Chapter 91: An Unexpected Reunion
Fifth planet.
The headquarters of the Empire's Temple of the Fallen Star is located on this beautiful planet, and in fact the entire planet is owned by it!
From the advent of the first Genetic Ability Elixir to the birth of the first Alien to the present, for thousands of years, the duty of the Temple of the Silent Star has been to fight against aliens and protect human civilization! As the empire has more and more supernatural powers, the anomalous legions have gradually become an indispensable strategic force in foreign conquests, and the influence of this institution that nominally governs all the supernatural powers in the empire has become more and more influential!
Theoretically, anyone can cultivate abilities with enough resources, but in practice this is not the case. In order to obtain the amount of strength, at least two basic conditions must be met: first, one's own genes are stable enough and will not become fragile and easy to collapse due to the loading of new abilities; Second, the affinity between the body's cells and the free energy of the space must reach a certain threshold, so as to ensure that the ability can absorb enough free energy to continuously strengthen itself after stimulating the ability, so as to continue to advance.
The selection criteria for the supernatural are extremely harsh, taking an administrative planet with a total settled population of 100 million as an example, the seedlings with the potential for supernatural cultivation are only a few hundred, so the social status of each supernatural is quite high!
Scarcity is expensive! In any era, it is a wise saying!
The cultivation of the supernatural requires a huge amount of resources, and is subject to the stability of their own genes, among these hundreds of seedlings, only one-tenth of them are expected to cultivate above the Star Transformation Realm and become a high-level supernatural person, and even fewer can reach the Falling Star Realm. As for going up, it has to be a genius in a million to be able to break through the shackles.
The territory of the Chinese Empire is vast, there are hundreds of thousands of habitable administrative planets, each planet has a special ability school, every year the newborn babies will be identified by professional testers, all those who have the ability to cultivate will be registered, and sent to the school for special training at the age of six until adulthood.
After graduation, the first choice for those with abilities is to join the army, or to serve in some powerful department, and if they are not willing to serve the country, they need to pay the full training fee before they can be freed.
The strength of the Huaxia Empire is far superior to that of other countries in the Anthropocene realm, and one of the key factors is that the population base is large enough, so there are the most candidates with the potential for ability cultivation, which ultimately leads to the strength of the Ability Legion, which is that all the high-level abilities of the remaining human countries are unmatched!
With a strong enough army, you can defeat those powerful alien races in foreign wars and plunder enough territory and resources! And with territory and resources, you can feed more people and cultivate more abilities! This virtuous cycle model is one of the important reasons for the sustained and rapid development of the empire.
In the sky, Xichen Qinglan told Xiao Junling about the past history of the Silent Star Temple, and at the same time personally piloted the spaceship towards the north pole of the planet.
In the stratosphere above the North Pole, thousands of giant gravity-defying engines hold up a magnificent city, slowly cruising in the sky 10,000 meters above the ground.
This is the headquarters of the Temple of the Silent Star, and hundreds of azure pyramid-like buildings make up the main body of the city, the smallest of which is more than 300 meters high. The outer edge of the city has a thick energy shield defense system that keeps the cold snap from the cold current.
As the distance closer, he could see countless people coming and going in those pyramids, most likely high-level supernatural beings who had come to study and some elite students recommended from all over the empire.
The benefits of cultivating at the headquarters are self-evident, not only does it mean more opportunities for advancement, richer cultivation resources, but there will also be powerhouses above the Dark Star Realm, and even the Silent Star God of War will give public lectures from time to time, and many big figures in the upper class will often come here to visit, if you are lucky enough to meet a few, you may have all kinds of unexpected benefits.
For thousands of years, almost all of the Silent Star God of War level peak powerhouses in the empire have come out of here! Moreover, because the amount of heavenly resources required by a powerhouse of this level to cultivate can only be fully provided in this kind of place, no matter which side is in power, they dare not ignore the existence and influence of the Silent Star Temple.
This is a veritable place of pilgrimage in the minds of many of the Empire's supernatural beings!
The spaceship made a large circle in the air and anchored lightly at the landing field in front of the main department, and then the master and apprentice left the gangway and walked towards the door on foot.
On the flat and smooth ground, there are neatly paved with translucent milky white stone tiles, each of which has a different number and size of ice and snowflake-like textures, which looks very beautiful.
He couldn't help but change color a little: "No wonder the free energy of the entire planet's arctic airspace has been attracted, it turns out that it is all because of these floor tiles, it is really scary......
The wealth of the Silent Star Temple is abundant, he can be regarded as having seen it, and he actually uses a high-grade concentrating crystal like Yun Xuan Crystal to pave the ground, although the cost is indeed huge, but the cultivation effect here is undoubtedly twice the result with half the effort!
"The Great Sage is peeking at the Heavenly Star Tower, let's go over!" Xichen Qinglan took his hand and entered the gate, and a sapphire blue street about thirty meters wide appeared in front of him, extending towards the mountain with a gentle slope.
