Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 727 Departure! (Seeking monthly votes)
A few moments later, the others logged off one after another.

Of all the people in the Imperial Star Palace, only Lin Qi and Yao Chen remained.

Yao Chen looked at Lin Qi and earnestly instructed him:
"Lin Qi, our Primordial Holy Land's spaceship, the Xuan Kun, will arrive on Blue Star in two days."

"Because the Time-Space Holy Land, the Immortal Holy Land, the Myriad Star Academy, the Desolate Martial Hall, plus our Primordial Holy Land, there are a total of five major forces in the Tianyuan Star Region."

"So we will travel together to the Tianyuan Star Region, and then split up to travel to different star systems!"

"This journey to the Tianyuan Star Region is long, measured in light-years. Even the most advanced spaceships will need a year to reach it."

"You'd better prepare enough cultivation resources during the voyage."

Lin Qi nodded. He purchased a full 200 source energy crystals, enough for his cultivation on the road.

Then Yaochen reminded him again:

"By the way, I was once a member of the Primordial Holy Land."

I need to tell you in advance.

"On the way, since it will take a long time, the person in charge of the Holy Land will arrange for you to enter the virtual world in advance."

"This is the headquarters of the Primordial Holy Land in the virtual world!"

"The entire virtual world can be described as a miniature version of the Holy Land headquarters, allowing you to experience it in advance."

"At the same time, you can also enjoy the resources inherited from the holy site."

"For example, you will all receive a different number of cultivation points."

“These points can be compared to the special currency of our Primordial Holy Land.”

"As the champion and a star-level genius, you will receive a lot of points, which can be converted into hundreds of millions or even billions of Deep Space Coins."

"These cultivation points can be used to purchase any cultivation manuals, weapons, technological products, resources, potions, and rare and precious materials available from the Primordial Holy Land..."

"So there's no need to save the money you have now. Buy resources first and convert them into your own strength on the way."

"Once we enter the three holy lands, there are various ways to obtain cultivation points."

After hearing this, Lin Qi expressed his gratitude:
"I am very grateful for the dean's guidance; otherwise, I would have gone astray."

What Dean Yaochen said was all extremely important.

He didn't realize that in order to save money, he had spent all the resources on the road.

What follows is awkward and might waste a lot of time.

Yao Chen nodded and said, "You're different from other geniuses."

“The geniuses of other major powers are surrounded by countless geniuses who were once part of the nine supreme powers.”

"We have a good understanding of the situation within the nine supreme powers!"

"As for the others, I didn't say it was because they were eliminated too quickly, didn't get much in prize money, and I heard they even owed money to the Deep Space Institute."

Lin Qi shook his head after hearing this; those words were all too true.

Without money, talking is useless. On a spaceship, one can probably only practice martial arts skills in a virtual world.

Yao Chen nodded in final agreement:

"Then Lynch, see you on the spaceship."

Lynch nodded: "See you on the spaceship!"

……

In the spacious martial arts room, Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes.

My mind is still replaying today's events.

Seeing Dean Yaochen make a move today, I truly witnessed his unparalleled power.

If the fourth realm of the universe is already this powerful, then what about the Stream Master of the fifth realm of the universe? Could he easily destroy the entire solar system?

But their Earth is still too weak.

Even a Zerg Queen of the third realm of the universe could not withstand it.

More strong individuals must emerge.

Compared to the Zerg Queen of the third realm of the universe and Yao Chen of the fourth realm of the universe, he now realizes that he is still too weak.

Fortunately, these Earthlings were quite talented, and each of them was going to different factions.

As time goes by, they will become stronger and stronger.

The Blue Star civilization will also venture beyond Blue Star, grow stronger and stronger, and perhaps even change its name to the Galactic Civilization in the future.

As one of the two strongest geniuses on Blue Star, he is now at the second level of the Universe Realm, just like the Crimson Emperor.

In his view, as long as he enters the three holy lands, he might be able to surpass the Crimson Emperor in a short time.

At that time, he might become the strongest person on Earth.

The safety of Earth depends on him.

His current strength is clearly insufficient.

Perhaps only the four realms of the universe can protect the blue planet.

Everything we have now is too illusory.

There is only one title of member of the three holy lands.

If he were to offend a powerful figure at the fourth or even fifth level of the universe one day...

That title might not be so useful anymore.

