can also establish safe routes to prevent the space wandering team from running around aimlessly.

The escort team is not an expeditionary force. The warships used will not be large ones, and light ones are best. It is best to use the universe as a base, and it is best to form an escort team in each universe, so that a safe waterway network can be created.

Currently, this matter is still in the planning stage. To realize it, the approval of the Emperor and Empress must be obtained. Without the approval of the Emperor and Empress, the Heavenly Court cannot discuss and pass it at all. You Daozun has a huge network of relationships, and the fact that he was able to get the news shows that he is also involved.

"Will the escort team be selected from the heavenly soldiers and generals?" Yan Xun asked.

"We must select them from the heavenly soldiers and generals," You Daozun explained. "If it is a privately formed team, it cannot be an escort team. Only if it is formed in the name of the Heavenly Court can it be called an escort team, and everyone will trust it."

"Then things will be simple," Chen Lei said. "Just make it happen and let our people join in. On the one hand, they can accumulate merits, and on the other hand, they can practice and learn how to command a team. This is also a good exercise."

Although the expeditionary force has gone very far, it does not mean that there are no external demons outside the Golden Immortal-level universe. In fact, in addition to the external demons in the universe, there are also cosmic bandits. These bandits are all Golden Immortal and Taiyi-level cultivators.

There are not many Taiyi-level cosmic bandits, most of them are at the Golden Immortal level. Relying on Golden Immortal weapons or Taiyi Immortal treasures, they rob or plunder in the cosmic domain. It can be said that the number of bandits in the cosmic domain is more than that of extraterrestrial demons.

Among the Golden Immortals who were subdued by the Heavenly Court and returned to the universe, there are many cosmic bandits. These people dare not stay in the universe for too long. They are just looking for some rare materials, such as meteorites floating in the universe.

This is not an ordinary meteorite, but a natural fairy treasure material that is difficult to damage even by golden fairy weapons. In the process of searching for meteorites, if they find an unfamiliar fairy, they will become bandits and hunt him directly.

Of course, the same goes for the demons outside the universe.

"Things haven't happened yet, and it's not easy to push them forward." Tiange said, looking at Emperor Hongluan, "What methods do you have?"

"Just submit a petition directly," said Emperor Hongluan expressionlessly, "Publicize the situation, and the Emperor and Empress will naturally consider it. There are too many immortals who have surrendered to the universe, and too many immortals who have joined the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that the emperor and empress had already asked the immortals in the Eight Desolate Universe to leave in order to reduce the burden. Now the number of a new batch of immortals who had surrendered had increased dramatically due to the recruitment of new heavenly soldiers and generals, which did not meet the requirements of the emperor and empress.

It just so happens that the escort team has been established, and in the future another group of immortals will leave the Eight Desolate Universe. This is a wonderful thing for the emperor. As long as all parties agree to give up their interests, this matter will be successful without any accidents.

"Then it's settled," said Tiange, the headmaster. "There's one more thing. The second rotation is about to begin. Emperor Hongluan and I will be back and will not join the expeditionary force. Instead, you will take over."

"I can go to the battleship, but I have to send a clone." Zhao Hao said immediately.

"A clone will do," Chen Lei said, "I like the headmaster and the emperor to use clones to participate. There are not many Taiyi in the sect. We can't just abandon such a rich merit!"

"Alright." Tiange's headmaster frowned slightly, "I have no objection."

"I can do the same," said the Red Luan Emperor. "I will return to the Daluo Universe to retreat, and will not come out for a long time in the future. Don't look for me for matters in the sect in the future. I can't do anything about it, and you few are enough."

This is not the first time that Emperor Hongluan has said this, so everyone is mentally prepared. To be honest, Emperor Hongluan's retreat is much better than joining the expeditionary force. The expeditionary force is at most to accumulate merit, but Emperor Hongluan is attacking the Daluo Mirror!

Once Luotian Immortal Sect has a Daluo Golden Immortal, it will be firmly in the lead as the first immortal sect. Qianyu Immortal Sect cannot threaten Luotian Immortal Sect. Now, Qianyu Immortal Sect has at most one Qianyu Daluo, while the other sects have less than two Taiyi and no more than ten Golden Immortals, not to mention the latecomers.

Without completing the expedition mission and without sufficient merit, Qianyu Daluo would not dare to open the mountain gate, so Luotian Immortal Sect still has plenty of time to wait for Emperor Hongluan to attack Daluo. They hope that Emperor Hongluan can succeed, otherwise they will be very passive.

After the matter was settled, everyone started chatting casually, generally sharing their own affairs. The Golden Immortals focused on the Moral Immortals and the Golden Immortals of Fortune and Blessings. The eighty-one Moral Immortals of the Luotian Immortal Sect performed well.

Because they are forbidden to leave the Eight Desolate Universe, this group of immortals diligently accept tasks to earn merit. They have accumulated a lot of merit over the years. Although they cannot condense a golden body of merit, it is still very easy to condense a layer of merit light. Because of this, they become more cautious and more eager for merit.

The moral immortals of Luotian Immortal Sect are truly moral. They are making more and more satisfied with the immortals of Luotian Immortal Sect. At least they are presentable figures and a respectable group. Even other immortals of the sect are proud to publicize them.

On the contrary, the moral celestial beings from other immortal sects were not just a little bit inferior. During the conversation, it was clearly known that the moral celestial beings created by the Taoist sect were not moral at all and they caused a big disturbance on the battleship.

Not to mention the wanton attacks, the key point is that none of them look like moral immortals, which can easily destroy the atmosphere on the warship. Injuring people is nothing new, but violating the discipline of the warship is the most fatal.

"Violations of discipline will be recorded," Tiange Sect Master said calmly, "I don't know about the other warships, I only know that the warships of the ten major immortal sects made too much trouble, and Mei Xianren personally took action and severely reprimanded them."

"They are suffering from calamity entering their bodies," Chen Lei said. "It's a bit similar to when we were in Qianyuan Realm before. The calamity aura envelopes their bodies. They don't have the protection of the sect's luck, nor do they have enough merit to protect themselves. They are also in the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man, and they are still in the universe. Naturally, they behave so badly."

"Why don't they come back?" Zhao Hao asked.

"Come back?" You Daozun sneered, "They are the abandoned children of the Xianmen Dao Sect. They went to the expeditionary army to make contributions. If they don't make any contributions and instead get into trouble, the sect will not bless them. Whatever happens, it will be what it is."

"Isn't it?" Zhao Hao widened his eyes.

"They will be abandoned directly and punished by the Heavenly Court." You Daozun nodded. "When the time comes, the sect's disasters will be taken away by this group of moral celestial beings. Not only will it not damage the sect's luck, but it will stabilize the sect's luck, because they are the ones who prevent disasters for the sect. Now you know why the Immortal Sect Dao Sect did not recall them, right?"

"Too horrible," Zhao Hao shook his head, looking horrified, "Fortunately our sect is not like that, otherwise it would be really hurtful. At least I wouldn't dare to join such a sect. Who would be willing to trust a sect that doesn't even care about its own disciples?"

"So," You Daozun smiled, "this is the key."
