Chapter 371: A New Star System
Outer space of Mars.
Various satellites and the Mars Surveyor spacecraft all gathered together to witness the sea-change-like transformation that took place on Mars in a short period of time.
It caused the experts, professors, and big shots who witnessed all this.
To feel their hearts rising and falling incessantly, as if they had just experienced a roller coaster.
Especially when they saw the golden lakes appearing on Mars, which looked ethereal and Immortal-like no matter how one viewed them.
This caused some people to feel a stir in their hearts, wondering if Mars was being transformed into a dwelling place for the transcendent.
Or perhaps, being a bit bolder and based on the ancients' various speculations about Mars, whether Mars had been a gathering place for transcendents in the past.
It was only abandoned for various reasons.
And now, because of a great change unseen in a millennium, transcendent forces had restarted this transcendent ruin.
Otherwise, why would it be Mars specifically, and not Mercury or Jupiter?
If successful, Su Ping had a much broader long-term plan in his heart.
Naturally, there were others to take charge.
It was not the case that the higher the Dharma Power, the faster the purification.
Extreme Yin Qi had many uses and could also replace various main materials to refine Yin-Yang Spirit Origin Pill, which was useful for Cultivators below the Return to Void Realm to improve their cultivation and increase the probability of a successful breakthrough.
And if one could catch a Spirit Light Misty Fish during this time, it would further accelerate the progress of this grand plan.
Fortunately, Su Ping did not need to worry about these things; having the ore and the method of extraction was enough.
As for the manpower, material resources, and large amount of time required for extraction.
These people did not guess this when they were fantasizing.
Su Ping intended to contract all the planets: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
In terms of difficulty, it seemed simpler, and the feasibility was also higher.
Of course, high as it was, for Su Ping, just how to set up the array and how to handle the gravitational fields between the planets was filled with countless difficulties.
The Cultivators responsible for mining and refining were basically those survivors from the Five Elements World who had been taken in by Su Ping.
What was being utilized was still the power of the planets and the cosmic starry sky to control the Sun... compared to the Dyson Sphere on the technological side.
That old Cultivator who had just been complaining privately immediately became full of energy and headed to the team leader to collect tools.
After exceeding a certain quota of mining and refining, there would be point rewards.
Even Cultivators at the Return to Void Realm could further strengthen their physical bodies and Divine Souls by bathing in heavy water containing Extreme Yin Qi.
In Su Ping's plan.
Su Ping also did not forget to obtain the heavenly treasures that had formed by chance on Mars over that long period of time.
As the new regulations described by the Golden Immortal Text shone brightly in the sky.
There was also a series of reward measures.
Otherwise, did Su Ping take so many people under his command just out of kindness, or for the sake of feeling happy?
Su Ping felt a stir in his heart and cut out the entire valuable ore vein, preserving it intact within the Array Diagram World.
And relying on his intuition, he could feel that his comprehension and means were already sufficient to solve the various problems involved.
Then, using these planets as nodes and the Sun as the center, he constructed a super-large Diurnal Star Spirit Gathering Array with the Sun-System Inner Circle as his Yuanling.
While refining Mars and making its surface gradually vibrant with life.
It allowed every Cultivator to look up and see the corresponding regulations emerge in their minds.
Anyway, no one was competing with him, and the World Consciousness was ignorant and unknowing.
"After leaving the Five Elements World, I didn't expect that I would still have to be a miner!"
And beside this mass of Cold Ice Heavy Water, he saw large areas of ore containing Extreme Yin Qi.
It was just that the current Su Ping was still very confident in himself.
Using these points, one could exchange for Spirit Pills, various Secret Techniques, and cultivation methods.
Using brute force would only cause that precious Extreme Yin Qi to vanish on the spot.
As an attempt at another path.
This old Cultivator did not mutter to himself for long.
In the originally dry underground riverbed of Mars, Su Ping discovered a mass of gathered Cold Ice Heavy Water.
Under such a great array, Su Ping felt that this was the Immortal-cultivation version of a Dyson Sphere.
The Innate Gang Qi hidden deep in the planet's core was sucked into the Sun Moon Star Chart, giving the Wind Technique in the array diagram more power.
It was all because in the regulations, besides measures to punish Cultivators who did not complete their tasks.
Mars was just the beginning.
It was just that wanting to extract this kind of Extreme Yin Qi from the ore was extremely troublesome; the steps were complex and required patience.
Then a great Cultivator received the order and led a large group of anxious and uneasy Cultivators to this mining area to work in an orderly manner.
