Chapter 508: The Great Tang Star
Liuguang realm, Great Tang Star.
The Great Tang Star was huge, equivalent to more than ten Saturns. It was considered a ma.s.sive planet.
The Liuguang Realm was the center of the Immortal Realm, and the Great Tang Star was equivalent to a transportation hub.
The teleportation array here led to various realms in the Immortal Realm.
Therefore, it was especially prosperous and lively.
People came and went on the streets. They were basically people from all walks of life in the Immortal Realm.
The daily human traffic was basically maintained at hundreds of billions.
This place was jointly managed by two top factions.
Therefore, even though there was a lot of traffic here, social order was still stable and orderly.
When Qin Chuan left the teleportation array, he was instantly shocked by the dense crowd.
The area within a radius of tens of kilometers was filled with dense crowds. High-tech s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps and large-scale transportation artifacts floated in the sky.
This was only a waiting hall inside a teleportation station.
There were millions of such teleportation stations on the Great Tang Star.
This place not only accepted people from the Immortal Realm but also outsiders from various s.p.a.ce fields in the universe.
From this, it could be seen how prosperous this place was.
At this moment, an apple-sized flying robot arrived in front of him.
The flying robots conducted a strict scan of Qin Chuan.
After scanning, the flying robot projected a virtual interface.
“Please fill in the contents,” said the flying robot.
Qin Chuan glanced at the interface. He needed to fill in his personal ident.i.ty.
After filling it in, the flying robot extended a thin tube.
“According to instructions from the management of the Great Tang Star, we need to extract blood from outsiders. Please cooperate.
“If you don’t cooperate, we have the right to restrict your movements on the Great Tang Star or expel you,” said the flying robot in a warning tone.
This was the rule of the Great Tang Star.
Qin Chuan had done his homework before coming here.
This was to better manage and maintain order on the planet.
After all, this was a transportation hub. There were all kinds of people here. If anything dangerous or public happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qin Chuan also cooperated and allowed the flying robot to extract a small tube of blood.
Then, the flying robot imprinted a string of codes on Qin Chuan’s arm.
This code was equivalent to a pa.s.s. Every place on the Great Tang Star required this code to be scanned for entry.
Before long, Qin Chuan left the teleportation hall and arrived outside.
The scene outside was even more shocking.
Although the Great Tang Star belonged to the Immortal realm, its architectural style was not ancient at all. It was very futuristic.
Skysc.r.a.pers that were tens of thousands of meters tall lined up like a bamboo forest. They were very magnificent.
All the high-tech cars flew in an orderly manner in the air. It seemed crowded, but traffic accidents were rare.
The teleportation station to the Buddhist Realm was tens of millions of kilometers away from Qin Chuan.
He was not in a hurry. He had been traveling day and night for the past two months and was a little tired.
Qin Chuan planned to relax for two days to adjust his condition.
As he was an outsider, he was not allowed to fly privately in the city.
If caught, other than being fined, he might even be expelled.
Qin Chuan didn’t dare to act rashly in this unfamiliar place.
There was a taxi stop not far from the teleportation station.
This stop covered an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, and there were countless taxis coming and going.
Qin Chuan was luckier. As soon as he arrived at the stop, a taxi stopped in front of him.
The taxi was about to leave, but the pa.s.senger suddenly got off.
And Qin Chuan lucked out.
“Where to, Immortal?” asked the driver, opening the window.
The drivers on the Great Tang Star were basically ordinary people.
The driver had seen countless people and was certain at a glance that Qin Chuan was an immortal cultivator.
“Can you leave now?” asked Qin Chuan.
“Sure, sure!” The driver nodded.
“Immortal, you’re from the outside world, right?” asked the driver.
“Mm!”
“According to the rules, please show us your code,” said the driver respectfully.
“Is this it?” Qin Chuan stretched out his arm and showed the string of codes.
The driver clicked on a function on the car’s monitor, and a scanner appeared at the side door.
After scanning and confirming that there was no problem with Qin Chuan’s pa.s.scode, the driver allowed Qin Chuan to get in.
“Where are you going, Immortal?” asked the driver, turning around.
“Do you have a map?” asked Qin Chuan.
“Yes!” The driver pressed a b.u.t.ton on the monitor, and a map was immediately projected on the roof.
The driver felt that a cultivator like Qin Chuan probably wouldn’t know how to use such advanced technology.
He stopped the vehicle at the side and spent two to three minutes explaining to Qin Chuan how to use this 3D projection map.
After a few demonstrations, Qin Chuan had a rough idea of how to use it.
He tapped on a name on the map and enlarged it.
“Let’s go to this place!” Qin Chuan was referring to a hotel near the teleportation station.
The driver took a look. It was about 2,000 kilometers away.
For a ma.s.sive planet like Great Tang Star, a distance of 2,000 kilometers wasn’t particularly far, but it still took an hour’s drive.
“Immortal, we’ll set off then.
“I’ll have to trouble you to activate the safety barrier. If you don’t use it and the enforcement team sees me, I’ll have points deducted.
“So…” said the driver carefully.
Having been in this line of work for so long, he often encountered cultivators who were very uncooperative.
But he couldn’t do anything. He was an ordinary person, while the other party was a powerful immortal cultivator.
Cultivators would rarely listen to ordinary people.
For this, he got countless points deducted and paid countless fines.
“How does this safety barrier work?” asked Qin Chuan.
The driver heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally met a cooperative immortal cultivator.
“Immortal, there’s a sign beside your seat. Just touch it,” said the driver.
Qin Chuan took a look. There was indeed a symbol.
As soon as he tapped it, his body was wrapped in an energy barrier.
In the event of a traffic accident, this energy barrier could effectively protect the lives of the pa.s.sengers.
Although it was not of much use to Qin Chuan, he still had to abide by the local laws.
The driver started the hovering car.
“Immortal, this is a crowded area, and there’s a speed limit. We’ll move slower, so don’t be too anxious.
“After this stretch of road, I’ll immediately turn into a highway. Please wait patiently,” said the driver as he drove.
He had received countless immortal cultivators and concluded that they were more impatient.
He was also worried that Qin Chuan would be like those immortal cultivators. If he had an especially bad temper, he would be tense and nervous throughout the journey.
However, he saw that Qin Chuan had a delicate and refined appearance. At the same time, he was willing to cooperate with him. He shouldn’t be someone like that.
“Sir, I’m not in a hurry. You can just drive at ease.”
Qin Chuan was indeed easy to talk to, and he was really not in a hurry.
He could take a short break while he was in the vehicle.
“Yes, understood!”
Through the rearview mirror, the driver saw that Qin Chuan’s eyes were closed. He immediately slowed down and tried his best to drive steadily.
Before long, the car pa.s.sed through the crowded area smoothly. They were about to get on the highway.
The highway here was not on the ground but in the sky.
Speed was not restricted on the highway, but there was a restriction for the minimum speed.
If one’s speed was lower than the minimum, it would be considered dangerous driving, and one’s license might be revoked.
The driver increased the speed of the car but did not drive very fast. As long as the speed was not below the minimum, there would be no problem.
Time pa.s.sed slowly
He was getting closer and closer to the destination.
The driver was highly focused. On such an unrestricted road, it was very likely that an accident would happen if he was distracted.
Although the car was equipped with an advanced AI system that allowed it to drive automatically without human control and had all kinds of warning functions, the probability of a traffic accident was extremely low.
The driver felt that AI was not a real person after all. It only needed to a.s.sist in driving. Only by controlling the car himself would he feel safe.
Just then, the car’s warning system flashed an alarm.
