Zhenlian King

The spaceship belonging to Zhenyuan Venerable is massive, measuring a full hundred kilometers in length, with a width and height exceeding forty kilometers.

Though it is called a training room, the space inside is as large as a city.

It is 30 kilometers long, 20 kilometers wide, and 10 kilometers high.

The moment he stepped inside, Sett was secretly stunned by the sheer scale of this vast space.

"The Venerable is truly incredible to have built such a massive training room inside his ship." Sett walked into the space.

He mobilized the miniature planet within his sea of consciousness to generate a magnetic field.

Hum, hum, hum!

Sett lifted off the ground, his entire body hovering. "Is this what flying feels like?" Sett couldn't help but shout.

"Woohoo, takeoff!"

After flying around aimlessly for a while, he threw a few wild, clumsy punches.

"It feels like my strength has increased many times over." Sett felt that this planetary-level power was far greater than before.

It made sense, as he had previously only possessed the strength of a high-level warrior, which counted as a third-level apprentice. In one fell swoop, he had ascended to the first level of the planetary stage.

He had improved by an entire major rank.

The Venerable also mentioned that this was only a portion of the energy, and that most of it was sealed away for now, fearing that improving too much at once would be bad for me, Sett thought to himself.

The wine the Venerable drank was naturally a premium item. It was somewhat of a waste to use it to boost Sett's meager strength, but Zhenyuan Venerable didn't care; to him, the wine was like water, merely something to rinse his mouth with.

He wandered around the training room for several hours, and only after he had gained a decent grasp of his body did he leave the area.

"We are still a while away from our destination. I will demonstrate a technique; try to gain some insight from it," Zhenyuan Venerable said after seeing Sett return.

With a wave of his large hand, he left a scroll hanging before Sett's eyes.

There were nine planets on the scroll, and although they were just images, they felt as if they truly existed, each planet radiating a faint pressure.

As soon as Sett's eyes landed on the scroll, he was completely captivated.

His entire being became immersed in the painting, as if he were wandering through the scroll itself.

"I've helped this kid enough. How much he can comprehend from this Zhen Star Map depends on his own fortune," Zhenyuan Venerable said before leaving the area.

In the vast cockpit, only Sett remained, staring blankly at the Zhen Star Map.

"Whew, what a marvelous feeling." Sett's consciousness was submerged in the Zhen Star Map, as if he had merged into one with it.

"Nine planets in total; they all seem to be expressing something, but I just can't touch that feeling." Having watched the Zhen Star Map for two consecutive days, Sett did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue; in fact, his spirit felt increasingly sharp.

As a planetary-level powerhouse, one could indeed go without eating, drinking, or breathing. However, doing the same thing for a long time would still eventually lead to exhaustion.

Yet, Sett did not feel tired at all, continuing to stare obsessively at the Zhen Star Map.

"What exactly is it?" Sett felt as if he had hit a dead end, unable to grasp that elusive sensation.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up." The voice in his mind grew louder and louder, and Sett, who had been lost in the Zhen Star Map, was jolted awake.

Upon waking, he couldn't help but look back, but the Zhen Star Map in the air had already vanished.

"What a pity, I was just a hair's breadth away," Sett thought regretfully.

"Not bad. With only the strength of a first-level planetary stage, you nearly grasped that thing," Zhenyuan Venerable said with a smile.

A faint golden light radiated from Sett's body, and a hazy golden domain enveloped him.

"To master a domain at the first level of the planetary stage—not bad. Hurry and retract it," Zhenyuan Venerable said, prompting Sett, who hadn't yet realized he had mastered a domain.

"Ah? I've mastered a domain?" Sett was shocked, seeing the faint golden light emanating from his body.

It was indeed a metal-attribute domain, and Sett felt that he had absolute control within the range of this domain.

"Heh, that Zhen Star Map of mine is my pride and joy, specifically designed for you little guys to learn from," Zhenyuan Venerable laughed. "I practically poured the answer directly into your brain. It's just a pity your strength is too low; if you were at the ninth level of the planetary stage, you might have been able to comprehend a sliver of the laws."

"What? A planetary-level can comprehend a sliver of the laws?" Sett asked in surprise.

One had to know that even those at the universe level weren't guaranteed to grasp a sliver of the laws, let alone a planetary-level.

Generally, a universe-level being who could comprehend a sliver of the laws was considered very talented, and a star-level being who did so was a super genius.

As for a planetary-level being comprehending the laws, that was the cream of the crop among super geniuses.

