Age of Evolution#

Chapter 929: Chapter 932: Departure, Skyfire City!_1 Chapter 929: Chapter 932: Departure, Skyfire City!_1 The icy wind swept over the surface of the planet, stirring up a flurry of dust.

The dust settled on Lin Zhen, making him look like a statue that hadn’t moved for years.

It had been a year.

He had been meditating here for exactly one year.

For Lin Zhen, this one year was equivalent to twenty-four years!

For almost the entire year, the Eye of the Storm was deserted, at least on this intersecting continent, on the planet where Lin Zhen was, no one came for a full year.

The ground began to vibrate slightly, as if a pit had appeared, causing the surrounding soil to subside.

…

With a rumbling sound, the Treasure-seeking Vine wriggled out from the ground.

The Treasure-seeking Vine was covered with Divine Stones and occasionally some treasures, all sparkling brilliantly.

After emerging from the ground, the Treasure-seeking Vine coiled around Lin Zhen, like a quiet giant python, silently waiting for its master to wake up.

“Pata!”

Lin Zhen’s finger moved slightly, and a clump of condensed dust fell off.

His eyes snapped open, shining as bright as the stars!

“Ha~!”

A stream of stale air was exhaled, and the starry light around him burst outwards violently!

He had broken through!

The middle stage of God Realm!

The accumulation of twenty-four years had allowed Lin Zhen to not only break through from the initial peak of the God Realm to the middle stage, but also to advance significantly.

His Star Power surged from 3.5 billion to 3.8 billion.

If he could reach the peak of the middle stage, his Star Power could reach 4 billion.

After the breakthrough, Lin Zhen lifted his hand, and all the treasures on the Treasure-seeking Vine fell into his inner world, while the vine turned into a thin line and wrapped around his wrist again.

As the treasures entered his inner world, his avatar also opened his eyes inside the inner world.

The breakthrough of his main body allowed his avatar to enter the middle stage of the Divine Stone.

Through this breakthrough, the avatar even directly comprehended the seventh diagram of the Shadowless Step.

“Phew!

This time’s harvest is quite good.

I’ve entered the middle stage of the God Realm, comprehended a new Shadowless Step, and my power has increased slightly again.”

Lin Zhen raised his hand, the power of the water element flowed, thoroughly cleansing the dust off him.

“I wonder if my two sons have seen my message in the Dimensional Universe and added me as a friend during this time?”

Just as Lin Zhen was about to check the situation in the Dimensional Universe, there was a sudden fluctuation in the space around him.

With his current peak Sky Blue spiritual power, he could easily perceive everything around him, naturally sensing that someone was about to tear through space and arrive.

Lin Zhen, with his hands behind his back, locked his spiritual power onto a point in space, ready to unleash a storm-like attack if an enemy appeared.

Space tore and a person walked out.

Bai Yunyan!

Lin Zhen’s spiritual power rushed over and then turned gentle, like a spring rain, fluttering, then receded.

Bai Yunyan also naturally felt Lin Zhen’s intention to make a move, sweat broke out on his forehead, he instinctively wiped it with his hand: “Little brother Lin Zhen, it seems I just walked right through the ghost gate.”

“Hehe!

Brother Bai is too modest.

You’re one of the top fifty experts in the Hall of Fame.

Even if I attack you with all my might, you can easily resolve it.”

“Alright, alright!

Don’t try to deceive me, brother.

I just felt that your strength has improved again.

I’m old now, and certainly not your match with my feeble limbs.

Save your strength to deal with the Endless Species in the challenge.”

“Challenge?

What challenge?” Lin Zhen was taken aback.

Bai Yunyan was even more stunned: “Little brother!

You can’t just cultivate and not heard about the challenge.

You can’t just cultivate in seclusion and not care about what’s happening in the outside world.

Don’t you become like those martial arts fools who only focus on hard work and don’t care about the changing situation.”

Lin Zhen smiled bitterly: “I went into seclusion a year ago, and you came as soon as I finished my retreat.

I haven’t had a chance to see what’s going on recently.”

“Alright, since you don’t know, brother, let me tell you.

But this is not a good place for conversation.

Shouldn’t you take me somewhere nice to sit?”

Lin Zhen thought for a moment: “How about we go into the Dimensional Universe?

I’ll treat you to whatever you want to eat.”

“No, no.

The Dimensional Universe is after all virtual.

It tastes good at the time, but afterward there is no aftertaste in your mouth, it’s not exciting.

Where is your Liuli Ship?

Don’t tell me you’ve given it away.

Brother hasn’t sat in such a nice ship yet.”

“Oh that’s right!

I completely forgot about that.”

Lin Zhen lifted his hand, and the Liuli Ship emerged from his inner world.

The spacecraft is twenty-two meters long, five meters high, and ten meters wide, streamlined in design and entirely made of energy crystal stones.

Opulent with mesmerizing, vibrant colors, the ship can be described as exquisitely beautiful.

To be honest, Lin Zhen didn’t particularly like such a flashy shape and color scheme.

He felt that the ship was not exactly suited for men.

