"This 'Mingguang Star'? Inside the Original Secret Realm?" Lu Yan'an gently clicked on the 9th cultivation task, "Mingguang Star," and glanced at it briefly.
These Cosmic Secret Realm, some as small as a galaxy, like the Milky Way Galaxy, others as large as a star sector, like Universe Country!
In the vast and wondrous Cosmic Secret Realm, anything can happen; it is perfectly normal for a special planet to be born out of thin air or for a continent to appear floating in the void.
Therefore, the special regions born in the Cosmic Secret Realm are probably beyond the imagination of many people, even if they rack their brains their whole lives.
"Mingguang Star, an ancient planet born in the Original Secret Realm. Over countless years, under the influence of the cosmic power and the Light Origin mist, a special life form, the 'Aurora Race', has been born..." Lu Yan'an read the detailed introduction of Mingguang Star.
This introduction was incredibly long, detailing the Origin and background of the "Aurora Race" and even their racial talents! However, what excited Lu Yan'an the most was the cultivation environment of Mingguang Star. Due to the influence of the Origin Law of Light, this place was naturally suitable for strong individuals who specialized in cultivating the Origin Law of Light.
"Tsk, this place looks quite tempting, but it's definitely dangerous." Lu Yan'an pondered. "There are even immortal-level powerhouses on Mingguang Star, and the weakest are at the Universe Level. Moreover, this place is extremely xenophobic. If you expose your identity as an outsider, you'll be besieged by the natives. No wonder the Virtual Universe Company rated it as 'dangerous'!"
This state also reminded him of the Chaos Beast in Chaos City; the two were extremely similar!
"After leaving Chaos City, my understanding of the Origin Law of Light has reached a bottleneck. After a period of digestion, I have also exhausted my inspiration from the Chaos Stele. Now, there is no other choice."
Lu Yan'an flipped through one mission after another, marveling at many of the locations. But it was clear that none of the mission locations were quite suitable for him; even the "Xueluo Continent," which seemed the most suitable in the original work, offered no help whatsoever to his cultivation of the Law of Light.
"This Mingguang Star is also located within the Original Secret Realm." This is extremely advantageous for him. First of all, it's best to choose a mission within the Original Secret Realm. Otherwise, other Cosmic Secret Realm would take a very long time to travel by spaceship, and the time cost of a round trip would be enough to cause him a lot of trouble. Among the other dangerous missions offered by the Original Secret Realm, none of them seem as suitable as this "Mingguang Star".
"Then let's choose 'Mingguang Star'!" After making up his mind, Lu Yan'an reached out and clicked the "Accept" button on the screen.
"Hint."
"Mingguang Star harbors an extreme hatred for outsiders."
"Therefore, to accept the training mission on Mingguang Star, you must first ensure that you do not bring any technological items. Special Spiritual Force or Origin Force weapons are also prohibited unless they are already available on Mingguang Star. You must dress as an ordinary Aurora Race member."
"If someone's appearance is too unusual, their looks and physique will need to be modified to conform to the Aurora Race's conventions."
"The language of Mingguang Star is different from the Universal Language; those who enter must first learn the language of Mingguang Star."
A pop-up notification suddenly appeared on the task screen, followed by a display of the normal Aurora Race's physique and appearance.
Looking at the faces on the screen that were almost indistinguishable from those of traditional humans, Lu Yan'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Aurora Race had relatively normal appearances, but unlike others, each Aurora Race had a unique tribal mark on their forehead. And the Virtual Universe Company could provide a solution to depict this feature.
Lu Yan'an smiled and nodded, "Fortunately, the humans of the Aurora Race look very similar to ordinary humans from Origin Yuan Planet. I look relatively normal among them, and the company can also help with the Aurora Race markings!"
"As for weapons, and even the laws of research, there is basically no difference within the grand system of the universe."
"Language?"
"With my Universe Level mental processing speed, I can learn it in half a day." Lu Yan'an finally decided to choose the Mingguang Star cultivation mission because it was so compatible with him! From the path of laws he cultivated to his appearance as an ordinary Aurora Race, everything was so in sync. It felt like a mission tailor-made for him!
Cultivation mission on Mingguang Star:
1. Survival. Successfully surviving on Mingguang Star for ten years will earn you 10,000 points.
2. Comprehend the Aurora Statue and clear the "Aurora Tower" to receive 500,000 points. (Note: 100% of those who accept the Mingguang Star quest have completed the first quest; no one has ever completed the second quest.)
Completing either task signifies the successful completion of the cultivation mission.
"Drop."
"Please confirm acceptance of the Mingguang Star cultivation mission."
"Received successfully."
"Please fill in your departure time. Virtual Universe Company will arrange a spaceship to take you to Mingguang Star."
Inside the cultivation room, the Nutrient Capsule was placed there. For three whole months, Lu Yan'an had been lying in the cold Nutrient Solution inside the Nutrient Capsule.
