Chapter 169: Mingxu Star Realm

Jiangnan Province is the wealthiest province in the Xia Nation and one of the wealthiest regions on Blue Star, incomparably prosperous.

However, those are big cities and have nothing to do with the Mingxu Star Realm No. 3 entrance.

The No. 3 entrance is built in the suburbs, and a radius of dozens of kilometers is a military restricted area.

Under normal circumstances, civilian aircraft are not allowed to enter this area and may be shot down by electromagnetic towers at any time.

Swoosh!

It was drizzling in the sky, but today a small aircraft was approaching the war fortress about a hundred meters high at extreme speed.

"Martial Artist Xu An, Martial Artist Yang Zhu, the No. 3 Mingxu Fortress is arriving soon." A burly martial artist with a full beard and whiskers said in a low voice.

"Mm." Li Yuan nodded slightly and looked into the distance.

This war fortress also occupied a huge area, although it was far inferior to the 'Kunlun Fortress', it was like an enlarged gymnasium, and even more like a behemoth crawling on the vast earth.

With Li Yuan's current permission, he also roughly knew that if the Star Realm entrance was not fixed, so be it.

Like some stable Star Realm entrances, human civilization would almost always build war fortresses to prevent accidents.

"Through the war fortress, you can enter the Mingxu Star Realm." The thin middle-aged martial artist beside him said softly. "The Mingxu Star Realm has four major entrances, two in our Xia Nation, and two in the Africa Continent. Those two have little to do with us."

Li Yuan couldn't help but look at the thin middle-aged martial artist. This was a Starfire Martial Hall martial artist who was also preparing to enter the Mingxu Star Realm, named Yang Zhu.

Physical fitness level 18.4.

Yang Zhu's eyes were quite vicissitudes, looking at his face, he was in his thirties or forties, and seemed to have experienced many things.

Rumbling~

The aircraft landed slowly and hovered at a height of more than ten meters from the ground.

"Two, we can only send you here." The female pilot smiled. "There will be military personnel in the war fortress to pick you up."

"Alright, thank you."

Li Yuan smiled, grabbed the rectangular weapon box placed aside, got up, and jumped down.

It was just over ten meters.

With Li Yuan's current skills and physical fitness, even if he jumped down from a height of thirty or forty meters, as long as he performed unloading techniques slightly, he would not suffer any harm.

Yang Zhu carried a battle blade and shield on his back and also followed silently and jumped down.

Rumbling~

The aircraft rose rapidly and flew toward the urban area shrouded in smoke and rain at the end of the earth.

"Head, who are these two? They actually need us to send them specially?" The female pilot couldn't help but say. "Have a background?"

"I don't know either." The bearded accompanying martial artist shook his head. "It should be the one called Xu An, he is an L6-level Martial Hall member."

"L6-level? Usually, you have to be a high-level Source Martial Artist, right? So fierce? Could it be the illegitimate child of some Flying Heaven martial artist?" The female pilot was shocked.

"Don't ask too much, there are some things you can't grasp." The bearded big man said. "Just fly your aircraft with peace of mind."

Carrying the weapon box, Li Yuan and Yang Zhu entered a waiting hall along the passage pointed out by two soldiers.

"Two martial artists."

"The trains to the Star Realm are ten people per trip." The soldier smiled. "The previous trip just left, so I have to ask you to wait a while."

"Wait until there are ten people, then set off."

"Over here, there are various free snacks and drinks prepared, two martial artists please help yourselves." The soldier smiled.

"Alright."

"Mm." Li Yuan and Yang Zhu, one had long checked various data rules, and the other was clearly a 'Star Realm veteran', neither asked much.

Waiting silently.

"Xu An, do you want a drink?" Yang Zhu looked at Xu An.

"No need." Li Yuan said indifferently.

Yang Zhu nodded, took a glass of wine and a glass of water from the counter not far away, and handed the water to Li Yuan.

"Thank you." Li Yuan did not refuse.

"Are you a student of a martial arts university?" Yang Zhu sat down and looked at Li Yuan.

"Does it look like it?" Li Yuan smiled indifferently. His face had been fine-tuned.

There are many similar means in modern society.

Coupled with the fact that he was not that famous, there were very few who could recognize him by logic.

"It's not that it looks like it, but it's young."

Yang Zhu smiled. "The requirement to enter the Star Realm is at least level 15, most are not too young... Secondly, today is January 1st, according to practice, many elite students of martial arts universities will start heading to various Star Realms for life-and-death tempering after the holidays end."

