"Nope," Ye Chong rejected without hesitation. While the training method was not exclusive, Ye Chong would not easily pass on what Mu taught him to others. What's more, with the boy's poor body, it would take a few years to train his hand speed. It wouldn't be of any help to the current situation. Ye Chong would not do something meaningless like that.
The little boy could not help but pout and said with a displeased expression, "Petty! Who cares! "
The nebula outside the starship was boundless, like a veil wrapping the entire starship. The pale blue nebula was not a monotonous color. There were shades of different shades of the nebula, and it was hard to notice if one was not careful.
Suddenly, an empty space about 10 kilometers wide appeared on the starship's holographic screen. It was so obvious in the nebula that it was impossible to ignore it.
"Ah, that's it!" Old Jalopy stood up and pointed excitedly at the image on the holographic screen.
"What's this?" Ye Chong studied the empty space.
After a brief pause, Old Jalopy calmed down from his excitement and explained, "Thirty years ago, we followed this path to the warp point."
Everyone's spirits were greatly lifted.
"But I'm not sure if it's this path!" Old Jalopy hesitated for a moment, and said as he studied the empty space on the holographic screen.
Although this wasn't the best outcome, it was still a piece of good news for everyone. The boy's bodyguards were all excited. They had just gone through a huge battle, and had not recovered yet. Everyone looked tired. On the other hand, the knife-scarred man still had the same expressionless face that had never changed in a thousand years.
Fei Si was alone in the alchemy lab. The single wave a few days ago had destroyed many of the equipment in the lab. She was in the middle of a painstaking cleaning job. She had to complete all the work by herself. No one could help her.
The starship slowly flew into the empty space, but they were not sure which direction to go. Ye Chong was the only one who could make the decision, and he always chose random.
Flying in the Empty Path was no different from flying in the nebula. Just like there were no obstacles in the nebula, the Empty Path was no smoother than flying in the nebula.
How was this empty path formed? What was the reason that prevented the nebula from spreading over here? No one knew. There were too many unexplainable phenomena in the universe. Ye Chong would not waste his time on such a problem.
The starship flew along the empty path at high speed. As they did not know the coordinates, they could not perform a warp jump, so they had to fly normally.
On the tenth day, the monotonous scenery outside the window finally changed.
The light blue nebula was gone, replaced by a greenish-brown nebula. These greenish-brown nebulae were much thicker than the light blue nebulae. They were like greenish-brown cumulonimbus clouds, giving off a cotton-like feeling. And the most terrifying thing was that these greenish-brown nebulae were so violent and unstable.
From time to time, a streak of flame would slither in the greenish-brown nebula like a snake. The further they flew, the more obvious this phenomenon became. In the end, it was no longer one or two sparks but dancing gold snakes. Countless golden sparks were flashing and wandering in the greenish-brown nebula.
The greenish-brown nebula was full of danger. This speculation was soon confirmed.
A rock the size of a small hill slowly flew into the greenish-brown nebula from the Empty Path.
All of a sudden, it was like throwing a match into boiling gasoline. The already restless nebula immediately underwent a drastic change.
Countless golden sparks were like sharks that smelled blood. They swarmed over and surrounded the rock tightly. In the blink of an eye, the rock was completely surrounded by countless sparks. Only the outline of the rock could be seen.
From afar, the rock looked like a blazing golden ball of light. Within this blinding golden light, small sparks could be seen moving quickly.
This sudden change shocked everyone. None of them had seen this before, not even Old Jalopy the last time they were here.
But before anyone could react, the dazzling golden light had already changed. It began to shrink, shrinking inwards. The dazzling golden light was shrinking at an alarming rate. It was shrinking at a rate of one circle every three seconds.
Five minutes later, the golden light that was the size of a small hill had shrunk to a radius of one meter. Its shape also became a perfect golden ball of light.
