Yi Jue followed Feng Jun’s gaze and also paused slightly, then asked, "Which one injured you?"

Although Feng Jun didn’t say it directly, she understood very well the obsession of cultivators. When they suffer a loss in some matter, the serious ones will seek to regain their dignity—regardless of the matter’s size, it’s just the pursuit of mental clarity.

She could even vaguely guess why he was so upset.

Feng Jun identified it for a moment, then said, "It’s the one with a slightly damaged wing, relatively larger."

Yi Jue’s Divine Sense swept over and caught the target—in outer space, using a bit of Divine Sense was not likely to be noticed by the other party, "This one is at the Golden Core High Stage; how do you plan to deal with it?"

"With a Paralysis Talisman," Feng Jun didn’t hide his embarrassment, "Ultimately, my cultivation level is limited. If I immobilize it, the Human Race warship should be able to take it out."

Sure enough, the grudge is deep-seated! Yi Jue immediately understood; she was quite familiar with his various methods, and the Paralysis Talisman was considered a trump card of his, yet he would use it in such a balanced battle!

Moreover, he wasn’t even pursuing any gains, just venting his anger, which showed how bottled up his frustration was.

Yi Jue wasn’t someone who liked to empathize with others, but seeing his persistence, she couldn’t help but gently suggest, "The Paralysis Talisman... maybe don’t use it, let me capture this guy for you, how about that?"

How about... it’s particularly embarrassing, isn’t it? Feng Jun pouted but felt embarrassed to refuse her goodwill—while mental clarity is certainly important, one shouldn’t become obsessed, "Then how do you plan to capture it?"

"This is simple," Yi Jue waved her hand and a ship cannon appeared out of thin air. She fiddled with it a bit, then said, "First hit it with a Divine Consciousness Spike, then shoot it away with a cannonball, beyond the ship’s detection range, just capture it directly, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem."

Feng Jun was dumbfounded to hear this, a Nascent Soul Peak had actually learned to use Human Race weapons effectively? "You learn quickly."

"Just use whatever is convenient," Yi Jue replied casually. She didn’t want to say that generally True Immortals were too lazy to do such things, they were used to using their own strength, and using other methods always felt awkward, "Just need to avoid the projectile’s trajectory revealing the position."

Feng Jun understood what this meant, so he performed two consecutive Blinks to leave Yi Jue.

Yi Jue charged forward over two hundred miles, her Divine Sense piercing directly into the Flying Centipede. Then, with a flash of fire, the cannonball was fired. She retracted the ship cannon, and in a flash, her figure disappeared, completing a series of actions as smoothly as flowing water.

The Golden Core centipede took a hit from the Divine Consciousness Spike, nearly bursting its brain—the Divine Sense attack of a Nascent Soul Peak was enough to turn it into an idiot. Yi Jue just didn’t want to waste her Divine Sense excessively, nor did she want to be detected by the Scout Ship, so she held back her strength.

The Scout Ship actually perceived this Divine Sense; however, it was so concentrated and incredibly fast that they couldn’t determine what happened, "Detected abnormal electromagnetic fluctuations... huh, is the equipment malfunctioning?"

"In space battles, occasional electromagnetic fluctuations are too normal," someone replied, "Just record it, but we must be on guard, maybe the equipment is aging."

Then, a cannonball sent the Flying Centipede rolling and flying away, the observers hurriedly looked towards the direction the cannonball came from, "Where did the friendly forces come from... are they trying to steal the credit?"

"Look, there’s no visible warship, it’s probably a stray shot, but its power is not small... let’s focus fire on this little one first."

"Huh? That centipede is gone... did it trigger a space rift?"

The next moment, Yi Jue was already beside Feng Jun, handing over a Storage Bag, "That fellow is inside."

Feng Jun waved his hand, "You keep it, I am not at ease until it’s dead. Since it’s already dead, it’s your spoils... by the way, I feel that operating like this can effectively reduce Spiritual Energy expenditure."

"Hmm?" Yi Jue was taken aback. Indeed, in this world, Spiritual Energy consumption is a major issue, and can only be replenished with Spirit Stones. However, before this, the value of the spoils was so high that everyone overlooked the cost.

Feng Jun spoke with seriousness, "The Energy Stones here do not adapt to the Tianqin Plane, so why not use more Energy Stones to save Spirit Stones? The battles in this world cannot be concluded in the short term; it’s very necessary to be cost-conscious."

Yi Jue blinked and thoughtfully nodded, "That does make sense, I’ll discuss this with the True Sages Fishing Old Man and Ren Tu later on... you’re digging Energy Stones for this reason, aren’t you?"

"Let’s just say it’s similar consideration, I didn’t expect you to even get hold of ship cannons," Feng Jun replied with a mixed feeling of amusement and helplessness, "My original intention was for that Last Dharma World, which also needs Energy Stones."

