Chapter 961: Yuanhu Earth Star

“As one of the strongest Spirit Worlds, the Spirit Abundance World didn’t place too many restrictions on those who can enter their world through the spatial tunnel established in Star Origin City. They’re probably extremely confident in their strength...” Huang Yu explained.

It had barely been 4 hours since they arrived at the Star Relay when there were a dozen or so experts who wanted to head over to the Spirit Abundance World. Also, every single one of them had a cultivation realm in the Martial Extermination Realm or higher.

“The limit of each transfer is 36 people, but usually, they would initiate the transfer when more than 10 people have gathered.” Huang Yu explained at the side.

The Star Origin Guards responsible for the transfer have also made adequate preparations and collected the fees from everyone. An expert in the Martial Dipper Realm would pay a high-grade essence crystal while those in the Martial Extermination Realm only needed to pay 10 mid-grade essence crystals.

The difference in cultivation level would cause a different impact on the spatial tunnel and the higher one’s cultivation level was, the greater the burden on the tunnel. As such, the stronger one was, the higher the price of the transfer.

Huang Yu seemed to be pouting to himself after handing over 2 high-grade essence crystals.

Even if they were Martial Dipper Realm experts, high-grade essence crystals weren’t things they could get their hands on easily. Shang Xia, who came to the Land of Star Origin for the first time, was only given 20 high-grade essence crystals by Kou Chongxue! One could imagine how precious they were!

Of course... Shang Xia actually had quite a lot of low to mid-grade essence crystals on him.

“Is the other end of the spatial tunnel connected directly to the Spirit Abundance World?” Shang Xia couldn’t help but ask.

Huang Yu shook his head slowly. “Nope. The other end of the tunnel is connected to a different planet that relies on the Spirit Abundance World. The planet is connected directly to the Spirit Abundance World and many powers use it as a trading hub. It’s always bustling with activity...”

“Planet that’s reliant on the Spirit Abundance World?” Shang Xia gasped. “Did the Spirit Abundance World already subdue many powers?”

“Of course they did. The Spirit Abundance World didn’t kill and exterminate every single world they came across. Those who agree to submit to the Spirit Abundance World wouldn’t be taken under the banner. The Spirit Abundance World naturally wouldn’t be able to take them all in, but they would be able to settle them down on a suitable planet or other massive land masses around the Spirit Abundance World to serve as an outer perimeter of defenses...” Huang Yu paused for a moment before resuming his explanation with profound meaning. “The Spirit Abundance World’s history stretches back thousands of years! The relationship between powers within the Spirit Abundance World and those outside is extremely complicated. I’m afraid that even within powers, there are so many levels of connections that it would be impossible to completely get rid of any link with other factions...”

“As such, the Spirit Abundance World we’re talking about isn’t a simple world of its own. We have to mention the countless planets, land masses, and Barbaric Worlds that they have taken over that surround them... They’re a massive ecosystem that is built on collective strength and benefits.” Huang Yu eventually concluded.

By the time he was done, the spatial tunnel was activated and the experts waiting in the Star Relay stepped into it without hesitation.

Shang Xia might have experienced several spatial transfers in his life, but it was a fresh experience every time! He would be amazed by how the twinkling stars in the distance turned into a long streak of light that extended endlessly as he flew through space.

Fortunately, his cultivation base increased significantly from the time he went to the Azure Flame World. Even though the spatial transfer takes a long time, it wouldn’t be able to affect him much.

From the time taken for the transfer, Shang Xia could determine the distance between the Star Origin City and the Spirit Abundance World. It seemed a little further than the distance between the Spirit Luxuriant World and the Azure Flame World!

After a familiar vortex engulfed them, everyone emerged from the void. Most of the experts in the Martial Dipper Realm were able to stabilize themselves immediately and some stumbled slightly. Those who were a little weaker staggered and fell to the ground below. As for those in the Martial Extermination Realm, some of them started to puke as they cut an extremely sorry figure.

As soon as Shang Xia found his footing, he could feel a faint sense of rejection from the world. It was as though it wanted to separate him from his surroundings. However, the feeling wasn’t too strong at the moment.

When he started to examine his surroundings warily, he heard Huang Yu’s voice ringing in his mind. “Can you relax? Don’t let them sense your unease.”

Shang Xia quickly turned to look in his direction only to be met with a wide smile. Huang Yu added, “This is called the Yuanhu Earth Star. It’s the gateway between the Spirit Abundance World and the Star Origin City.”

The place they appeared when they emerged from the spatial tunnel was a platform that was carved out on a cliff. As Huang Yu introduced Shang Xia to the area, the others had already started to walk off the platform.

Huang Yu signaled for Shang Xia to do the same as he started to make his way out.

