540: Purple Lotus Domain, Yang Family

"I almost messed things up. Little Friend Ning, may I ask what the Saint Yuan's name is?"

God Ning was preparing to bid farewell to the Spirit of the Secret Realm and leave Secret Realm No. 1 when Xu Zhan's voice echoed in his mind.

Outside the Blue Planet, above a planet an unknown distance away, Xu Zhan gazed toward the Blue Planet, feeling fortunate as he murmured to himself.

God Ning looked around, but there was no trace of Xu Zhan's aura or figure.

Pushing aside his astonishment, God Ning spoke up, "Su Yuan."

"Good!"

"Many thanks!"

Hearing God Ning's voice, Xu Zhan offered his thanks and vanished from the spot.

He moved so fast that the naked eye couldn't track him at all.

As he rushed toward Hui Gu Star at a terrifying speed, Xu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, glad he had thought to ask for the Saint Yuan's name in time.

Time had been tight just now, and he had momentarily forgotten to ask the most important question.

Without a name, where would he even go to find the Saint Yuan?

Fortunately, his mind had reacted quickly enough to double back a certain distance to ask Little Friend Ning.

If he had only remembered to ask halfway there, other forces would have already beaten him to the Saint Yuan.

Even at his speed, it would take half a day to travel from the Blue Planet to Hui Gu Star.

In Secret Realm No. 1.

The Spirit of the Secret Realm spoke with a tone of surprise, "Xu Zhan's strength seems even more impressive than I imagined."

"Even among the various overlord-level forces, he would be quite renowned."

"However, he carries an air of decadence. If that decadence dissipates, he will surely be able to take another step forward."

God Ning remained silent. The levels of Xu Zhan and the Spirit of the Secret Realm were too high; with his current strength, he couldn't yet touch upon things at certain levels.

Then, the Spirit of the Secret Realm said to God Ning,

"Little Saint, continue to Cultivate hard."

"With your talent, reaching Xu Zhan's Realm won't be a problem, and it's even possible you might surpass him."

It wasn't worried that God Ning's state of mind would change after learning of a terrifying existence like Xu Zhan.

God Ning's age was somewhere in the middle on Hui Gu Star—older than the younger generation, yet younger than the older generation.

Although he had only lived for several hundred years, his experiences were so rich that some existences who had lived for thousands of years might not have as broad a perspective as him.

After hundreds of years of clashing with 'Yuan,' God Ning's state of mind had long been as steady as a rock and would not be easily shaken.

Instead, it would trigger the sharp edge within him that hadn't been shown for a long time.

"Alright, I'm heading back."

God Ning bowed slightly to the Spirit of the Secret Realm, and then the Spirit of the Secret Realm sent him to the exit of the Secret Realm... Hui Gu Star, Zi He Domain.

Su Yuan and Ning Zhewang appeared in an unfamiliar place.

Looking around, the eyes of both men gradually widened.

Not far away was a place resembling a port, surrounded by dozens of floating metal warships filled with a sense of high technology.

Each warship emitted a soul-stirring dark gold light, giving Su Yuan and the other a massive shock.

What shocked them even more was that on the surface of each warship were dozens of Martial Artists dressed identically, each with a Realm fluctuating between the Star Power Realm and the Star Realm.

At a glance, there were at least several hundred in the Star Power Realm and Star Realm.

Observing the situation, each person's apparent age was between twenty-five and thirty years old, and they seemed to be performing warship maintenance work.

Every one of them looked serious and meticulous.

"Is this the strength of a high-level planet? So many in the Star Power Realm and Star Realm doing maintenance work."

Ning Zhewang was also somewhat dumbfounded. He sent a voice transmission to Su Yuan while looking away to scan the surroundings with curiosity.

Su Yuan looked up. The sky of Hui Gu Star was completely different from the blue sky and white clouds of the Blue Planet; it was a vast sea of stars filled with immense Star Power.

Sensing the flow and changes of the Qi and blood in his body, the cultivation speed brought by the Star Energy Divine Emperor Breathing Technique Advanced Version accelerated once again.

