Chapter 1 After Learning the Secrets

After learning about the mysterious land from Tiano, Xu Jingming felt more at ease and valued this opportunity even more. Being able to join a regional-level force or one of the seventeen top forces would not only provide him with better cultivation opportunities but also allow him to help his weak home civilization through these powerful forces.

"I must seize this opportunity," Xu Jingming said to himself.

Blue Star.

A small cosmic spaceship rapidly descended from above the clouds, silently entering the depths of the sea.

Inside the spaceship, Xu Jingming and Director Zhou stood in the hall, clearly observing the scenery of the deep sea.

"The gravity chamber and artificial sun are both located in a base deep in the seabed," Director Zhou said. "Currently, only you, Jingming, need to use the gravity chamber and artificial sun on Blue Star. So, you can take the spaceship directly here at any time." Xu Jingming nodded.

This cosmic spaceship was also a gift from the Blue Star civilization. Of course, this X3-level cosmic spaceship was only suitable for traveling within the solar system. It would take nearly an hour to reach Mars. If they wanted to go to other stars, the entire spaceship would be scrapped before they arrived.

As a small cosmic spaceship for traveling within the solar system, its value of 80 million cosmic coins was still very cheap.

Those cosmic spaceships that could cross star systems were incredibly expensive, and Xu Jingming's savings were not enough to buy them. "Whoosh!"

In a deep canyon at the bottom of the sea, dark and unpredictable, when the small cosmic spaceship reached the very bottom, the deepest rock layer directly split open, revealing an underground passage. The cosmic spaceship flew into the passage and entered this seabed base.

The entire seabed base was built for the two luxurious evolution facilities: the gravity chamber and the artificial sun.

"This is the gravity chamber."

Director Zhou led Xu Jingming to a huge building.

The entire building was over a hundred meters high, with a silver-gray luster.

"It's Xu Jingming."

"After so many years, someone can finally truly use the gravity chamber." The base staff in the distance said in low voices, all very excited. They were responsible for maintaining the entire base. But for many years, Blue Star didn't even have a seventh-order Starry Sky lifeform. Absorbing some sunlight was enough for cultivation, so there was no need to use the gravity chamber or artificial sun.

"Xu Jingming, I'm your fan," a female staff member shouted excitedly.

Xu Jingming smiled and nodded slightly.

As the champion of the first World Tournament in Blue Star's virtual world, and as the global number one on the fifth and sixth levels of the Starry Sky Ranking, Xu Jingming was definitely considered the number one superstar on Blue Star, with countless fans. "Mr. Xu, if you have any requests, please feel free to tell us." The three heads of the seabed base greeted him warmly outside the gravity chamber.

"Thank you all," Xu Jingming nodded.

As the gravity chamber door opened, Xu Jingming walked in alone. No one else dared to follow.

After all, if the gravity multiplier soared, they would be courting death.

Xu Jingming stood in the gravity chamber, looking up to observe it.

"Hello, Xu Jingming. According to the monitoring of your body, your gravity limit is 8000 times! It is recommended that you use a gravity multiplier of 600 times when practicing the Heavenly Python Evolution Method," a voice echoed in the gravity chamber.

"First, adjust it to 5000 times gravity," Xu Jingming said. Within the safe range, the gravity chamber naturally would not refuse Xu Jingming's command and naturally began to adjust.

Soaring. Along with the operation of energy, the gravity multiplier of the gravity chamber rapidly.

"Adjustment complete. The gravity in the gravity chamber is now 5000 times that of Blue Star. Your gravity has also reached 500 times its original value," the voice echoed, but Xu Jingming felt this strong stimulation.

"Whoa."

Xu Jingming felt his whole body tingling, every cell being stimulated.

This gravity was too terrifying.

After reaching the middle stage of Starry Sky lifeform, he could walk without leaving a trace on the snow, but his actual weight exceeded 1 ton! After reaching five thousand times gravity, his physical body weight exceeded five thousand tons. Cosmic energy flowed in every cell, alleviating the pressure brought by the terrifying gravity.

