Chapter 1314

Before each departure, the Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal Jiu Chong Heaven Fleet, besides bearing the duty of waging war across the world and proclaiming the greatness of the Heavenly Emperor, also had a hidden mission—to search for spirit stones.

The Chu Tian civilization rose to prominence through spirit stone veins, utilizing the spiritual energy within spirit stones to strengthen organic life, thereby creating unmatched warships and invincible Chu Tian warriors.

After the Heavenly Emperor took charge of the Chu Tian civilization, he further elevated the civilization's utilization of spirit stones to a new level.

It can be said that spirit stones are of utmost importance to both the Heavenly Emperor and the Chu Tian civilization.

Although every warship was equipped with spirit stone detection radar, and they had searched for a long time, aside from the Heavenly Emperor's place of rise, they had found nothing.

Now they have finally found spirit stones.

And they are top-grade spirit stones of the highest quality!

If fortunate enough to discover a vein of top-grade spirit stones, the Heavenly Emperor will surely reward them, and the Bi Luo Tian Legion will undoubtedly rise to become the foremost among the Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal Jiu Chong Heavens!

Originally, Shi Wu Mian's plan was to meet with the council elder and make him submit, but now that top-grade spirit stones are right before their eyes, everything must be postponed!

After disembarking, according to the direction shown on the radar, he rushed toward the scientific institute's research room, his personal guards unable to keep up with his speed.

Several scientists were using various instruments to detect the energy contained within the top-grade spirit stones, completely unaware of what was happening outside, only to see Shi Wu Mian kick open a several-ton alloy door with one foot, startling them into a flinch.

Shi Wu Mian had no leisure to mind the scientists' reactions, his gaze locked firmly on the few top-grade spirit stones inside the glass cover, his breathing unconsciously growing heavier.

There is no mistake—this is top-grade spirit stone!

He smashed the glass cover with a punch and took away these top-grade spirit stones.

"Lord Shi."

Shi Wu Mian's personal guards arrived belatedly, having struggled to keep pace with Shi Wu Mian, panting heavily, barely arriving at this moment.

"I entrust you with a task—hurry and investigate the source of these few top-grade spirit stones."

"Yes!"

Having said that, Shi Wu Mian returned to the command ship with these few top-grade spirit stones, awaiting news from his guards.

His personal guards are elite Chu Tian warriors selected from among a thousand, possessing superior martial prowess, and handling affairs with Zhou Mi reliability.

"Lord Shi, this is the list of defections from the upper echelons of the Star Alliance, please review it."

"Put it aside."

"My lord, this is the territorial range of the Star Alliance."

"Put it aside."

"Commander, this is the Star Alliance's technological development status; I believe what we most need to focus on is ether computers and quantum communication technology, these two technologies being ones we lack, especially quantum communication technology, which can ignore distance and achieve real-time communication..."

"Put it aside."

The Bi Luo Tian Legion, having waged war across many planets, has its command department members each fulfilling their duties, each with their own tasks; according to regulations, they must submit the intelligence they gather to Shi Wu Mian so he can formulate the next step of the plan.

The Star Alliance is the highest-level civilization the Bi Luo Tian Legion has encountered; if placed in the past, Shi Wu Mian would have eagerly examined this information upon seeing it.

But now Shi Wu Mian only feels annoyed—after all, the Star Alliance cannot run away, these matters are unimportant, and the most important thing is where these top-grade spirit stones come from.

Finally, his guards returned with important intelligence.

"My lord, it has been ascertained that these few top-grade spirit stones do not belong to the Star Alliance, but come from a place called the Cultivation Realm."

"Cultivation Realm?" Shi Wu Mian frowned, having never heard of this place.

"Please elaborate."

"This starts from a cultivator named Lu Yang who accidentally intruded into a television program..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wu Mian clasped his hands over his mouth, frowned, and sank into thought.

"You mean the Cultivation Realm has abundant top-grade spirit stones, is quite backward, has just entered space, and still needs humanitarian aid from the Star Alliance?"

