255: Chapter 255 The Hope of the Bluebird Clan, the Advancing Void God Clan!

At an unknown distance far away from the Water Blue Planet.

There lay a region known as the Eternal Night Star Domain.

Within the Eternal Night Star System under its jurisdiction,

there were over a thousand diverse planets.

Among them, the Blue Bird Planet was the most inconspicuous one.

As one of the three hundred and eighty-four branch clans under the Eternal Night Main Clan, the Blue Bird Clan

had once enjoyed a glorious history.

Two in the Immortal Realm, seventy-four at the Peak of the Transcendence Realm,

and thousands of clansmen in the Transcendence Realm.

They had once possessed dozens of planets.

Unfortunately, during a campaign to explore other planets, they encountered a sudden crisis, and almost the entire branch clan was wiped out.

Only Yun Kai, who was at the Peak of the Transcendence Realm, returned heavily injured.

Now, over a decade had passed.

Not only had he failed to Breakthrough to the Immortal Realm and revitalize the Blue Bird Clan,

but he was also barely able to stabilize his own Realm.

The Blue Bird Clan's territory had dwindled to this single, resource-poor small planet with no potential.

It was said that the Branch Clan Council of the star system was running out of patience.

At most, they had three years left.

If he could not nurture ten clansmen with outstanding Aptitude or one with excellence in the Transcendence Realm, this last Blue Bird Planet would be reclaimed and bestowed upon another branch clan.

The name of the Blue Bird Clan would be erased forever.

During these years, Yun Kai

did not adopt a broad approach but focused all his efforts on nurturing his only son, Yun Xin.

Seeing that his son had reached the limits of ordinary Cultivation and was only one step away from the Transcendence Realm, yet had failed to Breakthrough for a long time,

outsiders speculated

that Yun Kai was attempting to have his son use a high-grade star core to Breakthrough, making a stunning debut to bring fame to the Blue Bird Clan.

In reality,

this was indeed Yun Kai's intention.

However,

a year ago, when his son turned eighteen and his race Bloodline underwent Awakening,

he shared a secret with him.

When he broke through to the Transcendence Realm, he could solidify the grade of the star core he used, engraving it as his natal object.

Then, by using other energy containing Star Power, he could replicate it.

In other words,

whichever star-level star core he used for his Breakthrough, he would never lack that grade in the future!

Initially,

Yun Kai was ecstatic.

He thought about reporting it to the branch clan or even the main clan.

He wanted to make this monumental news known to everyone to secure the greatest benefits for Yun Xin.

But he accidentally discovered that a Genius youth from the neighboring Black Eagle Clan had been taken away by the main clan as soon as his talent was revealed, brutally brainwashed, and integrated into the main clan's ranks.

Furthermore, the youth's direct relatives in the branch clan were secretly eliminated.

The purpose of doing so

was simply because someone in the main clan said they wanted to nurture a simple-minded Prodigy who was absolutely loyal to the main clan.

This inside story chilled Yun Kai to the bone and filled him with terror.

He completely abandoned his original plan to report the news.

He prepared to rely on his own strength to quietly nurture his son.

Over the years,

he sold almost all the remaining clan assets he could control.

He searched everywhere to purchase a high-grade star core.

But this was easier said than done.

For ordinary planets, low-grade star cores were relatively common in circulation.

Between planets and within star systems, mid-grade star cores also circulated occasionally.

But this was limited to 4-star and 5-star grades.

6-star grades were already a rare sight.

Yet he was unwilling to let Yun Xin's talent stop at this stage.

He still set his sights on high-grade star cores.

However, even the lowest 7-star grade among high-grade star cores,

while occasionally appearing in Star Domain-level auction houses,

had prices that were far beyond what he could afford.

As time ticked away and no hope was in sight, his heart was in constant torment.

On this day, Yun Xin had just come to ask him and left in disappointment after learning there was still no way to obtain a high-grade star core.

