Chapter 113 – Florida Teen Discovers Real Lightsaber in Alien Spaceship and Claims Ownership. Star Wars Fans Riots.

Entering the alien spaceship, Gao Yan found an airtight room. After entering it, the gate behind him closed, trapping him inside.

Air was sucked out, and the walls sprayed Gao Yan with white fume. He coughed as he accidentally inhaled some of the fumes.

WHOOSH

A new door was open, revealing Thora on the other side. While floating, she waved her hand and invited Gao Yan in.

'Come in! Follow me!'

"O-Okay?"

Gao Yan looked around and admired the interior of the spaceship. The passage was narrow, but the ceiling was high. Only one person could walk through the corridor at a time.

Along the way, Gao Yan noticed a few sealed metal doors. At the top right corner of each door, strange labels told Gao Yan what the room was for. However, he could not read the language.

He looked up and stared at the thin line of glasses. They were the only source of light in here. Despite being in a sealed area, the air wasn't stale, and Gao Yan could feel the airflow.

"This place is strange. There is no window, but I smell fresh air."

Following Thora, Gao Yan took a left turn and walked along the passageway. At the end of the walkway, Gao Yan found another closed metal door.

'Here! The artifact is stored here!'

Gao Yan nodded and touched the door. However, it didn't open.

Thora giggled and pointed at the glowing green glass on a pedestal next to the wall.

'Touch that first. Inject your lightning element Qi into the glass, and it should recognize you.'

"Really?"

Gao Yan turned toward the console panel near the wall. He tried as Thora had instructed him.

BEEP

The console panel turned red. The monitor on the panel also showed a message that Gao Yan couldn't read.

<Access Denied.>

Thora frowned. She floated toward the panel.

'Odd. A few days ago, it still recognized anyone with lightning Qi.'

She put her hand on the panel and tested it.

BEEP

<Access Denied.>

'Huh?' Thora was confused. Her expression turned ugly, 'Why?! It still worked when a few days ago!'

She tried it for the second time. However, it prompted an additional message, which only Thora could read.

<Access Denied. The engine room will be temporarily locked for security measures.>

'WHAT?!' Thora was frustrated and discharged static electricity around her. Branches of light flashed and hit the ceiling and the walls.

As Thora was afraid of losing face, she rushed into the room, phasing through the metal door.

Gao Yan had no idea what went wrong as he had never seen a spaceship before. He scratched his head and patiently waited for the sentient element spirit to return.

Two minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

30 minutes went by, and Thora finally walked through the door and returned to Gao Yan's side. She was crestfallen.

'I'm so sorry, master.'

Gao Yan tilted his head and wryly smiled, "I don't know what's going on. Did something happen?"

'Well, yes. The place no longer recognizes me or visitors as guests anymore. I tried to unlock the door from the other side, but it said that we need permission from the new owner of this realm.'

"New owner of this realm? Who?"

'That… I don't know. As a matter of fact, I'm as confused as you, master.'

Thora was sad. In the engine room, there was a large soul stone, which provided endless energy for the spaceship. She planned to let Gao Yan consume it so that he would obtain some life force and energy.

Soul stones were the upgraded version of essence stones. Immortals and immortal beasts usually nested around them as they never stopped producing element essence for them to cultivate and consume. A finger-sized soul stone could provide 1000-essence-stone's worth of energy while a bigger one contained more.

As Thora couldn't bring the massive soul stone to Gao Yan with her power, she could only blame her bad luck.

Meanwhile, Gao Yan had no clue about soul stones or any potential treasure. He snickered.

"It's fine. I'm glad you worry about me. Well, since we can't take it, we should check somewhere else. Maybe, we can find the owner of this place and get his permission."

Thora pouted, 'I doubt the owner would give it to us.'

"Haha. True. Anyway, what about the spirit queen? Where did she live? You mentioned her before."

'Oh, right! This way. Follow me.'

"Is she still alive?"

'She already ascended to heaven realm. She's beyond the immortal realm now.'

"Wow. So, she's a deity? She's an elemental goddess now?"

'Hehe. You can say that.'

Thora puffed her chest as she was proud of her spirit queen. She forgot to watch her steps and phased through a wall by an accident. She quickly came back and resumed guiding Gao Yan to another room.

After walking 100 meters, Thora stood in front of another sealed door. Above the door, a label was written in English. 

