239: Chapter 229 Turning Point

Under the endless starlight.

A spaceship traveled amidst the shining stars.

At this time, the spaceship was not as hurried as it had been on the way there.

Instead, it appeared somewhat leisurely.

If it traveled at its original speed, it should have been able to return to the Vagada home star in three days.

However, Ji Yebai did not let Abraham do so.

This incident with the Giant Scorpion Civilization was inherently extraordinary.

The ability to limit the devilish aura to the genetic level, thereby preventing its spread...

Such methods were, frankly, quite appalling.

It was equivalent to compressing the impact energy of a nuclear explosion's instant into a single atom.

And specifically at the moment when the shockwave was at its strongest.

Those with such means would certainly not be conventional soldiers.

These people simply couldn't achieve this.

Coupled with that inexplicable feeling of being watched last time, Ji Yebai was already certain that this matter would not be so simple.

With the current information, Ji Yebai was in the light while the opponent was in the dark; regardless, Ji Yebai was somewhat at a disadvantage.

But Ji Yebai believed the opponent would definitely make a move.

Therefore, meeting all changes by remaining unchanged was the best course of action.

Ji Yebai told Abraham there was no rush, so the original three-day journey had been slowed down to ten days.

Ji Yebai believed the opponent would be more anxious than him.

Devilish aura—whether the opponent was human or a devil—as long as it was exposed here, or if the commotion was significant, the Cosmic Union would take action.

One must know that even the battlefield back then, which affected a large Star Domain and produced dozens of Devilish Gods, was eventually refined by the Cosmic Union by mobilizing a large number of Saint-level experts.

The current Universe was still the main battlefield of the Cosmic Union.

Devils could only create chaos and slaughter; they could not subvert the Cosmic Union.

At least not at this stage.

That was why...

Ji Yebai was so leisurely and not impatient.

I am in the light; the enemy is in the dark.

And the opponent cannot see the light.

Therefore, the one who should be anxious is the opponent, not me.

This situation was what is known as meeting all changes by remaining unchanged.

Time passed quickly.

Leisurely times are always brief.

Even as a Martial Artist in the Nirvana Realm, the time Ji Yebai could truly enjoy was very short.

Ji Yebai was mentally prepared for this when Abraham urgently knocked on his door.

"What's wrong?!"

Ji Yebai asked in a low voice.

"Lord Ji, something has happened!!!"

Abraham said urgently.

"A month ago, the High Priest suddenly left the temple and went missing! And just ten days ago, rumors were spreading across the entire Neili Star Sector Star Net that someone had discovered the fallen saint flower!"

fallen saint flower?!

Ji Yebai was stunned for a moment.

What is this?

Although Ji Yebai had spent many years in the library of the Dome Martial Arts Academy and had even read through the entire collection of the Blue Star Civilization's largest library...

...the Blue Star Civilization was, after all, a new member of the Cosmic Union.

Its history was only a mere three hundred years.

The knowledge it had collected was not much.

And even though Ji Yebai later learned some knowledge through the Star Net...

...much of that knowledge had been filtered.

Therefore, Ji Yebai really didn't know what this fallen saint flower was.

However...

fallen saint flower?!

The name itself sounded extremely extraordinary!

Abraham gave Ji Yebai a suspicious look, paused, and then explained, "The so-called fallen saint flower is a Law Flower that grows from the remains of a fallen Saint. This flower inherits fragments of the Laws the Saint held during their lifetime.

Therefore, consuming a fallen saint flower can increase the chances of stepping into the Saint Rank!"

"However, the probability of a fallen saint flower appearing is extremely rare, estimated to be less than one in ten thousand!"

"There are only about twenty thousand registered Saints in the Cosmic Union today, and fallen Saints are even rarer. One could say the probability of a fallen saint flower being born is beyond minuscule!"

