Chapter 476



476 Half a Year

Half a year later.

Flying Sail City was the first town of the humans from the blue planet in the abandoned world. It officially had a new name.

The surrounding sky was a little gray and heavy. Thick smoke could be seen billowing into the sky from the mountains. The sound of sawing wood had never stopped.

This was the first time such a technological style had appeared in the extreme west of the south mountain range. After all, the mountain environment here was more suitable for the development of factions with the style of primitive civilizations.

It was evening.

Along the street, oil lamps served as street lamps, and loud music came from a tavern.

From the outside, one could see a scantily clad woman dancing around a pole.

After a busy day outside the city, many warriors would come to the taverns to drink hard liquor. Some of them would even get drunk before finally going home to sleep.

The warriors relied on their strong physique to continue their heavy work the next day.

Martial arts disciples and ordinary people could not leave the secret realm. Compared to them, warriors were like indestructible machines.

At the counter, a middle-aged man with a bear-like figure and scars on his arms quickly poured a glass of strong wine and handed it to the customer in front of him.

Of the three customers opposite him, one was white, one was black, and one was Asian.

From their clothes, one could tell that they were working in the same team. Although this was rare, it was not impossible.

“Old Deng, business is good!” the Asian man asked with a smile after taking in the situation in the tavern.

“I am barely making a living. Most of the money is earned by the boss. I’m just working here. No matter how good the business is, I can only earn my salary.”

The middle-aged bartender smiled stiffly.

At this moment, the black man interrupted and said in a depressed tone, “Half a year has passed. I wonder how many Heaven Combining Pills are left. Who would have thought that warriors were only fit for manual labor in this damned world?”

In the past, warriors on the blue planet had a noble high status and belonged to the upper class. It was the same even at the most critical times.

However, things were different now. It was not that warriors were not allowed to take on missions to expand their territory, but that with the strength of warriors, they would basically not be able to fight back against the native villagers.

A martial master was an existence that used to be known as the guardian of the country on the blue planet. Only they were qualified to participate in the fight against the villages. However, they just barely qualified, and there were often casualties.

“It’s tough! It’s tough!”

The middle-aged bartender sighed and said sympathetically, “Those who were stuck at the last stage of the warrior realm were really lucky in the past half a year. One or two of them seized the opportunity to break through to the master realm.”

The white man picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp. He also said in frustration, “This path of cultivation is really not fair at all. Those who are fast keep progressing faster, and those who are slow remain slow.”

The small town was not forcefully modified by the higher-ups from the blue planet to become Flying Sail City. Instead, the number of martial masters was increasing day by day, and it naturally expanded.

At the same time, during the expansion of their territory, they had obtained the loot from the conflicts and battles. The powerful martial masters at the front line naturally gained the most of it.

At most, warriors could only do logistics work in the city. In terms of the amount of cultivation resources they could obtain, they were far behind martial masters.

Soon, they downed a few mouthfuls of hard liquor.

The middle-aged bartender attended to the other customers. The three of them drank by themselves as they shared the rumors they had heard.

“I heard from the merchants who came from outside to buy medicinal herbs that the person with twin pupils displayed their world-shattering power and found the hiding place of the source ore shops.”

“Indeed. It’s said that his power caused the ground to sink countless kilometers. Blood flowed like a sea, and the whole area collapsed.”

“It’s really that powerful. It’s said that the only time the person with twin pupils was defeated was… Will they come looking for us one day and expose our secret realm?”

“We can’t be that unlucky, right?”

…

In Shanglin Village, which was more than 1,000 kilometers away from Flying Sail City, a few men in the Daxia Kingdom’s military uniforms were gathered in a room. They were military personnel stationed outside the village and were in charge of the hundreds of villagers in the village.

Outside, the villagers who had returned from hunting and gathering medicinal herbs were chatting and laughing as they returned home one after another.

For the villages that had been included in the territory of the Flying Sail City, they had originally thought that hard times had arrived. The rise of a large faction would definitely be accompanied by serious exploitation of the villagers under them.

Unexpectedly, Flying Sail City only sent people to set up camp and pay attention to the movements of the villagers at all times. They did not snatch the prey they had caught or the medicinal herbs they had gathered deep in the mountains.

On the other hand, because the territories of the villages were divided, and the conflicts between the villages were reduced, the amount of materials they brought back during their daily hunting and gathering of medicinal herbs increased.

It was also because of this that the area under the control of Flying Sail City remained relatively stable and riots did not arise among the villagers.

