521: Chapter 521 Departure

Upon returning to Azure Dragon Island, Xiao Weiqing instructed Xiao Yin not to expose the Star Dome.

He then contacted Ning Xing, Xie Zhiyuan, and the others.

The escaping Demonic Race Demigod was slain.

As for the Demon Venerables and the few remaining Great Demon Kings, Xiao Weiqing ignored them; Blue Star couldn't always rely on him, as he was set to leave in three days.

Having finished these tasks,

Xiao Weiqing took Wei Lan, Qian Yi, and Palace Master Yun Shu Yunshu for a tour around Blue Star to see the strange sights of various regions, and the four of them spent two days together in shameless bliss.

Initially, Palace Master Yun Shu Yunshu was somewhat resistant, but at the thought of not knowing when she would see Xiao Weiqing again, she yielded to his wishes.

The third day.

Evening.

Xiao Weiqing returned to Luo Jiang Prefecture on time.

He sent Wei Lan and Qian Yi to Azure Dragon Island, while Palace Master Yun Shu Yunshu returned to the Vermilion Bird Palace. Xiao Weiqing disliked the feeling of parting, so he chose to say his goodbyes in advance.

As for that Dominator Realm Soul Cultivation Technique, he left it for Palace Master Yun Shu Yunshu.

Even with only a third of the Star Contemplation Method, it would be enough for Wei Lan and Qian Yi to Cultivate to the Star Lord Realm.

In the courtyard,

Hendrick and San Bai were already waiting.

"Are things handled?"

"Yes."

Xiao Weiqing nodded. In truth, there wasn't much to handle; without the Yao Race, Blue Star would continue as it was. Even having reached the Star Lord Realm, he had no intention of changing its natural course.

"Then let's set off."

"San Bai."

"Received."

A virtual panel appeared before San Bai, displaying a model of a miniature spaceship.

He reached out and tapped it.

In less than three seconds,

Hum~

As if teleporting, a spaceship brimming with technological sophistication suddenly appeared above Luo Jiang Prefecture City.

The side hatch of the ship opened.

"Let's go."

Hendrick lifted off the ground and flew toward the hatch, with San Bai following closely behind.

Xiao Weiqing felt a strange sense of melancholy. He sighed and took to the air, flying toward the hatch.

Once Xiao Weiqing entered the ship, the hatch closed.

Without any warning,

The ship vanished from Luo Jiang Prefecture and appeared in space the next moment.

Inside the ship,

Xiao Weiqing gazed silently at the azure planet through the porthole, his heart filled with reluctance.

"Stop staring; it's not like you're never coming back."

"Once you join the Holy Land, Blue Star can join the Fifth Universe Civilization. At that point, you can enter the virtual world and return whenever you like."

San Bai patted Xiao Weiqing on the shoulder.

"What do you mean?"

"Enter the virtual world and return whenever I like?"

San Bai explained, "How should I put it?"

"For example, your Blue Star is like a remote, impoverished backwater, but this backwater produced a Genius—you—and now we've taken an interest in you."

"Once you pass the assessment and join us, your Blue Star will have an official identity. Then... then we'll connect you to the network. Yes, connect you to the network."

"It's just like the internet on your Blue Star; you should be able to understand it that way."

"But the network I'm talking about is far more Advanced than yours. It's a realistic virtual world where you can meet your family and friends."

"Just like this."

San Bai waved his hand.

A star map appeared.

Within it was a pale green planet, with eight identical-looking spaceships floating around it, forming a square.

Suddenly,

The eight ships emitted pale blue lasers that connected to one another. The blue lasers traced mysterious patterns around the planet, a process that lasted for several minutes.

After a few minutes, all the patterns faded, and the ships disappeared as if nothing had happened.

"That's the scene of joining the Fifth Universe Civilization and constructing a virtual world. Did you see those two characters on the ships?"

"Nan... Wu."

Xiao Weiqing said softly, this time speaking in the Universal Common Tongue.

"Correct."

San Bai nodded, then suddenly looked at Xiao Weiqing. "You know the Universal Common Tongue?"

When San Bai first arrived at Blue Star, he had learned the planet's languages through the internet, and Hendrick had done the same.

Otherwise, Palace Master Yun Shu Yunshu and the others wouldn't have been able to communicate with Hendrick and San Bai previously.

Seeing Xiao Weiqing speak the common tongue now greatly surprised San Bai.

"A little."

San Bai nodded and didn't dwell on it, remembering his master had mentioned the boy might possess the Legacy of an Undying Realm powerhouse, so it wasn't that strange.

"Nanwu is a Level 3 Civilization. This Incubation Ground is within their star map territory, so theoretically, it's under their jurisdiction."

"Once you join the Holy Land and Blue Star has an official identity in the Fifth Universe, they will send people to establish a virtual world for you, integrating you into the family of the Fifth Universe Civilization."

"At that time, even if you are hundreds of millions of light-years away, you'll be able to see the people on Blue Star, just like video calls on your planet."

"However, the virtual world is much more powerful. Your information Incarnation is mapped directly into Blue Star's virtual world, and the feeling is no different from your main body being on Blue Star."

"I see. You should have told me sooner."

Xiao Weiqing sighed; if he had known, Wei Lan and the others wouldn't have been so worried.

"I intended to tell you, but it was a rush. This trip has already wasted more than ten days beyond the original plan."

"Besides, you disappeared with those three beauties of yours for nearly three days. I didn't have a chance to tell you."

Xiao Weiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was true; as soon as he woke up, he dealt with the business at Azure Dragon Island, then went to the Star Dome, and then spent time with the three women, so he hadn't communicated properly with San Bai.

"So, everything you wanted to ask before, I said I'd tell you after you join the Holy Land."

"If you don't pass the assessment, knowing is useless. If you do pass, it'll only be about 20 days anyway."

Xiao Weiqing countered, "Then at least introduce Yunxu Holy Land to me, and tell me what I need to do next. What is this assessment you're talking about?"

"Fine, I'll give you a brief overview. Once you reach the Holy Land, there will be specialists to explain everything in detail."

San Bai tapped several times in mid-air.

A virtual image of a mountain appeared in the ship's hall.

The mountain had distinct layers, with nine visible tiers. The bottom-most layer was pitch black, while the summit was hidden in clouds, its full appearance obscured.

"Look, this is Yunxu Holy Land."

"Yunxu Holy Land is a mountain?"

"No, it's just shaped like a mountain."

San Bai shook his head. He slid his fingers, and the bottom layer of the mountain began to zoom in, further and further, until the entire screen was nothing but pitch black, with the occasional meteorite streaking across the frame.

Xiao Weiqing was confused, unsure of what San Bai was doing.

A minute later.

Finally.

In the virtual display, against the pitch-black background, a speck of white appeared.

Then,

That speck of white expanded rapidly in Xiao Weiqing's eyes, and his pupils dilated simultaneously.

"This... how is this possible?"

Xiao Weiqing's voice trembled slightly.

"What do you mean 'how is this possible'?"

San Bai asked, puzzled.

Xiao Weiqing pointed at the virtual screen. "There's a planet here?"

"Of course."

"But... but you zoomed in on the mountain body countless times, and there's actually a planet at the foot of the mountain?"

"Just how big is Yunxu Holy Land?"

San Bai said exasperatedly, "Don't make such a fuss. Don't do that next time; it's embarrassing. As for exactly how big Yunxu Holy Land is, I don't know either. There are no specific official figures."

"However, it's definitely bigger than your sun."

"Holy... crap..."

Xiao Weiqing subconsciously blurted out an expletive.
