Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 132 - 128: Mining

Bronze Level Bloodline, reaching Void Level upon adulthood.

Silver Level Bloodline, reaching Black Hole Level upon adulthood.

Gold Level Bloodline, reaching White Hole Level upon adulthood.

Purple Crystal Level Bloodline, reaching Mixed Cosmos Realm upon adulthood.

It seems that the level difference for each bloodline is just one realm, but this realm fully illustrates the strength of a race!

Imagine a cosmic race with a Gold Level Bloodline, where each member reaches White Hole Level upon adulthood. If there are five thousand members, it would be five thousand terrifying forces at White Hole Level!

Of course, Gold Level Bloodlines are extremely rare in the cosmos, and Purple Crystal Level ones are even rarer.

The Demon Blood Grey Wolf Race is the descendant of the Residual Demon. The Residual Demon consumed several star domains and grew to the Mixed Cosmos Realm, with a bloodline reaching Gold Level, but what could be passed to the offspring was only a Silver Level Bloodline.

Mie Cang reached Black Hole Level upon adulthood, many times stronger than ordinary Black Hole Level martial artists, capable of killing a Black Hole Level Star Giant Beast alone. After Wang Xu devoured him, Wang Xu’s bloodline leapt from Black Iron Level to Silver Level.

For Wang Xu’s bloodline level to further advance, it requires devouring a Gold Level Star Giant Beast.

However, throughout the Fallen Dragon Star Domain, there has never been any mention of a lifeform with a Gold Level Bloodline. The chance for Wang Xu to encounter one and devour it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

......

The Bailan traveled through the cosmos for a full three months, while Wang Xu sat cross-legged in the Realm Cultivation Room for three months.

During this time, Wang Xu thoroughly felt the power of the Silver Level Bloodline. The speed at which his body absorbed energy was much faster than when he absorbed Cosmic Crystals, and within a mere two months, Wang Xu rapidly advanced from the Initial Void Level to the Upper Void Level.

Wang Xu’s strength surged once again.

Not only did his realm enhance, but Wang Xu’s secret technique also made significant progress. He had long been unable to break through the Fifth Layer of the "Formless Giant Power". Initially, in the Cyan Yang Hall, the cosmic energy brimming between heaven and earth allowed Wang Xu to progress tirelessly day and night, but after leaving Cyan Yang Hall, "Formless Giant Power" hardly progressed at all.

Now with the powerful absorption ability of the Silver Level Bloodline, Wang Xu immediately began cultivating "Formless Giant Power". It genuinely showed that a strong bloodline is extraordinary. It only took two months for Wang Xu to break through to the Fifth Layer of "Formless Giant Power", achieving perfection in "Formless Giant Power".

Exiting the Realm Cultivation Room, Wang Xu headed to the Central Control Room.

"Celestial Spirit, where are we now?" Wang Xu asked.

"Master, we have arrived at the ’Purple Vein Star Domain’. We are currently in the ’Recording Tomb Star River’ within the Purple Vein Star Domain," Celestial Spirit responded.

After three months of space-time jumping, Wang Xu had crossed the Fallen Dragon Star Domain and arrived at the large star domain "Purple Vein".

Millions of years ago, the Purple Vein Star Domain, like the Fallen Dragon Star Domain, was an ordinary small star domain. However, the discovery of several star ancient ore veins in the Purple Vein Star Domain attracted a large number of cosmic races and cosmic martial artists.

A star ancient ore vein is incredibly valuable, and the successive discovery of several veins presented countless cosmic martial artists with opportunities, making them willing to travel billions of miles to strike it rich.

As more people gathered, the star domain naturally became more prosperous. Capitalizing on this, the Purple Vein Star Domain further exploited several star ancient ore veins, causing its status to soar and attracting numerous cosmic martial artists, even drawing the attention of cosmic countries.

Within just a few million years, the Purple Vein Star Domain’s status advanced from an ordinary small star domain to a large star domain, its flourishing scene unmatched for the time.

The reason Wang Xu came here was precisely to utilize the "Space-Time Teleportation Platform" available here.

When he was on Fallen Dragon Star, Wang Xu had inquired about the Space-Time Teleportation Platform there, intending to use it to traverse star domains and reach the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion. However, the star domains accessible from Fallen Dragon Star were far from the place Wang Xu wanted to go.

As a result, Wang Xu piloted the Bailan and journeyed toward the Purple Vein Star Domain, stopping by several star domains along the way, yet none had the star domain coordinates Wang Xu needed.

"I hope the Purple Vein Star Domain can enable my jump to ’Nether Thunder Star Domain’," Wang Xu thought quietly to himself.

On the Star Map leading to the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, hundreds of small star domains and dozens of large star domains are marked, with four cosmic countries that need to be crossed. From recent days of studying the Star Map, Wang Xu used it as a reference to understand the distribution of Tai Long Cosmic Country, focusing on the Purple Vein Star Domain.

The Purple Vein Star Domain is the closest one to him, and the largest possibility for reaching the Nether Thunder Star Domain.

