Chapter 1448 Universe of Machines (2)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Some Celestial State cultivator mumbled, “I wonder if there are signs of life on those planets. It’s fine if there aren’t any…”
In the scope of a universe, myriads of planetary systems would be unfit for lives to be born because of their harsh conditions. However, it would be terrible if life signs were detected but not seen.
All the experts watched quietly as Kayafollet continued exploring. After a long time passed, she made a sudden stop; the live feed from the equipment became blurry before it turned dark.
Their expressions changed right after.
“What’s going on? Was she attacked?”
“It’s so sudden. Did you see anything?”
“I don’t think she was attacked. But she must have encountered something. She willingly turned off the equipment.”
All the Celestials were rather excited. Su Ping waved a hand and reversed time in the temple. The suddenly interrupted feed reappeared. The replay was much slower than before. They noticed that there was nothing unusual in the entire process. That could mean that Kayafollet had probably turned off the transmission because she sensed a powerful existence and feared that she could be exposed.
After all, the waves from the equipment were clearly visible for powerful existences.
“I wonder if she was detected.”
Everybody was anxious about Kayafollet’s situation.
Su Ping frowned. Considering her combat ability, as long as she hid well—with the God Emperor techniques of the Heavenly Path Institute—very few people could notice her, unless she ran into Ancestral Gods.
The Celestial cultivators, people who had lived hundreds of thousands of years, never felt time flow as slowly as it did at the moment.
Half an hour later, the picture was suddenly restored.
The feed was still showing images from the dark universe, but there were more lights now. Kayafollet approached them one by one. They were planetary systems of different sizes and distances.
However, there was nobody alive in them.
She passed by the glittering solar systems; beyond that was a pitch dark universe without any other light sources.
Kayafollet kept on moving. The darkness relayed by the video feed was permanent, making the viewers think that the equipment was broken. The place was so dark, they couldn’t even tell if she was moving; not even Celestials could detect anything else.
A long while later
The dark feed flickered, followed by an intermittent light. Everybody saw a green colored radiance; then, there was a dazzling light, as if a black curtain would have been lifted. They then beheld a green and vigorous planet; oceans and continents could be seen.
This planet was extremely massive and vast.
Kayafollet paused for a moment, and then chose to slowly approach the planet. Tides in the oceans could be seen, with many giant beasts, swimming up and down.
There were magnificent buildings too, as well as deserts and long bridges joining the continents.
“There are living beings!”
“Great!”
Everybody was thrilled. The existence of living creatures on the planet proved that the newfound universe had yet to be discovered by the Heavens. It could work as their temporary base; they could even look for allies there.
The buildings on the planet were quite futuristic. They were soon able to see images of the main species; highly similar to humans, except that their heads looked like water drops, while their necks and arms were narrow and long. Their torsos were thin and their skin was blue and smooth.
Those creatures were three meters tall on average, and were found everywhere.
Kayafollet was currently hiding with a certain method, allowing her to relay images of those creatures at a relative proximity.
“This is…”
Su Ping looked at the humanoids and frowned. He found them rather familiara, feeling he had seen them somewhere before, but the answer was still eluding him.
The blue-skinned humanoids seemed to be in a harmonious relationship with other living creatures. The giant beasts in the ocean would also play with them.
Su Ping’s aide flew in the planet’s high sky, passing buildings and continents, until she eventually reached a towering mountain.
The mountain rose from the ground like an enormous horn protruding from the planet. However, upon closer look, it could be seen that the mountain was smooth, apparently made of metal. Countless people seemed to be living inside.
“The technology on this planet is rather developed,” said one of the Celestials with a solemn tone; he was a science advocate.
“How did she find the place? She passed through some sort of dark region. Did she block the feed for a moment?”
“No, maybe the planet is being blocked by that darkness,” said Shen Huang solemnly.
Their hearts raced, feeling the strong urge of asking Kayafollet to return and answer their questions. The situation was scary in a way.
“Don’t worry. So far, so good,” said Su Ping, “She wouldn’t have gotten that close if there were universe dominators on this planet. It means that the local experts are in the Celestial State at best. The Heavens wouldn’t come here if such a developed civilization existed.”
Everyone felt much more at ease after Su Ping’s explanation.
Kayafollet reached the mountain a while later. She stopped all of a sudden, as if detecting something. The picture was turned off once again, but they still managed to see that she was fleeing from the mountain. Their hearts raced a second time. “Looks like she found something,” said a Celestial with a contorted face.
Another Celestial chimed in, “Maybe, she’s been found out.”
There wasn’t any extra information they could glean from the video feed, and could only wait anxiously.
Su Ping frowned again. He was still recalling the familiar feeling. It came all of a sudden; his pupils shivered as the memory resurfaced.
He had seen those people in one of the cultivation sites.
It was just a random cultivation site he had picked to train a customer’s pet. The cultivation site was said to be suitable for metal pets training, so he went there.
The metal mountain and the blue humanoids helped Su Ping remember.
This is one of the system’s cultivation sites. I remember it’s middle-ranked and the strongest person is in the Celestial State… Su Ping’s eyes glittered. However, Kayafollet’s reaction didn’t seem to suggest she had met a Celestial. Could it be that the cultivation site was somewhere else in that universe?
There were too many cultivation sites listed in the system; Su Ping had never counted them. The sites for lightning pets’ training were numerous, let alone all cultivation sites combined.
If that’s the case, I can go to the cultivation site and ask them for more information. Su Ping’s eyes glittered. He had never really explored that place, simply regarding it as a training place. He could pay it another visit. He could establish an alliance with the Ancestral Gods.

They had left their own universe in search of more allies. Although the task was risky, he had the protection of his store; there was no need to be overly worried.
“You can wait for her to come back. There’s something I need to do,” Su Ping said to those present.
He couldn’t summon Kayafollet over. Instead of waiting in the palace, might as well go there and learn of the situation.
None of the experts dared to ask him for clarification. Shen Huang said, “Feel free to go. I’ll ask someone to send word when she returns.”
“Okay.”
Su Ping nodded and returned to his store.
Back in the store, Su Ping displayed the list of all the cultivation sites. He entered the middle-rank category and continued screening those he had visited already.
World of Machines (Middle).
Feeling tempted, Su Ping switched to the high-rank cultivation sites, which were much fewer in number. Ten minutes later, he found the World of Machines (High).
Just as I thought. One universe has been divided into different cultivation sites.
Su Ping read their descriptions and found how similar they were. He felt reassured after figuring out they were both the same place, except that the things roaming the land had different combat abilities.
