Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 442 428: Galaxy

Alkaid and the others boarded a Dao Artifact Flying Boat...

To be precise, it resembled a main vessel integrating speed, defense, and living facilities.

Moreover, since this warship would inevitably travel frequently between Cangwu and the Northern Sea for some time, it was renamed "Cangbei" after Alkaid had re-refined it.

The Cangbei Warship was not only incredibly fast but also possessed formidable defensive capabilities.

Despite the severe gales and ice rain present on the surface and outer space of the Northern Sea Star, these natural disasters posed no threat whatsoever, either to the Dao Artifact itself or to Li Hanqiu, who piloted the Cangbei.

The warship climbed steadily, and soon...

The view in front of them suddenly cleared.

A vast, dark, and deep expanse came into view for everyone.

The extraterritorial starry sky.

As they initially left the Northern Sea Star, everyone, including Li Hanqiu, Li Qingshan, Lou Yuyu, Liang Qiu, and Xu Quexing, felt a sudden lightness throughout their bodies.

It was as if they had suddenly shed all weight from a high-intensity load, experiencing a feeling of lightness that made them feel almost heavenly.

This sensation of lightness not only made every move feel like it contained a vast and powerful force.

It seemed that even a slight move could destroy everything around them.

"We have left the Northern Sea Star,"

Li Hanqiu couldn't help saying.

As a Hollow Void War Immortal who frequently traveled to and from the Northern Sea Star and its outer battlefield, Wan Liugui was accustomed to this change.

He glanced at the enormous Northern Sea Star "below" and said, "The gravity and environment of the Northern Sea Star are so abnormally strong that any creature leaving it would feel as if the sea is broad enough for fish to leap across and the sky high enough for birds to soar."

He said with a smile, "On the Northern Sea Star, even if a Hollow Void were to detonate its Cave Heaven within, it could at most annihilate a few thousand miles; the mighty Shattered Void would expend great effort to level tens of thousands of miles. However, in the extraterritorial starry sky, even crushing a star millions of miles in diameter can be done effortlessly."

"The anomaly of the Northern Sea Star differs from other planets not because of its gravity or environment, but because of its rules."

Alkaid explained.

As a Shattered Void, and one at the pinnacle on the Northern Sea Star, he was privy to far more information and knowledge than others.

He also looked at this huge planet and explained, "Deep within the star core of the Northern Sea Star exists a Gate of the Immortal Realm. Although the gate is closed, the Three Thousand Great Daos that seep out from it subtly alter the structure of the Northern Sea Star, shifting its environment toward that of the 'Immortal Realm.' Because of this, around the Northern Sea Star, the rules are tightly bound, and cultivators who delve into them also feel greatly constrained."

"The rules of the Gate of the Immortal Realm, huh..."

Li Hanqiu and Wan Liugui had heard of this theory before.

But they did not understand it as thoroughly as Alkaid did.

Li Qingshan couldn't help saying, "No wonder we felt so uncomfortable when we first arrived at the Northern Sea Star, but didn't know how to break free from these constraints. So these constraints are on the level of rules."

"Though uncomfortable, cultivating there is many times more efficient,"

Alkaid explained with a smile, "It's like the top cities in the Cangwu Great World, where the presence of many strong cultivators inevitably makes it difficult for ordinary cultivators. Yet, such an environment also provides easy access to better resources and opportunities, allowing one to rise quickly, otherwise staying in a remote and peaceful area would be more carefree."

"It's peaceful in such remote areas, but it might not always be comfortable to live there."

Wan Liugui said, "When I was born, the Cangwu Realm hadn't undergone drastic changes. Back then, rural people struggled to save a couple of silver coins a year. But if you went to the capital city, as long as you were strong and healthy, you could easily earn a dozen or more silver coins a year. Yet, such an income would make one rich in my hometown but was barely enough to get by in that city. Moreover, having seen the bustling world, many would no longer care to return to the countryside... This decline in rural population clearly illustrates this point."

Li Hanqiu, Li Qingshan, and the others nodded in agreement.

Compared to the Cangwu Great World...

Although it was difficult for these cultivators to stay on the Northern Sea Star, they had to admit that only by coming here could they hope for a better future.

If they had stayed in the Cangwu Great World, mixing with those Golden Core War Immortals, their highest achievement would probably remain at the Golden Core Realm.

The immortality of a Hollow Void?

It was unthinkable.

Not to mention coming into contact with a Dao Lord who lives up to 129,600 years, and the Gate of the Immortal Realm that reportedly grants longevity once entered.

"First is seeking satiety, then gaining enough safety, followed by pursuing health, longevity, evolution... This is the path any creature must undergo,"

Alkaid said as he once again looked out into the starry sky.

Free from the constraints of the Northern Sea Star's environment, he keenly felt how fragile space was.

It was like a creature living under high gravity suddenly entering a low gravity area could leap into the sky, a feat far from extravagant.

And in a low gravity environment, materials and life forms are often fragile; the analogy of moving hands causing landslides is a bit exaggerated, but breaking the "rocks" on this planet with a mere gesture is easy.

This was the current sensation and understanding Alkaid had towards space.

As his Divine Sense spread...

