Bebeth

As time passed, the battle for the Wood Tooth Crystals came to an end. Most people had gained nothing. There were simply too many people and far too few Wood Tooth Crystals; Bebeth had only thrown out a few dozen in total, nowhere near enough to divide among everyone.

"We'll talk when we get back."

Luo Feng returned soon after. Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Yue Ming cut him off. Then the group took an intelligent fighter jet back to Limit Martial Hall headquarters. In the living room on the top floor of the spaceship-shaped building, the four of them sat together.

"Luo Feng, did you obtain the inheritance?"

The moment Yue Ming finished speaking, a virtual figure appeared on Luo Feng's shoulder. It was Bebeth.

"Kid, how did you know about Meteor Star? And how did you know there was an inheritance beneath Mist Island?"

"Brother Ming, this is Bebeth, an intelligent life-form. It started following me after I obtained the inheritance."

Luo Feng introduced it.

"Bebeth, right? It's not like I've never been to Mist Island. I remember that the last time I went there, I had clearly harvested all the Spirits of Plants and Trees. Yet later, Luo Feng discovered a huge patch of them on Mist Island. Even an idiot would know there was something strange about the island. If I'm not mistaken, those Spirits of Plants and Trees were your handiwork, weren't they?"

"As for how I know so much about Meteor Star, it's because I once encountered a fortuitous opportunity and obtained a Mechanical Race Spaceship. There were quite a few cultivation resources and some secret information inside it, including mentions of Meteor Star..."

"What kind of Mechanical Race Spaceship was it?"

"A spaceship shaped somewhat like a pyramid."

"I see. No wonder you know so much about Meteor Star. So you obtained the inheritance of that Mechanical Race Immortal..."

"I wouldn't say I obtained an inheritance. I only got a spaceship and some cultivation resources; there was nothing else. Perhaps that Mechanical Race Immortal died too suddenly and had no time to make arrangements for what came after. But because of that, I was able to obtain the spaceship so easily."

"You got lucky, kid. If I'm not mistaken, there wasn't even an intelligent life-form inside that spaceship, was there? That Mechanical Race Immortal was actually killed by my master..."

Only through Bebeth's explanation did they learn that, back then, its master Hu Yanbo had fought Demon Hand King over a treasure. Having misjudged his opponent's strength, Hu Yanbo was severely wounded and only avoided being killed on the spot by relying on the Meteor Star spaceship.

Demon Hand King initially pursued Hu Yanbo, using a soul-type secret technique to attack him through the Meteor Star spaceship. After confirming that Hu Yanbo would certainly die, he turned back to continue fighting for the treasure. Hu Yanbo's second disciple had even been killed on the spot when his soul was annihilated by the soul secret technique.

Perhaps seeing that Hu Yanbo was grievously wounded and on the verge of death, a Mechanical Race Immortal followed the Meteor Star spaceship all the way to Earth, tempted by both military merits and treasures.

Yet when that Mechanical Race Immortal entered the crashed Meteor Star spaceship, he discovered that there were still nine experts of the same level inside—the nine Soul Slaves of Hu Yanbo.

Moreover, Hu Yanbo was a Marquis Immortal and was proficient in soul-type attack secret techniques. With Hu Yanbo and his immortal servants joining forces, that Mechanical Race Immortal was almost instantly slain.

This caused the Mechanical Race Immortal to die far too suddenly to make any arrangements afterward. That was also why Luo Feng had been able to obtain the Mechanical Race Spaceship so easily in the original story.

As for Hu Yanbo, he had already been gravely wounded and near death. After killing the Mechanical Race Immortal, he was completely spent. Once he used a secret technique to conceal Earth's coordinates and arranged everything that needed arranging, he calmly died.

If Yue Ming had used some other excuse, Bebeth might have been suspicious. But since Yue Ming had obtained the inheritance of that Mechanical Race Immortal, it was perfectly normal for him to know some things about Meteor Star.

"You can have the Martialist Secret Technique inheritance of Meteor Star, but you must join Meteor Star!"

"No problem. We'll all join."

Yue Ming and the others spoke in unison. The three of them had actually discussed it long ago. Meteor Star now existed in name only, and joining it brought no disadvantages. It was merely taking on a title.

Seeing Yue Ming and the other two agree so readily, Bebeth immediately became displeased. It felt as though it had been tricked, leaving it somewhat frantic.

"Ahem, Bebeth, if Meteor Star is to grow and flourish, I can't do it alone..."

"Fine, you lot are getting off easy. Tell me about your situations, and I'll select secret techniques for you."

Persuaded by Luo Feng, Bebeth ultimately compromised. After all, it had very few choices now.

"I need a secret technique that can assist my comprehension of the Laws of Light..."

"I need a secret technique that can assist my comprehension of the Laws of Lightning..."

"Ahem, I may have quite a few requests. I need an attack secret technique for the Water Origin Laws, as well as an attack secret technique for the Space Origin Laws, and a secret technique for bodily force exertion. Bebeth, don't try to fob me off with basic secret techniques. I want a force-exertion secret technique that can reach a maximum amplification of one hundred times. Also, I don't have a Smart Optical Computer yet. Could you give me one too?"

To break through to the Immortal level, one's bodily force exertion had to reach one hundred times. Since Hu Yanbo had been able to become an Immortal, he definitely possessed a secret technique capable of a hundredfold force-exertion level.

"You certainly have a lot of demands, and you know quite a lot too. Fine! You count as one of Meteor Star's people now, so take them!"

As Yue Ming's requests grew more numerous, Bebeth's face darkened further and further. Still, it eventually gave Yue Ming a Smart Optical Computer, with all the secret techniques he needed recorded inside it.

"Thank you."

Yue Ming took off his Combat Communication Watch, put on the Smart Optical Computer, and thanked Bebeth.

"Oh, right, Bebeth. When I obtained the Mechanical Race Spaceship, I also visited Ruins No. 12. I saw a spaceship there. When you have time, go take a look with Luo Feng and see whether that spaceship can still be used. If Meteor Star wants to develop, we can't stay cooped up on Earth forever. Sooner or later, we'll have to leave Earth. It's good to prepare early."

"What did the spaceship look like?"

"You'll know once you go take a look with Luo Feng."

"Fine! We'll go when we have time."

Yue Ming had never been to Ruins No. 12, so how could he know what the spaceship looked like? But having read the original novel, he knew that spaceship was intact. Luo Feng had relied on it to enter the universe.

"I'm going back to enter seclusion and study the secret techniques. Contact me if anything comes up."

Now that he had obtained the secret techniques, Yue Ming did not stay long at Limit Martial Hall headquarters. He returned directly to Ning An Residential Area to enter seclusion.

PS: I reread the original work and couldn't find where the Mechanical Race Spaceship came from. It might have belonged to one of Hu Yanbo's servants, but it was more likely an enemy's. After all, if it had belonged to Hu Yanbo's servants, Bebeth should have had control over it.
