CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 95 MIAO LUO STAR

In the cosmos.

Swish!

A massive warship suddenly appeared.

"Celestial Spirit, is that Miao Luo Star?" In the Central Control Room, Wang Xu stood on the platform, gazing at the distant blue star in awe, "What a huge star."

This blue star resembled Earth, but its blue was purer, appearing like a blue jade stone from afar, exquisitely beautiful.

But its size was comparable to the Sun, 1.3 million times that of Earth.

"Yes, this is the star closest to Earth," Celestial Spirit said. "Miao Luo Star is part of the Dragon Star River, governed by the Star Lord ’Tai Long’, the largest and most prosperous star within the Dragon Star River."

"Star Lord?" Wang Xu asked.

"A Cosmic Martial Artist reaching the Void Level has the ability to survive in a vacuum and wander across the cosmos. When they reach the Black Hole Level, they qualify to apply to become a Star Lord. At the White Hole Level, they can even become a Star River Lord," Celestial Spirit explained.

"Based on your understanding, the entire Galaxy Star System is one Star River. If you became the Star River Lord, you could rename the Galaxy after yourself."

"Of course, not just any White Hole Level can become a Star River Lord, only those White Hole Level Elites recognized by the Cosmic Alliance have the qualification to be a Star River Lord."

"I see," Wang Xu nodded thoughtfully.

Simply reaching the White Hole Level isn’t enough; one must be an elite within the White Hole Level to become a Star River Lord.

"This Miao Luo Star is the closest to Earth, yet its prosperity far surpasses Earth’s," Wang Xu marveled.

In the distance, a dense fleet of cosmic ships was heading towards Miao Luo Star, orderly and forming a long dragon.

Wang Xu deactivated the stealth mode and joined these fleets. A casual glance revealed various alien forms on the surrounding cosmic ships.

Some had bright red skin, white eyes, with black lines across their skin; some had horns on their heads and skin like fish scales, with sharp fangs exposed; some had a pair of black wings at their back, with gray-white faces, looking much like mythical angels...

These aliens were similar in size to humans, mostly between 1.7 and 3 meters, except for a few giant aliens, as tall as a building, clad in silver-white armor, holding giant axes, standing guard on either side of the captain.

It seemed that many aliens noticed Wang Xu’s gaze, casting curious looks at his Bailan, to which Wang Xu nodded and smiled in response.

"Master, Miao Luo Star has an entry checkpoint where you need to undergo detection scan," Celestial Spirit said.

Wang Xu recalled hearing about such checkpoints from Celestial Spirit; most planets have strict monitoring of powerful technology weapons to prevent damage by desperadoes.

"No problem, the weapon system of Bailan is not yet fully repaired, posing no threat to Miao Luo Star. They will let us pass," Wang Xu said.

About six hours later, Wang Xu entered the atmosphere of Miao Luo Star, a red light screen swept across Bailan without pause.

Buzz~~~ Buzz~~~~

Just as the red light screen swept over, an earth-shattering alarm sounded from behind.

Wang Xu turned to see a cosmic fleet behind Bailan highlighted by a massive red light, the captain was flustered, commanding hastily.

Bang!

Suddenly, a thick white beam shot forth, annihilating the entire cosmic fleet with a single strike, turning it to black ash.

The other aliens turned their heads indifferently, as if used to the scene.

"Such ruthless measures." Wang Xu broke into a cold sweat, realizing Miao Luo Star’s might and cruelty exceeded his knowledge, eliminating threats instantly without questioning or understanding the reasons, eradicating all potential hazards.

......

The Bailan stopped at a dedicated fleet docking area, and Wang Xu stepped down as other fleets disembarked hundreds of servants first, followed by the important figures slowly emerging.

"Three hundred Basic Level Tier Nine, all his servants, what a show of power." From a distance, a tall and elegant alien with blue eyes, yellow skin, wearing shimmering attire stepped out from a fleet, the most dazzling among the crowd.

This tall alien looked haughty, followed by two powerful figures, both Void Level, the tall alien glanced around before flying towards the city with the two powerful figures.

The tall alien was just one among the many fleets Wang Xu encountered on his way, each having hundreds of Basic Level servants, several Star Level or Void Level bodyguards among the high-profile figures.

Some high-profile figures, whose power even Wang Xu couldn’t fathom, emerged from their warships, their servant teams more formidable with a hundred Star Level and twenty Void Level formations, leaving Wang Xu astounded.

"Tsk tsk... They’re all big shots." Wang Xu sighed, flying alongside these big shots towards the tall buildings in the distance.

This is the first city on Miao Luo Star, called "Miao Luo City," and it is the most prosperous city on the entire Miao Luo Star.

