The palace's former splendor and magnificence could be seen from a great distance in the air.
The palace complex is scattered in a well-organized manner, covering an area of over ten million square kilometers, which is larger than the area of the largest country on Earth.
Despite the erosion of millions of years, countless magnificent palaces still retain glimpses of their former glory.
"It's magnificent! This scale is comparable to the master's residence on Yunmo Star back then," Babata exclaimed.
"Indeed astonishing. Just the palace where they reside is so extravagant. Is this the wealth of Immortal Expert?"
"But Babata, didn't you say the entire Yunmo Star was the teacher's residence?" Zhang Junbao also sighed. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but feel impressed after seeing such an extravagant palace complex.
With an area comparable to a continent on Earth, and a history spanning millions of years, its civilization is far beyond what any other planet can match.
"That's right, the entire Yunmo Star is the master's palace, but this area is already comparable in size to the master's usual palace complex."
Unfortunately, after its master perished, Yunmo Star was also completely destroyed, and everything that once existed vanished into thin air.
Don't be fooled by the size of this palace. Remember, Immortal Expert are incredibly fast; they could traverse the entire palace in less than ten seconds.
Do you think a house that you can walk through in ten seconds is very big?
" Babata said with some sadness. Clearly, recalling the Light Time when Hu Yanbo was in charge still made Babata feel sentimental."
After all, he had been with Hu Yanbo for thousands of epochs, while from the time Zhang Junbao discovered it until now, it was just a short moment in Babata's life.
"However, you are quite fortunate. Even though I have been with my master for so long, I have only encountered such Immortal broken God Kingdom a few times."
Those opportunities allowed the owner's wealth to multiply, eventually leading to its current scale.
Babata quickly dispatched several small flying robots, which scanned the entire palace complex.
" Junbao, I've found a great place, five thousand kilometers away from here. Come with me!"
Suddenly, Babata shouted excitedly.
There is a huge palace there, 18,888 meters high, built entirely of Heavenly Dipper Wood with a hardness comparable to D Grade metal.
This wood is extremely hard and contains abundant vitality. Even Apprentice Level person can live for thousands of years by living in it. In terms of rarity, Heavenly Dipper Wood is even higher than D Grade metal, and it is only produced on very few planets.
That must be where the master of this God Kingdom usually resides.
Following Babata's guidance, Zhang Junbao arrived at the palace. He then realized that the palace resembled a giant Gumu, towering into the clouds. Like the roots of Gumu, the roots were intertwined, each root like a powerful arm, firmly gripping the ground.
It was as if the entire power of the taxi driver was being absorbed into the palace.
When Zhang Junbao arrived at the palace gate, he took a deep breath and immediately sensed the terrifying life force contained within.
"Hahaha, Junbao, the owner of this place is definitely an Immortal Expert with the wood attribute. The vitality here alone is enough to make many plant life grow rapidly."
"There must be treasures containing a lot of life force inside! As long as your Cloud-Touching Vine absorbs them, it will definitely be able to quickly become Universe Level!" Babata exclaimed excitedly.
At the same time, the Cloud-Touching Vine on Zhang Junbao's body also emitted excited signals. For a plant life like the Cloud-Touching Vine, this place was simply paradise!
"My God, what kind of being could kill all the life here? With such a high concentration of life force, anyone with a breath of life could survive!" Babata exclaimed in astonishment as he sensed the extremely dense life force.
Although Zhang Junbao was shocked by what he saw, he quickly calmed down. Just by looking at this palace, one could tell just how powerful its original owner had been.
Although Babata claimed that Hu Yanbo was more powerful, Zhang Junbao expressed deep doubts after actually seeing the palace.
" Junbao, hurry inside. I've already cracked the palace's system. Just as I guessed, the wisdom that once managed this palace has been destroyed along with its owner."
The system of this palace wasn't originally Intelligent Life; now it's just an empty shell without any intelligent management. I, Lord Babata, will accept it without hesitation!
Babata was incredibly excited. To him, this smart device was like an extremely luxurious private villa, and one that was unclaimed. Babata could simply move in with his bags and enjoy the comfort.