"The last time a fallen saint flower appeared was tens of thousands of years ago. That time, it appeared in a large Star Domain, and the entire Star Domain rioted to fight for it, eventually even leading to a war between Saints!"

Hearing this.

Ji Yebai came to a realization.

He now had an understanding of the fallen saint flower.

But.

Then.

Ji Yebai's brow furrowed.

"The fallen saint flower appeared in the Neili Star Sector, and the only Saint who ever existed in the Neili Star Sector was the Saint of the Vagada Civilization who fell thousands of years ago."

"The fallen saint flower, the missing High Priest... are you saying that High Priest Che Yi is related to the fallen saint flower?"

Ji Yebai looked at Abraham and asked.

"The High Priest is the supreme ruler of our Vagada Civilization and has priority access to everything. I suspect he sensed the fallen saint flower in advance and left the temple directly!"

Abraham said immediately.

High Priest Che Yi had the highest priority, so it was normal for him to be the first to detect certain information from the Star Net.

Hearing this.

Ji Yebai nodded secretly.

This was highly probable.

"Since the fallen saint flower grows on the remains of a Saint, it would be normal for the High Priest, if he knew this, to head straight for the place where the Saint fell!"

Ji Yebai's thoughts raced as he spoke softly.

"Yes!"

Abraham's expression turned serious as he slowly uttered a name.

"Luan Kong Star Sector!!!"

Abraham's heart sank.

The situation in the Luan Kong Star Sector was quite terrible.

Even experts in the Transformation Stage could meet with disaster if they weren't careful.

A look of heaviness appeared in Abraham's eyes.

High Priest Che Yi was the person the Vagada Civilization pinned its greatest hopes on, carrying the expectations of billions.

If something were to happen to him in the Luan Kong Star Sector, the damage to the Vagada Civilization would be immense.

Moreover.

It had been nearly a month since High Priest Che Yi left the temple.

A month without a sound, and even the technology of the Vagada Civilization could not lock onto his position.

It could only place him within the Luan Kong Star Sector.

This made Abraham's expression even heavier.

"Rumors are circulating on the Star Net that someone found a spatial crack leading to a Small World, and the fallen saint flower was discovered within that Small World..."

"Small World?" Ji Yebai repeated.

He hadn't been online much lately, so he wasn't very clear on the situation.

"Yes, a Small World!"

Abraham's face was solemn.

"By integrating this information, I've basically concluded that this Small World is the internal space of that Astral Behemoth from back then!"

As a high-ranking official of the Vagada Civilization, Abraham had the authority to access many records.

He had studied the information regarding the Place of the Saint's Fall.

The Saint fell within the Astral Behemoth, using a supreme Divine Ability to perish along with the creature, thereby saving the Neili Star Sector and the Vagada Civilization.

"No, I must go to the Luan Kong Star Sector!"

Abraham suddenly became somewhat urgent.

If the High Priest had discovered the fallen saint flower in advance, the lack of any news after all this time would inevitably lead to wild speculation.

Moreover.

The news of the fallen saint flower was spreading extremely fast and was everywhere; clearly, someone was pushing it behind the scenes.

It might even be other Transformation Stage experts specifically trying to hinder the High Priest from obtaining the fallen saint flower.

The Neili Star Sector was, after all, a medium-sized Star Domain with many civilizations, so there were a number of Transformation Stage experts.

"Lord Ji, I want to go directly to that spatial crack connecting to the Small World. I wonder what your thoughts are?"

What Abraham could think of, Ji Yebai could naturally understand quite easily.

He didn't stop him.

Instead, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

It seemed this was the handiwork of the person in the dark!

With Ji Yebai's current strength, his sudden whims or Spiritual Sense were no less effective than precognition.

At that moment, he nodded in agreement.

Having obtained Ji Yebai's consent, Abraham immediately had the spaceship change course.

Then.

The spaceship, which had been leisurely traveling under the cosmic starlight for over ten days, instantly turned into a beam of light and sped away.
