"I don't know either. When I obtained this spaceship, it already had a method to return to Earth."
"And inside was an intelligent lifeform just like you, which also recognized me as its master."
"The initial funds I used to venture into the universe also came from the spaceship."
Hearing this, Babata couldn't help but start doubting his very existence.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Right now, other than me, how could anyone possibly know the way back to Earth?"
"And how could there be another intelligent lifeform on Earth?"
Babata stood off to the side, consumed by disbelief.
Meanwhile, Luo Fan continued telling the two about what he had seen in the universe.
When they learned that these twenty Guanghua clansmen at the Star level were all slaves, both couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
Such a powerful race had been captured and reduced to slavery.
And yet on Earth, the strongest, Hong and Thunder God, were only at Planetary-level sixth rank and seventh rank.
If Earth were discovered by those slave traders, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At this moment, Luo Feng, who had just broken through to the Planetary-level and originally looked forward to the universe, couldn't help but feel a sense of tension.
Babata, still doubting life on the side, heard their conversation and couldn't hold back from saying:
"Don't worry, Earth's dark universe coordinates have been hidden by my master."
"Without a special method, no one can come to Earth."
Luo Fan, hearing this, said faintly:
"Only you and your master know the way back?"
"Then why does this spaceship of mine also have it?"
"And what if there's a wormhole in the solar system?"
"If some cosmic adventurers were lucky, couldn't they also come through a wormhole?"
Hearing this, Babata froze.
The relief that Luo Feng and Fang Xueyi had felt after Babata's words instantly turned back into tension.
At this moment, Babata didn't know how to refute.
After all, even Luo Fan's spaceship was something he couldn't explain.
Very soon, the three returned above Yangzhou City.
This time, Luo Fan didn't fly everyone straight back.
After all, there were more people now.
He also had to bring some of the Guanghua clan slaves home.
He landed directly in the wilderness zone.
Then everyone returned together.
As for the Guanghua clan slaves, he arranged for them to stay in the two villas he owned at Mingyue Community and Greentown Garden.
After returning home, Luo Fan called Luo Feng over.
Luo Feng then recounted his experiences on Mist Island.
He spoke all the way up to the matter of taking a master.
When he finished, he looked at Luo Fan.
"Brother, do you want to join the Ink Star lineage?"
"Right now, I'm the only one in the Ink Star lineage."
At this moment, Babata appeared again.
With a face full of pride, he said:
"Your talent is considered pretty good on Earth. You can barely qualify to join the Ink Star lineage."
"Although the Inheritance Soul Seal and the Mo Yun Vine have already been given to Luo Feng,"
"those cultivation resources and secret techniques are still enough for you to use in the early stages."
But Luo Fan had no intention of agreeing.
"No need. Right now I'm not really lacking a legacy."
"Later I can try to join the Qian Wu Secret Realm or the Virtual Universe Company."
At this, Babata immediately grew anxious.
Luo Fan's talent was even better than Luo Feng's.
"You can first join the Ink Star lineage now."
"With your talent as a spiritual force user, you could even take my master as your teacher as well."
"My master's secret techniques are still extremely powerful for someone at your current stage."
Hearing this, Luo Fan said directly:
"Are they better than the secret techniques of the Qian Wu Secret Realm or the Virtual Universe Company?"
Babata was momentarily speechless.
"But with your talent, it's not certain you can join those two great powers!"
Luo Fan said quietly:
"I've recently had some insights into the Water Domain. I may comprehend it before long."
Babata was completely struck dumb.
Seeing this, Luo Feng changed the subject:
"Brother, when will you go to the universe again? Take me with you to see it."
On this point, Luo Fan agreed without hesitation.
The three chatted for a while longer. Luo Fan then traded some Mu Ya Crystals, Bibo Marrow, and Dream Demon Fox meat, the kind that could enhance spiritual force, with Babata in exchange for some technological data.
[Mission: Give Luo Feng Mu Ya Crystals, Bibo Marrow, and Dream Demon Fox meat. Reward: Luck +500, Water Source Crystals +10]
This data included manufacturing techniques for various technological products.
Among them was the method for producing B6-grade laser guns.
Luo Fan planned to head to the Mars base in a couple of days to have the factory begin using Refined Darksteel to manufacture B6-grade laser guns.
Since this technology wasn't of much use to Babata, he was quite generous in parting with it.
Before Luo Feng left, Luo Fan also gave him a Virtual Universe login device and an anonymous account, for which he received the reward of an advanced optical computer.
After watching Luo Feng leave, Luo Fan turned to Fang Xueyi, lifting her into his arms and carrying her upstairs.
The two hadn't seen each other for quite some time, and Luo Fan felt that his marksmanship had grown a little rusty.
So, he decided to have a good discussion with Fang Xueyi about marksmanship. (TL/N: If you know, you know)
This time, he even made a small attempt.
[Mission: Discuss marksmanship with Fang Xueyi one hundred times. Reward: Offspring talent +1, Pregnancy chance +1]
The two of them delved into the topic of marksmanship, discussing it thoroughly several times.
Luo Fan also managed to complete several missions.
Since he wore a holster, he wasn't worried about the +1 to pregnancy chance. (TL/N: wtf?)
In the end, Fang Xueyi, whose cultivation was only at the Warlord level, was defeated.
Luo Fan's exquisite marksmanship secured the victory.
After eating some Dream Demon Fox meat with Fang Xueyi, Luo Fan went into the gravity chamber.
He took out a Water Source Crystal he had obtained earlier.
[Mission: Absorb the energy of a Water Source Crystal for one hour. Reward: Cultivation +1%, Water Domain comprehension +1]
Looking at the mission rewards, Luo Fan's eyes immediately lit up.
Water Domain comprehension!
Even if it was only a little, for Luo Fan right now it was incomparably precious.
He closed his eyes and began using the Divine Qi Induction Method.
At this moment, the advantages of the Divine Qi Induction Method began to show themselves.
Compared to the Five Hearts Toward the Heavens Method, the Divine Qi Induction Method absorbed energy at a speed many times faster.
Very quickly, an hour passed.
Luo Fan opened his eyes and put away the Water Source Crystal.
"System, claim the reward!"
In the next instant, a surge of comprehension poured into his mind.
At that moment, it felt as though he was surrounded by water.
He could clearly sense the fluctuations of the water currents around him.
He could feel every tiny movement, no matter how subtle.
He even had the sensation that he could freely control the flow of water around him.
It was as though he was the master of this place.
Just as he continued to immerse himself in this feeling, it suddenly vanished.
He opened his eyes, feeling a trace of regret and longing.
He felt that his current artistic conception had grown much stronger again.
Without hesitation, he immediately set another task.
[Task: Absorb the energy of the Water Source Crystal for ten hours. Reward: Cultivation +10%, Water Domain Comprehension +10]
After sending a message to Fang Xueyi, he once again closed his eyes and began absorbing the energy of the Water Source Crystal.
This time, he intended to continue straight for ten hours.
When Luo Fan had absorbed for about five hours, he discovered that he had gained further insight into both the Raging Waves Intent and the Water Domain!
This was…
The faint trace of Water Origin Law energy contained within the Water Source Crystal!
He quickly calmed his mind and began comprehending it.