"I still need to work harder to become stronger!"

"In the universe, the essence is survival of the fittest, and I must use all resources to become stronger."

"No one knows when danger will strike."

Lynch remained steadfast in his belief.

The journey to the Primordial Holy Land might take quite a while, so he could spend the money first.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and sent a message to everyone on Blue Star.

Although Jiang Tao and his group didn't have much money, they still had some.

The loan term from the Shenzhen Space Institute is relatively long, unlike the loan that you have to pay off in one lump sum.

I pay back a little each year, and I still have some money left over to spend on myself.

After giving the reminder, he opened the War House again.

He started browsing and found he still had 130 million Deep Space Coins, but he planned to keep less than 10 million.

The rest was all spent.

He now has source energy crystals, and he has been thinking about the resources he lacks.

Besides the source energy crystals, there's also the soul essence for cultivating spiritual power.

"The invention of the Soul Essence potion is truly remarkable. For every 10% increase in purity, the effect increases significantly."

"It is said to be the flagship product of the Divine Eye Starfield, sold to 108 starfields. They make a fortune just from this Soul Essence product."

Lin Qi sighed inwardly.

The dominant power in each star region not only dominates the entire star region in terms of strength, but also drives the development of the economy and technology.

They have the ability to protect their products.

"Soul marrow with 60% purity is no longer effective."

"I need to replace it with something better, that is, a soul marrow with 70% purity."

Lynch searched quickly and soon got the results.

[Item: Soul Essence (70% purity)]

Price: 100 Deepspace Coins/tube

Lynch nodded secretly; the price had doubled compared to 60% purity.

He has enough money to buy 120 bottles.

Without much thought, Lin Qi placed the order directly.

Mental strength is still very important.

His mental strength is now almost being caught up by his blood energy.

The boost from nearly 80 source energy crystals is enough to buy 80 bottles of 70% pure soul essence.

He is still too weak in terms of mental strength and physical strength.

【drop! 】

Payment successful!

[You have successfully purchased 120 bottles of 70% pure Soul Essence, totaling 1 million Deep Space Coins!]

The item you purchased is too valuable. Please proceed to the Crimson Sky Martial Arts Hall in the Imperial Capital...

Lin Qi looked at the pop-up message and nodded secretly.

Now he only had less than ten million Deep Space Coins left, just in case.

The rest of the money was spent.

It's all for the purpose of improving one's own strength.

Next, collect the Soul Essence and then head to the Primordial Holy Land.

……

The next day, in the capital city, at the headquarters of the Crimson Sky Martial Arts Hall.

In the curator's office, Lin Qi took the metal briefcase from the Red Emperor.

"These soul essences are enough for you to cultivate on your journey."

The Crimson Emperor patted Lin Qi on the shoulder and laughed.

Lin Qi also laughed and said, "Master, while we are on our way forward, the Deep Space Genius Competition of the Star Realm will begin soon."

"We'll refuel you on the spaceship."

The Crimson Emperor laughed heartily:
"Let's go, let's see the God of War off!"

"Hoohoo!!"

The two arrived outside the headquarters and saw a black dot magnified in the gray sky amidst the heavy snow.

It eventually transformed into a massive, black and silver spaceship resembling an ancient sword. Lin Qi activated his [Golden Eyes] and looked at the metal hull of the spaceship.

It was a structure he had never seen before, even more complex than the Yaochen spaceship.

That's a higher grade of metal.

The Crimson Emperor looked at the ancient sword spaceship:

"This is the Starry Sky Sword Court's spaceship. Its exterior is made of Grade A alloy, which is extremely valuable and its cost is unimaginably high."

"A small piece of it could buy our entire planet Earth."

Lin Qi nodded in agreement. The supreme power and its wealth were unfathomable.

Under their watchful eyes, the black-robed war god soared into the sky and spoke with the silver-robed, wiry man who stepped out of the spaceship.

Judging from the other party's aura alone, he is at least a peak fourth-realm martial artist of the universe level, like Yao Chen.

After a brief exchange, the black-robed God of War bowed his head, waved, and then entered the spaceship.

The silver-robed man looked at the Crimson Emperor, and Lin Qi and the other man nodded in greeting before entering the spaceship.

Lin Qi and his companion watched as the spaceship nimbly soared into the sky and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"It's over!" the Crimson Emperor said. "Most of you will be leaving tomorrow."

