" Junior Brother Ye, you and Elder Jian shall wait in my Blessed Land for now."
"We'll meet again when we get there."
Lu Li greeted Ye Chenfeng and Elder Jian.
He raised his hand and put the celestial boat away.
Ye Chenfeng knew that Lu Li had some mysterious methods, so he didn't say much.
He was immediately taken into the Blessed Land by Lu Li.
Once the surroundings were empty, Lu Li stepped into the Great Desolation Heaven Domain.
Its form floated in the vast universe.
Looking at the Milky Way and stars around him, Lu Li's thoughts stirred slightly.
" No Distance!"
The instant the No Distance was unleashed, Lu Li vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye.
Countless planets Milky Way flowed like accelerated water.
They retreated frantically.
It was so fast that only a blurry trajectory could be seen.
The "No Distance Talent" in the Great Desolation Heaven is a new ability that Lu Li Falling Firmament when he broke through to the Void Return.
This ability seemed useless before.
However, with the unification of the nine realms, Boundless Realm were formed.
Lu Li's true form returned to the Great Desolation Heaven, making his abilities quite unique.
" No Distance exists, with my cultivation and talent, as long as I'm in the Great Desolation Heaven..."
"Let alone those of the same rank, even if I were two ranks higher, I wouldn't necessarily be easily defeated."
"In other words, within the Great Desolation Heaven, this buff can significantly increase my combat power."
The No Distance effect is indisputable.
With this method, Lu Li can fight and run in the Great Desolation Heaven.
The effect is obvious.
Once he breaks through to the Earth Immortal, even the Heavenly Immortal will be unable to lord it over the Great Xia.
Even Profound Immortal would have to think twice before acting.
As I pondered this, the surrounding scenery flashed by rapidly.
Until, within his divine consciousness, a familiar Milky Way came into view.
The Great Xia has arrived!
For the Great Xia Dynasty, the Milky Way Galaxy galaxy had become a Great Xia hub.
More than a hundred years after the Nine Realms were united.
Amidst the rich Spiritual Qi of the immortals, the Great Xia continuously improved its interstellar travel technology.
At the same time, they used ninth-order formations and even Pseudo-Immortal Foundation arrays to transform one inhabited planet after another.
Furthermore, the internal zoning of the river system was completely completed as early as fifty years ago.
Of course, this is only nominally internalized.
Of the entire Milky Way Galaxy, the area that the Great Xia could reach was less than one in a thousand.
Fortunately, the starry sky is no longer unfamiliar to the Great Xia.
In a star system with hundreds of billions of stars.
One interstellar city after another rose from the ground.
The Great Xia's interstellar cruise fleet firmly linked these interstellar cities together...
Kepler-22b.
Its existence was first detected by humans on Blue Star in 2009.
Cygnus, a constellation within the Milky Way galaxy, is approximately 600 light-years from Blue Star.
The planet's radius is 2.4 times that of Blue Star, and this value became even larger after the Great Desolation was revived.
After decades of development and renovation.
This planet has become the second most habitable planet in the Milky Way Galaxy.
K22B01 Source Continent, was the first man-made continent of the Great Xia on this planet.
"Ring ring!"
"Ring ring!"
The jarring alarm clock woke Lin Yuan from his deep sleep.
He rolled over, buried his face in the pillow, reached out and groped around on the bedside table for a while, then slapped the alarm clock away.
There was a three-second silence.
The second alarm clock went off.
"... Hold."
Cursing under his breath, Lin Yuan resignedly sat up.
At eighteen, he is a third-generation Kepler immigrant.
When his grandfather's generation migrated from Blue Star, this place was still an ocean.
There isn't even an island.
Now, outside the window stretches a vast urban skyline.
At the horizon, you can see the interstellar port in the center of the Origin Continent.
The early morning shuttle boats have already begun taking off and landing.
Today marks the seventh day of the countdown to the Dragon Abyss University Grand Examination.
The Dragon Abyss University Grand Examination is a unified selection process for the joint academies of the Great Xia Star Region.
It is held annually and is open to all eligible cultivators throughout the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
Once you get past this hurdle, you can enter the Star Mansion Academy, which is ranked among the top in the Great Xia Dynasty, or even the legendary Dragon Abyss University Saint Academy.
