The atmosphere in the hall was deadly silent. Everyone looked at each other.

  After a moment of silence, Nangong Jing shot daggers at him and said righteously, “Keep dreaming! I would never be like the fox demon! Don’t even think about it!”

  Lin Ling gritted her teeth. “You’re sick!” It would have been fine if he said it to each of them individually, but there were so many people here…… ‘Would they still have any face left then?’ Alice also nodded in agreement. “Yes, you’re crossing the line, senior!”

  She was actually a little excited, but since the others said those remarks, she couldn’t go up alone.

  Lu Li sneered. “You want rewards, right? Seeing how tired you are, how about I cook some food for you today?”

  Lu Ze: “???!”

  He looked at Lu Li in disbelief.

  ‘He placed first, and yet, she still attempted to murder him?’

  Without a doubt, she wanted to cook those dark dishes. Thinking about this, he coughed.

  “Why are your thoughts so unhealthy? I just said I want a reward. I didn’t say what it was. Why are you all so interested in my body?”

  Hearing this, everyone drew a sharp breath and looked at Lu Ze in disbelief. Earlier, he obviously meant it in ‘that’ way. ‘How could he blame them now?!’

  Even Qiuyue Hesha smiled. Little brother Lu Ze was a little bloated today, indeed.

  “In that case, come, I’ll give you a reward now.” Nangong Jing had a smile on her face. She was considering letting him go since he ranked first, but now…… Nangong Jing then charged up towards Lu Ze. “I’ll beat you to death today!!”

  The rest of them didn’t fall far behind, and Lu Ze’s cries could be heard once again.

  “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

  “.…… Lin Ling, are you a dog?! Stop biting me. Lin Ling is the cutest in the world!”

  “Pfft……”

  Lu Ze’s cries sounded even more painful at this time.

  Only Qiuyue Hesha casually shifted spots and watched the show.

  During this moment, a silver-white hole appeared, and Zuoqiu Xunshuang carried Ying Ying out from the wormhole. When she saw the five of them on the couch with red faces and messy clothes, her smile stiffened.

  The rest of them didn’t expect Zuoqiu Xunshuang to arrive at this juncture. In the end, they all froze on the spot.

  Nangong Jing was embarrassed to death. She was still sitting on Lu Ze’s leg, and her mom saw such a scene. She wanted to die!

  The atmosphere became extremely awkward.

  Moments later, Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s mouth twitched, and she coughed. “Um, it seems I didn’t come at the right time……”

  Nangong Jing and the other girls quickly jumped away from Lu Ze.

  Nangong Jing said, “Mom, let me explain……”

  “No…… don’t explain!” Zuoqiu Xunshuang nodded in understanding.

  Thereafter, she put Ying Ying down. “She said she wants to come back. I’ll leave her here. You guys, continue……”

  Nangong Jing was almost tearing up. “No…… mom, don’t get the wrong idea……” “I know, I know.” Zuoqiu Xunshuang waved her hand and wanted to enter the wormhole.

  At this moment, she thought of something and looked at the group. “Um, Ying Ying is here right now. It’s best to go back to your rooms. This isn’t suitable for kids. And…… keep things in balance, young people.”

  Following her reminder, Zuoqiu Xunshuang disappeared into the wormhole.

  After she left, everyone collapsed on the couch.

  The life from Nangong Jing’s face was drained. “Don’t stop me, I’m going to jump off a building!”

  Qiuyue Hesha carried Ying Ying and rolled her eyes. “Don’t jump from an extremely high area. The Earth might end up broken because of you.”

  Nangong Jing: “.……”

  ‘Alright, for the safety of Earth, it was best that she didn’t jump.’ At this point, Ying Ying blinked her eyes in confusion. “What happened to them, sister Hesha?”

  Qiuyue Hesha rubbed Ying Ying’s little face. “They were doing naughty things and got caught.”

  Ying Ying nodded. “Are they doing something adults do?”

  Hearing this, everyone felt lifeless.

  ‘Even the cute little Ying Ying misunderstood them?’

  After a while, everyone recovered.

  Lu Li, Alice, Lin Ling, and Nangong Jing moved closer to Ying Ying in order to rub her. They hadn’t seen her for a few days.

  Alice said, “Ying Ying and senior should be hungry. Let’s go and cook.”

  Lin Ling nodded. “Ze placed first today. Let’s make a big feast.”

  Lu Li agreed with the plan.

  Hearing them, Lu Ze was very touched.

  They were all angels…… even though they beat people.

  An hour later, the dinner was ready. The table was flashing with spirit light from the food.

  After placing the last dish on the table, the main cook, Alice, smiled. “Time to eat.” Immediately, Lu Ze and Ying Ying appeared at the table and started fighting over the food.

