Chapter 287: Encountering the Large Defense Systems
One day later, while Bai Ruo Xin stared in shock, a clone identical to Yi Chen took shape.
Even its aura was exactly the same.
"Is the Country Lord planning to infiltrate the human federation?"
It was only at this moment that Bai Ruo Xin fully understood what Yi Chen was planning.
Beside her, the Little Gold Ball remained calm.
Having witnessed Yi Chen condensing a clone once before, it had become accustomed to such occurrences.
"I must visit the human federation and find a way to gather more information, so I can devise a more detailed plan. Send me all the detailed information and data about the Revival Army through divine consciousness."
As Yi Chen instructed, he took out spirit pills for rapid recovery of spirit power and a vast number of spirit stones, sitting cross-legged to cultivate.
The clone that had formed drained all of his immortal power from the Qi Sea.
"Okay!"
Bai Ruo Xin had never asked Yi Chen about his plans, nor did she intend to now.
She responded decisively and organized all the information, then used her divine consciousness to send all the data about the Revival Army to Yi Chen.
"The clone has almost the same strength and realm as mine, except it has exhausted its spirit power and can’t replenish it. The energy shield around it can also block the scanner’s detection. If anything comes up, I’ll know on the other side…”
As Yi Chen recovered his immortal power, he introduced the clone.
"I know what to do now. I’ll take the Little Gold Ball hunting everywhere when I have time."
Understanding the details about the clone didn’t require any further instructions from Yi Chen; Bai Ruo Xin knew exactly how to handle the situation next.
She had to ensure that no one knew Yi Chen’s physical body had left, even creating the illusion that he was still inside the flying treasure.
This was crucial information; if leaked, Yi Chen’s plan would surely face the most frantic obstruction from the human federation.
There was a possibility that the entire population of the Great Flame Kingdom could be imprisoned by the human federation as hostages.
Yi Chen said no more and focused on restoring his immortal power.
Lacking high-quality spirit stones suitable for his current realm, or rather, immortal stones, his recovery speed was very slow.
It took him half a day to restore half of his power.
Yi Chen decided not to continue any further.
Half of his immortal power was enough for him to handle any unforeseen circumstances.
He could continue recovering on the way.
He immediately entered the second flying treasure.
Inside, the space was only about a hundred square meters and around five meters high.
With only himself inside, it felt spacious enough.
But if he were to practice, having to place vast amounts of spirit stones would make it seem a bit cramped.
With a thought, he infused a small amount of immortal power into the flying treasure.
The flying treasure burst out, speeding toward the sky.
Yi Chen’s divine consciousness continuously expanded.
Until it reached its limit, a radius of one thousand kilometers was within his sensory range.
Outside the atmosphere, a large battleship monitored the entire exile planet, and the results from its scanner showed nothing unusual.
No one knew that Yi Chen had already left the flying treasure.
He raced out of the atmosphere and entered the vast starry sky.
Yi Chen began to control the flying treasure, using the nearest star as a coordinate and charging forward at full speed.
His speed was rapid, reaching five hundred thousand kilometers per hour.
But in the boundless space, this speed was not particularly impressive.
According to the information provided by Bai Ruo Xin, the distance from the cosmic storm zone to the exile planet was 0.05 light-years.
0.05 light-years equated to nearly five hundred billion kilometers.
At this speed, the flying treasure would need over one hundred and ten years of non-stop travel in the right direction to reach its destination.
Additionally, the diameter of the cosmic storm zone also reached 0.05 light-years.
This meant that even just reaching the cosmic storm zone would take at least one hundred and fourteen years at the fastest.
If he could not find a large battleship of the human federation within the cosmic storm zone to mingle with and escape together, he would require more than two hundred years to cross the entire zone.
In terms of his current lifespan, two hundred years was nothing.
However, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the human federation clearly would not give him that much time.
He had no intention of spending such a long time crossing the cosmic storm zone.
Limited by the lack of better materials on the exile planet for refining the flying treasure,
he could not create a higher-grade flying treasure.
But he was Yi Chen.
If the materials were lacking, he had other ways to solve this problem.
And there was more than one way.
With his current strength realm, understanding of the laws of space, and similar grasp of the laws of fate and causality,
while he couldn’t say he had profound knowledge, at least he was at an elementary school level.
Moreover, having broken through to the Human Immortal Stage, with a deeper insight, he could be considered an advanced elementary student.
Creating skills to shorten distances or even tear space over short distances would not be difficult.
Constructing law seals concerning space and speed to create an acceleration formation within the flying treasure was also not a challenging task.
Yi Chen chose the latter.
The former would require a vast amount of time to create skills, while the latter needed a significant amount of time to construct the corresponding law seals, and both were nearly equal.
However, the former would create strong energy fluctuations when tearing space, posing the risk of detection by the battleship’s scanner.
In contrast, the latter was more secure.
Having determined the flying treasure’s flight direction, Yi Chen began to comprehend the corresponding powers of the laws.
In space, although there was no spirit energy, it was still constrained by the laws of heaven, enabling the sensing of the power of the laws.
"Eh…?"
As soon as he began, Yi Chen was surprised to discover an energy shield at the edge of his divine consciousness sensing range.
He immediately slowed the flying treasure’s speed.
Controlling the flying treasure, he slightly altered its direction.
His expression quickly turned grim.
Changing direction still revealed an energy shield.
Even after circling over ten thousand kilometers at full speed, he could not escape the energy shield’s blockade.
This is bad!
Yi Chen understood immediately.
The human federation had deployed a large defense system around the exile planet.
According to the information provided by Bai Ruo Xin, this large defense system was typically used for the ground defense of various life planets and important military bases.
It could form a massive energy shield around the entire planet.
The shield was so strong that even the strongest members of various tribes would need quite some time to break through it forcefully.
Moreover, this energy shield, like the defensive formation he created, had a bidirectional nature.
It could protect from the inside or outside, or even both simultaneously.
If this energy shield indeed came from the large defense system, with his current strength realm, he simply could not break through it forcefully.
And even if he could, it would mean the human federation would know he was attempting to leave the exile planet.
"How cunning!"
Yi Chen felt helpless.
With one misstep in his strategy, despite all his clever tactics, he had not lowered the human federation’s guard, leading them to place a large defense system around the exile planet.
Right now, he needed to solve this problem.
The first way was to have a clone pretend to search for a large battleship, forcing the Federation Military to shut down the energy shield.
The Federation Military certainly wouldn’t want him to know that the exile planet had been completely locked down.
Otherwise, it would mean a complete break, forcing him to resort to violence.
However, having his clone look for a large battleship might also provoke the human federation and make them take extreme actions to suppress him.
That would not be conducive to his plan to buy time.
The second method was to utilize his understanding of the laws of space to create a teleportation skill capable of crossing the energy shield.
While creating a teleportation skill wasn’t difficult, formulating one that could penetrate the energy shield was not so simple.
It would require a significant amount of time.
"What the heck?"
Just when he hesitated between the two plans, the energy shield suddenly vanished.
Yi Chen was slightly stunned.
Was his luck so good that even when he encountered trouble, he didn’t need to think of a solution? It just resolved itself naturally?
After a brief consideration, he didn’t control the flying treasure to rush through while the energy shield was gone.
Instead, he decisively controlled the flying treasure to head toward the direction of the satellites orbiting the exile planet.
