Wood Gem

"Here it comes!"

Not long after Lu Yunhe left Civilization Relic No. 9, a streak of light shot toward him faster than the naked eye could see, then merged directly into his body.

"The Ultraman Avatar has already reached the Stellar level."

Lu Yunhe felt somewhat emotional. His human body was still lingering at the Apprentice level, while his avatar had already reached the Stellar level. It had even comprehended the Light Origin Law and awakened a heaven-defying Gene Level amplification talent.

He did not know whether such a talent, one that could directly increase one's Gene Level, even existed anywhere in the entire Original Universe.

"Space Ring!"

Using the Ultraman Avatar's mental power, Lu Yunhe examined the Space Ring found in the Pyramid ruins. In its empty storage space, aside from a Crystal Coffin, there was also a weapon and ten white Wood Gems.

The weapon was a Tier 3 Force Weapon—the Arc Blade Disc. It could be used up to the Cosmic level and was barely suitable for the current Ultraman Avatar. After all, it had already comprehended Origin Laws, so a Tier 3 weapon could only be said to be usable.

"I finally found them."

When he saw the Wood Gems, Lu Yunhe's face filled with delight. The Ultraman Avatar's main purpose in exploring the ruins had been to find Wood Gems.

Wood Gems were white crystals with the scent of rice. They could allow someone at Apprentice level eight or nine to reach Planetary First Order in one or two months. Their miraculous effects could even support cultivation throughout the entire Planetary Level and Stellar level.

"I've just reached Apprentice level eight. One should be about enough."

Looking at the number of Wood Gems, Lu Yunhe thought for a moment. One for himself to enter the Planetary Level, and one for Dong Nanbiao, enough to let him reach Planetary First Order as well. After all, he was his first underling.

Then he would leave one for his parents, though they would have to wait until they found a Wood Spirit or something else to raise their strength to Apprentice level eight. He would also set one aside for his younger brother. If his talent was insufficient, then he could just spend money to make up for it.

Since his younger brother had one, he also had to save one for his future younger brother-in-law or sister-in-law. After all, it would be difficult to enter the Cosmic level in a short time. Then he would give one to Old Jia for him to distribute...

Lu Yunhe roughly calculated it. Though the Wood Gems seemed like a lot, only a few remained after they were allocated.

There had actually been eleven in the Space Ring originally, but on the way here, the Ultraman Avatar had eaten one. It tasted good, and it was useful for its cultivation too, though the amount it needed was probably "a little" more than a human's.

"Stellar energy can speed up growth, and Wood Gems can increase cultivation too. Looks like I won't have to worry about the Ultraman Avatar's growth for a while."

Lu Yunhe even suspected that the Ultraman Avatar could use every cultivation resource available to humans. The only issue was its much larger size, which caused the resources it needed to increase geometrically.

As he thought, Lu Yunhe used the Ultraman Avatar's power to return to the Energy Pyramid. Although consuming Wood Gems was not dangerous, he still planned to cultivate in seclusion for a while.

His human body remained inside the Pyramid, cultivating in seclusion to break through to the Planetary Level, while the Ultraman Avatar returned to the exterior of Civilization Relic No. 9 in the Amazon Jungle. He had already obtained the Martial Artist Basic Manual, but he had yet to obtain the Psychic Master basic manual.

"Civilization Relic No. 9 only allows a person to enter once. So this counts as my second time, right?"

The Ultraman Avatar smiled, shrank its over ten-meter-tall body down to two meters, and passed through the mirror into Civilization Relic No. 9 once more.

After passing through the mirror, it was still the familiar black hall. However, just as the dreamlike light was about to shine upon the Ultraman Avatar, an even more dazzling golden light instantly rose and directly repelled the relic's scanning rays.

"Alert, alert, alert, intruder detected..."

The relic's alarm sounded, but this time, the Intelligent Light Brain did not need to translate it. The Ultraman Avatar had completely learned the language during its evolution.

Whoosh!

There was no expected attack. A great deal of multicolored light rapidly gathered and transformed once more into a Crystal Bald Man.

"Greetings, Your Highness. I am the Intelligent Light Brain of the Yunmo Star Disciple Selection Base."

The Crystal Bald Man looked at the Ultraman Avatar with a smile, with no other fluctuations visible.

"Oh? I want to join Yunmo Star. What do you think?"

One did not strike a smiling face. Since the Bald Crystal Man was being so respectful, the Ultraman Avatar could not immediately lose its temper.

"Of course. It would be my honor if Your Highness is willing to join Yunmo Star. It is only that I have been unable to contact Yunmo Star for a very long time. Even if you join, it would not mean much."

The Bald Crystal Man shook his head. He said he could not contact it, but he had long understood that Yunmo Star was gone. He simply still held onto a sliver of hope and was unwilling to give up.

"It's fine. I'm willing to join Yunmo Star."

The Ultraman Avatar waved a hand, indicating that it did not care about such minor issues. It was only taking the name, after all.

"Very well!"

The Bald Crystal Man fell silent for a moment. Though he did not know the Ultraman Avatar's purpose, one thing was true: its joining really was Yunmo Star's honor.

Although he had not recognized its true race, the strength it displayed placed it at least among the universe's most peak races. It truly would not be a loss for Yunmo Star if it was willing to join.

Then, the Crystal Bald Man took out a hexagonal metal disc. "Your Highness, this is the Token for entering Yunmo Star. It also symbolizes the status of an elite disciple."

"Mm. Oh, right, I'm also a Psychic Master."

The Ultraman Avatar accepted the Token, then displayed its identity as a Stellar Rank 1 Psychic Master.

Sensing the nearly overflowing data within the relic, the Crystal Bald Man fell silent. Its basic strength was ten times greater than others of the same rank, and what was that power that faintly carried Origin Laws?

It had comprehended Origin Laws immediately after entering the Stellar level. The Crystal Bald Man searched through its entire database, yet seemed unable to find any corresponding information.

"Since I'm already a member of Yunmo Star, then it's only proper that I be allowed to view the sect's manuals, right?"

Its identity, strength, and aptitude had all been displayed. The Ultraman Avatar felt that its next objective should be easy to achieve.

"So that's it!"

Upon hearing the Ultraman Avatar's words, the Crystal Bald Man instantly understood that it had set its sights on his database—the database containing Yunmo Star's vast collection of basic manuals.

However, if a stranger had said such a thing, this utterly loyal artificial intelligence would rather perish together with them than let them obtain it.

But the Ultraman Avatar had just joined Yunmo Star, was also a Psychic Master, and possessed enough strength to directly destroy this base. That left the Crystal Bald Man somewhat conflicted.

Strictly speaking, the data in the base was only basic information, reaching no higher than the Cosmic level. It did not contain Yunmo Star's core content.

Moreover, the Crystal Bald Man strongly suspected that if he refused, would the other party simply blow up this entire base with its strength?

This artificial intelligence, which had awakened some extremely faint emotions, did not wish to die so easily.

With an artificial intelligence's computational ability, it analyzed the pros and cons in a short time.

"Fine!"
