Chapter 2

"32 million credit points!"

Qin Tianji's heart clenched tightly.

In his entire life, he had never seen so much money.

Even though he was a graduate of Starlight University and an elite student, fully qualified to enter the upper echelons of society, after graduation, finding a job with an annual salary of 100,000 credit points would have been enough to satisfy him.

In other words, it would take him 320 years of hard work to save up 32 million credit points, and that was under the condition of not eating, drinking, or spending anything.

"Developing the potential of the physical body, elevating the level of life, extending one's lifespan, and reaching the pinnacle, one can tear apart mechs with their physical body... No wonder, the humans in this world have such high danger levels!"

After a while, Qin Tianji finally recovered from the shock of the 32 million credit points.

After the shock, his heart gradually calmed down.

Born into an ordinary family, he could cultivate to become a ninth-level mental energy user, one of the top 100 students at Starlight University, one of the most famous universities in the Federation, all because he always maintained a calm mind.

"Is there any detailed memory about the cultivation system?"

"Memory is incomplete. The current memory is divided into levels one to nine for swordsmen. After level nine, one becomes a grand swordsman. After the grand swordsman, one becomes a sword master. Achieving the rank of sword master extends one's lifespan by 200 years. Above the sword master, there is a vague concept of the sword venerable stage, which can extend one's lifespan by a thousand years. Specific memories about the sword venerable stage are missing and cannot be located."

"A thousand years! Living for a thousand years! Isn't that like a god or immortal!?"

Humans, becoming gods or immortals!?

For a moment, the fear of arriving in an unknown star domain and a strange planet was quietly dispelled, replaced by a strong shock at the physical cultivation system of this world.

"Vague concept, please supplement the database for specific answers."

"Gods or immortals! Humans, possessing the power of gods or immortals!"

Qin Tianji felt that this body was much stronger than his original one, and although he remained calm, the blood in his body was subtly boiling.

"Never thought... humans could cultivate to such a terrifying realm! Even mental masters in the Federation can't live for a thousand years."

Suppressing the urge to quickly complete the database and understand this world, Qin Tianji calmed himself down again.

However, as soon as he calmed down, he immediately recalled the scene when the starship was hit by a space storm...

Vaguely, he seemed to hear a voice, vast and resonant, echoing throughout the soul world and the star world.

"Blue sky above."

Qin Tianji muttered to himself.

After those four words, the starry sky was swept by the storm, and everything was destroyed.

Mechanical systems failed, the stars he could see with his naked eye all collapsed, the dimensions of the universe were severely damaged, and countless black holes filled his field of vision...

Then...

He should have appeared in the outer space of this planet, swept by the space storm. When his consciousness recovered, the starship was on the verge of crashing, and he was the only survivor who escaped through the escape pod. However, due to the high-risk ejection, he ultimately couldn't save his life and was blown to pieces by the damaged escape pod.

Fortunately, his spirit was strong, and under the protection of the soul chip, he possessed a human body, thus ensuring his soul's survival.

"Can a human being cause a space storm that sweeps the universe? Was that voice... an illusion? Number Two?"

"Drip! Information search in progress! Drip, search result: 'Number Two' was forced to shut down due to unknown interference and did not leave any related data."

"Shut down..."

Considering that all the mechanical systems on the entire starship had failed, Qin Tianji was not surprised that 'Number Two' was forced to shut down.

"Is that really the realm that human power can reach? Humans can be so powerful!?"

The space storm that filled the entire world was replayed in his mind, and Qin Tianji felt a sense of indescribable tremor rising in his heart!

That realm!

Humans can be so powerful!

"Blue sky above!"

Qin Tianji growled, even though he was usually calm, he clenched his fists, trembling, unable to control himself.

"If my life can reach such an achievement, I will have no regrets in this lifetime!"

...

"However, having personally experienced such a grand and magnificent scene, if I don't strive for that direction and that realm in this lifetime, how can I, Qin Tianji, be content!?"

...

"Blue sky above!"

Repeating these words, it was a mix of reverence, enthusiasm, desire, determination, and yearning!

...

After a long time, Qin Tianji's agitated spirit gradually calmed down.

It seemed that the bowl of meat soup had taken effect, and Qin Tianji could already feel that he had regained some strength.

"A skyscraper rises from the ground. I am the young master of the Yunlai Sword Sect, which has produced eighth-level dangerous creatures. Reaching the level of an eighth-level dangerous creature is the first step towards that transcendent realm."