Under Babata's control, the palace gates opened automatically, welcoming the first guest in millions of years.
What met the eye was not the magnificent architecture one had imagined, but rather ruins and fragments, a stark contrast to the rich life force present. Most of the buildings appeared to have been destroyed from the inside out by a powerful force, a truly terrifying sight!
"The destruction here appears to have erupted from within. Could it be that the enemy from back then attacked directly inside the palace, and the attack then spread outwards, causing the death of all life in this Space Fragment?"
"Tsk tsk, such dense life force has accumulated over millions of years, yet no one is absorbing it. What a waste," Babata exclaimed.
Even the Cloud-Touching Vine on Zhang Junbao's body couldn't help but stretch out their branches, frantically absorbing the life force here.
" Junbao, send your Cloud-Touching Vine back."
You're hopeless! You can't even resist temptation with that little bit of vitality? It's true what they say, a lack of experience leads to a lack of self-control!
Babata gave Cloud-Touching Vine a disdainful look. Cloud-Touching Vine, which was only a few years old, had only ever seen the most concentrated life force in a single plant, Wood Bud Crystal.
The concentration of life force here is so high that it's almost enough to condense into Wood Bud Crystal, so how could it not be excited?
"Come with me, I've discovered a treasure trove!" Babata exclaimed.
Babata had absorbed the entire palace's intelligent system and knew its layout inside and out.
Following Babata's guidance, Zhang Junbao arrived at an ancient gate. The entire gate was dark green, with strange patterns engraved on it, resembling concentric circles of eyes.
" Junbao, don't look at the secret runes on it. They are a defensive measure in the treasure vault that will cause soul damage to any enemy who intrudes!"
"As expected of Immortal Expert, to prevent it from being forcibly broken open, the entire treasure vault was forged from the F-Grade Metal ' Emerald Cloud Gold Mother '!" Babata reminded.
"What is ' Emerald Cloud Gold Mother '?" Zhang Junbao asked.
So far, the only F-Grade Metal he knew of was the ' Crimson Chaos Copper Mother ' used to manufacture the Yunmo Star Ship. And now, there's another one: ' Emerald Cloud Gold Mother '.
"Unlike the ' Crimson Chaos Copper Mother,' which is more closely related to spatial attributes, the ' Emerald Cloud Gold Mother ' is also an F8-grade metal, but it can prevent Spacetime Distortion. Forcibly breaking through spacetime to attack the treasures inside is extremely difficult, making it one of the metals that Immortal most like to use to store treasures."
"Doesn't that mean the treasure vault itself is an extremely valuable treasure?"
"That's right. The owner of this item even specially engraved secret runes on it, making it extremely defensive. Even if attacked by Immortal Expert, it will remain unharmed!" Babata explained.
"Then why didn't the teacher choose to use ' Emerald Cloud Gold Mother ' to build the spaceship in the first place?" Faced with the vast knowledge of the universe, Zhang Junbao also had to learn and gain knowledge at all times. He did not reject this knowledge from the universe.
Earth's history is indeed minuscule compared to the universe.
The best way to integrate into the universe is to take its essence and discard its dross.
"There are many reasons for this, and I'll explain them to you slowly when I have the chance. The ' Emerald Cloud Gold Mother ' is not suitable for building spaceships. Its characteristics in terms of space acceleration and cutting are far inferior to those of the ' Crimson Chaos Copper Mother '," Babata said.
"Although I can't break it, it's okay, I have identification. Watch me!"
Babata skillfully controlled the machine, occasionally letting out a strange laugh that sent chills down Zhang Junbao.
"Hahaha, activated! No matter how strong the defense, it's nothing but a naked beauty before Lord Babata, completely at my mercy!"
"Once we retrieve the treasures inside, I'll take the entire vault. This is F-Grade Metal, priceless! Even other Immortal would go crazy for it!"
The original owner's design, intended to facilitate the movement of the treasure, has now all benefited Zhang Junbao.
P. S.: I've been very busy these past few days, so I apologize for the unstable updates. I'll resume normal updates starting tomorrow.
