Heaven and Earth

Blue Star.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged, and the seven cosmic forces of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements constantly intertwined and collided before his eyes, faintly forming an incredibly Illusion, hazy space.

"The Inner World created by using the mastery of the great cycle of cosmic power as its framework and foundation is far too simplistic."

Su Yuan thought to himself silently.

Through the Grey Mirror, he clearly understood countless secrets of cultivation, including Stellar Lifeform, Cosmic Saint, and even stronger beings.

That's why I have such feelings.

The sheer amount of cosmic power contained within a single world is immeasurable.

Is it merely based on the few cosmic forces within the Great Cycle of Cosmic Power?

Even if one were to create Inner World, it would still be far inferior to the real world outside.

This is also the Inner World created by the vast majority of Stellar Lifeform.

The initial range was limited to a radius of ten thousand li.

The Great Cycle of Cosmic Power mastered by Su Yuan contains seven types of cosmic power.

Therefore, the initial area of Inner World created will reach a radius of 100,000 li.

To some extent, the more complex the great cycle of cosmic power one possesses, the more cosmic power it contains.

The larger the initial size of the Inner World that is ultimately created, the more expansive it becomes.

"In the World of Divine Bodies, I used my mortal body as the foundation, devoured countless divine bodies with the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art, accommodated numerous cosmic forces in a grand cycle, controlled numerous cosmic forces in Great Cycle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and ultimately created the Inner World by mastering all the Dao within myself."

Su Primordial Spirit showed anticipation.

This path, offered by the Grey Mirror, is the most suitable and has the greatest potential for him.

If he can continue smoothly, the Inner World he opens up will be limitless, which will be of great benefit to Su Yuan's future.

"If it weren't for the World of Divine Bodies, even if I knew this method, it would be very difficult to implement it," Su Yuan said with a smile.

After all, the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art devours other late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform, and the great cycle of cosmic power it controls is something that would be considered extraordinary in reality.

It's likely that Su Yuan will attract the attention of Stellar Lifeform and even Cosmic Saint before he devours even a few late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform.

However, in the World of Divine Bodies, there is no such concern.

Whether it was the previous Shattering the Void World or the World of Divine Bodies.

They all encourage infighting among Empire Citizen players.

Su Yuan's actions against other late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform are in accordance with the rules of the World of Divine Bodies and will not be subject to external interference.

After all, when Empire Citizen die in the World of Divine Bodies, they only lose money; they don't truly perish.

"For the sake of my cultivation path, I'll have to make things difficult for those Empire Citizen players."

Su Yuan thought to himself, "Within the World of Divine Bodies, the more cosmic power a divine body contains, the heavier the price of dying once."

The reconstruction of the five or six types of cosmic power great cycle divine bodies requires one billion or even one hundred billion Canglan Coin.

Even Starry Sky Lifeform would feel the pinch of such a price.

"The Hometown Exploration Team should be back by now."

Su Yuan continued to comprehend the seven cosmic forces of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and suddenly thought to himself.

Several months ago, Su Yuan funded his Hometown Exploration Team with 4 billion Canglan Coin in exchange for 70% of the rewards they would receive upon their return from their exploration trip.

Thanks to Su Yuan's reminder, the Hometown Exploration Team will return with a harvest worth 36 billion Canglan Coin.

Based on the 70% return ratio, Su Yuan will receive a share of over 25 billion Canglan Coin.

More than 25 billion Canglan Coin? Ordinary Starry Sky Lifeform would need a long time to accumulate that amount.

Su Yuan waited several months and obtained the money without any risk, which can be described as a huge profit.

With this in mind, Su Yuan's consciousness entered the Virtual Network World and descended into the "Explorer" world.

It was the same familiar tavern. Su Yuan glanced around and headed straight for the Hometown Exploration Team's outpost.

Hometown Exploration Team's base.

Investors flocked to the team, eager to sign long-term cooperation agreements with the Hometown Exploration Team.

On two separate occasions, the Hometown Exploration Team returned with substantial gains from its Hometown Exploration Team's capabilities.

Compared to top-tier exploration teams, newly established teams like Hometown Exploration Team are more favored by investors, since top-tier teams have much larger appetites.

Hu Ta, the captain of the Hometown Exploration Team, smiled as he talked with many investors. He brought back three to four hundred billion Canglan Coin from this exploration. Even after deducting the share, he would still have about two to three billion Canglan Coin in his hands.

For a nascent Starry Sky Lifeform form, two to three billion Canglan Coin is already a huge sum of money.

"With this money, I should have no problem breaking through to the middle realm."

Hu Ta couldn't help but think to himself.

