Chapter 301: The Source of Yuan Qi
This situation was undoubtedly an unprecedented despair for Lu Jian.
Because it meant that even if the other party was just a force, a soul fragment, they had the power to kill him on the spot, even to ascend to heaven or burrow into the earth, omnipotent!
In the face of the despair of life and death, whether it is a Seventh Realm existence more powerful than a god, or an ordinary person drifting like duckweed, they are equal.
Even, the more one possesses, the more fear one has!
At this moment, Lu Jian no longer had the demeanor of a Sage! He was just struggling hysterically, even his face becoming extremely distorted.
With unconcealed fear!
In contrast, everyone present, from the Sun and Moon Ancestor to the disciples in the Body Tempering Stage, even all the martial artists in Tianyuan City who could see, all looked up with their heads held high, silently, looking at the black dragon hovering in the clouds with fear, and also looking at the “Sage” who was struggling desperately with a strange emotion.
Perhaps many people did not know the identity of this Sage, but they could also know that this was an existence they could not reach, and the strong man who initially caused their panic.
And those who knew the identity of this Sage, such as the Sun and Moon Ancestor of Tianyuan Sect, and some Mountain and Sea Realm experts, such as Shang Lian, who was also shocked and looked up at this unequal battle, the level of which completely exceeded her own cognition.
In everyone’s mind, only one thought remained.
โโShen Xing, truly comes from the Dragon Race!
There is indeed a Sage behind him, an extremely powerful Sage!
Yes, this homologous aura, this power to transform into a true dragon, how many years has it been since such a true dragon appeared in the whole world!
And Shang Lian and those from the Great Shang Dynasty were even more excited.
This meant they had made the right bet!
A brighter path was right in front of them!
All of this was also one of the reasons why Shen Xing decided to use the jade talisman instead of fleeing directly!
At this moment, the battle had reached its final stage. Lu Jian was somewhat relieved to realize that the other party did not seem to intend to erase him directly, to destroy his body and soul, but was gathering power, trying to inscribe something in his Divine Soul.
Realizing this, even though he was terrified, he dared not resist anymore.
In fact, he couldn’t resist at all.
Until the voice of the dragon soul fragment resounded through the heavens and the earth again.
“Serve my clan’s disciple for a thousand years, and I will spare your life! Otherwise, your body and soul will be destroyed!”
That’s right, Ji Long’s soul fragment had placed a restriction in Lu Jian’s Divine Soul, trying to control him.
Shen Xing could naturally guess the purpose of doing so.
However, there was not much joy on his face. He took a deep breath and stared ahead.
There, a human figure was slowly condensing.
It was Ji Long!
Although Shen Xing had seen him in pictures and images more than once, this was the first time he had faced him like this.
Moreover, just by looking at the gaze of this human figure, one could roughly guess that this soul fragment probably really had the self-awareness of the main body.
“Greetings, Councilor Ji Long.” Shen Xing realized that there were also many people looking at him cautiously. After calming down in his heart, he spoke first.
Naturally, he spoke in the language of the Human Federation.
“Don’t worry that I will harm you.” Ji Long spoke directly, “Here, my soul fragment cannot contact the main body, so the existence of this world and the way to come to this world are still in your hands.”
Hearing that he could not contact the main body, Shen Xing also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If he could contact the main body, it would be equivalent to directly exposing the existence of the other world.
However, it was just a slight relief.
He remained calm on the surface and said softly, “Please forgive me, Senior Ji Long. If I am not careful with such a secret, I am afraid it will cause trouble.”
“Your judgment is correct.” Ji Long nodded, his expression looking quite indifferent, but the next moment, it became somewhat fervent, “However, I hope that when you are ready to open this world, you can bring me here.”
“Because of the true dragons?” Shen Xing quickly realized the reason for this change.
As others had commented on Ji Long, he was a complete “dragon fanatic”.
He was not interested in many other things, even wealth and status.
But he was particularly obsessed with “dragons”.
This was also one of the reasons why Shen Xing was very wary of Ji Longโonce it involved true dragons, this person might not be able to remain calm.
He might do anything.
Shen Xing even regretted a little. If he had known that there would be a soul fragment of the creator in this jade talisman, he should have used Wenren Caifeng.
At least, even if Wenren Caifeng had a pursuit for this world, it would not be so fervent.
However, there was no need to regret it now. It was better to see this person’s reaction first.
Facing Shen Xing’s inquiry, Ji Long did not hide it at all.
