Chapter 1125 Meteor Harbor: A Mixed Bunch
The Illusory Realm of Reincarnation.
Void.
After a half-month interstellar journey, a cluster of brilliant points of light finally appeared in the distant starry sky, like twinkling stars in the night sky, captivating the heart and soul.
As the Starship drew closer, the originally faint points of light became increasingly clear, like gems embedded in the starry sky, radiating a captivating glow.
It was a huge port that seemed to float in the starry sky like a dream, cleverly pieced together from countless huge meteorites, surrounded by dozens of small space stations, like stars surrounding the moon.
Countless flying boats of various shapes shuttle back and forth in and out of the harbor, as light as fish leaping into the water, constantly moving back and forth, creating a busy and spectacular scene.
In the center of the harbor, a towering building, like a pillar supporting the sky, pierces the clouds and exudes a powerful spiritual energy, as if it were the heart of the universe, beating with the rhythm of life.
A huge star-shaped gem is embedded at the top of the tower, like the most dazzling pearl in the night sky, shining brightly and dazzlingly. It is not only a symbol of the port, but also a lighthouse to guide interstellar navigation, illuminating the way forward for travelers lost in the vast universe.
"That's Meteor Harbor." A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Su Xiaoya's eyes, as if she had seen the first ray of hope, like the first ray of sunlight before dawn, piercing through the darkness and bringing endless hope.
The Starship slowly landed in the outer docking area of Meteor Harbor, like a bird returning to its nest, finally finding a safe haven.
As soon as the Star Sea Boat landed, two Golden Core cultivators dressed in uniform and exuding an aura as deep as the ocean appeared before them like ghosts. Their eyes, as wary as hawks, scrutinized the Star Sea Boat, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
A spaceship capable of traversing interstellar space requires at least a cultivator at the Refinement Realm to pilot. These two people, though seemingly young, possess such a spaceship, indicating that their origins are clearly extraordinary.
"Fellow Daoists, what brings you to Meteor Harbor? Have you registered?" one of the cultivators asked, bowing respectfully with a hint of barely perceptible aloofness in his tone.
Su Xiaoya took out an identity jade slip she had refined on Qingyuan Star, infused it with a trace of spiritual power, and handed it over: "We two came from Qingyuan Star, intending to go to Meteor Harbor to gather information and find a teleportation array to the Central Continent cultivation world."
The cultivator took the jade slip and examined it, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes—although Qingyuan Star was a remote star region, there were often cultivators from there at Meteor Port, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky. Although they were far away, they could still add a unique touch to this port.
He handed the jade slip back and pointed to the depths of the port: "The teleportation array of the Central Continent cultivation world is in the core area, and it requires a payment of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones to use. If you two fellow cultivators wish to register, you can come with me to the management office. You will only need to pay 1,000 low-grade spirit stones to obtain a temporary pass and move freely within Meteor Port."
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng exchanged a glance. Yu Shuheng nodded, then took out 300,000 low-grade spirit stones and the three people's "information," put them in a separate storage bag, and held it in his hand.
Then he said to the cultivator, "Fellow Daoist, please register all three of us."
"it is good!"
The monk didn't seem to care that he had misspoken and omitted one person, and casually agreed.
The three followed the cultivator deeper into the Meteor Harbor, where the sights they encountered along the way broadened their horizons.
The shops lining both sides of the street resembled castles built from interstellar minerals, filled with a dazzling array of rare spiritual materials, magical artifacts, elixirs, and cultivation manuals imbued with the power of stars, a feast for the eyes.
The cultivators coming and going were of various forms; some were covered in scales, like dragons emerging from the sea.
Some have wings on their backs, just like a roc spreading its wings;
Some have aged faces but exude a powerful aura, like ancient bells and evening drums;
Some are young men with deep eyes, like twinkling stars—this is a place where cultivators of different races and star fields meet, full of opportunities and dangers, like a bizarre and fantastical world.
A noisy argument could be heard coming from a tavern in the distance, seemingly a fierce "war" over a map of an interstellar secret realm;
At a street corner stall, an old man was selling meteorites wrapped with spiritual plants, as if he were peddling precious stars. This attracted many cultivators who stopped to watch, seemingly captivated by the spiritual plants on the meteorites.
