Chapter 967: Monsters

In the vast universe—the splendid Celestial Court was glowing like the sun.

A warship was sailing away outside the Celestial’s domain.

Elder Yan’s projection appeared inside the warship. He said to Su Ping, “Tell me your address when you settle down. The training resources on the spaceship should be enough to last you for half a year. Tell me if you need more.”

“Okay. Thank you, Elder Yan,” Su Ping quickly thanked him.

“Master asked me to tell you that you can go to the best academy of the universe when you become a Star Lord. You have been admitted as a special student. Of course, you’re not going there to take classes. An opportunity is waiting for you there; you can claim it when you become a Star Lord,” said Elder Yan.

This came as a surprise. Su Ping replied with delight, “Got it.”

“Be safe. Don’t take unnecessary risks and focus on your cultivation,” Elder Yan reminded him in the end.

Su Ping nodded.

Once he said goodbye to the elder, Su Ping looked at Yun Mu and asked curiously, “Senior Yun, what’s the relationship between you and Master? Are you a pet too?”

Yun Mu was similarly observing him. She could tell from Elder Yan and Shen Huang’s attitudes that they thought very highly of that young disciple, which made her curious. She remembered that Shen Huang hadn’t been as invested when he admitted Qin Wenxian as a disciple, one of the best.

“Sort of. But my master died and I was confined by your master. Now, I’m finally out of prison; I’ll be freed as long as I protect you for a hundred years,” said Yun Mu with hope in her eyes. She considered that it would be an easy task to protect such a kid for a hundred years.

He would be safe as long as he didn’t recklessly enter dangerous places, and none of the Ascendant experts would easily attack a Celestial’s disciple. Only Shen Huang’s enemies would probably give it a try, sending Star Lord assassins to kill him.

Su Ping was enlightened. He then said, “Thank you for your help. I’ll take my leave to continue with my cultivation. You may take some rest, senior.”

“That’s all right. I’m already resting,” said Yun Mu with a smile, “Don’t mind me. Just think of it as if I didn’t exist.”

“Well…” Su Ping coughed and said, “I’m going to do something private. I would rather be alone.”

Yun Mu was stunned for a bit. She realized that Su Ping’s secrets would be exposed if she was around while he was cultivating. After all, such geniuses usually had their own hidden methods. He certainly didn’t want her to know of them if she would leave a hundred years from then.

“Got it.” Yun Mu nodded and then disappeared.

She wouldn’t need to worry about his safety while he stayed inside the spaceship anyway.

Once she left, Su Ping set off to the ship’s training room.

The spaceship’s course was set to reach planet Rhea, except for the peculiar fact that Rhea was no longer in the Silvy Galaxy. Joanna had pushed it to a solar system named Rainbow, making it a wandering planet system.

…

At the border of the Rainbow Space Station.

Many spaceships were sailing close to the space station, heading in all directions. They lined up in front of the star gate, waiting to be scanned and teleported to the habitable planets in the planetary system.

“Damn it, how much longer do we have to wait? Those things will catch up to us if we don’t hurry!” Macron cursed angrily inside one of the spaceships.

A couple of kids were standing next to him. They were his children.

Their entire family was on the run. They were originally a noble family on their own planet, but catastrophe struck and they had to flee from the fallen planet.

“Dad, are we going to our Uncle’s place?” asked a young man curiously. There wasn’t much fear on his face; instead there was solely eagerness and interest in what the future had in store for them.

Macron nodded and said, “Your uncle lives on the Maka Planet in the Rainbow Planetary System. We can only go to him for help. Let’s stay there until our family business is relocated. By the way, we need to find Katherine a good school and a good mentor; she still has a lot of cultivation to do.”

He focused his eyes on a young woman.

She was the daughter he was the most proud of, and she was also the hope of the family. She was extremely gifted in cultivation, and was graced by a rare constitution, having reached the Ocean State when she was only in her twenties. He believed she had what it took to enter the best academies in the Rainbow Planetary System!

“Yes, my sister has a lot of cultivation to do. Her master said she had a shot at becoming a Star Lord. She may grow to become master of an entire planetary system,” said a handsome young man as he nodded. He looked at his sister with affection, and some other unusual feelings.

The girl named Katherine, however, was quite calm. She simply frowned and gazed at the space station outside the window. “Father, why did such a disaster happen on our planet? Where did those horrifying things come from? The authorities said they had been caused by a lab virus, but I don’t think so. They looked like biochemical beasts to me…”

Macron shook his head and said, “Don’t bother about where they’re from. They’re just horrible beings to us. We need a new home. The military detachment guarding the Rainbow Planetary System will probably keep them at bay. Hopefully the creatures on our planet will be cleared by our lord in time. I can only pray to the Lord of Space for our oil fields and salt seas to not be tainted by those creatures…”

Worries and regret were all over his face; he wanted the disaster to end immediately.

Katherine glanced at her father but remained silent.

Her ambition had always been to explore the universe, not to run the family business. She wanted to know more secrets about this vast and unknown expanse. There were too many things she wanted to see; they were fascinating to her.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, an invisible energy burst hit the spaceship and made everybody on board shake. Four of the ordinary passengers had even lost their balance and fallen.

Macron was shocked; he quickly looked out of the spaceship, only to see fireworks bursting out in the dark space, outside the spaceship. To be more precise, it was a barrage, rather than fireworks!

He immediately looked at the dealer of such barrage, and saw hideous creatures that were marching in space like locusts.

“Damn it, it’s those things. They’re truly here!” Macron exclaimed in panic with widened eyes.

The space station also detected the invading creatures at that moment. All the annihilation cannons deployed outside the portal were activated, shooting out rounds which illuminated the dark universe.

The passengers on many other spaceships saw the monsters too. Some exclaimed, some were excited and curious, while others were absolutely fearless. They believed that the garrison of the Rainbow Planetary System was more than capable of eliminating those creatures.