At this point, about one-third of the Nutrient Solution in the Nutrient Capsule had visibly disappeared.
"Drop!"
The Nutrient Capsule lid suddenly opened slowly, and Lu Yan'an, completely naked, stood up from the remaining Nutrient Solution and stepped out. At the same time, the intense heat wave instantly evaporated the liquid on Lu Yan'an's body, revealing a set of white casual clothes on his body.
"Body power at the ninth level of the Universe Level, Spiritual Force at the ninth level of the Universe Level." Lu Yan'an exerted a little force, and the hard muscle lines all over his body straightened. It was a kind of power that was full of a majestic sense of power even when viewed with the naked eye, and the aura that suddenly emanated from his body also made the surrounding air seem to explode and vibrate.
"This is the Nutrient Capsule." Lu Yan'an turned around and glanced at the Nutrient Capsule. There were still nearly two-thirds of the Nutrient Solution in the storage container inside. "In just about three months, it allowed me to directly advance to the ninth level of the Universe Level. My physical fitness has reached a state of complete saturation from the moment it jumped to this point, saving me decades or even hundreds of years of hard cultivation!"
He had only read about this in books before, and it didn't really resonate with him. Now, having personally experienced these benefits, he had a completely new understanding of the financial power and influence of Virtual Universe Company!
Lu Yan'an's physical strength has reached its limit and can no longer be improved! With his current foundation, he could even crush his younger self from three months ago with one hand!
"Everything is ready; now it's time to prepare." Lu Yan'an was somewhat eager to try, but he remained calm as he made preparations for the mission. Being weak is fine, but being weak and arrogant at the same time is just stupid!
In the Dark Universe, a fish-shaped spaceship is moving rapidly forward.
"Your Highness, we are heading to Mingguang Star. We have already reached 50 times the speed of light and are estimated to arrive in 8 hours," a bald, white-robed Virtual Universe Company World Lord Lu Yan'an. "I will inform Your Highness in 8 hours. Your Highness can go and rest now."
"Thank you." Lu Yan'an nodded slightly and smiled at the World Lord. He would show respect to the strong, especially those who were much stronger than himself, even if their status was lower than his own. This was his reverence for the universe!
Lu Yan'an then sat down on the sofa and sent a sliver of his consciousness into the Virtual Universe Network to continue his comprehension of the "Zhou Guang Yan Lun." Although he no longer had the Chaos Stele to compare his understanding with, nor the visible Universe Operating Laws, comprehending the "Zhou Guang Yan Lun" was still a means for him to analyze the Origin Law of Light. Moreover, compared to conventional comprehension, this comparative comprehension was much more efficient!
Eight hours passed quickly as they immersed themselves in deep esoteric meditation.
"Your Highness, immediately initiate the Cosmic Shuttle and return to the Primal Universe," the bald World Lord instructed with a smile. At the same time, a shuttle countdown echoed in the spaceship's control room. Ten seconds later, the entire spaceship began to vibrate slightly, and soon everything returned to calm. The spaceship had arrived at its destination.
"Your Highness, we have now entered the territory of the Void Palace. All Your Highnesses who are to carry out missions in the Original Secret Realm of my Virtual Universe Company must first register!" the bald World Lord said to Lu Yan'an.
"Registration? Void Palace?" Lu Yan'an had never heard the name Void Palace in the original work.
"The Void Palace where some of our Virtual Universe Company's top experts are cultivating in seclusion, and they are also responsible for monitoring and guarding this Mingguang Star!" The bald World Lord explained as he led Lu Yan'an out of the spaceship, seeing the puzzled look on Lu Yan'an's face.
Upon hearing this, he suddenly realized that these were probably the same kind of monitors as the Tian Shi Palace.
"Anyone who flies out of Mingguang Star will be discovered by the powerful guards stationed there. If they are one of our people, they will naturally be taken away safely. If they are natives, they will basically not have any good luck." The bald World Lord's words were light, but the bloodshed they revealed was self-evident!
"And the Void Palace is precisely the residence for the powerful figures of my Virtual Universe Company stationed to monitor Mingguang Star! The Palace Master's strength is in no way inferior to the renowned Lord of Tian Shi Palace among our Human Race!" the bald World Lord introduced, stopping one kilometer in front of the Void Palace. He then tossed a Red Token into the Void Palace. The token disappeared into the palace.
"Alright, I've registered you now." After the bald World Lord finished speaking, a purple token suddenly flew out from the Void Palace and landed in Lu Yan'an's hand.
"This is your pass token. Without it, you will be attacked by the Void Palace if you continue down."
"Below is the stratosphere of Mingguang Star. From now on, Your Highness will have to rely on your own spaceship," said the bald World Lord.
"Understood." Lu Yan'an nodded, then took out the prepared spaceship from his Space Ring and slowly flew towards Mingguang Star below...
