Chapter 434 - 396: The Gold Content of a 50-Win Streak, a Personal Audience with Lord Yang Lei of the Three-Life Race

Not everyone could be like Wu, who dominated an era, traversing countless top-tier world clusters and leaving behind innumerable legends.

Therefore, the hostess felt there was more to Jiang Qiu than met the eye. Realizing he was beyond her to handle, she reported up the chain of command. Her report then went further up to the regional manager, who, with a raised brow, crossed space and time to appear in the reception room where Jiang Qiu and Snow were waiting. "You two wish to contact Lord Celestial Star?"

He was a Fusion Realm existence. Though not at the Peak, his strength was still remarkable. He cultivated a top-tier Secret Technique of the Three-Life Race, and his Cultivation Technique was outstanding. His personal power was far beyond that of any ordinary Independent Cultivator. At first glance, he saw that Jiang Qiu and Snow had no Cultivation—they were just a pair of ordinary people.

’There were only two possibilities for this situation. The first was that the two of them were intentionally concealing their true Realms, making it impossible for him to see through them. The second was that they truly had not practiced Cultivation and were just ordinary people.’

’Clearly, it couldn’t be the second option. Ordinary people wouldn’t know of Lord Celestial Star’s name. To have heard of that great lord, one must have at least been to the regions influenced by the Yin Yang Great Realm. After all, no one in the Thunder Great Realm ever mentions Celestial Star’s name. It’s never been publicized here, so who would know?’

’And to have reached the area around the Yin Yang Great Realm, they must have traversed the void. Traversing the void also presents two scenarios. The first is to do so with external aid, like a Space-Time Travel Ship or a Space-Time Teleportation Array. But only major powers can afford those. How could ordinary people possibly manage that?’

’Therefore, it must be the second case: relying on their own power for Space-Time Travel. A Fusion Realm expert who has grasped the Space-Time Law to a certain degree, for instance, can perform Space-Time Travel. Their ability to do so is relatively stable, and with enough Spirit Charm, they can travel very long distances. What they lack in power, they can make up for with time.’

’So, the two people before me must be at least in the Fusion Realm. And since they could deceive my senses, it’s highly likely they’re even at the Peak of the Fusion Realm!’

Realizing this, the manager’s attitude became very amicable. He didn’t think their request was improper in the slightest. Instead, he simply emphasized how difficult it was to establish contact across space and time, especially over such a vast distance. The resource cost couldn’t be measured in single uses; it would be like emptying their entire warehouse of stockpiled resources into a massive furnace. An ocean of resources would be consumed. If the communication lasted long enough, the Three-Life Race’s entire operation in the Thunder Great Realm would be ruined.

In short, contacting Celestial Star in the Desolate Realm from this world would mean the rate of resource consumption would exceed the rate of acquisition. They had to be cautious.

Hearing his explanation, Jiang Qiu couldn’t help but frown. "Is the resource cost really that high?"

’He didn’t have many resources left in his personal space. The Soul Race’s reserves had been vast, but on the long journey from the Desolate Realm to the distant Thunder Great Realm, he had passed through tens of thousands of worlds. With no way to resupply, he had been living off the fortune he’d acquired from the Soul Race, and it was now nearly depleted.’

’Under these circumstances, he truly couldn’t afford the cost of long-distance communication with Celestial Star. But if he didn’t contact Celestial Star, how else could he get detailed information on the Eight-direction Reversing Ship?’

’With Celestial Star’s vast Divine Abilities, he can even provide real-time updates on the coordinates of the Eight-direction Reversing Ship. He must have plenty of surface-level intelligence. If I could just ask him, I could probably formulate a suitable plan to rescue Liu Zili and the others.’

’But the problem now is that I have no money, so I can’t contact Celestial Star.’

At this thought, Jiang Qiu’s brow furrowed deeply. He exchanged a glance with Snow, their eyes conveying their shared helplessness. There was nothing to be done.

"Hmm..." The manager hesitated for a moment before asking curiously, "May I ask, what is your relationship with Lord Celestial Star?"

