Guided by the Star Map, Baiyu piloted the Erza, heading towards the interstellar harbor called Maika Star.

This is the most prosperous place on the entire planet.

There are fleets from various other planets, merchants, adventurers, entrepreneurs from all walks of society, and of course, there are also shipyards, repair docks, etc.

According to the records on the Star Map.

Ordinary interstellar navigation relies on space travel, Spirit Realm traversal, and teleportation arrays, among others.

Of course.

Most interstellar ships rely on special methods to traverse the Spirit Realm, then reappear in the universe, waiting for the next chance to traverse.

This greatly shortens travel time.

Moreover.

It also helps to avoid risks.

The distance of Spirit Realm traversal has many restrictions, so most Starships can only traverse a certain distance, then travel a segment through space before the next traversal.

The distance a Starship can traverse the Spirit Realm is a very important indicator of its value.

In this regard.

The Legendary Ship Erza should far surpass other Starships.

Soon.

As Erza continued forward, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and a series of buildings appeared ahead.

Tall buildings and huge towers stood tall.

They were nestled closely together, protected by a massive city wall, like a human kingdom growing abruptly on this desolate land.

In the sky above this giant city.

There were many strangely shaped flying instruments, swirling and hovering above like seagulls surrounding an island.

As they approached the city.

Two battleships full of technological sophistication sailed over.

"Starships cannot directly enter the city, please follow us to the interstellar harbor for docking."

Someone shouted.

Baiyu, having obtained preliminary understanding of the Human Imperial common language from the Star Map, found communicating with them not too troublesome.

The other party was wearing the unique uniform of the Galaxy Imperial, obviously a member of the Planet Governor's Mansion.

There was no doubt about their identity.

Led by the two Starships, Baiyu docked the Erza at the harbor and left the Legendary Ship with Qiong Jiu and Shi Yixian.

For the two of them.

Having a preliminary understanding of this vast empire would help them survive here, especially since Baiyu couldn't always stay by their side. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The affairs on Canglan Star…

Contained significant mysteries.

Additionally, those Evil Gods who caused large-scale deaths were still creating disasters.

Baiyu wanted to find out why the seven True Divines didn't take action and determine what on Canglan Star attracted those Evil Gods.

The passageway to the Spirit Realm was just one point.

And not the most important one.

Baiyu took a deep breath, stopped overthinking, and entered the big city.

Unlike on Canglan Star.

Most places here are filled with the beauty of technology, even the corridors along the streets are paved with metallic surfaces.

"The Spiritual Qi here is abundant, but most people don't cultivate…"

Shi Yixian found it quite peculiar.

Unlike Canglan Star, the Spiritual Qi on this planet is extremely dense, not limited like on Canglan Star.

However.

Cultivators are extremely rare.

Even at a glance, most are ordinary people, though some appear quite strange in the eyes of Qiong Jiu and Shi Yixian.

They were probably Mechanical Transformations and Genetic Transformations.

Baiyu walked aimlessly down the street, and soon felt the gaze watching them from the shadows.

Someone had targeted them!

This was something Baiyu anticipated, as in such unfamiliar territory, they undoubtedly appeared as prime targets in the eyes of the locals.

Especially on a harbor planet like this.

According to the Star Map, Maika Star is not a resource-type or habitable planet, but a transportation harbor type.

The entire planet has only a few human cities.

And these human cities were established by relying on the harbor, collecting trade fees from passing merchant and cargo ships to drive local consumption.

Shi Yixian and Qiong Jiu also noticed they were being followed.

The three did not make a sound and quickly turned into an alley, where they suddenly felt electric currents flowing through the air.

Zizizi.

Like being caressed by a gentle breeze.

Baiyu was slightly startled; if it were a normal person or a lower-tier Cultivator, they might have been electrocuted unconscious by this current.

Quite terrifying!

For ordinary people to achieve this level, it's already remarkable.

As Baiyu's spirituality swept.

He instantly discovered a man hidden in the shadows, and with a slight grasp, the man was caught by an invisible great force and dragged over from the other side of the wall.

The man appeared to be in his twenties.

His face bore deep metal patterns, and both arms were metallic, clearly a standard Mechanical Transformation.

These people, though having metal parts in their bodies, their minds were completely unaffected.

"Who are you working for?"

Baiyu's eyes sparkled with a mesmerizing brilliance, like a constantly shifting rainbow.

The man's expression instantly became bewildered.

Baiyu then asked: "Why are you following us?"

"You are outsiders, and even if you die, no one will care; you are the best targets for robbery, and once we find you, we won't let go."

The man responded with vacant eyes, as if his mind had been taken.

Baiyu didn't hesitate, continuing to ask: "Who is your boss?"

"It's Iron-handed Jack; he is the leader of our Iron-handed gang."

"Where is he, and what's his strength?"

"He lives in the city's west district, and he's very strong, a bizarre Cultivator."

Baiyu's eyes returned to normal, releasing the man, and he looked at Qiong Jiu and Shi Yixian: "Let's go meet this gang leader; if we want to quickly integrate, he should be able to offer a lot of help."

Baiyu smiled.

"According to what we can deduce from this person, his boss's strength shouldn't be too high, probably mid to low tier, but we can't be careless; we must proceed with caution. After all, this is not our familiar environment."

Qiong Jiu said darkly.

Baiyu nodded, lifted the man back up, and said in a deep voice: "Lead the way."

At that moment.

The man fell back into that dazed state, beginning to walk in a certain direction.

All along the way.

Baiyu used spirituality to manipulate the man, making him appear quite normal; before long, the three reached a place that looked like a tavern.

Upon entering through the door.

Someone immediately greeted the man controlled by Baiyu: "Little Mort, how did you do today? By the look on your face, not much gain, huh."

"Better mind your own business first; if you can't meet the quota in time, the boss won't mind having a nice chat with you."

The man, manipulated by Baiyu, responded without a hint of flaw.
