Chapter 289: Getting a Temporary Resident Permit

“Alright.” Yi Qing nodded and stood up. As long as he would not have to leave his master’s side, he was willing to do anything.

Lonemoon and Shen Ying exchanged glances and stood up as well.

“Oh, that’s right!” Shen Jing suddenly added. “Little Ying, you’re not allowed to go!”

“Why?”

“Your situation now is special. If you help them, there will be no need for them to go through the test.”

Shen Ying frowned. She whined, “Older Sister~”

Shen Jing pursed her lips and her attitude changed. “Alright, alright, alright. You may go, but promise that you would not help them, alright?”

“Yes, Older Sister! No problem, Older SIster!”

Lonemoon: “...”

Yi Qing: “...”

Shen Jing’s weak spot for Shen Ying’s cuteness had not dissipated.

——————

They were at an absolute wasteland. There was nothing but dried up soil on the ground, and the animals could do nothing but swallow their own saliva. They kept trying to tear at each other’s skin and looked like that was all they had been doing the entire time. All around them, they could see fresh and rotting meat. The air had an intolerable stench.

Lonemoon immediately understood why this was called the Planet of Death. Not only was there no one around, it was a wasteland for corpses. Nothing looked lively there.

The moment Chef and Lonemoon landed, they began to clean up the crazed plants and animals. Given their cultivation level, it was easy to deal with beasts without any intelligence. The only thing was that there were way too many beasts there. The more they killed, the more there were.

“Shen Ying, how big is this Planet of Death?” Lonemoon looked at the new herd of beasts charging toward them.

Shen Ying kicked a stone. Something flashed across her eyes as she answered, “A hundred times as big as Earth.”

“What!” Lonemoon’s eyes widened. How long would they take to clean this place up? Shen Jing was clearly cheating them! “If all the living beings on here have been infected, how can we clean all them up in a day?”

More and more beasts were gathering around them, and they looked stronger by the minute. In the beginning, they could find a spot to stick their feet on the ground. As time went by, they took more and more breaks in mid-air. Even so, there were a significant number of beasts that could fly in mid-air as well.

“What should we do?”

“Fly toward there,” Shen Ying instructed as she pointed toward her right. “There should be some clues for us there.”

Lonemoon paused and stabbed the great bird beside him. Without any hesitation, he sped toward the right for a full hour. By then, there was a huge group of crows following behind him, and they did not look like they were about to be tired out anytime soon.

“What are we looking for?” Lonemoon could not help but ask.

“Some information,” Shen Ying replied. Suddenly, she pointed ahead. “RIght there!”

Lonemoon looked up and found that a triangular structure was floating in the air. It was made up of several smaller squares. The outside of the structure was covered in silver. Yet, when the sun shone upon it, it disappeared.

“What is this?”

“An abandoned supervision station,” Shen Ying responded. She gestured for Chef to fly over. She did something to it, causing a door to open on the triangular structure. Inside was just enough space for three people to sit.

“What are we doing here?” Lonemoon asked, confused.

“We’re looking for more information about this planet.” Suddenly, she tapped on the corner of the wall to her right. A hologram of the planet bounced up between them. Beside it was a bunch of strange numbers.

“How did you know you’d find data here?” Lonemoon and Yi Qing jumped.

“Every planet in District T of the Star Alliance has such a supervision station,” Shen Ying answered casually. “There’s one on Earth as well, but it’s been covered.” This was also why she could connect to the Star Network.

“...” Lonemoon did not fully understand her, but all of it looked very impressive.

Shen Ying rolled out a map and messed around with the data next to the hologram. After awhile, she spoke. “This really is the Mineral Planet.”

“What Mineral Planet?”

“More than 80% of this planet was made out of a mineral called W9851,” Shen Ying explained. “This type of mineral is common in the Star Network and it can be found on other planets as well. That’s why this supervision station has been abandoned. But the W9851 minerals are highly flammable. They explode violently and the flames would spread like wildfire.”

“You mean to say...” Lonemoon’s eyes twinkled. He immediately understood what Shen Ying was saying. “As long as we cause these minerals to explode, we can destroy the entire planet?”

“Yes.” Shen Ying nodded. “But there is one problem.”

“What’s the problem?”

“This surface of this planet has been infected by all the animals and plants. The minerals are hidden deep inside the mess. My older sister would not let me help you all. Unless you find a way to destroy the surface of the planet and cause the minerals inside of it to explode, you would not be able to destroy the entire planet!”

“How thick is the surface of the planet?”

“A couple thousand metres.”

“That thick?” That was absolutely frightening.

“I will go!” Yi Qing suddenly shouted.

“You can’t destroy the surface either.” Before Lonemoon could finish speaking, Chef walked out of the room. “Wait outside-”

Lonemoon did not get to finish his sentence. A huge amount of sword Qi burst forth from Chef’s body. With a wave of his sword, he struck all the birds behind them dead. Immediately, they saw flames cover the entire sky as the birds got burnt alive. It looked almost as if the clouds were on fire. Still, Lonemoon could feel Yi Qing’s sword Qi. His body began to tremble from the impact.

This was shocking. Who knew that Chef’s cultivation level would be so frighteningly different from before? And this fire...

“True Phoenix Fire!” Aren’t you a dragon?

Before Lonemoon could figure things out, and after destroying all the birds, Yi Qing flew toward the ground. In seconds, strong sword Qi filled the air around them. They became covered by a dense golden light which was forming the shape of a great sword. The sword was thrown straight into the ground.

There was a loud crash as they felt the entire planet shake violently. Huge cracks appeared on the ground all around them. The ground began to open up wider and wider, until the ground became a series of deep, bottomless pits.

He... destroyed it!

(? o ?)

Lonemoon’s eyes widened. Indeed, he was a cheat.

He turned to look at Shen Ying’s screen. It showed that they had only destroyed 2000 metres of the surface. This would not do! They still had a bit more to go.

“Chef...” Lonemoon started to call Yi Qing back.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a phoenix crying. Yi Qing, who had been holding on to the sword just seconds ago, suddenly turned into a gigantic fire phoenix. He flew straight toward the bottom of the pits, lighting them up. The flames caused the pits to go even deeper.

The planet was shaking even more violently now. The number on Shen Ying’s screen continuously increased.

2700... 2800... 2900... 3000!

“We’re done!” Lonemoon’s heart leapt. He immediately conjured a seal and notified Chef. “Alright, Chef.”

The number on the screen stopped once again. A moment later, the ball of light that earlier disappeared into one of the bottomless pits flew back toward the supervision station. Chef returned to his regular form and walked out from amongst the flames.
