499: Chapter 499 The Distant Place

"Bai Yao, you won't be able to escape."

The Wolf Clan Star Lord spoke, his tone carrying a sense of cruelty.

"Heh, Chi Liao, wait until you catch up to your grandfather before you talk."

"Destruction!"

Pitch-black Demonic Qi surged, transforming into a streak of light that streaked toward the two Spirit Beasts ahead.

"Hmph!"

"Fei Xuan, how are you?" Bai Yao asked.

"Bai Yao, you go first. I'll hold them off."

"Get on."

Bai Yao carried Fei Xuan on his back and continued to gallop, his speed not dropping in the slightest.

The three Yao Race Star Lords were preparing to strike again.

Suddenly.

A giant black tiger waved his hand, signaling them to stop.

"What's wrong? Huang Yun."

"We're not chasing anymore?"

Huang Yun said, "Xue Yue is summoning us."

"Xue Yue?"

"Why is he summoning us again? That guy... we're attacking the Spirit Beast Realm together, yet he's the one who never makes a move."

"Exactly, Chi Liao is right. If he had acted, the Spirit Beast Realm would have been conquered long ago," a Snake Clan Star Lord chimed in.

Huang Yun said coldly, "When you see him later, you can ask him yourself."

The two Yao immediately fell silent.

Xue Yue's strength far exceeded theirs; among the thirteen Yao Race Star Lords, he was the strongest. Speaking up in front of Xue Yue—wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"Let's go."

The three Yao Race Star Lords turned and left.

...

...

In the distant starry sky.

A galaxy with a diameter of six hundred thousand light-years.

On a certain planet.

On this habitable planet, there was only a single manor and no other buildings. In other words, this planet was private property.

Inside the manor.

A young human with light blue skin floated quietly, his body radiating a profound aura.

"Master, you have mail."

A rabbit with three tails hopped inside.

"San Bai, who sent it?"

"It's a mission email from the Holy Land."

"The Holy Land?"

"Read it."

"Yes, Master."

*Cough cough*—

San Bai cleared its throat and said:

"Ordered: Hendrick is to proceed to Incubation Ground No. 03406202 to guide a newborn Star Lord."

"That's it?"

"That's it, Master."

The youth opened his eyes and said helplessly, "I can tell at a glance that Teacher wrote this."

Only Hendrick's teacher would send such a 'three-no' email—giving no information whatsoever. He really isn't afraid of me running into trouble.

"I told you, I shouldn't have taken him as my master back then."

"Master, you were late back then; you didn't have a choice in who to take as a master."

"You certainly have a good memory."

Hendrick glared at San Bai.

"Where is the data for Incubation Ground No. 03406202?"

San Bai immediately said, "Master, I've already prepared it."

San Bai reached out and swiped in mid-air, and a virtual screen appeared.

On it was a star map and a dense list of introductions.

"400 million light-years? That far?" Hendrick was a bit stunned.

"Yes, it's right at the edge of the Southern Territory," San Bai laughed.

"That's not right. Did Teacher really send me that far just to pick up a newborn Star Lord?"

Hendrick fell into deep thought, then continued browsing the data.

"Hmm?"

"Sixty-five million years ago, a battle between powerful experts occurred; it is suspected that an Undying Realm expert fell there."

When Hendrick saw this, his eyebrows twitched. "Could there be a treasure, or an Undying Realm Legacy?"

If that were the case, it would indeed be worth a trip.

Although the Holy Land also had Undying Realm teachers and all sorts of resources and secret techniques, those all required credits to exchange. Right now, he couldn't even pull 100 credits out of his pocket, so going out to find some 'food' was a good idea.

"San Bai, prepare the spaceship and plan the route. We depart in one hour."

"Right away, Master."

San Bai tapped several times in the air.

"Route planned. This time we'll use a Grade A-3 spaceship. It will take 17 days and cost 51 credits."

