Chapter 405: Rescue

"Big Brother was captured? His fate is unknown?" Hearing Shao Jie’s words, Li Yang’s expression changed slightly.

The Earth of today was developing rapidly, almost entirely dependent on the resources Li Yang provided.

But if not for Shen Xuan, Earth might have been destroyed decades ago, or even reduced to a slave planet.

When Li Yang was just starting out, he had received a great deal of care from Shen Xuan. He had always held a trace of respect for him in his heart.

"Li Yang, I have no other choice. Against a faction of Tri-System Deities, I can only come to you for help."

Shao Jie looked at Li Yang and said anxiously.

He and Li Yang used to have a good relationship, but as Li Yang rose to prominence and even entered the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, their connection had faded.

That was just reality. Li Yang’s status was too high, and a sense of distance had naturally formed between them.

"Shen Xuan is my Big Brother. What do you mean, ’ask me for help’?"

Hearing Shao Jie’s words, Li Yang furrowed his brow slightly and said directly, "Shao Jie, tell me exactly what happened to Big Brother. Which faction captured him? I’ll contact them."

Hearing Li Yang say this, the anxiety in Shao Jie’s heart eased somewhat.

With Li Yang taking action, that faction of Tri-System Deities would surely give him face.

He quickly said, "Li Yang, Palace Master Shen Xuan was captured by the Beast Origin Sect."

"The Beast Origin Sect?"

Hearing the name, Li Yang immediately tapped his screen to search for information on the Beast Origin Sect. In less than a second, detailed information about the sect appeared before him.

"Beast Origin Sect, a faction of Tri-System Deities within the Yangyuan Empire. The Sect Master of the Beast Origin Sect is a Tri-System Deity, and the entire sect has five Deities..."

"The Beast Origin Sect raises ferocious beasts and even has one at the Divine Realm, with strength comparable to their Sect Master."

"The Beast Origin Sect dislikes contact with the outside world. All transactions are conducted only within the Beast Origin Sect’s territory..."

One piece of information after another appeared.

Seeing this information, Li Yang frowned slightly.

’Dislikes contact with the outside world?’

The information stated that the Beast Origin Sect was very reclusive, focused solely on cultivating ferocious beasts, and had very little contact with the outside world.

"Shao Jie, wait a moment. I’ll try to contact the Beast Origin Sect..."

Li Yang began to contact his Eleventh Senior Brother.

Soon, a man appeared in the Virtual World.

He was a tall, slender man with red hair that burned like flames. It was precisely Li Yang’s Eleventh Senior Brother, a Tri-System Deity named Jun Yue.

Seeing this man, Shao Jie didn’t dare to speak, standing respectfully to the side. He knew that the person who had arrived was surely a Deity.

To Shao Jie, a Deity with eternal life was a completely unimaginable existence.

Jun Yue appeared, glanced at Shao Jie, then looked away. He didn’t recognize Shao Jie, but he knew he must be from Earth.

"Haha, Junior Brother, what brings you to me?" Jun Yue looked at Li Yang and laughed heartily.

"Eleventh Senior Brother, I do have a matter I need your help with," Li Yang said quickly.

"Oh? Go on." Seeing Li Yang’s expression, Jun Yue’s face also turned serious.

He thought to himself, ’I know a bit about Li Yang’s situation. He went to the Star Moon Race and the Thunder Spirit Race and gained immense benefits. He’s definitely someone with great fortune. The Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall values him even more now, and there are even faint rumors that a Sovereign has taken an interest in Li Yang.’

One had to know that for a Sovereign, taking on a disciple was entirely a matter of mood. At their level, they could roam the Cosmos freely, and whether they took a disciple or not had no effect on them.

Back when Mixed Void, one of the Human Race’s top 100 talents, appeared, a crowd of Emperors fought to take him as a disciple.

Although he was ultimately taken as a disciple by a Sovereign, if a Sovereign of the Human Race hadn’t appeared, Mixed Void would have most likely been taken as a disciple by an Emperor.

Among the top 100 talents of the Human Race, only a third were taken as disciples by Sovereigns. So, even though Li Yang had passed the twelfth step of the Deity’s Path and displayed monstrous Talent, no Sovereign had descended for him back then.

But now, there were faint rumors that a Sovereign of the Human Race was paying attention to Li Yang.

Once Li Yang was taken as a disciple by a Sovereign, one could only imagine what his status would become!

’Even with Li Yang’s current status, how many things could he possibly need help with?’

"Eleventh Senior Brother, it’s like this. My sworn brother from Earth, Shen Xuan, has been captured by the people from the Beast Origin Sect. I was wondering if you might be able to contact the Beast Origin Sect..."

Li Yang didn’t waste any words and quickly explained the situation.

"The Beast Origin Sect?" Hearing Li Yang’s words, Jun Yue frowned slightly. "Junior Brother Li Yang, the Beast Origin Sect is a very reclusive sect. They basically never enter the Virtual World. It’s very difficult to get them to meet with anyone voluntarily."

He thought for a moment, then said, "However, I’ll go and try to see if I can meet with someone from the Beast Origin Sect."

"I’ll have to trouble you then, Eleventh Senior Brother," Li Yang said quickly.

Seeing Jun Yue exit the Virtual World, Li Yang turned back to Shao Jie. "Shao Jie, we’ll wait for a bit. In the meantime, tell me in detail what exactly happened to Big Brother."

Shao Jie was clearly feeling much better. With a Deity taking action, perhaps Shen Xuan would be released soon.

Shao Jie looked at Li Yang and said, "Li Yang, Palace Master Shen Xuan had been cultivating inside the Profound Origin Sect."

Li Yang nodded. The Profound Origin Sect, a faction of Tri-System Deities. After the talent selection for the Deity’s Path at the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, Shen Xuan had been cultivating there.

"Previously, some ruins appeared on a planet called Celestial Road Star. It was even rumored that Soul Awakening Grass could be found within the ruins, so Palace Master Shen Xuan went there, hoping to obtain it."

"Soul Awakening Grass?" Hearing this, Li Yang was a little puzzled.

’Big Brother needs Soul Awakening Grass?’

Soul Awakening Grass was an extremely rare treasure in the Cosmos, capable of practically bringing the dead back to life.

The soul is the essence of life. After becoming powerful, even if one’s physical body is destroyed, as long as the soul exists, one can continue to exist. It was just like Soul Ink, who had been left with only a sliver of his soul.

This was true for the strong, but the weak had no such means.

If a weak person’s physical body suffered a fatal injury, it was basically death, because their souls were too fragile to exist independently.

But for such weak individuals, if their physical body was fatally injured, they could be completely revived by using a Soul Awakening Grass!

This kind of treasure was exceedingly rare, perhaps even rarer than a Dragon Scale Insect.

"Yes."

Shao Jie nodded and said, "Li Yang, Palace Master Shen Xuan actually has a wife."

"Big Brother has a wife?" Hearing this, Li Yang was taken aback.

On Earth, Shen Xuan had always been alone, without any family. When he left Earth, he had also been by himself.

"But Palace Master Shen Xuan’s wife was in an accident a long time ago. The Palace Master has a treasure that has preserved her physical body. As long as he can find a Soul Awakening Grass, she can be revived," Shao Jie said.

"The ruins that appeared on Celestial Road Star were rumored to have Soul Awakening Grass, which is why Palace Master Shen Xuan went there."

"But in the end, people from the Beast Origin Sect suddenly descended and captured Palace Master Shen Xuan and many others inside the ruins. They claimed that the ruins belonged to their Beast Origin Sect, and that everyone who entered was stealing their sect’s treasures."