“That’s right, this world actually has true dragons!” His figure was somewhat unstable, showing the extent of his emotional fluctuations.
In fact, he was still trying to control himself.
When he learned some information about this world through supernatural means from some people’s minds, even though he was just a soul fragment, he almost couldn’t control his emotions.
The existence of this world was too important, both for him and for the entire human civilization!
At this moment, he said with a serious face, “I suspect that this world is the source of Yuan Qi.”
“What?” Shen Xing was a little surprised.
“Since the appearance of the interdimensional portals and Yuan Qi, we have explored the other worlds for two thousand years and have discovered a total of four hundred and thirty-two different other worlds.” Ji Long slowly spoke of information that only Federation councilors knew, “And all the other worlds, regardless of their level, size, or situation, are actually of the same origin. And those other worlds are not planets at all, but more like some unique spaces, just like the secret realm hereโthe current mainstream speculation is that they are ‘world fragments’.”
It has to be said that if someone else said the term “world fragments” to Shen Xing, Shen Xing would be skeptical.
But coming from Ji Long’s mouth, the credibility was undoubtedly greatly increased.
If the other worlds that appeared in the Human Federation were really some “world fragments”, it was indeed possible that they came from this world.
Not to mention anything else, this world also did not seem to be a “planet”.
Since Shen Xing obtained the spaceship, he had actually tried to fly upwards, but the higher he went, the more unstable the space became. He couldn’t fly out at all. And even after flying to a very high altitude, when looking down at the earth, he still couldn’t see any curvature.
Either it was infinitely vast, so vast that the height was only an insignificant distance on the entire scale.
Or, it meant that this world was not a “planet” style world at all.
But there were indeed the sun, moon, and stars in the sky.
Shen Xing thought about this and was also faintly excited. If this world was really the origin of Yuan Qi, and those so-called “other worlds” really came from this world, it meant that this world and the Human Federation had a very deep connection.
“Even if this is not the case, the traces of true dragons and the martial arts civilization in this world will be of great help to us.” Ji Long said again, then looked at Shen Xing, “You are considering your own safety and interests, which is normal, but if you want to maximize your interests, you still need to unite with the Human Federation.”
“Naturally.” Shen Xing had already understood Ji Long’s words and immediately nodded, “I am a Federation citizen, so I naturally understand this reason.”
“If that’s the case, then there’s no need to worry too much that we will harm you.” Ji Long suddenly smiled. This was the first time a smile appeared on this soul fragment’s face, “Such a world, only through cooperation can we gain something. You understand this reason, and we and the Human Federation naturally understand it too.”
“Give me some more time.” Shen Xing’s courage also increased a little, and he just said so.
Mainly, he had already seen that the power possessed by this soul fragment was actually running out.
Presumably, no matter how powerful he was, controlling a Seventh Realm expert was almost the limit.
After all, it was just a jade talisman, a soul fragment.
“Good, the initiative is still in your hands.” Ji Long nodded, “I have already placed a restriction in that Seventh Realm expert’s Divine Soul. However, this kind of restriction is not impossible to remove. Even by himself, it will take at most four to five hundred years to slowly wear it down. If there is help from other Seventh Realm experts, it can be even faster. If there is a Seventh Realm Completion expert, it can only restrict him for about ten years at most.”
Shen Xing nodded, indicating that he understood.
He didn’t ask what would happen if there was an Eighth Realm expert.
That would definitely be lifted in minutes.
However, the other party should not have Eighth Realm power. This could be perceived from the reaction of the Sword Tomb Holy Son last time.
Therefore, this “Seventh Realm fighter” should be usable.
While Shen Xing was thinking about these things, Ji Long’s body was becoming more and more faint, and the power of this soul fragment had also reached its limit.
In the end, he did not say anything else, but just turned around and looked at the mountains and seas in front of him, with endless joy in his eyes.
Perhaps, not just for the true dragons.
But also for the future of martial arts, for the future of human civilization.
Shen Xing just watched him disappear, faintly feeling that perhaps people like Ji Long, who were at the forefront of human martial arts, constantly exploring the path of martial arts for the entire human civilization, truly held a beautiful expectation for human civilization in their hearts.
This made Shen Xing unknowingly feel a greater sense of belonging to the Human Federation.
After all, this world in front of him was always an “other” world to him.
At this moment, Shen Xing also came back to his senses, looked up at the Seventh Realm expert in the sky who was still staring at him. He saw that this person was nervous, his expression complex, but it seemed that he had confirmed Ji Long’s disappearance, and he quickly became expressionless.
