Chapter 301: Chapter 205: Honoring Jiang Tian, Advancing to the Detachment Realm, Breaking Through Two Barriers, Emergence, Commanding Objects!_2
The soul also gradually tended toward a state between the tangible and intangible, able to grasp items weighing tens of thousands of pounds.
At this time, outside the A-grade Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.
The instability period of this passageway lasted only one day. According to tradition, the next phase should be when the channel became completely stable. By then, the Mutant Beasts inside would definitely burst forth. The entire Xuanxing seemed to attract them somehow. Some small countries had been destroyed because of this.
Of course, for Xia Country, this was nothing more than a matter of a few more missiles. If it weren’t for the desire to develop the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and study the ruins within, so many soldiers would not have been needed for suppression.
Wang Yan also hurried back from the Shengjing Research Institute after receiving the news. During this time, he had been organizing Meditation techniques. He classified those at the Meditation level and filled in incomplete parts with his own annotations and understanding. The Crystal Meditation Method, in particular, had been elevated an entire level after Jiang Shu’s supplementation. This allowed a Dan Jin Great Grandmaster to directly reach the Meditation stage.
It seemed that in a few days, Xia Country would have another Gang Jin Martial Saint.
His own gains were even greater. In just over a month, his physical body had reached the realm where it could break through the Void and become impervious to deities. His Spiritual Cultivation, although not yet reaching the Fetal Breathing Realm, was not far off.
"Has Jiang Tian mentioned when he might emerge from seclusion?" Wang Yan watched a Fifth Rank Mutant Beast burst forth. He killed it with a punch, dragged its body, and asked the nearby general.
Upon returning to Shengjing, he was immediately summoned by the First Leader to an internal meeting. There, the highest-ranking officials began discussing how to define Jiang Shu’s honorific. They considered the progression: Hua Jing Master, Dan Jin Great Grandmaster, Gang Jin Martial Saint. Reaching the Fetal Breathing Realm, they reasoned, should also have a title.
The first proposal was "Land Immortal" or "Human Immortal." These titles had appeared in Xia Country’s ancient texts, but both were quickly rejected for various reasons. Eventually, it was he who proposed the concept of ’Unity of Heaven and Man.’ This was finally settled: the realm above Gang Jin Martial Saint would be the Heavenly Human Realm.
Jiang Shu, Jiang Tian.
"No," the general replied. "I feared affecting Jiang Tian’s seclusion, so I didn’t even mention that the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm is about to become completely stable. With our missiles and Wang, the Martial Saint, here, we could easily handle it even if a Sixth Rank Mutant Beast burst out."
"I just don’t know how the research institute is progressing with that Sixth Rank Mutant Beast."
The general spoke with confidence. Xia Country was now truly at its most powerful. The corpses of Sixth Rank Mutant Beasts were merely appetizers for them. In time, the Cosmic Relics behind this A-grade Heaven and Earth Secret Realm would also be thoroughly developed by them. One step ahead meant they would always be steps ahead. Xia Country’s overall national strength was bound to surpass Freedom Country.
"It is said that the research is going well, and the genetic gains are quite substantial," Wang Yan replied with a smile. Having just returned from Shengjing, he naturally knew more. "It’s estimated that there will soon be policies promoting both Martial Arts and genetics concurrently, starting from schools."
"Martial Arts are good, but they have Talent limitations; not all students can study them."
"Genetics, however, is different. After years of research by the Xia Country Research Institute, Genetic Potions up to the Third Rank have achieved over ninety percent safety. In the future Xia Country, everyone will be able to live to be one hundred and twenty years old, free of disease and disaster. What a magnificent scene that will be!"
Wang Yan and the general both imagined soldiers in the army forming combat teams before them, sweeping the ground with gunfire, then harvesting. This process was second nature to them.
"Another Fourth Rank Mutant Beast! The A-grade Heaven and Earth Secret Realm is simply amazing; Fourth Rank Mutant Beasts are everywhere!"
"You’re capable, alright! It was real luck this time that the Third Rank Genetic Potion was assigned to you, letting you step into the Third Rank right away. Otherwise, this Fourth Rank Mutant Beast would have been mine!"
"Come off it! If you dare, we’ll compete for Fifth Rank ones in the future! What’s a Fourth Rank? Jiang Tian could kill them just by blowing on them."
"Ah, that’s true. I wonder when Jiang Tian will come out of seclusion. If Jiang Tian were here, we wouldn’t even need to wait for the A-grade Heaven and Earth Secret Realm to stabilize completely; we could just charge in and kill. Even Sixth Rank Mutant Beasts are no match for Jiang Tian. He’s like a human-shaped nuclear bomb!"
Some military officers—those who had practiced Martial Arts to become Hua Jing Masters, and others who had evolved genetically to become Third Rank gene warriors—fought fiercely. Each wore a smile, like farmers looking at a bountiful harvest of rice. To them, these Mutant Beasts could be cultivated and used for genetic research. Each Fourth Rank Mutant Beast could help boost Xia Country’s strength.
"By the way, have you been following the Martial Artist Alliance lately? I don’t know who leaked the news, but someone has already announced Jiang Tian’s current realm."
"Heavenly Human... just hearing the name is overwhelming! I started learning Martial Arts very early on. I’ve watched Jiang Tian rise from obscurity on the Grandmaster List to where he is now—truly invincible. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I’d never believe such an existence was possible in this world."
"Hahaha, so you only follow the Martial Artist Alliance? You have to check out the overseas forums! Over in Fusang, some Grandmaster claimed Xia Country is just putting up smoke and mirrors, trying to create a star. They say they’ve never even heard of the Heavenly Human Realm, that it’s all fake."
"Freedom Country is even worse. They’re saying Jiang Tian is just a poster boy Xia Country is forcibly pushing to promote Martial Arts. They claim it’s actually all about genetics and riddled with drawbacks. They even boast they could create someone like him too—it’s laughable!"