“Chief, when are we going to investigate the ancient lake in Shanglin Village?” Huang Fei asked.

Huang Fei was a young martial master from the military who had broken through with the help of the Heaven Combining Pill. After three months of training, he was currently stationed in the village.

As the commander, Zhao Jing looked out of the window at the sky and said in a low voice, “Even the people from Shanglin Village who have lived in this forest for generations don’t know what’s going on at the bottom of the lake.”

“There’s just the few of us. Let’s wait for further instructions from the higher-ups. I know that everyone is in a hurry to make a contribution, but we can’t let ourselves get carried away.”

The ancient lake was the source of water for Shanglin Village. In history, there were not just one or two villagers who had died trying to find out the truth, but every generation had several such cases.

Another reason why it attracted the attention of Zhao Jing, Huang Fei, and the other stationed personnel was because the average cultivation level of the people from Shanglin Village was clearly higher than that of the other villages.

In the research institute in the secret realm in the otherworld, a professor compared the cultivation situation of the young men and women in the villages under Flying Sail City and discovered something different about Shanglin Village.

After exchanging information, they locked onto the ancient lake that even the villagers did not know much about. Other than this water source, there was nothing to differentiate it from other villages.

Night quickly fell.

Every family in Shanglin Village lit an oil lamp. Their cheerful laughter broke the silence of the night. At the dining table, the adults and children talked about what had happened when they went out that day.

“I gained quite a lot today. I killed three hyenas by myself. We don’t have to worry about meat for a month.”

“Is Old Zhang from next door crazy? He’s actually preparing to go to the big cities outside to have an adventure. It’s so chaotic now. If he dies on the way, his corpse won’t even be found.”

“It’s said that if I make a huge contribution, I’ll have a chance to go to Flying Sail City and obtain a higher-level cultivation technique. Should I take the risk and go to investigate the bottom of the lake?”

“If only I could marry a woman from Flying Sail City. That way, I can become a city dweller.”

The existence of Flying Sail City affected the villages within a radius of more than 10,000 kilometers. Although many villages had been defeated previously and a large number of casualties had occurred, they still had to look forward.

The villagers had all kinds of thoughts. Without a doubt, Flying Sail City had become the center of this large area, attracting the villagers and causing them to want to enter the city.

Late at night, a few villagers with strong physiques knocked on the door of the place where Zhao Jing, Huang Fei, and the others lived.

“What is it?” Zhao Jing got up from the bed and lit an oil lamp.

Huang Fei and the others woke up from their sleep and also got out of bed to light the oil lamps. They had not rested much during the day, so they had dark circles under their eyes.

“Sir, I’m a descendant of Liang Lu. Before my father died, he told me what he saw in the ancient lake. It might be of some use to you.”

Outside the courtyard, the man whispered the reason for his late-night visit.

His voice was very soft, like a mosquito flapping its wings, but it was loud enough for the people in the courtyard.

Soon, the men who had knocked on the door were invited in. They were brothers who were considered tyrants in Shanglin Village, and were all good hunters.

…

In the mountains in the far west of the south mountain range, in a valley where the space-travel distortion intersected, with the interference of the power of distortion here, unless one entered it, the outside world wouldn’t know what was going on inside. To Chen Yiming, this was the most suitable place for cultivation.

Not long after, a flickering figure slowly walked out of the space-travel distortion.

The various auras around him were extremely chaotic. Strangulation, distortion, corruption, and so on were common invasive forces in the space-travel distortion.

Soon, the valley was affected by the oppressive aura of a huge beast. The air exploded, and all kinds of phenomena appeared and disappeared.

The person who had appeared was covered in injuries.

However, in the blink of an eye, his cracked skin returned to normal. The broken muscles and tendons automatically healed, and the wounds disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, in the center of the valley, a humanoid creature formed by spiritual power also opened its eyes.

Chen Yiming asked the spiritual figure to stay in the dangerous place to provide support. Relying on his spatial ability, he had a strong ability to escape. He tried to explore the endless unknown world in the chaotic space.

However, because he did not have much experience, it took him a lot of time. Along the way, he even fought a few battles with creatures from an unknown species. There were cases of both victories and defeats, and he finally entered the target world.

It was a world similar to the Daxia Kingdom during ancient times on the blue planet. Martial arts was the mainstream. The strongest person in the world had barely reached the level of a martial master, and even this was achieved through some tricks.

If one’s spiritual power could not reach the level of controlling the power of nature, they could cultivate the martial arts moves to the point of perfection and use them to activate the power of nature.

