High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Yuan was in high spirits at Chen Tianling's return.

The weight on my heart has finally been lifted.

Everyone sat around the main control cabin, the atmosphere even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

The shadowy creature swung its tail and came closer, its small eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Boss, now that Tianling is back, shouldn't we go back to the Yunlan Star Region and take revenge?"

It got more and more excited as it talked, its tail swishing like a windmill.

"Those guys chased after us and beat us up back then; I can't swallow that insult!"

Chen Yi and the other ten people also looked at Chen Yuan, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Although they are not as warlike as the Shadows, being hunted down is certainly not a pleasant experience.

Chen Yuan's lips twitched upon hearing this.

Revenge? Go back and kill them now?

He shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless.

"What revenge are we talking about? With our current strength, going back now would only give them more opportunities to take revenge."

Youying paused for a moment, then blinked her small eyes.

"Boss, didn't you slay four Earth Immortals? We've become stronger again..."

Chen Yuan raised his hand and patted it on the head.

"You got cocky after killing four Earth Immortals? The Cloud Ripple Immortal Realm governs over a thousand medium-sized planes, and Earth Immortals are just mid-level combat power."

"Above them are celestial beings, and above those are celestial kings? And above those celestial kings are even more terrifying beings? I don't need to say more, do I?"

"What's the difference between us going back now and sending ourselves to our deaths?"

The shadowy figure shrank back as it was slapped, and the fighting spirit in its small eyes diminished considerably.

Chen Tianling nodded beside him.

"The boss is right, the waters of the Yunlan Star Region are much deeper than we imagined."

"An existence capable of ruling over thousands of planes possesses unfathomable depths of power."

Chen Yi also said in a deep voice.

"My subordinates also believe that it is not a safe bet to fight back now."

"Back then, True Lord Xuanchen only investigated briefly before giving up, which shows that he didn't take us seriously at all."

"If we provoke someone even more powerful... we won't be as lucky as we are this time."

The shadowy figure completely wilted, lying in a corner muttering to itself.

"So you're not going to take revenge?"

Chen Yuan glanced at it.

"Of course we must avenge our grievances, but not now."

His voice was calm, but his eyes were serious.

"Being chased and not fighting back is not my style, it's just that the time is not right yet."

"Once we've gathered enough strength, you won't even need to tell me; I'll be the first to charge back."

Upon hearing this, Youying's ears perked up again.

"real?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

The shadowy creature flicked its tail and rallied.

"Alright! Once we get stronger, we'll beat that True Monarch Xuanchen to a pulp!"

Everyone laughed.

Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze, leaned back in his chair, and fell into thought.

We definitely can't go back to Earth.

Although Xiao Lan and the guardian Xing Sha are there to protect us, there are no safety issues.

But the system will close as soon as you return, and you won't be able to continue checking in.

Without the support of a system, how long would it take for him to break through to the Supreme Realm through slow cultivation on his own?

Although his speed was definitely much faster than other experts at the same level, how could he, who was used to such rapid speed increases, tolerate it?

And since you've already chosen to venture out into the world, you have to make a name for yourself.

When we return home in glory in the future, that will be truly magnificent.

He shared his thoughts.

"I won't be returning to Earth for now; the system can only be checked in while in space."

"Now that we've come out here, it would be a waste of all the hardship we've endured if we didn't make a name for ourselves before going back."

Chen Tianling was the first to nod.

"The boss is right! We finally made it out, how can we just slink back like this?"

"At least we have to make something of ourselves, so that those people on Earth can see how well we're doing out there."

Chen Er also smiled.

"When we become a legend in the cosmos, our descendants on Earth will probably treat us as legends."

The shadowy creature regained its spirits and wagged its tail as it approached.

"Yes, yes, yes! I want to go back too!"

"Let them see how powerful that void behemoth that only knew how to eat back then is now!"

Everyone chimed in, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Chen Yuan waited until everyone had finished speaking before continuing his story.

"Since I've decided not to go back, and Ling has rejoined the team that day, my idea is to find a safe place to stay for now."

"The system allows us to check in once a month. As long as we have enough time, our strength can keep increasing."

"Once I've saved enough money, whether I go back for revenge or continue to roam the universe, I'll be much freer than I am now."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at everyone.

What do you think?

Chen Tianling pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Boss, this is the safest idea. What we lack most right now is time."

