Chapter 20 - Chapter 20 — Apprenticeship

At the entrance of the Yunmo Starship, Luo Feng finally stopped.

"…It guided me here without making a sound," Luo Feng said in a low voice, recounting his experience to Bai Yue, clearly hoping to hear his judgment.

Bai Yue listened quietly, then shook his head with a faint smile.

"It seems this place really does have a connection with you. I've been here twice already, even stayed for two or three days this time, but I never felt anything like that."

Whether it was Babata's influence or something deeper, Bai Yue couldn't say for certain. But fate was rarely wrong.

"Go in," he said calmly. "Opportunities like this don't come twice."

After a brief hesitation, Luo Feng stepped forward. Bai Yue followed closely behind, and the two entered the Yunmo Starship together.

The internal passage branched repeatedly. At the first fork, they saw a corpse lying on the ground.

The body was intact, but unmistakably dead. Deep fist marks were embedded into the metallic wall nearby, silent witnesses to a violent struggle.

They continued onward.

At the next intersection… another corpse.

Then another.

Finally, they arrived at a vast semicircular hall, grand and solemn, exuding an ancient, oppressive aura. Six more corpses lay scattered across the floor. One had a chest pierced clean through; the remaining five bore no visible wounds at all.

Soul attacks.

Bai Yue recognized it instantly.

The two exchanged glances, both seeing unconcealed shock in each other's eyes. The pressure emanating from these corpses was suffocating—far more terrifying than anything described in books. Simply meeting their gazes caused a stabbing pain in the soul, as if their final unwillingness still lingered in the air.

Drip.

The lights in the hall suddenly turned on.

Strange rays converged, and a projection formed—a black-robed child with crimson eyes.

"You've finally arrived," the child said, voice low and emotional.

"I've waited fifty thousand years."

"Who are you?" Bai Yue asked, his tone steady.

"My name is Babata."

Babata glanced deeply at Bai Yue, then turned toward both of them.

"Follow me. You will pay respects to my Master."

With that, he turned and walked ahead.

Though filled with doubts, neither Luo Feng nor Bai Yue sensed any hostility. After a brief exchange of looks, they followed.

After the ceremony of respect was completed, Babata began explaining the truth of the universe, the Yunmo lineage, and the fate of his Master, Hu Yanbo.

When he finished, Babata suddenly turned solemn.

"Luo Feng," he said seriously,

"Are you willing to take my Master as your teacher and inherit everything of Yunmo Planet?"

Luo Feng hesitated.

Babata continued calmly, explaining the vastness of the universe, the cruelty of survival, and the true value of an Undying Lord inheritance—ending with a cold, matter-of-fact reminder.

"If you refuse, you will be silenced."

Luo Feng no longer hesitated.

"I am willing."

He knelt and kowtowed heavily eight times before Hu Yanbo's remains, formally becoming a personal disciple.

Only then did Babata turn to Bai Yue.

"And you?" Babata asked.

"Are you willing to become my Master's registered disciple?"

After a brief pause, he added bluntly,

"You are very special. In such a short time, you've reached Astral Rank Fourth Stage in both Martial Artist and Mental Master paths, and you've comprehended two Domains. Even I cannot see through you."

"My Master will only accept one personal disciple—there are reasons I cannot disclose. However, I can accept you as a registered disciple in his name."

"All cultivation techniques will be open to you. However, the resources left behind by my Master will not be given to you."

"And if you refuse—"

Babata's eyes flashed.

"You will also be silenced."

Bai Yue didn't even need to think.

Getting a complete Undying Lord inheritance for free, with no binding restrictions?

There was no reason to refuse.

"I agree."

He completed the disciple ceremony without hesitation.

As for resources—Bai Yue truly didn't care. With his Dao Fruit, materials were never a long-term problem. And with Luo Feng as his brother, would Yunmo Planet's resources ever truly be out of reach?

Babata, seeing no resistance, handed Bai Yue several items nonetheless.

A smart wristband, containing a backup copy of Babata as an intelligent assistant.

A Space Ring, whose structure Bai Yue could already analyze and replicate at will.

Large quantities of Yunmo Planet inheritance were transmitted directly into the wristband, allowing Bai Yue immediate access for study.

Babata's reasoning was simple.

He couldn't see through Bai Yue—an uncontrollable variable. Making him a personal disciple was too risky. But a registered disciple was still a disciple. Once Bai Yue cultivated Yunmo Planet techniques, he would inevitably carry Yunmo Planet's mark.

An open conspiracy.

And Bai Yue accepted it willingly.

With a thunderous rumble, earth and stone collapsed inward.

Under Luo Feng's control, the Yunmo Starship was stored into his Space Ring, leaving behind only a massive crater that quickly filled and buried itself.

The two didn't linger.

They flew back to the surface, hovering briefly over Mist Island, watching the bustling figures below.

"Looks like things here are finally settled," Bai Yue said with a smile.

"Let's go home."

Back in Mingyue Community, Jiangnan Base City, two intelligent fighter jets descended one after another, instantly igniting discussion.

"Our community's feng shui is insane!"

"Two peerless geniuses from the same place!"

Members of the Falcon Squad and Fire Hammer Squad became the loudest storytellers, boasting shamelessly about their connections.

Even the Falcon Squad itself had transformed—Captain Cold Army had broken through to God of War two years ago, and the rest weren't far behind.

Bai Yue listened with a faint smile.

Not pride—just quiet satisfaction.

Upon returning home, he went straight into the cultivation room.

An Undying Lord–level inheritance had already made him impatient.

The core inheritance of Yunmo Planet revolved around the Mental Master path—

Soul Seal, Void Tower, Soul Seizure, and countless other supreme techniques.

Beyond that were numerous Martial Artist inheritances collected by Hu Yanbo over countless years—any one of them enough to cause bloodshed in the wider universe.

After a rough review, Bai Yue adjusted his cultivation plan.

Core inheritances first.

Martial Artist path—never neglected.

A genius could not afford weaknesses.

In the following period, Bai Yue immersed himself fully in cultivation. With the Dao Fruit assisting him, his progress was terrifyingly fast. Even without relying on Soul Seal, he successfully transformed his Mental Power into the unique Yunmo Planet system purely through comprehension.

Occasionally, he still accepted missions to repel ocean Monster invasions. Fortunately, thanks to the Mist Island harvest, Earth's Planetary-level numbers had surged, and Humanity was no longer barely holding the line.

A new era had quietly begun.
