Chapter 408
As Wang Baole and Jin Duoming were looking at the black jellyfish and listening to the illusory female figure calmly describing it, outside in the vast galaxy, beyond Mars and the Sun, an almost identical black jellyfish was cruising quickly in space .

This black jellyfish was extremely large, almost as large as a celestial cruiser . Numerous tentacles were flailing as its body moved, as if it could reduce the distance between space bit by bit . It looked like it was charging forward, but was actually shape-shifting continuously!
This black jellyfish was the Sea Glutton mentioned by the illusory female figure!
Right now, even though the body of this jellyfish was pitch-black such that outsiders weren’t able to see through it, in reality, there were actually three cultivators sitting with their legs crossed inside it!
The three people were all middle-aged men with solemn expressions . They were clearly individuals who had been stained with blood and were proficient at killing . That was especially so for one of them, who had a red centipede crawling on his face, as if connected to his flesh and blood . Occasionally, it wriggled, making him look extremely frightening .
Their manner of dress was different from that on Earth . Instead of long robes, they donned scale-like armor, which seemed to have other miraculous functions . In addition, as the three of them meditated, waves emerged from their bodies . Those waves appeared to have been hidden by the black jellyfish, but inside the jellyfish’s body, it was extremely obvious, and sufficient to suppress all Core Formation realm cultivators .
The trio were… Nascent Soul realm elites that were superior to Core Formation realm cultivators!
It was also at this time that the jellyfish, which was shape-shifting in the galaxy, suddenly stopped . When that happened, waves emerged from its body, breaking the meteoroid in its path to powder .
In reality, this jellyfish didn’t even care about the meteoroid that it had broken to pieces . It stopped momentarily in the galaxy and was no longer black . Instead, a brilliant light glowed from it while it adjusted its head position slightly, as if trying to find something .
Finally, after deciding on a direction, the colorful glow from its body grew even more brilliant . At the same time, the trio who were meditating with crossed legs opened their eyes almost simultaneously, revealing their pupils that were of a different color than that of people on Earth!

Their pupils were red, and perhaps it was due to the color, but after the trio opened their eyes, a vicious force that was extremely ruthless emerged . One of them even licked his lips and began laughing .
“Who would have thought that there were still signs of civilization here…”
“Shall we go take a look?” Another person followed . The two of them eventually looked at the last person, the cultivator with a red centipede crawling on his face .
This person’s eyes were distinctively redder . He touched the centipede on his face gently and began speaking calmly .
“Go and take a look . If there are no high-level cultivators, then destroy it and take away its Stellar Source . If a high-level cultivator is present, then decide the course of action based on the situation!”
As he spoke, the other two people nodded their heads . Soon, they adjusted the state of the black jellyfish . Before long, the black jellyfish which had stopped in mid-air suddenly picked up speed, shifting forward . Its goal this time was… the Solar System!
At the same time, in the Anti-Spirit Bomb research facility on Mars, Wang Baole’s gaze had already shifted away from the black jellyfish within the metal walls . He exchanged glances with Jin Duoming and felt like they had widened their world view .
In reality, no matter how widely knowledgeable Jin Duoming felt about himself, he was still immensely shocked by everything in the research facility . The duo moved continually along the passageway, entering the research facility while following the illusory female figure’s lead .
Along the way, they saw countless research staff who were wearing their uniforms . They didn’t care much about Jin Duoming and Wang Baole’s arrival . Instead, they were busy moving around, as if there were so many things on their hands that they had no time to pay attention to their surroundings .

