Chapter 423: Cut off the tail to survive!

The Three Sages no longer stopped Leng Wuyan's participation, and the Holy Power fluctuations emanating from her body receded.

Li Xuanfeng also had no intention of joining forces with Leng Wuyan to pressure the Three Sages.

Firstly, once he displayed his strength and teamed up with Leng Wuyan, the three would inevitably join forces as well. Two against three currently offered no chance of victory, unless he achieved a Breakthrough, or Leng Wuyan recovered to her Peak.

Secondly, the chaotic fluctuations caused by a fight would undoubtedly create an Opportunity for Xinghe Ning to escape. Fighting at this moment would not only be of no benefit but could also allow Xinghe Ning to seize the chance to flee, which seemed entirely unprofitable.

Currently, the three of them considered him Leng Wuyan's little follower, completely disregarding a Cultivator who wasn't even a Half-Saint.

Whoosh!

Li Xuanfeng and Leng Wuyan simultaneously stepped into the Star Burial Ground. After exchanging glances, they distanced themselves and began to join the search party for Xinghe Ning.

"Heh heh!"

Seeing this scene, Saint Wanhuo sneered inwardly.

A Cultivator who wasn't even a Half-Saint also came to join the fun; he truly wanted to slap Li Xuanfeng to death.

However, if he really did slap Li Xuanfeng to death, Leng Wuyan would certainly be displeased, so he didn't act rashly. Xinghe Ning was the top priority. For this treasure, he could suppress his volatile temper.

If Xinghe Ning were found by this Cultivator who wasn't even a Half-Saint, he would certainly act immediately, without hesitation, to kill Li Xuanfeng and seize the treasure.

"He certainly has a good Physique, and this mysterious and noble temperament is unique. Taking him as a male concubine would indeed be good."

Saint Yunmiao glanced at Li Xuanfeng from afar and couldn't help but mutter to herself inwardly.

She had subconsciously assumed that Li Xuanfeng was Leng Wuyan's male consort.

A Cultivator's temperament is often deeply linked to their Physique. Li Xuanfeng possessed the Chaos Sword Body, naturally exuding a mysterious and noble aura.

His temperament and appearance alone were enough to attract the gaze of countless female Cultivators.

For instance, Saint Yunmiao at this moment was quite interested in Li Xuanfeng; he was exactly her type.

However, Li Xuanfeng was Leng Wuyan's male consort after all, so she could only temporarily dismiss this thought. Furthermore, searching for Xinghe Ning was the top priority right now.

Saint Xingwu paid no attention to Li Xuanfeng and Leng Wuyan, instead focusing on his own search for Xinghe Ning.

He had already simulated various possibilities in his mind: if he found it himself, he would certainly flee at full speed immediately to avoid being targeted for attack.

If someone else found it, he would undoubtedly act immediately to contend for it.

Xinghe Ning could heal injuries and temper the body. With a sufficient quantity, it could even reconstruct a Saint's body, greatly enhancing combat power. Even for a Saint in the Middle Stage, it was extremely precious, so no one was willing to miss out.

Leng Wuyan, Saint Wanhuo, Saint Xingwu, and Saint Yunmiao all released their Saint Domains and Divine Sense, searching for traces of Xinghe Ning inch by inch in the simplest and most effective way.

They then left Restriction marks in the searched areas to prevent Xinghe Ning from silently moving to an already searched place to hide. As the hiding range was continuously compressed, Xinghe Ning would eventually become a trapped beast, with nowhere to escape.

Unlike the four, Li Xuanfeng did not adopt a direct search method.

Instead, he remained in place, constantly changing directions, and occasionally falling into deep thought.

No one knew what he was doing. Aside from Leng Wuyan, who thought he was using some special method to find Xinghe Ning, the other three Sages paid no mind.

What methods could a Cultivator who hadn't even achieved a Breakthrough to the Half-Saint Realm possess?

The Sages' search efficiency was hundreds of times his; whether he searched or not had no impact on the outcome.

"A bit strange."

Li Xuanfeng, who had been constantly changing directions, stopped.

Although he did not have a Saint Domain, with the strength of his Soul, he could also use his Divine Sense to search inch by inch, just like Leng Wuyan and the others.

However, he had a better method, which was to leverage the power of the System.

Using the System to check the changes in the color of one's destiny was Li Xuanfeng's best reference for action.

It could not only help him avoid danger and great misfortune but also, to a certain extent, determine whether he could obtain an Opportunity.

Li Xuanfeng's Luck was the color of Chaos, representing an uncertain and mysterious state.

If he were to encounter danger next, the color would shift towards gray or even black.

However, in predicting Opportunities, the changes in the color of one's destiny would not be so sensitive.

For instance, the plain and unremarkable white Luck of mediocrity, the good blue Luck, the excellent orange Luck… the System's reaction to these types of Luck was not significant. Simply put, if Li Xuanfeng were to obtain some decent Opportunities next, the color of his destiny would not change as a result.

