High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

While the shadowy figure was still leaping around, Chen Tianling had already walked over from the side.

He held a cup of freshly brewed spiritual tea in his hand; the tea was clear and bright, with wisps of white steam rising from it.

"Boss, are we heading straight back to the Jade Light Galaxy?"

Chen Tianling handed the tea to Chen Yuan, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone.

Chen Yuan took the teacup but didn't answer immediately.

He turned to look out the porthole.

In the distant starry sky, dozens of silver-gray Azure Sky Empire warships were slowly approaching the corpses of Black Fiend and Black Flame Dragon.

Several small transport ships had already lowered their tractor beams and begun dragging the massive wreckage into their cabins.

The severed tail of the Black Flame Dragon was still floating nearby, being caught by the two warships using nets and slowly pulled toward the cargo hold.

The soldiers, dressed in silver-gray space armor, moved back and forth in the vacuum, their movements both careful and swift.

Some people even placed sealing chains on the corpses to prevent the remaining dark laws from spreading further.

"The scales of this black flame dragon are quite nice."

Chen Yuan took a sip of tea and muttered to himself.

"However, they are all dark-attribute, which doesn't suit my style, and their rank is too low. Let the Empire study them."

He glanced again at the soldiers who were busy at work.

Each of them moved swiftly, but their faces couldn't hide the excitement of surviving a disaster.

Several soldiers even secretly reached out and touched the huge dark red scales while dragging the dragon's tail, then quickly withdrew their hands and winked at their companions.

Chen Yuan watched this scene and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"We should naturally return to the Jade Light Galaxy."

He turned his gaze from the porthole to Chen Tianling.

"However, we were in a rush on the way here, and we were too busy getting there."

"The mission is complete now, and no one is rushing us."

"On the way back, we should naturally take the time to explore."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianling smiled.

"Yes, boss."

He clasped his hands in a fist salute, his tone carrying a hint of delight.

Chen Yi and the others responded in unison.

"Yes, boss!"

Shadow jumped up from the chair.

"Yay! Let's take our time! I'm going to try all the good things along the way!"

Chen Yuan ignored it and lightly pressed a button on the control panel with his right hand.

A layer of silvery-white light pattern lit up the bow of the Starry Sea Divine Boat.

Followed by.

A circular wormhole silently opened up in the void ahead.

Pale golden spatial ripples flowed around the edge of the wormhole, while its interior was a bottomless azure.

The Starship shuddered slightly and smoothly entered the wormhole.

At the other end of the wormhole was a straight and quiet interstellar route.

Unlike its full-speed sprint on the way here, this time Shenzhou only used less than 30% of its speed, slowly drifting towards the Jade Light Star System.

The stars outside the porthole were no longer stretched into rays of light, but rather embedded one by one on a deep black curtain.

Quiet and soothing.

Chen Yuan leaned back in the soft chair, his left hand resting on the armrest, while his right hand held the spirit tea and sipped it slowly.

The tea aroma is light and delicate, mixed with the warmth emanating from the wood inside the cabin, making one feel relaxed from the very core of their being.

He closed his eyes, a few thoughts swirling in his mind.

"I felt very uncomfortable during that meal with Lan Qingliu."

Chen Yuan was making plans in his mind.

"I was sitting there eating, and he stared at me the whole time, like I was some rare treasure."

"It's much more comfortable to just sit on the boat and quietly enjoy a cup of tea."

He recalled Lan Qingliu's overly enthusiastic tone in the communications.

"What do you mean by 'the best fine wine and delicacies have been prepared on Qingyuan Star'? Judging from that, it's probably going to be a table full of delicacies with a group of officials accompanying you."

"No, absolutely not."

Chen Yuan shifted to a more comfortable position and placed the teacup on the armrest.

As for those credits, just report them as you like.

In any case, given his current cultivation level, the things that the Canglan Empire could offer as rewards to Eternal True Gods are basically useless to him.

Eternal supreme elixir? He'd already tried it, and the effect was just so-so.

Even if the Emperor were truly willing to bestow upon him something of supreme quality, he would not lack it.

Chen Yuan understood perfectly well what was going on in his mind.

What he needs now is time to cultivate in peace and quiet, and wait for the next month's sign-in.

