Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 550 - 319: One Man’s Decision Lasts Forever?_2

"Pah! By the time you even get going, Jiang Wushen might have already unified the Universe. In just ten years, from an ordinary person, he soared directly into space. In another ten years, imagine how powerful Jiang Wushen will be! Not to mention, in the previous ten years, our Xuanxing didn’t have enough resources, but in the vast Universe, especially in the Star Ruins Realm, there are definitely more." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"It’s possible Jiang Wushen’s Realm will advance even more rapidly, so we better hurry up and improve ourselves. Otherwise, by then, people at our Martial Arts Realm will probably be considered ordinary, only fit for manual labor."

"Damn! If Jiang Wushen has already unified the Universe, why would we even need to work? Our Xuanxing would have already established colonies, and we’d all be going as capitalists, alright!"

"Your thinking is problematic. What do you mean by colonization? Aren’t we going to liberate those planetary civilizations that are deep in turmoil?"

"Ah, I get it! No wonder my old teacher said that even if my Martial Arts Talent wasn’t bad, I still needed to focus on my cultural studies. It turns out the same words can sound so different when phrased that way."

"No worries, just speak normally. Once we go to other planets, there will definitely be translators to translate for us properly, ensuring it’s all conveyed accurately."

"Damn, the more you talk, the more I look forward to the future! I can easily live to be 120 years old now, and with one more breakthrough, that’s 180 years. No, I need to live a few more years; otherwise, I won’t be able to see such grand scenes."

In the past, Martial Arts Grandmasters were extremely rare, but now on Xuanxing, they are everywhere. Geniuses who can become key talents in academies are all at this Realm.

Under the leadership of strong individuals from the military, they equipped themselves and plunged directly into the Pacific Ocean.

The smart wristbands they wore recorded changes in their blood, as well as all movements of nearby Mutant Beasts. This type of smart wristband, only recently developed, greatly enhanced the safety of every Martial Artist in the Pacific Ocean.

Each of them moved cautiously through the Pacific Ocean. The moment they detected a Mutant Beast of comparable strength, they immediately drew their weapons and attacked. All sorts of traditional weapons—sabers, spears, swords, and halberds—were wielded above the Pacific Ocean. The skill of each Martial Artist far exceeded that of their peers at the same Martial Arts Realm in the past.

In the distance, aboard a cosmic battleship, Jiang Shu stood watching. The large screen was split into various smaller displays, each showcasing the heroic efforts of the Martial Arts College students.

"Indeed, they’re all quite good. The Martial Artists on the third, eighteenth, and thirty-fifth screens deserve extra attention; their skills are advanced for their current Martial Arts Realm."

There’s no need to give them more Martial Arts resources. I’ll just have Little Croc arrange for some Mutant Beasts to be sent their way. We need to further develop their potential.

Jiang Shu watched for a short while, then transmitted his consciousness to the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile. Subsequently, his spiritual power radiated out, lulling everyone on the entire cosmic battleship into a deep sleep, except for the leading general.

At this stage, serving aboard the cosmic battleship was no leisurely position. The Star Gate was like a ticking time bomb: one second it might be peaceful and calm, and the next could bring a fierce enemy invasion. So, not for a minute, not for a second, could they let down their guard. Aboard the cosmic battleship, even when off-duty, no one could truly sleep peacefully; everyone’s nerves remained taut.

There isn’t much I can do. This induced sleep will let them rest a bit more, even if only for a little while.

"Thank you, Jiang Wushen," General Zhao said earnestly. In his view, although they were tired and under great pressure, it was nothing compared to what Jiang Wushen endured out there alone.

Just thinking about it made it clear: the Star Ruins Realm was definitely not a peaceful sanctuary. It was filled with countless conflicts and hidden dangers, where a single misstep could mean death or serious injury. If any other powerful civilization had produced a genius like Jiang Wushen, they would likely have sheltered him, allowing him to cultivate to a higher Realm within the Star Ruins Realm. But Xuanxing was too far behind. If not for Jiang Wushen’s powerful emergence, the few Evil God consciousnesses that had invaded would have kept Xuanxing in perpetual turmoil. Consider the Freedom Country back then. Its military strength was paramount. In the later stages, it even surpassed Xia Country in land area. Its genetic research was even more outstanding, and its Mecha development directly yielded combat power superior to Xia Country’s Martial Artists. At that time, Mechas could navigate the dangerous Pacific Ocean freely. But what happened when the Evil Gods arrived? Mechas were utterly useless. If that was the case for the Freedom Country, how could Xia Country have fared any better?

"General Zhao, you’re too kind," Jiang Shu said. "I will wake them up shortly. Regarding the Star Gate, I’m afraid you’ll have to continue bearing the burden."

Although Master Cangwu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts were overseeing the Black Iron Desert, significantly reducing the danger, General Zhao and their defensive line were still indispensable. After all, both Master Cangwu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts were fundamentally only beings of the Forget Self Realm—Lower Gods. While Tenth Tier experts rarely appeared in the Black Iron Desert, numerous Ninth Rank experts still surfaced. For instance, Tuoba Jin was always accompanied by nine Ninth Rank experts. If they were to discover Xuanxing’s Star Gate and learn its true nature, they might not resist the urge to intervene. With General Zhao and his forces present, if danger arose and a warning was issued promptly, my family would have a much greater chance of escaping to safety.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Shu retracted his spiritual magnetic field. One by one, the personnel aboard the cosmic battleship slowly awakened. During their sleep, some of their cells had been revitalized. Some who were originally only at the fourth or fifth Martial Arts Realm felt the potential for a breakthrough upon waking.

Surprised, they looked up to where Jiang Wushen had been standing, but by then, Jiang Shu had already departed.

「Shengjing.」

"In the Star Ruins Realm, the most common is the Gene Path. This is because gene evolution, among all cultivation systems, requires the least comprehension or Talent. Although the Gene Path has its limits, it can still be absorbed and adopted by us on Xuanxing."

"This is the lineage evolution liquid I purchased in the Star Ruins Realm. Sometimes, the inability to improve genes is due to lineage. For our Human Clan, reaching the Sixth or Seventh Rank in genetic evolution is already quite impressive."

"However, some species in the Universe can directly reach the Ninth Rank or even the Tenth Tier. The lineage evolution liquid is meant to enhance and alter the lineage of our Human Clan. It can be used for initial research. If you encounter any insurmountable difficulties, record them and contact me later."

Given Jiang Shu’s current Realm, a thousand miles was but an instant’s journey. Soon, his figure appeared in the research institute. Because General Zhao had immediately notified Shengjing, the First Leader and Wang Yan were both there to accompany him.

The academicians held the lineage evolution liquid as if it were a priceless treasure. This was an epoch-making product. Once they thoroughly understood it, Xuanxing’s development speed would ascend to a new level. Some experts stuck at the Fifth or Sixth Genetic Rank might now have the possibility of advancing further.

"This is a Laser Cannon. Despite its small size, its power is almost equivalent to the laser orbital cannons mounted on cosmic battleships. When traveling in the Universe and entering planets, carrying a Laser Cannon can greatly increase safety. It’s worth studying. Feel free to dismantle it; this can be bought again."

"Of course, the most important reason for returning this time is to bring back this..."

Jiang Shu paused. He held nothing in his hands, but his simple words exploded like a nuclear bomb in everyone’s ears:

"The Star Network, capable of directly connecting to the Universe and facilitating communication with other civilizations."

"Common knowledge from across the Universe, blueprints for ordinary technological civilizations—all of this can be directly purchased on the Star Network."
