Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 47 Blue Sky's Worries

The City of Leisure is vast, the largest city in the Endless Sea, boasting the largest population and the most powerful individuals. Countless ancient sites are scattered throughout the inner city, the main city, with sculptures, statues, and palaces dotting the valley. The buildings are tall and magnificent, resplendent in gold, and the temples and monasteries are bustling with worshippers.

Today, Lan Tian and his companions made a special trip to the inner city. In a thriving temple, the courtyard was surrounded by over a dozen statues of humans, demons, sea creatures, winged beings, and beastmen, both men and women. Among them, Lan Tian spotted statues of two elderly figures from his own soul's sea, strikingly similar: Lan Zun Lan Di and Demon Zun Mo Qitian. "Are these the two of them?" Lan Tian muttered, unsure. He'd ask again when they got back! However, Lan Tian didn't find a statue of his master among them. Was his master less powerful than these people? His master was clearly incredibly profound; the other world was his creation. Even such an unfathomable figure wasn't as powerful as these guys. It seemed these people were truly incredibly powerful and unfathomable high-level experts.

There are many different sects and families cultivating here. This makes it difficult for Lan Tian and the others to grasp the profound concepts. That evening, back at the hotel, Lan Tian secluded himself to cultivate, telling them not to disturb him unless necessary, as he needed to focus on his cultivation for a few days and would look for them when he emerged.

After seeing the two statues, Lan Tian sensed that these two old men were no ordinary people and was determined to find out more. Therefore, he used the excuse of needing to cultivate in seclusion to ascertain the identities of these two senior figures. Lan Tian sat cross-legged and quickly entered a meditative state, his consciousness returning to his soul's sea of ​​consciousness, once again near his true body. Soon, he noticed the two elderly seniors approaching him, smiling broadly and looking excited.

"You knew I came to see you, didn't you?"

"Yeah, your performance today was quite surprising, wasn't it?"

"Very surprised and astonished."

"Then let us explain it to you..."

Lan Di said, "We are both Venerables of the Blue Card Starfield, the supreme controllers of this starry sky. In the outer space of the Blue Card Starfield, Qi Tian and I discovered your existence. At that time, you were conceived in a blue crystal. We both wanted to obtain you, but you just broke out of the crystal and absorbed a large amount of cosmic energy from the surroundings, absorbing us into your body as well. At that time, we couldn't resist your absorption power together. You absorbed our energy attribute skills and turned them into your foundation, imprisoning us in your soul sea. You absorbed for a full eighty-one days, flying in space for an unknown amount of time, before finally crashing into the Mensom Mountains. Perhaps you are destined to meet me, and my descendants found you and raised you as a member of the Lan family. That's how it's been all along. You know the rest yourself!"

Mo Qitian said, "Good lad, you're really something. You managed to injure one of my four guardians, Qihua, so badly. You'll definitely be highly regarded in the future and achieve great things. I don't know what happened with the Demon Clan right now, but once I get out, I'll investigate and give you all an explanation. You can trust me, Old Man Lan. Whoever made the mistake, I'll punish them. What do you say? Lan Tian, ​​we've never even met your master. That old senior is more powerful than any of us. Anyone who dares to bully you will be killed. I hope you grow up quickly. Once you reach the ninth rank, we might have a chance to get out! You can't die, or we'll both be buried with you. Sigh!"

"Thank you both, seniors! I will definitely work harder to rescue you," Lan Tian said. He didn't know how to summon them for help, or how to call upon them at any time. Although they couldn't use attribute skills, their methods and knowledge were far beyond Lan Tian's reach. He hoped to receive guidance from them when necessary. Lan Tian could see and hear their every move, but others couldn't see or hear them. They could only appear as phantoms or make sounds when Lan Tian was unconscious. Lan Tian didn't yet know how to control their appearance. He wasn't entirely familiar with his own body and true form and needed to gradually adapt and understand them. In any case, improving his cultivation was essential; he needed to grow stronger as quickly as possible, as there were still many things he didn't understand!
He originally wanted to ask his master for guidance, but his master wasn't always online and didn't know which interstellar space he was traveling to. Time was limited, and he couldn't meet with him for too long, otherwise his master would consume too much energy and become a burden. Thinking about it, Lan Tian felt that it was more reliable to cultivate slowly and advance step by step. Only by improving his physical fitness and advancing his attributes and skills could he get the answers he wanted.

For several days, Lan Tian didn't leave his house, remaining immersed in his sea of ​​consciousness. He was cultivating his soul consciousness, exploring how to control his own, how to manipulate others', and how to read their soul consciousness. Within a person's sea of ​​consciousness lay the experiences and emotions of their entire life. Reading their sea of ​​consciousness meant understanding their life's journey. It was a long and interconnected process.

Lan Tian is now worried. Will these two seniors pose a danger to him? They pose no threat now that they're within his sea of ​​consciousness, but once they emerge, will he be a match for them? They came here specifically to obtain him! What will he do when he reaches the ninth rank? Should he cultivate to the ninth rank as quickly as possible? He's already at the eighth rank, considered a powerful figure, and with his current resources, challenging a ninth-rank expert is no problem, nor would he be killed. Lan Tian is still completely unfamiliar with this land and this starry sky, and he feels much confusion about his origins and future. He doesn't even understand himself!

Lan Tian woke up feeling incredibly hungry, so he quickly called Xiao Weiqing and Yingying to go out for a lavish meal—their first big meal since arriving in Xiaoyao City. They went to the most luxurious restaurant in the outer city and ordered the most expensive dishes and the finest wines, enjoying a delicious and satisfying meal. The prices here were astonishing; their meal cost them a month's worth of food expenses in Xiangyang City! It hurt! Yingying regretted it as they left, saying, "If I'd known it was so expensive, I would have just eaten snacks from the street vendors; I could have eaten like that for a month!" Seeing their reluctance, Lan Tian smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, we'll be very rich in the future, with more money than you can spend as you please," Lan Tian said.

"Yes, Brother Blue Sky, I believe you."

"So where are we going now? Are we still staying in Xiaoyao City?" Xiao Weiqing asked.

"We're heading back to Xiangyang now. We'll be back here soon!" Lan Tian said, leading them back to the hotel to pack their luggage and head home.
