NOVEL WEB Chapter 336: Natural Formation
Feng Fan retrieved Little Brick from his space ring and placed it inside the White Crow Sect's array core. He had two goals here: to upgrade the defensive formation to tier 9 and to significantly increase the density of spiritual qi within the sect.
Although the previous enhancements had already raised the overall cultivation level of the sect considerably, it was still far from enough. Feng Fan intended to bring the entire sect with him into the Immortal Realm once he broke through, and their strength needed to rise accordingly, lest they bring shame upon themselves, or him, in a more demanding and powerful realm.
His Dao image manifested behind him, radiating profound might. Within a few hours, the protective formations surrounding the White Crow Sect had been successfully upgraded to tier 9. He had drawn heavily on the spiritual qi stored within Little Brick to reinforce the arrays and saturate the sect with dense spiritual qi, yet Little Brick still held a staggering amount of stored energy.
Ever since Feng Fan had struck it rich, the Suppression Relic within his space ring hadn't stopped absorbing and refining cultivation resources. It was no exaggeration to say that his current reserves were enough to create dozens of Transcending Tribulation experts.
After completing his work and feeling satisfied with the results, Feng Fan departed from the White Crow Sect, which still lay hidden beneath the earth. He preferred it that way and had no intention of raising it to the surface.
It didn't take him long to find the elders from the Intergalactic Council and Huang Xue waiting nearby, but they weren't alone. Standing beside Huang Xue were Su Xiaoli and Xue Qiang.
Su Xiaoli's eyes locked onto his, her expression cold. "Were you planning to leave without saying a word again?" A dangerous smile slowly formed on her face as she glanced at Xue Qiang. "Lady Qiang, I think we might need to lock up this bad husband of ours."
'Putting a leash on him would be even better…' she added inwardly, practically salivating at the thought, though she managed to keep that part to herself.
Feng Fan, who had involuntarily read her thoughts, shuddered. "Xiao'er, Qinqin!" he called out, wrapping them both in a warm embrace with a not-so-genuine smile plastered on his face. "What a coincidence! I was just about to invite you two on a little journey with me."
Su Xiaoli rolled her eyes. "As if anyone would believe that. If it weren't for Huang Xue, we probably wouldn't even know you were gone!"
Feng Fan shot Huang Xue a look, as if she had just betrayed him. She flushed slightly and averted her gaze, unable to meet his eyes. Feng Fan sighed and smiled bitterly.
"Well then, let's go. The Intergalactic Council is in peril, and we must help them as soon as possible!" Without waiting for an answer, he distanced himself from the group and boarded the waiting flying vessel.
Xue Feng, watching from the side, blinked in surprise at Feng Fan's sudden eagerness. 'So this is the power of women… they really can change a man's heart with ease.'
The elders from the Intergalactic Council, along with Huang Xue, Su Xiaoli, and Xue Qiang, followed closely behind Feng Fan. Once inside the flying vessel, Xue Feng cupped his hands respectfully and addressed him.
"Senior Feng, we're heading to the region of the Seven Planets. That's where the battle against the minions of the Four Demon Venerables has been raging for the past few thousand years. Currently, we control the Red, Orange, and Yellow planets. The enemy holds Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Most of the fighting happens on Green."
Feng Fan blinked. 'Who the hell names planets after rainbow colors? He almost laughed, but shook the thought away and nodded with a serious expression.'
"Where exactly do you want me to reinforce the arrays?"
"If possible, we'd like to bolster the defenses on the three planets we currently control. After that, we'd appreciate your help on the Green Planet. We have a few strongholds there, and if we could surround them with tier 9 arrays, it would be nearly impossible for the enemy to break through."
"Alright," Feng Fan said. "Since we're going there anyway, I don't see why I shouldn't handle all of them." Then, turning to the girls standing quietly to the side, he added with a faint smile, "And after that, we can enjoy the scenery on the Red, Orange, and Yellow planets. Sounds like a colorful little vacation."
A knowing smile tugged at Xue Feng's lips. He understood perfectly well who held the reins here and what they wanted. He wasn't foolish enough to neglect the desires of someone as powerful as Feng Fan, especially when his ladies were involved.
"Of course, Senior Feng! I'll personally arrange the finest tour the Seven Planets region has to offer for you and your ladies!" Xue Feng said with enthusiasm.
Su Xiaoli and Xue Qiang accepted his words as nothing less than expected, while Huang Xue's face turned crimson. She looked like she wanted to disappear behind her sleeves. 'H-H-His ladies...?'
Feng Fan chuckled to himself. 'This Xue Feng isn't bad at all.' Smart people who knew how to flatter him were always welcome in his book.
The flying vessel took the skies, leaving Red Pole far behind as it tore through the void with astonishing speed. Within minutes, they emerged on the other side of space, hovering silently in outer space.
From the deck, the view stretched wide and majestic—a cluster of seven planets floating in a precise circular formation, their orbits synchronized in a rhythm that felt majestic in Feng Fan's eyes.
Feng Fan stepped forward, his eyes widening as he took in the breathtaking sight. His breath caught in his throat, and for a moment, he said nothing; his gaze was completely consumed by the celestial configuration before him. His lips parted slightly as he whispered.
"This... this is a natural array formation."
"It's beyond tier 9…"
