Ship Cultivators' Expedition
As Wang Xuan left Ancheng and walked along the road in the suburbs, he pondered, feeling as if he were out of step with the times. Walking in the End of the Supernatural Era, he felt a chill in the air as the myth came to an end.
Currently, he is not affected and can still advance through the levels, but he has a feeling that the Extraordinary Destruction will most likely affect him in the end.
He looked up at the sky, but there were no stars or moon, only boundless darkness, which gave him a strong sense of oppression. If one day even he was violently impacted and his cultivation level dropped, how serious would the problem be?
"There's no need to be hesitant or anxious. Even if the extraordinary dream in your heart the Vanished and the myth is gone, it's not a big deal. Life goes on..."
He returned to his residence and handed over the Earth Immortal Spring, herbs, and Secret Treasures he carried to Qing Mu, asking him to take a look and keep what he could use and sell what he couldn't.
Although his beliefs remained unwavering, he had to prepare himself. Even Huang Ming, Zhou Qinghuang, and others were so down-to-earth, striving to integrate into modern life. How could he, as a modern person, remain detached from worldly affairs?
"I'll do some research later and keep an eye out for any good investment opportunities." Qing Mu understood his current situation and feelings.
Wang Xuan greeted Chen Yongjie, indicating that he was going to use the warship.
When he returned from the New Star, he brought back a total of three warships. Before entering the depths of space, Old Zhong and Zhao Qinghan's father, Zhao Zejun, each gave him a large warship.
Earlier, during the battle between the New Star and the creatures behind the Great Curtain, he used the Earth Immortal Spring to Extend Life in exchange for a small to medium-sized warship.
After returning to his Old Earth, he lent all his belongings to the relevant departments because he simply couldn't afford to maintain them himself. Not to mention anything else, just the cost of keeping them at the spaceship base and the normal maintenance alone was astronomical every day.
"Are you going to cross the starry sky to go to the secret realm?" Chen Yongjie instantly knew his purpose: to pick up Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin.
"Yes, keep your promise and bring them back." Wang Xuan nodded. That old fox had broken his promise, so he had to go in person.
The reason we didn't set off before was because we weren't strong enough. Based on the existing fragments, we can infer that the black fox was at least at the level of an Earth Immortal at the time.
Because, when it was talking to the people of Yuhua, Euler, and Heluo Three Stars, it was very concerned about whether there were still Earth Immortals and Master of Nurturing Life in the present world. Looking back now, it had repeatedly made indirect inquiries.
Over the next few days, Wang Xuan made some necessary preparations, drank tea with Huang Ming, Kong Yun, Zhou Qinghuang and others, and learned about some of the situation in the secret realm through the Transcendent Immortals behind the Great Curtain.
"I'll go with you!" Chen Yongjie made arrangements for the warship.
Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "No need. I'll be gone for at least a few days, and if something unexpected happens, it could be several months. You're going to be a father, so don't cause any trouble. Just spend some quality time with Sister Guan."
Chen Yongjie longed to revisit the secret place with him, where the two had fought side by side in a bloody battle, but he was also worried about Guan Lin and the unborn child.
"I'll go with you. After all, I'm the deputy head of our Ship Cultivation lineage," Qing Mu said. His understanding of spaceships was at an expert level.
He has a proven track record, having orchestrated the accident of Olesha, the Number One Person in the New Arts Domain, and also bombarded various extraordinary individuals on behalf of Wang Xuan in outer space, striking ruthlessly and accurately.
In the end, Wang Xuan did not refuse Qing Mu and chose the small to medium-sized warship because there were too few people going and there was no need for "extravagance".
"Mom, Dad, I'm going on a long trip and won't be back for a while. Do you want to go to New Star? I can give you a ride on my way." He said to his parents on the phone.
There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by various admonitions, saying that the world was not peaceful and that running around like this might be dangerous, and that he should be careful.
His parents did not stop him; they just sighed, "A son grows up and is no longer under his father's control."
Wang Xuan nodded, indicating that he would be careful and would not provoke trouble. He could sense that even his usually carefree parents were somewhat worried, which showed that this momentous period of great change had affected everyone.
"Ship repair crew, set out on the expedition! Slay all Demonic Creatures and Monsters, monsters, and evil spirits who dare to defy the wind and die! Leave not a blade of grass alive!" Qing Mu declared solemnly.
This brought a smile to Wang Xuan's face, which had been somewhat serious lately. Old Qing's youthful spirit was infecting him.
It must be said that after Qing Mu became a top-tier Great Grandmaster, his face did look younger, changing from around forty years old to about thirty-three or thirty-four. And that's just his appearance; inside, he's even more youthful and full of vitality.
Call out!
A medium-sized warship streaked across the sky, entered outer space, and sped toward Proxima Centauri b, the location of the wormhole that the Old Earth used to access the outside world.
The evil dragon does indeed roam the Dark Void outside the Old Earth, but it cannot keep an eye on Wang Xuan at all times. Moreover, the deep space is so vast that even if it is extremely powerful, it cannot know everything, let alone block the path of outer space.
In fact, Wang Xuan had long been prepared for battle, fully armed, knowing that the evil dragon was in outer space. If they encountered it, there was nothing to say, they would fight first.
The warship sailed away, successfully passing through the wormhole and emerging from the stargate of the Deep Space Eighth Star. This place was near New Star, but it was still just a transit station.
Instead of going to New Star, they traveled to a place in New Star space called Deep Space Nineteen Stars, where wormholes connect to the cosmic space where the Secret Land is located.
These wormholes outside the New Star have specific numbers, such as the eighth star, the nineteenth star, etc., which shows that there are quite a few galaxies connected to them!
Everything went smoothly. The Ship Cultivation lineage used the Nineteen Stars as a route to leave the universe where the New Star was located and appeared in a vast and boundless deep starry sky.
"I'm here again!" Wang Xuan sat in the control room, staring at the big screen, feeling the vastness of the Great Universe and the insignificance of the stars. He deeply realized his own insignificance. Compared with the Great Universe, a person's life is not even worth a speck of dust.
Qing Mu said, "Even Transcendent Immortals, if they don't use wormholes and just fly, they will never be able to fly from the Old Earth to here, even if they die."
This was the first time he had come to such a far place. It felt like he had left his original universe and arrived in a place similar to a parallel universe.
In this universe, galaxies like the Milky Way are no longer observable, and those familiar star systems have long since disappeared.
In fact, during the New Star phase, the Old Earth was already unobservable, far beyond the scope of familiar star charts.
"Correct course, target, that Brown Star ahead!" Wang Xuan said. It was a planetary base outside the Secret Land, which could provide supplies.
"This is..." His expression quickly changed. Brown Star was in a mess, the protective shield of the surface base was already broken, and there were huge beast claw marks.
There are several small, broken spaceships on the surface. The once densely packed warships have all left and withdrawn from this place.
Clearly, this base had been attacked and was deserted. Although its defenses were breached, the casualties were probably not significant, as no large spaceships or similar equipment were left behind.
Qing Mu said, "It's also possible that after the myths descended into the Real World, the zaibatsu fled to the Depths of Starry Sky, summoning away their fleets and other ships here as well."
Wang Xuan nodded and said, "Our spaceship has enough energy, so we don't need to land here to resupply for a while. Let's go straight to the secret place. It's not far away; we can already see it."
This medium-sized warship streaked across the starry sky, approaching directly the Supernatural Planet known as Midi.
This chapter is a bit short, so I'm posting it first. I'll slowly write the rest to make up for the word count. I'm increasingly feeling like I can go back to updating early in the morning, which is a way of indirectly adjusting to daytime.
