CHAPTER 694: CHAPTER 263: THE STRONGEST OF THE FEDERATION, BITTER SEA (PART 2)

One could say that his combat power on the Mu Family Ancestor Star differs by at least one to two ranks compared to when he’s not on it.

But he couldn’t always carry the burden of fighting for the Mu Family Ancestor Star. The external home ground can only serve as the foundation of the clan. For martial artists, the real home ground is the Heaven and Earth Dojo, and more importantly, the place where one stands.

And merging with Heaven and Earth, transforming the planet with one’s own Life Force Field, this intertwining process can allow him to comprehend many Cosmic Mysteries.

For the condensation of the Heaven and Earth Dojo, the development of the Inner Heaven, and even the sorting of one’s own martial arts, all are greatly beneficial.

"East Three Bright Star?" Meng Qianyun slightly tilted his head, seeming to remember something, and said, "This planet is actually quite special."

Ji Jingqiu couldn’t help but focus his gaze.

East Three Bright Star is naturally special. As the birthplace of Marshal Mu and Marshal Ji, it was once the central area of the Federation, but eventually became a marginal area step by step.

Meng Qianyun thought for a moment, then said, "You’ve been to the Ancestor Stars of the six great families, what do you think?"

Ji Jingqiu, possessing remarkable wisdom, instantly understood what Meng Qianyun was trying to convey, and couldn’t help but question:

"Uncle Meng, are you saying that East Three Bright Star and the Ancestor Stars of the six great families alike have undergone transformations by the Six Marshals?"

Why are the Ancestor Stars of the six great families transcendent?

Because each Marshal once took part in altering their Ancestor Star, and in future generations, it wasn’t uncommon for Heavenly Persons to make breakthroughs on these stars.

Whether it was during the breakthrough of Fetal Breathing, merging with and integrating into Heaven and Earth, or transforming the planet using the Heaven and Earth Dojo, was a significant supplement for the planet.

According to what Sir Mu said, Marshal Mu had modified the Mu Family Ancestor Star multiple times in the past.

And after generations of accumulation, the foundation to evolve one world within the planet now exists.

With this foundation, as long as someone from the Mu Family attains the Heavenly Person Third Tier, a gap in the Grandmaster level would barely occur.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly shook his head and said, "I condensed my Holy Embryo on East Three Bright Star, but I didn’t feel anything special. On the contrary, the ’Planet Will’ of East Three Bright Star is exceptionally weak."

It’s been unknown how many years since a Heavenly Human Martial Artist came from East Three Bright Star, and even those who did in the early years often moved to central areas, not to mention any subsequent transformations.

"Weak?" Meng Qianyun said with some surprise, "According to the ancestor’s message, East Three Bright Star wasn’t supposed to have a Planet Will, was another one born?"

Ji Jingqiu was also a bit surprised.

Did his understanding contrary to what Uncle Meng intended to convey?

Meng Qianyun explained: "The ancestor visited East Three Bright Star back then, as it is after all the homeland of Marshal He and Master Ji. Later, unexpectedly, it was discovered that East Three Bright Star actually didn’t have a Planet Will, which was quite common. We usually refer to it as a ’Dead Star,’ but East Three Bright Star isn’t a Dead Star."

"Dead Star?" Ji Jingqiu murmured.

This could indeed be said, the decline of East Three Bright Star is also due to the progressively desolate environment.

To this day, East Three Bright Star has been removed from the Federation’s naturally habitable star list.

Now, only a few ecological urban areas remain where people can live. As for the areas outside the urban circle, they have long been unsuitable for ordinary people to live in, even breathing is problematic.

Ji Jingqiu’s return this time is to use his own Life Force Field to transform the planet, restoring the environment of these stars to their former glory and bringing back the scene of a vibrant prosperity.

For him, this would be a rare practice, known in Federation Martial Arts as [Heaven Opening].

In ancient planetary times, such actions, if spread, would probably evolve into the legend of "Heaven and Earth Creation."

"The ancestor believed that the Planet Will of East Three Bright Star might have been taken away by Marshal Ji or Marshal He. Normally, life planets possess a Planet Will."

Meng Qianyun said, "If you are going to perform ’Heaven Opening’ on East Three Bright Star, there will be pros and cons, it’s up to you to decide."

Ji Jingqiu nodded, but his mind had already flown to East Three Bright Star.

If Marshal He and Marshal Ji had both altered East Three Bright Star, then even after thousands of years, there might still be remnants of their actions and imprints on the planet.

This could perhaps be an unexpected gain.

The martial exchange between the two lasted a very long time, so long that Snow Ancestor coiled itself up and began yawning.

Under Meng Qianyun’s invitation, Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged inside the house, with spirit Divine Traveling Heaven and Earth, communicating with the will of this star, witnessing the blade traces left by the Supreme Grandmaster Meng Pingchuan in the past.

They were blade traces, and also Dao Traces.

Magnificent and majestic.

"By the way, be cautious of the Wanwu Association."

Before parting.

Meng Qianyun suddenly reminded him, "Not long ago, the Vice President of the Wanwu Association, Zuo Qingyou, came to find me, trying to recruit me into the association."

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

Before parting, Snow Ancestor waved its tail at him, urging him to take good care of his sister. If anything happens, he can contact it through Meng Qianyun, and it will make time amidst its busy schedule to help him with revenge.

On the way back, Ji Jingqiu sent a message to the War Control Department, inquiring about the Wanwu Association.

He originally wasn’t very concerned about this organization.

But now, it seems the Wanwu Association is obviously restless, an instability factor.

Recruiting Meng Qianyun isn’t just recruiting the Meng Family, it’s recruiting Snow Ancestor.

This raises a question, literature has no first, martial arts no second, who is the current strongest in the Federation?

Is it the hidden strong one in the six great families who never made it to the Heavenly Person List?

Or the Army Commander who stands high at the fifteenth position on the Heavenly Person List?

Or perhaps Ji Jingqiu, who recently swept through the West and is supported by the Divine Weapon?

All wrong!

The current strongest in the Federation is Snow Ancestor, who has been staying on Pingchuan Star for thousands of years without moving an inch!
