High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Gu Changkong paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Report it. Say that an unidentified True God-level expert bought a star map from the caravan, paid one hundred high-grade spirit crystals and left. He was friendly throughout and caused no loss."

The adjutant immediately went to do it.

Gu Changkong sat back down in the command chair and looked at the pile of spirit crystals on the table.

The complex expression on his face gradually turned into a smile.

"No matter what, this trip was a huge success."

He picked up the teacup to take another sip, only to find that it had already been smashed.

Gu Changkong shook his head and gave orders to the escort ships outside.

"Maintain vigilance and continue moving forward."

The caravan set off again, heading towards the Bloodfang Tribe.

.........

Time flies, and another half month has passed.

Inside the Starship.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged in the main control cabin, feeling the invisible thread binding his soul.

The distance is getting closer and closer.

He was so close that he could clearly sense Chen Tianling's exact location.

It's not far ahead.

"Boss! Are we almost there?"

The shadowy creature swished its tail and came closer, its little eyes full of anticipation.

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Almost there, just ahead."

He stood up and walked to the holographic screen.

On the screen, a dark golden dot was rapidly approaching them.

Chen Er stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"I'm finally going to see Tianling. I wonder how he's been these past few months."

Chen San replied.

"With Tianling's strength, he'll definitely be fine."

Chen Yi nodded as well.

"Maybe his situation is even more exciting than ours."

Chen Yuan didn't speak, but just stared at the light spot on the screen that was getting closer and closer.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

The Starship slowed down and slowly approached the point of light.

.........

In the starry sky ahead.

Chen Tianling also sensed it.

The line binding our souls has never been clearer than it is now.

The boss is right ahead!

He sped up, and the dark golden light drew a dazzling rainbow across the starry sky.

A moment later.

He saw it.

A starship a hundred feet long floated in the starry sky, the star patterns on its hull shimmering slightly.

It is the Shenzhou spacecraft.

The hatch of the starship slowly opened.

Several figures flew out from inside.

The one leading them was Chen Yuan.

Behind them followed Youying, Chen Yi, Chen Er, Chen San...

Eleven Holy Dragon Guards and one Void Beast were all present and accounted for.

When Chen Tianling saw those familiar faces, his eyes welled up slightly.

He sped up, transforming into a streak of dark golden light and flying straight ahead.

He suddenly stopped less than ten meters away from Chen Yuan.

"Boss!"

Chen Tianling's voice was a little hoarse, but he had a bright smile on his face.

Shadow was the first to pounce.

Although it is now much larger, it is still agile.

She crashed directly into Chen Tianling's arms and rubbed her head against his chest.

"Tianling! I missed you so much! Where did you go?!"

Chen Yi and the other ten people also surrounded him, and hurriedly hugged Chen Tianling.

"Tianling! We've finally found you!"

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Chen Tianling was a little out of breath from their hugs, but the smile on his face grew brighter and brighter.

He patted them on the shoulder one by one, a warm feeling welling up inside him.

They're finally back.

We've finally found the boss!

Chen Yuan stepped forward, surprised that the two of them had been thrown so far apart by the shattered void vortex...

Youying and Chen Yi automatically made way for them.

Chen Yuan walked up to Chen Tianling and looked him up and down.

Then he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's good that you're back."

Just four words, nothing more.

But Chen Tianling understood everything contained in those four words.

He grinned.

"Boss, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

.........

The group returned to the Starship.

After finding Chen Tianling, the starship finally stopped and hovered quietly in the starry sky.

Inside the main control cabin, the atmosphere was as lively as during the Chinese New Year.

The shadowy creature circled around Chen Tianling, its tail swishing like a windmill.

"Tianling! Tianling! Tell me quickly, where did you get swept away by that vortex of shattered space?"

Chen Er also came over.

"Yeah, yeah, we got swept up in a sub-plane of the Jade Purity Continent called the Cloud Ripples Starfield, the Cangxuan Realm. What about you?"

Chen Tianling smiled and shook his head.

"I was caught up in Yunyuan Star, which is located on the edge of the Cangming Starfield, and later I passed through a local force called the Xingluo Federation."

"Don't talk about me yet, boss, what about you guys?"

Chen Yuan leaned back in his chair, a smile playing on his lips.

"We were swept up to the Jade Purity Continent in the Cloud Ripple Starfield. That place was hostile to us, and we fought several battles and robbed a lot of good stuff."

