Chapter 271 Display
The Fang Family needed time to pack.
Alkaid took Fang Yueming and a handful of the Fang Family's elite, boarded the Void Disk, and headed straight for the Cloudsoar Sword Sect.
It wasn't until he set foot on the Void Disk that Fang Yueming realized the forces behind Alkaid and the others were not any major power.
Looking at their manner...
They must have just migrated from neighboring Great Worlds.@@@@
However, upon learning this, Fang Yueming was even more delighted.
Forces that had migrated from the outside were extremely common on Northern Sea Star, and being unfamiliar with life there, they indeed often opted to recruit some local powers.
Although most are simply fortunate ordinary forces that avoided the outer space pirates, quite weak with the strongest among them merely self-proclaimed Divinity Transformers, whose real combat power wasn't even comparable to Cultivators of the Sunburst Golden Core.
But the force they were now serving was clearly extremely powerful.
One could see a thing or two from how they didn't even consider the Cloudsoar Sword Sect, which even had Cultivators with Blazing White Golden Cores, worth mentioning.
If the Fang Family could seize this opportunity...
The future would surely see them soar sky-high.
Not to mention cultivating to Constant Light, even condensing a Crimson Red Golden Core wasn't a pipe dream.
With long periods of accumulation, once they cultivated a Crimson Red Golden Core under sixty years of age and had them join a top power, the Fang Family would complete a class jump in one fell swoop.
After all, once one cultivated a Crimson Red Golden Core and joined those top powers, they could assume the identity of disciples from those forces.
With this gimmick, they would have to be given a wide berth by anyone who encounters them.
They would truly break away from the bottom layers of Northern Sea Star, acquiring a bit of presentable identity, no longer the minor force that others couldn't even be bothered to remember the name after being annihilated.
...
The Void Disk traversed space, passing by quite a few town powers along the way.
Compared to Ancient City, these towns weren't small, usually comprising one practitioner family or several forming a pact for warmth and survival.
As they flew, Fang Yueming provided insightful introductions along the way, "The Cloud River mountain range stretches across 300,000 miles, its area as large as several states of the Dashang Immortal Dynasty. However, many areas are rife with demons and anomalies spawned from the influence of Northern Sea Star, lethal zones where mutations occur, leaving only the eastern, southern, and western regions available for habitation, totaling 103 cities with Cultivators ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 in each, and an overall population of around 4 million Cultivators..."
Alkaid listened quietly.
He knew that the Cultivators mentioned by Fang Yueming referred to those who had succeeded in Foundation Establishment.
The population without Foundation Establishment, excluding special forces like the Six Sect of the Demonic Dao, were not included in the count by other organizations.
The reason why special forces like the Six Sect of the Demonic Dao counted the commoners...
Mainly because they were needed for refining artifacts such as the Myriad Souls Banner, Blood Demon Banner, and others.
It was also seen as a valuable resource.
Many bandits atttacked cities and plundered lands precisely to kill commoners, collect souls, or capture and sell people.
Because a great war between immortals and demons broke out 300 years ago that has only just managed to conclude, the Demon Path forces were compelled to shrink their territories. With fewer people in their domains, the price of practice materials like the Myriad Souls Pearl had risen to 10,000 Spirit Stones.
This made many Demon Path Cultivators complain that they couldn't afford them.

The major powers had long anticipated this phenomenon, supporting forces outside of Northern Sea Star, plundering population from neighboring Great Worlds to obtain practice resources.
The war between the Moon Demon Empire and the Cangwu Great World erupted under these circumstances.
"Humans..."
Alkaid thought silently to himself.
In the instant the formation collapsed, countless elders of the Cloudsoar Sword Sect who were maintaining the formation vomited blood, and numerous areas serving as the foundation for the formation crumbled to pieces.
The slight cunning in the eyes of Long Wuyin, who was within the formation, was immediately replaced by utter despair.
"Hollow Void!"
Originally, he had considered that if the attacker possessed mediocre strength, or even if they were evenly matched, he would be willing to risk the annihilation of the entire Cloudsoar Sword Sect in order to seize the extraordinary artifact that adversary carried.
But now, with Li Hanqiu's opening move, that terrifying power which should not exist at the current stage, crushed all his hopes in an instant.
Amidst a chorus of horrified and desperate screams, this Blazing White Golden Core had not the slightest courage to confront Li Hanqiu further and turned into a sword light, fleeing at full speed into the distance as the formation broke apart.
Sect? Comrades? Kin?
He disregarded them all!
At this moment, all he wanted was to get as far away from this Hollow Void being as possible.
Even as he fled through sword control, a bloody red hue emerged on him, apparently using some forbidden Escape Skill in a desperate flight.
But it was in vain...
The gap was too wide.
In front of a Hollow Void, let alone a Blazing White Golden Core, even the top Deep Blue Golden Core-level True Transmissions from the Ten Great Immortal Paths would struggle to reverse the situation.
Anyone who could preserve their life against a true Hollow Void would be celebrated as a once-in-a-millennium peerless genius.
In such a situation, Li Hanqiu, without even moving, transmitted a mighty Gravity akin to the Chaos Void directly onto Long Wuyin through his manipulation of the Void Force.
Then, he tore through the air...
"No! Spare my life... Cloudsoar Sword Sect's members are at your service to the True Immortal..."
The panicked screams came from the mouth of the Supreme Elder.
The next moment, his entire being twisted and pulverized under the Gravity that rivalled the Chaos Void Level.
Even as his Blazing White Golden Core burst forth a dazzling radiance at the last moment, attempting to shake off the horrific Gravity, the high temperatures and intense light were still unable to break free from the Gravity's clutches and were rapidly engulfed by the Chaos Void's power after a brief flicker.
He died instantly.
The escaping waves of Gravity spread out far and wide, lifting the soil and trees for hundreds of miles straight off the ground and into the void.
The atmosphere in the sky and the omnipresent Spiritual Power were drawn into a vast vortex by the "Gravity", seemingly altering the climate for hundreds of miles around.
However, all these changes were extinguished and turned to nothingness by the high temperatures and radiant light formed from Long Wuyin's Golden Core detonation.
An empty void hundreds of miles in diameter formed in the firmament.
Considering that the Nine Cauldrons Sect still needed to temporarily occupy the site of the Cloudsoar Sword Sect, Li Hanqiu did not let this combat force continue to dissipate.
With the insane contraction of Gravity, the power from the Blazing White Golden Core's explosion was condensed by the Chaos Void force into a single white point, which was ultimately compressed until it completely extinguished.
He even controlled his power to prevent the complete devouring of the entire gates of the Cloudsoar Sword Sect.
"The power of the Hollow Void Level..."
Alkaid mused in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why the path of the War Immortal, despite its many flaws, has managed to persist on the Northern Sea Star.
The rise in combat power was too rapid.
A year ago, Li Hanqiu's cultivation was inferior to his, but now...
He was left far behind.
While Alkaid had some mental preparation, Fang Yueming, witnessing the Hollow Void Level power unleashed by Li Hanqiu for the first time, had only one thought in his mind.
"I've found a treasure! The Fang Family... is going to prosper!"
