Chapter 298: Heading to the Tianling Star Cluster
In the conference room, the generals were still discussing strategies.
After a lot of deliberation, they only came up with one solution.
That was to disclose some information to the mid-level and senior officers of the fleet, just as the Military had provided them with certain information.
First, they would reassure the mid and senior officers, allowing them to gradually suppress rumors and various speculations.
If they could not suppress them and the Soul Clan still posed a problem, they would then permit these mid and senior officers to share some information with the junior officers.
“Since everyone agrees, let’s confirm this plan. I will contact the Military Headquarters in the name of all the senior commanders of the battleship fleet to report this proposal,” Six-Star General Liang Moku summarized.
“At the same time, we can use this to put pressure on the military executives to reveal some information we don’t know.”
One general nodded and said, “It’s fine if we die here, but we can’t die in confusion! If the headquarters continues to conceal deeper information from us, I will request a redeployment and withdraw my military base.”
“Exactly!”
The generals present nodded in agreement.
Liang Moku then announced the meeting’s conclusion.
The virtual images of the generals gradually vanished.
Liang Moku also stood up and left the conference room.
The various equipment in the conference room powered down.
Taking this opportunity, Yi Chen controlled the flying treasure and followed Liang Moku out of the conference room.
He then made his way to a hatch on the flagship, waiting for the chance to leave the flagship.
Two hours later, he successfully exited the flagship.
Afterward, he steered the flying treasure out of the fleet’s scanning range.
He switched to the mini Space Vessel.
He opened the star chart of the star cluster.
On it, countless tiny stars appeared like specks of dust.
Among these stars, those shining brightly were all life planets.
The life planets controlled by different races had different colors of twinkling light.
Across the entire galaxy, including the exile planets controlled by the Great Flame Kingdom and those controlled by the Soul Clan, all life planets gleamed with silver-white light.
Even the surrounding star systems had many life planets glowing in silver-white light.
Yi Chen decisively set the position near a life planet in the Tianling Star Cluster and then issued a route-planning command to the intelligence.
This was the destination he had confirmed after obtaining the star chart and relevant information regarding the various tribes in Lin Yuehai’s office.
The Tianling Star Cluster is the farthest cluster from the galaxy and lies on the edge of the star cluster.
The most important point is that the Tianling Star Cluster is not ruled by any strong race, but rather consists of many small races.
Originally, it was controlled by the Undying Race from the Undying Star System.
However, as the Undying Race Duke rose to power, the internal strife within the Undying Race became severe. The Tianling Star Cluster, already chaotic due to its great distance and loose control, grew even more disordered.
Externally, the civil war within the Undying Race left little time to pay attention to the Tianling Star Cluster, and there was no strong race to impose control.
Internally, despite many factions under the long-term oppression of the Undying Race, none managed to stand out and unify the entire star cluster into a powerful race.
This situation was very suitable for the Great Flame Kingdom to develop.
After confirming the route, Yi Chen entered the flying treasure after issuing commands for intelligent operation to the intelligence.
He took out a batch of low-grade immortal stones and placed them beside him, cultivating while extracting fortune from the principles of heaven and earth.
At the same time, he also divided some attention to monitor the external situation with his divine consciousness, ready to respond to any sudden events.
Outside the mini Space Vessel, the stars shone brilliantly, resembling a beautiful painting, waiting for Yi Chen to explore and conquer.
Although this mini Space Vessel had the most advanced equipment, space and capacity were limited. Its performance was among the top in mini Space Vessels, but it fell drastically short compared to Large Battleships.
The distance for Space Jumps was also not comparable; the maximum Space Jump distance was only ten thousand light-years.
In a galaxy with a maximum diameter of only four to five thousand light-years, this mini Space Vessel could reach any point in the galaxy with just one Space Jump.
However, the entire star cluster had a maximum diameter of ten million light-years.
The distance from the galaxy to the Tianling system reached four hundred thousand light-years, requiring over four hundred Space Jumps to cross such a vast distance.
After each Space Jump, various procedures such as equipment checks, energy replenishment, and acceleration needed to be performed before the Space Jump technology could be used again.
Under the best conditions, it would take several hours.
In total, it would require nearly half a year to reach the destination, which undoubtedly meant a long journey for Yi Chen.
Fortunately, as he cultivated and drew fortune from the principles of heaven and earth, it was not lonely, even though he was alone.
Human Immortal Stage Four, Human Immortal Stage Five, Human Immortal Stage Six…
On the exile planet, the Great Flame Kingdom continued to expand rapidly, extending its influence, and Yi Chen’s additional talent bonus kept rising.
With the low-level immortal stones obtained from the two strong Three-Eyed Tribe members, Yi Chen had no shortage of suitable cultivation resources, allowing his realm to progress rapidly.
It had taken him three months to break through from Human Immortal Stage One to Stage Three.
However, he only needed two months to progress from Human Immortal Stage Three to Stage Eight.
Unfortunately, after reaching Human Immortal Stage Eight, the immortal stones obtained from the Two Three-Eyed Tribe members were nearly exhausted.
Yi Chen did not continue to cultivate.
Not only because medium to high-grade spirit stones required a lot of time to convert spirit energy into immortal power, but also because even the medium to high-grade spirit stones were running low.
He needed to keep some for emergencies.
Instead, he began to comprehend the principles of heaven and earth, deepening his understanding of the laws of space.
Three months later, his comprehension of the laws of space reached its peak for his current realm, and he began to work on constructing the law seals needed for the teleportation array.
…
On the exile planet, the Shadow King was somewhat dumbfounded.
The candidate for a future ally had disappeared!
For almost six months, Yi Chen, the potential future ally, had shown no signs of activity.
Feeling anxious, he made a trip to the exile planet to see what Yi Chen was really doing inside his flying treasure.
The cosmic storm zone posed no obstacle for him.
The energy shield created by the large Defense Systems was no challenge for the Shadow King, who was skilled in stealth and assassination, as he easily passed through.
Yi Chen’s first flying treasure on the exile planet also could not hide from his perception ability.
What he found astonishing was that inside the flying treasure, there was only a clone.
His perception ability swept across the entire exile planet and even covered the area of the large Defense Systems, but he could not find Yi Chen’s true self.
This future ally candidate had inexplicably escaped the control of the human federation after merely overcoming the Tribulation.
Crossing the energy shield of the large Defense Systems was easy, as was navigating through the cosmic storm zone.
If this future ally candidate lacked such ability, the Shadow King would have to lower his opinions of himself.
The real challenge was leaving the control of the human federation shortly after undergoing the Tribulation, especially given the scarce cultivation resources on the exile planet to elevate to a higher realm.
Incredible!
The Shadow King almost sought out Yi Chen’s clone to discuss an alliance, even contemplating becoming a subordinate willing to accept a slightly inferior status.
It was clear he was just too impressive.
If they did not secure an alliance soon, the value of the Shadow Clan would diminish in the eyes of this seemingly weak yet infinitely potential powerhouse.
As Yi Chen’s power and influence were still minimal and he had no allies, the sooner they formed an alliance, the better for the Shadow Clan to gain enough power and benefits.
Fortunately, he ultimately held back.
Even though he deviated from the original plan to confirm how Yi Chen would handle the pressure from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, tying the entire Shadow Clan to Yi Chen’s small ship as a sail in advance was not feasible.
At the very least, he needed to fully understand Yi Chen’s attitude towards the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and his character regarding allies and subordinates.
