Just then, Lan Jue felt a tug on his shirt. He turned his head to find a slender, pale hand clutching at the front of his shirt.
It was Zhou Qianlin.
"Qian Lin!" Lan Jue cried out in surprise.
Usually Zhou Qianlin reacted instinctively, but she had never taken the initiative like this.
Her eyes, however, were still empty and lifeless.
Lan Jue tried to pry her hand away, but she held on tight. She wouldn't let go.
She didn't know why, but Lan Jue's eyes were wet with tears.
He pursed his lips and took a deep breath. "Fine. No matter what, we will live and die together. We will never be apart." He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
There was a flash of light, and the two became one. Lan Jue's Discipline returned to the peak of ninth level.
Zeus -1's nozzles opened, and two figures were ejected. Lan Jue and the Pharmacist.
They didn't wear their mechas this time, they were too obvious a target.
However, they relied on their understanding of protogenia to keep their lifeforce from leaking out.
"Why did you come, sister?
Did you find something? "The Pharmacist at Lan Jue's side asked.
The Pharmacist's eyes were calm, but now they were troubled. Her body began to tremble.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Lan Jue asked.
The Pharmacist was silent for a moment, as if trying to suppress her emotions. She bit down on her lower lip. "I felt it. I felt its presence."
Lan Jue was puzzled. "Its presence?
Whose presence? "
The Pharmacist took a deep breath. "Ultus!"
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. "Ultus?
The head of the Four Immortal Swords, the Immortal Slaying Sword?
The one my brother-in-law took with him? "
The Pharmacist nodded without hesitation.
Lan Jue gasped. "The home worlds?"
The Pharmacist nodded again. "I'm sure Ultus is in the largest one.
If you don't believe me, sink your consciousness into the Immortal Trapping Sword and you'll feel it too. "
Lan Jue nodded slightly and closed her eyes to feel it silently.
His consciousness sank into the Celestial Trapping Sword and he immediately entered a wonderful world. In the aura emitted by the Celestial Trapping Sword, all the space was stacked layer by layer, constantly creating and collapsing.
There was also a trace of ethereal immortal aura.
This Immortal Qi was vast and boundless.
It was as if it could devour everything, but it also seemed like it was the origin of everything.
This was the power of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords.
Sure enough, when Lan Jue's consciousness entered the Celestial Trapping Sword, she soon discovered something.
The Immortal-trapping Sword seemed to be trembling slightly, as if it was calling out to something. It was as if there was a will that resonated with it from afar.
Other than the one in the distance, there were two more nearby. Naturally, they were the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and the Immortal Extinguishing Sword.
Lan Jue sucked in a breath. If Ultus was on the planet, didn't that mean the Pharmacist's husband …
When he looked at the Pharmacist again, he could see tears streaming from her eyes. They floated in space.
After so many years she had finally found news of her husband, but it was tragic news.
If Ultus was on the planet, then her husband's chances of survival were slim to none.
"Sister, don't be sad. Maybe …" Lan Jue tried to comfort the Pharmacist.
The Pharmacist waved her hand dismissively. "Say no more. I knew this day would come.
I also understood that I had been deceiving myself all along.
How could he be alive?
But he hadn't expected it to be the aliens who'd driven him into a dead end!
I don't care what price I have to pay, I have to get Ultus back.
It's probably the only thing he has left in this world. "
"I'll help you!" Lan Jue blurted out.
The Pharmacist paused, looking at him with a strange light in her eyes.
It was a simple word, but it represented a promise.
They all knew how powerful the alien planets were, and yet Lan Jue was offering to help.
The Pharmacist's heart was moved.
Lan Jue's voice was low. "Sister, do you have a plan?
Or do you have a way to awaken Ultus? "
"It's better to ask Evernight and Xuan Yuan about the Banishing Blades," the Pharmacist said. "They'll know more."
"Alright!" Lan Jue called out to the White Blademaster, Jun Yongye.
There was a flash of light and Jun Yongye appeared at her side.
The first thing he did was turn his attention to the alien planets.
As soon as Lan Jue's consciousness entered Captus, it awoke from its slumber. Naturally, it sensed the presence of Ultus.
