Because there was still a long distance between Meteor City and the Pandora System, Starmoon did not use spatial transmission, so the flight time was still very long. During this time, Ding Meng went straight to the crew cabin to rest.
The room in the resting area was very small, but the basic three cabins were still installed. However, Ding Meng believed that the sensor cabin could not connect to the internal database of the Starbow Corporation. Given the cautious style of this spacecraft, it must have cut off its connection to the international space network.
Ding Meng turned on his wristwatch and looked through the information related to Song Zhi. From the communication records, it seemed that Song Zhi's circle was very narrow. There were five people in total: Zheng Xia, De Sheng, Wu Meng, Lin Danying, and Ye Mei. Zheng Xia was probably the Xiao Xia that the other follower had mentioned and was most likely Song Zhi's lover. Wu Meng was probably Amon. De Sheng was the Brother Sheng that Wu Meng had mentioned, and Ye Mei was probably the blonde woman controlling the spacecraft.
This seemed more like a small operation team. The communication records did not indicate that this team was part of the Starbow Corporation.
Ding Meng checked the event recorder again. Song Zhi was indeed on the same mission as Lin Danying. However, the few missions they took place in the hotels, clubs, auctions, and trading centers in the capital city of Saint Splendor. Ding Meng could not find any clues. Only this time, it was a long-distance flight. They set off from Saint Splendor, passed through Blue Pole Star City, and then came to Flying Star City.
Ding Meng could not find any useful clues from the wristwatch, so he simply began a new round of cultivation. Bai Langfei's origin energy was still stored in the smelting space. 400 million origin energy points were better than nothing to him, but it was better than nothing.
Strictly speaking, according to the standards of the Federal Empire, he was currently a high-level Battle-Saint. If he forced all his origin energy points to the limit, his index could reach around 9.5 billion points, which was already close to the limit of 10 billion points. At this level, it was indeed rare to meet a worthy opponent.
However, there was a problem with pushing one's strength to the limit. It was very easy to cause great damage to one's vitality. For example, during the battle at Towering Heaven Peak, a battle at this level was earth-shattering. It could be said that there was basically no winner, because even if one won, one would have to pay a heavy price. Moreover, without a special opportunity, it was very difficult to recover from it. Therefore, unless there was no other choice, experts would still compete with their foundations. This was also why Little Rascal had been emphasizing from the very beginning that one had to build a solid foundation.
Now that Bai Langfei had absorbed 400 million points of origin energy for his own use, it wasn't the effect of 95 + 4 = 99. Instead, after absorbing 400 million points of origin energy, the upper limit would still be 9.5 billion points of origin energy. However, his foundation would be further improved, and this was reflected in the effects of his martial techniques.
Using the 《Sacred Yang Tiger Palm》 as an example, when a warrior-level Origin Energy user unleashed a punch, their fist would faintly glow with a red light, which could cause impact and high temperature effects. A Battle-Sovereign level Origin Energy user's fist would emit a tiger head image, which could burn and destroy. A Battle-Master level Origin Energy user's fist would be like a flood, destroying everything in an instant, regardless of whether it was a person or an object.
At the Champion level, one's fist would no longer be limited to liquid, gaseous, or light forms. Instead, it would form a solid layer of origin energy. The layers of origin energy were differentiated by color: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, white, five-colored, seven-colored, multi-colored, transparent … … It would have the meaning of returning to its origin. Most importantly, the layers of origin energy could change their form at any time, allowing them to respond to any sudden changes in battle. This was something that was extremely difficult for anyone below the Champion level.
At the Battle-Lord level, not only did it include all of the above changes, the fist could also affect the surrounding environment, objects, air, matter, and so on. A typical example would be the flying kick in the desert. It looked like a missile, but it was also like a vortex. If one couldn't directly suppress it, there would be endless consequences.
At the Battle-Saint level, the fist would return to the form of a beginner level Origin Energy user. In the eyes of others, it would look like an ordinary fist, but in reality, it was the culmination of various martial techniques, cultivation techniques, star levels, and realms. If one wanted to produce any effect, it could change according to one's will. That was the true definition of ever-changing, omnipotent.
After Bai Langfei absorbed the 400 million source energy, Ding Meng noticed that in the beginner level consciousness space, when the shadow punched out, the vast sea surface would immediately explode. The seawater would boil and vaporize, and the various penetrating vibrations would produce explosive effects that were like fireworks. The dense Origin Energy could even produce various chain explosions under the water. How could a Battle-Lord or Battle-General be able to withstand such an attack?
To be precise, Ding Meng hadn't encountered a true opponent since he arrived at Towering Sky Peak. Of course, it wasn't that there weren't any. Ding Meng believed that there were definitely some. The population of the Holy Grail Federation was in the hundreds of billions. More than ten years ago, 90 Battle-Saints had been born. Who knew how many more there were now?
