Chapter 791: Chapter 421 Pluto, Alert!_2
Cultivation Techniques are single-use, and often the other party would indicate that they already possessed them.
As for Spirit Stones, after one or two transactions, the income could no longer cover the expenses. For correct content, please visit
It forced them to push their lower-level Cultivators to mine and produce more.
Some of the more powerful forces even established exploration teams, going to the Time-Space Turbulences and the Spiritual Mist regions to find those wild Small Worlds.
The ore veins in most of these Small Worlds had not been fully exploited.
Once found, these major powers could mine a large quantity of Middle-Upper Grade Spirit Stones.
Although finding a wild Small World relied on luck and presented certain dangers,
after the sects continuously increased the bounties,
venturing into the Time-Space Sea Domain in search of wild Small Worlds became the most sought-after profession by the mid and lower-level Cultivators of the Lower Realm.
It was also recognized by them as the most likely opportunity for a life-changing breakthrough for those in the mid and lower strata.
...
In the world where Water Blue Star is located.
Within the vast starry sky, far away from the central area of the Solar System, lies the region where Pluto is located.
In this dark expanse of space, where sunlight takes an average of five and a half hours to reach,
a pristine white spaceship hovers in the outer orbital space of Pluto.
Pluto is not large, its volume only one-third that of the Moon, and its mass is even smaller, less than one-sixth.
Moreover, since its moon does not revolve around it as a center, after much deliberation by scientists, Pluto was ultimately stripped of its status as one of the nine planets and was categorized as a dwarf planet.
The door of the white spaceship slowly opened, and a Rabbit-Eared Spiritual Beast transformed into a female Cultivator, clad in a black leather outfit and wearing sunglasses, flew out without any space travel equipment.
The regular crew members inside the spaceship had grown numb to this sight.
"A planet full of ice and rocks?"
The Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator looked over Pluto with a relaxed demeanor.
Her expression was quite easygoing at first.
Gradually, she let out a ’huh’, took off her sunglasses, and revealed her bright red eyes.
Her breathing quickened as well.
"If there’s so much treasure light emerging from the surface, isn’t the underground even more exaggerated?"
"I must take a good look!"
"If I really find a treasure planet, I must be included in the next promotion quotas, right?"
"After all, luck is also a part of strength!"
"..."
The Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator turned into a streak of light and plummeted to the surface of Pluto.
Instantly, she blasted a huge crater on the surface of Pluto.
The giant rocks mixed with ice shattered into pieces.
"Freeze!"
The Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator uttered a sound only she could hear.
Spattering rocks and shards of ice in the vicinity all froze solid within a kilometer radius of the female Cultivator.
Her pupils glowed red at this moment.
After dozens of breaths.
The Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator flashed to a position a hundred meters away, reaching out with her right hand to grasp a pebble-sized gray crystal.
"This crystal should be some kind of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure mentioned by the master."
"It feels like the material quality is even better than the Taiyin Crystals on the Moon’s surface."
The Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator continued to analyze the special minerals on Pluto’s surface.
For a while, she stayed on the surface of Pluto for quite some time.
The crew aboard the white spaceship also sensed something unusual by then.
After all, with previous encounters with small asteroids or moons, this Transcendent had never stayed for more than a duration of an incense stick.
As time passed,
the captain of the spaceship had reported to the Water Blue Star Alliance as required.
Yet the Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator remained on Pluto, even starting to dig holes, having already disappeared from the spaceship’s field of vision.
Trusting the Transcendent, the crew wasn’t too uneasy.
Rather, they took this as a rare opportunity to relax amidst their busy schedule.
The captain also returned to the lounge, taking out a package of compressed tea cakes.
These tea cakes had cost the captain quite a favor to obtain while on Water Blue Star.
But no plan can account for the unexpected.
As Water Blue Star received support and various industry collaboration projects were widely promoted,
The tea cake in the captain’s hand, originally of considerable value,
now contained so little Spiritual Energy that at most it could be given a Mid-Lower Grade rating.