As for the awards from the Imperial Military, I'll just accept them as they come; I don't expect to live off them.

He opened his eyes and took another sip of tea.

The days passed by slowly like this.

The Starship traveler drifted on its interstellar route for three days, bypassing a dense asteroid field along the way, and even managed to witness a meteor shower that lasted for half an hour.

The shadowy figure leaned against the porthole, watching the shooting stars, yawning incessantly.

until the fourth day.

Ahead of the Shenzhou spacecraft, a planet with a completely bluish-green body appeared.

That planet was slightly smaller than Yuhua Star, and its surface was mostly covered by dense forests.

From space, it looks like an emerald soaked in light.

The planet is surrounded by three fine rings of gravel, and groups of flying creatures can be vaguely seen shuttling back and forth between the rings.

Some are entirely golden-red, with wingspans reaching tens of feet.

Some are entirely silvery-white, and they fly in groups across the gaps in the rings, like a flowing sheet of stardust.

Chen Yuan walked to the main porthole and took a few more glances.

"This planet is quite beautiful."

He casually gave a compliment, then tapped the control panel to bring up nearby star map information.

A line of text popped up on the screen.

Emerald Star.

A famous beast-taming planet in the eastern region of the Qingyuan Galaxy.

The planet possesses a complete system for incubating, taming, and training beasts for combat, and supplies high-quality war beasts to the Imperial military and various noble families year-round.

More than 70 percent of the planet's surface is covered by primeval spiritual forests, with crisscrossing spiritual veins and a spiritual energy density approaching that of Yuhua Star.

It is one of the most suitable natural environments for the growth of beast tamers in the nearby star field.

Chen Yuan scrolled down the information and saw another video of the planet's internal environment.

In the video.

Herds of mythical beasts gallop across the vast grasslands.

Some of them had beast tamers sitting on their backs, and they were doing high-difficulty aerial maneuver training.

Some engaged in one-on-one battles in a dedicated combat simulation arena, kicking up clouds of dust.

There are also huge hatching nests, neatly arranged in the valley, each nest containing young animals curled up waiting to hatch.

After reading it, Chen Yuan turned to look at everyone.

"This place is nice."

He projected the information on the screen into a larger size so that everyone could see it.

"Since we're already here, why not take a look around this planet?"

Chen Tianling glanced at the description on the star map.

"Azure Star, the Imperial Beast Taming Training Base."

He nodded.

"Listen to the boss."

Chen Yi and the others nodded in agreement.

"We'll just follow the boss."

Youying was dozing by the porthole when she heard the words "beast taming," and her ears immediately perked up.

It darted to the projection screen in a few steps, its vertical pupils wide open, staring at the image on the screen for several seconds.

Then, its gaze suddenly froze.

The screen is currently showing a demonstration of the unique beasts of the Azure Star.

In the image, a giant beast covered in crimson-gold mane stands at the edge of a volcano.

It is the size of an ox, with strong limbs, and the mane on its back billows in the wind like burning flames.

The hot air he exhaled distorted and warped the air itself.

There was a line of text next to it.

Red Yan bull.

A power-type beast tamer, at the true god level.

The meat is rich in fire-elemental spiritual energy and is said to have an excellent flavor after cooking.

When the Shadow saw the word "flesh quality," its entire body lit up.

"Wow!"

It suddenly turned its head to look at Chen Yuan, its tail swishing like a windmill.

"Boss! Look, look!"

The shadowy creature pointed its claws at the Crimson Flame Bull on the screen, its mouth practically watering.

"There's so much barbecue on this planet! That looks delicious!"

It brought its face close to the screen again, rubbing its nose against the projection.

"Especially that Crimson Flame Bull! It looks like the best-tasting one!"

"Boss, let's go catch one and have a taste!"

Chen Yuan's lips twitched violently after hearing this.

He raised his hand and slapped the shadow on the head.

Are you stupid?

Chen Yuan pointed to the line of description on the screen.

"This planet is specifically for breeding beasts, all of which are used for combat, not for eating."

Youying was taken aback.

It turned its head and glanced at the screen again, confirming the words "Imperial Military Beast Taming Base".

The light in those vertical pupils visibly dimmed.

"what?"

The shadowy figure's tone was full of disappointment.

"That's such a pity."

