With a thought, the Subspace Network Pass on his wrist suddenly lit up.
[Subspace Transmission Network, activated.]
[Target locked: Canaan Star System - Canaan Star.]
[Constructing Teleportation Beacon... Construction complete.]
[Teleportation, commencing!]
A brilliant pillar of light, composed of pure energy, instantly enveloped Qin Feng’s figure.
When the light faded, the spot where he had stood was empty.
Qin Feng had vanished from his home.
In the living room, only Qin Dahai was left, standing in silence.
After a long moment, he heaved a long sigh and shook his head.
He walked to the window and gazed out at the vast blue sky, as if he could see the distant figure of his son.
"That damn kid... he’s all grown up now. As his father, I should be happy!"
He muttered to himself, but an immensely proud smile couldn’t help but spread across his face.
"Son! I’ll be waiting for your good news!"
"You’ll definitely pass the entrance exam for Canaan Starry Sky Martial Arts University! I know you will!"
-----------------
The peculiar, fleeting sensation of Subspace Teleportation—as if his soul were being torn out and reshaped—lasted less than a second.
When Qin Feng opened his eyes again, the scene before him had changed dramatically.
He was no longer in his cozy, familiar bedroom, but instead stood within an immense metal hall that pulsed with a futuristic, sci-fi aesthetic.
The hall’s dome soared so high it was lost to sight. Countless soft bands of light, like flowing star rivers, drifted slowly across it, illuminating the entire space as brightly as day.
The floor, paved with some unknown alloy, was polished to a mirror finish.
All around him were countless other Martial Artists, just like him, emerging from pillars of teleportation light. People came and went in a constant, yet orderly, stream.
This was the Empire’s official Subspace Teleportation station, located at the heart of the Canaan Star System.
Unlike the planet-side "station" Qin Feng had imagined, this was an immense satellite Space Fortress, suspended in the Endless Cosmos!
Qin Feng walked to the edge of the hall and looked out through an enormous viewport made of high-strength crystalline glass.
A single glance was all it took for the scene outside to completely captivate him.
To his left, an immense planet hung silently against the black backdrop of the cosmos.
It was more than ten times larger than Morningstar, the planet he knew, and it resembled a magnificent, priceless emerald.
Its surface was covered with vast, lush primeval forests and boundless turquoise oceans, radiating a primal, majestic life force.
This was Canaan Star.
However, when Qin Feng turned his gaze to the other side, his breath hitched.
He saw... a tower.
No, "tower" was not the right word to describe it.
It was a behemoth that defied description in any known language, a structure that surpassed the very limits of human imagination, so magnificent that it bordered on despair.
It simply floated there, silent and defiant, amidst a magnificent, distant nebula.
Its form resembled an ancient, mysterious Heaven-Reaching Tower, but its scale was so immense it was simply inconceivable.
Its height could not be measured in kilometers, or even tens of thousands of kilometers.
Qin Feng’s gaze traveled upward from its base, past stardust, past a meteorite belt, past the light of countless stars... and still, he could not see its summit.
Its height could likely only be measured in light-years!
Canaan Star, which had seemed so immense just a moment ago, was as small and insignificant as a single grain of sand on a beach in the face of this ancient tower.
As for the Space Fortress serving as the teleportation station, a structure capable of holding millions, it didn’t even register as a speck of dust in comparison.
Simply by looking at it, an inexpressible sense of insignificance and suffocation, born from the most primal of instincts, washed over Qin Feng.
It felt as though his very soul was about to be completely devoured by that unreasonably magnificent existence.
This was the ultimate expression of megalophobia.
Any intelligent life form, when faced with a creation that surpasses the limits of their cognition—a structure so immense it could warp space and time—would inevitably feel the most primal sense of awe and terror.
’If I’m not mistaken...’
’This Heaven-Reaching Tower, stretching across the Star Sea, has to be the legendary...’
’Canaan Starry Sky Martial Arts University!’
An unprecedented storm raged in Qin Feng’s mind.
He finally understood why Canaan Starry Sky Martial Arts University was the Martial Arts Sacred Land for the entire star system.
The mere existence of its physical structure was something beyond a divine miracle.
Just as Qin Feng’s mind was reeling, he felt more than a dozen tangible, terrifying auras lock onto the entire teleportation hall from all directions.
He turned his head and saw squads of Martial Artists stationed at every key point in the hall. They were clad in custom silver-white power armor and wielded heavy Spiritual Weapons.
The insignia of Canaan Star was engraved on their power armor.
Simply by standing there, they exuded a heart-pounding, murderous aura of iron and blood.
The Canaan Star Guard.
Their very presence was to prevent any uncontrollable incidents from occurring in a place as crowded and chaotic as a teleportation station.
Qin Feng withdrew his gaze and calmed his turbulent emotions.
He noticed that these guards, despite their terrifying auras, didn’t question any of the travelers. As long as you did nothing out of the ordinary, they treated you as if you weren’t even there.
