The Fragmented Immortal World had appeared.
With its Immortal Ascension Path opened, every cultivator who saw that was instantly attracted to it.
That also included dozens of other galaxies besides the Violet Gold Galaxy. Every cultivator from those galaxies quickly headed to the Immortal Ascension Path, hoping to enter the Fragmented Immortal World in search of Opportunities of Fortunes.
As such, the influx of cultivators towards the Immortal Ascension Path caused various commotions to occur.
As the cultivators from dozens of nearby galaxies headed to the same location, the closer they got, the more trouble they found themselves getting in.
Adding to the fact that a lot among these cultivators were sky-prides and even Immortal Progenies, more clashes there were among the prideful people.
Some wanted to steal what belonged to others, while some simply wanted to compare who was the strongest among them.
What was even more absurd was the ones who would pick a fight just because they crossed gazes.
‘Why the hell are you looking at me?’
‘I’ll look at whatever I want.’
‘Do it one more time. I dare you.’
It was along those lines.
…
In space, a single warship was sailing through.
Looking at the Immortal Ascension Path that was getting closer and closer, Chu Kuangren’s initial excitement, delight, eagerness had now turned into a dead calm.
He had encountered a few trouble seekers along the way.
Most of them were from other galaxies, which was a first for someone like Chu Kuangren to meet them. Although they were far weaker than him, after some fights and battles, Chu Kuangren learned that the Violet Gold Galaxy was not that advanced compared to the other galaxies. It could be regarded as average to below average at most.
Obviously, there was a difference in strength between different galaxies.
He also heard about some galaxies having a few or even dozens of stars supporting life and the growth of civilization inside them.
Boom…
At that moment, a wave of energy fluctuation appeared from afar.
It was as if a fight had broken out.
Chu Kuangren had long gotten used to things like that as he had quite a few similar encounters along the way.
He did not want to meddle in other people’s business.
However, just as he was going to pass by quietly, several warships suddenly flew towards him from a distance. One of them that was caught on fire immediately crashed towards him. It seemed like that warship had gone out of control.
“Argh! you at the front, watch out!”
A scream came from that warship.
Chu Kuangren frowned.
If that warship collided, his warship would be rendered useless. As such, his mind power surged and formed an invisible barrier that stopped that warship from crashing into him.
Right after that, a young girl suddenly tumbled out from that incoming warship. She was dressed in blue robes, about a meter and fifty-six centimeters tall (TN: 5’1″ feet), and had a pair of fox ears. A faint crescent mark could be seen on her forehead too.
Panic was all over that girl’s face as she fell towards Chu Kuangren. She could not even do a simple leap into the air as if she had no cultivation base at all.
Chu Kuangren ignored her.
With a thought from his mind, he activated the warship’s defensive formation, and a barrier of light immediately formed. He reckoned that girl would probably crash onto it.
However, to Chu Kuangren’s surprise, that girl who seemingly had no cultivation base passed through the warship’s defensive formation instead.
Not only that, but the formation did not react to her at all. The instant she passed through, Chu Kuangren sensed a peculiar fluctuation coming from the crescent mark on her forehead.
“I see. Interesting.”
Chu Kuangren grinned a little.
Bam!
“Ow! That hurts!” The fox-eared girl cried in pain as she directly fell onto the warship’s deck after going through that barrier.
She stood up and rubbed her butt while looking at Chu Kuangren with slight resentment. ‘I can’t believe he did not do anything at all even though he saw such a beautiful girl like me fall so badly. This human is too cold-blooded…’
After looking over Chu Kuangren carefully, her eyes lit up.
‘This human looks very good-looking.’
‘Oh well, I’ll forgive him, I suppose.’
The fox-eared girl thought generously.
However, the few warships in the distance earlier had gotten close to them by now.
“There’s nowhere to run, little monster!”
A cold yell sounded.
Upon hearing that, the fox-eared girl panicked and subconsciously wanted to seek protection.
However, after looking around that warship, she noticed that there was nowhere good for her to hide. Besides, the only person there was Chu Kuangren.
“Greetings, fellow human Daoist. Are you the only one onboard?”
The fox-eared girl quickly asked.
“That’s right.”
Chu Kuangren nodded.
He had activated his Omniscient Spirit by then and was currently finding out everything about the fox-eared girl. The more he learned, the more interested he felt.
“I’m done for.”
The fox-eared girl revealed a look of despair when she heard Chu Kuangren. Then, she sat on the ground as if resigning herself to her fate.
“All this bad luck has truly ruined me. Why do I have such bad luck?!”
“It’s all over now. I still haven’t even found that irresponsible father of mine. Am I going to meet my end here now?”
“Sobs. I don’t want to end like this.”
The fox-eared girl started crying upon recalling a sad memory. Her tears flowed down her face like pearls falling from a broken string, dripping one by one onto the floor.
She was crying as if a calamity had struck her. It was quite an awful and painful sight.
Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren looked calmly while standing on the side.
The fox-eared girl thought Chu Kuangren was even more cold-blooded than she thought. Seeing that she was bawling her eyes out, he did not even bother to console her.
Her fate would be even worse after she was caught too.
At that thought, her crying got worse.
“Quiet down.”
Chu Kuangren said.
The fox-eared girl did not care and continued crying her heart out.
Several warships had surrounded Chu Kuangren’s warship not far away. Judging from the build of their warship, Chu Kuangren could tell that these people came from a powerful civilization or force.
Even Planet Zi could only build a few similar warships like those with their current technology.
“Hey, you at the warship in front. Hand over that fox yokai right now!”
A loud voice rang out.
A middle-aged man came out from one of the warships riding a pair of lions as his mount.
There was a large number of cultivators around him who were also accompanied by their respective beasts. They were… enslaving those beasts!
That brought back a memory from Chu Kuangren’s past.
There was once an orthodoxy known as the Craggy Ocean Tower on Firmament Star. Their sect members specialized in enslaving demonic beasts and their bestial souls, using them in combat.
In the end, their whole orthodoxy was wiped out because they offended Chu Kuangren.
It seemed like those people had some similarities to the Craggy Ocean Tower.
“I’ll give you two choices, Lil Fox.”
Then, Chu Kuangren spoke.
He was not talking to the enemy warships but the fox-eared girl beside him instead.
The fox-eared girl did not seem to react when she heard him. She looked at Chu Kuangren while sobbing, with confusion and doubt in her red and swollen eyes.
“What do you mean?”
“Choice number one. Submit to me, serve me as your master, and I shall help you get rid of these men. Choice number two is beating you into submission once I get rid of these men,” Chu Kuangren said.
The fox-eared girl was a little dumbfounded. “Is there even a difference?”
“For the former, you won’t have to suffer by taking the initiative. For the latter, you’ll surely suffer some physical pain,” Chu Kuangren replied.
When the cultivators on the other warships heard what he said, their faces immediately turned grim. Of Chu Kuangren’s two choices, he clearly had no intention to hand over the fox-eared girl at all.
“This guy wants to take the Moonlight Fox all to himself.”
“D*mn it. The Moonlight Fox is a very rare beast. We must ensure that the Beasthunter Planet gets its hands on it. We must not let anyone stop us.”
The cultivators discussed.
They looked at Chu Kuangren with a hostile expression.
Meanwhile, on the warship, the fox-eared girl continued sobbing as she considered Chu Kuangren’s offer..
