Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1611 - 716: Countering with Strategy

Celestial Fish Constellation, Planet No. 12458936.

Deep night.

Lishan Country Capital,

on the top floor of a high-rise building.

Northern Celestial Empress Mo Liqing stood before the floor‑to‑ceiling window, gazing at the starry sky outside.

In the night sky, due south, starlight was scattered; among them, one great star was particularly bright—that was precisely the planet where the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree was located.

Staring at that distant and radiant great star, Northern Celestial Empress Mo Liqing spoke: "Mo Sihai, these last few days you’ve been recruiting people to probe the situation over by the Celestial Destiny Fruit. Have there been any new discoveries?"

Behind Mo Liqing stood three Female Celestial Generals and Northern Celestial Palace General Mo Sihai; among them, Mo Sihai, dressed in a suit, cupped his hands, frowned, and said:

"In the few days since Great Emperor arrived here, I’ve recruited more than twenty waves of people to investigate that Black Sea Star, which lies over sixteen million kilometers from this place, but every time the result is the same.

Those people are fine as long as they reach Black Sea Star, but the moment they approach within a thousand li of the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree on Black Sea Star, they suddenly lose all contact, their life or death unknown. Among those more than twenty waves, there were quite a few high‑level Transcendence experts, as well as people skilled in using all kinds of artificial probing instruments, but without exception, not a single one returned—they all vanished on that Black Sea Star."

Speaking up to this point, Northern Celestial Palace General Mo Sihai’s brow knit tightly. "What’s most bizarre is that none of those people—whether the explorers proficient in various artificial instruments, or those high‑level Transcendence cultivators—experienced any battle before they disappeared. Then they, along with the Communication Jades they carried or the instruments used for contact, all inexplicably vanished!

This Black Sea Star is rather strange. Just what kind of combat talent do the Fierce Beasts inside possess, what level of strength do they actually have—we still haven’t been able to thoroughly find out!

But what is certain is that even a cultivator at the Eleventh Layer of Transcendence has almost no ability to resist before the Fierce Beasts of this Black Sea Star! That one and only Eleventh Layer of Transcendence cultivator who managed to send back some cries for help only managed to say, ’What kind of Fierce Beast is this... so strong,’ just a few words!"

The three Female Celestial Generals, after hearing Mo Sihai’s account, all looked toward their own Northern Celestial Empress with some unease.

Northern Celestial Empress Mo Liqing continued to gaze at that great star, raised her brows, and said: "An Eleventh Layer of Transcendence cultivator could only manage to transmit back a sentence or two before disappearing outright. Seems the Fierce Beasts on this Black Sea Star have some strength. It’s not in vain that I personally came here!

Tomorrow at dawn, I’ll go to this Black Sea Star and take a look at just how strong the Fierce Beasts are that can make so many experts mysteriously vanish!"

Female Celestial General Demon Sword, hearing this, couldn’t help but speak up with some concern:

"We still don’t know what kind of combat talent that Fierce Beast has, nor what Realm of Transcendence it corresponds to. Great Emperor absolutely mustn’t risk yourself directly!

How about this: I’ll take some people and go to that Black Sea Star first, approach the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, and scout it out in advance for Great Emperor. We must at least understand that Fierce Beast before we can make fully thorough preparations!

Great Emperor has taught Demon Sword for a thousand years. Now that it’s a critical moment, how could Demon Sword just watch as Great Emperor directly confronts such a completely unknown Fierce Beast!"

Female Celestial Generals Demon Chess and Moqin also cupped their hands to express that the two of them were willing to go to that Black Sea Star first together with Female Celestial General Demon Sword, to scout ahead.

"The three of you are all at the Eleventh Layer of Transcendence Realm as well. I fear you’d end up just like those missing Eleventh Layer of Transcendence experts, with almost no power to resist before that kind of special Fierce Beast. Letting you go would be what’s truly dangerous! I, Mo Liqing, have already reached the Fourteenth Layer of Transcendence—do I still need you little ones to explore on my behalf?"

Northern Celestial Empress Mo Liqing lightly shook her head.

"But Great Emperor..." Female Celestial General Demon Sword still wanted to say something.

"Don’t bring this up again. If you’re willing to go, then go together with me! I’ve spent countless effort and Energy to raise you, the backbone of our Northern Celestial Palace. It’s not so that I can throw you away here to waste your lives!" Northern Celestial Empress Mo Liqing turned to look at the three Female Celestial Generals, her expression solemn.

Seeing that their own Great Emperor seemed on the verge of blowing up in anger,

Female Celestial General Demon Sword and the other two Female Celestial Generals all fell silent, not daring to speak further.

Right at this moment,

a knocking sound came from outside,

and a man’s voice rang out, "Great Emperor, Six True Immortals Emperor’s Chief Disciple Yang Jian’an has arrived with some other True Disciples of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor, saying he wishes to meet Great Emperor."

Northern Celestial Empress Mo Liqing, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

Toward that Six True Immortals Emperor’s Chief Disciple Yang Jian’an, she was clearly quite annoyed.

"Yang Jian’an? Wasn’t he going to hold his Couple‑Binding Grand Ceremony on the Central Celestial Star of the Middle Celestial Palace?

Why did he suddenly come here? Seems the Middle Celestial Palace, over there, is dead set on the Celestial Destiny Fruit as well!

Great Emperor, are you going to see this annoying guy or not?"

Female Celestial General Demon Sword couldn’t help but whisper.

Northern Celestial Empress Mo Liqing’s gaze flickered slightly as she said, "For now, our Northern Celestial Palace still counts as a branch force of the Six Paths Celestial Court. Since this Six Paths True Immortal Emperor’s Chief Disciple has come, we still need to meet him at least once. Let him in!"

A short while later,

Six True Immortals Emperor’s Chief Disciple Yang Jian’an, bringing with him three Early Stage Twelfth Layer of Transcendence experts, stepped forward and looked toward Northern Celestial Empress Mo Liqing, who stood before the floor‑to‑ceiling window. His gaze flickered a few times before he finally cupped his hands and said, "Yang Jian’an pays his respects to Northern Celestial Emperor!"

"Instead of holding your Couple‑Binding Grand Ceremony on the Central Celestial Star, you came running to this remote planet of the Celestial Fish Constellation. You’re here for the Celestial Destiny Fruit as well?"
