Lan Ya looked at Ning Cheng sympathetically and continued, “I’ve heard of the Leland Star River, it’s considered one of the weaker places in this part of the starry sky. There are rarely any outstanding people coming out of this place, and it is much worse than the neighbouring Kun Zhuo Star River. With the blue coins you have on you now, if you want to cross the star river, that is simply impossible.
Even if you had enough blue coins, your cultivation level would not allow you to cross the star river. If you want to go back to your original void, there is only one way, find a place in the Leland Star River and slowly cultivate, or one day you too can become a Star Lord. At that time, you will be able to go back.”
“What realm can one normally become a Star Lord? And what is the realm behind Star Gathering?” Ning Cheng’s nails were embedded in his palm, he was definitely not willing to stay in such an unbelievably strange place.
Lan Ya looked at Ning Cheng’s hand that was clenched into a fist and said with a dark sigh, “After Star Gathering there are the three realms of Star River, the Star Bridge Realm, the Immortality Realm and the Heavenly Destiny Realm. Only after fusing the Star Wheel to form a Star Bridge can one advance to the Star Bridge Realm. It is only when a Star Bridge realm practitioner can cultivate a great divine ability, as there is a constant source of starry sky Yuan Power.
After the Star Bridge is fully fused, having the Great Divine Aptitude allows the torso to be reborn. This does not require any spiritual objects at all, as long as one’s cultivation level reaches this level and the Yuan Shen is undying, one is almost immortal, hence the name Star River Immortality Realm. Anyone who completes the Immortality Realm can glimpse a glimpse of their destiny, and this realm is called the Star River Heavenly Destiny Realm, and is the highest of the three realms of the Star River.”
Ning Cheng sighed, “Then is the Star River King a Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator?”
Lan Ya looked at the endless void for a long time before shaking her head, “No. Even if one has an immortal body and has glimpsed a glimpse of one’s destiny, one still cannot control one’s own destiny. So after the Heavenly Destiny realm there is the Three Realms of Destiny, a destiny that is not controlled by oneself, but by the Heavenly Dao. Only those who have stepped into the Heavenly Destiny Three Realms of the Heavenly Position Realm are qualified to become Star River Kings.”
Ning Cheng fell completely silent, he possessed a more powerful chance than others, but he also possessed the same greatest disadvantage. That was that he had a tougher time than others every time he advanced, and that was even with sufficient cultivation resources provided.
He was not the son of any star lord, nor did he have an old father who was a Star River King, all he could rely on was merely himself.
“You have good qualifications, and the nearest star-land here is Leiya Star. Cultivating on a star planet like this is much faster than if you were to cultivate on an ordinary cultivation continent. Perhaps in another one or two hundred years, you can also succeed in Nirvana and become a Numinous Star cultivator with a Star Wheel. And another thing, if you stay in Leland Star River to cultivate, no one will know about you.” Lan Ya was not bad and kept comforting Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng understood what Lan Ya meant when she said that if he stayed at Leland Star River to cultivate and killed the Red Clothed Duke, he would not be known by that Red Clothed Duke’s old man at Kun Zhuo Star River.
This was a consolation prize of sorts, and as for Lan Ya mentioning his good qualifications for the second time, Ning Cheng did not care. He himself did not know what his qualifications were anymore, the Xuanhuang Pearl could improve his Spiritual Root Qualification, something Ning Cheng had known for a long time. After so many years had passed, to what extent his qualifications had been raised now, he was not sure. As for what Lan Ya said about advancing to Nian Xing cultivator in a couple of hundred years, Ning Cheng had never thought of it that way.
In his mind even advancing to Numinous Star Cultivator in ten years was too slow.
“Senior Sister Lan, do you mean that you will leave Leiya Star?” Ning Cheng had already decided to stay on Planet Leiya to cultivate first, and he hoped it was to stay with Lan Ya for the time being. After all, he didn’t know anything at all about the planets in the stars, and Bluea knew much more than him.
Bluea nodded, ”My qualifications are a little better than you should be, I won’t stay on Planet Leiya. I have heard of the star lord of Planet Rhea, his name is Rhea. His cultivation is very average, and it is also luck that he can become the star lord of Planet Leiya. Sooner or later, Leiya Star will be taken away by others, but this has little to do with ordinary cultivators.
Let me remind you of two things, firstly, when you arrive at Planet Rhea you must apply for a resident status of Planet Rhea, and secondly, even if you are poorer, you must not sell yourself out. Once you become someone else’s slave, you will never be able to turn your life around. Also don’t leave Planet Rhea when you are not strong enough, otherwise you will be targeted by others as well and turned into a slave. By the way, one more thing, don’t meddle in things.”
Ning Cheng thanked him and then fell silent once again. Lan Ya did not take him away, and he knew very well in his heart that it was because his cultivation level was too poor. With his kind of cultivation following behind Lan Ya, he was dragging others back.
“Let’s go then.” As soon as Lan Ya pressed the battleship’s closing button, the black battleship’s hatch immediately closed up, bringing up a residual shadow and rushing out. She did not warn Ning Cheng to be careful with her secret, something that did not need her warning, just from the fact that Ning Cheng did not tell her how she survived the void collapse until now, she knew that this was something that Ning Cheng had done better than her.