"As long as he keeps signing in, I reckon it won't be long before our boss breaks through to the Supreme Realm, or even the Dominator Realm."

"At that time, we will be confident not only in the Yunlan Starfield, but also in the vast sea of ​​stars."

After thinking it over carefully, Chen Yi also expressed his agreement.

"I also think it's best to play it safe and develop cautiously. We've had a series of battles recently, and although we've gained a lot, we've also caused a lot of trouble."

"Now is a good time to take a moment to reflect and use up all the sign-in rewards."

The other Holy Dragon Guards nodded in agreement.

Although Shadow is warlike, he is not stupid.

"Then let's play it safe! Let's play it safe until we're invincible before we emerge!"

Seeing that no one had any objections, Chen Yuan continued.

"As for where to hide... I think the Azure Empire where I am now is quite suitable."

"At least it's much better than that Yunlan Star Region, which is extremely xenophobic and immediately treated me like an extraterrestrial demon, urging me to fight and kill them."

"By settling down here, at least we won't be chased and attacked for no reason."

Chen Tianling nodded upon hearing this.

"Indeed, when I entered the country from there, the captain of the caravan was startled, but he was fine after learning that I was just buying star maps."

"No one has come forward to accuse me of being a spy and to arrest me."

He paused, then added.

"Of course, the misunderstanding in the Star Luo Federation was purely caused by language barriers. Now that we have the Universal Language, such misunderstandings will not happen again."

The shadow muttered to itself.

"It's not that you can't speak the language, it's that your face looks too fierce."

Everyone laughed.

Chen Yi stopped smiling and began to analyze the situation seriously.

"The boss's choice is wise. I have observed the cultivation system of the Canglan Empire, and they mainly focus on beast taming."

"Their cultivation path is completely different from ours, but they are not prejudiced against cosmic wanderers."

"When I was buying the star map on Bibo Star, Commander Li Cangming was very respectful throughout and even wanted me to stay a few more days."

"This shows that this civilization welcomes powerful outsiders."

Chen Tianling added.

"The same thing happened with the caravan. Although Captain Gu Changkong was intimidated by me, the transaction went smoothly afterward."

He also said that he had been in business for decades and had met many outsiders.

"This shows that the Canglan Empire is indeed quite accepting of wanderers."

Chen Er replied.

"That makes things easier. Although we are unregistered residents, our cultivation levels have all reached the True God level."

"As long as their naturalization requirements are met, obtaining official status shouldn't be difficult."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"I've also considered this. Judging from Chen Yi and Tian Ling's two interactions with the locals, their tolerance for civilization is indeed quite good."

"As long as we haven't offended the Canglan Empire, naturalization shouldn't be a problem."

Shadow flicked its tail and said smugly.

"We definitely haven't offended them! This is our first time here, we wouldn't have had a chance to offend them even if we wanted to!"

"Unless the governor of Bibo Star is so angry because the boss gave us too much money that he comes after us."

Everyone laughed again.

Chen Yuan laughed and cursed.

"You're so good at talking."

He stopped smiling and spoke seriously.

"Then it's settled. We'll take root in the Canglan Empire."

"However, to settle down, the first thing to do is to resolve the issue of being an unregistered resident and become a formal citizen of the Canglan Empire."

Chen Yi recalled the information he had gathered on Bibo Star.

"Boss, I inquired about the regulations in this regard when I was on Bibo Star."

"The conditions for naturalization for outsiders in the Canglan Empire are not harsh; there are three main ones."

"The first requirement is that one's cultivation level must reach the ninth rank, which is equivalent to the Martial Saint realm on our Blue Star. This is not a problem for us at all."

"Secondly, their identity and background must be clean; they cannot be spies of other hostile forces."

"Thirdly, by paying a fee after identity verification, one can officially become a citizen of the Empire and enjoy the Empire's protection and benefits."

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Is my identity and background required to be clean? How is that verified?"

Chen Yi explained.

"I heard it uses a special beast called the 'Heart-Seeking Mirror,' which can reveal the malice in people's hearts."

"As long as there is no hostility towards the Canglan Empire, even if someone has committed crimes in other places before, they can still pass the verification."

"This information was obtained by my subordinate from a port worker, so it should be reliable."

Chen Yuan nodded.

As a power that governs hundreds of star systems, the Canglan Empire certainly doesn't need to worry about what outsiders have done in the past.

They don't care how many people they've killed in other places before, as long as they're not targeting the Canglan Empire.

