Chapter 574: An encounter on Culumus Star

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

Zhou Bao knew that his Infinite Poison Banner could not absorb any more poison because it was not a fairy weapon yet.

For now, he was not planning to refine it into a fairy weapon, and had given up the thought of exploring the Soul-silencing Star because of what had just happened. The Infinite Poison Banner could have been fatally poisoned if he hadn’t taken it back in time. That would have been a big joke. Besides, no matter how powerful he was, his chances of coming out alive from that toxic star was miniscule. He was smart enough not to risk his life.

“Forget about it! Even the Purple Scorpion Sea Area and the Milky Way Star Area cannot enter. I should stay out of it. The Void Map shows that there are some other interesting places. I’d better go and have a look around. I’d like to see the differences between our Seven-deity Regions and the other exotic macro worlds.”Zhou Bao thought.

The two star areas had occupied all the habitable stars and spaces on the Infinite Star Sea. Some suitable for human habitation, some suitable for practicing, some suitable for growing spiritual grasses and trees, and some suitable for raising creatures. The abundant resources had helped to create many great practitioners here. Practitioners in the Mysterious Realm were everywhere. Genuine Immortals’ power was seen as merely above average. Only the Venerables could be regarded as masters. The number of Lord of Heavens, the most powerful fighters, in the two star areas far exceeded that in the Seven-deity Regions. Human Immortals, who were legendary in the Seven-deity Regions, were not rare here, and stories about them could be heard in different sects. Famous Human Immortals in the two areas even outnumbered Lord of Heavens in the Seven-deity Regions.

This world was thousands of times bigger than the Seven-deity Regions, and had much more complicated rules, sects, regions and systems, which attracted Zhou Bao greatly.

There were no rulers nor explicit laws in the Infinite Star Sea. Here, the strongest became kings and only the fittest survived. Especially now when the Devil Fetus was about to be born, this place became even more chaotic. People of different backgrounds gathered here and some of them, such as Zhou Bao, even came from other star areas.

“Perhaps it’s not a good thing to have the Void Map and Transmitting Formations now. Although people who came from the Seven-deity Regions to the Infinite Star Sea this time are very strong, the previous ones are rather weak in strength. Once captured, they’re very likely to reveal the whereabouts of the Seven-deity Regions, which could cause much trouble. The two star areas are powerful enough to open the passageway toward the Seven-deity Regions through Transmitting Formation. Some mighty guys could even calculate the specific coordinates of the Heaven Realm and arrive there directly through Highest Heaven Celestial Device. If that happens, the Seven-deity Regions will be in great danger.”

Zhou Bao’s worry turned out to be right.

In the Infinite Star Sea, there were countless Transmitting Formations, which were built by different sects from the two star areas. After all, not every practitioner was as powerful as Zhou Bao, who could stay or move in the hollow for a long period of time.

Billions of miles away from the Soul-silencing Star, there was a Transmitting Formation built by the True Spirit Sect, a relatively powerful sect. This Transmitting Formation led to the Cumulus Star, a medium-sized planet controlled by the True Spirit Sect.

In this realm, planets and worlds were quite different. A planet, such as the Soul-silencing Star, did not have its independent rules of space and time, and was surrounded by some pneuma and spiritual qi at most. Everything on a planet was synchronized with the hollow and it was as big as it looked. However, a world had its own independent rules of space and time, and was surrounded by endless spaces. It might look like a satellite no bigger than the moon, but in fact endless spaces and times were inside. A micro world, such as the Azure Heaven, was countless times bigger than an ordinary planet. Macro worlds, such as the Heaven Realm, the Milky Way Realm or the 13 macro worlds in the Alliance of 13 Realms, were even bigger. The whole space a macro world covered could be much larger than its own star area suggested.

A planet, like a world, had its own creatures and resources such as spiritual grasses and spiritual stones, which were related to practice. Therefore, the more planets one controlled, the more resources one possessed, and the more powerful one could become.

The Cumulus Star was an ordinary planet in the Infinite Star Sea with only one specialty, that being a large amount of clouds. The clouds in the sky accumulated and changed between day and night, reflecting various strange lights. Aside from that, it was quite ordinary, inhabited by common people who had immigrated from the Purple Scorpion Sea Area thousands of years ago. For those people, whose ancestors had lived here, the Cumulus Star was their home.

There were not much in the way of resources on the Cumulus Star. The spiritual mines had been mined out by True Spirit Sect more than one hundred thousand years ago and the spiritual qi here was not suitable for growing spiritual grasses. It was because of this that it was not an ideal place for practitioners. The True Spirit Sect occupied this place only for its unique location.

The Geographical location alone was quite important, even though Transmitting Formations were available. In fact, geographical location of different planets in the hollow became more important because of Transmitting Formation. Since the size, gravity, revolving direction and speed of a planet’s orbit might affect the transmission and the law of space.

Located on a main artery of traffic, the Cumulus Star was located at a great position, which had made it a famous natural trading place. A place to exchange goods and commodities within the Infinite Star Sea.

Most of the common people on the Cumulus Star made a living by providing trade services.

When the transmission ended and the green light from the Transmitting Formation disappeared, Zhou Bao saw two pairs of eyes staring back at him.

When he was about to leave, one of the two stopped him and said, “Eh, well, five Spiritual Stones for one transmission!”

Zhou Bao smiled, handed out five Spiritual Stones and then left.

Spiritual Stones were regarded as Mysterious Objects in the Seven-deity Regions, because they contained strong spiritual qi and pneuma. With spiritual stones, practitioners were able to practice even in a place without any pneuma. This was a secret in the Seven-deity Regions, but common sense in the Infinite Star Sea.

Since the two star areas had vast territory and abundant resources, spiritual stones were also used as currency.

In the beginning, Zhou Bao did not have any spiritual stones. However, since he controlled the Azure Big World, where spiritual stone mines were not rare and few people would bother to exploit them, it was quite easy for him to get spiritual stones.

Of course, he learned all this from the Void Map.

Within the map, there were many spots which were marked as production locations for spiritual stones. Though, many also had a note saying that they were depleted.

“After all, human beings and intelligent living creatures are greedy. Their development is based on pillage. But when they plunder everything and there is nothing more, all that is left is extinction!” Zhou Bao thought cynically, walking on a broad street.

The Cumulus Star had broad streets, many big cities and countless common people. Its pneuma level was almost the same as that of the Seven-deity Regions. There was nothing special in terms of architectural styles and languages. This had revealed that this planet, even the two star areas, shared the same origin with the Seven-deity Regions.

At this moment, Zhou Bao was wandering in one of the biggest cities of the Cumulus Star, the Five Rivers City.

The name was given because of the five big rivers that joined here.

Five Rivers City was the second largest city in the Cumulus Star and also its trade center. The core of this city was the transmission pavilion which controlled various transmissions.

There were different kinds of Transmitting Formations within the pavilion, where transmission took place every second. Some transmitted people while some transmitted goods. People from every corner of the Infinite Star Sea had come here to do business. Zhou Bao felt as if he had entered a huge, and noisy, commodity market.

He had seen many practitioners along the way who were practitioners under the Mysterious Realm, but most of them were common people.

In the Five Rivers City, most of its population were common people. There were at best one or two Individual Immortals to settle disputes. After all, the main job of practitioners was practicing. They should not get involved in the petty squabbles of merchants.

“It’s the same as markets in the Seven-deity Regions. There’s nothing special except that people are also selling celestial devices. Eh——, what a coincidence!!” Just as Zhou Bao was whispering to himself, a strange smile suddenly went across his face, as if he had discovered a new continent.