He had been stuck at the peak of the initial realm for a long time and had never been confident of breaking through. Now that he had this money, he could purchase the external aids he wanted to help him break through, and he was almost certain to succeed.

"Um?"

Just then, Hu Ta saw Su Yuan's figure appear in the distance.

"Mr. Jing?"

Hu Ta's expression changed slightly.

If he only had doubts during the last exploration, he was almost certain this time that Mr. Mirror had a deep understanding of the Desolate Star Domain.

This time, he honestly followed Su Yuan's instructions to explore, which is why he gained three to four hundred billion Canglan Coin.

"Everyone, I have to go now, let's talk another time."

Hu Ta looked at the group of investors and began to speak.

Mr. Jing is naturally far superior to these investors.

"OK."

"Captain Hu, you should consider the conditions I've proposed."

One by one, the investors got up and left.

"Mr. Mirror."

Without the slightest hesitation, Hu Ta quickly walked up to Su Yuan and said respectfully.

"Um."

Su Yuan nodded.

"Please come in."

Hu Ta immediately welcomed Su Yuan into the station.

Once the two were seated, Hu Ta spoke, "Thanks to Mr. Jing's guidance, our exploration team was able to return with a full haul this time."

Hu Ta glanced at Su Yuan cautiously.

He immediately got straight to the point. "According to the contract our exploration team signed with Mr. Jing, 70% of the harvest belongs to him."

Hu Ta knew very well that the higher the status of a person, the less they liked idle chatter and small talk. Therefore, he directly transferred 70% of the income stipulated in the contract, namely 25.2 billion Canglan Coin, into the agreed account.

"OK."

Su Yuan glanced at the payment notification and nodded slightly.

The reason he sponsored the Hometown Exploration Team for the second time was because the team leader Hu Ta, was sensible and straightforward.

"Mr. Mirror"

Hu Ta tentatively asked, "I wonder if Mr. Jing would be interested in our exploration team's next expedition?"

After Hu Ta finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and immediately added, "Sir, rest assured, our exploration team will absolutely follow your advice."

The implication was that Su Yuan told him to go east, and he would absolutely not go west.

"Next exploration."

Su Yuan glanced at Hu Ta with a half-smile, clearly understanding the other's intention to curry favor.

However, Su Yuan didn't mind. It was about the same no matter which exploration team he sponsored. Rather than that, he might as well sponsor the Hometown Exploration Team that was completely obedient to him.

As for whether Hu Ta will betray us in the future, with Grey Mirror around, Hu Ta's own thoughts are no longer important.

"This time, I'm donating 20 billion and taking 80% as a return," Su Yuan said.

"No problem," Hu Ta agreed immediately.

Based on the experience of the previous two times, the higher the share of the reward Su Yuan received, the happier Hu Ta was, because it meant that Mr. Jing had high hopes for them.

"Star map."

With a slight thought, Su Yuan saw a star map, mostly shrouded in mist, appear before him.

"Star map!"

Hu Ta's spirits lifted.

Last time, he followed Su Yuan's instructions on the star map, which is why he reaped three or four hundred billion Canglan Coin.

"I think that next time you explore this area and search this star field carefully, you might find something," Su Yuan said, marking out a star field.

"This star field?" Hu Ta immediately memorized the entire star field area that Su Yuan had drawn out.

They automatically ignored the "maybe" in Su Yuan's words and instead planned to focus all their attention on exploring this unknown Desolate Star Domain in the following exploration.

"Um."

Su Yuan glanced at Hu Ta, a smile appearing on his face.

According to the answer given by the Grey Mirror, the Hometown Exploration Team will obtain a batch of precious resources worth 130 billion Canglan Coin in the star field he indicated.

130 billion Canglan Coin? An 80% return means a return of over 100 billion Canglan Coin!

The various industries and planets accumulated by the Multi-Eye Race over hundreds of thousands of years, after being sold off, were worth no more than this.

"Besides."

Su Yuan looked at Hu Ta.

"Sir, please speak."

Hu Ta immediately said.

"Before embarking on any exploration, let's first break through to the Starry Sky Lifeform."

Su Yuan spoke.

The unknown, Desolate Star Domain he circled was quite dangerous; Hu Ta would need at least the strength of a mid-level Starry Sky Lifeform being to be qualified to explore it.

Not only will you gain nothing by not reaching the middle reaches, but you will also suffer heavy losses.

"Good."

Hu Ta immediately snapped to attention and nodded quickly.

Compared to the Hometown Exploration Team that enjoyed unparalleled success.

The "Voyager" exploration team, which returned around the same time, found the scene bleak.

How is that possible?

