Earth, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang waited outside the transmission channel aboard the spaceship.

After this spaceship was activated, it consumed three top-grade spirit stones every hour. For the Cultivation World, not to mention the ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even some Core Formation Masters could not afford to maintain such a spirit ship.

Especially during long journeys.

In one day and night, such a spaceship would consume as many as thirty-six top-grade spirit stones, a burden few Core Formation Masters in the Southern Domain's Cultivation World could afford.

Due to the resources of the White Jade City's top-grade spirit ore, Yang Fei didn't have much concept of spirit stones, so after activating this spirit boat, he didn't consider the consumption of spirit stones.

After all, they had brought a large amount of spirit stones when they left, and the spirit stones in his and Qin Yanyang's storage bags were enough to drive the spirit ship to hover in the void for one or two months, besides their regular cultivation.

Since Lu Chen and Gan Qian left, the couple worried that the Southern Domain would send more Foundation Establishment Cultivators. If the number of enemy Foundation Establishment cultivators became too large, it would be difficult to defend the territory on Earth, so the couple decided to stay here and deal with each one as they came.

The two had planned to stay here for ten days to half a month, but only after three hours, there were violent fluctuations in the transmission channel.

The two suddenly opened their eyes during cultivation, coming to the deck of the spaceship, nervously looking toward the sky.

On the firmament, a silver-white light flashed in the huge opening, and then a spirit boat appeared.

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang with their excellent eye power immediately recognized Lu Chen and Gan Qian on the spirit boat.

"Friend Yang, Friend Qin, have you been waiting here all the time?" Lu Chen spoke first.

Yang Fei responded, "Yes, did you go back? How did you return so quickly?"

Lu Chen said, "How long did we take in total?"

They had no concept of time while traversing through the transmission channel, so they wanted to ask how long it had been this time.

Yang Fei said, "About three hours."

Gan Qian was surprised, "So fast?"

They didn't know how much time was spent in the transmission channel, but after returning to the Southern Domain, they spent a long time discussing with those Core Formation Masters, and during that period, Master Uncle Shang Daocheng returned to the sect once, which took about three hours.

Lu Chen said, "It seems that the time needed to traverse this transmission channel is very short. This is indeed a powerful transmission formation."

Gan Qian nodded and said, "That's right, similar to the transmission array of our sect, which can instantly transport to a fixed point."

After Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang understood the time taken to traverse two worlds, they both nodded, but what they were more concerned about was the final attitude of the Lingxiao Sect.

"How is the situation?" Yang Fei asked eagerly.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Brother Yang, you are truly insightful. You were right before. After finding out about the powerful effects of the Gene Elixir, our Master Uncle Shang Daocheng took it very seriously, personally returned to the sect, and brought back a reply from our Sect Master, saying that the Lingxiao Sect is willing to cooperate with Earth's Cultivation World."

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were overjoyed, and both let out a sigh of relief.

Cooperation is good.

Otherwise, under such a prolonged standoff and conflict, it would be hard for Earth's cultivators to have peaceful days. Moreover, without the auxiliary Elixirs needed for advancement, Earth's cultivators could hardly grow quickly.

Qin Yanyang asked, "Your Lingxiao Sect's Sect Master personally said he was willing to cooperate?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "This is what Master Uncle Shang Daocheng said, but we haven't seen the Sect Master ourselves, so we don't know the details. But Master Uncle Shang Daocheng is the chief disciple of Sect Master Jiang Yao, he wouldn't falsely convey such information."

Qin Yanyang continued to ask, "Is it only Lingxiao Sect cooperating with us?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment, and said, "Master Uncle said that the Southern Domain Cultivation World is willing to cooperate with Earth's Cultivation World. The Southern Domain can provide Earth's Cultivation World with the needed elixirs, weapons, and other cultivation resources, but the premise is that Earth must provide a sufficient amount of top-grade spirit stones for purchase or exchange."

"What about the Gene Elixir?" Qin Yanyang asked.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Master Uncle didn't mention this point. I guess our Lingxiao Sect's higher-ups probably want to privately control the Gene Elixir's influence in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, and in exchange, Lingxiao Sect would take care of mediating and resolving the conflicts between Earth and other cultivation forces."

Qin Yanyang frowned.

Yang Fei was also disappointed, opened his mouth and finally couldn't hold back: "In other words, your Master Uncle just let you bring back a word, saying that cooperation is possible, but didn't say anything specific about how to cooperate?"

Lu Chen and Gan Qian smiled wryly, both nodding, and Gan Qian said, "Yes. Before we left, Senior Brother Lu Chen specifically asked Master Uncle how to reply to you, and Master Uncle said the details would be discussed later, just telling us to come back as soon as possible to inform you."

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang exchanged a glance, the latter couldn't help but worry, "Could this be their delaying tactic?"

Lu Chen and Gan Qian also felt a chill in their hearts.

Indeed, this possibility was not small.

But soon they both dismissed this possibility.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Not to mention spirit ore resources, just the significance of the Gene Elixir is very special. After the Lingxiao Sect higher-ups learned its uses, they would definitely find a way to obtain it, unlikely to take unnecessary risks lightly."

Gan Qian also said, "That's right. We had pre-informed Master Uncle and others before, as per your instructions, that if the Southern Domain Cultivation World tried to forcibly attack Earth, you are the type to rather break the jade than keep the whole tile, and would completely destroy the Gene Elixir, even the top-grade Spirit Mine, so that the Southern Domain Cultivation World would get nothing. So the higher-ups should understand the stakes and won't risk it lightly."

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang felt much more relaxed, Yang Fei laughed and said, "Let's stop worrying about their motives. Since your Master Uncle had you come to inform us of this news, someone responsible for discussing the cooperation details should come soon. We just need to wait."

Qin Yanyang nodded, reminded, "Then we must be prepared for both outcomes."

Lu Chen and Gan Qian also nodded silently, agreeing that Qin Yanyang's suggestion was reasonable.

Yang Fei pondered slightly and said, "We don't know when they'll come from the Southern Domain. If we return to White Jade City to call for people, it might be too late, and there would be even fewer of us left here. Let's take it step by step. The four of us here, plus this spirit ship, if many people come to fight, we should be able to escape even if we can't win."

Qin Yanyang considered and nodded, saying, "You're right, let's do as you say and see what their plan is."

While Lu Chen and Gan Qian brought this reply back to Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, Lingxiao Sect's Sect Master Jiang Yao left the mountain gate to personally visit the Sect Masters of the Flame Moon Sect and the Great Dao Sect.

Transmission arrays were set up between the three major two-star sects in the Southern Domain, and as Jiang Yao was a Nascent Soul Stage expert, it took only about two days for the three Sect Masters to successfully meet and engage in close discussions regarding cooperation with Earth's Cultivation World, reaching a consensus.

On the third day, the three Sect Masters arrived together, appearing at the entrance of the transmission channel.
