520: Chapter 520 The Mysterious Teacher

On the stone platform.

There was a palm-sized rune with mysterious, unknown patterns on it and some small characters in the center that Xiao Weiqing did not recognize.

However,

this did not hinder his desire for the Void Escape Talisman; one could never have too many means of escaping with one's life.

Back then, it was precisely by relying on the Secret Key given by Potz that he successfully escaped with his life from the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy.

"Thank you."

Xiao Weiqing expressed his heartfelt gratitude; as he was about to enter the cosmic starry sky, this Void Escape Talisman was far too important.

"You're welcome; this is what you deserve."

"How do I use this thing?"

Xue Yuan said, "Inject Source Power. The more you inject, the further you will be teleported, though you cannot control the direction of the teleportation."

Xiao Weiqing nodded.

Even if the direction couldn't be controlled, it was still excellent.

"Then what about this?"

Xiao Weiqing pointed at the last item, which was contained in a box, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Xue Yuan carefully picked up the box and said softly:

"This is a thunder god crystal."

"A thunder god crystal?"

"Yes, a thunder god crystal."

"What is its use?"

Xue Yuan said, "God Crystals were condensed at the beginning of the Universe's birth. They can be used to comprehend the power of Laws and are absolute treasures."

Xiao Weiqing was inwardly startled; the power of Laws certainly didn't sound simple.

"However, it's still too early for you. You need to comprehend the third level of the Domain before you can come into contact with Laws."

"Tell me more about it."

Xue Yuan shook her head. "Regarding this, my understanding is limited to what is recorded in the data. Saying too much might actually be detrimental. Once you enter the Holy Land, someone will naturally teach you."

"I see."

Xiao Weiqing did not push further. After all, Xue Yuan was not adept in the path of Cultivation, and saying too much could indeed mislead him.

"Xue Yuan, thank you."

Of the three items, each was more precious than the last; truly, even selling the Blue Planet wouldn't be enough to afford them.

"By the way, Xue Yuan, I still don't know the teacher's name."

Xue Yuan fell silent, only speaking after a few seconds:

"I cannot tell you Master's name, and you should not ask. If you enter the Undying Realm and we enter the Star Dome, you will naturally see Master."

"The teacher isn't dead?"

Xiao Weiqing was shocked and looked toward the Star Dome.

"Master has fallen."

"I can only tell you that Master came from the Fourth Universe Civilization, and Master's surname is a taboo in the Universe."

"The Fourth Universe Civilization?"

Xiao Weiqing frowned; he seemed to have heard of it before, but couldn't recall it at the moment.

Suddenly.

Xiao Weiqing exclaimed:

"Xue Yuan, did the Fourth Universe fail to have its civilization survive as a whole?"

"You know about that?"

Now it was Xue Yuan's turn to be puzzled. Logically, Xiao Weiqing shouldn't have come into contact with such information.

"I heard others talk about it in the ruins," Xiao Weiqing explained.

Silence fell over the hall.

After a long time.

Xue Yuan said dejectedly, "You are right. The Fourth Universe Civilization did not have its main civilization survive into the Fifth Universe Civilization. Only some scattered civilizations survived ignobly, and they have likely all integrated into the Fifth Universe Civilization."

"The Fourth Universe Civilization probably only exists in civilization archives now—no, I'm afraid there aren't even many records left in the archives."

"May I ask why?"

"What happened to the Fourth Universe Civilization during the fourth destruction of the Universe?"

Xue Yuan shook her head. "I don't know either. Master might have known something, but he never spoke of it."

Seeing Xue Yuan's dejected and pained expression, Xiao Weiqing didn't feel right asking any further.

"I'm sorry."

Xue Yuan looked up at Xiao Weiqing and shook her head.

"In that case, I'll head back."

"Mhm. When you enter the Dominator Realm, remember to come back once."

"Oh?"

Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow; it seemed there were more benefits to be had.

"Could it be that Teacher left more good things behind?"

Xue Yuan said crossly, "Master was an expert of the Undying Realm who roamed the Universe for countless years. Do you really think there are only these three items?"

