"I understand. But for now, I'm still in this world, where the strongest martial artist is at the Divine King stage. Wait until I reach that main world, then we'll talk about it!" Zheng-Fu said, seemingly dismissing the young man's words, though he secretly agreed with them.
At present, he might be stronger than many people, but that was only within this small world. In reality, it was not small at all for him; there were still many unexplored territories. Yet, the young man kept saying that the world was small. How vast must the main world be!?
"If that's the case, it's up to you. If you think so, then do as you wish. I'm just giving you a warning. I don't intend to force you to accept or obey me," the young man said. He wasn't sure if Zheng-Fu was being truthful or joking because Zheng-Fu had a habit of mixing truth and humor, making him unpredictable. So, the young man left the decision up to Zheng-Fu.
Swish!!!
'No matter how many obstacles there are in the main world, I have to go because the antidote is there. I must retrieve it to save my Qi-Er!' Zheng-Fu was already set on traveling to the main world to find the antidote for the Ancient Winter Captivity Heavenly Poison for his wife.
Swish!!!
After finishing his hunt for a great source of energy, Zheng-Fu returned to the city gate. He released the seven martial masters from another race that he had captured in the forest, but he kept the merged figure of the two fat steamed buns brothers.
"With this, the spell curtain will be several times stronger. Then I can focus on my isolated energy cultivation with complete peace of mind!" Zheng-Fu felt much more at ease, knowing the city's defensive spell curtain would be significantly reinforced.
Flap!!! Flap!!! Flap!!!
Woooooooosh!!!
The figures merged into the spell curtain one by one. Each time a figure was absorbed, a formidable energy wave radiated out, felt by everyone—even the lowest-level cultivators at the Foundation Building stage could sense these immense energy waves.
"What are these enormous energy waves?"
"I don't know either. I only know that something is happening at the city gate. I wanted to go see, but the soldiers and disciples of the Over the World, Beyond Heaven Denomination blocked me!"
"Huh!? Really? This is no joke. I think there might be a confrontation outside!"
"Why worry so much? Staying put is fine, isn't it? As long as we're safe, I don't care about anything else—except the beautiful ladies at the brothel!"
Villagers and cultivators were prevented from witnessing the event to avoid creating chaos. Only elite clans and skilled martial masters were aware of what was happening.
In the new royal palace...
"I didn't expect our kingdom to have something like this!" a sorrowful voice came from a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious robe adorned with diamonds and gems, signifying his royal status—clearly, he was the king.
"Brother, without that young man's help, I can't imagine what would have become of our kingdom. If we hadn't decided to move the capital and Royal Palace here, we would have perished. We are indeed very fortunate," the Second Wang, seated nearby, spoke with admiration and gratitude.
"You're right, Younger Brother! Even though our kingdom now has only one city, it's filled with people. Plus, the Over the World, Beyond Heaven Denomination founded by that young man is helping cultivate numerous skilled martial masters for our kingdom. I believe we'll soon see prosperity again!" King Lu-Song-Xi spoke with a hopeful expression. He believed this was not the end of Blue Land, but rather a turning point that would make the kingdom stronger and larger than ever. As long as there were people and skilled martial masters, the kingdom could recover.
"I agree with Father! My energy level has greatly increased. In just one more step, I'll advance to the Divine Emperor stage. Although I can't compare with Big Brother or Second Brother, I won't give in to either of them!" said Lu-Ying-Ying, who had joined the Over the World, Beyond Heaven Denomination when it was still small. Her energy level had improved significantly, leaping by bounds.
"Younger Sister, you cultivate so diligently that it makes me, your big brother, feel ashamed. Soon, your energy level will surely surpass mine!" First Prince Lu-Fang-Kong, a tall and handsome young man who had reached the Divine Emperor stage before anyone else in his generation, encouraged his sister.
"Big Brother, don't flatter me. I know my own cultivation talent isn't as good. I can't beat you, but I won't back down either. I'll strive to be as strong as both of you!" Lu-Ying-Ying said confidently, with fiery determination.
