Li Yue quietly left, just as quietly as she had come.
Chen Xia quietly watched, but didn't stop her.
He actually didn't really like solitude.
But he didn't like parting either.
Especially the kind of parting where you would never see each other again.
Just as the saying goes...
Chen Xia suddenly forgot what saying it was, anyway it wasn't a good one, he rarely thought too hard about it, scratched his head, and looked quite satisfied at the currently "full of life" Dead Star Region.
All these dead stars were ones that Chen Xia had stolen...took from various places in the Star Region, and could be said to have gathered almost all the dead stars in the entire Star Region.
And there was a legend that when seven dead stars gathered together, it would be able to summon Chen Xia.
Hmm...
This legend was indeed one that Chen Xia had put out.
Moreover, there were more than just seven dead stars in the entire Dead Star Region, currently there were over a hundred.
Almost all the dead stars in the entire Star Region were here.
These were originally things no one wanted, yet Chen Xia didn't spend any effort at all to transport them back.
And naturally, when there were more dead stars in the Dead Star Region, another problem arose.
There were fewer dead stars outside.
So Chen Xia didn't have any more dead stars that he could transport back.
This wouldn't do.
He sat cross-legged on the largest dead star, tapped his head with his hand, and thought about what to do.
The number of dead stars in the entire Star Region was limited, but there were many Star Regions in the Great Heaven, and dead stars were still constantly increasing through transformations, so dead stars could be said to be unlimited.
What Chen Xia had to do now was to figure out how to get dead stars from other Star Regions.
What should he do?
He raised his head to look at the profound sky, feeling somewhat troubled.
Since the original White Emperor was able to cross Star Regions to come to Blue Sky Sword Sea to take the sword, then it proved that the barrier between Star Regions was not actually that deep.
After all, even an Immortal Sword could be taken away, let alone a few dead stars.
The problem was how Chen Xia would go to other Star Regions.
There were mentions of the techniques for crossing boundaries in Blue Sky Sword Sea, that upon reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm, one would barely be able to cross boundaries, but one's strength would be suppressed by Heaven and Earth, making it very uncomfortable.
Therefore, generally no one below the Quasi-Saint Realm would cross borders to go to other Star Regions.
After reaching the Great Saint and Quasi-Emperor Realms, there would be no such restrictions, and one could easily cross boundaries.
But Chen Xia was obviously not a Quasi-Emperor, he wasn't even a Quasi-Saint, so naturally crossing borders was out of the question.
Apart from crossing borders, there was another way to connect to other Star Regions.
Attraction.
Use the massive Dead Star Region to pull and imperceptibly shift nearby Star Regions' dead stars over.
Hmm...
Taking dead stars from the Dead Star Region shouldn't count as stealing right?
After all, these were things no one wanted.
Chen Xia thought this to himself, then began preparations for the attraction.
There were two key points.
First, the attractive force had to be great, which meant the Dead Star Region had to be large.
Chen Xia's Dead Star Region had gathered the power of the entire Star Region, so naturally there was no problem.
Second, he had to use a million Spirit Stones to create an array eye, embedded atop the entire Dead Star Region. The array eye was divided into three parts, and each part could connect to each other, separate but not joined, joined but not whole, although it was one array, it was like three arrays...
"Damn."
Chen Xia knocked his own head, really unable to wrap his mind around it. This was like just a moment ago it was still one plus one, then the next moment it was asking you what the meaning of life was.
In short, the requirements were very harsh.
A million Spirit Stones was still easy to say, Chen Xia could go out and borrow them. Borrow 10,000 Spirit Stones from each Sect, he would be done after a hundred Sects.
When it came to borrowing money, he had an unparalleled grasp of it.
If he had to describe it.
Even Great Emperors were not his match.
Although Great Emperors don't borrow money, they indeed couldn't compare to Chen Xia.
And Chen Xia's creed was, the borrowed Spirit Stones didn't necessarily have to be paid back with Spirit Stones, and didn't even necessarily have to be paid back at all.
One could only say he deserved his reputation.
Chen Xia stretched lazily, stood up from the dead star, flicked his hand and suddenly split open a path in the entire dead star. A hundred thousand dead souls knelt to one side, sending Chen Xia on his way.
And his purpose this time.
Was only to borrow money.
In the Realm.
Ever since looking into Chen Xia's matters, the more Wang Yangzi thought about it, the more he felt something was off. He felt that he should properly chat with Chen Xia.
It was just that when he went to Zhang Daoming's hut, he was told that Chen Xia had gone into secluded cultivation.
Wang Yangzi was also very helpless, clasping his hands behind his back as he chatted with Zhang Daoming.
"In your opinion, what kind of person is Chen Xia?"
Zhang Daoming excitedly replied to one side, "He's quite a nice person, just sometimes rushes into things when taking action."
Wang Yangzi's eye twitched. "Rushing into things is not good, it's easy to lead to conflicts."
"That's true." Zhang Daoming clapped his hands, unable to help but start talking.
"Chen Xia does indeed cause too many conflicts. When I first met him, he had already fought many battles, even with many formidable fellows."
"Later it got even more impressive. He borrowed 300,000 Spirit Stones, beat to death a core disciple of a Heavenly Genius, sat in jail for 500 years, after coming out he beat a Sect Elder again, then had irreconcilable differences with the Supreme Elder."
When Zhang Daoming spoke to this point, there was a proud smile on his face. He nodded and said,
"Although he fights, borrows money, kills fellow sect members, I know, he has always been a good cultivator."
Wang Yangzi opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say in response. Clasping his hands behind his back, he let out an awkward laugh to change the topic.
"Your medicinal field here looks quite good. How do you usually tend to it? How often do you use Spirit Medicine?"
"...Ah?" Zhang Daoming scratched his head, embarrassedly laughing, "This medicinal field is taken care of by Chen Xia. I guess no Spirit Medicine has been used before."
"Is that so..." Wang Yangzi was taken aback, then laughed again, "Then I guess fertilizer and water must be used right, truly an ancient medicinal field technique."
"Actually not." Zhang Daoming shook his head.
"Oh? Then how does it grow? Could it be some mystic art, or some wondrous technique I don't know about?" Wang Yangzi also became rather interested.
But Zhang Daoming still shook his head. He stepped forward, smiling, "Let me demonstrate it to you, it's very mystical."
Wang Yangzi watched with anticipation, wanting to see what method it was that even cultivators would find mystical.
Zhang Daoming stepped forward, standing right in front of the entire medicinal field. He cleared his throat, and shouted in an aged voice.
"If you don't grow faster, when Chen Xia comes back, your lives won't be spared ha!"
Right after he finished speaking, it seemed a brief moment passed, then the medicinal herbs visibly grew taller by a bit.
Zhang Daoming grinned, turning to ask Wang Yangzi,
"The medicinal herbs are very mystical right?"
Wang Yangzi's mouth hung slightly open, his eyes dazed. In his over 10,000 years of cultivation, he had never seen such an absurd matter.
Which place relies on threats to grow medicine?
How vicious must this Chen Xia be?
Able to make medicinal herbs grow just by hearing his voice?