  The others smiled at this and sat down to eat as well.

  When dinner time was finished, they watched cartoons with Ying Ying for a while before returning to their own rooms.

  Early the next morning, Lu Ze and the group went to the living room and received a notice ordering them to go and gather at the meeting hall of the hotel. When they arrived, they found that Luo Bingqing, Lin Kuang, and a few prodigies who had reached the planetary state were also present.

  Lu Ze and the team sat down and asked, “Why did they suddenly call us here? Do you know what it’s for?”

  Lin Kuang shook his head. “I don’t know.”

  It was at this time that Saint Jinyao and Lin Dong came over. When Saint Jinyao saw Lu Ze, Nangong Jing, and the rest, he had a cheeky smile on his face.

  Lu Ze and the girls: “???”

  Why did the old man give them this strange expression?

  Did aunty Xunshuang spill to him what happened last night?

  Thinking about this, everyone felt embarrassed.

  The old man then said, “This time, you were called over for a very important thing.”

  “Recently, the Round Race found a secret realm. It is an ancient artificial secret realm. It was the ruins of a civilization that had disappeared. There were quite some treasures inside.”

  “As of now, there are other beings who are aware of its existence. The secret realm is in the cosmic realm between the Round and Purple Scale Race. After some negotiations, the two sides agreed to send the prodigies of the new generation to excavate it.”

  “You guys are all planetary states and are the most excellent prodigies of the Human Race. Therefore, I have decided that you will participate.”

  “Of course, the Purple Scale Race has their own allies. Their alliance isn’t fond of our four-race alliance. This time, there will be a bit of danger. You guys should decide whether you want to go.”

  Lin Kuang was the first to answer. “Of course, I’m going!”

  The others assented as well.

  Cultivating in the planetary state required too many resources. If they didn’t go and fight for it, they should just retire already. The old man wasn’t surprised at their reactions. He looked at Lu Ze’s group.

  They didn’t lack resources.

  Lu Ze smiled. “We’ll go too.”

  Nangong Jing and the rest wouldn’t object since Lu Ze agreed.

  The old man nodded. “In that case, I won’t say much.”

  “The agreed time is two months later. It’ll take nearly two months to get there. Prepare yourselves and we can leave tomorrow. This time, I’ll lead the pack personally.” Lu Ze and the others nodded.

  Chapter 756 Level-2 Planetary State, Perfect Mastery of Light Beam

  After discussing the secret realm, the old man asked them to go back and prepare.

  Everyone left the meeting room and returned to their own rooms.

  Lu Ze and the team sat on the couch while discussing what they should bring.

  Their weapons and armors were already the best they could use at this stage.

  As for healing serums, they were unnecessary, especially because they had regeneration god art and wood god art.

  In terms of cultivation, they also had red orbs.

  Thinking about it, they realized they only needed to bring themselves and some good food, right? Of course, Ying Ying would also be brought along. It was just another trip. Though they didn’t know whether Ying Ying could enter the secret realm, it should be fine, even if she could only remain outside. If some boss was being unreasonable, Ying Ying could reason with him.

  Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the foyer of the hotel.

  The prodigies of the three races were already there. Qiu An, Man Kun, Man Xiu, Eddie, Brenda, and the others were also present.

  Qiu An waved his hand to Lu Ze and the rest. “Lu Ze, here.”

  Lu Ze and the group walked over.

  Man Kun seemed to have forgotten the previous defeat he suffered. His face had a smile. “I didn’t think we would be fighting alongside each other so quickly.” Lu Ze smiled. “I didn’t expect it either.” Usually, the beings of the four races would only have the opportunity to fight side by side when they reached higher levels. For example, star state or even cosmic system state. Eddie looked at Lu Ze. “I will catch up to you!”

  Lu Ze felt dazed for a moment, but he nodded in the end. “Go for it! You can do it!”

  Eddie: “???”

  ‘Lu Ze was clearly comforting him, but why did he feel annoyed instead?’

  Nangong Jing looked curiously at Qiu An. “Qiu An, the secret realm is what you meant last time, yes?”

  Qiu An nodded. “Yes, this is it. We discovered that secret realm when we were battling the Purple Scale Race. We’ve gone inside and explored. This secret realm was formed tens of millions of years ago. The space inside it isn’t too stable. A high-level planetary state can shatter the space inside. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the younger generation entering.”

  Lu Ze and the group nodded. Some secret realms were naturally formed, and some were man-made. Creating a small dimension involved a lot of restrictions and the stability of space inside was far weaker than the outside universe.

  Natural ones were better, but artificial ones would become weaker and weaker if there were no energy to sustain the secret realm. Space lines would contract as time went on.

  At this moment, the cosmic system states arrived. Behind them were the star states of the four races.

