Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye,
Lin Yuan and Xilan arrived at the second transfer planet.
"This spatial channel..."
Lin Yuan looked back and said in surprise, "Establishing such a stable space channel must have required a significant price to pay."
It is relatively easy to establish a spatial channel.
An ordinary Eighth Layer peak individual could create one.
When Lin Yuan broke through to the Sixth Rank, his senior brother, the Chikun Star Lord, appeared to take Lin Yuan back to the Chikun Main Star. The crystal cube that was crushed immediately opened up a space channel to the Chikun Main Star.
The truly difficult part of a space channel lies in its stabilization and maintenance.
Especially the latter, the crystal cube created by the Chikun Star Lord consumed a lot of energy, yet, in the end, the space channel that was opened could only be maintained for two minutes?
The Main Universe itself has restorative abilities, unless a Supreme Being causes a permanent spatial rift, any other spatial disturbance will slowly return to its original state.
Therefore—
To maintain a stable space channel over a long period, energy must be supplied every moment.
This is also why only the Central Star Domain has widespread space channels, as the cost of maintaining them on a large scale within the territory of human civilization would simply be too great.
Of course, in emergency situations, such as when a battlefield arises, or Different Species have already invaded human civilization territory, with the means of human civilization, it is possible to instantly establish stable space channels throughout the entire human civilization territory.
"Yes, since no fees are charged, the cost of maintaining the space channels is borne by human civilization,"
Xilan said.
Apart from the Central Star Domain, other star regions and Star Alliances may have private space channels. If one does not wish to travel a long way, they can use those space channels by paying a steep amount of civilization currency.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
After passing through dozens of transfer planets,
Lin Yuan and Xilan finally arrived at the mother star.
"Is this the mother star?"
Lin Yuan scrutinized his surroundings closely.
The mother star is very small, smaller even than an ordinary Middle-grade Life Planet, but due to its status as the origin of human civilization, it holds a special position and is now, in a sense, the political center.
Many special and invaluable treasures, such as the Twelve-Star cosmic rarity 'Eternal Spring' and so on, are stored on the mother star.
Because the mother star is not large, entry requires strict vetting.
On the mother star, any person you might casually pass by could be a Ninth or Tenth Rank Evolver.
Of course, no matter what level of Evolver one is on the mother star, it is forbidden to exude any aura, even Eleventh-Rank Evolvers must walk obediently when it is time to walk.
"The location of the Eternal Spring is at the top of Green Mountain on the Second Continent. I don't have the authority to go any further, Galaxy Master, you can just go by yourself,"
Xilan stopped after accompanying Lin Yuan for a while and said.
"Alright."
Lin Yuan nodded.
On the road, Xilan had already given detailed maps of the mother star and some taboos to Lin Yuan. As a Ninth Rank Evolver, understanding and absorbing this was just a matter of moments.
Now, Lin Yuan's familiarity with the mother star was no less than that of the Milky Way Main Star.
Before parting,
Xilan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Galaxy Master, the 'Xuanhuang' Secret Realm is about to open, are you interested in venturing in?"
"Xuanhuang Secret Realm?"
Lin Yuan had heard of the 'Xuanhuang' Secret Realm before, as his teacher, the Chikun Star Lord, had mentioned it to him.
Moreover, the 'Mysterious Yellow' Evolution Path that Lin Yuan practiced also had a great connection with the 'Xuanhuang' Secret Realm.
"When will it open?"
Lin Yuan inquired.
"In about half a year," Xilan replied.
"At that time, many of our human Evolvers will venture into it, and so will members of Different Species,"
Xilan said.
The 'Xuanhuang' Secret Realm is not a Cosmic Secret Realm controlled by humans;
Alien Strong Ones can enter as well.
This leads to... the most danger in exploring the Secret Realm does not lie within the realm itself, but from those of Different Species.
Human civilization and those Different Species have been at war for countless years, harboring deep-seated enmity. When they meet in the Secret Realm, unless there is a greater threat, it is highly probable that they will attack each other.
"Understood."
"I'll decide when the time comes,"
Lin Yuan nodded.
He was indeed somewhat interested in the 'Xuanhuang' Secret Realm; the 'Mysterious Yellow' Evolution Path he was cultivating came from there.
Although the 'Mysterious Yellow' Evolution Path is only half-complete, stopping at the Eighth Layer, by contemplation of the first half, Lin Yuan confirmed that this path has immense potential.
It scarcely falls short of the Immortal Cultivation System of the Spirit Realm, which, according to the Main World's language, is a Supreme Evolution Path with the existence of the ultimate being.
...
Soon,
Lin Yuan followed the fixed path and reached 'Green Mountain' on the mother star.
"The top of Green Mountain..."
Lin Yuan climbed along the mountain path.
"Is this Green Mountain also a treasure?"
Lin Yuan mused with a thoughtful expression.
...
At the top of Green Mountain,
After passing through layers of identity verification, Lin Yuan finally reached the 'Eternal Spring.'
This Twelve-Star universal rarity, from the outside, looks like a white pool over ten meters in size.
Milky white spring water continuously gushes from the central area of the pool.
Even just watching it, Lin Yuan could feel a pure, gentle power coming at him head-on.
"The Eternal Spring contains the essence of eternity; any lifeform that bathes in the spring water could extend their lifespan by at least five hundred thousand years,"
Information about the 'Eternal Spring' flashed through Lin Yuan's mind.
To extend one's life by five hundred thousand years... It is said that below the level of Supreme Beings, all Evolvers have a limited lifespan. Even those who have mastered the Rule of Time and can alter their own aging process, making only one day pass for themselves while a thousand years go by in the outer world, have limits.