"Among these three items, aside from the Void Escape Talisman, the God Crystal is not unique. At least as far as I know, the Holy Land definitely has them."

"As for the Void Escape Talisman, although it is precious, it is ultimately a consumable."

Xiao Weiqing's heart surged upon hearing this. Exactly; how could a grand figure of the Undying Realm leave behind only these three things?

"What other good things does the old teacher have? Can't you give them to me now?"

"No, you're only in the Star Lord Realm; they cannot be given to you."

"That thunder god crystal might not necessarily suit you. It's given to you so you can exchange it for resources in the Holy Land, ensuring you won't have to worry about Cultivation resources. The Void Escape Talisman ensures you have a chance to escape when in danger."

"As for the rest, they will be given to you once you reach the Dominator Realm."

Xiao Weiqing was helpless and could only ask, "Then can you tell me what things Teacher left behind?"

"I can't tell you that either," Xue Yuan shook her head.

"..."

Xiao Weiqing's heart was itching with curiosity, but he was powerless. "You might as well have not told me at all."

Xue Yuan stuck out her tongue and gave a sheepish smile.

"You just said the thunder god crystal is for exchanging resources, but didn't you say it's a treasure for comprehending Laws? Wouldn't that be too wasteful? Or if someone with ill intentions finds out, would they target me?"

Xue Yuan said, "Let me tell you about the Yunxu Holy Land."

"The Yunxu Holy Land is in the Southern Star Domain of the Fifth Universe Civilization. It is a top-tier power, a true colossus. Countless cultivators take pride in joining the Yunxu Holy Land."

"A single thunder god crystal can make two Sovereigns fight to the death, but within the Yunxu Holy Land, God Crystals are definitely not rare items."

"Within the Holy Land, the privacy of members is absolutely protected. Let alone one God Crystal, even if you had three or five, no one would risk challenging the Holy Land to do anything to you."

Xue Yuan added, "Once you enter the Holy Land and formally join the Fifth Universe Civilization, this Incubation Ground will become your private territory. No one will dare to invade it without permission."

Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly, feeling much more at ease, but then something felt off. "Xue Yuan, according to what you're saying, if the Holy Land is so powerful, why would they specifically send someone to pick me up to join? I'm currently only in the Star Lord Realm."

In his view, he was just a tiny shrimp, an existence that wouldn't make any waves if thrown into the Universe; how could he be worth the Holy Land's intervention?

Xue Yuan explained, "The Universe is vast, and the Human Race of the Fifth Universe Civilization has limited strength. To quickly control the Star Domain's territory, the Human Race created Places of Gestation everywhere. It's best if they can Cultivate someone in the Star Lord Realm; if not, there's no real loss."

"You should know that the Human Race is different from other races; it's a race with a low starting point but a high ceiling. The Incubation Ground is a method of 'pulling up seedlings to help them grow'."

"Actually, this is also a move born of necessity. You'll understand once you join the Yunxu Holy Land."

Xiao Weiqing nodded and sighed slightly. It seemed the situation of the Human Race in the Fifth Universe Civilization was only mediocre.

"By the way, there's one more thing you should pay attention to."

"What is it?"

"The Yunxu Holy Land is unlike other Holy Lands; the competition is incredibly fierce. You must give your all in the challenge to join the Holy Land. In the Yunxu Nine Heavens, every heaven is worlds apart."

"The challenge to join the Holy Land?"

"Mhm."

Xiao Weiqing said, "I seemed to have heard them say that I might not necessarily be able to join the Holy Land. So there's an assessment."

"Don't worry, with your strength, you can definitely join the Yunxu Holy Land. No Holy Land would shut its doors to a Genius who possesses a Domain."

"The difference is merely in resources and how long you can Cultivate in the Holy Land. I don't know much about the specifics; you can ask them."

"Understood."

He didn't stay for long.

Xiao Weiqing bid a satisfied farewell to Xue Yuan and returned to Azure Dragon Island.