The Nether Thunder Star Domain is located at the edge of the Tai Long Cosmic Country; once he reaches the Nether Thunder Star Domain, he can cross Tai Long Cosmic Country and reach the adjacent Secret Feather Cosmic Country.

Setting off from Secret Feather Cosmic Country, passing through Mad Combat Cosmic Country, and then onto Zongren Cosmic Country, will lead to Wang Xu’s destination—the Desolate Fire Cosmic Country!

The Desolate Fire Cosmic Country is the origin of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion. When Heaven-Reaching Pavilion was established under the name of Treasure Pavilion on Desolate Fire Cosmic Country, after the rise of Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable, the sovereign of Desolate Fire Cosmic Country entrusted its governance to the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion.

The journey is long and fraught with challenges, but Wang Xu remains determined to gain the protection of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion.

......

Three hours later.

"Master, the Burial Star is right ahead." Wang Xu, who was sitting and cultivating, opened his eyes and saw a massive and prosperous star in the distance, almost identical to the Fallen Dragon Star City.

"As expected of a large star domain, any of its Star River Capitals can rival a small star domain’s Star Domain Capital." Wang Xu sighed. The Burial Star before his eyes was merely a Star River Capital of one Star River, just the tip of the iceberg of the Purple Vein Star Domain, yet it could be compared to the star domain level, showcasing the prosperity of the Purple Vein Star Domain.

The Bailan joined the queue of cosmic battleships, waiting to enter the Burial Star.

Soon, when it was Wang Xu’s turn, a red light barrier scanned over the Bailan.

Two Void Level soldiers in green combat uniforms flew over.

"Identity Card." the soldier said.

Wang Xu handed over his Identity Card, which the soldier scanned with a device, frowning, "From the Fallen Dragon Star Domain?"

"That’s right." Wang Xu’s Identity Card was temporarily made when entering the Fallen Dragon Star, naturally belonging to the Fallen Dragon Star Domain.

"You cannot enter the Burial Star." The soldier returned the Identity Card to Wang Xu, stating.

Wang Xu frowned, "Why?"

"The Domain Master issued a new decree. All outsiders must mine for a year at the Star Ore Vein and hand over ten ’Flame Cold Stones’ to qualify to enter any Star City in the Purple Vein Star Domain," the soldier said solemnly. "If it’s not for entering a Star City, there’s no need to submit Flame Cold Stones."

"Mine for a year?" Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn’t help but be angry.

The Purple Vein Star Domain flaunted its status as a large star domain, imposing such terms—outsiders required to mine for a year and hand over ten Flame Cold Stones—was simply outrageous!

"Hmm?" At this moment, Wang Xu noticed from the other side of the queue, there was also a cosmic battleship from outside. The cosmic soldier responsible for inspection glanced at his Identity Card and directly let him through.

"They are outsiders too; why don’t they need to mine and can directly enter?" Wang Xu asked angrily.

The soldier glanced over and said, "This outsider has already submitted ten Flame Cold Stones and has the qualification to enter any Star City in the Purple Vein Star Domain, unlike you."

"So, please leave the Burial Star." The soldier said coldly.

Wang Xu frowned, with a flame in his heart, but to avoid trouble, he had to suppress it for now, and the Bailan turned back into the cosmos.

Back in the Bailan, Wang Xu was restless. His ultimate destination wasn’t the Burial Star, just a brief stopover after a long space journey, yet he was told that all star cities in the Purple Vein Star Domain required ten Flame Cold Stones as tickets for passage.

In this way, wouldn’t he have to waste a whole year mining?

"Celestial Spirit, how many planets nearby have Star Ore Veins?" Wang Xu asked. Ten Flame Cold Stones weren’t particularly rare Star Ores, but for Wang Xu now, they were incredibly precious.

Wang Xu wanted to buy ten Flame Cold Stones directly; he had 1.7 million Cosmic Crystals, so this expenditure was nothing to him.

But aside from Star Cities, ordinary stars didn’t have Heaven-Reaching Pavilion branches, not even guilds selling ores.

"Master, there are three." Celestial Spirit replied.

"Go to the nearest one."

Subsequently, the Bailan once again performed a space-time jump, coming directly to a star covered in rugged rocks.

A long cosmic fleet stretched on endlessly, more than the fleet entering the Burial Star.

Wang Xu shook his head, as entering a Star City required submitting Flame Cold Stones, so they all had to choose to compromise.

"You are number 152648685, here’s your shovel, you’re free to choose any location to mine, but remember, no matter what you mine, you must submit it. Once hidden is found, immediate execution." The person in charge was a stone man with rocky skin, a voice echoing thunderously, "Your mining time is one year, and whatever you mine in this year, you’ll receive 5% of it when you leave. Of course, if you want to leave early, you just need to submit three ’Bright Demon Stones’. "

"Go now, next one."

Wang Xu left the crowd with a mechanical shovel in hand, shaking his head. This was outright exploitation; mining for a year and only permitted to take away 5% of what was mined, with the remaining 95% belonging to them—what difference was this from free labor?

Under the eaves, one has to lower their head. Wang Xu could only resign himself to fate, his body soaring into the air, searching for the Flame Cold Stone veins on this star filled with Star Ore Veins.
