Chapter 496: Star Cluster Island, a Gilded Invitation
“What’s this?” Chu Yunfan asked as he put on the ring.
Jeang Yuanbin looked at his disciples and said, “It’s a signal jammer. You might need it on Star Myriad Island because that place will be highly dangerous and isn’t under surveillance.”
Chu Yunfan and the others were not stupid. They immediately understood Jeang Yuanbin’s subtext. They did not know what kind of danger they would encounter on Star Myriad Island.
Just like after leaving the human outposts, the situation in the wilderness was a hundred times worse than in the city. There was a possibility that they would be ambushed and killed. Especially Chu Yunfan who had offended many people.
When that time came, there might be people who would come to kill him. The signal jammer would then come in handy.
“I don’t want to use the worst-case scenario to guess people’s thoughts, but such a situation could happen. Be careful everyone. Especially you, Chu Yunfan,” Jeang Yuanbin said as he gazed at Chu Yunfan.
“Understood, sir.” Chu Yunfan nodded, but he was not worried. Anyone who wanted to come after him would have to have enough strength to do so.
“But what if there are Innate-level monsters on the island or foreign Innate experts who barge in?” Sha Peng asked with a hint of concern in his voice. If they were only Acquired-level monsters, they had nothing to worry about. Although it was dangerous, they could be dealt with relative ease. However, if an Innate-level expert appeared, then everything would be completely different.
“Not to worry. I’ve asked around. The Innate Stage monsters on the island have already been dealt with. There weren’t many of them, to begin with. On top of that, a barrier will be set up around the island to prevent any Innate Stage experts from entering. Therefore, you don’t have to worry. The Stellaris Sect doesn’t have the guts to play tricks on us,” Jeang Yuanbin said resolutely.
Hearing this, everyone was relieved.
“You will be required to stay on Star Myriad Island for just a month, so don’t be anxious,” Jeang Yuanbin said.
Then, Jeang Yuanbin told his disciples about some other things that they needed to pay attention to on the Star Myriad Island.

The Black Hawk flew for a full hour before it finally left behind human territory and reached the Infinite Sea. Through the external cameras, everyone could see the shocking scene of the blue waves and the cloudless sky surrounding them.
Compared to the oceans of Earth, the waves on the Infinite Sea were much higher. They were so high that one could spot hundred-feet tall waves. The Black Hawk soared through the sky. Though the waters looked relatively calm, one could often spot huge waves slapping against the sky.
From time to time, Chu Yunfan spotted the figures of huge sea monsters swimming, hunting, and so on, in the waters below them. One of these sea monsters even treated the Black Hawk that was flying high in the sky as prey. With a leap, the gigantic beast that was over 500 feet opened its maws and tried to swallow the Black Hawk.
Fortunately, the Black Hawk quickly pulled up and increased its height in time, thus avoiding the fate of being swallowed by the gigantic beast.
Everyone was in shock. That gigantic sea monster was at least 500 feet long and had definitely reached the Innate Stage. Compared to this gigantic sea monster, the huge snake that had been about to transform into a Flood Dragon Chu Yunfan had met a few months back paled in comparison.
After flying across the surface of the sea for a few more hours, the territory of the Stellaris Sect finally came into view—Star Cluster Island.
Star Cluster Island looked more like a huge continent than an island. According to the records in the?Encyclopedia of Cultivation, Star Cluster Island was at least hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.
From afar, the island looked endless. However, it was not just some deserted island. On the contrary, it was an island teeming with life. More than half of Star Cluster Island had been developed into an extremely prosperous city.
After the Black Hawk landed at the designated landing port, the group followed the representatives that had been arranged to receive them to the headquarters of the Stellaris Sect.
Along the way, they saw others being picked up one after another from various locations all over. Compared to the cities of the Federation, Star Myriad Island was not much different. Everything was just more spaced out and the island was sparsely populated. However, the facilities on the island were no less developed.
After taking a flying car, they finally arrived at the reception area of Star Myriad Island. Over 10,000 students from various places, disciples, and their accompanying teachers had arrived in one go. In total, there were several thousand people along with the staff of the various universities.
Therefore, it was impossible to arrange a villa for every single person. Everyone had to stay in villas that would house several groups. Chu Yunfan did not have any objections because he knew that this was only a temporary stay.
Not long after they arrived, Jeang Yuanbin was called away by the staff of Federation University and had to leave Chu Yunfan and the others behind. Chu Yunfan did not have any relations with the staff so he could use this period of time to further consolidate his cultivation.
Jeang Yuanbin had solemnly given them a signal jammer. From this, one could imagine how dire the situation was. Chu Yunfan was never one to overestimate so-called human nature. He had seen many battles out in the wilderness and had even killed many by his own two hands. He had long gotten used to this.
But just as Chu Yunfan was about to continue his secluded cultivation, he received a gilded invitation, inviting him to a restaurant in the reception area. The name of the sender was Tang Wentian.
“Someone from the Tang family?” Chu Yunfan muttered to himself. He did not know who this Tang Wentian was. He had received an invitation from this person with the surname “Tang” out of the blue.
The identity of this person was obvious. It could only be a member of the Tang family that Tang Siyu was from.
‘Fine. I’ll come and see what tricks you guys are up to,’ Chu Yunfan decided.
After bidding farewell to Sha Peng and the others, Chu Yunfan left.
At the reception area, students from various schools as well as from various sects could be seen everywhere. All of them looked to be around 18 or 19 years old, full of vigor and vitality. Yet all of them were wild and unruly, exuding a powerful aura.
These were geniuses that were rarely seen on normal days. But here now, they were an extremely common sight.
There were still two hours left before the time stated on Tang Wentian’s invitation. Chu Yunfan was not in a hurry and started strolling around the reception area.
It had been a very long time since Chu Yunfan had been so relaxed. And not long from now, there would be battles all over the desolate island. To Chu Yunfan, this period was a rare leisure time.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise in front of him. Many people had gathered at a spot in front of him. Chu Yunfan walked toward the crowd and spotted a black plate about 600 feet long at the center of the gathering.