Only when encountering a very considerable and very precious Opportunity would the Chaos color of his destiny be tinged with a faint golden hue.

Li Xuanfeng could use this to determine whether he would receive a precious Opportunity next.

Xinghe Ning, for him at present, was definitely a precious Opportunity. Therefore, through this, he could use the System's power to determine the location of Xinghe Ning.

He continuously adjusted his direction, while also making decisions in his mind, to see which direction to search in order to find Xinghe Ning.

If the direction was correct, the Chaos destiny light would be tinged with a faint golden hue.

After continuous attempts, Li Xuanfeng discovered that choosing two completely different directions would both result in a golden hue.

That's why he found it somewhat strange.

"Is there another treasure besides Xinghe Ning?"

"Or is there another reason?"

Li Xuanfeng pondered inwardly.

Although puzzled, Li Xuanfeng still firmly chose one of the directions, because in that direction, the golden glow tinging the destiny light was much brighter. In comparison, the other one appeared relatively dim.

Whoosh!

Li Xuanfeng released his Divine Sense and, with a movement of his body, began to search rapidly.

Under the coverage of his Divine Sense, every detail was clear. Whether it was cosmic dust or various chaotic and intertwined cosmic energies, all presented clear shapes and脈絡紋路 under the observation of his Divine Sense.

Floating meteorites, withered remnant stars, hazy interstellar gases, howling cosmic particle streams… nothing escaped the detection of his Divine Sense. Li Xuanfeng advanced with a clear objective.

Saint Wanhuo, Saint Xingwu, and Saint Yunmiao, who noticed this scene, all frowned secretly, feeling as if Li Xuanfeng was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

This method of searching would undoubtedly overlook many areas, leaving space for Xinghe Ning to hide.

Whoosh!

Li Xuanfeng sped past, and a star emitting white light quickly entered his field of vision.

It was a white dwarf, the final evolutionary stage of a star. Whether in terms of volume or brightness, it was far inferior to young stars, but its density and gravity were astonishingly high.

The gravity of a white dwarf could reach 180,000 times that of the planet Li Xuanfeng was on before his Transmigration. If an ordinary person were to suddenly step onto this planet, they would be instantly crushed into a small ball, even their entire body's atoms would be crushed.

Of course, it was more likely that they would be instantly vaporized by the terrifying temperature on the surface of the white dwarf.

Such a terrifying celestial body, however, was merely a toy for a Saint.

Li Xuanfeng's Divine Sense enveloped this white dwarf, exploring its interior in a meticulous manner.

However, just as his Divine Sense was exploring, in an extremely distant direction, in an area that none of them had yet searched, energy fluctuations appeared without warning.

A starlight-brilliant object, like a miniature galaxy, emerged from a ruined planet and fled at superluminal speed, as if trying to rush out of the Star Burial Ground.

"Xinghe Ning!"

Saint Wanhuo, Saint Xingwu, and Saint Yunmiao discovered its trace almost simultaneously, decisively abandoning their search and pursuing it.

Xinghe Ning, like a miniature, brilliant galaxy, or a flowing, tiny stream reflecting specks of starlight, was full of mysterious spirituality.

This Xinghe Ning was only ten zhang long. Compared to the various floating meteorites and withered remnant stars in the vast starry sky, it was insignificantly small. However, once it appeared and fled, its presence was astonishingly large.

Leng Wuyan also did not hesitate, chasing after Xinghe Ning.

Four Sages acted simultaneously, it was a race to see whose speed was superior.

Saint Wanhuo, wreathed in various flames, moved at superluminal speed through his Saint Domain, leaving a long, thin line of fire that cut through the cold, desolate starry sky.

Saint Xingwu transformed into a beautiful, hazy mist, leaping rapidly through the Void Realm.

Saint Yunmiao's colorful robes scattered shimmering light, leaving a long trail like a comet in space.

Leng Wuyan unfurled a path of ice and frost beneath her feet. Cold Qi permeated, and snowflakes and ice crystals drifted down, carrying her away in an instant.

All four Sages pursued at speeds far exceeding the speed of light.

Only Li Xuanfeng remained motionless, his Divine Sense still enveloping the white dwarf.

Watching the direction Xinghe Ning fled, he was pensive. That direction was precisely the other direction that would tinge his destiny light with a golden glow, although this golden glow was relatively dim.

With Leng Wuyan helping with the pursuit, Li Xuanfeng was not in a hurry to act. Instead, he focused his attention on this white dwarf.

A power, extremely well-hidden but ultimately exposing a faint, weak fluctuation, came from within the white dwarf and was captured by Li Xuanfeng.

"So that's it!"

"Cutting off its tail to survive?"

Li Xuanfeng's eyes lit up, and a small curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
