Chapter 503: 504: World Teleportation and Suspended Island (Third Update)

Seeing the cold stone that Little Phoenix brought back, Lin Zhen’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Little darling, where did you find it?”

“Chirp chirp~!”

Little Phoenix chirped twice, then flapped its wings and took to the sky.

Lin Zhen also immediately took off and followed Little Phoenix, only to realize that, unbeknownst to him, Little Phoenix’s flying speed had become incredibly fast!

It wasn’t just fast, it was exceptionally fast for Lin Zhen. If it weren’t for his Lightning Wings, he wouldn’t even be able to keep up with Little Phoenix’s speed.

As expected of a flying Galaxy Beast, its speed talent was simply unmatched. Little Phoenix transformed into a fiery red streak of light, heading straight for another small asteroid in the distance.

Lin Zhen followed behind and soon arrived at the surface of this resource-rich planet.

This was also a garbage star, and Little Phoenix landed on a high spot, stomping its little claws on the ground, gesturing for Lin Zhen to dig below.

Lin Zhen immediately brought out five hundred robots and set their digging targets to cold stones.

Soon, exciting news started coming in.

“Master, we have already collected thirty-five cold stones!”

“Master, we’ve already collected one hundred and fifty cold stones!”

“Five hundred… one thousand seven hundred… three thousand nine hundred…”

Lin Zhen couldn’t stop smiling, having no idea that there was such a treasure star here with countless cold stones.

He wasn’t sure how many cold stones the Suspended Island would need, but he believed there would be more than enough.

“Little darling, you’ve accomplished a great thing this time. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want? I promise to get it for you.”

Little Phoenix shook its head and scratched a few lines on the ground with its claws.

Lin Zhen looked down and saw that Little Phoenix’s drawing was actually quite good, depicting the shape of a tree.

Lin Zhen immediately understood that it wanted a Wutong Tree.

“I understand, I will definitely get you a Wutong Tree, don’t worry.”

Little Phoenix glanced at Lin Zhen, flapped its wings and flew to the side, apparently not believing that Lin Zhen could really do it.

“Chris, help me look for a Wutong Tree for sale in the Dimensional Universe. If there is one, let them send it to the Chaotic Star River.”

Chris immediately started searching and after a while replied: “Master, I found a seller. You can contact them.”

Lin Zhen immediately connected with the communication, and the other party’s customer service was very friendly: “Hello, sir, what do you need?”

“I want to buy a Wutong Tree, how much is it per tree?”

“Five hundred Kirin Coins each.”

Lin Zhen nodded. Five hundred high-level cosmic currency per tree wasn’t considered expensive.

“Alright, I’ll take one. Please send it to the Chaotic Star River. The coordinates are…”

“Sir, please wait a moment. Do you really want to send it to the Chaotic Star River?”

“Yes, is there a problem? Don’t you deliver goods to any location?”

“We can deliver, but sir, after all, the Wutong Tree is a living thing, and the distance to the Chaotic Star River is too far. Most living things would die on the journey. Delivery can only be handled personally by a World King because they have their own separate worlds in which they can store living things.”

Lin Zhen said, “Then let the World King deliver it. I don’t mind paying more, just give me a price and I won’t haggle.”

“The problem is, if a World King were to deliver it, they cannot use the Path of Light, nor can they use light-speed spaceships. It would take at least three years for it to be delivered. Are you sure you can wait that long?”

Lin Zhen was at a loss for words, having forgotten that people above the World King level couldn’t enter the Path of Light and had to take a detour instead. Three years was probably the quickest a World King could traverse the endless meteorite belt in the Chaotic Star River. For others, it could take eight to ten years to get through, if at all.

The price didn’t matter, but the waiting time was too long. By then, the battle for the Chaotic Star River might have already ended.

“Huff~!”

Lin Zhen sighed, not wanting to disappoint Little Phoenix and asked hopefully, “Then is there any way for me to get a Wutong Tree here?”

“It’s not entirely impossible. If you can find another World King within the Chaotic Star River, World Kings can use World Teleportation to transfer the Wutong Tree to you.”

“World Teleportation!”

Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment. He knew that World Teleportation was a legend, only usable by those with their own world inside them, which usually meant World Kings.

After completely stabilizing the world within a Martial Artist’s body, the practitioner could use their powerful strength to enter their inner world and teleport to other World Kings’ realms through it.

Lin Zhen had only heard of this before and immediately asked Chris for information about World Teleportation.

“Master, to use the World Teleportation, besides having a world inside your body, you also need to have a Star Power value of over a thousand. Only then can the main body smoothly enter the internal world. This is not a problem for World Kings, but for you…it might be a bit difficult.”

Lin Zhen’s current Star Power is 805. To open his internal world, he needs to increase his Star Power by 150 and reach the value of 1,000.