"Lin Qi, you need to be prepared too."

Lin Qi nodded and began returning to his fighter jet, heading back to Tianhai City.

……

In the afternoon, the temperature in Tianhai City began to rise, and the sun started to appear, making it feel warm and cozy.

The Lynch family, rarely able to gather together, sat in the courtyard.

They sat directly on the crimson blade spaceship and sunbathed together.

Lin Qi hugged his younger brother and sister and said:
"Xiaoxiao, Zhaoyue, your brother is going to the Primordial Holy Land tomorrow and won't be able to stay with you anymore."

Lin Zhaoyue hugged Lin Qi's arm, her eyes brimming with tears as she asked reluctantly:

"Brother, will we ever see each other again?"

Lin Xiao also hugged Lin Qi's arm and said:
"Brother, I don't want you to leave!"

Lin Qi laughed and said, "We'll meet again, in the virtual world of the universe!"

"The virtual world is almost the same as reality!"

Lin Zhen, the father, also laughed:
"Don't worry, once your brother leaves, you can log into the virtual network and meet him."

Previously, Lin Qi's family did not allow Lin Xiao and Lin Zhaoyue to use the virtual reality device because they were afraid that they would become addicted to it.

Now, in order to meet with Lin Qi, he has to use a virtual bracelet.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao and Lin Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qi instructed, "I'm leaving now. You must also work hard in your cultivation."

"The future of our planet depends on you!"

Lin Xiao and Lin Zhaoyue nodded seriously.

That evening, Lin Qi's family, Jiang Tao, and Jiang Miaoyin had dinner together to see the three off.

After midnight, Lin Qi stood by the window, looking at the night sky of Blue Star.

This time it's really time to leave.

He has never left Earth since he was a child.

……

August 20, 2056 (Martial Arts Calendar)

In the morning, at the Yujing Haoting residential complex.

In the backyard of house number 5.

A figure descended from the sky, tall and handsome, none other than Sun Sheng, dressed in a golden robe.

There were also quite a few people standing in the courtyard.

Many Sky-Soaring Realm martial artists from Blue Star have already arrived.

The burly Mountain and River King, dressed in a silver robe, patted Lin Qi on the shoulder and said:
“Lin Qi, once you go to the Primordial Holy Land, I believe that with your talent, you will become one of the best.”

"The best thing I've ever done in my life is becoming your grandmaster."

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Actually, you are already my second teacher."

Lin Qi looked around and saw that many of the acquaintances who had come today were there to see him off.

Teacher Zhang Cheng, Master Yue Feng, Dean Liu, Teacher Mu Hong, King of Mountains and Rivers, King of the Northern River Sword, Overlord...

"coming!"

Suddenly the Crimson Emperor spoke, and everyone looked up at the sky.

"Hoohoo!!"

Lin Qi and the others sensed a colossal object rapidly entering Earth.

They quickly revealed their true colors.

This is a streamlined behemoth resembling a "giant whale," a spaceship that is over one kilometer long and about 150 meters wide.

The surface is predominantly blue, mixed with a star-like color from different shades.

The head is flat, with clear, dazzling, and mysterious markings.

It was a circular mark divided into three layers, with the outermost layer consisting of countless stars connected by special patterns.

The second layer consists of nine stacked gears, each composed of different weapon combinations.

At the very center is a circular design composed of intricate patterns, seemingly containing the earliest mysteries of the universe.

The enormous spaceship blotted out the sky, casting a large shadow over most of the Yujing Haoting residential complex.

Countless people looked up at the colossal structure in the city and were immediately filled with awe.

"what is this?"

"It's too big. Will other civilizations attack our Earth?"

"You're overthinking it. It's probably a supreme power coming to pick up the Golden Emperor!"

"Once we enter the highest power, we will only become more powerful in the future."

"If my descendants can enter the highest power, I will die without regret."

……

"Om!!"

With a slight ripple, the hatch on the whale's belly opened.

Three figures emerged from within.

Two men and one woman.

One man was burly and strong, the other was tall and wiry, and the woman was tall and graceful with delicate features!
They wore exquisite robes of different colors, and all of them had the same mark on their chests that belonged to the Primordial Holy Land.

The three of them landed on the grass in the courtyard.

Yao Chen, who had already changed into a red robe, was the first to step forward.