"Then let's go and get citizenship first."

He stood up.

"Let's see if there's an administrative planet nearby that can process citizenship."

Chen Yi took out the S-level star map he had bought earlier and probed it with his divine sense.

He quickly found his target.

"Boss, the nearest administrative planet to us is called Minglan Star, which is a medium-sized administrative planet on the eastern border of the Canglan Empire."

"Responsible for the administrative affairs of more than a dozen surrounding star systems, including the naturalization of outsiders."

"It's about a few days' flight from us."

Chen Yuan scanned the information on the star map and memorized it.

"Set off."

He urged the Star Sea Divine Ship to fly towards Minglan Star.

Along the way, Chen Yuan extended his divine sense to listen to the communications of passing caravans and spaceships.

The captains of these merchant fleets were chatting about all sorts of things.

Some people complained that the recent flight paths were blocked by space pirates, causing them to take detours and spend several extra days.

Some people boasted that they had made a fortune by reselling a batch of rare ores from the Silverwing Federation.

Some people lamented that the beast taming system in the Canglan Empire was too expensive, with each feeding of spirit beasts costing several thousand star coins.

Some people have also mentioned that the citizenship review process on Minglan Star has become stricter recently, apparently because several spies from the Dark Nether Empire were caught...

Chen Yuan wrote down all this information, piecing together a more complete picture of the Canglan Empire.

A few days later, the Starship arrived near Minglan Star.

Chen Yuan stood in front of the holographic screen, gazing at the planet.

Minglan Star is at least ten times larger than Bibo Star, and is a medium-sized administrative star.

The planet's surface is covered by vast blue oceans, with several continents scattered among them.

Cities are scattered across the mainland, with towering buildings and neon lights that are faintly visible even during the day.

Two enormous space naval ports float at the North and South Poles of the planet, with countless warships coming and going.

There are also three space fortresses in the outer orbit, forming a triangle that surrounds the entire planet in the center.

The fortress decks were filled with dark blue standard warships, all with their cannons pointing outwards in alert.

Chen Yuan scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that there were quite a few troops stationed in these fortresses.

The strongest commander had reached the True God realm, and there were more than a dozen deputy generals at the Martial God level.

It's considered a decent defensive force even within the entire Purple Profound Starfield.

Of course, these armies were no match for him.

However, they weren't there to cause trouble.

He won't cause trouble unless the other party makes a move first.

However, to avoid being mistaken for a sneaky attacker, Chen Yuan voluntarily released some of the shielding on the Star Sea Divine Ship.

A starship hundreds of feet long slowly materialized from the void.

The star patterns on the hull shimmered with a soft halo under the starlight, making the entire starship resemble a perfect work of art.

The Starship continued to approach Minglan Star.

Once it entered the warning range, Minglan Star's defense system immediately detected it.

Inside the command center of the third outer space fortress, an alarm suddenly sounded.

A young monitor stared wide-eyed at the holographic screen.

The screen displayed the scanning data of the Starship, and the numbers were alarmingly high.

His voice even changed tone.

"Sir! An unidentified flying object is approaching! Its grade... its grade is a top-grade eternal treasure!"

The command center fell silent instantly.

All the officers turned to look at the screen at the same time.

The fortress commander was named Meng Jinghong, a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a cultivation level of early True God.

He strode to the monitoring station and stared at the data on the screen.

The more he looked, the more serious his expression became!

A timeless, top-tier flying palace-type treasure.

Treasures of this caliber are extremely rare on Minglan Star and in the surrounding star systems!

Anyone who can ride a starship of this caliber is obviously someone special!

"This is absolutely a great figure of eternal true god level!"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Meng Jinghong's forehead.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then turned sharply to give orders to the communications officer.

"Quickly! Notify Chief Executive Zhou immediately!"

"Proclaim that a great figure of the level of an Eternal True God is arriving on Minglan Star. Lord Zhou, please make immediate preparations to receive him!"

The communications officer quickly went to operate the communication equipment.

Meng Jinghong then gave orders to his adjutant.

"Send someone to try and establish communication with them. Remember, their attitude must be respectful!"

"First, confirm whether the other party is passing by or has come specifically to visit, and find out their purpose for coming."

"If the other party has any needs, report them immediately and make sure they are met!"

The adjutant saluted and strode to the communications station.

He took several deep breaths before sending out the communication request in the calmest possible voice.
