Quan He left early the next morning.

When Yu Hong woke up from his meditation, many of the other’s personal belongings had already been removed from the room.

He quickly summoned Speed Man to clean up a bit, then stocked up on fresh water and food.

Although he could absorb moisture from the air and condense it into usable water, there were places where even the air might not be guaranteed. Therefore, preparations had to be made in advance.

After tidying up, Yu Hong began to check the condition of the entire safe house. This time, he planned to restart his journey, continuing to let the Savior Ship take him to find new lands of vitality.

He had already been staying on the mining star for a very long time.

With the Water Instrument Ball in hand, he could return at any time. Unlike before, when he returned for resupply, his safety base had changed from other places to the Mineral Star Wanxue Palace.

After a busy half day, everything was ready. Yu Hong finally headed to Wanxue Palace to bid farewell to his teacher and senior brothers and sisters.

“It seems you are about to leave.” Yu Xuezi smiled at the respectful Yu Hong in front of him. “Have you decided where to go?”

“Yes, Master. I now need special power to refine my Dan Qi and enhance the quality of my Golden Core. So, I plan to further explore the Star Disaster. Perhaps I can find suitable items.” Yu Hong said earnestly.

“Going further, your current strength might encounter greater dangers, so be extremely careful.” Yu Xuezi showed a hint of concern in his eyes.

He was actually planning to suggest that Yu Hong find something within this space-time universe to refine his Dan Qi.

But considering that the risks in the local universe’s star domain were no less than those in the deeper parts of the Star Disaster, especially since the disappearance of the Heavenly Venerate, all kinds of bizarre dangers were emerging in the depths of the universe.

So letting the Savior Ship continue to go deeper into the Star Disaster was also a good choice.

“Your safe house’s protection is extremely strong. I won’t say much more since you understand, but there’s one thing you must heed… If you encounter a discontinuity, absolutely do not leave the safe house. You must return immediately. The area where discontinuities occur is already relatively deep into the Source Disaster. It is close to the Source Disaster Core Zone. Any trivial trouble that appears could be completely beyond your ability to resist.” Yu Xuezi said seriously.

“Disciple understands!” Yu Hong nodded.

“Alright, go then. As cultivators, if we always remain closed off in retreat, without experiencing the winds and rains, our future achievements will be limited, and we will not be able to withstand heart demons. This journey is a necessary part of our cultivation….” Yu Xuezi said, feeling a bit reluctant at the thought that Yu Hong might encounter insurmountable dangers.

But a cultivator cannot always remain in seclusion. After the Golden Core Stage, the mind’s state is required.

Flowers in a greenhouse definitely couldn’t break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

The training period is also when many Immortal Seeds are most likely to perish.

So all he could do was to give as many safety tips as possible to Yu Hong and explain how to avoid potential dangers.

“Master, why worry? The top Immortal Seeds are nearly all peerless geniuses;ordinary calamities only serve as their growth fodder, and their survival capabilities far exceed ordinary people’s imaginations.” Bai Sheng, next to them, was not worried at all. “Disciple once had the privilege of encountering one before arriving at the mining star. That genius Immortal Seed was ambushed and surrounded by opponents a whole realm above him. He managed to reverse the situation in absolute adversity, breaking through on the spot, his power surging exponentially. So, geniuses like Junior Brother, seeming ordinary on the surface, can indeed explode with unpredictable power when pushed to the limit.”

Yu Hong: He had no idea he was so impressive.

Bai Sheng’s words did ease Yu Xuezi’s mind a bit.

But looking at Yu Hong carefully, he felt that Yu Hong lacked the aura and presence of those peerless genius Immortal Seeds. Instead, he had the cautious and meticulous nature of an ordinary refugee, careful in everything.

Seeing this, he felt even more worried.

“Sigh

He reached out and grabbed the Water Instrument Ball from Yu Hong, holding it in his hand.

Buzz.

Layer upon layer of silver immortal power surged out, transforming into countless threads that converged and poured into the Water Instrument Ball.

The silver threads disappeared after a few seconds, condensing into a complex silver symbol.

Using the same method, Yu Xuezi condensed three symbols in a row before handing the Water Instrument Ball back to Yu Hong.

“There, these are three trump cards I’ve condensed for you. Each Immortal Talisman can, once activated, allow you to instantaneously move a short distance closer to the mining star. However, this movement is uncontrollable and cannot be accurately positioned. So you must use them sparingly and only as a last resort.”

Yu Hong took the Water Instrument Ball, looking at the three Immortal Talismans on it and then at the somewhat tired-looking Master, feeling slightly touched.

“Disciple obeys!”

He stepped back and bowed deeply.

“Actually, I hope you don’t go too deep. You can find enough to refine your Dan Qi in the surrounding areas. But I also understand that geniuses always have unique thoughts. No matter how much I caution you, once you’re out there, it’s up to you to decide what to do.” Yu Xuezi sighed.

“No, actually, disciple is very afraid of death.” Yu Hong quickly defended himself.

He was not a natural-born genius but had grown and tempered himself bit by bit through acquired experiences, making him cautious about everything.

“If you are willing to listen, try not to go deeper into the Star Disaster. Maintain your current position. To determine if you’ve gone too deep, look at the Immortal Talismans;the deeper you go, the brighter they will glow.” Yu Xuezi reminded.

“Yes, disciple understands.”

Yu Hong nodded.

“Junior Brother… be extremely careful. On this journey, heed the advice carefully Hei Ying also reminded from the side.

“Yes! I am very afraid of death, rest assured.” Yu Hong smiled.

