Chapter 525 - 259: Birdman
Mo Ling’Er and Miao Miaomiao’s sudden arrival was a joyous surprise for Xue Wenhui and her husband.
Their son finally had official girlfriends.
As Zhao Rui’s power grew stronger and stronger, they had been quite worried that he might become like the masters shown on TV—cold and heartless, cutting off all worldly emotions and desires.
Now, their son hadn’t just found a girlfriend, he’d brought home two at once. For them, this wasn’t something to criticize; it was a joyous occasion.
As for monogamy... well, that was a thing of the past.
This was a new era where the Martial Dao reigned supreme. The practice of a man having multiple wives had already begun, both openly and secretly, throughout society.
Some female Martial Artists even had two husbands.
The Court’s power was no longer sufficient to constantly restrain the lives of these High-tier Martial Artists, let alone a supreme expert like Zhao Rui.
Zhao Jincheng and his wife had long known the extent of their son’s current power. However, they were naturally low-key people who understood the wisdom of concealing their strengths, so they never revealed their true identities.
They just wanted to live an ordinary, peaceful life.
Otherwise, forget mansions and luxury cars; they could have hired a hundred servants, and the Court would not have uttered a single word of protest.
After finishing their meal at home and resting for a while, the group followed Mo Ling’Er’s suggestion and headed to Qingcheng Mountain.
After all, the experts of the Qingcheng Sect stood guard there, offering them the greatest possible protection.
Everything on Qingcheng Mountain had already been prepared. Not only was a private courtyard newly renovated, but it was also fully equipped with all kinds of home appliances. Two Daoist Children were even assigned to be at their beck and call.
Mo Ling’Er also requested two residences from Sect Leader Weichen so that she and Miao Miaomiao could come and stay anytime to look after Zhao Rui’s parents.
Once all the arrangements were settled, the two women finally departed, returning to their own territories to focus on their Martial Dao cultivation.
For them, the most important thing right now was to advance to the Domain Realm, or even the Realm of Transcendence, as quickly as possible to catch up with Zhao Rui.
Time waits for no one!
Zhao Rui’s departure didn’t cause much of a stir. People had long grown accustomed to Emperor Zhao’s sudden disappearances and reappearances.
Now that the great cosmic era had arrived with a bang, every industry was booming.
The Martial Dao and technology had merged like never before, advancing hand in hand.
Many technological instruments and devices based on Martial Dao True Qi, as well as weapons and equipment based on alien civilizations, were emerging one after another like mushrooms after rain.
High-tier Martial Artists had all donned special power-enhancing Armor. This Armor was modeled after the metallic structure of an alien insectoid race.
It possessed extreme toughness and defensive power.
It also had the ability to use True Qi to propel the user’s body for rapid movement.
This greatly increased the power of an individual Martial Artist in a short amount of time.
Even ordinary Grandmasters, with the protection of the Armor, could fly into the sky to battle High-tier Beasts.
As a result, when facing the Exotic Beasts from the outer seas, the Central State people gradually gained an overwhelming advantage, slowly driving them out of the coastal regions and airspace.
As their territory expanded, a large number of satellites and improved Spaceships were launched back into orbit.
Humanity finally came to a new understanding of the blue planet beneath their feet.
New Blue Star!
In the short span of a single year, it had reappeared before their eyes with a completely new face.
...
「On Titan, a moon orbiting Saturn!」
A lonely figure faced the starry sky, as motionless as a withered tree.
Frigid gales of nitrogen swept over his body, leaving behind thick layers of dust and gradually burying his form.
He remained completely unchanged, letting the extreme weather rage around him.
From a distance, he looked like a small boulder, standing firm and unchanging for eternity.
The night sky on Titan was terrifying. The massive image of Saturn hung there like a horrifying demon’s eye, staring down at the surface.
The oppressive megalophobia it induced made one’s heart tremble at the sight, as if falling into a nightmare!
Night fell without notice, and the dawn never seemed to break.
At the distant Boundary Wall, a hundred-meter-long ship abruptly warped out of space, revealing its form.
The ship moved quickly along the Boundary Wall and soon found a damaged breach. A torrent of Dark Energy, the conduit between the two realms, poured madly through the opening like a burst dam.
The ship hovered as a massive hatch slowly opened. Two men in flowing white robes flew out.
Their appearance was almost identical to that of humans, with only slight differences in the angles and shapes of some of their facial features.
However, this didn’t detract from a normal sense of aesthetics; on the contrary, they were quite handsome and elegant.
"It’s actually a hidden Star Realm!"
one of them said with a frown.
"It seems some great power sealed off this part of the cosmos. Now that a breach has appeared, that power must have either perished or lost the ability to maintain the seal."
"Should we broadcast the wide-area coordinates?"
"Not yet. Let’s take a look first."
After speaking, the two turned and flew back into the ship. It quickly started up, transformed into a streak of light, and flew through the gap in the Boundary Wall into the sealed Star Realm that housed Blue Star.
"It’s quite peaceful here!"
Inside the ship, one of the white-robed men scanned the scenery outside and said with a nod.
"It must have been sealed for at least ten thousand years. This great power had incredible methods. I just wonder if this place holds some astonishing secret, or...?"
The other man shook his head. The ship’s search data was constantly updating, rapidly analyzing and recording the conditions of every planet they passed.
Just as this ship breached the Boundary Wall, the figure sitting cross-legged on Titan suddenly opened his eyes.
Two rays of rosy light flashed through them.
"Hm? A life signal... it flashed by for a moment. Right there!"
Aboard the ship, one of the white-robed men’s pupils dilated slightly. He pointed in the direction of Titan and spoke.
