Astral Cockroach

Jiangqing Mountain is just a small mountain with a height of only a hundred meters.

Rolling hills and gentle slopes are covered with irregular terraced vineyards.

It is the height of summer.

The season when various grape fruits ripen.

Jiangqing, Caoqing, Hanqing, Shuangqing, and Niunai, five young warriors, are busy working in the mountains.

Xiangpu controls the buzzing bee colony.

Hongmi and Longzhu, along with a young warrior, are on the flat mountaintop, watching the bee colony crush the harvested grapes and extract the seeds. This is the sixth young warrior who likes grapes, and according to the plan, is named "Niuzhi."

Baba stops under a Dragon Bamboo life seed on Jiangqing Mountain.

"Banbu. What's wrong? You look very anxious." Baba greets lazily.

"Is that so?" Banbu realizes that he is a bit too hasty, straightens his antennae with his front legs, and asks, "Baba, why are you staying here?"

"It's hot!" Baba says matter-of-factly, "The bamboo forest is cool, so I'll stay where it's cool."

"You are an electronic lifeform," Banbu reminds.

"That doesn't work. I'm old too." Baba sighs, "I'm not like you. I need to use my brain to think about problems. Various components are aging, and they get hot when they run! So, it's better to stay cool."

"… …"

A joke that is not funny at all. Banbu turns around, not wanting to pay Baba any more attention.

Noticing Banbu's arrival, Hongmi and Longzhu rush to greet him.

"Banbu!"

"Banbu!"

After greeting him, Hongmi asks strangely, "Banbu, why are you here?"

In the distance, Jiangqing also arrives, excitedly shouting, "Banbu, we have successfully cultivated our own 'Niunai Grape'. The seeds were sown this spring, and we have already selected seedlings twice."

"Good!" Banbu praises, and then says, "Cultivating Niunai Grapes is just the most basic operation. The difficult one is Niuzhi Grapes, you must continue to work hard."

Xiangpu finally catches up, asking strangely, "Banbu, I remember you said that you would probably return to Lizhu Peak next year."

"I encountered a little trouble on that continent." Banbu asks, "Hongmi, Longzhu, Jiangqing, how much have you learned about grape cultivation?"

"Learned some… …" Jiangqing stammers.

"Some."

"A little."

Hongmi and Longzhu look left and right.

Banbu asks, "Xiangpu, how are you doing?"

"Some… … a little bit… … I have learned grafting techniques." Xiangpu turns his head and says, "Banbu, Crystal Grapes are delicious, especially sweet!"

"Mutton Fat Grapes are fragrant and sweet." Banbu says helplessly, "Baba, how is Guanli doing?"

"So-so." Baba says, "Without me, they can't do it, no one can, not even you, Banbu."

"Baba, I have something very important to take you away for." Banbu asks, "Can they do the basic cultivation work?"

"Very important? What are you in a hurry for?" Baba also becomes curious, answering, "Normal planting should be no problem. They definitely can't cultivate Niuzhi Grapes."

"That's good. Normal cultivation is fine." Banbu picks up Baba, fans his pulsating wings, and says, "You guys go ahead with your work. I'm taking Baba away, it may take a year or two. Hongmi, Longzhu, Xiangpu, please help out more."

After speaking, he flaps his wings and takes off, heading straight south.

… …

Flying over the Jinjiang River.

Banbu suddenly circles and lands on the riverbank.

"Baba, I remember that among the 55 supernatural techniques of the human race, there is one called 'Solar Eclipse', a water element supernatural power, with particularly strong erosive power, only earth and stone elements can counter it."

"Yes." Baba pauses for two seconds, and says, "Aren't you asking the obvious? When you were still human, two members of your combat unit chose this technique."

When Banbu was human, he had an SSS-level talent and was backed by his family. When his strength reached the planetary level and he joined the army, there was a comprehensive combat power test, with 0.6 being qualified and 1 being perfect.

1 point is theoretically the limit of human combat power at the planetary level.

Banbu scored 1.3 points, surpassing the limit and possessing cross-level combat capabilities. This kind of achievement belongs to the key cultivation target of the Federal Ministry of War. Volunteering for the army comes with a special military merit, and the reward is choosing the most suitable one from the 55 supernatural techniques, and obtaining the cultivation method of the first three layers.

Banbu chose 'Soul Capture Secret Technique'.

Birds of a feather flock together. All the members of Banbu's combat team were SSS-level talents, and their comprehensive combat power test scores all exceeded 1 point. Each member practiced a supernatural technique.

