Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 549 - 319: One Man’s Decision Lasts Forever?

After the Star Gate opened, Xuanxing entered the final phase of Primordial Qi Recovery. Some Origin Power contained in the channel subtly merged with the Primordial Qi.

The sky was as blue as a vast crystal, the sun like a golden gem, embedded high above.

Sunlight directly struck the incomparably azure surface of the sea; the waves churned, surpassing any earthly silk.

Over the Pacific Ocean, the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile was quietly cultivating on a small island, occasionally glancing at the Star Gate above.

By now, it fully understood that this was a completely new world.

It didn’t want to think about whether this place was beyond the Cang Mang Domain or simply within the Grotto Heaven opened by the Mixed Cave Realm Daoist Venerable.

In any case, both possibilities meant that its master, as it had predicted, was not simple at all!

As long as it followed closely, the future would definitely not be limited to becoming a Transformed Demon!

There was even hope to directly reach the so-called Demon Monarch Realm, capable of possessing the power of domains.

Breathing in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the spiritual power of the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile spread out. The surrounding Mutant Beasts were receiving various powers from its inheritance, gaining stronger combat skills.

Their bloodlines also further purified, presenting a greater potential for ascent.

"Go on..." it said languidly. Now that it had reached the peak of the Inner Core Realm, further cultivation would hardly increase its strength.

What it could do was stabilize its realm and wait for its master to return.

Demon Beasts possessed stronger physical strength and longer lifespans. However, unlike Cultivators who could continuously advance given talent and resources, Demon Beasts relied too heavily on their physical bloodline.

Even though it had reached the peak of the Inner Core Realm, with its bloodline, it could only be considered a beast, not a demon.

The Demon Race... only those who could reach the Transformation Realm in their adulthood could truly be called members of the Demon Race.

For a creature like it, only by breaking through its own limits, surviving numerous calamities to reach the Transformation Realm, and then offering up years of accumulated resources, would there be a slight chance to fully join the Demon Race and receive greater protection.

The Transformed Demons from the Endless Sea all did this.

Its original path would inevitably have been the same.

But now, the world was entirely different.

Its perspective, its thoughts had all changed.

Signing the master-servant contract with its master, it now realized, was not a disaster but a truly great opportunity. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Therefore, it was willing to offer its condensed Essence Blood, giving these Mutant Beasts a chance to advance to become Condensing Seed Realm Demon Beasts.

It was only a small loss.

As long as it completed the tasks assigned by its master, what it would gain in the future would definitely be far greater!

While it was pondering these things, a very familiar and immensely strong spiritual power suddenly surged out from above the Star Gate.

It wasn’t just the crocodile; a nearby space battleship also detected it instantly.

All crew members in the battleship readied themselves; the laser railgun was aimed at the Star Gate, poised to strike.

The crew had executed similar operations more than once. However, each time was somewhat nerve-wracking, as no one knew how powerful the beings coming through the Star Gate might be.

This was especially true now that the Star Gate was fully open.

Moreover, Jiang Wushen was not present.

The general inside the battleship stared intently at the large screen, one hand ready to press the emergency broadcast button. If an overwhelmingly strong enemy appeared, Xia Country could immediately organize an evacuation.

Then, a figure condensed on the large screen.

A familiar voice rang out from it, "It’s me, Jiang Shu."

「...」

The number of troops stationed along the coast was increasing. With the graduation season upon them, countless martial arts university students came here for internships.

Xuanxing now had four different cultivation systems: Xia Country’s ancient martial arts, the new martial arts path introduced by Jiang Shu, the technologically developed Gene Path, and Spiritual Cultivation from the universe. Everyone was choosing the cultivation method that best suited them.

Martial arts geniuses from several key academies were gathered together, constantly chatting.

They had been organized into a genius camp by the military. As long as they killed enough Mutant Beasts here and accumulated points, they could exchange them for various scarce cultivation resources to strive for higher realms.

"I have to say, Spiritual Cultivation really is the definitive answer. Although it’s a bit slow in the initial stages, our Xia Country has restarted Mecha production, which they say allows Spiritual Practitioners to engage in combat in space much earlier."

"There’s no helping it. Our development on Xuanxing is still too slow. In the vast universe, there are many powerful civilizations. Jiang Wushen has already gone to the Star Ruins Realm; after this, we can only rely on ourselves."

"I really wonder when Jiang Wushen will come back. Every appearance of Jiang Wushen has brought high-speed development to Xuanxing. Although I feel that Xuanxing isn’t weak now—the space battleships have been repaired, and even if we don’t have the capability to wipe out a planet, we can now easily do things we couldn’t before, like intercepting meteorites."

"But we can’t dismiss the fact that other planetary civilizations are definitely more powerful. Just look at the Evil God that invaded our Xuanxing last time. Wang Tianren has come out several times to say that if powerful entities from the universe invade again, even he wouldn’t be their opponent. Only Jiang Wushen could blockade them all outside. Maybe right now, Jiang Wushen is out there beyond the Star Gate, holding them off all alone."

"Damn, you got me all fired up! It really feels like that’s the case, just like in those novels, you know? ’One man standing against all of time’ or something. Crap, no more talk. This time, I must return after slaying three Mutant Beasts of the same realm. We can’t rely on Jiang Wushen for everything! Once I become powerful in the future, I’ll also cross through the Star Gate and stand alone against all eternity!"
