Chapter 1082: Emers

"Teacher Emers is looking for me?"

Xu Jingming's heart stirred; after bidding farewell to the two Ninth-Stage cultivators before him, he retrieved his Black Obsidian-class fighter and prepared to fly back to the Lei Ting Wu Guan headquarters.

"Honorably seeing off Lei Di, my lord!"

On the ground, the two Ninth-Stage cultivators bowed respectfully.

The other psychics on the front line seemed to realize something as well.

They all halted their actions and turned to gaze at the direction the fighter had taken, their expressions reverent.

"Honorably seeing off Lei Di, my lord!"

A wave of voices surged forth, rolling outward in a continuous tide.

This was their most sincere expression of gratitude toward Xu Jingming.

Without him, this beast tide would have cost the human army at least tens of thousands of casualties.

"S-Class, your current prestige throughout Greater Xia is probably only surpassed by Zhou Yuanwu, my lord."

Inside the fighter's cockpit, Eva chuckled as she detected the ground's commotion.

"The pioneers who walked through the early days of Qi revival have contributed far more than I have; I've merely benefited from their legacy."

Xu Jingming adopted a very humble attitude.

"Huh? S-Class, your awareness is quite impressive—far beyond your peers' level," the little girl Eva said, surprised.

Xu Jingming's face darkened.

So in your mind, my awareness is that low?

"Enter the virtual world and contact Teacher Emers," Xu Jingming said, unwilling to argue further.

"Received!"

Eva giggled and slipped into the neural helmet on Xu Jingming's hand.

Swish—

Putting on the helmet, Xu Jingming quickly entered the virtual world.

There, in the Xinhuo Divine Temple of the virtual world, he met Emers.

This time, she was not wearing the high priestess's religious robe; instead, she wore a luxurious long dress.

For women, a long dress is undoubtedly a very demanding outfit—slightly imperfect proportions ruin the look.

But on Emers, it appeared tall and balanced, serene and elegant.

Perhaps accustomed to the ribbons, in the virtual world she too covered her eyes with a black ribbon.

Though her pale golden amber eyes were hidden,

Her delicate, plump red lips and refined, petite nose stood out even more.

"Teacher," Xu Jingming bowed slightly in greeting.

"Heir, it has been a long time."

At that moment, light shimmered beside Emers, coalescing into the silhouette of a tall woman.

The woman wore a fitted dark-gray combat suit and had green hair flowing down to her rounded hips.

Her appearance was the adult version of the little girl Eva—clearly, it was Big Eva.

"Mother!"

The little girl Eva materialized beside Xu Jingming and eagerly launched herself into Big Eva's arms.

"It seems Big Eva has escaped from the spaceship," Xu Jingming smiled.

He had already learned from Emers that the Hope spaceship had been reclaimed; Big Eva's awakening was no surprise to him.

"The energy modules Big Eva lacked were rare in your Third Civilization era.

But in our Second Civilization era, we stored many of them.

With these energy modules, Big Eva has fully recovered and no longer needs to fear falling back into slumber."

Emers smiled slightly and looked at Xu Jingming:

"I called you here not only to inform you about Big Eva, but also because I saw, through the Eye of Fate, an impending major event."

"Please, Teacher," Xu Jingming's expression turned solemn.

He had never underestimated the Eye of Fate's prodigious prophetic power.

If Emers called it a major event, it was certainly not to be ignored.

"The Void Divine Temple under your control has begun exploring the hidden realms left behind on Blue Star.

According to what I 'saw,' within one of these special hidden realms lies a crucial opportunity for you.

You must pay special attention to the hidden realms unearthed by the Void Divine Temple—do not miss it."

Emers sat on the sofa, her slender, beautiful legs crossed beneath the dress, faintly visible.

"Special hidden realm?"

Xu Jingming frowned. "Teacher, did you see what made this realm special?"

Ling Shuang now fully controls the Void Divine Temple.

Under her arrangement, numerous space-psychic cultivators have begun searching across Blue Star for hidden realms and the perfect-grade elemental weapon left by Kong Shen—the Divine Kite Pearl.

So far, over twenty hidden realms have been discovered!

Without clear distinguishing features, it's impossible to identify which one is the special one.

"The information I saw was limited, but I can confirm this:

This hidden realm does not originate from any of our current civilization eras."

Emers sat up slightly.

The precisely tailored dress tightened, perfectly outlining her curvaceous figure.

"Not belonging to any civilization era?!"

Xu Jingming swallowed hard and ventured, "Could there really be a Shi Qian civilization?"

According to current Blue Star historical records, psychics first appeared in the First Civilization Era over five thousand years ago.

However, some scholars speculate that extraordinary powers already existed on Blue Star before that time.

The 'Yuan Chu Hao' spacecraft excavated from the First Civilization Era is the best proof.

Historians have named the era before that the Shi Qian Civilization Era.

Yet, apart from this spacecraft, no other information related to Shi Qian Civilization has been found.

If a secret realm of this kind now appeared, it would undoubtedly yield vast amounts of Shi Qian Civilization information.

"Probably."

Emos nodded slightly, her cherry-red lips parting gently: "If we find this secret realm, I cannot rule out the possibility of entering it myself."

"Understood. I'll have the Void Divine Temple pay special attention."

Xu Jingming exhaled deeply and nodded.

Right now, the entire Void Divine Temple is under Hearing Ling Shuang's control—it won't miss this secret realm.

"By the way, Teacher, I have some questions about the 'Star Gazing Method'."

With over thirty million psychic points in hand, besides psychic abilities, Xu Jingming could instantly allocate points to any attribute on his system panel.

But the SSR-level spirit-cultivation technique, the 'Star Gazing Method,' was different—without a Wu Yin, he could only understand it on his own.

Yet, being an SSR-level spirit-cultivation technique, he had spent over ten days and still hadn't reached even preliminary comprehension.

He could only turn to Emos for help.

"Oh?"

Emos's beautiful eyes lit up, and she spoke with evident satisfaction: "Go ahead—what questions do you have?"

Finally!

She had finally, in this student Xu Jingming, found a taste of being a teacher.

If Xu Jingming didn't ask her questions soon, she felt she was nothing more than a heartless machine dispensing combat techniques...

Half an hour later, both Xu Jingming and Emos left the virtual world fully satisfied.

The former had finally achieved preliminary comprehension of the SSR-level spirit-cultivation technique, the 'Star Gazing Method,' and reached the point where he could allocate points.

The latter had finally experienced the feeling of being a teacher through Xu Jingming.

"The 'Star Gazing Method' isn't urgent—first, allocate points to raise your level."

Back at the Lei Ting Wu Guan villa, Xu Jingming was about to notify Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang that he was about to break through.

Suddenly, ripples stirred in the space beside him, and Hearing Ling Shuang stepped out, her slender figure emerging.

Her beautiful, alluring face, marked by a tear-shaped mole, carried unmistakable excitement:

"Jingming, Zhang Hengyang and the others discovered a secret realm—according to scans, it dates back ten thousand years!"
