Chapter 2137

Brilliant's answer was once again out of his expectations. Zi Chen originally thought that he was only pursuing freedom and not being coerced to leave. He didn't expect that he would follow him back to the Geng family.

Despite his surprise, Zi Chen didn't interrupt and listened quietly.

"I was still in the Heaven Realm at that time. I didn't want to be controlled by fate. After I followed Geng Yuanchu back to the Geng family, I used a secret method to help me escape from the Geng family. When I used the secret method, I vaguely sensed that the hope of freedom seemed to be in this star field, so I came here."

Brilliant smiled, and the room was suddenly filled with light like a hundred flowers blooming. "I traveled all the way to this area, bypassing the Rakshasa star field that was a threat to me. I deliberately let the slave-hunting team catch me in a remote area. My idea was very simple at that time, to control the future master and obtain freedom. But I didn't expect to meet you there."

That was what happened. After Zi Chen heard everything, he was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, Geng Lan recognized you last time. That's why she took you away."

Brilliant nodded. "That should be the case. Although he didn't see me, he could sense my aura."

Zi Chen looked at Brilliant and said, "But he didn't take you away by force and didn't let anyone catch you afterward. There should be a reason."

Brilliant's expression dimmed, and the room seemed to have lost its light. "It's fine if they didn't know where I was, but since they already knew, they didn't send anyone to take me away by force. They were waiting for me to go back. They knew that I had clansmen, and I had to go back for them."

"How many Saints are there in your tribe?" Zi Chen asked.

"Not a single one." Brilliant shook his head and gave Zi Chen an unexpected answer.

Zi Chen's expression fluctuated. He was a little shocked and a little confused.

There wasn't even a single Saint. How did this tribe survive in the cruel Star Path?

As if he had guessed Zi Chen's doubts, Brilliant explained, "Back then, my clansmen lived a very difficult life, not much better than those slaves. But when our clan was facing a crisis of survival, a man came and changed our fate."

"A person, could it be …" Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat, and the existence that was known as taboo appeared in his mind.

"This person is called Limitless. You might know him. He left us some life-saving methods. Although these methods won't allow us to dominate a star field, they can still protect us. However, after so many years, many of those life-saving methods have been used up. Now, their deterrence has been greatly reduced. That's why this happened."

Suddenly, Brilliant's eyes lit up. She looked at Zi Chen and said, "Maybe you can help us."

"My, my physical body hasn't completely broken through yet. How can I help?"

"In the past, Senior Wuji left behind some life-saving methods for us. Among them was a kind of Yin Yang Seal. However, this seal consumed too much energy, so its power was greatly weakened. It was said that only the same amount of energy could fill it. When you fought with Luo Fei before, I felt the same amount of energy. Perhaps it could."

Brilliant's eyes shone with hope.

"However, my cultivation level is too low. The level of energy is completely different. However, I can give it a try. If it really doesn't work, everyone in your tribe can leave with me. The Cauldron of All Creation is very large. I believe it can take all of your people with it."

"That's impossible. My clan has been cursed. We can't leave the planet we're on. That's why the Glorious Clan hasn't been able to produce a Saint all these years." Brilliant shook his head, his face full of frustration.

"Curse? What kind of curse?"

"I don't know the details, but in our tribe, only I can leave with a special identity. The others can't leave the tribe."

"Didn't Wuji go back then? Could it be that even he couldn't break the curse?"

"This is a secret of the tribe. I don't know, but it's said that the curse is related to Wuji himself. It seems that because of his appearance, the Glorious Tribe received protection, but also suffered some kind of curse."

As such, Zi Chen became more and more curious about the Glorious Tribe.

No matter how difficult the matter was, Zi Chen definitely had to help Brilliant. He decided to go to the Glorious Tribe first to take a look.

Before leaving, Zi Chen naturally had to arrange things here. He signaled Xing Chen to invite Chen Kun and the other family heads over.

Half a day later, all the family heads of a certain scale in the Rakshasa Galaxy had arrived. When they saw Zi Chen, they all bowed respectfully.

Although Zi Chen's current aura was still in the Heaven Realm, he was qualified to receive the treatment of a Saint since he was able to kill Luo Fei.

"Everyone, I've gathered all of you here today to first express my gratitude to all of you. Thank you for your contributions during this period of time, allowing many slaves to regain their freedom."

Zi Chen's politeness made the family heads feel flattered. At the same time, their anxious hearts also relaxed.

Recently, they had often come here. Besides investigating Zi Chen's situation, they were also worried that Xing Chen would ask them for the Luo family's resources.

