Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—who holds the colorful ribbon dancing in the sky?
Outside the planet's atmosphere, countless dazzling Flowing Light shimmered, like flowing ribbons intertwining and enveloping the entire planet in a giant neon light shield.
Lei Ming stood in the void, watching this beautiful scene.
The Illusory Color Star.
This was the first stop on his training journey with his teacher. It was here that, amidst life-or-death battles, he gained insight into the realm of martial arts and laid the foundation for becoming a powerful figure.
Returning now, everything has Canghai is vastly different, and the people are gone.
After a moment of sadness, Lei Ming accelerated, rendering the Starry Sky Air Defense System useless against his speed.
He easily reached the planet's surface.
The Illusory Color Star is much more prosperous than before, with handsome men and beautiful women walking on the streets, and some space travelers who have come specifically for tourism.
The Illusory Color Star had few resources. When it was enslaved, the three enslaved people only sold the handsome men and beautiful women on the Illusory Color Star. After taking back the planet, Meng Na saw a business opportunity and vigorously developed the tourism industry, which gave Illusory Color Star capital to stand in the universe.
Today, Illusory Color Star is a well-known tourist attraction in the Maple Leaf Empire. The handsome men and beautiful women on Illusory Color Star also attract many single people who want to have a love story that transcends planetary boundaries.
Lei Ming's appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, but the confidence and world-weariness inherent in strong individuals still garnered him a lot of attention.
The boy who used to blush at a girl's flirtatious glance has grown up and can now handle such advances with ease.
Lei Ming didn't talk to anyone else; he just kept walking down the street.
After a long time, he arrived outside a cemetery.
Standing before the tombstones laden with flower baskets, Lei Ming glanced at the portrait of the young girl on one of the tombstones; she remained as lively and adorable as she had been in her youth.
" Meng Na..."
Lei Ming spoke slowly.
The girl he once had a slight crush on lay inside, and Lei Ming still felt a pang of sadness.
However, he also knew that a life of luxury and comfort was not what he was after. He had a powerful teacher, and becoming a strong person was the path he had to take.
"Lord... Lord..."
A hesitant voice came from behind.
Lei Ming turned his head and saw a burly man. Unlike the men and women on Illusory Color Star, this man was too strong, giving people a feeling of being very solid and powerful.
Do you know me?
Lei Ming asked.
The burly man nodded hurriedly. "My lord, I am Tamu, Meng Na's brother... I heard that strangers came to pay their respects at Meng Na's grave, so I came to check, but I didn't expect it to be you, my lord..."
Although tens of thousands of years have passed and the Illusory Color Star has continued to develop freely, Tamu knows that their Illusory Color Star has a nominal master, and it is that master who saved their Illusory Color Star from Water-Fire.
"You're not bad... to be able to cultivate to the Universe Level, you can be considered to have some talent."
Lei Ming glanced at him, not caring at all... He was just a Universe Level being, a king on an ordinary life-bearing planet, but he was no match for him.
"Thank you for the compliment, lord."
Tamu quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Since you are Meng Na's brother and the strongest person on this planet, I will transfer the Illusory Color Star to your name," Lei Ming said.
"My lord, our Illusory Color Star has accumulated some savings over the years. We can spend money to buy Illusory Color Star from you," Tamu said nervously.
"No need!" Lei Ming waved his hand dismissively. "This little bit of money is useless to me. Keep it for your own development."
"Yes, lord."
Tamu stepped forward, walked up to Lei Ming, and took out a box from his Space Ring, saying, "Lord, this is something Meng Na left behind. She said... if I live to see you again, I will give this to you."
"Oh, what's inside?"
Lei Ming took the box.
"N-no... I don't know..." Tamu shook his head and said, "I have been following Meng Na's last will and waiting for your arrival, Lord, so I haven't opened it. If you want to know what it is, you can open it and see for yourself."
"Yes, I accept this gift. I've already arranged the transfer of Planet Lord, and it will be transferred to you soon. You don't need to do anything... If the Illusory Color Star encounters any insurmountable dangers in the future, you can seek help from the Maple Leaf Empire. Just mention my name, and they will know what to do."
