Chapter 246: Chapter 177: Jiang Shu Returns Home! Dad, Mom, Is There Food? (Seeking Monthly Votes)
「The next day.」
Giant cruise ships set sail from various countries, passing through Fusang. The warm sunlight shone on the coastline.
It seemed Fusang had truly bowed its head this time. Even its army had withdrawn by more than half.
In the bustling crowd, Jiang Shu observed the noticeably relaxed scrutiny from the staff. He gazed at the immensely blue sky and sea while his Primordial Power circulated ceaselessly. Suddenly, his body vanished, leaving only a light breeze fluttering through the crowd.
Top-grade Martial Art, Concealing Steps!
After Breaking the Limit of the ’Dream Sleep Elixir,’ Jiang Shu’s brain seemed as though it had been partly unlocked. His thought processes were many times faster than usual, and his comprehension and cognition of Martial Arts were simplified and innovated.
In just one night, he had cultivated Concealing Steps to the entry-level.
As his Primordial Power circulated, the Yuan Qi around him changed. In front of everyone, he seemed to disappear, leaving no trace.
Of course, this kind of "invisibility" could only deceive the mortal eye. It still couldn’t fool technological devices like life detection instruments.
This was only possible because Fusang had lifted the ban. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to sneak back.
With a light leap, he jumped over the detection gate along with the crowd and successfully boarded the cruise ship, standing on the deck.
With the advancement in his Martial Arts Realm, he finally glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of that other world.
Not to mention the Major Sects that one could join only after surviving countless battles across a hundred Dynasties. Even in Qianyuan City, at the intersection of the three great Dynasties where no laws held sway, those dwelling there were true powerhouses of the Acupoint Passage Realm. Each one had made a significant name for themselves in the provincial cities. Some old monsters had even reached the Detachment Realm.
Qianyuan City had a foundation inferior to that of the Da Jing Dynasty’s capital city. In terms of killing and danger, any random passerby there might be a hardened killer who had wiped out entire families.
In there, I unquestionably need to be extra cautious. I need to accumulate enough strength. It’s good to make this trip back. I’ll return to the country, learn more about Martial Saints, and see if the Martial Arts of Xia Country can advance further.
The cruise ship sailed towards the ocean, the blue waves endlessly surging in layers.
Compared to that other world, Xuanxing was undoubtedly much more relaxed and peaceful. Especially since he had broken through a thousand armies alone, besides the great nations, there was almost nowhere he could not dominate. The name of one man could equate to the leadership of a small country.
Xuanxing, in his eyes, was like a treasure trove, and he now possessed the ability to secure a place in it!
Ancient Forbidden Technique, Thunder Peng Netherworld Wings. The Thunder Peng is actually a Peng-type Mutant Beast possessing Thunder Power. If I were in the Da Jing Dynasty, I would probably exhaust all means and still fail to obtain its Essence Blood. After all, these Essence Bloods are surely stored in the Dynasty’s treasury, or the treasuries of the nobility and the true millennial families.
Such Fierce Beasts can only be completely subdued by several Detachment Realm powerhouses. With my current strength, even if I were to cultivate the ’Vermilion Palace Thunder Technique’ to the Break Limit, it would only refine my control of energy, not enhance my spiritual power. Let alone encountering a Thunder Peng; even if I did, I would probably only be able to flee.
But on Xuanxing, it’s possible to turn this impossibility into a possibility!
Under missile bombardment, even a Sixth Rank Mutant Beast could not survive. I just need to appear at the moment of its death.
Jiang Shu murmured to himself, thinking about everything after his return to Xia Country.
I fought such an earth-shattering battle in Fusang. The higher-ups of Xia Country will definitely not act as if nothing happened. It’s very likely that as soon as I return, I’ll be invited to Shengjing to officially meet with the leaders. I hope it will be a win-win cooperation.
Revealing his form in a secluded spot, Jiang Shu’s expression showed a rare trace of relaxation.
Once I cultivate the Thunder Peng Netherworld Wings to the entry-level, my Primordial Power will transform into wings, allowing me to fly through the air. Even if the Liang Family’s old ancestor was waiting there to ambush me, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to me. The Detachment Realm only enhances spiritual power; their essential nature is still the same as Acupoint Passage Realm Martial Artists—they are mortals who cannot fly. Relying on a Treasure for a short period of aerial suspension, how could that compare to flying with wings formed from my own Primordial Power!
"You’ve been standing here alone for a long time. Why don’t you join the party?" A voice as clear as a warbler’s rang out from behind Jiang Shu.
Fusang had been under lockdown for half a year, so the first batch of people able to leave were undoubtedly wealthy and influential. This cruise ship was filled with many who had completed their initial accumulation of wealth and had moved out of Xia Country early. If it had been a time of great peace, their wealth abroad could have lasted several generations. But now things were different; the world had changed dramatically, and some small countries were in constant turmoil.
The truly stable large countries were just a few. Originally, Fusang had been a good choice. It was very close to Xia Country and possessed strong military power, enough to suppress any changes. But the half-year lockdown had made it clear to these people that a great new era had arrived. Nothing compared to freedom and safety.
Not to mention, if a Fierce Beast tide truly erupted, what could Fusang, a small island, use to resist? Even if it resisted, by then they would be trapped on the island, never able to leave. No island could compare to the vast territory of Xia Country.
Although it was said that their previous accumulations of wealth were extremely unclean, if they returned now and donated a portion, they would likely still be able to return safely to their country. It was better than living in fear in Fusang.
Ah, I get it. He probably finds the party boring, just like me. I don’t know why these adults are so keen on hosting all sorts of parties. It’s always the same faces, the same old topics.