The canopy of ancient trees on both sides of the road almost obscured the sunlight overhead, making it extremely cool, but he didn't recognize what the plant was. There are clusters of golden-red fruits on the tree, and the breeze blows, and the fruits shake gently, and the unique fragrance of the fruits spreads.
According to the goddess of war, this rare variety obtained from an alien planet, its fruit and wood heart have a good positive effect on the cultivation of the supernatural, of course, without permission, he doesn't dare to go up and pick a few and try it out rashly.
In such a place, the rules are extremely strict, except for the powerhouses of the Silent Star God of War level, everyone must walk on foot, and they are not allowed to use flying abilities or use foreign objects, and once they are discovered, they will be severely punished!
Because she deliberately restrained her breath, the many Abilities who were constantly coming and going around didn't pay much attention to them, but just as the two of them reached the entrance to the first pyramid building, they bumped into an acquaintance.
Ji Yuechen, whose face was sinking like water, hurriedly walked over with Yang Yueqi, and after seeing her, he greeted her with a little surprise and asked, "Are you also here to see the teacher?" β
Xichen Qinglan nodded: "The teacher heard that I had a new student and wanted to see him in person, so I brought him over." β
Ji Yuechen smiled: "What a lucky little guy!" I have accepted so many disciples, but none of them can be taken to heart by the teacher! Originally, Yang Jingxuan had this opportunity, but unfortunately he went on a mission for a few years, and he never came back after reaching the worst......"
"It's been so long, and you're still struggling with this, what are you doing?" Xichen Qinglan smiled,
"If you want to open some, Yang Jingxuan is gone, but his sister's qualifications are also very good! Cultivate well, and your future achievements may not be worse than his! β
"It's up to her creation! How difficult it is to break through the barrier of the God of War of Silence, you and I know very well! Ji Yuechen sighed, and said to the girl again:
"Yueqi, come and meet your uncle!"
"Hello Uncle Shi!" Yang Yueqi stepped forward and bowed obediently.
Xichen Qinglan nodded with a smile, and pulled Xiao Junling behind him over and said, "Say hello to your uncle and sister!" There are many opportunities to meet in the future. β
"Xiao Junling has seen his uncle, he has seen his sister......" He bowed and saluted, but his heart was already full of mixed feelings.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into two former relatives at once, and he should undoubtedly be happy to see that they are safe and sound now, but when he recalls his current identity and is afraid that he will never recognize each other again, he is indescribably gloomy in his heart.
It was only at this time that Ji Yuechen took a serious look at this young man with a young face that was still immature and a little beautiful, and a feeling of dΓ©jΓ vu suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Huh? You boy......" he muttered with some confusion, "I seem to remember...... Where have I seen you? But why can't you remember? β
Yang Yueqi on the side has changed her face, in her eyes, the image of this beautiful boy has too many similarities with the figure in her memory! Although the appearance is completely different, the indescribable feeling cannot deceive people.
"You, ...... are you" her voice trembled a little, and her eyes involuntarily turned red,
Xiao Junling lowered his eyes, retreated to Xichen Qinglan's side without a trace, and tried to say in a calm voice: "Senior sister, you seem to have recognized the wrong person, I ......"
"No ββ!" Yang Yueqi suddenly became excited, rushed to him with an arrow step, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and asked in some incoherent words:
"So you're not dead, so do you remember who I am? No...... You must remember...... I'm your ......"
Xichen Qinglan frowned a little unhappily and said, "Yueqi, what are you doing here?" Don't want to let it go? β
"You can't be wrong, you can't be wrong...... You are ......" Yang Yueqi pinched him hard, and there was a great tendency to snatch him away.
Ji Yuechen shook his head, raised his hand and waved, and several faint bands of light appeared, restraining Yang Yueqi, who was out of control, and dragged him over.
"Teacher, I didn't admit my mistake......" Yang Yueqi was so anxious that tears were about to fall out.
Ji Yuechen gave her a sharp look, forcing her to stop, and then said to Xichen Qinglan with some apologies:
"I'm sorry, this girl misses her brother too much, that's why she has a bit of a gaffe! But...... I also think this little guy is a little familiar, as if I used to ......."
Xichen Qinglan's pretty face sank: "What do you mean?" I just accepted such a student, and you want to make up your mind? Do you have few protΓ©gΓ©s of your own? β
"Where did you think of it?" Ji Yuechen was a little embarrassed,
"I just don't think my feelings are deceiving, or else...... You lend him to me for a few days, and maybe I can make him remember the past......"
"You're dreaming!" Xichen Qinglan pulled Xiao Junling behind him, and said with a cold face:
"Don't come with me! I tell you, want to hit his idea? Let's see if you have what it takes to beat me! β
"Hey...... All right! Ji Yuechen sighed helplessly, "I don't mean anything else, since you don't worry, then forget it!" Just if I didn't say that! β
Xichen Qinglan snorted, and pulled Xiao Junling inside without looking back.