The family heads politely expressed that it was what they should do. After Zi Chen thanked them again, he said, "Besides, there's one more thing I need to trouble you all."

"Zi Chen, if you need anything, just tell us directly. It's too distant to call us trouble. To be honest, without you, we would still be under the control of the Luo family. We would still be in deep trouble. To be honest, we should thank you more. You've saved us," said Chen Kun. The other family heads nodded continually.

"It's like this. I'm going to leave this star area and go to the Second Star Area. However, before I do that, I'm worried about the adventurers who have come to this life star area. I hope you all can tell them that when you meet them, I don't want to make it easy for them, but I hope you won't trouble them. They're the same as the others. They just need a place to train."

Zi Chen's words were very sincere.

Without any hesitation, Chen Kun said solemnly, "Zi Chen, you're treating us like outsiders. This is the star road. All the Heaven Realm warriors are qualified to come here for training. Freedom is the most basic thing. However, before this, everything was controlled by the Luo family. That's why this kind of thing happened. Don't worry. From now on, we will treat all the participants who come to this star area with respect."

"That's right. We will treat them with respect. We will give them the same amount of resources."

With the assurance of the family heads, Zi Chen relaxed. He nodded and said, "Then, I'll have to trouble you all."

After the family heads had left, Zi Chen signaled the others to prepare to leave.

This time, he had gathered more than six thousand slaves, which meant more than six thousand Heaven Realm warriors. Once he brought them to the life star, it would cause a big commotion.

This time, Zi Chen didn't need Deren to deceive the others. He had become the steward of this team. After collecting all the slaves, Zi Chen took Xing Chen and Brilliant to the star road.

The mansion that belonged to the Luo family was returned to Chen Kun. Zi Chen didn't know whether the latter would dig underground to find the precious treasure or not, and he didn't have time to care.

Accompanied by a group of Patriarchs, Zi Chen cupped his fists towards the crowd and disappeared.

After leaving Rakshasa Star Area, Zi Chen's aura changed.

Since Brilliant had a grudge with the Geng family, he couldn't use this identity anymore. Zi Chen decided to use his identity as a Spirit Devourer.

Xing Chen and Brilliant were his servants. Besides them, there were two False Saint slaves accompanying Zi Chen.

With his identity as a Spirit Devourer, it was normal to have such servants.

"The area between Rakshasa Star Area and Nicol Star Area is a no-man's land. Some star road bandits live here. They rob people for a living."

After leaving the star road, Brilliant became the guide and introduced Zi Chen to different places.

"How long will it take to get through this area?" asked Zi Chen.

"If we take the shortest route, we can reach Nicol Star Area in half a month. However, the shortest route is guarded by bandits. If we change the route, it will take us more than a year," said Brilliant. "It took me three years to get to Rakshasa Star Area."

"Who are those bandits? Are there any Saint experts among them?"

"No, the strongest among them is just a False Saint."

"If that's the case, let's go slower." Zi Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Brilliant looked at Zi Chen in confusion. "You mean …"

Zi Chen smiled faintly. "We have more than six thousand Heavenly Realm experts now. It's a waste if we don't use such a huge force. Since they are bandits, they are naturally the cancer of the star road. Fortunately, we have to remove them and contribute to the future generations. Moreover, there are so many people following me. I have to let them live a better life. Moreover, if we don't think of other ways, when can we let them enter the Saint realm?"

After hearing Zi Chen's words, Brilliant's eyes lit up. Even Xing Chen looked at Zi Chen in amazement and said, "If that's the case, your identity as a Spirit Devourer has advanced."

As soon as these words came out, even those False Saints who were calm before couldn't remain calm. Once a Spirit Devourer advanced, it would be a Harmonious Spirit Master. Such an existence could create Saints on a large scale.

In the outer region, such an existence was almost impossible to find. Even in the depths of the star road, such an existence was a high and mighty figure.

Looking at their expectant expressions, Zi Chen shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, but I can already extract the saint force from the False Saint Crystals. I believe that it won't be long before I can take the last step. Before that, we need to find more saint crystals to practice."

Speaking of saint crystals, Zi Chen thought of Wu Xing, Lei Dong and the others. In the beginning, they chose to step on the star road because they were afraid of him. Before that, each of them held a saint crystal, thinking that it was an opportunity to enter the Saint realm.

But now, Zi Chen was very clear that this piece of Saint Crystal definitely wouldn't be able to help them break through. It was fine if they didn't refine it, but if they failed to refine it, that would be the best outcome. Once there was a possibility of them breaking through to the Saint Realm, their potential would be completely wasted.

While he was lost in thought, rays of light appeared from afar and surrounded the group.