Constant Star Level Nine should be close to a thousand. To surpass a thousand, it is indeed a bit hard, but Lin Zhen has the Dark Star, so it may not be impossible.

He continued to ask the staff member, “If I find an internal world and we need to send our people to pick it up, and you’re not allowed to come, how much will it cost?”

“You can come and get it, but since it requires the use of World King masters, the cost is higher, it requires a hundred billion Cosmic Crystals!”

“Alright, I got it. I think we’ll be in touch with you again soon.”

Lin Zhen closed the Dimensional Universe system, and Chris said, “Master, using a hundred billion Cosmic Crystals to buy a Wutong Tree is a huge waste.”

“No need to say more, I know what to do.”

In the following half month, Lin Zhen directed the robots to dig out all the Thunder Crystals on the planet, storing all the mined ores in the Dark Star Space.

The Garbage Star was thoroughly abandoned. After Lin Zhen mined the last ore, it broke apart, and the garbage drifted away, gradually attracted by other planets.

The cold stones were also gathered, leaving the Garbage Star empty after collecting two million cold stones.

In order to carry out these two mining operations, Lin Zhen consumed numerous Energy Blocks, and more than half of the robots were destroyed.

But, finally, in half a month, Lin Zhen collected enough Thunder Crystals to advance to Constant Star Level Nine.

The reason he was in such a hurry was that he wanted to go to the Suspended Island.

There are only ten days left before the Suspended Island opens. Even if Lin Zhen leaves now, he will definitely not catch the first wave, but he won’t give up as long as there’s a glimmer of hope.

“Little Phoenix, I’m going to the Suspended Island, do you want to go with me?”

Under Lin Zhen’s care, Little Phoenix had recovered well. Its feathers were shiny, its eyes were lively, and its flying speed was faster than Lin Zhen’s. It was already able to enter the cosmic sky on its own. Lin Zhen wasn’t sure if Little Phoenix would still want to follow him.

Little Phoenix flapped its wings, landed on Lin Zhen’s shoulder, its eyes focused on the front, seemingly prepared to depart.

“Heh~! I knew our little darling wouldn’t want to be away from me, let’s go to Suspended Island together!”

Lin Zhen boarded the spaceship, set off with Little Phoenix, and headed towards Suspended Island.

The Thunder Crystals and cold stones were prepared, so they wouldn’t affect his promotion.

After boarding the spaceship, Lin Zhen looked back at the Garbage Star where he discovered cold stones. The garbage had all been cleaned up, leaving only a small asteroid behind.

“Little Phoenix, if one day I can’t find you, I’ll plant the Wutong Tree on this small planet, and you’ll remember to come back and see it. That tree will cost a hundred billion Cosmic Crystals after all.”

Little Phoenix tilted its head and glanced at Lin Zhen, then turned away. Its attitude was very clear: it thought Lin Zhen was boasting.

The Suspended Island is located in the core area of the Chaotic Star River.

Surrounding the island is a dense meteorite belt that revolves rapidly around the Suspended Island. The dense cosmic storms raging through the area make it impossible to force one’s way through.

Only when the meteorite belt moves to a distant orbit every hundred years, and the density of the meteorite belt is reduced, can one pass through the gaps in the meteorites and enter the Suspended Island.

This meteorite belt’s far-end operation phase happens once every hundred years. During this time, warriors from the Fire Kirin and Demon Insect Empire temporarily cease their conflict and head to Suspended Island.

In addition to the warriors from Fire Kirin and Demon Insect Empire, two other empires on the border of the Chaotic Star River have also sent their masters to the Suspended Island.

They do not engage in war with the Fire Kirin and Demon Insect Empire and come here for the sole purpose of comprehending the ancient Heaven Stele.

With the best fighters from four advanced cosmic nations gathered, the competition is bound to be fierce.

A huge meteorite, like an island with a diameter of a thousand kilometers, floats in the cosmic sky.

Unlike other lifeless meteorites, this one was clearly left behind by the predecessors.

Four giant iron chains, each tens of meters thick, lead directly to the top of the Suspended Island. These iron chains are incredibly strong and cannot be cut by external force.

In the center of the Suspended Island, three immense Heaven Steles stand as if they have been there since the beginning of time.

Stone pillars rising from the ground, surrounding the three Heaven Steles from low to high, are seats for those who comprehend the Heaven Steles.

The stronger and more talented one is, the higher the stone pillar they can climb to be closer to the Heaven Stele and comprehend more.

The Heaven Steles pierce the sky, and above the Sky Dome, a layer of dense black clouds covers the sky.

In the black clouds, golden thunder lingers above the nine heavens, ready to strike.

Anyone daring to run wild on this Suspended Island would be turned to dust by a bolt of golden thunder.
