367: Chapter 367 The Movements of the Myriad Races' Army

Lin Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Are we just going to wait here and die?"

Gao Feng raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet. He said in a deep voice, "It's not waiting for death; it's preparing for war. Elder Ling Zhan's intention is for me to break through to the Golden Core Stage as soon as possible, while simultaneously integrating the major Sects of the Cultivation World to form an allied army. Although our Meteor War God Realm has few people, we can take the lead."

He paused, then continued, "I plan to go out and train on my own to find the opportunity for a Golden Core Breakthrough. You all will remain at the War God Pavilion, integrate resources, train the Disciples, and prepare for the allied army."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Luo Li said, "You're going out alone? Isn't that too dangerous?"

Gao Feng shook his head and said, "With more people, the target is larger. By myself, I can come and go freely and be more flexible. Furthermore, what I Cultivate is the War God Art, which requires me to find the opportunity for a Breakthrough between life and death. Closing oneself off to work behind closed doors will never make one a true expert."

Everyone was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. They knew that Gao Feng was right.

Chu Lan stood up and said, "Since you are leaving, we will prepare some things for you. Wait here."

She turned and left. The others also stood up one after another to prepare.

Three days later, everyone gathered in the main hall again.

Chu Lan was the first to step forward and handed Gao Feng a jade bottle. The jade bottle was crystal clear, and inside was a golden Medicinal Pill, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

"This is a Golden Core Barrier-Breaking Pill," Chu Lan said. "I refined it using the time spirit spring and several rare Spiritual Plants. It can help break through the Bottleneck when attempting to reach the Golden Core Stage. Although it cannot guarantee success, it can at least increase your chances by thirty percent."

Gao Feng took the jade bottle and said solemnly, "Thank you."

Luo Li stepped forward and handed him a Jade Slip. The Jade Slip was light purple throughout, with complex musical patterns carved onto it.

"This is the Delusion-Breaking Melody I composed for you," Luo Li said. "It is not for combat, but to assist in Cultivation. When your mind is unstable while attempting the Golden Core Stage, use your spiritual power to activate this Jade Slip. The melody will automatically play, helping you stabilize your mind and eliminate the Heart Demon."

Gao Feng accepted the Jade Slip and nodded gratefully.

Su Ning stepped forward and handed him a silver Talisman. The Talisman was covered with spatial formation patterns and emitted a faint silver light.

"This is a Space Positioning Talisman," Su Ning said. "If you encounter danger you cannot handle, crush it. It will instantly teleport you back to the Meteor Realm. Although the distance is limited, it can at least save your life. Remember, it can only be used once."

Gao Feng took the Talisman and carefully put it away.

Tian Xin stepped forward and handed him a golden Talisman. The Talisman was drawn with complex runes and emitted a warm, gentle light.

"This is a Body Protection Divine Talisman," Tian Xin said. "Wear it close to your body, and it will automatically trigger at a critical moment to block one fatal attack for you. It can even block a full-strength attack from a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator."

Gao Feng took the Talisman and solemnly tucked it into his robes.

Yao Guang stepped forward and handed him a jade bottle. Inside the jade bottle were three emerald green Medicinal Pills, emitting a rich aura of life.

"This is the Rejuvenation Golden Pill," Yao Guang said. "No matter how severe the injury, as long as you have a breath left, taking one will save your life. Three pills are enough for you to use three times."

Gao Feng took the jade bottle, looked deeply at Yao Guang, and said, "Thank you."

Lin Yue was the last to step forward and handed him a palm-sized Formation Plate. The Formation Plate was covered with complex formation patterns and emitted an earthy yellow light.

"This is a protective formation I specially made for you," Lin Yue said. "When needed, activate it with spiritual power, and it will set up a defensive formation around you that can withstand a full-strength attack from a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. Although it can only be used three times, it can save your life at a critical moment."

Gao Feng took the Formation Plate and looked at everyone. Looking at these familiar faces and seeing the deep concern and expectation in their eyes, an indescribable warmth surged in his heart.

"Thank you all," he said softly, his voice slightly choked with emotion, "I will definitely return alive, and I will definitely break through to the Golden Core Stage."

Luo Li stepped forward, gently took his hand, and said, "We will wait for you."

Su Ning also stepped forward and said, "Be careful."

Chu Lan grinned and said, "When you return, I will treat you with the best Spiritual Fruit."

Tian Xin rarely smiled, saying, "Don't die."

Yao Guang's eyes were slightly red as she said, "You must be safe."

Lin Yue patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, take care."

Gao Feng took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, then turned and strode toward the teleportation formation.

Everyone stood before the teleportation formation for a long time without leaving.

As silver light flickered, Gao Feng's figure appeared on a wasteland thirty thousand li west of the Meteor Realm.

This was the edge of the territory controlled by the Myriad Races. Continuing west would lead to the world that truly belonged to the Myriad Races. He looked back at the direction he had come from; there was the Meteor Realm, his home, and the place where his comrades were.

"Wait for my return," he murmured, then turned and strode westward.

He Sealed his own cultivation, suppressing his aura to around the Foundation Establishment Second Layer. In the world of the Myriad Races, such cultivation would neither attract the attention of experts nor lead to being bullied as an ant. He also changed into a plain gray robe, stowed the vajra sword into his personal space, and only hung a common long saber at his waist, disguising himself as a traveling Loose Cultivator.