In Song Zhi's wristwatch, the Origin Ability Management Center had the Federation's Warrior Ranking. Ding Meng glanced at it. The current ranking was updated last year:
No. 10: Lu Zhengfeng;
No. 09: Yu Tianlin;
No. 08: Yue Yuan;
No. 07: Guan Haiman;
No. 06: Xu Fei;
No. 05: Dongfang Zhenghao;
No. 04: An Dengyi;
No. 03: Sha Mansha;
No. 02: Eisendell;
No. 01: Yuan Lie;
This ranking didn't reveal the index and level, but no one would doubt that the top ten were all Battle-Saints. Moreover, half of the top ten were male and half were male. Except for the ninth place, Ding Meng had never heard of anyone else. This was because the ninth place was the CEO of the Sheng Hao Group, Yu Tianlin, who was also Yu Anjie's old man. This also showed how powerful the Sheng Hao Group was.
Of course, this ranking wasn't completely accurate. It was based on public events that had already happened. Those who were hiding in the dark or cultivating behind closed doors weren't included. In other words, there were more and more Battle-Saints in the wild.
As for these Battle-Saints, each one of them was equivalent to a powerful interstellar fleet.
After looking through the wristwatch again, Ding Meng also saw the Goddess Ranking of the Entertainment Management Center. This ranking was also based on public events and the Federation's previous beauty pageants. Ding Meng couldn't help but gossip a little. He glanced at it:
No. 10: Qin Zhongyi;
No. 09: Lan Bing;
No. 08: Transit String;
No. 07: Su Yuhan;
No. 06: Yu Jia;
No. 05: Cheng Mengjia;
No. 04: Eisendell;
No. 03: Ling Xingqi;
No. 02: Lu Xiaobing;
No. 01: Nanxun;
Compared to his ignorance of the Warrior Ranking, Ding Meng found that he actually knew a few people on the Goddess Ranking. He had seen Qin Zhongyi in the Blue Pole Star City. She was a star promoted by the Tianhang Group. He had also heard of the eighth place Transit String and the third place Ling Xingqi. However, Lan Bing was also ranked ninth. But this was normal. Her beauty and her identity as the CEO of the Blue Moon Group were enough to make her smile proudly.
What really surprised Ding Meng was that "Eisendell". This person was famous on both rankings. Was this the so-called coexistence of talent and beauty, beauty and strength?
As for the legendary Ling Xingqi, there were "Lu Xiaobing" and "Nanxun" above her. Ding Meng really didn't know what kind of amazing beauty they were. Anyway, he didn't know any of them.
After looking at other messages for a while, Lin Danying finally sent a message: The spaceship has entered the Pandora system and will soon arrive at the destination. Return to the command center immediately.
On the hologram of the command center, the three-dimensional map of the Pandora system had been created. The green dot representing the spaceship was flashing. The Star-Moon spaceship had entered the nebula surrounded by purple mist.
The blonde woman called Ye Mei was fiddling with the controls. "Everything is normal. There is no one else in this star field. We will enter the atmosphere in five minutes."
Ding Meng glanced at the star system map again. Planet V4 was still the purplish-black vortex. The Divine Arrow spaceship and Little Rascal were there, but the spaceship's radar didn't scan them.
Ding Meng had reason to believe that the Star-Moon spaceship had definitely been discovered by Little Rascal. Unfortunately, he couldn't contact them right now.
He had abandoned Sheng Hao's Rich Wristwatch on planet KV303. He didn't dare contact it even if it was with him because the Divine Arrow spaceship was too important a secret to let outsiders know.
As the spaceship entered the atmosphere, Ding Meng started to understand why Wu Meng and the others had brought Jin Tai along. The atmosphere of planet V9 was exactly the same as planet V4. Countless metal rocks the size of shuttles bounced around and flew all over the sky. If you didn't know how these rocks moved, you wouldn't be able to land on the ground.
The situation on the ground of Planet V9 was even more complicated. There were actually mountain ranges here. These mountain ranges intersected with each other like countless crisscrossing ravines. Of course, regardless of whether it was the mountain ranges or the ravines, the blue-green forest that emitted poisonous energy covered everything.
Not to mention a spaceship, it wouldn't be strange if there was a fleet hidden here.
The Star-Moon spaceship was still descending. When it entered the dense forest, a corner of the forest finally revealed its true appearance.
Ding Meng could clearly see that this was a factory built on the ground, and the shape of the factory was a ten-story pentagon. Every floor was made of alloy, and at this moment, it was brightly lit under the night sky, just like a gem embedded in the forest, jumping with white light.
The spaceship was docked on a dedicated landing pad nearby. When Ding Meng and the others walked down from the connecting cabin, there was already someone waiting on the landing pad.
A short, dark-skinned man took the initiative to approach them. "Amon, thank you for your hard work. Did everything go well?"
"Brother Sheng, everything is going well!" Wu Meng went up to greet him respectfully.
"Did you bring him?" De Sheng asked.
Wu Meng waved his hand and Jin Tai was carried up along with the operating table.
De Sheng turned on his wrist device to confirm. "It's him. Bring him to the detention room."
The group quickly entered the interior of the pentagon. Ding Meng realized that the building was designed to be open-air, but from a high altitude, it looked sealed. This was clearly a camouflage created by some kind of camouflage system.
With the scale and technological level of the factory, no one would believe it if you said that it was a military force from outer space. Such a base could never be built without the support of a large financial group.
In the middle of the empty space in the factory, a transparent crystal sphere about twenty meters tall stood in the middle. It looked like a super-large crystal. Lin Danying asked curiously, "Brother Sheng, is this the Qu Jing?"
