Alien Hotel.

Chapter 345: Galloping in Space
The fox is running and galloping across the sky.

The blazing fox fire was like a meteor splitting the sky, leaving a striking blue flame in the sky. The silver-white nine-tailed fox broke through the clouds and continued to accelerate in the thick atmosphere of Taixu Star. The fox's leaping steps were as graceful as a startled swan, and her elegance was accompanied by an extreme wildness that even seemed to transcend the heavens and the earth. With every step she took, she flew a farther distance, until her entire body was wrapped in a thick layer of protective spiritual energy. In addition to the spiritual energy, the plasma flame generated by the intense friction with the atmosphere pierced into the space from the atmosphere like a sharp sword.

At the side of the Sky-Splitting Demonic Fox was a fairy boat that was also rapidly leaving the atmosphere. The fairy boat, as light as a feather, was carrying streams of light. It gradually accelerated as it passed the top of the atmosphere, while continuously emitting streams of spiritual power. It called out to Hu Li and Yu Sheng with the fairy secret method: "The fairy boat in front! Slow down a little! There is a fairy alliance outpost at the top of the atmosphere... Fairy, you are speeding!"

"My benefactor~~ In my hometown, you have to go five times faster than this to be considered speeding~~" Hu Li turned his head slightly while "running" in space, his voice filled with the joy of finally being able to go out and have fun after being cooped up at home for several months, "The speed limit here is really outrageous!"

"I told you to slow down, so slow down!" Yu Sheng rode on the back of the fox. Although there was a protective aura around him and the fox girl used her big tail to shield him, he still subconsciously grabbed the silver-white fur around him and shouted loudly to the nine-tailed fox who was already in a state of frolicking, "Isn't the speed of the first universe enough for you to run?"

"Hey~Okay!" Hu Li then controlled her speed a little, but still playfully rushed over and circled the fairy boat several times, until the latter issued a solemn protest in the space voice transmission. She then honestly returned to her "course" and turned her head to grin at Yu Sheng, "My benefactor, I'm happy~"

"I can see that you are happy." Yu Sheng looked at the space fox who was turning his head and smiling at him, and then his eyes involuntarily fell into the distance.

They had already passed the top of the atmosphere and the last faint glow in the sky above Taixu Star, which was suspected to be the "barrier of the fairyland". The faint light from the sky faded away, and the dark and deep space came towards them.

But this is completely different from the lonely space he felt when he merged with the "Pillar of Order" (now the Alien Hotel).

This was not only because there was a warm and noisy big fox beside him at the moment, but also because the space here was not empty - the "brilliant scenery" centered on Taixu Lingshu, together with the endless starlight, poured into Yu Sheng's eyes.

The glowing horizon of Taixu Star has gradually become a distant background in the field of vision, and soon shrank into a planet as magnificent as a gem. After rapidly crossing the low-Earth orbit, Yu Sheng saw many huge things emitting hazy light balls. Xianzhou led the way in front and took Hu Li across some of the light balls. Yu Sheng saw that they were pavilions floating in space - magnificent towers, long light-cast bridges connecting the palaces, and continuous artificial land. There was even a thick ecological dome on the land. Inside the dome, one could vaguely see the lake and green trees.

These palaces and "space floating islands" of various sizes are floating aimlessly in the universe around the Taixu star, while large and small fairy boats and brilliant light streams shuttle back and forth among them, like a logistics network in space, or business and travel traffic.

Xuan Che's voice traveled across space and reached Yu Sheng's ears directly from the immortal boat: "The several temples and buildings we passed by just now are the airport hubs built by the 'Ten Palaces of Wo Yun'. The Ten Palaces of Wo Yun are the leading weapon refining and city building sect of Taixu Lingshu, and are extremely good at mechanical crafts. The Ten Palaces of Wo Yun is not only the name of their sect, but also refers to their ten floating halls floating in the clouds. It is the earliest permanent floating building complex on Taixu Star...

"Two-thirds of the airport buildings and megastructures on the Taixu Star orbit were built by the Ten Palaces of Woyun.

"Those floating islands with ecological domes are mostly the property of Yaolan Sect or Youming Valley. They split the mountains and split the soil from the two stars of Hanguang and Handing, dragged the mountains containing spiritual minerals to the vicinity of the sun, and refined them with the power of the scorching sun. When the mineral veins are exhausted, they will melt the remaining mountain slag into islands, and then drag them to the orbit of Taixu Lingshu, cover them with ecological domes, and give birth to mountains, forests and lakes to serve as places for settlement. According to what you say in the border area, they are the largest "mineral and real estate developers" on Taixu Star.

"As for the immortal boats you saw traveling between the main hall and the sky island, most of them were made by Hengxu or Qianfeng Lingshan. Although Qianfeng Lingshan is the best in Taixu with its elixirs and talismans, we have also made some achievements in refining equipment. However, the refining equipment we follow focuses more on lightness and agility, which is different from the 'heavy industry school' like the Ten Palaces of Woyun, who can easily build kilometer-long star shuttles and heavy star fortresses."