Escorted by spaceships, taking turns guarding the goods, resting on weekdays, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, the team members more often sparred in martial arts.

Banbu had witnessed and personally experienced the supernatural technique 'Solar Eclipse' more than once.

The kind of black mist under the deep well crack seemed similar but not quite. The supernatural power caster was fusing the two techniques 'Solar Eclipse' and 'Soul Capture Secret Technique'.

Banbu could see it, could confirm it with 100% certainty.

"Baba, how much information do you have in your database about the human race's Sovereign Realm experts at that time? Which one of them cultivated both 'Solar Eclipse' and 'Soul Capture Secret Technique' to their peak?"

"None… … Those who can cultivate the 'Soul Capture Secret Technique' to its peak are no longer human-like, completely detached from the human category, not even carbon-based lifeforms… …" Baba thought for a while, changing her words, "But, there is one who cultivated 'Solar Eclipse' to its peak, and 'Soul Capture Secret Technique' to the sixth layer, but stopped at the sixth layer, not daring to continue."

Banbu asks, "Who?"

"Classified!" Baba refuses to answer, asking in confusion, "Banbu, what are you doing? Could it be… … I heard that you were digging deep underground on the Chijian Continent? What did you dig up?"

Banbu says silently, "I dug up the two supernatural powers 'Solar Eclipse' and 'Soul Capture Secret Technique'… … The black miasma, Solar Eclipse as the main, Soul Capture Secret Technique as the auxiliary, is quite consistent with what you said… … Who is that person?"

"What?!" Baba becomes uneasy, asking eagerly, "The residual power of a human race expert's supernatural power?"

Banbu shakes his antennae, saying, "It's not residual combat power, it's a barrier intentionally set up."

Banbu asks again, "Who is that person?"

"Star Piercing Dojo! Dojo Master Bi." Baba answers word by word, with unprecedented solemnity, introducing, "Originally named Bi Shaofeng, he cultivated both the 'Solar Eclipse' and 'Soul Capture Secret Technique' supernatural powers, but his most powerful skill is the sword, the Star Piercing Sword."

"Star Piercing Dojo? Which star field, which surviving star system?" Banbu says, "I suspect that the surviving planet under our feet was plundered from the human race by the Zerg gods."

"Absolutely impossible!" Baba says, "The human race's 55 supernatural techniques, each corresponding to a dojo, the Star Piercing Dojo corresponds to the 'Star Piercing Sword Technique'. There are a total of 55 dojos, concentrated in one place—Earth, the mother planet."

Banbu is shocked to hear this.

"There are some secrets that you definitely don't know." Baba asks, "When you were human, during the enlistment physical examination, the supernatural technique most suitable for cultivation was the 'Soul Capture Secret Technique', right?"

Banbu says, "Yes, I have excellent talent in soul aspects."

Baba says, "Then you can be considered to have joined the 'Soul Capture Dojo', you just don't know it yourself. The Alliance Military Department's information database only has the first five layers of the 'Soul Capture Secret Technique'. If you are capable, lucky, and excellent enough, when your strength and military merits meet the requirements, you will have the opportunity to enter the 'Soul Capture Dojo' for advanced study, continuing to cultivate the most core sixth and seventh layers of secret techniques."

"The same is true for all other supernatural techniques. The most important sixth and seventh layers need to go to the corresponding dojo on Earth to obtain the inheritance. One day, when your strength reaches the Sovereign Realm and you are old, unsuitable for continuing to fight, you need to return to the corresponding dojo to spend your old age."

"Not only martial arts, Earth also has a super-capacity information database, backing up and recording all of humanity's scientific and technological civilization knowledge. It is said that there is also a human gene bank, recording the most outstanding genetic genes. It is said that humans have been using the most advanced technology to改造 the interior of the planet, long ago turning the planet into a space fortress and survival base."

Baba says, "The martial power structure guarding Earth is also very simple. Each dojo corresponding to each supernatural technique has a responsible Dojo Master, all with peak Sovereign Realm strength."

"Earth is the essence of human civilization, the last line of defense for racial continuation. The duty of the Dojo Master is to inherit and protect, no matter how the war situation changes, they cannot leave."

"Then… … it shouldn't be that Dojo Master Bi you mentioned… …" Banbu says, "Could it be other Sovereign Realm experts… … The supernatural power deep underground may not necessarily be left by the Sovereign Realm, it may also be the Realm Lord Realm… …"

Baba says, "Banbu, I want to see it for myself."
