Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 552 - 320: On Xuan Star, Planning for the Future_2

"The chip could no longer bind spirit and flesh. Therefore, in the Star Ruins Realm, amidst the vast universe, only those at the Ninth Rank possessed a certain degree of freedom. They could become legal residents in the large cities of the Star Ruins Realm or join true major Factions."

"The advantage of the Xuanxing system, however, was that there were no other civilized planets within the entire star system. As long as the Star Gates were guarded, Xuanxing could develop in peace. At this stage, the focus should be on enhancing their strength, finding resources on other planets, and colonizing those capable of sustaining life."

"As for understanding more about the universe, Leader, you can search the Star Network yourself. The Star Network also features a trading system. There, one can purchase formulas for gene evolution fluids below the Ninth Rank, research blueprints for robots, and even some Genetic Cultivation Methods and Spirit Path Cultivation Methods using intergalactic currency."

"A single Cosmic Origin Crystal is worth one million intergalactic currency. This is my account. Once you’ve registered your own, add me, and I’ll transfer ten million intergalactic currency to it. That should be enough to purchase some basic knowledge."

For Jiang Shu, Xuanxing was of utmost importance. Not only was it the place where he had always lived, but in the future, he could also refine the planet’s Origin to reach higher Realms. However, at this stage, he wouldn’t focus all his attention solely on this. He also didn’t want Xuanxing’s Martial Artists to lose their ambition, nor its leaders to lack a sense of crisis under his protection. He hoped that with his support, Xuanxing would develop more rapidly and thereby benefit his own cultivation. After all, the development of a civilization cannot rely purely on an individual.

After settling all matters, Jiang Shu no longer lingered in Shengjing and returned directly to Ji City.

On Ji Mountain, within the villa, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was exceptionally dense due to the Earth Rank Great Array. His sister, Jiang Yanyue, now seldom visited Jiangnan Academy, dedicating most of her time to arduous cultivation at home, striving to break through every acupoint in her body.

Ye Zhenzhen, owing to her Spiritual Body, had some acupoints naturally open from birth, allowing her cultivation Realm to advance even faster. However, compared to Jiang Yanyue, she lacked sincerity and talent for Martial Arts. Jiang Shu believed she would soon be surpassed by Jiang Yanyue.

As for their parents, they had started too late. Despite having sufficient resources, they still couldn’t break through to the Fifth Realm. However, to the current Jiang Shu, this wasn’t a significant issue. He directly guided the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to open some of the more important acupoints in their bodies, storing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within. Although this was done, their understanding of the Realms remained superficial, and they couldn’t unleash their proper combat strength. But from the outset, he never intended for his parents to fight; helping them break through Realms was merely to grant them longer lives. After all, he didn’t want to emerge from a century of secluded cultivation only to find his parents had turned to dust. If that were to happen, what meaning would his own cultivation hold?

"Dad, Mom. This is the Meteor Vine, a very famous Spirit Plant in the universe. Once hatched, even in its juvenile phase, it possesses the strength of the Sixth Rank. They grow and evolve by absorbing the essence of various plants. You can take them to the rainforest areas and let them absorb it on their own."

After taking out two Meteor Vine seeds, Jiang Shu made a gesture with his palm, and a drop of his parents’ Essence Blood dripped onto each Meteor Vine. Without Jiang Shu, even if his parents obtained the Meteor Vines, they couldn’t make them acknowledge a master. After all, a juvenile Meteor Vine possessed Sixth Rank power. Without a sufficient Realm to subdue it, they would be absorbed as nutrients instead. But under Jiang Shu’s spiritual power, the Meteor Vines quickly submitted and acknowledged their masters.

Jiang Yongyi and Xu Lizhi could clearly feel the green saplings connecting directly to their hearts, as if they could summon them forth with a single thought.

"The Meteor Vine offers both offense and defense. With it, even if you face a Sixth Rank Fierce Beast or the like, you’ll be able to escape at the first opportunity."

"Yanyue, Zhenzhen, you two will also get one, but you need to subdue your Meteor Vines yourselves. Don’t worry, I’ll be here watching."

Jiang Shu’s words were uncharacteristically gentle. He looked at his sister, who was watching in amazement as the Meteor Vines entwined around their parents, and smiled, beckoning her over.

