Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 1104: Chapter 970: Mismatched

The diameter of this meteorite exceeds fifty kilometers, which is quite sizable.

On the back of the meteorite, there’s a large pit. At the bottom of the pit, there’s a lifeboat and a lifeboat compartment.

There are two people in the lifeboat and one person in the lifeboat compartment. They don’t necessarily seem to belong to the same group.

The Omen Ship is hovering about a kilometer above them, communicating briefly through the intercom channel.

Upon hearing that they couldn’t enter the ship, the other side obviously got a bit anxious.

"We’ve been trapped here for almost a year, and both our bodies and minds are extremely exhausted. We urgently need to recuperate."

"As long as you let us in, we’re open to negotiation on the price."

"This isn’t about money," Celestial Sound stated coldly, "We didn’t intend to charge; we just came across this by chance."

Diverting the starship to save people consumes how many Energy Blocks? Ordinary people might not earn that in a lifetime.

"You might not charge, but we’re willing to pay," the other side pleaded desperately, "Just let us into the ship, even the cargo hold is fine!"

But Celestial Sound was unmoved, "Don’t agree to being grabbed by the mechanical arms? Then continue staying there, we’re leaving!"

"No, wait!" the other side got anxious upon hearing this, "Fine with the mechanical arms... What the heck, really leaving?"

Celestial Sound indeed followed the operational manual for execution.

She had never truly piloted a starship before, and simply adhered to the captain’s instructions, refraining from acting on her own.

However, for the three people on the meteorite, this reaction seemed quite bizarre.

—You purposely circled over to find us but leave just because of one sentence?

"This person... does she come from a wealthy family?" someone couldn’t help but shout, "Can one really be this capricious?"

However, before long, another starship approached, and how should I put it? It was really a miserable sight!

To venture into space with such a dilapidated starship really didn’t consider the possibility of not returning?

Or rather, which insurance company would dare to insure the voyage of this run-down starship?

If you said this starship went through a battle and got beat up this badly, it doesn’t quite add up, as a woman’s voice sounded.

Her voice was gentle, "Respected survivors, we can lend a helping hand, but you cannot enter the starship."

"No problem, no problem," came a cheerful response, "Having the mechanical arms grab us is fine."

The mechanical arm descended, picking up the lifeboat and the lifeboat compartment.

Both sides looked at each other across the distance, and a voice emerged from the lifeboat compartment, "Hey, weren’t there two people on your lifeboat?"

"Must have been mistaken?" the person in the lifeboat glanced behind, "There was clearly just me, aren’t there two people where you are?"

"Clearly, there are two over there," the person in the lifeboat compartment wasn’t convinced, "Is there someone without hair?"

The two chattered on and were taken to space, six million kilometers away from Xueye Star.

The tattered starship suddenly accelerated, then with a wave of its mechanical arm, tossed the two unfortunate souls toward the planet ahead.

"Alright, we’re not headed in the same direction, wishing you a safe journey."

This couldn’t be considered an unkind attitude, as six million kilometers isn’t really that far, and the speed imparted by the starship wasn’t slow either.

Moreover, both had a certain level of defense, and if nothing untoward happened, they’d be noticed in a few days.

After all, they were just passing by. You couldn’t demand them to take you directly to Xueye Star.

At the same time, Celestial Sound was pestering Qinghu with questions, "Sir, is there really a problem with the distress signal?"

"Ninety-nine percent a problem," Qinghu wasn’t the type of teacher to sell feel-good courses or deliberately paint a peaceful world.

"In Blade territory, signaling for help is more likely to attract predators... the switch from crew member to Star Thief can happen in an instant."

"If they truly wanted help, the signal wouldn’t have been so weak; it was sent for their own kind."

As they were chatting, someone came over, "Alright, I’m fully recovered!"

It wasn’t anyone else but Flower Scorpion. Although her complexion wasn’t great, her spirits were high.

Celestial Sound glanced at her and tentatively asked, "May I now use the Purification Technique?"

"Go ahead," Flower Scorpion nodded, a trace of regret in her eyes, "It’s a pity I still haven’t fully digested the memory."

The idea of a snake swallowing an elephant without issue is an illusion, and after Lund practiced Ghost Cultivation Techniques, his soul power must have strengthened significantly.

She had done her best, but despite a three-month digestion process, she still couldn’t wholly absorb the other’s memory.

Afterward, Celestial Sound and Qu Jianlei conducted multiple tests on her to confirm she wasn’t currently possessed.

In the memories Flower Scorpion absorbed, Lund got his Ghost Cultivator inheritance at the edge of the Maiden Star Realm.

At that time, seeing no hope of reaching the Supreme, Lund joined an expedition team for one last attempt there.

Later, they were ambushed, the team was scattered, and Lund continued to fight and flee until he finally escaped.

Thankfully, being Water Attribute, he didn’t have to worry about water, and during hiding, he dared to move in an even more desolate direction.

Then he discovered a corpse in a cave, with a Spatial Bag and the like beside it.

Though the corpse had disintegrated, the other’s Residual Soul was still present, and he too encountered possession danger.

