Chapter 384: On the Golden Ring
“Haha, you little glutton!” Wang Yulun burst into laughter.
Xu Fan, standing beside him, also chuckled. To win over Wang Yulun’s grandson, Xu Fan had specially crafted a batch of fruit candies using rare Spiritual Fruits.
These candies were exclusive to the Hidden Spirit Sect; the only way to get them was to ask Wang Yulun.
So, as soon as Li Chufan could walk, Wang Yulun had managed to coax him into calling him grandpa.
With a smile, Wang Yulun pulled out a soft green fruit candy and gently popped it into Li Chufan’s mouth.
As soon as the candy touched his tongue, Li Chufan darted off like a little monkey.
“I’m going to find my mother!” Li Chufan wriggled out of Wang Yulun’s arms and scampered away.
“This kid has always been filial,” Xu Fan said with a laugh, watching Li Chufan run off. He guessed the boy was planning to share the candy with his mother.
“Make sure to prepare more fruit candies for me,” Wang Yulun said.
“I’ll give you 10 fruit candies for a fishing trip. Fair and square,” Xu Fan replied, glancing into the distance. Grape had just reported the discovery of a small asteroid.
“Make it 100 candies,” Wang Yulun countered, noting that a fishing trip would take a whole day and disrupt his cultivation.
“50 candies, that’s my final offer,” Xu Fan said with a grin, then ordered Grape to head toward the asteroid.
“Deal.”
The Star Ship adjusted its course slightly and set off toward the newly discovered asteroid.
“Xuanbing Crystal, a common spirit ore used for crafting water attribute treasures,” Xu Fan remarked, eyeing the small, deep blue asteroid.
The asteroid was only about 70 meters in diameter.
The Iron Claw shot out, easily grabbing the Xuanbing Crystal asteroid and dragging it toward the Star Ship.
“This is way better than how we used to gather spirit ore with the Floating Sky Ship,” Wang Yulun commented as the asteroid was hauled into the Star Ship.
“If even the Sea Ship can’t compare, I might as well take it to the Endless Sea,” Xu Fan joked.
As the Star Ship moved through the outermost reaches of the Extreme Void Domain, it took another half month to reach the area near the navigation route mentioned in the information.
“Is this the star gate that leads into the navigation route?” Xu Fan asked, gazing at the massive gate in the distance.
Xu Fan activated the spiritual eye technique to get a better look at the enormous star gate.
In the deep, ghostly blue void stood a star gate that seemed to have been left behind from ancient times.
“This star gate is a projection of a celestial tool. I have no idea where the real one is.”
“A celestial tool like this shouldn’t exist in this realm,” Xu Fan said, frowning.
This celestial tool was like a three-dimensional being suddenly appearing in a two-dimensional world—completely illogical.
A light curtain appeared in midair, displaying a map of the Extreme Void Domain.
“There are 99 star gates in the entire Extreme Void Domain,” Xu Fan observed, studying the interconnected nodes on the light curtain. Each node represented a projection of a star gate.
“Grape, how much space is left on the Star Ship?” Xu Fan asked.
“There’s 40 percent remaining, and the spirit stones can keep the Star Ship running for another year,” Grape replied.
“All right, let’s head toward the star gate,” Xu Fan commanded.
Xu Fan synchronized the location of the star gate to the Star Ship’s network. The Star Ship gradually moved towards the star gate, and as they approached, Xu Fan truly felt the grandeur of the star gate.
"Even the projection is this impressive; I can’t imagine what the actual celestial tool must look like," Xu Fan thought, his eyes shining with curiosity. At that moment, he was eager to see the true form of the star gate.
Since becoming a master craftsman, Xu Fan had seen several celestial tools. Thanks to his exceptional crafting talent, he could usually figure out how to craft any celestial tool just by looking at it.
Even if he didn’t know the specific spirit ore required, he felt confident he could create a celestial tool with similar power.
However, upon seeing the star gate, Xu Fan’s mind went blank. He couldn’t think of any way to craft something like it.
"It seems I’ll have to go to the Thousand Worlds to learn how to craft this," Xu Fan thought as he looked at the star gate.
By then, the Star Ship had passed through the star gate. Instantly, it was as if a train had found its tracks, and the Star Ship’s speed increased dramatically.
"Master, the rules of this space are unusual; any flying object entering this space can accelerate significantly," Grape reported.
"Can this space teleport?" Xu Fan asked.
"It’s the same as the outside world," Grape replied.
"Got it," Xu Fan nodded.
Just then, a streak of light zipped past the side of the Star Ship and sent a message.
"So slow! By the time you reach the Star Station, you won’t even have time to eat hot food."
Reading this message, Xu Fan narrowed his eyes.
An angry voice from Spirit Cut came from the control room.
"Grape, give it everything you’ve got! I want to see what that impatient fool looks like!"
"Grape, full speed ahead," Xu Fan commanded.
"Understood~"
A special blue protective shield replaced the original streamlined one, and the Star Ship began to accelerate, turning into a streak of light racing towards the previous flash.
"So this is what it looks like outside when you reach a certain speed," Wang Yulun remarked, observing the chaotic colors outside the shield.
"When you can see the colors of space, it means your speed has reached the limit of this realm," Xu Fan joked.
With the Star Ship’s extreme acceleration, it soon overtook the other vessel.
Spirit Cut piloted the Star Ship to fly alongside the other ship for a while, sent a message, and then easily surpassed it.
After reading the message, the Great Ascension Master on the other Star Ship exclaimed, "This is too much!"
The other Star Ship tried to accelerate, but soon could only watch the star-like tail flame fade away.
A month later, the Star Ship arrived at a gathering place for Star Ships.
A star, similar in size to Earth, was surrounded by a giant golden ring, and all Star Ships could only dock on the rings.
"Master, we’ve received a message from that star asking if we want to dock," Grape said.
"Dock," Xu Fan replied.
As the Star Ship approached the golden ring, a voice spoke.
"Please provide your basic information." The voice was similar to Grape’s electronic voice.
"Affiliated fairy city, affiliated sect."
"Lin Sen Fairy City, Hidden Spirit Sect," Xu Fan replied lightly.
"Please dock at Xuan District, Area B, Cabin 370."
The Star Ship followed the voice’s directions to dock.
On the golden ring, Xu Fan and the others disembarked and walked towards a large building in the distance.
At that moment, a Transformation Stage cultivator dressed in Elder Council robes approached them.
"Friend, hold on. May I gather some information? We need to learn about the situations in various fairy cities," the Elder Council member asked politely.
"Feel free to ask," Xu Fan replied.
"Are Lingxi Fairy City and Feilin Fairy City still around? How is Lin Sen Fairy City doing? Can it survive the beast race’s attacks?"
"Those two fairy cities have been destroyed; they relocated near Lin Sen Fairy City to resist the beast race together."
"As for Lin Sen Fairy City’s current situation, it’s holding up reasonably well after contracting its area."