Skyscrapers rise into the sky like bamboo shoots in spring, and flying figures are everywhere. Among the bustling crowd, Cosmic Martial Artists at the Star Level are a common sight, with no shortage of those at the Void Level, and even Black Hole Level characters pass by in a flash, leaving behind a fleeting afterimage.

The lights are bright and intoxicating, and although it is already night, the place glows brightly, giving no sense of nightfall.

Wang Xu dodged the rapidly approaching figures one by one, searching for the location of the Cosmic Bank in the sky.

He did not release his Spiritual Consciousness. Celestial Spirit had warned him that in Miao Luo City, one should refrain from spreading their Spiritual Consciousness, as it is disrespectful to the powerful and easily offends others.

Wang Xu didn’t want to inexplicably offend anyone upon arrival, so he simply used his eyes to search.

"Found it!"

A moment later, Wang Xu’s eyes lit up. At the entrance of a building, the four large characters "Cosmic Bank" were prominently written.

These characters were in the universal language of the cosmos, which Wang Xu had specially learned from Celestial Spirit. For someone at the Star Level, the universal language posed no difficulty, and he had mastered it completely in just half a month.

"Hello, welcome." Just like on Earth, alien companies do not rely solely on force; they also treat people politely.

"I wish to withdraw some Cosmic Crystals. This is my Crystal Card." Wang Xu took out the Purple Crystal Card and flashed it in front of the receptionist. Although his voice was not loud, the atmosphere immediately fell silent.

The Cosmic Martial Artists withdrawing and depositing wealth in the Cosmic Bank suddenly turned their heads, their eyes all fixed on the Purple Crystal Card in Wang Xu’s hand, showing amazement and deep apprehension.

"This...this... Please wait a moment, I’ll go get the manager." The receptionist, flustered, quickly opened a communication tool resembling a Light Computer and spoke anxiously.

In just a moment, as soon as the receptionist closed the communication tool, a human-like figure with white skin and black eyes quickly emerged from within.

Black Hole Level!

Wang Xu glanced at him, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart.

Even a small manager at the Cosmic Bank is at the Black Hole Level. If it’s the director or a high-level executive of the Cosmic Bank, wouldn’t their power be sky-high?

"Honored Purple Crystal guest, my name is ’Bu Que,’ and I am the director of the Miao Luo Star Cosmic Bank branch. Please follow me." The Black Hole Level figure, upon seeing Wang Xu, showed no surprise at his mere Star Level Realm, but instead spoke with exceptional respect.

"Sure." Wang Xu felt unsettled inside but appeared quite calm on the surface, speaking with a flat tone.

The two walked toward the interior of the Cosmic Bank under the envious gazes of the crowd. The interior of the Cosmic Bank is not open to the public, and only privileged users with a Golden Card or above are eligible to be invited inside.

They entered a luxurious room, even more extravagant than a presidential suite on Earth.

"Honored Purple Crystal guest, may I ask how much you’d like to withdraw?" Bu Que asked after they sat down.

"One hundred thousand Cosmic Crystals," said Wang Xu.

"Alright, can you provide the name of the cardholder?" Bu Que immediately took out a transparent crystal resembling a tablet.

"Xian Qu."

Bu Que typed the words Xian Qu into the tablet crystal, quickly verifying, "Okay, verification is complete. Here are your one hundred thousand Cosmic Crystals."

Bu Que handed Wang Xu a white card, and as soon as Wang Xu took it, he realized it was akin to a Space Ring, except it was shaped like a card.

"Honored Purple Crystal guest, do you need any other services?" Bu Que asked respectfully.

"No, I don’t." Wang Xu waved his hand and left the Cosmic Bank directly.

After watching Wang Xu’s figure depart, the receptionist walked over and asked, "Senior Bu, what is the background of this Purple Crystal guest?"

"I don’t know," Bu Que shook his head, "but remember, never offend someone who can possess a Purple Crystal Card!"

The Purple Crystal Card is the highest-grade card issued by the Cosmic Bank. Only ten thousand have been issued across the entire cosmos, and each owner is at least a major figure in the Celestial God Realm!

...

Meanwhile, at the very moment Wang Xu withdrew the money, in a distant part of the starry sky, a burly man in a black robe suddenly opened his eyes, but his gaze was full of melancholy.

"Is he on Tai Long?" The burly black-robed man sighed, "He has gone so far. Did I push him too hard?"

"Forget it, it’s been tens of thousands of years. If by the time of the Perfection of a hundred thousand years, he still hasn’t reached the Celestial God Realm, I’ll pursue him again." The burly black-robed man muttered to himself and then closed his eyes again.
