947 Planet East Dragon (1/2)
”Fellow passengers, we are about to arrive at our final destination, Planet East Dragon. Please remember to take all your belongings with you and disembark in an orderly manner. We hope to see you again!”
…
The captain's voice reverberated continuously during the broadcast.
”This is Planet East Dragon, humanity's number one blessed paradise?”
Huang Tianba leaned against the window, staring wide-eyed as if he had received a substantial psychological shock. ”How can this be? Heavens, my dream…”
”This is Planet East Dragon?”
Fang Yuan looked out. Within the vast darkness of space, a dark-red planet emerged.
Not only did it not have a single ounce of greenery, but the landscape was full of the distinct feeling of desolation and suffering. It looked like a terrible place, filled with emptiness and despair.
”Heavens… is the place where cultivation universities gathered like this? Shouldn't it be full of heaven and earth spiritual energy, and blessed paradises?” Huang Tianba mourned.
On the walkway, a bearded middle-aged man heard what he said and laughed aloud. ”Haha, brat. Do you know what heaven and earth spiritual energy is? No matter how much a planet can absorb, how can it compare to the vastness of space?
”According to the research done with the Scientific Cultivation Method, ancient cultivation's spiritual energy is actually radiation from the universe! Of course, it doesn't consist purely of that. It interacts with the atmosphere and the planet itself. In sum, cosmic rays go through the atmosphere and undergo a mysterious change that interacts with the planet, forming the core structure of spiritual energy!
”Now, the alliance has spent lots of resources and finally found a planet like this. It has a thin atmosphere, but its gravity is ten times that of our planet. After some calculations, the spiritual energy here, or rather, the cultivation potential here is a hundred times more than our planet!”
”Atmosphere, gravity?” Huang Tianba and Marianne exclaimed in shock.
Since they were able to make it to a cultivation university, they were top students as well. However, they realized something was not right. ”Then how did we survive at first? Wear protective suits every day?”
”You're knowledgeable. I can see you've thought about this, so I'll give you a warning. If you're a new student, don't leave the safe zone!”
The bearded man picked up his suitcase. He seemed to be a researcher.
As the ship landed gradually, everything on the planet fell within their sights.
On the surface of the brown and dark red planet, there were glowing golden spots. Many places were bare and empty. If not, there were weirdly-shaped black plants that looked like demon arms.
Only at the places where ships landed were there signs of civilization. A large protective barrier covered the entire city, ensuring that not a single dangerous organism passed through.
”Heavens… this can't be real…” Huang Tianba nearly fell to the ground in shock. ”This isn't university. It's hell!”
”Of course. Did you think that this place was like a regular university? Since you're going to be a cultivator or Arcanist, you have to carry on the responsibility of humanity!”
The middle-aged researcher left these words before picking up his bags and heading to the exit.
Suddenly, the ship stopped at its landing spot and put down the walkway. He waved his hands while walking out of the door.
”Responsibility?!”
Huang Tianba and Marianne clenched their fists, a little shocked.
”Then I'll be leaving too!”
Fang Yuan picked up his luggage and walked out of the ship. In an instant, he sensed that something was different.
The sky was a multi-colored brightness, and he could even see huge stars. Bright, hot lights shined down like burning fire.
On top of that, his body felt more oppressed, as if he had put on a weight vest.
”Gravity? And cosmic radiation! Even with protection, they intentionally chose not to adjust these things to a level suitable for ordinary people. Or rather, living on Planet East Dragon is a form of training too.”
Fang Yuan had a realization.
After he walked out of the platform, he saw a huge landing before him. Lots of people were swarming this area, with many young men and women raising boards to pick up people.
This scene left him with a warm and familiar feeling.
He walked to East Dragon University's gathering spot.
