478: Chapter 478 Origin Vein

Star Pavilion, Conference Hall.

“Absorbing civilization fragment? Didn't we try this method before? Is it feasible?” Du Zun asked after hearing Fei Qianqiu's words.

Chi Yan, who was beside him, said with a strange expression, “Little Brother Fang has only just broken through to the Tenth Rank. Can he withstand the power of the civilization fragment?”

Next to Du Zun sat a cold woman. She wore a grey and white loose robe, was tall and slender, estimated to be two meters in height, with long white hair cascading down. Her bangs covered one eye, revealing only a single white pupil.

Her name is White Fragrance, an elder of the Star Pavilion, and she can refine various elixirs, commonly known as an Alchemist.

Not only that, she is also a Tenth Rank expert!

Although her combat power might be the weakest among them, her status in the Star Pavilion is second only to Du Zun!

Fei Qianqiu looked at White Fragrance and asked with a smile, “White Fragrance, what do you think?”

White Fragrance said indifferently, “The Pavilion Master has already made a decision, hasn't he?”

Fei Qianqiu smiled, “You are still the smartest.”

Du Zun and Chi Yan looked at Fei Qianqiu.

The latter slowly said, “No matter what, this is the only way to suppress the rampaging civilization fragment now.”

Du Zun hesitated, “But, Fang Bai's identity…”

Fei Qianqiu said, “There's no need to doubt his identity. He is benevolent towards our Star Pavilion and bears no ill will. Moreover, if he truly harbored ulterior motives, the power of the civilization fragment is not something just anyone can absorb.”

Du Zun understood upon hearing this, “Master's words are reasonable.”

That's right, even if Fang Bai had other intentions, he was no match for his Master. Let alone his Master, Du Zun himself could purge him.

“I actually think Little Brother Fang is a good person and worth befriending. It's clear that he genuinely cares about Little Yi Mu. Besides, if he really wanted to harm Yi Mu, how could he expose his weaknesses to us?” Chi Yan interjected.

His impression of Fang Bai was quite good.

And the weaknesses he spoke of were naturally those humans.

Since Fang Bai dared to settle such a group of weak humans in the Star Pavilion, it proved that he had no ill intentions.

As for the civilization fragment? If you want to obtain that kind of power, you must first be able to endure its energy. One must know that even someone of Fei Qianqiu's realm would not dare to easily touch the power of the civilization fragment.

Du Zun nodded slightly upon hearing this, “Very well, as long as we can save Little Yi Mu, this risk is worth taking.”

Fei Qianqiu nodded, then said, “There's one more thing: Elaine has been captured by the Ni Yuan Tribe.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened.

“That idiot!” White Fragrance cursed through gritted teeth.

“Elaine doesn't know the true strength of the Ni Yuan Tribe. He thought that with the Scarlet God absent, he could shake the Ni Yuan Tribe with his own power, little did he know... what should we do now?” Chi Yan said gravely.

“If nothing unexpected happens, they will likely use Elaine to threaten us. However... we cannot easily compromise,” Fei Qianqiu said calmly.

“Are we... to abandon Elaine?” Du Zun asked hesitantly.

Everyone fell silent.

Aside from this choice, they seemed to have no other options.

Fei Qianqiu slowly stood up and said, “The Galaxy Assembly is imminent. They shouldn't be in such a hurry to act; that would only result in mutual destruction. Therefore, during this time, we must come up with a countermeasure.”

Everyone nodded; this was all they could do for now.

“Moreover... the Ni Yuan Tribe alone would not dare to declare war on our Star Pavilion. They must have allied with other forces. The target is very clear; I just don't know how many there are,” Fei Qianqiu's gaze fell into the distance, his eyes narrowing.

“Yao Mu Clan, Ice Demon Clan…”

Even if two or three forces joined forces against their Star Pavilion, they would struggle to resist!

After all, if that were truly the case, they would be facing several times their own number of enemies!

Fei Qianqiu suddenly said, “There's no time to lose; let's solve the civilization fragment problem first!”

“You all shall guard the Star Pavilion during this period. Those who dare to invade shall be killed without mercy!”

“Understood!”

...

Not long after Fang Bai emerged from the moon god ring, Fei Qianqiu found him.

Fei Qianqiu brought him to the main hall where Yi Mu was.

“We discussed it and decided to adopt your suggestion,” Fei Qianqiu looked at Fang Bai and said, “Let you absorb Yi Mu's power!”

Fang Bai's expression shifted, and he immediately said, “I will do my best.”

Fei Qianqiu said sternly, “Little fellow, I don't want your best; I want it to be resolved. Since you proposed this method, it must succeed. Otherwise, not only you and Yi Mu, but everyone in our Star Pavilion will die!”

Fang Bai fell silent, recalling the scene when he absorbed Yi Mu's essence blood. Then, he nodded seriously, “Alright!”

Fei Qianqiu suddenly said, “Before that, I want to ask you for a favor.”

Fang Bai quickly said, “Senior is too polite. I owe Senior a favor, so I naturally must repay it.”

Fei Qianqiu said, “Have you heard of the Galaxy Assembly?”

Fang Bai shook his head, “I haven't.”

Fei Qianqiu showed a hint of realization and said, “That's normal, I almost forgot you're from another civilization. The so-called Galaxy Assembly…”

He roughly explained the situation to Fang Bai.

“source vein!”

Fang Bai's eyes narrowed, “Is this the cultivation resource of this civilization? Senior, which is more precious, the source vein or the civilization fragment?”

Fei Qianqiu said, “The civilization fragment. The energy of the source vein is similar to the civilization fragment, but the civilization fragment condenses the purest primordial power.”

Fang Bai nodded, “I understand. Senior wants me to represent the Star Pavilion in this assembly, right?”

Fei Qianqiu nodded, “Precisely. The core of this assembly is to rank by martial prowess and compete for a share of the source vein!”

He said, “There have been similar grand events in the past. The stronger one is, the more source veins one can be allocated.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Bai glanced around, “Does the Star Pavilion possess a source vein?”

Fei Qianqiu nodded, “Naturally, but it's not a complete source vein; only half of a complete one.”

“Half a source vein—this is the foundation accumulated over hundreds of years.”

No wonder, no wonder the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is so dense.

It turns out it's due to the source vein.

Fang Bai suddenly became interested. If he put the source vein into the moon god ring, wouldn't he be able to create an excellent cultivation sanctuary?

“Senior's invitation, I accept.”

Fei Qianqiu's face showed a smile upon hearing this, “I thank you on behalf of the Star Pavilion. Actually, I originally planned to have Elaine participate, but now he is in grave danger, and we are short-handed. I have no choice but to ask you to take this risk. If you can contend for the source vein, I will also repay you.”

“No problem, no problem,” Fang Bai said with a grin.

No need to say, this source vein is a good thing! He must get it!

“There are still half a month until the Galaxy Assembly. Within this half month, you must complete the absorption of the civilization fragment! This is a very difficult task!” Fei Qianqiu rarely showed a hint of solemnity.

Fang Bai, however, grinned, “Time? I have a way!”