Lund went to the Maiden Star Realm as his last gamble, carrying the powder for defense against spiritual attack.

However, this powder did not entirely stop the opponent’s attack, and his brain was still invaded.

In the end, the residual soul wailed before dispersing, "What a lousy body, and at such an old age, it’s over, it’s over..."

Later, when Lund recalled, the opponent was disdainful of the Awakened’s cultivation system, mainly because he was also old.

He knew very well that the Awakened’s cultivation system was based on the ancient divine script system, but it was far inferior to the opponent’s.

So, he felt fortunate that he was old; if he were younger, it wouldn’t have been a problem for them to possess him and alter their cultivation.

Ordinarily, discovering this cave along with the corpses and spatial bag, reporting to the Imperial would result in a massive reward.

But by that time, Lund was over a hundred years old, no longer a child, who would believe such things?

He was certain that he couldn’t live to receive the Imperial’s reward.

So he returned discreetly, and after two years of diligent research, he triggered the inheritance stone scroll.

The knowledge within the stone scroll allowed him to discern his gains, and after utilizing treasures and consuming several pills, he successfully reached the Supreme level.

As for the subsequent events, one could guess; he captured some Yin souls and even cultivated two disciples.

One of them is Ke Zhe, the other named Gedel.

Gedel suddenly disappeared over ten years ago, but he hadn’t received true teachings, so Lund wasn’t too concerned.

Ke Zhe was someone Lund relatively trusted; not only did he receive more inheritance, but he also acquired a Supreme Yin soul.

He couldn’t completely control the Supreme Yin soul; it was Lund who granted him the control authority, reluctantly guiding it.

However, one can imagine how challenging it would be for the controlled Supreme Yin soul to possess another Supreme body.

It was precisely because of this that when Qu Jianlei and his team besieged Adol, apart from those bizarre methods, the opponent’s reaction was indeed lackluster.

Later, the residual soul returned to Ke Zhe and was ultimately eliminated by those who chased after it.

And Ke Zhe’s soul was dispersed by Qu Jianlei, so Lund did not receive news of the external situation.

As for why the Tata Clan wanted to seize the Sigma Clan’s ancestral land, it was actually under Lund’s orders.

The residual soul could not harmonize well with Adol, which was detrimental to the next steps of the plan.

Lund intended to spend some time in White Harbor City to complete the integration thoroughly, and then control Adol to acquire more resources.

The reason for not choosing Central City was because it was the political and economic center, and the government oversight was too strict.

Moreover, the Tata Clan had a large population in Central City, making it easier to expose flaws.

The two mountains occupied by the Sigma Clan were ideally located, close to White Harbor yet relatively quiet.

The key was that after driving out the opponent, there were no other scattered people on the two mountains.

Lund only laid out the plan, while Ke Zhe was responsible for the specific implementation.

Yet they didn’t anticipate that, given the vastness of Xueye Star, choosing anywhere else would have been safer.

As a result, muddle-headedly, Lund’s many years of planning were completely destroyed, and he perished.

After Flower Scorpion finished speaking, the Paranoid eagerly inquired, "That, um... did you note down the cultivation technique?"

Flower Scorpion nodded hesitantly, "I’ve noted it down roughly, but it’s very mismatched with our cultivation system..."

"It’s supposed to be mismatched," Granny Jia said leisurely, "Those things aren’t easy to modify; Lund didn’t tidy them up?"

Flower Scorpion answered with a frown, "He tried to modify them, but the effects were unsatisfactory, leading to a significant reduction in combat power."

"I was just saying," Granny Jia muttered softly, "It was once my equal."

The Paranoid argued defiantly, "Just because he couldn’t modify it doesn’t mean we can’t."

Granny Jia rolled her eyes at him, "Anyway, I see you’re struggling... you haven’t even figured out the mystery of near-earth teleportation."

This was something the Paranoid couldn’t stand to hear: the near-earth teleportation magic door was originally in his hands!

However, he didn’t know how to use it and instead let Qu Jianlei ’borrow’ it, leading to its deciphering.

Later, when he got to know the details, he took the magic door and calculated again, but still gained nothing.

Upon hearing this, he jumped up, "That’s because I don’t understand divine script; Lund’s inheritance definitely contains the divine script!"

Granny Jia couldn’t even be bothered to pay attention to him and looked back at Flower Scorpion.

Flower Scorpion shook her head, "There really isn’t... the function of writing is to express thought, isn’t it?"

Upon hearing this, the Paranoid was stunned—if everything was transmitted directly through thoughts, what use was writing?

However, Flower Scorpion added another sentence, "In his memory, this isn’t called near-earth teleportation; it seems to be called teleportation."

The word "teleportation" was spoken in Divine Land language, but the pronunciation was very peculiar.

"Teleportation?" Qinghu raised her eyebrows upon hearing it, then her face changed, "This pronunciation... it should not be spoken lightly in the future."

It was clear that she knew something.

She quickly changed the topic, "The cultivation technique you noted down... better leave it to the boss for calculation."