Its ears drooped, and its tail hung down.

"It looks so delicious, but it's actually used for fighting."

Chen Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to it anymore.

He returned to the control panel and re-selected the communication frequency band for Emerald Star.

"Let's contact the chief executive of this planet first, say hello, and then go down."

He tapped his finger a few times on the communication bracelet, sending a connection request.

Emerald Star.

Inside the Executive Yuan.

A slightly overweight middle-aged man was sitting behind his desk.

He was wearing a dark green official robe with a crane spreading its wings embroidered on the chest.

He had a round face, a broad forehead, and a neatly trimmed short beard on his chin.

A nameplate with a name engraved on it sits on the corner of the table.

Zhou Dechang.

Chief Executive Officer of Emerald Sky Star, with late-stage True God cultivation.

He was looking down at a list of beasts to be released from captivity, his brows furrowed slightly.

Two assistants stood beside him, not daring to utter a sound.

"The number of Crimson Flame Bulls slaughtered this month has decreased by another 20%."

Zhou Dechang tapped the list with his finger.

"The military is pressuring us, you need to think of a solution."

An assistant spoke cautiously.

"Commander, recently several wild Crimson Flame Bulls have gone berserk deep in the Spirit Forest, injuring several breeding cows."

"The hatching rate has been somewhat affected."

Zhou Dechang was about to say something.

Suddenly, the communication bracelet on his wrist lit up.

Zhou Dechang looked down and his expression changed instantly.

A connection request is displayed on the screen.

Sender: Honorary Envoy Chen Yuan.

Zhou Dechang jumped up from his chair, his movement so fast that the chair slid back half a foot.

"Special Envoy Chen?"

He stared wide-eyed and looked at the name on the screen again carefully.

After confirming that he hadn't misread it, Zhou Dechang's breathing became a little heavier.

"Is that the Special Envoy Chen who killed Black Fiend, the leader of the Black Wind Star Bandit Gang, and captured the entire remaining members of the Black Wind Gang a few days ago?"

His voice trembled, half with surprise and half with disbelief.

yesterday evening.

Only then did the Qingyuan Galaxy Governor's Office announce the battle report to the entire galaxy.

As an important planet in the eastern region, Cui Lan Star naturally received the news as well.

After reading the battle report, Zhou Dechang reminisced with his men for quite some time.

This Special Envoy Chen is truly remarkable; he single-handedly eradicated the Black Wind Gang, which had been raging for several months.

This relieved him of the daily anxiety of being robbed by the Black Wind Star Pirates.

I didn't expect that only one day had passed.

The real person actually came to our door?

Zhou Dechang didn't dare to delay. He quickly straightened his collar, took a deep breath, and pressed the call button.

The light screen pops up.

Chen Yuan's figure appeared in the picture.

He wore a white robe and had black hair; his face was young and serene.

Zhou Dechang only needed one glance to determine that the aura emanating from the other party was definitely not that of an ordinary Eternal God.

He quickly bowed and paid his respects.

"Zhou Dechang, Chief Executive of Cuilan Star, greets Special Envoy Chen!"

"I was unaware of your arrival, Your Excellency. Please forgive my failure to greet you properly!"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, his tone casual.

"General Zhou, you're too kind."

"I was passing by Emerald Star and thought I'd stop down and wander around a bit."

"You can arrange it yourself, it doesn't need to be too complicated."

Zhou Dechang nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes! Welcome, Your Excellency!"

He straightened his back, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will arrange it immediately!"

"We will absolutely prepare the most grand welcome ceremony for you!"

"All attractions on Emerald Sky are open to the Special Envoy!"

Upon hearing the phrase "the most solemn welcoming ceremony," Chen Yuan frowned slightly.

He raised his hand and pressed it down.

"No need."

Chen Yuan's tone was calm but left no room for negotiation, and he casually made up an excuse.

"I'm just here for a simple stroll, please don't make it too formal."

"Don't have any honor guards or welcoming processions, and don't notify too many people."

"I prefer peace and quiet."

Zhou Dechang opened his mouth, but swallowed back all the arrangements that followed.

"this......"

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

"Yes! I understand!"

"Keep everything simple, absolutely no extravagance!"

Chen Yuan hummed in agreement.

"Okay, I'll come down right now."

The communication was disconnected.

