Chapter 189 (continued)

The magnificent sky gives people a strong sense of oppression.

The environment of Deep Space Realm Domain is cold and inorganic, making it difficult to see anything familiar to humans; all that can be seen are occasional streaks of blank light and shadow.

Each blank space is a teleportation node.

A junior Disciple approached and led Li Yang to the Star Repository Pavilion. Their route was three steps to the left, four steps to the right, and two steps to the center.

Upon hearing this, Li Yang felt completely bewildered.

The Disciple knew that the Bone Peach Mother Tree was a favorite of Xuanyuan and was very attentive to her, explaining, "Xuan Shiyi will definitely come to the Deep Space Realm Domain often in the future, and then he will become familiar with the layout here. The Deep Space Realm Domain is different from other small Realm Domain; it has many spatial barriers."

Thinking of the first hurdle he had overcome during his advancement ceremony, Li Yang asked, "Like the Mystifying Space Realm Domain?"

The Disciple shook his head and said, "It's much more complex than the Mystifying Space Realm Domain. There are many overlapping spaces in the Deep Space Realm Domain. Don't be fooled by the fact that we only took two steps; if you count from within that space, we may have traversed tens of millions of miles."

Li Yang: "!"

The Deep Space Realm Domain has truly mastered the art of manipulating space.

Each blank space they stepped across meant they had traversed a different dimension.

Although the Mystifying Space Realm Domain is composed of multiple interconnected spaces, those spaces are all very small, each just a room in size.

These spaces in the Deep Space Realm Domain, though seemingly only a step apart, are actually immeasurably large.

Disciple: "Xuan Shiyi, we've arrived! Please proceed on your own; I lack the authority to accompany you."

Li Yang said calmly, "Thank you for your trouble."

Having said that, she took Xuanyuan's nameplate and stood in front of the blank space.

After a while, a water gate with rippling waves appeared in front of her. "Identity verification in progress, please wait."

Li Yang swallowed hard, waiting for her identity to be verified.

Although she already had the endorsement of a Divine Venerable, she was still slightly nervous about this kind of scan.

The voice quickly rang out again. "Identity verified. Lord Xuan Shiyi, the Star Repository Pavilion welcomes you."

Li Yang felt relieved and stepped into the shimmering water gate.

A faint coolness enveloped her body, and Li Yang felt the familiar Power of Water.

After she passed through the water gate, the Power of Water transformed into a light garment that covered her body.

Li Yang didn't feel any discomfort, only a vague feeling of being separated.

It must be some kind of permission that prevents her from causing trouble in the Star Repository Pavilion.

Li Yang looked up and was stunned by what she saw.

This... this...

It looks so familiar!

For a moment, Li Yang felt as if she had returned to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace and was standing in front of the Star Nexus Pavilion.

How so?

Why does the library in the Deep Space Realm Domain look so much like the Star Nexus Pavilion in the Huaxia Heavenly Palace?

The Huaxia Heavenly Palace is made of special white jade, and the Star Nexus Pavilion is one of the most representative buildings of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

The Star Nexus Pavilion occupies a vast area, with its main building being a triple-eaved tower. The grand hall is magnificent and spacious, seemingly capable of accommodating thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

And this Star Repository Pavilion in front of us is exactly the same as the Star Nexus Pavilion!

Is it a coincidence?

Or was Xuanyuan testing her?

Li Yang's heart tightened, and Lianxin promptly reminded her, "Fellow Daoist, someone is coming."

[Lifespan +1000 years.]

[Lifespan +1000 years.]

Lianxin sensed her unease and thus spoke up to remind her.

Li Yang felt a refreshing breeze wash over her, and she calmed down completely.

This wasn't a test from Xuanyuan. Firstly, it was completely unnecessary, and secondly, there were plenty of other ways to test someone; why use this?

The newcomer was a Third-Class Wise One with snow-white skin and a pair of rabbit ears.

The Lost Space Society has a strict hierarchy; First-Class Wise One do not need to be specially distinguished, as everyone knows them by heart.

Second-Class Wise One wear crisp, white uniforms with their rank inscribed on the left shoulder; Third-Class Wise One and Disciple wear black uniforms with their rank inscribed on the right shoulder.

The creature before me had rabbit ears and wore a black uniform. On its right shoulder was a number that seemed to glow with gold—"1".

This "one" is definitely not Kong Yi," but rather Men Yi" under the name of some Second-Class Wise One.

Regardless of which Wise One they are ranked under, those who can be ranked first are no ordinary people.

Rabbit Ears smiled sweetly at Li Yang and said, "Greetings, Xuan Shiyi! I am Disciple of the Mi Sanshiyi Void Kong Qi."

This string of names stunned Li Yang.

Rabbit Ears also realized that the Bone Peach Mother Tree couldn't distinguish one from another, and explained, "Mi Sanshiyi is a direct disciple of Xuan Shi!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang immediately understood.

Only at this moment did she truly realize the value of this "Xuan Shiyi"!

Even the worst disciples of Xuanyuan are all Ninth-Grade Supreme.