Among them was a burly man, over three meters tall, with dark skin, rugged features, and a thick beard, who greeted them with a smile.
“Yaochen, this time the two of us will escort the members of the Primordial Holy Land.”

Yao Chen nodded and said, "Wilton, long time no see!"

Then he nodded and greeted the other two people.

The burly, bearded man looked around at everyone and said:

"Everyone, I am Wilton from the Primordial Holy Land. I am in charge of escorting the team to the Holy Land and will serve as the temporary captain!"

Then, the tall, beautiful woman beside her smiled and said:
"I am Minghe from Wanxing Academy."

The last one was muscular and strong, with a high nose and blue scales embedded in its arms, and its eyes were as sharp as swords.

He began, "I am Ronan from the Desolate Martial Hall!"

The three of them have finished introducing themselves!

Wilton spoke again, "Martial Artist Lynch, we should go!"

After hearing this, Lin Qi looked around, then said goodbye to his parents, younger brother, and younger sister:
"Mom and Dad, Xiaoxiao and Zhaoyue, I'm off!"

Lin Zhen and the other three waved.

"Goodbye brother!"

Lin Xiao and Lin Zhaoyue's eyes began to well up with tears, reluctant to wave goodbye.

Lynch nodded to everyone, then approached Wilton and said:
"I am Lynch!"

At the same time, Jiang Tao, Jiang Miaoyin, and Sun Sheng also stepped forward.

Jiang Tao and Sun Sheng both chose the Desolate Martial Hall, while Jiang Miaoyin chose to join the Myriad Stars Academy.

It just so happens that these two forces, along with the three holy lands, are all located in the Tianyuan Star Region.

We'll be heading to the Tianyuan Star Region together this time!

Wilton looked at Lynch, immediately flashed a hearty smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"You are Lin Qi!"

"Don't worry, with me, Wilton, here this time, you'll be fine!"

"Let's go!"

The eight people floated up, flew into the sky, and headed towards the hatch.

Lin Qi took one last look at everyone before entering the spaceship with the others.

Upon entering, one can clearly feel the spaciousness, flatness, and simplicity of the interior space!
The surrounding ship hulls are made of a special alloy, making them even harder than Yao Chen's spaceship.

As they went deeper, they came to a spacious hall.

There are a large number of smart chairs, and many people are sitting in them.

The area around the ship's hull was simulated to resemble the surrounding environment, and the outline of Tianhai City could be clearly seen.

And in the many smart seats, men and women were sitting.

For Lynch, they were all acquaintances.

Upon seeing Lin Qi enter, everyone stood up from their seats.

There were only 12 people in the entire hall. The others had powerful auras, at least at the third level of the universe realm, and seemed to be a kind of defense force.

"Lin Qi, you've finally arrived!"

Then Lorraine, with blood-red horns on his head, spoke.

Besides her, Feng Hao was also there, and he nodded and greeted Lin Qi when he saw him.

"Lorraine, Feng Hao!"

Lynch looked around and saw Byers, Samuel, Yu Miaozhen, and Yaoyu.

Lin Qi nodded, which was considered a greeting.
Wilton looked around at everyone and then said:

"All 16 members from our Lieyang Star Region who went to Tianyuan Star Region have now arrived."

"Next, we will set off for the Tianyuan Star Region!"

“Throughout the entire process, I, Wilton, served as captain, and I directed everything.”

"At the same time, we have 4 warriors at the fourth level of the universe and 36 warriors at the third level of the universe to serve as guards and protect everyone's safety."

"So, let's officially begin."

"Buzz!!"

As soon as Wilton finished speaking, the entire spaceship began to move.

Lin Qi could feel that the entire spaceship was exceptionally stable, just like standing on the ground.

He looked around at the simulated illusion, where a spaceship, resembling a giant whale, was flying into the sky at an incredibly fast speed!

Before I could even feel it, I had already rushed out of Earth.

Lynch looked up at the ceiling; it was the first time he had ever looked at his planet like this.

Just like in the footage, Blue Star is a planet that radiates a deep blue light, and about 70% of it is covered by oceans.

It is beautiful no matter how you look at it, and it contains endless vitality.

Lin Qi looked at Blue Star, his feelings complicated.

I'm almost 60 years old across two lifetimes, and this is the first time I've left this planet.