Without external rules to restrain or intervene, his Divine Sense, like an unbridled stallion, quickly reached its limit on the Northern Sea Star—100,000 miles. Then, it easily shattered that limit, spreading to a million miles, ten million miles, a hundred million miles, and a billion miles...

Moreover, through his understanding of the spatial Great Dao and drawing upon its power, he could ultimately extend his Divine Sense up to ten billion miles.

Ten billion miles.

A thought crossed Alkaid's mind.

The next moment, his form vanished.

Void Blink.

In an instant, Alkaid had appeared ten billion miles away.

The whole process encountered virtually no resistance.

After a brief pause, Alkaid performed Void Blink again.

In a flash, another ten billion miles had passed.

Following that, the third, fourth, fifth time...

Within a single breath, he had traversed a hundred billion li of starry space.

"It's too easy; whether it's the strain Void Blink places on Cave Heaven or the speed of its activation... everything has become much easier. If previously at Northern Sea Star, I could forcefully perform Void Blink about a hundred times in one breath and traverse a billion li, which would cause tremors in Cave Heaven and leave me powerless, now... not to mention a hundred times, even a thousand, thousands of times pose no problem."

In other words...

In his extreme state, he could continue at the efficiency of a hundred billion li per breath for several hundred breaths.

Which amounts to tens of trillions of li.

"Hence, at my current level, the maximum combat radius has already reached one light-year."

Alkaid made a quick calculation.

One light-year!

How far away that is!

Yet now, he could traverse it in an extremely short amount of time.

This is his true strength at this moment.

Moreover, don't forget, the universe's starry sky contains a large number of spatial nodes, similar to wormholes.

Utilizing these nodes to traverse, crossing several hundred light years, thousands of light years, or even tens of thousands of light years is not difficult at all.

Even without utilizing spatial nodes, relying on his speed and the tens of thousands of years of his long life, he could complete an orbital journey around a galaxy.

"Therefore, saying that Hollow Void, Refining Void, and Shattered Void are galaxy overlords is absolutely appropriate: a light-year-level combat radius, plus the ability to project their power to any destination through spatial nodes... ultimately dominating a galaxy is a piece of cake."

Dominating is not destruction.

In a city of a hundred thousand people, as long as someone possesses the power to face a hundred others alone, and uses this power to intimidate and gather a ruling class of a thousand people, these thousand will naturally help him keep the remaining ninety-eight thousand nine hundred citizens well-behaved.

"Swoosh!"

Alkaid activated Void Blink and returned to the Cangbei Warship.

"All right, search for spatial nodes, accelerate at full power, head towards Cangwu Great World."

"Yes."

Li Hanqiu piloted the Cangbei Warship, directly heading for the nearest void node.

On their way, they encountered several wandering warships.

Although these warships did not reach the level of a Dao Artifact, each one possessed extreme speed.

And their purpose for wandering outside Northern Sea Star...

Was naturally to plunder those targets attempting to enter Northern Sea Star.

However, upon seeing the level of the warship carrying Alkaid and others, and the emblem of Heavenly Dao Sect on it, they all avoided them from afar, not daring to confront them at all.

In the meantime, they even encountered a plundering battle, but due to their passing by, the plunderers gave up their current targets and hurriedly fled.

This scene...

Couldn't help but make Alkaid somewhat nostalgic.

But once the warship entered the void node and completed a traverse of several hundred light-years, the surroundings noticeably quieted down.

The Cangbei Warship peacefully continued to the next void node.

The Cangbei Warship itself also performed Void Shuttle, but traversing distances ranged only from several light-years to about ten light-years, and still required some time to cool down.

Fortunately, the vast universe's void nodes were not scarce, often allowing the Cangbei Warship to shuttle once or twice and find the next available void node.

In such cases, Cangwu Great World was almost within reach in less than half a month.

"We've finally arrived."

Located on the Cangbei Warship, a group of about a hundred people nearly simultaneously walked out, gazing distantly at a planet "not far away."

"Cangwu Great World..."

The emotions of Li Qingshan and others were complex.

"Originally, we had some difficulty understanding the structure of Cangwu Great World. Now it seems that this place is a large void node, albeit an obsolete one whose internal space collapsed, absorbing material from a range of several light-years around it, filling the collapsed node and eventually forming this special structure."

Li Hanqiu felt somewhat emotional.

"Although this structure is rare, it's not absent from the starry sky... it's just that the void node in our Cangwu Realm is rather large..."

Lou Yuyu said, his expression carrying a touch of melancholy, "Originally, Cangwu Realm wasn't special."

The crowd observed for a long time, finally, many turned their gaze towards the world outside Cangwu Great World.

There...

Lay a series of Heavenly Palaces.

Looking at these Heavenly Palaces, the former master of the Nine Cauldrons Sect's Heavenly Palace Hall, Murong Hui, couldn't help but say, "So... decades have passed, and Cangwu Great World hasn't changed at all."

"All right, let's head back."

With Alkaid's order,

the Cangbei Warship immediately accelerated and soon arrived above Cangwu Great World.

...

As Alkaid arrived at Cangwu Great World, Zong Wenxian, who was still incessantly entangled with the Light Divine Race, finally received news from the Heavenly Dao Sect.
