Chapter 1748: Arrival at Blue Star! A Grand Welcome!

Over the next few days, Xu Jingming served as Ye Li's dedicated sparring partner.

But basically Ye Li lost every time, and he won.

With his current strength, there were indeed far too few Immortals who could beat him.

Even his system panel still held the 2 million cosmic credits he had gained from killing the Black Stone Venerable's remnant soul.

He could break through to the Eighth Immortal Stage at any time.

It was just that his reputation had grown too large recently; breaking through again would draw too much attention.

So he held back and didn't allocate the points.

He planned to wait until he returned to Blue Star, then break through on his own turf.

Five days passed in a flash.

On this day, Xu Jingming was sparring with Ye Li in the virtual universe.

Suddenly, Wila's voice rang out in the cabin:

"Master, Blue Star is almost here!"

Xu Jingming and Ye Li both exited the virtual universe simultaneously and opened their eyes.

Through the Star Trace's 100% external view simulation, a beautiful azure planet was already clearly visible.

Around it, several planets of varying colors orbited, forming a small star system.

"This is Blue Star?"

Ye Li curiously released her spiritual sense, spreading it toward Blue Star.

The next moment, her cool, pretty face revealed shock she could not conceal:

"The primordial energy concentration is so low!

Forget comparing it to the Academy's side — it doesn't even come close to my home world!"

She turned her head to look at Xu Jingming, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief:

"You cultivated all the way to the Star Radiance Stage in this kind of environment?

And in just over a decade you reached your current level?"

This is too exaggerated!

In such a barren primordial energy environment, logically even breaking through to the Star Radiance Stage should be incredibly difficult.

Yet Xu Jingming not only broke through, but advanced triumphantly all the way, achieving the Invincible Immortal Stage!

"Everyone who comes to my home world says that."

Xu Jingming smiled faintly, stood up, and walked to the porthole:

"But that's the fact.

And this is already the result after transformation.

Before I left Blue Star, the primordial energy concentration here was even lower."

As his words fell, his spiritual sense suddenly stirred, sensing several familiar auras.

The smile at the corner of his mouth deepened:

"Looks like someone has come to welcome us."

Outside Blue Star, in the starry sky.

Led by the Noah Nation Lord, over a dozen Immortal Deities hovered silently.

Their auras were restrained, yet invisible divine might still caused the surrounding starry space to twist slightly.

The Noah Nation Lord wore a white robe with gold patterns and a starry crown, his bearing dignified and imposing.

Behind him, Hei Guang, Lu Wen, and the other Noah Empire Immortal experts stood in order, expressions solemn.

Suddenly, the Noah Nation Lord's spiritual sense stirred; he raised his head toward the depths of the starry sky and spoke:

"They're here!"

Everyone's spirits lifted, and they all looked in unison.

In the distant starry sky, a point of silver light suddenly flared, then rapidly enlarged.

It was a streamlined silver spaceship, its entire body flowing with a mercury-like luster.

The hull was slender and elegant, yet exuded a cold technological feel.

It tore through the starry sky, arriving silently.

Its speed didn't seem fast, but in the blink of an eye it had already drawn near.

"It's an SS1-class spaceship!"

Hei Guang cried out in a low voice, envy flashing in his eyes:

"In our entire Noah Empire, they're extremely rare!

Xu... no, Lord Lei Shen's foundation is truly unfathomable."

The other Immortal Deities also nodded one after another, their expressions reverent.

An SS1-class spaceship is incomparably expensive!

Even if they could afford to buy one, they couldn't afford to maintain it.

Seeing the ship arrive, the Noah Nation Lord took a deep breath.

He stepped forward and bowed deeply toward that silver spaceship.

His voice was grand, spreading across the starry sky in all directions:

"Noah, Nation Lord of the Noah Empire, respectfully welcomes Lei Shen's return!"

Behind him, all the Immortal Deities bowed simultaneously and shouted in unison:

"Respectfully welcome Lei Shen's return!"

Almost at the same moment——

"Whoosh——!!!"

"Boom——!!!"

Outside Blue Star's atmosphere, thousands of pre-arranged interstellar salute cannons activated simultaneously!

Countless specially crafted energy fireworks erupted thunderously in the starry sky!

Golden thunder dragons, verdant Trees of Life, ice-blue frost flowers, crimson flames......

All manner of phenomena intertwined and collided in the starry sky, transforming into a gorgeous sea of light stretching tens of thousands of kilometers!

The brilliance of that light even temporarily outshone the radiance of the star.

Illuminating the entire starry expanse as bright as day!

And on Blue Star, a global livestream had long since begun.

Countless citizens gathered in plazas, streets, and homes, gazing up at the magnificent spectacle in the starry sky.

When the image of the Noah Lord bowing in salute was transmitted back, all of Blue Star fell into a brief silence.

Immediately after, cheers like mountains shouting and seas roaring surged skyward!

"It's Lei Di! Lei Di has returned!!!"

"My god! Even the Noah Lord has to salute Lord Lei Di?!"

"Of course! Lord Lei Di is now an Invincible Eternal! Invincible Eternal, you understand?! That's an existence capable of sweeping across the entire Noah Empire!"

"......"

Some time ago,

they also knew that Lei Di Xu Jingming possessed Invincible Eternal stage.

But they had no real concept of it, after all it was too distant from them.

And now, the Noah Lord personally led numerous Eternal God Spirits to welcome him.

Only this let them directly feel Lei Di's formidable influence.

In the starry sky.

The Star Trace spaceship slowly halted, its hatch sliding open soundlessly.

Two figures walked out from inside the ship side by side.

On the left was a black-clad youth.

His bearing straight as a spear, black battle attire outlining perfect muscle lines.

A head of black short hair neat and crisp, sword brows and starry eyes, features handsome as if carved.

Especially those eyes, faint gold-green Lei Guang flowing in the depths of the pupils.

It was precisely Xu Jingming.

On the right was a peerless beauty.

She wore a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts.

Revealing a pair of long, straight, snow-white jade-like beautiful legs.

Tall and slender figure, curvaceous.

Jet-black long hair tied in a high ponytail, countenance cold and stunningly beautiful.

It was precisely Ye Li.

The two stood treading the void, like deities descending.

The Noah Lord and the others, sensing that pressure rushing at their faces, all felt their hearts chill.

Especially the Noah Lord!

As an Eternal Peak, his perception was the keenest.

He could clearly sense that Xu Jingming merely had the aura of Eternal Seventh Stage.

Yet the pressure emanating from the other party was vast as an abyss, unfathomably deep!

As if facing not an Eternal Seventh Stage, but a slumbering ancient ferocious beast!

Making him unable to birth the slightest thought of resistance!

And the woman beside Xu Jingming, her aura equally terrifying.

Sword intent awe-inspiring, sharpness restrained within, absolutely an Invincible Eternal existence as well!

"Noah, Teacher, didn't expect you'd personally come to welcome us."

Xu Jingming first glanced at the Noah Lord, then looked toward Lu Wen Dao beside him.

"My Noah Empire produced an Invincible Eternal, I as the Lord naturally must welcome."

The Noah Lord laughed heartily, Lu Wen beside him also smiling as he spoke:

"We received the news some time ago, so we came here early to wait."

"So it is." Xu Jingming nodded.

He had told Ling Shuang and the others about his return.

It's not surprising the Noah Lord and the others would know.