"Shush," Yi Jue made a hush gesture, "Let’s minimize this topic; we aren’t afraid of trouble, but we don’t like it either."

"Who’s causing you trouble?" A figure appeared out of nowhere—it was Sage Fishing Old Man, "Why were you mentioning me?"

This is the intuition of a True Sage. This is why casually speaking ill of a True Sage is actually very dangerous. Shortly after, a slight Divine Sense swept by. It was Sage Ren Tu who also sensed it. However, upon discovering the presence of Sage Fishing Old Man, he did not react.

Yi Jue briefly summarized the conversation between the two.

At first, the Fisherman Sage was somewhat indifferent because he did not care much about the human race weapons in this world, but as he listened, his expression grew serious.

By the end, he nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if it’s just the spiritual energy of one or two cultivators, it doesn’t really matter, but with so many cultivators together, and not for a short time like three or five years, conserving spiritual energy is very necessary."

Then he glanced at Feng Jun, "I don’t know if you can help me... forget it, can you take me to the entrance of the passage? I need to make some arrangements and increase the effort to search for and collect energy stones."

Originally, he wanted to ask Feng Jun to deliver a message, but in the end, he was not entirely at ease and felt that by personally overseeing things, the elders in the sect would take it more seriously.

"That’s not a problem," Feng Jun nodded, "By the way, we can also send back a batch of loot."

The Fisherman Sage acted swiftly, and in less than a day, various forces had each selected a person to send back the prey to the Insect Passage Entrance.

Feng Jun once again became a shuttle bus, transporting them to the location. The Fisherman Sage also hoped he would wait a day to bring everyone back to the star war site, which Feng Jun could only agree to.

The next day, Xuanhuang and Yuangang simultaneously announced a significant increase in the purchase price of energy stones and posted rewards for energy stone mines in various locations.

Some people, unaware of the situation, asked about the reason, and the two sects openly revealed the true purpose of buying energy stones—the exploration this time would be prolonged, and conserving spirit stones was very necessary.

In fact, there had been True Immortals pushing this matter before, and some bases at the passage entrance and the outskirts were already using the energy from energy stones—the conversion of this energy was not difficult for cultivators.

However, a True Immortal alone pushing this matter was somewhat insufficient, and it required a True Sage to voice it to completely raise everyone’s attention.

Thereafter, the returning True Immortals brought out the weapons of the human race in this world, which was a revelation to the cultivators—so energy stones extracted could also be used in this way on weapons?

Moreover, although these weapons were mortal objects, they were rare as they could threaten even Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages.

Regardless, the emergence of these weapons not only confirmed the existence of the human race in this world but also expanded the cultivators’ perspectives—so energy stones could be used like this.

However, soon, the True Sages from the two sects and several other True Sages jointly announced that the technological products of this world must not be spread, and anyone who did not heed the warning would face the joint strike of at least five True Sages.

Feng Jun was initially curious but later heard from Chen Xi True Immortal that it was mainly some Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages’ complaint, saying that if these weapons spread, mortals could pose a threat to them, so... this was inappropriate!

Some even extremely expressed: the human race developing these weapons was on the wrong path and should be obliterated as heretics!

After laboriously cultivating for hundreds or even thousands of years, a mortal could easily kill you by casually pulling a trigger or pressing a button, which was the greatest injustice in the world!

As for saying that once a cultivator becomes dust-free, they get a lifespan of five hundred years, while the richest or noblest of this world could only live to two hundred seventy or eighty years... such differences were ignored by cultivators.

This logic is not about right or wrong, but only about positions.

Fortunately, such extreme cultivators are the minority, most cultivators believe that how the human race in this world develops is the karma of this world, they may not agree with it, but interfering would be excessive...

So, many True Sages and True Immortals discussed and decided that human cultivators could use these technologies here, but they should not take them to Tianqin, which is also a respect for the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jun shook his head, thinking how skilled these people were at information monopoly.

As for whether he could take these weapons away, no one explicitly said anything, although he was currently the only cultivator who could freely enter and exit the Insect World, making it the most convenient for smuggling.

However, as he was about to take the Fisherman Sage away, he still asked, "My sect’s people are fond of studying mortal items, I wonder if it is convenient to take some weapons back?"

The Fisherman Sage looked at him deeply, then shook his head, "Just consider this question unheard... do you still want to hear the words ’can’ or ’allow’?"

Feng Jun understood his meaning: just don’t get caught, and do as you please, but if it really affects the cultivation world of Tianqin, then it can only be said sorry—this shakes the foundation of the cultivation world, and no one can plead for you!

So he nodded, "I will bring out mortal items that improve the quality of life, but others... would infringe on my interests. By the way, True Sage, I have another request."
