Chapter 2715 - 13: Frozen Planet
Once an idea is born, numerous related thoughts emerge.
Jia Yan believes there is no need for him to adhere to traditional cultivation methods.
After all, he himself is not a conventional strong one.
Not to mention he is an Evolutionary Creature, with a way of energy acquisition different from typical strong ones. Simply by being a Yin-Yang Dao cultivator, his path is unlike that of other strong ones, so why talk about tradition?
Once open-minded, ideas as fantastical as a dream emerge aplenty.
Jia Yan has never been one to follow earnest teachings, and this relates to his reincarnation from an Earth person, thinking about cultivation on his own from the very start.
His mind is always brimming with whimsical ideas.
"I think I can try going to some desolate planets, directly devour objects to see. Ever since I reached the Star River level, after I controlled the Orion Arm, I have never tried anything other than pure energy. Like when I was weaker, I still absorbed certain minerals, but in the later stage, I mainly cultivated with precious resources, neglecting the feeling of an Evolutionary Creature absorbing energy from low-end sources."
He leaves his avatar on this planet, while his true body gradually moves in the high sky.
The idea of finding small planets isn’t simple.
"In this Stronger Star Domain, even if it is just a Gray Star Region, due to high population density and numerous strong ones, there are almost no large celestial bodies without inhabitants. And if I rashly destroy those large celestial bodies, it can easily attract the attention of other strong ones. For me, this is not a good thing."
After all, Jia Yan is new here, unfamiliar with everything.
It’s like in such a densely populated area - there are nowhere near this many in the Orion Arm. If the Orion Arm had this much population, it would have long since become a Big Star Field.
Therefore, he cannot view matters in this starfield with his perception of remote areas.
"Since there aren’t many large celestial bodies for me to test, I will choose to try some smaller ones."
He firmly pursues his idea.
Jia Yan’s real body constantly shuttles between Subspace level one and level two in the starry sky.
He enters the second level because he knows his Subspace Talent might be exposed in front of usual strong ones.
Subspace flight in the first level essentially sticks to the normal Universe Starry Sky. Flying past planets inhabited by strong ones, or passing by the nest of some great power, it is easy to be detected by them.
If a spaceship or something flies by with semi-permanent star or Stellar level strong ones, as long as they have the relevant cultivation technique, they might find traces of Jia Yan.
Thus, Jia Yan cannot perform close first-level Subspace flight. Occasionally, he must enter level two, so that slightly weaker strong ones will not be able to sense him.
This is an area that Jia Yan needs to newly adapt to.
Although level two isn’t strenuous for him, it is inconvenient to observe the outside from within.
So he always has to exit to observe whether the target he wants has appeared outside.
While his true body is flying and observing outside, his avatar remains on that planet.
"My Lord, I’ve heard you want to investigate energy matters?"
Suddenly, while Jia Yan’s avatar was wandering aimlessly on this planet, a voice called out to him.
"Hmm? Did someone leak my intelligence?"
Jia Yan was slightly surprised but felt no anger or fear, merely turned back silently.
The arrival was a Peak-level Sovereign Being, close to the Semi-permanent star, just one step away.
"My Lord, you need not be surprised by my arrival. I learned of your news from a friend, and I also know that you seek substantial energy."
"Hmm, state your intentions. As for that so-called friend of yours, since they leaked my information, there’s no need to leave them alive."
Jia Yan replied indifferently.
This statement left the Peak-level Sovereign Being entirely shocked.
He had heard that this insignificant creature was a Semi-permanent star level, which gave him the courage to appear.
After all, on this planet, semi-permanent star creatures are quite strong, but not extremely so, as there are many of them.
Furthermore, there are two Stellar level strong ones on this planet, akin to pillars of the place.
So he dared to appear, believing this strong one might not be so domineering.
Yet he never expected that the second sentence in their conversation would imply a desire to kill those of similar strength.
"Hehe, My Lord, my friend only wished to help you solve problems, trusting me, hence mentioned you to me. I ask My Lord to be lenient."
This Peak-level Sovereign Being didn’t dare doubt whether Jia Yan was boasting, only hastily offering compliments, showing that he was quite good at handling people.
"Very well, you are eloquent. Now, if you tell me your information, I’ll spare that so-called friend of yours, provided I’m satisfied."
"Uhh..." This left the counterpart completely stunned.
He wanted to discuss selling information with Jia Yan but never expected such a response.
If he admits to selling information, Jia Yan might indeed wipe out that so-called friend. If he denies selling information, then why would he have approached Jia Yan, to provide free intelligence?
