From Mortal Body to Immortality

“Hiss!”

The Tongtian warship steadily landed outside the No. 3 Life Star, on a giant green leaf. Lu Sheng rubbed his temples and couldn't help but gasp.

“The burden of near light speed almost made me feel like my internal organs were shifting. No wonder the planetary-class warships at Star River University, equipped with functions to offset the load, are so expensive.”

“This is still under the condition that my cultivation has improved a bit. It took me several minutes to recover. If it were someone just entering the fourth level… I'm afraid it would take ten minutes or more to recover.”

As soon as he stepped off the Tongtian warship, a wave of weightlessness and lack of oxygen hit him.

Even though a fourth-level martial artist no longer needs air, it was Lu Sheng's first time entering space with a pure physical body.

It was somewhat difficult to adapt.

Perhaps it was because Lu Sheng had been down for a while, an impatient voice rang out in the team communication channel: “Hurry up! Let's finish the task quickly so we can go back sooner.”

Lu Sheng frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

Du Bai took a deep look at the young man who had spoken and said calmly, “These vine worms feed on the energy dissipated by the Tongtian vines, but most of the time, they are active outside the Tongtian vines. So, we need to hunt them on the outside of the Tongtian vines. That's why everyone who takes on this task is a fourth-level martial artist.”

As soon as he said this, the young man, who had just been impatient, immediately froze.

He understood the other meaning of Du Bai's words, but because he cared too much about his face, he let out a cold snort.

The other four didn't say much. They put away their interstellar warships, took a step forward, and walked out of the position where the huge green leaf was, arriving at the outer space of the Tongtian vine, which is the outer space area.

“See that? That's a vine worm!”

“Go and feel it first. I'll be by your side.”

Du Bai and Lu Sheng also arrived in the space area, pointing to a pure white worm not far away.

The vine worm was generally milky white, and its body was somewhat fat, somewhat similar to the caterpillars of the old era, but on top of the vine worm's head were two sickle-like antennae.

A faint cold light flickered on the antennae.

“This is just an ordinary vine worm. Kill a few first and familiarize yourself with their attack methods.”

Du Bai said. Lu Sheng nodded, took a step forward, instantly arrived near the vine worm, and pushed out a punch horizontally. The power of the five elements burst out instantly.

The ordinary vine worm didn't even have time to react. Its fat body was directly pierced, and milky white liquid splashed out.

Lu Sheng was quick, directly collecting the vine worm's flesh into the Five Elements Small World.

“Third level—too weak.”

Lu Sheng recalled the feeling just now. It was no different from killing an ant. The gap between the third level and the fourth level is a gap in the level of life!

Du Bai walked to Lu Sheng's side and said with a smile, “So this task is for the old students who have just entered the fourth level and the new fourth-level students to practice. The school also releases such tasks every day.”

“Speaking of which, after this mission is over, plus the income from selling you that Tongtian warship, I will almost be able to gather the last resources for the Titan. Then I will be able to pilot the Titan.”

When he spoke of the Titan, Du Bai's eyes flashed with a bright light again.

“Then I must congratulate Senior Du Bai.”

Lu Sheng responded with a smile.

Du Bai had spent thirty years for a Titan, and now he was about to collect enough. Lu Sheng also congratulated him.

“However, I still can't figure out why Titans are so expensive.”

Lu Sheng was a little puzzled. Clearly, a planetary-level cultivation technique only cost a few hundred credits. Even some stellar-level knowledge wasn't as expensive as a Titan.

Moreover, Du Bai's Titan was clearly targeted at the fourth level.

“You don't know this, do you?”

Faced with Lu Sheng's doubts, Du Bai wasn't annoyed, just explaining with a smile, “Don't look at our Star River University as one of the three major star system forces, and the Life School as one of the top five research schools, but for the students of the entire Life School, the fourth level is already their lifelong pursuit.”

“After all, the resources required to break through from the fourth level to the fifth level are too much, so much that an ordinary fourth-level transcendent person will hardly be able to collect enough in their lifetime.”

“Plus the limitations of talent, age, etc. —”

As Du Bai spoke, a trace of yearning emerged on his face: “But I am different. Although I am still only a fourth level so far, I yearn to stand higher and see farther. I also want to be able to see the scenery of the sixth level with my own eyes one day!”

“As long as my Titan is built, with my current late-stage fourth-level cultivation, with the Titan, I can even reach the early-stage fifth level.”

“In this way, it will be easier for me to obtain resources. After all, the fields that a fifth-level combat power and a fourth level can access are already different. After the fourth level, each level is a world of difference.”

“Our New Martial Arts faction all knows that Titans are ultimately just external means, but if external means can increase your strength, using fifth-level combat power to earn the resources for a fourth-level breakthrough to the fifth level, isn't it easier?”

“Even in our Life School, many martial artists of the Ancient Martial Arts faction also use external forces such as Titans to improve their strength, thereby earning more cultivation resources.”

“Plus, Titans are growth-type. Spending 30,000 credits to buy a Titan that belongs to you,

it seems a bit expensive now, but when you reach the fifth level, and then the sixth level, you will find that 30,000 credits is nothing.”

Listening to Du Bai's words, Lu Sheng understood.

There was a reason for the high price. Du Bai had already laid out the reasons for the high price of Titans in front of Lu Sheng.

“Moreover, although Titans are only external forces, they actually increase one's own strength. Even at the sixth level, the Titans developed by our Life School can bring huge gains.”

Du Bai said with some pride.

“Even in our Star River University, there are schools that specialize in Titan research. The special models of Titans they develop can even burst out with eighth-level combat power!”