Zhou Dechang lowered his wrist and took a deep breath.

He turned to look at his two assistants who were still standing there in a daze, and suddenly glared at them.

"What are you waiting for! Come with me to Star Harbor!"

"Special Envoy Chen will be here shortly!"

The two assistants then realized what was happening and hurriedly followed Zhou Dechang outside.

Beyond the Emerald Clouds Star.

The Starship gradually slowed down and descended towards an open plain in the northern hemisphere of the planet.

As you pass through the clouds, you can see vast stretches of sacred forest below through the porthole.

The verdant canopy of trees, like layers of overlapping waves, stretches across half the planet from north to south.

Occasionally, enormous flying beasts would sweep across the canopy, their flapping wings cutting ripples through the sea of ​​trees.

When the Shenzhou landed, the shockwave bent the nearby spiritual herbs over.

Zhou Dechang was already waiting by the landing point with about ten followers.

Behind him was a temporary platform paved with bluestone, with several planetary guards standing around to maintain order.

In the distance, there were many beast tamers and passersby who had come to watch the spectacle, craning their necks to look in this direction.

"Look! Isn't that the Starship?"

"That large, silver-white vehicle must be Special Envoy Chen's official car!"

"I heard that Special Envoy Chen killed Black Fiend just a few days ago, and now he's already here on our Emerald Star?"

"That's what you call a big shot! They never stop anywhere!"

There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd, and many people took out their communication wristbands to secretly record videos.

Chen Yuan put away the Star Sea Divine Ship and descended from mid-air with Chen Tianling, Youying, and the others.

As soon as his toes touched the bluestone platform, Zhou Dechang came to greet him.

He smiled broadly and bowed deeply.

"Your humble servant, Zhou Dechang, respectfully welcomes Special Envoy Chen!"

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"General Zhou, there's no need for such formalities."

He glanced around, his gaze lingering on the beast tamers watching from afar.

"Alright, lead the way."

Zhou Dechang quickly straightened up and stepped aside.

"Please come, Your Excellency!"

For the next half day, Zhou Dechang personally acted as the tour guide.

He led Chen Yuan and his group through the depths of the Spirit Forest.

I visited a wild breeding ground for Crimson Flame Bulls.

The giant, crimson-gold beasts trudged slowly across the grass, occasionally flicking their tails and creating shallow craters in the ground.

The shadowy figure leaned against the fence for a long time, muttering to itself.

"This meat must be very chewy."

"You should sprinkle some chili peppers on it while grilling."

"That thigh should be cooked to medium-rare for the best tenderness."

Chen Yuan's temples throbbed with pain.

Zhou Dechang stood by with a forced smile, pretending not to hear.

Afterwards, Zhou Dechang took them to visit an incubation valley.

Hundreds of beast eggs, each about half a person's height, were neatly arranged in the valley.

Various colored patterns flow across the surface of the eggshell, and occasionally you can see the baby animal inside turning over, causing the eggshell to bulge slightly.

The Shadow wasn't interested in the eggs.

It only glanced at a bright red egg twice as it passed by.

"This egg, if roasted, would probably taste even better than that beef from before."

Chen Yuan slapped it on the back of the head.

"Shut up."

By evening.

Zhou Dechang invited Chen Yuan and his group to the most famous Ling Shan Lou restaurant on Cui Lan Star.

It was a suspended pavilion built on top of a thousand-year-old sacred tree.

The entire pavilion was formed naturally from the tree canopy, with its branches and leaves intertwining to support a flat wooden platform.

Lush green vines hang all around, and when the evening breeze blows, the whole building is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.

The table was covered with local specialties from Cuilanxing.

Roasted spirit beast meat, spirit mushroom soup, emerald leaf cake, and fire rock fruit stuffing.

There's also a pan-fried meat dish made with the tenderloin of the Crimson Flame Bull.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the juice glistens and shimmers on the blade when you slice it.

Chen Yuan picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

The aroma of meat mixed with the sweetness of the herbs spread in my mouth; it was truly delicious.

He ate at a leisurely pace, occasionally chatting with Zhou Dechang about the beast-taming industry on Cuilan Star.

Zhou Dechang was flattered and answered every question, as if he wanted to reveal every detail about the entire planet.

We were full and satisfied.