"Yongye, Ultus is probably on the planet.
Is there a chance we can summon it? "Lan Jue asked.
Jun Yongye's brows furrowed. "Ultus. Yes, it's Ultus.
But it seems to be sealed away by some great power.
Furthermore, I could feel that its power seemed to have been completely stimulated.
Very strong.
The Zhu Xian sword is originally the head of our four Zhu Xian swords, although in terms of individual strength we are about the same, but only within the Zhu Xian sword, there is information related to the Zhu Xian formation diagram.
If we can get it back, then we might be able to summon the Banishing Formation. "
Lan Jue asked. "I've only heard of it in legends. Is it really that strong?"
Jun Yongye chuckled. "In this world, there are no immortal realms or divine realms. But I can tell you that even a golden immortal of the Great Firmament, or even higher, would be reduced to ashes by the Banishing Strategy.
To put it more bluntly, if we could summon the Banishing Formation, we could use it as a core to resist universal protogenia and rebuild the world of immortals.
Do you think it's strong? "
Lan Jue sucked in a breath. She could see the desire to fight in Jun Yongye's eyes.
"Can we summon Ultus?" Lan Jue asked.
Jun Yongye's voice was low. "It'll be difficult.
We can use its aura to find its exact location.
However, the Banishing Blades can only be controlled by their masters.
We can find it, but we can't take it with us.
If you want to take it, you'll have to defeat its master.
However, the Banishing Blades are one and cannot harm one another.
You won't be able to harm it. "
He opened his mouth to ask more questions, but the Pharmacist grabbed him by the shoulder.
He turned to look at her.
The Pharmacist had regained her composure. "Now that we know where Ultus is, there's no need to be impatient.
Once we become Paragons, we'll be able to use Occisus and Captus' full power. Then finding the planet won't be difficult.
If we can reach Jueti's level, we'll be able to use Occisus, Captus, and Demortus.
We won't have to be afraid of the alien planets. "
Lan Jue sighed inwardly. Of course he understood. No one was more anxious than the Pharmacist to find Ultus. She was saying this because she didn't want him to take the risk!
In reality, with their current strength, going to the planet would be like a moth flying into a flame.
"Sis, no matter when, if you go looking for Ultus, I'll be by your side." Lan Jue's voice was solemn and resolute.
The Pharmacist smiled and nodded. "Alright, let's finish our mission and return as soon as possible.
We need to bring more information back to the Eastern Alliance.
Our reconnaissance, and the battle between the Northern Alliance and the alien planets, will be invaluable information. "
"Yes." Lan Jue nodded.
The two of them took to the air, carefully concealing themselves as they flew toward the planet.
However, they didn't actually get close.
All they had to do was wait for a lone alien. Once they'd captured it, their mission would be complete.
At their level of cultivation, it wasn't a difficult task.
The key was that they couldn't alert the home worlds.
The size of a human was too small in the vast universe.
It was difficult to detect them.
They quickly found a suitable place to hide and waited quietly.
Thanks to the concealment of his life aura, he was able to fool a group of marauders.
After an hour of waiting, the opportunity came.
A large, umbrella-shaped alien flew by. Not far behind it was a dozen meters long, a beetle of purple and black.
Lan Jue and the others had seen it before.
In space, a dozen meters was minuscule.
It was hard to notice.
But don't underestimate it. Its defenses were strong, and it was as fast as lightning.
During battle, a three-edged thorn-like mouthpart would drill out from the front of its body. It was extremely destructive.
Lan Jue had seen one with her own eyes. It easily tore through a three-hundred-meter meteor.
They were the best at destroying all kinds of shields.
They were usually hidden on the bodies of larger aliens.
Whether in attack or defense, they were strong. Their rank wasn't low.
They weren't too big.
Naturally, it was just right for him to capture them back.
"That's the one." Lan Jue gestured to the Pharmacist.
"Alright, I'll hold the line for you." The Pharmacist transmitted.
The Pharmacist's Occisus was too deadly for her to capture alive. Lan Jue was much better at that.
Lan Jue's body flickered, and in a blink of an eye, she was gone.