Finally, bowing deeply to them, he looked back and saw Quan He standing outside the palace gate, quietly watching.

He smiled and waved at him.

Shhh!

In the next second, the Eye of Transmission activated, and the palace gate in front of him instantly transformed into the tables and chairs inside his safe house.

Buzz.

Inside the safe house, layers of protective Arrays activated, isolating all means of transmission and instantaneous movement.

This was a Sealing Array set up by Yu Hong and Quan He together, specifically targeting individuals like him who could move freely via instantaneous movement.

Using himself as an experimental target, the Sealing Array had been tested repeatedly to effectively block instantaneous movement abilities.

After activation, he could not move in and out freely.

Soon, with a rumbling sound coming from the walls,

the entire Black Spirit slowly lifted off from the surface of the mining star, gradually accelerating and flying towards space.

Swish!

Just as it left the atmosphere, the next moment, a large number of colorful threads suddenly appeared around the Black Spirit, and it re-entered the Wind Disaster, disappearing.

At the moment the Black Spirit disappeared, a short figure with a huge tumor on its back suddenly appeared in mid-air nearby. Watching the previous location of the Black Spirit, it sighed and disappeared as well.

Countless colorful threads rapidly flowed outside the glass window.

Yu Hong stood at the window, watching the scenery outside, allowing the Black Black Spirit to move on its own.

The long-unstarted journey was now restarted, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

After all, the mining star he had previously reached was already a dangerous place he could not handle. If he went further in, he might enter an even more dangerous area than the mining star.

Yu Hong was already prepared to return at any moment.

He sat cross-legged in front of the window, cultivating while remaining vigilant about the outside situation.

Time slowly passed.

Not long after, the Black Black Spirit suddenly trembled slightly.

It seemed to have plunged into a turbulent flow of strong compressive forces.

The walls began to emit subtle cracking sounds from the impacts, and the entire safety house started to shake slightly.

After about ten minutes, the shaking completely stopped.

Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, momentarily letting go of his anxiety, and resumed his cultivation.

Until more than an hour later.

The colorful threads outside gradually began to dim, and the Black Black Spirit suddenly jolted.

Bang!!

The entire ship seemed to have broken through something. The colorful threads outside instantly turned into a dark black.

Yu Hong quickly got up and walked to the window to look outside.

He saw that it was pitch black outside, with the colorful thread entrance of the Wind Disaster like a colorful cave rapidly receding, becoming smaller, and turning into a blurry light spot.

“Have I left the Wind Disaster? Where am I now?”

He kept checking outside through the glass, but the surroundings were all pitch black, with no light at all.

Soon, more than twenty minutes had passed according to the wall clock.

Finally.

A loud bang rang out.

The entire safety house seemed to have hit something and came to a sudden stop.

The house shook violently a few times and then completely stood still.

Yu Hong stood by the window, looking at the pitch-black, lightless scene outside, his eyebrows furrowed.

“What is going on here?”

He circulated his True Yuan within his heart, pushing his eyesight to the maximum.

Soon, a blurry scene finally appeared in his vision.

Outside the window was a pitch-black, rugged terrain.

The ground was pitted as if it had been bombed by shells, with no flat places at all.

In the distance, at the horizon, some continuous black mountain ranges vaguely appeared, among which stood a hemispherical dark-golden building, motionless and silent.

‘This should be deeper into the Source Disaster than the mining star, but I don’t know which part of the Source Disaster I am in now. I clearly left the Wind Disaster earlier.’

Yu Hong estimated in his heart.

The purpose of this trip was mainly to continue exploring the land of vitality using the Savior Ship, while also seeking power to temper his Golden Core.

‘Theoretically, the stronger the power found, the faster the speed of tempering the Golden Core. Good luck to me.’

After confirming that the Black Black Spirit had stopped moving, Yu Hong knew this was where the Savior Ship temporarily halted. He took a deep breath and, with a thought, summoned it through the glass window.

Hiss!

The next second, the form of the Cai Jing Taoist rapidly condensed and stood on the black ground outside.

‘No air, extremely low temperature, about minus two hundred degrees Celsius.’

Yu Hong frowned;at this temperature, the activities of the Cai Jing Taoist were somewhat difficult.

The meaning of low temperature, in essence, is the intensity of particle movement;minus two hundred seventy-three degrees is the temperature where all particles stop moving completely.

And the current external temperature was already close to that.

This made the Cai Jing Taoist’s body emit a faint colorful glow, each movement requiring him to resist the super-low temperature load that stifled particle movement.

This made the energy consumption of the Cai Jing Taoist unusually high.

‘The True Yuan infused during a single summon should last around two hours….’ Yu Hong estimated the consumption speed of the True Yuan within the Cai Jing Taoist’s body and had a rough idea.

On the dark ground outside, the colorful light from the head of the Cai Jing Taoist became the only light source, illuminating a circular area of about a dozen meters around.

Yu controlled it to swiftly approach the hemispherical building.

At the same time, he also controlled the safety house to move closer, to avoid the consumption increase due to the distance.

As the distance gradually shortened.

Yu Hong vaguely seemed to hear a faint sound.

“What is that sound?” He frowned and stopped moving, eliminating all noise, listening quietly.

The sound was faint, intermittent, as if a woman was softly singing opera in an empty theater.

The voice was melodious, rising and falling, with a certain unknown orderly rhythm.

Thump thump thump!

Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking sound.

In such a silent and dark place, Yu Hong was clearly sensing everything around, but did not notice anyone approaching outside.

Yet, the knocking sound came so suddenly.
