If you die, I will be able to inherit your cultivation.

Zhou Ming began to read through the entries one by one, when suddenly his gaze fixed on something.

Reports indicate that the Federation's large warships are equipped with a device capable of tearing open wormholes and traversing long distances in space.

Once activated, that thing can traverse dozens of great worlds in a very short time.

It is many times more powerful than a regular interdimensional teleportation array.

Zhou Ming was overjoyed and quickly began searching for this type of warship.

But after he finished reading the introduction to the warship and its equipment, he frowned.

That thing is an absolute weapon of war in the Federation, and it is under extremely strict control. Not to mention getting close to it, even accessing related information requires extremely high privileges.

Moreover, that wormhole generator is not something one person can operate.

To get it started, the entire fleet needs to cooperate.

Some people are responsible for stabilizing the spatial coordinates, some are responsible for infusing psionic energy, and others are responsible for calibrating the course.

If any link is missing, it won't open.

Another thing is that this thing consumes a lot of spirit stones.

Spirit stones are not a problem; Zhou Ming has plenty.

The key question is, where do we get the personnel for this ship?

Zhou Ming stood in the cave for a long time, thinking of several countermeasures, but he rejected them all.

Seizing warships is unrealistic. Even if you could seize warships, you couldn't seize the people. And even if you did manage to seize the people, given the Federation's methods, these people probably wouldn't serve him.

Even infiltrating the fleet is out of the question. Since warships are crucial weapons of war, how could anyone be allowed to infiltrate them? And even if someone did manage to get in, so what?

Without orders from the Federal Parliament, these fleets cannot move an inch.

Zhou Ming rubbed his temples and cursed inwardly.

The loopholes in this federation were harder to exploit than he had imagined.

After letting out a long breath, Zhou Ming sat in the cave for a while before turning his attention back to the nine black dragon eggs.

The Dragon Clan has a deep foundation within the Federation, and perhaps they can find a more secure path by leveraging the strength of these little ones.

Those nine black dragon eggs were taken away by the Federation several years ago.

More than two years ago, Zhou Ming had already sensed their successive births.

Each of the nine cubs contained Zhou Ming's purest primordial spirit.

Zhou Ming did not retain any memories among those divided souls back then.

So after those little ones hatched, their minds were clear, like newborn babies, and they acted entirely on their bloodline and instincts, without any foreign thoughts mixed in.

Unless Zhou Ming actively guides them, they are just nine independent black dragon cubs, having nothing to do with him, their master.

Zhou Ming did this because he was worried that the bloodlines of these nine little ones might change if they stayed in the Qiankun Pearl Immortal Realm for too long.

They feared that once people discovered the nine children's extraordinary talent, they would investigate them using various means.

But now, these little guys are clear-headed, and even if someone investigates, they will only think about the dragon bloodline.

They would never doubt Zhou Ming's pure consciousness, which had long since merged with them.

This arrangement is the safest and most discreet.

This is exactly the effect Zhou Ming wanted.

You could try to see how those little guys are doing now.

Has it transformed into a dragon, or is it still a member of the Ink Dragon clan?

Zhou Ming focused his mind and sensed, but deep within his primordial spirit he could only detect a faint connection, unable to link them across several great worlds.

Zhou Ming found out from the AI ​​that most of the members of the Federal Dragon Clan lived in the Water Blue Great World of the Five Elements Great World.

It was an extremely special world, where it was said that over 90% of the land was a vast ocean, with only a few scattered pieces of land.

As a fourth-level citizen, Zhou Ming could apply to visit the Blue World.

However, just as the person in charge of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce said, there are many restrictions once you go there, and you can't move around freely at all.

However, Zhou Ming didn't take these restrictions too seriously.

He didn't come here to cause trouble; he just wanted to get closer to the nine little ones and connect with them through his primordial spirit.

If all else fails, he can simply change his identity once he arrives at his destination.

Without any hesitation, he immediately used his AI to apply for a teleportation array to the Blue Water World.

The world under the Federation's rule is connected by teleportation arrays of all sizes.

Citizens at level four or above can travel there by paying a substantial deposit and stating their intention to go.

Zhou Ming filled in "experience" in the application reason section and filled in some identity information as required.

But when it came time to pay the deposit, he ran into a problem.

He has no federal currency.

He had no shortage of spirit stones, as he had plenty in his Qiankun Pearl, but the deposit had to be paid through the AI, which only accepted Federal Currency and did not accept spirit stones.

Seeing this, Zhou Ming turned around and left the cave. In a few leaps, he arrived at Lingxiao City in the center of the Lingxu Continent.

Today, Lingxiao City has been transformed into a completely modern metropolis.

The tall buildings stand like a forest, layer upon layer, almost blocking out half the sky.

Aircraft shuttled through the area, and people of all races came and went on the streets.

After watching the commotion for a while, Zhou Ming headed toward the nearest federal bank.

The bank's interior was extremely spacious, filled with gleaming alloys and soft light curtains.

Zhou Ming walked to the counter, and without saying a word, took out several thousand mid-grade spirit stones and asked to exchange them for Federal currency.

The staff who received him seemed to be used to the way cultivators exchanged spirit stones for currency.

She only glanced at him a few more times before quickly completing the formalities for him.

In Zhou Ming's AI, a very long string of numbers quickly appeared, amounting to at least several hundred million.

He didn't look at it much and paid the deposit on the spot.

The money had just been transferred out, and he hadn't even stepped out of the bank when the words "Approval Approved" popped up on his smart device.

Zhou Ming was somewhat surprised.

The efficiency of this federation is indeed far superior to that of cultivation sects.

After leaving the bank, Zhou Ming walked along the long street.

The flashing lights on both sides of the street made his face appear to be in and out of focus.

Zhou Ming arrived at the location of the teleportation array not long after he started walking.

Unlike other parts of the city, this place doesn't have those towering metal buildings; instead, it's a cluster of low palaces.

Although the palaces were not tall, they were built in a solemn and dignified manner, with intricate spiritual patterns carved on their outer walls, from which faint spatial fluctuations could be heard.

As Zhou Ming walked into the lobby, a staff member in a crisp uniform glanced at him and then spoke routinely.

"Connect the AI ​​to the lobby system."

Zhou Ming had never handled this thing before, so he could only glance at the people next to him out of the corner of his eye.

One by one, the people walked to the front of the stage and placed their palms on a silver-white machine next to the staff.

Zhou Ming followed suit and placed his hand on it as well.

The moment his palm touched the surface, a prompt suddenly appeared in his mind's AI.

"An external device has been detected requesting to connect to the AI. Do you agree?"

Zhou Ming silently said "agree" to himself.

The AI ​​screen flickered slightly and then went silent.

Immediately afterwards, the staff member said without even looking up.

"Teleportation array number three. Go there yourself. The teleportation fee will be deducted from your deposit."

After saying that, she ignored Zhou Ming and turned to greet the next person.

Zhou Ming didn't mind and followed the signs in the hall toward teleportation array number three.

A side hall with a large "three" written on the door. Five or six people were already sitting inside.

Some were resting with their eyes closed, while others were talking in hushed tones.

Zhou Ming found a chair against the wall and sat down, following the example of the others, and waited quietly.

This wait lasted for more than two hours.

Once ten people had gathered inside the hall, a staff member came in and led them to a huge teleportation array at the back.

The teleportation array was several times larger than many of the interdimensional arrays Zhou Ming had seen.

The staff didn't say much, just had ten people stand in the formation, and then activated the formation.