There was no help for it; who told them they were the last ones to arrive?
During this period, some Cultivators saw the new environment and understood the work they had to do, and their minds were a bit dazed:
"When I was in the Five Elements World, I was a miner."
And there were also vacation exchanges, where one could go to the Floating Market to rest and relax.
To tell the truth, that Floating Market.
In terms of scale and grade, it was actually inferior to the large Markets under the command of the original great sects of the Five Elements World.
However, for the current Cultivators of the Five Elements World, those entertainments and pastimes had long since ceased or even disappeared.
Facing the invasion of Evil Spirits, they were busy all day with cultivation and resisting Evil Spirits, almost never having a day of leisure or rest.
So, let alone a Market where nearly a million Cultivators resided, it was at least something.
Even those small Markets or gathering places were full of attraction to these Cultivators of the Five Elements World who had been living in fear for so long!
Many Cultivators truly had not tasted meat for three months!
After Su Ping relocated the valuable mineral veins away from Mars.
He crushed a Teleportation Talisman and returned to the Moon Surface.
Just as Su Ping was planning to continue staying beside the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree, borrowing the Jianmu Divine Tree and the amplification of Mars to comprehend his subsequent path of cultivation.
Su Ping suddenly felt something in his heart, and suddenly had a premonition regarding the direction of the Sun.
Ever since discovering that there was something strange around the Sun.
Su Ping had let his spokesperson tinker with things, having various forces launch probes toward the Sun.
Inside one of the probes was a Nascent Soul clone that Su Ping had created using a branch of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree.
This clone entity could turn ethereal, attach itself to the probe, and after a long journey.
It had already arrived at that unstable region next to the Sun several days ago.
The closer he got, the more Su Ping could feel the instability of this region.
Even with the perception of his clone, he could feel that this area was filled with Space Turbulence everywhere.
After the probe approached, it suffered constant malfunctions as expected, and after persisting for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, it became space junk floating in that region.
Su Ping's purpose was to observe, so he let his Nascent Soul clone continue to drift along with the waves in that region.
"Interesting!"
Su Ping, who saw the scene clearly through his clone's observation, trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
It was precisely within that star-filled region near the Sun.
In a region filled with chaotic magnetic field turbulence and cosmic ray energy, where space itself was constantly vibrating.
Suddenly, a pitch-black, rectangular-shaped spaceship jumped into existence.
And after appearing.
This spaceship, about one hundred meters in length and over ten meters in height, began to spin in place.
This was also due to the chaotic space.
Although the hull was only a hundred meters long, when viewed from the position of Water Blue Star, it was reflected as being as incomparably huge as Jupiter.
To the extent that it could cast a Shadow on the surface of the Sun.
In any case, it was just a clone.
Curiosity made Su Ping reach a decision.
Immediately, Su Ping's Nascent Soul clone detached from the malfunctioning probe and rushed toward the spinning rectangular spaceship.
The closer he got to the spaceship, which should have been located in the central area, the greater the intensity of the Space Turbulence became.
And this turbulence did not cause low damage to Su Ping's Nascent Soul clone, which had nothing to protect it.
In a mere few dozen breaths.
While Su Ping's Nascent Soul clone was rushing toward the spaceship.
Its volume had already been reduced to only one-fourth of its original size.
Fortunately, after sticking to the hull.
Su Ping did not feel any supernatural power.
This allowed Su Ping to enter the cabin with ease.
He then attached himself to the weakest living being nearby with the poorest resistance.
Hum!
Woo woo woo woo!
The cabin shook continuously, and the sound of alarms was incessant.
Inside the cabin, all the crew members were not much different from the humans of Water Blue Star.
It was just that their hair color and pupil color were more varied, and their facial features were a bit more three-dimensional.
These crew members were all wearing protective suits that made them look a size larger.
However, even with these measures.
Many crew members still experienced varying symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
Some crew members even suffered from severe hallucinations, and even drew weapons to harm their companions.
"Hell, this must be hell!"
"Those damn scientists, they clearly knew the result long ago, yet they still kept wanting us to come here to die!"
The vice-captain of this spaceship opened his blood-red eyes, looked at the ceiling, and shouted loudly:
"It's reached the limit, turn back, hurry and turn back!"
The captain, a middle-aged man with long blue hair, bit his lip to endure the headache.
He panted, staring at the specially made timer in his hand.
In this space, time also seemed to have been affected, and all the clocks had become unreliable.
After shaking for a while, he saw the timer finally reach the end.
