Chapter 366: Changes in Civilization

The potential existence of powerful enemies did not affect what Shen Xing was doing.

In fact, it even increased his efficiency in further improving his strength.

After the meeting ended, the other Supreme Councilors returned to their posts on the most dangerous front-line battlefields, while Shen Xing, after leaving coordinates on the front-line battlefield, returned to Taixu City.

He used this place as his main cultivation ground.

Normally, the Tai Xu World would be more suitable for cultivation. However, Shen Xing was now completely different.

He sat in his City Lord’s Mansion, ensuring that all the barriers and restrictions were stable and without any problems.

With a wave of his hand, a shuttle appeared in his hand.

Yes, it was the mysterious shuttle in his mind!

After stepping into the Seventh Realm, or more accurately, after completely mastering the Space Great Path, Shen Xing had a very clear feeling. He felt that only at this moment did he truly become the master of this mysterious treasure, its owner, its controller.

This was completely different from before.

Previously, even when he reached the Sun and Moon Realm, he could only passively use the shuttle’s power according to its rules. But now, Shen Xing could completely control it, even sensing every single inscription within it!

Yes, inscriptions!

“It’s truly unbelievable.” Shen Xing poured his Divine Sense into the shuttle and muttered to himself, “All the inscriptions within this, or rather, all the lines, are not composed of individual inscriptions at all, but nine incredibly complex, gigantic ‘inscriptions’ specifically created for the shuttle!”

That’s right, from the perspective of inscription technology, the technology contained in this shuttle completely surpassed understanding.

In the Tai Xu World, whether it was divine weapons, grand formations, or any other seemingly complex power, they were all composed of individual inscriptions.

Inscriptions were born from the insights of the refiners.

Just like Martial Path Intents, a complete Martial Path Intent, from the moment of its birth, formed a complete whole within the Divine Soul. The so-called learning of a Martial Path Intent was simply copying this whole directly.

Perhaps it could be improved, but this improvement was not a gradual change to the intent itself.

Instead, it was a natural, profound transformation that occurred when new insights were formed.

However, this was completely different.

It itself only had nine inscriptions, but each one was like an indescribable existence, seemingly casually designed bit by bit, rather than a sudden flash of insight.

In other words, this was the true “creation” of inscriptions!

Shen Xing could no longer determine what realm these nine inscriptions belonged to. Even the Ninth Realm seemed unable to explain it. It was like an extremely dense chip, seemingly small, yet containing boundless mysteries.

However, Shen Xing didn’t need to know what realm it was.

He only needed to know that the mysteries of space were all within it!

“Nine inscriptions. One of them is used to set coordinates, another three are used to achieve teleportation. As for the rest, I can only see that one supports the endless space of the shuttle. There are still four that I can’t understand their functions at all. Perhaps one or more of them are used to imprint space Martial Path Intents onto me?” Shen Xing returned the shuttle to his Divine Soul, closed his eyes, and began to analyze it with all his might.

This shuttle itself was the ultimate secret of space martial arts, the best teacher.

Moreover, Shen Xing had easily discovered a new function.

He was sitting in Taixu City in the Human Federation’s universe, but vast Yuan Qi was continuously pouring in from the Tai Xu World.

Because he had already opened and maintained a channel within his Divine Soul.

However, after cultivating like this for about a month, Shen Xing had to open his eyes.

It wasn’t that there was a problem. His cultivation in the Seventh Realm mainly focused on the accumulation of Yuan Power. Even his comprehension of space was just preparation for higher levels in the future, not a bottleneck on the road to the Eighth Realm.

It was just that he had realized that his massive absorption method was undoubtedly accelerating the destruction of the Tai Xu World.

Moreover, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of those Eighth Realm martial artists.

——His absorption alone was almost comparable to the absorption of the entire Eighth Realm world from the Tai Xu World.

At least one-tenth.

Keep in mind, he had just entered the Seventh Realm. At this rate, by the time he reached the late stage of the Seventh Realm, he might be absorbing ten times what the Eighth Realm world was taking from the Tai Xu World.

This wasn’t just accelerating the time of destruction tenfold.

It was estimated that in a few thousand years, the entire Tai Xu World would rapidly weaken to the extreme and then completely collapse.

Shen Xing still wanted to save the fate of the entire Tai Xu World and, in the process, become half its master, half its owner.

After all, such a vast and prosperous world must be rare in the Void Universe.

It would be a pity to let it be destroyed.

“I need to find a way to obtain Yuan Qi from other places,” Shen Xing muttered to himself.

For him now, it wasn’t impossible.

The answer, naturally, was the void.

In the Void Universe, Yuan Qi was the foundation of everything, pervading the entire universe, everywhere, just as the Federation’s universe was actually filled with dust and radioactive particles.

In the void turbulence, countless space bubbles were born and annihilated, all carrying Yuan Qi.

However, compared to the Yuan Qi aggregate of the Tai Xu World, the Yuan Qi in those places was extremely thin.

However, this thinness was only for ordinary martial artists.

At this time, Shen Xing naturally had his methods.

With a single movement, Shen Xing directly disappeared from his original location and appeared in a dark void with no concept of space.

Here, countless spaces turbulently washed over everything, just like when Shen Xing first arrived. At that time, he even felt that his body was divided into countless parts, swallowed by countless spaces.

He had relied on Wenren Caifeng’s Eighth Realm Yuan Power to protect him.

But now, Shen Xing just raised his hand and gently hooked.

A space bubble composed of his Yuan Power appeared, enveloping his entire body.

This space bubble was not large, only about the size of a room.

But this was just the beginning.

As Shen Xing continued to inject Yuan Power, the entire space rapidly expanded.

