Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Chapter 108 On Kamiya Star

Back at the castle, the spaceship re-entered the dark universe and accelerated to its maximum speed.

"This Shen Gu Star is really far away; even at the fastest speed, it takes twelve days to fly there."

"Young Master, where are we going?" Sasha asked.

This was Gao Sheng's first time taking them on a trip, and they were all very excited.

Actually, Gao Sheng should have only brought Ina along, but to be fair, he had no choice but to bring them both.

"Let's go find Ina's hometown."

Ina's beautiful eyes showed disbelief, tears streamed down her face, and she looked at Shui Lan'er again.

"Mom, our hometown..."

Shui Lan'er hugged Ina and nodded.

Of course, a maid who had been promoted was not qualified to call Shui Lan'er "mother," but Ina was special, as Shui Lan'er had long since recognized her as her goddaughter.

Having been in space for several years, Ina naturally knew that there was no Jade Elf race living on a planet called Yulan in the universe, and she didn't even know what her home star system was called.

Will we ever see that beautiful planet from our dreams again?

"Give it a try, I'm sure we can find it," Shui Lan'er comforted Ina. "I believe him."

"Um."

In the lounge, Gao Sheng looked at the emails on his personal terminal.

"Brother Sheng, I've arrived in Teacher's divine realm. It's so beautiful here..."

"Brother Sheng, the teacher assigned me so many lessons, oh my god, I feel like one day is not enough even if I work two days' worth..."

"Yesterday I finally learned the secret technique the teacher taught me, and the teacher was very happy..."

……

As he watched, Gao Sheng's lips curled up into a smile.

Since going to her teacher's divine kingdom, Nansi has hardly ever been to the virtual universe, only writing a letter to Gaosheng every few days.

After watching for a while, Gao Sheng's consciousness also wrote an email through the quantum computer.

"Nans, I'm going to find Ina's hometown today, which is also my mother's hometown. Wish me luck..."

Twelve days later.

"Elder, we've arrived at Kamiya Star."

"Hmm." Gao Sheng looked at the planet in the virtual landscape.

Shengu Star is a first-level administrative star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, just like Qiulong Star. However, in terms of prosperity, Shengu Star, located in the heart of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, far surpasses Qiulong Star.

The spaceship landed at the planetary port. Gao Sheng had the guards wait inside the spaceship, while he and Lan Luo exited the cabin and flew towards the slave market in Shengu City.

This slave market was much larger than the slave market on Qiulong Star, and it had no open-air stalls. Instead, it consisted entirely of rows of large indoor marketplaces, each decorated in a magnificent and exquisite style.

"There it is," Lanluo said.

Gao Sheng also saw the huge characters in the distance.

"Tianhong Planet Human Resources - Beauty Department Showroom"

Gao Sheng and Lan Luo walked towards the wide gate. There was a large group of people queuing at the entrance. This exhibition hall actually required tickets to enter.

Upon seeing Gao Sheng and Lan Luo, two cosmic-level beings, approaching, everyone kept their distance and didn't dare to even breathe.

A beautiful red-haired woman wearing a uniform with the words "Tianhong Planet" on it quickly came to greet them.

"Please come in, gentlemen."

"Oh? Isn't there an entrance fee?"

The red-haired woman smiled apologetically and said, "Of course not, gentlemen. Please follow me."

Following the red-haired woman into the exhibition hall, we found it to be enormous and divided into several sections.

There are all sorts of creatures, from regular human-like appearances and sizes to large-sized ones, and even some races that Gao Sheng finds strange and doesn't find aesthetically pleasing.

But some viewers were completely engrossed in watching.

After quickly glancing at it, Gao Sheng frowned.

"I heard there are Jade Elves here, but I haven't seen any."

"Jade Elf Clan?" The red-haired woman was taken aback. "My lord, you've come at an inopportune time. They're usually available, but it seems they stopped appearing more than ten days ago. Perhaps they were bought by someone. My lord, look at those Spirit Fox Clan members over there. They look similar to the Jade Elf Clan, but even more alluring..."

"No, I just want a few Jade Elves. Ask your manager when they'll be available."

The red-haired woman pressed the auxiliary computer on her arm, and a moment later, a bald, burly man came down the stairs.

It was Kano that Gao Sheng had found.

"My lords, do you wish to acquire the Jade Elf race?" the bald man asked enthusiastically.

"Yes, when will it be available?" Gao Sheng asked casually.

"Well, the timeframe is uncertain. It could be as short as twenty days, or as long as a month. As soon as we have the goods, I will notify you both immediately." Bald Cano respectfully handed over two business cards.

Gao Sheng accepted the business card.

"No need. I don't know how long I'll stay on Kamiya Star. If I'm still here then, I'll look for you."

"Yes, yes."

……

On their way out, Gao Sheng and Lan Luo communicated telepathically.

"You're not confident about reaching the ninth rank of the Celestial Star level?"

"Master, it's not difficult to get him to talk honestly, but I'm not sure I can keep him completely unaware of it afterward," Lanluo said.

Gao Sheng pondered deeply.

Lanluo wasn't sure. He was a fourth-order cosmic-level psychic with even stronger consciousness. Could he give it a try?

After leaving the slave market, Gao Sheng arrived at the commercial center of Kamiya City, booked an entire floor of the most luxurious hotel, and notified everyone on the spaceship to come over.

Virtual Universe, Jiuxingwan Community.

In the study, Gao Sheng carefully examined a book of secret techniques.

It was one of the secret techniques that I exchanged at Black Dragon Mountain of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance when I first became a trainee mercenary.

"What exactly does this part mean?" I wondered as I read.

"Master, are you going to practice illusion magic?" Xiao Ai asked with a grin.

"yes."

"Okay, okay, actually, with your strong will and high consciousness amplitude, being an illusionist is the most suitable profession for you," Xiao Ai said.

What is the most suitable career?

Gao Sheng shook his head secretly.

A powerful illusionist, indeed very strong.

It can kill without leaving a trace and easily control many soul slaves.

But he always felt that the profession of illusionist was too restricted.

For example, they are ineffective in group battles.

For example, there are some races in the universe for whom illusions are ineffective.

The three major enemies of the human race are the machine race, which is completely immune to illusions, and the insect race, which are masters of mental illusions. Why let illusionists deal with them?

It's only really effective against demons.

Of course, it's also very useful against humans.

Therefore, some people say that illusionists are good at infighting...

Moreover, there are very few illusionists who have truly mastered the art; it is very difficult to become an illusionist!

"Oh." Gao Sheng didn't say anything and continued reading, but soon his brows furrowed again.

"You don't understand, do you?"

"Hmm? Xiao Ai?"

Xiao Ai chuckled and said, "It would be strange if you could understand it. You've never practiced mental illusion techniques before. This book was exchanged from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, so it's not some basic secret technique."

Gao Sheng understood; it seemed he still had to start practicing from the basics.

I've arrived at my personal virtual space, which I haven't entered in a long time.

Xiao Ai pointed to a bookshelf and said, "This side, this side, this row, and this row are all basic illusions, as well as many mental energy applications that don't really count as illusions."

So many? Gao Sheng was a little stunned.

"Okay, which one should I read first?"

"We're not even looking at it," Xiao Ai laughed. "Let's go to Mercenary Island first and exchange it for a secret technique."
