Lu Chen was momentarily stunned on the spot.

Yang Fei once hinted at plans to cooperate with a certain cultivation force in the Southern Domain. Based on the current situation, everyone in Lingxiao Sect knew that if Yang Fei sought cooperation in the Southern Domain's cultivation world, the greatest possibility was with Lingxiao Sect.

However, Lu Chen didn't expect Yang Fei would want to seek cooperation so quickly and even intended to have him negotiate with the upper echelons of Lingxiao Sect.

After a brief surprise, Lu Chen said, "Brother Yang, you want me to return to Lingxiao Sect in the Southern Domain?"

Yang Fei nodded and said, "Given the current situation, the cultivation world in the Southern Domain will only send more and more Foundation Establishment cultivators over. You know our situation—once too many Foundation Establishment cultivators come from the Southern Domain, we absolutely cannot defend White Jade City."

Lu Chen nodded silently; this was something everyone in Lingxiao Sect had already discussed with Yang Fei.

Although there are only three two-star sects in the southern part of the Southern Domain, and only three major cultivation families nearby, farther away there are numerous three-star sects and cultivation families, some of which can even rival two-star sects in heritage.

Compared to the vast cultivation world of the Southern Domain, Earth is indeed too insignificant.

Even if all the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the three two-star sects and three cultivation families of the Southern Domain came, it would pose a huge threat to Earth. With the current strength of Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, and others, even when counting the seven from Lingxiao Sect and the Mountain Protection Array of White Jade City, it couldn't be defended then.

If the top-grade spiritual ore resources of White Jade City were lost, the cultivators on Earth would find it even more difficult to grow.

What's more, even if the Foundation Establishment cultivators from several major cultivation forces in the southern part of the Southern Domain couldn't take down White Jade City, what if other sects and families from the Southern Domain joined?

As soon as the disciples of Flame Moon Sect, Great Dao Sect, and the Zhong, He, and Feng families' Foundation Establishment disciples suffer enough casualties, these forces will surely seek external assistance. At that time, if the news of Earth being a Cave Heaven Blessed Land spreads further, it will attract more cultivators to come. Then, hundreds or thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators will come to Earth Space, competing for opportunities and resources.

When that time comes, Earth's people won't be able to defend their homeland.

"Brother Yang, Daoist Qin, thank you for your trust in me." Lu Chen looked at the two and said, "But I really can't guarantee that after I return, I can secure a cooperation opportunity for you. For Lingxiao Sect, Brother Ye Wu and others and I are just basic disciples who joined a few decades ago. Above us, there are a dozen Core Formation Masters, Nascent Soul grandmasters, and even a Divinity Transformation Ancestor. My words carry little weight and I'm afraid it would even be difficult to meet the nascent soul elder."

Yang Fei frowned slightly and said, "If it was in the usual times, you'd indeed find it hard to meet those real high-level figures of Lingxiao Sect after returning. But the situation is different now; you're bringing back information about Earth Space, a big secret enough to change Lingxiao Sect's future. As long as the Genetic Liquid Medicine takes effect in your Southern Domain's cultivation world, it will certainly arouse the top-tier figures of your Lingxiao Sect.

Qin Yanyang also nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you take the Genetic Liquid Medicine back, your sect's high-level leaders will surely take notice."

Lu Chen smiled bitterly, "I understand that too. It's just that you may not really know how those powerful figures in the cultivation world think and act. Once this Genetic Liquid Medicine is taken back letting people without spirit roots manifest spirit roots, or letting disciples with ordinary spirit roots enhance their spirit root talent and aptitude, sect leaders would definitely go to any lengths to obtain the formula and then kill all others who know it."

Yang Fei said, "We anticipated that long ago. It's like a prized possession inviting trouble; in the cutthroat world of cultivation, who wouldn't want to monopolize such a treasure? But have you forgotten? The transmission channel has limitations, and your Lingxiao Sect's powerful figures can't get through."

Lu Chen reminded, "I know, but have you considered that right now those truly formidable leaders of the sect are not particularly focused on Earth. But once they find out that something like the Genetic Liquid Medicine exists, I fear that even Divinity Transformation Ancestors would mobilize, bringing such level of powerful individuals to personally expand the transmission channel; I fear this limitation would soon be lifted. Once Core Formation Masters can come over, there's no one on Earth currently who can stop them."

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang's hearts tightened.

In fact, this situation was something that the two, when discussing with other senior experts on Earth, had also contemplated.

Qin Yanyang asked, "If a Divinity Transformation expert personally took action, is there a chance to expand the restrictions of the transmission channel?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes. In the cultivation world, situations of new Cave Heaven Blessed Lands are quite common. When a new plane space emerges, the cultivation world will slowly explore and excavate it. The Heavenly Dao imposes protective restrictions on these fragile plane worlds, so transmission channels at the beginning would restrict high-level cultivators from traveling.

Thus, every new plane world's emergence often results in many loss for qi refinement or foundation establishment disciples of the cultivation sects.

Once these losses become too large, surpassing the tolerance limits of major sects and cultivation families, their leaders will assess the situation based on this unknown plane's resource storage situation, weighing the pros and cons.

If the cultivation resources in this plane are not abundant, then everyone might give up exploration. But if there are rich resources inside, or inheritance treasures, it will attract the interest of top leaders, and various forces will dispatch top individuals, spending time to expand the transmission channel."

Qin Yanyang nodded and said, "The Genetic Liquid Medicine is extremely rare and precious, so once your Lingxiao Sect's upper echelons know of its existence, they'll spare no cost to expand the transmission channel here?"

"Yes."

Lu Chen said, "Let alone the existence of the Genetic Liquid Medicine, even just White Jade City's top-grade spiritual ore, the forces of the Southern Domain's cultivation forces would go crazy over it."

He paused to remind, "So I think this matter could be delayed a bit; with your two's spirit root talents, maybe after waiting a while, you two could make another breakthrough?"

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang both furrowed their brows, falling into deep thought.

After a moment, Yang Fei smiled bitterly, "Brother Lu, as you all mentioned, for Foundation Establishment to successfully form the Core, it requires the assistance of Chao Yuan Pill, Gathering Peak Pill, Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pill, and True Essence Pill, among other precious elixirs. But we're not sure if Earth even has the materials for these elixirs, and even if it does, we don't have the formula, nor an alchemist capable of refining these pills."

Lu Chen fell silent again.

Indeed.

The rich resources currently known on Earth are only the top-grade Spirit Mine of White Jade City. As to other cultivation-related resources, they still haven't been truly investigated and explored, everything remains unknown.

Moreover, Yang Fei is right—even if other resources are abundant, there are currently no capable alchemists on Earth, so it's simply impossible for Foundation Establishment cultivators to reach the Core Formation.

Yang Fei continued, "Not to mention the matter of forming the Core, just talking about the Foundation Establishment, there are still quite a few people on our side who have reached the condition for it. But without the Foundation Establishment Pill, Wang Chunfeng has already failed, which has caused others who might reach Foundation Establishment to feel fearful and not dare to try rashly. As a result, it's difficult even for the Earth cultivation world to develop Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Qin Yanyang nodded and said, "Yes, so for the long-term development of Earth's cultivation world, we must seek cooperation with the vast cultivation world forces soon."

Lu Chen took a deep breath and looked at the two, "Is this really your decision?"

"It's decided." Yang Fei solemnly said to Lu Chen, "So we entrust you, Brother Lu."
