2515 Planet Sattel in the Coste Galaxy!
Tang Zhong Yi was not the only one who looked disappointed. Even the Sect Leader of Tang Sect, Tang Chong, seemed disappointed.
After both of them had witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength that rivaled a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, they felt emotional when they recalled Tang Xiao Xiao had said that he was her man. This meant the Tang Sect had a powerhouse whose strength was equivalent to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! In their opinion, it should not be of great consequences even if Duan Ling Tian opposed the Heavenly Wave Mansion. How could they not feel disappointed now that they learned of the truth?
“Ancestor, what are you saying?” Tang Xiao Xiao’s face flushed a deep shade of crimson when she heard Tang Zhong Yi’s disappointed sigh and words. She looked as shy as a young bride.
“Girl, since Supreme Elder Tang Hong has died, there’s no need for you to leave,” Tang Zhong Yi said. After all, now that Tang Hong was dead, he was more than capable of stopping the marriage between Tang Xiao Xiao and the Young Mansion Master of Heavenly Wave Mansion. Apart from that, he was certain the sect leader would no longer insist on marrying Tang Xiao Xiao off like he did before after witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s strength.
“Ancestor, I think I’d like to travel and see the world…” Tang Xiao Xiao said with a smile, “Before ascending to a Devata Realm, I’d like to take my mind off things by traveling in the mundane realm.”
“As you wish.” Tang Zhong Yi nodded when he heard Tang Xiao Xiao’s words. “However, you must visit me before you ascend…”
“I will.” Tang Xiao Xiao nodded.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian who was ready to leave called out to Tang Xiao Xiao, “Let’s go.” In the beginning, he thought Tang Xiao Xiao would no longer follow him since he had already killed Tang Hong. He did not expect that she would decide to follow him.
“Mhm.” Tang Xiao Xiao grunted in acknowledgment and left with Duan Ling Tian.
“The star chart that Xiao Xiao requested from me… I have a feeling Duan Ling Tian is the one who wants it.” Tang Zhong Yi somehow guessed the situation as he looked at the duo’s retreating backs. He thought to himself, “Xiao Xiao must have some kind of agreement with Duan Ling Tian. She probably promised to help him obtain the star chart that plotted the stellar province of Planet Yan Huang’s galaxy in exchange for his help to bring her away from Tang Sect!” He could guess this much after witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s strength.
“Elder Yi,” Tang Chong, the Sect Leader of Tang Sect, called out after he put the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the throwing knife, away. A bitter smile could be seen on his face as he said, “We should think of a way to deal with the Mansion Master of Heavenly Wave Mansion. Although I don’t think the Heavenly Wave Mansion will sever their relationship with our sect, we are still trampling on their pride by breaking the engagement. Even if they don’t declare war on us, I don’t think they’ll let the matter go.” The bitter smile on his face grew more pronounced when he reached the end of his sentence.
Tang Zhong Yi understood the gravity of Tang Chong’s words, and his expression darkened when he thought about the matter.
…
Meanwhile.
“We’ll be going to this galaxy first. It’s near the galaxy where Planet Yan Huang is situated.”
Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao were near the Interstellar Transportation Formation.
Tang Xiao Xiao smoothed out the star chart she obtained from Tang Zhong Yi and pointed to one of the charted galaxies as she spoke to Duan Ling Tian. “It’s also the only galaxy nearest to the galaxy where Planet Yan Huang is located… These few galaxies around Planet Yan Huang’s galaxy are slightly more primitive. They do not have any Interstellar Transportation Formations. Our only choice is to traverse the stellar province with our physical bodies and enter Planet Yan Huang’s galaxy before going to Planet Yan Huang,” Tang Xiao Xiao continued.
“Mhm.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Let’s proceed according to what you’ve said… I’ll follow you.”
Shortly after, Duan Ling Tian followed Tang Xiao Xiao through dozens of transfer points before they arrived at their intended destination. They were now at the Interstellar Transportation Formation nearest to Planet Yan Huang’s galaxy.
This Transportation Formation was situated in a galaxy called the Coste Galaxy.
“The Coste Galaxy is completely ruled by technology… This planet we’re on is the mother planet, Planet Sattel.”
They had just arrived on Planet Sattel in the Coste Galaxy.
Tang Xiao Xiao had launched into an explanation of their whereabouts before they even left the Interstellar Transportation Formation.