But what if we can't pass?
They can only wait another year, or honestly go to a regular arts and crafts college.
But that's basically the end of the path of spiritual practice.
After casting a Body-Cleansing Technique, Lin Yuan glanced at himself in the mirror.
"Seven days left. I'm at the Qi Refinement Sixth Layer. I wonder if I'll be able to pass the exam."
"Forget about the Dragon Abyss University Saint Academy, any cultivation academy will do!"
"I really don't want to go to any of those arts and crafts events!"
Muttering to himself, Lin Yuan walked out of the bedroom and into the living room.
On the dining table in the living room were two Linggu cakes and a bowl of Juyuan soup.
Linggu cakes are affordable staple foods distributed uniformly by the Great Xia Ministry of Agriculture.
It's cheap, filling, and contains just enough Spiritual Qi to sustain daily cultivation needs.
The Juyuan Geng (a type of soup) is a bit more expensive; it's a special treat his mother makes for him, saying he needs to replenish his energy during this crucial period of preparation.
Lin Yuan finished his meal in a few bites, slung his bag over his shoulder, and headed out.
My mother's admonishing voice came from the kitchen.
Did you bring the supplementary class notice?
"I brought it."
"Where's the Spirit Stone Card?"
"Yes, I brought it."
"Your cousin got into the Heavenly Star Academy on the main campus of Blue Star last year. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best."
These words sounded like words of comfort, but after thinking about it for a moment, Lin Yuan realized they sounded more like "you're not as good as your cousin."
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.
Once outside, the street was already quite crowded.
K22B's morning rush hour starts earlier than that of Blue Star.
The rotation period here is short, only nineteen hours a day.
So everyone's schedule has been pushed forward a bit.
Lin Yuan walked to the street corner, took out his Spirit Stone card, swiped it on the bus stop sign, and waited for the shuttle bus.
Standing next to me was a girl in exam preparation clothes, with the Source Continent No. 3 Middle School badge pinned to her backpack.
He was still holding a book titled "Analysis of Past Exam Questions for the Dragon Abyss University Examination" in his hand, flipping through it.
The shuttle arrived, and when the door opened, the carriage was filled with people around his age.
They were all wearing the same exam-prep clothes, and they all had the same dark circles under their eyes.
Some people closed their eyes and meditated, while others looked down and browsed the mock exam question bank on the spiritual screen.
Some people even leaned back in their seats to catch up on sleep.
The notice screen on the top of the carriage scrolls through the countdown to the Dragon Abyss University Grand Examination and important notes.
[The 117th Dragon Abyss University Grand Test Examination will begin at 23:14 on the 6th]
[Total number of applicants for this year's Dragon Abyss University Grand Examination: 470 million]
[Number of places available for admission to top-tier universities: 1.2 million]
An acceptance rate of 400 to 1 is still devastating to anyone who sees it.
The shuttle travels through the Origin Continent's commercial district, with rows of high-rise buildings flashing past the window.
Along the way, you can see the signs of many interstellar trading companies.
There are Law Artifact, elixirs, and even training institutions that specialize in intensive prep courses for the Dragon Abyss University Exam.
Finally, the shuttle stopped at the terminal station.
We've arrived at Source Continent No. 3 Middle School.
There was a long queue at the school gate, all of them there to participate in pre-exam training.
The academy will open all its training grounds seven days before the Dragon Abyss University Grand Test for candidates to use freely.
Lin Yuan stood in line, inching forward.
Suddenly, people started whispering among themselves.
"Have you heard? The list of examiners for this year's Dragon Abyss University Grand Test has been released."
"Who?"
" The Blue Star headquarters sent a high-ranking official to inspect the area."
How big?
"I don't know, but the news came from Xingfu Academy. They said it was someone personally selected by higher-ups, and it seems to be related to that person from Great Xia..."
When the word "that person" was mentioned, the person in front lowered their voice.
Lin Yuan didn't hear what came after that, and was still wondering who that person was.
Suddenly, a startled cry rang in my ears.
"Quick... look! It's Interstellar Sea Demon!"
"Watch out! Get out of the way!"