Their parents had achieved their current Realm solely through his direct empowerment, so their control over Primordial Power and spiritual power was extremely weak. Jiang Yanyue and Ye Zhenzhen were different. Since being introduced to Martial Arts, they had spent more time cultivating on their own. Jiang Shu rarely offered direct assistance, merely providing resources. Furthermore, unlike cultivators in the Cang Mang Domain, they also practiced the Spirit Path. This made their spiritual comprehension stronger than that of an average Acupoint Passage Realm cultivator. If they could subdue the Meteor Vines on their own, it would also greatly benefit the enhancement of their spiritual power.

"Ah... okay... Brother, how long will you stay this time before you return to the Star Ruins Realm?" Without immediately dripping her blood for recognition, Jiang Yanyue asked somewhat cautiously.

Her brother’s strength improved incredibly fast. Every meeting seemed to bring her a profound shock. Last time, it was altering heaven and earth, causing flowers to bloom in an instant. This time, he had brought a formidable Spirit Plant that was already at the Sixth Rank in its juvenile stage. She knew without thinking how precious such a Treasure must be. How long had it been since her brother departed Xuanxing and entered the Star Ruins Realm? What immense effort must he have expended to acquire these life-saving items for them?

"Oh? So now you’re calling me ’Brother’ again?"

"I’ll only stay for a few days. I’ll spend some time with you and our parents before I go back. Something important has come up, and time is tight. However, I brought back something good this time. With it, staying in touch will be much more convenient."

Jiang Shu glanced sideways at his sister, who had clearly grown a little distant due to their long separation, and ruffled her hair.

He then fully explained the origins and functions of the Star Network. The combat zones within it would be immensely beneficial for Jiang Yanyue and Ye Zhenzhen. As for his parents, they could also log into the Star Network and enjoy a variety of virtual products. With the aid of the auxiliary optical computer, these virtual products, whether for entertainment or dining, could be almost indistinguishable from reality. This allowed people to enjoy many experiences that the people of Xuanxing could previously only dream of, all without leaving their homes.

Of course, these pleasures all required a substantial amount of intergalactic currency. For this, he planned to deposit one million intergalactic currency into the accounts of his father, mother, sister, and Ye Zhenzhen respectively.

Moreover, besides improving his family’s quality of life and facilitating Martial Arts exchanges, the Star Network would also allow his parents, sister, and Ye Zhenzhen to contact him at any time. After all, he would likely be shuttling between the Cang Mang Domain and the Star Ruins Realm for the foreseeable future. He would seldom have the chance to return to Xuanxing. With the Star Network, if he had time, he could meet his parents via the optical computer even while in the Star Ruins Realm.

He just didn’t know if it could be used in the Cang Mang Domain.

Shaking his head, Jiang Shu didn’t dwell on it further. He directly took out four auxiliary optical computers and gave one each to his parents, his sister, and Ye Zhenzhen.

He then had his sister, Jiang Yanyue, go first, to see if she could make the Meteor Vine acknowledge her as its master through her own abilities.

In front of the villa, Jiang Shu had preemptively set up a small array to better gather the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around his sister, Jiang Yanyue.

As Jiang Yanyue sat cross-legged and a drop of her Essence Blood fell onto the Meteor Vine in her palm, his voice began to resonate in her mind:

"Feel the Meteor Vine sprouting from its seed. Stabilize your mind; don’t try to subdue the Meteor Vine yet. Your spiritual power is far from sufficient.

"Close your eyes and regulate your breath. The Realm after the Acupoint Passage Realm is the Detachment Realm. Normally, only upon reaching that Realm would you perceive your own spiritual power and be able to project it out of your body, move objects, manifest it, or possess things.

"Only at that Realm can one truly subdue the Meteor Vine. So, for now, you must be resourceful. Sister, because you’ve also cultivated the Spirit Path in addition to the Martial Arts I taught you, your spiritual power is higher than that of a martial artist who only cultivates what I imparted. Your Spirit Realm has already reached ’Constant Stability.’

"As long as you maintain a stable mind and remain unswayed by the Meteor Vine, the juvenile vine will choose to submit once its power is exhausted.

"Through such a contest, your connection with the Meteor Vine will become even closer, enabling you to wield its power to the fullest.

"More importantly, your spiritual power might experience a further breakthrough. Once you open all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in your body, you can leap directly into the Martial Arts Sixth Realm, the Detachment Realm.

"There will be no bottlenecks thereafter!"