From the direction of the core area, the auras of those at the Refinement Realm and even the Integration Realm flashed by from time to time, like streaks of lightning piercing the night sky, inspiring awe and making it seem as if it were an untouchable sacred realm.
Su Xiaoya took a deep breath, as if she wanted to absorb all the rich spiritual energy and mixed atmosphere into her body. The blood in her heart was boiling like hot magma.
She knew that from the moment they stepped into Meteor Harbor, they had truly entered the vast and boundless world of cultivation. New challenges awaited them like raging waves, new opportunities shone like brilliant stars in this vast world, and new enemies and friends, like shooting stars in the night sky, would inadvertently streak across their lives.
Yu Shuheng gripped his longsword tightly, his gaze fixed firmly on Su Xiaoya beside him.
Su Mingyi, on the other hand, was like an invisible ghost. As long as he didn't speak, he seemed to disappear quietly from everyone's sight—even though he was standing there quietly.
The rule of the Great Dao of Nirvana is—nothingness?
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng both noticed it, but they had no real understanding of the Dao of Annihilation, so they could only guess.
The management office was already in sight, and in the tavern not far away, a discreet gaze was fixed on the Starship, a hint of greed and calculation flashing in its eyes—behind the opportunities of Meteor Harbor, there was never a shortage of conspiracies and murderous intent.
Just as they were about to reach the office, a group of monks dressed in black suddenly blocked their way.
The leader was a tall, imposing Nascent Soul cultivator with a chilling aura. His gaze greedily swept over the storage bags in Xinghaizhou and Yu Shuheng's hands.
"Hand over the Starship and the storage bag!"
"Hurry up! If you know what's good for you, behave yourself and you might save your life!" the Nascent Soul cultivator shouted.
Su Xiaoya frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, and almost simultaneously with Yu Shuheng, she exclaimed, "Heh!"
Su Mingyi, however, suddenly said, "These are our things, why should we give them to you?"
The cultivator sneered, "We're all about who has the stronger fists! In Meteor Port, might makes right."
As he spoke, the black-clad monks behind him drew their weapons and surrounded the three of them.
Yu Shuheng gripped his longsword tightly, looking around warily.
Su Mingyi returned to silence, as if he hadn't said anything and it had nothing to do with him.
"Hmph, you want it?" Su Xiaoya raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully, "First ask the swords in our hands if they agree!"
The spiritual energy within the three of them began to circulate silently—since they couldn't avoid it, they might as well kill them all.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense, the Golden Core cultivator who had led the way rushed over: "What are you doing! These are distinguished guests who have come to register. Do not be rude!"
Seeing this, the group of black-clad cultivators hesitated for a moment, but their leader still refused to give up. Just as he was about to say something more, a majestic voice suddenly came from afar: "Stop right there!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a Nascent Soul cultivator in a magnificent robe striding towards them.
His eyes were sharp as he scanned the area, then he sneered, "Trying to run wild in Meteor Harbor? Do you think my rules are just for show?"
The black-clad Nascent Soul cultivator at the head of the group changed his expression, hurriedly put away his weapon, and cupped his hands, saying, "My lord, these people are carrying such precious items, so their origins must be illegitimate. We just want to clean house for you and protect the safety of Meteor Harbor."
The Nascent Soul cultivator sneered, "Heh! They've already registered, so their identities are naturally fine. But you, coveting other people's property and daring to cause trouble, what should your punishment be?"
The black-clad cultivator turned deathly pale and knelt down with a thud, begging for mercy.
The Nascent Soul cultivator waved his hand, taking him and the group of black-clad cultivators into a specially made magic artifact. He then turned to Su Xiaoya and the other two and said gently, "Please don't be alarmed. Meteor Harbor is a mixed bag of people. I will ensure your safety."
Su Xiaoya and the other two quickly expressed their gratitude.
Subsequently, at the instruction of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the Golden Core stage cultivator who was leading the way guided them to successfully complete the registration and obtain temporary passes.
The three stepped into the core area of Meteor Harbor, and a new adventure truly began.
