The rooms prepared for the contestants were all of the best quality. All of the high-end furniture was available, and the details inside, from the red carpet under their feet, were all incomparably soft. It was obvious at a glance that it wasn't made from ordinary fur.
Number One knew that Li Xiang wanted to cultivate, so she obediently ran to the living room to read. However, before he entered the master bedroom, she still asked, "If the sister next door knocks on the door, will you open it?"
"You can open it after the Astral Voyage has officially begun. Otherwise, just say that I'm meditating," Li Xiang replied and immediately went into the room.
Number One nodded, but she was actually a little surprised.
However, when she thought about how Li Xiang was in the master bedroom, she felt relieved.
As soon as he entered the master bedroom, Li Xiang immediately took out some Origin Gas and began to cultivate the magic circuits in his brain. According to Alice's description, his strength and cultivation would also affect the wonders of the Astral Voyage, so he needed to increase his strength as much as possible. This once-in-a-lifetime Astral Voyage wouldn't be a waste.
This kind of wonder wouldn't have any effect the second time.
He noticed that there were all kinds of oil paintings hanging on the walls of the master bedroom, but the contents were all constellations. These were the various wonders of the Astral Voyage that had appeared in the past. Those who had the ability would depict them so that those who came after them could understand them.
These kinds of oil paintings naturally didn't have any effect, but they could immediately let people know what kind of wonder they had triggered. The most central one was naturally the Ascendant Constellation that Duke Siluo had seen in the past.
Ascendant Constellation was also the most complicated of all the oil paintings. Just the number of stars that formed the constellation was much more than the other oil paintings, but in Li Xiang's eyes, it was just so-so.
This world's research on the Astral Voyage wasn't very deep. Although the humans here had long since obtained terrifying strength compared to when they were on the Blue Planet, they had to constantly face the invasion and attacks of the Calamities. They devoted all of their attention to defending against the Calamities, and any unimportant research would be left behind.
Astrology and astronomy were naturally the same.
However, after carefully studying these star charts, Li Xiang suddenly had an idea. Previously, when he had looked at the runes left behind by the Night Shadow, he had felt that this kind of configuration was very strange, but it wasn't that there were no signs of it. Now that he looked at it, many of the runes actually came from a part of the star chart.
Of course, it was not a complete star chart, but a part of the star chart that had undergone some changes. However, even with all the changes, it was still the same. It could be seen that the basic structure came from here.
Li Xiang hadn't entered university yet. In fact, there was a course in university called Star Atlas. It was a very unpopular subject, but it was a real course on the basic theory of magic formations.
He continued to draw an analogy. Wouldn't the internal structure of the gun and the fine structure of the mechanical parts all be derived from this?
Imagination had to be based on a certain composition to be born, and these star charts were the foundation of the structure of all things. This allowed him to understand a lot in an instant.
After pulling his thoughts back, he began to focus on the training of the magic circuits in his brain. It would be better to speculate about the star atlas when he traveled in the sea of stars. For now, it was better to focus on training.
After he gradually immersed himself in the state of meditation, the entire Aokiji 2-7 trembled slightly, and the support device at the bottom slowly retracted. Then, countless white gas pillars suddenly shot out, slowly pushing it onto the accelerated flight path.
During this period, Elena came to visit three times. She really didn't believe that Li Xiang was still in the mood to train at this time. Most of the contestants were now relaxed after a period of intense competition activities. They were all indulging in debauchery, but every time No.1 came to her and patiently rejected her, Elena finally gave in.
This guy was really a machine fanatic, just like his sister!
It would take a few hours for Aokiji 2-7 to travel from the low-altitude zone to the deep-space zone. During this period, the entire airship's interior was open to the contestants except for a certain room on the uppermost level.
And while Li Xiang was focused on training, different scenes were playing in different rooms.
Room 1203.
Bai Jiaqi lay alone on the bed in the master bedroom, tossing and turning. She looked at the communication device in her hand and didn't know what to do. Now, there were two messages that troubled him. One was from Li Xiang, asking him to find a way to investigate a case from 14 years ago. The case itself was nothing, but when he investigated it through his connections, he suddenly found out that he had touched upon something extraordinary.
That small village was massacred by the Machinery Church. This was not uncommon in the Seven Continents. The Machinery Church's doctrine was known to all, and they were used to being tyrannical. Even if such a small village was in trouble, the military of the nearby cities could only investigate it symbolically before it was buried in a pile of files.
But who was he? He was Bai Yulou's son. He could mobilize a lot of the resources in his father's hands. Of course, the ins and outs of such a file was easy for him.
But that was the problem!
What Li Xiang said about the possibility of a little girl escaping was true. But when this matter was investigated, it was a big deal.
Information related to the little girl who survived had been strictly blocked recently. It seemed that she had recently joined an extremely secretive organization, and the person who personally organized it was Lieutenant General Kou Ruhai!
Who was that? The leader of the Southern Army's Eagle Faction, one of the top ten Army Gods.
At this point, even a second-generation rich kid like Bai Jiaqi didn't dare to continue. She hurriedly cleaned up her own mess to avoid being targeted by this big shot.
