At a luxurious tavern in the Horned Dragon Star, the Three Coves Quadrant, the faces of the immortals were utterly flushed as they stepped out, with the short Golden Immortal unable to help himself from wiping his mouth and sighing, “Those dragon ladies were really something.
“Hehe.”
Someone chuckled softly.
Ever bad tempered, the short Golden Immortal promptly barked, “Zhou Li, are you laughing at me?”
Being an Immortal Swordsman of the Penglai Sect, Zhou Li had always been a rival to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s Golden Immortal, and even sneered then. “I was just laughing at you wiping your mouth.”
“You dog!”
Just as the two were about to fight, the Scale Dragons’ Golden Immortal promptly said, “Brothers, we’ve been staying here on Horned Dragon Star for days. We must be on our way and return to the homeworld, or there is no telling what mess those mongrel Green Hill Foxes would have caused.”
The group hence arrived near the warp portal.
Just as they were about to step into it…
Oom!
The radiance of the warp portal shone, and several immortals stepped up, cutting sorry figures.
Their cultivation was not weak either—two were True Immortals while seven were Heavenly Immortals.
They were indeed the Green Hill Foxes who fled.
And when they saw the other immortals, those nine Immortal Foxes could not help becoming delighted, and one of the True Immortals even kowtowed to the other Golden Immortals, greeting, “My lords.”
And with that, he started bawling over the grief that rose from the bottom of his heart.
The Golden Immortal Scale Dragon hence stepped up and asked uncertainly, “Didn’t your clan return to the homeworld ahead of us? Why have your returned? And where is that old fox?”
Then, he said, “Stand up now and tell us.”
It was only then that the True Immortal Fox exclaimed, “My clan elder… has fallen!”
“What?”
The many immortals paled at that.
All of them knew what the old fox was capable of, and none of them were entirely confident that they could defeat him. As such, they were stunned to hear that the old fox had fallen and promptly pressed, “What actually happened?”
“That old fox was Golden Immortal-advanced and would not lose to me in ability, not to mention that the Grand Luo of your clan would certainly have bestowed some protection on this return to the homeworld… how could he fall so easily?”
The one asking was Zhou Li of the Penglai Sect, and his gaze then shifted as he growled, “Could the Hundred Races have made a move?”
That was about the only possibility: the champions of the Hundred Races were hiding somewhere and had ambushed them.
The True Immortal Fox smiled bitterly but shook his head. “It’s not the Hundred Races… but a Heavenly Immortal human.”
“What?!”
Another Golden Immortal, wearing blood-colored armor, surrounded in faint Demonic Qi and bearing a weird appearance laughed coldly at that. “Funny. How could a True Immortal kill that old fox?!”
“Everything I say is true! That Heavenly Immortal human is so frightening that he condensed a hundred and eighty Heavenly Immortal Dao… he wiped out the legacy we Green Hill Foxes left on the homeworld, and if two of our fellow True Immortals and several other Heavenly Immortals did not fight to buy time, we would not have escaped!”
At those words, the True Immortal Fox’s expression darkened and he exclaimed in agony, “I’ve also checked with a secret technique… and the ones who tried to delayed him had already fallen too!”
With the many immortals being left at a loss, there was hence silence outside the warp portal.

Meanwhile, Jiang He had arrived where Mars had been.
The Daemon Fox’s soul fragment was slowly recovering his immortal form and spoke despite being a little frail, “The warp portals on Mars are destroyed, my lord. However, the ones coming would appear near where those warp portals had been if they could survive the blast from the dimensional turbulence.”
Jiang He stared at the stars then and sighed, “I thought there was no way you lot could come back when I blew up Mars… but now it seems that, if they were powerful enough, they could teleport even if the warp portal on one end was destroyed?”
The Daemon Fox nodded.
Jiang He turned to look at him and asked with an unfriendly tone, “What are you doing?”
“Eh?”
The Daemon Fox who was recovering his immortal form was startled, and promptly answered, “I’m recovering my immortal form, Master.”
“I know you’re recovering your immortal form.”
Jiang He then pointed at the hexagonal crystal sparkling with immortal radiance that floated in front of the Daemon Fox, asking, “What is that?”
“It’s an immortal crystal that contains pure Immortal Yuan Strength. It could be used to cultivate or replenish Immortal Yuan Strength—though my body is gone, I could instantly rebuild it with enough immortal crystals. It would at least take years for me to do it otherwise.”
Jiang He’s eyes lit up.
Immortal crystal?
Those things were almost the same as spirit stones in function.
However, it was untold times superior in grade than spirit stones. When he remembered that even superior-grade spirit stones did not earn him much Farm Points now, and had planned to get some premium-grade spirit stones…
Even so, premium-grade spirit stones were extremely rare.
At the very least, the mineral vein of spirit stones on Earth had dried up for several thousand years, and getting any was impossible.
But what wasn’t on Earth could be found on the celestial battlefield!
Can’t you see this dog using the immortal crystal to recover its body?
Jiang He took out several Spatial Rings with a flip of his palm. There were eight of these, each which Jiang He had obtained from the single True Immortal Fox and seven Heavenly Immortal Foxes. He had not seen the Golden Immortal Fox’s Spatial Ring, however, and it could have been destroyed completely by the violent explosion of the Strengthened Heavenly Thunderbolt Atomic Hand Grenades.
With a sweep of his immortal will, Jiang He became spirited at once.
There were many resources in the eight Spatial Rings. The mystic treasures, medicinal pellets, and spirit stones came in bucketloads, and it seemed that these Immortal Foxes were not returning to visit home. Indeed, it made sense that they would bring some resources to groom their fellow clan folk in the homeworld.
Meanwhile, Jiang He’s gaze were drawn to the immortal crystals in the Spatial Rings.
These immortals who fought at the celestial battlefields were not poor, and even the least affluent Spatial Ring held almost a thousand immortal crystal, while the True Immortal’s Spatial Ring had almost ten thousand.
“If a True Immortal has almost ten thousand immortal crystals, that old Golden Immortal Fox would probably have been richer!”
Jiang He immediately felt agony in his flesh at the thought and slapped the Daemon Fox on the head even as he recovered his immortal body, barking, “Why are you dallying, dog? When are you going to finish rebuilding your body?”
“Give me all your immortal crystals. I’ll give you up to five thousand immortal crystals in return to let you rebuild your body, and I assure you that you could recover your peak powers at any moment.”
After piling every immortal crystal together, Jiang He counted eighteen thousand immortal crystals.
“Jackpot! Jackpot!”
Jiang He laughed out loud as he collected all eighteen thousand immortal crystals, saying, “Stay here and keep an eye out. I’ll be going back to earth, but I’ll soon return.”
Beckoning to Hu Mei, he mounted her and streaked across the stars back to Earth.
With these immortal crystals, he could earn another load of Farm Points and use it reach True Immortal!

Meanwhile, in the Horned Dragon Star, the immortals stepped inside the portal.