Lei Ming looked at the exquisite box and spoke.
"Thank you, my lord."
Tamu was extremely grateful.
The lord before them was a World Lord Level powerhouse Origin Law Recognition, so his words naturally carried immense weight.
With this statement, the Illusory Color Star will be completely safe from now on.
Lei Ming simply nodded, then turned and left.
After leaving the Illusory Color Star, Lei Ming opened the box that Meng Na had left for him.
Inside was a thin leather scroll, its surface yellowed and showing signs of age, with some areas corroded. It was unclear where Meng Na had obtained it.
"What's this?"
Lei Ming examined it closely and found that it seemed to be a map, but it didn't quite look like one. The writing on it seemed to be the language of some indigenous civilization, neither the Universal Language nor the language of the Illusory Color Star.
" Little Lei, can you help me analyze what these pictures represent?"
Lei Ming couldn't figure it out himself, he asked the Intelligent Life to help analyze it.
Soon, Intelligent Life provided the answer.
"Master, based on my deduction, there's an 80% chance this scroll is a treasure map. The location marked on it is a cosmic coordinate; we even passed by this area before."
"A treasure map? I've passed by here before?"
Lei Ming was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, Master, please look, this is the location of those cosmic coordinates."
The spaceship's screen changed rapidly. The Illusory Color Star in front of us turned into a tiny dot and quickly disappeared. Then, a red dot appeared in the distant starry sky, representing the coordinates.
"I've actually passed through here... it's quite remote!"
Looking at the interstellar map, Lei Ming realized that this place was very familiar. He had felt that this place was very remote, and it seemed that he had left a leaf of Cloud-Touching Vine nearby as a coordinate of divine power.
The spaceship traveled to a secluded corner, Lei Ming immediately had Cloud-Touching Vine activate the Divine Kingdom Teleportation, arriving near the coordinates in a short while.
The E-class Machine Race ship started at full power and arrived at the coordinates in just a few days. It was a void of space, seemingly devoid of anything.
"Activate the detectors and start full-scale detection!"
Lei Ming gave an order, then his gaze was fixed on the detector.
"Master, there's a slight spatial fluctuation at the coordinates; something seems to be hidden within Space Interlayer."
The Intelligent Life, Little Lei, spoke excitedly.
" Moyun!"
Without Lei Ming's command, Cloud-Touching Vine tore open space, and the two continued forward along the spatial rift. Before long, they saw a dilapidated Divine Kingdom.
This Divine Kingdom has already detached from the Divine Kingdom Layer and is located in a very shallow area of Space Interlayer.
If a powerful individual were fighting here, it would be easy to spot them.
" Divine Kingdom? Or a ruined Divine Kingdom? Could there be some treasure hidden here?"
Lei Ming was somewhat surprised.
He only went to the location with the coordinates that Meng Na had left him out of interest. He thought that Meng Na was only at the Star Level, and at most she would leave behind opportunities at the Universe Level or even the Domain Lord Level. He never expected that it would be a dilapidated Divine Kingdom.
" Meng Na must have been here before, but she couldn't break through the Space Interlayer. However, she thought there must be some benefits here, so she left it for me. After all, the strongest person on the Illusory Color Star is only a Universe Level Tamu, who couldn't possibly have come here."
"What is that?!"
Upon closer inspection, Lei Ming discovered that where the Divine Kingdom Temple had once stood, a massive vine crackling with Thunderlight lay sprawled on the ground, resembling a primeval forest.
Seemingly sensing the Lei Ming, the vines became alert, and streaks of purple Thunderlight shot towards the direction of the Lei Ming.
"Boom boom boom!"
Lei Ming did not dodge.
He allowed the Thunderlight to strike him, his armor easily absorbing Thunderlight all.
Feeling the power of these lightning bolts, he showed a look of shock.