On the Panel, the qi and blood value ticked up once every second.

One minute later.

During this time, Su Yuan stared motionless at the Panel, while Ning Zhewang looked around and walked about like a curious child.

Through observation, Su Yuan saw that his Qi and blood increased by five points every minute.

That meant three hundred in an hour!

Seven thousand two hundred qi and blood value in a day!

How outrageous was the Star Energy Divine Emperor Breathing Technique Advanced Version!

Just by idling and cultivating, his Qi and blood increased by seven thousand two hundred in a day!

At this rate, he could advance to the middle stage of the Star Power Realm in about ten days!

His cultivation speed had skyrocketed!

"Since you two are here, why haven't you come to register your information?"

"How interesting. One is not very old, while the other's Physical Body age is older than his spiritual age."

"What a strange combination."

A man appeared silently in front of Su Yuan and Ning Zhewang.

The duo's eyes fixed on the man.

They saw a middle-aged man wearing blue overalls standing before them, looking at them with an odd expression.

"Register?"

"Register for what?"

Ning Zhewang showed a look of vigilance. This person's Realm was higher than his own; he should be in the Star Suppressing Realm.

This was a port, and the surroundings didn't look like a distribution point for terminal devices.

Therefore, the registration this person spoke of wasn't about activating a terminal device or registering their identities.

"As warship maintenance personnel for the Yang Family, of course!"

"Aren't you here to apply for the job?"

The odd look on Liang Yue's face intensified, and he then took out a terminal device to project a recruitment notice to Su Yuan and Ning Zhewang.

[The Yang Family is recruiting twenty Star Power Realm and ten Star Realm warship maintenance personnel. Star Power Realm earns 4,500 star coins per month, and Star Realm earns 12,000 star coins per month. Interested parties please find Liang Yue at the Yang Family Warship Port before 6:00 PM to apply.]

[Note: Please discuss specific salaries for sub-Realms with Liang Yue in person.]

Staring at this recruitment notice, Su Yuan and Ning Zhewang were speechless. By a strange stroke of luck, they had become job applicants.

It wasn't surprising that someone would think that.

The two of them had stayed there for a minute without leaving, and a Star Power Realm and a Star Realm were curiously sizing up the surroundings; from any angle, they fit the recruitment criteria.

Then, Su Yuan noticed the time in the upper left corner of the terminal device.

[yanluo new calendar, Year 1409]

[September 3rd]

[17:57]

If he remembered correctly, the time they left the Blue Planet should have been close to 4:00 PM on August 3rd.

So, there was a one-month date difference and a two-hour time difference between Hui Gu Star and the Blue Planet.

"Apologies, we aren't here to apply for the job."

Ning Zhewang shook his head and said to Liang Yue.

The odd look on Liang Yue's face gradually faded, and his eyes slid toward Su Yuan as he asked in confusion,

"I see you're not very old. Why aren't you studying at a War Academy at a time like this? What are you doing here?"

"And you, you must be this kid's older brother. Instead of letting your brother study properly, why are you wandering around?"

"Fine, since you two aren't here to apply, then go home."

With that, Liang Yue shook his head and turned to leave.

Su Yuan observed Liang Yue's expression. This person looked kind and honest; he likely wasn't a bad person.

So, he sent a voice transmission to Ning Zhewang: "Brother Wang, perhaps we can ask this person where the distribution point for terminal devices is."

Ning Zhewang replied: "I had the same thought."

"Brother Liang, please wait a moment!"

Ning Zhewang called out to Liang Yue.

Combining the recruitment information from earlier, this person was most likely that Liang Yue, so Ning Zhewang directly called him Brother Liang.

"What is it?"

Liang Yue turned around in confusion.

"Brother Liang, that..."

"May I ask if there is a terminal device distribution point nearby?"

Liang Yue's honest face showed surprise, and after a brief thought, he asked in astonishment, "Did you two just arrive at Hui Gu Star?"

"Yes."

Su Yuan and Ning Zhewang looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