Chen Tianling's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Boss, you guys got into a fight too? It's not quiet over there either."

"There is a force called the Star Luo Federation that insists I am a spy and has sent more than a dozen True Gods to hunt me down."

Chen Yi gasped.

"A dozen or so true gods? And you're all alone?"

Chen Tianling nodded.

"Yes, we killed seven, including one late-stage True God."

"They stopped pursuing it after that."

The shadowy figure's small eyes lit up as it listened.

"Wow, Tianling! He single-handedly took down seven True Gods!"

Chen Tianling waved his hand.

"I'm nowhere near as good as the boss. The boss killed four Eternal True Gods and dozens of other True Gods."

He looked at Chen Yuan, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Four Earth Immortals, all killed, including one in the mid-stage of Earth Immortal."

Chen Yuan smiled.

"Didn't you also kill several true gods? And you even got a bounty on your head."

Chen Tianling was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"How did you know, boss?"

"I'm guessing, your face is the kind of face that makes people want to hunt you down."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The shadowy creature wagged its tail beside him, glancing at Chen Yuan and then at Chen Tianling.

"It seems we're both quite capable of causing trouble! One of us killed an eternal god, and the other killed a god."

"From now on, I'm going to be just like you guys, fighting wherever I go!"

Chen Yuan patted it on the head.

"Don't just think about fighting and killing."

Chen Tianling looked at everyone and suddenly sighed with emotion.

"To be honest, these past few months I've been traveling alone through the stars, and although I haven't encountered any major troubles, I always feel like something is missing."

He looked at Chen Yuan with a serious expression.

"I never want to be separated from my boss again, no matter what."

Chen Yuan nodded without saying a word, but his eyes said it all.

.........

After catching up, Chen Tianling suddenly became serious.

"Boss, I have something for you."

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh? What is it?"

Chen Tianling stood up, a thought flashing through his mind.

A dark golden light flew out from his body and hovered in mid-air.

It was a rock the size of a fist.

It is entirely black, with a smooth surface like a polished gemstone.

Countless fine, dark gold lines flowed slowly inside the stone.

Like miniature galaxies swirling within the stone.

As the stone appeared, a powerful, eternal divine force emanated from it.

The divine power was also mixed with a strong fluctuation of the laws of darkness.

The shadowy creature's ears perked up instantly, its small eyes fixed intently on the stone.

Chen and the other ten people also turned their heads at the same time, their eyes falling on the stone.

They could all sense how terrifying the power contained within that stone was.

Chen Tianling handed the stone to Chen Yuan.

"Boss, this is what I found on Yunyuan Star."

"It's a top-grade eternal treasure, but I don't know its exact name."

"But the energy inside should be useful to you, boss."

Chen Yuan took the stone; it was icy cold to the touch.

It was a chill that went straight to the depths of one's soul.

Chen Tianling was right; this item truly is a top-grade treasure!

He activated the divine power within his body, and the chill was instantly dispelled.

Then he activated his Eye of the Void and carefully examined the stone.

The Eye of Penetration can see through all illusions, including the true attributes and hidden abilities of objects.

A moment later.

All the information about the stone surfaced in his mind.

【Dark Abyss Star Core: A supreme eternal treasure. An energy crystal formed naturally from the depths of the universe's dark side over billions of years.】

After absorption, it can greatly enhance cultivation, purify the physical body and soul with eternal divine power, and directly improve the level of understanding of the laws of darkness.

If the user has already achieved a complete understanding of the Laws of Darkness, then they can be pushed to the ultimate realm.

After reading the introduction, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

"Dark Abyss Star Core... greatly enhances cultivation, purifies the physical body, and can also improve comprehension of the Law of Darkness."

He looked at Chen Tianling and nodded approvingly.

"This gift is quite significant."

Chen Tianling grinned.

"I knew you'd like it, boss."

Chen Yuan carefully put away the Dark Abyss Star Core, then looked at Chen Tianling.

Based on the information Chen Tianling just provided.

After the Dark Abyss Star Core crashed onto Yunyuan Star, its internal energy radiation affected the entire planet.

That's what turned the place into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and all the creatures there mutated.

"Your luck isn't much worse than mine."

Chen Yuan smiled and said something, then stood up.

"Perfect timing, the situation in the Purple Profound Star Region is simpler than I expected."
