After not seeing each other for a few months, Xiao Jun had obviously aged a lot. There was also an indelible worry between his brows.
Gao Xuan could see that the old man was not very happy during this period.
The Xiao family has become the sole hegemon of the Twelve Star Regions, and there are no strong enemies outside. It must be because he has made enemies with the major golden families that the old man is worried and under great pressure.
Gao Xuan had a good impression of Xiao Jun. The old man was very calm and experienced, and he knew how to handle things properly. His cooperation with the old man was also pleasant.
In addition to the relationship between Xiao Wan and Xiao Ting, Gao Xuan also has to look up to the old man.
Gao Xuan understood Xiao Jun's dilemma very well. It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.
However, at this point, the Twelve Star Regions and the Sea King Star Region were all labeled. It was not so easy to get off the ship.
Gao Xuan would not stop Xiao Jun, but he was afraid that the Qin family and other golden families would not be willing.
Remote star regions like the Twelve Star Regions have poor technology and no special resources, and have almost no influence in the alliance.
The Golden Family looked down upon such a remote star region because it was too far away and it would be troublesome to manage it even if they took it.
For the aristocratic families, effective management can only be achieved if the warships can reach the area within ten days.
A trip to the Twelve Star Regions would take at least a month.
These remote star regions are located outside the alliance. If a powerful enemy invades, they can also serve as beacons. Therefore, the Golden Family stays in the central star region.
Only a guy like Hercules, who had lost all his wealth, was forced to flee to the Sea King Star Region. Even so, Hercules looked down on the Twelve Star Regions and regarded them as a barbaric and crude place.
Gao Xuan thought the Twelve Star Regions were not bad, with a large enough population and good development. However, after three thousand years of development, the potential of the Twelve Star Regions had almost been exhausted.
Since the Xiao family has boarded his ship, he is willing to give the Xiao family a hand.
The Black Flag Star Region is an opportunity. It is a huge star region that has been occupied by pirates for two thousand years.
However, the Black Flag King was only interested in raising pigs. The Black Flag Star Region did not even have a decent industrial system, and the development of the star region was almost zero.
The population of the Twelve Star Regions is large enough. For example, the population of several megacities on Taurus has far exceeded the city's carrying capacity.
On the other hand, there are no job opportunities for the huge population resources. On the other hand, these people also have to share social resources.
Transferring some population resources from the Twelve Star Regions to the Black Flag Star Region is a good thing for both parties.
However, people nowadays prefer leisure to work. I am afraid that not many people are willing to go to foreign lands to explore planets.
If this organization wants to immigrate a large number of people to the Black Flag Star Region, it will be very difficult to do so.
Gao Xuan doesn’t really care whether the Black Flag Star Domain is managed well or not.
It would be a waste to leave such a habitable star field vacant.
The alliance is showing a trend of internal circulation, and the Black Flag star field is equivalent to a virgin land with huge development value.
As long as you are not a fool, you can make a profit.
Gao Xuan saw Xiao Jun's haggard appearance and decided not to joke with him. He just told the story directly.
Xiao Jun was quite surprised. What surprised him the most was that Gao Xuan really destroyed the Black Flag Alliance. Moreover, he killed everyone from top to bottom.
There was a lot of noise on the Internet, but Xiao Jun didn't believe it. He couldn't contact Gao Xuan, and he didn't know what to do with him.
It was not until now that Xiao Jun figured out the situation.
It turned out that the sensational news uploaded on Skynet was actually true.
Developing the Black Flag Star Region is of course a very profitable business, but the initial investment is larger.
The key lies in the attitude of the alliance and the attitude of the major golden families.
If Gao Xuan cannot gain a foothold, then the development of the Black Flag Star Region will be in vain.
The problem was that Gao Xuan's invitation was well-intentioned. It was clearly to help their Xiao family. If he refused, he would seem ungrateful.
If he refused Gao Xuan's kindness, Gao Xuan might not do anything to him. But if something happened to the Xiao family in the future, Gao Xuan would not be able to rely on him.
Xiao Jun was at a low level and had few channels to obtain information. He didn't know what the conflict between Gao Xuan and the Golden Family was, and what the attitudes of both sides were.
There was no other way, so Xiao Jun could only ask Gao Xuan: "Mr. Gao, I am very grateful that you can support the Xiao family. However, I don't know the reaction of the alliance. Will there be any problem with the ownership of the Black Flag Star Region?"
Gao Xuan comforted him, "Don't worry, I will take care of the alliance. It won't take long. You contact Helen first and make preparations..."
Xiao Jun was actually skeptical about Gao Xuan's assurance.
However, with the powerful strength shown by Gao Xuan, it is reasonable for him to occupy a star field, as long as Gao Xuan can sort out the relationship with the Golden Family.
Although Xiao Jun had his doubts, he could no longer show hesitation at this point. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will contact Her Excellency Helen."
Gao Xuan nodded: "I will not be responsible for the rest of the matter, you guys discuss and deal with it."
He thought for a moment and asked again, "How are Xiao Ting and the others?"
“Everything is fine.”
Xiao Jun felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it on his face.
Gao Xuan and Xiao Jun chatted for a few more sentences before closing the communication.
Helen just walked in from outside. She said to Gao Xuan from a distance: "I am so tired. The pirates are so stupid. The city they built is shabby. It's like a doghouse..."
Except for the grand Pirate King's Palace, the other buildings of the Black Flag Alliance were very backward and dilapidated. There was no atmosphere of interstellar technology at all.
Helen was extremely disgusted with all the cities on the Black Flag Star. She showed Gao Xuan a huge design drawing: "I decided to build a super city on the edge of this continent as the Queen's City!"