"Of course, you shouldn't doubt the Venerable's strength. However, this still requires one's own comprehension. Your aptitude is excellent; an average person would naturally be a bit worse off," Zhenyuan Venerable laughed.

"Alright, we'll reach our destination in two more days. I'll take you to see the world then," Zhenyuan Venerable said.

Two days passed quickly.

"About to exit the Dark Universe," Sett heard the electronic voice of the spaceship.

"Activate external view simulation," Zhenyuan Venerable said from the side.

Following the Venerable's words, the cockpit gradually became transparent, displaying the pitch-black scene outside.

The two of them felt as if they were situated in a place of absolute darkness.

So this is the Dark Universe, Sett thought to himself as he looked at the display.

He saw that the surrounding space was pitch black, with streams of light visible in the distance.

Soon, the spaceship decelerated to a complete stop and vanished from the Dark Universe.

At the corresponding coordinate position in the Original Universe, a spaceship measuring over a hundred kilometers in length appeared in the cosmos.

Not far from the spaceship, there was a massive planet, pink in color and exceptionally beautiful.

"This Zhenyun Planet is one of my favorite planets out of the hundreds of millions I own. The entire planet has a diameter of over ten million kilometers, and it is primarily managed by a good friend of mine. It is also a famous tourist planet within a radius of tens of millions of light-years, receiving hundreds of billions of visitors every year. Come, let's take a look," said Zhenyuan Venerable.

After speaking, he stowed the massive spaceship into his World Ring and, taking Sett with him, appeared on the planet in an instant.

A planet with a diameter of 10 million kilometers, that is truly incredible, Sett thought as he stood on the massive planet.

Sett looked around; the place where they landed resembled a village on Earth.

However, the scenery was stunning, with the pink sky radiating a romantic hue. Scattered houses were nestled in the wilderness, each one looking like a decorative gemstone.

It didn't feel strange at all; instead, the structures blended perfectly into the environment.

The calls of unknown creatures echoed, sounding incredibly melodious and pleasant.

There were two suns in the sky, yet it wasn't hot, but rather very warm.

"I really want to live in a place like this," Sett said.

"This place is naturally beautiful; I have spent a significant amount of time here throughout my long life. However, you can only gain residency on this planet after you officially become my disciple," said Zhenyuan Venerable.

With that, the two walked one after the other through the countryside, falling silent as they savored the peace that touched their souls.

"What are we doing?" Sett asked after following him for several hours, unable to hold back his curiosity.

"Going to the market, and then I will introduce you to an old friend of mine. After that, I will be leaving," Zhenyuan Venerable said from the front.

The number of people on the road increased, all dressed in beautiful clothing. Some carried baskets on their backs, while others held various items, preparing to trade for what they needed at the market.

Eventually, the two arrived at a small town consisting of only a few streets.

The bustling crowd on the street and the hawking of street vendors filled Sett's ears with noise.

"This town holds a market every two days, and today happens to be market day. How about it? This feeling isn't bad, is it?" Zhenyuan Venerable's appearance stood out sharply from the people around him, yet the others acted as if they didn't see the two of them at all.

"It's not bad; it's quite a place for enjoyment," Sett nodded and said.

The two walked to a relatively quiet spot.

Knock, knock, knock.

Zhenyuan Venerable looked at the beautiful two-story house and knocked gently on the door.

Before long, the door opened. The person who opened it was a beautiful woman with scales on her head just like Zhenyuan Venerable, though hers were cyan.

"You're here?" the woman said, then led the two into the house.

The three sat in the living room, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

"This is my friend, Zhenlian King," Zhenyuan Venerable said, gesturing to the woman.

"This is a young friend I just met, his name is Sett," Zhenyuan Venerable said, gesturing to Sett.

Zhenlian King? Could she be a King-level powerhouse? Sett thought to himself.

"Hello, I am Zhenlian King. I come from the same planet as Zhenyuan Venerable." Since she was someone brought by Zhenyuan Venerable, Zhenlian King was very polite and took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Greetings, Lord King." Sett guessed that this woman was likely a King-level powerhouse, so he addressed her directly regardless of the specifics.

"What lord or not? Those are just empty titles," Zhenlian King said with a wave of her hand.

"Lianhua, I'll leave this kid Sett to you. Anyway, to him, there isn't much difference between an Immortal and a Venerable. Help me look after him for a while, until he earns the title of a Planet-level Golden Giant Axe Warrior," Zhenyuan Venerable laughed.