Only then did he let out a turbid breath and issue the evacuation order.
It was also when he issued the order that the captain was startled to notice that the operator had already fainted on the floor.
He cursed "damn it" under his breath and hurriedly crawled over to activate the spaceship's evacuation procedure.
As flames erupted from the rear of the spaceship, a huge amount of energy in the central area also caused a pitch-black gap to appear.
A powerful suction force emanated from that gap, allowing the spaceship to adjust its direction and then rush into it.
Once it approached the gap.
Just as it had when it arrived, the spaceship vanished from the spot in a flash.
Afterward, the spaceship appeared beside the outer space of a pale blue planet that already possessed several large-scale artificial space structures.
All the discomfort in the cabin subsided along with it.
The alarm sounds also gradually deepened until they disappeared.
The captain panted as he looked at the operator on the floor.
He felt somewhat sorry for the operator's encounter.
Many experiences exploring Other-dimensional Space made the captain believe that once someone fell into a coma in that Other-dimensional Space,
it was highly likely they would become a vegetable for life, eventually becoming one of the many materials on an experimental table.
A lucky few would also suffer from severe schizophrenia, living in a dedicated psychiatric hospital for the rest of their lives, receiving observation and treatment.
And then, they were generally short-lived, eventually still becoming materials on an experimental table.
However, this was also fate.
After all, after the Blue Federation implemented its plan to fly out of the home planet, it immediately discovered a Space Anomaly Point near the home planet.
And after discovering an Other-dimensional Space that was difficult to understand with the current level of technology because of it,
the exploration of Other-dimensional Space was, by nature, a game for the brave.
Oh, right, besides being a game for the brave, it was also a game for losers.
As exploration after exploration made all parties realize the danger of this activity,
except for the Elite specifically trained by each party,
more crew members were, in fact, those losers who carried massive debts and had no other way out besides participating in Other-dimensional Space exploration.
This operator was one of those people.
It was heard that he had incurred a large amount of debt to pay for his mother's medical treatment and had been forced to accept this mission.
"What a pity... but don't worry."
"Even if you become a vegetable, the Federation will definitely pay the money that is owed."
"After all, although I don't know the situation, the big shots of the entire Federation have shown a rare level of support and enthusiasm for the exploration mission."
Just as he was thinking this, the captain suddenly noticed the operator on the floor twitch his body.
Afterward, he slowly lifted his upper body and opened his azure blue eyes to look at the captain.
Seeing these beautiful eyes devoid of any emotional color,
the captain sighed slightly:
"Sigh, as expected, waking up is also a mental patient."
"Don't worry, I'll visit you when I go to see my old friend, and I'll bring you something good to eat."
The captain patted the shoulder of the awakened operator.
Afterward, he got up and began to busy himself.
The operator was silent for a few seconds as clarity gradually returned to his eyes.
Su Ping's Deity Transformation clone fully awakened within this new body.
"I suppose I've possessed the body of an alien?"
"Let me see, it doesn't look much different from a normal adult male."
"It's more like a mortal from the cultivation world; the physical fitness is quite a bit better than my family back home, capable of living over one hundred and fifty years without illness or disaster."
"And, this body seems to have a not-so-bad Spirit Root."
"However, there are no traces of cultivation techniques, nor are there traces of physical body refinement."
"Wait... the Spirit Root seems to possess a tiny bit of activity?"
"Is this... because of experiencing the Space Turbulence?"
Su Ping immediately thought of the Space Turbulence at the Space Anomaly Point beside the Sun.
Ordinary people under such turbulence indeed have a probability of accidentally activating their own Spirit Body and Spirit Root.
It's just that this is not a continuous or crude activation.
Not only is the awakening incomplete, but the aftereffects should also be quite significant.
And even if a natural divine ability is awakened,
without Dharma Power and without Spirit Qi to drive it,
what can be used... perhaps only mental power remains.
In other words, this exploration plan of the other world should be able to bring some mentally-related ability users to this world?
It's just that these ability users not only have poor endurance, but in terms of ability, perhaps they could manage to make a piece of A4 paper float?
Su Ping slumped his body back onto the floor, closing his eyes to read the memories.
He could feel that because there was no Spirit Qi, he also had no Spirit Stone.
All divine abilities and spells had to rely on the Dharma Power converted by his own clone to cast.
This made the casting process relatively very slow.
Fortunately, it would take quite some time for the spaceship to return to the Spaceport.
The crew members were each busy, and no one came to trouble him.
Perhaps they would even think it was good that he just lay there quietly without adding trouble to others...