"So, I judge you are from a martial arts university."

Li Yuan was dumbfounded, so that's how he was exposed.

One cannot underestimate anyone's observation ability.

"But in your gestures, you are always ready for battle to erupt, you should have experienced quite a few life-and-death battles." Yang Zhu smiled. "Should be a senior student in the fourth or fifth year."

"Brother Yang guessed really accurately." Li Yuan smiled.

Ready for battle to erupt? With skills reaching mental micro-control, as long as he is willing, he can enter this state at any time.

But for Yang Zhu to have this kind of discernment was enough to explain many things.

"The Mingxu Star Realm has been turbulent lately. Brother Yang, are you participating in a guard mission or a combat mission?" Li Yuan asked proactively.

The best way to avoid the other party continuing to ask questions was to ask one back.

"A combat mission, I suppose." Yang Zhu laughed: "Guard missions are so boring. How about you?"

"I'll listen to the arrangements." Li Yuan said vaguely.

Suddenly.

"Hmm? A female martial artist has actually arrived. She looks quite young, and she's really pretty." Yang Zhu's eyes lit up.

"Oh?" Li Yuan also saw the newcomer clearly, his eyes brightening slightly.

"Brother Yang."

"Do you believe me? I can add her V-chat right now." Li Yuan smiled.

"You? I don't believe it." Yang Zhu shook his head with a smile.

"Watch me." Li Yuan smiled and stood up, walking directly toward the female martial artist who had just finished her identity verification.

The female martial artist turned her head and saw Li Yuan, her eyes instantly lighting up.

She recognized Li Yuan.

"Hello, my name is Xu An. Can we add each other on V-chat?" Li Yuan smiled slightly.

The female martial artist was stunned for a moment, then noticed 'Yang Zhu' in the distance and understood instantly, smiling: "Hello, my name is Shi Xiao."

Senior Sister Shi Xiao's sudden appearance was completely beyond Li Yuan's expectations, and to avoid her calling out his real name.

He had no choice but to volunteer to 'pick her up'.

And Shi Xiao was extremely clever; in just one second, she reacted to the fact that Li Yuan had hidden his true identity.

"Little Brother Xu, impressive." Yang Zhu laughed: "This world really is all about looks."

Li Yuan smiled without a word.

Time passed, and more and more martial artists arrived in the waiting hall.

But suddenly.

"Clang~" The metal entry passage in the distance opened, and two medical gurneys were quickly pushed out, with two men covered in blood lying on them.

One of the men had both arms severed, his flesh a bloody mess.

Judging by their attire, they were very likely martial artists.

"Quick."

"Make way, make way!" Several medical personnel pushed the gurneys, flying as they sprinted toward the outside of the war fortress.

Li Yuan, Shi Xiao, and the others subconsciously looked outside through the windows.

Outside the war fortress, a small aircraft was already slowly descending.

This scene.

Caused the nine martial artists in the waiting hall, who had been chatting and laughing, to fall silent, and a shadow was cast over everyone's hearts.

Roaming the Star Realm, the mortality rate is astonishing.

"It looks like the situation in the Mingxu Star Realm is not optimistic." Yang Zhu sighed softly: "Most likely, there has been a direct conflict with the local forces."

Li Yuan and Shi Xiao looked at each other.

Conflict?

Why did they come to roam the Mingxu Star Realm? It was precisely to engage in life-and-death battles.

"It's here."

"Ten martial artists have been gathered. Depart! Depart!" The guard soldier said loudly.

"Clatter~" The train slowly started, and the ten martial artists sat scattered throughout the carriage.

Li Yuan and Shi Xiao, as fellow students from the same academy and both under the Li Yang Sect, naturally trusted each other more.

It was only natural that they sat together.

Hum~ Light screen projections appeared simultaneously on the front, back, and side walls of the carriage.

In the projection, the figure of a burly military officer appeared, his expression serious.

"Respected martial artists, first of all, thank you for voluntarily entering the Star Realm to make contributions to human civilization." The burly officer said solemnly: "What we are about to arrive at is the Tier-One Star Realm, the 'Mingxu Star Realm'."

"The Mingxu Star Realm is extremely vast. The maximum diameter of our known exploration range already exceeds 60,000 kilometers... and it is still far from the limit of the Mingxu Star Realm."

