The control room of the spacecraft.
Luo Feng and seven other members of the Primordial Secret Realm, along with Yanshi Wang and a group of Immortals, gathered together.
“We’re about to begin interstellar travel,” Yanshi Wang laughed heartily, his voice seemingly shaking the entire control room. “Traveling to the Primordial Secret Realm is somewhat different from traveling to ordinary star regions.”
“Oh?”
Luo Feng and the others listened curiously.
“You’ll see soon enough,” Yanshi Wang said. As his words faded, a cold voice echoed throughout the control room: “Initiating interstellar travel: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6…3…2…1…” Instantly, the entire spacecraft trembled slightly. After a brief moment, the ship stabilized.
“Travel completed.”
“Display the external environment in full virtual simulation,” Yanshi Wang commanded.
Immediately, the surroundings changed, revealing the external scenery to Luo Feng and the others.
“Heavens above!”
“Wow!”
The eight of them, including Prince Wuka of Banka Star, stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the outside view.
“What do you think?” Yanshi Wang smiled.
“Incredible!” Luo Feng gazed outside. A faint mist covered the view, with colorful clouds visible in the distance and occasionally large chunks of asteroids.
“This is… impossible!”
Luo Feng and the other seven were stunned. Normally, interstellar travel would directly transport the ship into the ‘star sky’ of the original universe, a vast emptiness ensuring safety. Yet now, Yanshi Wang’s spacecraft had directly traveled into the interior of a certain region—an extremely risky maneuver.
“This isn’t right,” Wuka exclaimed. “Is this… inside the Primordial Secret Realm?”
“Yes,” Yanshi Wang smiled slightly, his finely scaled facial features wrinkling. “We are already in a relatively central area of the Primordial Secret Realm.”
“But then, how do we leave the Primordial Secret Realm?” Wuka pointed outward. “Look, there are asteroids and dust clouds everywhere. There’s no sufficient distance for the spacecraft to accelerate! To perform interstellar travel, the ship must accelerate to light speed!”
Luo Feng nodded in agreement.
Entering the interior of the Primordial Secret Realm was easy, but leaving?
“You’re correct,” Yanshi Wang acknowledged with a smile. “The Primordial Secret Realm has a maximum diameter of about five million light-years, equivalent to the size of a star region.”
“In open space, one can freely accelerate to light speed, but a cosmic secret realm is different. Cosmic secret realms have unique heat currents, cold currents, and gales, along with much dust, creating significant resistance for spacecraft. Accelerating to light speed is nearly impossible,” Yanshi Wang explained.
Interstellar travel has strict conditions.
It requires accelerating to light speed!
To achieve this, resistance must be extremely minimal, and a long stretch of acceleration distance is needed—just like an airplane needing a runway. The spacecraft’s required acceleration space is millions of times greater than that of an airplane runway, which is easily achievable in the near-vacuum of space.
But within a cosmic secret realm… it’s nearly impossible!
“That’s right,” Yanshi Wang nodded. “Generally, interstellar travel is impossible within a cosmic secret realm. However, the Primordial Secret Realm is different. It has been explored and modified. Within the Primordial Secret Realm, many areas have been cleared by some super-powerful experts, creating vast empty regions for spacecraft acceleration.”
“Oh?”
Luo Feng, Ronjun, Qianshui, Wuka, Aichen, and others were amazed.
Clearing a region large enough for a spacecraft to accelerate to light speed was an incredibly vast undertaking.
“We had no choice! The Primordial Secret Realm is too vast. Without this, flying from the outermost edge inward would take five million years, even at light speed. We simply couldn’t avoid traveling directly into the interior,” Yanshi Wang chuckled. “Later, each of you will receive a star chart of a portion of the Primordial Secret Realm. With that chart, you’ll know how to enter and exit the realm.”
…
The spacecraft flew within the Primordial Secret Realm.
“I need to drop off each of you eight at your respective residences,” Yanshi Wang said in the control room with a smile. “It will probably take three days to cover all eight locations.”
Luo Feng and the other seven remained silent.
Three days just to fly to each of their residences?
“Alright, Ronjun, we’ve arrived at your residence,” Yanshi Wang announced. As he spoke, the external virtual display allowed everyone to clearly see a beautiful, small floating landmass in the distant misty void. As they approached, the landmass grew larger until the spacecraft landed directly on it.
Beep!
The hatch opened.
“Everyone, come out and have a look,” Yanshi Wang called out cheerfully.
Luo Feng, Ronjun, and the other seven eagerly flew out of the hatch. As they exited, they immediately sensed the rich cosmic essence energy within the faint mist. Standing on the land, they gazed into the infinite void, where thin mists drifted and occasional cold currents passed by.
“Land floating in the void?”
“Awesome!”