“Naturally, I learned all this from the annotations on the star chart… I’ve never even heard about this galaxy until today. After all, this galaxy is too far away from the Thousand Opportunities Galaxy where our Tang Sect is located,” Tang Xiao Xiao said with a smile.
“Yan Huang Realm is too big! Our Saint Province Realm can’t compare at all!” Duan Ling Tian exclaimed emotionally.
“That’s only natural.” Tang Xiao Xiao continued to say, “Your Saint Province Realm is but a small mundane realm… Our Yan Huang Realm is a large mundane realm. Well, when you ascend to a Devata Realm, you’ll learn the meaning of big. Moreover, there are 81 Devata Realms in total. Each and every one of them is larger than our Yan Huang Realm! Naturally, a large mundane realm like Yan Huang Realm is the closest thing to a Devata Realm. There’s also a boundless starry sky in the Devata Realms, with countless planets, galaxies, and stellar provinces.
“The Devata Realm…” Duan Ling Tian’s interest in the Devata Realms was further piqued when he heard Tang Xiao Xiao’s words. He felt like a country bumpkin who went to a metropolis when he arrived at Yan Huang Realm after leaving the Saint Province realm. According to Tang Xiao Xiao, the Devata Realms were even bigger than Yan Huang Realm. It was as though it was boundless.
“Let’s go! We need to leave Planet Sattel and the Coste Galaxy, traverse the stellar province with our physical bodies, and make our way to Planet Yan Huang’s galaxy.” After Tang Xiao Xiao beckoned Duan Ling Tian to leave the Interstellar Transportation Formation, she took out the star chart again and spread it out. “According to the annotations on this star chart, after leaving the Coste Galaxy, we’ll still have to go through three galaxies before we arrive in Planet Yan Huang’s galaxy. If you bring me along, with your speed, I think it’ll take three months for us to arrive. This is based on the condition that you use your full speed throughout the journey.”
Tang Xiao Xiao looked at Duan Ling Tian as she continued to say, “I came to this conclusion after I take into account of us traveling on using your Sword Formation and your speed that’s comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. If the condition is not met, we’ll take a longer time.
“It’s so far away?!” Duan Ling Tian was taken aback by Tang Xiao Xiao’s words. With his full speed, they would still need three months to arrive in Planet Yan Huang’s galaxy? With this speed, they would have been able to complete a circle around the Upper and Lower Province in the Dao Martial Saint Land in just a few days. His mood took a dive as he thought to himself, “Compared to a small mundane realm, a large mundane realm is so big?”
Duan Ling Tian was about to bring Tang Xiao Xiao to their destination when an excited voice rang in the air. “So cool! This is so cool!”
The voice sounded as though it was close to them.
Duan Ling Tian focused his eyes and saw three young men wearing clothes that resembled a suit in his past life on earth. The three young men were standing on something that resembled skateboards and speeding toward both of them.
It was obvious the skateboards were not ordinary skateboards. Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness into the three young men’s skateboards, and he discovered the skateboards’ internal structure. When he discovered the densely packed capacitances and wires within, he felt his scalp tingling. ‘The technology here has progressed so much?’
Duan Ling Tian clearly remembered that the most sophisticated technological product in his past life on earth was nothing as complicated as these skateboards. It could not even compare to the simplest parts of these skateboards.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Duan Ling Tian was still in awe of the three young men’s skateboards when a red light shone from their skateboards and sounded a warning.
“They’re standing on flight skateboards. They can be seen everywhere in a galaxy that’s ruled by technology… The humans within the galaxies ruled by technology rely on them for flight.” Tang Xiao Xiao seemed to have noticed Duan Ling Tian’s shocked expression. She quickly explained. “You must have probed their flight skateboards with your Divine Consciousness, right? Otherwise, the skateboards’ alarms won’t go off.”
“Mhm.” Duan Ling Tian nodded, still in awe. Although he had known that technology and cultivation co-existed in large mundane realms, he was still amazed by the technology in large mundane realms. Although earth also had its own technology, it was primitive compared to this. He mused inwardly, ‘If earth’s technology were to progress normally, it would take 10,000 years for it to be this advanced!’
One of the young men standing on the skateboards glared at Duan Ling Tian as he said in a deep voice, “Boy, how dare you do as you wish in our Coste Galaxy when you’re just a cultivator? You must be tired of living!”
Another young man said lecherously as he looked at Tang Xiao Xiao, “Let’s kill the male cultivator and take the female cultivator with us… Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I had some fun with a female cultivator.”
