Chapter 449: Still Not Enough

After receiving the message from the leader of the Fragrant Trading House, Duke Farah felt puzzled. He could not understand why Marquises Moses, who had just completed his assigned task, would suddenly go to great lengths, even risking everything, to acquire these low-grade immortal ores.

He examined the materials list.

All were rare immortal ores, but their uses varied widely, seemingly lacking any common point.

However, he was preoccupied with the troubles of aligning loyalties and did not pay much attention to this matter.

Everyone has their own opportunities and secrets.

Based on his guess, Marquises Moses most likely reached an agreement with some race in the Tianling Star Cluster to help them acquire these materials.

Although it seemed a bit like colluding with external enemies, it wasn’t considered serious.

He simply instructed the Intelligence Organization to check into this when they had time, without dwelling on it.

Instead, he sent a guard to make a trip with the Space Stone.

Just as the leader of the Fragrant Trading House had surmised, acquiring materials at a hundredfold markup was something even he, the ruler of the Tianling Star Cluster, would not mind profiting from.

For over ten days, the Fragrant Trading House contacted various planets, reaching out to various strong figures who had connections with trading houses and had left their communication stone contact details, offering high prices to purchase various related materials.

Many Marquises also contacted Marquises Moses, sending people to deliver the materials to Fragrant Planet.

Holding a massive amount of resources and treasures, Marquises Moses readily traded them for treasures worth a hundred times their value, as agreed.

When the ten-day agreement period ended, Marquises Moses made another trip to the Fragrant Trading House to collect the related materials they had gathered.

Everything went smoothly.

However, just as Yi Chen had guessed, they still could not gather all the materials needed to forge the third generation of "Cave Paradise."

It wasn’t that the entire Undying Race of the Tianling System couldn’t collect these materials.

Instead, in a short period, neither Marquises Moses nor the Fragrant Trading House could reach all the strong figures.

Some strong figures who held such materials wouldn’t trade them because they had great uses themselves.

Even with a hundredfold premium, it couldn’t compare to creating treasures that could enhance their own power.

Especially for Insight Stones, which could help the strong more easily comprehend the principles of heaven and earth; those strong figures would never part with them for trade.

Ordinary resources and treasures could be collected slowly over time.

Yet, these extremely rare treasures cannot simply be gathered at will.

“Take care of everything on hand, then announce to the outside world that I will be in closed-door cultivation for a while.”

After checking the materials and confirming what was still missing, Yi Chen transmitted his message to Marquises Moses.

“Alright!”

Marquises Moses did not understand what Yi Chen wanted him to do, but he nodded readily.

Then, following Yi Chen’s instructions, he contacted his subordinates and arranged for all important matters, using his upcoming closed-door cultivation as an excuse.

“Master, everything has been arranged.”

Having handled all matters, he respectfully spoke up.

Yi Chen flew out of the flying treasure and used his divine consciousness to transmit the new materials list to Marquises Moses, instructing, “Let’s go to the Undying Planet in the Undying Star System to continue acquiring the remaining materials.”

"Okay, okay!"

Marquises Moses didn’t think twice and quickly agreed.

When he realized what he had just done, he thought to himself. His master wanted to go to the Undying Star System?

And he was going to the Undying Planet where the Undying King resided.

This was incredibly bold, almost like a sheep entering a tiger’s den.

But then he reassured himself.

This master, it was said, could miraculously leave the exile planet under the high-tech surveillance of the human federation.

Even upon arriving at the Undying Planet, he would surely be able to hide his movements.

That flying treasure which could mask perception abilities was the best proof of this.

"Do not resist, come in!"

Yi Chen took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers and infused it with immortal power.

Instantly, a powerful suction force swept towards Marquises Moses and his flying treasure.

Marquises Moses dared not resist and allowed himself to be drawn into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Once inside, he discovered that this powerful treasure held a hidden world.

Within it was a vast space, a small world where living beings could survive.

This was a powerful and magical treasure.

Whether it was the flying treasure that could block perception or this powerful artifact with its own little world inside, Marquises Moses felt that their value was immense, enough to make even the Undying King and Duke Bolai greedy for them.

Outside, Yi Chen retracted the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

He then took out the mini Space Vessel, set its position, and contacted Bai Ruo Xin to prepare the large battleship that would relocate the entire Shadow Clan.

The Tianling Star Cluster and the Undying Star System were neighbors, yet the term "neighbor" meant they were still separated by millions of light-years.

With just the Space Jump System of the mini Space Vessel, it would take at least a month or two to arrive.

To save time, they had to rely on the large battleship.

By the time Yi Chen returned to the blood-colored planet, the large battleship and the relevant crew were ready.

Yi Chen immediately boarded the large battleship.

The battleship began to accelerate continuously until it was free from the gravitational pull of surrounding planets, then proceeded to make a Space Jump.

In the next moment, they instantly entered the Undying Star System from the Tianling Star Cluster.

Yi Chen then released Marquises Moses from the Map of Mountains and Rivers and brought the large battleship, along with its crew, into the Map as well.

"Let’s go! To the Undying Star System."

Yi Chen called out to Marquises Moses, controlling the flying treasure to shrink down to the size of dust and settled above Marquises Moses’s head.

Marquises Moses was astounded.

He had come to realize that this strongest member of humanity had developed beyond what the human federation and various tribes had anticipated.

He even had a large battleship and the associated crew equipped.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled out the star chart to look at his position, confirming his location before heading toward the nearest life planet.

The Undying Planet was a life planet where the Undying King resided. With the Undying King engaged in a great battle against Duke Bolai, the surrounding area was under tight surveillance.

Hence, the jump point for the large battleship was several thousand light-years away from the Undying Planet.

They needed to travel from the nearby life planet through a spatial rift to reach the Undying Planet.

The Undying Planet was the center of wealth and power in the entire Undying Star System, where countless members of the Undying Race and even people from other tribes came and went.

Therefore, although the controls had tightened significantly, they merely confirmed the identity of Marquises Moses and collected the corresponding amount of immortal stones before allowing him through the spatial rift.

The flying treasure above Marquises Moses’s head was never detected, following along behind him as they passed through the spatial rift directly leading to the Undying Planet.

In the next second, it felt like a teleportation, and they instantly arrived at a spatial rift on the Undying Planet.

The entire surface area of the Undying Planet extended over a hundred billion square kilometers.

Although Yi Chen could easily cover the entire planet with his divine consciousness, he chose to avoid the area where the Undying King trained.

This was to prevent the Undying King, a strongest member, from sensing his divine consciousness and causing unnecessary trouble.
