Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Terry thought as he spoke out, his actions might not be to the other’s liking.

But so what if they didn’t like it? He just didn’t believe the other would actually strike without a word.

However, he truly didn’t expect that even though they didn’t physically strike, it was nearly the same as if they had.

Just a simple word "Get lost," exploded in his mind.

His entire body shuddered, with dizziness overtaking him in an instant, almost causing him to collapse.

Fortunately, he was seated in a hovercar, so he didn’t make a fool of himself on the spot.

The next moment, his expression changed as he shouted, "How daring, to directly use a spiritual attack?"

"Ha," that wild presence sneered disdainfully, "You think you’re worthy of me using a spiritual attack?"

After that, the presence instantly vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

If not for the lingering dizziness in his mind, Terry would have really thought he’d imagined it all.

Illusions were impossible, for the disappearance of the other’s aura indicated they simply didn’t care about him!

This kind of behavior indicated that he was not being treated as an equal Supreme, which was full of arrogance.

Terry had done the same to ordinary people before because he felt it was unnecessary to care about their feelings.

But at this moment, he himself was met with the same treatment.

Realizing this, Terry’s mood was as bad as it could get!

However, he had to seriously consider: Where did this Strong Supreme come from?

Terry knew very well that even among the Supremes, there are varying levels.

Like himself, he belonged to the middle combat power among the Supremes, even though he didn’t want to admit it, he knew it was true.

As for how a middle combat power became a Guardian Supreme... he was just one of the three Guardian Supremes of Paradise.

Above the three Guardian Supremes, there is a Chief Guardian, who is the true Guardian Supreme of the planet!

In simple terms, Paradise Star has the conditions for the government to have four Guardian Supremes.

As a direct comparison, Homeland Star only has two Guardian Supremes and one Chief Guardian.

Of those two Guardian Supremes, one rarely shows up, with the explanation being that there aren’t many big events on Homeland Star.

The truth of the matter might be that Homeland Star lacks funds, so the Supremes are just getting by.

Terry is just one of the three; if he were truly a Strong Supreme, he could compete for the position of Chief Guardian.

But unfortunately, he didn’t even dare to entertain that thought because he knew how terrifying the combat power of the Chief Guardian was.

Admitting to one’s weakness is not easy, but reality forces him to acknowledge it.

The key issue now is that he realized this unknown Supreme’s aura seemed much stronger than the Chief Guardian’s.

Terry didn’t want to admit this either, as it suggested Paradise Star was weak and easily bullied.

But he had been in contact with the Chief Guardian for a long time, and roughly knew how strong he was.

Not to mention, the wild aura that the other just released wasn’t something the Chief Guardian could emit!

He even suspected that the aura, above that of a Supreme, might just be like this?

The particularly terrifying part is that this kind of aura is not only instantaneous but also instantly retracted.

Without reaching the level of a Supreme, one wouldn’t understand the intricacies, and controlling such an aura requires a high level of cultivation and micro operation.

The ability to retract immediately, and cleanly as if it never appeared, is incredibly difficult.

It is important to emphasize: the aura is wild! Wild! Wild!

And the other’s contemptuous attitude also fully demonstrated: they were confident in their strength.

For a moment, Terry was stuck there, unsure of what to do next.

Under normal circumstances, if he encountered such an offense, he would never let it go easily.

Though powerful, I am a Guardian Supreme, don’t I have any reputation to uphold?

But at this moment, he really felt he didn’t want to dwell on it, the other’s strength left him with little resentment.

This mindset is quite normal; feelings like competitiveness, defiance, or even jealousy are based on a narrow gap between the two parties.

When the strength gap is immense, any wise person would lose the will to compete—just look up and admire.

Not to mention, Terry understood very well that his previous behavior was indeed somewhat rash.

It wasn’t about neglecting the feelings of ordinary people, but his actions at the doorstep of this strong entity did indeed seem offensive.

But to just leave like that without a word, is that appropriate?

At this moment, he felt an overwhelming need for a reason to extricate himself from this vortex.

However, finding a reason wasn’t difficult, and he soon realized another issue: he didn’t know what attribute this figure possessed!

Having had a minor clash, yet being unaware of the other’s attributes, this problem was indeed... deeply unsettling!

First, it indicated that the other’s wild aura was purely pressure, untainted by any elemental attribute!

Second, even in the effortless display, the other side has not yet revealed their attribute.

This level of control is unimaginable for him—what kind of person could achieve such feats?

After four or five seconds of silence, he sighed softly, "Let’s go."

This anticlimactic reaction surprised even the attendant in the driver’s seat a bit, "Just leave like this?"

Terry snorted coldly and did not answer. After a long while, he muttered, "I plan to retreat and meditate soon."

