Chapter 375

The Dragon Rebel River was like a corridor from the Realm River to the Cosmic Sea.

In this area, space was very unstable, and there were often interstellar storms. Therefore, the planets that could exist were those with large masses and high densities. Such planets usually had terrifyingly high gravity and were not suitable for life. Moreover, due to the high gravity, many spaceships could not escape once they docked. Therefore, there was no place for spaceships to land in the Dragon Rebel River, and they could only keep sailing.

Moreover, space was unstable. If spaceships used Space Jump or Space Shuttle, there was a high chance that they would be sucked into space turbulence. Therefore, all spaceships in the Dragon Rebel River could only use normal navigation mode. The Dragon Rebel River was not long, but it would take about twenty-eight days to travel in normal mode with Titan Battleship's speed. It was undoubtedly a long journey for Gu Ding and the others.

What Gu Ding did not know was that while they and Fart were leaving Risdate, their spaceship was being watched by some people.

The spaceship sailed in the Dragon Rebel River for three days. Gu Ding continued to study martial arts concepts in Robert's domain. He asked Neptune to send the videos of martial arts concepts to Biggie and the others so that they could study them when they had time. Although they might not be able to find anything, it would not hurt to watch.

Neptune's authority was still limited. The highest level of martial arts concepts he could bring out was only Consonance Realm. In fact, since ancient times, the highest level of martial arts concepts that most Supreme Deities could comprehend was the second major realm, Consonance Realm. There were very few who could reach the third major realm, Illumination Realm.

Biggie's Consonance Realm Swordsmanship Realm was not far from Consonance Realm. Therefore, these videos were beneficial to him. He also cultivated in Robert's domain with Gu Ding, but the videos he studied were all above Consonance Realm.

Elsa was also cultivating in seclusion with the two of them. The moment she received the videos, she watched the one hundred and twenty-eight Refinement Realm videos that Neptune had suggested and quickly found the feeling. It seemed that after the transformation of her bloodline, not only had her body been strengthened, but her perception had also been greatly enhanced.

Seeing Elsa meditating not far away, Gu Ding knew that if nothing went wrong, Elsa would comprehend martial arts concepts sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.

As for Dockett and Lilliath, their comprehension of martial arts was not as good. They watched the video many times but still could not get the hang of it.

Three days passed, and Erza was still in a meditative state. Gu Ding's martial arts had finally entered the small success of the Nuance Realm, and his strength had improved once again. After all, Biggie's starting point was too high, so he did not gain much. However, he had a good attitude and spent most of his time reading recipes every day. In his free time, he would repeatedly watch videos and nurture the tinder in his body.

The tinder in Biggie's body was known as Blade Fire. This type of flame was different from the Sacred Fire in Gu Ding's body. It was born from the Sword Dao and could only exist in the body of a Sword Dao powerhouse. It could not be materialized and used against an enemy. To be precise, Sword Fire was not a type of Divine Fire. Instead, it was a sword gleam produced by Sword Dao. However, like Divine Fire, it had the effect of automatically tempering one's physical body. Furthermore, it was shaped like a white flame, which was why it was called Sword Fire. As for Biggie, more than 95% of his physical body had been transformed into God Source. He was not far from complete transformation.

After breaking through the Martial Arts Realm, Gu Ding knew that he would need more resources if he wanted to improve his strength further. He had basically used up all the resources he had obtained from the Ouer Sector. The remaining ones were of too high quality and he could not use them. He had no choice but to stop his closed-door cultivation and withdraw from Robert's domain.

Faust did not feel bored for the past few days. Gu Ding and Erza were the only ones in Gu Ding's crew. Robert did not appear for three days. Lilliath and Dockett were free every day except for their regular cultivation. The three of them often hung out together.

Biggie, on the other hand, cooked three meals a day. The rest of the time was used for cultivation and reading recipes.

As for Tagore, he only ate and slept every day. He was indifferent to everyone. In order to please him, Faust had fed him a lot of two-star monster crystals. A two-star monster was comparable to a medium deity. A monster crystal was at least seventy percent of the monster's value. The cheapest two-star monster crystal cost hundreds of millions of Universe Crystals. Gu Ding could not afford to feed it. However, Faust had fed ten of them to Tagore in the past three days. However, he was rich and did not care about the money. He was more concerned about Tagore's breed. After three days of observation, he could not tell what breed Tagore belonged to. No matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary ocelot.

Lilliath also noticed that Faust fed Tagore a two-star monster crystal. She was curious about Faust's identity. Faust was just a demigod, and a Lower Rank deity might not be able to save up enough money to buy a two-star monster crystal in a year. Therefore, the moment Gu Ding came out of closed-door cultivation, she went over to him. "Gu Ding, does this little fatty Faust come from a particularly rich family? I saw him feeding Tagore beast crystals. He's fed a billion Universe Crystals in the past three days. He doesn't care about it at all. A billion Universe Crystals is enough to buy one or two three-star god item cultivation resources. "

Gu Ding did not plan to hide it anymore when Lilliath asked. "He's from the Gates family."