While a woman might be overjoyed to have such a ship, he preferred something more robust.

Bai Yunyan didn’t care about this and got on the ship with Lin Zhen directly.

“Wow!

This spaceship is so cool!

If you use it to pick up girls, there’s no way you could fail!”

Lin Zhen gave a wry smile: “That’s not my intention.

When I bought it, I mainly considered its good defense.

Otherwise, it would be practically useless.”

“Well, I wouldn’t say that.

This spaceship serves as a symbol of our status.

It’s the face of us martial artists!

When such a ship cruises through the Endless Star Sea, everyone else yields way.”

Lin Zhen came to the control panel and made a few adjustments, and Bai Yunyan also walked over.

“The greatest advantage of this ship is that it can fly at sub-light speed limit without fuel.

Inside it, there’s a formation that absorbs cosmic energy as propulsion.

If you want it to fly at the speed of light, you have to place a Divine Stone in it.

It can accelerate by taking advantage of the energy of the Divine Stone.”

Lin Zhen took a look, “I think we should hold off on adding the Divine Stone for now.

There’s no rush to travel immediately.

Brother, do you have any destination in mind?”

“Of course!

I came to see you firstly to discuss the Challenge Tournament and secondly to ask if you have anywhere to go.

If you don’t have a specific destination, why not come to Skyfire City with me?

It’d be a thrill to soar high on your ship and enjoy a luxurious lifestyle.”

Saying that, Bai Yunyan lay down on a lounge chair, “Why don’t you bring out some good food and drinks, bro?

We can chat while on the move.”

As of now, Lin Zhen didn’t have any particular destination in mind.

However, he didn’t know where Skyfire City was.

“Just set the automated navigation to Skyfire City.

Don’t tell me you don’t even know where Skyfire City is?!”

Lin Zhen gave a wry smile: “Actually, I don’t.”

“You truly are an obsessive practicer.

Apart from training, you know nothing else.

Let’s go.

Skyfire City is a must-go.

You can’t bow out of the Hall of Fame now, can you?”

After hearing Bai Yunyan say that, Lin Zhen had no choice but to set the voyage.

The Liuli Ship powered up.

The ship’s internal formation automatically absorbs the dark energy of the universe, leaving a dazzling colorful trail as the Liuli Ship disappeared into cosmic space.

“Wow!

This speed without utilizing any energy, the Liuli Ship really is a top-tier spaceship in the Original World.

Plus, it doesn’t have to worry about any interception.

Absolutely cool!”

Bai Yunyan took a sip of the fine wine prepared by Lin Zhen, threw a few peanuts into the air, traced a parabola, and caught them in his mouth.

Making himself comfortable, Lin Zhen also stretched out on another lounge chair, “Bro, can you tell me about Skyfire City and the Challenge Tournament?”

“Well, that’s a long story.

Skyfire City was basically the core area when the Original World was born.

It’s rich in mineral resources, and there are treasures everywhere.

It has always been a disputed territory between two major races…”

While Bai Yunyan talked, Lin Zhen also begun exploring the Domensional Universe.

Little by little, he figured out what Bai Yunyan was referring to.

He was indeed outdated.

The Challenge Tournament was currently the hottest topic in the Endless Star Sea.

It turns out that the two major races could determine the rankings in the Hall of Fame this way.

“Brother, I’ve gone through the Challenge rules.

This is greatly advantageous to those at the top of the rankings.

They can sit back and wait for the challengers below to laboriously work their way up.

Even if they lose a match, your 49th rank would only drop to 59th at most.

But if I, who’s currently at the 98th place, lose a match, I’d be kicked out of the Hall of Fame.”

“That’s correct.

This policy indeed favors those who rank higher.

Bro, don’t underestimate those challengers.

Although they aren’t in the Hall of Fame, almost all of them are the strongest ones among the Sealed Kings.

It’s not uncommon for them to defeat the martial artists in the Hall of Fame.”

Bai Yunyan quickly finished a bottle of wine and opened a new one, taking a big gulp, “The only thing that sucks a bit is that we have to face the challenges from the Endless Species and also challenge them in return.

It’s quite easy to be at a disadvantage if we don’t know the enemy’s strength well.”

Lin Zhen nodded and soon found out who was going to challenge him.

“Three-Eyes…

a martial artist from the Divine Eagle Demon Clan.

Brother, have you ever heard of him?”

Bai Yunyan shook his head, “Never heard.

I’ve been searching in the Dimensional Universe for your opponent, but surprisingly I found no details about him.

His information is confidential.”

Lin Zhen quickly had Chris search for information on Three-Eyes, but the results remained confidential.

This put Lin Zhen on alert.

Someone had arranged a confidential martial artist to oppose him.

There might even be a conspiracy in the works.”

“Ho ho, bro!

Speaking of the Challenge Tournament, it actually directly concerns you.

If you hadn’t defeated Su Lante a year ago, this event wouldn’t have happened so soon.

So be very careful.

I suspect the Endless Species are plotting something against you.”

Lin Zhen chuckled, “That’s expected.
