"Speak up, whatever I can help with, I will certainly assist you," Lan Xiaobu said without hesitation.
"In fact, there is a place that everyone wishes to go to. If you are willing, we can go there together," Hou Yi gritted his teeth and said.
He knew the implications of his words; if Lan Xiaobu became greedy, he could easily take his life.
He had seen Lan Xiaobu's strength and knew it surpassed his own.
"Do you still remember the Cosmic Wall I mentioned before?" Hou Yi asked.
Lan Xiaobu nodded, "I remember."
He had always wanted to visit a celestial cultivation planet, but the Cosmic Wall served as an obstacle.
Hou Yi's words had left a lasting impression on him.
If one wished to cultivate, they had to breach the Cosmic Wall and enter another universe.
Even while inside his battle shuttle, Hou Yi instinctively lowered his voice, "I found some information about the Cosmic Wall on Jade Dawn Star."
"Did Mu Yuansang ask you about the things you took?" Lan Xiaobu quickly understood, realizing that Hou Yi had remained silent earlier because it was someone else's secret.
Now he spoke up because Hou Yi was the one revealing it, indicating there were no more reservations.
Hou Yi nodded, "Yes, we can say we are out of options. Even if we escape the pursuit of those level-five technological civilization planets this time, we will eventually be discovered. It’s certain that no planet would dare harbor us. I have a slight advantage; I’m from a level-six technological civilization planet. Even if they know I tricked them, they wouldn’t dare raid a level-six technological civilization planet, but you are different."
At this, Hou Yi glanced at Lan Xiaobu.
"I suspect you are not from a level-five technological planet either. Regardless of where you come from, your planet is in danger of destruction."
Lan Xiaobu’s thoughts immediately turned to Earth, which was extremely distant from here and had no interstellar coordinates.
After eliminating Lian, who had a rough location for Earth, it should now be safe.
Next, Lan Xiaobu thought of True Promise Star.
If True Promise Star got dragged into this mess because of him, he would feel quite guilty.
However, he had no choice; even if he stood up, he wouldn’t be able to help True Promise Star.
His only hope was that these people wouldn’t find Earth.
Lan Xiaobu sighed inwardly, realizing his strength was still too low.
If he were a bit stronger, he wouldn’t have to worry about these people finding Earth.
He could go after them himself, not caring about Mu Zeji or the Great Emperor Saenu.
Hou Yi sensed Lan Xiaobu's worries and grinned, "I have a way to find the Cosmic Wall. There’s even a small chance to breach the Cosmic Wall and cultivate. Just think about it: once we cultivate into top-tier powerhouses and return, what could mere technological planets do against us? I don’t know how technology will develop in the future, but the current technological level has flaws when compared to cultivation. Technology can easily destroy a planet, yet it cannot easily kill a powerful cultivator. That’s why I long for cultivation."
"Can you really find the Cosmic Wall?" Lan Xiaobu looked at Hou Yi with surprise.
Hou Yi nodded, "Yes, I discovered a cultivation technique on Jade Dawn Star, but unfortunately, it’s a body tempering method. In addition to that, there are descriptions of the Cosmic Wall and how to reach its edge. However, according to what I learned, to pass through the Cosmic Wall, one must refine their physical body to its utmost limit; otherwise, failure is inevitable. I have the body tempering technique, so there is still a glimmer of hope. But having just the body tempering technique isn’t enough; we need a cultivation technique as well. I’ve heard of a level-lower technological civilization planet that has a cultivation technique hidden on it. We need to retrieve that technique and find a way to cultivate while searching for the Cosmic Wall."
Lan Xiaobu clapped Hou Yi on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "What a coincidence! I just got a cultivation technique, and I'll teach it to you."
"Huh?" Hou Yi was almost bursting with surprise at Lan Xiaobu's words.
While he had proposed going to a level-lower technological civilization planet to obtain a cultivation technique, it had only been an idea with little viability.
Let’s not mention how tightly such techniques are watched; their current identities meant they couldn’t even reveal themselves – it was practically a death sentence.
Hou Yi promptly pulled out a warm disc from his inner pocket and handed it to Lan Xiaobu.
"Take a look at this; this is what I have obtained."
Lan Xiaobu received the disc and then looked puzzled.
"There are only a few dozen words on this..."
Not wanting to finish his sentence, he’d seen something different.
Hou Yi chuckled, "Did you notice the difference? You only saw a few dozen words at first, but don’t blink. Once you finish reading those words, you’ll notice the characters on the disc will change again. I only found out later that this is a treasure..."
Lan Xiaobu couldn’t hear what Hou Yi was saying; he was already absorbed in the description on the disc.
