A World Worth Protecting-Chapter 801: One Should Keep a Low Profile!
"Black Earth Empire?" Hearing the stone patriarch's words, the expressions of the Spirit Immortal stone golems changed as they all inhaled. Although they all revered Chen Qing, they felt that a legendary figure like him was too far away from them and wouldn't choose to believe Wang Baole based on a few sentences.
But the Black Earth Empire was different. It was a huge empire that was said to not only have Star Domain realm mighty figures but a Universe realm mighty figure. At the same time, the number of cultivators subordinate to them was astonishing. After all, they chose to declare independence under the rule of the Never-Ending Clan. That in itself showed their confidence in their strength!
The most important thing was… the patriarch's definite tone that confirmed that the person just now was a member of the Black Earth Empire's direct line of descent. Although the Black Earth Empire was huge, they had few male offspring in their direct line of descent. The Black Earth Empire would go into a frenzy if any one of them were in danger.
So as they inhaled, the Spirit Immortal stone golems immediately brushed away their refusal to comply. In fact, they felt fortunate that the patriarch woke up. If not, their entire clan would be about to face a huge catastrophe.
As the stone golems sighed with emotion, outside their civilization's star system, within the Half-Dharmic Battleship speeding through the cosmos, the Black Earth Empire direct descendant… was looking towards Wang Baole with awe.
"Daddy, you're amazing!" Little Wu flattered Wang Baole sincerely. No matter how the stone golem clan felt, he really felt that he was going to die in that moment. Now that he dodged a bullet and remembered Wang Baole's previous actions, Little Wu's admiration grew even stronger.
Enjoying Little Wu's gaze of admiration, Wang Baole coughed and said coldly, "Through this experience, I hope you'll learn something. Don't keep proclaiming that you're some prince. What if you say it so many times that others stop believing it but you yourself believe it? Wouldn't that be awkward?"
"A man of ability wouldn't keep showing it off. Like me, for instance, when have you seen me showing off my background? Only when absolutely necessary will I expose a little bit. That's called keeping a low profile!"
"Do you understand?" Wang Baole threw a look at Little Wu with a sense of profoundness he himself didn't understand. With that look, Little Wu shuddered. It was as though he was suddenly enlightened and immediately understood some principles.
That was especially so when he remembered how he met Long Nanzi. At that moment, not only were his eyes filled with awe, he also became fanatic. He felt that Long Nanzi made a lot of sense. A man of true ability didn't need to proclaim it.
"Thank you, Daddy, I understand now!" Little Wu nodded heavily. He felt that him calling such a mighty figure daddy was a good decision. As he admired Long Nanzi, he felt that he was very lucky to be able to meet him.
Noticing Little Wu's gaze, Wang Baole felt very pleased. He secretly thought that he should find a chance to let Little Wu experience the power of the Dao Scripture. Afterward, Little Wu would probably admire him more fanatically.
Oh well, I'm handsome and outstanding. With a random action, people will flock to me to become my lackeys. Seeing myself like this… even I'm envious of myself. After sighing with emotion in his heart, he threw out the donkey again. Afterward, he gave the Half-Dharmic Battleship an order to continue moving forward before he sat down cross-legged, arranging the loot from his expedition.
The expedition to the stone golem civilization could be said to have been threatening but not dangerous. And after seeing the amount of loot he obtained, Wang Baole's heart still beat faster.
Four Stone Bamboos! Wang Baole licked his lips while his eyes shone. Thoroughly appraising the value of his loot, he felt that with the four Stone Bamboos alone, he could obtain an astonishing amount of resources.
I'll give one of them to this giant dragonfly… Thinking to this point, Wang Baole spread his consciousness and swept it across his stolen Half-Dharmic Battleship and felt that describing it as a locust was more appropriate.
So he disassembled a Stone Bamboo, threw a portion up, and said, "Big Yellow, this is for you!"
The moment Wang Baole spoke, a hole opened on the Dharmic Battleship wall above him, and a suction force suddenly spread and absorbed that portion of Stone Bamboo. Afterward, the entire Half-Dharmic Battleship shuddered and sent a message expressing its gratitude and excitement.
After doing that, Wang Baole was in high spirits. Raising his right hand and weaving hand seals with it, he controlled the Half-Dharmic Battleship to accelerate and speed towards the cosmos in the distance.
Just like that, time slowly passed, and three months elapsed!
