Chapter 288 Investigation and Evidence Collection, Full of Heroic Spirit

Auspicious purple clouds gather from the east.

As the strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, a faint figure descended from the clouds above, and with a wave of his hand, a golden rope flew out of his sleeve like a swimming dragon.

Ye Yang was startled, but after he saw who it was, he did not resist and let the golden rope quickly bind him.

The previously amiable Lord Miaowu was now dressed in a black robe with white patterns, his face serious and even menacing.

"Celestial Alliance Star Official Robe—Wearing this robe signifies representing the will of the Celestial Alliance and exercising its authority!"

Ye Yang stared at Miao Wuxingjun, thinking to himself.

The Celestial Alliance Star Officials are the managers and executors of the Celestial Alliance's consultation and management of all the powerful beings and Dao lineages in the entire Milky Way galaxy.

It is further divided into three levels: Level 3 administrative officer, Level 2 leader, and Level 1 principal officer.

Each officer has their own scope of authority. For example, there are third-level star officers who are responsible for patrolling, inspecting, and investigating and arresting criminals, and third-level star officers who are responsible for the operation of public assets and the management and allocation of resources. They can only do what is within their own scope of authority and cannot overstep their boundaries.

Second-level commanders typically serve as regional governors or hold positions in the Star Conference of the Silver Core Star Region.

They have immense power and can intervene in many matters, especially when they hold the position of regional governor in a certain instance world. To some extent, they are all-powerful figures in their own jurisdiction!

In the main world, there are checks and balances for the second-level commanders in the galactic territory, but in the dungeon world, there are basically none.

The black robe with white patterns that this Mysterious Star Lord is wearing now is the symbol of a second-level commander!

Faced with such a wondrous star lord, even if Ye Yang had the power to resist, he could not, otherwise he would be disregarding the laws of the Immortal Alliance.

Of course, cultivators from minor lineages, or those who have truly risen from humble beginnings, will feel very uncomfortable and resist such rules, unwilling to tie their own hands.

That's because they don't have a powerful enough force behind them; the only thing that can make these grassroots cultivators feel safe is their own power.

They feel insecure without using this power.

However, Ye Yang was different. He had a sect behind him. Even though the Jili Dao lineage wasn't that powerful, he still had a powerful ancestor—the Jili True Monarch!

Ye Yang has already reached the point where he's almost graduating from the Enlightenment Program. He can be considered the only remaining member of the Dao lineage, and the Dao lineage and its founder will not allow him to be bullied by others.

Furthermore, Ye Yang possessed the ability to create clones, so he was quite confident and remained calm, allowing Miao Wuxingjun to control him.

"You actually managed to kill Kui Que?" Miao Wu Xing Jun was surrounded by spiritual clouds. He pulled Ye Yang in front of him while also letting Kui Que's body float beside him.

The tone of Miao Wuxingjun revealed neither surprise nor anger, only calmness, seriousness, and a faint coldness.

When dealing with Void Believers, the Immortal Alliance leadership never hesitates to show no mercy, regardless of whether they are members of the Void Order.

Especially for the void molecules lurking inside.

Clearly, at this moment, in the eyes of the Star Lord of Wonderful Nothingness, suspicion of Ye Yang had reached its peak.

"She was a follower of the Void, spreading that bullshit 'Holy Word' to harm me. In a fit of anger, I killed her." Ye Yang had already prepared his explanation, and he stated it openly and frankly without any attempt to hide it.

What he said was all true. Kui Que was a follower of the Void and did indeed spread the "Supreme True Void Spirit Holy Words," which harmed Ye Yang. Ye Yang was very angry, and regardless of whether it was to cover up the existence of the Serpent Bead, he had a strong desire to kill Kui Que.

In fact, he was a good person who stumbled upon and killed a traitor lurking within the Immortal Alliance.

This was an act of bravery and there was nothing wrong with it.

Ye Yang insisted that this was the case.

"Very well, very well you killed her in a fit of anger." Seeing Ye Yang's calm expression, the serious expression of the Mysterious Star Lord softened slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Why is he laughing? Perhaps it's because Ye Yang's open and even unbridled admission of killing the most beloved daughter of a powerful Star Lord amused the Star Lord Miao Wu.

If Ye Yang is truly connected to the Void Sect, and is still so self-righteous after being caught... then he is indeed a talent that is rare to find.

Even the Void Order is crazy, but not this absurdly crazy - Ye Yang's righteous look is practically written all over his face.

Lord Miaowu glanced at the quietly floating corpse of the Sunflower Sparrow, whose soul had long since vanished and was beyond dead; even the Heavenly Venerable could not revive it.

He then looked at Ye Yang once again:

"The truth of the matter has not yet been ascertained. If you are a follower of the Void, your fate will be nothing more than death. If you are not, there is still a future. The father of this Sunflower Sparrow is Saturn Lord, a second-level, fifth-rank official of the Immortal Alliance. Do you know what you will face in the future?"

