Huyan Bo's Legacy, Charging into the Planetary Level!

With the Yunmo Star lineage destroyed, the apprenticeship ceremony was naturally kept simple. After Vinina knelt before the crystal coffin and solemnly kowtowed eight times, she became Huyan Bo's fifth direct disciple.

And his last direct disciple.

"Vinina, Master is dead and cannot teach you personally, so I will teach you in his stead."

As he spoke, Babata did not forget to explain, "You can rest assured about that. Master told me everything before his death. And since I am an Intelligent life who followed Master all along, I can play you videos of every scene in which Master taught his direct disciples. There is absolutely no need to worry."

His words brimmed with confidence.

Vinina nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Though the Yunmo Star lineage's inheritance was not especially important to her now that she possessed the Battle Formation Master Inheritance, it still carried some weight. After all, apart from Battle Intent tempering, the other techniques in her Battle Formation Master Inheritance all came from Earth.

No matter how poor the Yunmo Star inheritance was in the Martial Artist lineage, it could not be compared to those on Earth.

However, her main purpose in joining the Yunmo Star lineage was Babata.

Only he could help Vinina take control of the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship on Earth, sell it, and obtain her first pot of startup capital.

With that startup capital, Vinina could grow rapidly.

Of course, Vinina understood the principle of repaying kindness. Since she had chosen Huyan Bo as her master and was enjoying the benefits he had left behind, she naturally could not allow the Yunmo Star lineage's primary Mental Master inheritance to die out.

The not-yet-born Lord Luo was quite a promising candidate.

This could be considered manually repairing the plotline, right?

Thinking of this, Vinina smiled inwardly before catching the streak of silver light Babata tossed toward her.

Opening her palm, she found what appeared to be an ordinary silver ring.

"A storage ring?"

"That's right. Make do with it for now."

Babata explained casually, "You only need to seep your Mental Power into it and merge your Mental Imprint with it to recognize it as your master."

Vinina nodded slightly.

However, she was still only at the Apprentice Level and could not yet mobilize Mental Power. Her Battle Intent Power could not leave her body either, so she merely put the ring on her finger and looked back at Babata.

Babata naturally switched into explanation mode.

The main focus was the general state of the Vast Universe, and Vinina listened very attentively.

Although she had learned quite a bit about the Primeval Universe from the Original Work in her past life, that knowledge was limited to what had appeared in the Original Work. Naturally, it could not compare to Babata, an Intelligent life who had followed Huyan Bo through life-and-death trials for more than sixty million years.

A long while later.

The explanation finally came to an end.

"What is this transparent white crystal?"

Vinina took one out of her backpack and asked.

"This is a Wood Crystal."

Babata explained, "It is a basic treasure used for cultivation. It can be used to raise tamed beasts and Plant Life. It has countless functions and a wide range of uses."

"Put simply."

"Those so-called High-level War Gods and mid-level War Gods on your Earth can directly enter the first rank of the Planetary Level after using a single Wood Crystal and spending roughly a month digesting its energy."

"But that would be far too wasteful. In the normal universe, it is used for cultivation, raising beasts, or nurturing Plant Life."

"You can definitely use it."

"Oh, right. From now on, stop absorbing energy from the universe. That method is far too inefficient, takes too much time, and is simply a waste of time."

"If you keep progressing at that rate, you can forget about ever reaching the Universe level in this lifetime."

"From now on, just cultivate with Wood Crystals. I have plenty of them here."

As he spoke, Babata lightly waved his pale arm. A huge number of Wood Crystals appeared, floating directly before Vinina's eyes, and a rich fragrance of rice washed over her.

He was truly extravagant!

But the inheritance did not end there.

As for armor, although the Black God Set had been prepared for the Planetary Level, Babata clearly felt that it was not good enough. So he added a Young Moyun Vine.

This was a fairly good Plant Life. It could transform into armor to protect its owner, be used to attack enemies, and, most importantly, possessed the ability to continuously evolve and grow.

Its only drawback was that it was expensive.

The young form was expensive, and nurturing it was even more expensive.

Even a Marquis-level Immortal would need to spend nearly half their fortune, if lucky, to cultivate a Plant Life to the Immortal level. If unlucky, it was entirely possible to go bankrupt.

Finally, in terms of weapons, there was a Mental Power Weapon suitable for the Planetary Level, called the Arc Blade Disc. However, in Vinina's eyes, this thing was basically already waiting to be sold.

After all, she had no use for it at the moment.

And by the time she could use it, she would probably no longer think much of it.

Still, although this was the weapon left behind, Babata had a small private stash. There happened to be a Force Spear within it.

Once he took it out, Huyan Bo's first batch of gifts came to an end.

However, these were only the resources Huyan Bo had prepared for direct disciples at the Planetary Level. They were not particularly numerous, but they were exceptionally balanced and comprehensive. The rest had been deposited in Cosmic River Bank, with three accounts left behind for Vinina to claim one each upon reaching the Star level, Universe level, and Domain Lord Level.

What suited her was the best.

Next, Babata stored all seven corpses, including the one in the entrance passage, as well as the entire Yunmo Star Ship, inside his storage space.

It could not be helped. This thing had not only suffered severe damage, but its energy had long been exhausted. Although Babata had reserve energy sources in his storage space, the internal systems were so badly damaged that it could not even take off.

And repairing an F-class spaceship like the Yunmo Star Ship—

Even the Black Dragon Mountain Empire would struggle with it.

Besides, with Vinina's current strength, using the Yunmo Star Ship would be like a child carrying gold through a crowded market, simply courting death.

"What do you plan to do next?"

Babata's crisp, childlike voice rang out in her mind.

"First, enter the Planetary Level."

Vinina spoke softly.

"Wise!"

Babata nodded and praised her.

After all, the prerequisite for entering the Vast Universe was Planetary Level strength. Otherwise, she could not even register the most basic identity. Not only would she be unable to move an inch, she would also become a juicy piece of meat coveted by everyone.

Those slave traders would never let any windfall slip away!

As for an unstable foundation—

In the worldview of Swallowed Star, early-stage cultivation mainly depended on whether one's body and soul had bottlenecks. With Vinina's talent, there was no way she would encounter a bottleneck at the Apprentice Level.

Moreover, Vinina was not blindly stuffing herself with power.

With the aid of Wood Crystals, she was merely skipping the time required to absorb energy.

With the support of the Wood Crystals, Vinina's physical foundation was naturally pushed to the peak of High-level War God as smoothly as water flowing into a channel. Then, following the method recorded in the Yunmo Star lineage, she began attempting a breakthrough.

It was called: Thousand Hammers!