  Even Zuoqiu Xunshuang was there too.

  Clearly, they were all going over.

  Qiu Lun nodded. “There are two months left. Time is of the essence. Let’s head off.”

  The other cosmic system states nodded.

  Then, Lu Ze and the team followed the cosmic system states to the Moon Space Station.

  The ships left behind by the three races were there, as well as a large black human ship.

  It was a few kilometers long and appeared massive and advanced.

  Soon, everyone boarded their own ships and flew off.

  On the human ship, Zuoqiu Xunshuang led Lu Ze and the others around.

  Lu Ze and the rest looked curiously at the metallic hallways.

  This ship was completely different from what they had seen before. It seemed more high technology.

  Zuoqiu Xunshuang smiled. “We bought this ship from the East Realm Gathering for a considerable price. Its attack and defense could reach the peak of star state. It is the ship for Human Race’s interstellar travel.”

  Lu Ze and the others were shocked.

  The peak of star state! This was approaching the cosmic system state then.

  The Human Race only had four cosmic system states currently.

  Zuoqiu Xunshuang smiled. “The cosmic system state can be bought at the East Realm Gathering but that price isn’t something our race can handle.”

  Lin Kuang said in shock, “You can even buy cosmic system state resources at the East Realm social gathering?”

  Zuoqiu Xunshuang smiled. “The things in there are far beyond your imagination. There might even be cosmic cloud state items there.”

  “Cosmic cloud state?!” Lu Ze and the rest exclaimed.

  Zuoqiu Xunshuang nodded in confirmation. “Sometimes, the Elf Race would be traveling there. The things they deal with are cosmic cloud states. It might not be a big deal to them, but it will be something the other races would fight for. Of course, the cosmic cloud state civilization might also choose to trade such things.”

  This increased the desire of Lu Ze and the others to enter even more.

  Soon, they arrived at the residential region.

  Zuoqiu Xunshuang provided, “This is the residential region. The rooms have been prepared. It takes two months to get there. Cultivate during this time. If you need anything, you can notify the guards here.”

  Lu Ze and the others nodded.

  Later on, all the other groups left. Only Lu Ze’s team remained.

  Zuoqiu Xunshuang turned around and smiled. “The old man specifically told me to arrange your rooms close to each other.”

  Lu Ze and the girls were stunned by the statement. Right then, an idea came to their minds. The old man didn’t want others to disturb them……’

  Nangong Jing and the others were very embarrassed.

  After Zuoqiu Xunshuang left, everyone went to Lu Ze’s room.

  It wasn’t too spacious.

  Upon entering, Lu Ze looked around and said, “Ying Ying, come out.”

  Starlight glowed and Ying Ying suddenly appeared in the room.

  Lu Li hugged Ying Ying.

  Zuoqiu Xunshuang also prepared Ying Ying’s room. It was next to theirs.

  After bringing Ying Ying back to her room, everyone began their own cultivation.

  Lu Ze sat on the bed and planned his cultivation.

  He had been learning divine art this whole time before. His cultivation level didn’t improve at all. He should work on it now.

  Lu Ze also needed to learn other divine arts.

  Currently, Light Beam, Darkness Beam, Light and Darkness Beam, darkness buff, and the golden needle hadn’t reached perfection mastery yet.

  The three beams were the priority. After all, if Light and Darkness Beam reached perfection, it would become his strongest offensive means.

  Darkness buff and fire buff were too energy-consuming when used together, so Lu Ze was in no rush to learn them.

  On the other hand, the golden needle divine art was just another means of attack.

  Lu Ze planned to work on his cultivation level during the day and cultivate Light Beam and Darkness Beam at night.

  Accordingly, he began cultivating.

  During the night, Lu Ze felt that he would be able to reach level-2 planetary state in half a month.

  This speed was extremely satisfying.

  Consequently, he left and went to Ying Ying’s room.

  It wasn’t a suite, so everyone could only eat in Ying Ying’s room.

  After dinner, everyone went back to cultivate again.

  On the 18th day, Lu Ze was covered in sweat. He was trying to break through to the level-2 planetary state.

  The spirit force inside his cells surged towards the planets inside his cells.

  As the spirit force entered the planet, invisible waves spread everywhere.

  Lu Ze’s entire body was experiencing pain.

  At this time, Lu Ze felt that vast universal knowledge again. In contrast, it was far different when he broke through to the planetary state. Nonetheless, it was still pretty great.

  He used a purple orb, coupled with a blue crystal, and began learning it. This breakthrough lasted a few hours.

  When his spirit force completely entered the planet, the rune went from one to two. The planet was shining brighter.

  Ten hours later, Lu Ze opened his eyes. Light Beam reached perfection mastery!