Hydroponics Lab

Thora glanced at the label and sighed. She missed her kin and her sisters back home.

Unlike the engine room, the hydro lab's door was automatic. It opened when Gao Yan got close.

Gao Yan and Thora were relieved. Entering the lab, Gao Yan found an oxygen power plant. Arrays of greeneries, such as algae, vegetables, and fruit plants, were sealed in glass tubes. They were lined up in rows and columns, which occupied 70% of the room.

At the center of the room, the largest tube was empty. However, the bottom of the glass tube was charred as if something wrong had happened in there.

Thora phased through the glass tube and floated inside. She introduced her home.

'This is where I and the previous spirit queen lived. Isn't this place lovely?'

Gao Yan looked around in astonishment. He had never seen someone storing random plants, moss, and green patches in a container before.

"But aren't these grasses worthless? I'm an alchemist. Those things in the glasses are just common plants and moss. We can find these everywhere in a moist area."

Thora pouted, 'But they were essential for our former masters. They used these so they could breathe, you know?'

"But cultivators and immortals don't need to breathe, right? We can survive without air for months if we want to hold our breath."

'You're stupid, master. This place is a guesthouse for air-breathing creatures like regular humans and beasts. Without these plants, there would have been no air!'

"Huh?"

Thora changed the topic. She phased through the center glass and pointed at a small metal stick, which was buried under the plants.

'Since we can't get you the soul stone, you should be able to use that. Pick that up, master.'

Gao Yan looked at the plant and found a metallic hilt or a handle of something. He pulled it off the grass and removed the dirt. Then, he inspected the item.

The white cylinder-shaped hilt was two-inch thick and one foot long. Gao Yan gripped it, and he found it perfect for his hand. Strangely, there was a flip button on it, but the button was broken.

Thora looked at the cylinder hilt's button and frowned. She grumbled, 'I guess this is busted, too. What a shame.'

"What is this, Thora?"

'A sword.'

"A sword?"

'An artifact that immortals can kill for, master. Oh, I know that the button is broken, but can you try injecting your lightning Qi into it? Maybe, we can reactivate it with your Qi instead of using its internal energy.'

"…"

Gao Yan nodded and injected his Qi into it. Then, he started feeling the suction force, drawing in his energy and Qi.

A second later, the suction power intensified. Gao Yan felt like his blood gathered in his hand, which was holding the object.

BZZZZ

He regretted injecting his Qi into it. The mysterious cylinder hilt drained 90% of his Qi within seconds, and it demanded more. Even Thora sensed the crisis.

'Master, I'm sorry! Stop!'

Gao Yan gritted his teeth and let go of the hilt. Taking two steps back, Gao Yan stared at the artifact while holding his right hand.

The palm, which held the hilt earlier, was burnt. A layer of his skin came off, and faint smoke emanated from his heated hand.

The artifact glowed in green light. A small panel on the bottom of the hilt glowed and showed strange symbols, which represented numbers.

Thora read the number and giggled, 'Master, you barely charged the artifact. You need to do it 99 more times.'

"Huh?! I need to do that again?!"

'Well, yes. It runs out of battery. We need to fuel it with lightning Qi until it's full so that we can repair the artifact.'

Thora also tried to touch the hilt, but her hands went through it. She pouted as she couldn't contribute to the object's battery.

'But I think it should be enough for demonstration. Master, pick it up again and try to press into the hole over here.'

"…"

Gao Yan was reluctant this time. Yet, he picked it up and looked at the broken switch.

Its switch was missing. However, Gao Yan used his nails and finger to press inside the object.

'Oh, by the way, master. If I were you, I would point the tip and the bottom of that thing away from your body… Whoops.'

The warning came too late. Gao Yan successfully activated the artifact.

A distinctive hum echoed in the room. Green beams came from the top and the bottom of the hilt.

FFFFFSSSKKRRRSH

"OW!"

The beam of the lightsaber staff slightly grazed Gao Yan's arm by accident. He dropped it on the ground for the second time.

FFSSHEEEW

The lightsaber was deactivated.

Gao Yan widened his eyes and looked at Thora. He was shocked by the tool.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!"

Thora smirked and laughed at Gao Yan, 'A staff sword, master. You are also a swordsman, right? This artifact should suit you. Use this and the gun that the senior gave you, you should be invincible under the immortal realm. Oh, have I told you that this sword staff can also kill 10th-grade monster beasts and low-rank immortals?'