"Under such gravity, cultivating the evolution method will stimulate more deeply, and efficiency will also soar." Xu Jingming tried it out before saying, "Increase to 6000 times gravity." 5000 times, 6000 times, 7000 times, 8000 times, Xu Jingming tried them all.

8000 times was almost the limit. Xu Jingming himself estimated that he should be able to withstand 8100 times, but that state was too dangerous! In the end, he reduced it to 5600 times gravity, and Xu Jingming seriously practiced the Heavenly Python Evolution Method.

After practicing in the gravity chamber for half an hour, Xu Jingming was exhausted, covered in sweat, and his face was a little pale.

When he walked out of the gravity chamber, he felt how friendly Blue Star's normal gravity was.

Walking out of the gravity chamber, the cosmic energy in Xu Jingming's body quickly restored his physical body, and his state was constantly improving.

"How do you feel?" Director Zhou asked.

"Cultivating in the gravity chamber is indeed different," Xu Jingming said with emotion, "Let's go to the artificial sun and take a look."

Soon, Xu Jingming came to the artificial sun building. In the huge building, a black sphere with a diameter of 34 centimeters floated in the air.

"Starting from r1, gradually increase the energy level of the artificial sun," Xu Jingming took off his coat and sat cross-legged in the center position. Buzz!

The energy ran, and the black sphere immediately began to turn into a hot and dazzling light that was invisible to the naked eye. Terrifying rays of light shot in all directions! After refraction of the light inside the entire building, it finally converged on the position where Xu Jingming was sitting cross-legged.

All the light converged on his body.

"Whoa," Xu Jingming only felt that his hungry body was frantically devouring, "Since reaching the middle stage of Starry Sky lifeform, I have never absorbed so happily."

The energy level of the artificial sun was still slowly increasing.

Xu Jingming felt more and more comfortable, but gradually, he began to feel that these lights were too hot! The surface of his body began to be burned black.

"Reminder: Xu Jingming, your body has already begun to be damaged and is no longer suitable for increasing the artificial sun's energy level." An intelligent voice echoed in the building, "According to calculations, the most suitable energy level for you is r27."

"Reduce to r27," Xu Jingming said, and the energy erupted by the artificial sun obviously began to decrease. After decreasing for a while, it maintained that intensity.

Xu Jingming's body absorbed it to its heart's content. After absorbing for about 20 minutes, he felt that his body was already 'full'.

"Stop," Xu Jingming said, and at the same time stood up.

Buzz!

The light of the artificial sun quickly decreased, returning to its original black sphere.

"First, use the gravity chamber to cultivate the evolution method in a deep way. Then, use the artificial sun to maximize the supply of energy to the body." Xu Jingming was very excited, "My body's evolution speed is dozens of times faster than usual."

******

In the virtual world, one can easily raise the body to the extreme that the Evolution Method can reach with a light tap.

In reality, one has to improve step by step. Wanting to catch up with the progress of the virtual world isn't easy.

"The gravity chamber and the r0 artificial sun are enough to use before reaching the eighth order," Xu Jingming also seized the time to improve himself as much as possible before the journey to the mysterious land began. In a blink of an eye, it was already late at night on April 20th.

In the bedroom.

His daughter Xu Lixing was lying across the bed. Such a small girl was occupying more than half of the bed. Zheng Yuming was leaning against the side.

"Miaomiao," Xu Jingming sat on the side, "This time entering the mysterious land is very important. I may be offline for a long time."

"Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry," Li Miaomiao said. Usually, the couple's chat made Li Miaomiao very clear that her husband had been working hard to become a Cosmic Citizen for this opportunity in the mysterious land.

Xu Jingming nodded: "If there is an emergency, you can contact me through the virtual world. The Blue Star virtual host will also transmit the message."

Li Miaomiao used a virtual helmet and was in the Blue Star virtual world! In theory, she could not connect to the virtual world network. Even if she transmitted a message, it would have to be transferred by the Blue Star virtual host.

