The runic airship entered the "city entrance" tunnel. After passing through the airship security check and going through layers of procedures, it finally arrived at the payment area.
This was a long tunnel with many airship tracks. In front of each track was a Purple Lightning Magnetic Field Net. If a spaceship did not pay and forcibly charged through, the electromagnetic waves of the Purple Lightning Magnetic Field Net would immediately destroy the system of the spaceship, causing the entire spaceship to be destroyed.
This seemed to be the capital's demonstration to all outsiders.
Ye Chen asked the old Green Rune Man to park the runic airship at the side. According to the order, they paid 100 False God Stones to enter the city. Only then did the Purple Lightning Magnetic Field Net in front of them disappear. This pause time was only three seconds. After the runic airship rushed over, the Purple Lightning Magnetic Field Net appeared again and intercepted the next spaceship.
After passing through the Purple Lightning Magnetic Field Net, the runic airship, under the guidance of an aviation robot attendant, came to a vast starry sky. In this starry sky, many spaceships were parked, arranged according to the stars. If necessary, they could ask the attendants to repair the spaceship or do some maintenance work.
Ye Chen sat on the sofa and called Little Black in front of him. With a flip of his hand, he flipped open the Second Grade Genius Hall Genius Medal and threw it to Little Black. He instructed, "Give this to the attendants. We can directly take the VIP route, the outer city airlines of the capital."
Little Black received the glittering gold medal that had a scarlet flame border. He looked at it admiringly and said with a chuckle, "No problem." As he said this, he turned around and walked out of the runic airship. He began communicating with the robot attendant outside.
The airline attendants here were mostly robots from various civilizations. Most of them were products of the mechanical civilization. They had advanced intelligence systems and could carry out humanized service, as well as simple communication and identification.
Moreover, as this was the city gate, although the robot attendants here only had a service job, they were all extremely strong. Moreover, their brain chips were installed with information about the various forces of the Yanshen Empire, as well as the totems, medals, and tokens of each force. These were all recorded in the chips.
Therefore, they only needed to show the Genius Medal to be identified.
Not long after, Little Black returned and said with a smile, "It's done."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and stretched out his hand.
Little Black scratched his head and said, "What?"
Ye Chen glanced at him. "Medal."
Blackie was immediately discouraged. He pouted and slowly took out the Genius Medal from his bosom. He muttered, "It hasn't even warmed up yet …"
After showing the badge, the runic spaceship directly switched to the VIP route. It sped along the route and arrived at the outer city of the Yanshen Empire.
The entire area of the Imperial Capital was vast and boundless, spanning nearly ten light years. If one light year was calculated as more than 900 million kilometers, one could imagine its diameter.
With the speed of the runic airship, it would take at least seven to eight years to fly from the outer city of the imperial capital to the headquarters of the Genius Hall in the inner city. Fortunately, the transportation within the imperial capital was very developed. In every major city, there were wormholes and transition tunnels on the streets.
With the benefits of the Genius Medal, the runic spaceship's journey was extremely smooth. Through the spaceship's satellite system, it was able to search for the nearby space station and constant light channel.
This constant light channel was an ordinary means of transportation in the ancient world. It was a channel made of light, and its internal structure was similar to a black hole. It had a strong suction force and was ten times faster than light speed. However, it was not a space transition and was suitable for short-distance transportation within the big cities.
Other than the constant light channel, there was also the warp channel. This warp channel was built using the warp flight theory of the spaceship and was produced by the Heaven civilization. It could allow any object to enter warp flight inside.
This idea had only appeared in theory before. Later, through various experiments, it was no longer a theory and a dream. It had become a reality.
The runic spaceship found the signals emitted by several warp channel stations. It sped toward a nearby warp channel station and landed at the airport.
Little Black took out the Genius Medal and skipped all the procedures. He directly entered the VIP channel of the warp channel. The amount spent was completely free.
In the Imperial Capital, as long as the spending didn't exceed one million Pseudo God Stones, it would be free.
Inside the warp tunnel, Ye Chen chose to fly at twenty-two times the warp speed. Normal spaceships could only fly at nine times the warp speed, and at most, they could fly at eleven times the warp speed. However, for a runic spaceship, the technology it contained was not something a normal spaceship could compare to. It could easily reach twenty times the warp speed.
This warp channel station was not luxurious. The highest it could reach was twenty-two times warp speed.
After traveling in the warp channel for eight days, Ye Chen returned to the Demon God Palace's cultivation room and activated the time acceleration system inside. Eight days had passed outside, but two and a half years had passed inside!
In these two and a half years, Ye Chen's understanding of the Seven Star Painting became clearer. Other than that, he also cultivated Sky Blind and the Flame God's Hammer!
At that time, with Ye Chen's state of mind, it had been difficult for him to carve the symbols of the Flame God Hammer after he had reached the sixth layer. Now, after he had seen the Seven Star Picture, those mysterious and complicated symbols in his mind seemed to have become much clearer. He could now carve them smoothly like moving clouds and flowing water.
