Chapter 179: Chapter 140: Late Phase of the 4th Stage, Perfection of Prosperity and Decline, Level 3 Domain of the Life and Death Realm!_3

Zhang Qing could sense the terrifying aura around Lu Sheng, to the point where he couldn’t even see through it, indicating that Lu Sheng was at least a late-stage fourth-tier expert!

"With your cultivation level, you could easily take on some frontline combat tasks and earn far more credits than guarding the Ancient Temple Star!"

Zhang Qing was indeed somewhat puzzled.

Facing Zhang Qing’s inquiry, Lu Sheng merely smiled lightly: "This place suits me well, and guarding it also serves as a form of training."

"As for my cultivation..."

Lu Sheng paused, looked at Zhang Qing, and smiled.

"When I first arrived at the Ancient Temple Star, I was merely at the early stage of the fourth tier!"

"What!!"

Listening to Lu Sheng’s words, Zhang Qing was utterly dumbfounded.

Being able to enroll at Star River University, join the Life Factions, and even break through to the fourth tier, Zhang Qing’s talent was naturally not low, but after breaking through the fourth tier, Zhang Qing understood how difficult it was to cultivate at this level.

Lu Sheng was at the early stage of the fourth tier when he first arrived at the Ancient Temple Star; doesn’t that mean...

In the five or six years at the Ancient Temple Star, Lu Sheng had progressed from the early stage to the late stage of the fourth tier?

Such speed...

Zhang Qing opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Looking at Zhang Qing’s expression, Lu Sheng smiled lightly, and after detailing the tasks required for guarding the Ancient Temple Star, he handed the Guardian Token to Zhang Qing.

"Alright, my task is complete, see you when fate allows!"

Lu Sheng waved his hand, boarded the Heaven-Reaching Ship parked beside the shelter, transformed into a dark green streak of light, and instantly broke through the atmosphere of the Heaven-Reaching Ship, disappearing from the Ancient Temple Star.

As the new Guardian of the Ancient Temple Star, Zhang Qing watched Lu Sheng disappear, with a hint of envy emerging in his eyes.

"The Giant Divine Soldier... Truly envious of the relationship between Lu Sheng and Senior Brother Du Bai."

"Not only that, but Lu Sheng’s talent is also terrifying, progressing from the early stage to the late stage of the fourth tier in just five or six years. It seems that it won’t be long before we have another fifth-tier senior in the Life Factions."

Shaking his head with some envy, Zhang Qing then hugged the token and returned to the shelter; he didn’t have the courage like Lu Sheng to expose himself to the Deathly Silence Qi for long periods.

...

"Master, where do you need to go?"

Inside the Heaven-Reaching Ship, the Artifact Spirit inquired.

Lu Sheng glanced at the Heaven-Reaching Ship; its Artifact Spirit had the ability to grow independently, but without feeding it Spiritual Power Crystals, its growth was somewhat slow.

During the five or six years of guarding the Ancient Temple Star, the Artifact Spirit of the Heaven-Reaching Ship had barely grown to the early stage of the third tier.

After reaching the early stage of the third tier, the Artifact Spirit’s intelligence had noticeably increased.

Lu Sheng pondered for a moment, then input Du Bai’s residence coordinates.

After inputting the coordinates, Lu Sheng picked up his wristwatch and found Chen Moyun’s contact information.

"It’s been years, I wonder how Chen Moyun is doing now."

Lu Sheng smiled lightly, then informed Chen Moyun of his breakthrough to the late stage of the fourth tier.

One reason was to share his joy; another was to tease Chen Moyun, which was an evil pleasure for Lu Sheng.

After sending the message, Lu Sheng looked at his personal terminal.

Including the credits from the new year’s guardianship, Lu Sheng now had two thousand credits in his account.

"Two thousand credits, it should be enough to upgrade the Heaven-Reaching Ship. Now I’m at the late stage of the fourth tier, but the Heaven-Reaching Ship is only at the third tier, it’s a bit behind. Doing other tasks without a good interstellar ship would be quite inconvenient."

Lu Sheng said, then dialed Du Bai’s communication.

Soon, Du Bai’s figure was projected in front of Lu Sheng.

"Hmm? You finally thought of contacting me?"

Looking at Lu Sheng, Du Bai smiled.

Even in a virtual projection, Lu Sheng could see that Du Bai’s complexion was much better than the last time they met.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, "I finished my guardianship duty and plan to ask you for help upgrading the Heaven-Reaching Ship."

"Finished?"

Du Bai was slightly surprised, then smiled.

"Upgrading the Heaven-Reaching Ship is it? No problem, just come and find me!"

After chatting for a while, they hung up the communication.

Lu Sheng sat in the Heaven-Reaching Ship, instructing the Artifact Spirit to initiate light-speed flight towards Du Bai’s planet.

Under light-speed flight, it didn’t take long for Lu Sheng to reach Du Bai’s location.

Stepping off the Heaven-Reaching Ship, Lu Sheng quickly recovered from the exertion caused by light-speed flight.

Now that Lu Sheng was at the late stage of the fourth tier and was not new to light-speed flight, he recovered quickly.

"You finally decided to leave the Ancient Temple Star!"

Just stepping off the Heaven-Reaching Ship, Lu Sheng heard Du Bai’s laughter from a distance.

Lu Sheng smiled and looked over, to see Du Bai already standing before him, sizing him up.

"Your aura..."

Du Bai sensed the aura emanating from Lu Sheng and his expression changed.

"Your Life and Death Technique... has reached Perfection!"

Du Bai couldn’t help but exclaim; having practiced the Life and Death Technique himself, he could naturally feel the mysterious life-and-death essence emanating from Lu Sheng.

Such an aura could only be possessed by those who had perfected the Life and Death Technique.

Du Bai looked at Lu Sheng in shock, watching as Lu Sheng smiled and nodded under his gaze.

"Hiss!"

Du Bai took a sharp breath, looking at Lu Sheng as if he were a monster.