Shi Wu Mian listened with eyes gleaming; the phrase "the Cultivation Realm has abundant top-grade spirit stones" kept turning over in his mind.

A backward civilization, advanced energy—what's the difference from a child holding gold while rushing through a bustling market? This is begging to be plundered!

The guard nodded: "Yes, it's strange—seemingly, they just entered space and can already traverse wormholes to reach the Star Alliance."

Shi Wu Mian waved his hand: "Read more books; it's just a technological explosion, quite normal. Before the Heavenly Emperor appeared, our Chu Tian civilization, to maintain rule, constantly suppressed and dominated the civilizations we discovered, precisely fearing other civilizations would experience a technological explosion and destabilize our position."

"Presumably, this Cultivation Realm found how to utilize spirit stones, enabling its civilization to develop rapidly."

"But no matter how fast their development speed, how could it compare to the speed of our fleet?"

Upon hearing this, the guard exclaimed in surprise: "You mean... we should go to the Cultivation Realm now?"

"Naturally. Compared to the Cultivation Realm, what is this Star Alliance? Have you ascertained the position of the Cultivation Realm?"

"This is the star map left by Lu Yang from the Star Alliance to the Cultivation Realm; please review it, my lord." The guard presented the map with both hands.

Seeing this, Shi Wu Mian laughed heartily: "Good, good, good—this Lu Yang really does nothing but good deeds, leaving me exactly what I need!"

No mistake, no error, no omission, no flaw, no lack, no absence, no imperfection—everything is perfect!

"But that Lu Yang seems quite formidable—he can let a sword formation cover an entire planet, exterminate all ferocious beasts, and even make bullets freeze and return to the magazine." The guard said softly, lacking confidence.

"What's that? Mere tricks and frivolous skills—just a momentary slaughter of all animals; our warships' automatic targeting artillery systems can do that anytime."

"And we have one thousand five hundred such warships."

"As for that little skill of making bullets stand still, I'd like to see what use it could be against the entire Bi Luo Tian Legion!"

"That Lu Yang claims to be one of the strongest few in the Cultivation Realm—if so, then this Cultivation Realm is nothing special!"

"Issue the order—prepare to invade the Cultivation Realm!"

"By the way, also remember to regularly report work progress to the Heavenly Emperor—you go write down today's events and send someone to deliver the letter."

"Yes."

……

Chu Tian Civilization.

The Heavenly Emperor resides atop a nine-story tower.

Once he was the primordial Yu Emperor Wu Yao; now he is the Heavenly Emperor ruling the universe—two imperial ascensions have made his aura ever more profound and unfathomable. To say he is the leader of the Chu Tian Civilization is less fitting than to say he is its deity.

"Your Majesty, the Bi Luo Tian Legion has sent a message." A lovely attendant, holding a document, approached cautiously.

Although she had been serving beside the Heavenly Emperor for several months, she still felt that the Heavenly Emperor's imperial aura was like an abyss, unfathomable, and every movement she made was cautious and careful, fearing she might commit a taboo.

"Has Stone No-Face sent a letter?" The Heavenly Emperor opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting the stars of the heavens.

He took the letter, seeing that the maidservant was still this careful, and couldn't help but laugh helplessly: "Cui'er, I've said it before—there's no need to be this careful around me."

The maidservant named Cui'er dared not defy the Heavenly Emperor, so she could only whisper: "Yes."

The Heavenly Emperor helplessly shook his head, tore open the envelope, and began reading quickly.

"Oh, Stone No-Face has discovered a cosmic-level great power called the Star Alliance, and also found clues to top-grade spirit stones."

The Heavenly Emperor smiled—this was truly excellent news.

After so many years, we have finally found a second planet with spirit stones.

"Stone No-Face has already led the Azure Heaven Legion there, and the destination is... the Cultivation Realm?!"

The Heavenly Emperor suddenly sprang to his feet, staring fixedly at the words "Cultivation Realm," his eyes blood-red, his lips trembling.

Stone No-Face, you are not my subordinate—you are my father!!!