When he reached the seventh level and was 198 energy runes away from success, he started to feel rusty. His carving speed also slowed down. It became extremely difficult.
Ye Chen did not bite off more than he could chew. He slowly carved while comprehending the Seven Star Painting. This was very important. Once he comprehended all ninety-nine star paintings, he would be able to touch the door of the Divine Spirit Realm and step into the True God Realm!
Eight days later, the spaceship entered the warp channel. The runic spaceship came to the space wormhole and directly traveled a long distance from the outer city of the Imperial Capital to the central city.
The space wormhole in the Imperial Capital had stable negative energy. The warp distance was usually four to five light years. If one wanted to warp from the outer city to the inner city in one go, they would need to take the VIP warp channel.
With the detection device of the runic spaceship, there were no VIP-class wormholes within a radius of one million kilometers. They simply took this short-distance wormhole and came directly to the middle city without any expenses. Then, they went through another warp and successfully came to the inner city.
The inner city of the Imperial Capital was even more prosperous. The sky was filled with stars. The artificial atmosphere had a projection effect. Whatever kind of sky one wanted was completely controlled by the Imperial Capital's weather bureau. It was as simple as changing the background image of a computer.
At this moment, the artificial sun in the sky was shining with warm light that was full of vitality. It sprinkled on the people on the bustling streets. The entire street was spacious. In the middle of the street was a clear river with a diameter of a thousand feet. On top of it was a passage for ships and yachts. One could go shopping on the water.
Beside it was a starlight elevator. It was not a stone floor but a crystal-like glass floor. Inside it was a reflection of the distant starry sky. It was like walking in space, giving people a sense of unreal beauty.
Luxurious, beautiful, exquisite!
Ye Chen was completely shocked by what he saw. He had never seen such a scene in anime. He did not expect it to actually exist in front of his eyes. How much manpower and materials did it take to accomplish all of this?
After coming out of the wormhole station, Ye Chen put away the runic spaceship and rented a floating light car. It was about the size of a motorcycle and could only carry one person. It could travel at a speed of three thousand kilometers per hour, faster than ordinary passenger planes on Earth (ordinary passenger planes could travel at a speed of two hundred kilometers per hour).
The passenger of the floating light car was a petite woman. Her figure was exquisite and beautiful like jade. Her ears were long and pointed. She was an elf. There was a faint fragrance on her body. After Ye Chen boarded the car, she politely asked, "Where would you like to go?"
"A nearby space station," Ye Chen said.
"Please sit tight."
The elf woman activated the floating light car's wind-shielding energy shield and then turned on the intelligent navigation system. After the engine started, the floating light car carried two people and floated to a certain height. The thrusters at the back ejected two white gas and swept into the distant sky like a cloud.
The floating light car galloped in the sky. The scenery of the city streets below was clearly visible. Looking down from high up in the sky, there was an extremely comfortable feeling. Due to the windshield, they did not feel the biting cold wind at all, so there was no need to squint.
Not long after, the floating light car followed the flight path and arrived at a space station 1,200 kilometers away. After Ye Chen paid 600 pseudo-divinity stones, he got off the floating light car and went to the space station.
In the space station, there was a city management department's passenger spaceship. Ye Chen checked the flight path and found that it was a passenger flight TP-394 that went straight to the Imperial Capital's inner city, Donglin.
The headquarters of the Elite Genius Hall was in the Imperial Capital's inner city, Donglin City.
Ye Chen showed his Genius Medal and smoothly got a free seat. Not long after, they were taken to Donglin City by the passenger spaceship. After the spaceship docked, he quickly got off and found a floating light car to go to the Elite Genius Hall's headquarters in the center of Donglin City.
The headquarters of the Elite Genius Hall was located in the center of Donglin City. It was in charge of all the operations and policies of the entire Donglin City. Within 300 kilometers of this place, there was a vacuum zone. No one was allowed to come close, and anti-detection and anti-tracking systems were installed.
"Stop."
Ye Chen jumped off the floating light car and casually threw a bag of pseudo-divinity stones. He went directly to the city center's gate and looked up. In front of the city center's gate were two majestic Dragon-Lions. They had the heads of lions and the bodies of dragons. They were majestic and gave off an awe-inspiring feeling.
Behind the two Dragon-Lions was a gate that looked like a heavenly palace. It towered into the clouds, and the top of the gate could not be seen. There were many guards standing outside the gate, and their auras were strong. There were ten of them on each side, and they were all God Realm masters!
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. He stared for a moment and was about to walk toward the leader of the guards. At this moment, a whistling sound came from behind. In the sky, two ferocious beasts with four hooves and scales that looked like molten iron appeared. They were like the legendary Qilins. They were pulling a luxurious metal car from the horizon. They were like the ancient Heavenly Emperors on patrol, majestic and majestic.
