This lowly official... pays his respects to the True Lord of Pure Source and Wondrous Dao, Erlang Who Manifests Sainthood!

Zhu Chenhai's voice was not loud.

The communication device on the spacesuit quickly reached the ears of the four crew members who exuded a more imposing aura.

The crew members who were summoned straightened their backs instinctively.

Then, he walked quickly towards Zhu Chenhai.

"Comrades, besides building and developing Mars training base, our group's main mission on this trip also includes..."

"Another important task is to explore the deep, mysterious regions of Mars's Spiritual Mechanism."

"This mission is dangerous, so please be on your guard!"

Zhu Chenhai's tone became much more serious.

He was not only the captain of the Kuafu One.

He is also the leader of the Velociraptor Special Operations Team.

The Velociraptor Special Operations Team has a very long history.

Its predecessor was the Great Xia Cultivation Administration, which was established in the early days of the Spirit Transformation.

Later, due to the intensified resurgence of Spiritual Qi on Blue Star, global affairs became more complex.

To cope with more unexpected and special situations, the Cultivation Administration has set aside a separate group of personnel.

The Velociraptor Special Operations Team, or Dragon Group for short, was formed!

The Dragon Group is a globally renowned combat organization.

Zhu Chenhai led the Swift Dragon Special Operations Group Second Team.

They are second only to the first group in terms of individual soldier strength in China.

Including him, there are five people in the group.

Everyone is at the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation.

Moreover, he is a seasoned veteran who has handled numerous emergencies.

For this mission to Mars, the Swift Dragon Second Team is undoubtedly the core of the entire team.

"Don't worry, team leader, we've already made all the necessary preparations."

"The Spiritual Qi on Mars is so abundant; maybe when we get back, we can even surpass one group."

"I reckon even Team Leader Xu will be amazed by us then."

A slightly thin group member spoke excitedly.

They seemed unafraid of the unfamiliar Mars.

His words were brimming with eagerness to try.

The other group members behind him didn't say much.

Their eyes, however, revealed a sense of anticipation.

For them, the journey to Mars was also a search for fortuitous opportunity.

Zhu Chenhai, however, was not so optimistic.

He always felt that this planet wasn't as peaceful as human textbooks described.

We must be fully prepared.

After explaining a series of relevant precautions to everyone.

Zhu Chenhai handled the base affairs properly.

A miniature version of a Tier 5 magic warship was then released.

"Walk!"

At a command, everyone boarded the ship.

We sped towards the depths of Mars, past the towering Mount Olympus.

Even after they left, the entire training base was still under construction.

The crew members who remained on duty went about their tasks methodically.

Completely unaware of what was happening inside the French warship Kuafu One.

As they arrived on Mars.

The once dull and lifeless meteorite trembled slightly...

Lu Dahai felt as if he were in a dream.

In reality, he couldn't tell if it was a dream or something else.

It could also be reality.

Strange, how could I, a dignified celestial official, be having dreams?

He looked down at his magnificent immortal robes and the golden decree in his hand.

He shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, and remembered the important matter.

He was sent here on orders.

The purpose was to convey an imperial edict.

The person who received the decree was in a majestic mountain temple in the distance.

It was an extremely magnificent mountain temple.

Suspended above the sea of clouds, with golden tiles and glazed roofs, and cranes circling around.

Thousands of enormous figures stood on either side of the mountain gate, some with tree arms and human bodies, others being stone spirits and grass monsters.

Its aura was extremely powerful.

He didn't dare look too much, and just walked inside with his head down.

Suddenly, a low bark came from deep within the mountain gate.

Lu Dahai paused in his steps.

A giant dog, entirely black with eyes like copper bells, emerged from the shadows.

The black dog had not a single stray hair on its body.

His fangs were slightly exposed, and his gaze was icy.

It circled the Lu Dahai once, its nostrils flaring as if it were sniffing something.

Sudden.

The black dog spoke in human language, its tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Who goes there? What brings you here?"

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Dahai cupped his hands in greeting.

I dare not show the slightest disrespect.

The aura emanating from this black dog was even more terrifying than the thousands of enormous figures outside the mountain gate.

The tone was respectful at that moment.

"I have come by imperial decree to request an audience with your esteemed master, and to present you with an imperial edict."

Although the black dog was disdainful, it dared not hide the truth.

He stared at him for a moment, then snorted coldly, "Just you wait."

Having said that, he turned and disappeared into the mountain gate.

This wait lasted for a very long time.

Lu Dahai dared not move, nor did he dare urge them on.

He could only maintain the posture of bowing and clasping his hands.

Let the mountain winds blow through my fairy robes, let the sea of clouds surge beneath my feet.

I don't know how much time passed.

Suddenly, golden light shone from deep within the mountain gate!

Lu Dahai felt a chill run down his spine and slightly raised his eyes.

But then a figure was seen slowly walking out of the temple gate.

The man was burly and handsome.

He was fully clad in a silver-white battle armor.

The nail plates have intricate patterns.

A three-pointed, double-edged sword hung at his waist, its sharpness concealed.

What is most terrifying is the vertical pupil between his forehead.

Although it was slightly closed, it exuded a chill that could be felt from hundreds or thousands of miles away, making people afraid to look directly at it.

With each step, golden lotuses appeared and disappeared beneath one's feet.

Lu Dahai was deeply shaken.

For some reason, a name just naturally came out of his mouth.

"This humble official... greets the True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao Erlang, the Manifest True Lord!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the figure paused slightly, and slowly opened its closed vertical pupils.

What a gaze it was!

It's as if they can see through the Three Realms and Six Paths, and understand past and future lives.

Lu Dahai felt completely exposed under that gaze.

He saw right through me, inside and out.

He dared not move, nor dared he speak.

He could only maintain the posture of bowing and clasping his hands, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

a long time.

The figure finally looked away, as if letting out a soft sigh, or perhaps with a hint of resentment.

"Fine."

Why not try again?

As soon as he finished speaking, everything went black before Lu Dahai's eyes.

Then, my heavy eyelids suddenly lifted!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Heavy breathing came from Lu Dahai's mouth.

His eyes held a hint of panic and unease.

He looked around, as if searching for something.

The cabin of the French warship in front of him was still familiar, with nothing special about it.

Apart from some equipment and supplies, only the meteorite sculpture of unknown origin remained in the cabin.

"I am..."

"That was just now..."

Lu Dahai seemed not yet to have recovered from the illusion, or perhaps the dream, he had just experienced.

He stared at the meteorite in horror.

My gaze fell upon the blurry three-pointed double-edged sword and the indistinct sculpted figure.

He stood there, stunned.

Unconsciously, I raised my hand and slowly touched the sculpture.

"Was it a dream, or... was it because of you?"

Lu Dahai muttered to himself.

It's unclear whether the message was addressed to the meteorite or to the sculpture.

In a daze, he suddenly felt an unbearable itch between his eyebrows.

It seemed as if something was trying to emerge from between his eyebrows.

Lu Dahai felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately cast a Water Mirror Technique, reflecting the image in front of him.

The next second.

He clearly saw a golden vertical pupil appear between his brows in the water mirror...