Thinking this, Qin Tianji was eager to get out of bed and learn more about the Yunlai Sword Sect, which could produce eighth-level dangerous creatures.

"Hmm?"

As soon as he planned to get out of bed, Qin Tianji immediately felt a strong sense of discomfort between his spirit and body, and between his body and the outside world... This discomfort...

"Number Two, environmental analysis!"

"Drip! Environmental analysis in progress, estimated time 32 seconds... Analysis result: The air composition of this planet is 2.6 times higher than the most suitable human habitat, Paradise Star, in the Federation. It contains a large amount of beneficial elements. The planet's gravity is 6.2 times the standard gravity. The air contains unknown elements, and the component analysis is in progress..."

"6.2 times the gravity, no wonder. Living on such a planet, even an ordinary person would become a superhuman in the Federation. My escape from the escape pod failed, and the difference in gravity was probably the main reason. The starship crashing onto this planet was likely due to being captured by this planet's gravity. 6.2 times the gravity, if I want to re-enter space, the escape velocity would have to be extremely fast..."

After a brief calculation, Qin Tianji was stunned on the spot.

After a moment, he shook his head forcefully.

"Even if the starship can be repaired, it can't fly out of this planet... I can never return to that familiar star system with that starship. Unless I can become as powerful as that great being, with the ability to cause a space storm, destroying the universe and crossing it would be easy."

Understanding his current situation, Qin Tianji immediately entered a meditative state.

Meditation.

The best method to recover one's spirit. In the Galactic System, only one in ten thousand people can enter a meditative state. However, as a ninth-level mental energy user who was almost part of the noble circle, Qin Tianji was a genius among a million. If he didn't have exceptional mental energy cultivation talent, how could he have reached the ninth level without any resources?

Through meditation, in just half a day, his mental state had significantly improved. Although he wasn't at his peak, he could walk around without any problem.

"6.2 times the gravity, truly terrifying. After reaching the ninth level of mental energy, my mental waves can actually extend outside my body, affecting the external world, allowing me to control objects, sense the environment, and perform other feats that ordinary people can't achieve. However, in a 6.2 times gravity environment, the omnipresent pressure from nature makes it difficult for my mental waves to spread, almost completely cutting off my perception of the outside world. I can't use any of my abilities, and at best, I'm just a person with heightened sensitivity."

A ninth-level mental energy user, in that world, was definitely among the elite. If he became a mech knight, he would have the terrifying ability to influence a small-scale war. However, here, he couldn't even control his surroundings.

"The previous testing methods can no longer be used as a standard. It seems I need to update the database, Number Two!"

"Drip! Waiting for instructions."

"Analyze my physical strength and mental energy level. Ninth-level mental energy user, mental energy level 1. Fourth-level swordsman, physical strength level 1."

"Drip! Database update complete! Host Qin Tianji, age 19, mental energy level 1, physical strength level 1, cultivation level fourth-level swordsman, cultivation method: Cloud Sea Tide Technique."

"Update the data of Qin Huailing, Qi Lingyun, and Qin Yuyan."

"Drip! According to the data read from memory, seventh-level swordsman, containing unknown energy, unable to analyze. Please provide a sample."

"Seventh-level swordsman contains unknown energy, using the term from memory: True Qi."

"Drip! Term recorded."

For a ninth-level swordsman, levels one to three focus on physical training, which is the initial stage of cultivation. Levels four to six involve refining internal energy, which is the intermediate stage. Levels seven to nine involve refining True Qi to nourish the body, which is the advanced stage. A grand swordsman is the pinnacle of the swordsman stage, and once True Qi is liquefied, one can advance to the sword master stage. These are common knowledge, and Qin Tianji's memory retained this information.

Controlling his body, Qin Tianji finally got out of bed, adapted slightly, and quickly left his room.

"As I suspected, from the clothing and appearance of those people and the fragmented memories, this is a civilization focused on cultivation, with a technological level roughly equivalent to the years 1000 to 1500 in our world."

Looking at the buildings, courtyards, pavilions, and gardens with a medieval architectural style, even though Qin Tianji had obtained information from this body's memory and was mentally prepared, the scene still gave him a strong impact.

"A new world."

Taking a deep breath, Qin Tianji took a step out of his room, officially entering this new world.