"East of the shifting sands, between the black waters, there is a mountain named Immortal. This technique is called the 'Immortal Technique'..."
After a long while, Lan Xiaobu finally looked up, astonished as he stared at Hou Yi.
"Do you know who left this behind?"
Hou Yi shook his head.
He had obtained it on Jade Dawn Star, but he didn’t know who had left it behind.
"Do you know about Chi You? It’s mentioned here," Lan Xiaobu asked again.
Hou Yi shook his head again.
He only knew the disc contained top-tier body refinement methods, but he never investigated closely.
As for Chi You, he hadn’t encountered that knowledge.
"This is definitely a top-tier technique, but if you don’t cultivate, it won’t work just by practicing this technique alone. Now I’ll pass the Golden Crow Technique to you as we discussed. We’ll cultivate while heading to the Cosmic Wall," Lan Xiaobu decided without hesitation.
"Just like that," Hou Yi clapped his hands.
"The food in my battle shuttle is enough for the two of us and your pet to survive for several months. After a few months, I can find a supply planet. Even if we don’t find a supply planet in a few months, it’s fine; I have over a thousand vials of Vital Core Element Elixirs in this battle shuttle."
Hou Yi was a prince of a level-six technological civilization planet.
Even in his current plight, obtaining a bit of Vital Core Element Elixir was not that hard for him.
...
At this moment, outside Jade Dawn Star, the expressions of Mu Zeji, Great Emperor Saenu, Tao Zhanting, Zong Wang, and others were extremely grim.
They had questioned everyone who came out from Jade Dawn Star, and no one dared to kill Mu Yuansang and Tao Ai.
It could be concluded for sure that the one who killed Mu Yuansang and Tao Ai was either one of the two who left or both.
However, someone had to be held accountable for this.
Almost all eyes fell on Commander Tai and the others.
Without waiting for everyone to ask, Commander Tai hurriedly stood up, trembling as he said, "Great Emperors, I, Commander Tai, have something to report. That Lan Xiaobu says he comes from Blue Asia Star. After Blue Asia Star was occupied by Flying Jade Star, Lan Xiaobu and someone named Ke'er fled to True Promise Star together, and through True Promise Star’s selection, he entered True Promise Star's Star Expedition Army. This time, the guards from True Promise Star were also selected from this Star Expedition Army. Lan Xiaobu volunteered and was appointed as the captain of the guards for this mission."
Great Emperor Saenu chuckled, "Looks like he has been plotting for a long time."
Even though he knew Tai wouldn’t dare deceive them, Mu Zeji still said indifferently, "Your True Promise Star cannot escape blame this time. Of course, it’s also my responsibility for not capturing Lan Xiaobu in the Heavenly Net Star. The immediate priority is to capture Lan Xiaobu. Even if that Hou Yi is a prince from a level-six technological civilization planet, he cannot randomly kill people on Jade Dawn Star, especially since he’s killed so many."
"Great Emperor Chongyuan, we already asked earlier. Although Hou Yi comes from Jinquan Star, he is no longer the prince of the Xuanhe Empire from Jinquan Star," a brown-clad man rushed forward to report.
Zong Wang gritted his teeth, saying, "That little beast has tricked us again."
In the distance, an interstellar merchant’s eyes were darting about.
No one knew he had made multiple tracking markers on Hou Yi's battle shuttle.
He hadn’t known Hou Yi was from a level-six technological civilization planet when he did it; he just thought that as long as those participating in Jade Dawn Star remained alive, they would certainly have valuable items.
He first made a tracking imprint and could decide later if he would rob them based on the situation.
Now he found himself on the trail of a big fish.
Should he tell the Emperor this news?
After some hesitation, the merchant resolutely walked toward several great emperors from level-five technological civilizations.
As long as his actions proved useful, his gains would be substantial.
...
Lan Xiaobu had finished reading the Immortal Technique but had not begun to cultivate it.
Meanwhile, Hou Yi had already started to practice the Golden Crow Technique.
He was already in the foundational stage, and his trip to Jade Dawn Star was specifically for finding cultivation methods.
Therefore, teaching Hou Yi the Golden Crow Technique allowed him to begin practicing right away.
Lan Xiaobu refrained from cultivating because the Immortal Technique required a strict environment.
He could not practice body tempering techniques safely aboard the battle shuttle.
So as Hou Yi began cultivating the Golden Crow Technique, Lan Xiaobu also started practicing it.
He had planned that once he succeeded in condensing his dan, he would continue researching his little box.
The Dao does not sink.
Seven Sounds rise; in the vast night, one walks alone! Lan Xiaobu was highly anticipating this little box, having a faint premonition that it would guide his future path.