It became comparable to a city, then a country, then a region, until it gradually transformed into a world.

◈◈◈

It stopped when it reached the size of the home planet.

Shen Xing’s face was slightly pale.

This was the current limit of his Yuan Power.

The sealed space created when he sealed Sage Wuyou was only one-tenth the size of this space.

In other words, if ten Sage Wuyous came here, they wouldn’t be able to break through the barrier and escape even if they joined forces.

However, Shen Xing’s power was also completely exhausted.

And next, it was time to reap the rewards.

He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the “spaces” that were constantly colliding with the barrier of this world. He actively absorbed most of them, and wisps of Yuan Qi began to pour in from the boundaries of the world, becoming more and more numerous, and faster and faster.

There was even a faint pressure permeating the entire world.

That’s right, it was the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique.

This was the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique, which had now been promoted to the peak of Heaven Grade! It could not only refine Yuan Qi but also refine the world!

After closing his eyes and cultivating for a while, Shen Xing opened his eyes again, a look of joy on his face.

“It’s actually not slow!”

That’s right, he originally thought that the efficiency of absorbing Yuan Qi by relying on the impact of space turbulence would be much slower. But unexpectedly, the amount and purity of Yuan Qi brought by these fragmented spaces exceeded his expectations.

You must know that as more Yuan Qi is absorbed, the size of this world will also increase.

Then, more and more spaces will collide with it.

It was like a sponge that could never be filled, crazily absorbing everything in the void, growing itself, and then rapidly absorbing everything!

Shen Xing estimated that in about a thousand years at most, its absorption efficiency would surpass his direct and frantic absorption from the Tai Xu World!

Then, it would surpass it even further!

“A thousand years.” Shen Xing seemed to sigh at the passage of time, and then he returned to Taixu City.

With the shuttle, he didn’t need to stay there at all. Or rather, his location, the place he was in, along with the entire space itself, had lost meaning to him.

Shen Xing began to cultivate again.

He didn’t give up absorbing Yuan Qi from the Tai Xu World, but he was more careful not to attract attention.

His own cultivation speed was the most important thing.

Cultivating at the current speed for a thousand years wouldn’t deplete much of the Tai Xu World’s essence.

“Speaking of which, the worlds in the Tai Xu Universe should have been born like this.” Shen Xing seemed to realize something, “A larger bubble passively absorbs the surrounding smaller bubbles. Although it can’t compare to me actively absorbing with a cultivation technique, in the long river of time, there is indeed a chance to form one world after another. This is similar to the birth of stars in the Federation’s universe.”

Shen Xing couldn’t help but smile.

To be able to see such similarities between two seemingly different worlds, one had to marvel at the mysteries of the universe.

He began his true cultivation.

After completely immersing himself in cultivation, time seemed to accelerate for him.

If it weren’t for regularly going to the Tai Xu World to handle some documents that required his personal attention, and regularly contacting his old friends, Shen Xing estimated that he could sit like this for a thousand years, and it wouldn’t be impossible for everything to change.

However, this was actually the most dangerous state of mind.

Tai Luo Dragon Sage had once warned that for Sages, the best way to overcome the threshold from short-lived species to long-lived species was to find something that they were adapted to and that could remain unchanged.

It could be a thing, it could be a person.

People were undoubtedly the best.

If there were close friends and lovers, it would be easier to get through the long years.

“The longest-lived martial artists I’ve ever known were a couple of Dragon Emperors. They supported each other and lived for at least a million years.” When Tai Luo Dragon Sage spoke of the famous Dragon Emperor couple, he couldn’t help but show envy, “Their strength may not have been the strongest, but their seniority was the oldest. In the past, they were almost the most envied existence in the entire Dragon Race, and even in the entire world of martial artists.”

Shen Xing humbly accepted. He was still glad that he had a few close friends.

He was also glad that these friends had good martial arts talent.

At least, until now, he hadn’t felt that things had changed. His mentality was extremely young, just like his appearance, maintained at around twenty years old.

He could probably maintain this for a long time.

However, although his own time seemed to be accelerating, for the martial artists of the Human Federation and the Tai Xu World, this period of time was passing extremely slowly.

Because their world, the environment they were in, was undergoing unprecedented changes!

Although Shen Xing didn’t interfere much, the further integration of the two worlds brought about an explosive development of martial arts productivity!

Many martial artists no longer needed to fight and kill to obtain cultivation resources, but instead turned to farming.

They only needed to go to the Federation’s garrison, register, and apply to obtain an interest-free loan for a piece of land with a large formation. Then they could plant spirit herbs in it and sell them, easily obtaining a large number of cultivation pills.

Even though they still needed to repay the loan regularly, it was still far more profitable than before.

Under these circumstances, any family or force with a good piece of land swarmed over.

In the Middle Ruins Land, more and more spirit herb fields began to appear in a very short period of time. Most martial artists were enthusiastically obsessed with farming. The pills they exchanged for were enough to meet all their cultivation needs. The number of martial artists even further expanded.

This brought about a sharp increase in cultivation resources.

And a large part of these resources were transferred to the Human Federation through trade and production. After all, only the productivity of the Human Federation could meet the production intensity of such portable planting formations. The resources obtained in this way were also widely promoted to the public.

In a short period of time, the number of martial artists in the Human Federation also began to expand in a real sense.

Now, not only were there no non-martial artist students on the Academy Home Planet, but even within the entire Federation, martial arts had become a compulsory course for all students.

Almost all students who worked hard could reach the Innate Realm before they finished their basic student career at the age of twenty-two.

With the assistance of the Human Federation’s medical technology, they would have at least four hundred years of life.
