A gigantic spaceship cut through the sky and stopped before an enormous planet.
Xue Xi had spent several months traveling through the Solar System. She had visited Venus, Saturn, Mercury, Mars, the Moon, Uranus, Neptune, and even Pluto, which had been demoted, exploring each for a day. Now she had finally arrived at the largest celestial body in the Solar System besides the Sun.
Jupiter was not only the most massive planet in the Solar System, but also outweighed the other seven planets combined by a factor of twenty-five. As a gas giant, its relatively low density gave it an enormous volume. Its diameter was eleven times Earth's, and its volume was 1,321 times Earth's—enough to hold 1,300 Earths.
The ship slowly entered Jupiter's orbit, then plunged into its thick atmosphere. Xue Xi relied on her old trick, using both her domain and Origin Force for protection.
Jupiter's atmosphere contained hydrogen, helium, water, and ammonia. Ammonia rose and cooled into white clouds, and the pressure of the ammonia near Jupiter's equator was equivalent to the atmospheric pressure at sea level on sixty Earths. It was like concentrating the stink of sixty toilets and releasing it all around you.
As her sense of smell had grown much more sensitive along with her sense of taste, the moment Xue Xi stepped out of the ship, she nearly fainted from the stench. She hurriedly shut off her senses and closed her eyes, relying entirely on her Spiritual Force to explore.
Although Jupiter was made up of 90 percent hydrogen and 10 percent helium, that didn't mean it was entirely gaseous inside, allowing you to fly straight through the planet and out the other side.
The Black Dragon Mountain Ship continued to descend. The atmospheric pressure displayed on the screen kept rising; the pressure at the core was 50 to 100 million times greater than Earth's surface pressure.
Under such immense pressure, after passing through dense clouds of hydrogen and then traveling through an ocean of liquid hydrogen, the Black Dragon Mountain Ship finally collided with a continent of solid metallic hydrogen.
As Xue Xi traveled across the land, she discovered large quantities of metal and quartz, as well as small amounts of carbon gas, silicates, and water ice.
Finding a sheltered spot, Xue Xi took out various seeds and began experimenting. In the end, she found that pineapple-shaped Spirits of Vegetation were best suited to grow in this environment.
Xue Xi entered the Cultivation Planet and transformed its last vacant region to simulate Jupiter's environment. Then she planted the pineapple seeds there.
After putting away the Myriad Manifestation Water she had used to accelerate their growth, Xue Xi gazed in awe at the world shrouded in a thick atmosphere. In the distance, powerful hurricanes capable of pushing the Moon away raged across the planet. Red lightning occasionally struck Jupiter's pockmarked surface.
The dim red landscape rushed past beneath her. Xue Xi looked closely and saw Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot: a superstorm as large as Earth, with winds exceeding 600 kilometers per hour. It was the king of storms in the Solar System.
Even Xue Xi, a ninth-tier Stellar Rank powerhouse, had to use Origin Force to anchor herself firmly to the ground just to stand there. Otherwise, she would have been swept away and carried off to who knew where. An ordinary person here would probably have been torn to pieces.
After admiring this cosmic wonder for a while, Xue Xi took several close-up photos and added them to her travel album.
Several months of traveling through the Solar System had greatly broadened her horizons. Filling the Cultivation Planet's last vacant region on Jupiter also marked the end of her journey. As for the Sun... she decided against it. What special environments could there be? Even if there were any, she had no Golden Crow to raise there.
So Xue Xi contacted Babata No. 1 through her wristband. The nine miniature stars in her qi sea began to revolve, and she broke free of Jupiter's powerful gravity. With a flash, she entered the ship. "Babata No. 1, prepare to head back. We're going home!"
"Understood, Captain!"
The Black Dragon lifted into the air and started its engines. Neither Jupiter's gravity nor the storm's violent pull could stop it from leaving. The Black Dragon Mountain Ship pierced the dense atmosphere and transformed into a streamer, heading for Earth.
Earth, Jiangnan Base City, Bright Moon Residential Quarter.
On the spacious balcony of a villa, a young man with short black hair sat cross-legged. A few traces of violence occasionally flashed in his eyes. He was none other than Luo Feng's Earthling Main Body, successfully birthed.
However, the Golden Horned Beast's bloodline had made him bloodthirsty and left his temperament somewhat unstable. He was always itching for a fight. Babata had found him a large number of books on self-cultivation and tranquility, and in recent days, he had managed to keep his impulses under control.
Luo Feng gazed at the clear blue sky with his golden eyes and asked Babata, who was sunbathing nearby, "Babata, when are Fourth Sister and the others coming back? Aside from Big Brother and Second Brother, there are too few people on Earth who can fight me. I can't keep holding back like this!"
Babata held the Tianfu Cola Xue Xi had uploaded to the War God Palace and took a small sip, shaking his head as he spoke. "Don't worry. Although I can't contact her, my subprogram can still sense her. That means Xue Xi definitely hasn't left the Solar System yet. She'll probably be back soon!"