"In the entire Star Realm, besides our human civilization, it is known that two other alien civilizations can enter through the passage, namely the 'Tianliang Civilization' and the 'Linmo Civilization'."

"The Tianliang Civilization is a humanoid civilization. Their appearance is extremely similar to us humans, but their gene sequencing is very different, and there are some essential differences in their aura... Because their appearance is similar, you must be vigilant against imposters from the Tianliang Civilization in the Star Realm."

"The Linmo Civilization is a beast-type civilization..."

"And the most powerful entities in the Mingxu Star Realm are the Star Realm's 'local forces'. Although the origin of a Tier-One Star Realm is not strong enough, the vast territory means they compete and slaughter each other, still giving birth to quite a few Sky-Flying level existences. Each one of them is a hegemon of the Mingxu Star Realm and must never be provoked."

"Throughout the Mingxu Star Realm, there are also numerous Tier-Two creatures lurking. They occupy many high-source treasure lands, spiritual soil mines, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures... These are the targets of our human civilization's conquest."

"Remember."

"In a Tier-One Star Realm, the entrance and exit require a life layer below level 20 to pass through. Cultivation in the Star Realm must be moderate... Once your life layer reaches level 20 and you become a Source Martial Artist, you must stay in the Mingxu Star Realm forever."

"Below is the detailed introduction regarding Base No. 3..." The burly officer continued to introduce many situations regarding the Mingxu Star Realm.

All the martial artists listened quietly.

Like Li Yuan, even though he already knew, he didn't mind listening to it again at this moment.

Suddenly, Boom~

An invisible pressure instantly enveloped all the martial artists in the carriage. Almost everyone's complexion changed, Shi Xiao included.

"Two-world passage." Li Yuan knew what this was. It was the boundary between the Star Realm and Blue Star, where spatial collision formed a very special oppressive force.

It is precisely because of the existence of this special power that Tier-Two life forms cannot break through the obstacle.

However, this oppressive force was not worth mentioning to Li Yuan, whose skill had already reached the fifth stage.

With his skill and spiritual sense, he easily resisted it.

This strange pressure came quickly and went quickly. Many people in the carriage gradually returned to normal.

"Li... Xu An, you didn't feel anything at all?" Shi Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"I can endure it." Li Yuan smiled.

Not long after, the carriage slowly stopped, the door opened, and sunlight shone directly in.

"We've arrived."

"The Mingxu Star Realm." The group walked out of the carriage and arrived at the metal plaza outside.

There were many soldiers around the plaza, and everyone saw the towering, hundreds-of-meters-tall war fortress not far away at a glance.

And, at the very end of the world in the far distance, a high mountain that spanned the end of the world like a sky curtain.

"Is that Ming Mountain?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

Yang Zhu stood beside Li Yuan and also saw the high mountain at the end of the world, saying softly: "According to the data, it should be over 20,000 kilometers away from us... Its height should exceed 1,000 kilometers. It is the highest mountain in the Mingxu Star Realm. Legend has it that more than one Sky-Flying level creature is entrenched there... The Star Realm is mysterious, anything is possible, anything can be born. On Blue Star, there shouldn't be such a high mountain no matter what."

Many veteran martial artists were not here for the first time and were very calm, but Li Yuan and Shi Xiao were both somewhat amazed.

This is a natural wonder that cannot be seen on Blue Star.

"Xu An, Shi Xiao."

A martial artist officer suddenly walked over from not far away and said solemnly: "Please come with me, you two."

The other martial artists couldn't help but look over. What's the situation?

Li Yuan and Shi Xiao looked at each other and obediently followed the officer into the war fortress not far away.

Taking the elevator.

Eventually, the two followed the martial artist officer into a large office.

An old man in blue was standing in front of a huge map projection, thinking silently.

In the map projection, there were rolling mountain ranges, huge rivers, and red light dots marked one after another...

"Chief, the people have been brought." The martial artist officer said in a low voice.

"Oh? You can go out first." The old man in blue seemed to have just noticed, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Yuan and Shi Xiao. After the guiding officer left, he finally showed a smile: "Li Yuan, Shi Xiao, hello."

"Hello, Senior." Li Yuan and Shi Xiao said simultaneously.

Li Yuan's heart was already full of shock.

Because, in his Divine Palace exploration, the old man in blue's life layer was level 24.

He was a Source Martial Artist!

But the Mingxu Star Realm is a Tier-One Star Realm. If one becomes a Source Martial Artist, wouldn't they be unable to return to Blue Star?