Ha ha ha!!!
"Good! Good! Very good! My children must be like this!" King Lu-Song-Xi exclaimed loudly, feeling immense pride in his children.
"It wasn't easy for me to cultivate this much, but I won't give in to Big Brother and Little Sister either. I must become stronger, strong enough to protect Blue Land and our people!" said Lu-Bei, who had been silent for a long time. He was usually not very talkative, even with his siblings or father. Most of his time was spent cultivating energy, paying little attention to others.
The spell curtain was now so powerfully enhanced that it could withstand attacks from advanced Divine King stage cultivators. Those below the intermediate Divine King stage could not damage this spell curtain at all.
"There's still more than a month left. My energy level might be able to skyrocket to a new level. Sigh... My energy realm is larger than anyone else's. It takes others a year to level up, but it takes me two years, twice as long. Unless I have sufficient resources!" Zheng-Fu sighed in frustration about his energy cultivation, as he needed to absorb twice as much energy as others. If he hadn't had more resources than anyone else, he wouldn't have reached his current level.
However, needing to absorb more energy had its advantages. It enabled Zheng-Fu to fight beyond his level. He also had several mysterious aids, like the enigmatic dimension and the mysterious voice that had helped him since his first cultivation. These factors gave him many exceptional skills and techniques.
Many kingdoms were now under attack by invaders from other races. Several cities were completely annihilated because they couldn't withstand the high-level, skilled martial masters. These attacks were even more brutal than the invasion by the demon army. At least during the demon attacks, everyone could unite against the enemy since their energy levels weren't excessively high.
However, the martial masters from other races were much stronger than the demon soldiers. One of them could be as powerful as hundreds of thousands of human martial masters because their cultivation levels ranged from the ninth level of the Divine Emperor stage to the half-step Divine King stage. How could humans possibly fight against them?
Only the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country managed to withstand this chaos, as a large number of highly skilled human martial masters had gathered there. This allowed them to handle the great martial masters from other races effectively, helping the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country survive.
On the highest snow-covered mountain in the Holy Ancient Region...
Inside the large ice hall of the Primordial Winter Mountain Peak Sect,
"Sectmaster, our Ancient Winter Land is in serious crisis. Our disciples from the other branches went out to fight the enemy but couldn't cope with them. Only we can confront them!" said an oval-faced woman with fair skin and perfect proportions, speaking with an anxious expression.
"Junior, the twelve grandmasters are currently in isolated cultivation. We, the younger generation, must keep the sect alive. If we make a move now, the enemy will surely invade our sect. Then who will protect the disciples? For now, we must order all disciples from the other branches to retreat to the main sect and evacuate everyone to the lower hills so we can better take care of them," replied another woman of similar beauty, her face and voice were as majestic as those of an angel. Any man standing before her would likely be enchanted by her beautiful voice, unable to regain his senses.
"But the twelve of us can split up and handle this matter, Sectmaster." Another young woman, who was just as beautiful as her seniors, but a bit hot-tempered, suggested that since there were twelve of them, the strongest martial masters of the sect, why not split the group in half to go out and help the villagers...
"Junior, I understand your concern. But Sectmaster is right. Even though there are twelve of us, your energy level is only at the late fifth level of the Divine Emperor stage, and the others' levels aren't much higher. Meanwhile, our enemies are at the advanced Divine Emperor stage or even half-step to the Divine King stage. How can we possibly fight them?" another woman added rationally. Even if they joined the battle, the twelve of them would never be able to defeat the enemies. But within the sect, at least they still had the protection of the ancient spell curtain and the support of the twelve female grandmasters.
"But... Sigh! Why am I so weak? When the sect is in trouble, I can't do anything. I feel so powerless!" one of the twelve leaders of the Primordial Winter Mountain Peak Sect exclaimed, her voice filled with pain. Despite being a high-ranking martial artist in the eyes of others, she now felt no different from a regular cultivator.
"There is nothing in this world that is certain. Just do your best today!" the sectmaster said, comforting her junior.
