538: Chapter 538 Blue Star in the Virtual World

Seven Star Tower.

Sixth floor.

Compared to the floors below, the sixth floor was cold and quiet.

Not only were there pitifully few people, but there were also fewer bookshelves than on the fifth floor, only a third of the amount.

Walking over to the device in the corner,

Xiao Weiqing silently typed in the word 'Stars'.

Immediately,

hundreds of Soul Cultivation Techniques related to stars appeared on the interface. Some had 'Star' in their names, while others were Soul Cultivation Techniques created because of the stars.

With one glance, Xiao Weiqing locked onto the Divine Soul Method in the first row.

“Nameless Divine Soul Cultivation Method (Fragmented): Hundreds of millions of years ago, supreme powerhouses fought a great war. Their Divine Souls were incomparably powerful, capable of summoning stars across the sky to fight.”

The description consisted of only this single sentence.

However, there was a remark at the end: countless Geniuses had once cultivated this Divine Soul Method, but upon reaching the Undying Realm, their Divine Soul cultivation speed ground to a halt, unable to advance any further, causing them all to choose to switch to another Soul Cultivation Technique.

The description of this Divine Soul Method brought joy to Xiao Weiqing's heart, but the remark made him frown.

“Is it talking about the Star Contemplation Method?”

Xiao Weiqing was not sure, but he hoped it was, because the exchange price was a whopping 22 million credits.

“22 million, and that's just to Cultivate to the Undying Realm.”

Xiao Weiqing was somewhat startled. What kind of charm did this nameless Divine Soul Method possess to make the Holy Land give it such a high evaluation?

The few Soul Cultivation Techniques below were also related to stars and could also lead straight to the Undying Realm, yet they only required five to six million credits.

Such a massive disparity was incomprehensible to Xiao Weiqing.

Flipping the pages back, the rest were all Soul Cultivation Techniques costing less than 1 million credits, and cultivating to the Dominator Realm was the limit.

“Why think so much? Whether it is or not, I'll just Cultivate it. I obtained it by chance anyway, so what more can I ask for.”

Next,

Xiao Weiqing spent some time filtering out several Divine Soul Methods suitable for Blue Star people to Cultivate. After careful consideration, he chose a Soul Cultivation Technique with a moderate price—the Mind-Concentrating Soul-Forging Method.

It was a very colloquial and common name, and a very popular Soul Cultivation Technique. It was also not expensive, requiring only 300,000 credits.

Although this cultivation method could only be cultivated to the Star Lord Realm, Xiao Weiqing still chose it for two reasons.

First, this cultivation method was one of the few low-tier cultivation methods recommended by the Holy Land, backed by an official endorsement.

Second, there was preferential treatment for the Incubation Ground. According to the situation of the Blue Star Civilization, if Xiao Weiqing entered the Fourth Heaven, he would only need to pay one-tenth of the credits.

If he entered the Fifth Heaven, the cost of this cultivation method would only be one-hundredth.

If Xiao Weiqing entered the Sixth Heaven, this cultivation method would be given to the Blue Star Civilization for free.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Xiao Weiqing left the Seven Star Tower and returned to his own courtyard.

“Master, you're back.”

“Yes. Yuanbao, help me submit an application.”

“Master, what application is it?”

“Apply for the Mind-Concentrating Soul-Forging Method for the Blue Star Civilization. The applicant is Xiao Weiqing.”

“Okay, please wait a moment.”

As a butler of the virtual world, Yuanbao handled this kind of business with ease.

A few seconds later,

“Master, the application has been submitted. The Mind-Concentrating Soul-Forging Method is expected to be delivered to the Blue Star Civilization within three days. The specific credits to be paid will be given after Master's Ascension Battle.”

Xiao Weiqing was delighted. “So fast?”

Yuanbao said, “Of course. As a Divine Soul Method provided by the Holy Land to benefit low-level civilizations, it is available all over the Universe. Master's Blue Star Civilization belongs to the Nanwu Civilization, so the Holy Land can have the Nanwu Civilization deliver the Divine Soul Method to the Blue Star.”