……
As Lan Ya said Leiya Star was not very far away, Lan Ya controlled the Void Warship in just a few days and arrived at Leiya Star.
The starry sky close to Rhea’s star was no longer filled with spatial wind blades and various meteorite streams in the void, looking down in the starry sky, the whole Rhea’s star looked like a huge and incomparable grey cotton ball suspended in the vast starry sky.
Bluea controlled the battleship and stopped at the outer edge of Rhea’s atmosphere, where there was a row of luxurious buildings. Outside these buildings was a very large square, but there was nothing more than a handful of strange flying saucers or black ships.
Lan Ya did not park the battleship in the square, she let Ning Cheng step out of the battleship and then directly put it away.
After the two of them entered one of the buildings, in the great hall of this building, Ning Cheng finally saw the crowd again. This large hall was wide, but there were just as many people inside. Many of them had the same faint star wheels as Lan Ya, and some of them had more than one star wheel.
Various array displays filled the four sides of this great hall, some people were drinking spirit tea and spirit wine to rest, while others were watching the information on the array screens.
Ning Cheng did not say anything, he knew what Lan Ya was doing here. Lan Ya had told him that it was their first time on Planet Leiya and that they had to apply for a Leiya identity document before entering the planet. This was the place to apply for identity documents before entering Planet Rhea.
This was the first time Ning Cheng had seen paper identity documents outside of the planet, before that he had used jade tokens instead of these, whether he was on the Eithal Continent or in Rootless Black City.
This kind of identity document was only half the size of the various cards on Earth, yet it recorded all sorts of information and even contained a hint of a cultivator’s aura in it. This paper was also made of some unknown material, and was several times harder than the material used for black coins.
After learning that the document for long-term residence in Leiya City required 100 million blue coins, Ning Cheng and Lan Ya could only settle for the second best, and the two of them applied for a document for temporary residence in Leiya City. This kind of document only cost 100 million black coins, and many of the perks were not available to them, and there was also a time limit.
……
After entering Leiya Star, Bluea took Ning Cheng into Haibo City. Haibo City was only a medium-sized city on Planet Leiya, and there were countless such cities on a planet like Planet Leiya. These cities were all managed by ordinary city lords, and these city lords were responsible to domain lords, who were responsible to star lords. It is possible for a domain lord to manage several or even dozens of such ordinary cities.
The city lord of Haibo City was Evelyn, but this had nothing to do with the two of them, Ning Cheng and Lan Ya. They had just arrived at Haibo City and what they needed was to find a place to settle down.
After entering Haibo City, Bluea acted calmly and was not surprised.
But Ning Cheng was shocked beyond belief in his heart, he clearly felt that the spirit source here was more than several times denser than the Yixing Continent, and could even be compared to the spirit veins. What shook Ning Cheng even more was that the Spiritual Source here was indeed as Lan Ya had said, completely different from the Spiritual Veins of Spirit Stones.
Ning Cheng recalled what Lan Ya had said to him earlier, ‘You are only at the seventh level of cultivation of the Cultivation Tripod, you can easily purchase spirit stones in Leiya Star. You can use spirit stones to cultivate before you have Nirvana. Even if you use spirit stones to cultivate, it should be easier for you to advance in a place like this where the rules of heaven and earth are countlessly stronger than those of a cultivation planet. When you complete your domain realm, cross the Nirvana Tribulation and transform your true essence into starry sky Yuan Power, you will be able to absorb starry sky Yuan Qi directly.”
However, Ning Cheng had a feeling that he didn’t need to cross the Nirvana Tribulation to transform his true essence at all, he could absorb the starry sky spiritual energy here right now to cultivate.
Starry Sky Spiritual Energy was also called Starry Sky Yuan Qi, and some people even directly called it Star Yuan.
Ning Cheng reckoned that it had something to do with his own Xuan Huang Wu Xiang, and he did not tell Lan Ya about it. When it came to matters involving the Xuanhuang Pearl, he would not tell anyone but his closest relatives.
Apart from the shock that the Starry Sky Spirit Source gave Ning Cheng, the environment here gave Ning Cheng just as much of a shock. If he did not know clearly that this place was countless billions of miles away from Earth, he would have even suspected that this was one of the cities of Earth.
The spacious streets were lined with high-rise buildings. All sorts of streamlined energy vehicles walked along the streets, and many of the signs were not array energy displays at all, but were truly similar to electricity as this energy source.
There were occasional small flying magic treasures crossing in the air, although there were not many of them over the city compared to the vehicles on the ground. Not only that, but on both sides of the streets there were all sorts of advertising signs. ji yards, casinos, commercial buildings, gladiatorial arenas and so on were all over the place, all bright and shiny things.
In any case, the technological civilisation here is also much more powerful than on Earth.
Seeing Ning Cheng watching the flying magic treasures above the city and the billboards on both sides, Lan Ya explained, “Those who can fly in the air here are people of status and identity, so it’s not something that can be done just by having money. Also if you don’t particularly need it, I suggest that you don’t go to places like the Double Cultivation Institute and the casino and gladiatorial arena.”