A few old friends who had failed to compete with him for the tea cake during the last private communication, because they had all stayed on Water Blue Star, bought better quality tea cakes than the one the captain had for merely one-tenth of the price he had paid.
It made the captain so angry that he wanted to throw the tea cake away.
Thinking of the distance from Water Blue Star, he ultimately could not bear to do it...
After taking a big gulp of hot tea, the captain felt much better and prepared to inspect the spaceship again later.
Suddenly, the captain heard the alarm bell start ringing.
Without bothering to continue drinking tea, he immediately rushed out of the cabin.
As a scientific research detection spacecraft, this pristine white vessel was around a hundred meters long and had a crew of about a hundred.
Apart from one Transcendent Cultivator transformed from a Golden Core Spiritual Beast, there were also two Buddhist Cultivators and four Transcendent interns from the Taoism sect.
Soon, except for the female cultivator still drilling on Pluto, everyone except the essential position staff members had gathered in the cockpit.
In the cockpit, everyone could see the large screen that was projected.
The spaceship’s radar had detected an unidentified flying object about a thousand kilometers away in space.
However, looking through the space telescope on board, one could only see obvious space distortions.
They could not observe the unidentified flying object on the radar.
Nevertheless, as they received daily briefings from the headquarters on Water Blue Star and messages from friends and family,
they had already learned about the Karlo civilization.
Thus, the captain and many others couldn’t help but think of possibilities like time-space nodes and space wormholes.
And judging by the radar reactions,
it was highly likely that something was coming through from the time-space node!
"Quick! Send the recorded data back to headquarters!"
"Also, have we made contact with the Immortal Leader?"
"After the Immortal Leader entered the underground, our contact with her was already severed."
Hearing this, the communications officer immediately reported the content that had been stated before.
The captain looked at the increasingly intense spatial ripples.
He gritted his teeth and said,
"Launch two warning missiles, targeting 15,000 kilometers above the Immortal Leader!"
Following the captain’s orders, two missiles were deployed.
In a short while, two dazzling fireworks bloomed in the high sky of Pluto.
The next instant, before the fireworks had a chance to dissipate,
the Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator had already flown out of the deep pit she had excavated, directly ascending above the pristine white spaceship.
Carefully, she placed the dozen or so grey crystals she had dug up into her Storage Spirit Bag.
The Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator learned everything the captain wanted to inform her about through her Divine Sense.
Then, she looked toward the direction of the warning, and while curious, she did not forget to send a message.
Whenever Su Ping was unable to receive messages, the information would be stored on the Jianmu Divine Tree on Jupiter and the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree on the Moon’s surface.
When Su Ping returned, he would be able to receive them.
Moreover, Su Ping had given the Primordial Spirit avatars of the Jianmu Divine Tree and the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree certain autonomy.
If the Spiritual Beasts under him or the Netherworld Ghost Cultivators he had contracted encountered danger,
they could help out depending on the situation.
"Stay down... no, better to hide away."
The Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator intended to take a look, but after glancing back at the spaceship below, she made a decision.
She enveloped the hundred-meter spaceship in Golden Core Mana and then lifted it to hide behind a satellite of Pluto, just in case.
Having concealed the spaceship with her Golden Core Mana, the Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator then turned and approached the abnormal space.
The crew members inside the spaceship were initially baffled, but they didn’t activate the spaceship; instead, they released a detection satellite that reached Pluto’s orbit and then directed it towards outer space.
Hoping to know what would happen at the earliest opportunity, they were ready to report back to headquarters and fulfill their duty.
The space distortion was intensifying.
The Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator put on a white Taoist robe of Low Grade Spiritual Artifact quality and held a Flying Sword of top-grade Spiritual Artifact quality in her hand.
Around her, talismans that emanated Mana fluctuations began to revolve.
Minutes later,
space suddenly started to exhibit conspicuous flickering sensations.
Then!
One after another, pitch-black spaceships with shapes resembling giant space whales appeared in the solar system’s starry sky!