Why can't we enter that special star region this time?

The captain of the Voyager Exploration Team, red-skinned Ao Feng, looked grim and terrified.

This time, he plans to replicate the process of his previous exploration and enter that special star field.

With the support of Young Master Ya Lin Luoxing, the Voyager Exploration Team was well prepared. As long as they could successfully enter that star field, they would surely return with a full harvest.

Only.

Ao Feng never expected that he would fail to enter that special star field.

Not only did they fail to enter, they also encountered a stellar-level Starry Sky Behemoth, almost making it impossible for them to return.

However, even if they managed to survive, the various technological devices on the exploration spaceship were severely damaged by the attack of that stellar-class Starry Sky Behemoth, to the point that they needed to be completely rebuilt.

In other words, the expedition of the Voyager Exploration Team not only yielded no results, but also suffered heavy losses, almost depleting their entire fortune.

"What to do?"

"Young Master Ya Lin, how are we going to explain this?"

Ao Feng felt extremely uneasy.

At his strong recommendation, Ya Lin Luoxing directly funded the Voyager Exploration Team with hundreds of billions of Canglan Coin, but now, all of these hundreds of billions of Canglan Coin have gone down the drain.

Furthermore, with the exploration spaceship almost completely destroyed, Ya Lin Luoxing had no chance of even recouping some of its costs by selling the spaceship at a low price.

"Captain Ao Feng."

Just as the red-skinned Ao Feng was wondering how to explain things to Ya Lin Luoxing, a man in black approached, "Young Master Ya Lin requests your presence."

"Ah?"

Red-skinned Ao Feng was startled. Looking at the expressionless man in black, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

Before long, the red-skinned Ao Feng met Ya Lin Luoxing.

"Young Master Ya Lin."

The red-skinned Ao Feng whispered.

"Ao Feng, you've disappointed me greatly."

Ya Lin Luoxing stared at Ao Feng through gritted teeth.

The loss of hundreds of billions in funding is something that Ya Lin Luoxing can barely withstand; at most, it will only cause minor damage.

But in terms of appearances, he had completely lost face with Ya Lin Luoxing.

They funded the expedition with hundreds of billions or even trillions of Canglan Coin, but the Voyager Exploration Team was almost wiped out.

Doesn't this show that Ya Lin Luoxing lacks foresight?

"Young Master Ya Lin, please listen to me. This was an accident. I wasn't prepared. Please give me another chance."

Ao Feng mustered his courage and explained, "Believe me."

"I believe your mother!" Ya Lin Luoxing suddenly stood up. "Ao Feng, get out of Exploration World! I've already declared that any investor who dares to fund Ao Feng from now on is going against Ya Lin Luoxing and the Luoxing Family!"

Ya Lin Luoxing was extremely angry. If it weren't for the regulations of the Canglan Universe's human government, investors would never be allowed to attack the exploration team in reality.

He was even planning to take revenge on Ao Feng on a physical level.

"Young Master Ya Lin."

Ao Feng's face turned pale, and he pleaded.

"Roll."

Ya Lin Luoxing glanced at his subordinates standing on either side.

The four subordinates immediately stepped forward and took Ao Feng away.

"Now."

Standing in the tavern corridor, Ao Feng's face was ashen.

Given Young Master Ya Lin's influence in exploring the world, his words essentially signal the end of the Voyager Exploration Team's journey.

"How so."

Ao Feng couldn't help but start flipping through the list of exploration teams and saw the triumphant return of his Hometown Exploration Team.

Ao Feng knew Hu Ta, the captain of the Hometown Exploration Team. A year or two ago, neither of the exploration teams was well-known.

But now?

The Hometown Exploration Team has achieved two triumphant returns and has become a dark horse in world exploration, attracting countless investors. Meanwhile, the Voyager Exploration Team is being suppressed by Young Master Ya Lin Luoxing, and its future looks bleak.

"Why."

Ao Feng suddenly remembered Mr. "Mirror," the investor behind the Hometown Exploration Team.

Back then, the Voyager Exploration Team and the Hometown Exploration Team were able to return with a full harvest on their first expedition thanks to the financial support of Mr. "Mirror".

However, on their second expedition, the Voyager Exploration Team and the Hometown Exploration Team made drastically different choices.

Ao Feng, the captain of the Voyager Exploration Team, felt that he had returned with a full load on his own and did not need to rely on Mr. Mirror anymore, so he did not show much sincerity.

However, the Hometown Exploration Team begged Mr. Jing to continue providing financial assistance and offered to give 70% of the proceeds back to him.

Now there are two exploration teams.

One is in the heavens, the other on the earth.