"He raised such a daughter, and he actually has the nerve to cause me trouble?" Ye Yang said with a strange expression, "If I were him, the first thing I would do after finding out about this is to remove this rebellious daughter from the family register."

"They don't learn good things but bad things. They don't walk the bright path but only do crooked and evil ways, harming themselves and others." Ye Yang shook his head.

"Interesting." The murderous aura emanating from Lord Miaowu gradually disappeared, leaving only endless depth and etherealness.

He turned his head and waved his hand, and a cloud of auspiciousness rose up with Ye Yang and the corpse of the sunflower bird.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the next battlefield.

"return--"

"The True Lord of Wonderful Nothingness spoke softly, and immediately wisps of cloud gathered together, forming a net-like structure."

This constantly changing structure actually collected and summarized the traces and information left on the battlefield, and began to reconstruct what had happened in the past.

After observing for a while, True Monarch Miaowu spoke calmly: "As expected, it is a void blockade. The battlefield traces are exactly the same as the images uploaded by Kui Que earlier."

"You already know about Void Blockade, do you still think you have nothing to do with the Void Cult?" He looked at Ye Yang.

Ye Yang showed no sign of panic and said matter-of-factly, "She has already sung that so-called 'Sacred Words' inheritance, and she's already fed me. I can't refuse to eat."

"Furthermore—senior, this method is similar to a void blockade. I didn't use any power from the [Void] at all, and I couldn't possibly borrow the power of the [Void] in this Lost Immortal Realm."

"All my secret techniques are constructed entirely based on my own understanding of laws and power."

Ye Yang said frankly:

"You can ask any senior in the Immortal Alliance who is skilled in the laws of time and space to conduct a technical assessment. What I said is not false at all!"

This incident involves many people and includes the Void Cult, making it a very serious matter.

When Miao Wuxingjun conducts on-site reconnaissance, he will definitely make records, including his questions to Ye Yang and Ye Yang's answers.

Ye Yang was never ambiguous in his speech; if it was yes, it was yes, and if it wasn't, it wasn't.

Fortunately, the Star Lord Miaowu was unaware of the "Sacred Pearl" matter, and Ye Yang was basically certain that Kui Que hadn't mentioned it. Kui Que turned the tables and accused Ye Yang of being a Void molecule, so how could she possibly know so much about Ye Yang's secrets?

Does telling the truth prevent the secret from being exposed?

Logically speaking, Kui Que wouldn't have revealed this secret at the time.

As long as it doesn't involve the "Holy Pearl," Ye Yang can say anything and tell the truth!

True gold fears no fire, and the truth can withstand scrutiny. The power behind Ye Yang can guarantee that he will receive fair treatment in the subsequent investigation and trial by the Immortal Alliance.

As long as justice can be guaranteed, no one can convict Ye Yang.

"Where did you get the powerful energy explosion weapon that you used to consume the immortal power of the Sunflower Sparrow Immortal Treasure?" Lord Miaowu continued to probe and asked again.

Ye Yang spoke the truth:

"Acquired from a dungeon world. I have managed my dungeon world effectively and maintained a good cooperative relationship with the Wisteria Trading Company. My financial records are traceable, proving the extent of my development of the dungeon world. I have the financial resources to acquire such a powerful energy explosion weapon!"

Why did you attack the Sunflower Sparrow first?

"Because she was chanting something called 'The Holy Words of the True and Illusory Spirit' at the time, I didn't want to listen, but she insisted on singing it, so I started fighting. When I found that I couldn't break through her defense, I ran away, but she still managed to catch up with me—you also identified this, senior."

How did you meet Kui Que?

"A chance encounter—but upon reflection, it might not have been a chance encounter. However, I don't know the truth behind it, and I can only rely on you, senior, or other technical talents in the Immortal Alliance to investigate."

"Your feelings towards the sunflower

While carrying the corpses of Ye Yang and Kui Que, Miao Wu Zhenjun repeatedly used various methods to scan the route from Xuan Qi Sect to Xiao Xumi Mountain in the Xuanxian Realm.

Then, whenever there was any doubt, he would question Ye Yang and record his testimony.

Even the Star Lord Miaowu went deep into Mount Sumeru and found the reclusive elder who had been guiding Ye Yang in comprehending the Dao of the Candidate Time and Space, and recorded his statement there as well.

A day later, they found the late-stage immortal from the Xuanxian Realm, nicknamed "Black-Nosed Old Taoist," and questioned him, recording his statement.

Upon returning to the Xuanqi Sect, Miaowu Xingjun put down the Kui Quehu body that had been sealed and preserved.

They also put down Ye Yang, who had been obediently cooperating with the investigation.

Next, relevant evidence and testimonies were submitted within the Immortal Alliance Star Officials' internal network to proceed to the next step.

Ye Yang finally got the chance to contact the outside world. Of course, this contact was made under the supervision of a Level 3 Star Official who came from the main world.

