After flying for a long time, Wang Xu returned to the ancient battleship.
"Celestial Spirit, take me to the Realm Cultivation Room," Wang Xu said.
After waiting half a day, Wang Xu’s figure remained motionless.
Wang Xu looked around and said again, "Celestial Spirit, take me to the Realm Cultivation Room."
"Huh? Where did Celestial Spirit go?" Wang Xu wondered.
Wang Xu called out several times, but the figure of Celestial Spirit still did not appear.
"Forget it, I’ll use my spiritual consciousness to search." Just as Wang Xu was about to use his spiritual consciousness to locate Celestial Spirit, suddenly...
The entire ancient battleship trembled violently, and then the whole Central Control Room suddenly became bright, with light flowing over the control panel, and the screen that hadn’t lit up for a long time suddenly opened.
"Master!" A sweet voice accompanied by a figure floated over; it was Celestial Spirit, smiling delightfully.
"Celestial Spirit, where did you go? Why didn’t you respond when I called for you?" Wang Xu asked, "Also, what happened to the ancient battleship?"
"Hehe." Celestial Spirit chuckled sweetly, pointing around, "Master, see how amazing I am, I repaired the ’Bailan’ all by myself!"
Wang Xu was startled, and gradually a look of joy appeared on his face: "The Bailan is repaired? Didn’t you say it was beyond repair?"
The Bailan is the name of this ancient battleship, given by Xian Qu. Although Wang Xu has taken over the Bailan, he did not change the name.
In the past, Xian Qu was on Earth, and the Bailan was too damaged for Xian Qu to repair. Now, to Wang Xu’s amazement, Celestial Spirit has repaired it.
"It’s all thanks to you, Master. The special mineral you brought back is an extremely unique material in the cosmos, perfectly able to repair the crucial core part of the Bailan." Celestial Spirit smiled.
"Special mineral?" Wang Xu remembered, in the past year, Wang Xu traveled many places, leaving footprints all over Earth. The mineral Celestial Spirit mentioned was a mineral he found inside a pyramid buried in sandstorms.
This mineral was beyond Wang Xu’s understanding, even blocking spiritual consciousness, which greatly surprised Wang Xu.
So he brought this mineral back to the ancient battleship for Celestial Spirit to identify. Along with this mineral, there were many other rare items that Wang Xu entrusted to Celestial Spirit.
Unexpectedly, Celestial Spirit used that mineral to repair the ancient battleship. This means, perhaps, they could leave Earth and travel to other planets?
"Celestial Spirit, can the Bailan perform a space-time jump now?" Wang Xu asked.
The distance between two life-bearing planets is very far, at least tens of light-years. Relying solely on the warship’s speed, the journey alone would take thousands of years.
Therefore, to travel among stars, the capacity for space-time jumps is necessary to save a lot of time.
"No problem, Master, but performing a space-time jump consumes a lot of Cosmic Crystals. With just the Cosmic Crystals we have now, I’m afraid we won’t get very far." Celestial Spirit said dejectedly.
"Has the huge stock of Cosmic Crystals left by Xian Qu been used up?" Wang Xu was surprised. Xian Qu’s ring contained a large amount of Cosmic Crystals, totaling thirty thousand units.
Celestial Spirit shook her head: "Repairing the Bailan used up almost all the Cosmic Crystals. We currently have less than a thousand units of Cosmic Crystals left on hand."
Wang Xu took a deep breath.
Thirty thousand units of Cosmic Crystals were all used up in an instant.
"What to do? Is there no way to travel to another planet?" Wang Xu asked.
Once he reaches another planet, Wang Xu could contact other cosmic influences, which might save Earth.
"There is, but we have to gamble. If we can reach another planet before all the Cosmic Crystals are exhausted, we can withdraw another portion of Cosmic Crystals left by the previous owner from the ’Cosmic Bank’." Celestial Spirit said.
"Did Senior Xian Qu leave more Cosmic Crystals?" Wang Xu was surprised. To him, thirty thousand Cosmic Crystals was already a huge fortune. He didn’t expect there to be more left by Xian Qu.
"Of course, Cosmic Martial Artists usually don’t carry too many Cosmic Crystals with them. Most are stored in the Cosmic Bank. With the ’Crystal Card’ the previous owner left you, you can withdraw a certain amount of Cosmic Crystals." Celestial Spirit said.
"Crystal Card, is this what you’re talking about?" Wang Xu fumbled out a card made of purple crystal, about the size of a palm, with a lustrous purple light flowing over it, particularly dazzling.
"Yes, that’s it," Celestial Spirit said, "This is the highest-level Purple Crystal Card. You can withdraw up to a hundred thousand units of Cosmic Crystals without a password. To withdraw more, you need the card’s password."
A hundred thousand units of Cosmic Crystals!
Wang Xu’s heart pounded; a hundred thousand units of Cosmic Crystals is an unfathomably large fortune for him now.
