289: C289 A New Life Planet

C289 A New Life Planet

At the bottom of the dead and dark ocean, two glowing figures suddenly appeared. They were Lu Chong and Zheng Laozi.

Elder Zheng was now a Level 5 Martial Emperor, and he had the ability to dive into the ocean.

However, compared to Lu Chong, who was able to do it with ease, he still looked a little difficult.

"Elder Zheng, this is the place." Lu Chong accurately found the location of the stone tablet and saw the undersea tunnel that was glowing with silver-gray light.

"It really is a magical sealing formation." Elder Zheng walked around the entrance of the tunnel and exclaimed.

"Get ready. Wait for me to open the formation. You wait here for now."

Elder Zheng looked at Lu Chong with a serious expression and reminded him, "If I'm not back within three days, you'd better not take the risk to go in."

"After all, the words on the stone tablet were left over a thousand years ago. There's no way to verify it." Elder Zheng.

Lu Chong nodded and did not refute Elder Zheng at this moment.

He knew that Elder Zheng reduced the risk of his position to the lowest in order to help him scout the way.

If he did not agree, Elder Zheng would probably not agree to let him enter the passageway.

Seeing Lu Chong agree, Elder Zheng turned his head and faced the formation at the passageway once more. His fingers continuously shot out strands of aura-qi.

This scene was as if he was unlocking a very complicated chain lock, or rather, multiple encryption locks.

It was not that Elder Zheng was proficient in formations, but it was taught to Elder Zheng by Qin Yulan and the other professors after they worked together to research and decipher the method.

He only needed to follow the steps, and he could open the seal that had lasted for over a thousand years.

Even so, Elder Zheng took more than half an hour to open the seal formation under Lu Chong's dazzling hand gestures.

The moment the formation was opened, the six translucent crystals floating at the entrance lost their support and were sucked into Elder Zheng's hand.

"These should be the energy crystals that have been condensed with high-pressure energy. You should keep them first. They are useful in Silver Star Realm." Elder Zheng handed the six crystals to Lu Chong.

When Lu Chong received the crystal stones, he immediately felt his Qi Accepting Spell circulating at high speed, absorbing the energy from the crystal stones.

"This speed isn't any slower than when I was cultivating in the Nutrient Cabin." Lu Chong was shocked as he realized how precious this crystal was.

He did not continue absorbing, but placed it in his bosom and used Stellar Energy to block it.

"I'll keep it for later."

At the same time, Lu Chong and Elder Zheng could faintly feel that the surrounding seawater seemed to tremble for a moment, transmitting to an unknown distance.

It was like... a large scale earthquake.

Elder Zheng looked at Lu Chong and said with an excited expression, "Once the seal is broken, the global environment will change, but it will also need time to slowly change."

"We won't be able to see it for the time being."

Lu Chong nodded. Seeing that Elder Zheng was about to enter the tunnel, he could not help but say, "Elder Zheng, be careful. Your safety is the most important."

At this moment, the seal had been opened, but the surrounding seawater still did not enter the silver-gray passageway. It was enough to show how magical it was.

Elder Zheng smiled casually. "There's nothing to be afraid of. I've lived long enough."

"My life has already been worth it. What's there to be unsatisfied about being able to explore the outside world of Blue Star before the end of my life?"

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Chong's advice, Elder Zheng resolutely jumped into the passageway. Very quickly, he turned into a black dot and disappeared into an unknown and dangerous passageway.

Lu Chong clenched his fist, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

However, he did not sigh too much. Instead, he sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave and quietly waited for Elder Zheng's return.

According to the stone tablet, this Interspatial Wormhole could lead to the Silver Star Realm, and it could also return at the same time, and it would take a very long time.

Therefore, the three days that Elder Zheng had agreed on should be more than enough.

Not only Lu Chong, but Lee Qianqiu and Chen Wudi, as well as the research team that accompanied them, were also waiting anxiously on the surface of the sea.

They could not dive into the bottom of the sea, but they could see the situation at the bottom of the sea through Lu Chong's observation equipment.

After Flood Dragon Emperor caused havoc in Blue Star, this ocean had become the territory of Flame Country. Without the permission of Flame Country, the people of other countries were forbidden from approaching.

Even the mutated beast in the nearby sea had been cleared by Lu Chong during the special training some time ago.

Flame Country had even built a military fortress on the nearest island, and there would be a Peak of Martial King guarding it all year round.

After the fall of the west, the half-finished Level 6 genetic medicine had also disappeared without a trace.

In the current Blue Star, there was only the Level 6 genetic medicine that Flame Country had developed first.

It was not an exaggeration to say that there were no other countries or powers that could compete with the Flame Country.

"Brother Zheng, don't let anything happen to you. No matter what, you still have forty to fifty years left to live. Why do you have to risk your life?" Chen Wudi was a little worried.

Lee Qianqiu glanced at his old friend, who could be considered to have put his life on the line, and continued to wait silently.

In fact, he was also sighing in his heart.

From the perspective of the country and Blue Star, this trip was inevitable.

Otherwise, not to mention 40 to 50 years, Flame Country would not be able to withstand the invasion of Alfano Star six years later.

Perhaps there would be a chance of survival if they went to explore the starry sky now.

If he did not need to oversee the capital and carry a heavy responsibility, Lee Qianqiu would rather be the pathfinder himself.

As time passed, the people at the bottom of the sea had never felt that time passed so slowly.

Everyone knew that Elder Zheng's success or failure this time was related to the life and death of Flame Country. How could they not be nervous?

One day, two days...

At 3: 30 PM on the third day, Lu Chong, who was sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the sea, suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a surprised expression. "He's here!"

As expected, after a few minutes, a thin figure flew out from the passageway. It was Elder Zheng, whose face was slightly pale.

However, although he looked very tired, Elder Zheng's mood was very high, and he seemed very excited.

Lu Chong's heart moved. He looked at Elder Zheng with anticipation.

The corner of Elder Zheng's mouth slightly split open, "It's true. There really is an Interspatial Wormhole at the end of the passageway, and it can lead to an unknown Viable Planet."

"Time is tight. In order to prevent any unexpected changes, I didn't check it carefully. However, I also saw some creatures that I have never seen before near the wormhole." Elder Zheng said.

"And for the time being, I didn't sense any danger."

Lu Chong let out a long sigh of relief. Although it was just a preliminary exploration, as long as there were signs of life there, it would be feasible.1

"Let's go. I gathered some basic data and materials and gave them to them first. After that, we will go together."

Lu Chong and Elder Zheng returned to the surface of the sea once again and passed Elder Zheng's findings and collected items to the research team.

After that, in just an hour, the research team came to a preliminary conclusion.

The basic ecological environment of the place Elder Zheng had arrived at was 80% similar to the Blue Star. It was very habitable.

This was undoubtedly a shocking discovery. At least it proved that they had found the right place. They had really found the Viable Planet that they could reach outside the Blue Star.

Chen Wudi and Lee Qianqiu were also pleasantly surprised. Of course, they knew what this meant.

"I will collect more data and information according to the plan. Then, I will bring them back at random times." Elder Zheng said.

There was one more thing that Elder Zheng did not say. He would come back from time to time to tell them that they were still alive.

"There's no time to lose. We'll set off now."
