"Dear passengers, we'll soon be arriving at the final stop on this journey—East Dragon Star. Please take all your personal belongings and disembark in an orderly fashion!"
The captain's voice echoed over the intercom.
"So that's East Dragon Star, the greatest Cave Heaven Blessed Land among humanity?"

"This is East Dragon Star?"
Fang Yuan glanced outside and saw a dark red planet looming into view against the vast, pitch-black cosmos.
There wasn't a hint of green. Instead, the place seemed bleak and harsh, like some backwater wasteland of desert and barren hills.
"Oh, heavens... Shouldn't the gathering place of all the Cultivation Universities be blessed with spiritual energy, with Cave Heaven Blessed Lands everywhere?"
Huang Tianba wailed.
"Haha... Kid, do you know what spiritual energy really is? No matter how much energy a planet contains, how could it compare to the boundless cosmos?"
A burly, bearded man in the aisle heard him and burst out laughing. "According to research into the Scientific Cultivation Method, the spiritual energy used in ancient cultivation actually came from cosmic radiation! Of course, it isn't pure radiation. The atmosphere and the planet itself play a part, too. Broadly speaking, cosmic rays undergo mysterious changes in the atmosphere, then combine with substances on the Ancestral Star to form the basic structure of spiritual energy!"
"And now, after who knows how much effort, the Alliance has found a planet like this. Its atmosphere is thin, but its gravity is ten times that of the Ancestral Star. Measurements show that its spiritual energy—or, to put it another way, its Cultivation energy concentration—is a hundred times that of the Ancestral