He thought that no one at the World Lord Level would pose a threat to him, but he didn't expect that the strength of this vine was beyond his imagination. If it weren't for the armor bestowed upon him by his teacher, he probably would have been seriously injured just now.
"Only World Lord Level... yet its attack power is so strong... even stronger than that of an ordinary Immortal God. What is this thing? Could it be the extremely rare Special Lifeform that the teacher mentioned?"
Lei Ming's face lit up with joy.
He learned about Special Lifeform forms from his junior brother, Lu Lingxiao.
His junior brother, Lu Lingxiao, possessed an extremely powerful Special Lifeform, and even just a Clone of him was no match for him.
If this thing is Special Lifeform form... then the opportunity is immense!
Although he couldn't understand why this vine, which resembled Special Lifeform, would appear in a dilapidated Divine Kingdom, Lei Ming was extremely excited. He didn't dare to be negligent and quickly spoke up.
" Moyun subdued him!"
No matter how strong Special Lifeform is, it is impossible for a mere World Lord Level being to rival the Peak Marquis Cloud-Touching Vine.
Soon, the Cloud-Touching Vine suppressed the huge vine flashing with Thunderlight. If it weren't for the concern of accidentally killing it, there would have been no need for such trouble.
"I don't have the necessary permissions to look up this. You should ask the teacher."
After subduing the purple vines, Lei Ming immediately called his teacher.
Soon, the teacher appeared on the video screen; judging from the background, it seemed to be in a restaurant.
" Lei Ming, you rarely initiate call requests. What's up today?"
"Teacher, I'd like you to help me find out what this is."
Lei Ming focused the camera on the suppressed vine.
"This is?"
Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised, and then began to search. During this time, he returned to Thunder Mountain, where his status as Universe Venerable was recognized, and his authority was naturally elevated.
Now, unless it concerns the most core secrets of the Universe Master, there are no secrets left to hide from him in the Human Race's database.
Soon, Lu Qingshan discovered what the Thunderlight vine was.
" Thunder Spirit Devil Vine, Special Lifeform form, with Gene Multiplier of 50 times..."
"A darling of the Law of Lightning, the power of the Law of Lightning is enhanced."
" Innate Secret Technique, Parasitism... It allows Parasitism a target with a soul, replacing and assimilating the other into their Parasitism, creating an ability similar to Clone. Normally, the Thunder Spirit Devil Vine can hide, allowing the Parasitism to roam freely. Even if it dies, it can Parasitism. At any one time, it cannot Parasitism more than three targets."
Indeed, it is a Special Lifeform with very strong comprehensive abilities. Its Parasitism ability alone is enough to save its life... The key is that it is at the World Lord Level... Lu Qingshan was very surprised. He did not expect that his disciple Lei Ming would have such an opportunity.
Lei Ming was only Third-Class Genius, and his greatest future achievement would only be to Marquis. As Lu Qingshan's first disciple, he was obviously somewhat weak, but unexpectedly, he had such a fortunate opportunity.
Lu Qingshan sent all the information to Lei Ming.
After a long while, he asked, "Have you thought it through? Are you willing to possess someone else's body?"
"Master, your disciple is willing to possess your body." Lei Ming did not hesitate.
"Okay, I sent you a book on body-snatching techniques. Study it carefully and practice it until you're proficient."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Qingshan sent the secret technique " Thousand Threads Soul Seizure " to Lei Ming. Lei Ming had been cultivating Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement Refining for a long time, and his Soul Will was not bad. Now he was already at the level of Immortal Army Lord, so the danger of possessing Special Lifeform at the World Lord Level was not very great.
He continued, "After possessing a body, don't rush to break through to Immortal. You can keep some specimens of World Lord Level creatures first. This Thunder Spirit Devil Vine is quite precious and might fetch a high price."
"Disciple understands."
"Okay, be careful. If you have any questions, ask me in the Virtual Universe."
After saying that, Lu Qingshan hung up the phone.
He looked up and saw the door to the private room in the restaurant being pushed open, and Ling Xi skipping and hopping over.