"How could such a thing happen?!" Upon hearing about Ye Yang's ordeal, True Immortal Zhushan was greatly surprised.

On one hand, they were shocked that Ye Yang had such great strength, and on the other hand, they were worried about his situation.

"Your master is at a crucial moment in refining the stars to achieve true immortality, so I won't interfere with him. Anyway, he can't help much," said True Immortal Zhushan. "In that case, Ancestor Jili is also busy lately. I'll ask one of the ancestral uncles in the lineage to negotiate on your behalf."

"You are a promising junior whom our ancestor highly regards, and you are also the only one in our lineage to successfully enter the Enlightenment Project and meet the graduation standards in so many years. You are our only successor, so don't worry," Zhushan Zhixian reassured Ye Yang.

Ye Yang nodded:

"Yes, I understand, Grandmaster. I'll leave my sleeping clone on the home planet to you. To prevent the clone from being awakened and regaining consciousness, which could trigger the Void's perception and cause it to erode my clone, some powerful sealing techniques are needed—ideally, to stop all thought altogether."

He mentioned his second clone, which was actually what Ye Yang was most worried about.

After realizing the dangers of the "Supreme True Spiritual Words", he immediately stopped the second clone's thinking, fell into a deep sleep, and stopped the synchronization of memories.

However, as long as the second clone is disturbed by something and unexpectedly awakens, its memories will immediately begin to synchronize. This is an inevitable result under the integration of true meaning, which even Ye Yang cannot control.

While studying and comprehending the "Supreme True Spiritual Words" in other worlds is fine, the "Void" of the main world cannot bridge the distance between the various worlds to sense the existence of a path similar to cultivation.

Once Ye Yang comprehends the many mysteries within the "Supreme True Spirit Holy Words" and synchronizes the memories to his second clone, the "Void" will immediately sense it and unleash its power, beginning the assimilation and erosion at the level of the Great Dao. The Void erosion threat posed by just one "Void Pearl" to Ye Yang was already terrifying. If he were to connect with the Void again through "Path Resonance," Ye Yang doesn't think he would have any way to protect himself under the gaze of the "Void."

"Don't worry, I will use the strictest methods to seal it, and if necessary, I will completely annihilate this second clone of yours," sighed True Immortal Zhushan.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked Ye Yang, "Minghong, to be honest, what are your chances of resisting the erosion of the [Void] after you achieve the Great Dao?"

"Will you—be able to come back?"

Ye Yang also fell silent.

To be honest, he couldn't guarantee anything about this, because there was no precedent for it in the entire Immortal Alliance.

According to the information collected by the Immortal Alliance, the "Supreme True Spirit Holy Words" is a strange cultivation technique specifically designed for the "Holy Son" and "Holy Master" of the Void Sect.

Even among the 'protectors' who are only one level below in the Void Sect, very few have been able to even begin their cultivation.

Only a few ancient and powerful Void Guardians were able to comprehend and cultivate the "Supreme True Void Spirit Holy Words," making their strength exceptionally powerful even at the True Monarch level!

While the powerful figures on the Immortal Alliance side had previously obtained relevant inheritances from a few captured "Void Saints" and from those "Void Saint Lords" who had been sealed and dissected for research.

However, virtually no one could understand what this "holy word" was actually saying.

A few geniuses with extraordinary talent in the Void almost went mad after hearing this. Some completely lost their minds and died soon after, while others quickly betrayed the Void Cult and joined it!

From then on, the Immortal Alliance dared not conduct similar experiments on the "Supreme True Spiritual Words" again.

Only a very few powerful beings, skilled in the Dao of the Great Void, possess a strong Dao heart and an incomparably perfect and stable Dao system. They have both the innate talent to comprehend the "Supreme True Void Spirit Sacred Words" and sufficient ability to resist or even avoid the erosion and assimilation of the [Void]. Only then can they barely attempt to comprehend it.

But those powerful figures are at least True Monarch level, which Ye Yang is still far from.

"I just contacted a senior member of the Taixu School. He told me a lot, and his conclusion was that once I truly achieve the Great Dao and reach a higher level, comparable to a Star Lord, there will be a slight chance of successfully returning to the main world without being trapped by the [Void]."

erosion."

Ye Yang smiled and said, "Of course, to be absolutely sure, you just need to perfect the Great Dao to the point of being comparable to a True Monarch, haha."

The True Immortal of Zhushan fell into a long silence.

"Grandmaster, there's no need to worry about me." Ye Yang suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing with an extremely bright and confident light:

"Since there's still a chance, I will achieve my goal step by step! Whether it takes a thousand years or ten thousand years, I will do it one day!"

"Even in the Lost Immortal Realm, there are methods to achieve immortality! There are even immortal realms comparable to True Monarchs, but no one can reach them now."

Ye Yang said with boundless pride:

"I just can't return to the main world, not that I've lost all possibilities of progress. This little difficulty can't stop me!"