The first stop was the territory of the Demonic Flame Clan.

The Demonic Flame Clan lived in a volcanic region. Their cities were built on magma and were shrouded in flames and smoke all day long. As soon as Gao Feng stepped into their territory, he felt a scorching heat rushing toward him. The aura contained a rich power of fire, which resonated subtly with the Demon Flame True Scripture he had obtained on the sixth floor of the Meteor Battle Tower.

He suppressed that resonance and disguised himself as a low-level Cultivator interested in the power of fire, blending into the Demonic Flame Clan's city.

The people of the Demonic Flame Clan were short-tempered by nature, worshipped strength, and respected the strong. Their way of Cultivation was extremely overbearing, directly absorbing the power of magma from beneath the ground to refine their Physical Body and spiritual power. After observing for a few days, Gao Feng discovered that their weakness lay in their mind—they relied too much on physical strength, leading to weak mental defenses, making them easily restrained by illusions and musical arts.

He also noticed that the interior of the Demonic Flame Clan was not unified. Different tribes often clashed over the contention for magma resources. Those small and medium-sized tribes had long-standing grievances against the ruling tribe, but dared not resist due to force.

Gao Feng quietly befriended a few Cultivators from small and medium-sized tribes and learned much intelligence about the Demonic Flame Clan from them. Those Cultivators also had complaints about the King of Ten Thousand Races' rule, believing that the Demonic Flame Clan received unfair treatment within the Alliance and were always sent to execute the most dangerous missions.

"One day, we will let those high and mighty guys know that we are not to be bullied," a young Demonic Flame Clan Cultivator said through gritted teeth.

Gao Feng silently noted these words, then quietly left.

The second stop was the territory of the Rock Demon Clan.

The Rock Demon Clan lived among the mountains, their cities built inside the mountains, blending with the rocks. The gravity here was several times that of the outside world, which ordinary Cultivators could not withstand at all. However, Gao Feng's Myriad Weight Hegemon Body had long since reached Major Achievement, so this gravity was like nothing to him.

The people of the Rock Demon Clan were calm and not good with words, but extremely stubborn. Their way of Cultivation was to refine the Physical Body using gravity, which had the same effect as Gao Feng's Myriad Weight Hegemon Body. He stayed here for half a month, observing the habits of the Rock Demon Clan while exchanging pointers on Body Refining techniques with them.

The weakness of the Rock Demon Clan was their slow movement; once entangled by a flexible and unpredictable enemy, they would fall into a passive position. However, they were also extremely tenacious, with astonishing defensive power; ordinary attacks could not break through their rock armor at all.

Gao Feng discovered that there were also contradictions within the Rock Demon Clan. There was a huge difference in philosophy between the ancient tribes living in the deep mountains and the young tribes closer to the Human Race territory. The ancient tribes advocated defending their ancestral lands and not engaging in disputes with the outside world, while the young tribes longed for expansion, wanting to gain a higher status within the Alliance.

"Those old stubborn fools don't understand anything!" a young Rock Demon Clan Cultivator complained. "Now is the time when the Human Race is declining. If we don't take this opportunity to expand, are we waiting for the Human Race to recover their Origin Qi and come hit us again?"

Gao Feng did not express an opinion, just listened silently.

The third stop was the territory of the Shadow Demon Clan.

The Shadow Demon Clan lived in the Shadow Realm, a world shrouded in darkness. Gao Feng had come here last time to help Tian Xin take revenge, so he was fairly familiar with this place. He put on the Dark Concealment Talisman given to him by Tian Xin, completely covering his aura, and quietly snuck in.

The Shadow Demon Clan was adept at concealment and assassination, and their way of Cultivation centered on the power of the Soul. Gao Feng stayed here for a month, carefully observing their habits and weaknesses. He discovered that although the Shadow Demon Clan was mysterious and unpredictable, their Physical Body was extremely fragile; once someone got close, they were easily killed.

He also noticed that there were many factions within the Shadow Demon Clan, engaging in intrigue against each other. Although Tian Xin's enemy, Shadow Venerable, was dead, there were still several experts of comparable strength secretly fighting for his territory and resources.

Gao Feng quietly contacted several Shadow Demon Clan Cultivators who were dissatisfied with Shadow Venerable and learned much intelligence about the upper echelons of the Shadow Demon Clan from them. Those Cultivators were also dissatisfied with the King of Ten Thousand Races' rule, believing that the Shadow Demon Clan was used as a pawn in the Alliance, and no one cared if they died.

"That fool Shadow, he died, and the higher-ups didn't even ask a single word," a Shadow Demon Clan Cultivator sneered. "In their eyes, we of the Shadow Demon Clan are just consumables."

Gao Feng silently noted these words.

The fourth stop was the territory of the Time Clan.

The Time Clan lived in the Time Secret Realm, a world where the flow of time was chaotic. Gao Feng had come here last time with Chu Lan and had a deep understanding of the dangers here. He snuck in cautiously, not daring to be even slightly careless.

The people of the Time Clan were mysterious, and their way of Cultivation centered on the power of time. Gao Feng stayed here for a month, carefully observing their habits and weaknesses.

He discovered that although the Time Clan could manipulate time, they themselves were also affected by the power of time. Staying in a place where the flow of time was too fast for a long time would accelerate the aging of their bodies; staying in a place where the flow of time was too slow for a long time would cause their Cultivation to stagnate.