"Which Gates family?" Lilliath was stunned at first. After asking the question, she suddenly remembered. "Are you talking about the Gates family of the Fenance Financial Group?"

Gu Ding nodded silently.

"A branch family?" Lilliath continued to ask.

"His father's name is Stephen." Gu Ding knew that Lilliath must have heard of the name.

"Stephen Gates?!" Lilliath's eyes widened. "The head of the Fenance Financial Group?!"

Gu Ding nodded and said nothing more.

"But I remember that the Gates family only has one son in this generation. Even his name has not been revealed to the outside world. There's almost no news about him on Skynet. How did you find out who he is?" Lilliath still did not quite believe it.

"Neptune hacked into his intelligent wristwatch."

Gu Ding's answer stopped Lilliath from asking any more questions. She knew that Neptune's investigation would not be wrong.

Gu Ding saw the corner of Lilliath's mouth curl up. This was her trademark smirk. It meant that Lilliath had come up with some weird elf idea.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Ding looked at her a little warily.

"Nothing. I just want to blackmail him for a membership card with a discount from the Fenance Financial Group. If I can't give him a 30% discount, I can give him a 50% discount … "Lilliath looked up at the ceiling. It was as if she could see herself getting a discount after getting the membership card.

"Forget it. He thinks I don't know who he is. That's why he got on our spaceship. If you ask him for a membership card, I'm afraid he'll think that we've been plotting something from the beginning. "Gu Ding felt that this was not a good idea.

"Even if he's plotting something, he wouldn't be plotting for a membership card. If he really wanted to do something, we'd tie him up first, strip him naked, and take all his belongings. Finally, we'd find a place near a black hole and kick him off the spaceship …" Lilliath said in a serious tone. Seeing that Gu Ding was just looking at her silently, she did not want to give up. "If we don't ask him for a membership card, how about stealing one? When he's sleeping at night, we can ask Neptune to help us without anyone knowing. "

"He's on our spaceship now. He's a guest. It doesn't make sense to steal from a guest." Gu Ding shook his head and rejected Lilliath's bad idea.

"Alright then …" Lilliath could only hang her head dejectedly when she heard Gu Ding's words.

When they arrived in the living room, Faust was watching the news. When he saw Gu Ding, he greeted him with a smile. "I haven't seen you for a few days. You guys are really diligent in your cultivation. I see that Lili and the others have been practicing every day. The day before yesterday, I couldn't help but spar with Dockett. Although I'm a demigod, I couldn't even take one hit from Dockett. He even told me that he's the weakest in your crew. "

"That's what it's like to be an Interstellar Pirate. You might be attacked by your opponents every day. If you don't become stronger, you'll be killed sooner or later. That's why you can't fall behind in your cultivation." The law of the jungle was even crueler in the Interstellar Pirate World. Gu Ding had learned this truth not long after he left Cerule.

"I'm watching the news. Your crew is really popular. It's been three days since you left Risstat, and the media is still reporting about you guys entering the Dragon Rebel River." Faust could not help but sigh. He found it strange that he had looked up a lot about Gu Ding's crew these days, but there was not much negative news. There were even very few negative comments on Skynet. When Gu Ding's crew was mentioned on Skynet, there was a very envious tone, and there were a lot of fans. Moreover, among these fans, there were many young people and middle-aged women who already had children.

Faust's contact with them over the past few days had greatly changed his impression of the Interstellar Pirate profession. He had originally thought that Interstellar Pirates were a group of unruly criminals who gathered together to plunder, kill, and set fire to the stars. Wherever they went, not even a blade of grass would grow. However, on Gu Ding's spaceship, everyone was like a family, and the atmosphere was very warm. Although there were occasional bickering, it was just for fun. Everyone took good care of each other, and the food was exceptionally delicious every day. It felt like a group of friends on vacation.

Faust did not have many friends growing up because his family was too rich. To ensure his safety, he had hired a private tutor to complete his education. He had never gone to school and had never made friends with children his age. He had entered the financial industry at the age of twelve. For the past four years, apart from working on a few projects for his father's financial group every year, he had also spent his spare time investing. His private stash of money had become an astronomical figure.

Every year, there would be a rich list in Cosmic Sea. The list was based on personal wealth, and three thousand people would be listed. Faust had seen last year's list. Based on his bank savings alone, he was ranked 368th on that list. Now that more than half a year had passed, he should be even higher on that list. It was not impossible for him to be in the top three hundred. However, the bank where Faust's savings was under his family's name, and his account was hidden from the public. Moreover, some of the projects he invested in were in the family's name, not his own, so there was no ranking.

While Faust's thoughts were slightly distracted, he saw Gu Ding's expression suddenly change.

"There are a few spaceships approaching. I don't think they have any good intentions …" Gu Ding frowned slightly. He had heard from Neptune that these spaceships had been following them from afar for three days.
