Chapter 2693 - 2: Illicit Cultivation!
"The technology or travel methods you possess make traveling ten thousand light-years arduous, and traveling twenty thousand light-years almost impossible. With our massive energy circle, traveling several tens of thousands of light-years would be sheer fantasy if not for the Insect Clan’s domain technology and my strength. So, during this process, try to avoid causing significant fluctuations in cultivation, especially those aiming for advancement—hold back your ambitions. The entire journey will take about a year; if you wish to advance, restrain yourself for a year. I won’t name names; you know who I’m talking about."
After addressing some questions, the Insect Queen suddenly mentioned this matter.
Although the crowd didn’t hear her name anyone, they all turned their attention to the Grade A area where Jia Yan resided, which is precisely where Jia Yan is located.
Of all those present, or those external Galaxy Level existences, the only one likely to advance within a year is Jia Yan.
Star River level entities are not commonplace; while there are quite a few present, among them truly capable of advancement, only Jia Yan is likely, especially since he attempted advancement before but failed.
He genuinely has the possibility of advancing within a year. Unfortunately, now that the Insect Queen has spoken, Jia Yan can only suppress his advancement.
"I understand, Your Majesty the Queen, even if I wish to advance, I’ll restrain myself until we reach the Milky Way center."
Jia Yan chuckled bitterly, then settled down to cultivate and rest in his Grade A territory, carrying the Adisa on his back.
Actually, he’s not that compliant.
As a Strong One racing against time, although he previously chose not to advance, if the right time for advancement arrived, he would definitely choose to advance.
Jia Yan’s advancements are always immediate, and timely advancements have previously led him to counterattack enemies successfully. Now, with the crisis-filled Milky Way Central Region in sight, how could he give up the opportunity to advance?
Of course, he wouldn’t genuinely choose to advance within this energy circle. The Insect Queen clearly stated that advancement here could cause problems in the circle, leading to its halt or even explosion, which would not only risk others’ lives but also potentially blow Jia Yan himself to bits.
He’s thinking of advancing inside the subspace when the time comes.
The energy circle’s speed appears to slightly surpass the speed of Adisa within the tenth-degree subspace. However, if Jia Yan temporarily accesses the subspace to cultivate and advance, then erupts with Adisa’s short-term speed to catch up with this energy circle, it’s still possible.
So he has made up his mind; he absolutely will not compromise. At most, he’ll have the Queen open a section of the energy circle for him to exit. She shouldn’t mind this brief delay, right?
The Insect Queen, unaware of Jia Yan’s intentions and believing he would be obedient, continued discussing knowledge about the Milky Way Central and the key points to note before discontinuing her conversation with the relatively important Galaxy Level existences.
This conversation ended, suggesting that in the coming year, the Insect Queen would refrain from speaking further. During this long voyage, she also wished for no one to decide on advancement due to her guidance. Although she generally welcomes advancement, at this critical juncture, advancement would be inconvenient. Stopping the energy circle for someone to advance wouldn’t work, nor would pressing on.
Stopping the energy circle and then continuing would waste not just a month’s time but at least half a year, alongside wasted energy, rendering it not worthwhile.
Of course, Jia Yan possesses the Space Talent, saving him from such trouble, yet he cannot be treated as a special case.
Today passed.
The others lingered within the energy circle, either venturing to its edge to sense the Insect Queen’s Domain Lord Strength’s Great Power, or chatting in small groups, practicing certain techniques within the vast energy circle.
Jia Yan alone was steadfastly hiding in his Grade A training palace, continuously cultivating without sparing a moment.
Others remembered the Insect Queen’s advice against advancement, but Jia Yan simply ignored it, persistently enhancing his strength for potential advancement at any time.
"That brat, does he treat my words as nothing but noise?"
Not far from Jia Yan, the Insect Queen’s face, resembling that of a human woman’s, was filled with displeasure.
This Outsider Jia Yan is an Avatar she found from the distant Orion Arm.
To the Insect Queen, the Orion Arm is truly far, only marginally within her sphere of influence. Many Strong Ones there don’t even recognize the Insect Queen’s name, so she didn’t hold much expectation for any notable Strong Ones emerging from what she deemed a remote village.
Especially when the energy entity initially relayed its message, she was delighted to find that the so-called ’Evolutionary Creature’ indeed existed, thus she focused considerable attention on Jia Yan, which is why Jia Yan, in his weaker days, sensed some force observing him.