Therefore, she had been avoiding Li Xiang's questions. She didn't expect to meet him again here. It seemed that this matter couldn't be hidden anymore.
Since he actually asked her, it meant that he didn't have any friends in the Machinery Church. Otherwise, why would an outsider like him ask? But since he asked her, and her relationship with someone who could only be described as ordinary, it meant that the little girl was quite important to him.
Bai Jiaqi repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and decided to do a favor at little cost. After all, if Li Xiang really wanted to confront Lieutenant General Kou Ruhai, it was his business.
After thinking it through, she quickly typed a message and sent it to Li Xiang. Then, she frowned at another message.
It was a communication message from the Machinery Church. Normally, an outsider like her wouldn't have any restrictions. But since it was sent in such a group, it meant that there was something important to do.
But this matter was nothing else. It was to let them, the undercover members of the Machinery Church, prepare to plunder Aokiji 2-7 on their way back from the sea of stars and hunt down the star maps that all the competitors saw.
This was simply courting death!
Behind Aokiji 2-7 was Wessex. Could the Machinery Church afford to provoke such a behemoth? Even if they dared to provoke it, he didn't dare.
Wasn't this asking them, the outsider members, to be cannon fodder?
Aokiji 2-7 was responsible for traveling in the sea of stars. Even an idiot would know how strong their defense was. He didn't believe that there weren't hundreds of magicians.
"Difficult, difficult." Bai Jiaqi wanted to throw the communication device away, but she suddenly realized that her hand was trembling. She had also forwarded the internal information of the Machinery Church to Li Xiang!
Room 0129.
Bai Mumu was working on a strange tentacle-like mechanical device on the metal console. The room was filled with all kinds of strange machines. Her hobby was very strange, and she especially loved strange machines. This caused her to be incompatible with the people in her family since she was young. Her parents had no choice but to send her outside to study.
In another two years, she would be able to officially enter university to study. She had already planned her path as a Mechanic long ago and didn't plan to follow the path of a player.
At first, her family was extremely opposed to it.
Although Mechanics were powerful, the ones who truly ruled the seven continents were the players. Her parents were members of the branch family and had the qualifications to compete for the position of the head of the sixteen branch families in the future. She was the only daughter of the direct descendant. If she wasn't even a player, how could she inherit their position?
However, with the appearance of Wuxin, they finally gave in.
Bai Wuxin, the illegitimate daughter of her father and a maid. Like other aristocratic families, there was an insurmountable gap between the illegitimate and illegitimate children. However, with such a father around, Bai Wuxin was still nurtured as a noble lady.
She didn't have any say in the younger generation of the Bai family, and in the sixteen branch families, she was just one of a large group of illegitimate children. If there were no accidents in the future, she would inherit the business of one of the sixteen branch families and become a prominent upper echelon.
However, the ordinary Bai Wuxin slowly blossomed with a unique radiance after meeting Bai Mumu.
At the age of ten, she suppressed all her peers from the sixteen branch families and was even comparable to some of the famous successors of the Bai family. At the age of fourteen, she already met the qualifications of a Guardian. At that time, her body had yet to develop.
With such a girl by Bai Mumu's side as a Guardian, her parents were at ease.
What was even more peculiar was that, probably due to the high concentration of the White King's blood in her body, she had an abnormally sharp perception of the Bai family. Over the years, she had helped the sixteen branch families unearth many hidden talents. Coupled with the rise of Bai Yulou's generation and the gradual emergence of Bai Mumu and the other youngsters, the sixteen branch families had the idea of raising their ranks.
It was common knowledge that the concentration of the White King's blood directly determined the appearance of the Bai family's mark and the level of one's future achievements. Those high-ranking successors were all descendants with extremely high concentrations of the White King's blood. Even if it was only a little, it was still more outstanding than many of their peers.
Although the Bai family was one of the Five Sovereigns, it was also a prestigious family with an extremely large number of people. It was simply too difficult to stand out among them, and this little bit of blood was enough to allow one to stand out. However, many illegitimate children would give up before reaching the end. With Bai Wuxin, the sixteen branch families wouldn't miss out on any good seedlings.
At this moment, Bai Wuxin's eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist. She, who was originally cold and indifferent, was now cowering in fear under the blanket, only revealing her small head to tremble.
Bai Mumu had never seen such a state before. She was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
Due to her special physique, Bai Wuxin's reaction to the suppression of her bloodline was extremely great. However, no one in the sixteen branch families could suppress her. In two years, she would be going to university with her to study. In order to hide Wuxin's existence, her parents had spent a lot of effort to prevent her from having any chance to come into contact with prominent children like Baimiya.
This abnormality happened after she and Wuxin met Li Xiang.
At that time, Wuxin felt that something was wrong. She was a little afraid of Li Xiang and kept tugging at her skirt to signal for her to leave. When she returned to her room, her fear completely erupted.
But he's not from the Bai family. Would a member of the Bai family call himself a different surname? Bai Mumu turned to look at her. She walked over and gently stroked Wuxin's head. "Did you really feel it?"
"Mm, I-I'm so scared …" Wuxin curled up in her arms and felt a little more at ease. "H-he's like the scorching sun. I'm scared to death …"