The reason Wang Baole and Jin Duoming had come was to view the research facility, as well as pay Zhao Pinfang a visit . Therefore, the illusory female figure had received the notice and didn’t bring them to research room number three . Rather, she led them on a tour of the research facility, starting from room number one .
Soon, as Wang Baole and Jin Duoming reached the end of the passageway, a region half the area of Dao Mountain Mist Academy appeared before their eyes . There were many people here, as well as many pieces of high-level equipment that Wang Baole wasn’t familiar with .
Of these, the most eye-catching were the tens of giant crystal vats erected in the region . The vats were transparent, each with the circumference that approximated the arm lengths of tens of people . It was touching the ceiling and the ground from top to bottom, and was filled with a translucent fluid that was submerging a frightening corpse that took Wang Baole by surprised when he saw it!
Every one of those corpses looked extremely frightening . There were some who were very well built but were headless, others who had nipples as their eyes and belly buttons as their mouths, and there were even a few who had the upper body of a female but a lower body of a snake!
At the same time, there were also fire-men whose bodies were made of flames despite being submerged in fluid, as well as fierce three-headed giant dogs .
Wang Baole even saw a dragon with wings, a creature from the West as described in the ancient myths!
“This… This…” Wang Baole’s first thought was that he had entered the wrong place, as he pointed at the headless burly man while looking with shock at the illusory female figure .
Jin Duoming, who was beside him, also gasped . However, he seemed to have heard about the research room one and managed to remain calm somehow .
“Research room one, also known as the Mythical Research Center, is the place where research on every single mythical creature that has been discovered on Earth is done . In addition, attempts at recreating them will be made based on the Spirit Inception Era’s unique methods . Of course, you can even consider it as a form of revival!

“Only a portion is shown here . The hundreds of sculptures in the Federation cannot be placed randomly . In reality, we have found signs of existence for every single mythical god placed there!”
Wang Baole’s breathing quickened, his heart trembling vigorously . The tour of the research facility hadn’t ended, but to him, it had already opened up a whole new world before him . He even felt that he was starting to get into direct contact with the real secrets of the Federation!
It was also after seeing everything that Wang Baole suddenly realized that what he knew about the Federation previously was just the tip of the iceberg!
Even though Wang Baole had made similar guesses previously, it was never as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes .
This shock remained strong, shaking Wang Baole’s emotions and thoughts long after he had left research room number one . It kept churning until he arrived in research room number two with Jin Duoming
The moment they stepped in, Wang Baole’s riled emotions were once again thrown into chaos . He stared with his eyes wide . If research room number one allowed Wang Baole to notice signs of ancient mythical beings existing, then research room number two showed him the glory of the Spirit Inception Era!
There was a mountain here!
The mountain was located in the heart of research room two . It wasn’t very big, only over a hundred feet tall, and was completely black . However, any cultivator who saw this mountain would have their cultivation being activated uncontrollably, as if it had been strongly attracted . That was the case for Wang Baole and Jin Duoming as well, as their cultivation now seemed impossible to control and on the brink of breaking out of their bodies .
Their minds instantly buzzed with activity, as if they were about to explode . Thankfully, research room two seemed to have been specially equipped . The illusory female figure, seemingly having expected this to happen, immediately waved her arm . Instantly, a suppressive force was felt, alleviating the raging cultivation in Wang Baole and Jin Duoming’s body .
After a while, Wang Baole and Jin Duoming finally managed to compose themselves . Their breathing quickened, and before Wang Baole could speak, Jin Duoming hurriedly asked .
“Could that be the… Stellar Source?”
“Stellar Source?” Wang Baole was shocked . It wasn’t the first time he had heard those words . Now, as he looked at the mountain, his heart was beating with shock . He turned to look at the illusory female figure for an answer .
“The arrival of the Spirit Inception Era means that not only humans, but any creature can cultivate . This is the case for the star as well . The star could be deemed as another form of life, and the so-called Stellar Source is its core, which is also a very precious item in a star!
“It’s a pity that the Spirit Inception Era is still in its juvenile stage . Therefore, there aren’t many Stellar Sources that were formed from the planets in the Solar System . What you see are parts of the Stellar Source from Mars!”
As the illusory female figure explained, Wang Baole’s heart trembled . He wanted to speak, but was immediately shocked as he vaguely felt that there was another form of existence in the interior of this Stellar Source!
“Is there something else inside?” Wang Baole raised his hand and pointed at the Stellar Source, before looking towards the illusory female figure .
Jin Duoming was shocked . He didn’t sense anything, while the illusory female figure glanced at Wang Baole several times . Her facial expression suddenly changed . It appeared that she had never imagined that Wang Baole would be able to see through part of the Stellar Source’s interior!
