Outside Earth, the four-day Earth-Moon journey was finally coming to an end; it was time to return. Even after boarding the spaceship, Yu Wei was still thinking about the far side of the moon, wondering when she could come again.

The Feitian base is located on the near side of the moon, and the scope of activities for the Earth-Moon journey was limited to the vicinity of the Feitian base, without venturing deep into the far side of the moon, which is why Yu Wei still felt a bit unsatisfied.

Everyone is full of imagination regarding the mysterious far side of the moon. Even though a large number of images of the far side of the moon can be found online today, it still cannot stop people's fantasies. Yu Wei is a typical example of this, yet she wouldn't let Xia Chengyue take her over there, saying she wanted to leave some suspense.

In reality, what kind of suspense could there be? It is no different from the near side, merely having more and larger craters.

Inside the spaceship cabin, Yu Wei skillfully turned on the panoramic mode. The Feitian slowly rose from the lunar surface and then suddenly accelerated, charging into space. Yu Wei was no longer afraid of this instantaneous ascent; instead, she calmly appreciated it.

She even took out a paintbrush and paper from the Original Realm to begin recording this Earth-Moon journey.

The return trip was relatively uninteresting; not only were there no banquets or performances, but apart from the endless starry sky, there was nothing else. It felt a bit anticlimactic, but after all these days, people were suffering from aesthetic fatigue, having received too much information. At this moment, letting everyone quiet down and appreciate the profound beauty of the Universe was also quite unique.

At most, that was the case for Xu Caicai.

Similar news was everywhere, overwhelming, and it instantly suppressed the heat of the Cloud City Fusion Station intrusion incident.

Yes, it was unforgettable. Xia Chengyue didn't feel that the scene was beautiful at all; instead, it was full of deadly traps. He didn't need to extend his Divine Sense outside the spaceship to know that the spaceship was currently rubbing violently against the atmosphere.

Yu Wei picked up her phone, pointed it at the scene before her eyes, and muttered, "This is absolutely the most unforgettable scene of this trip."

However, this was not necessarily the case for others. That elderly man with a significant background had already returned to Earth via the Kunlun Continent transfer before the return journey, and similar to him were Ma Jieke and that young man.

……

……

This was naturally not what Xia Chengyue wanted to see; this Feitian travel agency's handling of affairs was too sloppy.

Xia Chengyue dared not believe the advertisements put out by Feitian travel; "absolute safety"—people even choke to death drinking water! In this kind of high-speed state, a slightly larger meteorite or a slightly larger satellite fragment would be enough to instantly destroy the spaceship.

However, the stamp on the back was not from the Cultivation Affairs Bureau, but from the Modu traffic management department. It seems the Cultivation Affairs Bureau is once again planting trees for others to enjoy.

Xia Chengyue did not hesitate, instantly retracting his Primordial Spirit clone that was still constantly "mapping" at the edge of the Solar System. Suddenly, his Dharma Power (Primordial Spirit Power) surged, transforming the Primordial Spirit Power into an invisible barrier surrounding the spaceship.

Therefore, upon learning that the two had just returned from space travel and wanted to use the channel to return to Earth, the comrades at the Cultivation Affairs Bureau's Space Channel Management Office were incredibly enthusiastic, personally taking Xu Caicai through the Space Gate and handling the procedures in the Zhongzhuan Dongtian.

"Mr. Xia, Ms. Yu, going out through this Space Gate is the PD District of Modu; just give this pass to the people over there."

While doing this, Xia Chengyue discovered more than one aura of Dharma Power. Clearly, even the people from Feitian travel themselves did not believe in "absolute safety." He took another look at Xu Caicai, who was busy sharing the beautiful scenery with her little sisters.

Unaccountably, Xia Chengyue thought of those people who returned to Earth via the Kunlun Continent on the moon. He didn't expect that he would actually act as a "guinea pig" for once. Although there might have been many guinea pigs before him, this was the first time it was truly put into commercial use.

The rest was very smooth; returning to Pingjiang from Modu was only a matter of an hour or so, and the two even stopped by Qingyang Town on the way.

"Consider yourselves lucky!"

After a day of sailing, the Feitian finally arrived at Earth. This time, it did not linger near the space station but charged toward Earth without slowing down. It only passed through a half-circle of Earth-orbit deceleration to reduce its speed, cutting into Earth along the tangent of the atmosphere.

These lights and fires were so intense that even the spaceship's Projection could not filter them out completely.

At this moment, in every room where the panoramic Projection was turned on, one could see a scene completely different from the departure. A dazzling, intense light accompanied by the torrent generated by breaking through the air was displayed on the panoramic Projection, setting off the looming Earth below as if it were a dream.

……

After landing, the two explained things to the staff on the spaceship and then entered the Kunlun Continent.

Like, "Our country's first space traveler, Dahuaxili Group Chairman Zhou Guozhi returns from the maiden voyage, makes a heart gesture to reporters at the launch site, claiming his condition is excellent and he can fight again!"

When the two returned to Pingjiang, the internet was already flooded with propaganda.

It wasn't just Xia Chengyue; even Yu Wei, who had just seen the beautiful scenery of the spaceship returning to the atmosphere and was amazed by it, now had many complaints about Feitian travel. Hype shouldn't be done like this.

The authorities opened Space Channels from several major cities in the Kunlun Continent to several major cities in Earth's territory. Of course, ordinary people could not enjoy this service for the time being, but Xu Caicai was no longer considered an ordinary person, at least he was registered with the authorities.

Dahuaxili Year 24, June 7th, humanity's first Earth-Moon journey successfully concluded, and the spaceship returned to Earth safely. This is a day worth remembering in history.

Perhaps they felt that time was precious and did not want to waste it on this meaningless return journey.

Who knows?

When flying out into space, it was a near-vertical takeoff, with the Gravity Matrix Array canceling out gravity, so the speed was not fast. But when returning, charging all the way back from the moon, having only undergone partial deceleration, the spaceship's speed remained extremely swift.

Truly ignorant and fearless!

"Mysterious tycoon leaves the ship first; launch base staff claim Hua Yuema and Ma Jieke were both present. Feitian officials state it is purely groundless, and all guest information is strictly confidential unless the guests reveal it themselves."

Hmm, quite a few reporters came.

"Some young idol uploads a photo of the starry sky, hinting at participating in the Earth-Moon journey maiden voyage; the agent uses a burner account to downvote, suspected of discord."

Xia Chengyue and his companion were watching the spaceship land via the panoramic Projection. While the spaceship was still in the sky, Xia Chengyue saw that the Hainan Launch Base launch site was packed with people, carrying Long Spears and short cannons, waiting in full battle array.

It was very clear that everyone on this spaceship had acted as a guinea pig for once. Even if the probability of an accident was extremely low, it still existed.

Xia Chengyue said thank you and took the thin paper pass. He glanced at it; it was clearly written in black and white, "Xia Chengyue, Yu Wei, and two others are using the transfer channel; please allow passage."

"Thank you!"

At such a time, even a cultivator would be powerless. Of course, it was not absolutely impossible to defend against, but a cultivator below the Primordial Spirit stage could hardly react before the event happened, and by the time they reacted, they would already be dead.

"Feitian travel maiden voyage concludes successfully, multiple data points hit record highs."