“How vast is this land?” The eight of them looked carefully. The floating landmass was enormous, far beyond Luo Feng’s ability to estimate visually.
Boom!
Yanshi Wang landed on the ground and smiled. “This is Star Fragment No. 80389092, with a diameter of approximately 5,800 kilometers. At its center lies a grand mansion—Ronjun, that will be your residence. Of course, from now on, this entire star fragment belongs to you personally.”
“Understood,” Ronjun looked around. The floating land was lush with plants and flowers.
“The cosmic essence energy in the Primordial Secret Realm is incredibly rich,” Yanshi Wang pointed to the surrounding mist. “These omnipresent mists consist of cosmic essence energy condensed into extremely fine particles.” As he spoke, Yanshi Wang clenched his fist in the air, rapidly compressing a large area of mist.
It condensed into a large crystal block.
“Space Crystals?” Luo Feng, Aichen, and Ronjun couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Correct,” Yanshi Wang smiled. “The endless mist here can form Space Crystals when gathered. The cosmic essence energy is so abundant that training here allows clearer perception of cosmic essence fluctuations, making cultivation more beneficial.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Dozens of figures flew in from the distance.
“Your Highness!”
Dozens of warriors in battle armor landed neatly, led by a Monarch, who simultaneously saluted respectfully.
“Everyone else, back to the ship. Next stop is Wuka’s residence,” Yanshi Wang called out.
“Ronjun, see you later.”
“Ronjun, we’re off first.”
Luo Feng and the others exchanged greetings and reboarded Yanshi Wang’s spacecraft. The ship ascended and departed once more.
…
One by one, the members were delivered to their residences. Luo Feng was the fifth to arrive.
“Star Fragment No. 80389081?” Luo Feng muttered to himself as he walked across the land. “Approximately 6,200 kilometers in diameter. According to Yanshi Wang, these star fragments were created by super-powerful experts of the Virtual Universe Company, who shattered stars to create these many fragmentary outposts.”
“The cosmic essence energy here is so rich,” Luo Feng waved his hand through the mist, sighing involuntarily.
If he wanted Space Crystals, he could make them anytime.
Simply compressing the mist would yield Space Crystals… However, for Luo Feng and other core members, even one trillion cosmic credits equaled just one Hunyuan Unit. To compress and produce one trillion cosmic credits? Goodness, how many years would that take? It simply wasn’t worth it!
Of course, if ordinary residents from regular planets saw this, they would go mad with desire.
Cosmic credits were still a very valuable currency for the common people of the universe.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng looked up.
Dozens of figures flew in from the distance. At their head was a bald old man, the leader of Luo Feng’s guard team, ‘Oduolike·Wen·Shenglaisuo.’
“Your Highness,” the dozens of them saluted respectfully.
“Understood,” Luo Feng smiled. “Odu, finally meeting you in person.”
“I’ve been looking forward to this day,” the bald old man smiled. “Your Highness, please follow me.”
Shortly after.
Under the escort of his guards, Luo Feng arrived at the entrance of an ancient manor. The manor was 300 kilometers in both length and width, with many buildings inside. Such a massive structure was extremely easy for the Virtual Universe Company to construct.
“Your Highness,” Odu smiled. “Allow me to introduce it to you.”
Whoosh!
As he spoke, Odu ascended into the sky. Luo Feng followed.
They flew to an altitude of about tens of thousands of meters.
“From this height, you can barely see the edge of the star fragment,” Luo Feng looked down. Odu pointed toward the distance.
“Your Highness, look over there.”
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng looked and was startled.
Far, far away, a deep blue planet shone brightly, its light unimpeded by the endless mist.
“That’s a super-large planet,” Odu sighed. “With a diameter of 1.28 million kilometers, it’s strangely extremely cold. Our star fragment orbits this super-large ‘ice planet’… There are over three thousand star fragments orbiting this giant ice planet, almost all of which are inhabited by core members of the Primordial Secret Realm.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng found it hard to believe.
A diameter of 1.28 million kilometers?
It was almost the same as the diameter of a star in the solar system, yet it was an icy super planet that could emit light? Strange!
“The Virtual Universe Company has long issued orders: no one below the Immortal level is allowed to enter that ice planet. Even Monarchs entering it would almost certainly perish,” Odu sighed. “A planet of ice that can emit light… and can kill Monarchs. It’s stronger than a star.”
“Indeed, cosmic secret realms are mysterious, and many things defy common sense,” Luo Feng shook his head.
Actually, the mist that was so rich it could easily condense into Space Crystals, spreading across an entire star region… such a place could give birth to any strange phenomena.
“This…” Luo Feng looked down, gazing at the large piece of star fragment floating in the void mist. “This will be my cultivation place from now on. Let’s go down.”
Swoosh!
Luo Feng and Odu dove directly downward.