Yun Kai held a blood-red sphere in his hand, gripping it so tightly that his hand trembled slightly.

He was so incompetent!

Just then,

a wave of heat suddenly emanated from the sphere in his hand.

A voice even echoed in his mind.

“My Lord, are you there?”

Yun Kai looked surprised.

This sphere was a treasure passed down by the Clan Chief of the Blue Bird Clan.

It was said to be able to connect to any location outside the Universe, allowing for bartering and sacrificing for whatever was needed.

Initially,

he thought he could rely on this item to bring a turning point for himself and Yun Xin.

But what he didn't expect

was that the only place this item connected to was an uncivilized land.

The few times messages came through, they were either asking for common knowledge that even a three-year-old child would know,

or asking to enhance the physical potential of their race.

Although he had gained a complete star core and several hundred star core fragments from it last time,

he didn't think such a backward race, which still had room to improve its physical potential, could bring him any good news.

He casually gripped the sphere back and spoke.

“Is something the matter?”

The next moment, a look of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes.

If he hadn't misheard, the other party wanted to use a 3-star star core to exchange for a Transcendence Realm Cultivation Technique?

He could hardly believe it.

After connecting with the other party the first two times, he had hopefully given them an exchange list.

But the results had made him ready to give up.

Yet how long had it been, and the other party could already produce a 3-star star core?

But if they had such a thing, how could they not even have a Breakthrough technique?

His eyes were filled with doubt.

After thinking for a moment, his gaze suddenly narrowed.

Could it be that this is a planet seeking freedom?

Yun Kai found it somewhat hard to believe.

In this day and age, the influence of the Universe Alliance covered almost all planets.

Were there still planets attempting to remain unregulated and rely on their own development?

Was the ruler of this planet stupid, or did they have some kind of trump card?

The more Yun Kai thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.

Regardless of the reason, the other party had truly given him a surprise this time.

He casually pulled out a Transcendence Realm Breakthrough technique, thought for a moment, and added an auxiliary technique called [Star-Shattering Art], placing them both on top of the sphere.

The next moment,

the image of a star core slowly flickered.

Bang!

The two techniques he had placed there disappeared, and a star core appeared in his hand.

Looking at the three small stars on it, Yun Kai was dazed.

He really exchanged for it?

...

In the boundless and vast galaxy,

a warship was traveling at high speed.

By occasionally swerving, it avoided the debris in space.

Its indomitable Aura and full firepower indicated that its destination was very clear.

Inside the warship,

Ming Wei woke up once again from the lounge, walked into the hall, and asked,

“How much longer until we arrive?”

Someone bowed and replied,

“We have been traveling for over a month. It should take another two months at most to arrive.”

Ming Wei nodded.

“Everyone, stay alert. This expedition must not fail.”

The clansmen with planet-level strength all looked solemn.

However, the other two in the Transcendence Realm were somewhat indifferent.

One person, who was close and familiar with Ming Wei, even teased directly,

“Brother Wei, you're being too cautious. It's just a wild planet. At most, it has a few people with planet-level strength. What could possibly go wrong?”

Ming Wei sighed.

“planet-level naturally poses no threat.”

“I'm just afraid of encountering someone in the Transcendence Realm.”

The Transcendence Realm cultivator who had just spoken couldn't help but roll his eyes.

“My brother, have you become less courageous after not going out for a long time?”

“Before we set out, Lord Changqing made it very clear that the opponent's defensive strength hasn't reached the Transcendence Realm level at all.”

“Even if they have the strength of the ninth stage of the planet-level, could they possibly Cultivate to the Transcendence Realm in such a short time?”

“Besides, even if there is one person in the Transcendence Realm, with three of us against one, how could we possibly lose out?”

Ming Wei's expression relaxed.

“You're right. I'm overthinking it.”

His gaze looked through the warship into the depths of the Universe.

Kong'er, Father is coming to find you!
