Three months later…
On a planet much smaller than the Cerulean Sea Star, it was almost entirely like an endless blue ocean.
Somewhere in the ocean were seven or eight giant turtles, as huge and strong as a mountain. Each was like a small island of its own. Their bodies were mostly submerged in the sea. Their heads and tails aligned with each other, forming a narrow chain of islands.
Between the giant cyan turtles were laid wide planks of strong iron, forming a relatively flat walkway.
Above the path were a few houses without proper roofs. They were only small tents made out of drapes, which were now filled with various exotic objects.
A young man wearing a large green robe and an oval hat danced in front of a stall.
On his shoulder was perched a colorful parrot, waving its wings as if he was talking about something.
This man in green was none other than Shi Mu. In front of him was an obese woman with a red veil covering her face as she spoke.
From time to time, Shi Mu swept a small cluster of herbs with a strong aura on the booth, wondering if he should purchase it, but unfortunately, he could not speak their language. It was like a chicken trying to communicate with a duck.
“Eh…”
Just then, a beast inside a water tank beside him began to come out and twist in the air.
Shi Mu looked at it and saw the shore not far away. It was unknown when but two tall, green-skinned, full-bodied, bald men appeared. One wore a sleeveless vest while one hand of his held onto a long cylindrical tube, playing a cheerful tune. The other man was holding a stack of things that looked a bit like a fishing net.
And the otter, swaying to the man’s tune, seemed a little intoxicated. Shi Mu glanced at it for awhile before recovering his gaze. It was not the first time he witnessed this sort of technique for killing a water-type beast.
After further difficult negotiations, Shi Mu finally reached a deal with the obese woman and bought a small bunch of herbs with some spirit stones.
…
Another half a year on this particular day.
The sand on this vast desert was not yellow but gray. Each grain of sand was the size of a thumb. From afar, one could clearly see the surface had a metallic luster.
At this time, there were three suns hanging in the sky and it was so hot that the desert seemed to be roasting with blue smoke wafting off the ground.
In the distance, gray figures slowly moved forward and gradually approached.
The team members were of different heights but all of them were covered in large robes. They were riding giant brown rats.
The claws of these giant rats were of iron that allowed them to traverse the hot sands without even the slightest discomfort, making them incomparable for traveling in the desert.
On the back of a rat at the end of the team was a young man in a gray robe.
The man held the rat’s back with one hand while and used the other hand to drink from his leather water pouch.
This person had a clean facial structure with perfect big eyes. It was none other than Shi Mu.
Suddenly, a call sign came from the front of the team and the entire team stopped immediately.
“Elder Cha Ke, why did we suddenly stop?” an old man from the team asked confusedly.
The language spoken by this person was the same as the previous call sign. Shi Mu could now understand most of the language as it was a common tongue in the Star Field Dimension.
On the back of the giant rat ahead of the team, a tall man in a green robe turned his head and revealed an ugly face covered in scales with one eye but two pupils. The man shook his head at the rear and stretched his finger to the far side of the sky.
The front line that was originally calm revealed a black line lying horizontally. The black line began to get bigger… It was a sandstorm! It was so strong that it sent the sand and stones flying. The momentum was shocking.
Shi Mu sat on the giant rat as he rubbed his tired eyes, and closes them to get some sleep
On this rare and ruined planet, there were no living creatures at all. Deserts were everywhere and sandstorms were just as common. It was more frequent than rain in the Cerulean Sea Star. It was said that even if a Heaven-Ranked warrior to be caught in such a storm, they would not survive.
Fortunately, although this kind of sandstorm occurred frequently, neither its magnitude nor duration were very long. As long as one did not get too close, there was nothing to worry about.
The reason he came here was because the Star Field Dimension was a shortcut to another planet.
…
One year later, late at night…
In a lush forest, a strong figure clung to the top of a giant tree, striking a strange posture.
Everything here looked very similar to the Cerulean Sea Star. The only difference was the six bright moons in the soy. They were the shape of a silver disc, projecting bright moonlight across the land.
That figure was Shi Mu, who was cultivating the moonlight through dreams and absorbing its essence.
Buzz!
There was a wave of volatility in the sky and the moonlight that fell in the air disappeared. The surrounding area instantly fell into total darkness.
Shi Mu suddenly woke up from the dream. As he looked up, he saw a huge black ship flying slowly above his head, casting a huge shadow.