"Relationship?"

Jiang Qiu frowned. ’If I had to describe our relationship... I guess you could say we’ve worked together?’

’Back then, I made a deal with him. I got a fifty-win streak, and he promised to release Zhu Weiyi. We were in contact for a while after that, and he provided a lot of information.’

’But I was the main one who benefited. After all, he even helped me develop Blue Star, while the only value I provided was the fifty-win streak. It feels a bit unbalanced...’

Just as Jiang Qiu was hesitating, Snow put her hands on her hips and declared, "My senior brother achieved a fifty-win streak in the Celestial Star Arena in the Desolate Realm."

"What?!" The manager’s pupils widened like a startled fledgling’s. "You achieved a fifty-win streak in the Celestial Star Arena!"

Jiang Qiu nodded. "I did."

"Honored guest, please, have a seat, have a seat! I’ll find a way to contact Lord Yang Lei, who is stationed here for our Three-Life Race in the Thunder Great Realm," the manager said, ecstatic, looking as if he were about to jump for joy. He quickly added, "Lord Yang Lei is on good terms with Lord Celestial Star. They used to interact frequently. He is one of the strongest Unity Realm cultivators in the Thunder Great Realm right now."

"Alright. Thank you for the trouble."

The manager said no more and hurried off to request contact with his superiors. He wasn’t about to miss an opportunity like this. He was hosting someone who had achieved a fifty-win streak in the Celestial Star Arena!

What did a fifty-win streak mean? It meant you had defeated every single one of the strongest public challengers in the Celestial Star Arena! That was a fifty-win streak!

Historically, those who achieved this feat were all at the Half-Step Unity Realm, or were even supreme prodigies who had just broken through to the Unity Realm!

These two people before him had an ordinary temperament, but in terms of strength, they could completely crush him. Even the Three-Life Race, who could act proud and arrogant before Independent Cultivators, had to be completely respectful when facing such prodigies of the same realm.

As long as someone achieved a fifty-win streak and didn’t die prematurely, they were destined to become a Unity Realm existence!

A future Unity Realm expert! The value of that was simply off the charts. One must understand: beneath the Unity Realm, all living beings are but ants!

Of course, what truly excited the manager was that anyone who could get a fifty-win streak in the Celestial Star Arena must have a close relationship with Lord Celestial Star. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them Lord Celestial Star’s friend. Their status alone required someone of Lord Yang Lei’s level from the Three-Life Race to receive them, so as not to disrespect Lord Celestial Star.

And if he performed well, he might even be rewarded by Lord Yang Lei. After all, having the chance to serve a future Unity Realm expert and leave a good impression was an excellent opportunity.

He quickly used internal channels to contact his higher-ups, namely the general manager. The general manager was shocked to hear the news and immediately reported it further up the chain, until the message reached Yang Lei, who was fishing by a lake. "What is it?"

"Lord Yang Lei, the manager of the shop in a certain city has reported to me that a guest claiming to have a fifty-win streak in the Celestial Star Arena wishes to contact Lord Celestial Star across space and time."

The voice on the communication was incredibly respectful. Yang Lei frowned slightly. ’A fifty-win streak? After all these years, another one has appeared?’

The last fifty-win streak was thousands of years ago. Every person who achieved it was coveted by all the major top-tier powers, but he hadn’t heard any related news.

It was mainly because the Desolate Realm was too far away, and the resources for cross-world communication were too great. It was normal that he wouldn’t have been informed. However, that didn’t mean he didn’t believe it.

’After all, the fact that this person is actively seeking out Celestial Star suggests this might actually be true. A prodigy with a fifty-win streak is someone we absolutely cannot neglect.’

The Three-Life Race had always been pragmatic. They rarely postured arrogantly to deliberately oppress smaller powers or Independent Cultivators. Everything was based on benefit.

Yang Lei took a shallow breath, Thunder flashing in his Bright Eyes. "It seems I must go and meet this guest."