"San Bai, are you doing this on purpose? I only have 52 credits left."

"Switch to a Grade A-2 spaceship."

San Bai said, "I can, but it will take over half as long and still cost nearly 40 credits. What if we arrive too late?"

"If we're late, we're late."

"But Master, the data shows traces of the Yao Race at Incubation Ground No. 03406202."

"Yao Race?"

Hendrick's face darkened. "Those scumbags... then use the Grade A-3. We're leaving now."

"Understood."

"Master, please wait a moment. Applying now."

One minute later.

"Master, the application has been approved. Grade A-3 Spaceship No. 831 is on its way from the Holy Land and is estimated to arrive in five minutes."

"Let's go."

Hendrick grabbed San Bai and soared directly into space, his speed exceeding ten kilometers per second.

...

After wiping the world's number one peak off the map, Xiao Weiqing headed east alone, flying back to Xinchang Prefecture.

It had been ten days since he left.

Arriving in Xinchang Prefecture again, his entire state was different. Standing a thousand meters above Xinchang Prefecture, Xiao Weiqing's mind shifted, and more than half of the prefecture appeared in his mind.

He wasn't intentionally trying to investigate anything; he just subconsciously used a bit of his Divine Soul power.

Ten days ago, he had done the same, but even with his Mental Energy fully activated, he could only cover a tenth of Xinchang Prefecture. His perception had been unclear then, only allowing him to roughly judge which areas had powerful cultivators.

It wasn't like now.

He easily knew the locations of Meng Cen of the Meng Family and Wei Cangbai of the Wei Family. Even the entrance to the Phantom Moon Ruins was discovered effortlessly.

It was a very special feeling, like a hole had been cut into a sheet of glass—it was extremely obvious.

Silently.

Xiao Weiqing entered the Phantom Moon Ruins.

This ruin wasn't large. Xiao Weiqing had been here once before. His figure flashed, appearing at the center of the building complex.

There was a semi-circular building here, and the entrance to the Phantom Moon Small Secret Realm was located inside.

However, Xiao Weiqing did not go straight in.

Instead, he went to the roof of the five-story building to the right of the semi-circular structure.

"Sixth Uncle, long time no see."

Wei Chaoxiong was startled by the sudden voice. He hadn't even noticed when someone had appeared behind him. Didn't that mean the person behind him could have killed him with ease?

He turned around.

Seeing Xiao Weiqing's young face with a smile, Wei Chaoxiong no longer found it strange. Although he guarded this place and rarely left, he often heard Xiao Weiqing's name.

Ever since that time Xiao Weiqing had displayed strength far beyond his peers in front of him, Wei Chaoxiong had concluded that this youth's future strength would be immeasurable.

He hadn't expected it.

Wei Chaoxiong had still underestimated Xiao Weiqing's growth speed.

In just two years.

Xiao Weiqing had already stepped into the Ninth Realm and easily slain a Half-God, while he was still lingering in the Eighth Realm.

"Long time no see, Dean Xiao."

Xiao Weiqing was slightly taken aback by Wei Chaoxiong's form of address, then smiled and said:

"Sixth Uncle, just call me Weiqing."

"Haha—alright."

Wei Chaoxiong laughed. He and Xiao Weiqing weren't really close, they only had the connection through Wei Lan. With Xiao Weiqing's current strength, he really didn't dare to be so bold as to call him by his name directly.

"Weiqing, are you here to see Wei Lan?"

"I remember you were just here ten days ago."

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Yes, and I'm also here to see Xiao Yue."

Having broken through to the Star Lord Realm, Xiao Weiqing felt he could talk to Xiao Yue. Previously, his strength was insufficient, and he needed to know more about the matter of the Phantom Moon Star Lord, as it concerned Wei Lan.

"Alright, go ahead then."

"Sixth Uncle, goodbye."

Xiao Weiqing's figure flashed as he arrived at the Small Secret Realm and stepped inside.