The ships were shaped like giant shuttles drawn by the front three wings of the beasts. The hulls were engraved with complex and incomprehensible runes, emitting a faint glimmer of light. Adding a bit to the entire ship was the mysterious color it had.
Shi Mu compared it in his heart. Although the flying ship was huge, it was incomparable with the nature that he once saw in his dreams. Though the scales of flying objects were not any of the Cerulean Star Field, it could definitely be built.
It was more than a year ago that Shi Mu had arrived on the Star Field Dimension through some unknown planets. Gradually, he learned more about the Star Field Dimension and began to understand in depth about its resources.
One of the points was that for most planets with vitality, although it was not as the Cerulean Sea Star, the heavens and earth were much richer than the other. Moreover, the transmission to other stars in the Star Field was not too rare. There were more than a dozen planets in various regions of the planet.
Every time one used the transmission array, they would need to consume a piece of Slstar stone the size of a fingernail. On other planets, although the Star Stone was not as scarce as it was back in the Cerulean Sea Star, it was also a very expensive and important material. The general price was between 100,000 to 200,000 spirit stones.
In other words, if not for Shi Mu getting such a fist-sized star stone, it would have been hard to move now.
…
Two years later…
In an unusually dense forest where the trees were not only tall but unusual, the smallest ones were more than ten feet whereas the bigger ones were seventy-eight feet high. It was like a green mountain standing in the sky.
The forest was full of foliage, its canopy blocking out the sky, giving it life to a lively scene.
Somewhere in the forest, green trees lingered and a city stood among them. The floor space was not small at all, almost twenty miles.
The city was also dominated by green. The buildings in the city were simple. They were dotted with green trees and flowers everywhere, which gave a very clean and fresh vibe.
Moreover, the city was quite prosperous too. The streets were crowded like rivers but most of them were not human.
In the center of the city, a giant tree was planted but it was cut off at the waist about forty or fifty feet from the ground. It had a flat open space of twenty or thirty feet.
The open space was filled with complicated runes and patterns. Surrounded by more than a dozen green pillars, the runes inside constituted a huge transmission matrix.
There were some people wearing green armor guarding the squad, and diversity of breath emitted all around.
At the moment, the sun was empty but there was not much enthusiasm in the city. The breeze was still a little sleepy.
The huge transmission array suddenly burst into a glare of white light. As the light converged, two figures appeared.
A man appeared in a green robe with a sword and rod behind his back. He had a cold expression. It was none other than Shi Mu.
The other was a giant alien two feet tall. He had a pair of blue eyes, bronze skin and long ginger hair. Standing in front of Shi Mu, he appeared to be of giant size.
A guard at the side saw this and went to the front and asked a few words. Not long after, the two of them left the transmission array together.
Shi Mu stood in the air and looked from a distance. The white clouds blossomed above the blue sky. Under the sky until the end of the horizon, were lush forests everywhere. The wind blew through and the top of the woods began to tumble. The raging waves in the sea were spectacular.
“Huff! This is the East-Saint and it’s extraordinary!” he took a deep breath and praised.
Here, the heavens and the earth in the air were extremely rich. Compared to the Western He Continent of the Cerulean Sea Star, it appeared to be much smaller.
Only such a rich aura of heaven and earth could breed such a huge tree, hence the spectacular forest.
In the past two years, he had traveled to a lot of planets but no planet was as full of life as this one.
“Haha! The East-Saint is the site of the Holy Land of Qinglan. It’s not so bad!” The blue-eyed alien man laughed jokingly as if the two of them were close friends.
“That’s right! Brother Kui, have you ever been to the Holy Land of Qinglan?” Shi Mu asked.
“Oh, I have not been there but I have passed by before. Starting on this path we are right now, just walk all the way to the east and you can reach there in four or five days. If you’re afraid of losing your way, you can go to the city first to get yourself a map,” the blue-eyed alien man said.
“Thank you for your advice,” Shi Mu replied gratefully.
“There’s no need. If it wasn’t for Brother Shi Mu, I would have been dead at the hands of the Star Beast,” the giant alien man laughed.
“It’s hard to stand by and not do anything when one requires my help,” Shi Mu waved his hand as he said.
“Brother Shi, I still have some unfinished business to tend to so I shall take my leave now. If you decide to take a trip to the Rising Sun City, don’t forget to visit me.”
“Sure!” Shi Mu nodded.
The giant alien man parted ways with Shi Mu. As he walked, he arched his hand and his body lit up in yellow as he walked away.
