Chapter 132: Leaving Mars

“This should be the place!” The tunnel was extremely deep. It was unknown where it would lead to.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no mistakes, Feng Lin used the furnace as a boat as he entered the tunnel.

The hot lava churned around him. They were like surging waves of a sea that generated a current to push the furnace forward.

“Quickly look, the alloy sphere is fleeing away!”

“Not good, all the secrets of the ancient mythological ruins are in there!”

“Mars is so big, quickly lock on the sphere’s coordinates for me!”

...

The soldiers of the Mars Revolutionary Army that were just arrived all screamed in exasperation while Feng Lin had already traveled far away by controlling the furnace.

The furnace was used as a boat; the lava was treated like the ocean.

The underground tunnel twisted left and right, extremely winding and complicated.

However, the furnace simply barged through the tunnel, shattering the stone pillars that obstructed its way. Its speed grew increasingly faster as it headed toward Mars’s surface.

Feng Lin actually felt a sense of excitement as though he was surfing the ocean waves...

The furnace’s movement speed was incredibly fast. It was unknown how long he had been traveling, but Feng Lin faintly sensed that Mars’s surface was already very close to him.

Eventually, light appeared before him.

Flames erupted as the lava churned, generating black-colored mushroom-shaped clouds.

An alchemy furnace flew high into the air from the force of the eruption, with lava and smoke spewing everywhere. After the momentum of the burst dissipated, it rapidly fell down from the air. Its incredible speed created friction in the atmosphere as numerous sparks manifested. It was like a fiery meteor falling from the sky.

BOOM~

With a thunderous explosion, smoke and dust sprang up everywhere.

At the foot of the volcano, a giant crater was created from the impact as large amounts of sand and dirt blasted outward.

It was after a long time that a face covered by dirt and grime climbed out from there.

Falling down from a height of 20,000 meters, even Feng Lin wouldn’t be able to withstand it with his body. He felt extremely dizzy, and it was only after a long time did he recover.

He turned his head back only to see a volcano that resembled a heavenly pillar. This volcano was incomparably majestic and exuded an aura that could stir one’s heart and soul.

This was the tallest volcano of Mars, named the Olympus Mountain. It was at the very least, 20,000 meters in height, twice as tall as Mount Everest on Earth.

But no matter who it was, no one would be able to imagine that there was a tunnel leading to an underground hidden there.

However, Mars was only this large. It was roughly only about one-ninth of Earth’s size. Given the technology of the current age, everything would be quickly revealed via an electronic scan.

He had to leave as soon as possible.

If not, when the Mars Revolutionary Army arrived here, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape.

“Retract.” Feng Lin glanced at his furnace and stretched out his hand to take it.

His formless mental energy surged into the mental imprint, causing the furnace to tremble violently and actually shrink in size. Instantly, the furnace that was originally as large as a mountain became the size of an incense pot. It then reduced even further in size and transformed into a beam of light that returned to Feng Lin’s hand. Upon contact with his hand, it transformed into a furnace tattoo that gradually faded out.

However, with just an intention, Feng Lin could clearly sense the furnace in his hand. The furnace had already fused with him, and he was silently marveling at this fact.

As expected of a wondrous treasure from the ancient myths and legends, it could actually fuse together with the human body, possessing unimaginable abilities. However, as to what the furnace’s abilities were exactly, he still had to slowly figure them out in the future.

“Collapsible flying shuttle, activate!” Feng Lin touched the ring on his finger as he commanded in a low voice.

The ring glowed, becoming brighter and brighter. All of a sudden, a beam of light shot forth. The space twisted, parting like mist as a silver flying shuttle appeared before his eyes. This flying shuttle was about 1,000 meters in length. It had a streamlined body shape and was filled with a technological sense of beauty.

“Welcome, captain! The Holy Determination Flying Shuttle is prepared, we can take off any time!” A female voice rang out; this was the A.I. of the flying shuttle.

The flying shuttle’s A.I. was one of the most advanced A.I.. It had autopilot mode on and the vast majority of complex situations in the universe could be resolved easily.

Even though Feng Lin was only one person, he could still easily operate the flying shuttle.

It’s time to return to Earth!

Feng Lin silently mused that it had been quite a long time since he had come to Mars, and he had experienced far too many things. This gave him a feeling as though it had been a lifetime then since he was last on Earth. It was about time to go back!

He didn’t forget that there were still some troublesome matters regarding his clan.

He didn’t know how the head butler would view the current him. Would he still maintain the lofty attitude he had from before?

A cold smile lit up Feng Lin’s lips, but an incomparable yearning involuntarily appeared in his heart.

As he walked closer, the cabin door automatically opened and he entered.

Very swiftly, fiery light rays shot out from behind the flying shuttle as an immense reactive force pushed it up to the starry space. It swiftly transformed into a silver line and vanished quickly into the horizon.

Not too long after Feng Lin left, three flying shuttles neared the area he had previously been in. A bunch of soldiers wearing the Mars Revolutionary Army’s uniform completely surrounded the area.

“There are traces of a flying shuttle here. It’s very possible that it is from the vile creature of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company.”

“We have to find him. It’s better to kill mistakenly then to allow a suspicious target to escape!”

“That’s right, he might have the secrets of the mythological ruin on him. Those secrets are the true treasures of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company. We have to get them no matter the cost!”

...

At this moment, when those soldiers from the Mars Revolutionary Army were frantically searching for Feng Lin, a flying shuttle had already broken through Mars’s atmosphere and was rapidly flying toward the distance, toward an azure blue planet.

Through the glass windshield inside the operator’s cabin, Feng Lin could see that Mars, a fiery red planet, was rapidly becoming smaller, gradually turning into a tiny red dot.

Feng Lin’s heart was filled with emotions, as well as unrestrained joy.

For this journey to Mars, although there were many pitfalls and obstacles as he encountered dangers after dangers, his returns were also great. He didn’t suffer any disadvantage at all.

The Kunlun Grand Palm Imprint, alchemy arts, mythological ruins...

Each was more valuable than the last. Even if he took his returns out one by one, each of them was enough to drive other cultivators mad with envy.

And now, Feng Lin possessed them all!

Martial arts, secret techniques, good fortune... I want them all!

With no investments, how would there be returns?

The greater the risk, the greater the rewards!

He had taken many huge risks, but in exchange, he had also received incomparably generous returns.

From this, one could very well imagine how much time he had to spend on his path of cultivation in the future.

Maybe in the future after he matured, these benefits now would already be insignificant.

But Feng Lin was clear that this experience would be buried deep within his heart.

This was after all a transformation for him, a budding young cultivator, walking on the path of growing stronger!

This could be considered a growing up experience.

And because he had really matured from this, this experience was truly valuable.

Feng Lin sighed with relief. His earlier tense body was now completely relaxed as he leaned against the back of a chair. Before this, his heartstrings were stretched too taut. Now, he could finally temporarily relax.

He drew a deep breath. This wasn’t for the breathing techniques taught in cultivation. He was just drawing a deep breath to relax.

Feng Lin turned his head back for a final look at Mars. Now, in his vision, Mars had already become a faint red dot shimmering in his eyes.

Goodbye, Mars!

He no longer looked back. His eyes glowed with a bright light as he stared at the azure planet ahead in the distance.

Earth, I’m back!

The flying shuttle left a fiery and resplendent trail through the dark starry skies, as it shot forth into the distance.

A human, a flying shuttle...It was like a man who had left his home for a long time finally returning. Feng Lin continued to fly forward with anticipation and excitement in his heart!
