Chapter 127 - 127: Black Horn Nebula
“Hehe… Human cultivators, just wait. My Silver Moon Clan will flatten the Black Horn Star Nebula!”
Originally, Hongtian wanted to ask something, but the gray-skinned race that called themselves the Silver Moon Clan immediately extinguished his desire to inquire.
He turned to the group of normal humans instead.
“I am from the Daxia Celestial Sect, Hongtian, greetings to all fellow cultivators.”
“I am from the Red Earth Celestial Sect, Fang Yunlei, greetings to Hong Fellow Daoist.”
At this moment, if it weren’t for the disciples of the Daxia Celestial Sect surrounding these people, it would have looked like a gathering of two celestial sects.
Following Hongtian’s inquiries, Fang Yunlei also shared a lot of information.
After hearing it all, a broader world unfolded before Hongtian’s eyes.
Firstly, they were in a cosmic region known as the Black Horn Star Nebula.
The strongest presence here was the Black Horn Star, a top-tier grand world, just a step away from the Small Thousand Worlds.
Worlds were also classified into different levels: Nascent Worlds, Small Worlds, Grand Worlds, Small Thousand Worlds…
This made Hongtian realize that their Daxia World was nothing more than a Nascent World, the lowest-level existence.
This also made him understand why the sect’s rules dictated that they should act discreetly when they came out; they were just a Nascent-level planet, a
developing one.
Aside from this, there were other situations in the universe.
The universe was vast, and humanity was not the only race.
The Black Horn Star Nebula belonged to the human race, with other races occupying the surrounding regions, forming constellations.
The most prominent one was the Silver Moon Nebula, a region covered by the Silver Moon Clan.
Both of these nebulas were small star systems, about a thousand light-years in size, covering hundreds of inhabited planets and tens of thousands of barren planets, lifeless planets, and so on.
When planetary life entered the cosmos, they found themselves in an even larger jungle, still governed by the brutal laws of the jungle.
The law of the jungle: the weak are prey to the strong!
This held true whether within planets or outside of them.
In the universe, aside from their own kind, all other races were considered enemies!
Sometimes, even their own kind could be enemies.
The competition for resources in the universe was even fiercer.
No one was exempt.
Even if you wanted peaceful development, other races might not think the same way.
Plundering was always the theme of evolution.
Cultivation was the same.
If you didn’t plunder, you would only become the plundered.
Currently, the planet where Fang Yunlei and the others resided, Red Earth Star, was under attack by the Silver Moon Clan, and many humans on Red Earth Star were being slaughtered.
Red Earth Star was a Small World-level planet.
The Silver Moon Clan came from another Small World-level planet.
However, the Small World where the Silver Moon Clan originated was slightly stronger than Red Earth Star. Moreover, fighting on Red Earth Star was disadvantageous for Red Earth Star itself.
Regardless of whether they won or lost, it was Red Earth Star that suffered the damage.
After hearing all this, Hongtian, Zhang Hu, and the others gained a deeper understanding of the information within the universe.
But they couldn’t take everything at face value.
“Fang Fellow Daoist, I will perform soul-searching on these Silver Moon Clan members to ensure you’re not deceiving me.”
“Please go ahead, Hong Fellow Daoist.”
Hongtian nodded and proceeded to perform soul-searching on the Silver Moon Clan member who had spoken earlier.
Soon, he knew about thirty days’ worth of the person’s memories, which was the extent of his soul-searching abilities.
However, it was enough.
This person’s name was Yin Yue Changkong, and his memories showed the slaughter of humans on Red Earth Star.
They spared no one, including the elderly, the weak, women, and children. There was no reason to spare ordinary people; they had invaded this world and were prepared to destroy it, so why leave any survivors?
After the Silver Moon Clan arrived on Red Earth Star, they steadily advanced, absorbing the world’s essence and vitality. They killed anyone who obstructed them, including human cities.
As for the consciousness of the Red Earth Star’s celestial path, it had been put into a deep sleep using magical treasures from the moment the Silver Moon Clan arrived, preventing it from intervening in this matter.
Through soul-searching, Hongtian confirmed the truth of Fang Yunlei’s words.
After seeing the scenes of the Silver Moon Clan’s massacre of humans in the memories, Hongtian felt an unprecedented anger.
Before witnessing those scenes, he had only heard Fang Yunlei talk about how ruthless the Silver Moon Clan was, which didn’t have a profound impact on him. However, after seeing it for himself, he couldn’t help but want to exterminate these people.
Hongtian gradually calmed down.
Through this information, he also understood that the universe was the largest jungle, where the most brutal law of the jungle prevailed.
The weak could only become food for the strong!
There were no complicated reasons or explanations; it was the most basic, bloodthirsty rule.
“Hong Fellow Daoist, after confirming, I, on behalf of my junior brothers and sisters, thank you for your assistance and the assistance of the Daxia Celestial Sect.”
“This is a Foundation Establishment-level high-quality heritage-class spiritual object. It’s not particularly precious, but it’s something I can offer at the moment. I hope you won’t find it lacking.”
Fang Yunlei took out a spiritual object, and after Hongtian initially declined, he accepted it.
Then, Fang Yunlei and the others bid farewell and departed, leaving Red Earth Star behind.
Hongtian couldn’t say much more in the current situation; even with the power of the Daxia Celestial Sect, they couldn’t do much unless the sect leader personally intervened.
He didn’t know the strength of the sect leader either.
According to what Fang Yunlei had said and the information he had obtained through soul-searching, the most powerful individuals in both warring Small Worlds were Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Above the Golden Core stage were the Nascent Soul, and above the Nascent Soul was the Soul Projection stage.
Hongtian wanted to do something, but considering his current strength, he decided not to think too much about it.
If he really wanted to make a difference, he needed to focus on improving his own strength…
Without top-tier combat power, without high-end combat power, what could you achieve even with more people?
The entire Daxia Celestial Sect, in the past, had only been sending themselves to their deaths.
After realizing this, the anger that had been brewing inside Hongtian became stronger.
He needed to become stronger!
With powerful strength, he could change the things he couldn’t bear to witness!
Without sufficient strength, any ideas, any compassion, were meaningless!
Words alone wouldn’t make a difference.
Hongtian informed everyone of the information he had learned here.
At the same time, he relayed the news back to the Daxia Celestial Sect, reaching the ears of Gu Xiu.
The changes occurring here were beyond their ability to handle.
It had to be dealt with by the higher-ups.
Since a new world passage had opened here, people from the other side were bound to come sooner or later, and that was a problem.
Human cultivators coming over were one thing, but if it was the Silver Moon Clan, that was a matter to consider.
Although Fang Yunlei mentioned that the fissure in his world opened in an extremely remote location, such matters needed to be prepared for in advance.
Daxia Celestial Sect
At this moment, Gu Xiu also became aware of these matters. However, this was something he couldn’t handle.
So he immediately went to contact Su Yang..