The rabbit-eared creature before them was of a higher level than Li Yang, yet its status was two full "generations" lower.

Let alone rabbit ears, even his boss's boss would have to call Li Yang "Little Martial Aunt".

Considering the nature of the Bone Peach Mother Tree, Li Yang knew she had to show off a bit in this situation, so she slightly raised her chin and said reservedly, "Hello."

Unexpectedly, the rabbit-eared creature didn't find her arrogant at all. Instead, it was excited by her response and said, "Lord Xuan Shiyi, this way! The elders of the Star Repository Pavilion have prepared what you need, but you'll need a spatial bag to store it. You can choose one you like!"

His enthusiastic attitude made Li Yang feel somewhat awkward.

It seems there are too many arrogant and domineering people in this Lost Space Society, so the Bone Peach Mother Tree is actually quite approachable.

Li Yang silently noted this down, reminding herself that she needed to put in more effort in the future and not be so lenient!

Rabbit Ears led Li Yang into the Star Repository Pavilion. The interior of the Star Repository Pavilion was completely different from that of the Star Nexus Pavilion. It was not spacious, but rather extremely crowded.

The Star Repository Pavilion displays countless blank boxes.

These boxes may look empty, but they are actually special spatial devices.

I'm afraid that each blank box contains a lot of space to store all sorts of resources.

Li Yang also noticed the internal division of the Star Repository Pavilion, realizing that it did not belong solely to Xuanyuan, but was similar to a public warehouse of the Lost Space Society.

The area exclusively for Xuanyuan was quite large; as far as the eye could see, the blank boxes stretched as far as the eye could see.

The rabbit ears led her to a Ninth-Grade Supreme being.

This Ninth-Grade Supreme being looked old, appearing to be in his eighties or nineties.

Under normal circumstances, once you reach the Master Realm, you can easily change your appearance, and there is no such thing as aging.

But the person before me... gave off a feeling that his time was drawing near.

Rabbit Ears quickly said, "Xuan Shiyi has arrived."

He then introduced Li Yang, "This is the Pavilion Master of the Star Repository Pavilion."

Considering the nature of the Bone Peach Mother Tree, Li Yang didn't greet it with excessive humility. Instead, he gave it a rather impolite once-over and said indifferently, "Greetings, Pavilion Master."

The Pavilion Master of the Star Repository Pavilion showed no sign of anger. She looked at her with interest and said, "The things are all there."

After saying that, she pointed to the empty box above the second row next to her.

The reason it is described as blank is because the box is so white that it seems almost invisible if you're not careful.

The rabbit-eared creature eagerly took out several spatial bags and handed them to Li Yang, saying, "Xuan Shiyi, which one do you prefer?"

Li Yang picked a light blue one.

Rabbit Ears' expression changed, and he whispered a reminder, "Xuan Shiyi, we'd better avoid the light blue ones."

Li Yang: "?"

The rabbit-eared creature continued, "Sage Xuanyuan is the Divine Venerable of Water, and you are his direct disciple. You should be more careful to avoid mentioning his name than others."

Li Yang then realized what was happening.

The Lost Space Society is divided into distinct factions. Since she has chosen to align herself with Xuanyuan, she cannot continue cultivating the Power of Water unless she wants to become Xuanyuan's "food."

With this Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul, Li Yang has many paths to take in the future, so why provoke his master?

Normally, to avoid suspicion, people would avoid using objects related to Power of Water in front of their master.

Even if this spatial bag is only the color of water.

Li Yang said, "It's alright, Master won't hold it against me."

Rabbit ears. "!"

Li Yang had already picked up the light blue spatial bag to retrieve the 1 million Sixth Grade Star Core.

The old master of the Star Repository Pavilion said leisurely, "Youth is truly wonderful."

The rabbit ears understood her unspoken meaning.

She was implying that the Bone Peach Mother Tree was young and arrogant.

At this point, Xuanyuan certainly wouldn't care. But once the Bone Peach Mother Tree was no longer of any use, all of this would be brought up as evidence of her disrespect for elders.

However, what they didn't understand was that Li Yang was intentionally creating a frivolous persona.

The Bone Peach Mother Tree is inherently reckless and impulsive. Coupled with the fact that she has consumed too many people, her Spirit Sea has been polluted. If she were to appear too calm, composed, and cautious, it would seem rather odd.

Li Yang was always mindful of her surroundings; walking on a tightrope, she couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest.

Li Yang opened the blank box and saw that it was filled with Sixth Grade Star Core!

She now possesses a large number of Star Core.

Compared to the resources plundered by the Lost Space Society over the years, it's nothing.

Xuanyuan immediately offered her 1 million Sixth Grade Star Core, partly because he genuinely valued the Bone Peach Mother Tree, and partly because these 1 million Rank Sixth Grade Star Core were nothing to him.

Li Yang casually took out a Sixth Grade Star Core and asked Sister Longevity to appraise it.

The Star Skill unlocked from the Star Core are pretty average.

Although it is indeed of Sixth Grade quality, there are still differences in quality within the Sixth Grade.