Seeing as no one noticed them, Shang Xia heaved a sigh of relief. He tried to soothe the feeling of rejection from the world before asking in a low voice, “From what you’re saying... There seem to be multiple spatial tunnels connecting the Spirit Abundance World to other places?”

Huang Yu muttered in a strange tone, “Of course. The Spirit Abundance World has a history that stretches back thousands of years. They climbed to their current state from a small and weak world. No one knows how many expeditions they carried out and they definitely possess spatial connections to other places.”

Shang Xia was greatly taken aback. However, he had to admit what Huang Yu said made sense. If the Spirit Abundance World was able to reach its current state by growing silently in isolation, that would truly be an astounding fact.

Unlike the Spirit Abundance World, the growth of the Spirit Luxuriant World seemed even more extraordinary. It was also the reason why True Immortals of other worlds didn’t quite believe what they were seeing.

For an isolated Azure World to be able to resist the Spirit Abundance World’s invasion twice while pushing themselves into the level of a Spirit World... It was a frightening achievement!

After leaving the platform, Shang Xia followed Huang Yu and discovered that the Yuanhu Earth Star seemed even more bustling than Star Origin City.

“In the 3 days you’ve been in Star Origin City, you haven’t been anywhere other than the central regions of the city where the Starry Avenue is. Cultivators who can enter Starry Avenue would rarely be weaker than the Martial Extermination Realm. Moreover, even if you saw anyone with low cultivation level there, they would probably be staff members of the various businesses or mere attendants. The Star Origin City is much more lively outside. Not to mention the fact that there are countless hidden factions residing there.” Huang Yu explained as he managed to sense what Shang Xia was thinking.

When Shang Xia was about to say something else, he discovered several gazes landing on him.

A frown appeared on his face and he sent a voice transmission to Huang Yu. “They seem to have their eyes on us.”

Huang Yu’s expression didn’t so much as fluctuate as he mumbled, “Since the Spirit Abundance World has the ability to open up the Yuanhu Earth Star as a trading hub, they’re naturally confident of keeping their control over the entire region. There are countless experts arriving every day and this place is filled with crooks and honest businessmen alike. However, your cultivation level is just too high. For a foreign expert like you who appears in the Yuanhu Earth Star for the first time, you will definitely attract some attention.”

From Huang Yu’s reaction, Shang Xia could tell that he was confident in dealing with any trouble that might come their way. As such, he continued to ask, “What do we do now?”

Huang Yu didn’t respond immediately, but Shang Xia noticed him gently flicking his sleeves. He could feel a strange pulse emerging. As soon as it did, more than half the attention he was getting disappeared.

“You... This...” Shang Xia stared at his sleeves and made some guesses of his own.

“They’re nothing but pieces of trash. No matter what, I’m True Immortal Lou Yi’s trusted subordinate for many years. Isn’t it normal for me to have a treasure or two from the Emptiness Drifting Mountain?” Huang Yu chuckled.

The Emptiness Drifting Mountain was one of the 9 great powers of the Spirit Abundance World. They were a powerful force that could direct the actions of the Spirit Abundance World! Anyone with a treasure that signified them as an expert of the Emptiness Drifting Mountain was bound to possess great authority! A good portion of people keeping an eye on Shang Xia no longer paid attention to him.

As they made their way down the street, no other accidents happened. With Huang Yu leading the way, they started to walk in the direction of a Star Port in the distance.

Leaving the populated area around the platform, Shang Xia discovered that the feeling of rejection from the world grew stronger and stronger. He couldn’t help but ask, “How far are we from the Spirit Abundance World? How strong is the rejection of the World’s Will affecting you?”

Huang Yu didn’t couldn’t help but stop suddenly to stare at Shang Xia in shock. “I might be feeling a sense of rejection from the world, but it’s not an intense feeling at all. Moreover, I got used to it a long time ago. Wait... Are you feeling it really strongly? Has it started to affect your cultivation?”

Shang Xia shook his head and muttered, “My cultivation level hasn’t been affected, but my combat abilities definitely seem to have weakened slightly. Moreover, I feel a little disconnected from the space around me.”

Huang Yu didn’t know what was going on and he could only throw out several guesses. “Could it be because of your abnormally high cultivation level and sensitive divine will?”

Shaking his head again, Shang Xia indicated that he had no idea what was going on. Whatever it was, they had to act a lot more cautiously.

When they finally arrived at the Star Port of the Yuanhu Earth Star, Shang Xia saw several flying ships docked by the side. There were also ships drifting about in all directions in the distance.

Paying some essence crystals, Huang Yu brought Shang Xia onto one of the Star Ships nearby.

Before they could settle down, Huang Yu already started chatting with the cultivators who were already on board. “There seem to be a lot less Star Ships here than before. There aren’t many entering and leaving the Yuanhu Earth Star Port either... Did something happen?” Huang Yu asked with a look of confusion on his face.
