Stronger from Earth-Chapter 154: Surrounded on All Sides (Third Update Requesting Votes)
For an ordinary man to remain a virgin in his twenties might seem a bit embarrassing, but for a cultivator, especially one with considerable talent, it's quite normal.
If Pure Yang has not been lost, the speed of cultivation will be faster, and the quality of True Qi will be higher. Wang Xuan and Li Daoming aspire to reach the peak, so of course, they remain virgins.
"You've grown taller and stronger. You used to look like an average person with no particular features, but now with a two-meter tall physique, you could frighten little kids."
Li Daoming said, noticing that Wang Xuan's vitality was like a furnace, with the Fire of Life burning brightly, and his physique exerted an immense pressure.
His secretary, Chen Mingyu, subconsciously maintained a distance of more than three meters from Wang Xuan because his body was so imposing.
"Compared to you, I still have a long way to go. I didn't expect you to become a lieutenant colonel. That's quite a senior officer.
By the way, why aren't you wearing your uniform? I remember you look particularly spirited in it."
Li Daoming waved his hand, "Once I put on that uniform, I have to constantly remind myself that I'm a soldier, and it's not as free. It's been almost a year, you know what I'm like, if I kept holding it in, I'd go insane."
After joining the military for such a long time, even with his brother's support, it still took him quite a while to get used to his new identity, and he earned a lot of merits in the midst of fire and war.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach the position of lieutenant colonel; his subordinates and other soldiers wouldn't accept him.
He waved his hand, and the large battleship in the sky charged into space. At this time, only Chen Mingyu and two young guards were beside Li Daoming, apparently his personal escort.
"Miss Chen Mingyu, I've experienced your elegance last time, it's unforgettable," Wang Xuan said.
Chen Mingyu, who was both competent and elegantly cold, stepped forward to shake hands with Wang Xuan. Deep down, she felt Wang Xuan was very dangerous.
Li Daoming had returned yesterday and made it just in time for that Celestial Dew Rain, but Wang Xuan thought, this guy's cultivation level still seemed ordinary.
It appeared that since he first met him, his cultivation level hadn't changed, displaying a strength roughly in the Organ Refining Realm, and even now, there was no change at all.
It was obvious that this wasn't his true cultivation level.
Wang Xuan wouldn't ask about personal secrets, and after some casual conversation, they discussed the general situation.
Li Daoming was surprised to hear that Wang Xuan had become a True Disciple of Immortal Martial Mountain: "Wang Xuan, that's an amazing achievement, being a True Disciple of Immortal Martial Mountain throughout the entire Divine Land is very valuable.
This status, once disclosed, would attract many women and people trying to curry favor with you."
"Come on, if I really messed around, my master would deal with me," Wang Xuan shook his head, "Not many people around me know about it, and you better not spread it, or I'll have no peace."
"Tsk tsk, indeed low-key, not willing to flaunt,"
Li Daoming, being no ordinary person himself, did not feel envious of such changes but was genuinely happy for Wang Xuan.
"I have to thank you for giving me the Life Generating Technique, it has been a great help to me," Wang Xuan said.
"As long as it helps, no need to mention thanks," Li Daoming replied casually.
When the two got together in the past, apart from discussing cultivation, they would roam around eating, drinking, and having fun, especially Li Daoming, who had considerable skill in these matters.
But as they grew older, they had settled down and had less inclination to play around.
"Mingyu, you guys should change your clothes first, these outfits attract too much attention."
The group strolled through the streets without worry for danger, the days when they could safely shop were rare in the past.
In what appeared to be the prosperous and serene Earth civilization, crises and conflicts unseen by ordinary people surged like undercurrents. Before these great waves could form a tsunami to drown the populace, the soldiers guarding them had already resolved the crisis.
Casually purchasing a cotton candy, Li Daoming squeezed it into a small sugar ball and threw it into his mouth; its taste was cloyingly sweet.
"I often perform missions in the Netherworld Star Realm, and there's no turmoil in the Solar System, as it's a directly governed region of Earth civilization, any real trouble and a True Immortal could suppress it in a thought.
The danger lies in the Affiliated Star Domains, too many restless individuals. My battleship has been hit several times, where on earth did those remnants get such high-tech weapons.
If I found out which bastard was betraying us, I'd screw their head off."
Li Daoming kept grumbling; he's experienced so much during his time in the military, much of which was confidential and couldn't be discussed with outsiders.
But as someone like Wang Xuan wouldn't die from listening, finding someone willing to listen, he naturally talked nonstop.
"Demons? Truth Sect? Or Nether God Sect?" Wang Xuan asked.
"All of them, a mess, there are masters involved creating chaos after chaos, if the Federation tries a large-scale crackdown, they'd all have run away faster than rabbits," Li Daoming sighed.
He used to not know these things and lived a comfortable life, but now that he knew, he felt a sense of crisis even on the Mother Star.
"If you took a trip to the Netherworld Star Realm, you would know how bad it really is; the Federation has already restricted the residents of the Netherworld Star Realm from coming to the Mother Star, with strict inspections at the Realm Gate."
Only then did Wang Xuan realize how chaotic the Netherworld Star Realm had become.
"Let me tell you a secret, the Netherworld Star Realm borders an alien civilization that is exceedingly powerful and rapidly expanding at that.
The Netherworld Star Realm lies on the edge of their civilization and has long been in contact with those rebels, conspiring together against Earth civilization.
For this reason, the Netherworld Star Realm has been in turmoil."
Wang Xuan was truly shocked to learn that the Netherworld Star Realm borders an interstellar alien civilization, and it seems they are trying to invade Earth civilization.
"It appears that Earth civilization is besieged on all sides," Wang Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
"Exactly, that's why not many experts remain on Earth because they are all acting out plans and infiltrating the Exotic Realm with immortals getting involved."
On Earth, news of the Immortals was scarce, let alone the Immortals; they came and went without a trace, with no one knowing what they were up to.
At times, they would disappear for several to tens of years, claiming to be in closed-door cultivation, but is that really the case?
Wang Xuan's third senior, Wan Futu, has only appeared once so far and has been on missions outside, claiming countless lives; how he got covered in blood is self-evident.
The eldest was consolidating his cultivation, the second senior was striving for the True Immortal Realm, which kept them at Immortal Martial Mountain longer.
"The rivers and lakes of the Mother Star seem tranquil, with little internal strife and almost no major conflicts – historically unlikely.
But it's just like that; were it not for external pressures making everyone work tirelessly against the enemy, how could there be such peace? The friction among various forces alone could trigger large-scale conflicts."
The immortals of the Mother Star are as numerous as the stars, two True Immortals clashing could cause catastrophic devastation, easily obliterating a civilization on a planet.
If such disasters occurred, they couldn't be hidden, yet in reality, nothing of the sort has happened.
The reasons behind this are worth contemplating deeply.
Wang Xuan couldn't help but feel immense pressure and a desire, to roam the Otherworld like those immortals and strive for peace for Mother Star civilization.
Compared to the life-and-death struggle of civilization conflicts, those staying on the Mother Star truly reside in paradise.
"After listening to you, I also can't feel at ease anymore. In such a perilous world, how can one find peace and security without a strong cultivation?"
Wang Xuan said, with Li Daoming nodding in agreement.
