Chapter 100: The Lord of Naba City

Upon hearing Blue Sky’s confusion, Bai couldn’t help but burst into laughter, a look of disdain crossing his face as he said, “I must say, you’re giving the Yuanlan Empire far too much credit. What kind of entity do you think the Virtual Universe Network is?!”

“Even the Emperor of the Yuanlan Empire, at best, holds the status of a ninth-class citizen within the Virtual Universe Network. What authority could he possibly have to detect me logging into the master’s account?”

“The Virtual Universe Network essentially encompasses all human territories. It is a titan among human clans and the treasured legacy of the Xu Sheng Clan! Before the Xu Sheng Clan, a mere Yuanlan Empire isn’t even worthy of tying their shoes!”

“So that’s what it is... the Xu Sheng Clan, huh? Sounds like you’re telling a story, it feels so distant from me,” Blue Sky murmured.

“You don’t need to concern yourself with that now. Your sole focus should be to strengthen your abilities. When your power reaches a certain level, you will naturally come into contact with some of the universe’s secrets,” Bai shook his head, signaling to Blue Sky that it was time to leave.

Naturally, Blue Sky had no objections to Bai’s advice. To be cautious, he suppressed his aura and steadily made his way toward the city Bai had mentioned.

With Blue Sky’s level 81 energy-gathering physique, even without using spiritual power, his sprint was terrifyingly fast. Coupled with the blessing of divine charm, his speed increased even more!

While running, Blue Sky found that using spiritual power to scout ahead was quite effective. At the slightest hint of disturbance, he could avoid it early on. Thanks to this, he never encountered any other creatures and safely passed through the mountain range.

Upon reaching the plains, Blue Sky let loose, wielding his spiritual power to swiftly ascend and dash toward the city. Before long, he spotted the massive city walls and the grand gate adorned with three majestic characters written in a flowing style.

Blue Sky did not recognize a single one...

“Why have the city entry fees gone up again?”

“Sigh, things have been unstable lately. Rumor has it that the Ao Kingdom is planning another invasion against us.”

“You’re just a small vendor selling compressed food. What does invasion matter to you? The adults will handle it. Just live quietly in Qingshan City.”

Blue Sky hovered not far from the city gate, observing the bustling crowd below. He caught fragments of noisy chatter and, after Bai’s translation, understood what they were saying. He also learned that this city was called Qingshan City.

Perhaps due to the planet’s gravity, Blue Sky noticed that the people here were generally short, averaging about 1.6 meters tall.

“Bai, why do these people’s clothes seem even more backward than Earth’s?” Blue Sky voiced his curiosity. “Do they... look somewhat like ancient Chinese attire?”

“Or is this just the fashion across the universe?”

“Hehe, you think high-tech is everywhere in the universe? Every planet develops differently, so their civilizations reflect that. Take Lanque Star, for example—it’s a remote place with few experts and a development path that isn’t technology-focused. So its civilization looks nothing like the high-tech planets you imagine,” Bai explained with a smile.

“Go ahead and get down. With your second-class citizen status and your flawless use of the official universal language, you’ll probably shock quite a few people, haha.”

Following his advice, Blue Sky descended and walked toward the city gate.

“Sir, welcome to Qingshan City. Please present your identification and pay the entry fee,” a city guard stopped Blue Sky. The guard’s tone was polite, likely because Blue Sky’s attire set him apart from the locals and he had landed from the air.

After all, on a small planet like Lanque Star, while flying cultivators weren’t extremely rare, they still enjoyed certain privileges compared to ordinary people.

Blue Sky couldn’t help but smile at the guard’s rapid-fire gibberish. After Bai translated, Blue Sky responded in proper, clear official universal language, “No problem, where do I verify my identity?”

“Uh, s-sir, this way please!” The guard stiffened upon hearing Blue Sky’s response and immediately straightened up, changing his form of address to show respect.

If he hadn’t misheard, that was... official universal language!

On Lanque Star, very few even qualify to learn the official universal language—it is reserved only for the planet’s elites.

“I dare to ask, sir, where do you come from?” The guard nervously led Blue Sky to the verification device, tentatively inquiring.

“Is such identification really necessary just to enter the city?” Blue Sky responded calmly, sidestepping the question.

“You’re right, it’s my fault.” While speaking, the guard completed the verification. When the words “second-class citizen” appeared boldly on the device, accompanied by a booming welcome, the surrounding crowd was stunned!

Second-class citizen!

How many years had it been since a second-class citizen appeared in this small Qingshan City?

One must understand that citizenship status isn’t granted by strength alone; it also requires a certain social standing. Even the city lord of Qingshan City hadn’t reached even the lowest first-class citizen rank!

“Hahaha, which esteemed guest graces us with their presence? I, your humble servant, failed to welcome you properly. Please forgive me,” a figure swiftly flew from inside the city and stopped before Blue Sky, speaking in somewhat awkward universal language.

Blue Sky first returned the official universal greeting he had learned from Bai. Only then did he get a good look at the man—a middle-aged man with a broad face, appearing to be in his forties. Of course, that appearance was just a facade; Blue Sky guessed his true age was probably older than his ancestors.

Seeing Blue Sky’s respectful yet composed demeanor and hearing him speak universal language with a cold formality, the man’s pupils suddenly contracted, his expression growing serious.

“I am Blue Sky, newly arrived in this Yuanlan Empire. May I ask your name?” Following Bai’s teachings, Blue Sky maintained proper etiquette while sounding somewhat aloof.

Unbeknownst to Blue Sky, his attitude had its effect. The man, surprised by Blue Sky’s unruffled use of universal language and the fact he wasn’t obsequious, immediately raised Blue Sky’s status in his mind and replied humbly, “So it is Mr. Blue Sky. I am the city lord of Qingshan City; you may simply call me Naba.”

After speaking, Lord Naba suddenly realized something and shuddered. This young man hadn’t said he was new to Lanque Star but rather new to the Yuanlan Empire?

That distinction was significant. It suggested this young man was not originally from the Yuanlan Empire.

It is important to note that star domain teleportation and planet teleportation are entirely different. The cost of star domain teleportation is usually beyond the means of ordinary people. Even cultivators just entering the cosmic ranks might not endure it.

Yet this young man had crossed into another universe’s nation by teleportation! That was astronomically expensive. Even Lord Naba himself, with all his wealth combined, might not afford such a transfer!

Therefore, this young man—who hadn’t even reached the Starshine level yet held second-class citizenship and could perform cross-universe teleportation—must be a disciple or heir of some great figure in the universe!

Opportunity! Opportunity has arrived!
