Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 543 - 316: Star Web! Xuanxing Federation’s Feasibility to the Universe

Compared to the great cities of the Cang Mang Domain, the cities of the Star Ruins Realm had diverse styles.

Some followed ancient styles with carved beams, painted rafters, and gracefully arching eaves.

Others adopted modern styles; hundred-story buildings made of special crystals were plentiful. On the helipads of some high-rise villas, cosmic warplanes even occasionally took off.

Between adjacent major cities, spatial wormholes were established, allowing the strong to travel at will, which was extremely convenient.

"Among the several major cities near the Black Iron Desert, only Xingyu City and Tuoba City have a large number of industries related to technological civilizations," the God of Ten Thousand Beasts remarked.

"However, our Divine Country Star System doesn’t actually have any planets with technological civilizations, so after coming to the Star Ruins Realm, I haven’t really tried to understand it much. I just know a little bit."

Not long after they exited the Black Iron Desert, the true forms of Master Cangwu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts appeared before Jiang Shu.

Perhaps because of Jiang Shu, both entities had transformed into human forms, appearing as middle-aged men, one on each side of him.

After the God of Ten Thousand Beasts finished speaking, Master Cangwu also nodded.

Having cultivated for a thousand years, their perspectives and habits had solidified by the time they arrived in the Star Ruins Realm from their home planets.

They found it very difficult to adapt to technologically oriented civilizations.

Technologically oriented civilizations were only convenient for ordinary people or cultivators of lower Realms.

For them, their own cultivation Realms were powerful enough to render many technological research achievements irrelevant.

For instance, warplanes capable of short-distance flight within the Star Ruins Realm each cost one Cosmic Origin Crystal.

With these warplanes, one could easily travel from a city to various treasure sites for training. In the Black Iron Desert they had just left, for example, if some adventurers there possessed a warplane, they could have escaped the life-threatening crisis, even if they were weaker.

For cultivators of lower Realms, a warplane could save a great deal of time and, when necessary, even their lives.

But for beings like Master Cangwu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts, the flight speed of these warplanes was merely comparable to their own. There was absolutely no need to waste a Cosmic Origin Crystal to purchase one.

One must understand that even for them, refining a single Cosmic Origin Crystal required condensing several months’ worth of cultivation essence.

It was entirely unnecessary.

However, just because they did not need them, it did not mean Jiang Shu did not.

Behind him lay the entirety of Xuanxing. From a personal standpoint, he deeply wished for it to flourish.

From the perspective of his own interests, Xuanxing could only begin to colonize other Life Planets once it reached a certain level of development.

Not to mention, if the guards he had encountered in Tuoba City could obtain Genetic Potions of Sixth Rank or above, the number of powerful individuals on Xuanxing would absolutely surge like bamboo shoots after rain.

His understanding of Xuanxing completely surpassed that of Master Cangwu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Xuanxing was no ordinary planet that had suddenly become extraordinary overnight.

From the very beginning, formidable beings from the Forget Realm had been making arrangements there. The emergence of Secret Realms and the discovery of scriptures related to the Sitting and Forgetting Realm all proved the extraordinary nature of Xuanxing.

In particular, Xuanxing’s Martial Arts and philosophical teachings naturally equipped its Martial Artists to adapt to cultivating the Spirit Path.

Currently, some Martial Artists struggled to transition smoothly from Martial Arts to the Spirit Path, purely because he had introduced the cultivation system of the Cang Mang Domain.

They cultivated through realms such as skin polishing, bone tempering, and organ refining, rather than through Obvious Force, Dark Force, and Transforming Force.

Those who had consistently followed the Martial Arts of Xuanxing, without exception, all possessed extremely high talent for Spiritual Cultivation.

In his vision, the Martial Artists of Xuanxing would inevitably be divided into two categories in the future.

One category would follow the cultivation methods of the Cang Mang Domain, continuously accumulating resources to break through Realms.

The other category would consist of the exceptionally talented, capable of reaching higher Realms, thereby stepping out from Xuanxing and into the Star Ruins Realm.

As they spoke, Jiang Shu drew closer and closer to Xingyu City.

Compared to family-established cities like Tuoba City, Xingyu City more closely resembled a trade center.

It was semi-suspended in the air; viewed from a distance, it looked like a huge continent lying across the sea of stars. It stretched as far as the eye could see, its full expanse hidden.

Though called a city, this Xingyu City is practically a small planet. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Stepping into Xingyu City, Jiang Shu couldn’t help but murmur this thought. The entire city was enclosed within a massive Light Shield, forming a world of its own.

Countless high-rises stood within, and adventurers from the Star Ruins Realm occasionally emerged from the Light Gates of these buildings.

"It’s too expensive! Meteor Vine seedlings actually require one hundred wood-element Cosmic Origin Crystals! With that price, I could directly buy an Eighth Rank Genetic Slave."

"Buy a Meteor Vine? Do you have a Ninth Rank mine at home to afford its upkeep? In this Star Ruins Realm, which Spirit Plant isn’t a money sink? One hundred wood-element Cosmic Origin Crystals is just the beginning. The subsequent feeding costs thousands. Without tens of thousands of Cosmic Origin Crystals, how could you possibly raise a Meteor Vine to maturity?"

"Although a mature Meteor Vine possesses Ninth Rank combat strength, equivalent to the strength of the Forget Self Realm, the cost is exorbitant. Frankly, if Ninth Rank Genetic Cultivators could be implanted with chips to become slaves, it would be far more practical to buy a Ninth Rank Genetic Slave for the same expenditure."

"There’s no helping it. Reaching our Realm, advancing further is incredibly difficult. If one could own a Meteor Vine and cultivate it from a seedling, with sufficient resources, it would be equivalent to doubling one’s strength after a few hundred years. Calculated this way, it’s still very worthwhile."
