Chapter 2573: Holy Land! Gabriel! Pingtian Grand Duke! (2)
“Do you want it?” w.a.n.g Teng glanced at it, remembering how excited Round Ball had been when they first saw the Soul Elemental Crystal.
“Cough, never mind, you go ahead and use it. I’ll consider it later if there’s a chance.” Round Ball coughed.
“Well, that’s not like you.” w.a.n.g Teng chuckled.
“Do I seem unreasonable to you?” Round Ball rolled its eyes.
Seeing its reaction, w.a.n.g Teng couldn’t help but laugh.
“Actually, I know your strength is the most important thing. As long as you become strong enough, my advancement will become much easier,” Round Ball said.
w.a.n.g Teng smiled but didn’t say much. He didn’t need to make promises or a.s.surances like that. When the opportunity arose, even without saying anything, he would give Round Ball the chance to advance, just like he had in the Chaotic Uncharted.
Without him, Round Ball would never have been able to advance to the heaven stage.
For an intelligent lifeform, advancing through each stage was extremely difficult. If Round Ball had stayed with her original owner, it would probably still be hovering at the cosmos stage.
That was the reality.
Not everyone could defy the odds like w.a.n.g Teng.
“w.a.n.g Teng, Grandmaster Hua Yuan, and the others are here to look for you,” Round Ball suddenly said.
w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes lit up. He kept the Soul Elemental Crystal and straightened his clothes, saying, “The exchange summit is about to begin. Let’s go.”
Round Ball nodded and disappeared on the spot.
w.a.n.g Teng walked to the hall, pushed open the door, and immediately saw Grandmaster Hua Yuan, Grandmaster Alfred, and others waiting for him at the door.
“Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, the opening ceremony of the exchange summit is in an hour. Shall we leave now?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan smiled as soon as he saw w.a.n.g Teng.
“Alright, please lead the way.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
“Let’s go!” Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others immediately flew into the sky with w.a.n.g Teng. At this moment, a s.p.a.cecraft was already quietly suspended in the sky. After everyone entered, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p turned into a stream of light and sped off in a certain direction.
The panoramic simulation had been activated, allowing them to see the outside world.
w.a.n.g Teng looked outside the s.p.a.cecraft curiously and noticed that it was heading towards the east of the Secondary Career Alliance headquarters.
After about ten minutes, the s.p.a.cecraft carrying w.a.n.g Teng and the others pa.s.sed through layers of buildings and arrived at a location resembling a giant city.
A ma.s.sive screen descended from the sky, like a waterfall hanging from the heavens, with no visible top.
The screen displayed strange colors, with various lights s.h.i.+mmering like colorful ribbons, giving it a peculiar appearance.
“This is…” w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
“This is the core area of the Secondary Career Alliance headquarters, known as the Holy Land by all secondary profession pract.i.tioners. The exchange summit will also be held here,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan said with a hint of reverence as he looked at the scene ahead.
“So, the place we stayed before was just the outskirts?” w.a.n.g Teng asked incredulously.
“That’s right. Our Secondary Career Alliance headquarters’ Holy Land is generally not accessible to outsiders. If it weren’t for the exchange summit, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to enter,” Grandmaster Alfred nodded while looking at the screen ahead.
As they spoke, the s.p.a.cecraft slowly approached the screen until it touched it.
At this moment, a very strange scene unfolded.
The screen pa.s.sed through the s.p.a.cecraft and gently scanned its interior.
w.a.n.g Teng furrowed his brows, about to react.
“No need to worry, this is just a routine scan to confirm our ident.i.ties.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan smiled.
w.a.n.g Teng nodded and stood still, allowing the screen to pa.s.s over him.
Nothing happened at all!
After the screen scanned everyone on board, it disappeared from the s.p.a.cecraft, which smoothly entered the screen.
Once through, the s.p.a.cecraft flew for a while until a mult.i.tude of other s.h.i.+ps appeared ahead, all descending towards an immensely vast square.
From above, the square was densely packed with countless dots, and upon closer inspection, it revealed a scene of bustling crowds, their voices rising in a cacophony that reverberated through the heavens.
The rolling waves of sound swept in all directions, audible even from tens of thousands of meters away.
“This is where the opening ceremony of the exchange summit will be held!” Grandmaster Hua Yuan said. “Let’s go.”
With that, he led the way out of the s.p.a.cecraft.
w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes flickered, and he followed suit.
After flying out of the s.p.a.cecraft’s hatch, they soared downwards.
“Each faction has its own designated seats here, arranged according to their ranking in the previous exchange summit,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan explained, then sighed. “As for our Great Qian Empire’s Secondary Career Alliance, our seat should be well beyond the one-thousandth mark.”
“Beyond the one-thousandth mark!?” w.a.n.g Teng’s face showed a hint of disbelief.
Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others felt a little embarra.s.sed.
Even the young grandmasters like Xie Jia, Luo Tang, and Susanna were stunned.
Being beyond the one-thousandth mark was a bit embarra.s.sing.
“That’s all in the past. This time, I will strive for a higher ranking for our Great Qian Empire,” Grandmaster Xie Jia clenched his fist, speaking in a determined tone.
“Easier said than done. This exchange summit gathers too many geniuses, and our Great Qian Empire has never had any particular advantage,” Grandmaster Luo Tang sighed with a wry smile, shaking his head.