The ball of light began to fade, and the true appearance of the rock was finally revealed to everyone. A perfect ball made of dark red magma floated quietly in the greenish-brown nebula. Occasionally, a streak of sparks would wander around it.
Everyone's expression changed.
In five minutes, a rock the size of a small hill had been reduced to a one-meter radius ball of lava. How powerful was this? At this moment, the power of the universe was presented in front of everyone in a way that no one could understand.
Ye Chong felt his scalp prickle. What would happen if the starship accidentally flew into the greenish-brown nebula? The starship would probably be melted into molten iron. Everything else, including them, would probably be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Cornerstone flew carefully along the empty path, afraid that it would accidentally fly into the greenish-brown nebula.
Fortunately, the little boy's bodyguards were very professional and trustworthy. Up until now, Rock hadn't made any mistakes.
They flew for another 10 days. Other than Fei Si, everyone spent their days in fear. Fei Si was focused on cleaning up the alchemy lab, and did not know what was happening outside.
The greenish-brown nebula began to change. The greenish-brown nebula that looked like a cumulonimbus began to fade, turning blue. More surprisingly, the nebula began to glow.
The frightening sparks that wandered around the nebula were now hard to see. The aquamarine nebula glowed blue, like a blue fairy tale world.
Compared to the violent greenish-brown nebula before them, this place was as quiet as a rich family's home. There were no sparks, no explosions, only a vast, glowing blue nebula.
Besides, unlike the greenish-brown nebula before them, this nebula was filled with floating rocks of various colors. There were so many types of rocks that Ye Chong did not recognize most of them.
The rocks were of different sizes and shapes, but they all floated quietly in the glowing blue nebula.
Ye Chong stood before the holographic screen, unblinking. His expression remained the same, but his heart was filled with shock. This place was like an exhibition of natural minerals, with many rare minerals.
"Coraplatinum!" Ye Chong's eyes swept across the floating rocks, and his eyes glowed. He could not help but exclaim, "Coraplatinum!" Ye Chong was usually calm, and there were not many things that could surprise him like this!
"Coraplatinum? Where? Where? " The young boy ran over, his pale blue eyes shining with curiosity. "There's coraplatinum here?" He stood on his tiptoes and stretched his neck, but he was still too small, and too far from the holographic screen. Tilting his head and thinking for a moment, he turned his face and hooked his finger at one of the bodyguards and said in a tender voice, "Pick me up."
The bodyguard hurried over and picked up the young boy, placing him on his shoulder.
The young boy patted the bodyguard's head and urged, "Go forward … Go forward … Okay … Stop!"
The young boy looked up and muttered, "It really is coraplatinum." He was engrossed in the holographic screen.
On the holographic screen, there was an irregular grayish-blue ore, with countless small white cross patterns on it. Each of these cross patterns was extremely exquisite, and they were in the shape of a perfect cross. From afar, coraplatinum looked like a grayish-blue rock with countless white spots. It was inconspicuous.
Ye Chong stared at the coraplatinum, his heart pounding.
Coraplatinum was what Ye Chong had been searching for all this time. It was the most important material to repair Mu and Shang. If he could find coraplatinum, Mu and Shang would have a much higher chance of repairing Mu and Shang. But before this, even Mu and Shang didn't know where this mineral called blue platinum came from.
Who would have thought that it would be here! Ye Chong stared at the holographic screen, muttering to himself.
He suddenly remembered something, and turned to the young boy. "You know about coraplatinum?" With the rarity of coraplatinum, only a handful of people would know about it. How did the young boy know about it?
Little Boy said indifferently, "Of course I know. Coraplatinum is a good thing, but it's a pity that it's rare. This is the first time I've seen the real thing." In his eyes, coraplatinum was just a rare thing.
Ye Chong turned to Old Jalopy and asked, "Professor, is this nebula dangerous?"
"I don't think so." Old Jalopy said, "The Xue Lai Clan's starship fired at us from this nebula."