Xu Jingming could enter the Blue Star virtual world at any time.

He chatted with his wife for a while and watched his daughter Xu Lixing sleep soundly. Xu Jingming gently pinched his daughter's fleshy little face before leaving the bedroom.

Li Miaomiao watched Xu Jingming enter the virtual room, and the virtual room door also closed.

"I hope Jingming everything goes well," Li Miaomiao said silently. As her husband became more and more outstanding, he bore more and more responsibilities.

Virtual World Network.

Xu Jingming tapped lightly and entered the Blood Rain World.

As soon as he entered the Blood Rain World, he arrived directly in the spaceship that went to the mysterious land! It was also the place where he went offline last time.

"Seven days have passed, and my Evolution Method has also reached the high realm of Starry Sky lifeform. My insights in all aspects have also improved a little. Everything is ready," Xu Jingming appeared in the corner of the spaceship hall.

At this moment, in the spaceship hall, many Cosmic Citizens from various star alliances in the Hunter Cosmic Sector gathered.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!! People were constantly logging in. Xu Jingming leaned against the wall, waiting patiently.

"All Cosmic Citizens of the Hunter Cosmic Sector," A phantom figure appeared in the high sky, looking at the densely packed tens of thousands of people below, "Each of you has sacrificed 10,000 gold, so you have the opportunity to be transported to the mysterious land. This is also your only opportunity in your life to explore the mysterious land."

"Now the time has come, the journey to the mysterious land officially begins," the phantom figure said.

Through the window of the ship's wall in the distance, Xu Jingming noticed that the spaceship had taken off! It was rapidly moving away from the earth, and the scene began to blur and distort.

Whoosh!

When the scene outside the ship became clear, through the window of the ship's wall, he could vaguely see a broken star in the distance. Looking at this star from a distance, it seemed to have been split by a knife, leaving it incomplete.

The spaceship was very fast and soon arrived above the broken star and began to descend.

This star seemed to have experienced an interstellar war and was bombarded to ruins. "Xu Jingming overlooked from the sky through the transparent ship wall, and could see a high mountain being bombarded into ruins, and there were many large craters on the ground.

Those large craters were extremely conspicuous in the sky, and it was estimated that they were at least hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

"Everyone prepares to leave the spaceship," the phantom figure ordered. After the cosmic spaceship stopped steadily, the huge main hatch opened, and Xu Jingming and other tens of thousands of Cosmic Citizens walked out together.

"Newcomers are here…"

"Another batch."

On this broken planet, some people were also watching the arrival of this group of newcomers from afar.

Xu Jingming and the tens of thousands of people gathered together, and they also noticed that there were other people in the distance.

"Every 110 days, a batch of Cosmic Citizens will arrive at the mysterious land," the phantom figure appeared in the high sky, "The humans you see in the distance are the previous batch that arrived. They could not pass the test of the first planet, so they can only be trapped on the first planet."

Xu Jingming listened.

He knew from Tiano that everyone could stay in the mysterious land for up to 330 days, in batches every 110 days! That is, roughly three batches of 'Cosmic Citizens' can be in the mysterious land at the same time.

"Unable to pass the test of even the first planet, and can only look for opportunities on this planet," Xu Jingming sighed inwardly.

"A new batch is here."

"A total of 58,920 people."

In the mysterious land, there also existed a hidden observation space. The observation space was divided into upper and lower layers.

The upper layer belonged to the seventeen top forces of human civilization in the universe.

The lower layer belonged to the 352 forces in the Hunter Cosmic Sector. Each force did not interfere with each other and was observing and collecting information from these Cosmic Citizen explorers.

"Out of these 58,920 people, I wonder how many can reach the seventh planet." In the upper layer of the observation space, the observers of the seventeen top forces were very leisurely. The observation system would automatically monitor everything. Only Cosmic Citizen geniuses who reached the seventh planet were worth their careful study.