“I see.”

After applying for the Divine Soul Method for the Blue Star Civilization, Xiao Weiqing left the virtual world.

After returning to the real world,

Xiao Weiqing did not let trivial matters delay his cultivation anymore. Hanging a 'Do Not Disturb' sign outside his door, he entered cultivation mode, shutting out all external distractions.

...

Time passed.

Two days later,

Xiao Weiqing opened his eyes.

His Wristband had a notification from the virtual world. It was from Yuanbao, whom Xiao Weiqing had instructed before leaving the virtual world to notify him once the Blue Star Civilization's virtual world was fully set up.

Clearly,

the Blue Star Civilization's virtual world had already been set up.

With a thought,

Xiao Weiqing entered the virtual world.

“Master, welcome back.”

“Yuanbao, is the Blue Star Civilization's virtual world ready?”

“Yes.”

“You can return to the Blue Star right now,” Yuanbao said, pointing to a circular teleportation array.

Beside the teleportation array was a three-dimensional icon—a light blue planet representing the Blue Star Civilization, glowing faintly.

Xiao Weiqing was somewhat impatient and reached out to touch the planet.

Immediately,

a vortex appeared in the teleportation array.

“Master, you have the Ascension Battle tomorrow. Remember to come back,” Yuanbao quickly reminded, clearly knowing that Xiao Weiqing was going back to the Blue Star.

“I know.”

Xiao Weiqing nodded, then stepped into the vortex.

The scene shifted.

Xiao Weiqing had already arrived inside a city, but there was almost no one around. With a flash of his figure, he arrived in the air above the city.

A hundred kilometers from the city, a winding river coiled across the land, its waters surging endlessly and magnificently.

“Is this Luo Jiang Prefecture?”

“I'm really back.”

Xiao Weiqing stood in the air above Luo Jiang Prefecture, overlooking this mega-city.

Luo Jiang Prefecture's current city scale had already surpassed the Great Xia's Jingdu Prefecture, all because of Xiao Weiqing.

Currently, in the virtual world,

there were only a few tens of thousands of people in the entire Luo Jiang Prefecture, because the virtual world had just been set up and many people had not entered yet.

However,

in just this short moment, the number of people surpassed one hundred thousand, and it was still growing at a rate of ten thousand people per second.

“Did I appear in Luo Jiang Prefecture because I left from here back then?”

Xiao Weiqing guessed in his heart. He actually wanted to go to Azure Dragon Island.

“Did I just come out of that teleportation array?”

From the air, Xiao Weiqing saw a huge circular plaza in the center of the city. The plaza was engraved with runes, similar to a teleportation array.

Several squads of city guards had already arrived around the plaza. No matter when, the official actions were always the fastest.

There were more than twenty other teleportation arrays like this throughout Luo Jiang Prefecture City, but none were as large as the one in the center of the city.

With a flash of his figure, Xiao Weiqing flew back down to the plaza.

“Hello, may I ask where you need to go...”

Seeing someone approach, a city guard began to ask, but was suddenly pulled back by his teammate.

“He... Hello, are you Lord Xiao Weiqing?”

“Xiao Weiqing?”

“Where?”

“Where is he?”

The city guards, along with some people who had come to experience the teleportation array, erupted into a frenzy and began gathering toward him.

As the savior of the Blue Star Civilization, Xiao Weiqing had already been written into the textbooks. In Great Xia, and even on the Blue Star, you might not know who the Empire's leaders were, but you definitely had to know who Xiao Weiqing was, what he looked like, and his deeds from childhood to adulthood.

All of this was actually secondary.

The most important thing was that Xiao Weiqing was the first person from the Blue Star Civilization to step into the Universe—and a living one at that.

Xiao Weiqing was helpless; he hadn't expected to be recognized so quickly.

“I'm going to Azure Dragon Island, is that alright?”

“Yes, of course... Please, after you...”

Before the words had fully left his mouth, Xiao Weiqing's figure had already disappeared inside the teleportation array.