In three months, the cosmos that Wang Baole headed towards was already extremely far away from the Divine Eye civilization. At the same time, after going to the stone golem civilization, his luck seemed to have changed, causing him to gradually obtain more loot in those three months.
Although the loot he obtained gradually was far from what he obtained from the stone golem civilization even when added together, Wang Baole was still very happy. On the one hand, the accumulation of resources gave him a special sense of satisfaction. On the other hand, the widening of his knowledge gave Wang Baole a more comprehensive understanding of the cosmos.
In those three months, he saw seven to eight different civilizations. Among them, five were similar to Earth. If Wang Baole had evil intentions when he arrived, he could have caused the extinction of those civilizations.
Two of them were even worse. They were similar to the Federation before the Spirit Inception Era and didn't have much Spirit Qi. Wang Baole only took a look at them and didn't go close to them, instead choosing to leave.
Such civilizations probably did have some archeological value, but it would take a lot of time. If one stayed in a place with little Spirit Qi for too long, they would feel suffocated, like a fish out of water.
Although it wouldn't affect him much, Wang Baole still chose to give up after sweeping over the civilizations with his consciousness.
Besides that, there was another civilization that Wang Baole chose to stay away from. That was because, through the Divine Eye civilization's scanner, he discovered that there were Planet realms there. Hence, he didn't need to evaluate anything. Wang Baole felt that he was already very rich and should avoid looking for trouble.
At the same time, since Wang Baole kept feeding his Half-Dharmic Battleship Stone Bamboos, his Half-Dharmic Battleship evolved to a certain degree within these three months. Although it couldn't really be considered a Dharmic Battleship that could fuse with Wang Baole, from its aura alone, it was already extremely close to a Dharmic Battleship.
According to Wang Baole's calculations, if that went on, if he had another half of a Stone Bamboo, Big Yellow could definitely become a true Dharmic Battleship!
It's a pity that my cultivation hasn't reached the Spirit Immortal realm… If it had, once it becomes a Dharmic Battleship, I could turn it into Dharmic Armor and increase my personal combat strength to have a maximum power equivalent to that of two Spirit Immortals! Wang Baole felt a tinge of regret. He couldn't help but start pondering how to incorporate the Dharmic Battleship with his Thearch Armor and lower the usage requirements while not affecting its combat strength.
Wang Baole's instinct told him that his theory could be feasible. But just as he settled down and started analyzing his theory, his Half-Dharmic Battleship came to a new star system.
According to the scanner, the star system didn't display any color. But the more the scanner displayed this, the more cautious Wang Baole became. However, he didn't immediately retreat. That was because the scanner displayed that there were resources of value to Wang Baole in that star system. However, before entering, he still needed to be completely alert and cautious.
The moment Wang Baole entered the star system, like when he first entered the Divine Eye civilization, the feeling of entering a membrane appeared again. This caused Wang Baole's expression to become stern instantly. He knew that was an area that was isolated from the outside world. When he spread out his consciousness and observed thoroughly, what he saw and felt made Wang Baole's eyes grow wide uncontrollably.
This was an extremely unique star system, the likes of which Wang Baole had never seen before. In fact, to a certain extent, it could be said to have completely overturned his understanding of planets!
That was because… within the star system, there was an extremely giant vine, the ends of which almost couldn't be seen. While the giant vine spread across the entire star system, there were also spherical fruits on top of it.
There were dozens of fruits, and every one of them…. was a planet!
As for the Eternal Star… or, in other words, the existence that possessed the power of an Eternal Star, it was the giant vine. It supported life, supported the planets, and brought light to the entire star system.
This scene shook Wang Baole's soul. Little Wu, who was beside him, also had his eyes go wide. He spoke softly and with a bit of hesitation while feeling bizarre.
"I think I've heard of a similar vine civilization before somewhere…"
Noticing Little Wu's words, Wang Baole immediately looked over with an inquisitive look.
After being noticed by Wang Baole, Little Wu perked up and immediately started thinking hard. Very quickly, his eyes shone.
"Daddy, I remember now. I've previously heard someone say that there exists a kind of nomadic civilization in the cosmos. Their distinguishing trait was their vines. These kinds of civilizations have matriarchal societies and travel around the cosmos. They like to exchange life essences with the opposite sex…" Speaking to that point, Little Wu blinked his eyes and didn't continue speaking.