The attendant did not dare to ask more, only nodded silently and after a while said, "Shall I accompany you?"

"Alright," Terry replied without hesitation, then sighed slightly, "You should stop worrying about Yunwu Mountain."

The issue of land acquisition in Yunwu Mountain is indeed being manipulated behind the scenes, but it doesn’t concern him much.

In the end, the three major guardians each are responsible for a section of Paradise Star, and Yunwu Mountain happens to fall under Terry’s jurisdiction.

He is reluctant to involve himself further, only casually collecting some tributes, allowing his attendant to benefit a little, and that’s it.

Hearing this, the attendant dared not say more, nodded honestly, and after a while, asked, "Are they... very strong?"

"Not really," Terry answered nonchalantly, "But since I haven’t gained any benefits, is it worth getting involved?"

He wouldn’t tell the attendant the truth. Losing face is only part of the reason.

The other party is too powerful, and careless gossip could provoke their dissatisfaction, causing trouble.

Since he hasn’t gained much, it would be foolish to take the fall for others now.

At this moment, someone inside the guesthouse also expressed surprise. It was none other than Xiang Xue, "This is it... just this?"

"What did you expect?" The Paranoid snorted coldly, "If he really had the guts to stay, I’d admire him, hiss..."

Halfway through speaking, he sucked in a breath, turning to glare angrily at Mu Yu, "What are you doing? It hurts!"

"Oh, it was an accident," Mu Yu responded with a beaming smile, "Admiring you too much, lost control for a moment... does it hurt much?"

"Not too much," the Paranoid smiled and shook his head, "It’s just that no one has dared to do this to me for years."

The Fourth Master, seeing this, couldn’t help but feel sympathetic, even you have this kind of humbling moment? Being a man is really tough.

"The person earlier was the Guardian Supreme of this region, but it seems he’s not very interested in land acquisition."

Xiang Xue, still dissatisfied, said, "But those City Guards and all... many of them act in his name."

Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "If not acting under the Guardian’s name, then whose name should they act under?"

"In any case, we must prioritize our main conflict and not let the backstage manipulators laugh in secret."

"Indeed," Xiang Xue nodded; she wasn’t unreasonable.

But thinking of certain scenes, she still felt a sense of injustice, "But some people fan the flames, and I don’t want to let them go either."

"We can settle accounts slowly later," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "First, let’s figure out the real culprit."

When Terry the Supreme left, many City Guards who were responsible for surrounding noticed this scene.

The hovercars of the Guardian Supremes are quite famous on Paradise Star, especially among the City Guards, hardly any wouldn’t recognize these cars.

The news spread instantly, especially after Terry shouted that the opponent was using a Spiritual Attack.

But in the end, it was the Guardian Supreme who left quietly, without even a parting word.

For most present, this was the biggest spectacle they’d ever seen in their lives.

Soon after, an order came down from above, ordering all City Guards to withdraw.

That’s all that needed to be said, even without accounting for the Strong Supreme, just because a Supreme was involved, this house was not for the City Guards to touch.

Early the next morning, two more people arrived, both A-level, one of whom was the Guard Captain of Paradise Star’s fourth administrative officer.

The two seemed to already know of Terry’s experience and did not seek to meet the unknown Supreme, but directly sought Xiang Xue.

The fourth officer of Paradise Star ranks lower relatively, but should not be underestimated, as he mainly handles the planet’s security issues.

The Guard Captain did not put on airs, and after a few remarks, he mentioned that there might have been a communication misunderstanding regarding the previous land acquisition plan.

If you’re unwilling to be requisitioned, this matter... is negotiable.

Moreover, he expressed that his visit was to show the Central Government’s level of concern regarding this issue.

However, while the land may not be acquired, there’s a prerequisite: your guesthouse operation needs to be integrated under the unified management of Yunwu Mountain tourism.

Xiang Xue, though not extremely experienced, understood clearly what was being said and coldly asked, "So, are you saying your planning is faultless?"

"The planning undoubtedly has its necessities!" the Guard Captain replied without hesitation, "It is the decision of the entire planetary ruling body."

"Don’t give me that," Xiang Xue shook her head, what she might have believed two days ago, but definitely not now.

"It’s my business, I can run it however I wish, as long as it complies with Imperial laws and regulations."

The Guard Captain frowned upon hearing this, then smiled slightly, "Are you referring to management fees? That can be negotiated!"

"As long as you agree to enter unified management, the fees can be reduced or waived for a period... everything can be discussed."

Xiang Xue gave him a peculiar look, not answering for a long time, and after a while, she finally spoke.

"I went to great lengths to invite my big brother here, and you think you can just brush it off... who gave you that confidence?"