Helen is now full of ambition and wants to do something big in the Black Flag Star Region.
"Times have changed. Farming and operating a farm is not very meaningful. You should put your energy into cultivation."
Gao Xuan gave the Black Flag Star Region to Helen, not for her to really farm here.
The main reason is that Helen has Hercules behind her, the Poseidon star field, and can occupy the Black Flag star field.
Helen is now putting all her enthusiasm into construction, which is putting the cart before the horse.
As the level of armed conflict increases, the accumulation of low-end forces does not make much sense.
What really matters is your own strength.
Helen didn't take it seriously, "Anyway, you are here, just protect me."
"I'm still waiting for you to grow up quickly and be my helper."
Gao Xuan said: "You can't be so lazy. I have to teach you a lesson."
Gao Xuan was not just talking. His spear was as sharp as a dragon, killing Helen so badly that she threw away her armor and begged for mercy...
However, this kind of education seems to have no effect.
Helen's little face was flushed, and her bright blue eyes were full of tenderness. She lay on Gao Xuan's arms, looking satisfied and comfortable.
Gao Xuan realized that this was not going to work, as he still had high hopes for Helen.
The Sea Emperor's Halberd is a top-level divine weapon. Although it does not have any special power of laws, holding the Sea Emperor's Halberd can exempt one from many powers of laws. This alone is powerful enough.
The Poseidon Halberd can harness the endless source power of the sea of power, and is a first-class practical weapon.
Now Helen had no sense of crisis at all, and was complacent at only level 16. In the upcoming conflict, level 20 was a threshold.
Gold warriors below level 20 can only serve as cannon fodder and cannot play any decisive role.
Gao Xuan used soul chains to connect Helen's soul and established a virtual battle world.
The huge spiritual power and exquisite skills make the construction of the virtual illusion extremely real. Because all the information directly points to Helen's soul, the trial battle is meaningful.
No matter how realistic the virtual Skynet is, it is difficult to simulate source power, and it is even more difficult to simulate changes in spiritual power.
In the spiritual world constructed by Gao Xuan, Helen was repeatedly ravaged.
Helen had originally thought of it as a game, but after being beaten up repeatedly by Gao Xuan without mercy, she also lost her temper. After all, she was a gold warrior and she had to save face.
Helen, who had become serious, finally made some progress. However, she still could not last more than three moves under Gao Xuan's sword.
After being killed hundreds of times in a row, Helen was so aggrieved that she almost cried. But she was proud by nature and refused to admit defeat or show weakness no matter what.
Gao Xuan was not polite either. It was better to be abused by him than by the enemy.
Besides, Helen still has great potential to be developed. Such abuse is very good for her.
The time in the soul world is completely different from that in the outside world. One minute in the outside world is equivalent to half a day in the illusion created by Gao Xuan.
Helen did not have an accurate concept of time in the illusion, but in the process of being killed repeatedly, she clearly felt exhausted at the spiritual level.
Even with the endless source of power provided by the Sea Emperor's Halberd, it is impossible to relieve the fatigue at the spiritual level.
Gao Xuan extracted spirituality from the demon's relics, crushed the impurities with the God-Destroying Vortex, and restored it to the most original spirituality to provide to Helen's soul.
In order to improve the efficiency of training, Gao Xuan brought Bai Yutang along.
Most of the huge spiritual energy was transferred to Bai Yutang. Through the fierce trial in the illusion, Bai Yutang's spiritual power also increased rapidly.
Bai Yutang is different from Helen, she is a pure spiritual life. As long as Gao Xuan provides enough spiritual energy, she can quickly upgrade.
The battle in the spiritual illusion also tempered Gao Xuan's spiritual strength and allowed him to have a deeper understanding of his own strength.
Bai Yutang made the most progress. Under Gao Xuan's high pressure, her combat awareness increased rapidly. She also had the endless spiritual energy provided by Gao Xuan.
On the third day, Bai Yutang broke through the golden limit and reached the sixteenth level.
By the time the ten-day spiritual illusion trial was over, Bai Yutang had already risen to level 18. This was mainly because she was a special spiritual life that could absorb spiritual energy to the maximum extent.
Helen was much worse, but she also rose one level, reaching level 17. She had a huge improvement in all aspects, especially in combat awareness, and was completely different from ten days ago.
The most important thing is that during Helen's continuous abuse, her soul and the Poseidon Spear have developed a deeper connection.
According to Gao Xuan's estimation, Helen has no pressure against Qin Xuan, the Dragon Abyss Sword. She can at least hold her own against the upper-level gold sword for a while, and will not be defeated in one blow.
In fact, the Helens were too weak. Otherwise, with the Sea Emperor Halberd, the Helens could fight against the Super Gold.
Gao Xuan waited for ten days, but no strong men from the Qin family showed up. There was no movement from other families either.
Several major families knew that he was in the Black Flag Star Region, but no one came. Obviously, the other party did not want to take any risks.
Seeing that the time was up, Gao Xuan connected to the dark web and entered the Momen Temple.
The other eight sages have already arrived, but the position of the third sage is vacant.
Seeing Gao Xuan appear, the other sages all looked at him.
Gao Xuan was wearing a sage's robe but no mask. He sat on the seventh sage's throne with a faint smile on his face.
The looks of many sages were somewhat complicated, but no one spoke.
Nuwa stood in the center of the hall and clapped her hands: "Everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
This sentence also made several sages turn their attention to the vacant seat of the third sage.
The third sage did not come, but Nuwa said that everyone was present.
It is already very clear that the Third Sage is the Black Flag King!
The looks of the many sages when they looked at Gao Xuan became even more complicated.