It had gotten completely dark.

Strings of spirit lamps were lit around the Spiritwood Pavilion, their warm yellow light falling on the green leaves like a layer of scattered gold.

Chen Yuan stood up and stretched his shoulders.

He looked at Zhou Dechang, and with a casual flick of his wrist, two pills appeared in his palm.

The elixir was perfectly round and pale purple.

Fine spiritual patterns flowed across its surface, and a rich, fragrant aroma of elixir silently wafted out.

The spiritual energy in the surrounding air was drawn to the two pills, causing them to glow slightly.

Zhou Dechang's pupils suddenly contracted.

As a late-stage True God cultivator, he was extremely sensitive to the quality of elixirs.

The aura of these two pills is clearly that of a top-grade tenth rank!

"Special Envoy Chen, this..."

Zhou Dechang's lips trembled, and he could barely speak.

Chen Yuan handed the pill to him.

"Take these two top-grade level 10 Spirit Gathering Pills."

He spoke casually, as if he were handing someone a packet of ordinary tea.

"You've been stuck at the late stage of True God for quite a few years now, haven't you?"

"Take one when you are preparing to break through. Ideally, it should increase your chances of reaching the peak of the True God realm by 10% to 20%."

Zhou Dechang was completely stunned.

A top-grade elixir of the tenth rank.

For a cultivator of his level, each one is a treasure that is hard to come by.

He opened his mouth, then subconsciously reached out and took one.

The pill felt slightly warm to the touch, and the spiritual patterns on its surface were still gently pulsating at my fingertips.

"Special Envoy Chen! This is far too precious! I cannot accept it!"

Zhou Dechang hurriedly took the pills back, his voice filled with fear.

Chen Yuan glanced at him, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Take it."

His tone was soft, yet carried an undeniable calmness.

"There is no reason for me to take back what I have given away."

It's just two level-ten quality pills; he still has tens of thousands of them on him.

The main problem is that its rank is too low, which is basically useless to him now that he has reached the Supreme Realm.

It's perfect for tipping; just tip whoever catches your eye.

Zhou Dechang's movements froze.

He looked up at Chen Yuan and saw that there was not a trace of politeness in those dark eyes.

They genuinely don't care.

Zhou Dechang felt a lump in his throat.

A top-grade tenth-rank pill!

For him, it was something more precious than life itself.

In the hands of Special Envoy Chen, it was merely something to be given away casually.

He took a deep breath, held the two pills in his hands, and bowed deeply to Chen Yuan.

"This humble official...thanks very much for Special Envoy Chen's generous gift!"

Zhou Dechang's voice was choked with emotion.

"I will never forget the special envoy's great kindness!"

Chen Yuan waved his hand and turned to walk out of the pavilion.

"Alright, let's go."

With a thought, the Starry Sea Divine Ship reappeared in mid-air.

The silvery-white hull shone like a bright moon in the night.

Chen Yuan led everyone into the air and landed steadily on the Shenzhou.

Zhou Dechang stood by the pavilion, looking up at the flying boat that was slowly taking off.

He was still clutching two pills tightly in his hand.

He lowered his head only after the Starship had completely disappeared into the night sky.

Looking at the two soft purple lights in my palm.

Zhou Dechang let out a deep breath.

"This Special Envoy Chen..."

He murmured softly.

"He performed a great service just a few days ago, and today he generously gives away his wealth."

"No wonder the Empire exceptionally appointed him as an honorary special envoy."

Inside the attic, the attendants and beast tamers who had been watching from afar lingered for a long time.

Some people were envious, some were moved, and some were already planning how to build a relationship with Special Envoy Chen in the future.

Inside the Starship.

Chen Yuan leaned back in the soft chair and picked up the tea that Chen Tianling handed her.

"Take it easy and drink less."

Chen Tianling said with a smile.

"The boss has been very generous this time."

Chen Yuan took a sip of tea, her tone languid.

"Those two pills are just taking up space for me, and with your cultivation levels, they won't be very effective after you take them."

"Giving it to someone who can use it is better than keeping it hidden away."

He glanced at the increasingly smaller Emerald Star outside the porthole.

"Let's go, let's continue back to Yuhua Star."

The Starship streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of silvery light, before disappearing into the vast night.