Yu Sheng listened to Xuan Che's explanation, and looked at the palaces, sky islands and ships in the distance that were flying behind him through the "protective aura" around Hu Li. He had no time to speak.

He felt overwhelmed and amazed by everything he saw and heard.

"...This is really a big family," he couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, when I first saw those special 'floors' in the Secret Service building, I thought they were already impressive enough..."

"Mr. Yu, you are too kind. These 'spectacular sights' such as the Grand Void Spiritual Pivot were not built overnight, but are the result of the hard work of many generations of Taoists. As for the 'grandness'... then you must have not seen the 'big guys' that the Secret Service has hidden away. Speaking of 'grandness', the borderland does not occupy the position of the 'hub of the universe' for nothing."

Yu Sheng didn't say anything for a while, just guessing what the "big guy" hidden by the Secret Service would look like, and imagining what the "Council-controlled areas" that Baili Qing had mentioned to him would be like outside the border. While he was thinking about this, Xianzhou and Hu Li had started to speed up again.

Hu Li's protective aura and some kind of "alien magic" provided protection, and Yu Sheng hardly felt any discomfort from the acceleration. He just felt a slight vibration under his body, and then the orbital facilities near Taixu Lingshu quickly turned into large and small light points in the distance, disappearing in the starlight background. At this moment, he saw something flashing in the distant space from the corner of his eye.

Even with Yu Sheng's current dynamic vision and keen perception that far surpassed that of humans, he could only vaguely make out that it was a gray-white structure of astonishing scale, which vaguely looked like a giant monument standing in space. There were flashing lights around the monument, and many buildings that seemed to have been added later surrounded it.

Due to the lack of reference, Yu Sheng could not judge how big the huge monument that flashed by was, but just by looking at the general shape of the buildings around it, he felt that the size of the "stone monument" was probably beyond imagination.

"What was that just now?!" Yu Sheng asked subconsciously.

Xuan Che's voice soon sounded: "Are you talking about the huge stele that just passed by? That was the Qianyuan Stele."

Yu Sheng was very curious: "Qianyuan Stele? What is that for?"

"……do not know."

"Huh? Don't know?"

"I really don't know," Xuan Che explained. "The Qianyuan Stele is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries of the Taixu Lingshu and even the entire Feiyu Star Region. No one knows where it came from, who built it, and how long it has been standing in this void. Since the reshaping of the world, when the cultivators on Taixu Star stepped out of the earth for the first time, the giant stele has been standing on the high orbit of the Taixu Lingshu."

He paused for a moment, probably organizing his words, before continuing, "Some people speculate that the monument was built by a 'god-man' in ancient times to record the truth of the great Dao when the world was first created. Others speculate that the monument was originally part of an ancient god's tomb. Because of the catastrophe that destroyed everything, the tomb of the god-man collapsed, leaving only the monument drifting on the track. Anyway, there are all kinds of speculations, but none of them can be confirmed.

"The Qianyuan Stele is extremely solid. Its surface is made of an impenetrable alloy. There are even more powerful restrictions inside it. Even the top powerful minds cannot peek into it at will. For thousands of years, many people in Taixu Lingshu have wanted to uncover the secrets of the Qianyuan Stele, but no one has succeeded. Those with good luck have returned empty-handed, and those with bad luck have even died after rashly peeking at it. Over time, no one dared to think about this anymore.

"Later, gradually, this Qianyuan Stele became a 'holy place' near Taixu Lingshu. People said that this huge stele was an 'ancient legacy' left over from the old world. It was a barrier formed by the gods in ancient times to resist the annihilation disaster. Although this barrier ultimately failed to withstand the disaster that caused the overthrow of all worlds, the ancient holy spirits still restored it when they reshaped the world as a tribute... There are all kinds of rumors, but no matter how they are spread, everyone finally agrees on one thing, that is, the 'Qianyuan Stele' is the most precious treasure of Taixu.

"The result is what you see. We built many outposts around this 'space monument' far away from the Great Void Spiritual Hub, turning it into a 'lighthouse' next to the mother planet. To this day, it is still the most important beacon for the immortal ships and star shuttles on their way back to the Great Void Spiritual Hub."

"So that's it..."

Yu Sheng muttered to himself, his mind abuzz with thoughts because of the stories and legends told by Xuan Che. He turned around again, wanting to take another look at the mysterious giant monument floating in the space, but he could no longer see it.

Then, he felt a slight vibration under his body again.

The fox was still running in space, but it was obviously slowing down. Several fox tails were adjusting the angle of the fox fire spray, as if preparing for a change of trajectory.

A ray of silver light appeared at the end of the field of vision.

One of the three moons above Taixu Lingshu, "Taiyou", the largest natural satellite in the area, has arrived.