"Right, to withdraw Cosmic Crystals from the Purple Crystal Card, a password is needed, but Senior Xian Qu didn’t leave me any password?" Wang Xu wondered.
"I don’t know either, but I believe the password must be hidden somewhere. Once you reach a certain realm, you’ll be able to unlock it and get the password." Celestial Spirit said.
Xian Qu’s ring was ; Wang Xu could open it only after reaching the Star Level.
As for the password for the Purple Crystal Card, it might require Void Level or even Black Hole Level.
"Alright, in that case, let’s take the gamble!" Wang Xu decided immediately.
If not for the crisis on Earth, Wang Xu might not have risked traveling to other planets. He would have waited until his strength was sufficient before leaving Earth.
But now, with Earth on the brink of disaster, he wants to protect his family and guard Earth, so he has no choice but to take the chance.
"Dad, Mom, I’m going to leave for a while in a few days. I might not come back for one or two years this time."
At the dinner table, as soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, Wang Zhenguo immediately frowned and asked, "Where are you planning to go, you scoundrel? Not showing up for one or two years."
"Cultivation." Wang Xu found an excuse.
"You’re already a Venerable, why are you still cultivating?" Wang Zhenguo said.
Wang Zhenguo and the others didn’t know about the Earth crisis, and Wang Xu couldn’t possibly tell them to avoid causing panic.
"Dad, beyond Venerable, there’s still the God-level. I want to become a God-level person in the future, so naturally, I need to spend more time on cultivation," Wang Xu said.
"Alright, alright, having ambition is good, Xu’Er, you can cultivate, but don’t wear yourself out," Lin Hui said with concern.
"Mom, your son is a Venerable, strong and healthy!" Wang Xu laughed.
The family resumed their joyful and lively atmosphere.
"Brother Hong, I need to leave soon and might not be back for a year or two. Can you help look after my family?" Wang Xu said.
Hong Yushu frowned, "Going for two years? Where could take so long?"
Seeing Wang Xu remain silent, Hong Yushu shook his head and said, "Alright then, don’t worry, I’ll immediately apply for a transfer to the Seventh Safe Zone. With me there, your family will be safe!"
"Thank you, Brother Hong," Wang Xu smiled.
"What’s with the thanks between brothers!" Hong Yushu jokingly replied.
Inside the ancient battleship.
"Phew, I’ve informed Mom and Dad, and Brother Hong is trusted to watch over them. Now it’s up to me!"
With everything arranged, Wang Xu felt at ease to leave.
Wang Xu stood at the center of the Central Control Room of the ancient battleship, Celestial Spirit hovering beside him.
"Celestial Spirit, let’s begin!" Wang Xu immediately ordered.
"Okay, Master!" Celestial Spirit responded with a smile, waving its hand. The entire Central Control Room transformed, the control console and screen in front shifted and concealed, revealing a vast viewing deck. Through the glass, the outside scene was directly visible.
Suddenly, the entire ancient battleship slowly levitated, as if the entire continent was rising, the body of the warship trembled slightly, and the stones embedded in it fell into the sea.
Below the battleship, a beautiful Bailan bloomed vividly.
The battleship emitted a strange sound and then launched fiercely towards the sky!
The speed of the battleship was extremely fast, like a violent stream of light shooting up, everyone worldwide could see a white light rushing outward from Earth.
Just as the battleship was about to break free from Earth, the space around it distorted suddenly, and the entire battleship seemed to enter twisted space, instantly disappearing without a trace.
"Master, I just received news, the warship ruins in the Seventh Restricted Area have disappeared!" Silver Light rushed to Luo’s residence, pushed the door open, and said.
"Disappeared?" Luo said in surprise.
He closed his eyes, and his spiritual consciousness suddenly spread out.
"It really disappeared..." Luo opened his eyes, disbelief filling them.
"Notify all Void Level; initiate a global meeting." Luo became tense and immediately instructed.
"Yes!" Silver Light promptly replied.
Meanwhile, intelligence agencies all over the world discovered the disappearance of the warship ruins, shaking the entire human upper-echelon suddenly.
The Seventh Restricted Area actually disappeared?
Could there still be life inside?
Various speculations arose endlessly, but no one could solve it.
In the boundless cosmos, space distorted, and a massive warship suddenly appeared.
"Phew." Wang Xu looked at the boundless starry sky before him and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Celestial Spirit, were we spotted by those Cosmic Thieves?" Wang Xu asked.
"With them? There’s no way they’d discover the Bailan," Celestial Spirit proudly said, "The Bailan was painstakingly built by the previous master, with top-notch concealment abilities. Unless a Celestial God Realm expert personally arrives, no one can discover it."
"Have the space coordinates been recorded?" Wang Xu asked.
"Currently recording, once we have the space coordinates, we can leave or enter Earth at any time," Celestial Spirit replied.
Wang Xu’s gaze moved towards the starry sky, his heart surging; this moment was so significant, he was the first person to truly step into the cosmos!
