Chapter 1309: Welcome to the Cultivation Realm

A small, unremarkable boat sped through the universe at high speed, it is hard to imagine that such a small boat actually carried hundreds of people.

The star field ahead looked as if it had been squeezed into a thin line, the rear view was completely invisible, and the stars on the side seemed to all lean toward the direction of the boat's movement; at this moment, the covered boat seemed to become the center of the universe, with all things revolving around its motion.

Dean Gao swallowed his saliva, this kind of scene only existed in theory, meaning the covered boat had almost reached the speed of light.

The next moment, the covered boat disappeared without any sign, jumping to a far position ahead.

"Space jump technology..."

Last time Dean Gao took a boat from the Eternal Star System to the Archer Star System, he arrived in the blink of an eye, without seeing how the covered boat operated; this time the journey was long, so he could watch to his heart's content, but he could only see from the front that the covered boat could simultaneously achieve light-speed flight and space jumping.

As for the underlying principle, he could not understand it at all.

The spacecraft of the Star Alliance could theoretically reach light speed, but limited by materials, it could only remain theoretical.

Their most common long-distance travel method was to build artificial wormholes in various star systems and navigate using those wormholes.

After receiving Lu Yang's permission, two scientists ran out of the Qingfeng Sword Small World, holding unknown instruments to measure incomprehensible data.

They were experiencing light-speed flight for the first time, and every set of data was extremely precious; any one set taken out would be enough for a doctoral student to repeatedly graduate.

"May I ask, Mr. Lu, who manufactured this ship?"

"It was made by my ancestral master and an elder; they just happened to create it not long ago, one responsible for making the ship sturdy, the other for making it fly fast."

"Ancestral master?" Dean Gao's heart stirred; usually, anyone who could become an ancestral master was already very old, and continuing scientific research at that age would hardly yield major breakthroughs.

"Is Mr. Lu's ancestral master of advanced age this year?"

Lu Yang tilted his head and calculated: "About a hundred thousand years old, I suppose."

Guiyuan Shizu is indeed a person from a hundred thousand years ago, but he after all spent eighty thousand years in the small box of the Ages Immortal, and spending one day in the small box means one year passes outside, so it is hard to say exactly how old Guiyuan Shizu is.

"Cough cough cough——"

Dean Gao suddenly started coughing violently, nearly collapsing, frightening Lu Yang into quickly grabbing him.

"Are you alright?"

Dean Gao only cared about coughing, unable to speak a word.

A hundred thousand years—what is the difference between that and immortality?!

Fortunately, Mr. Lu Yang did not tell the High Council everything about the Cultivation Realm; if those people knew this, they would probably wish to move their whole families to the Cultivation Realm.

So saying, Mr. Lu is not as young as he looks?

Lu Yang and Dean Gao's conversation was heard clearly by the assistance team staying in the small world.

They were dazed, thinking they were experiencing auditory hallucinations due to being unaccustomed to the space environment.

This Cultivation Realm seems not to be as backward as the Alliance described...

After more than twenty days of travel, the covered boat arrived near the Cultivation Realm.

The journey from the Cultivation Realm to the Star Alliance took over a month, because Lu Yang was walking and stopping along the way, and still had to draw a star map; the return trip did not require such trouble.

Dean Gao stared blankly at the scene before him.

Countless boats similar to the covered boat sailed through the universe, and many people were not wearing space suits but ancient costumes, freely moving in space, greeting those on the boat, drinking and chatting; they must be cultivators like Lu Yang.

Whether those covered boats or cultivators, when they fly to a certain point in space, they either vanish into thin air, or new covered boats and cultivators appear out of thin air from that point.

It is as if there is an invisible door there, connecting to another space, with people constantly passing through this door to shuttle through space.

"Artificial wormhole?"

This mode of operation is very like an artificial wormhole, but its appearance is completely unlike an artificial wormhole.

"Mr. Lu Yang, what is this?"

Lu Yang saw that this was an established space passage, but it was not there when they walked by.

"This should be a passage constructed by another of my ancestral masters using the embryonic form of the Space Dao Fruit."

Hanhaijun constructed many space passages near the Cultivation Realm to facilitate cultivators exploring the outside world.

"What is Space Dao?"

"Space Dao Fruit embryonic form, which can be understood as his having done much research on space."

Finally returning to the Cultivation Realm, Lu Yang's tone rose a few degrees, and he urged the covered boat to hurry and fly.

Dean Gao vaguely saw a cubic object far away, and could not help but feel strange—had someone dropped their Rubik's Cube here?

But when the covered boat jumped through space several times, the cube gradually grew larger, its true appearance came into view, and shadows covered Dean Gao's dazed face.

The assistance team in the small world saw this scene and likewise showed expressions of disbelief, muttering to themselves.

"Oh heavens, what is this thing?"

"How could such an astronomical object exist in the universe?!"

Don't miss even a single character—read carefully!

"A perfect cube—this is unscientific, unscientific!"

At this moment, they forgot all their learning, stunned into a daze by the existence of the cube.

The Ether Extension habitually calculated the "cube's" size, and faced with the result, it nearly crashed; its stored knowledge told it that such a thing could absolutely not appear in the universe.

But the fact is right here.

What is this cube?

Lu Yang stood on the bow, arms spread wide, to introduce it to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Cultivation Realm."

Is this the Cultivation Realm that Lu Yang spoke of?

This completely overturned everyone's cognition; previously, their guesses about the Cultivation Realm were that it was a planet, at most a slightly larger planet, with high gravity, which would be necessary to nurture a life like Lu Yang's.

But how could this be a planet? No matter how large a planet, facing the Cultivation Realm it would be as small as dust!

Lu Yang piloted the ship to the entrance of the Cultivation Realm, to the opening of the box.

The dean saw that the speed at which the planets were moving at the opening of the box was astonishingly fast, completely violating natural laws—planetary orbital speeds could not possibly be that fast.

But when he got closer, he saw clearly that it was cultivators pushing the planets to move!

The rescue team erupted: "Am I seeing things? One person altering a planet's orbital path?!"

"Is this what cultivators are like?"

"Could these few people be the strongest in the Cultivation Realm, even stronger than Mr. Lu?"

"Look at Mr. Lu's expression—they don't seem like the strongest at all."

Lu Yang was also curious about these cultivators, especially since they were wearing official robes: "What are you doing?"

Those cultivators recognized Lu Yang and stopped what they were doing: "It's Lu Yang."

"Isn't it almost New Year? The imperial court just wants to string the stars together into a few shapes—Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and such—so it looks nice."

"Who is this person behind you?"

The official cultivators of Great Xia noticed the unusually dressed dean.

"This is the chief scientist I specially invited from other civilizations—knows astronomy above and geography below, understands a great deal, and has come to help build our Cultivation Realm."

"Oh, a great scientist—welcome, welcome." Several official cultivators of Great Xia laughed.

The dean gave a dry laugh in response.

Chief scientist?

Knows astronomy above and geography below?

Understands a great deal?

Heh, what do I understand?