Of course, this power could not compare to that of a true martial master. After all, by using martial arts moves to mobilize the power of nature, one could not truly do whatever they wanted. There were many restrictions.

Chen Yiming’s appearance there was like an immortal descending into the world.

At that time, a large area was instantly split apart. The aura of the space-travel distortion turned into an oppressive scene that enveloped the entire world.

All the martial arts practitioners, be it third-rate, second-rate, first-rate experts, or even those at the very top, almost knelt down.

The overwhelming power that could destroy everything in the world was something that everyone admired.

Chen Yiming’s spiritual power swept across the entire world, and he was greatly disappointed. After all, he had spent so much time and effort to reach this place, but it was useless to him.

Therefore, without interacting with the people of this world, he turned around and re-entered the space-travel distortion.

With one last glance, he saw the strongest person from that world shouting about ascending to the immortal realm. Before the spatial rift closed, he also entered the space-travel distortion.

The strongest person in the world was most likely deceived by the legends recorded in the ancient books.

The concept of breaking through space and ascending to a higher realm did not actually mean entering the space-travel distortion was enough to achieve the intended result. Instead, entering the space-travel distortion was only the first step.

Therefore, his body was instantly twisted by the space-travel distortion, and he did not even have a chance to make a sound to warn the people behind him.

The first, second, and third-rate experts were originally still envious of the strongest person in this world. They all thought that he had encountered an opportunity to ascend to the immortal realm as described in the ancient books.

“Although there’s no fixed pattern to the space-travel distortion, is there really no way to go about it except to rely purely on luck?” Chen Yiming thought to himself as he summarized what he had seen and heard during his first attempt.

There were rumors that the Infinite Island Group was not active only in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. Instead, many times, they would travel through the space-travel distortion and fight one unknown world after another.

If that was the case, there must be a way. However, the space-travel distortion involved secrets that not many people knew about.

“An unknown existence living in the space-travel distortion. The weakest creature I encountered this time is at least at the level of the star evolution realm. It’s very difficult to deal with. It seems that if we want to figure it out, we can only find out the truth from the Infinite Island Group.”

Chen Yiming raised his head and looked into the distance.

The factions of the Infinite Island Group were openly searching for the hiding place of the source ore shops in the south mountain range. They were probably hiding in the otherworld like the humans from the blue planet.

However, it was useless for Chen Yiming to find someone who wasn’t at the core of the clan. Therefore, he had to confirm the location of the true headquarters of the Infinite Island Group first.

No one was more suitable for this job than Gao Shuai.

…

In the Myriad Phenomena Academy in the secret realm in the otherworld.

“Look, it’s snowing!”

“It’s really snowing. As the news said, it’s completely simulating the changes in the natural environment. There are also four seasons in the secret realm.”

“How about we make a snowman after school?”

“That’s too childish. We’re students of the Myriad Phenomena Academy.”

“What about it? Can’t we relax a little and make a snowman?”

On the field, a few girls were chatting non-stop, letting the snow fall onto their bodies.

It had to be known that ever since they left the blue planet on the spaceships, the interior of the spaceship was limited by the conditions. The changes in the environment were almost imperceptible. It was not easy for them to land again, but they were still trapped in the otherworld.

Even in the Myriad Phenomena Academy, there were martial arts disciples who had yet to break through to the warrior realm. The girls were relatively young, and they had yet to break through to the warrior realm.

Therefore, they could not leave the otherworld and go to Flying Sail City on the outside.

Soon, the topic of snow ended, and the girls changed to the topic of the academy.

“I heard that a referendum is about to be held to turn all the countries into an empire. The name of the academy will also be changed.”

“What’s the difference? The Myriad Phenomena Academy is already the number one martial arts academy. It’s just changing its name. At most, there will be fewer restrictions.”

The Myriad Phenomena Academy was secretly biased towards recruiting those from the Daxia Kingdom. They could often enter the school under more relaxed conditions, but for the other countries, they followed strict standards.

“How can it be the same? There are many countries now. Everyone is separated into different areas according to the number of people. I heard that every time they want to enforce a new policy, there will be a lot of opinions about it.”

“Indeed. If we were to unite into one empire, there would naturally not be so much trouble. It would be easier for all the forces to be combined into one.”

As students of the Myriad Phenomena Academy, the girls would definitely have to participate in the development of their faction in the future. Therefore, they were very concerned about this matter.

Therefore, they went from chatting about daily matters to national matters. Everyone had excited expressions on their faces.
