Chapter 911: Number Three Floating Island! Void Divine Temple!
Xu Jingming guessed that accommodations for Aurora-level core members wouldn't be poor.
But when he actually saw his lodging, he was still slightly stunned.
This was an airborne island!
The floating island was enormous, roughly the size of thirty soccer fields.
On both sides and directly ahead stood three-story luxury villas.
In the center was a square paved with Minghui stone, its hardness comparable to Class-D alloy.
At the rear was a large open-air training ground, beside which lay an open-air swimming pool.
Elsewhere, exquisitely crafted rockeries and flowing streams had been installed.
Even the ornamental trees and flowers seemed anything but ordinary, emitting a faint, serene fragrance.
"The environment is quite nice."
Xu Jingming stood on the square, scanned the surroundings, and nodded in satisfaction.
"An airborne island?"
Su Qingli, head of Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall, couldn't help but whistle at the sight.
Blue Star's current technology couldn't produce anti-gravity engines.
Such floating islands could only be seen in virtual worlds.
Yet here, in the Xinhuo World, they had become reality—and were now their future residence.
"My Xinhuo Divine Temple has twenty-seven floating islands; this is Number Three."
"Number One and Number Two are occupied by the High Priestess and another Aurora-level member."
The Moonshadow Cleric smiled, "The floating island's sanitation is handled by intelligent robots; once the island's central AI verifies your identity, you may control it."
Of course, if you prefer someone else to clean, you may hire your own staff."
The Xinhuo Divine Temple's twenty-seven floating islands vary in specification.
The first five are the highest-grade, controlled directly by the High Priestess.
Including Xu Jingming, only three are currently occupied.
Even he could only reside on the slightly inferior Number Seven Floating Island.
This, however, is the privilege of Aurora-level members.
Hearing this, Xu Jingming looked ahead and indeed spotted two floating islands about three to four kilometers away on either side.
One was roughly the same size as his own—that must be Number Two, occupied by the other Aurora-level member.
The other floating island was much larger and far more refined in appearance.
That must be Number One, where the supreme power, Emers, resided.
Glancing downward, Xu Jingming also spotted a tall tower to the lower right.
The tower stood three to four hundred meters high, piercing the clouds; its peak was less than two hundred meters below the floating island's base.
Its design was ancient and simple; with his sharp vision, Xu Jingming clearly saw intricate carvings on its outer walls.
Thin spatial fissures encircled the tower, giving off a strange sensation—both weighty and perilous.
"That's the Breakthrough Tower?" Xu Jingming asked curiously.
"Correct."
The Moonshadow Cleric nodded. "Your Blue Star's psychics haven't all arrived yet."
"Once everyone gathers in three days, the High Priestess will personally activate the Breakthrough Tower."
"Breakthrough Tower..." Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed.
This mysterious tower would likely grant him a substantial number of Psychic Points.
"That statue...?"
At that moment, Ling Shuang suddenly let out a soft exclamation, gazing in a certain direction.
Xu Jingming instinctively followed her gaze and saw a massive statue.
The statue stood over a hundred meters tall, depicting a beautiful woman.
The sculptor's craftsmanship was superb; Xu Jingming could even sense an aura of benevolence and grandeur emanating from it.
"That is the statue of Kong Shen, the founder of our Xinhuo World."
The Moonshadow Cleric's face softened with reverence. "She sacrificed her life to preserve the flame of humanity."
"We have erected this statue to honor her, receiving eternal incense offerings."
He paused, then turned to Ling Shuang.
"Kong Shen's eldest disciple founded the Void Divine Temple near this statue. You're a space-type psychic—when you have time, visit it. You'll likely gain valuable insights."
He already knew the abilities of Xu Jingming, Ling Shuang, and Su Qingli from the data uploaded by Meng Yu and others.
"Thank you for the reminder, Cleric."
Ling Shuang's eyes lit up immediately.
"It's nothing. A small favor."
The Moonshadow Cleric smiled, then turned to Xu Jingming.
"The High Priestess spends most of her time on Number One Floating Island."
"If you have any questions or needs, you may go directly to her there."
That privilege was reserved only for the High Priestess's students.
But the High Priestess had given prior instructions: Xu Jingming was an exception.
"Understood." Xu Jingming gave a slight nod.
"Your evaluation is complete, and you're settled. I must now return and report to my teacher."
"The rating certification is over, and you've all settled in. Now it's time for me to return and report to my teacher."
The Moonshadow Cleric flew away. Xu Jingming led Su Qingli and Ling Shuang toward the central villa.
He was eager to discover what rights his Aurora-level status granted him within the Xinhuo Divine Temple...
Beneath the colossal Kong Shen statue stood a large incense altar.
People came constantly, day and night, offering incense.
About four hundred meters from the altar stood an ancient temple.
Smaller than the Xinhuo Divine Temple, yet still vast in area.
The entire temple appeared hazy, as if existing independently of the surrounding space.
This was the Void Divine Temple—the sacred ground for space-type psychics.
When Ling Shuang and the others arrived above the Void Divine Temple's floating island,
Deep within the temple, an elderly man with snow-white hair, seated on the ground, stirred awake.
He opened his eyes—his gaze was not dull like an ordinary elder's.
Instead, it was crystal clear, as if stars were being born and dying within them.
"Hengyang, come to me."
A low voice echoed through the space.
In the next instant, the air before him blurred.
A man in his thirties, clad in black armor, teleported into view.
"Teacher." The armored man bowed respectfully.
"I sensed the aura of the token my teacher left on Blue Star."
"Find that person. I want to know everything about him."
The old man spoke in a low tone.
"Yes, Teacher."
The armored man nodded slightly, his form blurred, and vanished instantly.
"If this is the one chosen by my teacher, perhaps the lineage may continue..."
The old man slowly closed his eyes, and the space fell silent once more.
The old man slowly closed his eyes, and the entire space fell still once more.