"Xue Lai Clan?" Ye Chong raised an eyebrow, but could not help but ponder.
At this time, the little boy was beaming with joy and in high spirits. "Wow, Huang Hao Shi, Gui Yan, Heavenly Star Piercing …"
After a moment, Ye Chong lifted his head and said, "Enter this nebula."
The young boy looked at Ye Chong curiously. "You want coraplatinum? But why do you want it? It has a high melting point, and is difficult to extract! "
Ye Chong ignored him, and turned to the bodyguards who were piloting the starship.
The bodyguards hesitated for a moment, but quickly changed their direction and flew into the nebula.
The entry of the starship immediately caused chaos in the area. The place was originally quiet, with countless floating rocks. The rocks were densely packed together, and Cornerstone's entry quickly caused a chain reaction. The rocks that were knocked away crashed into other rocks, and some of the still rocks began to move.
This was a huge inconvenience for Ye Chong and the rest. In such a chaotic situation, it was quite a laborious task to find one's target. Cornerstone had slowed down to its lowest speed, but the situation was still becoming more chaotic.
Ye Chong kept his eyes on the coraplatinum, afraid that he would lose it if he was not careful.
Fortunately, this piece of blue platinum was not hit by the other ores. It was still floating there quietly.
Cornerstone was equipped with many mechanical arms, which made it very useful for collecting data. Ye Chong carefully operated one of the mechanical arms. When the mechanical arm caught the coraplatinum, Ye Chong heaved a sigh of relief.
The coraplatinum was larger than Ye Chong expected, weighing up to three tons.
"Such a big coraplatinum!" The little boy circled around the piece of blue platinum and touched the naturally formed snow-white cross on the blue platinum from time to time.
Ye Chong was excited. With this coraplatinum, Mu and Shang would soon be repaired. Mu and Shang only needed to repair an arm and a small part of the pilot cabin. The coraplatinum was more than enough to repair these, and there might even be leftovers.
Ye Chong looked at the chaotic situation with regret. The rocks were flying everywhere, and there was no way to collect them. It was a pity that the rare minerals were getting further and further away from Ye Chong.
Ye Chong had no choice but to order Cornerstone to leave the nebula.
Cornerstone returned to the empty path.
Cornerstone flew along the empty path for another 20 days. Just when everyone, including Old Jalopy, thought that they were going in the wrong direction, or that they were not on the empty path at all, the warp jump point that Old Jalopy had been talking about appeared before them.
The starship suddenly flew from the empty path into a large empty area.
There was no nebula in this area with a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. If the Path of Emptiness had already surprised everyone, then the huge empty space in the nebula had already made everyone feel incredible.
Old Jalopy stood up abruptly and exclaimed in joy, "Ah! It's here, it's here! "Everyone could hear the excitement in Old Jalopy's voice.
Everyone, who had been listless just a moment ago, suddenly became spirited. They all stood up and asked at the same time, "Where, where?"
"Over there!" Old Jalopy pointed at the center of the area.
In the center of this blank space, there was a flat colored disk. The colorful disk on the holographic screen was zoomed in, and the group could see it clearly. The disk was only about a kilometer in radius, made up of nebulas of various colors. Other than the light blue nebulas, green brown nebulas, and fluorescent blue nebulas that they had encountered before, there were also many more colorful nebulas, such as deep red, bright yellow … It was like an exhibition of colors. The colorful nebulas were scattered in a disorderly manner. The strangest thing was that this circle formed by countless nebulae of different colors was constantly fluctuating extremely slowly.
Circles of ripples spread out from the center of the circle at a very slow speed.
There was nothing in the center of the disk, but it was like a beating heart, causing the disk of nebula to vibrate. It was a strange sight.
"The warp jump point is the center of the disk!" Even Old Jalopy's voice seemed to be affected by the strange colorful circle, and the others could not help but feel that his voice was drifting.
